Chapter 309 Rainy Night
When Leng Jiayue and I were eating, it was already dark outside. In order to show that I ate all these dishes alone, most of the dishes were placed on my side. Originally, Leng Jiayue wanted the empty plates as well.
It was placed next to me, but the waiter was very diligent and came over to take away one if it was empty.
Seeing that Leng Jiayue's conspiracy did not succeed, I laughed out loud. For this reason, Leng Jiayue ordered a bottle of ice wine in the middle, and I didn't react until she took two sips of the wine.
"You can't drive a car when you're drinking, and you're not driving a car when you're drinking." I joked, but actually I regretted not having thought of stopping her from drinking earlier.
"What?"
"It's nothing. I mean you shouldn't drink. You won't be able to drive later. It's raining. How can you go back?"
"Poor thinking, do you want to drink a little? Have you forgotten that there is a profession called driving?"
"That's right, what can be done with money is nothing."
"There is a saying you should have heard: 'When I make friends, I don't look at whether they have money. No matter how rich they are, they are still not as rich as me.'"
"I lost to you. I've heard this saying before. Do you rich people all have a natural sense of superiority?"
"Definitely a little bit, after all, I am a person who likes to enjoy life."
"Yeah, I was thinking about hiding from the rain, and you were enjoying life."
"That's right, you know what? Too many people approach me and want to get benefits from me. You are an exception. You don't want the benefits I give you. This makes me feel that there are still friendships in this world that are not based on interests."
"That's because you are a beauty. If you were a man, maybe I would feel inferior and avoid you."
"But I feel that you have always had low self-esteem, and I don't want to have a friend with low self-esteem."
"I don't want to drink. You can drink it yourself. I'll take you back later. It will probably be easier to call a taxi then."
Outside the glass curtain wall was a blurry night scene washed by the rain. I thought that I should go back early, at least to see Hua Wen's father. If it was late, the hospital would not allow entry.
Leng Jiayue saw that I was in a hurry to leave, but she was not in a hurry and actually ordered two ice creams. While waiting for the ice cream, she finally told me the reason I wanted to know.
"Every time I fly intercontinentally, I go to a Tai Chi school near my home, and this time is no exception. What's special is that the teacher told me my fortune. You know many Chinese people believe this. The teacher said that I will be able to do it this time.
Lack of help, I need to do something on my own, and then I will meet someone when I am most helpless, and this person will have a great impact on me."
"That person, do you think it's me? You haven't drunk much, so why are you talking a little garbled?" I paused and said.
"At first I thought it was someone from the oil field, until I met you."
"No wonder, I feel like you are from a different world than me, so why are you interested in me? I can't help your business, I'm not handsome, and I can't be your spiritual mentor."
"Bah, you are also a spiritual mentor. I feel like you are a strong-willed person. The first impression is very good. Once I get to know you, I think you are very ordinary."
"I was very ordinary to begin with, so I must have let you down."
"I will not give a second chance to someone who disappoints me. So far, I am still very interested in you. I especially want to know what impact you will have on me?"
"The secret must not be revealed. Let's go, I still have something to do."
"What can you do at night, but I do have to go back to the office and have a few meetings."
"Do you stay in a hotel when you come to Beijing? Why do I feel like you are always in the office? This saves money on the hotel."
"It's a bit tiring to come to the mainland. I have to deal with things here as quickly as possible during the day and deal with things in the United States at night. But there aren't many things here. With Uncle Li here, I basically just make some decisions.
I went back to the hotel to rest during the day, and there was no interruption from the United States at that time."
"You are so rich and you still work so hard. Can you make my life more comfortable? Sometimes, when I see you working so hard, I feel like I am the laziest person in the world."
"I can't help myself. I envy your life very much. I don't stay in Kashgar often because I would be jealous if you look so chic."
"I was very happy to hear that Bai Fumei was jealous of me. We have different cultural backgrounds, and only I understand the ups and downs best."
Leng Jiayue and I went to pick up the car. I drove my things back to the hotel first, and then took Leng Jiayue back to her office.
"You drive away. I'll ask the driver to pick it up later. It's raining too hard."
I thought of something, so I agreed when I was thinking of refusing. I drove to Shang Qingyun's house instead of going back to the hotel. I knew the general location of her house, but I had forgotten the specific address.
"Mire, are you at home? I'll come over to see you." I called Mire.
"Brother, at home, where are you?"
"It's Yizhuang, but I can't remember the specific location of Shang Qingyun's house. Please tell me."
"I don't live in Sister Shang's house. Her home is a bit far away and she is often away from home. I have moved out a long time ago. Didn't Sister Huawen tell you?"
Mire gave me an address. After navigating there, I saw Mire and found out that Mire now lives in a house in Huawen. The house is not big and it is one of several apartments in Huawen. Huawen directly let Mire live there.
Already.
I'm not surprised that Hua Wen has real estate in Beijing. I just don't think I know much about Mire's life in Beijing, and Mire has almost never taken the initiative to talk about it.
This is a high-end community, all of which are high-rise buildings. Since it is near the Third Ring Road, there is a lot of greenery, and the densely packed buildings have lights on.
Mire had just returned home when I arrived. She was working overtime, so she didn't make an appointment to have dinner with me in the afternoon.
I didn't go upstairs to sit down. I picked Mire up from the subway station and talked to her downstairs to make sure she had nothing to bring to her parents. I considered that I had done what I was supposed to do.
Before leaving, I gave her 20,000 yuan. She didn't want it at first, so I told her to keep it for herself first. When a person is out and in need, it's always a good thing to have something on hand.
Mire accepted it, but she said it was a loan and she could pay it back to me when she had some savings.
"I don't have rent here. The houses here are expensive and the rent is expensive. A year's rent in Kashgar can barely afford to rent a small room for a month," Mire said.
"You need to eat better. You are so far away from me and I can't care about you at all times. It's a good thing that you can learn to live independently."
When I said this, Mire actually started crying. Maybe I touched her inner fragility. My original intention was to give her money to make her feel that I supported her decision.
"Brother, don't be like this. If you act like this, I will be shaken in Beijing. I finally made up my mind to stay in this city and develop. You can't hold me back."
