Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

This habit seems to have started among overseas students as early as the Republic of China period. Today, many people in China have also fallen in love with the trend of tasting coffee.

Since cafes are often frequented by expatriates, this also gives people a high-end and classy impression.

For example, a place like a cafe, which has a certain petty-bourgeois character, actually fits Yang Xue's image very well.

After all, he is an important leader of the Yang Group, and he also has experience studying abroad and just returned to China recently.

Therefore, it is understandable that she is fond of some imported customs.

Coffee did not have any particular appeal to Su Chen. He was not used to the slightly bitter taste. In comparison, Su Chen preferred to savor the fragrance of Chinese tea.

But this time, in order to accompany Yang Xue in studying, it was also quite nice to spend time in a cafe.

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen agreed: "Sure, tell me the address and I can take you there."

Since we are going to a gathering place in a cafe, we cannot rely entirely on walking.

Su Chen planned to contact the driver in the factory to drive the goods to the cafe, which was not considered a misuse of public resources. Maintaining a good relationship with Yang Xue would also make her more actively involved in the business of the steel rolling mill.

"In the block inside Xi'an Gate."

After hearing Yang Xue explain the location, Su Chen immediately ordered the driver to take them there.

This place is a prosperous business district, so opening a store there can effectively increase customer flow.

Soon after Su Chen and Yang Xue got in the car, Yang Xue seemed to ask for the purpose of testing,

"Mr. Su, have you ever studied abroad in the Camel Country?"

Seeing that Su Chen, despite his young age, could speak the Camel Country dialect fluently, she inferred that he probably acquired the ability to speak this language while abroad.

Although Yang Xue could easily use her family connections to learn all about Su Chen, she would rather rely on her own abilities to understand him.

Su Chen just shook his head gently and answered her, "I have never studied abroad. I just learned some language knowledge purely out of interest."

Su Chen couldn't say **, so he could only choose ambiguous words to cover up the past.

"Mr. Su's talent for languages ​​is truly extraordinary."

Whether she believed it or not, Yang Xue at least stared at Su Chen with admiration.

An entrepreneur with huge wealth staring at him with such admiration gave Su Chen a great sense of vanity and satisfaction.

Yang Xue wanted to get closer to Su Chen, so she would definitely pay attention to what kind of women he was attracted to.

So she tried using different methods to attract Su Chen's attention.

However, Su Chen did not realize the intention behind these small actions. Instead, he was wondering at what stage Yang Xue's plan to purchase steel products had reached.

The two people didn't talk for long in the car, and soon the car arrived at its destination.

Unlike letting Su Chen park the car directly at the door, the two chose to get out of the car and slowly walk along the roadside towards the coffee shop.

Walking on the bustling, busy and vibrant streets of Xi'an, Su Chen couldn't help but think of the future when he saw the passers-by rushing past. No matter what time and space environment, people's busy figures always constitute the mainstream melody of their lives.

Yang Xue took the opportunity of taking a walk to secretly look at Su Chen. Seeing that he was much taller than her, she couldn't help but be surprised at Su Chen's tall stature.

The two came to the cafe, and as soon as Su Chen pushed open the door, he heard the melodious sound of wind chimes echoing in his ears.

"welcome."

After entering the door, I found that the decoration style was quite similar to that of a church.

Although Suchen had never been to a church to attend a service, he was somewhat fascinated by such decoration.

"This cafe is said to be converted from a church. It's quite unique. I wonder if you mind."

Yang Xue smiled at Su Chen somewhat embarrassedly.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and sat by the window.

"What's the problem? Please sit down and let's talk about learning foreign languages."

Su Chen took the initiative to control the rhythm of the conversation, and Yang Xue let him lead the conversation.

The waiter came over with the menu, "Would you like anything to drink?"

After observing the layout of the store, he found that this was a cafe run by **. Su Chen noticed that most of the customers were foreign friends, and only a very small number of young trendy men and beautiful women were chatting.

Compared with other people in the cafe, Su Chen's clothes were obviously much simpler.

Because he didn't think about buying new clothes, he has been wearing his old clothes recently.

The worker is practical, so his outfit stands out in the cafe.

However, other people in the store did not look down on him because of his entry. They just glanced at him and then looked away.

"Give me a cappuccino, please."

Yang Xue placed the order quickly.

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any boiled water? I just want a glass of warm water."

In fact, he was not really used to the bitter taste, and he did not intend to please others by following other people's taste.

"Okay, one cappuccino, one water, please wait a moment."

Seeing this, Yang Xue couldn't help but wonder, and after the waiter left, she asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Su doesn't like the taste of coffee?"

"I don't dislike it, I just can't get used to the taste."

He shook his head in response.

"I thought Mr. Su was the kind of person who relied on coffee to stay awake."

Su Chen couldn't help laughing after hearing this and asked, "Why do you have such an impression, Ms. Yang?"

"Because you give people the impression of being particularly calm, focused and confident, and people with this trait tend to love coffee."

"Just take it as a compliment."

Su Chen chuckled and replied.

"But in fact, I am just an ordinary technical employee, and now I have become the head of the steel plant."

“Don’t look down on yourself like that, Mr. Su.

There aren't many people as outstanding as you.

Would it make your lover unhappy if I invited you and me to have a cup of coffee alone?"

After chatting for a few sentences, Yang Xue recounted a topic that she cared about most.

They got along very well during the chat and had long forgotten about learning foreign languages; instead, Yang Xue was inexplicably concerned about his marital status.

She was embarrassed to ask directly whether he was married, so she could only ask in a roundabout way.

After hearing this, Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile.

"I am not married yet, nor am I in a relationship. Not long ago, I was an ordinary worker, working hard for my livelihood. Now as a factory director, I have to consider the future of thousands of employees, so I am not in the mood to think about personal matters at the moment."

Su Chen sighed, shook his head and said, where can he find a wife? He is so busy with so many things in the factory right now, let alone going on a blind date.

As for Banggeng and the others in the courtyard, these kids of similar age always seem to talk about girls.

Only Su Chen was not interested in such small talk. He was completely focused on expanding his wealth and building the business empire in his mind.

Hearing this, Yang Xue opened her eyes wide in surprise: "This is simply unbelievable! I didn't expect that a man as outstanding as you is still single."

Joy quietly crept up her cheeks. If Su Chen didn't have a girlfriend, then maybe she would have a chance to get close to him?

Su Chen waved his hand again and said, “Now I still live in a courtyard house, and even if I want to start a family, it will be a difficult matter.

But the fact is that I have been thinking about moving out of that place for some time, but I haven’t found a suitable place to live yet.”

Ever since Su Chen accidentally witnessed the absurd behavior of the second uncle's family, his determination to move became more and more determined.

He now has more and more affairs in the factory, and every time he goes back to the courtyard, he has to deal with a group of unreasonable people. It is really a headache. It would be better to move out as soon as possible to completely get rid of this trouble.

After hearing this, Yang Xue rolled her eyes and quickly came up with an idea: "It just so happens that we have a property in Beijing that we can sell to you."

“The housing price is a lot of money.”

“It may be difficult for ordinary people, but for you, the director of a large factory, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Since we all know each other, I'll sell it to you for a little over a thousand dollars."

As she spoke, she smiled and winked at Su Chen.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but be surprised. This price was far lower than he had imagined. Not counting the wages accumulated from the factory in the past, with the current money rewarded by the system, ten houses were more than enough for him.

Although he was tempted, he remained rational: "If it is convenient for you to take me to visit, I want to see the house."

.

Even for such a small fee, you should still look at it before making a decision.

He wanted to handle things step by step.

Yang Xue responded quickly: "Okay, is tomorrow convenient? If possible, how about I take you to check out the house?"

If this transaction goes through, not only can I sell the house but I can also become his neighbor, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, the look on the girl's face became even more cheerful.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Su Chen agreed to the meeting.

At this time, a waiter holding coffee came in and handed them a cappuccino and a glass of water.

The waiter turned and left, and Yang Xue, who was about to continue the conversation, was interrupted.

"Ms. Yang, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have regarding Camel Mandarin translation. I will do my best to help you."

Yang Xue then remembered that she had not come to Su Chen to taste coffee this time, but to ask for foreign language knowledge, so she quickly asked him her questions.

By the time all the language problems were resolved, they had already spent a long time in the cafe.

Looking at the clock, they found it was already very late, so Yang Xue and Su Chen left the place one after another.

Yang Xue walked in front, and Su Chen followed behind her, and the two maintained a front-and-back order.

Even while walking forward, Yang Xue turned around and chatted with Su Chen who was following behind.

"We agreed to meet at 8am tomorrow...ah!"

Before she could finish her words, her foot went weak and she accidentally sprained her ankle while walking down the stairs.

As she was talking while looking back, she was walking and her high heels got stuck in the gaps on the ground.

Faced with the sudden situation, Su Chen immediately grabbed her arm to prevent Yang Xue from falling.

"Were you hurt?"

he inquired eagerly.

"It's okay...but I feel like I can't move forward."

Yang Xue tried her best to adjust her expression, but her fragile ankle quickly swelled up like a big steamed bun.

Seeing this, Su Chen immediately bent down and said:

"Come up, I'll take you to a medical facility for treatment."

The crisp sound of her footsteps made him worry whether she had a broken ankle.

At this moment, although a little shyness surged in her heart, Yang Xue had to crawl onto Su Chen's back because she was unable to walk.

Su Chen stopped a vehicle on the road, helped Yang Xue get in and out, and rushed all the way to the clinic to queue up for medical treatment.

Yang Xue had never felt so safe as she did now, sticking close to him.

The man looked a little thin, but the strong and muscular body on his back made her feel warm in her heart.

At this moment, Yang Xue's face turned slightly red.

Before, no one, not even her busy entrepreneur father, had ever carried Yang Xue on his back like this so often; because her family's business was vast and her father was very busy with official duties, he had very little time to accompany her; therefore, for this woman, this was the first time she had such a close contact experience with a man she had never met before.

Now, facing the man who carried her on his back without hesitation, coupled with his broad and solid shoulders, Yang Xue felt completely at ease.

The mood at this moment made Yang Xue pay more attention to Su Chen in front of her, and she couldn't help but care more about this man.

After taking Yang Xue to the emergency room and putting her down, the doctor carefully examined her ankle and said:

“It’s not a serious condition, just a sprained ankle and muscle damage.

Give her some cold compresses for a while and she'll be back to normal soon."

"Completing the cold compress procedure and then applying these products will speed up the healing process."

The doctor gave a few instructions while writing the prescription, and then handed the drug receipt to Su Chen.

"Please go out to pay and pick up your medicine, and prepare to see the next patient."

Su Chen nodded gratefully:

"Thank you, doctor."

Next, Su Chen carried Yang Xue on his back to a nearby waiting bench and rested for a while, then rushed to the cashier area to pay the medical bills and get the medicine from the medicine cabinet; he carried Yang Xue on his back again and began to ask for her address.

"Can you tell me where you live now? I will escort you back home. You are not in a good condition to go home on your own."

She could only reveal her current residence and the corresponding detailed address to the other party.

So Su Chen drove her home, took out the key from Yang Xue's bag and successfully opened the door lock.

Stepping into the room, Su Chen gently placed Yang Xue on the sofa.

Yang Xue’s residence is not what Su Chen expected. It is more like a hotel and lacks the warmth of home.

It seems that Yang Xue has not lived here for long.

In order to help Yang Xue relieve her discomfort, Su Chen found some ice cubes in the refrigerator and planned to give her a cold compress.

"Mr. Su, I'm really sorry to bother you. Let me do it myself."

"You have difficulty moving, I will help you apply it."

Su Chen carefully wrapped the ice in a towel, then asked Yang Xue to take off her high heels and placed her feet on his knees.

Even though her feet were injured and swollen, they still looked graceful and slender.

This made Su Chen couldn't help but admire in his heart: It is really as flawless as white jade.

Her feet had a light fragrance, nothing like the usual foot odor.

Despite his inner feelings, Su Chen remained calm and applied ice to her.

“The doctor said to apply the ointment the next day after the cold compress, and I have already placed the medicine on the table.

You should be able to handle it yourself in the morning."

With his mind slightly disturbed, Su Chen applied cold compress for about ten minutes. He found that the swelling on Yang Xue's ankle had subsided a lot, so he got up, said goodbye and went home.

Although she was reluctant to leave, she did not stay longer out of politeness. Yang Xue silently watched Su Chen's departing back, but ultimately failed to stop him.

When Su Chen left Yang Xue's house and returned to the courtyard, as soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Sha Zhu standing there.

This muscular man was still as unrestrained as ever, and it was obvious that recent experiences had not dulled his edges.

This stage actually lasted seven days.

On the other hand, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong are still detained in the police station and seem to be about to be transferred to the detention center.

The two of them could not see each other again for a while.

The return of Sha Zhu is bound to cause another stir.

However, Su Chen was not in a good mood at the moment and did not want to have any entanglement with him.

"Get rid of bad luck. Don't avoid it. Let these pomelo leaves gently tap you a few times. Then you won't be prone to bad luck in the future."

Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him, stroked Shazhu with a pomelo leaf while talking. She believed that this could remove his bad luck.

In order to make Sha Zhu's future smoother, she hurriedly bought pomelo leaves after receiving the news that Sha Zhu was released from prison.

When he saw that he was finally free, Sha Zhu immediately started bragging to Qin Huairu.

“I said the detention center was no big deal, I was the most popular there, even the best seats were reserved for me.

Besides, I eat first.”
