Chapter 29 Versailles
Chen Pingping lives in an old residential area in the old town of Dongjiang City. During the early construction, there was no parking lot planned.
Nowadays, with the increase of vehicles, motor vehicles and even motorcycles and battery scooters are parked randomly in the community. A large pickup truck like Xu Bo'an cannot get in at all.
Xu Bo'an originally planned to be a gentleman and let the driver wait. He would send Chen Pingping in first and watch her go upstairs. Seeing that Chen Pingping refused a little firmly, he didn't insist anymore.
After all, middle age is the age when people can best know how to advance and retreat, and they will never force others.
Maybe the other party has her own concerns, or she doesn't want Xu Bo'an to see her embarrassment, or she doesn't want Xu Bo'an to see her secret.
These are not problems, Xu Boan can understand them.
Maintaining a certain sense of distance is the most comfortable way for people to get along with each other.
But understanding is understanding, and it is inevitable that there will be grudges.
After all, middle-aged people not only think broadly, but also think more.
Why don't you let me take you home? Are you a Tibetan?
Should I be used as a spare tire or as a fish in a fish pond?
We are all adults now, so I can understand if you have low self-esteem, but I won’t be willing to use me as a spare fish in the fish pond.
Chen Pingping did not want Xu Boan to misunderstand, so she sent such a message.
As soon as you turn faceless, it means that you will start taking off your makeup when you get home and will not arrange anything else.
Secondly, the pajamas are meticulous, which means that no one in the family is causing trouble, otherwise not to mention the clothes, the hair will be messed up.
Xu Bo'an smiled and felt a little calmer. There are benefits to getting along with smart people.
Qi Xiaoxue never thinks about Xu Boan, she only complains that he is stingy, jealous and misunderstanding her, and demands that she trust her unconditionally at all times.
Then, Xu Boan was given the green thumb.
Thinking that it was late at night and his parents were probably asleep, Xu Boan did not reply to his parents' messages.
Just as he was thinking about whether to reply to Chen Pingping, Xu Boyan's phone rang, and the caller ID was Chen Pingping.
Xu Bo'an sighed that the two of them were in tune with each other, and answered the phone: "Sorry, I just took a shower. I was about to text you back."
"You're okay? Well, I just saw the news that there was a car accident on the Ring City Viaduct. I thought you would have to take this road to get home. "
Xu Bo'an couldn't help but feel warm, someone cares. It feels really good.
"Thank you so much for your concern. I'm fine."
Chen Pingping smiled and said with a hint of shame: "It's my turn to thank you. I was the one who bought the house from you. I should treat you to dinner, but it will cost you in the end."
Xu Bo'an smiled: "Let's not be polite to each other." After thinking about it, Xu Bo'an continued: "You. If you're really sorry, I really have to ask you for something."
"Just say it!" Chen Pingping said generously without any hesitation.
Xu Bo'an explained: "My parents are coming to Dongjiang tomorrow afternoon. Although this villa is fully equipped with furniture, appliances and other daily necessities, I always feel that something is missing."
Chen Pingping is a little bit He said in disbelief: "Boss Xu, your house is a finely decorated room among finely decorated rooms. It not only has all kinds of hard and soft furnishings, but also has bedding and pillows in the bedroom, pots and pans in the kitchen, and toiletry bags in the bathroom." It’s complete and has the same configuration as a hotel. You can definitely check in with your bags. No, you don’t need to carry your bags. What else do you think you can miss!”
Xu Bo'an pondered for a while and said with some hesitation: "Actually, I can't tell. Maybe... it probably lacks the atmosphere of living here. I think at least some more common ingredients, seasonings, suitable clothes and hobbies should be added. Green plants, in this way, will give the home a sense of life.”
What an answer from Versailles!
Chen Pingping felt speechless for a while.
I think your house is too big, too empty, and looks lonely!
You have only moved in for less than a day, how can you find the breath of life?
If I really find it for you, then this house is either a second-hand house that someone else has lived in, or it is something weird! You're not happy either way.
I complained in my heart, but Chen Pingping was still happy to help.
After all, the more opportunities two people have to get along, the closer the relationship is. Even if they can't get married and live together, as long as there is no deep hatred, who would refuse to have a rich person as a friend?
When Xu Boan and Xu Boan were discussing trivial matters here, they didn't know that Su Tai was investigating him all over the world.
In Su Tai's study room, Su Tai checked Xu Bo'an's information all night long, sometimes making two strokes to mark it, sometimes smiling and nodding.
The Dongjiang Construction Engineering roster next to it was also opened by Su Tai, excerpting two names from time to time and writing them on the A4 paper beside it.
I was transferred from another unit to Dongjiang Construction Engineering Group, and I didn’t even have anyone I could trust.
Xu Boan's appearance happened to be the pillow that appeared in time when Su Tai fell asleep.
In the end, Xu Bo'an's name was connected to the position of chief engineer of Dongjiang Second Construction Company, with a bracket added after it, indicating that Xu Bo'an will also serve as the person in charge of the Jiuchang Street ancient city new construction project.
The position of the top general manager of Dongjiang Second Construction Company is connected with the position of general manager of Dongjiang First Construction Company, which means that in his plan, the positions of the two people will be reversed. .
This is a normal job transfer, which seems very ordinary.
The key is that everyone in Dongjiang Construction Group knows that the boss of the company will retire in a few months.
If he is transferred to the second company, will people listen to him, the general manager who is about to retire, or to Xu Boan, the chief engineer who is making a comeback with a big tree behind him?
Xu Boan didn’t know all this.
In other words, even if I know, I don't care that much.
Drinking makes men bold, but money makes men bold.
Nowadays, Xu Bo'an is worth tens of millions, lives in a luxury car and a mansion, and his mood is naturally different.
Just like his favorite beef pan noodles back then, he no longer dares to eat it because of the three-high problem.
When Xu Boan was in junior high school, he attended the middle school in the town.
Because of the long distance, I can only live on campus.
At that time, he loved eating beef noodles from a noodle shop across from the school. It must be the authentic Huizhou beef noodles in Shicheng.
But for poor families who cannot even touch meat a few times throughout the year, the price of 2 yuan a bowl is really unacceptable.
If you want to add some dried fragrant or beef cubes, it will cost another one yuan.
If you were extravagant and bought a 50-cent white bun with ham, you would be even more greedy and drooling.
At that time, pork only cost four or five yuan a pound. Enough for a family to celebrate an important holiday.
Even the food in the school cafeteria, a dish plus two steamed buns, only costs 9 cents.
Vegetables cost 50 cents, and steamed buns cost 2 cents each.
Xu Bo'an often squeezes out breakfast money from his food expenses, and even catches scorpions and cicadas during holidays and sells them to second-hand dealers to earn some pocket money.
After finally saving some money, I really want to have a luxurious meal in a small restaurant outside, but there are always other places to spend money.
The trendy soft-cover notebooks bought by others, the new Justice Warrior pens used by others, the Light Warrior pencil case just bought by a classmate, the ice packs, popsicles and even sodas that your roommate treated you to after the gym class!
Do you want to buy it? Do you want to eat it? Do you want to return the invitation?
We all live under the same roof and stay in the same class. Who can really not be moved at all? Who can be shameless about eating and drinking every day?
After buying these things, Xu Boan's small treasury will be running low, or even empty.
At that time, Xu Bo'an dreamed of being able to walk into that noodle shop without any burden, and call out casually, "Have a plate of pan noodles, add double portions of beef cubes, add dried spices, and have a piece of Baiji." "Mountain"!
It's a pity that until he graduated from junior high school, he couldn't happily eat in that noodle shop.
After I left there, it wasn’t until Xu Bo’an graduated from university and started working and returned to the town for a blind date that I had the opportunity to pass by that noodle shop again.
The author admitted that as he wrote this paragraph, he drifted away. But I really can’t bear to delete it, the old aunt’s poor memories of her youth! Once I picked it up, I didn’t want to put it down again. Please don’t give up! Please add a bookshelf, please pursue it for two more days, and please give me a chance.
