Chapter 7 Chapter VII

"...take that plate for me, I like to eat that, the sushi in this shop is really delicious." Shi Zhi, who was just muttering about hating sushi just a moment ago, now has five empty plates in front of her. plate. Meng Xianglian, who was sitting among them, didn't eat much, and there was only an empty plate in front of her. "Xianglian, why don't you eat it?" Suo Jiaqi handed the salmon roe sushi to Shi Zhi, and asked Meng Xianglian with concern. "I...I'm eating." Meng Xianglian glanced at Shi Zhi. "Why are you looking at me?" Shi Zhi stuffed a piece of sushi into his mouth and muttered.

"No...it's okay." Meng Xianglian asked with a smile, "Do you also like sushi?" "Not at all, I just happened to be hungry." In the past, she could eat at any time in the hall, but now she came to Suo's company and had to wait until after get off work to eat. Of course she was hungry. "Eat slowly, and be careful not to choke." Suo Jiaqi looked at her eating and thought it was really interesting. "I can't be that stupid. I want mustard." "You can really eat spicy food." The three of them chatted while eating... "So you are a classmate of Jiaxun University?" Shi Zhi glanced at Xianglian.

"That's right. My parents died in the earthquake. If Brother Suo hadn't paid for my tutoring and tuition fees, I might not have been able to go to college." Meng Xianglian looked at Suojiaqi gratefully. "Don't talk about this. Jia Xun has always praised you as a good girl and good homework. It's a pity not to go to college." "Oh, I didn't expect you to be a kind person." On the surface, although Shi Zhi was mocking Suo Jiaqi with a smile, his affection for him increased a bit in his heart. He can help some suffering people, which means that he is a caring and kind man.

Suo Jiaqi smiled and ate sushi by himself. "Brother Suo, please accept this money... I owe you too much money." Meng Xianglian bowed her head. He also paid for her living expenses, and even the place where she lived was locked up by them. "Didn't I say that, I won't ask you for the money back. As long as you study hard, you will have the financial ability to help some poor people in the future." Suo Jiaqi pushed the money back again. "I have tutoring fees now, I can..." "Oh, what's the money? Take it, take it, they lock up the house with a lot of money, and he won't pay attention to such a small amount of money." Shi Zhi saw them pushing the money back and forth, really I couldn't bear to watch it any longer. As soon as she made a sound, the problem was easily solved.

"Ah! Too bad, I have to go to the tutoring center. The director said that there is a new job for me." Meng Xianglian looked at her watch and got up immediately. "Let Shi Zhi drive you there." "No need, the tutoring center is not far from here." Before leaving, Meng Xianglian glanced at Shi Zhi again. Shi Zhi scratched the back of his head, feeling baffled, could it be that she regarded her as a love rival? After eating sushi, Suo Jiaqi took Shi Zhi to her future residence. "This room belongs to Xianglian, and the empty room opposite is for you." Suo Jiaqi led her into an apartment with a floor area of ​​about 40 square meters. There are only two rooms on the first floor, which is quite large.

"I want to live with her?" Shi Zhi's eyes widened.When rivals in love meet each other, they are extremely jealous. Doesn't he understand this truth? "You don't want to? There is another floor upstairs. If you don't like this place, you can live upstairs." Suo Jiaqi originally wanted to let them live together and take care of each other, but since she has objections, he will not force it.Everything, as long as she is happy. "Uh, forget it, saving energy, living together can also save electricity." Shi Zhi shrugged. "Are you sure!" He raised his eyebrows and walked into the room with a smile. "In this room, there is everything you need. If you want anything, just ask."

Shi Zhi's gaze scanned the surroundings of the room, wardrobe, bedding...everything is available, nothing is missing. "Give me a gold pillow, a gold quilt, a gold comb, a gold chair...that's it." She sat on the spring bed, bounced playfully, and said what she wanted. He said he could get whatever he wanted, so why was she being polite to him? Suo Jiaqi sat down beside her. "Do you really want it? Then tomorrow I will ask the master to order it." "Really?" She glanced at him. He brought his face close to her eyes. "Believe it or not, as long as you want, I will find a way to get it for you."

He really thinks that she looks more and more beautiful, she exudes a kind of charm that ordinary women don't have, she has personality, personality and beauty...it fascinates him very much. He suddenly looked at her so affectionately, causing her heart to miss a few beats, and she panicked shyly. She stood up nervously. "You...you don't have to pretend to be kind! Why are you so kind to me? Is there some conspiracy?" He laughed and stood up behind her. "I treat you well... oh, that's because you saved me." He found an excuse to prevaricate, he was afraid that he would scare her away by saying that he was nice to her because he liked her.

"When did I save you, why didn't I know?" "You helped me block those women today and made my work go smoothly." So this is what he was referring to! While her mood was settling, she felt a little lost and sad... He said that he wanted to give her something just because she helped him get in the way, and there were no other factors? That's right, she is not the lovely and pitiful Xianglian, she doesn't need a man's protection at all. In her, he couldn't show his love and kindness, so how could he like her? Shi Zhi turned around dejectedly, and found that he was so close to her, she stared at him blankly.

"What are you doing standing behind me?" "Shi Zhi...you are beautiful, do you know that?" He stared at her affectionately. "You...you stop making fun of me." She pushed him out of the room. "You go, walk back by yourself, I won't drive you, remember to close the door." After she finished speaking, she closed the door, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips. This apartment is not far from his home, let him walk for about ten minutes, consider it exercise! Hearing the sound of the door closing, she opened the door and poked her head out to take a look... He really left.

"I hate it, why do you say that people are beautiful for no reason." She couldn't hold back her joy, and went back to the room to look in the mirror. For the first time in twenty-six years, she looked at herself in the mirror narcissistically for more than half an hour... "My God, I'm so beautiful!" In the mirror, she always had a smile on her face, and when she thought of what he said about her beauty, her smile grew stronger... "Morning, Dad." "Mom, morning." After Suo Jiaqi put on his work clothes, he went down the stairs and arrived at the living room. His parents had already gotten up and read newspapers in the living room. "Morning, brother, Mama Feng has prepared breakfast, go and eat it quickly." Jia Xun smiled Mimi. "You seem to be in great spirits recently!" "Is there?" Suo Jiaqi patted Jia Xun's head and smiled. "By the way, Jia Qi, today we are going to sign a contract with Chairman Wang. You and I will go to the company later. You should prepare the signing documents. I will come to the company later." Suo Fude raised his head and talked with his son. Said. "Okay, I will prepare." Suo Jiaqi nodded. "Dad, Mom, it's time for breakfast." "You guys eat first, I still need to read the newspaper." Suo Fude didn't even look up, and focused on the economic page. "Mom, it's breakfast." "it is good." Jiaqi's mother Liu Yaqin, as soon as she sat down at the dining table, asked her son, "Jiaqi, how is your relationship with Dong Wang's daughter going? Is there any progress? to your people." "I haven't dated her." Suo Jiaqi replied briefly. It has been more than half a month since Shi Zhi came to the company. He accompanied her to play billiards almost every night. Her billiards skills are really good, not losing to the national pool players at all. He just accompanied her to learn. "You and her... have no relationship? Then who do you date every night?" Liu Yaqin was quite puzzled. "Mom, elder brother went out with Shi Zhi." Jia Xun interjected from the side. "Shi Zhi! How many times have you been to the house, Grandpa Shi Yuan's granddaughter?" Liu Yaqin's eyes widened in surprise. Suo Jiaqi nodded. "Jia Xun said that she is a gang member, is it true?" "Mom, Shi Zhi is not the kind of bastard you think..." Suo Jiaqi could tell from her mother's tone that she was worried. "She is from the Tianzi League." "It's the same for any alliance! Why did you provoke those underworld people?" As a mother, she is always very worried about such things. "Mom, Shi Zhi is not a bad person, besides, the elder brother likes her very much!" After Jia Xun finished speaking, she looked at her mother with a smile. "You...you like her?" Liu Yaqin stood up anxiously when she saw her husband walk in. "Fude, Jiaqi said he likes Shizhi..." "I think Shi Zhi is a pretty good girl!" After chatting with Shi Zhi a few times, Suo Fude liked her straightforward and non-hypocritical personality very much. "But what kind of alliance is she!" "Look at this newspaper, Chu Shaosun, the leader of the Tianzi League..." Suo Fude handed the newspaper to his wife. "He is about the same age as Jia Qi. He was already a leader in the business world when he was in high school. Shi Zhi is his subordinate. It is our honor that he is willing to come to our company to submit." Liu Yaqin looked at the newspaper, she knew that Chu Shaosun was the leader of the Tianzi League. "Since you don't object anymore, I have no objection either." Liu Yaqin sat back in her seat. "Jia Qi, Mom asks you, do you only consider her a friend, or do you want to marry her as your wife?" "Mom, she is your future wife. However, I am still working hard." Suo Jiaqi grinned. "Then invite her to come over for dinner often, and Mom will hint her." "Don't meddle in the affairs of young people. It will be even worse if it becomes self-defeating." Suo Fude shook his head and sighed. "Dad, Mom, I'm going to the company first, you take your time." Suo Jiaqi happily stepped out of the living room, with the support of his family, he was even more sure of Shi Zhi's love. "Wang Dong, happy cooperation, happy cooperation!" After signing the contract with Mr. Wang, Suo's father and son and Mr. Wang chatted in Mr. Wang's office. While the three were chatting happily, the door of the office was suddenly opened. Wang Dong thought it was the secretary and was about to curse, but saw his precious daughter walking in. "Yu Jie, you are really rude, won't you knock on the door before you come in?" Director Wang scolded. "Dad, I knocked, but you didn't hear me." Wang Yujie argued. "What are you doing here? You go out first, you and Uncle Suo have something to talk about." "I'm here to find Jiaqi." Wang Yujie took the initiative to hook Suo Jiaqi's hand. "Jiaqi, didn't you ask me out for lunch?" "I..." Suo Jiaqi swallowed the "no" abruptly.He knew that Wang Dong was a good-looking person, although he didn't like Yu Jie, he had to take Wang Dong's face into consideration. "Yu Jie..." Wang Dong glared at his daughter. "Jia Qi, since you have made an appointment with Yu Jie, then you can go." Suo Fude said with a smile: "Wang Dong and I need to chat for a while." "Dad, I..." "Go." Suo Fude thought to himself, his son should speak clearly with Yu Jie. "Okay, then let's go." In the end, it was the father-son bond, knowing his father's intentions, Suo Jiaqi simply agreed to Wang Yujie's self-made invitation. Wang Yujie smiled triumphantly, she had expected that in front of her father, Suo Jiaqi would not refuse to have a meal with her. "Dad, let's go." Wang Yujie happily pulled Suojia away together. "Oh, this child is spoiled by her mother." Wang Dong sighed, "I hope you are more tolerant." He is not so stupid that he can't see that Jia Qi doesn't like his daughter at all. "Let's not worry about young people's affairs." Suo Fude still said the same old saying. "Jiaqi, why don't you eat?" It was rare to meet Suo Jiaqi, but Wang Yujie tried her best to put on the most charming side. "Yu Jie..." "Huh? What's the matter?" Wang Yujie rested her chin lightly on the back of her hand, and stared at him intently with her big eyes wide open. "Yu Jie, I have something to tell you clearly." "Let's eat first and then talk! Wait a minute, you can go shopping with me, okay?" "I have to go back to the company." "It's disgusting! It's just shopping, and you don't want to." Wang Yujie pouted. "Yu Jie, we are just ordinary friends, I have no obligation to spend time with you." Suo Jiaqi said frankly.If he doesn't point it out, Wang Yujie may really regard him as her exclusive property. "Jiaqi, what do you mean by this?" Wang Yujie put down the knife and fork, her face covered with powder was full of anger. "You still treat me as an ordinary friend! Can't you feel that I'm treating you so hard?" "Yu Jie, listen to me, love...it's not that if you keep coming to me, I will fall in love with you." Suo Jiaqi said with a straight face: "Actually, you have already disturbed me by coming to me. working hours." "So you hired that man-in-law to stop me?" When she mentioned this, she remembered what she had always wanted to ask him. "That man, she said you kissed her, how could you invite someone who can tell such a lie?" "She didn't lie." Suo Jiaqi looked solemn. "I did kiss her." "You..." Wang Yujie's eyes widened in disbelief. "You kissed her? You liked her?" "Yes, I like her." "I really can't believe that your taste is so bad. You actually like her who is not feminine at all?" Wang Yujie screamed strangely. "In my eyes, she is more beautiful than anyone else." "Heh, is beauty in the eye of the beholder?" Wang Yujie sneered, but refused to admit defeat. "Do you also think she is more beautiful than me?" "In my mind, no one can compare to her." He said firmly from the bottom of his heart. "If you really like that kind of rough woman, sooner or later, you will regret it!" Wang Yujie angrily carried her Chanel purse. "You will regret it even more if you didn't marry me!" She took her purse and left angrily. Suo Jiaqi is in the mood to eat now, he picked up the knife and fork, and muttered to himself: "I'm sorry, I know I won't regret it." This meal, he ate quite happily alone. "What? You want to come to Taipei? Really? Those papayas can be harvested at the end of the month?" Shi Zhi held the microphone between his shoulders, and while talking with his apprentice Wang Chen, he cut his toenails. "Then why don't you come back at the end of the month! What? You can't wait? Why are you in such a rush! She's a college student, so it's no wonder she would talk to you! Okay, okay, come if you want, and you're only allowed to wait." One day...two days? Well, whatever you want, I'm so annoying!" Shi Zhi put down the phone receiver, and the bell rang again immediately. "Hey, I haven't finished talking, you... Hey, why is there no sound?" "It's the doorbell. I'll open the door." Meng Xianglian came out of the kitchen and heard the doorbell. "Oh, go and drive." The door was just opened, and Wangchen's voice was scary at high decibels. "Master, I'm here." "Wangchen, you scared Xianglian!" Jia Xun, who came with Wangchen, patted Wangchen from behind. "Uh, it's not my master... This is the classmate Meng Xianglian you mentioned?" Wang Chen smiled awkwardly. "It didn't scare you, did it?" Xianglian smiled and shook her head. "Xianglian, he is the Wangchen I told you about." "Jia Xun, have you mentioned me to others?" Wang Chen grinned happily. "My master also said that you don't pay attention to me as a college student... Since you mentioned me to others, it means that I have weight in your heart." Jia Xun wrinkled her nose at him with a smile, but said nothing. "Where is my master..." Wang Chen didn't stop talking when a slipper was patted off his head. "You, the weight is really enough! You are kidding me. You just talked on the phone one minute, and the next minute someone is here. How dare you come by jet? Everyone has already arrived, so you come to me Report." While talking, Shi Zhi took the slippers and patted Wang Chen's head. "Master, stop beating, if you keep beating me, I will become stupid. I still have to go to college!" Wangchen begged for mercy. "Heh, you want to be a rogue professor? Going to university? The power of love is so great!" Shi Zhi glanced at Jia Xun intentionally or unintentionally, causing Jia Xun to blush. "Master, don't talk about this, it's nice for you to live here, it's so big." "Let me declare first that there is no extra room for you to live in here, so you can sleep in the living room at night." "No problem." Wang Chen turned around and sat down on the sofa chair, feeling quite comfortable! "Master, you receive a salary of tens of thousands of yuan a month, don't you invite your apprentice to have a meal?" "Don't even think about it! There are instant noodles in the corner, go make some by yourself when you're hungry." Shi Zhi won't spend money carelessly now. Suo Jiaqi paid her a month's salary first, and she had already saved it in the bank. "By the way, you said that papayas can be harvested at the end of the month, are you lying to me?" "Master, I didn't lie to you about this matter. That foreman Yang said that he can sell it if it goes wrong." "So the land can be sold at the end of the month?" Jia Xun asked. "Well... After the harvest, of course the land can be sold." Shi Zhi lazily replied. What she loves now is no longer those papaya trees that she doesn't know how to plant... but the papaya harvest, which means that she no longer needs to be the bodyguard of the lock family... She doesn't feel sorry for the 60,000 yuan salary, although the 60,000 yuan salary Ten thousand is really a lot. Oh, anyway, if she really wanted to leave Suo Jiaqi's side, she would feel depressed. "Master, why are you in a daze? Did you hear that?" "What did you hear?" "Jia Xun, tell my master one more time." "Oh. That's the land. I heard from my dad and my brother that they sold the land during the discussion. If we invest the money, there may be a return of 100 million yuan." "One hundred million!" Shi Zhi's eyes widened. "Master, did you hear that, 100 million!" "One... one hundred million?" Shi Zhi was quite shocked. "Do you know why my brother promised you not to sell that piece of land for the time being?" Jia Xun said with a smile. "Why?" The master and apprentice asked in unison. "Because, my brother likes your master!" Jia Xun said to Wang Chen. "My master?" Wang Chen still looked blank. "Ah, Master, Jia Xun's elder brother likes... likes you!" Surprised by Wangchen, he couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling.Everyone was worried that his master wouldn't be able to get married, and now someone finally liked her. "What's your expression? Do you find it strange that someone likes me?" Shi Zhi stared at Wang Chen. "And ah..." Jia Xun paused, and said again: "My brother still said in front of my parents that he was going to marry Sister Shi Zhi." "Uh...he...he really said that?" Shi Zhi smirked happily. "This...how is this possible? Heh...this...how is it possible? No...impossible." "Master, you are shy!" "You...you don't want to die, dare...you dare to make fun of me!" Shi Zhi was trembling with joy. When the three of them were laughing together, Meng Xianglian, who had been silent at the side, took a look at Shi Zhi, and walked into the room sadly alone.
