The Heavens: The Beginning Blind Date Zhong Xiaoai

Chapter 84 Goodbye Xia Jingru

Borderless Investment Bank
While Li Wei was offline, Guan Peng welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Director Xia, you are a rare visitor. If Xiaoai hadn't notified me in advance, I would never have thought that you would come to see me."

As soon as Xia Jingru entered the office, Guan Peng greeted her warmly.

After a while, secretary Qin Bing also knocked on the door and came in, with a basket of washed cherries and a plate of sliced ​​black-skinned watermelons; she still remembered that the female prosecutor who came back to find the boss finally became the boss's wife.

Guan Peng didn't know Qin Bing's mental journey, but the picture in front of him did have a sense of familiarity.

"Xia Ju, you eat fruit."

"Guan Zong, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. I'm looking for you this time, and I really want to ask you for help."

Xia Jingru didn't eat the fruit, so she got straight to the point.

"What do you say, please, it is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the government departments; if you have something to do, just ask Xia Bureau, I will do my best."

If it was really business, he wouldn't have greeted Zhong Xiaoai, Guan Peng deliberately blocked her with words.

"Guan Zong, you have misunderstood. I am looking for you this time for a personal matter."

Sure enough, upon hearing what Guan Peng said, Xia Jingru immediately opened her mouth to explain.

"Private matter? What private matters can Xia Ju come to me for?"

Don't say anything dead, Guan Peng actually doesn't want to meddle in Xia Jingru's personal affairs, but Zhong Xiaoai has already spoken, and it is definitely inappropriate to directly refuse.

"It's about Jin Lei."

"Jin Lei? Your younger brother, Xia Ju, you may have misunderstood. I haven't seen Jin Lei since the last time you asked Xiaoai to bring me a message. We are not in the same circle at all."

Guan Peng began to play dumb again. Last week, Jin Mingshan's ultimate jump became a joke, which was reported in the newspaper.

"Guan Zong, let me admit my mistake to you first. For some reason, I have always been prejudiced against you, which is why I asked Xiaoai to bring you a message last time."

Knowing that being polite to others, one must ask for something; but Xia Jingru stood up and bowed again, which changed Guan Peng's view of her a lot.

"Ju Xia is serious. There is nothing wrong with what you did. I, Guan Peng, am not a gentleman. Although there are no major problems, there are a lot of minor problems. Those good kids who are new to society really shouldn't have anything to do with me."

Guan Peng revealed that his shortcoming was not to flatter Xia Jingru, but mainly because of the phrase "good boy, is Jin Lei a good boy?"
Xia Jingru is just principled and not stupid, of course she understands what Guan Peng means, and also realizes that the man in front of her is not so easy to talk to.

"General Guan"

Jingle Bell

Xia Jingru was about to continue explaining when the phone on Guan Peng's desk rang.

"Excuse me, I'll take a call."

Without giving Xia Jingru a chance to speak, Guan Peng walked directly to the desk.

"Hey, oh, sorry, I just have something to do here, please wait for me for another 10 minutes."

Guan Peng was talking to himself, and the person on the other end of the phone was a little confused; Mr. Guan, didn't you inform me in advance to call you now?

"Sorry, there are a lot of things, Xia Ju, what did you just say?"

"I"

Jingle bell...jingle bell
Before Xia Jingru could speak, the phone rang again.

"Didn't I ask you to wait for me for 10 minutes? Secretary Zhang, I'm sorry, I made a mistake; what, I'm going to inspect the High-tech Industrial Park in the afternoon, okay, then I know, let someone arrange a reception immediately."

After Guan Peng hung up the phone, he contacted the person in charge of the industrial park and made calls one after another, which lasted for almost an hour.

"Oh, sorry, neglected."

Guan Peng apologized.

"It's okay, I know Guan is always a busy person, so I took a whole day off today just to match your time."

"It's really well prepared"

Guan Peng sighed inwardly.

咚咚
"Guan Zong, should I ask them to deliver the lunch, or you should go out to eat by yourself."

Before the conversation between the two started, Qin Bing knocked on the door and came in.

"Oh, it's almost twelve o'clock, I'm really dizzy from work, Xia Bureau, let's go out to eat and talk while eating."

Guan Peng looked at his watch and suggested.

"Okay, the guest is up to the owner, and today I will listen to Mr. Guan's arrangement."

Upon hearing this, Guan Peng could tell that Xia Jingru was relying on him.

.........

The Story of the West Chamber - a Sichuan restaurant on the first floor of the investment bank
Guan Peng liked their sour soup fish and secret barbecue very much, so he asked the original owner to buy this restaurant.

"Mr. Guan is good"

"Mr. Guan is good"

From regular customer to owner, everyone in this store knows Guan Peng.

"I'm fine with the fourth one. Let's take a look, Xia Ju. What do you want to eat?"

Walking into his exclusive private room very accustomed to it, Guan Peng greeted the waiter and handed the menu to Xia Jingru.

"Old four? What did you order?"

"Mr. Guan ordered the secret grilled meat, fish in sour soup, ribs with glutinous rice, and cabbage in a dry pot."

Guan Peng didn't say anything, and the waiter explained from the side.

"There are already four dishes, so I won't order."

Xia Jingru handed the menu to the waiter.

"President Guan, what do you want to drink?"

Knowing who is the real master, the waiter continued to ask.

"For me, open a plate of the wine I saved last time, Xia Ju, do you drink red wine?"

"I also can."

So easy to talk; Guan Peng couldn't grasp Xia Jingru's attitude a little bit, why did he want my help.

In my own restaurant, I am entertaining my own boss. The food is served very quickly, and the food is ready in less than 5 minutes.

"This is the wine made by my own winery. I don't know if it suits Xia Ju's appetite."

"Mr. Guan's product must be a high-quality product; Xiao Ai didn't share the things you bought her before; but time flies so fast, and she has become a child's mother in a blink of an eye."

Even after going to Yanzhou, Xia Jingru's contact with Zhong Xiaoai has not been broken, and she has often heard her complain about Guan Peng's flamboyance; with today's posture, she doesn't want to get old lady's idea.

"Yeah, it's only a blink of an eye; by the way, why are you looking for me today?"

It's purely Xia Jingru's overthinking, Guan Peng can't get used to her unkind way of doing things at most, other things, I really don't have any ideas at the moment.

"You should have heard about my Uncle Jin, right?"

"I heard Xiao Ai mention it, it's a pity."

From the word "Uncle Jin", it can be seen that even now, Jin Mingshan still has a place in Xia Jingru's heart, Guan Peng did not comment too much.

Seeing Xia Jingru's expression, Guan Peng knew that this widow should be her mother.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Xiaoai. If she hadn't kept reminding me to avoid suspicion, I wouldn't know how to face them now."

The Butterfly Effect
Guan Peng influenced Zhong Xiaoai, and Zhong Xiaoai influenced Xia Jingru. This time, at the beginning of the investigation, Xia Jingru chose to avoid suspicion.

Although the result was still that Jin Mingshan was arrested and jumped off the building, there were many changes in the middle, one of which was that Jin Lei escaped.
