Quick time travel apprentice love me a few more times

Chapter 121 Return to the present world

The relationship that has been valued, Luo Jin immediately received a phone call from Du Ruo after repaying the 'debt', asking him about his free time for a formal date.

After tossing and tossing over and over again, what Du Ruo first thought of, the first step in carrying out the plan, was dating again.

The time is tentatively set in two days, and Du Ruo hasn't disclosed the detailed plan, or maybe he hasn't figured it out yet.Just as he was relieved that the relationship between the two had finally made a breakthrough, the next night, Luo Jin, who had just got off work, received another call from Secretary Xu.

Because parking is not easy at the restaurant, and the city is always congested at night, Luo Jin always takes the bus to and from get off work. Even if she travels farther to take the subway, the time to go home is faster than driving by herself.

On this day, the bus that Luo Jin took was not too crowded, and it was still blocked on the street halfway.The buses with dedicated lanes all stop and go slowly, Luo Jin looked at the time displayed there, and began to feel annoyed why she didn't just take a few more steps to take the subway.

At present, it seems that everything is developing in a good direction, and it is not as difficult as he thought.

Before having dinner with Du Ruo, Luo Jin received his work response.Because of the detailed resume and rich previous work experience, the salary in the new company is much better than before.

On the premise of a good mood, it’s okay to spend too much time in traffic jams.Under such circumstances, when receiving a call from Secretary Xu, Luo Jin naturally didn't think of anything bad.

The sky was dim, and the street lights suddenly turned on, and followed the lights to answer Secretary Xu's phone call.Because the bus was very quiet, the only sound was the impatient honking of vehicles outside the window, so Luo Jin naturally lowered the volume so as not to disturb the rest of the passengers.

……

"Teacher Luo?"

"Well, yes."

Secretary Xu's voice rang from the other end of the phone, because Du Ruo called him this before, so as a person close to Du Ruo, Secretary Luo followed suit.

It's not a real teacher, but just a tutor, so it's fine to be called that by Du Ruo, but it's a little awkward for someone else.

"Are you with Mr. Du tonight?"

"Didn't he go to the family dinner, didn't he tell you about this kind of thing?" The neon lights of the building flashed the time, and it was already 06:30 in the evening.

In Luo Jin's view, Secretary Xu should know all of Du Ruo's movements, why did she come to ask him today instead.

"Family banquet...Actually, he didn't reveal too much about Mr. Du's family affairs, and our subordinates are not good at interfering with such matters. That's just, I received a call just now, and suddenly asked me to deliver something to Mr. Du... ..."

"But I don't know the exact place where he attended the family banquet. I'm afraid I can't help you." The phone call was inexplicable, and Secretary Xu's flustered tone really made Luo Jin confused.

"No, no, I know the location, but where are you now, Mr. Luo? Things are quite special, so I want to know where you are..."

Send things?

So Secretary Xu made the call to confirm the distance between himself and Du Ruo, is it possible that something should be given to him?

Because she had been pursued by Du Ruo all the time before, Luo Jin and Secretary Xu were considered to be friends and became friends, so the other party's words were a little more straightforward, and she stopped talking when she wanted to ask what it was, and she honestly exposed herself approximate location.

After hearing his own answer, Secretary Xu was obviously stunned for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, as if he had made up his mind and made a huge decision, Secretary Xu told Luo Jin word by word: "Mr. Luo, in fact, a long time ago, Mr. Du asked me to find someone to customize a ring. The car accident had already been done at that time, as far as I know... Du always wore that ring on the day of the accident."

"What... ring? For whom..."

I lowered my voice, because this kind of keyword instantly increased the attention.

"Men's ring, it's obvious who it's for, Mr. Luo!" Secretary Xu said a little anxiously, and there was a sound of rummaging through the phone: "Just now I received a message asking me to give away the previous ring. You were there, but the distance sounds improbable, the family dinner was in the suburbs, and you were in the city..."

So, who is Du Ruo going to give the ring to?

"what!"

"What's the matter?" Just as he was planning to call Du Ruo later to find out the situation, he heard a surprised cry from the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Luo, I'm looking for a ring in the office now... The ring I found a few days ago has been in the drawer, but now there is nothing in it... I heard from the people who stayed in the company that the box was stolen by Mr. Du's uncle. took away..."

……

In a mountain villa in the suburbs.

Du Ruo half leaned on the handrail of the stairs, bored and staring at the bustling crowd gathered in the lobby on the first floor.

When his parents were still alive, his parents had always told him to maintain a good relationship with his relatives. Even the Tang family, who had always looked down on the Du family, Du's father would not forget to bring gifts to visit during the holidays.

Probably the elders and those who are in their forties pay special attention to this kind of emotion. It may also be that his father spends more time with those relatives and has a closer relationship with his peers.Anyway, Du Ruo, who was busy with his parents and didn't have time to visit relatives when he was young, didn't feel that he had much affection for these strangers who were related by blood.

Especially after the unexpected death of my parents, I can no longer be interested in getting close after seeing certain faces of certain people.

Even so, Du Ruo was more patient with these relatives because of his parents. He would not refuse occasional family dinners and help these relatives make connections. Anyway, for him, it was just a matter of effort That's all.

"Duruo!"

Hearing the shout, he slowly turned his head to look over, and saw his uncle approaching him with an old man with a swollen face and a shiny face, and when the two approached him, he realized that the man Behind him was a young girl.

"Come on, come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Shang, who is very famous in N City. Look, Mr. Shang, this is my little nephew, Du Ruo." He waved his hand, and started walking after he stood still. Introduced back and forth.

Facing the oily old man, Uncle Du Ruo's demeanor was extremely low.

That's right, Du Ruo still remembered that his uncle's own business was planning to develop in N City, so it's okay to know the people there in advance.

He glanced lightly at Mr. Shang, he had also heard about this man, he seemed to be in the land business before, but he has been going downhill recently.

Of course, even in the heyday, he was not a big shot, and the reason why it was spread to his ears from a long distance was: whether Mr. Shang won a huge lottery or twice.

Anyway, Du Ruo didn't intend to take the initiative to go to the three people in the bustle, but just stood up straight and welcomed the three people over there approaching step by step.

Tall stature seemed to give people a sense of oppression by nature, and Du Ruo, who stood upright, was much taller than the three people approaching him.He softened his complexion and made those eyes look less cold and gloomy. Du Ruo knew that according to the current posture, his uncle would use himself as one of the negotiating conditions to come to discuss cooperation with others.

After returning to China, every nominal "family banquet" has been like this, Du Ruo has long been used to it.

Sure enough, the three of them stood firm, and the girl behind the oily man had just emerged, when Uncle Du started a new round of more grand introductions.

"My nephew, he studied in a foreign university, and his studies are quite excellent, but he gave up continuing his studies because of family reasons. No, he returned to China almost as soon as he graduated. It has only been two years since my death. The business founded by my brother went smoothly, and I even opened a small company myself."

"I know this. I heard that Mr. Du is new to the catering industry, right?"

Focusing on Du Ruo, Mr. Shang was very satisfied with the "plan" for tonight with the clear-eyed young man in front of him. He nodded, reached out to shake his hand, and expressed his approval.

"Well, it didn't take long to start, and the scale will expand in the future." Out of respect for the elders, Du Ruo still took the fat palm and shook it formally.

Although he felt that it was inappropriate to be called such a "Mr. Du" who was twice as senior by his side, Du Ruo didn't intend to talk about his own affairs, but simply responded perfunctorily.

His new start is indeed the catering industry. The high-quality and high-end hotel accommodation that Du Ruo plans to lock in is similar to a resort, but it is not exactly the same in scale and form. The specific steps have been set before returning to China, and now they have been implemented. For two years, the benefits are not bad.

After all, Du Ruo had a large amount of financial guarantee as the foundation. When his parents passed away, they left him a large amount of real estate, funds, and company shares. With the support of these cold money and the experience of studying abroad, it would be easy It is handy.

The old company has long been on the right track thanks to the efforts of the deceased relatives, and Du Ruo also has his own plans in terms of career.

Of course, why involve the restaurant industry?It is also an important purpose to show Tang's side, after all, to get to the bottom of it, Tang's fortune was originally from catering.

It's not to bring down that family. Du Ruo also knows that his own ability can't compare with that family's industry for several generations. Although the stock of Tang Group has fallen in recent years, their chain hotels have already spread all over the country, and he has is just beginning.

But who knows what will happen in the future?

Anyway, Du Ruo just wanted to prove for his parents that the unmatched love was nothing more than the one surnamed Du was not something they despised and was worthless.

There was another burst of ear-piercing politeness, Du Ruo was about to say goodbye and leave when Uncle Du patted him on the shoulder.

Then, following the guidance of his palm, he saw the brought girl who had been standing far away just now was pulled over by Mr. Shang.

"This is Shang Qianqian, the only daughter of my family who is worthless. She is still studying at university. I heard that Mr. Du studied management before, and so does Qianqian. You young people should communicate well, and we old men will not bother you for the rest of the time. gone."

"Where is it..."

Not knowing what to answer, Du Ruo frowned slightly, looked at the pretty girl who was pushed in front of her, and just about to continue saying that she had something to do, the two over there left without looking back.

……

He wanted to stop them, but the little girl in front of him tugged at his sleeves and shook his head, as if there was something unspeakable.

Although Du Ruo's mood was a little irritable when faced with the person who suddenly threw him over, he would never take his anger out on others, so he could only try to calm the frown between his brows without saying a word, and looked down at the nervous girl.

When there were only two figures left on the stairs, Shang Qianqian, who was also paying close attention to her father's departure, breathed a sigh of relief, and faced this man who was excellent in every aspect with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, my dad...is such a person..." Sighing lightly, Shang Qianqian blinked her eyes. For her, what she said was still to come.

"No, but I won't be here with you for too long, because I have an appointment tomorrow, so I have to go to see the place in advance later." Responded lightly, he did not forget the first date set for tomorrow night.Seeing that the little girl named Shang Qianqian was obviously nervous, Du Ruo deliberately softened her tone so that the other party wouldn't be too nervous.

On weekdays, as a joke, Secretary Xu also teased him for always having such a cold face. Du Ruo himself knew that sometimes he couldn't control his expression well, and it was difficult to leave a good impression on others.But this face is used to this kind of expression, it is too difficult for him to change it, so he has to change the speed of speech and pitch to ease some inappropriate atmosphere.

"Is that so... But Du, Mr. Du Ruo, I still want to ask you to do me a favor."

Hearing that the other party was about to leave in a few moments, Shang Qianqian knew that she could not hesitate any longer, fearing being rejected by Du Ruo and not being able to find another suitable partner for a while, she immediately bowed deeply and sincerely said in a volume that the two of them could hear : "Can, can you have a temporary relationship with me in front of my father?"

"what?"

He thought he had heard it wrong, but he had never heard of such a sudden and strange request.

However, before she could refuse, Shang Qianqian raised her face and continued pitifully: "I, I heard from my father that you don't have a fixed partner yet, this time it's Uncle Du I asked my father to bring me here, so..."

So do the elders of both parties have the intention of 'making a good relationship'?

What Shang Qianqian said was incomplete, but the meaning was quite obvious. It seemed that my uncle was negotiating a big deal with the Shang family this time.

In fact, Du Ruo had also heard about simple family marriages in business, but he never thought that such things would really happen to him, or to himself.

What's more, it's not the parents who are immediate relatives who make the decisions for me, but the uncle who I haven't had much contact with since I was a child.

The haze in my eyes became more and more serious. I always felt that I was very polite to these relatives. I helped as my father told me before, but now it seems that the other party is not polite to me at all.

Seeing the condescending gaze glancing at her, Shang Qianqian's back was shivered by Du Ruo's gaze, and she took a step back in horror, and said hastily, "It's just...just pretending, but I actually have a boyfriend!"

The long eyelashes flickered, and Shang Qianqian felt embarrassed: "It's just that the other party is because of his seniority...my parents don't like him very much, he is very good..."

As soon as this was mentioned, two expressions of happiness and regret appeared on the girl's face. For some reason, Luo Jin felt that this expression was somewhat similar to the expression of her mother when she was young and when she was concentrating.

Although this metaphor is not suitable, it seems that their experiences are similar. Through the meaning of the words, the reason for being rejected by her parents is because of money.

Even if he wanted to help, Du Ruo would not accept such a request.

"Since your boyfriend is excellent, he can solve it by himself, otherwise, where is his excellence?" Du Ruo lowered his eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of Du Ruo's mouth.

She was not interested in the cute girl who acted childishly in front of her, but simply curious about what kind of person such a little girl would fall in love with.

"No, no, we belong to the same school, and his financial capacity is limited, so he can't help our family... After all, the current policy adjustment in N City requires a lot of money for real estate." I was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, but because Du Ruo's eyes that seem to see through everything in front of him accidentally exposed the original purpose of 'association' with Du Ruo.

It seems that my uncle gave me a very high price. I don't know how much he can charge?What other benefits?

With a chuckle, the sarcasm in Du Ruo's eyes became more serious. I don't know what his uncle thinks, how can he be so sure that he will obey his arrangement?

After so many years, because of my "kind treatment", do I still think of myself as the high school student who doesn't understand anything, blindly obeys the decision of the "adult", and almost gives up the shares of the parents' company.

I am really disappointed with the elders' decision, but it seems that none of the plans of the two elders is willing to implement when it comes to the younger generation.

"I'm sorry... But Mr. Du, don't worry, I won't interfere with your work, and my boyfriend is also a potential stock, he may be able to repay you in the future, and he is about the same height as you, but slightly prettier than you, gentle A lot...he has been waiting for me."

Although Du Ruo's bottomless eyes were gloomy and terrifying, she was never hostile to herself. Shang Qianqian mustered up her courage and simply completed what she hadn't finished because of exposure.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Shang Qianqian admits that her boyfriend does not have the exquisite facial features and good looks of the one in front of him, but he takes care of her to the extreme, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the man in front of him with the aura of "don't let strangers in".

Sure enough, she was a little girl who was well protected since she was a child.

Although being compared in this way, it sounds very awkward to unilaterally state conditions that are difficult to meet.

Potential stocks sound nice to say, but it's not certain whether they will rise in the end, or they may continue to have potential.

Du Ruo was too lazy to argue with this little girl, but when it came to waiting, these two words touched the softest part of his heart.

Although he is not particularly familiar with the person who disappeared in his memory, he seems to have been waiting for him, and now, he has once again occupied a place that is difficult to ignore in his heart.

"You don't need to use an honorific title. I'm only a few years older than you. Also, I don't have time to agree to this kind of thing. Similarly, there are people who have been waiting for me."

The warmth spread from the bottom of the heart, the corners of the mouth were unconsciously bent, and the smile conveyed to the eyes.

Obviously not very familiar, just got a general idea, but thinking of the dinner that day, when Luo Jin was dragged to her side, the other party's ears were reddened, and the voice softened: "And now, I don't plan to Let him continue to wait."

The eyes are obviously smiling...

Such a beautiful smile made Shang Qianqian stunned in place. It took a long time to find her slightly hoarse voice, and instantly felt that her boyfriend didn't look so pleasing to the eye.

Du Ruo's refusal was expected by Shang Qianqian, but she was lucky.

But now, the most suitable candidate was lost, and she had no chance to meet anyone again. Thinking about the current situation, she couldn't help but sigh.

Once you've settled down, you still have to rely on yourself.

"That's it, then, I won't bother, the other party must be a very gentle person... In the future, we will be as happy as you." After summing up her speech, Shang Qianqian sincerely blessed her.

"kindness."

After refraining from smiling and responding, a scattered picture suddenly appeared in his mind, which seemed to be mixed with someone's soft gaze and smile, but the time it appeared was too short, so Du Ruo just firmed up a certain idea in his heart, and did not hold on to it. He is connected to his own memory.

After thinking for a moment, a rare sternness flashed in Du Ruo's eyes. To this day, he is really dissatisfied with the behavior of some elders who are presumptuous.

He always had a bad premonition that if he continued to indulge this time, he would definitely be thrown out some difficult mess to clean up next time.

In the future, when he establishes a relationship with Luo Jin again, he doesn't want to waste too much time on these miscellaneous things.

I didn't notice the change in my attitude towards Luo Jin at all, from giving up at the beginning to giving it a try, and now directly thinking about the future...

Du Ruo just calmed down, and the pleasant male voice sounded slowly:

"Let's talk about another 'deal', one that benefits your family."
