Chapter 38

Sun Manli sat in the cafe booth, looking uneasy.

Zhao Jiangsheng once asked her for her opinion, and asked if he would mind the two of them sitting together.

Sun Manli said she didn't mind, she felt that it was much better to have someone sitting opposite her than to sit here alone, even if he was a stranger.It seemed that the young man on the opposite side could embolden himself.Really, when did I become so timid and fragile, needing to rely on a stranger to give me courage?I have been fighting ups and downs in the business world for 30 years. I have never seen such a big storm. Is it because this is Xiaobailou?The so-called timid feeling close to home?

What are you afraid of?

Sun Manli involuntarily straightened her waist and sat upright.

The two officially knew each other.

Sun Manli: "Hello, young man, we are also destined to get to know each other. This is my business card."

Zhao Jiangsheng took the business card with Sun Manli, chairman of Shengyu Group, printed on it.

Zhao Jiangsheng is not familiar with these groups in Jiangcheng, nor does he know what Shengyu Group does, and it is not written on the business card.

"Oh! Hello, Ms. Sun! Nice to meet you. My name is Zhao Jiangsheng, and I work in Jiangcheng People's Hospital."

"Oh! It turned out to be Dr. Zhao."

"Just call me Xiao Zhao."

The lobby manager came over and asked them what coffee they had.

Zhao Jiangsheng ordered freshly ground pure coffee,

Sun Manli ordered the same as him.

Zhao Jiangsheng: "Ladies generally like to drink cappuccino, mocha, etc. Pure coffee is very bitter..."

"Bitterness is more flavorful. Besides, I haven't had coffee for a long time, so I made an exception to be bitter today."

"Ms. Sun, have you been here before and know the owner of the house?"

"You?" Sun Manli wanted to say, how do you know?

The young man was looking at her with a smile, and said cheerfully, "I guess. You just asked me when this place was changed to a cafe, and I guessed that you have been here before."

For some reason, she felt that if she didn't answer, the other party would be disappointed.So I couldn't help answering: "When I was young, I went to college here, so I am familiar with this area."

"Oh! So now it's a revisit to the old place."

"That's right!"

"Jiangcheng is a very good place. I have only been here for more than a month and I already like it. It feels like I have lived here for decades, especially when I walked into Ginkgo Road for the first time, there was a feeling of traveling through time and space. ."

"Do you feel that this is a scene seen in a certain movie, as if you have returned to the 30s?"

"Yes, yes, that's how it feels".

"It's the same feeling when I came here for the first time..." Sun Manli fell into memory.

Zhao Jiangsheng stopped talking, silently observing the contemplative lady opposite, not disturbing her.

"Coffee for the two of you, please take your time."

The waiter's voice pulled Sun Manli back to reality.

"Sorry, I lost my mind."

"It's ok."

"You said just now that you have only been in Jiangcheng for half a year, so Dr. Zhao was not from Jiangcheng before?"

"I'm not from Jiangcheng, but I'm from H province. My hometown is in a remote mountainous area. I have been studying abroad for further studies before returning from abroad."

"Oh! Dr. Zhao is so young and promising! You are less than 30 years old, right?" Sun Manli was not flattering, but sincerely praised and appreciated.

She knows that children from rural mountains have to work harder than urban children.There are many such employees in her group.

"Ms. Sun, you have passed the prize. I will be 32 this year."

"32?...how many months?"

"October."

Sun Manli's hand trembled while holding the coffee, and the cup of coffee was all poured on top of her dress.

Two exclamations sounded at the same time, one from Sun Manli himself, and one from Zhao Jiangsheng on the opposite side.

"Ah! Didn't it get hot?"

"Ah! It's alright!" Sun Manli wiped her clothes with a tissue to hide her panic.

"What happened? Need help?"

The lobby manager came over.

Zhao Jiangsheng: "This lady was careless, can you help me deal with it?"

"Yes, ma'am, please come with me."

Zhu Yan, who is sitting here, has been observing the two people.At this time, I watched the lobby manager lead the lady out of the booth and came over, and quickly went up to ask: What happened?Then at a glance I saw the coffee stains on the lady.

"Oh, I see, leave it to me."

"Hello lady, my room is upstairs, do you mind going upstairs with me to deal with it?"

"Thank you!" The lady thought for a while. "Okay!"

Then follow Zhu Yan upstairs.

Zhu Yan took the lady into her room on the third floor, "Tell me the size of your clothes, and I'll ask someone to buy you a set."

"No, I'll call someone to pick me up." The lady picked up the phone and started dialing.

Zhu Yan is not reluctant, after all, some people are used to wearing the styles of the brands they like, and it is definitely not satisfactory to find someone to buy them in a hurry.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

After Sun Manli made the phone call, she looked at the room, "This seems to be a girl's bedroom, will it be too disturbing?"

"It's okay, this is my room, don't mind."

"It's really troublesome for you, I was too careless myself."

"It's ok."

"Can you chat with me? My secretary will be here soon..."

Zhu Yan wanted to be in the middle of his arms, I was afraid that you wouldn't bring it up. Now that I'm better, I don't have to make excuses to strike up a conversation.

"Okay." Zhu Yan turned back with a smile.

"Are you the boss here?"

"Well! That's it!"

"What's your name?"

"Zhu Yan."

"Isn't the surname Guo?" Zhu Yan heard a hint of disappointment in her voice, but she quickly covered it up, "It's the carved railings that should still be there, is it just Zhu Yan's changed Zhu Yan?"

"The two words are correct, but they are not as poetic as you say."

"Have you always lived here? I mean have you always lived here?"

"No."

"Then do you know where the people who used to live here have moved?"

Zhu Yan thought to herself, first she was disappointed that she was not named Guo, and now she asked the people who used to live here, was it not for Guo Qiqi or what?He said in his mouth, "Did the surname of the person who lived here in the past be Guo?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The lady was a little excited.

Is it really the future mother-in-law who came to look after her daughter-in-law?To see Kiki?Do you want to call Kiki over?By the way, it's been a while since this little girl came up, so it's time to dress up?

Just as I was thinking, someone knocked on the door.

Zhu Yan opened the door, and the waiter led a young woman outside the door.

Sun Manli "is my secretary."

"Ah, come in!"

The secretary came in and handed a bag to Sun Manli.

"Chairman, here are your clothes."

"So fast?"

"I happened to be at the hotel when you called, so I came over right away."

"Okay. Then I'll go and change my clothes first."

Sun Manli went into the bathroom.

Zhu Yan asked the secretary, "Hi, which company is your chairman?"

"Does Shengyu Group know?"

"I know, I know, the headquarters is in Province A. It has been very popular in Jiangcheng in recent years. I just got a piece of land and became the landmark king. Is it this Shengyu?" The reason why Zhu Yan is so clear is entirely because Tian Tian is an employee of Shengyu, and the house in the summer resort they bought was also developed by Shengyu Group.

"This is Sheng Yu. This is my business card. If you need anything in the future, you can call me."

The secretary took a business card to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan just took it over before she had time to look, when she heard footsteps, followed by the lobby manager running in, "Sister Zhu Zhu, hurry up, sister Qiqi fainted again..."

Zhu Yan ran downstairs like a gust of wind, ran to the lobby on the first floor in one breath, and saw Guo Qiqi lying on the sofa, surrounded by waiters, a man was giving her first aid, and among those who pinched her, wiped her with a towel. The cheeks where the face is lightly patted with the hand...

Just now Zhao Jiangsheng had just finished a cup of coffee and was considering whether to refill it when he heard the waiter exclaim that someone had fainted.As a doctor, of course he was the first to rush over, and the one who fainted turned out to be the cafe owner.Why is there always a lot of situations today, first the lady Sun poured coffee on her body, and then the boss fainted, the latter seemed very serious.

After a while, Guo Qiqi slowly opened her eyes.Zhu Yan rushed over and called, "Qiqi, Qiqi, how are you?"

Guo Qiqi's face was pale, "Zhu Zhu, am I okay? Maybe I was too excited just now?"

"No, you have to listen to me this time and go to the hospital quickly." He asked the waiter again, "Have you called an ambulance?"

"It's already hit."

"No, I'll be fine after a while."

"How long has it been like this?"

Zhu Yan turned to look at the person who was talking, the one who gave Qiqi first aid just now, that handsome guy.

"I mean the number of times she fainted." The handsome man asked again.

"It started a few days ago, it has never happened before, and today is the second time." Zhu Yan said.

Zhao Jiangsheng turned to Guo Qiqi: "Miss, as a doctor, I suggest you go to the hospital for a detailed examination."

Although I don't know the purpose of his coming here, Zhu Yan still agrees with his suggestion.
