Chapter 76 shadow of the past life
At half past six in the evening, the two cars set off for the France restaurant on the banks of Pujiang.
The girls all liked romantic and poetic feelings, and they immediately fell in love as soon as they entered the restaurant. After sitting down, she saw that the prices on the menu were all at the same time. So many people's meal would probably cost them half a year's living expenses. Yan wanling, who was studying at the music academy, glanced at Ji Dongming, who was treating the guests to dinner. She really couldn't tell that this boy was rich.
"Chu heng, don't order foie gras. Order two steaks and more." Li Haitang felt that he should not force himself to eat and gave him a suggestion.
"Just order a steak too. We'll go to the same place for supper later." Jiang Chuheng knew that she liked the barbecue skewers at the rooftop restaurant very much. It was rare for her to come here once a year, so she naturally went to visit them together.
Li Haitang nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, I forgot to ask you. Did everything go well when you went to Yangcheng to get dressed?" Jiang Chuheng leaned closer and spoke to her in a low voice.
Li Haitang smiled, then told him what happened in Yangcheng, and told him, "My classmate's brother is the first time we met at a barbecue here. He's a student at Fu da law school."
"It's a lot easier to have someone you know introduce you to." Jiang Chuheng recalled and had a vague impression, "It's really more convenient to get goods from Yangcheng. The clothing industry is developing very fast there, and the style is changing very fast. If your shop is operated for a long time, it's necessary to find a stable supplier."
"We originally only wanted to earn some money before college, but now it looks like this shop will be open for a long time. Business is really booming. They should be able to make a lot of money from next year. They can't bear to transfer." Li Haitang had been thinking about driving for two years, but now they want to drive for a long time. They don't need to be there anyway. Just hire a few more employees.
"Your goods are sent to the whole province. Now that the economy of the whole country is developing very fast, everyone's living standards are improving day by day. There is a great demand for light industrial products like clothing. If you keep doing it steadily, you will naturally earn a lot of money every year. In a year, you will definitely earn more than the workers in the factory."
Li Haitang agreed with him, smiling between his eyes and eyes, and his voice lowered a little. "Chu heng, tell me the truth. Do you have other ways to earn money besides the printing factory?" He knew the market so well that there must be other ways to get money, otherwise he wouldn't have so much money to invest.
Jiang chu smiled warmly and did not hide it from her, "Yes, he opened a chain hotel. There are stores in jingdu, Hushi, Yangcheng, Pengcheng and several provincial capital cities." He and his sister invested in this hotel, not even his parents knew about it.
"Bull!" Li Haitang did not hesitate to give him two thumbs.
As for the chain hotels, if they were to run all over the big cities of the country, they would really have to count money at home with a cash counter.
"It's been open for just two years, and most of the money I earned has been used to expand the market. I plan to open up a few more cities next year." Jiang Chuheng didn't tell his family, so naturally, he didn't ask his parents for money. He always used the money from the loan and profit to open a new store.
"What's the name of the hotel?" Li Haitang smiled so much that his eyes and eyebrows curved like a naughty little fox.
Jiang chu's eyes sparkled and he lowered his gaze without any trace. Only two people could hear the voice. "There's one right across from the Oriental weekly."
Not to mention the name, let her guess. Was it intentional?
Li Haitang stroked her thin chin and carefully recalled the hotel across from the newspaper office. That area was the most prosperous area in Hushi. She had been there three times and had a natural impression of the surrounding buildings. Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind and she said happily, "Oh, I see. It's called hengtian..."
"What are you two whispering about? Can't you just say it out loud for us to hear?" Ji Dongming happened to be sitting on the other side of Li Haitang and vaguely heard the words "Hotel" and "Making money." To a person who was interested in doing business, he was naturally very curious.
Jiang Chuheng did not give the light bulb who interrupted their conversation a good look and poured himself some red wine to slowly taste.
Ji Dongming: ... "" should it be so obvious? What an inhumane guy. He curled his lips and looked at Li Haitang." Haitang, I just heard you say something about making money in a hotel. Tell me about it.
Li Haitang tilted his head to look at Jiang Chuheng. Seeing that he did not object, he leaned closer to ji Dongming and told him what they had just said.
Ji Dongming was stunned for a long time after hearing this. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Chuheng, you're paying for today's meal."
"You have the money." Jiang Chuheng raised his eyebrows.
Ji Dongming: ... "Okay." Then he waved to the waiter standing not far away, holding the menu towards the expensive order.
Li Haitang was amused by his childish behavior, then looked at the red wine on the table and squinted her eyes. She wanted to drink it too, but Instructor jiang, who was oppressed to death by this official rank, was determined not to let her drink as an underage.
Hmph, she even drank half a bottle of cold beer during the summer party. He didn't stop her then, but he stopped her now. What a tyrant!
She looked at them angrily as they drank, and her heart ached.
Sun Bingqing and the others saw the interaction between the three of them. Sun Bingqing pulled Chu Xiaoman, who had been acting strangely all day. "Xiao man, who is that girl named Li Haitang? Why is she so familiar with you, Brother Four, and Xu Yueyang?"
When Chu Xiaoman was about to return to the truth, she suddenly remembered Brother Four's warning half a year ago, "I only knew that she was a classmate of Zhou Yunyang's. Although she was young, she was a very famous writer. Her work was signed by a very famous film and television company in Port city and filmed into a tv series. I heard that it will be shown on tv soon."
"Oh." Sun Bingqing had already guessed when she heard the conversation between jiang chuheng and xu yueyang at the train station. Now that she got the accurate information from chu xiaoman, her heart sank a little.
Looks, height, ability, ability, youth, all of them. The only thing she didn't have was her family background. She might not lose.
Sun Bingqing thought this in his mind, and his mood lightened up.
Although Li Haitang was talking to jiang chuheng and others, she was a very sensitive person. She always felt that the girl with the apple face opposite her was looking at her with an ambiguous gaze. She thought that it was her first time meeting her and that she had never met before. When she was introduced as a friend of cousin Jiang Chuheng's, she greeted her and didn't communicate with her. Why was she always peeking at herself like that? What a strange person.
While everyone was drinking red wine, Li Haitang could only drink a glass of lemon honey water, but the taste was not bad. After taking a sip, he still licked his mouth.
Ji Dongming, as the host, naturally couldn't ignore a group of delicate beauties. Although he didn't want to have too much contact with them, he still had to have basic courtesy and courtesy. He took the initiative to talk to them, and naturally, the topics around them were all about their university affairs.
Li Haitang listened carefully as well. She was a foreign language school in the world before and applied for the Beijing university postgraduate exam after her undergraduate degree. For the first time, she was blocked by her biological parents and missed the exam time. For the second time, she had not applied for the exam because of those strange relatives. Then, there was no third time. She was reduced to a money-making tool. Now that she thought about her past life, she really lived too miserably.
At that time, she cared too much about family. She never knew what it was like for her father to love her mother. She could only envy other people's parents from childhood. When she finally had this day, she felt satisfied with her life.
It was just that her most anticipated parents had never regarded her as a human being, but as a tool to make money for them to spend their entire day.
Even in the end, for money, he tricked her into drinking fortified drinks and sent her to an underground medical facility to do research. That dark and frightening experience still occasionally appears in her dreams. Fortunately, she was completely free from that torture and was still alive and sound. She thanked god for giving her a chance to reincarnate. She believed that god would punish those who were morally corrupt and ruthless, and they would not have a good ending.
"Haitang, haitang, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Chuheng felt that something was wrong with her. He felt a sudden sense of sadness and despair pervading her body. He immediately called out to her in a low voice, only to find that she did not hear a few cries and had to reach out and squeeze her palm.
"Ah!"
Li Haitang sobered up from his memory and saw his worried eyes. He pursed his lips and blinked. "I, I just remembered something bad. It's okay. I'm sorry."
Jiang Chuheng saw that her face was suddenly very bad, and it was not easy to ask at this occasion, so he had to add a glass of lemon honey water to her. From the first time he saw her, he felt that she was burdened with a lot of things. Later on, the two of them had learned about her past in their letters, and now there seemed to be a lot of unknown shadows that she didn't want to say.
He was not in a hurry. There was still a long time ahead, and he would slowly lead her to say it.
Li Haitang quickly adjusted his mood and took the initiative to change the subject to talk about other things with Jiang Chuheng.
Not long after, the long-awaited France meal arrived. All the bad scenes were thrown into the dark room by Li Haitang and locked up. He was in a good mood and began to enjoy the delicious foie gras.
When Jiang Chuheng was cutting the steak with a knife and fork, his eyes stole glances at her from time to time. When he saw that she was eating happily and was back to normal, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
It seemed that the delicious food could divert her negative emotions, and he found a way to slowly grasp her.
