Chapter 142: carpet

Views:

Luo Jiangjing left Shanghai and went abroad, and Bai Luochuan stretched out his hands and feet to work hard. As soon as the contract was signed, he went to Xinjiang without stopping.

Not only was he anxious, Lin Youcai was also anxious.

No matter how fast the formalities are handled, they still have to be done one by one. Lin Youcai is now holding on to this life-saving straw and dares not relax for a moment. He is watching here personally and naturally refuses to let Bai Luochuan leave. He only recognizes that the person handing over to him is the prince of the Luo family.

Bai Luochuan wanted to take some time to go back to Beijing as the end of the month was approaching, but he couldn't spare the time. He called Mi Yang to tell him, and he responded as usual, saying that he would make up for it when he came back. But the more he obeyed, the more uncomfortable Bai Luochuan felt. He was experienced in doing things, but after all, he was young and passionate. After finishing the things at hand, he only thought about that person.

The day before Mi Yang's birthday, Bai Luochuan called Mi Yang several times, but he didn't answer the phone. He just sent a text message in response: "I'm a little busy. I'll talk to you later."

Bai Luochuan immediately sent him a text message asking him: "Where are you?"

The other end just replied with a smiling face and said nothing more.

Bai Luochuan called again, but the phone was turned off. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind: Is Mi Yang coming over

It's hard to find a place for him to live here. Mi Yang is coming here now, and his plane should land in the afternoon, so he will definitely come to the company to find him... Just thinking about this, my heart can't help but beat faster.

Although it was just an idea, Bai Luochuan immediately stayed in the office and did not leave. He stood up and took two books from the bookcase and placed them on the table. He tried to look casual and sat down in a pretentious manner. He asked someone to clean the office three times in the morning, and even then he took out a pair of white gloves to find many problems, wishing to clean all the gaps.

At noon, Zhao Haisheng and his two brothers came with the documents and took him to lunch.

Zhao Haisheng, who was in his early twenties, was already 1.96 meters tall, six centimeters taller than Bai Luochuan. He was so muscular that he looked like an iron tower when he walked on the road. Even in a black suit, he was still scary. He had a good reputation in the branch company. Everyone knew that he was brought in by the prince. Especially when Zhao Haisheng stood by, he easily gave people the impression of a rough warrior. In addition, he always had a smile on his face, so people didn't think he was difficult to approach. He was also quiet. Zhao Haisheng rarely spoke in the company. He was a little stuttering. He didn't say anything except what Bai Luochuan said when it was not necessary. He heard a lot of gossip, and he would share some of it with his boss with relish.

His cousin Fu Qisheng has also recovered in the past two years, but his body is just like an ordinary person, even thinner. Compared with Zhao Haisheng, this taciturn guy looks like a gloomy pretty boy. He is much more simple-minded than Zhao Haisheng. When Zhao Haisheng followed Bai Luochuan to trip up those people and set traps, Fu Qisheng was still studying with Mi Yang in school!

But judging from their faces, the two men are opposites. Most people are friendly to Zhao Haisheng, but few talk to Fu Qisheng.

The two of them knocked on the door and entered the office. Zhao Haisheng took the documents and briefly explained the situation of the car dealership. Everything went smoothly.

Zhao Haisheng said: "This, this is the previous order, the last 70 Carter 320 forklifts, the money has been remitted."

Bai Luochuan checked it and asked him again: "Did they say anything over there?"

Zhao Haisheng grinned and said, "No, the price we offered is much lower than the market price, and we have a contract. In fact, if we were not in a hurry to use the money this time, we would have lost... We have lost, and we have the relationship with Chief Bai. We promise to be responsible to the end. They are so happy."

Bai Luochuan had been looking for a buyer for more than a year in advance. Luo's first business was with an engineering construction company in Pengcheng. This time, by coincidence, there was a rare metal mine here, which was also in charge of the other party. Because it involved military industry, it was always claimed to be a "jade" mine. The equipment was also imported from abroad for high-power engineering vehicles. Bai Luochuan's project was a western line project. Both sides had heard of each other. He brought people to take a look. When they discussed the sale of engineering vehicles, they naturally hit it off.

Luo Jiangjing's news was still a little late. Bai Luochuan not only transported a batch of cars out, but there were only a few cars left by Luo's family, and they were gradually exchanged for liquid funds. It was precisely because he had money in his hands that he was not panicked and could safely catch the big fish Lin Youcai.

If Luo Jiangjing were here, he probably wouldn't know whether to be angry or laugh. In less than two years, the Luo family's prince had been able to "cover the sky with one hand" and keep the news secret without a single leak. This was considered a skill.

Zhao Haisheng glanced at the time and asked carefully, "Brother Bai, it's time for dinner. I'll pick you up to eat. How about dinner?"

Bai Luochuan was still looking down at the documents. He didn't even raise his head when he heard her say, "No, you guys go ahead. I'll just have a quick bite in the office."

Zhao Haisheng and Fu Qisheng looked at each other and winked at each other. Fu Qisheng had no choice but to say, "There's a new barbecue restaurant nearby that's pretty good. How about trying it?"

Bai Luochuan said: "No."

Zhao Haisheng was reluctant to leave. In addition to working with Bai Luochuan, he also worked as a bodyguard and took care of some chores. Bai Luochuan treated them well, and he wanted to repay him tenfold. Although their young boss was arrogant and ruthless, he also had the temper of a young master. He was very picky about many things, but he refused to hire a female secretary - nor a male secretary. He let Zhao Haisheng take care of all his requests.

Zhao Haisheng felt that he had many responsibilities and it was not good for him to leave like this. After a few words, Bai Luochuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the sofa across the office, frowning and asked him: "Are there any new sofas in the warehouse?"

Zhao Haisheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "There should be. I'll go ask."

Bai Luochuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go ask now. I want a brand new one. Take out this used one and throw it away. Oh, and get a new cashmere carpet."

Zhao Haisheng responded and walked out with a confused look on his face. Fu Qisheng, who was stronger, also went over to help.

The Zhao brothers did nothing else for the whole afternoon, so they stayed with the young boss to get him a new sofa. Bai Luochuan saw that the desk was not well placed, so he asked them to change the direction, and then laid the new cashmere carpet. The carpet was very soft, with the unique ethnic minority characteristics of this place, and the colors were mainly white and gold, which softened the whole office a lot.

After Bai Luochuan settled them down, he waved goodbye and let them go. He himself had no intention of leaving.

Zhao Haisheng had no choice but to leave first. After walking a distance, Fu Qisheng asked him in a low voice: "Brother, is the young boss waiting for someone?"

Zhao Haisheng said: "I think so too. I don't know who will come this afternoon, but he won't want to leave for even a minute."

Fu Qisheng thought for a moment: "Client?"

Zhao Haisheng still shook his head: "No, I don't know, it's almost decorated like a home."

The matter on their side was basically settled. In theory, it was only necessary for Zhao Haisheng and Zhou Tong to take care of the formalities. However, Lin Youcai was worried. He had to confirm that Bai Luochuan was in Xinjiang before he could feel at ease. Usually, when Master Bai was upset and bored, he would go out for a walk, either to Zhou Teng's car dealership or to the nearby jade and antique market. He rarely stayed in the office.

Today is really abnormal.

Bai Luochuan calculated the time, checked the flights several times, and asked another driver from the company to go to the airport, but there was no news from the other side.

"Mr. Bai, I didn't see the person you were going to pick up. I was holding up the sign and there weren't many people on the flight..."

Bai Luochuan said: "Keep waiting, there is another flight at around five o'clock."

The driver agreed and hung up the phone.

Bai Luochuan had a feeling in his heart that Mi Yang was coming, so he was no longer in a hurry. He asked the driver to continue waiting at the airport while he continued waiting in the office.

He said this, but his body was honest. He couldn't help but glance at his watch to check the time. Minutes and seconds passed, and it seemed that Mi Yang would knock on the door and come in the next second.

There was a sudden knock on the door, with two "dong dong" sounds being heard.

Bai Luochuan was startled, and quickly stood up and looked towards the door with bright eyes: "Come in!"

The person who pushed the door open was also an acquaintance, but not the person Bai Luochuan was expecting. The light in his eyes dimmed a little, and he forced a smile and said, "Boss Wu, why did you come so suddenly without notifying me in advance? I didn't even have time to prepare tea."

Wu Shuang'an smiled and said cheerfully, "I just called the internal line downstairs, but it didn't go through. The secretary said he would come up to ask you, so why don't we go up together and see what Boss Bai is hiding here for?"

Bai Luochuan then noticed that the telephone line had fallen to the side. It must have been accidentally knocked off when Nuo was moved to another position at noon. He was worried about Mi Yang and didn't pay much attention to it.

Wu Shuang'an came to visit in person, and Bai Luochuan naturally greeted him politely. In business, harmony brings wealth, and more friends mean more paths. What's more, Wu Shuang'an became famous early and is also a senior in the circle.

Wu Shuangan sat down and chatted with him about his recent situation, and then talked about his own affairs: "I was about to leave a few days ago, but by chance, my precious daughter came back from abroad. She studied jewelry design and won several foreign awards. I am a rough man and don't know much about this. When she heard that I was in Xinjiang, she insisted on coming to take a look, saying that the jade here is very famous. Then I remembered the white jade from Hotan."

Bai Luochuan complimented dryly: "Your education is excellent."

Wu Shuang'an didn't respond. He turned the jade ring on his finger, shook his head and smiled, "Speaking of which, she asked me for a few pieces of seed material last year, and I sent someone to buy some for her to play with. After all, this is what I learned, and I have to give her what she wants. I went to the jade market this morning. Guess how much jade costs now?"

Bai Luochuan knew something about the purchase of engineering vehicles for the "Jade" mine, so he said calmly, "It depends on the grade. A kilogram of good ones should cost around 300,000."

"More than that, that was last year's price. Just the ones I asked about today, many have already exceeded 400,000 and are heading straight for 500,000. At this price, no wonder those who buy forklifts and excavators are going crazy, it's simply a huge profit." Wu Shuang'an sighed, then looked at Bai Luochuan across from him and smiled, "It's not just jade. There are more than 4,000 mining areas in Xinjiang, big and small, I actually forgot all of them. What project is not a project? Equipment is always needed, and one company can't handle it all. It takes some time and visiting more places will always yield something."

There is no wall that is impenetrable. Wu Shuang'an obviously knew about the sale of the construction vehicle, and he did not hide his appreciation and praised it highly.

Bai Luochuan didn't want to hide it. After all, in addition to the big ones from Luo's and Mr. Lin's, he also received a small number of engineering vehicles with better performance from other companies. Once this matter started, it would not be kept secret for long.

He said modestly: "It's just good luck, thanks to the elders in my family."

Wu Shuangan smiled and said, "You are quite capable, don't underestimate yourself. I think you are pretty good, but it's a pity that I only have one daughter." He rolled his eyes and asked, "Luochuan, are you free tonight? Uncle will treat you to a simple meal. It's rare for us to meet here, why don't we chat together?"

Bai Luochuan also smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to spoil your fun. I still have some things to do here. Why don't I treat you next time?"

Wu Shuang'an nodded in agreement, and before leaving he said to him: "Young people are too busy working. You should take care of your body. Don't overwork yourself, and go out for a walk more often." He said a lot and patted Bai Luochuan's arm. He was much more friendly than when they first met.

Bai Luochuan sent him out, and asked Zhao Haisheng to check where Wu Shuang'an had been in the past two days. When he learned that he had not been to Lin Youcai's place, he frowned and said, "What does this old fox mean? He is being too attentive for no reason. He also mentioned the land in Beijing to me a few days ago. This is such a coincidence. You should keep an eye on him and don't let him take advantage of it."

Zhao Haisheng nodded in response. Fu Qisheng next to him thought for a while and whispered, "I think he wants to introduce his daughter to you."

Bai Luochuan looked up at him and asked, "What did you say?"

Fu Qisheng said, "It's written in the books." Probably to increase his credibility, he brought up his own little master, "Mi Yangxiu compiled a set of Qing Dynasty picture books. I read them that day. Generally, when a rich man suddenly becomes enthusiastic about you and has a daughter at home, he wants to recruit a son-in-law."

Bai Luochuan looked at him coldly: "Don't I have any money?"

Fu Qi said stiffly: "That's not what I meant..."

Bai Luochuan said, "What books do you usually read with Mi Yang? Make a list and go buy them yourself. I want them on the table before I leave work." Seeing that Fu Qisheng was about to speak, he added, "If you say one more word, I'll ask you to copy them all. Why don't you go?"

Fu Qisheng ran away without saying a word.

Before leaving get off work, there were indeed several books of varying thicknesses placed on Bai Luochuan's desk. These were reprinted later, so they were not ancient books, but the names were all correct. Fu Qisheng was smart for once and only took the ones that were available. He kept silent about the ones he couldn't find. Anyway, Mi Yang had a lot of books on hand, and Bai Luochuan was not around, so he had no idea how many books he had read.

Bai Luochuan had been waiting in the office for a whole day and was in a bad mood, so he waved good-bye and told him to leave.

He stubbornly stayed in the office, turned on a floor lamp and flipped through the books Fu Qisheng had found, as if he wanted to see some overlapping traces. During this time, someone knocked on the door and asked quietly, "Boss Bai, it's late now, do you want to call a taxi to go back to the hotel?"

Bai Luochuan was awakened by his shouting and frowned, "No, go away and don't let anyone come up to disturb you."

The other party didn't dare to breathe and left immediately, closing the door before leaving.

Bai Luochuan stared at the book in his hand, but his mind was already flying far away.

He and Mi Yang have never been separated since childhood. The longest time they had not slept in each other's arms was the first month of high school. The two of them were separated by a wall in the dormitory. But even so, they still celebrated their birthdays together.

His brows furrowed even more tightly.

It was already night, if he had an early flight tomorrow, maybe he could go to school in the afternoon to meet and talk. But tomorrow's meeting with General Manager Lin and the sudden visit from the old fox Wu Shuang'an made him think more deeply.

Bai Luochuan was in a confused mood, and as he was thinking, he heard rustling noises at the door, as if someone was quietly pushing the door open and walking in.

Bai Luochuan said irritably: "You don't understand me, right? I said don't come..."

The person who came in was not afraid of him at all. He walked over and chuckled, "What should I do? I'm already here, and the flight my teacher booked for me won't be back until another week. I still want to get a free ticket."

Bai Luochuan looked up at him. His office was large and deserted. The only bright colors were the warm golden carpet that had been laid today and the man in front of him. Even though he was casually wearing a white T-shirt and washed blue jeans, he was as eye-catching as white jade in the dim light of the floor lamp. He had a smile on his face. When he leaned over and slowly approached, he could even see the dimple on one side of his cheek clearly.

"Bai Luochuan, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

Young Master Bai took a deep breath, pulled him into his arms, bent down and kissed him. The kiss was hot, urgent and fierce. After the initial fierceness, it slowly slowed down a bit. He held Mi Yang's tongue tip in his mouth and held his arms a little tighter than before, as domineering as ever.

Bai Luochuan kissed enough before he could slow down his heartbeat. He pinched Mi Yang's fingers and spoke to him slowly: "I also guessed that you would come today, and asked the driver to wait at the airport, but he never waited. How did you come?"

Mi Yang said: "I went to Urumqi with my teacher first. He had to go to a meeting. I asked for leave from my senior brother and others and came here by bus."

Bai Luochuan said, "No wonder I couldn't pick you up." But he immediately frowned and said, "You came here alone? You should have told me so I could have sent someone to pick you up. You traveled more than 200 kilometers with only a bag on your back..."

He had a serious expression, and every time he said something, Mi Yang raised his head and kissed his chin, and kept kissing until Master Bai lost all his temper. He lowered his head and kissed that sweet and naughty little mouth hard, biting his lips before saying, "Don't do it again."

Mi Yang moved slightly and said vaguely: "I am not comfortable like this."

Bai Luochuan said: "Why are you uncomfortable? You just like sitting on my lap."

This was quite unreasonable, and Mi Yang was amused by him. He reached down and fumbled around for a while, then pulled out a book: "This has been hurting me all the time. Hey, why are you reading a storybook too?"

Bai Luochuan was still looking at him, and he didn't move his eyes away as if he couldn't get enough. He stared at him and said, "I think it's quite interesting. Let's go find it and have a look."

Mi Yang flipped the book, leaned his head on his shoulder and laughed softly, "You're lying. I was watching at the door for a while, and you didn't turn the page."

Bai Luochuan kissed him and whispered, "Yes, I didn't look at it. I was thinking about you."

Kissing one after another, noses rubbing against each other, Bai Luochuan's tone softened as he said, "My mind is full of you, and I only think of you."

The clock rang twice, and Mi Yang looked up to see it, but Bai Luochuan put his hand on the back of his neck, kneading it gently until the bones of the person in his arms were softened. The kisses on his cheeks and forehead gradually increased, and finally landed lightly on his lips, pressed against one place, and whispered, "Happy birthday, little darling."

The words from her lips were so light, as soft as the fluttering wings of a butterfly flying by.

Mi Yang also smiled, held him close and kissed him.

Just this one sentence made his trip not in vain.

Mi Yang was a little tired after the long journey. Bai Luochuan didn't want him to stay in the office with him, so he took his hand and went downstairs to get the car and go back to the hotel.

Mi Yang struggled slightly twice in the corridor, trying to pull his hand out, but Bai Luochuan held it tightly, so he let him do it.

There is also a "Land Cruiser" downstairs in the company. Bai Luochuan is tall and prefers spacious off-road vehicles. He took the key and started it. Although he had just obtained his driver's license, he was very skilled in operating it.

Mi Yang was a little curious and asked him, "Is this car new?"

Bai Luochuan said, "No, Zhou Tong's brother sent me a car and asked me to drive it first. The other cars I have are too small and not as comfortable as this one." While driving, he said to Mi Yang, "I'll have someone enroll you in a driving school and get your driver's license."

Mi Yang responded. He got his driver's license in college in his previous life, so he was considered an experienced driver. However, the car that had always accompanied him was the second-hand Polo classic car at home. He had been driving it for many years and had a lot of feelings for the car.

Bai Luochuan pretended to ask him casually: "Do you have a favorite car? There seem to be a few good ones recently."
