Chapter 30 Peach Blossoms Bloom
The memory returns to the past.
Last summer, Xiao Yingchun, who had just graduated from college, suddenly heard the bad news that his parents had been in a car accident and were in critical condition.
She went home, spent all her savings, and borrowed money from relatives, but still died.
After finishing the funeral arrangements, he left the supermarket to his aunt and went back to Haicheng to look for a job.
After interviewing with several companies, he joined the company at that time and became a subordinate of Liu Weimin, the marketing director.
Liu Weimin is a standard Phoenix man. My family lives in a rural area and I have a younger brother studying in college. From the moment he started working, he had to bear his younger brother’s tuition and his parents’ medical expenses and alimony.
This directly caused Liu Weimin to have no house or car, and he had no one to marry even though he was nearly thirty years old.
Liu Weimin worked hard for this.
To his superiors, Liu Weimin was groveling and flattering to the point of nausea; to his subordinates, he squeezed and suppressed them and took advantage of them.
Many female subordinates had been sexually harassed by Liu Weimin, but Liu Weimin did not want to find them as girlfriends, just to take advantage.
He is very discerning in finding a partner and wants to find a girl who is richer and more capable of making money than himself.
It is said that Liu Weimin once pursued the marketing director of another area of the company, but he was outstanding in all aspects and looked down upon him at all.
Liu Weimin also pursued the company's vice president, but he was looked down upon.
Xiao Yingchun didn't understand: Why did Liu Weimin, who only had money and power in his eyes, come all the way from Haicheng to confess to him?
Does he know that he makes 100 million a day?
This is impossible.
So it must be something else.
Xiao Yingchun thought for a while, dug out the WeChat account of her former colleague, and asked tactfully about Liu Weimin.
Colleagues didn’t know either. They just said that Liu Weimin had asked for annual leave from the company a few days ago and said he had something to deal with.
If you can't figure it out, just throw it aside. It's not worth bothering with this kind of person.
Seeing that dinner time was approaching, Xiao Yingchun was ordering takeout from Meituan when Grandpa Zhao suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"Little Yingchun, haven't you had dinner yet?"
Xiao Yingchun saw Zhao Jiping and greeted with a smile: "Grandpa Zhao, not yet, why are you here at this time? Is there no soy sauce or vinegar at home?"
Zhao Jiping smiled and waved his hand: "I have them all. I'm here to tell you, don't order takeout. I will bring you food later."
Xiao Yingchun was so shocked that everyone stood up: "No, no! I can eat whatever I want by myself, so don't be polite!"
"How polite is this? I heard Xiaoxin say today that he and you are doing business together? Then you can be considered one of our own."
"It's not good to eat too much takeout. It's hard for me to cook alone. If I just cook more, you can be considered as helping me!"
Zhao Jiping looked like he couldn't refuse and was about to leave after saying this.
Xiao Yingchun didn't dare to agree: "No need! I've already ordered it. I ordered shrimp with garlic paste."
Zhao Jiping was stunned: His family only stewed chicken today, and they really didn’t prepare any seafood.
Xiao Yingchun smiled and sent Zhao Jiping out: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhao. I am alone. Sometimes I can just eat whatever I want and be done with it. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhao Jiping smiled with emotion: "Little girl, you are always busy. I think you have been very busy recently. How about..."
"I'll bring you some stewed chicken with matsutake mushrooms later, just treat it as an extra dish."
After saying that, Zhao Jiping left as if running away, for fear that Xiao Yingchun would refuse.
Xiao Yingchun had not planned to eat shrimps at first, but now she was forced to eat shrimps in order to avoid being cheated for a while.
She ordered a shrimp with garlic sauce and a side of green vegetables. When Zhao Jiping brought the chicken soup, she just received the takeout and was ready to eat. Zhao Jiping had obviously eaten. He placed a bowl full of matsutake chicken stew on the small table and enthusiastically asked Xiao Yingchun to try it.
Xiao Yingchun smiled awkwardly, and while thanking him, he also brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Zhao Jiping and invited him to eat shrimp.
Zhao Jiping did not refuse. After eating two of them, he watched Xiao Yingchun eat with a smile.
The old man looked at his grandson's wife with loving eyes, and Xiao Yingchun was a little bit bored.
Family members, who can bear this?
After finally waiting for Zhao Jiping to leave, Xiao Yingchun immediately sent a message to Dai Hengxin: "What did you say to your grandpa?"
Dai Hengxin: "???"
"He brought me matsutake chicken stew today! Dumb emoji."
Dai Hengxin: "Hahahahaha... He must have misunderstood and thought you were my girlfriend. Hilarious emoticon pack"
Xiao Yingchun almost begged: "Brother, I beg you, can you tell your grandpa and ask him not to give me chicken soup?"
"I'm so embarrassed!"
"My toes dug out the three bedrooms and one living room!"
"I didn't know how to eat the whole time!"
Dai Hengxin sent a series of hilarious emoticons, and finally replied with three words: "No problem."
After a while, he took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, my grandpa was too enthusiastic and eager, which caused you trouble."
Xiao Yingchun: "Forget it, don't argue with the old man..."
After this incident, Xiao Yingchun had no intention of opening a shop and simply closed the front door. He was about to close the back door when he suddenly heard the "Welcome" electronic prompt.
She looked up in shock, only to see a face very close to her.
It was Fu Chenan who came in!
Fu Chenan was wearing a brown brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. He seemed to have drunk some wine. His cheeks were reddish and his eyes were moist. He looked straight at people, but he still had a smile on his face.
Xiao Yingchun's eyes widened and she took a step back: "Why are you here at this time? Are you in the capital?"
Fu Chenan: "I haven't arrived yet. I can arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow."
"I entered a state capital today and was entertained by the local magistrate. They were all drunk, so I pretended to be drunk and went back to the courtyard."
Xiao Yingchun quickly moved out of the way: "Then let me get you some honey tea?"
"Okay." Fu Chenan walked to the round table and sat down, not forgetting to look at the supermarket that had obviously changed: "Is this supermarket different?"
Xiao Yingchun took a bottle of honey grapefruit tea: "I'll heat it up for you... The supermarket has been renovated in the past few days."
"Oh... you haven't eaten yet?" Fu Chenan saw the leftovers on the table.
Xiao Yingchun heated the grapefruit tea in the microwave and handed it to him, preparing to clean up the leftovers on the table: "I've eaten, this is what I haven't finished yet..."
Fu Chenan suddenly said: "I'm not full yet."
Xiao Yingchun's hand paused and she carefully observed Fu Chenan's expression.
General Fu was staring at the remaining two-thirds of the shrimp with garlic paste, stewed chicken with pine mushrooms, and green vegetables in front of him, his eyes full of longing.
Xiao Yingchun struggled internally: "What, this is the leftovers from my meal, how about I get you some self-heating rice?"
General Fu didn't seem to mind. He pointed at the garlic and opened the shrimp and asked, "I haven't eaten this before. Is it a kind of insect?"
Xiao Yingchun: "This is a shrimp. It's something from the sea. It's bigger than a river shrimp. Cut it in half, fry it with minced garlic and steam it. It looks like this..."
General Fu's eyes were full of yearning and curiosity: "Is it delicious?"
