Chapter 105 105
“When did this photo take?”
Holding the newspaper in both hands, Old Mrs. Xu smiled and looked at the photo of her granddaughter while asking Qingxi sitting next to her.
Qingxi had read the newspaper and said absent-mindedly: "Last year, he taught me how to read the map, and Lu Duo took photos outside."
Old Mrs. Xu smiled: "The photo shoot is very good, like a college student who has returned from studying abroad."
Yuxi, Yunxi leaned over to look at it, and Qingxi looked at the yard worriedly.
Lin Wanyin smiled and advised her daughter: "Since the newspaper has made it clear, Qingxi is safe, and business will definitely return to normal."
Lin Wanyin was completely satisfied with Gu Huaixiu, a son-in-law who was only a few years younger than her.
Qingxi is not as optimistic as her mother.
At around eight o'clock, Xiaolan came back from the noodle shop and happily said that the business had improved again, and the guests did not say bad things about Qingxi.
Qingxi was half relieved after hearing this.
At around 11 o'clock, Master Zhao sent a friend back, but the situation was not optimistic. The business on the first floor of the restaurant was OK, but most of the private rooms on the second floor were empty.
Qingxi smiled bitterly. The noodle restaurant is cheap, and the guests are mainly ordinary people. The restaurants are expensive, and many of them have wealthy families. Especially the private rooms on the second floor, which are basically places for rich people and powerful people to entertain guests. As soon as Gu Huaixiu's interview came out, ordinary people knew that she was not a bad woman who hooked up with her fiancé uncle behind her back, so they threw this matter behind her. She should eat noodles and noodles, and should eat vegetables and vegetables, but the upper circle is the most important thing. Like her, she first got engaged to her nephew and then got engaged to her uncle, which is a stain in the upper circle. It is difficult to treat her to order a banquet in the restaurant, and guests will not recommend a restaurant with a bad reputation.
Seeing his granddaughter frowning, Old Mrs. Xu put away the newspaper and explained in a relaxed tone: "Don't be anxious in Qingxi. We have done everything we can, but this matter is so big that it is impossible for everything to recover as before. Wait, as long as the food in our restaurant is delicious, in a month or two, everything that should come will come."
Qingxi nodded, so what if she was anxious, she couldn't change the view of others about herself. What's more, the thing she was most worried about had basically been resolved. Starting today, she could stand with Gu Huaixiu openly.
The loss is the mud and the harvest is the eastern corner, and the clear stream is content.
Two days later, the matchmaker invited by Gu Huaixiu came to discuss the engagement date with Mrs. Xu.
The matchmaker smiled and said, "Old lady, the third master said that he is going to the United States in early May, hoping to hold an engagement banquet with the young lady before departure. Do you think it's convenient for you?"
Old Mrs. Xu was surprised: "What did he do in the United States?"
The matchmaker said: "Mr. Lu said that in July, a car exhibition will be held in the United States. Big car dealers around the world will go there. Sanye is just to attend the auto show. However, I know nothing about cars and I am confused. Maybe just like the food festival in Hangzhou, only good cars can participate in the exhibition, right?"
After this explanation, Mrs. Xu understood. She had heard from her granddaughter intermittently that Gu Huaixiu wanted to make the car business all over the world. Participating in a car show was equivalent to promoting it in foreign newspapers. It was a great thing for the car factory. The more money Gu Huaixiu could make, the better life would be for her granddaughter to marry.
Old Mrs. Xu is very happy. Anyway, she is just getting engaged, so just get early.
The two looked through the almanac together and finally knocked the engagement banquet on April 19th.
The day was set, and Gu Huaixiu called Lu Duo to his side and made several requirements for the engagement ceremony. Lu Duo was the best in this regard. The next day, he went to the city government building and successfully booked Nanhu for one day. In other words, on April 19th, the entire Nanhu Lake was Gu Huaixiu's private engagement place. As long as the cultural relics environment in the Nanhu area was not destroyed, how to decorate the banquet venue, and how to do it with Gu Huaixiu.
Mr. Gu San doesn’t like being high-profile, but when it’s time to be high-profile, he is better than anyone else.
The incident of his contracting for Nanhu for an engagement ceremony was once again on the headlines of Hangzhou Daily.
The Xu family had no news in advance. When they saw this newspaper, Mrs. Xu curled her eyes and Qingxi was also amazed by Gu Huaixiu's big moves. Her heart was sweeter than eating syrup.
Shortly after he was published on the newspaper, Gu Huaixiu posted a wide invitation. He was a well-known family in Hangzhou, regardless of whether they had a friendship or not. After all, the venue was big enough, and Mr. Gu San was not afraid of having too many guests and nowhere to sit.
Old Mrs. Gu also received the invitation...
The wedding invitation with gold-painted red background was like a slap on the face of Mrs. Gu. He tried his best to arrange a big show. It only took three or four days, but now it has led to a series of good things between Gu Huaixiu and Qingxi. The Gu family has not gained any benefits, and was also called and threatened by the Shen family, which once pleased and cursed them. He did not allow Mrs. Gu to use the matter of breaking the engagement to stumbling over Qingxi. Mrs. Gu is not afraid of revealing photos and embarrassing his grandson, but the Shen family wants to make plans for Shen Rumei's reputation.
The more beautiful Gu Huaixiu was, the more angry Mrs. Gu became. She became more angry and fell ill.
It can be said that the Feng Shui is changing. A while ago, Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was bedridden. Now she has become Mrs. Gu.
However, Xu Qingtang Restaurant's reputation in the upper flow circle has not recovered.
Gu Huaixiu is rich and powerful, but his power is a bit black. The local prominent families in Hangzhou may not dare to offend him, but those who claim to be noble and honest will not go to the restaurant where he can praise him to please him.
Qingxi gradually got used to it from worry to indifference, and focused on studying new dishes with Master Zhao. Restaurants and restaurants are the fundamentals.
At the end of February, the spring flowers are blooming in Hangzhou, and the evening wind is also filled with intoxicating warmth.
On the surface of Nanhu Lake, a cruise ship floated alone on top. In the cabin, the enchanting woman was sitting on the legs of a man in an officer's uniform, climbing on his shoulders like vines, and kissing her affectionately. The man was in his early thirties, with short hair and sharp eyebrows, but he was as enthusiastic as the woman in his arms.
The water was rippling, and the cruise ship unknowingly arrived at the center of Nanhu Lake. There was no one around. The woman lay on her back on the round table, singing indulging indulgence.
After a while, the heavy breathing of the man and the woman finally calmed down. The man carried the woman to the room and hugged her and lay down.
"I heard that you want to invite the officials from Hangzhou to dinner?" The woman leaned against the man's arms and asked, touching his chin.
The man nodded and grabbed her fingers to kiss her. He had many women. This one in front of him, he liked the most.
The woman is quite interested: "Have you chosen a restaurant?"
The man said without hesitation: "Where can you go to the mountain guest?"
The woman hummed and said in disagreement: "I think Xu Qingtang is better."
Gu Huaixiu is a character, so men also heard about Gu Huaixiu’s relationship with Xu Qingtang. When he heard the woman’s words, the man lowered his head and looked at the woman he had just loved with black eyes and dangerously: “Gu Huaixiu sent you to be a lobbyist?”
Liu Yuanyuan immediately spat him, sat up with her arms, stared at Zhao Shuai, a famous province in Jiangnan, and said, "Do you remember that year I met a robber on the train? The female shopkeeper of Xu Qingtang was sitting opposite me. The little girl was so elegant and elegant. I saw that she was in love with her and called her sister. Later, the robber robbed, and I depended on you to hide. The little girl was forced by the robbers. In desperation, she used a Western-style knife to save herself. I told you that I have never admired any woman in my life, but Manager Xu, I obeyed her. Now her restaurant business is not going well, so I want to help her."
Zhao Shuai understood, smiled and pulled Liu Yuanyuan back into his arms, and said pamperingly: "Okay, if she can convince you, I will give her a face."
Liu Yuanyuan was only satisfied.
Zhao Shuai did what he said and sent someone to say hello to Xu Qingtang in advance and asked the restaurant to prepare well.
Master Zhao was so excited that he rushed home and notified Qingxi immediately.
Qingxi has been busy picking jewelry for engagement banquets these two days. When she heard Zhao Shuai named him to invite several top political officials in Hangzhou at Xu Qingtang. Not to mention jewelry, even Gu Huaixiu herself was present, she had no intention of watching it. She hurriedly changed her clothes and followed Master Zhao to the restaurant to discuss the preparations for the banquet.
But Master Zhao had never dealt with such a big scene. Qingxi still went to Gu Huaixiu's villa and asked Gu Huaixiu to check it out.
Gu Huaixiu hadn't seen Qingxi for almost two months. Unexpectedly, as soon as the woman entered the study, she excitedly asked him about another man.
Gu Huaixiu wouldn't even care about changing his name. He must first suppress his petite and seductive fiancée and be intimate, but Zhao Shuai...
As far as he knows, Zhao Shuai only returned from Shencheng yesterday afternoon. Except for his family who had nothing to do with Qingxi, Zhao Shuai only saw Liu Yuanyuan.
Gu Huaixiu knew that Liu Yuanyuan was the character, because of the train, Liu Yuanyuan's performance, and there was a big backer behind him, so after getting off the train, Gu Huaixiu asked his subordinates to secretly check Liu Yuanyuan's information.
Liu Yuanyuan helped Qingxi pull the guests?
Gu Huaixiu could not find the interest relationship between Liu Yuanyuan's helper Qingxi, so he had to find a reason...
Gu Huaixiu looked at Qingxi.
The seventeen-year-old girl has a beautiful appearance and clear almond eyes, which is very popular.
Perhaps, his Qingxi River is destined to have noble people to help him.
Gu Huaixiu put down his pen: "I want to know why Zhao Shuai chose Xu Qingtang?"
Qingxi looked at him expectantly.
Gu Huaixiu patted his knees: "Come here."
It was not until this moment that Qingxi remembered that the man sitting by the window was both Gu Sanye, who was powerful and omniscient, and her fiancé, a strong fiancé who was increasingly addicted to his skin.
Qingxi subconsciously glanced at the study door. She was anxious to inquire about the news just now and forgot to close it.
"Lock." Gu Huaixiu couldn't sit still and asked her to be at home, so it was easy for accidents to happen if she didn't lock the door.
Qingxi bit her lip, and he wanted to take advantage of her, but he even ordered her to close the door?
"Don't want to know?" Gu Huaixiu asked lightly, his eyes clear, as if Qingxi dared to say no, he really wouldn't answer.
Although he knew he did it on purpose, who made Qingxi ask for help? He glared at Gu Huaixiu with resentment, and Qingxi obediently went to close the door.
The door panel closed and locked. Qingxi slowly turned around, but when he turned around, the man who was approaching came over at some point.
Qingxi's mouth was dry and his tongue was licking his lips unconsciously.
The next second, Gu Huaixiu leaned over and kissed her.
