97. Chapter 97(1/2)
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Ke was stunned for a long time. It was not until Jiang Yuduo put a cup of iced milk tea on his face that he came to his senses.
"On your store?" He took the milk tea and took a look.
"What do you think," said Jiang Yuduo, "there are only cement and tiles in my store now."
"Did you buy it next door?" Cheng Ke smiled.
"Delivered next door," Jiang Yuduo lowered his voice. The store opened by an older sister, "Chen Qing is already familiar with him."
"Chen Qing can," Cheng Ke looked at the shop next to him. Chen Qing was sitting in front of someone else's bar and chatting with an older sister. "I haven't found him so friendly before."
"Be kind, my elder sister's daughter is in her freshman year this year and is back from holiday now. Sometimes she comes to help," said Jiang Yuduo, "If it's not for this, can he say something more to her elder sister."
"Then are there any shops, little girl, don't they look good?" Cheng Ke asked.
"It's pretty good..." Jiang Yuduo stopped halfway through his speech, "Young Master, are you talking to me?"
"Am I such a stingy person?" Cheng Ke said.
"How could I know? This is the first time I have the chance to stay with the little girl after I'm with you," said Jiang Yuduo, "I don't know if you are big or small in this kind of thing."
"It's quite big," said Cheng Ke, "After all, I'm a person who is almost forty years old."
"The little girl is pretty," said Jiang Yuduo.
"Oh," Cheng Ke nodded and took a sip of milk tea. "Then why didn't Chen Qing go to the little girl in his shop? I saw each other every day, the right time, place and people."
"I don't know." Jiang Yuduo looked at him.
"I tell you, I know." Cheng Ke said with a smile.
"I don't want to hear it." Jiang Yuduo narrowed his eyes, "I know what the hell do you want to hold back."
Cheng Ke smiled so hard that he pointed at him: "Be more civilized, Boss Jiang."
"If you dare to say it, I will beat you up, and you will never report it to you." Jiang Yuduo said.
Cheng Ke smiled and sat down under the parasol, slowly drank milk tea, and looked at the ingredients in the store.
"Who called you just now?" Jiang Yu snatched over and sat down next to him, "I've been stunned for a long time, you didn't even hear me calling you."
"Huihui called me," Cheng Ke frowned, "It seems that Xu Ding took...my dad to the restaurant."
"Your dad?" Jiang Yuduo was stunned, "Does Xu Ding know your dad very well?"
"I was not familiar with each other before," said Cheng Ke, "but I don't know if I am familiar with each other later."
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Yuduo asked, "Have Xu Ding rebelled?"
"Impossible, Xu Ding is not that kind of person," Cheng Ke lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. "Didn't it say that a financial owner sent some high-end green plants to the restaurant? Xu Ding didn't tell me who the financial owner was."
"That's your dad's going to betray?" Jiang Yuduo turned his head, "Damn, then if he wants to do this, can Cheng Yi let you go! It's finally calm."
"I don't know how my dad dealt with the relationship later, so I never contacted my family again." Cheng Ke said.
"Did you let him listen to the recording?" Jiang Yuduo asked.
"No," said Cheng Ke, "in fact, he is not unaware. He can guess Cheng Yi's thoughts whether he listens or not. He just... probably wants this effect, competition."
"You ask Xu Ding," Jiang Yuduo sighed, "What exactly does your father want to do? To be honest, Cheng Yi wants to cause trouble for you again, and I will really beat him up."
"So arrogant, third brother." Cheng Ke smiled.
"Come on, I can almost be evaluated as an outstanding residents of our community after I meet you," Jiang Yuduo frowned, lowered his head and sucked the milk tea in big mouthfuls, "Don't let me find an opportunity."
Cheng Ke smiled and rubbed his hair.
Xu Ding never mentioned the financial support to Cheng Ke, and did not ask, and Xu Ding would come to listen to the regular meeting of the theme restaurant on the first day of the month, and he could always see him.
Cheng Ke waited until No. 1. After the meeting was held on the small terrace on the second floor, everyone left. He and Xu Ding sat together without moving.
"So calm." Xu Ding took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"I was wondering what happened to my dad," said Cheng Ke.
"Before he looked for me," Xu Ding whispered, "I have been here a few times, but you haven't noticed it."
"...When did he come?" Cheng Ke was stunned. He would come to the store almost every day, but he never noticed that his father had come.
"I didn't know before. The last time was last month. Wasn't the business very popular at that time?" Xu Ding said, "He just looked for me again."
"Have you taken the money?" Cheng Ke asked.
"Finance fanatic," Xu Ding laughed, "He asked me what style this store is. I said Xiao Ke meant that it was not good, but also down-to-earth."
"Well," Cheng Ke nodded, "That's what it means, you're too arrogant. If you really understand, you don't look down on it. If you pretend to understand, you don't dare to enter."
"Mr. Cheng thinks this idea is correct," said Xu Ding, "I said again that you want to expand recently and find another suitable place to open one, and he will let you go here and take a look."
Xu Ding put a business card in front of him.
Cheng Ke took a look and didn't know his name, but he was very familiar with the address on his business card. This was a commercial square that his father developed last year. To be precise, it was the project where he was kicked out of the house by Cheng Yiguai.
"I can't afford to pay the rent," said Cheng Ke.
Xu Ding smiled and didn't say anything.
"Is he trying to stimulate Cheng Yi or me?" Cheng Ke sighed.
"Not all," said Xu Ding. "This area is the best in the city. I feel like it's a reconciliation. You have been out for so long. I guess it's because you don't plan to bow your head."
"What else can I have to bear?" Cheng Ke looked at Xu Ding, "Have he said anything else to you?"
"What can he say to me, the attitude of a 100% investor," said Xu Ding, "Nothing is too... Oh, too, let me not tell you."
"Then will I continue to pretend to be stupid? I don't know." Cheng Ke said.
"Pretty." Xu Ding nodded.
Cheng Ke picked up the business card and shook it: "I've given it all, can I still pretend?"
Xu Ding stood up with a smile: "You can do it, I will just make more money by asking."
The decoration of the cat was very fast, probably because the area was only a little bit, so it was finished in less than a month. When Cheng Ke passed by the second time, even the lucky cat girl had already been put down, and there was a cat crawler in the corner.
"Is this prepared for Meow?" Cheng Ke asked, "When did I buy it? I don't know."
"This is..." Jiang Yuduo hesitated for a moment, pointed to the little girl holding a parasol with Chen Qing at the door of the store, "Just that, she bought it."
"Yo." Cheng Ke glanced at the little girl.
She looks really fair and delicate, and she looks much more elegant than Chen Qing.
"Is Chen Qing..." Cheng Ke stared at him for a while, feeling that Chen Qing's gaze was like a person's face, and he had been staring at him and never left.
"Did you see?" Jiang Yuduo came over immediately, "He doesn't go to his elder sister's shop to drink milk tea."
Cheng Ke smiled: "Do you think there is a chance?"
"There is no chance." Jiang Yuduo shook his head without thinking.
"I think so," said Cheng Ke, "after all, the girl came for the boss."
Jiang Yu paused his tongue and took a rag to wipe the table.
When the little girl came into the store, she saw Cheng Ke sitting in front of the bar and was stunned: "We haven't opened yet."
"Do you think he is here to drink milk tea?" Jiang Yuduo said.
"Oh." The little girl smiled embarrassedly.
"This is Sun Qinqin," Jiang Yuduo introduced to Cheng Ke, "our store's only technical support."
"No, no." Sun Qinqin waved her hand quickly.
"This is me..." Jiang Yuduo pointed at Cheng Ke.
When Cheng Ke saw his expression, he already felt what he wanted to say.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, when Jiang Yuduo said it, he was still a little dizzy, excited, satisfied, and a little... he couldn't say it... He was surprised to find that he was embarrassed about such things.
"My boyfriend, Cheng Ke." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Oh," Sun Qinqin didn't seem particularly surprised, "Brother Ke, I always hear Chen Qing talk about you."
"Yes." Cheng Ke smiled.
Jiang Yuduo was also a little surprised by Sun Qinqin's calmness and turned his head to look at her.
"I used to work in a fried chicken shop," Sun Qinqin went to the back of the bar to tidy up the cup and said with a smile, "The boss is also a man. He has a boyfriend who has been together for many years. He has quarreled every day and has never broken up."
"Ah." Jiang Yuduo responded.
"This box of cups without a meow mark," said Sun Qinqin. "Make some stickers and stickers, so there is no need to waste it. Anyway, aren't we planning to make stickers too?"
"Okay." Jiang Yuduo nodded.
After saying a few words to Sun Qinqin, Jiang Yuduo and Cheng Ke walked outside the store door. When Chen Qing saw that they had come out, he immediately entered the store.
"There's nothing wrong here in the afternoon," said Jiang Yuduo. "Let's go to the mall for a walk. I want to buy clothes."
"Aren't you buying clothes from the wholesale market?" Cheng Ke said.
"It's not our shopping mall," Jiang Yuduo pointed to the other side, "and kept walking there, there was a clothing wholesale market. Chen Qing discovered it and said that the things were cheaper as if they were given for free."
