Early the next morning, Cao Zhiqiang, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
After being awakened by the ringing of the phone, Cao Zhiqiang frowned and did not get up. Instead, he turned over, simply lay on the bed, buried his head in the pillow and continued to sleep.
Cao Zhiqiang originally planned to have a good sleep today, but who knew he would get a call early in the morning.
After the phone rang for a while, it seemed that no one answered the call, so it stopped. But after a while, the phone rang again.
At this moment, Wu Qinghong, who was sleeping next to Cao Zhiqiang, was also woken up. After yawning, she sat up from the bed and said, "Who is calling me so early in the morning?"
After saying that, Wu Qinghong turned to look at Hu Qiang, who was still sleeping on his stomach, and gently pushed his shoulder: "Zhiqiang, phone."
"Don't worry about him." Cao Zhiqiang said while lying on his stomach.
Wu Qinghong frowned and listened to the phone that was still ringing: "But the phone keeps ringing. Is there something urgent?"
"It's so early in the morning, what's the emergency?" Cao Zhiqiang said with his eyes closed, "Go to sleep, don't worry about it."
Wu Qinghong said: "Why are you sleeping? The phone keeps ringing and I can't sleep. Let me go and hear what's going on. If it's really not important, just ask the front desk to stop calling."
"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang responded casually, "Go ahead."
Wu Qinghong then lifted the quilt, got out of bed naked, picked up a pajama from the chair beside the bed and put it on with ease, and then came to the living room outside.
After arriving in the living room, Wu Qinghong deliberately cleared her throat, then picked up the phone and asked softly: "Hey, who are you looking for?"
Soon, the Cantonese Mandarin voice of the hotel receptionist came over the phone: "Hello, guest, there is a Mr. He Yuzhu who wants to see Mr. Cao Zhiqiang. He also said that he is Mr. Cao Zhiqiang's elder and old neighbor. He has something important to do. Find him.
Could you please inform Mr. Cao Zhiqiang and ask him if it is convenient to see Mr. He Yuzhu now? "
Wu Qinghong was stunned: "He Yuzhu? The other party calls himself He Yuzhu?"
Well, now Wu Qinghong has a general idea of the various people in Cao Zhiqiang's hometown, the courtyard, at least she knows who He Yuzhu is.
After all, He Yuzhu is the absolute leader in the courtyard, and he is also one of the partners of the restaurant opened by Cao Zhiqiang. It is difficult for Wu Qinghong not to know.
"Yes." The front desk clerk said, "The other party did call himself He Yuzhu. He also said that he was the uncle who grew up watching Mr. Cao Zhiqiang. He is currently here at the front desk."
Just when I heard this, I suddenly heard He Yuzhu's voice on the phone: "Is it connected? I knew he was here. Quick, give me the phone and I'll tell him!"
Soon, He Yuzhu's loud voice was heard on the phone: "Hey, Qiangzi, I, your Uncle He, the front desk won't let me in. Please tell them quickly and let me go to you. I'll see you if I have something to do." discuss."
Hearing this voice, Wu Qinghong chuckled quickly and said: "Uncle He, I am Wu Qinghong, not Zhiqiang. Well, Zhiqiang is still sleeping and has not woken up yet."
"Ah? He's not awake yet?" He Yuzhu asked, "What time is it and he's not awake yet? Get him up quickly. I have something to tell him."
Wu Qinghong had no choice but to say: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll call him. By the way, Uncle He, please give the phone to the front desk."
Soon, the front desk clerk's voice came over the phone again: "Hello, guest, what are your instructions?"
Wu Qinghong said: "Hello, please let Mr. He Yuzhu sit and wait in the hall. By the way, give him a pot of tea first, and then some snacks and snacks, and we will settle the account."
The waitress at the front desk continued to speak in Cantonese Mandarin: "Okay guest, we understand. Do you have any other instructions?"
"No, let's leave it at that for now." Wu Qinghong said, "By the way, tell Mr. He Yuzhu to wait for us for a while, we will go down soon."
The waitress at the front desk said: "Okay, we will definitely convey it to you."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Qinghong once again lamented the excellent service attitude here, which was completely different from other hotels.
Isn't that right? At this time, the Jianguo Hotel had just opened, and most of the waiters inside were hired from the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel Group to manage them. They were all experienced hotel managers in the world, and the service quality was of course the same as at this time. It is different from other hotels in the country.
In fact, Jianguo Hotel at this time was definitely the number one in the country in terms of service quality alone, unmatched by any other hotel.
It is precisely the service quality of Jianguo Hotel that makes Chinese people truly realize what real hotel service is and what it means to truly feel at home.
Of course, Wu Qinghong didn't know the inside story. She only knew that Jianguo Hotel had a beautiful environment, excellent service, and the price was also very expensive. That was enough.
At first, Wu Qinghong didn't quite understand Cao Zhiqiang, why he had to spend a lot of money to stay in a hotel even though he had his own house.
It wasn't until she stayed in a hotel with Cao Zhiqiang for a while recently that she finally understood how good it was here.
This kind of life with convenient facilities, elegant environment, and people waiting on you at all times is really enjoyable.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Qinghong trotted back to the bedroom and whispered to Cao Zhiqiang: "Zhiqiang, get up, get up quickly!"
Cao Zhiqiang continued to lie on the bed with his eyes closed and said, "Oh, don't disturb me. I'm sleepy. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
Wu Qinghong said: "Uncle He is here. He is in the hotel. He said he wants to discuss something with you. I think you should go and listen."
"Who?" Cao Zhiqiang asked, "Who is here?"
"Uncle He." Wu Qinghong said, "That's He Yuzhu in your yard."
Cao Zhiqiang turned over and opened his eyes: "He Yuzhu? He came to see me?"
"Yes." Wu Qinghong said, "That's him. He just asked the front desk clerk to call you. It seems that he has something serious to discuss with you, otherwise he wouldn't come here in person.
I temporarily asked the waiter to take him to wait for you in the lobby, and also asked him to serve him tea and snacks. After you clean up, just go to the lobby to meet him. "
After a brief pause, Wu Qinghong asked carefully: "I, I arranged it this way, is it okay? Will you be unhappy?"
Cao Zhiqiang frowned, then smiled and said: "How come, your arrangement is quite good."
Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his eyes, then sat up and asked, "What time is it?"
Wu Qinghong looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table: "A quarter past six in the morning."
"Come so early?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "It seems something is really going on."
Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang yawned, stretched, and then said: "Okay, I'm already awake anyway, so it would be nice to see him, but I'm too lazy to move. If I go to see him...
Qinghong, in this case, you call the front desk and ask He Yuzhu to come here directly to find me. "
Wu Qinghong was stunned: "You want Uncle He to come here to see you?"
"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang yawned again, "Is there any problem?"
"Isn't this not good?" Wu Qinghong said, "He is your elder after all."
Cao Zhiqiang curled his lips: "What are the elders and not the elders? Since he comes to me, he is asking for something from me. Since he is asking for something from me, he must follow my rules.
Besides, the conversation here is also more pure and private. "
Wu Qinghong smiled: "I think you are just lazy."
"Correct answer." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "Okay, that's it, I'll go wash up first."
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang got out of bed naked and went directly to the bathroom to wash up.
After Cao Zhiqiang finished playing the large and trumpet leisurely, took a shower, brushed his teeth, put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom, he found that Wu Qinghong had already dressed, and was holding a porcelain teapot, squeezing Pour hot water under the thermos bottle.
Push-type thermos bottles are already available in China at this time, but they are not very common among the people. However, in some high-end hotels, this thing is no longer rare.
Of course, the push-type thermos bottle is actually popular now and is synonymous with high-end thermos bottles. As time goes by, this thing is gradually eliminated from big hotels.
"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang said in surprise, "Qinghong, why are you wearing clothes?"
Wu Qinghong, who was filling the teapot with hot water, blushed and pouted behind Cao Zhiqiang: "What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle He is here."
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, turned around, and sure enough, he found He Yuzhu sitting listlessly on the sofa in the living room in a daze.
Seeing this scene, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and realized that he had been in the bathroom for a bit too long.
No, it can't be said that he was in the bathroom for a long time. It can only be said that He Yuzhu came too quickly.
And looking at how he looks now, he is really worried.
After laughing, Cao Zhiqiang didn't change his clothes, just wore a bathrobe, walked to He Yuzhu and sat down: "Uncle He, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I slept a little late last night."
"It's okay." He Yuzhu sighed, "Don't worry about it."
Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Okay, Uncle He, why did you come to me early this morning?"
He Yuzhu raised his head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "I..."
Speaking of this, He Yuzhu suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at Wu Qinghong.
Cao Zhiqiang frowned and quickly reacted, then turned to Wu Qinghong and said: "Qinghong, go to the Western restaurant and see what food is available today. We will go find you later."
When Wu Qinghong heard it, she immediately understood what it meant.
So Wu Qinghong smiled and said: "Okay."
After saying that, Wu Qinghong brought over the teapot with hot water and put it on the coffee table. Then she smiled and said: "I'm going out first. You guys can chat slowly by yourselves. By the way, the tea is a bit hot, so be careful when drinking it."
"Okay, we know." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
Wu Qinghong smiled at He Yuzhu and Cao Zhiqiang, and then left quickly.
After Wu Qinghong left the room, Cao Zhiqiang said to He Yuzhu, "Can we talk now?"
He Yuzhu tilted his head and nodded: "Okay, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Your Uncle He, your head is full of mud right now, and you don't know what to do.
Then, after thinking about it, it seemed that no one could really discuss it with you except you, so I came to you.
You have a great mind and an objective stance, so you should be able to give me some advice. "
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, smiled and said: "If I'm not wrong, the thing that makes you so troubled...is about Aunt Lou and your son, right?"
He Yuzhu slapped his thigh: "If I don't say you have a great brain, you can guess right!"
Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu recounted part of his conversation with Lou Xiao'e yesterday, as well as everyone's behavior after returning to the courtyard, especially Qin Huairu's attitude and Uncle Yi's statement.
After finishing speaking, He Yuzhu sighed and said: "Last night, I didn't sleep all night. It's not that I didn't want to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
In my mind, I'm always thinking about what happened with Lou Xiao'e.
Tell me, I think back then, I really liked Lou Xiao'e, and she also liked me. We were both in love, and we were in love with each other.
But, one day, Lou Xiao'e suddenly left without saying goodbye, and her whole body disappeared.
Of course, I also know that she has difficulties. When she came back this time, she also told me her reasons for leaving without saying goodbye. I can understand this, and I am very grateful to her.
Because I know that Lou Xiao'e left me in the first place to protect me. Who could have allowed Xu Damao to cause trouble behind her back, threaten her, and insist on driving her away, or else she would cause trouble for me.
Not to mention, Lou Xiaoe also gave birth to a son for me, a biological son.
In short, when I think about it carefully, I actually owe her a lot. It is me who owes her. It is me who is sorry for her, not her who is sorry for me. "
Speaking of this, He Yuzhu suddenly lowered his head and became silent.
This situation is rare. After all, people like He Yuzhu are rarely completely silent. His characteristic is that he is talkative.
To silence a talkative talker now, it shows that he is really upset and at a loss.
Seeing that He Yuzhu remained silent, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, poured a cup of tea for He Yuzhu and himself, and then asked: "Uncle He, keep talking. How can I give you advice if you don't tell me what you want to do?"
"Ah, yes, say it, keep talking." He Yuzhu nodded quickly after coming back to his senses, "By the way, what did I just say?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "You just said that Aunt Lou had to leave in the first place. It was you who was sorry for Aunt Lou, not her who was sorry for you. You owe her, not she who owes you."
"That's right!" He Yuzhu nodded, then looked down at his tea cup and said, "I owe her, not she owes me."
After a pause, He Yuzhu continued to stare at his tea cup and said: "He is like this, it must be Lou Xiao'e. She suddenly brought her son to see me this time. This is indeed a surprise.
Originally, I thought that Lou Xiao'e came here just to bring my son to recognize her relatives and reminisce about old times, but when she talked to me in private, she was talking subtly and I could tell that she wanted me to go with her and follow her. She's back together.
Ordinarily, I owe her a lot, but now that she wants to reunite with me, I should repay her debt.
And if I'm with her, my life can be better than now. The most important thing is that I can still be with my son all day long.
But, but..."
"But you still can't let go of Qin Huairu?" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly answered.
He Yuzhu was stunned, and raised his head to look at Cao Zhiqiang, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He didn't care that he called Qin Huairu by his name, and nodded dejectedly: "Yes, that's right!"
Cao Zhiqiang said: "So you came to me because you couldn't make up your mind and didn't know who to choose, so you came to ask my opinion?"
He Yuzhu sighed deeply: "I can't hide anything from you, that's it!"
