When Xia Lei first arrived at Thunder Horse Studio, he received a text message from Ning Yuanshan. The location was Baolaideng Hotel and the time was seven o'clock in the evening.
"Uncle Ning is serious and doesn't even ask me for my opinion. Forget it, just go. We might cooperate in the future. It's better not to offend someone like him. I'll take Xiao An and Xiao Hong there and let them see them. The world." Xia Lei thought in his heart.
Ma Xiaoan was welding, and Zhou Xiaohong was helping him. Ma Xiaoan was sweating profusely, and so was Zhou Xiaohong. The sweat wet her overalls, and the fabric was wetted with sweat and stuck tightly to her buttocks, making her look plumper and fuller, making people full of fantasy.
"Have a rest." Xia Lei clapped his hands.
Only then did Ma Xiaoan and Zhou Xiaohong realize that Xia Lei was back. Ma Xiaoan put down the welding tongs in his hand, and Zhou Xiaohong got up and walked to the water dispenser.
"No need to pour water." Xia Lei stopped her, "You are so tired that you are covered in sweat. Why are you pouring me water? Just rest."
"Brother Lei Zi, I'm not tired. Let me get you a glass of water." Zhou Xiaohong wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and a stain suddenly appeared on her fair forehead.
Xia Lei was not thirsty, but when Zhou Xiaohong handed a glass of water to his hand, he still drank the glass of water in one breath.
Ma Xiaoan also washed his hands and came over, "Leizi, is Dongfang Heavy Industries finished?"
"It's done." Xia Lei said, "Ning Yuanshan, chairman of Dongfang Heavy Industries, invited me to dinner to celebrate my success. It's not interesting for me to go alone. I want to take you two with me." "
Ma Xiaoan then shook his head, "Leizi, I'd better not go to such an important occasion. Just take Xiaohong with you, and just say that Xiaohong is your secretary."
Xia Lei said: "You are usually very courageous, why are you so timid today? Isn't it Ningyuan Mountain? Can he still eat you?"
Ma Xiaoan said: "Ning Yuanshan is a big shot, and I am a little shot. I feel uncomfortable eating at the same table with him, so I won't go."
"Brother Lei Zi, I, I'm not going either..." Zhou Xiaohong looked even more nervous and timid, and she stuttered: "I am a woman from the mountains. I have never seen anything in the world. Brother Lei Zi, please take me there." If you do, I will embarrass you, I won’t go, I won’t go.”
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and said: "You two really just want to have a meal, aren't you? Are you afraid of being like this?"
Ma Xiaoan said: "It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't want to go. Xiaohong, you can be a secretary for a while to fill the scene. You and Lei Zi can go."
Zhou Xiaohong shook her beautiful head like a rattle, "I won't go, and I'm not a secretary."
Seeing that persuasion was of no use, Xia Lei put five bundles of cash on the table, "If you don't go, forget it. This is 50,000 yuan. I will give it to you as a bonus. You can use it to buy whatever you want."
"Leizi, what are you doing?" Ma Xiaoan looked at Xia Lei in surprise and did not reach out for the money.
Zhou Xiaohong also said nervously: "Brother Lei Zi, I am already very happy if you can take me in. I have only been here for less than a month. Why did you give me so many bonuses all at once? I can't want it."
Xia Lei said with a smile: "This time I earned one million at Dongfang Heavy Industries. I originally wanted to give you some more bonuses, but I thought that we would need money to upgrade our studio, so I only gave you 50,000. Don't be dissatisfied. Master, take it."
"You're short of weight! Forget it, stop talking. I don't like to hear this. I have the money, why not?" Ma Xiaoan took two bundles of money, and then said: "Xiaoxue is leaving to study in Kyoto. Now, I’ll go to your house for dinner and see what else she’s missing, and I’ll buy it for him.”
Xia Lei frowned, "You spend money on her again, you will spoil her."
"It's not as serious as you said? You are her brother and I am her brother. Is there anything wrong if I buy her some gifts?" Ma Xiaoan has his own reasons.
Xia Lei said: "It's up to you. Anyway, be careful and don't let her get into the habit of spending money lavishly. That's not good."
Ma Xiaoan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you are more verbose than my mother."
At this time Zhou Xiaohong said: "Brother Ma, please take me there too. I will also go to Brother Lei Zi's house for dinner. Well, I also want to buy some gifts for Xiaoxue."
"Okay, but you should wipe the table before you go." Ma Xiaoan said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah." Zhou Xiaohong twisted the rag and went to wipe the table.
"Take the money, put it away, don't drop it." Xia Lei put the money into Zhou Xiaohong's hand and warned her.
Zhou Xiaohong's eyes were red and she was so moved that she could not speak. She came out from her hometown to work, and her biggest dream is to save 10,000 yuan to mail to her hometown. She estimates that she will need to work hard for a year to achieve this goal, but now she has only been in Lei Ma Studio for less than a month. , Xia Lei gave her a bonus of 20,000 yuan. The meaning of 20,000 yuan was very important to her. How could she not be moved
"Go, go, do it well." Xia Lei didn't want to see her cry.
"Yeah." Zhou Xiaohong stuffed two bundles of money into her trouser pockets and wiped the table hard. Her hand swung over and over again, and her plump breasts trembled endlessly, almost hitting the table.
Ma Xiaoan's eyes were fixed on Zhou Xiaohong's chest without blinking.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head. He walked to Ma Xiaoan and lowered his voice and said, "I can tell you, this girl is honest, so don't harm her."
Ma Xiaoan also lowered his voice, "Brother, who do you think I am? My moral character is not suitable for her. I won't harm her. I just have a look. It's not illegal and I won't get pregnant." no?"
Xia Lei slapped Ma Xiaoan on the back of the head, "You guy!"
Ma Xiaoan didn't get angry even after being hit. He just stared at Zhou Xiaohong who was cleaning the table and laughed.
In the evening, Xia Lei called a car and went straight to the Baolaideng Hotel.
Before arriving at the Baolaideng Hotel, Jingjing called.
"Sister Ning, what's the matter?" Xia Lei greeted warmly.
"Ouch, something bad happened." The quiet voice on the phone sounded a little anxious.
"What happened? Don't be impatient and speak slowly."
"My second uncle told my dad about you, and my dad is coming to the banquet tonight."
"Huh?" Xia Lei was also shocked.
Jing Jing said: "My second uncle praised you so much that you were almost a perfect son-in-law. My dad was very happy with it. He laughed and scolded me for hiding such a big thing. He, you said... what do you think I should do?"
Xia Lei's head was pounding when he heard this, "I, I don't know what to do. I've never encountered anything like this."
"I have no experience at all. Hey, it's all my fault. I told my second uncle that you were my boyfriend without consulting you in advance." Ning Jing was annoyed to death.
Xia Lei comforted: "Don't worry, you just want your second uncle to see me and help me get the order. How can I blame you?"
"Forget it, it's over, don't mention it again. My dad has a bad heart and can't be angry. We can just work together to lie to him again."
Xia Lei said bravely, "Okay, let's act again. However, I'm not very good at acting, so don't blame me if the performance fails."
"No, no, just adapt to circumstances. Okay, that's it, I'll wait for you at the hotel." Ning Jing hung up the phone.
Xia Lei, on the other hand, was still holding his cell phone, looking distracted. I thought it was just a celebration dinner, but I didn't expect that it was actually a family dinner of a blind date nature. He is not Jing Jing's boyfriend but wants to meet Jing Jing's father as Jing Jing's boyfriend. Thinking about this kind of thing gives him a headache.
"Brother, are you going to meet the girl's parents?" Brother De looked back at Xia Lei and said with a smile.
Xia Lei finally came back to his senses, "How do you know?"
"I heard it." Brother De said, "You can't just go like this, you have to buy some decent gifts."
Xia Lei's head was already a headache, but when his brother said this, his heart became even more confused, "It's not that complicated, I actually... forget it, stop at the supermarket ahead, I'll buy some gifts."
Brother smiled and said, "That's right."
The taxi stopped in front of Wal-Mart, and Xia Lei rushed to the supermarket in a hurry. He went in empty-handed and came out with a big bag in his left hand and a big bag in his right hand. Jing Jing didn't say whether her mother would come, but he thought that in this case, Jing Jing's mother wouldn't come to see his "future son-in-law", so he prepared two gifts, one for Jing Jing's father and one for Jing Jing's father. It's for Serenity's mother.
"Brother, that's awesome. You'll look respectable if you go like this. You'll definitely make your future father-in-law and mother-in-law happy." Brother De joked.
Xia Lei was in no mood to joke and didn't say anything. He just urged his brother to drive.
Arriving at the Baolaideng Hotel, Xia Lei paid the fare and entered the lobby. He caught sight of the tranquility waiting in the hall.
Today's Jingjing obviously dressed up specially. She wore an ethnic-style blue and white porcelain skirt, a small and cute navy blue gown, and a pair of simple and elegant half-heel leather shoes on her feet. Such a combination , the bookishness about her became even stronger. There were many women in gorgeous costumes in the hall, but she was the most special and conspicuous one. When he saw her for the first time, he couldn't help but praise her in his heart, she was beautiful.
Xia Lei walked up with two large bags of gifts and said hello with a smile, "Sister Ning, I'm sorry, I'm a little late. I didn't keep you waiting long, right?"
Ning Jing came up to her with a nervous expression, "Don't call me Sister Ning. My second uncle told my parents that you are twenty-five years old. Please call me by my nickname tonight, Jingzi."
Xia Lei nodded, "Yes, I remember."
"You... just call me and try." Jing Jing said awkwardly.
Xia Lei opened his mouth and took a long time to call out, "Jing... Jingzi."
"It's okay, be more natural when you scream again, don't be so stiff." Ning Jing is like a strategist on the battlefield, "Also, my dad's name is Ning Yuanhai, and my mom's name is Zhang Huilan. My dad is easy to deal with, so respect him more. After two glasses of wine, he can talk about anything when he is happy. My mother is more difficult to deal with. She will ask you a lot of questions. You have to be smart, otherwise she will find out. "
Xia Lei said dizzy: "What questions will your mother ask me?"
Jing Jing chatted: "House, car, work situation and income, and family members' situation, etc. You'd better think about how to answer now, don't answer wrongly."
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and said, "It seems like this isn't the first time you've experienced something like this, right?"
Jing Jing showed a helpless look, "My mother forced me to go on a blind date more than a dozen times. Am I not sure what questions she asked?"
Xia Lei suddenly felt that Jing Jing was actually quite pitiful.
"Let's go, I'll hold your hand." Jing Jing took a gift bag and then took one of Xia Lei's arms.
The moment they held hands, both of them were inexplicably nervous and embarrassed, but they both acted calmly and walked towards the restaurant together.
Although they are pretending to be a couple, when the two hold hands, everyone who sees them will secretly praise them - what a perfect couple!
