The third day of the Chinese New Year.
Little Sheep Hotpot Restaurant.
Brushing mutton is a good choice in winter.
Mutton warms the stomach and replenishes the body, stimulates appetite and strengthens the body. It can protect against cold and nourish the body. It is most suitable for consumption in winter.
At one of the tables, two men and two women were chatting and laughing.
Su Zelin and the honest couple had their first annual holiday dinner here.
Lu Haoran and Xiao Yanzi only rushed back from Lin'an three days before New Year's Eve. Xiao Yanzi was also very tired after taking tutoring classes for so long without any rest, so they did not get together before the New Year.
After so many days, Xiaoyanzi has been resurrected with full health.
If we don’t get together soon, we will have to go to Lin’an again, because the post-New Year cram school will start on the fifth day of the New Year and we will continue to enter the crazy money-making mode.
"We have almost prepared the funds for renovation. How about we wait until you come back after the New Year and start the renovation?"
While consuming the hot mutton, Xiaoyanzi made a suggestion.
Previously, when they followed Su Zelin to buy Qiantang Mansion, the mansion exceeded their budget and the down payment increased a lot, resulting in insufficient money for decoration.
Although she was eager to move into the new house as soon as possible, Xiaoyanzi didn't want to ask her family for help or ask Su Zelin to borrow money, so she patiently made money for a few more months until after the Chinese New Year.
"I don't mind, anytime is fine."
The gangster acted in a domineering tone like a wealthy man and put a piece of mutton into Qin Shiqing's bowl. In return, the girl gave him a sweet smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, I was just chatting with you guys about serious matters, why are you already showing off your affection?"
Xiaoyanzi was not convinced: "Haoran, let's come too, ah!"
Seeing his girlfriend opening her mouth, Lu Haoran quickly took a piece of mutton from the pot and put it into her mouth.
As a result, the next moment the little swallow jumped up like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on.
"Oh, it's so hot, you're so stupid, can't you just blow it?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
The honest man quickly put down his chopsticks, tore a tissue and gave it to his girlfriend, and kept apologizing.
Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing both laughed.
"Dog food is risky, be careful when spreading it around!"
The gangster's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Little Swallow, please stop bullying the rats, okay?"
Qin Shiqing speaks to the honest man.
"Lu Haoran, tell me, did I bully you?"
Xiaoyanzi Carina glared with her eyes wide open.
"No, no, you just taught me and made me better."
The honest man smiled innocently.
In his heart, beating is love and scolding is care.
The gangster was speechless and kept shaking his head.
A dog that licks the boot doesn’t get a house!
But when Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, and the one being beaten felt quite happy, so there was nothing I could do about it.
If Lu Haoran had some desire to establish himself as a husband, he could still help.
"What is your biggest wish when decorating your house?"
Xiaoyanzi's anger came and went quickly, and she forgot about it in an instant and returned to the topic of decoration.
"I want to plant more flowers and plants, especially roses. When I return home, I will feel like I am in nature. That would be the most comfortable thing."
There was a faint smile in Qin Shiqing's beautiful eyes, as if she had seen that beautiful scene.
Xiaoyanzi was quite familiar with her best friend's preferences, so she was not surprised by the answer and turned to Hunzi.
"Su Zelin, what about you?"
"I want a big bathtub, the kind that can accommodate two people."
The gangster chuckled.
The two girls' faces turned red instantly.
They all heard the hidden meaning in Su Zelin's words.
Only the honest man still looked puzzled: "Zelin, why do you need such a big bathtub? Is it to make it easier to stretch your arms and legs and feel more comfortable?"
"To some extent, you can say that."
Su Zelin shrugged.
"To some extent?"
The honest man muttered to himself, wondering why Zelin liked to play riddles so much.
"Alright, alright, Haoran, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he is not serious!"
Xiaoyanzi quickly changed the subject to prevent her boyfriend from being poisoned by Su Zelin.
When he just graduated from high school, this bastard took Haoran to the Internet cafe to watch porn movies. Fortunately, after college, I became Haoran's girlfriend and disciplined him well, so he didn't go astray.
Hey, why did I use this idiom...
…
On the fifth day of the New Year, Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran returned to Lin'an, while Su Zelin, Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan left Jianglan on the seventh day because they had to go back to work on the eighth day.
This continued until Xiaoyanzi's winter vacation cram school course was over, and then the couple found a decoration company.
The Lantern Festival has passed by this time, and even the students who finish their holidays the latest have returned to school. The Spring Festival is basically over, and there is no longer any festive atmosphere.
For Xinshiji, this year there is a difficult task - to develop town-level markets.
The goal is to open stores in nearly 20,000 towns across the country within two years, which is no easy task.
The first thing to solve is the funding problem, or the old way - loan.
The market valuation of New Century has been rising steadily. As long as the loans are not too excessive, there will be no problem. The presidents of several major banks also nodded in agreement before the New Year.
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the day after the Lantern Festival.
night.
China Central Place, Room 1502.
Looking through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw the entire ancient city of Lin'an was brightly lit. The signs of countless shops were shining brightly in the night. Neon lights were dotted in every corner of the city like colorful gems, and intertwined with the stars in the night sky, like a magnificent painting.
Nanako sat in front of the bar. The central air conditioning made the whole room warm as spring. She was only wearing a thin silk nightgown. Her snow-white legs were crossed. Her scallion-like fingertips held a crystal glass. The deep red wine swayed gently in her palm. She looked very leisurely.
Nanako is a person who knows how to enjoy life. As long as conditions permit, she will never treat herself badly in material life.
Luo Xi, the good sister on the opposite side, was a little uneasy.
"Ah Xi, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about something?"
Nanako took a sip of wine, put down the crystal glass in her hand and asked.
"Ah, no more."
Coming back to her senses, the class beauty quickly shook her head.
Nanazi saw that she was not sincere and said, "Come on, Ah Xi, we are friends. If you have any troubles, you can tell me anytime if I can help you."
"Well, it's actually a happy trouble."
Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her best friend, Luo Xi finally spoke frankly.
"Actually, I was thinking about the loan agency business that Hengying Finance provided to New Century. It's already the Lantern Festival, but why is there no news at all? The boss said that there would be good news soon after the New Year holiday."
Luo Xi had been full of anticipation for this year. However, after a week after the holiday, there was still no news. The class beauty couldn't hold back and even began to fall into anxiety.
Su Zelin painted a big picture for her.
It is no exaggeration to say that Hengying’s financial starting point in the blueprint is a dream.
If anything goes wrong, it will be a big blow to Luo Xi.
"Hey, so that's what you're worried about!"
Nanako giggled.
"Ah Xi, you are worrying too much! When has the boss ever let you down? When has he ever failed to do what he promised you?"
"That's right!"
Luo Xi nodded.
The class monitor has always been cynical and cheerful since his freshman year, but he is actually very steady and will not make promises without being sure.
"That's right!"
After a pause, Nanazi continued, "What's more, the boss has introduced you to all the senior leaders of the relevant departments of the financial company. It is enough to show that he is very concerned about the financial company you opened. It is a foregone conclusion that he will act as an agent for New Century to make the loan. You can rest assured."
"Well, I shouldn't doubt the boss's ability."
Luo Xi cheered up.
"However, this loan involves hundreds of millions of dollars. I feel like I'm dreaming, so it doesn't seem real!"
"Ah Xi, this isn't a simple matter. If you're really worried, why don't you just call and ask?"
Nanako shrugged and said no, Sister Li.
"How can I ask that? Wouldn't that be like questioning the boss? Besides, it would seem like I'm urging him on, which is not good."
Having said that, Luo Xi picked up the latte cup and took a sip of the coffee he had ground himself from beans. Immediately, his lips and tongue were filled with the rich aroma.
Compared with other drinks, she still prefers coffee, but occasionally she will accompany Nanako to drink a couple of glasses of red wine or champagne.
Nanako smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? What's your relationship? Who are you talking to? Anyway, I always tell him directly if I have any problems!"
Luo Xi thought to herself, can you be the same
The boss and I have never slept together. At most, we can be considered good friends and partners. There is still a difference between us and the person you sleep with.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Along with the crisp unlocking prompt tone, the door opened, and a tall and handsome figure appeared in the living room.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear!
It was Su Zelin who came.
As soon as the gangster entered the room, his eyes fell on the two women.
The central air conditioning is so powerful, Nana and Luo Xi are both dressed very coolly and pleasing to the eye.
After living with Nanazi for some time, the class beauty has also gotten used to wearing pajamas at home, and sometimes she no longer avoids Su Zelin when she comes over.
If I run to change my clothes as soon as the gangster shows up, it would be a bit too deliberate.
But facing Su Zelin's gaze, she felt a little embarrassed, and her delicate hands unconsciously played with the corner of her clothes.
Boss, why are you always staring at me
Nanako is still here...
Su Zelin withdrew his gaze, walked quickly to the bar, and sat down next to Nanazi.
"A glass of red wine."
Nanako's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard that.
This was the secret code between her and Su Zelin. If Hunzi had to go home at night, he would definitely not drink alcohol because he had to drive, but would choose tea instead.
Luo Xi also noticed this, and thought that the squad leader was really capable. He obviously had a wife, but he always managed to sneak out to Nanazi's side every now and then.
It's really hard to guard against such a smart person becoming a scumbag!
What's even worse is that this scumbag is very handsome and charming. He seems to have endless money in his hands and understands girls' minds very well. Even though she knows that he has a wife, her best friend can't help but fall into his gentle web and can't extricate herself.
Just as Luo Xi was thinking this.
Su Zelin spoke again: "Axi, if you are free, come to the New Century headquarters tomorrow morning. By the way, remember to bring the materials needed for the entrusted loan!"
"New Century is going to borrow money from the bank?"
Luo Xi was pleasantly surprised.
"Well, it's the amount we agreed on before," Su Zelin nodded and smiled, "If you're not free tomorrow, we can do it later!"
"Yes, I'm free tomorrow morning!"
Luo Xi was waiting for this sentence, how could he possibly postpone it.
She was so excited that she grabbed Su Zelin's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Boss. I was worried that the entrusted loan business would fail. I admit that I was narrow-minded and didn't trust you 100%!"
The next moment, the class beauty realized that she had lost her composure and quickly let go of her hand. At the same time, she secretly glanced at Nanako and found that her best friend ignored her, so she felt relieved.
At this time, Nanazi also poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Hunzi, smiling and saying, "Ah Xi, there is a saying that goes, 'You can always trust Su Zelin', this can't be wrong!"
"Hey, Mr. Ding, your little mouth is filled with honey today, how come you are so talkative?"
Pinching the smooth legs outside the nightgown, the gangster said in a teasing tone.
"It's really smeared with honey. Do you want to try it?"
Nanako gave him a wink.
Is it really okay for you two to act like this, treating me like an invisible person
Luo Xi thought with resentment, but dared not speak out despite being angry.
One is the best friend who takes him in, and the other is the boss who helps him get to the top.
I can’t afford to offend you! I can’t afford to offend you!
In order to prevent the two from continuing to flirt with each other and causing trouble for a miserable girl who has been single for twenty-two years, the class beauty decided to change the subject.
"As long as we can handle this entrusted loan from New Century, Hengying Finance will become famous in the industry. Boss, let's do a great job!"
"Haha, to be exact, you're the one who did the heavy lifting. I can only do the prelude, and that's about it. From now on, the main melody will be led by you!"
Su Zelin gave a friendly reminder, lest Ah Xi get too comfortable and think that he would always help her solve any problem.
"OK, Boss, I understand. Don't worry. One day, I will become a strong woman who can stand on my own like Nanako!"
Luo Xi's beautiful eyes sparkled with confidence.
As long as there is a stage, she believes she can shine.
What's more, the stage that the squad leader has built for himself is so big and so gorgeous!
