Things were very calm between Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan, but Xiaoyanzi and Xiaoxuemei seemed to be incompatible from birth. Fortunately, there was someone between them. If they sat together, they would pull each other's hair and fight if they got emotional.
Whenever the two disagreed, they took the opportunity to mock each other and make all kinds of innuendos.
Xiaoyanzi's mouth is like a machine gun, and Huang Panpan is not a pushover either. The car was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder all the way, and sometimes Qin Shiqing, the middleman, had to come out to smooth things over.
Su Zelin didn't say much, he just played a DJ, turned up the volume, and swayed his body to the deafening howls.
Now no matter how loudly the two of them shouted, the other party couldn't hear them.
After listening to a few songs, Xiaoyanzi was a little overwhelmed.
"Hey, Su Zelin, could you please turn down the music?"
"What did you say?"
"Turn down the music!"
"What?"
Xiaoyanzi pointed directly at the car CD player, and Su Zelin, who pretended to be confused, turned down the volume.
"Why do you guys like to listen to such loud songs? They sound like ghosts screaming. Can't you listen to some more lyrical and beautiful songs?"
Xiaoyanzi complained.
"It's not that I like it, but the DJ can liven up your mood."
Su Zelin laughed.
Xiaoyanzi stopped talking. She was unhappy that she had an argument with Huang Panpan as soon as she got in the car, so she protested in this way.
Lu Haoran took the opportunity to change the subject: "Zelin is really amazing. You are only a sophomore and you can drive a car. You are the most promising one in our class two!"
When I first learned that New Century had provided Su Zelin with a business car, even honest people were shocked.
In this day and age, cars are too out of reach for ordinary people.
Lu Haoran thought that his good friend would have a car sooner or later, after all, he came from a wealthy family, but he didn't expect that it would not be bought by him.
"I've known for a long time that you were just keeping a low profile in high school. Sooner or later, you'll become something extraordinary!"
Huang Panpan straightened her chest a little and felt very proud of Su Zelin.
You are worthy of being the one I have my eyes on, but I still underestimated you.
Seeing this, Xiaoyanzi thought to herself, "What a proud person! You are acting like you are the one who is so special."
But this time she just secretly complained about it, but did not turn on the machine gun mode again.
Then again, I thought Su Zelin was just so-so in high school. I was only close to him because we were classmates in junior high and high school, and because of my good sister Qin Shiqing's relationship. At that time, I thought he was not worthy of Qin Shiqing. Who would have thought that Su Zelin's momentum would be completely unstoppable after college, and even Qin Shiqing had to compete with others for him.
Su Zelin is so handsome, good at talking, bold and careful, and multi-talented. Now he is the manager of a large enterprise and is equipped with a business car. There must be more than one Huang Panpan who likes him in the Finance College. Shi Qing must have a headache.
Therefore, sometimes it may not be a good thing if the boy you like is too outstanding.
Thinking of this, Tang Yan's gaze couldn't help but drift to the honest man in the co-pilot seat.
Lu Haoran is much more ordinary, but because of this, he will be very loyal to the girl he likes and will never have any other thoughts. If you marry him, you will probably listen to your wife in everything and will take the initiative to hand over your salary as soon as you get it.
Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi liked the little cutie more and more.
She was interested in Lu Haoran in this life, and to some extent, it had to be said that Su Zelin's negative example played a role.
"It only took a year to go from store manager to manager. Zelin, you've been promoted really fast. Maybe you can become a boss in the future."
Qin Shiqing said intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Zelin was puzzled and always felt that Qin Shiqing had seen something.
But Yan Qiuwen promised me not to tell her, so maybe it was just a guess.
"Qin Shiqing, I'll take your advice then, hehe."
Su Zelin pressed a button on the CD, and the disc popped out, replacing it with a soothing and lyrical campus song.
Will you remember tomorrow
The diary you wrote yesterday
Will you still miss me tomorrow
You who used to love crying the most
The teachers can't remember
You who can't guess the question
…
As the song came out of the loudspeaker, everyone in the car fell silent.
This is the song "You, My Deskmate" which is familiar to all students.
Lao Lang's low voice with a hint of sadness seems to have magic, just like a bottle of old wine, the older it gets, the better the flavor. Even for older listeners, occasionally hearing it will evoke the youthful feelings in their hearts.
Singers of this era still rely on their strength to speak. As the lead singer of the first college band "Bronze", Lao Lang actually looks quite ordinary, even a little ugly, but the songs he sang represent the youth of a generation.
In addition to "You, My Deskmate", other good works such as "My Upper Bunk" and "No Regrets in Youth" are also quite classic. He likes to sing songs about the end of youth, but they can make people cherish those unforgettable campus days and green memories even more.
In later generations, it was only 300 kilometers from Lin'an to Jianglan by highway, but the route is not so straight now. Many times you have to turn to go to other towns, and the whole journey is nearly 400 kilometers.
We didn't drive fast on normal roads, and we encountered a section of road construction that was bumpy and our speed dropped to 30 mph, so the journey was a little longer than we had imagined.
Qin Shiqing didn't get carsick.
Some people just get carsick on buses.
The bus has a high chassis and is prone to bumps. In addition, the smell inside is so bad that some people will be traumatized by riding on the bus once. They will feel uncomfortable in every way and feel dizzy for no reason. In severe cases, they may even vomit. This has both physical and psychological effects.
For some reason, riding in a car is very tiring. Even if you sit there and do nothing, you will still feel tired.
At first, Xiaoyanzi could still toss and turn for a while, but soon she became too lazy to talk. By noon, several girls fell asleep. They were used to taking a nap at school, and this is when their biological clocks would start to take effect.
They didn't know how long it was like this until the car suddenly stopped and they woke up.
"Senior, are we there yet?"
Huang Panpan woke up rubbing her eyes.
When I looked out the window, the scene was not my familiar hometown, but an unknown small town.
Santana stopped in front of the hotel.
"No, but I'm hungry. Let's eat something first!"
Qin Shiqing took out her cell phone and saw that it was already afternoon.
Several people got out of the car. Xiaoyanzi and Qin Shiqing went to the bathroom. After they were away from others, Tang Yan couldn't help it.
"Shi Qing, why are you so kind to Huang Panpan? Don't you see that she is very arrogant? She looks like she is asserting her sovereignty. People who don't know the truth would think that Su Zelin is her boyfriend!"
It's a bit like the queen is not anxious, but the maid is.
"Come on, Xiaoyanzi, Junior Sister Panpan is just a child with a bad temper. Why do you have to make such a fuss with her?"
Qin Shiqing is quite open-minded.
"You are too careless. Huang Panpan is already a college student, but she is still a child!"
Little Swallow looked down at her own hemisphere.
My development is not even as good as that of a child, so I might as well find a piece of tofu and hit myself to death.
"Okay, go to the bathroom!"
Qin Shiqing took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, stuffed it into Xiaoyanzi's hand, and pushed her into the bathroom.
Things with childhood sweethearts must be consensual and mutual, but Boss Su doesn't mean to do that and there's nothing he can do about it.
Qin Shiqing was a little helpless. It's not like she had not hinted at it, but the other party was like a piece of wood, or pretending to be confused. It's impossible for a girl like her to take the initiative to confess her feelings, that would be too unreserved.
In fact, Qin Shiqing was also very depressed.
Her conditions are not bad, and there were many suitors around her in high school and college. But she happened to meet a guy who would never eat grass in his own yard. She has no choice but to let nature take its course.
The food in this small restaurant tastes pretty good. In his previous life, before the expressway from Lin'an to Jianglan was opened, Su Zelin drove the provincial road through this town and often came here to eat. The secret roast chicken there is particularly fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and your mouth is full of oil when you take a bite.
The boss made the restaurant famous by making roast chicken for more than 20 years, and it even became an Internet celebrity restaurant. Many bosses in later generations even came here to visit. Su Zelin once took the highway to go home and brought Qin Shiqing here for a meal.
“This roast chicken is delicious!”
The three girls were all hungry. Because they had to take a car, they didn't dare eat too much in the morning for fear of getting nausea. But they found that everything was okay. Su Zelin had good driving skills and knew how to take care of the girls' feelings. He drove smoothly and rarely stopped suddenly or accelerated abruptly.
The fragrant roast chicken whetted everyone's appetite and they all started to devour it.
Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan didn't care about their manners anymore, their little mouths were shiny with oil from eating.
After the meal, we continued on the road and drove for more than two hours before finally returning to Jianglan.
My junior high school girl lived closer to Lijing Garden, so I sent her home first.
The Santana stopped at the gate of the community. Huang Hongbo and Li Juan were already waiting at the gate.
The couple doted on their daughter, and this was the first time the little princess returned home after going to college. Although she didn't have much luggage, just a trolley case, they had to go out to greet her in person.
Su Zelin got out of the car to take out Huang Panpan's luggage and said hello to the two elders.
"Zelin, thank you for taking care of Panpan along the way."
Li Juan's name has changed.
She had long since stopped objecting to her daughter's relationship with Su Zelin. Now that Su Zelin was so successful, it seemed as if the mother-in-law was liking her son-in-law more and more.
"Haha, it's okay, Auntie. It's on the way anyway. If you have nothing else to say, just leave first!"
"Okay, take your time, come to our house when you have time!"
While saying goodbye to Su Zelin, Li Juan's gaze fell on the back row.
Huang Panpan learned that among the people who went home together this time, one was Su Zelin’s childhood sweetheart, and also her daughter’s love rival.
Her husband once said that because of her existence, Su Zelin might not look down on his own daughter.
Li Juan has never been convinced. She wanted to see if this girl had supernatural powers and could win the little princess of the Huang family.
The rich woman saw Tang Yan at first sight.
It can't be this woman. She has no face, no figure, high cheekbones and thin lips. She looks like a shrew. Su Zelin doesn't have such bad taste.
His eyes stayed on Xiaoyanzi's face for less than half a second before passing over her.
When she met Qin Shiqing, Li Juan finally understood why her husband would help others to become more successful and destroy his own prestige.
This girl is as pretty and has a figure as her own daughter. Although she does not have the noble air of the little princess, she is also a rare beauty from a small family, and she exudes a sense of tranquility and confidence from the inside out.
It's hard for a boy not to like a girl like this.
It was not until the Santana drove away that Li Juan withdrew her gaze, with a hint of worry on her face.
No wonder Panpan regards her as her biggest rival in love. This emotional competition is likely to be very fierce.
The scoundrel that he once looked down upon is now in great demand.
Jianglan is just a small place. A quarter of an hour later, Su Zelin had already sent Lu Haoran and Xiao Yanzi to their doorsteps respectively, and then drove the Santana and Qin Shiqing home.
Although Liuzhi Lane is small, it can still accommodate two cars in and out. Besides, the cars running in the alley are all residents nearby. There are only a few small cars in the whole alley, and not every household owns a motorcycle, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams.
After driving the Santana into the yard and getting out of the car, Zhao Lixia and Su Jianjun came out of the hall. They heard the sound of the engine.
"Son, you are such a fool. The computer store provided a company car without even telling mom and dad!"
Zhao Lixia started to talk as soon as she saw Su Zelin.
He and Su Jianjun learned the news from Liu Sufen, otherwise they would not have known about it.
"Mom, what's there to say? This is the company's car, not mine."
Su Zelin responded casually as he opened the trunk.
"What's wrong with the company car? Many leaders drive company cars!"
Mother Su smiled and was very happy.
Who says our son is incapable? He has become a manager of a large company, and his salary is surprisingly good.
Others may not be able to drive a car even if they work hard all their lives!
"Santana is good, durable and has plenty of space!"
Su Jianjun commented in the tone of an expert.
Even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen a pig walk.
Many units in the small town use Santana as their official cars. Several of Su Jianjun's business friends also drive this car. He often hears others praising this car. Su Jianjun also has a good impression of Santana, so he immediately opened the door and sat in to experience it.
Leather seats, mahogany interior, and a full business atmosphere all hit the aesthetic tastes of middle-aged people.
Su Jianjun was actually a little envious and jealous.
I haven't even driven the car yet, but this guy drove it first!
"Dad, how about you go for a walk?"
Su Zelin handed over the key with a smile.
Su Jianjun was overjoyed. After his son went to school, he took the time to get a C license, and now he has it.
However, before he could get the key, Zhao Lixia snatched it away.
"I can't give it to your dad. He just got the license and he doesn't have the skills!"
Tigress scowled.
"How about this, I'll sit in the passenger seat and watch!"
Su Zelin made a suggestion and acted like a filial son for once.
This naughty boy can be quite sensible sometimes, it's worth it that I gave birth to him and raised him!
Dad Su was touched and forgave his son for his previous bad behavior.
But it's still useless.
"Son, you've been driving all day. Take a good rest first. It won't be too late to take your dad for a stroll another day!"
Zhao Lixia refused to give in because she felt sorry for Su Zelin.
The bastard shrugged.
Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but there’s nothing I can do with Mom standing in the way.
"Oh well!"
Even though Su Jianjun was itching to do so, he had to give up. However, he felt like he was rooted to the driver's seat and was unwilling to leave.
Every man has a dream of owning a small car. Su Jianjun was also young once and was also a wind-chasing boy back then.
So as soon as he made some money from his business, he bought a small Jialing. In the 1990s, this thing was very expensive and could almost be exchanged for half a piece of land.
But after driving the Jialing for so many years, it could no longer satisfy the desire of a middle-aged man who pursues fashion. Especially after making a fortune in the B-share market, Su Jianjun felt that he also needed a car.
What is the purpose of making money in life? Isn't it to realize your dreams and enjoy life? Can you take money to your grave
Su Jianjun does not have the old-fashioned idea of many parents who try desperately to leave money for their children for fear that their children will starve to death a hundred years later. Anyway, he thinks that money should be spent and used as needed, and when the children grow up, they will naturally have their own world.
What's more, his son is a smart man, and Su Jianjun never worries that he can't make money.
What we should worry about are other things, such as whether he will bring back several daughters-in-law.
"You guys are back!"
At this time, the two elders of the Qin family also came over from next door.
"Hey, Zelin, this is the car the company gave you. It looks really high-end. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Liu Sufen was a little envious.
Although the Qin family and the Su family are neighbors and have a good relationship, the Su family started business earlier than theirs and are richer. Qin's mother originally thought that this generation could not compare with the neighbors, but it was different for her daughter's generation. Even though Qin Shiqing went to a prestigious university, she was still far ahead of the neighbor's kid who went to a second-tier university.
Although she was envious, Liu Sufen was not very jealous.
Anyway, the future sons-in-law are all our own people.
"Not bad, 130,000 when it lands."
Su Zelin said lightly.
Although she knew that cars were not cheap, especially foreign brands like Volkswagen, Liu Sufen was still a little surprised.
The cost of building this house, including the land, materials, labor, and decoration, was only over 100,000 yuan.
This car is a movable building!
Qin Daqing also got into the passenger seat and studied the car with Su Jianjun, a middle-aged man who was chasing the trend.
It took a long time before I reluctantly walked out, and I had the idea of buying a car in my mind.
But the problem is how to convince the tigress.
"Sufen, Daqing, you and Shiqing come over for dinner tonight."
Zhao Lixia was in a good mood and bought a lot of vegetables today.
"Okay, we'll come back later!"
The two elders of the Qin family were not polite. After all, they were old neighbors and often had dinner together.
Qin Shiqing dragged the suitcase into her boudoir and was taking out the things inside when Liu Sufen followed in.
"Daughter, how far have you and Zelin progressed?"
Mother Qin asked with a smile.
"Mom, what are you talking about!"
Qin Shiqing said coquettishly.
"Hey, kid, what's there to be embarrassed about? You're already in college, a grown-up girl, and your parents aren't that conservative. Besides, you and Zelin grew up together, childhood sweethearts, so you're a perfect match. Mom doesn't want you to marry far away! Shiqing, Zelin is a pretty good kid. During the winter vacation, why don't you take the initiative?"
"I know, I know, Mom, I want to change my clothes!"
Without further ado, Qin Shiqing asked her mother to leave and closed the door.
My mom is really something. She actually lets a girl chase me. How can she say such a thing
Liu Sufen outside the door disagreed.
In the past, Qin's mother would certainly not let Qin Shiqing take the initiative when it came to Su Zelin.
But times are different now. Today’s kids next door are on the verge of success and are about to make it big. That’s a different story.
It seems that we will never be able to defeat our neighbors in this lifetime.
But it doesn’t matter, since we can’t win, we can just send our daughter to marry!
…
