Although the port city is a coastal city, it is also very hot and scary in October. There has not been a drop of rain for half a month. The asphalt road is full of noisy dust. The high temperature on the ground makes it look vaguely distorted.
space
However, it rained that day, and several cannon shots rang out in the remote wilderness of the port city. It was artificial rainfall.
The raindrops slid down the glass and were eventually stained with dust. Qianmo looked out the window at the crowds of people running to hide from the rain. He was playing with the pendant he had bought at Liu Hai's charity auction four days ago, but his thoughts were no longer outside the glass or inside the pendant.
Ten million took a picture of something. Naturally, it was the day Li Qi returned from reimbursement. Li Qi did not ask Qianmo what exactly he bought for ten million.
Qian Mo remembered that Li Qi was watching a boring soap opera with a smile that day, but when he handed the pendant to her, Li Qi's face changed, and there was redness in his eyes, but he held it back and showed a look that he thought was calm.
With a smile, she said she didn’t like this thing, but she held the pendant in her hand and caressed it for a long time. It felt like a lover!
After caressing her for a long time, she excused herself to take a shower and returned the pendant to Qian Mo. From beginning to end, Qian Mo didn't say a word because, just a second before Li Qi turned around, he saw her falling tears.
Qian Mo looked at the sudden artificial rainfall without any warning, and sighed and shook his head: Is it raining? It’s just rain in my heart!
"Ring, ring, ring" Suddenly, a pleasant ringtone rang. Qian Mo stopped playing with the pendant. He took out his cell phone from his belt, saw the caller clearly, and then answered the call.
"Hello, I'm Qian Mo"
“Fuck, you’re not Qian Mo and I’m not calling you yet.”
The opening remarks of the two old classmates had their own distinctive characteristics. Qian Mo was quite helpless at Guo Ling's foul language. This guy seemed to have had an innate bit of scoundrel since he was a child.
"Okay, Guo Ling, what's the matter?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with me. I just saw that the weather is better today and I'd like to invite you out for afternoon tea!"
It's raining now, and it's still half past ten in the morning...
Therefore, Qian Mo’s answer was only one word: “Get out!”
"Haha, just kidding, but I'm asking you to come out tonight."
"Where to go?"
"My family, my old man asked you to have a meal with me. I wonder if Qian Daqian is free?"
Ever since Qian Mo paid tens of millions for the pendant, Guo Ling has been teasing Qian Mo from time to time.
"Oh? Isn't Secretary Guo very busy? Are you so free tonight?"
What Qian Mo said shocked Guo Ling on the other end of the phone. He didn't mention his family affairs to Qian Mo, let alone who his father was, and he didn't see anything done by Qian Mo. He actually knew that Guo Huaxing was him.
Father? Guess? Or what? Guo Ling was stunned for a moment and actually forgot to reply.
Qian Mo, on the other hand, was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Guo Ling to answer his question.
After a while, a wry smile came from Guo Ling's side.
"You Qianmo, you know so many things, I thought you didn't know anything."
“Haha, it’s good for you to know more.”
There was a bit of silence, both ends of the phone were silent, only the sound of raindrops hitting the glass window could be heard.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you!" Guo Ling was very serious when she said this without a joking tone!
Qian Mo put the pendant in front of his eyes and shook it before finally grabbing it in his hand.
"I know"
.....
"Well, I'll go sit at your house tonight."
This was the last sentence Qian Mo said before hanging up the phone. Although he didn't know why Guo Huaxing invited him to his house, Qian Mo took the initiative to reveal Guo Ling's identity in order to take the initiative. As for Qian Mo's intelligence
, Weiwei holds on to the slim phone, he has his own channels!
...
Some people use low-cost housing to show that they are upright and honest officials who love the people, but there are also high-profile people who use high-end residential areas to criticize self-righteous people who have no shame because their money is earned openly and they don't care about those who hide and hide.
Guo Huaxing's home is on the edge of Hong Kong City. Although it does not have the bustling atmosphere of the center, it is also a suburb with an average population density. He likes quietness because his wife, who has passed away due to something, likes a peaceful life. She once said to Guo Huaxing: "
Let's live together in the countryside, raise smiling animals, and grow flowers and cauliflowers."
But many things can only be good in the past
Qian Mo got off the taxi and handed the driver 20 yuan. It was originally 19.6 yuan, but the driver didn't pay for the 40 cents because it was already an unspoken rule for taxis.
The car left slowly, Qian Mo shook his head, what he cared about was not the forty cents, but an attitude.
"Ding dong" walked to the address given by Guo Ling and Qian Mo pressed the doorbell. Originally, Guo Ling said that he would pick him up, but Qian Mo refused and the port city said it was a big deal. With his own ability, he gave it to him.
The address is not difficult to find.
Soon there was movement in the house. The door was opened. Qian Mo smiled when he saw the person picking him up. He saw Guo Ling wearing an apron around his waist and there were oil splashes on his face.
Quite embarrassed
"Hey, Xiao Mao!" Seeing Qian Mo's slightly upturned mouth, Guo Ling also knew that she didn't look good, so she wiped it twice on her face, making her face even more messy.
Qian Mo looked at this guy's casual appearance and felt the inexplicable familiarity from before: "Haha, this is not like you normally."
"I usually pretend to be cool." Guo Ling flat-mouthed and admitted generously: "I have to pretend to be more handsome when I go out. Although I am already very handsome, there is no limit to my handsomeness. Okay, let's not talk about my family.
It’s rare for an old man to have a lot of entertainment at home.”
As the secretary of the municipal party committee of a city, Guo Huaxing's family hired a nanny to take care of the daily housework, but today Guo Huaxing took the nanny's day off and started doing everything at home, from washing vegetables to cooking, with his son Guo Ling.
, Although Guo Ling was complaining, he was also very happy in his heart. Since he was sensible, his father has been very busy in his image and spends very little time with him. The number of times they have dinner together in a month can be counted on the palm of one hand.
Come out, let alone cook together
When Qian Mo walked into this house, it was not the gorgeousness shown from the outside, but a light classical style.
Guo Ling led Qian Mo to the living room and gave him a cup of light tea, then got into the kitchen. Qian Mo could clearly see the middle-aged man who had appeared in the ice cream shop through the small glass window.
Guo Huaxing was concentrating on frying vegetables in a wok when he saw Guo Ling trying to steal a bite of food while his father was not paying attention. However, he was discovered, and then an angry laugh and curse came from the kitchen.
Seeing this scene, Qian Mo smiled softly on his face and touched his tea cup. This feeling of home was really good, but it was a bit far away from him.
When Qian Mo's thoughts were flying far away, Guo Ling had already started to serve dishes to the dining table one after another. With his back to his father, Qian Mo's obvious specialty was to pick up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. He looked like he was a child.
The child got delicious food. For this reason, the smile on Qian Mo’s face did not fade away.
When Guo Huaxing tidied up his clothes and sat down at the dinner table, Qian Mo had already had two drinks with Guo Ling. Seeing his father coming, Guo Ling also smiled and filled up the wine glass in front of him: "Evening
If you come, you can punish yourself with two drinks."
"You're such a good boy, even my father will be punished." Although he said this, he glanced at the two boys and drank it all in one gulp. He filled it up for himself and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, uncle is a good drinker, but drinking too much is harmful to the body." Drinking on an empty stomach is the most harmful to the body. Qian Mo said after seeing Guo Huaxing drink two glasses of wine as soon as he came.
Although Guo Ling didn't say anything, he already picked up a large dish for his father and put it in front of him.
Guo Huaxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, you two guys are really considerate. I'm happy today. It's rare for us three gentlemen to sit here. Drinking will not affect anything."
Hearing what Guo Huaxing said, Qian Mo stopped saying anything and just smiled.
"Come, let's have a drink three times!"
.......
They drank a lot of wine, and there were more than a dozen empty wine bottles placed upside down under the table, but the three people on the table could not tell they were drunk at all. Guo Huaxing had to socialize, so his drinking capacity was naturally good, and Guo Ling used to be
There are a lot of invitations to the party sub-category, so drinking some wine is a no-brainer.
As for Qian Mo, beer is almost like boiled water to him. As long as he has a little restraint, it would be a lie to not get drunk after a thousand cups, but dozens of cups are still not a problem. Of course, he must go to the toilet a lot on the way.
Guo Huaxing raised his glass again and glanced at Qian Mo. From beginning to end, he drank wine with a faint smile on his face, but he never looked drunk. This made Guo Huaxing a little distressed. He originally wanted to wait for Qian Mo to show up.
It is also the habit of Chinese people to talk about things when they are slightly drunk. After all, the success rate of talking about things after drinking is higher.
But this young man couldn't figure it out. Behind his smile was indifference, as if he didn't care at all why he invited him to his home.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" After another drink, Qian Mo put down the wine glass that Guo Ling had filled for him and asked Guo Huaxing. He also saw Guo Huaxing's hesitation several times: "Haha, uncle, what's this?
I was very happy with the meal.”
I am very happy to eat! This is also Qian Mo’s explanation to Guo Huaxing, saying that he likes the atmosphere and the environment! It also means that if you have something to do, I will try my best to do it as long as I have the ability.
Guo Huaxing was stunned when he heard Qian Mo's sudden words. Although he had been in the world for a long time and thought about Qian Mo's meaning, the blush on his face became even more intense: "Uncle, I asked you to call you Xiao Mo."
"That's right." Qian Mo nodded. Guo Huaxing is the father of his old classmate. She calls him uncle. It's right for him to call her Xiaomo.
"Haha, Xiaomo, I invite you to my house for a meal today. I also know that Xiaoling and you are old classmates. This kid is too naughty outside, but I would like you to look after him in the future." As he said this, Guo Huaxing even scratched him randomly.
Guo Ling's hair, but the latter wanted to hide but was forced by his father's majesty, so he didn't know how to move. Seeing his aggrieved look, Guo Huaxing laughed, but there was something called family affection in his eyes!
"Uncle is joking." Qian Mo knew that this was just a polite comment: "Guo Ling is an old classmate of mine, so he knows how to look at each other."
"Haha" Guo Huaxing also said haha. Seeing that Qian Mo's expression remained unchanged, he stopped chatting and went straight to the topic: "Actually, another reason why uncle invited you here today is that Jingkui Shopping City closed down some time ago.
Well, I would like to ask your opinion on this matter."
Qian Mo raised his eyebrows: "You should ask my aunt about this."
Seeing Qian Mo say this, Guo Huaxing also smiled bitterly in his heart. He remembered that he called his aunt Li Qi two days ago and chatted for nearly five minutes. Li Qi directly said after that, go ask Qian Mo! It's better now, Qian Mo
Then he asked Li Qi, these two people kicked the ball around, but they made themselves miserable as the municipal party committee secretary.
The closure of Jingkui means that the Hong Kong City lacks a sign to the outside world. Although it is not a symbolic building, people who come to the Hong Kong City will more or less go shopping in Jingkui. Now that it is closed, the number of tourists is bound to decline. This is also
The reason why Guo Huaxing is anxious is that there are many people in Hong Kong who are capable of rebuilding, but the piece of land that Jingkui is on is already in Li Qi's name. He hasn't heard anything from Li Qi for a long time. This is a good thing for him as the municipal party committee secretary.
Guo Huaxing was extremely anxious.
Seeing Guo Huaxing's forced smile, Qian Mo could roughly guess that he had hit a wall with his aunt, and Li Qi had brought this trouble to him.
After pondering for a moment, he glanced at his old classmate who was getting into things, and then continued: "I don't know much about this matter, but my aunt is actually already working on it, and it's still in the planning stage.
It may take some time before she reveals the specific plan.”
Is this called not knowing much? Guo Huaxing was startled after hearing this. He didn't expect that Li Qi was already making preparations. Hearing that she had made plans, he felt relieved in his heart. As long as Li Qi had already put effort into this matter,
Then it’s definitely done! But then he glanced at Qian Mo, and Li Qi didn’t expect to tell him so many things about work!
But if Li Qi knew that Qian Mo knew so much about this matter, he would definitely be shocked, because she did this in private and did not reveal anything to Qian Mo, but it is still in the planning stage. How did he know this?
, where is your confidentiality?!
"Haha, if that's the case, let's have a drink instead of talking about off-topic things. Look, we accidentally got involved in official business." Guo Huaxing was in a good mood when he saw the answer to this matter.
Hearing his father say this, Guo Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes. He accidentally brought it up. If he hadn't brought it up, his father would have been bitter after drinking the wine today.
Qian Mo smiled, this news was just for Guo Ling's sake, Qian Mo was nostalgic and remembered Guo Ling, his old classmate!
Wine can be courageous and intoxicating. Wine is a good way to build bridges between men. After another dozen drinks, Guo Ling was slightly drunk and chatted with Qian Mo, making fun of the little things in the past. Qian Mo was a
A good listener, right?
As for Guo Huaxing, he listened to the two juniors chatting with a smile. Perhaps he also thought of his old classmates, but there are only a few of them he can contact now!
