good old days

On Saturday afternoon, Jiang Xinyu went to Jiang Yuzhu’s house.

With the help of a nanny, Jiang Yuzhu took care of the two children without much effort and looked good.

"When Gao Weihua comes back from get off work, I have to go find him. His mother-in-law went to my house before, and she still said the same things she told your mother-in-law."

Jiang Yuzhu was very impressed by Xiao Shuping. She held her child and said with bright eyes: "There is a private restaurant opened by the lake. The smell that comes over at night is very fragrant. It is said that it is made by the descendants of the former palace chefs." , I’ve wanted to try it for a long time, now I’m going to make a reservation and eat together in the evening.”

Jiang Xinyu had no objection, "Okay, let's make a decision first. I'll pick up my mother-in-law and children in half an hour."

To eat delicious food, the whole family can go.

This private restaurant is not open on the street, but by the lake in this area. It has a large courtyard with four entrances. The layout of the courtyard is very particular. There are koi carps swimming in the pond in the winter. The temperature in the courtyard is obviously higher than outside. high.

The two of them wanted to make a reservation at two o'clock tonight, but unfortunately the person in charge said that all the rooms had been booked.

The person in charge said politely: "There are still rooms for tomorrow. If necessary, you can make a reservation for tomorrow in advance."

The two refused and left the courtyard.

Jiang Yuzhu clicked her tongue: "I thought it didn't do much business here. Last night, Zhou Qi and I went for a walk around the lake. There were a lot of cars parked outside."

She smelled the aroma and wanted to eat, while Zhou Qi saw the splendid scene and wanted to go in to see who was responsible for such a big scene.

Unable to book a table, Jiang Xinyu simply booked a table at a restaurant on the street.

Gao Weihua didn't come home until around seven o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Qi came to call for someone. When Gao Weihua took Gao Lang out, his wife Xiao Yujun grabbed his sleeve and said, "I'll go too."

Gao Weihua originally didn't want to take her with him, but he thought that if he didn't take her with him, she would definitely be suspicious at home. After being instigated by her mother, he still felt uneasy, so he agreed.

There were eight people sitting in the box, and once everyone was there, the food started to be served.

Gao Weihua first introduced his daughter-in-law Xiao Yujun to everyone, and then filled a glass for himself, "I was supposed to treat you to this meal, but you guys took the lead. I will make up for it next time. I was rude last time, and I will take this glass Just do it.”

Jiang Xinyu was slightly moved when she heard Xiao Yujun's surname. There is no one with the same surname as her mother these days. Either her father is also surnamed Xiao, or there is some other secret.

She glanced at Xiao Yujun and found that this graceful and delicate beauty was also looking at her.

She smiled, and the other person also curved his lips, looking calm and quiet.

Jiang Xinyu didn't expect her to come. She originally wanted to talk about Xiao Shuping, but now she couldn't say it in front of other people's daughters.

Seeing Gao Lang pouring drinks one by one, Jiang Xinyu said: "We won't drink anymore. I have to drive back later, and my mother doesn't know how to drink."

Gao Lang loves to play, but he also knows how to get into trouble with his friends. But this is his brother's partner, and he really can't let others drink, so he has to sit back and fill up a glass for himself. .

Xiao Yujun was a man of few words and sat quietly next to Gao Weihua. But every time Jiang Xinyu looked at her, she found that she was also looking at him.

Gao Weihua: "The hot springs are natural and contain trace elements that are good for the body. The one we built ourselves is called a hot spring, and it does not have the function of a natural hot spring. The designer said it can be made, but the cost can be increased, and the drawings have been drawn. The cost hasn’t been calculated yet, and construction can’t be done in the winter. I plan to give you a new plan before the year, and if there’s no problem, sign the contract. What are you doing today...?”

Before they had even eaten a few bites of the meal, they got down to business. Jiang Xinyu glanced at Zhou Qi and filled a bowl of soup for the child and her mother-in-law, "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk after eating."

Talking while eating can lead to indigestion. When Xiao Shuping came for her, they didn't make any fuss. They could treat it as a trivial matter. After all, the decision was in their hands. Their partner was Gao Weihua, not Xiao Shuping.

However, cooperation must be based on mutual trust. Xiao Shuping came here and said that she was holding back. Who knows if she will do other things that will affect cooperation in the future? According to Jiang Yuzhu, Deputy Director Xiao had some objections to her.

Gao Weihua frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.

Zhou Qi simply brought the topic to the private restaurant in the courtyard.

Jiang Yuzhu: "It's such a cold day, the lake is frozen, and there are koi swimming in the pool in the courtyard. The temperature is also higher than outside. I don't know how."

Why do you do it? Just spend money on it.

Zhou Qi: "When did such a generous family appear in our area? We can't even book a place."

Gao Weihua can answer this question, "You know, the Yang family. In the past, when the imperial court was still in power, the Yang family immigrated with their entire family when the Allied Forces invaded. They moved abroad. In the past two years, they have emerged again. There are foreign investors in Jianmen Hotel." The surname is Yang, and the Yang family is behind the restaurant."

Gao Lang said: "They ran away when they were in trouble, and now they come back to make money. The private rooms in the hotel are built one by one like a palace. The waiters who serve the dishes all wear cheongsam, and they are all taller than... "

At this point, Gao Lang automatically shut up.

In this situation, his figure seemed a bit obscene.

It is an exaggeration to say that the private room is the same as the palace, but Gao Lang has never seen such high-end decoration in other private areas. It is completely different from the guest room style in the Capital Hotel. The decoration style in that unnamed restaurant is antique. Antique, low-key and luxurious.

Jiang Xinyu remembered that her surname was Yang Guangrong, and her ancestors should be the imperial merchants mentioned by Gao Weihua.

There are also rumors circulating in their school about Professor Yang Qinyang's choice to sponsor students to study abroad.

The gossip is not false news, Professor Yang has approached her.

With Chang Zhenzhen's grades, she wouldn't be able to get a place to study abroad at public expense. She probably followed Professor Yang's path.

After almost eating, Jiang Xinyu revealed the purpose of coming to Gao Weihua today.

"I speak frankly, and I say whatever I have to say. If I offend someone, I don't regret it. The amount of money we invested in our cooperation is not a small amount. It's better to say something ugly up front than to make it ugly later, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Gao Lang sat upright.

Gao Weihua nodded seriously, "That's what you said."

Jiang Xinyu continued: "Two days ago, your mother-in-law came to our house and said that the current environment is not suitable for a restaurant project. She also said that you have no experience in this area. What she meant in her words was that I should think carefully about working with you. What she said makes sense, if the policy is repeated, we may not be able to achieve anything good.”

Jiang Xinyu was observing Gao Weihua's reaction as he spoke. His face tensed up instantly, his eyebrows knitted together, and the palm of his hand holding the cup was so hard that his knuckles turned white.

Yes, it was obvious that Xiao Shuping had offended Gao Weihua by meddling in other people's affairs.
