“Qingwu, welcome to Nandu.” Just as Yan Qingwu just walked out of Shuangliu Airport, a middle-aged man in a suit respectfully walked up to Yan Qingwu and said, “You’ve had a hard journey. I’ve booked a luxurious suite at Jiulong Hotel. Shall we go there now?”
“Uncle Li, there’s no need to be so polite. How can I deserve such courtesy?” Yan Qingwu said gently. She recognized the person in front of her, Li Cunliang, the vice mayor of Nandu, who belonged to the Yan family.
“If Master Yan knew that I didn’t entertain Qingwu well when she came to Nandu, wouldn’t he scold me?” Li Cunliang also joked with Yan Qingwu. He knew this young lady of the Yan family very well. Usually approachable, but once she lost her temper, no one could bear it. However, Li Cunliang wasn’t worried because this wasn’t the first time he had dealt with this young lady.
“Uncle Li, don’t tease Qingwu.” Yan Qingwu still spoke in a calm tone. “You know why I came here. There’s no need for so much fuss. Just go to your place. I have to go to Haichuan tomorrow.”
“Alright, let’s go now!” Li Cunliang didn’t waste time with Yan Qingwu and directly led her to his car.
He understood that since Yan Qingwu had said that, she didn’t consider him an outsider, so there was no need for formalities.
After returning to Haichuan, Chen Hao immediately went back to the rented house he lived in. Although his current conditions weren’t good, he wouldn’t let Yan Qingwu look down on him. Although they were childhood sweethearts.
After tidying up the house, Chen Hao immediately called Li Yanjun and made an appointment to meet at a teahouse not far from Dayuanyuan.
Now that he had bought the ten-thousand-yuan ring, he didn’t have much money left. And the check Han Batian gave him hadn’t been cashed yet. Tomorrow Yan Qingwu was coming, would he go to meet her in his current clothes?
So, Chen Hao planned to get an advance on his salary from Li Yanjun to buy a decent set of clothes.
When he arrived at the teahouse, Li Yanjun was already waiting there. Chen Hao immediately sat down opposite Li Yanjun.
“Xiao Hao, what’s the matter with you coming to see Brother Li this time?” Li Yanjun naturally knew what Chen Hao was thinking, so he didn’t wait for Chen Hao to speak and asked first.
“Brother Li, I want to get an advance on my salary. I have a friend coming tomorrow and I need some money.” Chen Hao directly stated his purpose. After all, he had to go buy clothes next, and it was already almost afternoon since he came from Dexin, so there wasn’t much time to waste.
“How much do you need?” Li Yanjun already knew what Chen Hao meant and asked directly.
“Just a month’s salary. It should be enough.” Chen Hao was a bit embarrassed. He had only worked at Dayuanyuan for one day and then been on vacation. Asking for an advance on a month’s salary made him a bit ashamed. He also feared that it would be difficult for Li Yanjun, after all, Dayuanyuan wasn’t Li Yanjun’s, and Li Yanjun was just working for someone else.
“没问题,等下就去总台拿吧,我会打过电话过去。” Li Yanjun was a bit surprised. He thought Chen Hao would only ask for a small living expense. He realized that since Chen Hao had found a job at Dayuanyuan, he must be short of money. He didn’t expect Chen Hao to ask for an advance on a month’s salary. Although the amount wasn’t much, it wouldn’t be easy to explain to other employees.
But for such a small matter, Li Yanjun could make the decision.
“Thank you, Brother Li.” Chen Hao was a bit moved. Before, Li Yanjun had helped him, and now he didn’t hesitate at all.
“Nothing, it’s just a small matter.” Li Yanjun understood Chen Hao’s character and generously invited, “There should be nothing to do now. We haven’t gotten together for a long time. Let’s go play together?”
“Not now, I need to go buy some clothes. Maybe another time.” Chen Hao declined. He wasn’t in the mood to go out now.
“Alright, then go ahead with your business. Call me if you need anything.” Li Yanjun looked at Chen Hao a few times and said.
“Then I’ll go first.” Chen Hao said and left the teahouse, heading to Dayuanyuan.
The teahouse wasn’t far from Dayuanyuan, just a few steps away. When he arrived at Dayuanyuan, he directly got the money at the front desk. Li Yanjun must have called the front desk before, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten the money so easily. The front desk would have to make up the difference themselves if there was a shortage.
But they were very curious why this colleague who had only worked for one day could get an advance on his salary so easily?
The whole afternoon passed quickly. Chen Hao successfully bought a suit and felt very good about it, then returned to his rented house.
The next day, Chen Hao got up very early in the morning. He didn’t know why Yan Qingwu was coming this time, and he didn’t want to think too much about it. As long as he did what he should do. He had also thought about relying on the strength of the Yan family to take revenge, but was that realistic? Even if the Yan family helped him, would the Chen family just let the Yan family help him?
Now Chen Hao didn’t trust anyone except himself. As long as he became powerful enough, nothing was impossible. In this world, whoever had more power was the master!
Chen Hao had planned to go to the bus station to pick up someone, but before he went out, the phone rang: “Mr. Chen? Our miss is already at Jinghu Hotel. You can come here yourself later.” A somewhat cold voice came into Chen Hao’s ears.
“Got it, I’ll come over later.” Chen Hao was very curious. He was supposed to arrive around ten o’clock, why was she here so early? Did she really can’t wait to break the engagement with him?
“Hurry up, don’t make our miss wait too long.” The voice came again and then hung up.
Chen Hao faintly heard a voice over there talking about the girl who called him.
Putting away his phone, Chen Hao went straight to Jinghu Hotel.
Jinghu Hotel, the only four-star hotel in Haichuan, wasn’t far from Longjing Village where Chen Hao was now. In just ten minutes, with the taxi driver braking, he arrived at Jinghu Hotel.
Looking at this luxurious hotel, Chen Hao had a feeling. Before, when he was training in the army, he didn’t have the chance to enjoy it. Even when he stayed in a five-star hotel during a mission, he didn’t have time to enjoy it. After leaving the army, he was expelled by the Chen family and became an outcast, having no chance to enjoy all this.
And now, his fiancée was going to meet him here, wasn’t this a kind of irony?
He adjusted his mood and walked inside.
