Rebirth Starts at 7 Million - Chapter 234
After understanding the demands of the company’s employees, Luo Fan deliberately mentioned the blind date meeting when he went to meet with the leaders over there to discuss things at Xingyuan headquarters.
The leaders over there obviously don’t care about it. After all, it’s 2012, not 2021. Getting married and having children is not a big problem.
It is normal for the leaders not to care, but out of respect for Xingyuan, the leaders arranged for their secretaries to help hold two blind date meetings.
As for the result! It can only be said that it is indescribable.
There were no 10 couples in the two blind date meetings, and Luo Fan didn’t know what to say for a while.
As for Xu Jiale, he has been frequently in and out of the art department recently. At first, Li Jingyi thought he was talking about work. Later, Li Jingyi found out that Xu Jiale was simply a drunkard, not drinking. His goal was his senior sister Chen Sichu.
That night, when Luo Fan and Li Jingyi returned home, Li Jingyi dragged Luo Fan over and pressed him on the sofa and said, “Luo Fan, I have discovered a big secret.”
“What secret?” Luo Fan asked curiously.
“Xu Jiale seems to be interested in my senior sister.”
“Your senior sister? Chen Sichu, the former front desk of our company?”
“Yes, it’s her!”
“It turns out that Brother Xu is looking at her!” Luo Fan exclaimed.
“Huh? Luo Fan, do you know about this?” Li Jingyi asked in a daze.
“I know. Brother Xu asked me before if he could have an office romance. I said yes. He should have put it into action.”
“Then don’t tell me!” Li Jingyi complained.
“What’s there to say about this kind of thing? Men should be married and women should be married! Having said that, I haven’t been in contact with Chen Sichu, and I don’t know her very well. What is she like?” Luo Fan asked.
“What? Are you afraid that Xu Jiale will suffer?”
“A little bit, Brother Xu is a very simple person.”
“My senior sister’s character is still very good, you can rest assured…”
Li Jingyi was interrupted by Luo Fan’s ringtone in the middle of her speech.
Luo Fan took out his mobile phone and found that it was his mother’s call and quickly answered: “Hey, Mom!”
“Son, next month’s 6th is your dad’s 50th birthday, do you remember?”
Luo Fan was stunned when he heard the words, and then he couldn’t help thinking of the scene of Luo Hai’s 50th birthday in his previous life.
At that time, Luo Fan had just entered his senior year and was considering whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination or go to work.
He came back from work that day and received a call from his father. Luo Hai was already drunk on the phone. He apologized to Luo Fan with a crying voice, saying that he had ruined Luo Fan’s life.
It was only at this time that Luo Fan remembered that today seemed to be his father’s birthday, but before Luo Fan could say happy birthday, his father hung up the phone.
Thinking of this, Luo Fan felt a little uncomfortable, and he said quickly: “Remember, of course I remember.”
“Then do you want to come back?”
“I’ll definitely go back!”
“Bring your girlfriend with you?”
Hearing this, Luo Fan understands. This is to remind him not to forget Luo Hai’s birthday. This is to take the opportunity of his birthday to formally invite Li Jingyi to his house.
“If your girlfriend feels embarrassed, just pull Xiao Zhang over, we’ll settle it, don’t forget it!” Cao Hongying hung up the phone after saying that.
“Have you heard it?” Luo Fan turned to Li Jingyi and asked.
“heard it.”
“What do you think?”
“Go! It’s just a birthday for your dad. As for the fat brother, you can ask the fat brother if he is free!”
Luo Fan nodded and called Zhang Shuai, who was already working in the company.
After he received Luo Fan’s call, he thought about it and agreed.
On Thursday, September 6th, the weather was fine.
Although it is already September, the temperature is still very high, and the sun is so big today.
It was only in the morning, and the sunlight outside was already dazzling. Looking out the window, it seemed that there was a high temperature barrier, making people not want to step out of the house.
On the contrary, the temperature at home, the air conditioner of 26 degrees, is just right.
Luo Fan, Li Jingyi, and Zhang Shuai came back together the day before yesterday. Yesterday, the three of them went to the Nebula Cloud Service Center to inspect the progress of the work.
Then we agreed to come over for lunch today.
In order to welcome Zhang Shuai and Li Jingyi, Cao Hongying filled the coffee table with various snacks, as well as cut watermelon and freshly washed Qingxu grapes.
Usually, Luo Fan gets up late when he is resting.
10:04 Luo Fan came out of the room. As soon as he went out, he smelled the smell of stewed soup from the kitchen, mixed with the smell of boiled sausages. Cold dishes, marinated and hot and sour were already placed on the table. The taste of the seasoning also spread to the living room.
“Leilei, do you think this air conditioner is a little too cold?” Cao Hongying asked with the remote control of the air conditioner.
“It’s not cold, Jingyi is not afraid of cold, but heat.”
“That’s it!” After speaking, Cao Hongying put down the remote control and sat on the sofa.
Luo Fan turned to wash up.
When Luo Fan came back after washing his face, Cao Hongying was gone.
Seeing this, Luo Hai said, “Your mother just sat down for a few seconds and ran to the kitchen to see the soup.”
Luo Fan’s mouth twitched, how could he feel that Cao Hongying was more nervous than Li Jingyi.
It is said that the ugly daughter-in-law is nervous when she sees her parents-in-law, but now Cao Hongying is nervous first.
Luo Fan pouted, too lazy to say anything, just picked up a watermelon and ate it.
Luo Hai glanced at Luo Fan from the corner of his eye, and said without turning his head, “Didn’t you notice? That watermelon was specially placed by your mother, and you would be messed up if you ate a piece. She wouldn’t allow me to eat it. “
Luo Fan didn’t say a word, and took another big bite of the pulp.
Of course Luo Hai can’t eat it. With his family status, why can he eat it?
“Peng Peng…”
There was a knock on the door outside.
Just as Luo Fan stood up, he heard chaotic footsteps in the kitchen, and then saw Cao Hongying wiping her hands on her apron as she walked towards the door.
Luo Hai still didn’t look back, and said calmly, “Mostly Luo Yang came here.”
“Uncle Yang? What is he doing here?”
“I don’t want to see you yet? You found a market for the fruits we made in our town. Luo Yang always wanted to thank you, but he didn’t find a chance. Last night, he said that he would come over for a drink with me on my birthday today. I haven’t yet. Before he could refuse, he hung up the phone.”
After listening to Luo Hai’s words, Luo Fan turned to look at the door.
Sure enough, Luo Yang’s voice sounded at the door: “Sister-in-law, where is my brother?”
Cao Hongying pointed to the living room and returned to the kitchen with a cold face.
Luo Yang was a little confused. Did he do something bad to offend Cao Hongying?
Luo Yang came to the living room full of doubts. He first exchanged a few words with Luo Hai, and then handed Luo Hai the wine in his hand.
Luo Fan glanced at it, ho! Maotai!
“Uncle Yang is thirsty! Eat something…”
“Wait for Jingyi and Zhang Shuai to come to dinner. Don’t move anything on the table.” Before Luo Fan finished speaking, Cao Hongying’s voice floated out of the kitchen.
“Brother, Jingyi is…”
“Xiao Fan’s girlfriend.”
Luo Yang suddenly realized, no wonder Cao Hongying, who has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, has this attitude towards him today. It turned out that he disturbed the daughter-in-law to see her in-laws.
“Cough, what brother, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Let’s drink next time! Xiaofan thank you this time.”
“Uncle Yang, don’t be polite, the family doesn’t speak two languages.”
Luo Yang nodded, turned and left.
Twenty past ten.
“Ding Dong.”
This time the doorbell rang.
Cao Hongying hurried over again.
Luo Hai glanced at Luo Fan, and said slowly, “Zhang Shuai?”
Luo Hai remembered that Zhang Shuai always rang the doorbell when he came to their house.
Cao Hongying opened the door, and it was indeed Zhang Shuai standing at the door.
Cao Hongying asked Luo Fan to call Zhang Shuai, probably considering that this was Li Jingyi’s first visit to Luo Fan’s house. She was afraid that Li Jingyi would be shy, so she asked Luo Fan to call Zhang Shuai as well.
She knew that Zhang Shuai was a mutual friend of Luo Fan and Li Jingyi, and they both worked in Luo Fan’s company. This was too thoughtful for Li Jingyi, and Luo Fan felt a little jealous.
It just shows that Cao Hongying doesn’t know much about Li Jingyi’s character!
Is Li Jingyi the kind of person who can be shy?
Luo Fan and Zhang Shuai chatted for a while, then looked at the phone and found that it was ten forty-five, and it was almost time for Li Jingyi to arrive at the community.
Luo Fan put away his phone, got up and walked out.
Seeing this, Luo Hai put down the hand that was wrapped around his chest, sat up straight, and moved his **** forward, posing as the head of the family.
A few minutes later, Luo Fan brought Li Jingyi back.
Cao Hongying poked her head out of the kitchen with a bright smile: “It’s so early! Hurry up and sit down and play for a while, the meal has to wait for a while… Why are you still carrying something!”
“Passing by, I just bought some fruit, and the beef jerky that my dad brought to NMG before. They asked me to bring it.” Li Jingyi said with a smile.
“Thank you, then!” Cao Hongying said while taking the bag from Li Jingyi’s hand.
“It’s hot outside, there’s iced watermelon on the table,” Luo Fan said.
Li Jingyi ignored Luo Fan and asked Cao Hongying, “Auntie? Do you want to help?”
“No, no! Your uncle will come to help me later! Just go and play with Luo Fan and Xiao Zhang!”
“Mom, give me the stuff.” Luo Fan took the bag from Cao Hongying’s hand, glanced inside, and found that it was really beef jerky.
“You really brought beef jerky!”
“Can’t you bring it?”
Luo Fan shook his head and said nothing.
After putting down the things, Luo Fan took Li Jingyi to the living room.
“Hello uncle! Happy birthday!” Li Jingyi greeted obediently.
“You’re fine too.” Luo Hai pretended to be reserved.
Li Jingyi turned her head and glanced at the TV show and said with a smile, “Uncle and my dad also watch the news at home every day, and I like to watch it too!”
“…”
Soon, Li Jingyi and Luo Hai chatted about the general trend of the world.
Zhang Shuai and Luo Fan sat beside him in a daze.
When Luo Hai was called to the kitchen by Cao Hongying, Li Jingyi ate a fan of watermelon and turned her head, only to notice Zhang Shuai.
“Yeah! Fat brother, you actually arrived before me?”
“I know Xiao Luo’s family, and I’ve been here many times. It’s natural to arrive before you, right?”
After chatting about the game for a while, the two finally had dinner.
Li Jingyi followed Luo Fan to get the bowl and the kuaizi again, not at all restrained.
After the start of the table, Li Jingyi’s character itself is relatively detached. Coupled with the recent tempering of “being in a high position”, her eloquence has soared, and Cao Hongying was coaxed to the point of two or two sentences.
After dinner, she took the initiative to clean up the bowls quickly, looking like a good girl.
After four o’clock in the afternoon, the weather was not very hot, and Luo Fan sent away the hot Li Jingyi who was chatting with Cao Hongying.
After he came back, he thought silently whether he should write down Li Jingyi’s performance today and leave it for future research. After all, he will go to Li Jingyi’s house sooner or later.
When Luo Fan returned home, Cao Hongying glanced at him and said, “Leilei, you say that you are all the same age, why is the gap so big! Look at Jingyi, and look at how you behave in the world. .”
Luo Fan used to go in with his left ear and go out with his right ear. He was used to this kind of thing.
…
On September 7, it was cloudy, with a little wind, and the weather was relatively cool.
Originally, Luo Fan thought about going back to Shanghai today, but Li Jingyi said he wanted to take him to meet someone very important to him. Luo Fan nodded and agreed immediately after hearing the words. He knew who Li Jingyi was talking about, and Li Jingyi said in his previous life that he would take him with him. He came to see him, but he never had a chance, and he couldn’t miss anything in this life.
This morning, Luo Fan came to Li Jingyi’s community, picked up Li Jingyi and drove to Xishan.
There is a large cemetery in Xishan, which can be said to be the cleanest place in their city.
Every year except for Qingming, it is very clean when you come, and it is the same now, so that there are only a few cars parked in the huge parking lot, and no one even pays.
Li Jingyi walked at the forefront, her footsteps were brisk, and she could not see any bad emotions.
She jumped up a flight of steps with a puff of smoke, and then looked back at Luo Fan: “Hurry up!”
Luo Fan silently accelerated his pace.
There was a turbulent mountain wind blowing the ends of the girl’s hair, and Luo Fan noticed that Li Jingyi’s expression under the hair was not as brisk as her movements.
While walking, Li Jingyi folded a straight branch out of nowhere, holding it in her hand and dancing wildly.
Some unknown grass grows along the road ahead.
The most common grass has only one main stem, which is tall and straight, and can even grow to a height of more than one meter. It is a very common weed.
Li Jingyi swung the wooden branch in her hand—the tip of the weed was cut off.
When Li Jingyi is in a bad mood, she always likes to distract herself in some strange ways, but now she is obviously focusing on the grass in the mountains.
Luo Fan didn’t stop her either, because Luo Fan knew that the person in the cemetery was very important to Li Jingyi.
Li Jingyi was waving the branches along the way. The movements seemed intentional, but they were actually inattentive.
The two walked up step by step like this, and after about ten minutes, they finally came to the Xishan Cemetery.
“It’s here!” Li Jingyi threw the wooden stick and clapped her hands and walked into the cemetery.
She led the way in front of her, walking past one grave after another, and finally stood in front of a grave named Li Jingyue.
Luo Fan glanced at the photo on the tombstone. The girl in the photo was estimated to be 12 or 3 years old, with a pair of ponytails. She looked 7 points similar to Li Jingyi, and her smile looked extremely sweet.
