At dinner time.

Luo Jinglan inquired about the outcome of today's blind date.

"Hmm, it's alright, not grounded enough, a bit too ambitious!"

Chen Qiu gave her evaluation of the coffee shop owner!

"I knew it! That girl opening a shop and calling herself 'shop manager' is so out of touch with reality!"

Luo Jinglan nodded in agreement.

She was not optimistic about this blind date from the beginning.

The reason Wan Lingfei was added to the shortlist was because of her good education and her family background, where both her parents are retired state-owned enterprise employees.

At this moment, Chen Zhide, who was quietly eating his rice, chimed in.

"I thought that previous civil servant was pretty good."

"She looks quiet and elegant, why didn't we continue chatting?"

The image of Shao Shushuang appeared in Chen Qiu's mind.

Chen Zhide was very fond of the scholarly temperament that her teacher parents had cultivated in her; she looked like a virtuous and steady girl.

It contrasts sharply with her overly ambitious mindset.

As a potential partner, Shao Shushuang is a stress person and not a good match.

But as a subordinate, he would be a capable assistant!

Chen Qiu remembered that she still wanted to treat him to a meal and continue apologizing.

"I guess she's being targeted by Director He at work..."

Shao Shushuang had no grudges or conflicts with him, and she was capable. If she was obedient, Chen Qiu would be happy to give her a hand.

"We're still in touch; we even met up once before."

Chen Qiu answered casually.

Luo Jinglan nodded in satisfaction.

She's worried that her son has become too picky, looking down on everyone, noticing he already has two beautiful secretaries serving him...

Thinking of her secretary, she suddenly became curious again.

"Hey, that tall secretary from earlier..."

"Mom, that person is a few years older than me and has already been divorced once."

Before Luo Jinglan could finish speaking, Chen Qiu knew what she wanted to ask and interrupted her directly.

"You're over thirty? You don't look it at all!"

She looked surprised.

Although Song Xiangtong gave her a somewhat mature feeling, her face looked like she was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

"But since I'm divorced, forget it!"

Divorced women were worthless... Of course, that was in the past.

Now...

"Divorced women are in high demand these days. Take that rascal from uphill, for example. He married a divorced woman, and he still had to pay her a dowry of 200,000 yuan!"

Chen Zhide clicked his tongue in amazement.

"I heard there are a lot of single men around these days..."

Luo Jinglan also began to share gossip and rumors that she had heard from who-knows-where.

Chen Qiu listened with great interest for a while, then took out his phone to send a message to Xu Jia.

"Manager Xu, do you know anything about shop management?"

He planned to talk to Xu Jia first, so that she could be prepared.

……

Yan Baiwei returned home.

"Mom, why aren't you eating at the company today?"

Yan Baiwei bent down and grasped the heel of the boot. Her small feet, wrapped in white socks, slipped out of the boot. As she changed into cotton slippers, she turned to Tao Xia and asked.

Since she started operating her own media platform, Lianyu Decoration has become increasingly busy. Most of the time, Tao Xia cooks at the company to make sure she has enough time.

"The company was besieged by debt collectors today..."

Upon hearing Tao Xia's words, Yan Baiwei's expression darkened, and her mood suddenly became much heavier.

This isn't the first time this has happened!

She even witnessed her father arguing with the debt collectors last time.

Although Yan Li always comforted him by saying that these people were just trying to scare him and wouldn't dare to do anything.

However, as a girl, Yan Baiwei couldn't help but feel scared about it.

"Mom, let's rent somewhere else after the New Year..."

As Yan Baiwei began to speak, she suddenly noticed that her mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, not only did not look worried, but instead seemed somewhat relaxed.

She was stunned.

You know, the last time something like this happened, my mother was in tears and lived in fear for several days!

Today is...

She suddenly remembered that her mother had said she had something to tell her that evening.

Could it be related to this matter?

"Weiwei, take the dishes out first!"

"Where's Dad?"

"I just called him, he should be back soon."

Not long after he finished speaking, the door was pushed open again.

Yan Lifeng returned looking travel-worn, carrying two large bags of gifts.

A few packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, a few boxes of tea, and two bottles of Moutai!

Seeing this scene, Yan Baiwei suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she had returned to ten years ago!

At that time, the real estate market was booming, and her father was also enjoying great success, often bringing home gifts from others.

But now, it's good enough if no one comes to his door to attack him.

"Dad, what are these...?"

"I'll give it to your classmate in the next day or two."

"For my classmate?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Baiwei's red lips parted slightly, her face full of confusion.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Yan Li finally realized what was happening.

"Honey, haven't you explained things to Weiwei yet?"

Yan Baiwei turned back to look at her mother again, her beautiful eyes even more bewildered.

"What's wrong?"

Tao Xia brought out the last plate of shredded potatoes.

"What's the rush? Weiwei just got back."

After the family of three was seated, Yan Baiwei's eyes fell on her parents.

Yan Li rubbed his hands together before speaking.

"Weiwei, you should know about the cultural industry park project, right?"

Yan Baiwei nodded.

Although she had never interfered in her father's affairs, she could hear some of Yan Li's actions on a daily basis.

Sometimes, I even pay attention to industry trends!

The cultural industry park is undoubtedly one of the city's major initiatives, and a group has been specifically created for it.

Regardless of the size of the project or the fact that it is fully funded, as long as her father can participate, not only will the family's debt burden be greatly relieved, but with money, the previously stalled project can also be put on hold!

"Recently, a new president was appointed by the group that is specifically in charge of cultural industrial parks."

"It's your high school classmate!"

High school classmate?

"Which one?"

"Chen Qiu!"

Hearing the familiar name uttered by her father, Yan Baiwei's pupils dilated slightly, and her surprised, questioning expression froze on his cool face.

Then, her frozen expression gradually turned into shock, and her red lips parted slightly.

Chen Qiu?

How could it be Chen Qiu?

"Dad, is that Chen Qiu, the one I'm helping him renovate his house?"

"Who else could it be?"

"I only recognized him after seeing the photo Lao Zhao posted on his WeChat Moments today!"

Hearing her father's words, Yan Baiwei was still in a daze.

She hadn't inquired about Chen Qiu's current situation.

It's not that I'm not curious, but rather that I try to restrain myself as much as possible!

Since Chen Qiu still calls her class monitor, she is trying to preserve the purity of her high school days!

Instead of acting like vulgar adults, inquiring about each other's income and then weighing the benefits that can be exchanged.

Yan Baiwei knew perfectly well that Chen Qiu, who could afford to buy a house in Binjiang No. 1 and Platinum Mansion and could casually spend millions on renovations, must have grown into a towering tree.

But she never expected that this towering tree would stand right in front of her!

You can look up simply by looking up.

Looking at the gifts on the coffee table, Yan Baiwei finally understood what her father meant by giving gifts to her classmate...
