Of course, this is more likely because of Su Changqin.

After a brief exchange between Gu Qing and Aunt Su, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Su Changqin took the opportunity to look at the young woman next to Aunt Su and introduced her to Gu Qing:

"This is your aunt's daughter, Su Jinglan. She is one year older than you and Xiyue and is studying at a university in the capital."

The young woman named Su Jinglan looked a little taller than Su Xiyue, and the feminine features on her chest were slightly more obvious, but also very limited.

Compared with Aunt Su's deliberate sense of propriety, Su Jinglan, as a person of the same generation, is obviously a little too enthusiastic.

"Hello Qingqing, I'm Xiyue's cousin, you can just call me sister. I still remember how Xiyue cried and shouted for a brother, and I never thought her dream would come true now!"

As Su Jinglan spoke, he did not forget to glance at Su Xiyue.

Su Xiyue curled her lips in disdain.

Why Qingqing? She obviously never called me that!

What sister? It’s my cousin. She is the real sister!

Su Xiyue thought indignantly.

Gu Qing clearly felt the enthusiasm from Su Jinglan.

Although the other party's gaze towards him was concealed, her gaze went from Gu Qing's face all the way down. She was very bold and did not show any nervousness that some girls had when facing Gu Qing.

Combined with what Su Xiyue had said upstairs before, Gu Qing had a rough idea in his mind.

"Hello cousin, I am Gu Qing, Sister Xiyue's younger brother." Gu Qing said.

He used the term "cousin" instead of the other party's self-proclaimed sister.

At the same time, he deliberately emphasized the four words "Sister Xiyue".

As for the introduction of "I am Gu Qing", Su Changqin had already introduced his name before, so it would seem redundant here.

But Gu Qing deliberately explained it this way, which meant that he didn't want the other party to call him "Qingqing".

If Su Jinglan had the same experience as her mother, she would probably have heard the alienation in Gu Qing's words by now.

And the protection of Su Xiyue.

But she is young and energetic, and having been admitted to a key university, she is in the most ambitious stage of her life.

In Su Jinglan's eyes, Gu Qing was just a beautiful high school boy with a somewhat cold temperament.

Such a little boy has not really seen the vast world, and his cognition is not enough to compare with her.

But that charming face, combined with his cool temperament, made her feel attracted to him as expected.

Su Xiyue, who was beside Gu Qing, felt Gu Qing's little gesture, especially the call of "Sister Xiyue", which instantly turned her originally resentful heart into joy.

"Gu Qing calls me sister!"

"Sister Xiyue, hehehe..."

At this moment, a little drama was going on in the girl's heart, and when it showed on her face, she looked like a silly grin.

After introducing each other, the next main stage was taken by Su Changqin and Aunt Su.

The two sisters chatted about family matters, and from time to time they would bring up Su Xiyue and Su Jinglan.

In order to prevent the Gu family father and son from feeling awkward, the two of them intentionally or unintentionally shared some topics.

The overall atmosphere is not very joyful, but it is also relatively comfortable and natural.

After pouring all the tea on the coffee table, Gu Qing took the initiative to pick up the teapot and went to Su Changqin's study on the first floor. After brewing a pot of new tea, he refilled the pot with seven points for everyone.

"Qingqing, with this posture, did you learn the tea ceremony before?"

Aunt Su asked with a smile as she looked at Gu Qing's elegant movements when pouring tea and the tea being exactly seven points full.

As the saying goes, a full glass of wine is a sign of respect, while a full glass of tea is a sign of deception.

Few young people understand this truth nowadays.

"I haven't studied it specifically, I just like drinking tea." Gu Qing replied.

"It's good to like drinking tea, but you can't hold a drink every day. It's bad for your health."

Aunt Su said this and glanced at Su Jinglan.

The tea time lasted until the evening.

When it was getting dark, Su Changqin looked at the watch on his hand, stood up and said:

"Everyone, go eat. The children are growing up and can't be hungry for too long."

"Especially Xiyue and Jinglan, they are both in the period of growing up."

45. The Su Family’s Resource Exchange

Some people were born in Rome, and some were born as mules.

After the two cars arrived at the hotel entrance one after another, the young boy who greeted them did not look much older than Gu Qing.

The other party looked at Gu Qing, who had just got off the limousine, with envy and gave him a welcoming smile.

Led by the waiter, the group sat down around the round table in the private room.

Su Changqin booked a mid- to high-end summer-style restaurant that mainly serves new fusion and creative dishes.

To put it simply, it is a mix of southern and northern cuisine, which, after some minor improvements, is called fusion creative cuisine.

Su Changqin handed the menu to Aunt Su, but the latter waved her hand.

Afterwards, the menu was passed around among the people.

Through this scene, Gu Qing analyzed that although Su Changqin and Aunt Su are sisters, they do not seem to communicate very frequently since they each started their own families.

There is a hint of polite strangeness in the familiarity.

After the meal started, Gu Qing listened to the two people talking about their work and life.

Gu Qing learned that Aunt Su lived in the provincial capital of Jinling, but had been working in Shanghai for a long time.

Engaged in import and export trade, the main dumped commodities are daily necessities, textiles and some light industrial products.

The export destinations are some small countries in Africa.

"But business has become increasingly difficult in the past two years." Aunt Su raised her wine glass and clinked it with Su Changqin.

Tonight's designated driver will definitely not return empty-handed.

The following time almost became a gathering for Aunt Su to complain.

The turbulent situation in Heizhou and the ever-changing policies meant that even with the support of the Xia Kingdom, it was inevitable that there would be times when they would lose everything.

Moreover, Aunt Su’s business is not large and her ability to resist risks is very limited.

"I think Jinglan is getting older now. If I continue to do this, I don't know when it will end."

Aunt Su sighed and then told the real purpose of this trip.

"I plan to go back to Jinling to do some business in medical equipment. I have found some ways to get started, but I am still a little short of that."

After Aunt Su said this, she stared at Su Changqin.

Su Changqin picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "You are my biological sister, who else can I help if I don't help you?"

"After Xiyue and Qingqing finish their college entrance exams, I will go to Jinling to visit my old leader. Let's go together then!"

To some extent, Gu Qing witnessed a resource exchange.

Or you can change it to another derogatory term.

After the main business was settled, Aunt Su's smile became even brighter, and she asked everyone to raise their glasses together.

The cups of Gu Qing and Su Xiyue naturally contained water, but Su Jinglan was drinking wine.

By the way, after Gu Qing was reborn into this world, he has never touched alcohol.

In his previous life, his drinking capacity had been honed and he had some basic skills, but in this life, it was still unknown.

However, Su Jinglan, who was sitting opposite Gu Qing, obviously had no experience in drinking. After a few sips, he became a little drunk.

Alcohol, once intoxicated, makes people bold.

Su Jinglan first clinked glasses with Su Changqin and Gu Yuan, and then set his sights on Gu Qing.

"Brother Qingqing, the college entrance examination is coming up in a few days. As someone who has experienced it, I want to tell you that you don't need to be so nervous."

"Just treat it as an ordinary exam. Eat and play as you should. The most important thing is your attitude!"

After Su Jinglan finished speaking, he took another sip of the wine in the glass.

The wine on the table is a strong-flavor liquor. Judging from the packaging, it seems to be 45% alcohol, which is not too high.

"Thank you for the reminder, cousin."

Gu Qing picked up the water in his hand and raised it from a distance to show his gratitude.

Su Xiyue beside him sneered secretly.

If we were to say who is the least nervous person in No. 2 Middle School when facing the college entrance examination, that person would definitely be Gu Qing.

Su Xiyue had observed that Gu Qing never studied at home, and most of the time he was reading some strange books.

Seeing Gu Qing's indifferent reaction, Su Jinglan felt a little disappointed.

Due to the relationship between Gu Qing and Su Changqin, she could not express herself too directly, and she also suppressed the unreliable greed in her heart.

As for Gu Qing, she was more attracted by his beauty and hoped to gain his admiration or love as she did with other little boys.

She wanted to show herself off and gain favor from the opposite sex, it was that simple.

After failing to find a breakthrough from the front, Su Jinglan changed his strategy and started a conversation with Su Changqin using some knowledge and vocabulary he had heard from college.

It’s more like Su Changqin being backward compatible than chatting.

Su Jinglan has a common problem among many college students - high expectations but low skills.

"I think Los Angeles needs to build at least one subway line, which will be more conducive to the development of people's livelihood!"

Su Jinglan spoke a lot, trying to attract the attention of everyone present, especially Gu Qing, with his high-sounding talk.

But unfortunately, after hearing this, Gu Qing's reaction was the same as Su Changqin's, both of them frowned.

As one of the top leaders of this small town, Su Changqin instinctively dislikes people who know nothing about getting involved and making decisions.

I am even more disgusted by those who say things like "for the people's livelihood" without any basis.

"Jinglan's idea is quite good. After all, she went to college in the capital, so she has broad horizons and a promising future." Su Changqin said.

Naturally, she had no business refuting a junior's fantastic theory.

However, if my sister's daughter is allowed to remain so naive, it would go against the principles of the elders.

After a pause, Su Changqin suddenly turned around, looked at Gu Qing and Su Xiyue with a smile, and said:

"Xiyue, Qingqing, what do you think of Jinglan's idea?"

What do you think?

Su Xiyue was slightly stunned when she didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself, but she quickly reacted.

She was not very stage-frightened, and compared to Su Jinglan, she had a huge advantage.

That is, she knew the attitudes of her mother and Gu Qing beside her, and they obviously did not agree with this suggestion.

In this case, all we have to do is find reasonable reasons to oppose this view.

After thinking for a while, Su Xiyue tried to organize her words:

"The journey from south to north and east to west in Luocheng is only an hour. Isn't it a bit of a waste to build a subway?"
