Chapter 349 A friend comes from afar
“Jiang Chen, where are you? We are here, are you there? I didn’t see you.”
International Airport.
Fu Zili held his mobile phone in one hand and a simple luggage bag in the other, looking around.
Fang Qing stood next to him.
"Beep beep..."
The horn sounded.
The two of them followed the sound and saw a moon-white Paramela.
Fu Zili, who had his hair slicked back, was startled.
I must be thinking too much.
Just when he was about to look away, the door of the Paramela opened.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen walked down with his cell phone.
Fu Zili’s eyes were dull and fixed there.
Fang Qing also looked surprised.
One of them is young and promising, and the other is a top student at the University of Political Science and Law, so they naturally know what level of car the Padme is.
“Sudden attack?”
Jiang Chen, who came from school, approached and put away his phone at the same time, smiling from the bottom of his heart.
"We originally thought of giving you a surprise, but you gave us a surprise instead."
Fu Zili came back to his senses, looked at the Panamera, and marveled. At the same time, it’s also a bit unbelievable.
Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Fang Qing, "Beauty Fang, welcome to the East China Sea as a guest."
Fang Qing, with long hair, calmed down. Such a gentle beauty, but as soon as they met, she said in a very discreet way: "You have to pay me for the plane ticket. During the Chinese New Year, you promised .”
Jiang Chen couldn’t laugh or cry.
This girl has such a good memory, she remembers all her random words clearly.
"Sure, no problem, as long as you come to Donghai, all the expenses will be mine."
Jiang Chen's arrogance was so high that Fu Zili became even more incredible.
“Get in the car first.”
Jiang Chen took the luggage bag from Fang Qing’s hand.
Fu Zili naturally sat in the back row.
Fang Qing got into the passenger seat.
As soon as he got in the car, Fu Zili smelled a faint feminine fragrance.
"Jiang Chen, isn't this your car?"
"Yes."
As expected.
Just when Fu Zili was wondering if Jiang Chen had rented a car because of his dignity, he heard again: "It's my girlfriend's car."
Fu Zili was stunned again.
"You have a girlfriend?"
"Yes."
Jiang Chen responded nonchalantly, "Have you booked the hotel?"
Fu Zili's mind was a little confused and he subconsciously looked at Fang Qing. It turned out that there was nothing strange about him. He didn't seem to take the news to heart at all. He answered Jiang Chen's question quite calmly: "Not yet, is there anything better?" What hotel do you recommend? Of course, it has to be cost-effective. If it’s too expensive, let’s go to Bulgari. The Bund is right downstairs. The view is pretty good. “
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and came.
Last year’s charity dinner was held at Bulgari, and the environment was nothing special.
"You are really good at recommending. Bulgari costs thousands a night. Do you think I can afford it?"
Fang Qing rolled her eyes at him.
"You come to the East China Sea as guests, why do you need to pay for it? I said, it's all mine."
Jiang Chen understated his domineering attitude.
Fu Zili now has a clue.
"Jiang Chen, you found a rich woman..."
Jiang Chen smiled hoarsely and did not defend himself.
This kind of thing is common for Fu Zili, who has been struggling in society. It is not surprising that he is attracted by a rich woman because of his young appearance.
This year.
As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter what you do.
But as a college student from a prestigious university, isn’t it a pity to choose to take this shortcut?
Although he did not receive a high level of education, Fu Zili still respected knowledge itself.
Fang Qing saw through the rearview mirror that he was hesitant to speak.
"I have met Jiang Chen's girlfriend. She is quite beautiful. I didn't expect that she is so rich. She is so lucky."
"Have you seen her?"
Fu Zili, who had already instinctively sketched out the image of a rich, rich, bejeweled and plump woman in his mind, was caught off guard, "When did you meet me? Why didn't I know?"
"During the Chinese New Year, the photos I saw were of him. "School girl."
Fang Qing explained, then tilted her head, "Why do you want us to meet your Bai Fumei girlfriend?"
"Let's talk about it later."
I didn't mean to avoid it, but after all, we don't know each other yet, and it would be a little awkward for the boys to bring Li Shurui with them for the first time in the East China Sea.
These words were said by Li Shurui herself.
When he came to pick up the plane, he invited Li Shurui to come with him, but Li Shurui refused.
"Jiang Chen, you hid it deep enough. You actually only told Fang Qing and hid it from us. No wonder you said that big cities have many opportunities. This is true."
Fu Zili sigh.
“Why don’t you call Tie Jun together?”
Jiang Chen asked.
"Fang Qing and I are from Kyoto. I went to Kyoto on a business trip. It happened that the boss said that Donghai also needed a trip. I thought I could come and see you on the way, so I took Fang Qing with me. "
Fu Zili said: "Fang Qing is very busy. If it weren't for you, most people wouldn't be able to call her."
Jiang Chen drove and turned around, "I'm really flattered."
"It's good to know."
Fang Qing said lightly: "It's best to serve them with good food and drink, otherwise next time I’m not coming.”
Jiang Chen and Fu Zili both laughed.
The corners of Fang Qing's mouth also curved.
"I'll do it."
"In Shacheng, it's your invitation. When we get to the East China Sea, it's my turn to be the host."
Bulgari Hotel.
Jiang Chen booked a business suite and a luxury suite for the two of them respectively.
“It’s so corrupt. One night is almost worth my year’s tuition.”
Entering the elevator, Fang Qing muttered.
“Beautiful Fang, I’ll treat you with the best, but you won’t even get a single word of kindness, right?”
Not to mention Fang Qing, even Fu Zili felt it was too much. Too wasteful.
If it were him, he wouldn't open such a luxurious suite.
“You can stay as long as you want, my card has already been charged.”
Looking at Jiang Chen, who spoke in a sparse and ordinary tone, Fu Zili felt that he almost didn’t recognize this young boy. .
"I'll send her back to the room first."
Fu Zili's business suit was on the upper floor, and Jiang Chen and Fang Qing got out of the elevator first.
"This time is really not in vain. This is the first time I have stayed in such a good room."
Pushing open the door, Fang Qing exhaled slowly.
As a background that often appears in the circle of "socialites", it goes without saying that Bulgari's high-end environment goes without saying. Every detail in the room exudes the high-end quality of the upper class. Even the toiletries are all top-notch in the world. luxury brands.
It is said that many people take these things away when they stay in hotels.
From the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, you can enjoy the magnificent Pujiang River and the rows of high-rise buildings, creating a condescending feeling overlooking the city.
"Then you should come more often in the future."
Jiang Chen closed the door.
"Even if someone has money, you can't squander it like this. Be careful if they kick you someday."
Fang Qing half reminded, half ridiculed.
“Don’t worry about this, with my charm, this situation will never happen.”
Jiang Chen is awesome and coaxing.
"Put the bag in your room for you?"
"Yeah."
Fang Qing nodded.
When Jiang Chen put away his luggage and came out, Fang Qing was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.
It was less than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was just right.
The Pujiang River is roaring.
The streets are busy with traffic.
From a bird's eye view, it looks like a vivid ukiyo-e.
"The style seen from this height is indeed different."
Fang Qing muttered softly.
Jiang Chen walked over.
"Did you suddenly feel that the room rate is not too expensive?"
"It's still expensive. After all, it's just a short visit."
Jiang Chen stood next to her and said: Looking at the scenery that ordinary people cannot appreciate.
"It's not your character to be sad for spring and autumn. Don't forget, you are the pride of our compound. You can't let down the fellow villagers."
Fang Qing smiled and said, He tilted his head, "When you said that, I suddenly felt so stressed."
"Don't be afraid, I will support you."
Jiang Chen meant what he said but didn't mean it.
But Fang Qing suddenly blushed inexplicably.
Jiang Chen saw it, but he didn’t know the reason, it was baffling.
“What’s wrong?”
"Nothing."
Fang Qing pretended to be natural and looked out the window, her blush slowly fading away.
About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"No wonder so many people are thinking of running to big cities. The gap between them and our Shacheng is not the smallest bit." Fu Zili was filled with emotion as he entered.
“So, we still need people like Mr. Fu to contribute more to the development of our hometown.”
Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Let’s eat. Go.”
Bvlgari Italian Restaurant.
Fu Zili, who is also considered the number one figure in Shacheng, arrived here, but he seemed a little embarrassed.
This is the gap in pattern.
At best, Fu Zili could barely be considered a nouveau riche, and probably not even a nouveau riche. In such a high-end place, it was inevitable that he would lack confidence.
In Shacheng, he is indeed the number one person. He dealt with a few local bullies at Tiejun's barbecue restaurant without any effort. But looking at the people dining in the restaurant at this time, which one is not higher than him?
In contrast, Jiang Chen, a poor boy from a poor family, was much calmer than him.
Fang Qing's performance is also remarkable. Even when he saw the exaggerated prices on the menu, he was not surprised.
Although I came from a small place, after spending several years in a place like the University of Political Science and Law, my vision and determination were naturally cultivated.
The seafood served during the Chinese New Year dinner seems expensive, but compared to this place, it pales into insignificance.
If Fang Weiguo and the others came over, they might doubt their lives.
"Jiang Chen, just eat whatever you want, don't order too much."
Even if you know that the other party has found Bai Fumei, it is not your own money after all.
If Jiang Chen himself becomes prosperous, he will definitely not be polite.
It's not like Fu Zili has never seen people who eat soft food.
It was not a very pleasant life.
Jiang Chen did not break the promise he made during the New Year, and almost spared no effort to entertain the two children.
But during the meal, there was an episode.
A lady at the table next to them complained about a dining guest not far away.
The reason for the complaint made Jiang Chen dumbfounded.
It turned out that just because she was wearing a pair of sandals, the socialite felt that she had lowered the standard of the entire restaurant, and she even asked the restaurant to kick her out.
Because the distance was not too far, and the lady’s voice was not too low due to her mood swings, Jiang Chen and the others could hear her quite clearly.
But it’s no wonder people are angry.
Compared to the guy wearing sandals, this socialite’s dress is completely different. I’m afraid she asked a professional makeup artist to do her makeup. Her dress is also quite gorgeous. Even if she goes to a dance, she probably won’t be able to wear it. question.
People come to dinner dressed up, but you just come with a pair of sandals that cost ten yuan a pair. How can you bear this?
Jiang Chen glanced at himself subconsciously. Fortunately, he was still well-organized, otherwise he might have been complained.
Fang Qing also looked over there.
Jiang Chen secretly laughed.
Her personality of loving to watch the fun has not changed at all since she was a child.
Like in TV dramas and novels where service staff look down on others, this rarely happens in reality.
Even if it happens, it will never be in a place like the Bulgari Restaurant.
A person who can work in a place like this, even a small waiter, has not gone through layers of professional training. How could he kick out a customer because of his or her dress?
Of course.
Some high-end places do have dress codes.
But that was before entering.
Let people in and then kick them out, unless you no longer want your reputation.
So the waiter flatly rejected the socialite’s unreasonable request and said something meaningful.
"That gentleman is a regular customer of our restaurant. If you feel uncomfortable, I can change your seat."
The lady's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
The word "regular customer" is enough to show the strength of the restaurant. Going to the Bvlgari restaurant is just like ordinary people going to the roadside stall to have skewers. It is just a daily routine, so there is not so much attention to it.
The more you care about something, the less you lack.
As a result, the socialite stopped and didn't ask to change seats. She didn't mind her own business anymore and continued to take pictures of the food on the table, the environment of the restaurant, and herself with her mobile phone.
Eat until sunset.
The starlight is gone.
Jiang Chen took Fang Qing and Fu Zili to stroll along the Bund.
There is a moat in Shacheng, which the locals call Ma River. It goes around the ancient city and is only a few minutes away from the Sanjian Courtyard. When they were young, they often played by the river.
Times have changed.
"It's a pity that the sightseeing boat needs to be booked a week in advance. Otherwise, I really want to get on it and experience it. The feeling should be different from rowing on the Ma River when we were children."
Fu Zili looked at the Pujiang River .
“How long do you plan to stay this time?”
Jiang Chen asked.
"It's not just about listening to the boss's arrangements. I came to Donghai this time to study. You don't have to worry about me. It's enough to arrange Fang Qing. My boss will come over tomorrow and Fang Qing will be left to you. "
"Yes."
Jiang Chen looked at Fang Qing, "Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to Dongda University and have a look."
Fang Qing smoothed her hair.
Jiang Chen was surprised and said with a smile: "My school is not comparable to the University of Political Science and Law. What is there to see? How about I take you to Disneyland?"
"What is so fun about Disneyland? They are all full of people. They are either queuing or on the way to queuing all day long. If you have this time, why not go to the library and read a book? "
Fang Qing is not interested.
Jiang Chen smiled hoarsely and suddenly felt that she and Xiaobai should have something in common.
"Jiang Chen, Fang Qing is different from ordinary girls. She is a talented girl, and she wants to go to your school, so just go with her."
Fu Zili smiled Then answer the call.
He likes Fang Qing, not because Fang Qing beats the pretty girl, but because she has an indescribable temperament.
Drop out of high school and join the society. Over the years, he has met many women, all kinds of women, some of them beautiful, but none of them can give him the feeling Fang Qing gave him.
But unfortunately, there will always be regrets in life.
"Okay, since Miss Fang has spoken, of course I have no objection. I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Why bother, I will take the subway myself."
Fang Qing is very polite.
Jiang Chen didn't see anyone else, and said calmly: "Okay, transfer from Line 6 to Line 1. If you don't know how to take the bus, give me a call."
"You two... ...Haha..."
Fu Zili was the first to hold back.
Afterwards Jiang Chen and Fang Qing also laughed.
————
“Why are you back so early?”
Spring and Autumn Washington.
Rooftop garden.
Li Shurui, who had heard the noise of the car downstairs for a long time, was still watering the green plants with a kettle.
This once cold and aloof art school beauty is really becoming more and more humane. Not only does she tend to the green plants herself, she even starts cooking.
The so-called goddess will eventually be pulled off the altar.
“Why don’t you stay there and sleep?”
Jiang Chen walked in.
"It's not impossible. We are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. We definitely have a lot to say. It wouldn't be strange to talk all night long."
Looking at the girl who was still watering the flowers, Jiang Chen Shishi Ran sat down on the wicker chair and said, "I told you that you won't go by yourself."
Li Shurui put down the kettle.
"I'm not jealous."
"Really?"
Li Shurui stood up straight and turned around, "Am I that stingy?"
"Of course not. "
Jiang Chen coughed lightly.
"By the way, Fang Qing said that she is going to Dongda University tomorrow. Can we pick her up together tomorrow morning?"
Coming from a long distance, it is naturally impossible for someone to take the subway.
Fang Qing is not the good girl she seems on the surface. If she turns around and complains to Uncle Fang and the others, she will not be able to clean herself up even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
This girl has done similar things before.
"I have to go to the dance studio tomorrow..."
Li Shurui looked troubled.
“Forget it.”
Jiang Chen didn’t force it.
Li Shurui put down the teapot and walked over and sat down next to her, "How about I treat her to dinner when I come back in the afternoon?"
"I don't know how long she will stay at Dongda. It depends on the situation. , It won’t work this time, there will always be opportunities in the future, don’t rush it.”
“That won’t work, people might think I’m avoiding her.”
Jiang Chen laughed dumbly. , "Follow me wherever you go."
"Anyway, I will come back as soon as possible."
Li Shurui tilted her head, "You have small hair, is it really beautiful?"
Jiang Chen smiled softly without much hesitation or hesitation.
"When we were young, we all felt that there should be no girl more beautiful than her."
Li Shurui did not ask stupid questions like whether I was beautiful or she was beautiful.
"That's quite a pity."
Jiang Chen subconsciously said: "What's a pity?"
"Like childhood sweethearts, they rarely get together."
Li Shurui said.
Jiang Chen finally understood and said with a smile: "Do you know why?"
"Why?"
He raised his head and looked at the moon.
“Is it possible for you to be with someone who knows you better than you know yourself?”
Li Shurui thought for a while, exhaled softly, and raised her head.
“It seems impossible.”
Bulgari Hotel.
Fang Qing stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly looking up at the same bright moon.
