Chapter 356 We Are About to Intersect

Chapter 356 We Are About to Intersect

The roar of the engine echoed among the mountains.

The tires rolled over the yellow-brown dirt road, raising a cloud of flying dust that formed a long "yellow dragon" behind the car, which lasted for a long time.
The bright white Jeep Wrangler travels through the rolling hills.

Outside the car window, the distant scenery was looming in the dark clouds, like a smudged ink painting.

"Wow! So cool!" Jiang Yourong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, shouted out of the window.

Seeing the dust floating in the air, he quickly closed the car window again.

The seat belt passed through her mature and voluptuous body, outlining her towering breasts, which rose and fell with the bumpy car body.

Her face was flushed with excitement, and she looked towards the driver's seat. "Shu Yu, I have to admit that self-driving off-road is indeed fun. Unfortunately, it's summer now, and many camping spots and scenic spots are too hot. How about we make another trip on October 1st?"

"You know, October 1st is my busiest time every year, but I can lend you my car for fun."

"No, I'm a poor man. I can't afford to compensate you if I break it." Jiang Yourong shrugged helplessly.

Her annual income is just over 20 yuan, and she has only bought a house a few years ago. She has to supplement her "horizontal scientific research funds" from time to time.

There is very little real disposable savings.

The landing price of this Wrangler is 52 yuan, and even a second-hand one costs more than 30 yuan.

"Haha, you don't have to pay for it. I don't have time to play off-road in Yancheng. I only go back to my hometown occasionally. It's summer vacation now, so I'll lend it to you if you like."

"Forget it, I don't have confidence in my driving skills."

"Pay attention, we are almost at the top of the mountain."

Switching the gear to low-speed four-wheel drive mode, Xie Shuyu stared at the slope ahead, his eyes filled with joy and excitement.

"Boom--" Slowly and firmly step on the accelerator.

The tires bit the ground tightly, grabbing the rough rocks and dirt, and the wheels spun rapidly, bringing up flying debris.

After driving for a while, the car stopped next to Yunxiao Pavilion on the top of the mountain.

Jiang Yourong unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and jumped out.

Standing on a mountain with an altitude of 1488 meters, you can see the sea of ​​clouds and the beautiful scenery of Taihang Mountains.

"Shu Yu, come here quickly and take a picture for me!"

She turned and shouted to the wrangler next to her.

Then, I saw the dirty car door being pushed open, revealing a man wearing a rose-red sports vest, loose work pants, and brown sunglasses.

Her long hair, like black satin, was blown away by the mountain breeze. Under her high nose bridge, the corners of her slightly upturned mouth showed a faint smile.

With her tall and sexy figure and the huge Wrangler off-road vehicle behind her, she looks confident and heroic, with the charm of a heroine.

Jiang Yourong couldn't help but twitch her lips. "Don't take pictures with me later. I'm afraid I'll drop my phone. Why can't you gain weight? It's not fair!"

She is a little plump, and she looks even fatter on camera.

If he were to be contrasted by Xie Shuyu, who is 175cm tall and 51kg, he would really become "Little Fatty Jiang".

"You don't have the willpower to explain it to me."

“Crack——” “Crack——”

The sound of taking pictures continued.

Both of them are top-notch beauties, one is tall, thin, sexy, beautiful and cool, and the other is plump and mature.

At the same time, they appeared in front of the scenic area on the top of the mountain, naturally attracting a lot of burning gazes.

However, few people dare to come up and chat with me.

The main reason is that Xie Shuyu's temperament is too sharp, with a strong sense of coldness and majesty.

After enjoying the breeze for a while at the top of the mountain, the white Wrangler started again with the roar of the huge engine.

Slowly descending the mountain road, it gradually becomes intertwined with the surrounding vegetation and rocks.

Xie Shuyu slowed down the car, opened the window casually, and let his long black hair dance gently.

My mood gradually became relaxed and bright.

She has always been an independent, confident and tenacious person.

Her attitude towards career and life is the same as that towards off-road running.

Even in the worst road conditions, we will move forward bravely and never retreat.

She also enjoys the sense of accomplishment of conquering the "mountain".

More than half an hour later.

The car arrived at a camping site at the foot of the mountain.

Xie Shuyu glanced around and stopped the car next to a black Hummer H2.

It was an old Hummer from 08, with rough and powerful body lines and the unique charm of hardcore off-road.

It sparkles with a unique charm among the green mountains and clear waters.

The two walked forward more than ten meters and saw a couple eating barbecue in the shade of a tree.

"Qingchuan, Shanshan." Xie Shuyu greeted them with a smile.

"Xiaoyu, Professor Jiang, here are some freshly grilled meat skewers. Come and try our Qingchuan's cooking skills!" Susan, wearing Martin boots, stood up and shook the skewers in her hand.

"Thank you, thank you both for your hard work."

The two took the skewers and sat down on the chairs opposite them.

"Ding ding ding--" the sound of glass bottles colliding was heard.

The four of them were eating barbecue and drinking Arctic Ocean drinks in a very pleasant atmosphere.

"I have an appointment with a few sisters to go for a spa tonight. Do you and Professor Jiang want to go?" Susan invited, "It's my treat! The buffet there is super delicious, and the fruit is also great."

Xie Shuyu shook his head and said, "Not tonight. There's a small party at my house. My cousin is back from abroad and brought a foreign boyfriend with her. My parents asked me to go over there to calm the situation."

Jiang Yourong thought about it and couldn't resist the temptation of spa + food. "I've been traveling recently and I really want to have a beauty treatment."

"Okay, I'll pick you up that night."

Tang Qingchuan put down his drink and said, "Shu Yu, I have already mentioned your financing to several friends. I will inform you in time if there is any news."

"Thank you, but I have let it go now. It doesn't matter if I can't raise funds. There will always be a way out when the mountain is reached." Xie Shuyu smiled and shook his head.

Tang Qingchuan is the husband of her high school classmate Susan and one of her good friends. They have known each other for almost 10 years.

He is a typical rich second-generation who loves off-road driving and even opened an off-road patrol club in Quancheng.

The family's main business is earthwork engineering, mainly undertaking government infrastructure projects, and also involving real estate.

He is considered a well-connected person in the entire Quancheng.

For example, the one-story house with a garden that she bought for her parents was bought with the help of Tang Qingchuan's connections.

Susan also helped arrange jobs for some relatives.

However, his network of contacts is mainly in the engineering field, and has nothing to do with consumer chain stores like Weiguang Coffee Shop.

Besides, Tang Qingchuan is currently in a critical period of succession.

Xie Shuyu would not shamelessly ask his friends to invest in him.

"Okay, you decide the situation." Tang Qingchuan said with a smile, "We are not qualified to give advice to a strong woman like you."

Susan nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu was very strong-willed when she was in high school. She wanted to do her best in everything she did. After graduating from college, she built a fortune from scratch and became the most outstanding independent woman I know."

She really admires her good friend, who doesn't rely on her parents like she used to, but now relies on her husband.

Xie Shuyu chuckled and nudged Jiang Yourong next to him with his arm, "Please be quiet for a while. I've only just started. Let Professor Jiang tell you the story of Director Jin, and you'll know what a true top-level woman is."

Tang Qingchuan and Susan were both startled, "Professor Jiang knows Jin Meixiao?"

They had only met Jiang Yourong a few times and had little contact with her.

Jiang Yourong, who was enjoying her meal, smiled and said as if nothing had happened: "I used to be an assistant to Director Jin."

This sentence has almost become her catchphrase.

As soon as she says it, she will definitely become the most beautiful girl in the audience.

Sure enough, over the next half hour or so, the two kept asking about stories and rumors about Director Jin.

"When I resigned in 17, Director Jin's car was a silver and black Maybach S680. Come to think of it, I've ridden in it a few times."

"What about the driver? Is he a muscular retired soldier? He is 1 meters tall, handsome, and wearing sunglasses."

"Puff..." Jiang Yourong couldn't help laughing a few times, then said, "Of course not. Director Jin's driver and assistant are all women. For example, when I was here, there was a new female driver. Her name was quite interesting. Her name was Liu Jiayi. She was a cool and cool girl who had won the national martial arts championship."

When talking about his former colleague, Jiang Yourong felt sour again.

Because she was "lazy and greedy for enjoyment", she gave up her assistant job, chose to take a doctorate exam and became a teacher in a university.

In fact, the career of university teacher is very good. It has high social status, relatively easy work, and winter and summer vacations. It was once her ideal career.

But the problem is that everything is afraid of comparison.

Also an early assistant.

Some of them became directors of listed companies, some were influential overseas, and some stayed with Director Jin to manage Smile Holdings.

Now that she saw these people, she didn't even have the qualifications to talk to them.

Even the driver Liu Jiayi, I heard, later became a senior leader at Golden Shield Security.

Fate is so fucked!

……

It's around 5 p.m.

"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang.

Tang Song, who was chatting with his parents, picked up his phone and answered it. "Hello, Zhang Lei, are you done?"

"Well, I just left the client company. Where are you now? Are you free?"

"I'm at home. If you're free, let's have a drink together tonight?"

"Of course! You've been drinking, haven't you? I've asked a guy to be my driver. He's driving to town to pick you up now. Just wait for me at the bus stop at the intersection. I'll be there in about 10 minutes."

"OK, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song said something to his parents, then stood up and walked out.

I haven't seen Zhang Lei for more than 6 years. He was busy with study and work in the past and had indeed neglected a lot.

Now that I meet my old classmates again, I feel very emotional.

I walked along the smooth concrete road to the intersection and waited for a few minutes.

"Beep beep--" the car horn sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a dirty Harvard H6 stopped next to him.

The passenger side window rolled down, revealing a greasy, sweaty face.

Zhang Lei patted the car door and said with a smile, "Let's go, Tang Song! Get in the car!"

Tang Song nodded, opened the back door and got in. The smell of alcohol, cigarettes and sweat instantly filled his nose.

"This is my buddy Wang Chaofei. Chaofei, this is my junior high school classmate and good friend Tang Song." Zhang Lei introduced them briefly. The two greeted each other.

The car started slowly.

Tang Song asked casually: "By the way, where are we going to drink?"

"How about going to Quancheng?" Zhang Lei leaned over and said, "Don't you want to ask about Zhang Yan? Liu Shasha is also working in the city now. She is very busy at work and has only one day off. Today happens to be the weekend and she is free."

"Okay, no problem." Tang Song nodded gently, then smiled and said, "You know me so well, is there something going on between you two?"

He only has a little memory of his old classmate Liu Shasha and probably wouldn't recognize her if they met.

However, judging from Zhang Lei's attitude, it is obvious that he has a close relationship with Liu Shasha.

"No." Zhang Lei quickly denied, "We just live in the same neighborhood now, so we keep in touch more often."

The two chatted for a while about their memories of junior high school.

Zhang Lei took out his phone and checked the time. "Well, I'll call Liu Shasha first to confirm the specific location."

"OK, all right."

Zhang Lei searched for his contacts and called directly, "Hey, Shasha, would you like to have a drink together tonight?"

"Oh my god, you are too narcissistic. I really don't want to pursue you."

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. A classmate from junior high school is back and wants to have a drink and chat with you."

"I won't tell you. Anyway, if you come, you will know who it is."

"Um... okay, let's go to the Snail Tavern around 6."

hang up the phone.

Zhang Lei was somewhat speechless and said, "Liu Shasha and Zhang Yunpeng are together. They said they would come together in the evening."

Tang Song smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter."

With his current mentality, he naturally wouldn't care about this "bad student" in his former class.

What's more, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years and are complete strangers.

"Zhang Yunpeng has become an internet celebrity now. He is said to know many big bosses. I guess Liu Shasha wants him to help her find a job, so she would hang out at his studio and try to get close to him whenever she has time."

"It can't be helped. It's hard to find a job now, especially for someone like her who has no skills and no connections."

Zhang Lei leaned back in his chair, chatting with Tang Song.

Before we knew it, the car drove into the urban area of ​​Quancheng and stopped at a busy commercial street.

The two got out of the car.

Zhang Lei pointed to a bar called Snail Tavern on the street and said, "This is it. There are food and drinks inside, and you can also watch movies. Let's go in first."

"Let's go." Tang Song patted his shoulder and strode into the tavern.

The sound of soft music floated in the air.

The walls are covered with posters of various classic movies, and the decoration style is full of a leisurely atmosphere.

Behind the wooden bar, a wide variety of liquors appear colorful under the light.

Since it was not yet peak time, there were few customers in the bar.

The two of them sat down in a booth near the inside and casually ordered some beer, snacks and fruit plates.

"Ding—" the sound of wine bottles colliding was heard.

The cold wine slid down his throat, and Tang Song sat comfortably on the sofa, and asked curiously: "By the way, Zhang Lei, I never asked you, what job do you do now?"

"Well." Zhang Lei laughed self-deprecatingly, "I am embarrassed to tell you that we are completely down and out now. We are currently engaged in food and beverage channel sales, and our customers are supermarkets, shopping malls, grocery stores and so on around Quancheng..."

Then Zhang Lei seemed to have opened up, and while drinking with Tang Song, he talked about his life in the past few years.

After graduating from high school, he attended a local technical college.

I had no shortage of money during college, lived a carefree life, and also had an unforgettable love affair.

Unexpectedly, just after graduation, his father's business ran into big problems.

Party A defaulted on the project payment and later ran away.

The family lost everything and owed the bank a large sum of money.

My father was so angry that he was hospitalized and his health deteriorated rapidly.

He could only work hard to pay off his debts, and his girlfriend naturally broke up with him.

Listening to his experience, Tang Song was filled with emotion.

Until he finally stopped.

Tang Song asked: "Zhang Lei, have you ever thought about developing in Yancheng?"

Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I have thought about it. This time I invited you to drink, in addition to reminiscing about the past, I also want to tell you that I will also go to Yancheng to work in a while, and I will definitely invite you to drink and eat then."

"Oh?" Tang Song asked in surprise, "Have you found a job?"

"No, it's because I performed well and I have some connections, so I'm being transferred to the company headquarters." Zhang Lei took out a box of business cards from his wallet, took one out and handed it to Tang Song, "My current job was introduced by a relative. Although it's a bit hard and tiring, I earn a lot of money, and it's a big, legitimate company with complete promotion channels and space."

Tang Song took the business card and glanced at it, his eyes slightly stunned, "Zhongcheng Group?"

Zhang Lei said with some pride: "Well, it is a well-known industrial group in our Yan Province. I will also work in sales at the headquarters, but I will be responsible for developing and contacting some major customers. At least I don't have to run around everywhere every day like I do now."

For him, a student who graduated from a junior college, it is definitely a great fortune to be able to work in the headquarters of Zhongcheng Group.

In recent years, due to debt problems, he has really been fighting for his life, and his performance has always been among the best in the branch. In addition, his uncle is the leader of the company, so he got this precious opportunity.

"That's great. Food and beverage is the pillar business of Zhongcheng Group. You have great potential in this field." Tang Song clinked glasses with him. "Remember to contact me when you arrive in Yancheng. If you need any help, just let me know."

He is very familiar with Zhongcheng Group. After all, the father of his contrasting girlfriend Xiaojing is the managing director of Zhongcheng.

Originally, he wanted to help this old classmate. Since he had been working in this industry for 3 or 4 years, he should let him continue to stay in Zhongcheng Group.

When Zhang Lei arrives at the headquarters, just ask Xiaojing to help.

Zhang Lei took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Thank you, Tang Song."

He could also see that Tang Song had asked him if he wanted to develop in Yancheng because he wanted to help him.

In the past few years, he has been through a lot and has experienced too many bad things.

Some of his so-called good friends in the past basically disappeared after his family fell into trouble.

At this moment.

"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang.

Tang Song took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked at it. He raised his eyebrows and said to Zhang Lei, "I'll go answer the call."

After saying that, he stood up and answered the phone, "Hello."

Then, a crisp voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Mr. Tang, I am Liu Jiayi from Golden Shield Security, and I will be your security director and exclusive driver. I have arrived in Quancheng. Where are you now?"

I felt familiar with the phone number when I saw it before.

Sure enough, it was his driver and Rolls-Royce Phantom that arrived.

Liu Jiayi?
Tang Song thought for a moment, and a figure quickly appeared in his mind. It was a beautiful and cool young lady.

After the car cover of Mercedes-Benz S450L was damaged, she was the one who delivered the car to me. Her business card is still on the car.

I didn't expect that the driver arranged by the system would be her.

Or rather, it was the driver arranged by Secretary Kim.

After all, the specific execution still has to be implemented by individuals, and in the game, Secretary Kim is the person in charge of all matters.

Secretary Kim really won my heart!
"I'm drinking with friends at the Snail Tavern in downtown Quancheng. I don't need a car for the time being. Just find a place to rest first."

"Okay, Mr. Tang! I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

……

Yuxiuyuan Community.

Xie Shuyu put down his phone and said to Jiang Yourong, "Susan has arrived at the south gate of the community."

"Ok, I'm going to get a spa treatment now! Bye, uncle and aunt, I hope you enjoy your meal tonight!"

Jiang Yourong said goodbye, picked up her bag and walked out.

After passing through the tree-lined community landscape and just walking out of the gate, she saw Susan standing on the roadside waving at her.

"Thank you Shanshan for coming to pick me up."

"Okay, Professor Jiang, don't be so polite with me."

After a few polite words, the two got into the car one after another.

The Porsche Cayenne turned on its left turn signal and slowly merged into the main road.

They are all women in their early 30s, so naturally they have no shortage of common topics.

After chatting for a while about beauty and skin care experiences.

Susan pointed to a commercial street ahead and said, "We're almost there. This store was just opened by a friend of my husband. The environment is great, but it's a pity that Shu Yu has been busy."

"She is a very busy person." Jiang Yourong chuckled and glanced through the car window to the street.

The sky gradually darkens, neon lights begin to rise, and the streets are crowded with people, filled with the atmosphere of a prosperous life.

Then, her gaze trembled and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Shanshan, stop!"

"What's wrong?" Susan stepped on the brakes in surprise and slowly pulled the car to the side of the road.

Jiang Yourong's chest rose and fell. "Excuse me, I saw a friend I haven't seen for a long time. You go to the spa first, I'll catch up with her and then come find you."

"Uh… okay."

Although it felt a bit strange, Susan did not ask more questions. After all, they were not very familiar with each other, and Jiang Yourong obviously did not want to say more.

"I'm really sorry. Bye." Jiang Yourong apologized again, opened the car door and walked out.

Taking a deep breath, she fixed her eyes in one direction.

In the paid parking lot on the street, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked quietly.

The iconic Parthenon-style air intake grille and the statue of the Goddess of Ecstasy standing on the front of the car exude a calm and majestic sense of power and nobility.

Attracting complicated glances.

Of course, what really caught her attention was the figure standing next to the car.

Wearing a well-fitting shirt and trousers, he stood straight with a healthy tan skin.

She had a neat low ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and three-dimensional face.

Looking at that familiar face, Jiang Yourong's body trembled slightly with excitement.

Oh my god! Liu Jiayi! Driver Liu Jiayi is actually in Quancheng!

What about Director Jin?
