In the coffee shop, Xia Zhi and Xie Lanzhou were sitting together, Gao Rong was sitting opposite, holding hot chocolate in both hands, bowed his head and took a sip.

I couldn't see her expression from this angle, Xia Zhi asked: "Squad leader, are you okay?"

Gao Rong raised her head, she was still the capable and elegant lady of the Shangchao family, she smiled and said: "Huh? I'm fine. I just saw Liao Xing, it's a little strange... When did he have a girlfriend?"

No matter how she pretended, she couldn't hide the emotion in her eyes.

Xia Zhi replied: "It was a while ago."

Gao Rong brushed her hair behind her ears: "Oh, is that so? I don't even know..." She may have never paid attention to the people and things in the drama club other than work, and she only saw a back just now, so she asked cautiously said, "Do you know who it is?"

She became flustered after asking, and explained: "My parents and Liao Xing's parents are business partners. You also know that our two families have a very good relationship. I just... just want to..."

She hesitated, Xia Zhi continued: "I understand, class monitor." He told the truth, "My name is Gu Tianqing, she is a sophomore in high school, and she is also in your drama club."

Gao Rong's eyes were clear for a moment, then dimmed again: "Oh, it's her...she...she is very beautiful."

Xia Zhi didn't know how to comfort her. In the past, she always felt that Liao Xing and her didn't like each other, but they were kidnapped by two families and insisted on being together. But looking at it now, it seems that Gao Rong might not be unwilling.

"You are also beautiful." Xia Zhi said sincerely, "And you are smart and kind."

Xie Lanzhou has been playing with his mobile phone, listening to him praise others, turned to look at him.

"Why? Did I say something wrong? The squad leader is really nice!" Xia Zhi was afraid that he would be jealous and say something that would be misunderstood, so she hurriedly tried to stop him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lanzhou just smiled and said: "That's right, the first store my family's clothing brand opened in City D was in the shopping mall of the squad leader's family. Do the most basic work in your own shop."

Gao Rong bowed her head and touched her nose in embarrassment after being praised by the two of them. These were all requests from her father. If she wants to inherit the family business in the future, she must start from the grassroots and understand the positioning of shopping malls and supermarkets. In order to better lead others, only by improving the format of business and various work processes.

This is the art of leadership and management, and only by truly understanding what people are doing can they get the most out of them.

Although Gao Rong can't fully understand at her age, she is willing to work hard and try, which is much better than most second sons who only know how to enjoy themselves and have fun.

"Thank you." Gao Rong's mood improved a lot, "I came to help my mother get things today, I didn't expect... to meet you."

Xia Zhi looked around. This mall is a new mall that has just opened for less than a year. The decoration style is consistent with the high-end and atmospheric style of the North District. It also houses high-end brands, as well as some fashion and creative brands. Exhibitions and exhibitions have given many young designers the opportunity to showcase.

Gold-collar and white-collar workers who work nearby will come here for dinner or shopping after work

"Is this your home?" he asked.

Gao Rong nodded: "Yes, my father bought the land many years ago. When the North District developed, we followed suit."

The Gao family has been cultivating in City D for many years, and has three large shopping malls in the downtown business district and emerging areas.The Liao family is mainly engaged in chain supermarkets, several of which are located in Gao's shopping mall, and they also own a shopping mall in the city center. Although the source of customers is stable, the development prospects are not as good as Gao's.

The two are also family friends, with different business formats and customers, so they do not constitute competition, but can complement each other.

The Gao family has only one daughter, Gao Rong, who is being raised as a successor. Because she has been married to the Liao family since she was a child, many suitors have been rejected.

Xie Lanzhou asked bluntly: "What do you like about him?" To be honest, Liao Xing is very reliable as a friend, but when it comes to marriage, he is really not suitable for marriage.Especially judging from the current strength of the two families, Gao Rong is a married woman, but this guy doesn't know how to cherish it at all.

Gao Rong's face turned red all of a sudden, he frowned and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I... I didn't see him."

She took a sip of hot chocolate, and thought about what to say: "We played together since we were young, and we have this kind of relationship at home. He has a girlfriend. I'm worried that someone will talk nonsense, which will affect the relationship between the two families, and... …The parents of both sides will definitely not be happy when they find out about this.”

Her explanation was spot-on, but she missed one point alone.

Xia Zhi: "Your engagement is only verbal. If you both disagree, it won't actually affect the relationship between the two."

Gao Rong held the mug in both hands and fell silent. Only she knew the real reason.

The coffee shop was not far from the restaurant where Liao Xing was dating, Xie Lanzhou looked up and saw Liao Xing and Gu Tianqing coming out of the restaurant holding hands.

Gu Tianqing changed into a denim short skirt full of logos, knee-high socks and black platform shoes with an iron buckle as soon as school was over. The bag in her hand was replaced with the latest peach pink ladydior. Her whole body revealed a strong taste of money.

One could tell that Liao Xing had spent a lot of money on her.

Xia Zhi followed Xie Lanzhou's gaze, and Gao Rong also turned around.

Xia Zhi suddenly said: "I don't like her."

Xie Lanzhou held his hand under the table, put down his hand and kneaded: "I don't understand why Liao Xing likes her."

Gao Rong spoke for her: "She is very beautiful, the kind of beauty that girls would look at twice, and she is very smart and popular. She is the heroine in the performance of the school celebration drama club. The result is that everyone voted out."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "How far is No.2 from her?"

Gao Rong: "Two votes."

Xie Lanzhou asked: "Squad leader, did you vote for her too?"

Gao Rong nodded, and replied earnestly: "Her temperament and appearance are very suitable for the image of the heroine. I am the vice president of the drama club, so of course I have to choose the most suitable person."

Xia Zhi looked at Gao Rong's attire, he was thin and petite, with short ear-length hair, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Even if he was wearing the school uniform of Jingshi private high school, he would not stand out in the crowd.

"What is your role?" he asked.

Gao Rong: "Fairy godmother."

"..." Xia Zhi: "Are you going to play "Cinderella"?"

Gao Rong: "Yes."

Xia Zhi is not a member of the drama club, so it is inconvenient to say anything about the childish play of "Cinderella" rehearsed by high school students.But according to this, it is understandable for Gu Tianqing to play the heroine.

He saw Liao Xing waiting at the door of the toilet in the distance, and when Gu Tianqing came out, the two of them chatted and laughed together while waiting for the elevator.

Gao Rong also saw it, and looked away after just one glance, and said in a low voice, "Liao Xingren is actually quite simple, I hope she can treat him sincerely."

Gu Tianqing dated Liao Xing, and even flirted with Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi knew clearly that this girl was not sincere to Liao Xing, she just regarded Liao Xing as a cash machine and a pedal, if she met a better candidate , will definitely kick out Liao Xing without hesitation.

After sending Gao Rong home, it was almost nine o'clock when Xia Zhi and Xie Lanzhou returned to the apartment. As soon as they opened the door, Fatty Liao rushed over to greet him: "You are finally back!"

Seeing that he had changed into home clothes, Xia Zhi couldn't help but wondered, "Why are you still at my house?"

Liao Xing said angrily: "You said that I could stay at your house for a few days! What? Do you want to go back on your word? Could it be because I bumped into you two..."

His voice was loud, and Xia Zhi unconsciously raised his voice, overshadowing him: "Shut the fuck up! I mean why don't you live with your girlfriend."

Liao Xing said shyly, "Hey, I have to cherish him."

Xia Zhi seemed to have heard a joke, and laughed a few times, but she was glad in her heart, if a relationship really happened, then this matter would be difficult to handle, maybe Liao Xing would be entangled by Gu Tianqing.

So I said like an old mother: "You are right, girls must cherish it, and you can't do that kind of thing before marriage."

Liao Xing proudly said: "That's for sure, I'm such a gentleman! I will definitely protect her." He was so proud that he couldn't hold back his words, "It's different from you, we have a relationship as soon as we make a relationship... But it's understandable, Two lower-body animals live together, that is Gan Chai Lie..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Zhi's fist swung towards his face.

Having had enough trouble, the three of them were sitting at the bar in the living room chatting, Xia Zhi asked him: "Did you spend a lot of money on her?"

Liao Xing rubbed his head: "I saw that she liked it, so I wanted to buy it for her. I was very happy to see her wearing the clothes and shoes I bought. Are all men like this?"

Xie Lanzhou nodded thoughtfully: "Yes."

Xia Zhi glared at him, then continued to ask Liao Xing: "Did she ask you for it?"

Liao Xing: "No, she doesn't want anything. She is angry when I buy it for her, but I can tell that she likes it. She can't hide her thoughts. How can a girl not like beautiful clothes, right?"

"..." Xia Zhi only thought that this girl's rank was too high, she made fun of Liao Xing, a foolish boy, and even happily counted the money for her when she was sold.

"She also advised me not to waste my family's money recklessly, but to work hard to earn money by myself." Liao Xing's eyes were full of stars, "Where can I find such a simple and lovely girl?"

Xie Lanzhou said: "Then how do you plan to make money? Does she have any good advice for you?"

Liao Xing: "Miss Tianluo, it's meaningless if you say this. I'm a high school graduate. Where do you want me to earn money?"

"Doesn't it depend on the family?" Xie Lanzhou poked him in the sore spot, "She just said it, and you believe it?"

Liao Xing got a little angry: "You don't know her well, so don't talk nonsense. What she likes is me, not my money. We have a lot of common topics."

Xie Lanzhou stood up, took out the bottled water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid, and said, "There is nothing shameful in liking rich people, because the environment and experience you grew up in shaped you. Temperament, your vision, are worthy of others' liking, no emotion is absolutely perfect, this is not shameful, what is shameful is using emotion to cover up the real purpose."

Liao Xing saw that he didn't speak, then stood up and went back to the room.

Seeing that the door of the room was closed, Xia Zhi sighed: "You have said too much, and the timing is not right, he is now a fan of the authorities, how could he see it."

Xie Lanzhou hugged him from behind, put his head on his shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry."

Xia Zhi touched his face: "I know you have good intentions, but you can't rush this matter."

Xie Lanzhou said "um": "Listen to you, he is your friend, I shouldn't talk too much."

Xia Zhi turned around and kissed the corner of his eye: "You just said that no relationship is perfect? ​​Then is there anything else in your relationship with me?"

"Well, my feelings for you are not pure..."

Xia Zhi was not very happy: "What is mixed with it?"

Xie Lanzhou smiled and picked him up from the chair, and whispered two words in his ear: "Lust丨Lust."
