In the hotel lobby, a middle-aged beauty with outstanding temperament, shoulder-length hair, and a breeze in her walk came towards them and said with a smile, "Xiao Su, long time no see."
Su Tianyu came back to his senses and immediately responded, "Hello, Auntie."
This middle-aged beauty was none other than An Qiqi's mother, Aunt Yu Mingyuan. She and Su Tianyu had met twice, once at Huadu Hospital and once at Yu's house.
Su Tianyu was very surprised why the other party came here, but he still said politely: "Auntie, are you here to see Qiqi?"
"Yes, she was sick and suddenly asked for leave. I asked Wawa and she said you were here." An Qiqi's mother has a very natural affinity. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that she has worked at the grassroots level for a long time. In short, she makes people feel very close.
"Oh, then I'll take you upstairs." Su Tianyu said as he made way.
Daxiong was also very discerning. He said hello to An Qiqi's mother, turned around and left to buy cigarettes for Su Tianyu.
The two walked into the elevator, and An Qiqi's mother took the initiative to ask: "Xiao Su, are you in New York City on a business trip this time?"
"Well... it's not really a business trip." Su Tianyu scratched his head: "I still have a week before I start work, so I want to relax before I start working."
"Oh, is that so? Haha, I saw Qiqi's social updates, and you were admitted to the Longcheng Coast Guard, right?" An Qiqi's mother smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Su Tianyu smiled shyly and pressed the floor button.
As the elevator went up, An Qiqi's mother carefully looked at Su Tianyu's back and was quite curious about him. Because Yu Jinrong had given her the information about Gou Liuzi before and asked the An family to help with the dirty business in District 1, so she had some understanding of the young man in front of her.
His education, character, and honors in his resume were all excellent, but An Qiqi's mother couldn't understand how he washed away the stains. It was obvious that Yu Mingyuan didn't have this ability, and Su Tianyu's family connections in Longcheng were also ordinary.
The two chatted briefly in the elevator and went to the accommodation floor together. But before they walked into the guest room together, An's mother heard a pig-killing laughter coming from the room.
"Cough cough!" Su Tianyu walked quickly into the house and coughed twice.
“Come on, come on!” Bai Hongbo, wearing a T-shirt, turned around and looked at Su Tianyu, immediately waving his hands and shouting, “It’s too exciting, they forced me to imitate the bang bang bang with my ventriloquism, I…!”
Su Tianyu stepped on Dabai's instep and winked at him.
“Gah!”
Bai Hongbo, who was laughing, took a deep breath when he saw An's mother, and almost suffocated to death: "It's... it's playing poker!"
Inside, a group of young people were stunned when they saw An's mother coming in. An Qiqi, who was playing flying chess happily, also stood up in surprise: "Mom, why are you here?"
"You didn't go to work, and you didn't call me when you came back. I thought you were lost." An's mother didn't show any abnormal emotions. She just smiled and teased, "How old are you? You're still so crazy."
"Oh, we... were having a party with friends, playing cards." An Qiqi glared at Wawa, obviously dissatisfied with this traitor.
"Aunt!"
Zhou Tonghui and others also came over and said hello.
"Haha, it's okay. I'm just worried about her health. You guys can have fun." An's mother replied in an open-minded way, stepped forward and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better, I'm fine now, and I enjoy everything I eat!" An Qiqi replied with a smile.
Mother An glanced at the reserved young people in the room and said with a smile, "Do you feel uncomfortable with me being here? Haha, you guys continue to play. I'll talk to Qiqi."
"Okay, Auntie!" Su Tianyu nodded.
"Come on, I'll go out and talk to you." An Qiqi picked up a coat and put it on, took her mother's arm, walked out, and stuck out her tongue at Gou Liuzi.
Dabai watched the two of them leave with lingering fear, and whispered to Su Tianyu: "Luckily Auntie came early, otherwise I would have caught you two in the act."
"Get out, you idiot. What the hell are you doing? Are you banging on the wall? You want to die!" Su Tianyu cursed angrily.
…
In the corridor.
Mother An looked at the girl and said with a smile, "You didn't work hard, you asked for leave casually, and you didn't even say hello when you came back. Aren't you going too far?"
"I was planning to go home tomorrow." An Qiqi replied with a wink.
"As a punishment, you have to tell Wawa to pack up and go home tonight."
"Mom, let's have a party together."
"Whose girl is partying with a bunch of guys late at night?" Mother An asked without changing her expression, "Where is the reserved attitude you agreed on?"
"Hey, we all share a room. The baby and I are in one. If you don't believe me, I'll show you."
"Don't be so stubborn. You have to go home tonight." Mother An was neither angry nor upset. She just smiled and said, then turned and left: "I have three meetings today and another social event tonight. I am very tired. Please understand me as a middle-aged person."
An Qiqi was used to this way of getting along with her mother, so she nodded slowly: "Okay, we'll go back with you."
"I'll wait for you downstairs."
Twenty minutes later, got on the business sedan.
Mother An held her chin up and asked casually, "Qiqi, how did Xiao Su pass the political review for the civil service exam?"
An Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately said excitedly: "His godfather is Longcheng Mayor Li Mingsheng...!"
"Ah?" An's mother, who was always calm, couldn't help but sit up straight after hearing this: "Godfather? How is that possible? Which mayor would casually have such a gangster relationship?"
"He saved Li Mingsheng's life," An Qiqi said proudly, "What's wrong with adopting him as a godson? If it weren't for my sixth son, he wouldn't be able to come back from outside the district. I heard that someone wanted to assassinate him..."
"Your sixth son?!" Mother An raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's his name?"
"… I… That's my catchphrase! What's wrong?" An Qiqi immediately changed the subject: "After Li Mingsheng came back, he personally handled the political review for Xiao Yu. I heard that on the day of the interview, the mayor's secretary personally went over to say hello."
"A backdoor job as a coast guard?"
"How is that possible? My sixth son... Oh, no... Xiaoyu ranked first in the civil service exam in Zhannan. If you don't believe me, you can check it out." An Qiqi seemed a little stupid, but at this time she was very supportive: "He is quite good."
Mother An glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing more.
Inside the hotel.
"It's over. I think her mother knows about your affair." Dabai whispered to Su Tianyu, "I don't think she would agree to it, otherwise she wouldn't call her away so abruptly."
Su Tianyu was lying on the bed, and it was rare that he didn't quarrel with Dabai. Instead, he felt a little nervous inside.
…
The next morning.
Inside the Tongji Society compound, all foremen and organizational staff have gathered together.
"I told you, the job hasn't been finalized yet. We're just going to take a look today." Kong Zhenghui shouted speechlessly, "We don't need so many people!"
"Let's go together. There's not much work to do." An old man in his fifties replied with a smile.
“…!”
As soon as he finished speaking, an off-road vehicle drove into the courtyard. Liu Xiaohai pushed the door and got out of the car, smiling and saying, "It's pretty fast. Everyone has gathered."
