It is said that women have a keen sixth sense, but in fact many men have a keener sixth sense.
Li Shi also said in a casual chatting tone: "It is true that the current economic environment is not good. Yesterday, the intermediary also told me that banks are not easy to get loans and people have to queue up for a long time. I heard that some people have even queued for three or four months to repay. Since I didn’t come down, I was in a hurry to check in, so I had to raise the full payment.”
Before Xiao Li could speak, Gu Shuting, who had replied to the message, spoke first: "When I bought it, I saw twelve houses. Did you buy a three-bedroom house or a four-bedroom house?"
"Four-bedroom, one-unit 1201."
Next to him, Xiao Li also interjected: "The area should be more than 150 square meters, and the full payment is 600,000 to 700,000. Yes, Li Shi, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. By the way, our company is launching the renovation of second-hand houses. For the renovation business, we specially invited designers from Tanzhou Head Office who are good at second-hand house renovation, do you want to know more about it?"
Li Shi turned to look at him and said with a smile: "I bought this house just to live in it right away, so I didn't plan to redecorate it."
I thought to myself, in these days, in the eyes of everyone, making money is indeed more important.
After chatting for a while, the ordered dishes were served. The braised turtle with green peppers made by this restaurant tastes really good, but Li Shi prefers the braised pork belly with green peppers. The pork belly is braised at just the right temperature, crispy, smooth and refreshing, but also delicious. It's chewy and not as spicy as the sand turtle, which is more in line with his taste.
While eating and chatting, most of them talked about the past when they were studying together. In the middle, they also talked about Peng Yangyang, the top student in the next class.
Xiao Li complained: "It is said that training a pilot costs the country a lot of money. In fact, it costs the country a lot of money to train a famous college student. This money is tax money from us people. They will never come back after they leave." Yeah, it’s all cheaper than Americans…”
Gu Shuting is much more positive: "In fact, there are fewer people who are not coming back now than before. Our country is getting better in all aspects."
Xiao Li, who had been so unimpressed before, immediately changed his attitude 180 degrees when he heard this, and agreed with a smile: "It is true that our strength in all aspects is increasing."
Li Shi was about to speak when his cell phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and saw that it was Chen Qiuye. He put down his chopsticks and stood up: "You guys eat first, I'm going to answer the phone."
There are many guests eating in the restaurant, and everyone likes to talk loudly, especially since many guests have drunk wine, and their voices are getting louder. On the contrary, it is much quieter outside the restaurant.
After answering the phone, Chen Qiuye's pleasant voice came from the other end: "Shitou, where do you think I will be now?"
As she spoke, she pressed speakerphone and raised her phone so that the microphone could pick up the noisy sounds around her.
As soon as he heard her calling him "Stone", Li Shi knew that she must be in a public place, and he vaguely heard someone over there saying "please swipe your ID card when entering the station", and immediately asked: "What are you doing?" Is it at the train station?”
Chen Qiu immediately smiled and said: "Yes, I have to go on a business trip to Tanzhou with my colleagues from the company temporarily!"
After saying that, she turned off the speakerphone and lowered her voice: "I just missed you."
Li Shi immediately said: "I will leave for Tanzhou now, please send me the train information."
Chen Qiuye originally didn't want Li Shi to run away so late, but he thought that he could have a rest tomorrow morning as planned. The work in Tanzhou would start tomorrow afternoon, and he really missed him... so he said: "Okay , then you drive slower and drive late at night and pay attention to safety."
Li Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can drive very steadily."
After hanging up the phone, he saw the train information sent by Chen Qiuye. He calculated the time. If he left for the provincial capital now, he would be able to arrive at the station to pick her up.
Li Shi also missed her.
When I returned to the store, I went directly to the cashier to buy the order. Then I returned to their table and said sorry to two old classmates: "I have something to do at the moment, sorry."
Seeing Li Shi walking out of the hotel, Xiao Li said to Gu Shuting with emotion: "Li Shi has changed so much. If he were walking on the street, I probably wouldn't be able to recognize him... By the way, he wouldn't be looking for someone." Is it an excuse to avoid paying the bill?"
Gu Shuting smiled and said: "No, he shouldn't be that kind of person. But he has indeed changed a lot. He is more handsome than before. Although his facial features have not changed much, his skin is whiter than before, and his overall temperament is the same as before. It’s different.”
Xiao Li's chopsticks, which he was about to pick up, stopped and he couldn't help but said: "Shu Ting, you don't have a crush on him, do you?"
Gu Shuting was a little unhappy: "What are you talking about?"
When Xiao Li saw this, he quickly admitted his mistake.
Without Li Shi, he acted like a licking dog and no longer had any scruples.
After the two of them finished eating, when they went to check out, Xiao Li wanted to show off and walked to the cashier first. When he asked, he found out that Li Shi had already bought the order.
He smiled and said to Gu Shuting: "It seems that our old classmate has really made a fortune."
Gu Shuting asked the cashier directly: "Beauty, may I ask, how much is the total for our table?"
The cashier was the fat daughter of the restaurant owner. She was very happy when someone called her beautiful. She looked at the dishes and replied: "The four of you have a large portion of sand turtle. That dish is 258, and the total is 510 yuan."
Xiao Li next to him thought she was just asking and didn't say anything.
The two returned to the community. Gu Shuting declined Xiao Li's invitation to take a walk together again. She returned home, turned on the TV and sat on the sofa. She thought for a while, took her mobile phone, found Li Shi's block, and made a special note: dinner fee.
…
Li Shi took a motorcycle in the square and returned to Tianjiao Huafu Community. After picking up the car, he went out of the city and onto the highway, heading straight to the provincial capital.
From the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, transfer to the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, then to the Tanzhou Ring Expressway, then get off the expressway and onto the Yuhua Avenue Elevated Highway, then get off the elevated highway and directly arrive at the Tanzhou High-speed Railway Station.
The journey was smooth, there were not many cars on the road, and it only took a little over three hours.
Twenty or thirty minutes earlier than he had expected, it was still nearly an hour before the train Chen Qiuye took arrived.
Li Shi parked the car and got out of the car with his mobile phone. He first sent a WeChat message to his sketching teacher Gao Mei, asking for a day off and asking her to postpone the course for a day, and then clicked on Gu Shuting's WeChat account.
Li Shi had already seen her transferring money before, but he was just driving, so he didn't care about it.
"It's just a meal between old classmates, isn't it necessary?"
Gu Shuting replied quickly: "If necessary, please hold it back (smiley face)"
When Li Shi saw her saying this, he didn't say anything more and clicked to collect.
I found a place to sit for a while and remembered the class I had in the afternoon. I happened to have some time to review it.
After recalling it in my mind, I felt that some details were missing, so I took my mobile phone and sent Gao Mei a message: "Teacher Gao, can you send me your lesson plan for today's class for review?"
Gao Mei quickly sent over the electronic file lesson plan and warned: "Remember to practice more on arranging lines. The more talented you are, the more you need to practice."
At 10:52 p.m., train g6118 arrived at Tanzhou South Station on time.
Ten minutes later, Li Shi saw Chen Qiuye, whom he had not seen for some time, at the exit of the station. She was wearing a plain coat of vanilla and coconut. She was walking among the crowd, like a snow-white fairy lotus cutting through the world, making people move away at a glance. Don't look away.
