Time Traveling Little Wife

The men set their itinerary to Nanzhou, and Tian Xiaoan also began to prepare for the departure in half a month.

Because of the decision to keep the children at home, Tian Xiaoan felt guilty and reluctant, so he decided to spend more time with the children during this time, especially the twins who were about to be separated from their little daddy just after they were born. Tian Xiaoan invested 12 points of attention.

While the little lover was taking a lunch break with the sons, the men came to the study to discuss some matters.

"The twins' full moon banquet will not be held for the time being, and we will invite guests on the [-]th day. The domestic research and development products of Lingquan water can be officially put into the market. This matter will be handled by Da Zuo, and Xiao Zuo will be in charge of contacting Nanzhou. You just need to show up and sign a contract. As for the medicine..."

He Junhao looked at Yan Shuo and Wei Zhenting in front of him, hesitant to speak.

"It's better to let our Wei family do it. If the Wei family wants to gain a firmer grip on the real power in the army, they should grasp the most fundamental things. Especially for emergency medicine, let the research and development department set up a special laboratory for separate Develop a life-saving medicine for soldiers." Wei Zhenting put forward his own opinion.

"I've implemented this idea a long time ago. The separate laboratory is kept secret. I have given this piece to Grandpa Wei and Uncle Wei at the beginning of the experiment."

He Junhao revealed the truth calmly, but Wei Zhenting's face became ugly, and he couldn't help but annoyed: "He Junhao, what did you do without telling us, you spit it out to me verbatim! Sometimes the two of us ask three questions and don't know anything, and we will argue endlessly with you!"

Yan Shuo, who also had a dark face, glared at He Junhao angrily and complained: "Old He, you are not authentic! The development of Lingquan water is a joint cooperation project between the three of us, and both of them are indispensable! How dare you hide it from me and Lao Wei?" The establishment of a private laboratory, no matter how you explain this matter, you are wrong, even if you provide convenience to the Wei family, you will not hide it from us until now!"

Facing the accusations of these two guys, He Junhao frowned, and said helplessly, "This is what Grandpa Wei meant. The less people know about it, the better. Moreover, the life-saving medicine developed this time has almost extracted 80.00% of the effect of Lingquan water. If it appeared on the market or the enemy knew a little bit of the inside story, do you think we can sit here so easily? Also, what Grandpa Wei means is that he intends to take a large amount of pure spiritual spring water from An'an's space and give it to the special zone Soldiers in the army take it once to improve their physical fitness. Do you think I can easily reveal such an important secret?"

What He Junhao said made Wei Zhenting and Yan Shuo speechless. However, since He Junhao chose to speak out now, does it mean that these plans have been implemented safely?

Seeming to see the doubts of the two, He Junhao said: "I have given the Lingquan water to Uncle Wei a few days ago, and he will definitely have a way for all soldiers to take it within half an hour. An'an also knows about this, although we can also use it in space. You can access items at will, but the pure spiritual spring water can only be taken out by An'an himself."

After hearing this, Wei Zhenting was satisfied: "Since this is better, grandpa and my dad are in control of the emergency medicine, so we can relax."

On the contrary, Yan Shuo, who was deep in thought, frowned for a while and said nothing. Then, he looked at He Junhao and said hesitantly: "The domestic market is no better than Nanzhou, what price do you plan to sell these products at? You don't have to worry about marketing planning and advertising recommendations, Yan The company will make preparations in the early stage. But I am not sure how to set the price. If it is low, a situation of low price saturation will be formed in the country, which is not good for us. But if it is high, ordinary people will not be able to consume. First of all, rich people don’t necessarily pay much attention to it. Unless you come up with absolute authoritative certification, otherwise any rich person will be stupid enough to spend money to buy those non-existent dietary products. Also, what I’m more worried about is that our products are only very Common food, which is not a health supplement, can it really occupy a place in the market?"

These potential commercial concerns are indeed worthy of reconsideration, but He Junhao smiled and shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about these, what we do is both charity and business, and no one wants to be taken advantage of in a business that doesn't make money. It is the main source of our collection of merit. But it is different in China. The consumption concept of domestic people is very common. If a product sells well and consumers respond well, it is the best advertisement. Once it starts, there will be a steady stream of repeat customers. The nature of the business we are doing is very special, and we can’t make money immediately, we need to do it step by step.”

Yan Shuo didn't understand these truths, but as a businessman who is always in the business world, if he can only wait for the income by relying on the reputation of the common people, he might as well think of other ways to earn money from the rich.

Before Yan Shuo opened his mouth, Wei Zhenting also expressed his opinion: "Let's earn less money from ordinary people, and put the series of products consumed by the public as much as possible in supermarkets all over the country. If you want to do For high-end products, a commercial channel can also be specially created. Those rich people are more afraid of death than anyone else, and they are also afraid of terminal illness. Make some articles in the food. As long as we use it properly, find some people to do some live advertisements in the early stage, and those aristocratic families will definitely snatch it."

He Junhao said: "I also had this idea. But our project of developing Lingquan water can't be completed overnight. Just stabilizing the production line in the early stage and launching it into the market is enough for the three of us to have a headache. How can we have the energy and time to do these things?" .”

Yan Shuo was speechless and rolled his eyes: "Then we can find a partner. For example, the Sun family and the Lu family who have been very close to us in the past two years are the little classmate who heard that he went to study abroad. Their family seems to be engaged in overseas trade, and they are currently planning to move to the inland market. We can provide them with convenience, and they can also do things for us. This kind of mutually beneficial win-win opportunity, no matter what businessman it is Missed."

"You've thought of it, and Lao He naturally thought of it too." Wei Zhenting put his arms around his chest and poured cold water on Yan Shuo in a contemptuous tone.

Yan Shuo choked, curled his lips and stopped talking, picked up the cigarette on the table, and lit one for himself, as if he was waiting for He Junhao's conclusion.

Smelling the smell of smoke, He Junhao couldn't hold back anymore. He lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff slowly, and said, "The Sun family is still in the investigation period, and I'm not sure whether they will be attached to us in the future. Lu The problem with the family is not that big. The head of the Lu family has been busy for several years in order to find an online in the imperial capital. If the Ma family hadn't climbed up to the Tang family with snobbery back then, successfully entered the business circle of the imperial capital, squeezed out rivals and joined the circle of aristocratic families, then No matter how capable Ma Tianyu is, he is not worthy of the title of Fourth Young Master of God's Capital."

Yan Shuo sneered: "That's true. Back then, the Fourth Young Master of the Imperial Capital was arranged by people in the circle when they had nothing to do. I didn't expect that they would become a benchmark to show their family background."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Wei Zhenting criticized disdainfully: "Others say that the aristocratic family is aristocratic, but I say it is the dirtiest concentration camp. The distinction between the upper class and the common people is just to satisfy selfish desires and vanity."

The aristocratic families who think they are nobles look down on ordinary people with all their eyes above the top. They have money and power, so they can do whatever they want in the world and do whatever they want.But they don't know or understand that those ordinary people really live freely and carefree.

He Junhao chuckled and said, "Whether it's a family or a commoner, there is no conflict with us. As long as the world is peaceful, as long as our little wives and children are happy and healthy, those endless troubles will not affect us."

Yan Shuo and Wei Zhenting raised their eyebrows, agreeing with He Junhao's words.Afterwards, the two of them signaled He Junhao to continue the topic just now.

"I know a lot about the situation of the Lu family, and I originally planned to choose them to cooperate. The Lu family's business circle in the imperial capital is not too conspicuous, and cooperation with us will not attract attention in the short term. But I have considered for a long time, or I chose to give up. After all, the Lu family is not wading deep, and its foundation is not stable. Whether they are willing to take risks and cooperate with us remains to be seen, so I think it is better to be cautious."

Immediately afterwards, He Junhao said again: "By the way, there is something else to tell you. Yu's family also participated in the research and development of medicines. Mr. Yu secretly met with his grandpas some time ago. Grandpa originally proposed to marry, but later For some reason, it just went away.”

"Since marriage is not feasible, can the Yu family still use it?" Yan Shuo was more concerned about this.Even if the Yu family has an in-law relationship with the He family, the Yu family also belongs to a relatively neutral hermit family, but any relatives are empty talk in front of the interests of the regime, and only absolute loyalty and cooperation can eliminate hidden dangers.

He Junhao pursed his lips and said: "Since the Yu family chose to cooperate with our three major families, it has made their position clear. Grandpa's proposal of marriage is nothing more than wanting the relationship between the several families to be closer. Since ancient times, the alliance between the aristocratic families has been used to make both parties more trustworthy. , will adopt the most effective method of marriage. But as far as I know, it seems that Mr. Yu is not very happy about this marriage. In fact, it is not a big problem, the key lies with Zhenbin."

Hearing this, Wei Zhenting was stunned for a moment: "What does it have to do with Zhenbin?"

He Junhao stubbed out the cigarette butt, gloating: "That kid was in a good relationship with Yu Ning, because you had to cooperate with your plan and forced him to break up with him. Although everything was explained clearly later, but because Yu Ning was hurt, It was too deep, so I decided to go abroad. I also thought that if this kid Zhenbin valued love and righteousness, he would definitely chase him back without stopping. I didn't expect that in the end, this kid was so cowardly that he hid. "

Wei Zhenting knew about this matter, he personally asked Zhen Bin why he didn't go to find Yu Ning, Zhen Bin told him that the relationship between the two was not too deep, and he didn't think there was any need to bother him anymore.Wei Zhenting heard it at the time, and thought it was because Yu Ning didn't want to get back together, and Zhen Bin stopped stalking him so he decided to give up. He didn't think it was that complicated at all.

"So, Zhenbin actually likes Yu Ning, and Yu Ning also likes Zhenbin, right?" Yan Shuo scanned He Junhao and Wei Zhenting gossipingly, his peach eyes turned around with great interest.

He Junhao shrugged: "No one can say for sure about the relationship except the person involved. Anyway, Grandpa Wei planned to marry the Yu family, but the Yu family was too defensive. When the old man learned that his grandson had been wronged, what did he say? I also don't agree with Yu Ning and Zhenbin's marriage. And after the old man returned home, he immediately ordered Yu Ning to be sent abroad, lest his precious grandson would be harmed by that stupid Zhenbin again."

After hearing these words, Yan Shuo couldn't help laughing: "This old man is quite protective of the calf. In order to win the voice of his grandson, he even refused the marriage proposed by the Wei family."

He Junhao also smiled and said: "That's not true. Although the Yu family doesn't like to fight for power and profit, they are notoriously protective in the circle, no matter who you are."

"Then does this have anything to do with our drug research and development?" Wei Zhenting rubbed his face and asked rationally.

"Of course it doesn't matter. Mr. Yu would rather give up [-]% of the profit, just to make Grandpa Wei give up the idea of ​​marrying. From this, it can be seen that Yu Ning and Zhenbin are really impossible." He Junhao pretended to sigh, I don't know who I am sorry for for the rest of my life.

Wei Zhenting glanced at him coldly, took his last puff of cigarette, and said, "I will talk to Zhenbin sometime. As for Yu Ning, when we come back from Nanzhou..."

Before Wei Zhenting finished speaking, He Junhao immediately interrupted: "When we come back from Nanzhou, Yu Ning has already left the country, and the day lily is cold. Don't worry, I have asked An An to call Yu Ning, and we will Have a dinner with An An's friends before leaving."

This is the only opportunity, whether to grasp it or not depends on Zhenbin's will and decision.

Wei Zhenting nodded, indicating that he knew, and he would personally notify that bastard.

Yan Shuo held the back of his head with both hands, leaned on the chair leisurely with his legs crossed, and sincerely sighed: "It's really annoying to be in love! It's better for us, my little lover is gentle and considerate, beautiful and virtuous. Every day, my wife and children are hot on the kang. It’s really not too fun to live a life like this!”

He Junhao and Wei Zhenting looked at each other and smiled, so they naturally felt the same way.

So, the topic went off track again.

When the three men turned to the negotiation of finding a partner again, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

"Brother Junhao, Brother Zhenting, Brother Asuo, can I go in?"

Hearing that it was a little lover, the men quickly got up.One immediately opened the window to ventilate the smoke, one strode over to open the door, and one swiftly took the ashtray away.

In a few seconds, the study room was restored to cleanliness.

The door opened, and I saw Tian Xiaoan holding a tray in his hand, which contained three nights of hot soup and some pastries.

"Daughter-in-law, why did you wake up so early?" Wei Zhenting took the tray from the little lover's hand, bowed his head and kissed him.

According to the usual nap time, the little lover should still be asleep, and they woke up after a short sleep, and brought them tonic soup, which surprised the men.

"I answered a phone call and woke up and didn't want to sleep."

With the help of He Junhao, Tian Xiaoan put away the three bowls of tonic soup and cakes respectively, put them on the table with spoons and chopsticks, and beckoned the men to sit down and eat.

"Whose call?" Wei Zhenting frowned, a little annoyed that the caller woke up his little lover.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaoan stepped forward to hold his big palm, and comforted him with a soft smile: "Brother Zhen Ting, don't be angry, I'm not very sleepy in the first place."

Yan Shuo leaned forward and kissed the little lover's red lips, his fingers hooked the little lover's slender chin ambiguously, and his voice was sexy and hoarse provocatively: "Then who called you? You didn't even take your lunch break. Tell your husband quickly, or you will be punished!"

Tian Xiaoan blushed blushingly, glared at Yan Shuo who was not serious, but still answered honestly: "It was Alan who called."

Yan Shuo was taken aback, put away his cynical and flirtatious look, and asked with a tiger face: "Why would that guy call you on his own initiative? Also, how did that guy know your phone number?"

The three men are so possessive, who is in the little lover's mobile phone address book, and who knows the little lover's mobile phone number, they are naturally clear.

Yan Shuo's attitude and tone made Tian Xiao'an a little unhappy.He pouted and complained: "Alan is a friend, why can't he call me?"

Seeing the little lover staring at him with reddish eye circles, Yan Shuo's arrogance was extinguished in an instant. He was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down to please the little lover, and apologized with his arms around the little lover: "My wife is sorry, I just said it casually, there is no other meaning. .Don't be angry, okay, it's all my fault that I made a mistake without thinking about it."

Tian Xiaoan snorted coquettishly, turned around and ignored him, but looked at He Junhao and Wei Zhenting, and explained obediently: "When the baby was taken away last time, you were not at home when you went abroad, Alan Contacted me through my little daddy, wanted to help find the baby, and asked me about the baby. It was also at that time that we added contact information to each other. Later, the baby was found, and I didn’t care about it because I was pregnant. I forgot to tell you about it."

After hearing this, the men understood, and exchanged glances calmly.

He Junhao stepped forward, embraced his little lover from the depressed Yan Shuo's arms, and said softly, "An'an, you don't need to explain so clearly. You also have your own space for making friends, and we won't forcefully interfere."

Wei Zhenting lovingly rubbed his little lover's black hair: "Old He is right, you don't have to tell us who you contact or which friend you call on the phone from now on."

It's just talking on the lips, what to do in private, the men have their own plans in their hearts.

These three possessive guys are so possessive that they can only deceive the innocent Tian Xiaoan.However, Tian Xiaoan was also willing to be deceived by them. This kind of "captive" who is "surveilled" all the time is the love and protection of the men. Tian Xiaoan not only did not complain at all, but felt more and more happy and satisfied.

Tian Xiaoan smiled happily, and looked at the men with beautiful brown eyes full of water: "I see. Sit down and eat, it's going to be cold later."

He Junhao and Wei Zhenting sat down politely and let their little lover serve them to eat.

Yan Shuo was left out in the cold and was hit hard, so he began to rack his brains to find opportunities for himself to gain a sense of presence.

Tian Xiaoan ignored him, serving soup to He Junhao and cakes to Wei Zhenting, but did not look at Yan Shuo who was waiting to be fed like a pug.

Yan Shuo had a miserable and handsome face, no matter how much he apologized or how good he said, Tian Xiaoan didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Yan Shuo was jealous and regretful at the same time, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Honey, you are so generous to them two, why are you so narrow-minded to me?"

It’s okay if you don’t say this, but Tian Xiaoan seemed to be set on fire when he said it, with a shameful and angry face, he took a chopstick and knocked it over, and said fiercely: "Who was it last night?" Blocked me in the bathroom? Taking advantage of the absence of Brother Junhao and Zhenting, you deliberately tricked me in to get you a bath towel, I didn't expect you to... still..."

how aboutTian Xiaoan was so ashamed that he couldn't tell.Since the birth of the twins, although his body has already returned to normal, the men feel sorry for him and are reluctant to touch him, but last night, Brother Asuo couldn't hold back and dragged him into the bathroom to stand up once. I also enjoyed it very much, but I was just unspeakably angry.

Yan Shuo froze, the expression on his face was both guilty and turbulent.

And He Junhao and Wei Zhenting's ears perked up, and their faces turned livid and ugly at the same time: "An An (daughter-in-law), what did that bastard do to you last night?"

Without waiting for Tian Xiaoan to speak, He Junhao and Wei Zhenting immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks, gritted their teeth and rushed towards Yan Shuo who was on guard.

Yan Shuo couldn't dodge in time, and his little lover was watching, so he was beaten solidly like this.

However, Tian Xiaoan was also reluctant to let Yan Shuo get beaten up, seeing that the men were almost venting their anger for him, he hurried forward to stop him.

何浚颢和卫振霆虽心有不甘，恨不得把严硕这混蛋揍个半死，却也不想小爱人因心疼太过关注那家伙。In order not to be uncomfortable, the two of them withdrew their hands, thinking darkly in their hearts, how to dismantle Yan Shuo in private.

After making such a fuss, the men sat back in their seats and enjoyed the delicacies that their little lover cooked for them.

At this time, Tian Xiaoan also remembered the serious matter he wanted to talk about, which was about the phone call with Alan just now: "Alan said that he and Montes wanted to live in China, and asked me a lot about the Tianjia snack bar. "

Yan Shuo was puzzled: "What the hell are these two guys doing? Since you are curious about your snack bar, why didn't you just ask me? Why are you calling you mysteriously? Forget it, let me ask myself."

Alan and Montes are Yan Shuo's few close friends. They are not only his closest business partners, but also trustworthy friends.Yan Shuo didn't think that the two of them called the little lover alone without him. It was counter-espionage or conspiracy or something, and it wasn't acting in a TV or movie. How could there be so many ups and downs in the plot.Moreover, he is well aware of the wealth and background of these two people, otherwise he would not feel at ease to cooperate with them for so many years.

Therefore, when Yan Shuo's call came, Montes seemed to have expected to wait for a long time, and even opened the request to connect to the video.

"Hi, dear Shuo, I haven't contacted you for so long, do you miss an old friend?"

Before Montes' voice could be heard, Allen's facial features appeared on the screen, and the handsome facial features were filled with a chilly sweet smile.

Yan Shuo twitched his middle finger to him like vomiting, and scolded with a smile: "You are making me sick, Alan. But I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have become so coquettish. Could it be that Montes can't satisfy you? I can't Married man, no matter how much you flirt, you won't be able to seduce me."

As soon as the voice fell, Alan's face changed, and he exclaimed, and he was suddenly lifted up by a pair of arms. The next moment, Montes's deep and three-dimensional handsome face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Montes. I think you should take care of your Alan. This man is too flamboyant. If you don't want to face so many rivals in love in the future, I suggest you build a big cage to put him in for comparison." good."

"Damn! Shut up, Shuo, Montes is the one who listens to you the most!" Allen's yelled angrily, making Yan Shuo gloat and laugh.

Seeing Yan Shuo and his friends getting along so relaxed and brisk, Tian Xiaoan covered his mouth and smirked leaning against Wei Zhenting's arms, and whispered: "Brother Zhenting, look at the relationship between Alan and Montes and Brother Asuo. Looks good."

Wei Zhenting bowed his head, lightly pecked his little lover's lips, and said in a low voice: "It's like this between friends. You can hurt each other, hate each other, make trouble with each other, and you can also treat each other with sincerity and attack each other."

Tian Xiaoan nodded his head and looked up at him: "Just like you and Brother Junhao and Brother Asuo. Although there are quarrels every day, we live together every day, and we are still very happy and happy, right?"

The little lover's eyes were clear and clean, and the purest light shone inside, instantly infecting the men.

He Junhao wrapped his little lover's little hand with his big palm, and nodded happily: "Of course."

Enough laughing, Montes put his long arms around Allen's waist, looked at Yan Shuo seriously and said, "Shuo, I have to ask you to help me."

The friend who has always been calm and calm begged him rarely, Yan Shuo couldn't help but restrain his expression, and asked seriously: "What happened?"

"Shuo, I need you to help me open a private route directly to the imperial capital. It is best for the plane to arrive tonight, and you must keep it secret for me. I will take care of the rest myself."

Montes didn't disclose too much information, so he hung up the communication in a hurry.But it was not hard to hear from those words that his condition must be very bad, as if he was about to run for his life.

Without further ado, Yan Shuo immediately called and gave orders.

He Junhao and Wei Zhenting also called respectively. With the help of their three major families, things went smoothly.

That night, Montes and Alan arrived at the imperial capital on time, and soon, under Yan Shuo's arrangement, they quietly moved into Yan Shuo's long-vacant villa.

"The situation in Beizhou has been unpredictable in recent years. Several countries headed by country M have begun to control offshore oil fields on a large scale to affect the global economic effect. The Meng family cannot accept the takeover system of the local government. If we compromise, the oil fields It will be used wantonly by the government, and the Meng family will become passive migrant workers. Not only will they not get any benefit, but they may become their victims at any time. I don't want to take the blame, and I don't want to deal with those politicians, so I decided to sell the oil field in private to a big country in Western Continent."

After Montes and Allen took a bath and changed their clothes, and had another comfortable dinner, they began to report their encounters and changes in the past six months.

"I sold all the oil fields at a low price, which will definitely anger the North Continent Alliance. In order to avoid death, I have plans to flee here after I get all the final payment." Montes' tone was very flat, a bit It didn't look like he had just experienced a thrilling escape.

"Montes, you are really bold! You can sell all your property in a short period of time and safely evacuate the enemy's chassis in the first place. Not to mention how the North Continent Alliance was furious when they learned of your disappearance. Even I I was shocked and overwhelmed by your series of methods." Yan Shuo looked at Montes with admiration and exclaimed.

Montes smiled humbly: "According to an old saying in your big eastern country, those who know the current affairs are the best. I just saw the current situation clearly, and it will be a matter of time before the Meng family will become a thorn in the government's eyes. Anyway, the family members have already separated But, the business of the oil field is only supported by me, I can do whatever I want, and withdraw if I don’t want to, it’s as simple as that.”

He Junhao and Wei Zhenting looked at the calm and unhurried Montes, and they had to praise this courageous man, who was worthy of their friendship.

"It's just a pity that your oilfields are of high development value, and you sold them to the big country of Xizhou at the cheapest price. You must have lost a lot." Yan Shuo was more worried that this friend would suffer a loss.

Montes shook his head and said: "Those are nothing, as long as life is still alive, everything can start all over again."

Hearing this, Yan Shuo was stunned, then laughed heartily, patted Montes on the shoulder heavily, and solemnly promised: "Brother, don't worry, in my territory, I promise to make you comeback!"

Yes, as long as life is still alive, everything can be started again, so what is the wealth of those things outside of the body?After a few years, maybe you can earn back hundreds of times and thousands of times, and still live in peace and stability.This is the most elusive but most open-minded state of mind when people face endless desires.

The words of Montes benefited the three distinguished princes a lot, and they felt relieved and indifferent to certain thoughts. At the same time, they looked at Montes with a lot of appreciation and eagerness in their eyes.

"Alan, what about you? Montes is planning to stay here. Do you have any plans?" After talking about Montes, Yan Shuo did not forget his friend Alan.

"The Pod family has been fighting constantly. Although as a prospective heir, I have not been affected much, but because I fell in love with Montes, many people in the family were dissatisfied. At that time, Montes was targeted by the North Continent Alliance. I also don't want to stay in that chaotic home anymore, so I gave up my status as the heir and decided to follow Montes to join you."

Alan snuggled into his lover's arms, his eyes released and satisfied. He looked at Yan Shuo, who twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Shuo, although Montes and I are down and out now, we are still good friends, right? I have good news for you, we have decided to get married, so it depends on you to help us prepare a grand wedding."

Yan Shuo turned black, but he was not so stingy: "This house is my private house, so I gave it to you to live in. As for the marriage, we will talk about it when we come back from Nanzhou."

"When are you going to Nanzhou? Shuo, can we go together?" Montes showed great interest.

Yan Shuo didn't answer, but asked strangely: "You called Xiaoxiao and asked him about the snack bar. Are you planning to start a catering business after settling here?"
