Chapter 359: You and I
Chapter 359: You and I
Guanhe Yayuan Chinese Restaurant.
"Come on, come on, let's toast together and wish Xiaoying and Andrew good luck in their development in the country!"
“I wish the two children happiness and harmony!”
"cheers."
...
After his girlfriend's explanation, Andrew quickly stood up, smiled and said "thank you" several times.
Amid the crisp and pleasant sound of glass clinking, Xie Shuyu drank the little red wine left in the glass.
Then he chatted with Andrew and Xie Chunying about Shanghai and work, and explained a few things to other relatives from time to time.
The main reason why her parents pulled her over today was that she was the only one among all the relatives who could communicate fluently in English.
And I have worked in Shanghai before.
Her presence can make the atmosphere more harmonious.
Otherwise, it would be awkward if Xie Chunying was the only one passing the message.
Aunt Zeng Yan was all smiles as she added the information she knew.
What kind of top consulting companies, top 500 foreign companies, and customer management work...
After saying that, the daughter began to praise her future son-in-law Andrew.
From time to time, he would chat with Andrew in Chinese-style English, regardless of whether the other party could understand him or not.
Her family has devoted so much effort to their daughter, especially during her years of studying abroad, they really saved money to support her.
Now that she has finally made it in life and brought back such a good boyfriend, she is extremely excited and moved.
Later on, they had already started planning what nationality their future child would have, and they had even specifically asked for Xie Shuyu's opinion.
Seeing that the topic of "marriage" and "childbirth" was brought up again, Xie Shuyu, who was worried that he would be implicated, responded casually and stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Watching her leaving back.
Zeng Yan patted Xie's mother's hand and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother should persuade Xiaoyu when you have time. She should find someone so that she can have a companion in the future. Otherwise, she will be so lonely."
Mother Xie glanced at her and shook her head, saying, "Our Xiaoyu has always been a very righteous person since she was young. If you have the ability, you can go and persuade her."
"Well..." Zeng Yan smiled awkwardly, "Forget it then."
She just wanted to take advantage of this topic to brag about her daughter.
I just started the conversation and asked if she had any plans to date someone, but Xie Shuyu gave me the cold shoulder.
If she were really asked to talk to Xie Shuyu face to face, she would definitely not dare to do so.
"Buzzing—"
The cell phone rang, accompanied by a violent vibration.
"It's Xiaoyu's call."
Xie's mother glanced at the cell phone on her daughter's seat.
Caller: [@唐宋].
She knew her daughter's habits. For people who were important to her, she would add an @ symbol in front of their names, which was equivalent to pinning them to the top of the address book.
This habit started in middle school.
Generally speaking, those who receive this treatment are her parents, family members, and close friends.
This name is obviously a boy's name, and I have never heard my daughter say it before. There is even a symbol in front of it.
This abnormal behavior instantly aroused her curiosity.
However, she never answers her daughter's calls privately, after all, it may involve privacy.
I picked up the phone and pressed the volume button.
Soon, the phone went quiet and the other party hung up.
A while passed.
"Buzz buzz buzz—" the cell phone rang again.
Still [@唐宋].
Zeng Yan, who was chatting, said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoyu's phone is ringing again. Please answer it. She is not in the company now. What if there is something urgent?"
"That's right." Xie's mother picked up the phone and answered the call hesitantly.
Then, a young and magnetic voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Sister Shuyu, I came to Quancheng tonight to meet with friends. Sister Yourong said you were at Guanhe Yayuan Chinese Restaurant. I'm on my way there now and will be there in a few minutes. I want to see you. I have something important to tell you."
Xie's mother's heart skipped a beat. Something was wrong with her daughter!
She has known Jiang Yourong for a long time. She is a university professor and is steady in her work.
They would never tell anyone the address of their family dinner.
This boy can get information from her and be pinned by Xiaoyu, so the relationship is definitely not simple.
Good! Good! The iron tree has really blossomed!
Maybe I will really be able to hold my grandson (granddaughter) in my arms in the future!
Mother Xie smiled and said, "Looking for Xiaoyu, right? She's in the bathroom. I'll ask her to call you back when she comes back!"
Tang Song on the other end of the phone was stunned, "Oh, OK, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome, you're welcome!"
hang up the phone.
Zeng Yan beside him asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, whose phone is this? Why do you look so happy?"
"A friend of Xiaoyu said she was coming to see her and will be at Guanhe Yayuan soon."
"Oh?" Zeng Yan raised her long eyebrows and keenly discovered the key point, "Male?"
"Yeah, that's it!"
Hearing this and seeing the expression on Xie's mother's face, the others became curious and began to ask further questions.
"Su'e, is Xiaoyu dating someone?"
"What's going on? Xiaoyu's boyfriend is coming over for dinner?"
"No way? My sister has a boyfriend?"
Mother Xie quickly shook her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoyu will be angry again later."
...
"Splash--" the faucet was turned on.
Xie Shuyu washed his hands and adjusted his clothes and hairstyle in front of the mirror.
As soon as I walked out of the bathroom door, I heard lively discussions in the banquet area behind the screen.
He also mentioned himself.
Frowning, Xie Shuyu strode inside.
With her appearance, the table instantly became quiet.
Mother Xie quickly stood up and said, "Xiaoyu, a boy named Tang Song just called you and said he would come to Guanhe Yayuan to look for you."
"Uh..." Xie Shuyu was stunned and his pace unconsciously quickened. He reached out to take the phone handed to him by his mother and took a look at it.
Xie's mother explained: "I didn't answer the first time he called, but then he called again and I answered because I was afraid it was urgent."
"I understand, Mom. I'll go call her back." Xie Shuyu said, and walked out of the banquet area again.
"Beep, beep—" The phone rang twice and then was connected.
"Hey, you're coming to Guanhe Yayuan? When?"
"It's almost there. It will be here in about 3 minutes. Is it convenient for you now? I want to talk to you about the financing of Weiguang Coffee. If you have something else, we can make an appointment tomorrow."
Xie Shuyu was silent for a moment, then whispered, "It's convenient. I'll go downstairs and wait for you. It's at the east gate of Guanhe Yayuan."
"Okay, see you later then."
"Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Shuyu looked at his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window and suddenly felt happy.
This emotion came violently and inexplicably.
She is a confident and tenacious person, and believes that she can overcome every challenge.
The difficulties faced by Weiguang Coffee and its failure to raise funds dealt her a heavy blow, and she inevitably felt confused and frustrated.
This time returning to my hometown in Quancheng from Yancheng, whether it was cross-country travel or chatting with parents and friends, it was all a way of self-healing.
When she heard that Tang Song had come to see her specially, she became lively.
Return to the banquet area.
Looking at the gazes from his relatives, Xie Shuyu's slightly raised lips drooped.
She picked up her bag from her seat and said softly, "A friend is coming. I'll be out for a while."
"How about..." Xie's mother whispered, "How about asking your friends to come here and sit together? Have a chat?"
Zeng Yan followed up and said, “Yes, Xiaoyu, since he is your friend, you can let him come up directly and we can add a few more dishes.”
"No thanks." Xie Shuyu shook his head calmly and slung the bag over his shoulder.
We have a bunch of relatives here, so what's the point of asking Tang Song to come over?
Not suitable.
Xie's mother quickly pulled her back and asked, "Will you be back soon?"
"We're almost done eating, so I won't be back. Mom, you didn't drink, so you can drive my dad home later." Xie Shuyu handed over the BMW key in his hand, "I'm leaving, my friend will be downstairs soon, bye."
There was nothing else to do anyway, and if I stayed any longer I might have to listen to my aunt talking about how to register the child, so I just found an excuse to slip away.
Xie Chunying stood up and said, "By the way, sister, how about I go down with you? I haven't given you the gift I brought from abroad yet."
"It's okay, just give it to my mom later."
"Okay..." Xie Chunying felt a little disappointed. She had admired her cousin since she was a child.
I heard it might be my boyfriend, and I really want to see it with my own eyes.
Watching Xie Shuyu walk out of the box with his long legs.
Everyone looked at each other and started talking again.
Xie Chunying quickly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes fixed on the downstairs.
After a while, she shouted in surprise: "My sister is out and waiting outside the door. The boy should be here soon!"
Hearing this, Xie's mother couldn't sit still any longer. "Let me take a look at what she looks like. Anyway, she sounds very young."
After all, she is my own daughter, how could I not care about her.
But she knew her daughter's temper and personality, so she never interfered too much.
Then, several more relatives got up from their seats and came to the window.
"Let me take a look too. Sister Shuyu is so outstanding, so she must have found a good partner!"
"Maybe he's a wealthy man."
"It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, as long as you are a decent person."
...
……
The gloomy sky seemed to be lightly covered by a thick layer of gray gauze.
The black Rolls-Royce drove along the winding road, quietly passing through the night.
Soon, the gurgling river came into view.
Guanheyuan is next to a clear river and not far from the Garden Expo Park.
There are many trees around, the roads are wide and smooth, and the environment is excellent.
Tang Song looked at the map app and found that he was only a few hundred meters away from his destination.
He tapped the armrest with his fingers, his eyes dancing with anticipation and excitement. This time, he would completely refresh Xie Shuyu's impression of him.
Participate in her and Weiguang Coffee's future as an investor.
Their relationship will also undergo fundamental changes.
The car turned smoothly and slowly drove into the riverside road.
Tang Song looked through the front window and saw Xie Shuyu standing on the sidewalk by the road.
The dim street lights cast a soft light, making her figure appear even taller.
The thick black hair is slightly curly and falls softly on both sides of the shoulders.
She lowered her head slightly, her left hand resting on her right arm, with the familiar LV gilded Sahara bag slung over her shoulder.
The hem of her dress swayed gently in the breeze, adding a touch of coolness to her temperament.
Under the A-line skirt, the slender white legs are tightly together, elegant and sexy.
Looking at that extremely familiar figure and recalling the past scenes, Tang Song's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
Thanks for the sparse rain, thanks for the sparse rain.
……
The bright light swept across the curb and hit her body, lengthening her shadow.
Xie Shuyu narrowed his eyes slightly and moved a little.
Looking up, I saw a Rolls-Royce slowly approaching.
The wheels rolled slowly over the ground, making a slight sound.
The goddess of celebration on the front of the car shines with charming luster under the reflection of the street lights, as if she was coated with a thin layer of gold.
The majestic body and exquisite chrome decoration outline a luxurious profile.
Xie Shuyu was no stranger to the Phantom car.
Looking at the license plate "Yan A", Xie Shuyu's heart moved slightly.
She has come into contact with many wealthy and powerful people, including one who drove a Phantom.
But people like this usually have assets in the billions.
Or they may control a large group and make purchases in the name of the company to offset taxes.
Just as she was thinking secretly.
There was a barely audible brake sound, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped steadily beside her.
Xie Shuyu took half a step back and looked towards the back seat of the car.
Can't see anything because of the privacy glass.
"Click--" The main car door was opened, and a tall and agile figure walked out.
Her steps were light and steady. She walked around to the back door, gently grasped the door handle, and slowly opened the door.
The whole process was seamless and natural.
Combined with her calm and solemn face, it is full of unique beauty in the night.
As the reverse door opened, the exquisite and luxurious interior of the car slowly unfolded, and the figure sitting on the seat gradually appeared in Xie Shuyu's sight.
The black silk shirt and crisp black trousers outline his tall and strong figure.
Under the jet-black hair, a handsome and three-dimensional face is faintly visible under the light.
The hard-soled leather shoes stepped on the cement concrete floor, making a crisp "tapping" sound.
He stood up gracefully, suddenly appeared in the night, and looked at her with a smile.
Xie Shuyu's eyes were blank, his mouth slightly open.
Tang and Song, Tang and Song?
...
"Boom, boom—" the sound of heartbeat lingers in my ears.
Tang Song looked at the beautiful female president's shocked expression and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, this feeling, really is just like myself back then.
It's just that the relationships between the characters have been reversed.
At that time, I was sitting by the window in the cafe.
Watching a BMW 7 Series stop outside the window.
Watching Xie Shuyu walking down calmly.
Look at her elegant and dignified demeanor.
Look at the confidence and beauty she radiates.
Looking at her standing in front of him.
I had a similar expression at that time.
For him, perhaps making up for regrets and unwillingness is the true meaning of success.
This is true for game characters, for parents and family members, and for women as well.
"Bang!" The rear door was closed. Liu Jiayi paced to the side of the car and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.
Xie Shuyu's eyes trembled, and he whispered: "Xiao Song, you..."
At this moment, the shock in her heart was indescribable, but her usual self-cultivation and reserve allowed her to remain calm.
"Sister Shuyu, good evening. You look so beautiful today." Tang Song showed a bright smile on his face and took the initiative to come in front of her, standing very close to her.
Close enough to breathe in her deep woody scent and hint of jasmine.
"Good evening." Xie Shuyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She subconsciously avoided his gaze and looked at the Rolls-Royce next to her and asked, "What's wrong with this car?"
"It doesn't matter."
No, this is important!
Xie Shuyu moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He always felt that Tang Song in front of him had become a little different.
Seems full of aggression.
In fact, she had this feeling when they separated last time. That proactive hug left a deep impression on her.
"I heard from Sister Yourong that you were in a very bad mood because of the failed financing, so I wanted to come and see you. Are you okay?"
Xie Shuyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "It's not that exaggerated. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
"That's good." Tang Song lowered his eyes and looked at the graceful female president.
She has bright features, fair skin and thick black hair.
Elegant and mature, with a good posture and a very good spirit.
The overall look has a kind of high intelligence and sisterly beauty, which makes people full of desire to conquer.
Tang Song took a deep breath, unable to suppress his excitement, and opened his arms to hug the dignified, tall and thin female president.
A strong sense of satisfaction and accomplishment came over me again.
I felt his strong and powerful embrace and breathed in his drunken scent.
Xie Shuyu's eyes suddenly widened and his body gradually softened.
……
"He...he's got him!" Xie Chunying blurted out, "He's my sister's boyfriend? He's...so handsome!"
She didn't know how to describe it, but the most intuitive feeling was that he was handsome, elegant, and very outstanding.
As she spoke, the people in front of the French window gradually woke up.
The scenes that just happened were still flashing before their eyes.
The solemn and dignified Rolls-Royce, the cool and beautiful driver, and the tall and handsome boy.
"This boy looks amazing."
"Of course not. It's a Rolls-Royce Phantom, worth more than 10 million yuan. I've only seen it on a short video."
"Hiss~, so expensive? Xiaoyu is amazing, she found such a good boyfriend."
"Su'e, when did Xiaoyu start dating someone? Why haven't I heard her mention it?"
Listening to the discussions around her, Xie's mother took a deep breath and an excited smile appeared on her face.
"I don't know either. As you know, Xiaoyu has been independent since she was young. Her father and I don't care about these things, and we can't control them. But in other words, Xiaoyu must have her own plans and know who is the best person for her. If people like us interfere, it will be counterproductive."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zeng Yan with a smile.
Their daughter has been their pride since she was young and has never caused them any worries.
Now it seems that she also has her own ideas about her future partner.
Even if they wanted to help such an outstanding man, they had no channels to introduce him.
Zeng Yan grinned and looked at the figures hugging each other downstairs and the two luxurious and elegant Rolls-Royces with envy.
The arrogance that had just risen in my heart was instantly extinguished.
How does this compare?
After a moment of silence, Zeng Yan said awkwardly, "Yes, Xiaoyu has always been capable and thoughtful. As for the financing issue, it seems that we are worrying about nothing."
Other relatives followed suit, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.
Anyone who drives such a multi-million luxury car must be a big shot far beyond their level.
Now that Xie Shuyu has such a partner, things will definitely get better and better in the future.
They can benefit from this, too.
……
After a long hug, Tang Song slowly let go of her and took half a step back.
"Sister Shuyu, the river view here is nice, how about taking a walk together?"
"Yeah." Xie Shuyu nodded slightly, and the expression on his face returned to normal.
Although she had many doubts and confusions in her heart, she did not express them.
I also believe that Tang Song will explain everything to her soon.
The weeping willows on the bank are swaying, and their slender branches hang down to the ground.
Walking along the sidewalk, you can smell the moist scent of river water and the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air.
The two walked in silence for a while.
Tang Song stopped in a rest area, turned to look at her and said, "Actually, I came here to talk to you about investing in Weiguang Coffee."
Xie Shuyu applied a little force to his fingers, "What do you mean?"
She could naturally understand the meaning of Tang Song's words, but she was a little surprised and unbelievable.
Tang Song looked at her bright eyes and smiled, "To put it simply, I have invested in the Weiguang Coffee project! I have already contacted the other two shareholders and will soon be able to get all of their shares."
After hearing the exact answer, Xie Shuyu's full chest heaved and his breathing gradually became rapid.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to stay calm and said, "Are you kidding?"
"Of course, I have participated in investment roadshows and I am very familiar with the entire project. I have also done detailed research and analysis. The coffee industry is currently highly competitive, and the top brands have a significant effect. The chain rate of brands is constantly increasing, and major brands are accelerating the expansion of the number of stores..."
Tang Song looked relaxed and calm, and talked eloquently about various data reports, demonstrating excellent professional qualities.
After talking for four or five minutes.
Tang Song reached out and held her arm, smiling and said, "Of course, all of the above are secondary. The most important thing is that I believe in you and want to make Weiguang Coffee bigger and stronger with you."
Looking at his tall, handsome and high-spirited figure and listening to his words, Xie Shuyu seemed to see that morning half a year ago again.
In the Weiguang Coffee shop.
She spoke to Tang Song face to face, and in the same way she told him about her views on technology development and her requirements for part-time staff.
Finally, I expressed my trust and affirmation to him, and hoped to work with him to make the mini program a success.
Similar scenes, you and I reversed.
