- Vol 2 Chapter 418: : The little wife of the overbearing president
Zhu Xijun is wearing a long white dress with suspenders. The upper body is plain white, and the hem of the lower body is printed with blossoming orchids, which looks very simple and elegant, but it is more youthful.
There is no jewelry on her neck. The strap reveals a small section of the collarbone. Under her feet are a pair of flat sandals. She is not short, about one meter six to five, but Andy is too tall, one meter nine, making Zhu Xijun very petite next to her. .
The two came to Qingshui Temple. Zhu Xijun introduced the origin of Qingshui Temple to Andy. The Qingshui Patriarch enshrined in Qingshui Temple was originally the title of the anti-Yuan hero Chen Zhaoying in the late Song Dynasty. In his later years, he secluded as a monk in Anxi County, Fujian, and was later worshipped. Become the Patriarch of Shimizu.
Out of Qingshui Temple,
Zhu Xijun pointed his fingers and said: “We worship the Patriarch Qingshui every year. There are many festivals in Penang. For example, we Han Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, Christians celebrate Christmas, and Good Friday.”
“Those who believe in the Buddha celebrate Vesak Day. Vesak Day is the day when the Buddha was born, enlightened, and passed away.”
“There are also Hari festival, Eid al-Fitr, etc., celebrated by Malays, Deepavali celebrated by Indians. Isn’t it a bit messy?”
Andy shook his head, “Freedom of belief, this is a good thing.”
Zhu Xijun smiled.
“It’s noon, would you like me to take you to taste the special snacks of Penang, I wonder if you, a big man, are used to eating?” Zhu Xijun said.
“Okay, I just want to experience the local characteristics.” Andy said.
The two came to a restaurant opened by a local, and found a table to sit down. Zhu Xijun chatted with the shop owner in Hokkien dialect and quickly ordered a few dishes.
“What’s all there?” Andy asked.
“You are such a big guy, you can definitely eat it, I just ordered a few more, including satay, Teochew cendol, braised pork, and Penang prawn noodles. Penang prawn noodles are delicious.” Zhu Xijun said.
“Don’t understand?” Andy said.
The name cannot be translated.
“I’ll introduce you to you in a while.” Zhu Xijun said.
When the food came up soon, Zhu Xijun introduced to Andy that it turned out that satay is a kind of skewers, and the braised pork is a platter of braised pork, served with prawn noodles.
Teochew cendol is a kind of sweet, green vermicelli with soft waxy red beans, and some other ingredients, plus smoothies and coconut milk.
“How is it, is it delicious?” Zhu Xijun asked Andy as soon as he took a bite.
Andy nodded, “I like it very much.”
Seeing Andy loves to eat, Zhu Xijun’s eyes curled up with smile, “Let’s just say, Teochew cendol is the best, I love this, and the one I brought you here is the most authentic. It’s already a few in Penang. Ten years of history.”
The two finished their meal and prepared to pay the bill.
Andy found embarrassingly that he didn’t even have any money. He is a big president, and he is surrounded by several secretarial assistants on weekdays.
He just wanted to call the bodyguard from a distance.
At this time, Zhu Xijun said, “I brought you out today, so naturally I will treat you.” As he said, he took out a small cloth wallet from the side of the dress.
Unzipped the zipper and took out some money from it to pay the store.
It was the first time Andy was treated by a girl when he grew up. He only felt sweet in his heart, which was sweeter than Chaozhou cendol.
“Then next time I invite you.” Andy said.
“Okay.” Zhu Xijun nodded with a smile.
In the afternoon, the two came to the commercial street. Now there is only one main commercial street in Penang. There are small buildings of 20-30% on both sides. There are recruitments outside the shops. Most of them are Chinese characters. Most of these shops are opened by Chinese.
However, next to the big letters of the sign, Malay small letters are usually written.
The two walked into a shop, and Zhu Xijun said: “Since Governor Hardy came, Penang has changed a lot. Take the merchandise as an example. Penang used to have a single product, but now it is much richer.”
“There are still a lot of American, Hong Kong, and Japanese products. Although there is no shortage of goods, I feel that the quality of shopping malls needs to be improved.”
Andy came interested,
“Oh, tell me what you think?”
Zhu Xijun realized that he had just said too much, and looked at Andy a little embarrassed: “I just said casually, Governor Hardy and you have established such a large business group, you can definitely see it.”
“It’s okay, just tell me, I want to hear it.” Andy said.
Zhu Xijun pondered for a moment and said boldly: “I have read magazines about the United States in Hong Kong. There were introductions to the commercial street. I concentrated on one street and built several large shopping malls to form a real commercial center. I feel that that is the future. trend.”
Andy nodded.
“Yes, there are plans for Penang. When we go back, the city will widen, build a few major roads, and increase the city’s plot ratio. Now Penang has an increasing population and I believe there will be more in the future. One of the plans is to build a central business district. “Andy said.
It’s already afternoon.
Although Andy likes to stay with this sunshine girl very much, he still sent him back by a gentleman.
As soon as Zhu Xijun got home, he was taken aback by the battle before him.
Mom and Dad, two older brothers and sisters, as well as younger brothers and two younger sisters, and even the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law are here.
Since she entered the living room, these people’s eyes have been looking at her scorchingly.
“What are you doing?” Zhu Xijun said timidly.
The eldest sister stepped forward and took Zhu Xijun’s hand and asked: “Second sister, how did you play with that Mr. Andy today?”
“pretty good.”
“Where did it all go?”
“We went to several places in Qingshui Temple and ate Penang prawn noodles and Teochew cendol. It was still my guest. We went to the commercial street in the afternoon and we went shopping and chatting.”
“What did you say?” Dad Zhu Yunquan asked kindly.
“It’s nothing to talk about. It’s just that there are more products now, and the future development of Penang. Mr. Andy said that Governor Hardy has a unified plan for Penang and that it will be expanded in the future. It will be divided into several different functional areas to build a real Business districts and so on.” Zhu Xijun said.
When Zhu Yunquan heard this, his heart beat twice.
This is an incredible piece of news. If you can get news in advance, get a few projects, or make arrangements in advance during the city’s construction, then the Zhu family will definitely get rich returns.
at this point,
Zhu Xijun’s eldest brother also thought about it, and asked, “Second sister, did Mr. Andy tell you in detail where you are going to open the road and where to build a commercial street? There are still a few plots of land around the Zhu’s family. Go in, and the value of those plots will definitely rise.”
“We didn’t talk so carefully.” Zhu Xijun said.
“Second sister, that President Andy, have you ever dated you again?” Zhu Xijun’s second brother said.
Zhu Xijun shook his head, “No, people are so busy and there are so many important things. I guess today I just want to see the situation in Penang and plan future construction.”
The Zhu family were slightly disappointed when they heard that the contract had not been renewed.
Zhu Yunquan looked at his second daughter and said, “Xijun, if you have the opportunity to keep in touch with this President Andy, it’s best to be friends. There are multiple friends and multiple paths. Sometimes it may be the way to save your life. When the family is in trouble, with such a friend, one sentence can solve a big problem.”
Zhu Xijun is also a very clever girl, knowing what her father meant: “Daddy, people are big people, and it’s good to have a relationship.”
Zhu Yunquan also understands this truth. Even if it is him, his identity is far from that of President Andy, and the two sides are not on the same level.
“Don’t force it, just say it like this. Okay, let’s get ready for dinner.” Zhu Yunquan said kindly.
……
Andy returned to Governor Hardy’s mansion.
Holding Little Byrne playing outside for a while, Hardy smiled and said, “You like children so much, don’t you plan to have one by yourself?”
Andy was stunned for half a second.
“It’s not that simple to have children. Children are the crystallization of love. You must love them all your life when you are born. You must have love to have children.” Andy said.
There was a smile at the corner of Hardy’s mouth.
Before he and Andy talked about this topic, Andy always answered very firmly, without ideas, but this time the answer was ambiguous.
What does this show,
It shows that Andy’s mind has changed.
A solid city wall may collapse just by pulling off a brick.
“How was it going out today?” Hardy asked intentionally or unintentionally.
“Very good. I saw some historical sites and ate local specialty snacks. They tasted good, and then I went to other places.”
“Will you go out tomorrow?”
“Oh~ it depends on the situation.”
“When are you going to return to the United States?” Hardy asked suddenly.
“Back to America, what’s the matter?” Andy looked at Hardy. He could go back at any time, but now he doesn’t want to go back.
“It’s okay, I just ask.” Hardy said.
Phoo~!
Andy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Penang is very nice here. I like the scenery here. I haven’t had a good rest for several years. Shouldn’t you, a capitalist, give me a few more days off!” Andy said.
Hardy raised his hand.
“I didn’t mean to rush you, it’s up to you how long you plan to cultivate.”
Although Hardy didn’t mean to urge, Andy knew that he couldn’t delay his stay in Penang for too long. If he had an idea, he would need to speed up.
“Is your yacht in Penang?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
“Lend me this time.” Andy said.
Andy said before that he would borrow Hardy’s yacht to pick up girls in the future, and now this sentence comes true.
……
The second day.
Andy asked Zhu Xijun again.
When the Zhu family learned that the President Andy had another appointment with his daughter, they were all very excited. Regardless of whether the two will develop or not, being friends is enough for Zhu’s family to be pleased.
Penang is not big,
Actually, they have been shopping almost yesterday, but sometimes when two people are together, what cares about is not the scenery, but the mood.
Zhu Xijun’s personality is gentle and generous, and Andy appreciates this very much. Of course, Zhu Xijun’s character is what attracts Andy the most. She is always so sunny and joyful.
It’s like a small sun glowing and hot.
Andy is with her, feeling the trauma and dark emotions originally in love, a little bit melted.
A happy person,
Can heal a sad heart.
Andy likes to be with this girl more and more.
On the third day,
Andy invited Zhu Xijun to go to sea. On Hardy’s big yacht, Zhu Xijun turned around and said, “This big yacht, as soon as it arrived at Penang Port, it caused a sensation, and many people talked about it. ”
“I all know that it is Governor Hardy’s yacht. My sisters also said that it would be great if they could get on the boat and have a look. I don’t know how luxurious it is. I didn’t expect that I would actually come on board today. Wow~, the decoration on the boat is good. It’s pretty, doesn’t it cost a lot of money?”
The girl’s simple words, without any obstruction, said what she thought of.
With a smile on his face, Andy replied: “This ship cost about 3.5 million US dollars.”
“Wow~~!”
Zhu Xijun’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Our Zhu family has been operating in Penang for hundreds of years. I am afraid that all the property may not be able to buy such a boat. Governor Hardy is really rich.”
Andy heart said,
I can also afford it.
On the fourth day,
Everyone,
Yes,
Everyone felt that Andy and this Miss Zhu Xijun, I am afraid that there is already some inexplicable feeling between them.
The Zhu family became a little excited at this moment.
Han Yezhen and Hardy lay on the bed and asked about Andy, “It seems that Andy is interesting to the girl named Xijun. He has been single for so many years. Would you like us to help and propose marriage to Zhu’s family? ”
Hardy touched Han Yezhen’s swelling belly and smiled and said: “What kind of kiss, he finally moved, let him enjoy the process.”
“Andy is not a fool. He was only hurt by his wife before and closed his relationship. If he wants to take down that girl, he has a way.”
The fifth day…,
Sixth day….
Every day when the two of them went out, Zhu Xijun naturally felt the strangeness of Andy. When he went out that day, Zhu Xijun, who was originally cheerful, became a little bit twisted.
I always laughed when I talked to Andy before, but this time I didn’t dare to look at Andy.
The two were walking on the seaside promenade,
In the distance is a white sandy beach.
Many tourists play on the beach.
“Didi~!”
A car roared past.
Andy subconsciously grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled her to his side. Zhu Xijun was unprepared, staggering under her feet, and fell in the direction of Andy, and Andy hugged the girl’s waist.
The two looked at each other.
Time freezes,
Space freeze frame.
Zhu Xijun’s face turned red,
Andy’s throat moved.
“Xie Jun~~” Andy said dryly.
“Mr. Andy.”
“Xijun, do you plan to study in the United States?” Andy asked suddenly.
Zhu Xijun was taken aback…
Hey,
Hardy overestimated Andy, the old gun that hadn’t been touched for more than ten years was indeed a little rusty.
After sending Zhu Xijun back to Zhu’s house, Andy returned to the Governor’s Mansion and said to Hardy: “I plan to go back soon.”
“Have you confessed to the Zhu family?” Hardy asked.
Andy was taken aback.
Then he knew that he couldn’t hide his affairs from Hardy.
“I asked her if she would like to study in the United States. She said she would consider it and discuss it with her family when she goes home.”
Hardy was dumbfounded.
This is,
Didn’t plan to do it in one step, want to cultivate the rhythm slowly?
Ok,
This kind of thing, as long as there is not too much deviation, Hardy does not want to mix too much, after all, this is a very personal matter.
……
Zhu Xijun came home and told the family what Andy said, “Mom and Dad, Mr. Andy suggested that I study in the United States. I don’t know how to decide. I want to ask your opinions?”
“How are you and Mr. Andy developing during this period?” Father Zhu Yunquan asked~www.mtlnovel.com~ Oh, we are just chatting, just ordinary friends, dad, don’t think too much. “Zhu Xijun said.
Zhu Yunquanxin said that ordinary friends, the president Andy will be delayed for a week to ask you out every day, but he knows how precious the time of these big people is.
Hardy Group now has forty or fifty subordinate companies, and some branch companies are no longer in scale than a group company. For such a large company head, there are probably people waiting to see him every day.
“Did President Andy take the initiative to suggest it?” Father Zhu asked again.
“Yes, Mr. Andy took the initiative. He said that it is better to study in the United States to see the outside world more and broaden my horizons. He also suggested that I go to the University of California, Los Angeles, saying that I can directly enter the business school.” Zhu Xijun road.
Zhu Yunquan knew that the headquarters of the Hardy Group was in Los Angeles, and he had some cares in his mind.
“Girl, my dad is very supportive of you to study in the United States. I saw the outside world. When I arranged you to go to the University of Hong Kong, I had this idea. It would be better to go to the United States now. If Mr. Andy can help arrange admission to the school, then It’s even better.” Zhu Yunquan said.
“You agree?” Zhu Xijun asked.
“Of course I agree.”
“In the United States, the cost is not small.”
“Don’t worry, Dad made it.” Zhu Yunquan said proudly.
Zhu Xijun jumped over and took her father’s neck and kissed him, “Thank you Dad.”
A few days later,
Andy is gone.
Zhu Xijun was also taken away at the same time.
I believe that in the United States,
They will develop another story.
The name Hardy has been thought of, “The formation of the overbearing president Xiaojiao’s wife”.
