Tian Yulan's biological father died of illness very early, and she was raised slowly by relying on her mother as a caregiver.
Because she grew up in a single-parent family, Tian Yulan was pretty since she was a girl, but she was often bullied in school.
After a long period of exploration, Tian Yulan gradually summarized the two modes of getting along with others.
One is that when faced with invincible power, such as teachers, elders, leaders, etc., she will be particularly obedient, showing her softest side and showing her harmlessness.
The other is that when she faces someone who may be harmed, such as classmates who are jockeying for seats in class, colleagues who are lazy and playful in the company, etc., she will show her teeth and claws to protect her own interests from being infringed upon by others.
Now, neither of these two models seem to apply to blind dates.
Therefore, Tian Yulan is also quietly testing the relationship between the two.
Su Mingzhe didn't know this.
He just felt that the Tian Yulan in front of him was quite interesting, and seemed to be well-behaved and interesting.
The two chatted casually for a few words, and then received a message from their friend ‘Lao Jin’:
"The meeting is at eight o'clock, everyone should be there on time."
"It's past six o'clock now, there's still more than an hour left."
Su Mingzhe looked at Tian Yulan, who was still pretending to be good, and said with a smile: "It's still early, staying at home is quite boring, why don't we two go shopping first?"
"OK."
Tian Yulan did not refuse the man's proposal.
Just like before, she refused any of Su Mingzhe's proposals.
In fact, there are many interesting things for two people to do when staying at home.
But Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan don't have much in common, so they feel a little boring.
The two arrived at the underground garage, and Su Mingzhe drove a Mercedes this time.
Tian Yulan looked at the dozen or so sports cars of various types parked in the man's garage, then looked at the relatively inconspicuous Daben, and asked with some surprise:
"Why don't you drive a sports car?"
"Today is a gathering of friends. Why are you driving a sports car instead of going out to flirt with girls?"
Su Mingzhe's words left Tian Yulan speechless.
But this is indeed the truth.
Traveling in a sports car is actually very inconvenient.
For example, the Lamborghini next to the Daben.
Lamborghini's model, just like its logo, is shaped like a bull's head.
Of course, some people say they look like dung beetles, but they look pretty cool anyway.
This Blue Bikini's chassis is a bit low. When traveling, if you encounter a slightly steep broken road, you won't be able to pass it.
Not only that, sometimes, when encountering a speed bump that is a bit high, a sports car with a low floor will get stuck there and can only be pushed over.
Guo Xiaopeng once said in "Black Ice": "There are three most embarrassing things for men: shaking their watches, pushing cars, and throwing pens."
People who have not experienced it cannot understand it.
After hearing the man's explanation, Tian Yulan became a little silent.
Su Mingzhe drove his Mercedes and took Tian Yulan to the parking lot near Lao Li's BBQ.
It is close to Jing'an Park, and there are many places to eat, drink and have fun nearby.
Su Mingzhe was familiar with the roads and took Tian Yulan for a stroll in a nearby shopping mall.
The two of them walked around, and Su Mingzhe casually bought Tian Yulan the latest Nokia 7610.
"There's nothing good about this phone, so let's use it first. You work in a mall now, right? Clothes are very important..."
Su Mingzhe obviously disdained the 2005 mobile phones. He took Tian Yulan for a walk and then took her out of the electronic products area and into the clothing area.
Tian Yulan didn't say no or refuse.
The two are now on a blind date, and it is normal for a man to buy some gifts for a woman.
The difference is that when ordinary people buy things, they can only buy a few hundred yuan at most, and a thousand yuan is almost enough.
The gifts Su Mingzhe bought for Tian Yulan included several thousand yuan for mobile phones, several thousand yuan for clothes, and several thousand yuan for cosmetics.
After the two of them walked around, they had seven or eight more mobile phones and handbags.
Su Mingzhe originally wanted to buy Tian Yulan a bag, but he ran out of time.
"Let's wait until you get off work tomorrow and we'll come back."
"Um."
Tian Yulan still did not refuse.
She was really very well-behaved today. She never rejected a man once.
Then, with only ten minutes left before the party, the two came to Lao Li's BBQ.
Lao Li Barbecue is an open-air roadside barbecue, with a rectangular table that can seat up to six people.
Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan arrived first, put their things in the car, and started ordering.
When my friends Lao Jin and Yan Peng came over, the table was immediately filled.
"This is my sister-in-law."
Lao Jin was today's host. He smiled and stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Tian Yulan.
"Get out!"
Su Mingzhe slapped his hand aside angrily: "This is my girlfriend, so don't get close to her like you did in the nightclub."
"No, no."
Lao Jin sat down with a smile, and then introduced himself: "Sister-in-law, my name is Jin Dongxi, just call me Lao Jin."
"My name is Yan Peng, you can call me Lao Yan or Dapeng."
Unlike the shameless Lao Jin, Yan Peng was a little shy, but this guy actually reached out and wanted to shake hands.
Su Mingzhe glared at this kid. Don't think that because we have a good relationship, you dare to take advantage of him so obviously.
Tian Yulan finally sat down.
In addition to Su Mingzhe, Yan Peng, and Jin Dongxi, there was also someone named Xia Yuan and another named Zhao Zhenkai at the table. They were all friends of Su Mingzhe and had similar family backgrounds.
Jin Dongxi started his career as a decorator, but now he is involved in all walks of life and is worth billions.
Yan Peng's family used to be a contractor. Later, Yan's father opened a processing factory and several shops in the city. He was worth more than one billion yuan.
Xia Yuan's family is in the logistics business. They have a logistics park in Shanghai and are worth at least one billion.
Zhao Zhenkai's family makes mahogany furniture. They have their own mahogany furniture factory in Haimen in the north, and their net worth is almost over one billion.
Su Mingzhe introduced his buddies to Tian Yulan.
Everyone has been able to play together since childhood, basically because their family conditions are similar, so they can play together.
If any company's business exceeds that of others, or lags behind others, it will naturally gradually fade out of this circle.
It’s not that everyone will exclude anyone, or that the world is in trouble or anything like that.
But if everyone is on the same level, getting along will be more pleasant.
Having said that, it’s back.
Su Mingzhe is having a good time with these four boys now.
But ten years later, he became the richest man in the world, and his net worth surpassed these four people a hundred times a thousand times.
How could these four little ones have the nerve to eat, drink and have fun with them every day?
This is the warmth and warmth of human relationships, a natural phenomenon in society.
After a small barbecue, the other four people had to go to the next one.
Su Mingzhe will not go.
It's been a long time since he went to nightclubs and bars to pick up girls.
After sending Tian Yulan home, Su Mingzhe also went home to rest.
the next day.
Tian Yulan will go to the mall to work today.
Su Mingzhe stayed at home and started busy with his own affairs.
In the last world, I had been busy studying medical skills, and my research on 'programmer' skills had come to a standstill.
This world needs to be picked up.
It's time for Tian Yulan to rest again.
Su Mingzhe took Tian Yulan back to Nan Jianlong's house. This was his first visit to the 'Yue family' after a successful blind date.
I don’t know if Nan Jianlong is out of his mind.
She knew clearly that Nan Li didn't like Tian Yulan and her daughter, and knew that Su Mingzhe had been pursuing Nan Li for several years.
When Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan confirmed their relationship, they even called Nan Li over.
What does this mean?
Su Mingzhe looked at Nan Jianlong smiling and offering him food and drinks, and endless resentment rose in his heart:
"Old Nan, you didn't do things right this time, you can't blame me."
Nan Li didn't know yet that she had been tricked by her own father.
After the family dinner, everyone began to busy themselves with their own things.
It’s the second week.
When Su Mingzhe and Tian Yulan were on a blind date for half a month, they lived together.
In the blink of an eye, July passed.
Mid-August is coming.
On this day, Su Mingzhe took Tian Yulan home.
Today is my little sister Su Qing’s birthday.
Su Mingzhe's father can be regarded as having a daughter in his old age. He only had such a daughter when he was nearly forty years old, so he naturally loved her very much.
As Su Qing's biological mother, Nan Lan usually invites her relatives over to celebrate her daughter's birthday.
When Su Mingzhe brought Tian Yulan home, the house was almost decorated. There were all kinds of pink balloons, fluorescent lights, colored paper flowers, etc. everywhere.
Su Qing, a little girl with sharp eyes, jumped over when she heard the door open: "Brother is back."
"Little sister!"
Su Mingzhe hugged his half-sister and kissed her little face.
Tian Yulan is not considered an outsider, she knows both Nan Lan and Su Qing.
"Aunt Lan, isn't my dad at home?"
Su Mingzhe carried his little sister to the living room and found that his father Su Quanfang was not there.
"Your dad said you might get off work late today."
Although Nan Lan is Nan Jianlong's cousin, she is not very old. She has been married to her for ten years and is only thirty-two years old this year.
Nan Lan didn't chat much with Su Mingzhe on weekdays, but today Tian Yulan was here, so she simply pulled this 'cheap niece' aside and started chatting.
Su Mingzhe hugged his little sister and started chatting with brother and sister.
Su Qing stared at her big black eyes and curiously asked her elder brother:
"Brother, mother said that you and Sister Lan are in love, and I will call you Sister Lan and sister-in-law from now on. Is it true?"
"It's true."
Su Mingzhe nodded.
Su Qing's little face immediately showed a look of 'contempt':
"Brother, you said before that you would marry 'Sister Li' as your wife, and you asked me to call her sister-in-law."
"You can't blame me, it's your sister Li who doesn't agree. I can't bring your sister Li back and make her your sister-in-law, right?"
Su Mingzhe expressed his helplessness, but he was silently calculating in his heart.
I tied a red thread of lovesickness to Nan Li. It has been more than half a month now, and I don’t know how many more days it will take before things are done.
