Chen Long didn't shy away from it and answered the phone: "Sister."
As soon as Zhao Yunlong heard him calling her sister, he knew it was Yao Meizhi who was calling. He said hello and wisely avoided the call.
Yao Meizhi asked on the phone: "Aaron, should you go home now?"
"Well, sister, I've already arrived home."
"You brat, you didn't even call me when you got home, and you asked me to take the initiative to call you. Do you not have a sister in your heart?"
Yao Meizhi said coquettishly.
"Sister, how could it be? You know I have you in my heart."
Chen Long also lowered his voice.
It’s better to try not to let others know about this kind of thing.
"Aaron, let me ask you, how does Xian'er treat you?"
"She went on a trip and I didn't see her."
"When did she leave?"
"Today, just before I go home."
"She left as soon as you came home. This wasn't traveling, it was running away from home. She didn't want to see you and was avoiding you on purpose, right?"
Yao Meizhi is a woman with a delicate mind, and she guessed it right at once.
Chen Long did not hide it: "Yes, sister, you are right.
She just avoided me on purpose and is still angry with me."
"Then you can get the divorce, why are you dragging it out?"
"No, as long as Xian'er doesn't file for divorce from me, I will never take the initiative to divorce her. This is my principle.
I don’t want to hurt either of you, but the focus in my heart is definitely Xian’er.”
"I see.
So what do you do now?"
"Xian'er just ran away from home and didn't tell me about the divorce. I want to find her."
"..."
There was a bit of silence on the other end of the phone.
Obviously, Yao Meizhi was a little disappointed.
Chen Long was not in a hurry and waited for her to think about it quietly.
Finally, Yao Meizhi spoke: "When will you leave?"
"tomorrow morning."
"Then can't you come over and stay with me tonight?"
"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't accompany you tonight.
If I ran over to accompany you tonight, what would my father, my mother, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my brother-in-law think?
I don’t want to make this contradiction bigger and bigger.”
"Aaron, it's okay.
I hope you can find Xian'er and take her home as soon as possible."
Yao Meizhi's voice was a bit resentful.
"Sister, thank you, you are always so considerate.
By the way, how are things going at the car company? Have you ever gone to Yuzhou to investigate?"
Chen Long changed the topic.
Talking about the company's affairs, Yao Meizhi's tone immediately returned to normal: "Last time when I returned home, Vice President Zeng went to Yuzhou for inspection and received a warm welcome and reception from Pegasus Automobile.
Your guess is correct. They are in a difficult period. They have been losing money in the past few years and have become a burden on the government. Yuzhou also wants to get rid of this burden.
We have a preliminary intention to cooperate, but the cooperation method and price have not yet been negotiated."
"Sister, don't be anxious, take your time."
"Yes, I am going to ask Vice President Zeng to come over and have a talk in two days to express our sincerity."
"Yes, we must fully express our sincerity."
…
In the evening, the luxury bus slowly drove into Jinrong South Station.
Lin Xianer and Zhang Lan got out of the car.
The two of them chatted in the car for 4 hours and became very familiar with each other. They each carried their travel bags and walked out of the station chatting and laughing.
Walking out of the station, you will see a wide road with 8 lanes in both directions, with heavy traffic and people coming and going.
There are many high-rise buildings on both sides, giving it the scenery of a modern big city.
Lin Xian'er couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! The provincial capital is just different, much more beautiful than our Longzhou!"
Zhang Lan introduced with a smile: "Xian'er, this avenue is the newly built Third Ring Road in Jinrong. It surrounds the entire city and has a circumference of more than 60 kilometers."
Lin Xianer opened her mouth: "Wow, such a big city!"
"Of course, this is the provincial capital. It is the center of all aspects of the province. The urban population is more than 3 million. There are more than a dozen universities alone."
"Sister Lan, where is your hotel?"
"It's not far from here. Come on, I'll take you to see it."
Zhang Lan reached out and hailed a taxi.
The two got into the car.
In just a few minutes, the taxi arrived at the hotel.
The hotel is located in a small town near the Third Ring Road. It has only 4 floors and covers an area of two to three hundred square meters. It is an old house from the 1980s with relatively simple exterior decoration. It is an inconspicuous small hotel.
The name of the hotel is easy to remember, it's called Shunfeng Hotel.
The ground floor is a row of facades. In addition to the hotel's front desk, there is also a restaurant and a supermarket.
Lin Xianer asked curiously: "Sister Lan, is this your own house?"
Zhang Lan shook his head and smiled: "How can our family have such a big house? I rented it to a friend who runs a company. His family is very rich and he bought a house in the city. He doesn't care about this small industry.
He rented it to me cheaply.
The monthly rent for such a big house is only 2,000 yuan."
"Oh, that's pretty cheap.
This hotel is quite big, you can’t manage it by yourself, right?”
"Of course, I asked a few people to help.
Come on, let’s eat first, and then I’ll find you a good room.”
So, the two of them walked into the restaurant.
Zhang Lan also opened the restaurant by herself, hiring a chef and two waiters, who greeted her respectfully when they saw her.
But when I saw Lin Xian'er, my eyes were different, and it felt a bit strange.
Of course, Zhang Lan hosted the dinner and cooked several dishes. Lin Xianer's stomach was full.
After dinner, the room was arranged.
Zhang Lan walked into the hotel front desk with Lin Xianer.
There are two waiters at the front desk, one male and one female, chatting.
The woman is very young, and although she looks average, she is dressed in a fashionable and well-painted make-up, which makes her look quite pleasing to the eye.
The man is in his 30s, has short hair, wears a leather jacket, is relatively thin, and looks smart and capable.
When they saw Zhang Lan, they both stood up to say hello.
Then, Leather Jacket's eyes fell on Lin Xian'er. Those eyes were straight, bold and hot, as if they were going to penetrate the clothes.
Lin Xianer was not used to it and avoided his gaze.
Zhang Lan said angrily: "Ayong, what are you looking at? I've never seen a beautiful woman."
Leather Jacket withdrew his gaze and laughed: "Sister Lan, you misunderstood. I just compared the two of you to see who is more beautiful. As a result, I found that Sister Lan is the prettiest."
"Stop flattering me, I know myself."
Zhang Lan took Lin Xian'er's hand and introduced with a smile: "Xian'er, this is my friend A Yong, who is also my partner."
Leather Jacket immediately stretched out his hand: "Hello, Miss Xian'er."
