"I thought you were asleep." Xue Xue joked. "By the way, you said last time that you need to discuss the capital injection with other people. What is the result of the discussion?"
"The result of the discussion? I thought the materials had already been sent?"
In fact, even if we didn't discuss it at the time, it was okay. The company's funds were already on the verge of breaking the chain, but the experiments and assembly process that are still going on can't be stopped. Every day is a huge expense. Jiang Pingyang would say that only because he is still Those who join the team later as consultants must be more cautious in this matter.
But when Jiang Pingyang mentioned it, everyone passed it without any objection.
When you are forced to run by money, you have to put aside everything first.
"Oh, that's it." Xue Xue, who had known about this earlier, just asked casually, in order to make what she said next logically. "Brother Ping Yang, I want to tell you something."
"Um?"
"My dad wants to meet you."
Hearing this, Jiang Pingyang was stunned.
Meeting Xue Wangui, his mother's remarried husband, was something Jiang Pingyang had never thought about. He knew that Ding Rou didn't want her to disturb her new life.
Xue Xue felt the undulating breathing of the man on the other end of the phone even though he tried his best to keep it steady. He turned his head and guessed the reason.
Although Ding Rou doesn't care about Jiang Pingyang, it is obvious that Jiang Pingyang cares about his mother.
This can be a bit of a hassle.
After thinking for a while, Xue Xue had a new plan.
"Brother Ping Yang, before that, I want to invite you to have lunch together."
Xue Xue's voice was slow, and the transmission through the microphone was like a breeze blowing into the ears, bringing a coolness to the heart and spleen, and also calming down Jiang Pingyang's chaotic thoughts.
"Lunch?"
"Yeah, lunch." Although Jiang Pingyang didn't see Xue Xue, he could outline the way she was talking with a smile from the other person's tone. "Speaking of you, you can be considered my brother, but we haven't greeted and eaten in a serious manner. Isn't it weird?"
strangeness? Jiang Pingyang felt that Xue Xue who said so seemed a little more strange.
He should refuse, Jiang Pingyang thought.
Just like he should refuse Xue Wangui to meet him.
However, when the words came to the mouth, it seemed to be stuck, and it was difficult for the throat to make a sound, so Xue Xue was asked to speak first.
"The time and place can be decided for you." Xue Xue's voice was brisk, and every word she said was like a jumping note. "But first, I won't accept rejection."
The final time was decided by Jiang Pingyang, but the location was chosen by Xue Xue.
Jiang Pingyang originally thought that according to Xue Xue's growth background, the two should meet in a restaurant or a high-end restaurant, because it was just a meal, and Jiang Pingyang didn't care much.
Unexpectedly, Xue Xue chose a Chinese restaurant located in an alley in the urban area.
The red lanterns hang high, and although the area is not large, the quaint buildings still make passers-by stop.
When Jiang Pingyang arrived, Xue Xue was already waiting.
The light in the restaurant is goose-yellow, and the soft halo seems to have been coated with a layer of matte on the woman's face, making her whole person look like a figure in a landscape painting, surrounded by misty clouds and mist, she is independent from the world. .
It was difficult for Jiang Pingyang to explain what the emotions that surged out of his heart symbolized. He only knew that he stopped involuntarily, lest he would destroy the picture that seemed to be still in front of him.
"gentlemen?"
Hearing the movement, Xue Xue, who was studying the menu, raised her head. When she saw Jiang Pingyang, the smile on her face was as bright as a sunflower.
The clever smile is beautiful, the beautiful eyes are looking forward, and the eyes are flowing, looking forward to the brilliance.
Jiang Pingyang felt that his heart seemed to be hit by something, and there was a strange numbness all over his body.
Xue Xue thought that Jiang Pingyang didn't see him, so he waved at him.
This wave also swept away the sudden thoughts in the man's heart. After reorganizing his emotions, he walked to the corner seat where Xue Xue was.
"I ordered shrimp egg custard, sweet and sour cabbage, crispy fried meat rolls, and a pot of healthy soup." Xue Xue said, and handed the menu to Jiang Pingyang. "Look at what you want to eat."
After Jiang Pingyang took over the menu, he flipped the meaning and said. "That should be enough for us to eat?"
He is not a big eater. When he was a researcher, when he was busy, he often ordered takeaways or prepared instant noodles for a meal in ten minutes.
This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Pingyang's love affair always ends without success. Usually, the reason for the woman to break up is that he has no interest, or that he doesn't care enough about feelings, just like a cold experimental robot.
Jiang Pingyang has heard such words a lot, but he always feels that it is not a big deal. After all, everyone chooses to live a different way of life.
However, in front of Xue Xue, he rarely felt a little uncomfortable.
What Jiang Pingyang didn't realize was that he didn't want Xue Xue to feel that he was a boring person.
It's self-evident what it means when a man thinks this way in front of a woman.
"Then let's order another green onion roll?" Xue Xue only felt hungry, but did not notice the change in Jiang Pingyang's face. "The scallion rolls here are very salty and fragrant. I can eat three at a time."
When Xue Xue talked about eating, Jiang Pingyang thought it was very cute with her ecstatic expression.
The rigid face lines softened, and honey gradually dripped from the dark pupils.
In hindsight, Xue Xue, who had been talking at length but Jiang Pingyang didn't say a word, blushed embarrassedly. "Sorry, I'm so excited..."
"Nothing, I find it interesting."
"Really?" Xue Xue's beautiful phoenix eyes were open, and there was a little bit of broken light flickering in her head.
Jiang Pingyang nodded.
Xue Xue, who was affirmed, immediately smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Actually, I don't usually make such a noise."
"It's just that I can eat with Brother Heping Yang, I feel very happy."
Xue Xue said these two words very seriously, Jiang Pingyang listened to it, but felt that his heartbeat also missed two beats.
He felt that he should say something in response. However, his brain, which is usually full of mathematical formulas and full of arithmetic logic, seemed to have suddenly lost its function and was empty.
"I… "
"I think I seem to like Brother Ping Yang a little bit."
