hello miss jane
Chapter 37. The first day of flirting with Miss Jane
Gu Mingxi was at a loss as to why her fiancee seemed very unhappy.
Then she sent several messages to Jian Ran in one breath, but Jian Ran didn't reply.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Gu Mingxi called her assistant Lu Ming, who answered her call almost immediately: "Your Majesty, it's the weekend, why do you think of me?"
Gu Mingxi said: "Stop talking nonsense, help me book a ticket for tomorrow morning."
Lu Ming asked over there: "Air ticket? Where are you going, Your Majesty? Do you need to accompany me?"
Gu Mingxi said: "No need, I can go alone, you can book first, if there is no business class, just book one."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll show you right away." Lu Ming said immediately.
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "Well, go quickly, send me a message when you're done booking, and ask Lafayette to raise your salary later."
"Hey, I'll go! Thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Lu Ming shouted happily from the other end.
He is now accompanying his girlfriend to ride the Ferris wheel in the playground. When his girlfriend turned around, she suddenly found that he was gone. For a while, her delicate face flushed with anger: "Lu Ming, let me find you, you are dead." Already!"
After Lu Ming found a place with a good signal to book a plane ticket for Gu Mingxi, he quickly sent her a screenshot of the successful payment.
Gu Mingxi replied to him immediately: "Well, okay, you can go to the finance department to get reimbursed later."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Lu Ming said.
Gu Mingxi drove back to Gu's house, and she smelled of hot pot. After returning to Gu's house, Gu Rumei had already returned. Gu Mingqi was not there, so she went to take a shower first, and went back to her room to change her clothes.
Aunt Zhou took her changed clothes to the laundry room, and then brought her two oranges. Now is the season to eat small oranges. They are sweet and sour, and taste just right. Gu Mingxi likes oranges the most.
Aunt Zhou said gossipingly: "Miss, I heard from Mr. Gu that you are talking about your girlfriend?"
Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "That's right, but the horoscope hasn't been written yet."
"Then you have to work hard." Aunt Zhou was very anxious about Gu Mingxi's marriage. She said, "My youngest son's children will run around all over the place. Missy needs to work harder."
Gu Mingxi swallowed the remaining three oranges in one gulp: "Okay, I will work hard! Fight to have a baby!"
Aunt Zhou nodded to her solemnly: "That's right, that's right, that's right."
After Aunt Zhou left, Gu Mingxi took out the information about the trip to the capital that Gu Rumei gave her when she left the company.
Most of them are Ms. Alison's information. This is a very legendary figure. She used to be a working girl from the English countryside. Later, she met her lover when she was working in a shoe factory. Factory manager.
Later, the factory closed down due to the economic downturn, and her lover died of illness. She was alone and resolutely took over the small factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy.To everyone's surprise, in just half a year, the factory's profit directly doubled by ten times.
Not only did she turn the factory into a profit, she even started recruiting designers to design her own fashion brand, and has developed to this day, occupying a place in the British fashion industry. Today, Alison's identity has transformed into the most outstanding investor in the UK One, despite her advanced age, she still won the respect of the British business community with her outstanding eyesight.
Gu Mingxi was a little surprised when she saw Ms. Alison's resume, and thought to herself, what an outstanding woman this is, she really wanted to meet her.
The plane departed at [-] o'clock in the morning the next day, and it took a total of one and a half hours to fly from city A to the capital. Gu's appointment with Mrs. Alison was at [-] o'clock in the evening, and Lu Ming booked a hotel for her to rest. But she didn't intend to stay in the hotel.
Lin Shaozi once told her that there is the largest antique market in Beijing, where you can buy all kinds of rare treasures. Of course, if you are lucky, if you are not lucky, you are likely to buy The ones are fake.
Gu Mingxi is not a person who studies antiques, but she has always liked ancient things, perhaps influenced by costume dramas,
She was particularly interested in these things, and when she heard about such a good place, she naturally couldn't miss it.
I went to the hotel to put away my luggage and looked at my watch. The pointer had already pointed to eleven o'clock.
Wenwan Market is nearby, and it only takes 10 minutes for her to walk there.
Let's eat something first, Gu Mingxi thought.
Out of the hotel is KFC, and there is a big poster on the glass door and window, which says, original chicken today's price: 2.5
Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "Wow, so grand?"
Gu Mingxi stuffed a piece of mint candy from the front desk of the hotel into her mouth, pushed open the glass door of KFC, and walked in.
When the little cashier girl saw her coming in, she immediately asked with a smile, "Hi, what do you need?"
Gu Mingxi took out the coupon she received on WeChat just now, and said, "Oh, I want this, the cheapest one."
The service quality of the girl at the cash register is quite excellent. Even though she saw that she was wearing clothes worth more than [-] yuan and came in just to buy a piece of original chicken that was on sale, she still looked as usual and said, "Good lady, you spend a total of two Five cents."
Gu Mingxi asked: "Excuse me, can I buy ten yuan?"
Cashier: "..."
After being speechless for a moment, she returned to smiling, and answered Gu Mingxi's question seriously: "I'm sorry, miss, I can only buy one copy."
Gu Mingxi said disappointedly: "Then the McDonald's next door can buy ten discounted wings, but you can't, it's okay, woo woo woo, you can eat as much as you want."
The cashier lady asked, "Do you need anything else?"
"No more," Gu Mingxi said, "Oh, by the way, remember that I want chicken breasts for plain chicken, and pick the biggest piece for me."
The cashier lady: "...Okay, no problem, please wait a moment to pick up the meal."
Gu Mingxi took the receipt for picking up the meal and went to the next door to pick up the meal. The little brother who was in charge of catering picked the biggest piece for her, and said to her with a very good attitude: "Today, there is a [-]% discount on the leg burger. Miss think about it." ?"
Gu Mingxi said very honestly: "No, chicken leg burger is fried fast food, eating too much is harmful to your health."
The little brother suddenly said: "..."
Then what kind of plain chicken do you eat?You are too expensive, right?
It seems that the richer you are, the more stingy you are. Then, the little brother took out his mobile phone and sent a circle of friends.
[Life is so difficult that even local tyrants are trying to save money.Are you scared? ]
After a while, he received a reply from the restaurant manager: [Come to the office and let you know what is really difficult. ]
The little brother wants to cry but has no tears.
Gu Mingxi took the packaged plain chicken and walked out of KFC.All the way to the antique trading market, different from other traffic-jammed streets, this street is full of people, stalls are parked on both sides of the road, Gu Mingxi walks in the crowd, ears are everywhere It was the voice of bargaining.
Suddenly, a small stall attracted her attention.
The boss was holding a green cup and yelling: "Antique jade cups handed down from the Song Dynasty, everyone, take a look, it's sold at a low price."
The boss was a middle-aged man, wearing a shabby military overcoat, a velvet hat on his head, two mustaches on his mouth, and small eyes, a bit like a mouse.
Many people gathered around his stall and made fun of him: "Hey, you said this cup is from the Song Dynasty, you are lying, there are glass cups in the Song Dynasty?"
"I said boss, even if you want to deceive people, you can't cheat like this. You should at least smear some mud on the cup, and then say it was just unearthed."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.
The boss was furious: "Ah bah! This is not from the Song Dynasty, I will not, it makes you confused, this is not glass, this is jade! It's just because the color is so good and the polishing is so good that it looks like glass! Don’t read it if you don’t know the goods, just walk away!”
"Tch, what's the big deal, isn't it just a broken glass..."
"That's right, if you find out you're selling counterfeit goods, you'll be furious. How much do you think this cup is worth? Three thousand? Pooh
, can you pay three thousand for an antique jade cup? "
Gu Mingxi also squeezed into the crowd to watch the fun, only to see that the cup in the owner's hand was illuminated by the sun, and there was a faint light green light shining out.
Gu Mingxi rubbed her eyes, thinking she was wrong.
At the same time, the boss also noticed her and asked: "Little girl, do you want this cup? I'll give you a [-]% discount, two thousand four, how about selling it to you?"
Gu Mingxi shook her head: "No, no, no, I refuse, I just look around and don't buy anything."
The boss looked at the plain chicken in her hand, and swallowed the smell of the meat: "Then see if this will work, one thousand, you give me the food in your hand, and I will sell this cup to you for one thousand." you."
Now, Gu Mingxi hesitated.
Buying a beautiful cup for 1000 yuan is actually not too bad...
The boss hesitated when he saw her, and said directly: "Eight hundred! It can't be lower!"
"Deal!" Gu Mingxi immediately handed the original chicken to the boss, then took out her mobile phone and asked, "How do I pay you? Is there a QR code?"
The man shook his head: "No, but there is a bank next to it, you can go to get the cash first, and then bring the cash to me."
Gu Mingxi could only say: "Okay, then wait for me to come back."
The boss smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Gu Mingxi went to the bank to withdraw money, and when she came back, the pedestrians watching the excitement in front of the boss's stall had dispersed, and it was empty.
Gu Mingxi handed the cash to the boss. The boss spit and twisted it. There were eight hundred-yuan bills, one of which was not much, and one of which was not. He handed the green cup in his hand to Gu Mingxi, and said, "Little girl! , this cup will bring you good luck."
Gu Mingxi took the cup and felt warm from the tentacles. It really seemed like that, but she didn't expect the thing she bought for 800 yuan in the antique market to be real. At most, it was because of it. The color is better, and it is fine to put it at home as a handicraft.
"Thank you."
After Gu Mingxi finished speaking, she turned to look at the books on the stalls.
The books on the stall next door are sold by the catty. The types of books are very complicated. There are all kinds of novels, of course there are books on medical science such as Compendium of Materia Medica, and of course there are books on success studies. It costs 20 yuan per catty , pick whatever you want.
Gu Mingxi casually flipped through two books, then stood up, and looked in the direction of the small stall where she bought the cups just now, where there was the shadow of the boss.
She shrugged helplessly, she must have been cheated.
"Does the girl buy books?"
The book seller saw that she was standing in front of the stall and just read and didn't buy, which annoyed her a little.
His question already meant to chase someone away.
Gu Mingxi shook her head: "Don't buy it, it's too heavy."
boss:"……"
How should he answer this?
Gu Mingxi clapped her hands, and then wandered around from stall to stall.
After walking down a street for an hour, she gave the original chicken to the boss, so now she is hungry.
So I'm ready to find a restaurant to eat something.
Just a few steps out of the antique street, she suddenly saw an old lady lying on the street.
Good guy, there are so many people coming and going on the street, no one dares to go up and help him.
The old lady obviously just fell down. She was wearing a traditional floral jacket, her back was facing Gu Mingxi, she was clutching her legs, and bowed her waist in pain.
There were many people around the old lady, they were pointing and pointing, but no one dared to step forward to help her up.
A girl who looked like a primary school student was holding on to her trouser legs tightly. She was about to go forward, but was stopped by an elder beside her: "Don't go, there are so many liars now."
"But, mother..."
The elementary school student wanted to argue, but was stared back by her mother's eyes.
Gu Mingxi gave a wry smile. She walked through the crowd, trying to go to the middle of the crowd to help the old lady up.
Although she hasn't seen the old lady's face yet, she can feel that the old lady must be in pain now.
An old hand fell on the ground for so long
, it must be very uncomfortable.
She was about to go forward, but was stopped by the mother of the primary school student just now: "Little girl, don't go there, there are so many liars now, do you see that this is still a foreign liar!"
Gu Mingxi was startled, and looked at the old lady on the ground. Although she was wearing a traditional Chinese floral jacket, she turned out to be a foreign old man.
Gu Mingxi smiled: "Thank you, big sister, but I have a mine at home, so I am not afraid of being taken advantage of and being slaughtered. If you lose the most basic moral conscience of being a human being because you are afraid that the other party is a liar, then this society will be too sad."
After Gu Mingxi finished speaking, the crowd burst into applause.
The little girl's mother's face suddenly turned red and white, and she was extremely embarrassed. She didn't wait to see the follow-up, and she had already dragged the little girl away.
Gu Mingxi walked up to the old lady, squatted down, and asked in fluent English: "Where are you hurt? Can I help you up?"
To Gu Mingxi's surprise, the old lady replied to her in Chinese: "I'm fine, thank you, I need you to help me up."
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "You can speak Chinese, you are too good."
As she spoke, she stretched out one of her arms, let the old lady's hand press on her arm for strength, and hugged the old lady's waist with the other hand, and then pulled her up forcefully.
The moment the old lady stood up, the crowd burst into applause again.
"Girl, good job, you are a good boy!" An old man from the capital shouted in the crowd.
"That's right, the society now needs such good children who do good deeds. What was that woman just now, and how did she teach children?"
"Little girl, you are doing well!"
Faced with everyone's approval, Gu Mingxi just nodded slightly, and then asked the foreign old lady: "Grandma, are your feet okay? Do you want to take you to the hospital?"
"It's okay, the injury is not serious, don't go to the hospital, it will be fine in a while." The old lady replied.
"Then I'll take you back. Where do you live?" Gu Mingxi asked.
The foreign old lady replied: "I live in the Cloud Hotel. I was out for a walk just now, and I tripped over a small stone on the ground. I really lifted the stone and shot myself in the foot."
Gu Mingxi let out a 'poof' laugh, and explained: "Lifting a rock to shoot one's own foot is not for this purpose, lifting a rock to shoot one's own foot is self-inflicted, you used it wrong."
"Really? I just started to learn Chinese culture, and many of them are not very clear." The old lady was a little annoyed: "Many of the masters who taught me Chinese didn't understand, and they told me nonsense."
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "You can speak Chinese dialect very well. My English is so-so and I always find it difficult to learn a foreign language, but you are very good and worthy of admiration."
The foreign old lady became happy because of Gu Mingxi's words: "Really? Then can I make friends with you, and I can ask you for advice on idioms that I don't understand in the future."
Gu Mingxi immediately said: "You are welcome, but I am also so-so, and we can discuss with each other."
Gu Mingxi and this old lady from a foreign country had a very speculative conversation. They talked for more than an hour on a bench in a small park nearby. The culture of Huaguo is extensive and profound. Gu Mingxi casually told a few famous allusions , the old lady listened with gusto, and the two of them became friends and even exchanged contact information.
Gu Mingxi sent the old lady to the door of Yunyun Hotel, and immediately two foreign men in suits greeted her: "Ma'am, where have you been? We are very worried."
The old lady said, "I'm safe, don't worry about me."
The man said: "Someone came to visit you, I said you were not there, and let her go back."
The old lady looked indifferent: "Isn't the agreed time at night? How impatient to arrive so early, and this time it is a fair competition between several companies, so the early arrival obviously has impure motives."
After the old lady finished speaking, she remembered that Gu Mingxi was still on the side, and said with a smile: "Gu, thank you for sending me back, and I like the story you told me very much, you must come to see me again when you have time, Tell me the wonderful stories of Huaguo."
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "No problem, as long as you need it, I will tell you a hundred times anytime and anywhere."
The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Gu Mingxi nodded: "Well, it's a deal."
"It's a deal? Is this also a new idiom in Huaguo? Interesting, very interesting." The old lady said in surprise.
Gu Mingxi said: "Yes, a promise means keeping a promise."
"Now I understand, keep your promise, keep your word, keep your promise..."
The two smiled at each other.
After Gu Mingxi broke up with the old lady, she turned on her mobile phone navigation, thinking that the Yunyun Hotel was not far from the hotel where she was staying, so she simply walked back.
Who knew that she saw He Tong on the road, holding a scroll in her hand, followed by her assistant, looking at Gu Mingxi with a sneer on her face.
Gu Mingxi didn't understand why, she originally didn't want to have any contact with this person, after all, she was Jian Ran's ex, and she...
Anyway, it can be regarded as Jian Ran's incumbent, so there will be embarrassment for each other.
Who knew that He Tong would come straight to her, and said with a sneer, "Gu Mingxi, I didn't expect you to find Alison's address. I used to underestimate you, didn't I?"
Gu Mingxi: "..."
Then she sent several messages to Jian Ran in one breath, but Jian Ran didn't reply.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Gu Mingxi called her assistant Lu Ming, who answered her call almost immediately: "Your Majesty, it's the weekend, why do you think of me?"
Gu Mingxi said: "Stop talking nonsense, help me book a ticket for tomorrow morning."
Lu Ming asked over there: "Air ticket? Where are you going, Your Majesty? Do you need to accompany me?"
Gu Mingxi said: "No need, I can go alone, you can book first, if there is no business class, just book one."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll show you right away." Lu Ming said immediately.
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "Well, go quickly, send me a message when you're done booking, and ask Lafayette to raise your salary later."
"Hey, I'll go! Thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Lu Ming shouted happily from the other end.
He is now accompanying his girlfriend to ride the Ferris wheel in the playground. When his girlfriend turned around, she suddenly found that he was gone. For a while, her delicate face flushed with anger: "Lu Ming, let me find you, you are dead." Already!"
After Lu Ming found a place with a good signal to book a plane ticket for Gu Mingxi, he quickly sent her a screenshot of the successful payment.
Gu Mingxi replied to him immediately: "Well, okay, you can go to the finance department to get reimbursed later."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Lu Ming said.
Gu Mingxi drove back to Gu's house, and she smelled of hot pot. After returning to Gu's house, Gu Rumei had already returned. Gu Mingqi was not there, so she went to take a shower first, and went back to her room to change her clothes.
Aunt Zhou took her changed clothes to the laundry room, and then brought her two oranges. Now is the season to eat small oranges. They are sweet and sour, and taste just right. Gu Mingxi likes oranges the most.
Aunt Zhou said gossipingly: "Miss, I heard from Mr. Gu that you are talking about your girlfriend?"

Gu Mingxi swallowed the remaining three oranges in one gulp: "Okay, I will work hard! Fight to have a baby!"
Aunt Zhou nodded to her solemnly: "That's right, that's right, that's right."
After Aunt Zhou left, Gu Mingxi took out the information about the trip to the capital that Gu Rumei gave her when she left the company.

Gu Mingxi casually flipped through two books, then stood up, and looked in the direction of the small stall where she bought the cups just now, where there was the shadow of the boss.
She shrugged helplessly, she must have been cheated.
"Does the girl buy books?"
The book seller saw that she was standing in front of the stall and just read and didn't buy, which annoyed her a little.
His question already meant to chase someone away.
Gu Mingxi shook her head: "Don't buy it, it's too heavy."

Gu Mingxi clapped her hands, and then wandered around from stall to stall.
After walking down a street for an hour, she gave the original chicken to the boss, so now she is hungry.
So I'm ready to find a restaurant to eat something.
Just a few steps out of the antique street, she suddenly saw an old lady lying on the street.
Good guy, there are so many people coming and going on the street, no one dares to go up and help him.
The old lady obviously just fell down. She was wearing a traditional floral jacket, her back was facing Gu Mingxi, she was clutching her legs, and bowed her waist in pain.
There were many people around the old lady, they were pointing and pointing, but no one dared to step forward to help her up.
A girl who looked like a primary school student was holding on to her trouser legs tightly. She was about to go forward, but was stopped by an elder beside her: "Don't go, there are so many liars now."
"But, mother..."
The elementary school student wanted to argue, but was stared back by her mother's eyes.
Gu Mingxi gave a wry smile. She walked through the crowd, trying to go to the middle of the crowd to help the old lady up.
Although she hasn't seen the old lady's face yet, she can feel that the old lady must be in pain now.
An old hand fell on the ground for so long
, it must be very uncomfortable.
She was about to go forward, but was stopped by the mother of the primary school student just now: "Little girl, don't go there, there are so many liars now, do you see that this is still a foreign liar!"
Gu Mingxi was startled, and looked at the old lady on the ground. Although she was wearing a traditional Chinese floral jacket, she turned out to be a foreign old man.
Gu Mingxi smiled: "Thank you, big sister, but I have a mine at home, so I am not afraid of being taken advantage of and being slaughtered. If you lose the most basic moral conscience of being a human being because you are afraid that the other party is a liar, then this society will be too sad."
After Gu Mingxi finished speaking, the crowd burst into applause.
The little girl's mother's face suddenly turned red and white, and she was extremely embarrassed. She didn't wait to see the follow-up, and she had already dragged the little girl away.
Gu Mingxi walked up to the old lady, squatted down, and asked in fluent English: "Where are you hurt? Can I help you up?"
To Gu Mingxi's surprise, the old lady replied to her in Chinese: "I'm fine, thank you, I need you to help me up."
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "You can speak Chinese, you are too good."
As she spoke, she stretched out one of her arms, let the old lady's hand press on her arm for strength, and hugged the old lady's waist with the other hand, and then pulled her up forcefully.
The moment the old lady stood up, the crowd burst into applause again.
"Girl, good job, you are a good boy!" An old man from the capital shouted in the crowd.
"That's right, the society now needs such good children who do good deeds. What was that woman just now, and how did she teach children?"
"Little girl, you are doing well!"
Faced with everyone's approval, Gu Mingxi just nodded slightly, and then asked the foreign old lady: "Grandma, are your feet okay? Do you want to take you to the hospital?"
"It's okay, the injury is not serious, don't go to the hospital, it will be fine in a while." The old lady replied.
"Then I'll take you back. Where do you live?" Gu Mingxi asked.
The foreign old lady replied: "I live in the Cloud Hotel. I was out for a walk just now, and I tripped over a small stone on the ground. I really lifted the stone and shot myself in the foot."
Gu Mingxi let out a 'poof' laugh, and explained: "Lifting a rock to shoot one's own foot is not for this purpose, lifting a rock to shoot one's own foot is self-inflicted, you used it wrong."
"Really? I just started to learn Chinese culture, and many of them are not very clear." The old lady was a little annoyed: "Many of the masters who taught me Chinese didn't understand, and they told me nonsense."
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "You can speak Chinese dialect very well. My English is so-so and I always find it difficult to learn a foreign language, but you are very good and worthy of admiration."
The foreign old lady became happy because of Gu Mingxi's words: "Really? Then can I make friends with you, and I can ask you for advice on idioms that I don't understand in the future."
Gu Mingxi immediately said: "You are welcome, but I am also so-so, and we can discuss with each other."
Gu Mingxi and this old lady from a foreign country had a very speculative conversation. They talked for more than an hour on a bench in a small park nearby. The culture of Huaguo is extensive and profound. Gu Mingxi casually told a few famous allusions , the old lady listened with gusto, and the two of them became friends and even exchanged contact information.
Gu Mingxi sent the old lady to the door of Yunyun Hotel, and immediately two foreign men in suits greeted her: "Ma'am, where have you been? We are very worried."
The old lady said, "I'm safe, don't worry about me."
The man said: "Someone came to visit you, I said you were not there, and let her go back."
The old lady looked indifferent: "Isn't the agreed time at night? How impatient to arrive so early, and this time it is a fair competition between several companies, so the early arrival obviously has impure motives."
After the old lady finished speaking, she remembered that Gu Mingxi was still on the side, and said with a smile: "Gu, thank you for sending me back, and I like the story you told me very much, you must come to see me again when you have time, Tell me the wonderful stories of Huaguo."
Gu Mingxi smiled and said: "No problem, as long as you need it, I will tell you a hundred times anytime and anywhere."
The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Gu Mingxi nodded: "Well, it's a deal."
"It's a deal? Is this also a new idiom in Huaguo? Interesting, very interesting." The old lady said in surprise.
Gu Mingxi said: "Yes, a promise means keeping a promise."
"Now I understand, keep your promise, keep your word, keep your promise..."
The two smiled at each other.
After Gu Mingxi broke up with the old lady, she turned on her mobile phone navigation, thinking that the Yunyun Hotel was not far from the hotel where she was staying, so she simply walked back.
Who knew that she saw He Tong on the road, holding a scroll in her hand, followed by her assistant, looking at Gu Mingxi with a sneer on her face.
Gu Mingxi didn't understand why, she originally didn't want to have any contact with this person, after all, she was Jian Ran's ex, and she...
Anyway, it can be regarded as Jian Ran's incumbent, so there will be embarrassment for each other.
Who knew that He Tong would come straight to her, and said with a sneer, "Gu Mingxi, I didn't expect you to find Alison's address. I used to underestimate you, didn't I?"
Gu Mingxi: "..."
