A foreign city, dear you

"Don't be nervous," Cao Xueqian said, "I also told him that we don't have that much money."

"Then how much do you agree to lend him?" Ye Lian asked.

"I haven't agreed yet," Cao Xueqian said, "I said I want to discuss it with you."

"Then what are your plans?" Ye Lian asked again. Based on her understanding of Cao Xueqian, Cao Xueqian would definitely borrow it.

"Can I borrow 30,000 yuan?" Cao Xueqian discussed.

"Thirty thousand?" Ye Lian was still surprised: "We just saved such a small amount of money, and you lent it all out?"

"It's not easy to ask someone. If you can't borrow 50,000, you have to borrow 30,000, right? If you borrow too little, you feel like you can't borrow it." Cao Xueqian paused and continued: "Besides, didn't I just say that? He has intentions after all. Helped me."

"You have a good heart," Ye Lian pouted to express her dissatisfaction: "You think of others in everything."

"Oh, what a good wife." Cao Xueqian hugged Ye Lian to his chest flatteringly and said, "Everyone has troubles. When we bought this house, didn't we also borrow money from many people?"

Cao Xueqian's words left Ye Lian speechless.

Yes, when I bought a house, I also relied on the help of Cao Xueqian's friends.

Seeing that Ye Lian was silent, Cao Xueqian knew that she was beginning to be persuaded by him, so he struck while the iron was hot: "You can continue to make money if you lend the money. Besides, he will pay it back when he has money. Money is important, but so is friendship."

"Okay then." Ye Lian finally relented.

"Thank you, wife, for understanding." Cao Xueqian happily kissed Ye Lian on the forehead.

However, Ye Lian agreed, but she was still very reluctant to part with it.

Alas, I am a miser. I finally have a little money in my hand, so I like to keep it myself and don't want to borrow it. I am not as generous as Cao Xueqian at all.

Are men inherently more generous than women?

Or are you just being extra stingy?

Fortunately, Cao Xue Qianqian never disliked his stinginess and always patiently tried to convince himself bit by bit.

The two couples basically reached an agreement, and the conversation about borrowing money came to an end.

It was already very late, so the two of them started to wash up and prepare to rest.

The next day, Ye Lian went to the bank and transferred 30,000 yuan to Zhao Dongping's account. Their bank card balance became three digits again.

Cao Xueqian said that you can continue to earn money after borrowing it. Money is important and friendship is also very important.

I don’t know, when can I get some deposits on this bank card again?

I wonder, can Zhao Dongping feel this friendship from Cao Xueqian? When can he pay us back?

************************

The streets and alleys along the city are beginning to feel like the New Year again.

The red lanterns have begun to be hung up again, and New Year's goods have begun to be prepared in the shopping mall.

And many restaurants have begun to take over the business of Wei Ya Dining.

Yuho Hotel is no exception.

This is a relatively large high-end hotel.

The ground was covered with a red carpet.

The tables were covered with beautiful gold velvet cloth and filled with various fruits, snacks and various wines and drinks.

The whole hall looks very beautiful and atmospheric.

A large stage was temporarily set up at the back end of the hall.

The stage was beautifully decorated, with the words "Lijin Company Year-end Dinner" written on the background wall.

It turns out that the hall of Yuhe Hotel has been reserved by Lijin Company, and Lijin Company is going to hold a year-end party here.

Employees from Lijin Company are arriving one after another.

It's winter outside, but it's warm inside the hotel. Many people who entered the hotel took off their heavy coats, revealing exquisite light clothes.

Cheng Dianfei walked among the people entering the hotel.

She was no exception. As soon as she entered the hotel, she took off her long down jacket, revealing the skirt underneath.

There is no need to wear work clothes tonight. Cheng Dianfei is wearing a red woolen skirt with a loose round neck and a fringed skirt. The whole dress is very fit and stylish, making her look lively and beautiful.

Cheng Dianfei also specially styled her hair into a shawl, with a beautiful hairpin on the back of her head.

Lijin Company holds a year-end dinner every year, and Cheng Dianfei has been preparing for this dinner for a long time.

There are few female colleagues in the R&D department, but there are more female colleagues in the sales department, finance department, and administration department.

Wherever there are women, there is beauty.

At this annual company event, Cheng Dianfei certainly didn't want to be compared to other female colleagues.

Undoubtedly, Cheng Dianfei's appearance today made her look extremely beautiful. Whether it was a male or female colleague, they all cast admiring or jealous glances at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Cheng Dianfei could feel this kind of gaze, and she was naturally happy. But she herself is also searching for someone.

Where is he? Did he notice me?

Cheng Dianfei looked around calmly and did not see his shadow.

After a while, a burst of hearty laughter sounded outside the door.

It was him, the voice that made her miss her.

Cheng Dianfei's heart couldn't help but tremble.

But she didn't look back and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened. She just felt the laughter and the footsteps slowly approaching from far away.

She knew that Cao Xueqian was here.

Cao Xueqian entered the restaurant with several colleagues, chatting and laughing.

As soon as he entered the hotel, the warmth inside made him feel that the clothes on his body were thick and heavy.

He took off his woolen coat, revealing a crisp black suit underneath.

Tonight is the company's annual banquet. He had already told Ye Lian that he would not go home for dinner tonight.

The tables in the hall that were empty just now were slowly, one by one, almost filled with people.

Cao Xueqian walked straight forward. The seats of these department heads are arranged at the front, closest to the stage.

Cheng Dianfei had already pulled Guo Zi and sat on the aisle seat. She turned around pretending to be casual and saw Cao Xueqian walking towards her. She sat up straight, making herself look tall and elegant, making her neck appear slender, with a peach-like smile on her face.

He should see me, right? He should say hello to me, right?

He is coming, he is near.

Cao Xueqian passed by Cheng Dianfei and cast his eyes on the gorgeously decorated stage. He didn't notice Cheng Dianfei sitting there, let alone her eager eyes, and walked straight to the front.

Lost, boring!

Cheng Dianfei's straight back relaxed instantly. She withdrew her gaze gloomily and stared at the table blankly.

Really, you don’t even look at me.

Then what’s the point of me dressing so beautifully?

Do I really have no attraction in his eyes?

Cheng Dianfei was unhappy, and the snacks in front of her didn't interest her at all.

However, she was depressed again. After a while, her eyes were following his figure again; her ears were searching for his voice again.
