Jiang He really wasn't surprised that Yu Hao made this call.
Ever since he bumped into Lin Xiaoya at the elderly-helping event in Lihuang Community, Jiang He knew that it was only a matter of time.
After all, Xiaoya is not a person who can hide things very well.
On the contrary, it was Director Pan from Lihuang Community who took the initiative to contact her earlier, and that really shocked Jiang He.
Panke said on the phone at that time that Lihuang Community will organize a large-scale voluntary science popularization activity for the elderly next weekend.
"I have reserved a stall for Jieping to help with bathing. Don't worry, it's free. If you are free, one or two people can come over and hand out leaflets, and by the way, they can also tell the elderly about the precautions for daily bathing. During those two days Ah, the street will also send people over. I am applying to add 'home-based bathing assistance' to the community's existing 'microservices' for daily care for the lonely and empty-nest elderly. The only thing missing is the last tremor. You can do it then. Be sure to behave well!”
Jiang He always thought that the cooperation with Lihuang Community was completely dead.
After all, Sun Qian's matter was such a big deal, and Pan Ke followed the principle of doing less than doing more, which was normal. Pan Ke actually still cared about it.
However, what Pan Ke said at that time was a bit too beautiful. It was as if the road had been paved and all that was left was Jiang He to take the stage. Although Jiang He felt that his credibility had to be compromised at least in half, but this opportunity that came to her door, she No matter what, I won't let it go.
It's just that weekends are always the busiest time for home bathing services, so she can only go to the event alone.
In two days, Jiang He distributed thousands of leaflets by himself. He also promoted science to the elderly and guided their family members to follow the account. His mouth was full of smoke and his voice became hoarse.
Fortunately, the work was not in vain.
Early this morning, Pan Ke excitedly sent several voice messages in succession, each of which was 50 seconds long. As soon as Jiang He opened the chat page between the two of them, she could see the white voice strips. Feeling sad.
Every time Luo Linshan got angry before, she was bombarded with voice messages at all times, which made Jiang He a little nervous when he saw more than three voice messages.
The first two words Pan Ke sent were meaningless clichés. They were nothing more than performing well, being satisfied with the leaders and being welcomed by the masses.
"Director Pan, I will be able to mention it either next year or the year after that. This is such a beautiful thing to say."
Jiang Xiaoping listened to it on the roadside and couldn't help but praise it, but Jiang He shook his head in disgust.
She listened patiently all the way down, and when she heard the fourth item, she finally heard something really useful. Pan Ke asked Jiang He to come up with a specific cooperation plan as soon as possible.
"But I have to say something ugly up front. The community's total funds are only so small. Mr. Jiang has to give the price to an acquaintance. Otherwise, we really can't afford to clean up such old people! But don't worry, I'm sure We can’t let you suffer. This door-to-door bathing assistance is integrated into community elderly care. Our Lihuang community is just a pilot project. If it goes well, it will be further promoted in the streets and even the entire district."
"Director Pan, are you going to draw cakes for me now? But I am a person who is born to love cakes. Don't worry, since we are cooperating for a long time, the price is naturally easy to negotiate. And you don't have to worry too much about funds. We Jieping Yuyu will also try her best to help find a solution."
"With your words, I am relieved!"
As soon as Jiang He heard Pan Ke's last voice message, Yu Hao sent his location.
The restaurant he chose is naturally good. It is a private restaurant located on Yanjiang Avenue. It is very famous. It is said that it only deals with regular customers and refuses to accept new customers.
Jiang He replied OK and was about to swipe away the page when he suddenly discovered that the last time she chatted with Yu Hao was half a year ago, on the fourth day after her surgery.
Yu Hao asked if it would be inconvenient for him to visit the hospital. Since then, Yu Hao has never contacted her.
From what he said on the phone just now, it seems that he thought he had blocked him? If it was an excuse, it would be stupid to use such an excuse that would be demolished all at once.
But if you really think so, the majestic prince of Maeglin, who is in his 30s, doesn’t even have the courage to send a message to try?Or do you simply don’t care?
Thinking of this, Jiang He couldn't help but frown. As a friend, Yu Hao was really bad. Jiang He was even a little curious as to why he had the nerve to ask him just now.
Yu Hao set the meeting time at 8 pm. Jiang He was worried about the serious traffic jam on the road, so he set off half an hour early and arrived at the right time. As expected, Yu Hao was waiting in front of the door early.
He was dressed very formally. He wore a black double-breasted suit with wide lapels and a hummingbird brooch. The color of the dark green cufflinks just matched the pattern of the glasses frame.
Jiang He couldn't help but gasp, and looked down at the pajama-style striped shirt and light-colored denim skirt she was wearing. Of course, the most outrageous thing was the pair of white Crocs on her feet.
She hadn't been to a high-end restaurant like this for so long that she completely forgot that such a place might have an extremely strict dress code.
"Do I have to go back and change my clothes?"
"...It's okay." The moment Yu Hao saw Jiang He clearly, he was obviously shocked by her dress, but he quickly recovered as before. The most rare thing is that he did not pretend that everything was normal, and looked at her with interest. After twisting Jiang He's Crocs twice, he asked, "Are they really that easy to wear?"
"It's as comfortable as stepping on clouds."
Jiang He's compliment was absolutely heartfelt. The Crocs are comfortable, non-slip and easy to clean. After wearing them for a long time, even the ugly ones turned into cute ones. Now even Jiang Xiaoping, who once disliked them, fell in love with them. "Mr. Yu, do you want them?" Give it a try?”
"Although I'm very excited, I think I still need some psychological construction."
Yu Huan's position happened to have the best view of the river. He pulled out the chair for Jiang He in a gentlemanly manner, then unbuttoned his suit with one hand and sat across from Jiang He.
"Does it take more psychological building than just making that phone call to me?"
Jiang He didn't want to go through the trouble with Yu Hao, so he simply asked. She came to the appointment not to make each other look bad, but to solve the problem.
"...Haha, you really haven't changed." Yu Hao laughed twice, and there was a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, but Jiang He didn't notice it.
"Of course there is no comparison. I have always wanted to contact you and apologize to you face to face. I even thought about resisting my mother and leaving you in Maeglin. But I just thought about it. I don't have the courage to apologize to you. I don’t have the strength to resist my mother, so I can only follow her wishes and hide in Europe, pretending to know nothing about what happened to you... Until Lin Xiaoya clearly laid everything out in front of me, I was really despicable Right?"
Jiang He was a little surprised and at a loss by Yu Juan's sincerity. She thought she would just pretend to act with Yu Juan today!
"It's all over, otherwise I wouldn't be back today." Jiang He shrugged indifferently.
"Thank you Jiang He, thank you for coming to see me. To be honest, you look...very good." Yu Hao told the truth.
Before he came, he specifically investigated "Jie Ping's Bathing Assistance" and was surprised to find that Jiang He was doing well and that several venture capital companies were even in contact with her.
"...What are you looking at? I've been telling you for a long time, but there's no reaction at all!"
Meiyi Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. is now caught in a double crisis of plagiarism and fraud. One after another, those who have been plagiarized come out to accuse it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "me too" movement in the home furnishing industry. It has no time to take care of itself and naturally has no intention to deal with SUM and Gu Xia. .Li Mingchu was discussing the resumption of the broadcast with Gu Xia. They were having a good conversation, but Gu Xia suddenly became silent and stared directly at him, giving him a hard time.
"Hey, Brother Li, do you think the woman at that table is Jiang He?" The assistant sitting next to Gu Xia suddenly raised his hand and pointed behind Li Mingchu.
"Don't point blindly!" Li Mingchu just pressed down the little assistant's hand, but he didn't expect that he would shout out immediately, "Jiang He, you are here too!"
His voice made everyone in the restaurant look at him, but neither Gu Xia nor Li Mingchu expected it.
Gu Xia quickly covered the assistant's mouth and nodded with an apologetic smile at the other guests who gave them disgusted looks. Li Mingchu wanted to stick his head under the dining table. It took a lot of effort to get a table by the window. Position, if the assistant messes with her like this, she will definitely be on the restaurant's blacklist, and I'm afraid she will never come back again.
Jiang He obviously didn't expect to meet Gu Xia and the others here. Although she was equally embarrassed, she still waved to Gu Xia and the others.
"When did you meet this kid? He's quite energetic." Yu Hao put the cut steak into his mouth and asked with a smile.
Jiang He paused while chewing. She picked up the red wine glass and took a sip, hiding a sneer behind the glass.
In Jiang He's view, Yu Hao's biggest problem is not that he always obeys his mother in everything, but that he looks down on most people from the bottom of his heart.
This contempt and disdain, which seems to be born in his bones, will be firmly covered up by his strict upbringing from an early age most of the time. Only occasionally will it suddenly show a sharp edge, like now.
"A few months ago." Jiang He said vaguely. After all, Yu Hao didn't really want to know the answer to the question. "Being with them, I feel a lot younger."
"What you said makes me feel in danger." Yu Juan replied in a teasing tone, but Jiang He just smiled at her, as if he meant it by default.
Yu Hao was a little surprised when Jiang He encountered a soft spot, but he didn't show it. He just changed the topic lightly and looked up at the three children who didn't even understand basic table manners. He happened to be with one of them. Their eyes met.
Yu Hao has always felt that a man's appearance doesn't matter, but his texture and aura are more important.
But the kid who looked at him easily shook his deep-rooted thoughts.
Mainly because the other party's appearance is really outstanding. Even the extravagant red and green floral shirt and the pearl necklace around his neck are all dressed in a unique style by him. Every look and every movement is consistent with the deliberately dented figure. POSE-like.
However, Yu Hao realized that this overly beautiful child harbored some subtle hostility towards him.
He glanced at Jiang He thoughtfully, and sure enough, the obvious hostility became more intense in an instant.
"Boss, why do I feel that the man opposite Jiang He looks familiar? Have you ever cooperated with us?" The assistant also kept looking at Yu Hao secretly.
"Your memory is the same as Gu Xia's. That's the prince of Maeglin, Yu Wei."
Li Mingchu lowered his head and took a sip of the roasted tomato and seafood soup. He squinted his eyes because it was so beautiful. This was one of his favorite dishes. He had decided to drink at least three bowls today.
"Last year, Maeglin sponsored the C family's fashion charity dinner. He walked the red carpet with the magazine's Asia-Pacific editor-in-chief. At that time, many people thought he was some kind of resource person. After a long discussion on the Internet, it was later revealed that he was Maeglin's prince. It became very popular on the Internet, and with Maeglin's reputation... Tsk, I estimate that [-]% of it was also Jiang He's handiwork. It's really amazing, and it's another great move that makes a huge difference."
"He is Yu Wei!"
Gu Xia gritted her teeth and said, although she had never told the whole story of Jiang He's expulsion from Maeglin, Gu Xia had pieced it all together and now knew almost everything. He felt that Jiang He was the one who should apologize to Jiang He for the whole reason. It’s this Yu Wei! "Brother Li, what is the relationship between Yu Wei and Jiang He? Are they her... boyfriend?"
"Impossible! It's impossible for Jiang He to like this kind of person!" Gu Xia's tone was decisive.
"Probably not." Li Mingchu rarely took Gu Xia's side.
"I guess they are just ordinary friends, at least that's what Jiang He thinks. Otherwise, which girl would dress so plainly on a date with her boyfriend? And she doesn't wear much makeup. But it's not necessarily what the prince thinks. , look at his peacock posture, tsk tsk tsk...don’t you think it’s familiar?”
Li Mingchu glanced at Gu Xia pointedly.
"Boss, I support you! This man is not as handsome as you, and his figure is far worse than yours." The assistant stood firmly on Gu Xia's side, focusing on a "heroic competition" to the end.
"...Really?" Gu Xia said as he lowered his head and glanced at the Cartier on his wrist, and then secretly glanced at the Patek Philippe Nautilus that Yu Huan was wearing. His momentum was much lower.
"Don't worry, Jiang He is definitely not the kind of person who cares about money. But let me tell you something. When you make a boyfriend, you don't have to keep a pretty boy. You can't just look at the face and figure? Jiang He must be a person who pays attention to the connotation and wisdom of his partner. , pay attention to spiritual communication and resonance.”
Li Mingchu deliberately made a statement. As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed at Gu Xia, "Our boss Gu's connotation and wisdom are not optimistic. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so expensive to pursue... Hey, no, you go Where?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xia suddenly stood up and strode towards Jiang He's table.
Li Mingchu reacted a little too slowly and did not hold Gu Xia. He turned around nervously and found that Jiang He's seat was empty.
"What is he going to do? Isn't he planning to do something?" Li Mingchu was going crazy, but the assistant looked excited and almost stood up to cheer for Gu Xia.
"You like Jiang He, right?" Gu Xia sat down on Jiang He's seat and said straight to the point.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Yu Hao, the superior, had a very upright attitude. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, without even bothering to look at Gu Xia.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang He's partner and her suitor. My name is Gu Xia."
Gu Xia stretched out his right hand towards Yu Hao, saying that he should be polite first and then attack.
"That has nothing to do with me."
Yu Hao's eyes finally fell on Gu Xia, and he smiled contemptuously, "Kid, you don't think you will pose any threat to me, do you? You are simply not qualified."
"It's not you who has the final say whether I'm qualified or not, Jiang He has the final say."
Gu Xia's mood was relatively stable with the first sentence, but immediately exploded with the next sentence.
He supported the dining table and leaned forward to glare at Yu Hao. Those dog eyes that were always innocent and innocent in front of Jiang He were now full of sarcasm and provocation.
"Besides, you're a mama's boy, what are you talking about here? How can you be so shameless? Have you ever made a penny on your own?"
