Chapter 71 - Uniform (2)
Qiao Jiayi agreed with Lu Li’s decision about not having children.
Qiao Jiayi also liked Lu Li’s decision to find something for herself, and no longer obsess about pestering her husband every day to ask for hugs. “You were right to think so.” Qiao Jiayi patted Lu Li on the shoulder.
Lu Li fiddled with the milk tea straw: “I just don’t know what I should do.”
Qiao Jiayi: “You can do anything, it’s just for fun anyway. You’ll just do it to pass time, and your family doesn’t really expect you to earn money, they can support you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you invest money to open a milk tea shop. It doesn’t matter if you fail with your investment, your husband won’t care about that little money.”
Lu Li nodded.
Qioa Jiayi: “What do you think about the hot spring last time? Let’s go to the hot spring again and have a spa. I have been having sore back and leg pain these days.”
Lu Li glanced at the time: “It’s a bit late.”
Qioa Jiayi: “Its not too late. Why are you going home so early? To see your husband? Didn’t you just say that you will not pester your husband anymore? Your resolve fell within two minutes.”
Lu Li was silent for a moment and thought about it.
She seems to have a point.

In the afternoon, Chi Chenyan had a social gathering at a high-end clubhouse in the city center.
The one who was hosting it was a high school classmate surname Zhao.
Most of the people in their class were rich. After graduation, they basically took over thier family business. Classmate Zhao is an exception. His family conditions were only moderate in the class, but he was able to make it to the top 500 rich businessman in recent years.
This is also a kind of accumulation of contacts. It is easier for old classmates to talk about cooperation.
Chi Chenyan was led to a reserved private room.
Classmate Zhao came one step ahead of time. Seeing Chi Chenyan coming in, he immediately got up and stretched out his hand to say hello. “Chi Chenyan, long time no see.”
Chi Chenyan saw that his former classmate’s appearance has changed a lot over the years. He was originally the thinnest person in the class, and now he already has slight beer belly before the age of 30. if he didn’t meet him in the past, he would not recognize him when he walked over in front of him.
Chi Chenyan smiled, stretched out his hand to shake hands with his former classmate, and greeted him.
The two shook hands, and then a slender and white palm stretched out in front if Chi Chenyan.
“Long time no see.”
Chi Chenyan looked at the palm that was stretched out, and only then did he notice the person following classmate Zhao.
It was Bai Qianying.
Her facial features have not changed much over the years. Even though she had stayed on the United States these years, her style was not of an ABC. She had long skirt, a nice jewelry and a skirt with Chinese design.
Classmate Zhao hurriedly explained: “Qianying has been in contact with me since she returned to China. She heard that I was going to discuss business with you this afternoon and she followed along. Everyone is a former classmate, we should recount the past together.”
The expression on Chi Chenyan’s face was not happy nor angry. He stretched out his and, shook Bai Qianying’s hand, and immediately retracted it. “Yeah.”
Classmate Zhao hurriedly said, “Sit down, sit down.”
The time flewfast.
Classmate Zhao tried several times to talk about things in high school, wanting to revisit the past and chat, but Chi Chenyan didn’t seem to be very interested. He nodded slightly, and then turned the topic back to business.
Maybe because they were talking about business, Bai Qianying had nothing to say. She was sitting quietly all the time, listening to the two men talk about business.
In the end, Chi Chenyan and classmate Zhao had a good business talk, and they reached a cooperation.
After talking about work, classmate Zhao mentioned that he had booked a seat in a nearby restaurant in advance, and wanted to have a meal with Chi Chenyan.
Chi Chenyan refused, saying that he still had something to do, and would not accompany him for the time being.
“All right.” Classmate Zhao reluctantly said, “See you next time.”
Chi Chenyan left with his secretary.
