Chen Feng got up at almost 6:30 the next morning.
At this time, Guo Mengyao, who was sleeping on the same bed, was still sleeping soundly.
Chen Feng didn't wake her up. He got out of bed, got dressed, did some personal hygiene, and left the hotel room.
He had to rush home to have breakfast with his parents. Chen Feng had already sent a WeChat message to his mother in advance, saying that he wanted to eat glutinous rice.
Sure enough, when she got home, her mother Zhao Xiaolan had already prepared fragrant glutinous rice.
Eating glutinous rice and drinking seaweed and egg drop soup, Chen Feng felt indescribably comfortable. By the way, he also told his parents about the progress of the preparations for the jewelry store, and also told Yu Xiaohui about the next step of preparations on his behalf.
What's more, he is going back to Xiuzhou today, and will have to come back next month at the earliest. By then, the preparations for the jewelry store will be almost completed, and he just needs to get back before it opens.
Zhao Xiaolan didn't nag her any more this time, she just asked Chen Feng to get along well with Wu Mengting after returning to Xiuzhou, and then it would be best for them to come back together next time.
Of course Chen Feng said yes. We will see the details at that time.
After breakfast, my parents went to work diligently.
Chen Feng looked at the remaining glutinous rice, and with a rare conscience, he packed two portions and planned to take them to Yu Xiaohui and Guo Mengyao.
This kind of authentic glutinous rice with a lot of spices added at home is hard to find outside.
Although it is not expensive, it is a good idea.
After Chen Feng finished eating, packed his luggage, he drove to Yujing Hotel.
Before getting in the car, Chen Feng looked at the time and saw that it was less than 7:30 in the morning. The two women might still be sleeping, so he did not send them a message in advance.
When he returned to the hotel, Chen Feng went to Yu Xiaohui's room first, only to see Guo Mengyao here. Both of them had already gotten up and were discussing today's recruitment interview.
"This glutinous rice is made by my mother. You all should try it."
Chen Feng gestured to the two of them with the two small plastic bags he was holding.
"Auntie made glutinous rice. I ate it last time at your house and I still remember it. Bring it to me."
Guo Mengyao said this as if Chen Feng had already met his parents, but her words were not a lie. Last time she did come to his house as a guest, but only as a classmate.
It was hard for Chen Feng to be serious with her at this moment.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaohui didn't seem to be affected by her words, and stood up with a smile on her face and took a plastic bag from Chen Feng's hand.
"It's a bit cold, so you can just eat it with hot water."
Neither of the two women felt there was anything wrong with what Chen Feng said as a straight man.
Originally, none of them were hypocritical people, especially Yu Xiaohui, who was born in a rural area. Her family background was average when she was a child, and she also suffered some hardships.
And Guo Mengyao is a manly woman, informal in many aspects.
Besides, this is the glutinous rice that Chen Feng specially brought to her (them) to eat, and it was made by Chen Feng’s mother herself. This kind of kindness is the most rare thing.
So, the two women didn't dislike it at all, so they each took the plastic bags and ate them with relish.
"Well, it's really delicious. The glutinous rice made by my aunt is really authentic. Such authentic glutinous rice is almost extinct on the market and can't be bought at all."
Guo Mengyao couldn't help but admire it while eating.
Yu Xiaohui also praised: "Auntie's cooking is very delicious. I will try to learn from her next time I have a chance. I like eating glutinous rice the most."
Guo Mengyao immediately said: "I also want to learn. When the time comes, we will learn from her together."
Yu Xiaohui smiled and did not answer.
Chen Feng's mother is going to be the deputy manager of a jewelry store. If nothing unexpected happens, she will have many opportunities to get in touch with him after this recruitment is over.
Yu Xiaohui is also confident that she will have a good relationship with Chen Feng's mother. Of course, it won't be too difficult to teach her how to make glutinous rice.
Chen Feng was afraid that they would choke, so he thoughtfully poured them each a cup of hot water.
The two women just ate boiled water and glutinous rice and ate them all, leaving nothing at all.
The three of them chatted for a while. Chen Feng looked at the time and said to them: "Then you can continue your work. I'm going to drive back to Xiuzhou."
When the two women heard this, they both looked at him with some reluctance and said nothing.
Chen Feng now has some experience in dealing with this kind of scene. He waved to them and said with a smile: "I will come back when I finish my work in Xiuzhou. I will let you know then. I'm leaving first."
After saying this, Chen Feng turned around and walked towards the door in a cool manner.
Seeing this, the two women got up and followed him.
Guo Mengyao asked from behind: "How long will it take for you to come back?"
Chen Feng didn't look back and replied casually: "It may take ten days and a half. Try to come back as early as possible."
Yu Xiaohui warned: "Be careful on the road and don't drive too fast."
"Well, I understand."
After reaching the door, Chen Feng turned to look at the two women and said, "Okay, don't send me away. I can go down by myself."
After saying that, Chen Feng opened the door and went out.
When the door was closed by Chen Feng, both women felt a little disappointed.
After a moment of silence, Guo Mengyao spoke first: "Do you think he really had something to do when he went back to Xiuzhou?"
Yu Xiaohui glanced at her, shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know about that."
Guo Mengyao said in a low tone: "I think he is in a hurry to go back, probably to meet Wu Mengting. Do you think he will dump us if he officially confirms his relationship with Wu Mengting?"
When Yu Xiaohui saw that a dignified female boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions was worrying about gains and losses like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she felt a little funny and at the same time couldn't help but sympathize with her.
Although Yu Xiaohui is more open-minded than her, she is actually not much better. After all, she really likes Chen Feng and has liked him since junior high school.
Although she knew that it was impossible for her and Chen Feng to achieve success, she still hoped to be with Chen Feng for a long time. If her relationship with Chen Feng was to end next month, Yu Xiaohui would definitely not let go.
But if Chen Feng really wanted to "break up" with her, she would force him again.
Obviously Guo Mengyao didn't want to "break up" with Chen Feng so easily, and she still had some unrealistic fantasies about herself and Chen Feng.
Yu Xiaohui sighed and comforted: "You should be more open-minded. Chen Feng is too good now. He is rich and single, and there are many beautiful women interested in him. Even if there is no Wu Mengting, there will be other women. The two of us
Someone who is married and has children is definitely not his wife."
Guo Mengyao said solemnly: "Now it's not about whether you can become his wife, but it's about not being his lover anymore. Are you willing to break up with Chen Feng next month?"
Yu Xiaohui smiled bitterly and said: "So what if you don't want to? If Wu Mengting really becomes Chen Feng's girlfriend, she certainly has the right to ask Chen Feng to break up with us. The main question now is whether Chen Feng himself is willing to break up with us. If he doesn't
If you like, of course we can still get along like this."
Guo Mengyao's beautiful eyes flashed and she sighed: "Yes, this matter mainly depends on Chen Feng himself. If he wants to continue dating us, even if he gets engaged and married in the future, it will not be a problem at all."
Yu Xiaohui frowned slightly and said: "He is not this kind of person. If he really gets engaged and married in the future, he will definitely break up with us."
Guo Mengyao said disapprovingly: "That's not necessarily true. How can a man not cheat?"
Yu Xiaohui didn't want to argue with her, so she changed the subject and said, "It's almost time. Let's discuss the details and division of labor, and then go to the conference room on the second floor to prepare."
Guo Mengyao also knew that the time was not right, so she had to endure it for the time being and discuss the recruitment arrangements with Yu Xiaohui.
Two people are responsible for interviewing and scoring together, and there are three applicants in a batch.
It may be done in one day today. If there is not enough time, we will add another day tomorrow, depending on the specific situation.
When Chen Feng's car was about to reach the highway intersection, Tian Xiaoman called him.
Chen Feng answered via Bluetooth and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My friend's decoration design drawings are out. Can you take a look at them now?"
"It's inconvenient, I'm driving and I'm on the highway."
"Ah, that's it. Are you going back to Xiuzhou?"
"Well, I have to go back."
"...When can you come back again?"
"Ten days and a half, I'll let you know when I get back."
"...Okay then, you can look at the decoration design later. I will send the picture to your authority first."
"Okay. Let's just say this first. I'll drive and you can hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Tian Xiaoman was secretly lost in thought for a while.
In fact, when she called Chen Feng this time, the villa decoration design was secondary. The main thing was to tell him about Wu Mengting calling her.
Of course she didn't know Wu Mengting before, but last night, Wu Mengting suddenly called her and said that she was Chen Feng's girlfriend and that she would be engaged to Chen Feng by the end of the year. She hoped that she would stop pestering Chen Feng, let alone hold anything against Chen Feng.
Unrealistic fantasy.
The tone in which Wu Mengting spoke to her on the phone was not very good, and she looked exactly like the condescending attitude of her original mistress.
Although she didn't insult her verbally, she felt quite uncomfortable after hearing it.
Tian Xiaoman wanted to retaliate, but he was not sure about the specific relationship between her and Chen Feng, and he couldn't say too harsh words to her. He could only endure his anger and listened to her for several minutes before finally hanging up the phone.
.
Because of that phone call, Tian Xiaoman didn't sleep well last night. When he woke up in the morning, he looked a little confused. After much hesitation, he still called Chen Feng.
"The Ronin Starting from Douluo"
But when it came to the end, she retreated a little.
In the final analysis, she was still worried that the answer Chen Feng gave her was not what she wanted.
Therefore, don’t talk to Chen Feng about this for the time being.
When he comes back to Lin Nan next time, she will talk to him face to face and ask him clearly.
She can accept that Chen Feng has other women now, but some cannot accept that he has an official girlfriend, let alone a fiancée.
Although she was very fond of Chen Feng, her golden son-in-law, she didn't necessarily have to marry him.
She is still young now, and she still has the most precious first time for a woman. She still has the capital to find another one.
But she would definitely not give up on Chen Feng unless she had to. After all, she had already invested her energy and time, and Chen Feng was the best in all aspects that she had encountered so far.
It would be difficult to find someone who is better than him or equivalent.
…
When Chen Feng returned to Xiuzhou, he was just in time to have lunch.
Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaoxin were waiting for him to come back and eat together.
The three of them hadn't seen each other for several days. When they met again, Chen Feng clearly felt that the atmosphere at home was a little different from before.
To be more specific, I feel that it is not as harmonious and natural as before, especially Sun Xiaoxin. When eating at the same table, I feel that her expression is a bit reserved.
The problem may lie with Chen Feng or Wu Mengting.
After lunch, the two women cleaned up the dishes together, and then Sun Xiaoxin consciously stayed in the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting went to the living room and sat down.
"Now we can talk openly and honestly, let me ask you, does your original promise still count?"
As soon as the two of them sat down, Wu Mengting stared at Chen Feng eagerly and asked.
"It's definitely a matter of course, but I told you before, you have to give me time to slowly break off relationships with other women."
Wu Mengting said with a straight face: "I can give you two months to cut off all women except Xiaoxin. Until you marry me, you can cut off ties with Xiaoxin. Is that okay?"
This is my biggest concession."
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "This is definitely not possible. I have feelings for several other women. You asked me to cut off the relationship with them all at once. Even if I agree to you now, it will definitely be a lie, and there will definitely be others behind my back.
They contact each other. This is inevitable."
Chen Feng's words showed his true nature as a scumbag, Wu Mengting gritted her teeth secretly, but she thought that he was still suffering from a terminal illness, so she could only endure it. After secretly taking a deep breath, she said: "Then you mean to wait until after we get married.
Cut off ties with them again?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, when we get married in two years, I will definitely have slowly severed ties with them."
"Two years is too long. Neither I nor our parents will agree. I will give you another half a year at most. We will get married before May Day next year. Before that, you and them will take your time.
Is it okay to sever ties?"
This is really asking for an exorbitant amount of money and paying her back on the spot. She spent two years to half a year.
Chen Feng pretended to be hesitant and pondered for a while, then said: "Before National Day next year, if I am still alive by then, I can marry you."
Wu Mengting frowned and said dissatisfied: "Next year's National Day is too late. May Day is the longest period I can accept. Don't bargain like this again. Is it wrong for you to marry me earlier?"
Chen Feng secretly sighed. He has become wild now and his heart has wandered away. He really doesn't want to be bound by the bridle of marriage so soon. He is very accustomed to and likes his current living situation and really doesn't want to change it.
"I'll think about it again, please give me some time."
Chen Feng did not agree rashly this time, let alone make any promises to her.
Last time, he was too soft-hearted.
If you want to live freely and not be bound by marriage, you often have to harden your heart.
"I've given you so much time, how long do you want to delay?" Wu Mengting's face was full of grievances, and tears appeared in her eyes.
"Meng Ting, don't be like this." Chen Feng sighed and said, "I know you are a good woman. It would be a blessing for me to marry you in eight lifetimes, but I really don't want to hurt you. Besides, I am used to it now.
I want to live a free life and don’t want to be bound by marriage again. Please give me more time, okay?"
