Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

He ignored Yang Xiaoyue's comment about "Xiangpiaopiao".

Jiang Xia said directly to her, "Yueyue, I have a task for you."

"Go and ask all the tourists if they need any boxed lunches. If anyone does, write them down in a notebook."

"Oh, and remember to collect payment; we don't offer free delivery."

Yang Xiaoyue nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Su Qing and I will go ahead. Once you've finished counting, have Xiao Bo call me to report the numbers!" Jiang Xia gave Yang Xiaoyue his final instructions.

Then, Jiang Xia looked at Su Qing and nodded: "Thank you for your trouble!"

Su Qing smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just a small favor."

Jiang Xia took Su Qing to the office first and asked his father for the van key.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jianguo asked what they were going to do.

Jiang Xia said directly, "With so many guests, I'll go to town to buy some boxed lunches and also order a table at Fuyuan Restaurant for us to eat together."

This morning was so busy that Wang Guifen was busy with various things besides boiling water, so she didn't have time to cook.

Jiang Xia didn't want to eat boxed lunches, and there were already five or six people on her side. Since they were all family, ordering a table of food was appropriate.

"Should I go? What if more people come? I don't know how to use your penguin!" Jiang Jianguo asked.

"It's alright." Jiang Xia gave her father a reassuring look.

"Xiao Bo and his girlfriend both know how to do it. When guests come, just have them come and take a look."

Jiang Jianguo was relieved to hear that Jiang Xiaobo also watched penguins.

After taking the car keys from his father, Jiang Xia led Su Qing into their family's van.

Once he started the car and got on the road, he realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.

As a grown man, I was alone with a young girl and I didn't know what to say.

On the other side, Su Qing was also a little embarrassed, and at this moment she was already regretting her kind heart.

Originally, she thought Jiang Xia was quite handsome and outstanding, so she had a strange fondness for him.

This goodwill made her inexplicably kind-hearted when Jiang Xia said he needed help.

As for Jiang Xia, he didn't think that much before he set off!

Both of them were a little at a loss. Jiang Xia sat in the driver's seat, staring intently at the road ahead.

He had been driving for decades, including his previous life, but now he felt like a novice driver on his first time on the road.

Su Qing, in the passenger seat, was even more peculiar. Even though the windshield offered a better view, she insisted on turning her head to look at the scenery outside through the window on the car door.

In the end, it was Su Qing, being the girl, who couldn't stand the awkwardness any longer and turned around to say something.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she regretted it, because she opened her mouth but didn't know how to address Jiang Xia.

Calling someone "brother" like Yang Xiaoyue? Although many people in Shandong Province call strangers "brother," Yang Xiaoyue calls Jiang Xia "brother" because her boyfriend is Jiang Xiaobo.

I feel like it's a little inappropriate to call him "brother".

Should I call him "boss"? Su Qing immediately dismissed the idea; she wasn't working for him anyway.

Jiang Xia, who was standing to the side, finally noticed Su Qing's embarrassment. He blinked:

"Um... what are you trying to say?"

As soon as Jiang Xia spoke, Su Qing instantly calmed down.

She's actually a pretty straightforward girl, but the awkward atmosphere made her a little flustered. When Jiang Xia spoke up, she simply said:

"Um, I'm still not sure what to call you?"

Jiang Xia smiled as she gripped the steering wheel: "Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you, my name is Jiang Xia, you can just call me by my name."

Su Qing nodded. "Then I'll just call you Jiang Xia!"

"Okay, go ahead and call out." Jiang Xia kept her eyes fixed on the road, not looking to the side.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Qing continued, "So how old are you? You don't look that old to me, do you?"

"Yes, I'm 24 this year," Jiang Xia replied.

"Huh? You're only 24?"

Su Qing was somewhat shocked. She had originally thought that Jiang Xia was just young-looking and that his real age must be close to 30. She never expected him to be so young.

"What? Do I look old?" Hearing Su Qing's surprised tone, Jiang Xia gave her a strange look.

"Ah? No, no, no." Su Qing quickly waved her hand, "I just didn't expect you to be so young. I thought bosses had to be at least 30!"

"Hahaha," Jiang Xia laughed, then asked, "And you? How old are you? The same age as Xiao Bo and Yueyue?"

Su Qing shook her head: "No, I'm a bit older than them, 23 years old."

After saying that, she glanced at Jiang Xia with a slightly embarrassed expression. She was only one year younger than him, but she didn't expect him to already be a boss.

Jiang Xia was somewhat surprised: "You're only a year younger than me? How come I don't know you before?"

Su Qing shook her head. How would she know? She was even wondering why she hadn't known him before.

Since they're from the same town, they must have gone to the same school.

However, after thinking about it, the two realized that it wasn't strange at all. With so many people their age, it was inevitable that there would be a few they didn't know.

As Su Qing remained silent, the atmosphere in the car fell silent again.

A few minutes later, Su Qing couldn't contain her curiosity and asked again, "Jiang Xia, you're so young, how did you come up with the idea of ​​opening a place like this for people to fish and becoming the boss yourself?"

She had never fished before and didn't know the terms "fishing grounds" or "black pits" used to refer to fishing parks, so she could only describe the Jiangxia reservoir by asking people to come and fish.

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I've had enough of working in Shanghai, so I thought I'd come back and do something on my own."

"Huh?" Su Qing was surprised to hear about Shanghai, which was a real metropolis.

"You actually worked in Shanghai?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes, I studied computer science in college and have been working in Shanghai ever since graduation."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing knew that Jiang Xia was the legendary model student.

"And you? What do you do for a living now?" Jiang Xia asked in return.

Su Qing blushed slightly upon hearing this, "I'm currently unemployed and staying at home!"

Jiang Xia laughed and said, "That's good too. You're young, why rush to make money?"

Su Qing echoed, "Yes, that's what I think too."

Although she said that, that wasn't what she really thought.

As the conversation flowed, the awkward atmosphere in the car gradually disappeared.

The two started chatting about all sorts of things, with Jiang Xia mostly telling Su Qing about his experiences in Shanghai.

After hearing this, Su Qing gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Xia, this outstanding peer.

In her heart, she felt that Jiang Xia, a boy who was a year older than her, was really amazing!
