At seven o'clock the next morning, Zhao Mingyang got up, and Zhang Zifeng also woke up.
It is said that a breakup is better than a new love. Zhang Zifeng is young after all, but Zhao Mingyang suffers.
At 7:50, Zhao Mingyang went out to the doorman to get takeout, and returned to Ito Eiko's place. Ito Eiko looked at Zhao Mingyang's tired face, which made Ito Eiko feel distressed. In order to give her a better life, he worked too hard and was too tired.
He worked too hard on himself, and would have to deal with things with just a phone call in the middle of the night. As he wrote in his diary, he wished he had forty-eight hours in a day, so that he could give Yingzi a better future faster. He did it all for Yingzi. Yingzi was very touched.
.
"Ming Yang, please have a good rest. You look very tired. I don't want you to feel so tired. Please stop working so hard, okay?" Ito Eiko looked at Zhao Mingyang and said with a distressed look on her face.
"I'm fine. I'm used to it. Besides, what can I do if I don't work hard now? You have to work hard while you're still young. When you get older, you want to take a break. Look at you guys over there.
People in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s and 80s are still working hard. I should work harder than them at such a young age so that I can fulfill my dream. Eat breakfast quickly. Don’t be cold. Are you going to Sioux City?" Zhao Mingyang
asked.
"Yes, I have to go to Sioux City to deal with some things this time." Ito Eiko said, feeling distressed in her heart. Fool, I know your dream is to buy me a sea view room in my parents' home.
We grow old together there, but you know what? I don’t want you to work so hard. I can give you a better life, but you are such a strong-backed person with high self-esteem. I’m afraid you will accept it.
Without what I have given you, I can only find ways to help you.
"I'll arrange a taxi to take you there soon, and I'll go there later. I have a meeting at noon, so I'll go there with you in the afternoon. You can also drive there in my car, but I'm afraid you're not familiar with the road, so you'd better take my car.
I feel at ease, little fool, don’t look at me like that, I’m not tired, really, I feel very fulfilled.” Zhao Mingyang took a sip of millet porridge and smiled at Ito Eiko.
Ito Eiko handed Zhao Mingyang a meat bun and said: "Okay, I understand, you are a superman and you won't be tired. You don't need to worry about me. I can do it by myself. You can do your job."
Zhao Mingyang nodded and said: "When I finish my work these days and I have time, I will take you to see the great rivers and mountains in China. I like that our Yingzi is so considerate and considerate. Unlike other girls, who are not considerate at all."
What can we do if we don’t struggle for the future when we are together every day?”
"I'm not as good as Mr. Mingyang said. I'm really looking forward to Mr. Mingyang taking me to see it." Ito Eiko was almost embarrassed by Zhao Mingyang's praise.
"I'm full. I'll go to the company first. I'll go find you after I finish it early. The driver will come to pick you up in a while. You wait for my call. When I get there, I'll ask you to go downstairs and tell you the license plate number."
Zhao Mingyang went out with a briefcase, went down to the basement, opened the door of the storage room, picked up the takeout and rode a balance bike straight to his little cousin.
Don't think that Zhao Mingyang is happy, he is really tired. Look, there are still two of them. Think about why those Neptunes in the news who have twenty or thirty girlfriends are hospitalized.
The body is broken, so don't be a Neptune. It's better to be a licking dog. You are only mentally tired but not physically tired.
Returning to his little cousin's house, Zhao Mingyang opened the door and changed his shoes and said, "I made a special trip to buy them near the school you went to school here before. This is your favorite breakfast restaurant that you mentioned to me before.
For breakfast, I packed your favorite breakfast set for you. Check if the taste has changed. Eat it quickly. I just ate it in the store.
I'm going to pack my luggage. I'm going on a business trip to Suzhou City later. Will you go with me?" Zhao Mingyang asked tentatively. Instead of his little cousin taking the initiative to speak, he might as well bring it up first so that no one would be suspicious.
"Okay, I haven't been there for a long time, and I'm going to meet a few classmates, some of whom are studying at Soochow University." Zhang Zifeng said.
"Then you go with me. I'm going over there to inspect the factory. I'll be leaving in a moment." Zhao Mingyang said, and then sent a message to Ito Eiko. The car is expected to arrive in ten minutes.
"You have to pay attention to rest. I will drive later. I drive by myself in R. I drive very steadily. I see that you are too tired. You are sweating. Didn't you do it last night?
Have a good rest. You worked overtime until three or four o'clock in the morning. You got up early this morning and went all the way to buy breakfast for me. Next time I will buy it or order takeout." Zhang Zifeng said.
"That won't work. I don't feel comfortable ordering takeout. I don't feel at ease when I don't see it. I have to personally check the food for you. Let me drive. The driving directions in China and R are different. If you drive suddenly, I'm afraid you won't
Habit." Zhao Mingyang was afraid that his little cousin would drive erratically and lose a lot of money if there was a car accident.
He is not afraid that his little cousin will find out that it is takeout, because Zhao Mingyang rewards the takeaways fifteen to twenty every time, and asks the takeaways not to deliver boxes that look like takeout, and not to use special takeout bags to pack the boxes, the kind that are packaged for dine-in meals.
Just do it, don’t have any sign of takeout, and make a note that it’s for the elderly at home, as the elderly reject takeout.
Therefore, the delivery staff will ask the boss to pack the food according to the dine-in order. After all, there is a reward of fifteen or twenty, and everything should be done according to Zhao Mingyang's instructions.
"It's okay. I've already known how to drive. I can drive with my driver's license before I arrive in China. You can sleep peacefully. I can drive very steadily. Just give me your destination." Zhang Zifeng said.
Zhao Mingyang was still a little scared, but he still let his little cousin drive. The two of them drove the red coupe to Sioux City. A female taxi driver drove Ito Eiko to Sioux City. Zhao Mingyang called the taxi driver specifically to make a reservation and note the female driver.
, Lao Wu also drove Zhao Mingyang’s big G to Su City,
The destination was to go to a famous hotel in Su City with Liu Bingbing for the first time. After making an online reservation, Zhao Mingyang added the boss's WeChat account, transferred money to him, and asked him to give him a large room. He also made a reservation at a nearby five-star hotel.
executive suite.
The destination is a B&B for Zhao Mingyang's cousin and a hotel for Ito Eiko. The distance between the two places is ten minutes' walk and five minutes' jog at most. It can't be too close. If it's too close, the chance of encountering them will be high.
Why did Zhao Mingyang urge Ito Eiko to go to Su City? Because when Zhao Mingyang and Ito Eiko drove home yesterday, they saw a familiar figure, Xu Qingqing's friend Su Xin, who had a strong background. Zhao Mingyang felt that an international company like Shencheng
In the city, it's easy to bump into acquaintances, so it's better to leave first.
Although Sioux City is very close to Shanghai, there is still a distance. Some areas are forty or fifty minutes away by car, and some are only twenty or thirty minutes away. Keep the distance to ensure safety.
At first, Zhao Mingyang was still worried about his little cousin driving, but after watching for a while, he found that she was indeed very proficient at driving. Apart from anything else, she was very familiar with the traffic jams. Zhao Mingyang was very suspicious that this girl might be able to drive before she got her driver's license.
And he drove secretly.
Her skills were like those of an experienced driver, and she drove really steadily, and the brakes were gentle and steady. With just a few clicks, Zhao Mingyang fell asleep peacefully, and he was really sleepy.
When he arrived at the place, Zhao Mingyang stretched out. It was so comfortable. This sleep made him feel that he had regained seventy percent of his power.
In the past, there was a joke that often appeared in movies, TV shows and TV series. People always talked about paying public taxes because they were afraid that their husbands would go out to steal.
At this moment, Zhao Mingyang understood what it meant to pay the public food and not steal it. It was because his body and bones couldn't bear it, and he was powerless.
When they arrived at the booked B&B, the boss enthusiastically helped Zhao Mingyang and the others carry their things. In fact, the boss had no impression of Zhao Mingyang at all. He received eight guests instead of ten in a day, and he probably saw thousands of customers in a year.
If you tell this kind of boss that you are a regular customer, especially if you have this type of customer, he will only say that he remembers you and will give you a preferential price, but in fact he will not remember you at all.
The last time the two met was more than two years ago, and it is impossible for the boss to remember Zhao Mingyang.
Except for two kinds of people, the boss will remember them deeply, either they are ugly and unique, or they are beautiful and will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
No, the boss even said in front of Zhao Mingyang that Liu Bingbing lived here. As soon as he said this, Zhao Mingyang smiled softly, because Liu Bingbing would never come here again in this life, and this place was a minefield, and
What the boss said was just to make customers feel that celebrities have stayed here, so that customers feel that they get great value for money.
"So who does Liu Bingbing live here with? Alone?" Zhao Mingyang asked pretending to be curious.
"Let me tell you, at that time she came here with a man, and they lived in a separate room, no
Do you know what the relationship between that man and him is?" the boss said mysteriously.
"A couple?" the little cousin asked curiously.
"I don't know, I don't dare to say nonsense." The boss had an expression on his face that you would understand.
"Is Liu Bingbing as good-looking as my girlfriend?" Zhao Mingyang hugged his little cousin and looked at the boss and asked. He was sure. This grandson only remembered Liu Bingbing's beauty and completely forgot what Zhao Mingyang looked like.
"They are not even close. In terms of appearance, your girlfriend is better looking. After all, she looks young and beautiful at first glance." The boss smiled.
Zhao Mingyang looked at him and smiled and said: "I think my girlfriend is the prettiest. Boss, you have a lot of customers here. You must have made a lot of money."
"Business is not bad. After all, the location is good, the location is great, and the environment is great. I'm not bragging. My place is nearby, and it's better than a five-star presidential suite," the boss said in a sales-like manner.
Zhao Mingyang and his little cousin came to the room on the second floor. It was really clean, and the antique buildings and ancient trees in the courtyard always gave people a different accommodation experience.
After the little cousin entered the house, she borrowed a phone that belonged to her family. She made a call inside the house. Zhao Mingyang sent a text message outside the house to a staff member of Daotian Entertainment, asking him to come and stay at the B&B and prepare to record.
Equipment, the other party spread rumors that our artist Liu Bingbing had lived here and had been here with members of the opposite sex. We directly sent a lawyer's letter to the other party, suing the other party for spreading rumors and asking the other party to publicly apologize and compensate.
Damn it, this boss just remembers Liu Bingbing. Damn it, he wants Liu Bingbing as a gimmick. If he doesn’t cover his mouth to death, isn’t he laying the groundwork for himself?
"Boss, prepare a pot of tea for us. Your environment is really nice, just like what you said online." Zhao Mingyang said to the boss in the corridor with a smile on his face. He didn't use his identity information to register, but used
I found another one. Liu Bingbing didn't use her login information at the beginning and couldn't find it. As for the video, Zhao Mingyang was going to ask about it.
The maximum length of video recording in normal commercial areas is one year, and most of them last three months. At that time, Liu Bingbing was not famous yet, and it was only last year that her fame really became popular.
The boss carried a pot of tea and walked up the stairs. Zhao Mingyang took the teapot from the boss and asked in a low voice: "Boss, what does Liu Bingbing look like in person? My girlfriend was here just now. I don't have the nerve to ask. I have a video that looks good on me."
?"
"I'm really good-looking. I'm the kind of person who is unforgettable in a crowd. After all, the performance department of Shanghai Theater Academy only recruits about thirty people a year, so every appearance is unique. There are only good-looking and very good-looking."
, that way, really, she was incredibly beautiful before her debut, and she became even more beautiful after her debut." The boss said with a crazy look on his face.
"Then do you have photos? Don't just tell me, I can brag as well. If you don't have photos, you have no credibility if you say this." Zhao Mingyang said.
"I really don't know this. I didn't expect her to be a big star in the future. It's not good to secretly take photos of others. I don't have that hobby. If the customers find out about this, why don't they scold me to death?" the boss said.
"Boss, you didn't record it? Where's the surveillance video? Did you keep it at the time?" Zhao Mingyang asked.
"No, it's been so long. I looked for it but couldn't find it. It's been too long. I only have videos in the public areas, not in the house. Don't worry." The boss said.
"Then customers won't believe you when you say that." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Believe it or not, I never lie to anyone," the boss said.
Zhao Mingyang took the tea and said: "Whether others believe it or not, I believe what you said, boss. Boss, your business is really good, it must be very profitable."
"I'm here~" The boss was about to say, it seemed that Zhao Mingyang had asked before, why did he ask again?
"I didn't make much money, it was just hard-earned money." After the boss said that, he left and became suspicious of Zhao Mingyang. Isn't this guy a pickpocket or a robber? Why do you keep asking yourself if you make money?
Zhao Mingyang squinted at the boss, "You'd better not have it. If you do, I will sue you until you go bankrupt and invade your customers' privacy. I won't let you pay 100 million yuan and I won't give up."
Carrying the check, I walked into the house. My cousin had finished making the phone call. The structure of the inner room of the house was very similar to the layout in a costume drama, with a wooden double bed room.
There were bed curtains, a round table and several wooden stools in the room. The little cousin pushed up a window, which was an antique design.
"It's so nice here. It's quiet in the middle of the city. When you step out of here, you'll find the bustling city. It's very quiet here and you can also see the street scene outside. Brother Mingyang, you really know how to choose a place. I want to paint." said the little cousin.
.
"Okay, I'll buy you painting tools later. You paint here while I go to work." Zhao Mingyang said.
After drinking a few sips of tea, Zhao Mingyang's cell phone rang. It was Xu Qingqing. After answering the call, Zhao Mingyang glanced at his little cousin. She was playing with her cell phone. If Zhao Mingyang raised his tone at this time, he could go out and call. After all, he could show off.
I have work to deal with and don’t want to disturb my little cousin.
But if Zhao Mingyang spoke calmly and then walked out, she would be suspicious and ask questions about the caller. Women are very alert.
Zhao Mingyang was about to answer the call in the house. If his voice was loud, it would make Xu Qingqing suspicious. It was better to just call the call, so he answered the call in front of his little cousin.
"Where are you?" Xu Qingqing asked.
"In Su City." Zhao Mingyang first told the truth. If Xu Qingqing saw it, it would prove that he was not lying. Then he made up an excuse. If he lied at the beginning, if Xu Qingqing discovered something, he would have no way to defend himself.
Yes, this is called leaving a safe space for yourself.
"Do you have any work to deal with over there?" Xu Qingqing asked again.
"Well, I was invited by a client from Ben R. They came here to handle some matters, and I couldn't refuse. After all, they were doing business, so they invited me to come over and help her handle some matters. After that, everything should be fine.
If you have anything to say, just tell me." Zhao Mingyang said.
"It's nothing, I just miss you, and I want to tell you that my grandma is celebrating her ninetieth birthday. Do you have time to come over then?" Xu Qingqing said.
"Look at what you said, your grandma is my grandma. I have to go when the time comes, and I have to be a big man. Otherwise, how will the old man treat me, and how will your family view me? After all, we are all one family.
ah.
Tell me the time and place, and I will prepare in advance. I will go there after I have finished my work here. Mr. Xu, should I call you Mr. Xu now? I heard that you are now the general manager of Shencheng Company." Zhao Mingyang joked
said.
From the perspective of the little cousin, Zhao Mingyang was on the phone with a business partner at this moment, and she also knew that Zhao Mingyang was here to help an R client here.
The most important thing is that your grandma that Zhao Mingyang is talking about is my grandma. We are a family. This is obviously a polite way of saying it, especially Mr. Xu at the back. He sounds like the title of a business partner. It seems that the other party invited Zhao Mingyang to celebrate the old man's birthday.
.
And what Xu Qing heard was that Zhao Mingyang was receiving R customers in Suzhou at this time. Even if he saw his little cousin and Eiko Ito, these are customers. I told you before, customers? Of course, the service must be in place. The service must be in place.
As long as the customer is happy, in short, as I said before, no one can say that I am innocent without a pig mastiff built on the bed.
"Get out of here and pay it back to Mr. Xu. I'm exhausted. It's not easy to be the boss. I have meetings every day and have to deal with all kinds of things. It's so annoying. My grandma's birthday is on the 5th next month. My head hurts now.
Zhao Mingyang, I want to eat the food you cooked." Xu Qingqing said.
"Then I'll go see you when I'm done. I'll personally cook a Manchu banquet for you. I miss you too. I miss you every day. You said we haven't seen each other for so long. One day is like three autumns apart.
By the way, there is a project at the investment company. I will send it to you when the time comes. Invest in a new field. This time I went to Hanguo to run some projects. I have made an appointment with the client here and hung up first.
" Zhao Mingyang said.
"Well, you go do your business first, okay, I love you." Xu Qingqing said.
Zhao Mingyang hung up the phone and took a long breath and said helplessly: "I'm going to your hometown next month to give you a gift. You said it was just an invitation. Why did you go through so many twists and turns? You miss me and want to have dinner with me.
