After chatting with Yan Zheke, Lou Cheng checked the time and immediately called his mother, Qi Fang.
"Didn't you just call back to Huacheng at noon? What's the matter? "Qi Fang was not at all happy to receive her son's call. Instead, she was full of disdain.
The TV series she was following had its finale today!
Lou Cheng forgot to explain the cause and effect and blurted out, "Mom, can you and dad find time from November 27th to December 7th?"
"Why are you asking this?" Qi Fang asked in surprise. She shifted her gaze from the TV screen to Lou Zhisheng beside her.
"Ke wants to sign you up for a tour in Huacheng. You don't have to buy anything … Haven't I settled down here for a few months? I've been so busy practicing martial arts that I forgot to ask you two to come visit and live here for a while. It was Ke's reminder that reminded me of this. Seriously, haha. "Lou Cheng laughed dryly, trying to belittle himself and elevate his wife.
Qi Fang was stunned for a few seconds as she digested the information. Then she smiled and said, "You are not even as filial as a daughter. Zheke is such a good girl. I always wanted to give birth to a daughter. How sweet. Who knew I would give birth to a debt collector like you? But if it really is a daughter, I wonder how happy your second uncle and the others will be …"
"Mom, tell me if you're free first." Lou Cheng quickly stopped his mother from changing the topic and praised himself. "Without a son like me, would there be such a good daughter-in-law?"
"You're still breathing?" Qi Fang had seen this line several times recently and subconsciously used it. "I'm fine with anything. I can ask for leave at any time. But I have to ask your dad. Hey, Cheng, you don't have to sign up for a tour. Your dad and I will stay here for a few days to see you and just wander around."
She asked Lou Cheng with her eyes as she spoke. Lou Zhisheng was confused and did not understand what was going on. He also did not know how to answer. His face was full of confusion.
"It's okay. Don't I usually train at the club? You'll be bored at home, and the surroundings are relatively quiet. There are no neighbors. Even if there are, you won't be able to understand Guangnan dialect. It's better to drink morning tea with the tour guide, try Guangnan cuisine, eat seafood, and visit interesting places. If you don't understand something, he'll translate and solve it. Everything will be easy and simple. " Lou Cheng didn't choose his words carefully. He just said whatever came to his mind. "You and my dad haven't traveled before except for Gao Fen. Let's give it a try."
"That's to watch your competition … Your father used to run around a lot, but he was just working for others …" Qi Fang pondered for a moment, and her thoughts were stirred. "Lou Yuanwei is doing well with Erzi, isn't he? He's getting married in the Spring Festival, so your second uncle and the others can relax. During the National Day holiday, he went to Caiyun Province for a trip. When he came back, he showed off to the people in the factory for quite a while."
That factory had been closed down for many years, but Qi Fang was still used to calling her former neighbors that way.
"That's right. They're all going on a trip. You can't fall behind." Lou Cheng tried to provoke his mother.
Qi Fang took a deep breath and said, "Alright, it's settled then!"
"You're not going to ask my dad?" Lou Cheng was stunned.
"Him? He has no objections! What's the point of saving up so many years of leave? "Qi Fang answered firmly. Lou Zhisheng, who was beside her, went from confused to dumbfounded.
"That's not what you said just now …" Lou Cheng complained in his mind, but didn't beat around the bush. He said directly, "Alright, I'll get Ke to sign up. Mom, remember to take a picture of you and my dad's ID cards and send it to me on WeChat. I'll help you book all kinds of tickets."
"Okay, okay. Hey, Cheng, go ahead and sign up. Don't let Ke spend money. Her family is well-off, but we're not poor either, right? You're already a Mighty One with physical invulnerability … You're not married yet, so you have to be careful in this aspect," Qi Fang reminded him.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll give her the money." Lou Cheng replied, amused.
Not to mention the close relationship between Ke's Alipay and his own, the most important financial power was in her hands. Her credit cards and online payment accounts were now tied to his own bank card … She was also in charge of family finances … There wasn't much discussion. After they got married, she took the initiative to do it herself …
Qi Fang was relieved. Then, she said anxiously,
"Your dad and I have never been on a plane before, so we don't understand. What should we do when the time comes?"
"It's very simple. I'll teach you when you get to the airport. You have to trust my dad's IQ." Hearing Qi Fang's question, Lou Cheng suddenly sighed.
Dad and Mom had been busy all their lives worrying about their family. They hadn't really enjoyed themselves, and this was even their first time on a plane … If it really didn't work out, he could ask Auman to accompany them throughout the journey …
After hanging up the phone, Lou Cheng reported the situation to Yan Zheke. She immediately chose the most expensive and best tour. She even chatted with the customer service and made many requests, not minding adding money.
Inviting her parents-in-law to Huacheng was a good thing. However, if she was fussy about things like cost-performance ratio and made the trip unhappy, it would be a bad thing to do with good intentions. It was better not to do it.
Since she was going to do it, she had to do it perfectly!
…
While Lou Cheng was thinking of adding a burden for Auman, the assistant was standing at the entrance of Tiandu Garden, waiting for the arrival of her best friend.
Her best friend was called Wang Zi. After graduation, she returned to her hometown to work in the provincial capital. Today, she was on a business trip to Huacheng and wanted to stay for three nights. This way, she could chat with her best friend under candlelight and chat about girls' topics. At the same time, she could save on the travel expenses of staying in a hotel. When the time came, she could get an invoice and turn it into income.
Ten minutes later, a taxi stopped. Wang Zi, with her curly hair, pushed open the door and got out. Auman hurried over and helped her take out the luggage from the trunk.
Wang Zi, with her thick eyebrows and bright eyes, sized up her best friend a few times and said in surprise,
"Manman, you've become prettier! Your skin is fairer too! "
Auman had always been pretty. However, she didn't know how to take care of her skin when she was in university. She often participated in outdoor activities, so her skin had become a healthy wheat color.
"I've been more diligent in taking care of myself recently." Auman brushed her hair and smiled humbly.
Girls are more attentive to other girls and pay more attention to details!
"What brand are you using? The whitening effect is so good? "Wang Zi asked with great interest.
Auman dragged the luggage and spoke as she walked. She didn't hide anything.
"Wow, this is so expensive!" Wang Zi couldn't help but look sideways at her best friend. She teased her with her unique frankness, "You really got a promotion and a raise!"
As they spoke, they entered the elevator and arrived at Auman's residence.
"Two floors, two apartments. This neighborhood is pretty high-end," Wang Zi said casually.
Auman smiled and said, "The buildings over there are even more high-end. One floor for one apartment. Uh, actually, it's two floors for one apartment."
As she spoke, she opened the door and invited Wang Zi in.
The decorations are pretty luxurious … Wang Zi looked around and didn't say anything. She changed the topic and asked,
"Manman, which room are you staying in? Your roommate won't mind if you take me in, right? "
She was originally carefree and didn't care much about this, but now she was suddenly a little cautious.
"No, I live alone," Auman answered concisely.
Wang Zi was stunned for a few seconds and blurted out, "How much is that? This is Huacheng. "
The rent is very expensive, and this is a high-end neighborhood!
Auman was stumped by the question. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "I don't know. The club assigned me a room after I got promoted. I don't have to pay."
Wang Zi's mouth was half open. She looked around and pretended to ask exaggeratedly,
"Manman, is your club still recruiting?"
Isn't this treatment a little too good?
After joking around for a while, Auman helped Wang Zi pack her luggage.
"I have to hug you to sleep tonight!" Wang Zi sat cross-legged on her best friend's bed. She said half curiously and half instigated, "Isn't being an assistant in Longhu Club very popular? Those Inhuman Mighty Ones all have a high status as long as they change careers. The deputy chief of our province's police department is also an Inhuman. If you have a good relationship with them, you might be able to live a good life in the future! "
"It's useless. The members of the assistant team take turns to serve. Unless you purposely try to curry favor with them and spend a lot of effort to curry favor with them. Also, who knows how many years it will take for them to come in handy," Auman explained with a smile.
Wang Zi didn't harp on this matter. After a few words, they talked about their college roommates. For example, a certain someone went back to her hometown for a blind date when she had a boyfriend in Huahai. She even slept with him and got pregnant, so they had to break up in a hurry. For example, a certain someone got married right after graduation and her child could already walk. For example, a certain someone entered a certain company and had already bought a house with a down payment …
Relying on her youthful vigor, Auman stayed up for half the night and went to work as usual the next day. As Lou Cheng had to leave early in the afternoon to try out an old shop, she followed him back home at around 5 pm to catch up on sleep.
Just as she entered the house, she saw the beautifully dressed Wang Zi running around in circles anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Auman asked with concern.
"Boss insisted that I invite a client to Jin Ding Xuan. That's a high-end shop, but the seats were all booked two days ago! He didn't know to say so earlier and just did as he pleases! No, I must change the place! "Wang Zi complained about her stubborn boss.
Jin Ding Xuan? Mr. Lou had been there before and the reviews were pretty good. It was barely considered high-end … Auman thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Gouzi. I'll help you book it."
Wang Zi's nickname came from her surname.
"You're going to book it?" Wang Zi was stunned.
Didn't you say that the seats were all booked?
"I know the manager there." Auman answered with a smile as she took out her phone and searched for a number.
She met this person when she was helping Mr. Lou book a table.
When the call was connected, she politely explained the whole story. The other side immediately said straightforwardly,
"Miss Auman's business is my business! Just tell your friend to come over and tell him your name. "
"Thank you. I'll definitely treat you to a meal later." Auman said gratefully.
The person laughed and said, "You're welcome. I know you're busy and have to follow Mr. Lou around every day."
After hanging up the phone, Auman turned to Wang Zi and said,
"Alright, you just need to report my name."
"Really?" Wang Zi still didn't quite believe it.
Since when could Auman's name be used as a signboard in such a high-end event?
At 7 pm, she changed into a long dress and waited for the customer at the entrance of Jin Ding Xuan. Along the way, she saw a grand sight that made her feel a little ashamed.
Looking at the waiters lined up neatly to welcome her, Wang Zi said nervously, "We have booked a reservation.
"We made a reservation. Auman made the reservation."
"Miss Auman booked it?" A waiter smiled brightly and extended his hand. "This way, please."
He led Wang Zi and her customer up the elevator and into a quiet and elegant private room. Outside, the river was flowing and the lights were reflected. It was dazzling and dreamy.
"Miss Wang, you seem to have a lot of connections in Huacheng." The customer looked around and praised sincerely.
As a local, he knew the importance of this matter.
Wang Zi had been in a daze ever since she got into the elevator. A thought kept echoing in her mind.
"The assistant of Longhu Club is so awesome?"
PS: Mother-in-law is hospitalized for a minor surgery. I have to go and take a look. It's midnight.
