Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

Most of the time, he still stays in the silver building. With him in charge, the Wande silver building has returned to an orderly look.

What disturbed him was that Qi Mei came more and more frequently, acting like a girlfriend. After a long time, everyone in the silver building knew about it, which made it difficult for him to explain.

In the silver building, Qi Mei asked someone to open his office directly, and sat and waited for him.

"Why are you here again?" As soon as Mu Qing opened the door, she saw this young lady with a dizzy head.

"I miss you, don't forget that you are my boyfriend." Qi Mei said bluntly, "I am here today, it is my father who invited you to my house for dinner on the weekend." She went to the desk and took out a newspaper and flipped through it .

"I won't go." Mu Qing felt that it was enough, and didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

"You go, actually, my father has something else to discuss with you." What Qi Mei said was true. Ever since Mu Qing reversed her status and became a hot figure in the city, Master Qi changed his previous attitude and wished he could immediately take him Become your sincere son-in-law.

"What's the matter? Tell me first, and I'll think about it first."

"It seems to be something about the pier. I'm not very clear about it. Give me face and agree to it on the weekend?" Qi Mei shook his arm actively.

Mu Qing quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind: "Let me think about it before answering you."

"Then I'll come back in two days and wait for your good news." Qi Mei knew that he was not so firm in refusing, and knowing that he had made a concession, she no longer forced her.

She went away contentedly.

There seemed to be two voices entangled in Zhou Muqing's mind, and one advised him: why not go, and listen to Master Qi talk about the wharf.The other stopped and said: No, you don't love Miss Qi at all, so you can't hurt her.

He couldn't figure it out all the time, his chest was stuffy like the weather.Standing in front of the window of Yinlou's office, he suddenly felt breathless.

After get off work, he returned home with his thoughts on his mind.During the meal, the old man saw that he couldn't cheer up, so he asked him to come to the study to ask carefully.

"Qing'er, do you have something to hide from me?" the old man asked.

"I..." Mu Qing hesitated to speak.

"If you have any problems, just tell me." The old man couldn't help guessing when he saw that he was embarrassed.

"Miss Qi told me that Master Qi would like to invite me over for a light meal on weekends."

"Are you hesitating whether to go or not?" the old man said to the point.

Mu Qing nodded: "It is said that Master Qi wants to talk to me about the dock."

"I can only give you one suggestion, and you have to weigh it yourself. I know it's spread in the Yinlou, but you are reluctant to give Qi Mei, isn't it? Speaking of docks, ours is the only one of the three families that doesn't have a dock. Trading is like pinching In other people's hands. In all fairness, if you go to talk about the wharf at this time, it's okay. If you don't want to have entanglements with the Qi family at all, I can understand if you don't go. But do you still remember your judgment on the Qi family sitting on the wall? I believe Qi Hong is still doing it now."

"I understand that the Qi family seems to be taking the opportunity to try to get rid of Zhihe's influence and control." Mu Qing nodded.

"Yes. Qing'er, you must be clear about your purpose when doing things."

This is a very crucial sentence, his goal is to regain Zhilan.In addition to taking down Wande, it is also an important part of his plan for Zhilan to recover her identity and live in the city with integrity.

The Qi family, he couldn't get around it.

The old man's words cleared the clouds and made his thoughts finally wander out of the long foggy "forest".

The weekend is here.

Qi Mei received the news that Mu Qing will come.Today she dressed up meticulously, and put on a newly cut summer dress—a light dark green silk dress, which matched her tall stature and Shengxue's skin very well.Regardless of the scorching summer, she insisted on letting her hair hang over her shoulders, and even pinned a delicate hairpin on her hair.

Bichun helps her check, in order to show Mu Qing the most beautiful side of her daughter.

Mr. Qi even arranged the meals carefully. Hearing that he loves to drink red wine, he brought out the imported dry red wine that he had treasured for a long time.

The most important thing for the Qi family today is to treat Zhou Muqing well, and declined all other activities.For today's "light meal", Master Qi deliberately ordered preparations, and even invited a tailor to make new clothes for several rooms.

Bichun knew in her heart that Master Qi was looking for his son-in-law.

Yaochun is worrying about her own daughter, Yuchun Bichun's daughters are all settled, one is better than the other, but this one in my yard is not happy, how can there be emotions involved in a blind date, the master's orders have to be obeyed, only Can complain in his own room.

For a while, everyone had their own ideas.

Zhou Muqing arrived on time by car.

Master Qi greeted him at the door with his family.

"Muqing, you're here." Qi Mei didn't care about etiquette, she saw him get off the car, ran over and directly took his arm.

Mu Qing frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Bichun keenly sensed something, looked at Zhou Muqing's foolishly happy daughter, and quickly looked away again.

"I'm ashamed, ashamed, how can I let Mr. Qi, an elder, greet you in person, it's too grand, I'm really embarrassed."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you are now Chief Zhang's brother-in-law, and you can be regarded as a rising star." Master Qi smiled.

"Hi, it's just a name."

"The meal is still being prepared, let's sit in the living room first." Steward Qi led the way, "Please!"

"Guest as you wish."

"Zhou Muqing, after dinner, I'll take you around the house." Qi Mei was excited like a chirping bird.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was Qi Mei who rushed to pester Zhou Muqing, and the other party didn't have that strong feeling for her.

Yaochun snorted softly in his nose.

Everyone sat down on the sofa, Mu Qing asked straight to the point: "I heard that you want to talk to me about the dock today, what is it?"

"Oh, this is a private idea of ​​mine. It's like this. The incoming and outgoing cargo volume of your Wande and Lijiazhihe accounts for almost two-thirds of the total freight at our terminal. I plan to give you Wande's current freight rate 20.00% cheaper , I just ask you to say a few nice words in front of Chief Zhang."

"Are you giving me a 20.00% discount?" Mu Qing asked in surprise, thinking that Master Qi made a big deal once.

"I'm getting older, and I have to think about my children. At the same time, I have an unfeeling request. I hope you can treat our Meimei well."

"So this counts as a condition?" Mu Qing asked seriously.

"Probably." Master Qi thought for a while.

Mu Qing didn't make a sound, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

"Father, what are you talking about." Qi Mei smoothed things over, "He and I have just started, and we haven't written a word yet."

Master Qi glared at her, and she quickly shut up.

"Master, it's time to eat." The butler came to report.

"Nephew, this way please." He led the way to the dining room.

Mu Qing and everyone followed behind.

The dining room of the Qi family is furnished in a simple and elegant way, and there is a small lotus pond outside the window, in which the lotus flowers bloom very beautifully.In terms of making a fortune, the Qi family is different from the Zhou and Li families.Master Qi’s ancestor was an official in the Hanlin Academy at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and was later released as a local official. He was once a subordinate of Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang. During the Westernization Movement, he also cooperated with the establishment of schools and factories in the city. Jiangcheng is very influential.

This house can be regarded as the ancestral house of the Qi family, it is really unexpected that such an elegant dining room is hidden deep in the house.Zhou Muqing admired the scenery and smelled the faint fragrance of lotus, so he fell in love with this dining room.

"Nephew, I don't know if today's dishes are to your liking." After taking his seat, Master Qi said politely.

"It's really rich." Zhou Muqing said with a smile, "You are so kind."

The dishes on the table are indeed rare dishes for ordinary people, such as steamed golden pomfret, steamed pork ribs with lotus leaf powder, and ancient method of fragrant lotus root soup.

"Nephew, as long as you like it." Master Qi said with a smile, "By the way, I heard from Meimei that you like to drink red wine. Try this bottle of dry red wine from France. It tastes mellow." He motioned his servants to pour Mu Qing a glass .

Mu Qing glanced at Qi Mei, took a sip and said, "It's really good wine! In all fairness, when it comes to wine tasting, I'm far inferior to Miss Qi."

Qi Mei suddenly heard Mu Qing's praise, smiled at him sweetly, and put a piece of fish in his bowl.

Zhou Muqing said to Qi Mei uncomfortably: "Miss Qi, thank you, I will come by myself."

Bichun has been paying attention to the interaction between the two of them. She feels sorry for her daughter's humble appearance. When she lowered her head to ladle the soup, she inadvertently saw Yaochun give her a half-smile and meaningful glance, which aroused Bichun's competitive spirit.She is the head wife of the Qi family, except for the old lady who is basically a one-sided person, Yaochun's meaningful glance made her feel uncomfortable.

She doesn't want to taste the delicacies, and she doesn't feel like eating anything.Suddenly, she thought of something, and looked up at her daughter and Mu Qing again.Qi Mei's eyes were completely immersed in Mu Qing, and she couldn't even eat it.

Bichun finally made up his mind, put on a smile, and said to Mr. Qi: "Master, you often say that the Gorgon fruit cake made by my cook at Cuiweiju is delicious. Today I want the cook to make it for my nephew to try. How is it?"

"Okay! I don't know what my nephew wants?" Master Qi looked at Mu Qing and smiled.

"It's all up to you." Mu Qing said politely and embarrassedly, "Uncle Qi, you are my elders, just call me by my name."

"Okay, since my nephew agreed, I'll tell the cook to make it right away, and I'll eat it as a snack later." Bichun didn't wait for Master Qi to answer, and said directly, and she retreated.

Facing her figure, Yaochun sneered inadvertently. Yuchun saw it. She already knew that the second and third bedrooms were not compatible, so she didn't want to be troublesome, so she just lowered her head and ate vegetables.

Eating and drinking time flies the fastest.

"Housekeeper, take a portion of the leftover food and send it to Cailing Courtyard for Second Miss." Master Qi reminded the housekeeper of Qi Ying who was in confinement.

"I shouldn't have asked more about your family affairs. Is Second Miss sick?" Mu Qing asked curiously after hearing this.

It was inconvenient for Master Qi to say more, and said: "Yes, the little girl has been ill for a while."

Mu Qing keenly noticed the embarrassment on Yao Chun's face, thinking that there must be something unspeakable, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Qi Mei smiled and winked at him.

"Master, I'll go back to Cailing Courtyard to see Xiaoying." Yaochun stood up and said goodbye.
