Chapter 355
Guanhe Yayuan Chinese Restaurant.
"Come come come, everyone clink glasses together, wishing Xiaoying and Andrew smooth development in the country!"
"Wish the two children happiness and harmony!"
"Cheers."
Under his girlfriend's explanation, Andrew hurriedly stood up, smiled, and said "thank you" several times.
Amidst the crisp and pleasant sound of glass colliding, Xie Shu Yu drank the remaining red wine in her glass in one gulp.
Then she chatted with Andrew and Xie Chunying about Modou and work, and occasionally explained a few words to other relatives.
The main reason her parents dragged her here today was that among the whole family of relatives, only she could communicate fluently in English.
And she had worked in Modou before.
With her there, it could make the atmosphere more harmonious.
Otherwise, if only Xie Chunying was there to pass the message, it would inevitably be a bit awkward.
Auntie Zeng Yan was full of smiles, adding information she knew on the side.
Top consulting companies, Fortune 500 foreign companies, engaged in customer management work...
After praising her daughter, she started praising her prospective son-in-law Andrew.
Occasionally, she would also throw in a few sentences of Chinese-style English to chat with Andrew, regardless of whether the other party could understand or not.
Her family had poured too much effort into her daughter, especially the years of studying abroad, which were really saved and scraped together.
Now that she had finally made a name for herself and brought back such a good boyfriend, she was exceptionally excited and emotional.
By the end, she had already started planning the issue of which nationality their children would have in the future, and even specifically asked for Xie Shu Yu's opinion.
Seeing that it had dragged into the topic of "marriage" and "childbearing" again, Xie Shu Yu, worried about being involved, responded casually and got up to walk toward the restroom.
Looking at her departing back.
Zeng Yan patted Xie's mother's hand and said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, when you and my brother have time, persuade Xiaoyu, she should find one, it'll be a companion in the future, otherwise how lonely."
Xie's mother glanced at her and shook her head, "Our Xiaoyu has always been a person with a very firm mind since she was a child. If you have the ability, you can go persuade her."
"Sigh—" Zeng Yan smiled awkwardly, "Then forget it."
She just wanted to take advantage of this topic to show off her daughter.
She had only just started the topic and asked if she had any plans to talk to a boyfriend, and she was given a cold face by Xie Shu Yu.
If she really let her talk to Xie Shu Yu face-to-face, she definitely wouldn't dare.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The phone rang, accompanied by a violent vibration.
"It's Xiaoyu's phone."
Xie's mother glanced at her daughter's phone on the seat.
Caller 【@Tang Song】.
She knew her daughter's habit, for people important to her, she would add the @ symbol in front, which was equivalent to pinning them at the top of her contacts.
This habit started in junior high school.
Generally speaking, those who had this treatment were her parents, family, and best friends.
This name looked like a boy's, and she had never heard her daughter mention it, and it even had a symbol in front of it.
This abnormal behavior instantly aroused her curiosity.
However, she would never answer her daughter's phone without permission, after all, this might involve privacy.
She picked up the phone and pressed the volume button.
Soon, the phone went quiet, and the other party hung up.
After a while.
"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone rang again.
Still 【@Tang Song】.
Zeng Yan, who was chatting, said: "Sister-in-law, Xiaoyu's phone is ringing again, you answer it, she's not at the company now, what if it's an emergency."
"That's true." Xie's mother picked up the phone and answered it hesitantly.
Immediately after, a young and magnetic voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Sister Xie Shu Yu, I came to Quancheng for a gathering with friends tonight, I heard from Sister Yourong that you are at Guanhe Yayuan Chinese Restaurant, I am on my way now, I will be there in a few minutes. I want to see you, I have something very important to tell you."
Xie's mother's heart jumped, her daughter has a situation!
She had known Jiang Yourong for a long time, she was a university professor and acted steadily.
She would absolutely not tell others their family banquet address casually.
This boy could get the address from her, and could be pinned at the top by Xiaoyu, so the relationship was absolutely not simple.
Good! Good! It's really an iron tree blooming!
Maybe she could really hold a big grandson (granddaughter) in the future!
Xie's mother said with a beaming smile: "Looking for Xiaoyu, right? She's in the restroom, I'll have her call you back when she comes back!"
Tang Song on the other end of the phone was stunned, "Oh, okay, sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome!"
After hanging up the phone.
Zeng Yan asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, whose phone is that, why do you look so happy."
"A friend of Xiaoyu's, said he's coming over to find her, and will be at Guanhe Yayuan soon."
"Oh?" Zeng Yan raised her slender eyebrows and keenly discovered the point, "A man?"
"Yeah, that's right!"
Hearing this, and looking at Xie's mother's expression, the curiosity of others was also aroused, and they started asking.
"Su'e, Xiaoyu wouldn't be talking to a boyfriend, right?"
"What's the situation? Xiaoyu's boyfriend is coming over to eat together?"
"No way? My sister has a partner?"
Xie's mother hurriedly shook her head, "You guys don't talk nonsense, Xiaoyu will get angry again later."
"Splash splash—" The faucet was turned on.
Xie Shu Yu washed her hands and tidied her clothes and hairstyle in the mirror.
Just as she walked out of the restroom door, she heard the lively discussion in the banquet area behind the screen.
And she was even mentioned.
Frowning, Xie Shu Yu strode toward the inside.
With her appearance, the dining table instantly quieted down.
Xie's mother hurriedly stood up and said: "Xiaoyu, just now a boy named Tang Song called you, saying he's coming to Guanhe Yayuan to find you."
"Uh..." Xie Shu Yu was stunned, her footsteps accelerated a bit, and she reached out to take the phone her mother handed over and glanced at it.
Xie's mother explained: "I didn't answer the first time, later he called again, I was afraid it was an emergency so I answered."
"I know, Mom, I'll go call him back." Xie Shu Yu said and walked out of the banquet area again.
"Beep beep—" The phone was answered after two rings.
"Hello, you're coming to Guanhe Yayuan? When?"
"Soon, I'll be there in about 3 minutes. Are you free now? I want to talk to you about the financing of Weiguang Cafe. If you're busy, let's make an appointment for tomorrow."
Xie Shu Yu was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "I'm free, I'll go downstairs to wait for you, right at the east gate of Guanhe Yayuan."
"Okay, see you later."
"Bye bye."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Shu Yu looked at her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window, her mood suddenly becoming pleasant.
This emotion came fiercely and inexplicably.
She was a confident and unyielding person, and she believed she could overcome challenges one by one.
And the predicament of Weiguang Cafe, as well as the failure of financing, had dealt her quite a blow, and it was inevitable that she would feel lost and frustrated in her heart.
This time returning to her hometown in Quancheng from Yancheng, whether it was off-road travel or chatting with parents and friends, was all self-healing.
Hearing that Tang Song came to see her specially at this time, her whole person became vivid.
Back to the banquet area.
Looking at the gazes cast by the relatives, the slightly raised corners of Xie Shu Yu's mouth fell.
Picking up her bag from the seat, she said softly: "A friend is coming, I'll go out first."
"Or..." Xie's mother said in a low voice: "Or let your friend come up and sit here? Chat?"
Zeng Yan followed: "That's right Xiaoyu, since it's your friend, you can let him come up directly, we'll add a few more dishes."
"No need." Xie Shu Yu shook her head calmly and carried her bag on her shoulder.
A bunch of relatives here, what does it mean to let Tang Song come over?
Not appropriate.
Xie's mother hurriedly grabbed her and asked: "Then will you come back later?"
"The meal is almost over, I won't come back. Mom, you haven't drunk, right? You drive Dad home later." Xie Shu Yu handed the BMW car key in her hand over, "I'm leaving, my friend will be downstairs soon, bye-bye."
Originally there was nothing left, and if she stayed any longer, she would have to listen to Auntie talk about having children and household registration, so she just happened to find an excuse to slip away.
Xie Chunying stood up and said: "By the way, sister, or I'll go down with you? I haven't given you the gift I brought from abroad."
"It's okay, just give it to Mom later."
"Alright..." Xie Chunying was a bit disappointed, she had especially admired this cousin of hers since she was a child.
Hearing that it might be a boyfriend, she really wanted to see it with her own eyes.
Watching Xie Shu Yu walk out of the booth with her long legs.
Everyone looked at each other and started discussing again.
Xie Chunying walked quickly to the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze staring intently downstairs.
After a while, she shouted pleasantly: "My sister is out, waiting outside the door, that boy should be here soon!"
Hearing this, Xie's mother couldn't sit still, "I'll take a look at what he looks like, anyway, his voice sounds especially young."
After all, it was her own daughter, how could she not care.
However, she knew her daughter's temper and personality, so she would never interfere too much.
Then, several other relatives got up from their seats and came to the window.
"I'll take a look too, Sister Xie Shu Yu is so excellent, the partner she finds definitely won't be bad!"
"Maybe he's also a big billionaire."
"Whether he has money or not doesn't matter, as long as he's a decent person."
The gloomy sky seemed to be lightly covered by a layer of thick gray gauze.
The black Rolls-Royce drove along the winding road, quietly shuttling through the night.
Soon, the murmuring river entered his sight.
Guanhe Yayuan is close to a clear river and not far from the Garden Expo Park.
Surrounded by trees, the road is wide and smooth, and the environment is excellent.
Tang Song looked at the map APP, it was only a few hundred meters away from the destination.
His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, expectation and excitement jumping in his gaze.
This time, he would completely refresh Xie Shu Yu's impression of him.
Participating in her and Weiguang Cafe's future as an investor.
Their relationship would also undergo a fundamental change.
The car turned smoothly and drove slowly into Binhe Road.
Tang Song's gaze passed through the front window and saw Xie Shu Yu standing on the sidewalk by the road.
The dim streetlights cast soft light, making her figure appear even taller.
Her thick, pitch-black hair was slightly curled, hanging softly on both sides of her shoulders.
She lowered her head slightly, her left hand resting on her right arm, with the familiar LV gilded Sahara bag slung over her shoulder.
The hem of her skirt swayed lightly with the breeze, adding a bit of cold temperament to her.
Under the A-line skirt, her long, fair legs were tightly pressed together, elegant and sexy.
Looking at that incomparably familiar figure, recalling one scene after another, Tang Song's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
Xie Shu Yu, Xie Shu Yu.
The bright lights swept across the curb and hit her, stretching her shadow long.
Xie Shu Yu narrowed her eyes and moved her position.
Looking up, she saw the Rolls-Royce slowly approaching.
The wheels slowly crushed the ground, making a slight sound.
The Spirit of Ecstasy at the front of the car shone with charming luster under the streetlights, as if it had been plated with a thin layer of golden brilliance.
The atmospheric and majestic car body and exquisite chrome decoration outlined a luxurious silhouette.
Xie Shu Yu was no stranger to the Phantom.
Looking at the "Yan A" license plate, Xie Shu Yu's heart moved slightly.
She had come into contact with quite a few rich and powerful people, among whom were those who drove Phantoms.
But such people generally had assets in the hundreds of millions.
Or they controlled large groups themselves and bought them in the name of the company to offset taxes.
Just as she was thinking secretly.
The sound of almost imperceptible braking rang out, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped steadily beside her.
Xie Shu Yu took half a step back, her gaze looking toward the back row of the car.
Due to the privacy glass, nothing could be seen.
"Click—" The driver's door was opened, and a vigorous and tall figure walked out.
Her footsteps were light and steady, she walked around to the side of the back door, gently gripped the door handle, and slowly opened the door.
The whole process didn't have the slightest dragging, and the movements were as natural as flowing water.
Paired with her calm and solemn face, it was full of unique beauty in the night.
As the reverse door opened, the exquisite and luxurious interior of the car gradually unfolded, and the figure sitting on the seat gradually appeared in Xie Shu Yu's sight.
Black silk shirt, paired with straight black trousers, outlined a straight and strong figure.
Under the pitch-black broken hair, a handsome and three-dimensional face appeared and disappeared under the light.
Hard-soled leather shoes stepped on the cement concrete ground, making a crisp "tap tap" sound.
He stood up elegantly, appearing abruptly in the night, looking at her with a smile.
Xie Shu Yu's gaze was stunned, her mouth slightly open.
Tang Song, Tang Song?
"Pitter-patter—" The sound of heartbeat lingered in her ears.
Tang Song looked at the beautiful female CEO's shocked and inexplicable expression, and couldn't help but raise his mouth.
At this moment, this scene, it really looked like himself back then.
It's just that the relationship between the characters had reversed.
Himself back then was sitting by the window in the cafe.
Watching a BMW 7 Series stop outside the window.
Watching Xie Shu Yu walk down from it calmly.
Watching her elegant and dignified demeanor.
Watching her exuding confidence and beauty all over.
Watching her stand in front of him.
Himself back then had a similar expression.
For him, perhaps making up for regrets and unwillingness was the true meaning of success.
It was like this for game characters, like this for parents and family, and like this for women.
"Boom!" The back door was closed, Liu Jiayi stepped to the side of the car, her gaze scanning the surroundings sharply.
Xie Shu Yu's eyes twitched, and she said softly: "Little Song, you..."
At this moment, the shock in her heart was indescribable, it was just that her consistent cultivation and restraint kept her somewhat calm.
"Good evening, Sister Xie Shu Yu, you look really beautiful today." Tang Song showed a bright smile on his face, took the initiative to come to her, very, very close to her.
So close that he could breathe the deep woody scent and faint jasmine scent on her.
"Good evening." Xie Shu Yu's cheeks flushed with a faint red, subconsciously avoiding his gaze, looking at the Rolls-Royce beside her and saying: "What's going on with this car?"
"This is not important."
No, this is very important!
Xie Shu Yu's mouth moved, but she didn't say it in the end, always feeling that the Tang Song in front of her had become a bit different.
Seemed full of aggression.
Actually, she had this feeling when they parted last time, that active hug left a deep impression on her.
"I heard from Sister Yourong that because the financing failed, your mood was very bad, so I wanted to come see you, are you okay?"
Xie Shu Yu's eyes flashed, and she said in a low voice: "It's not that exaggerated, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
"That's good." Tang Song looked down, sizing up this beautiful female CEO.
Facial features bright and beautiful, skin fair, hair pitch-black and thick.
Elegant and mature, posture dignified, spirit especially good.
Overall, she looked like she had a high-IQ, sister-style beauty, full of desire to conquer.
Tang Song took a deep breath, unable to suppress his excited emotions, and opened his arms to hug this dignified, tall, and thin female CEO.
A thick sense of satisfaction and accomplishment struck again.
Feeling the strong and powerful hug, breathing the breath of alcohol on him.
Xie Shu Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and her body gradually loosened.
"Hug... hugged!?" Xie Chunying blurted out: "He is sister's boyfriend? So... so handsome!"
She didn't know how to describe it either, but the most intuitive feeling was handsome, has temperament, very outstanding.
With her words, the few people in front of the floor-to-ceiling window gradually woke up.
The scenes that just happened were still circulating and flashing before their eyes.
Solemn and majestic Rolls-Royce, dashing and beautiful female driver, tall and handsome boy.
"This boy looks very amazing."
"That's for sure, Rolls-Royce Phantom, a luxury car worth more than ten million, I've only seen it on short videos."
"Hiss~, so expensive? Xiaoyu is really amazing, she found such a good boyfriend."
"Su'e, when did Xiaoyu get a partner? Why haven't I heard her mention it."
Listening to the discussion in her ears, Xie's mother took a deep breath, an excited smile surging on her face.
"I'm not clear either, you guys also know, Xiaoyu has been independent since she was a child, her father and I don't care about these things, and we can't care either. But in other words, Xiaoyu definitely has her own plans, knowing what kind of person is most suitable for her. If we interfere randomly, it will be counterproductive."
As she spoke, she looked at Zeng Yan with a smile.
This daughter of hers had been her pride since she was a child and had never made them worry.
Now it seems that she also had her own ideas about her future partner.
For a man as outstanding as this, even if they wanted to help, they had no channels to introduce him.
Zeng Yan twitched her mouth, looking at the hugging figures downstairs with full envy, as well as that gorgeous and elegant Rolls-Royce.
The arrogance that had just risen in her heart was instantly extinguished.
How to compare this?
After a moment of silence, Zeng Yan said awkwardly: "That's right, Xiaoyu has always been capable and has ideas. And the financing matter, it seems we were worrying for nothing."
Other relatives also echoed, full of excitement and expectation.
Driving this kind of luxury car worth tens of millions is definitely a big shot far beyond their level.
With such a partner, Xie Shu Yu will definitely get better and better in the future.
They can also benefit from it.
After a long hug, Tang Song slowly let her go and took half a step back.
"Sister Xie Shu Yu, the river view here is not bad, how about taking a walk together?"
"Yeah." Xie Shu Yu nodded lightly, the expression on her face having returned to normal.
Although there were many doubts and entanglements in her heart, she didn't express them.
And she believed that Tang Song would explain it to her soon.
The weeping willows on the shore were swaying, and the slender willow branches hung down to the ground.
Walking along the sidewalk, one could smell the moist breath of the river and the fragrance of flowers and grass mixed in the air.
The two walked quietly for a while.
Tang Song stopped at a rest area, turned to look at her and said: "Actually, I came here because I wanted to talk to you about investing in Weiguang Cafe."
Xie Shu Yu's fingers exerted force slightly, "What do you mean?"
She could naturally hear the meaning in Tang Song's words, it's just that she was a bit surprised and couldn't believe it in her heart.
Tang Song looked at her bright and spirited eyes and smiled: "Simply put, I've invested in the Weiguang Cafe project! I've already contacted the other two shareholders, and I'll be able to get all the equity in their hands soon."
After hearing the definite answer, Xie Shu Yu's ample chest heaved, and her breathing gradually accelerated.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to keep calm and said: "You're not joking?"
"Of course, I've participated in the investment roadshow and know the whole project very well. And I've also done detailed research and analysis. Currently, the coffee industry is fiercely competitive, and the head brand effect is significant. The chain rate of brands is constantly increasing, and major brands are accelerating the expansion of the number of stores..."
Tang Song's demeanor was relaxed and calm, talking about various data reports, showing excellent professional quality.
After talking for four or five minutes.
Tang Song reached out and held her arm, smiling and saying: "Of course, all these are secondary, the most important thing is, I believe in you, and I want to work with you to make Weiguang Cafe bigger and stronger."
Looking at his straight, handsome, and high-spirited figure, listening to his words, Xie Shu Yu seemed to see the morning half a year ago again.
In the Weiguang Cafe shop.
She and Tang Song were face to face, also in this posture, telling him her views on technical development and her requirements for part-time staff.
Finally, she expressed her belief and affirmation to him, hoping to work with him to make the mini-program well.
Similar scenes, reversed me and you.
