Measure the ruler, treat
Wang Yang smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, not saying much.
He re-closed the back door and returned to his driver's seat.
Not long after,
a white car passed by his, honking its horn.
Wang Yang could already see Huang Xiaoli through the car window and started his vehicle, following her directly.
About half an hour later,
the two cars stopped in a parking lot at the entrance of a residential area.
Wang Yang opened the door and got out, holding his measuring tools. He couldn't help but feel a little excited; after such a long time, he finally had an order that wasn't from Chen Mo.
Following the two women, he entered the residential area.
Not long after,
they arrived inside a Room.
"This is it," Ji Xiaohui said slowly, pointing to the empty Room.
"Okay! Then I'll start measuring. You can tell me about the layout requirements for the Room, for example, where to put a cabinet or where to place the dining table."
Wang Yang took out his measuring tools and began measuring as he spoke.
"Like this? I plan to put the dining table here, the living Room here. I don't want a TV, I plan to put a projector…"
"What about here?"
"I want to put a washing machine here. Do you think there's enough space?"
"Let me measure… Hmm, if you put a slightly smaller drum washing machine, there won't be any problem."
"That's good. I want to build a wardrobe here. How big do you think is suitable?"
"For the wardrobe, I think it can be built up to here. It'll be completely enough for you living alone, and you can also place a dressing table in this space."
"……."
The two walked around the Room, constantly discussing the renovation plan.
Huang Xiaoli followed for a couple of steps, then, seeing that she couldn't get a word in, she gave up and began to wander around the Room by herself.
She couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking to herself, it seems her worries were completely unnecessary.
She should have known not to come along. Looking at the way those two were chatting, it was as if they were discussing the renovation of their own home together.
She felt like a big light bulb here.
Time passed little by little,
about 20 minutes later,
Ji Xiaohui and Wang Yang walked out of the bedroom.
"Sister Li, the measurements are done. Let's go back. Thank you for your trouble today," Ji Xiaohui said, walking up to Huang Xiaoli to thank her.
She felt a little apologetic, as if she had ignored Sister Li during the measuring process.
"It's no trouble at all. If the measurements are done, then let's go back."
Huang Xiaoli smiled and nodded. She didn't mind much; it was indeed a convenient thing.
After all, her home wasn't far from here, only about a 10-minute walk.
"How about this, it's getting late, and you haven't had dinner yet, right? Let me treat you two to a meal."
Wang Yang tidied up his measuring tools and casually offered.
"How can that be? You've finished measuring, and now you want to treat us?" Ji Xiaohui quickly refused.
"My measuring is for making design drawings; it's my job and has nothing to do with treating you. I just want to simply treat you two to a meal."
Wang Yang shook his head and smiled, his gaze subtly falling on Ji Xiaohui.
"Sister Li!" Ji Xiaohui hesitated at his words, her gaze falling on Huang Xiaoli, as if seeking her opinion.
Huang Xiaoli looked at Ji Xiaohui, then at Wang Yang, who was pretending to be nonchalant, chuckled softly, and then said indifferently,
"I still have some things to deal with at home, so I won't be going to dinner today. You two go out and eat."
From her many years of experience,
these two most likely had feelings for each other, and she didn't want to be a third wheel again.
As for Wang Yang,
she had observed him a bit. He wasn't a bad person, but she didn't know what his character was like yet.
However, it wasn't a bad thing to let Ji Xiaohui get to know him.
Falling in love,
it's definitely something that needs to happen.
But tomorrow, she would remind Ji Xiaohui that it's okay to date, but not to give herself away too quickly.
At least they should get to know each other for a period of time and confirm that the other person's character and qualities are fine before making a decision.
"Sister Li, then we'll…" Ji Xiaohui said softly.
"Go! Go home after you eat. Don't stay out too late, and remember to call me when you get home," Huang Xiaoli couldn't help but instruct.
"I know, Sister Li. After dinner, I'll go straight home," Ji Xiaohui quickly nodded.
"Mm!" Huang Xiaoli nodded.
The three left the Room together.
When they arrived outside the residential area,
Huang Xiaoli drove away by herself. Ji Xiaohui had no choice but to get into the passenger seat of Wang Yang's car.
Once inside, she immediately buckled her seatbelt tightly, her hands gripping the edge of the seatbelt.
Wang Yang looked at Ji Xiaohui's nervous expression and shook his head helplessly.
He couldn't help but find it a little amusing.
…………………
Three days later.
Changbai Jingyuan,
Chen Mo looked at his packed luggage, confirmed that nothing was left out, and nodded slightly.
Knock, knock, knock!
The Room door was suddenly knocked.
Chen Mo heard the sound, got up, walked over, and opened the door.
"Mr. Chen, let Yang Dahai drive you back. It's too unsafe for you to go back alone," Dong Hong said, standing at the Room door with Yang Dahai.
"Chen gege, please let my dad drive you back. My dad is very good; he can drive for a long time," Yang Duoduo poked her small head out from behind.
"Hong Jie, not this time. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for reunion. You can have a good gathering at home too," Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, while also reaching out to pat Yang Duoduo's small head.
"What's there to reunite for? Our family, thanks to you, Mr. Chen, is basically reunited every day," Dong Hong tried her best to persuade him.
"Hong Jie, it's really not necessary. Actually, the journey isn't that far. If I feel tired, I can rest at a service area. It's settled; you two should go back as soon as possible," Chen Mo said quickly, his tone slightly more serious.
He had no problem driving back by himself. Last time, if he hadn't wanted to go to the capital, he wouldn't have let Yang Dahai come along.
"Mr. Chen, then… you must be careful," Dong Hong saw that Chen Mo's attitude was firm and finally stopped insisting that Yang Dahai drive him.
"I wish Chen gege a smooth journey and a safe return home," Yang Duoduo had already squeezed out from between Yang Dahai and Dong Hong's legs, tugging on Chen Mo's clothes corner, and said seriously.
"Then thank you for your blessings, Yang Duoduo," Chen Mo lowered his head and pinched Yang Duoduo's cute little face.
After speaking,
he went into the Room and brought out his packed luggage.
"Mr. Chen, let me help you," Yang Dahai saw Chen Mo holding the luggage and quickly reached out to take one of the bags. Although his back wasn't good, after a year of care, he had no problem carrying objects that weren't too heavy.
Soon, the group arrived at the underground parking garage.
After a flurry of activity, all the luggage was loaded into the car.
This time, he didn't choose to drive the black G-Wagon home. After all, his family only knew that he was working as a manager at a Clothing Factory, and driving a black G-Wagon would be too conspicuous.
Otherwise, he would have to explain everything when he got back. His plan was to wait until he had successfully settled a transaction or had a certain amount of personal assets before telling his family about this matter.
After all, if he said now that he was a CEO of a group but couldn't even produce a million yuan, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
So,
for now, it was still important to keep a low profile.
"Mr. Chen, take care."
"Chen gege, take care."
Yang Dahai was already waving at the departing vehicle.
Chen Mo drove out of the garage and then arrived at the entrance of the residential area, where a woman wearing sunglasses was waiting.
Seeing Chen Mo's commercial car approach, she directly pulled her rolling suitcase and walked towards it.
