Lu Yang stared at the young woman whose expression quickly changed from surprise to embarrassment, and his mind also turned around.
Not long after Liao Li graduated from university, her only two employers besides her mother were Wang Ming.
Is this young woman Wang Ming’s wife?
So who is this old man in his fifties?
"You...you are?...are?"
The young woman's expression was uncertain. She frowned and thought for a long time, but she couldn't match the beautiful city girl in front of her with who she was in her memory. She had no husband, straight black hair, and a fair face that didn't even use lipstick, making her look even more delicate and lovely.
, she was wearing the red and blue plaid woolen coat from New Era Department Store that the young woman wanted to buy that had just sold out, and the bottom was washed light blue jeans, paired with brown high-heeled leather boots and a one-shoulder leather bag, which looked like the one on TV
Fresh European and American college temperament.
No wonder that as soon as the girl came in, she not only attracted the attention of most of the men in Lao Xichuan, but even the old man beside the young woman quietly stepped forward to stand side by side with her.
The girl was holding a few paper bags in her hands. Looking at the trademarks, she knew they were products unique to New Era Department Store. It was impossible to get them for less than a thousand yuan.
The young woman was filled with envy and jealousy, especially when she noticed the smiling face of the old man next to her, which made her feel even better.
"Sister Le, I'm Xiao Liao, long time no see."
The girl put all the paper bags in her hands on the table, smiled and replied generously, but as she finished speaking, she quietly glanced at the old man who was in an intimate posture beside the young woman.
"Are you Liao...Liao Li?"
The young woman's eyes widened. She could not match the beautiful and compelling girl in front of her with the name in her memory.
How could that female college student who had just graduated look like this?
"Well, it's me. By the way, this is the son of the boss of my new company. Is there any misunderstanding among you?"
As a designer, Liao Li needs to communicate with different clients. At this time, she speaks in a capable and confident manner, but there is no less doubt in her eyes.
The young woman in front of her is named Le Xiaoping. She is the wife of Liao Li's former boss Wang Ming. She has met her several times in the company before.
Le Xiaoping is not yet forty. She likes to dress up and loves mahjong. She only comes to the company to ask for money from Wang Ming, and she has no intention of getting close to employees like Liao Li.
Liao Li was depressed and taciturn when she was in Wang Ming's company. She didn't know much about Le Xiaoping. She only knew that she was not her original wife, but she had been married to Wang Ming for ten years because she had a son who had never given birth.
.
What's going on with the old man in front of Le Xiaoping who looks so affectionate?
Since coming to Zhifen Decoration, Liao Li has been busy with work and study. Although her income has soared, she doesn't have much time to contact her past friends. For example, Wang Ming, who is not close to her, certainly has no time to reminisce about the past. She really doesn't know him.
How's it going?
"Oh, it's just a little misunderstanding, it's not a big deal, handsome boy, right?"
Le Xiaoping didn't say anything, but the old man stood up and spoke. He spoke Mandarin with a very Taiwanese flavor, and you could tell where he came from as soon as you heard it.
"Sister Liao, they want to grab this table, but we came and sat down at five o'clock."
At this time, Lu Yang deliberately complained to Liao Li with a depressed look on his face. His funny look made both the princess and Jiang Ling laugh.
"Haha, what this kid is talking about is really interesting. It's not that he's trying to steal it, but he's too impatient because he doesn't have the chance to enjoy the delicious food of Lao Xichuan!"
The old man had obviously experienced many scenes and immediately relaxed the atmosphere with laughter.
"Are there just three of you? Let's sit together. I'm treating you today, little sister..."
As the old man spoke, he secretly pulled Le Xiaoping, who was still holding on with a bad expression.
"No need, we can still afford one meal."
Lu Yang declined. He had no interest in eating with such a person, and he had lost his appetite.
"Oh, the handsome guy is still angry. Don't be angry. My wife just bought clothes and she ran out of stock, so she is in a bad mood. Can I apologize to you?"
The old man kept his posture very low. Seeing that the little boy's expression was still cold, he smiled and turned to the two little girls.
"You two beauties, would you like me to have the honor of treating you to a meal?"
The old man was dressed very gentlemanly. The princess and Jiang Ling saw that the other party was polite and polite, but they were embarrassed to keep a straight face. They both looked at Lu Yang with pleading eyes. With Liao Li making peace on the side, he had no choice but to give in and agree with the other party.
table.
After sitting down, the old man first asked the waiter to serve the food, and then he pushed Le Xiaoping.
Le Xiaoping reluctantly introduced each other with a face, saying that the old man's name was Zhang Renhai, a Taiwanese businessman who came to Chongshan to invest and do business.
As Lu Yang expected, Le Xiaoping seemed to have forgotten what Liao Li had blurted out about the boss lady before. He introduced her as a friend he had known before, but did not explain the details clearly.
"Hey, Shannan Yinzhen, this tea is good, Shannan is a good place, little handsome boy, where are you from?"
Zhang Renhai didn't ask any further questions. He knew the secrets of social interaction and kept smiling so as not to slap anyone in the face.
"We are all from Chongshan."
Lu Yang smiled slightly and laughed. He didn't like this Taiwanese compatriot's wrinkled eyes, which were too cloudy.
"Oh, haha, I admire Chongshan's noble character."
Zhang Renhai wasn't angry either. He was still smiling. After the waiter started serving the dishes, he started talking again.
It was obvious that he had put in some effort before coming here. Zhang Renhai was familiar with Lao Xichuan's signature dishes. Every dish he served had some allusions to the mountains, and there was never a moment of silence.
Lu Yang had no interest in socializing with such an old cunning guy. He ate hard regardless of his appearance, which naturally attracted the attention of the princess and Jiang Ling, who alternately brought him food and drinks.
"Miss Liao, where do you think you are high up? Looking at your outfit, you look very elegant."
Zhang Renhai was very good at cultivating his Qi. Seeing that the boy was not getting any better, he stopped being attentive and directly asked about things he was interested in.
"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. I work at Lu Yang's mother's place."
Liao Li is no longer innocent now, she is cautious and does not reveal too much.
"Well, judging from Miss Liao's dress, you should be in a very artistic industry."
Zhang Renhai was not in a hurry and continued to chat while eating.
"Art is out of the question. Our company is engaged in decoration, and I do design there."
Seeing that Zhang Renhai was being polite, Liao Li couldn't help but reveal a few things.
"The decoration is good. Construction in Chongshan is in full swing now. Ms. Liao's career will have a bright future."
Zhang Renhai smiled and praised, but he didn't sound like a fool in his words.
"Liao Li, you have a lot of income now, why do you buy such expensive clothes? These seem to be from Xiangjiang."
Le Xiaoping endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking sourly. Of course her concerns were different from Zhang Renhai's.
After trying hard to recall just now, Le Xiaoping finally remembered Liao Li's appearance in her memory, but the clearer the appearance became, the more she wondered why this person had changed so much now.
Thinking about it, it had only been a few months since Liao Li left her job. According to her wishes, she was still working, and she was actually more willing to spend money on clothes than herself.
Facing Liao Li, whom she had not taken seriously before, Le Xiaoping felt really uneasy.
"The income is not bad. I saved up two months' salary to buy some. Sister Le, you only have one piece of clothing for me when you play cards all night."
Liao Li quickly spoke politely. She knew that Le Xiaoping liked to play cards, and the stakes were very high. She had won or lost hundreds of dollars in one night.
After finishing speaking, Liao Li glanced at Lu Yang out of nowhere and found that the other person was chewing on a bone and looking at her with a smile. She knew that her jealous thoughts had been seen through, and she couldn't help but blush.
Liao Li worked hard during this period. Although there was no sign of Lu Yang's prediction of stepping down on Xiao Bo, her income far exceeded her imagination.
The development of Zhifen Decoration shocked Liao Li even more. The business volume and gross profit were several times higher than those of Wang Mingna Company.
If things continue like this, maybe Lu Yang's prediction will become possible?
With this thought in Liao Li's mind, the wound gradually healed. Now she has regained some of her girlish nature and started to pay attention to dressing up.
The Lu Yang family are kind-hearted, and they are very close to Liao Li after getting to know each other, especially Wei Zhixiu, who has a very good relationship with her because of their roommate relationship.
But as sisters, Liao Li found that it was a bit annoying for the other party to change new clothes every week. Especially when she knew that the other party wore brand-name products from New Era Department Store that Lu Yang made excuses to buy, she was even more jealous.
Although Liao Li's income has exceeded four digits and she usually spends very little, it is still difficult to buy clothes from New Era Department Store, so she can only choose to buy them at discounts.
Liao Li spent two months of her salary today to buy some of her favorite items in Wei Zhixiu's wardrobe. For example, the red and blue plaid woolen coat that she liked the most and put on as soon as she bought it. She already bought it.
The last thing.
Seeing Lu Yang's penetrating gaze, Liao Li knew that the little monster had noticed it. Thinking that her thoughts and ugliness had been seen by the other party, she couldn't help but blush even more.
"You are capable. No wonder the king... has many people trapping you."
Le Xiaoping originally wanted to say that she couldn't keep him, but she almost let it slip. She realized that she felt uncomfortable staying there, and kept urging Zhang Renhai to leave.
"Ms. Liao, this is my business card. If you need anything, just come to me. Little sister, pay the bill!"
Zhang Renhai handed it over casually and then snapped his fingers. The waiter came over and said that Lu Yang had already paid for it just now.
"Ah, why are you so embarrassed? I agreed to invite you."
Zhang Renhai looked at the boy in front of him in slight surprise. He didn't expect that the boy who had said he wanted to go out for some fresh air was going to pay the bill instead.
"Mr. Zhang, you are a guest. We, the landlords, can still afford a meal."
Lu Yang stabbed with a smile, Le Xiaoping's face fell, and she pulled Zhang Renhai, who still wanted to say a few words, and left angrily.
"This man turns out to be Tairen's boss."
When they got outside, Liao Li looked at the business card and said in shock.
"Sister Liao Li, what is Tairen?"
The princess pulled Jiang Ling. The atmosphere was not so oppressive at this time. She boldly approached and asked if she should get closer to this unfamiliar sister.
"It's a Taiwan-funded mold factory in Shannan Development Zone."
Lu Yang took over the topic.
"Well, there are quite a few Taiwanese bosses in the development zone, but they don't usually come to Xinjiang, so we rarely see them."
Liao Li explained with a smile.
"Sister Liao, who is that woman? What did you say about the boss lady before?"
Back in the car in the parking lot, Lu Yang saw that there was no one around, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Then Le Xiaoping is Wang Ming's wife. I don't know what happened, but now she is openly having sex with an old man from Taiwan."
Liao Li frowned after saying that. She wondered when driving on the road, the lights near the monument on Central District Street at eight o'clock were still bright, so she needed to go around the turntable to the direction of the jade lantern.
"Stop for me!"
With a shout, the three people chatting in front appeared at the intersection. Lu Yang looked at the three familiar figures and inevitably started to gossip in his heart.
