Chapter 683 Don’t Let Down the Food
He Xu looked at the dumbfounded Cao Yang and didn't tell him that he was overthinking it, as most of these dishes were ordered for his girlfriend.
Su Xing smiled awkwardly and called Cao Yang, "Eat your food."
"Oh." Cao Yang responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
The three of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
They ate and talked, and gradually got to the point.
He Xu asked Cao Yang, "Does your office building on Xueyuan Road have any vacant offices for rent?"
Cao Yang thought for a moment and said, "There should be some. Those small companies change very quickly, and their office buildings are rented out all year round." He asked He Xu curiously, "Brother Xu, do you want to use the office?"
He Xu said, "It's not me, it's your sister-in-law. She's planning to register a studio and is choosing a location. I remembered that your family seems to have an office building near Peking University, so I thought of asking you."
Su Xing also smiled and said, "Yes, two classmates and I want to start a business, and we want to find an office closer to the school."
Cao Yang then understood why Brother Xu suddenly invited him to dinner.
But he was still willing to help. Putting aside his friendship with Brother Xu, just because Su Xing saved his life, he should do this little favor.
So Cao Yang said very straightforwardly and generously: "Sister-in-law, just tell me how many floors and how big an office you want, and I'll take you to see it. As long as there's something you like, you can use it at will, and I won't charge you any rent!"
Su Xing quickly said, "It doesn't have to be free. As long as the location and size are suitable, I can pay the normal rent."
Cao Yang said: "How can that be possible! How can I collect rent from my sister-in-law!"
Su Xing said awkwardly: "If you really don't want to charge me rent, I will be embarrassed to use it. Then I can only look for other office buildings..."
Cao Yang said with a cry of "Aiya", "Sister-in-law, you are too distant with me, aren't you?"
At this time, He Xu said, "Let's put it this way. The rent still needs to be paid. If you remember your sister-in-law's kindness, you can give her a discount and a better rate."
Cao Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine."
If he continues to say it's free, my sister-in-law will have to find another office building. Well, if she wants to pay rent, then let her. He will just ask them to charge less.
Su Xing smiled and said, "Thank you for helping me."
"Hey! Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? This is just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
He Xu poured tea for the three of them, raised his glass and said, "Even if we are friends, we still have to thank you. Let's use tea instead of wine and toast you a glass."
He and Cao Yang were both going to drive, so they didn't order any wine.
Su Xing also picked up the teacup.
Cao Yang quickly raised his teacup.
The three of them clinked their cups lightly and drank the tea.
After Cao Yang put down his teacup, he asked Su Xing, "When are you going to visit the office, sister-in-law?"
Su Xing calculated the time. She, Xueyan and Huang Wenwenming all had classes the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow was the National Day holiday.
She asked Cao Yang, "Are you going out during the National Day holiday?"
Cao Yang said: "During the holidays, there are people everywhere. I won't go out to play. I have time every day. Sister-in-law, you can contact me anytime."
"Then I'll contact you during the holidays."
"no problem!"
After finishing the serious business, the three of them started chatting about other topics.
Only then did Cao Yang realize that the food on the table seemed to be served a little too quickly!
He looked up and saw He Xu constantly using a serving chopstick to pick up food for Su Xing. He peeled the shrimps for her, picked out the bones of the fish, and chopped out the crabs, taking out the meat and roe. His movements were skillful and natural.
Cao Yang stared with wide eyes.
It turns out that this is how Brother Xu usually takes care of his sister-in-law!
He wanted to tell this scene to others, but who would believe it?
That is...can my sister-in-law eat so much food?
He observed for a while and found that she could really do it!
After the three of them finished their meal, there was nothing left on the huge table of food!
Cao Yang’s eyes were about to fall out!
He was puzzled. His sister-in-law looked well-proportioned. Where did she eat all the food?
Although he and Su Xing had met at a braised pork restaurant before and shared a table, she had almost finished her meal when he got there, and he hadn't realized she had such a good appetite.
Su Xing naturally noticed the way Cao Yang looked at her. She felt a little embarrassed but maintained a calm expression.
Actually, she originally wanted to save face and eat less, but He Xu kept picking up food for her, so she ate a lot of food without realizing it. Later, she simply stopped pretending and ate seriously to live up to the delicious food.
As for what Cao Yang thinks of her, it doesn’t matter. If they get along as normal friends, he will find out sooner or later.
The three of them finished lunch and came out of the restaurant.
Cao Yang's expression was still dazed.
Su Xing and He Xu said goodbye to Cao Yang.
"We're leaving now. Bye."
"I'll contact you when I have time."
"Oh oh." Cao Yang came back to his senses, "Brother Xu, sister-in-law, bye."
……
After Su Xing, He Xu and Cao Yang separated, the young couple went shopping in a nearby supermarket.
They were going to visit the He family's old house later, so it would be bad to go there empty-handed, so they prepared to buy some things.
They didn't buy much, just picked out some premium fruits and two boxes of supplements.
After coming out of the supermarket, the two rushed to the He family's old house.
After more than forty minutes, they arrived at the destination.
Su Xing had been here once, but she was still a little nervous when she entered this heavily guarded gate again.
He Xu shook his girlfriend's hand and said, "Only grandpa and grandma are here, no one else."
"Well, I know."
The two arrived at the gate of the villa and just as they parked the car, a nanny and a guard came over, greeted them with a smile, and helped them with their things.
Old Mrs. He was waiting at the door.
He Xu and Su Xing walked over and greeted her.
"grandmother."
"Hello, Grandma He~"
"Okay." Old Mrs. He held the hand of her future granddaughter-in-law and said with a smile, "Xiao Xing, come in quickly."
Several people entered the house.
Old Mrs. He looked at the things the nanny brought in and said, "You guys just come if you want to. Why do you always buy so many things?"
He Xu smiled and said, "It was Xiao Xing who picked them all."
Mrs. He said, "Xiao Xing, come here in the future and treat it as your own home. Don't spend so much money. You are still a student."
Su Xing smiled shyly, "Grandma He, I understand."
She glanced at He Xu. In fact, everything she bought today was paid for by He Xu, but at the moment, she didn't want to emphasize this matter.
Mr. He was still sitting on the sofa, pretending to read the newspaper.
He Xu and Su Xing walked over and greeted him.
"Grandpa, Xiaoxing and I are back."
"Hello, Grandpa He."
Mr. He put down the newspaper in his hand and nodded to his two grandchildren, "Well, you're back? Sit down."
He Xu pulled Su Xing and sat opposite Grandpa He.
