Chapter 144 I’m waiting for you here
Xiang Wan found an empty room nearby, then walked in, opened the drawer and took out tea leaves, poured three cups of hot tea and put them on the table.
"Come here often?"
Xiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "That's right. Brother Peng often brings me here to eat. His food is very good and the dishes are rich."
Qi Jin nodded, keeping his eyes on Xiang Wan without leaving, and said after a while: "You have a good relationship with Boss Peng."
"It's very good. He has always taken care of me like a brother in the past few years," Xiang Wan said, looking directly at Qi Jin: "Speaking of it, the fate between people is really wonderful."
With the sudden emotion, Qi Jin only moved his eyes slightly and nodded in agreement: "It's indeed amazing!"
No one thought much about the subtext.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly fell silent, and the two people's eyes met in the air.
"I'm on a trip today. The boss got a lot of fish. Xiao Wan, you all love them the most." Peng Qingliang pushed the door open and walked in. He didn't notice the difference in the atmosphere in the private room at all. He walked straight to the two of them and sat down next to Wan, and then continued.
: "I asked the boss to braise one for you. You'll need to eat more later, lest your dad come back and say you've lost weight again."
The quiet atmosphere suddenly stopped, Xiang Wan smiled lightly at Peng Qingliang: "Then I'm not welcome, have you ordered the braised pork?"
"Don't worry, your braised pork is missing," Peng Qingliang said and looked at Qi Jin: "Young Master Qi doesn't have any taboos, right?"
"I'm not picky about food."
"That's good, I just ordered a few home-cooked dishes."
Qi Jin smiled at Peng Qingliang: "It's a waste."
"Wherever it goes, it's just a meal. People in Bei City who want to treat Mr. Qi to dinner are queuing up."
Peng Qingliang seemed to have forgotten his previous complaints. He now had a bright smile on his face and found topics to chat with Qi Jin from time to time.
"I heard that Mr. Qi is also doing business?" Peng Qingliang asked casually.
Qi Jin glanced at Xiang Wan, who had been looking down, and smiled gently: "I am doing some small business, which is not as big as Boss Peng's clothing factory. I am acquainted with you, so Boss Peng just calls me by my name."
"Then let me call you by your name, Qi Jin. It's a really nice name. It sounds like it was given by a cultural person. It's not like my name. Director Cheng gave it to me after I met Director Cheng. I'm not afraid of you guys laughing at me if I say it.
, My previous name was Peng Erchen. At that time, in the countryside, people thought it was easy to make a living with a nickname, and my parents were not well-educated."
Xiang Wan lowered his head and smiled sullenly, trying not to let Peng Qingliang notice.
Qi Jin was surprised for a moment, and said warmly: "The name is just a pronoun. It doesn't matter whether it sounds good or not, as long as it can be remembered. My name was given by my grandfather. This is the first time I have heard someone say my name.
Sounds good.”
Peng Qingliang smiled happily: "You are right. When I was young, I always disliked the name as being unpleasant. Now it seems that it is indeed the same as what you said. It is just a title. As long as you are promising, no one will dare to say anything even if you are called Goudan.
"
"You're right," Qi Jin looked directly at Xiang Wan: "I think the name Xiang Wan is very nice."
Xiang Wan looked up blankly, not understanding why he was talking about himself.
Peng Qingliang patted Xiang Wan's shoulder gently and said in a clear tone: "Yes, I also think my sister's name is nice, especially the word 'Wan'."
"I heard from my dad that my mother gave me the name."
Peng Qingliang pursed his lips, knowing that Xiang Wan's mother had passed away a long time ago, and he didn't want to arouse her sadness, so he said instead: "The food here is very good, Qi Jin, you can come and try it more when you have time, I'm still here
There are a few bottles of good wine, and we’ll have a few more glasses later.”
"Okay, but I'm not a good drinker. Boss Peng, please don't make me drink."
When Peng Qingliang heard that Qi Jin had a bad drinking capacity, his eyes immediately lit up and he nodded with a smile: "No, no, don't worry, I'm not the one who persuades people to drink. Let's just have a little drink between friends."
Qi Jin smiled after hearing this.
At this time, the meals were served one by one. Peng Qingliang picked up the serving chopsticks and gave Xiang Wan a large piece of braised fish. His smile widened: "Have a try. Didn't you still want to eat fish a few days ago? Eat more."
Qi Jin's eyes fell on Peng Qingliang's hand, flickering slightly.
Xiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said hurriedly: "That's enough, that's enough, don't give me so much."
Seeing this, Peng Qingliang smiled and nodded, turned around and poured a full glass of white wine for Qi Jin, and then the two of them clinked their glasses back and forth, not forgetting to give Xiang Wan some food while the wine was full.
After finishing their meal, Xiang Wan looked at the two people with red cheeks and helpless faces, and called the boss to send them to the guest room as if they were resigned to their fate.
"Sister, I'm not drunk."
He said this, but with the blurred look in his eyes, Xiang Wan didn't hesitate to expose him. After wiping his face, Xiang Wan didn't even look back.
"Boss, do you have a car at home? I want to go to Center Street."
The boss was tending flowers and plants in the small garden. Hearing this, he shook his head: "My wife and I are the only ones at home, and no one knows how to drive."
Xiang Wan left in disappointment. When he passed Qi Jin's room, the door suddenly opened, which startled Xiang Wan.
After drinking, Qi Jin's cheeks turned red, but his eyes were not blurry. At first glance, he looked much better than Peng Qingliang.
"Are you going to the street?" he said with a firm tone, standing inside the door and looking straight at Xiang Wan.
"Yes, I have something to do, but Brother Peng drank too much."
Qi Jin nodded, said to wait a moment, then went back to the room to pick up his coat, then walked out and closed the door: "I'll take you there."
The tone is unmistakable.
Xiang Wan grabbed Qi Jin's wrist and said with urgency in his voice: "You've been drinking, so stop driving."
I dare not sit down either!
Qi Jin's eyes flashed across his wrist, his brows were smiling and his voice was smooth: "What I mean is, let the driver drive."
"Oh ok, sorry for the trouble."
Qi Jin glanced at Xiang Wan in a funny way and took the lead in walking forward.
This time they both sat in the back row, with half a person's distance between them. After telling the Wandong driver their address, they leaned back on their seats and looked out the window.
"Is Boss Peng okay?"
Just now at the wine table, the two of them were brothers and sisters, but now they have returned to being distant and polite.
Xiang Wan smiled and said, "He's fine. He just drank too much and was sleeping in the guest room. I didn't expect you to have such a good drinking capacity."
"I actually rarely drink, but I've never been drunk."
Xiang Wan was surprised: "You are naturally good at drinking."
Qi Jin smiled: "Maybe. My dad is like me. He doesn't drink often but he doesn't get drunk very much."
"sharp."
The driver parked the car at the location mentioned by Xiang Wan. After getting off the car, Xiang Wan was about to say goodbye to Qi Jin when he heard him speak.
"I'll wait for you here."
Xiang Wan winked and said, "No, if you have something to do, you can go and do some work first. I can just make something and go home. It's not far from home."
"I have nothing to do. You can go ahead and I will take you home on the way."
Having said this, Xiang Wan no longer refused, thanked him with a smile and trotted into the carpentry shop.
The carpentry boss still remembered Xiang Wan. He smiled when he saw her coming and said, "Little girl, what are you going to make this time?"
