After leaving Uncle Xu's place, it looked like it was still early, so Cao Zhiqiang did not go directly back to Qinghong's residence on the Houhai side, but went to the house on the West Sea side.
The house in Xihai is currently "lent" to his "godsister" Hao Shuwen, so going there is equivalent to finding Hao Shuwen.
As for why he went to find Hao Shuwen, to put it bluntly, it was just a whim. To put it more specifically, she was the most suitable place.
Because he didn't meet Uncle Xu for a long time, it was still early now, less than four o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, Qinghong should not have finished school yet. In the house over Houhai, there are currently only two women who are not familiar with him, Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Xiaohong. Moreover, these two are most likely shopping and not at home. It is not appropriate for him to go there. .
In the same way, the same goes for Jin Xiuying on the other side of Longtan West Lake.
At this time, Jin Xiuying should still be in school. When he went there, he also faced an empty house.
As for Yu Yuanyuan in Taoranting Park, first of all, Yu Yuanyuan should still be working in the hospital at this time. Secondly, Cao Zhiqiang's relationship with Yuanyuan is very complicated, and he doesn't want to get too involved with her for the time being. He still treats her as " If you can’t do it, don’t go.”
Although Yu Yuanyuan always claims to be his Cao Zhiqiang's woman, in fact, Yu Yuanyuan has never had a close relationship with Cao Zhiqiang. At most, the two parties only hold hands.
It's not that Yu Yuanyuan doesn't want to give in, but that Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to.
After all, Yu Yuanyuan is no better than others. Normally, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to take his relationship to a further level, so just being a sibling is fine.
Of course, Yu Yuanyuan definitely doesn't think so, but at least for now, Yu Yuanyuan has calmed down.
However, this is thanks to Hao Shuwen.
Because when he was talking to Hao Shuwen on the phone a few days ago, he learned that Hao Shuwen had become good friends with Yu Yuanyuan, also known as good best friends in the later world. They even visited often and often enlightened Yu Yuanyuan.
Therefore, if you want to know about Yu Yuanyuan's current situation, it is most appropriate to contact Hao Shuwen directly, which is more reliable than contacting Yu Yuanyuan's sister Yu Fangfang.
Of course, the reason why I went to see Hao Shuwen at this time was not just to find out about Yu Yuanyuan, it was just incidental.
The main reason was that Cao Zhiqiang wanted to see how Hao Shuwen's voice was improving and see if she could officially debut as a singer.
Although Cao Zhiqiang's other vest, the singer Aqiang, is currently in the limelight, and "Blooming Life" is still sweeping the album, the momentum has begun to weaken, and it is time to release a new record.
Although Cao Zhiqiang has already prepared the new album in advance, this time, he wants to introduce Hao Shuwen before going to Japan, so that Hao Shuwen can take advantage of the influence of "Singer Aqiang" and become popular.
Even for pop songs, the requirements for the singer's voice are not too high. The key is good lyrics and good music.
But in general, how far a singer can go depends not only on good singing, but also on having a decent voice.
If the lyrics and music are first-class, but the singer's voice is lagging behind and he is tone-deaf, then he won't go far. At most, he can sing rock and roll, but that won't go very far.
….
Fortunately, Hao Shuwen's voice is not bad. She has a smoky voice. If she performs some targeted exercises on her smoky voice and cooperates with the songs specially created for her by Cao Zhiqiang, the response should be good.
But that's just a theory. Whether it works or not needs to be tested in practice.
Fortunately, now that he has time, he might as well go to Hao Shuwen's place and accomplish more with one stone.
When Cao Zhiqiang arrived at the courtyard house on the West Sea side by car, as soon as he opened the door and walked into the courtyard, he heard a faint burst of laughter coming from inside.
From the sound of the voice, you can tell that it's not one person, but a group of people, and it's a group of girls.
It's very simple, the voices are crisp and clear, and they are all obviously female.
When Cao Zhiqiang passed the first entrance and came to the second entrance, which is the main courtyard, he immediately saw a group of young women gathered around.
Chatting and laughing.
It was obvious that this was a group of young women gathering to chat. Of course, it was not wrong to open an art salon.
Because in addition to the table full of snacks, fruits and drinks, there were also many musical instruments nearby, mainly guitars, guitars one by one, and also Western instruments such as accordions and violins.
In addition to these musical instruments, there are four easels, obviously for painting Western paintings.
That’s why we say this is an art salon, not just a music salon.
It seems that Hao Shuwen is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, and completely regards this courtyard house in Xihai as a private club.
Just when Cao Zhiqiang was looking at the second courtyard at Chuihua Gate, someone finally spotted Cao Zhiqiang.
Suddenly, a girl in yellow clothes looked at Cao Zhiqiang and screamed loudly: "Ah, there is someone! There are gangsters!"
Upon hearing this, many young women gathered around, chatting and laughing, or eating melon seeds or melons, all looked in the direction of Cao Zhiqiang.
After seeing Cao Zhiqiang standing there, they all screamed.
After that, a handful of people found places to hide, some were watching a show, and three women walked directly to Cao Zhiqiang angrily.
"Who are you?" At first, a young woman with a relatively fat figure or a strong figure rushed over and pointed at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "How did you break in? What do you want to do? Are you playing gangster?"
"Rogue!" A young woman, neither fat nor thin, clutched her waist with both hands. "Do you know where this place is? Do you know who my father is? Are you tired of living here if you dare to run wild here?"
"Sisters, stop talking nonsense with him!" The last young woman, who was a head shorter than Cao Zhiqiang, said, "Come, let's fight the gangsters together!"
After saying that, a group of girls behind him shouted angrily, grabbed the apples, pomegranates, or peaches on the table, and threw them all at Cao Zhiqiang.
That's all. The key point is that some girls grabbed the empty soda bottles on the table and threw them at Cao Zhiqiang.
This shocked Cao Zhiqiang. He didn't even have the time to explain, so he quickly turned around and hid.
After a burst of pinging bells, Cao Zhiqiang, who hid beside the Chuihua Gate in time, was immediately frightened to death.
Just kidding, there were so many people throwing bottles at me just now. If he was really hit, the injury would be secondary, but the more important thing would be humiliation.
Damn, you just came in, and you were given firepower without saying a word. Who can stand this?
….
However, even if he avoided this attack, Cao Zhiqiang did not dare to relax. He was afraid that the opponent would continue to chase and fight. He hurriedly hid beside the hanging flower door and shouted loudly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm one of my own! I am the owner of this house. I, I belong to Hao Shuwen." Damn brother! Sister, sister, are you there? Come out quickly, someone is going to die!"
After shouting like this, no more things were smashed inside.
Soon, the three women who were the first to question him came over.
The three women came to the Chuihua Gate, looked sideways at Cao Zhiqiang who was hiding aside, and then the fattest woman asked: "Are you Sister Hao's godbrother? Cao Zhiqiang?"
"Yes, yes!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded quickly, "I am Cao Zhiqiang, Hao Shuwen's godbrother. By the way, am I, Sister Hao, here?"
The three women looked at each other, and then the girl with the shortest stature but the prettiest appearance said, "How do you prove that you are Sister Hao's godbrother?"
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, yes!"
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang reached into his arms and took out a business card: "Well, this is my business card. Please take a look at it, girl."
The short girl took the business card and looked at it: "President of Hongguang Publishing House, Cao Zhiqiang?"
Speaking of this, the shortest girl looked at the fattest woman and said, "Sister Ma, it seems to be true."
The tallest woman, who was called Sister Ma, took the business card, looked at it, and then nodded: "It seems true."
Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you believe it now? Well, is Sister Hao at home? I have something to do with her."
The one called Sister Ma
The woman immediately smiled and said, "Sister Hao just went out to buy things. She should be back soon. How about you come in and sit for a while?"
Cao Zhiqiang waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, it won't work. There are all women among you. I, a grown man, are not suitable."
Sister Ma laughed and said, "If there's anything inappropriate, come on, come in and talk!"
Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, I won't go in, just wait here."
"How can this be possible?" The shortest girl laughed, "We just misunderstood, why don't we let you in? If Sister Hao finds out, she will definitely blame us!"
"No, no, no!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand again and took a step back, "I'm here, no, I'll come back another day, another day, another day!"
After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang turned around and ran away without waiting for the other party to speak.
Just kidding, there are all young women inside. If he enters as a man, it will be easy to say or not. If someone does something bad and is gossiped about, and he is said to be a hooligan, it is really hard to say.
However, when Cao Zhiqiang ran out, by chance, he ran into Hao Shuwen, who had just returned, at the gate.
Hao Shuwen was not alone. She was accompanied by three female attendants. They all carried a net bag in each hand. The net bag was full of food, including canned vegetables and eggs, as well as chicken, duck and fish. There was quite a lot of it. She had obviously just returned from grocery shopping. , this is what it would be like to have a dinner at home.
"Zhiqiang?" Seeing Cao Zhiqiang bumping into her head-on, Hao Shuwen was startled, subconsciously threw away the things in her hands, and ran over excitedly to hug Cao Zhiqiang, "I miss you so much!"
….
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment as he was being hugged. He subconsciously looked at the pairs of eyes with different expressions around him and said quickly: "Sister, I miss you too! Also, there are so many people, why don't you introduce me?"
When Cao Zhiqiang said this, Hao Shuwen came back to her senses, quickly let go of Cao Zhiqiang, and then turned around and said to everyone: "This is my brother, I haven't seen him for a long time, he was just excited for a while, don't get me wrong!"
"No misunderstanding!"
"how come!"
"We all know your feelings!"
"That's right, sister, we didn't get it wrong!"
"That's right, whoever dares to chew her tongue will have my tongue picked out!"
Seeing everyone talking in a flurry, Hao Shuwen's face turned red, and then she said: "Okay, okay, it's all gone!"
Immediately afterwards, Hao Shuwen said loudly: "Today my brother is here, I, I have to take care of him. You all leave, hurry up and leave!"
"Hey!" At this time, a woman in her mid-twenties said with a smile, "Shuwen, after you have a younger brother, you forget about your sisters? You can't be so ungrateful, right?"
"Go away!" Hao Shuwen immediately laughed and scolded, "We can get together at any time. My brother doesn't come here often. He always leaves. I want to have a meal alone with my brother and chat. Besides, he is most likely to have trouble with me. , don’t stay and cause trouble.”
"But we agreed before that we would have a barbecue together today!" One of the women said, "Everyone here is here and everything has been bought. Isn't it appropriate for you to drive us away at this time?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly remembered that there were indeed a few simple barbecue stoves in the yard when he entered the hospital.
He didn't think much about it before, but now he thinks about it, these girls are planning to have an outdoor Barbie Q in the yard.
"What are you talking about!" Hao Shuwen glared, "My brother is here. How can I be in the mood to have barbecue with you, so hurry up and leave!"
"Oh, how can this be done!"
"That's right, I'm so hungry!"
"Forgetting your friends when you see your younger brothers is so unloyal!"
"There will be a concert later!"
"How about letting your younger brother join us?"
"No, no, we are all women, how can he come as a man? Something will happen!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"What else can we do? Let his brother go back first and make an appointment tomorrow."
Just as everyone was chatting, Hao Shuwen suddenly shouted:
"That's enough, stop!"
After shocking everyone, Hao Shuwen pinched her waist with both hands and said, "Okay, I understand, let's do this. You guys continue to eat barbecue here, and I will go out with my brother to find a place to make a date alone. Is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, the young women looked at each other, and then one of them said: "Sister Hao, you are the one who set up this game today, and you won't be around when it happens, isn't that appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?" Hao Shuwen said, "The place is mine and the things are mine, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not, it's not bad this time anyway.
But my brother is different. He won't come back easily, and maybe he has something serious to do with me.
That's it, that's it. You guys are just playing around here. It's the same rules after eating.
I will go out with my brother first. If I come back early, I will continue to play with you. If I come back late, or if I don’t come back, then you can do it yourself. Just clean up after eating and go back by yourself.
….
By the way, if I don't come back, remember to lock the door for me when you leave! "
Upon hearing this, the young women looked at each other again, and then agreed with a smile.
Also, the main purpose of everyone is to eat, drink and have fun. As for Hao Shuwen, the organizer, it doesn't matter whether she is there or not. The key is to eat and drink well.
In other words, these women are, in all likelihood, just a bunch of dog-meat friends.
Who says that only men have bad friends? In fact, women are the same.
Especially in this era when supplies are relatively expensive, being able to eat and drink freely and hold a party similar to those in American movies and TV shows is certainly what some young and artistic young women dream of.
Yes, Cao Zhiqiang could tell at a glance that these people were actually having a party, just in the name of the salon.
Those musical instruments and drawing boards placed on the ground were probably used to bluff people, or they were used as shields.
It would be fine if no one comes to check. If someone does come to check, such as the police, they can say that they are holding an art salon or literary seminar.
It's just like a child holding a musical instrument and saying that he is going to a cram school. In fact, going to the cram school is not to practice the piano, but to eat, drink and have fun.
This is the same as the suburban salon that Cao Zhiqiang was taken to by Hao Shuwen before. They are selling themselves off. On the surface, they are engaging in artistic exchanges, but in fact they are just holding parties, and even dancing if they fail.
It's just that the one Hao Shuwen built is more convenient. It's right in the city center, so you don't have to take a car all the way to the suburbs.
But there is still no problem in terms of safety. After all, there are only women here and no men, so there will be no problem no matter what.
It seems that in the days when Cao Zhiqiang was away, this Hao Shuwen was not lonely at all and had a lot of fun.
In fact, it is possible that Hao Shuwen can still make money by organizing this.
As expected of ***, he just knows how to play!
While Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, Hao Shuwen tugged Cao Zhiqiang's arm: "Why are you standing there? Come with me. Didn't you call me before and tell me that you have something important to see me for?"
Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen also winked at Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang reacted immediately: "Oh, yes, yes, that's what happened. Look at me, I'm confused. Sister Hao, let's go right now."
Hao Shuwen smiled, glared and said, "Go out and wait, I will go out to find you soon!"
After Cao Zhiqiang walked out of the door first and left the courtyard, Hao Shuwen turned around and waved goodbye to her group of female girlfriends. She also found a few confidants and gave some careful instructions.
After finishing her instructions, Hao Shuwen walked out of the courtyard door.
When she came outside the gate and looked at Cao Zhiqiang standing alone, Hao Shuwen swallowed subconsciously, then walked over with a smile and whispered: "You damn ghost, you didn't even say anything in advance, and you made a surprise attack on me? Why? , are you afraid that I will cuckold you?"
Cao Zhiqiang was startled, looked around quickly, and whispered: "Sister, are you crazy? You dare to say anything? And it's still at the gate. Aren't you afraid of being heard?"
Hao Shuwen looked back at the door she had closed and whispered, "What are you afraid of? No one can hear you from this far away."
Immediately afterwards, Hao Shuwen twisted Cao Zhiqiang's arm and said resentfully: "What's the matter with you? You haven't come to me for so long? Are you tired of playing with me and want to dump me?"
"How is that possible!" Cao Zhiqiang shook his head quickly, "You don't know yet, isn't this... busy!"
Hao Shuwen bit her lip and whispered: "Stop talking, let's go to your place, I, I'll play poker with you first."
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned: "This, this point?"
Hao Shuwen glared at Cao Zhiqiang: "What else? Who doesn't know that you, your noble, are busy? Hurry up, don't waste time, or you'll say you don't have time!"
Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen lowered her voice and said: "And this is not the right point. After we finish playing poker, we can just have dinner and replenish ourselves. I am doing it for your own good."
Cao Zhiqiang clicked his tongue: "That makes sense, then let's go back immediately and play a game of poker before we talk!"
"No, at least three games in a row!"
"Sister, is this inappropriate?"
"Stop rambling, it's settled!"
