Tong Xuelu went to the restaurant after handling the company's affairs, neither sooner nor too late.
To develop and occupy foreign markets, it is the most effective way to participate in various exhibitions when the Internet is not very developed.
She plans to participate in the Autumn Fair. Before that, she has to prepare a lot of things, products, packaging, and recruit foreign trade personnel. Many things are waiting for her to arrange.
When he came to the restaurant, Jiang Junli, the manager of the restaurant, greeted him: "Dong Tong, are you here?"
Tong Xuelv nodded: "your cousin and they are here?"
Jiang Junli nodded respectfully: "Come on, Comrade Fang is here too, now in the VIP room."
Tong Xuelu didn't expect that he would be the last to arrive, so he quickly walked over.
Opening the door of the VIP room, laughter came out—
"Jingyuan, how do you take care of it? I heard that after giving birth, your body will be out of shape, and your skin will develop freckles, but you haven't changed at all. Instead, you're younger."
Fang Jingyuan laughed stupidly: "You're the first to praise me, but I'm nothing, Xuelu is amazing, and she's like a girl after giving birth to twins, you'll know when you see it, others are The older she lives, the younger she becomes, and she is so capable, I really envy the dead."
"Really? Then I'll have to open my eyes and take a good look..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Baihui raised her head, just in time to see Tong Xuelu who pushed the door and walked in.
She was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she tugged at her red lips with lipstick, and said with a smile, "Xuelu, you are finally here! We were talking about you just now."
Tong Xuelv walked in while looking at her: "I'm sorry, the company has something to deal with, I'm late."
Jiang Baihui's appearance has become mature, with makeup on her face, bright lipstick, and her hair in big waves, she looks very aura.
She was wearing a long red dress that was just above the knees, showing off her slender figure perfectly.
Her dress is very avant-garde and fashionable in this era. In recent years, the reform and opening up, but many people wear skirts below the knee.
When Tong Xuelu was looking at Jiang Baihui, Jiang Baihui was also looking at her.
When she heard Fang Jingyuan say she was getting younger and more beautiful, she thought it was Fang Jingyuan who was flattering Tong Xuelv, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Tong Xuelu was wearing a long white dress that pinched the waist, her long black hair was draped behind her back, she had pearl earrings in her ears, her lips were not red but her eyebrows were not drawn but green, she looked elegant and moving.
Fang Jingyuan is right, Tong Xuelu is more beautiful and younger than before. She dressed up specially today, but at this time, compared with Tong Xuelu, she feels that she looks deliberate and vulgar.
Jiang Baihui's eyes flashed, and she smiled, "I'm not late, the time is just right, and you are a busy person, so it's understandable to be late."
Tong Xuelu glanced at her and smiled at Yan Yan, as if the latter sentence was just a joke, and there was no yin and yang strangeness.
When Liang Tianyi saw her come in, he stood up and said, "Hello, Comrade Tong, long time no see."
Tong Xuelu looked at him and smiled, "Long time no see, welcome you two back to China!"
"thanks!"
Compared with the enthusiastic Jiang Baihui, Liang Tianyi looked much calmer.
Tong Xuelu took a seat beside Fang Jingyuan, glanced at the table and said, "Why don't you order anything? Try to order whatever you want, you're welcome."
As she spoke, she handed the menu to Jiang Baihui and Liang Tianyi.
Liang Tianyi refused twice, but he did not refuse, so he had to order a vegetarian dish.
Jiang Baihui ordered one meat dish and one dessert, and Fang Jingyuan ordered two meat dishes. Although it was enough for four people, Tong Xuelu still ordered old chicken ginseng soup and steamed fish.
There are fish, meat, vegetables, desserts and fruits, and the table is full, which is enough to show the enthusiasm and generosity of the host.
Fang Jingyuan was speechless and said, "As expected of the big boss, he is really rich and rich. It seems that I am right to come here to eat rice."
Tong Xuelu gave her a sideways glance: "Why, I have a lot of money. Although this banquet is in my restaurant, we will share the cost equally."
Fang Jingyuan screamed strangely: "Wow, I praised you for being generous and you slapped yourself in the face right away. Sure enough, the richer you are, the more stubborn you are."
Tong Xuelu took a chopstick and nodded, "Congratulations, you finally discovered this truth."
Fang Jingyuan couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw how thick-skinned she was.
Jiang Baihui was sitting opposite, watching the two of them talk to each other, with a feeling of being left out.
She put down her chopsticks, stood up with tea instead of wine and said to Tong Xuelu: "Xuelu, Jingyuan, we didn't notify you of the postponement the day before yesterday, I'm really sorry, I will apologize to you with tea instead of wine!"
Hearing what she said, Liang Tianyi also stood up: "Comrade Tong and Comrade Fang, I'm really sorry. Some things were delayed and I didn't have time to inform you."
Fang Jingyuan blinked and said curiously, "I asked you just now why you didn't say it. You said you would wait until Xue Lu came. Can you tell me now?"
A shy look appeared on Jiang Baihui's face: "I was pregnant. Before I went to the airport, I suddenly vomited. I didn't take it to heart at first, but when I went to the airport and smelled gasoline, I vomited again."
"Tian Yi was worried that I was not in good health, so he proposed to postpone the time of returning to China. I wanted to endure it for a while, but in addition to morning sickness, I also had bleeding, so I had no choice but to postpone going to the hospital."
"Seeing a doctor in Germany doesn't have any trouble in our country. We need to make an appointment by phone in advance. I was in a temporary situation, so I had to go to the clinic to line up. Because the doctor was not available, we waited in line for several hours before it was our turn."
"After doing various tests, the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant. At that time, Tian Yi and I were so excited and shocked when we heard the news, and it was already late at the time, so we forgot to call the school to let you know. It was our negligence, sorry!"
Fang Jingyuan said: "It turned out to be pregnant, congratulations to both of you, you have been married for four years, and now that you have returned to China, it is time to have a child."
Tong Xuelu's eyes swept across her stomach: "It's all bleeding, why don't you rest there for a few days before coming back?"
The smile on Jiang Baihui's face froze: "Because Tianyi is in a hurry to come back to report, I'm worried about affecting his schedule, and I know my own body well."
Tong Xuelv nodded: "then turn back and take good care of the fetus."
Then everyone drank tea instead of wine together, and this matter was turned over.
Halfway through the banquet, everyone put down their chopsticks one after another.
Jiang Baihui asked: "By the way, why didn't you bring the dragon and phoenix baby, and Jingyuan your daughter, I have only seen their photos so far."
Tong Xuelu: "The child is too noisy. Now that you have returned to China, you will always see each other in the future."
Fang Jingyuan nodded: "When the child is good, you can't wait to give her the whole world, but once you start crying, you can't wait to stuff her back into your stomach as if you've never given birth."
Jiang Baihui touched her stomach and stuck her tongue out: "Is it so scary? I don't even dare to give birth. By the way, Xue Lu, is your baby's diaper still there?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "still, what's wrong?"
Jiang Baihui said with a smile: "I heard that the diapers used by children can bring joy, you have a baby with both women's and girls, I don't know how many people are envious, so I want to ask you for two diapers used by dragons and phoenixes to see if I can stick them. With your joy, I will also have both children and children."
Compared to Jiang Baihui, who had a motherly expression on his face, Liang Tianyi, who was sitting next to him, was a little absent-minded throughout the whole process. Even when it came to the topic of children, he seemed to be lacking in interest.
Tong Xuelv thought he was a little strange, but didn't think much about it: "The two children's diapers are still in storage, I'll bring them back to you."
Jiang Baihui waved his hand: "No, I'll just go to your house to get it, and take a look at your two little babies."
Thinking of the two children, the lines on Tong Xuelu's face softened, and she nodded.
Jiang Baihui's topic suddenly changed, and he said apologetically, "Is Director Wen not angry about our postponement?"
Tong Xuelu: "If Gui, he is not angry, and besides, he is not the director of the Institute of Mechanics now."
Jiang Baihui looked shocked: "I heard from you before that Professor Wen was sick and recuperated for a year, and did not continue to serve as director after returning?"
Liang Tianyi, who was in a trance on the side, also raised his head to look at her at this moment.
Tong Xuelu shook his head: "Yes, he didn't continue to hold the position of director, he changed his research direction."
Jiang Baihui: "What is that research?"
Tong Xuelu: "I don't know that very well. You also know that the base's affairs are kept secret."
She had mentioned to Jiang Baihui about Wen Rugui's one-year recuperation in her previous letter, but she did not say anything about changing her research direction.
She's not lying either, the base's affairs, even if it's a very common thing, can't be spread out casually.
Jiang Baihui didn't seem to hear what she said, and continued: "Isn't it a pity that I can't be the director? I heard that changing the research direction, but it has to start from scratch. Isn't Professor Wen an ordinary scientific researcher now?"
Tong Xuelu smiled: "Yes, but they are all doing things for the country. It doesn't matter what position."
Jiang Baihui frowned: "I can't agree with what you said. Serving the country is of course important, but promotion and salary increases are equally important. Professor Wen has served the base for so many years, and I thought he must have been promoted when he came back this time. The vice president is now, and I didn't expect that he was demoted instead of being promoted, and people couldn't help but feel injustice for him."
Liang Tianyi frowned and pulled her clothes: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Baihui: "Where am I talking nonsense? Besides, Xuelu and Jingyuan are not outsiders, I just talk in front of them, I won't say a word when I go outside, Xuelu, Jingyuan, you won't treat me Say what you said, go out?"
Fang Jingyuan shook her head: "Of course not."
Tong Xuelv felt that Jiang Baihui's character had become a little strange.
Before she went abroad, she was a person with long sleeves and good dance. What occasions did she say things? She has always done well.
She looks like a silly white sweet, and the change from her previous personality is too great, which makes Tong Xuelu feel a sense of disobedience in her heart.
But facing the other's piercing eyes, she still smiled and nodded.
Jiang Baihui glanced at Liang Tianyi: "Look, I said they would not betray me. The three of us are best friends and best friends. You won't understand the relationship between best friends."
Liang Tianyi was not a person who was good at words, so when she said that, her face became embarrassed.
It took more than an hour for the meal to end, and Jiang Baihui made an appointment to go to her house to pick up diapers in two days.
**
Tong Xuelu and Fang Jingyuan's homes are in one direction, Liang's are in the opposite direction, and everyone parted ways.
After walking a long way, Fang Jingyuan scratched her head and said, "I used to think that Bai Hui talked a lot, but I didn't expect her to talk more after she went abroad."
At the banquet, I heard her talking all the time.
Talk about foreign scenery, talk about German culture and customs, and keep asking them about the past few years.
Like a sparrow, chatting non-stop, she felt that her ears were about to grow calluses.
Tong Xuelu pushed the broken hair from her forehead behind her ear: "Maybe it's because no one talks to her abroad."
Fang Jingyuan laughed heartlessly: "It's possible, when she first went abroad, didn't she say that she couldn't get along with the people in the diplomatic embassy? It's really hard for her, she has lived in a place she doesn't know well for four years."
Tong Xuelu responded.
At this time, the atmosphere between Liang Tianyi and Jiang Baihui was not very good.
Liang Tianyi kept walking forward, Jiang Baihui wearing high heels behind him.
Liang Tianyi's expression was serious, and he stepped forward with great steps, gradually leaving Jiang Baihui behind.
Jiang Baihui was so angry that she stopped and did not leave.
Liang Tianyi didn't realize it at first, but after walking for a long time, he realized that there was no one around.
He stopped and looked back, and saw Jiang Baihui standing more than two hundred meters away from him, her cheeks puffed up with anger.
Liang Tianyi walked back, licked his dry lips and said, "Why don't you leave?"
Jiang Baihui looked at him with big watery eyes: "My feet hurt and I can't walk!"
Liang Tianyi glanced down at her shoes: "I told you not to go out in high heels. You have a child now, and no one in China wears such high heels."
Jiang Baihui pouted red lips and whispered, "That's why I said not to go back to China. The economy there is so good, and the remuneration they give is so high. Why do you have to come back to live such a hard life?"
Liang Tianyi glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Don't say this kind of thing again, it won't be good for both of us if someone hears it!"
"The country has contributed money and efforts to send me abroad and cultivate me to become a talent. Now that I have returned from my studies, it is natural to serve the country!"
Jiang Baihui still wanted to speak, but when Liang Tianyi looked at her with serious eyes, she had to swallow the rest of her words.

Xiao Jiaming's brothers and sisters finally went home.
When Xiao Ranran saw her aunt came back, she immediately abandoned the high-cold character, kicked her short legs and ran over: "Auntie, hug."
Xiao Mianmian is twelve years old this year, taller than his peers, and it is not a problem to hold a three-year-old child.
She picked up her niece and kissed her twice, making Xiao Ranran's face flush with joy.
"Auntie is beautiful again."
Xiao Mianmian teased her: "Is that aunt beautiful, or is your mother beautiful?"
Xiao Ranran tilted her head and thought for a while: "They're all beautiful."
Xiao Mianmian: "Everything can be beautiful, there is always one more beautiful."
Xiao Ranran saw that there was no one else around, and whispered, "It's my beautiful aunt."
Tong Jiaxin suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "Okay, I heard it all. I want to tell your mother."
Xiao Ranran was in a hurry: "little uncle, you're bad, you eavesdropped on other people's words!"
Tong Jiaxin pinched her little cheek: "then if you kiss my little uncle, my little uncle won't tell your mother."
Xiao Ranran snorted, buried her head on her aunt's shoulder, and said in a milky voice, "Dad said you can't kiss stinky men."
Tong Jiaxin: "… "
Just then, there was laughter from outside.
"Xiao Ranran, you are right, your little uncle is a stinky man, don't kiss him!"
As soon as the voice fell, a tall girl walked in.
The girl has fair skin, short hair, long legs, and round eyes, looking full of youthful breath.
When Tong Jiaxin saw her, the tips of his ears were inexplicably red, but fortunately his complexion was darker, and no one noticed.
Xiao Mianmian: "Sister Zhuzhu, you will come as soon as I come back. Wouldn't you ask Bean Sprout to stay outside?"
Wei Zhuzhu grinned and said, "You're smart, what about the autograph you asked for? Have you brought it back?"
Wei Zhuzhu is fifteen years old this year and will take the college entrance examination next year. She is usually very busy with her studies, but as a star-chasing girl, it is important to learn how to have an idol signature.
"Bring it back."
As she said that, she took out the signed postcard with the popular actor Gu Bai on it.
Wei Zhuzhu screamed with excitement.
Tong Jiaxin pouted and whispered, "it's just a photo, is it worth being so happy?"
Wei Zhuzhu glared at him: "What do you know!! Gu Bai is my idol, if I could meet him in person, I would be willing to reduce my lifespan by ten years!"
Tong Jiaxin pouted again with a look of disapproval.
At this moment, there was a shout from outside: "Selling twist, delicious Tianjin twist, no money if you don't eat it."
Wei Zhuzhu's eyes lit up: "I haven't eaten hemp for a long time. I'll go out and buy some."
As soon as he finished speaking, he listened to Tong Jia's channel: "Xiao Ranran definitely wants to eat it, so let me buy it."
Small dye: ? ?
She didn't say she wanted to eat.
But Tong Jiaxin had already run out, and he chased the horn selling the twist.
"Wait, I want to buy it!"
The uncle in front didn't hear it, and continued to ride his bicycle.
Tong Jiaxin chased him desperately, and after chasing two streets, he finally caught the uncle who sold the twist.
He was panting heavily, and was about to say two catties of twist when he heard the horn on the front of the uncle's bicycle blaring: "The waste is collected, waste paper and waste electrical appliances—"
At the same time, from another street, there were shouts of cannabis sellers in the distance.
Tong Jiaxin: "… "
He chased the wrong uncle QAQ
