Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

It is not the comparison of goods that is feared, but the comparison of people that is feared. After meeting Guan Peng, Zhong Wei looked down on Hou Liangping even more.

"This kid brought so many things. Hey, this, Lao Zhong, come and take a look..."

After Zhong Wei calmed down, Zhang Yuehua looked through the gifts Guan Peng brought; even though it was from a high-ranking official's family, she was still surprised by one of the gifts, which was a hundred-year-old wild ginseng that had taken human shape.

"No merit, no reward. Let's go back."

"But last time, Doctor Zhang said..."

…………

"Don't think too much. You did the right thing today."

After the Guan family returned home, Guan Zhaoqing spoke first.

"Yes, Xiaopeng, since Zhong Xiaoai doesn't like you, forget it. Auntie will find you a better one in the future."

Liu Yue might not have reacted at first, but she definitely figured it out later.

"Uncle and aunt, I really have a girlfriend."

"You have a girlfriend, right? Then bring her home tomorrow and let me see her."

"what?"

Guan Peng was offended by Liu Yue. He couldn't just take Xia Lin home.

"Well, you've been busy all day, go back and rest early."

Seeing Guan Peng's embarrassment, Guan Zhaoqing helped him smooth things over.

"Okay, I'll go back first. Uncle and aunt, you should also go to bed early."

Forced into a dilemma by Liu Yue, Guan Peng was naturally happy to say goodbye. When he got into the car, he saw that it was nine o'clock and he could still catch the next show.

…………

In a private room at Houhai Bar

Charlene was singing with her roommates to celebrate her birthday; although she had a smile on her face, she was not happy in her heart.

This was the second time, and Guan Peng still didn't show up. She thought it was an issue with the 4S store, so he had been ignored for a week. Now, he even refused to come to her birthday party.

"Are you having a falling out with your boss?"

After the song was over, Ma Xiaotian and Shen Qing took over the microphone, and Ling Jiali whispered in Xia Lin's ear.

"No, he really has something to do today. Let's just have fun and ignore him."

If it were someone else, Xia Lin might have told the truth, but the person in front of her was Ling Jiali, who had said more than once that she wanted to find a boyfriend like Guan Peng.

"Really? I don't believe it. No matter how busy he is, can he be busy for a week straight?"

"You are quite free, and you care so much about me and him..."

Charlene is not a pushover and she retorted immediately.

"I'm just concerned about you. Guan Peng is a high-quality stock. I saw Shen Qing secretly calling him a few days ago."

Knowing that she was getting impatient, Ling Jiali decisively summoned Shen Qing to divert the damage.

"Thank you for your concern"

Xia Lin knew that everyone in her dormitory was eyeing Guan Peng, even Ma Xiaotian, nicknamed the silly and sweet girl.

Buzz

Just then, the cell phone on the sofa vibrated. Charlene quickly picked it up and saw that it was the person she had been thinking about tonight.

"You're here. We're in box 308. We haven't left yet."

If smiles have levels, then in just this one phone call, Charlene's smile went from a negative score of forced smile to a perfect score of overflowing joy.

"Look, he's here when he's done with his work."

Xia Lin put down her phone and protested with a smile, completely ignoring the fact that Ling Jiali's face had turned pale with anger underneath her makeup.

"Sorry, sorry, I've been so busy lately."

At this time, Guan Peng opened the door and came in.

"Brother-in-law, why did you come just now? Aren't you afraid that Sister Xia Lin will punish you by making you kneel on the keyboard?"

The first person to greet him was Ma Xiaotian, who held Guan Peng's hand affectionately without any hesitation.

"Yeah, you haven't come to see Sister Xia Lin for a week. We thought you two had a fight."

Shen Qing naturally took the coat that Guan Peng had changed after entering the room, put it on the sofa, and joked with a smile.

I can't live in this dormitory anymore. I have to move out as soon as possible. This is the only thought in Charlene's mind at the moment.

Chapter 9 Interlude

at night

Gongyuan No. 6

After Guan Peng devoted himself to the cause, his IQ returned to its high level.

"You're so good today, do you have something to ask of me?"

Seeing the crisis, Charlene was unusually well-behaved tonight and even spontaneously unlocked new postures.

"I don't want to live in the dormitory anymore. I want to move out." Knowing that the man in front of her didn't like her to be shy, Charlene said bluntly.

"Okay, then you can live here from now on. You have the key anyway."

Guan Peng didn't care about Xia Lin's mental state and agreed readily.

"It's too far here. I want to live near the school."

The heater was on in the room, so Xia Lin was not afraid of the cold. She put on a bathrobe and stood up to pour Guan Peng a glass of red wine.

"Near the school?"

Guan Peng was a little hesitant, not for any other reason but because he was afraid that his house would be robbed.

"Can't you?"

"Of course, I happen to have two fully furnished commercial apartments near your school. I'll take you there to have a look tomorrow."

Guan Peng had never seen Xia Lin like this before, so he agreed out of impulse.

"It's so kind of you…"

Before Xia Lin could finish her words, Guan Peng hugged her again, and everything that happened next was self-explanatory.

.........

Jade Mansion

It is only a few minutes' walk from the Fashion Institute. After receiving the first investment, Guan Peng bought 10 apartments here. Excluding those allocated to company employees for free residence, there are still two apartments left, and 1306 in front of you is one of them.

"The house is a bit small, but it's okay for one person to live in. If you are not satisfied, I can help you change it."

Guan Peng also owns a lot of properties nearby.

In 05, even the most picky experts and professors still mentioned in lectures many years later that this was the best time to buy a house, especially in Yanjing.

The usable area is 138 square meters, with a kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms and a bedroom, and the rooms are very spacious.

The main color is white, matched with a silver chandelier with a heavy classical flavor, making the living room full of luxury;

The kitchen is open and equipped with all household appliances such as range hood, microwave oven, oven, refrigerator, etc.

The bathroom is spacious, bright and ventilated; there is a large bathtub in the bathroom, which makes Charlene have wild thoughts.

There is a dressing room in the bedroom, with a gold-bronze-rimmed mirror full of British classical style, emphasizing the Grimm's fairy tale style; the entire white space is embellished with red-based pillows, adding warmth to the room.

The balcony of the house is particularly large, with a birdcage-style wooden swing and a coffee table installed. A cozy picture of sitting on the swing, reading a book, sipping tea, and eating pastries on an autumn afternoon emerged in Charlene's mind.

"Very good, here it is"

Charlene is very satisfied with her current residence.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll transfer some money to you later. Think about it and buy anything else you need to make up for yesterday's birthday present.

And don’t move your stuff from your old dormitory. I don’t have time, and it’s not convenient for you to move alone.”

Guan Peng suggested.

"Oh"

Charlene understood that although she was his girlfriend, she was being kept further and further away. She did not dare to resist, nor did she want to resist.

"By the way, this house has a housekeeping team that comes to clean every morning. You don't have to worry about it. Don't be afraid when they come, they are from a legitimate company."

Guan Peng gave instructions before leaving.

"Yes, I see; are you going to be busy for the next few days?"

There is a meaning to what Charlene said. Are you going to stay away from me for a while?

"Okay, I'll come to see you as soon as I'm free. Study hard, and when you graduate, I'll help you open a fashion design company."

Guan Peng made a promise. He wanted the woman in front of him to have something to do when he was not around.

"Okay, I will study hard."

Honestly speaking, in just half a year, it is hard for Guan Peng to see the shadow of the TV series in the current Xia Lin; but it is true that power can change human nature, and so can money.

Boundless Investment Bank

Guan Peng was processing documents when his secretary Qin Bing knocked on the door.

"General Guan, someone from the Procuratorate wants to see you."

"From the Procuratorate? Let him in."

When Guan Peng heard that they were from the Procuratorate, he was a little confused, but he believed that he had not committed any crime and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"How did you come?"

"I can't find you?"

The person who came was Zhong Xiaoai.

"You are a rare guest, please take a seat. What would you like to drink?"

Although he made a joke yesterday, the visitor was a guest and a beautiful lady, so Guan Peng greeted her gracefully.

"Tea bar, it's really hard to get in here. You need to make an appointment. If I don't reveal my identity, your secretary won't let me in."

Zhong Xiaoai was not shy and complained while sitting on the sofa.

"It's mainly because there have been too many people of questionable character coming here recently. I gave them the order."

Guan Peng said after personally helping Zhong Xiaoai get a cup of tea.

"Not really. I heard that the people who came to see you are either rich or noble."

Zhong Xiaoai said half sarcastically.

"You know a lot. Go back and investigate me. Come, have some fruit. It was just delivered by plane this morning. It's quite fresh."

Qin Bing was very observant and knew that the man from the Procuratorate had an unusual relationship with the boss. He brought in a basket of washed cherries and a plate of sliced ​​black-skinned watermelons.

"You are trying to corrupt me, aren't you? Do you still have evil intentions towards me?"

This was in 05. Although the Zhong family was a high-ranking official family, they were not so extravagant as to eat air-shipped fruits.

"It's just a piece of fruit, is it that serious? I was the one who made a scene yesterday, and got scolded by my uncle when I got home."

"Thank you for yesterday..."

Zhong Xiaoai still knows what is good for her.

"It's okay, I'll just tell you the truth. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

Guan Peng is not so narcissistic as to think that Zhong Xiaoai likes him.

"It's you. You brought so many things yesterday. My mom asked me to bring them back to you."

When this was mentioned, Zhong Xiaoai got angry. She even took half a day off just for this trivial matter.
