"You think this old lady is so old, why is she knitting this for me? I don't need it."
Lou Xiao'e, who was holding the sweater in her hand, couldn't help but think of everything in the courtyard again, and carefully folded the sweater with a smile in her eyes.
"Sister, don't cry in a hurry, I still have some more." Chu Heng looked at Lou Xiao'e with hazy eyes, and pushed the last package over while holding it back.
"Whose is this?" Lou Xiao'e's attention was instantly diverted and she reached out to take the package.
"You'll find out when you open it." The corners of Chu Heng's mouth turned up slightly, as if he was watching the fun.
"Mysterious."
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him, and opened the tight packaging in a few moments, revealing the snack box inside. She picked up her pretty eyebrows, opened the box, and saw the pork chops and fried beans with salt inside.
"this……"
Looking blankly at the two things in the box, her heart suddenly trembled, as if something sensitive had been poked hard, and her whole body became weak.
Pai Chaer, fried beans with salt.
These are two very common things.
Maybe he was the only one who gave these two things as gifts to her.
"Crack!"
She picked up a piece of pork chop and put it in her mouth, closed her eyes and tasted it carefully, and then ate another fried bean with salt.
"It's still the same smell, it hasn't changed at all." Lou Xiao'e's eyes turned red again, and her eyes gradually became hollow. She remembered the time when she was with Silly Zhu, the time when she laughed and cursed with him, and the time when she got under the quilt...
"Come on, there's more."
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Chu Heng took out the letter from his arms and handed it over, saying softly: "It was written by Brother Zhuzhu."
"Uh-huh!"
Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand and snatched the letter almost in a grabbing manner. Then, as if she was holding some rare treasure, she carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, lowered her head and read it carefully.
She read slowly, crying and laughing at times as she read the letter.
There is only so much credibility, and there is always a time to finish reading it. After a while, she read to the end. Silly Zhu asked her to live a good life and everyone was safe.
"No man has a good cake, they are all old things!" Lou Xiao'e's face turned cold, and she wanted to tear up the letter angrily, but she couldn't bear it after gesticulating, so she put it back in the envelope and carefully put it in her pocket.
Chu Heng, who was opposite, gave her a fierce look.
You yourself have found a greasy-faced servant to have fun with every night, but when you get a wife, you like the new and dislike the old?
What kind of nonsense is this?
But he didn't have the intention to complain to Silly Zhu, and besides, he didn't have the ability to explain things clearly to Lou Xiao'e at this time.
"Squeak!"
At this moment, the tool man Pan Rui walked in, carrying a bottle of red wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "The food is ready, it will be served soon."
As he said that, he sat down next to Lou Xiao'e, looked at the pile of things on the table, and curiously reached out to touch the snack box: "Is this something from Xiao'e's hometown?"
"Snapped!"
"Don't move, Hengzi brought this specially for me!" Lou Xiao'e, who was scolding Silly Zhu just now, glared and slapped his hand away, then put the snack box away like a treasure and put it on the stool aside.
"Haha, look at her, she's still protecting food, just like a child."
Rui smiled awkwardly at Chu Heng, then moved his buttocks to sit next to him, handed over the red wine, and introduced: "This is the Margaux that I specially bought for you. I personally like this wine very much." , its wine aroma is very rich, Mr. Chu, let’s see if this bottle of wine is good, if so we will drink this bottle today.”
"Okay, I'm not picky about this." Chu Heng took it over and looked at it before handing it back. He didn't like drinking red wine and didn't do much research, so he pretended to understand.
"Then drink it?" Pan Rui confirmed again.
"Sure." Chu Hengke nodded casually.
Lou Xiao'e, who had just put away her things, frowned when she saw this and scolded: "Drink whatever you want. Ren Hengzi likes to drink Maotai. I have people ready. Hurry up and put away your crappy stuff."
"Ah, so that's it, but I wasted no time." Pan Rui put the red wine aside angrily, and started to talk without having anything to say.
"What kind of business does Mr. Chu do now?"
"I'm going to do some foreign trade now."
"Wow, big business."
"Haha, no, it's just a small business."
"Don't be modest. I also know a bit about foreign trade. A friend of mine does this. It's very profitable."
"It's not bad."
Chu Heng chatted with him perfunctorily for a while, and then the waiter brought the dishes. And because there was an outsider like Pan Rui present, he and Lou Xiao'e couldn't talk much. They just picked up some things they could talk about, and then After eating and drinking, at almost four o'clock, he said goodbye, left the restaurant, and took a car.
Soon he returned to the Mandarin Hotel. As soon as he entered the lobby, Sha Yingdong came up to him and reported to him: "Mr. Chu, not long after you left, Mr. Owen called you. He asked you When you get back, hurry up and call him back."
"Why did he find me again?"
Chu Heng couldn't help but be a little confused.
This Owen is the deputy director of the Chief Secretary of the Hong Kong Government. It was this person who handled the purchase of the land for him. After the transaction was completed, he even gave him a bottle of tiger penis wine.
"I understand." Chu Heng nodded and went upstairs with confusion. When he returned to the room, he took out the phone book, found Owen's contact information, picked up the phone and dialed it.
Soon, the call was connected, and it was Irving's servant who answered the call. After he explained his purpose, Irving answered the phone after a while.
"Hello, Chu, have you returned to the hotel now?"
"Yes, Mr. Owen, I wonder what you want from me?"
"We'll talk about this later. I'll go find you now."
"Okay, see you later."
"see you later."
Chu Heng hung up the phone in surprise, wondering what Owen was up to, when a dignified deputy director came over to see him.
After frowning and thinking for a while, he got up and went downstairs to pick up someone.
Owen, a stubborn guy, is a veteran British aristocrat who cares about pomp and face. If he didn't come to pick him up, there would definitely be complaints and dissatisfaction.
And he is just a businessman here. It is not easy to offend these powerful people, so he can only feel aggrieved.
But making money is not shabby.
A few moments.
When Chu Heng came out of the elevator, the waiter in the lobby saw him and hurriedly came over and asked, "Hello, Mr. Chu, what can I do for you?"
"Go and tell the doorman to notify me immediately when Mr. Irving arrives." Chu Heng told him, then walked to the sofa not far from the gate and sat down alone, holding a newspaper and reading it. Wait.
He waited for more than twenty minutes.
Just when Chu Heng was getting impatient, a doorman walked in quickly and said, "Mr. Chu, Mr. Owen is here."
"Damn it, the damn foreign devil is finally here!" Chu Heng frowned and dropped the newspaper, stood up and walked quickly to the door, just in time to see Owen getting out of the car.
"Haha, long time no see, my friend!"
He immediately walked forward enthusiastically and hugged the other person.
"Long time no see, Chu."
Irving also treated him very warmly as his sponsor. The two of them smiled and exchanged a few polite words in front of the door before walking into the hotel together.
