Chapter 89 Gentle pressure
Xu Duanran sat next to Yan Hui, her body upright and her hands on her knees, like a primary school student in training.
After Qinglian moved out of the school, the venue was bigger and there were more people.
Yan Hui originally planned to go upstairs and take a look before leaving.
But Xia Xingruo showed up and took the initiative to invite them upstairs to have a drink of water and take a rest.
Like a hostess, she bustled around the room entertaining them.
Others had no objections to Xia Xingruo's orders and actively cooperated.
When Xu Duanran was stunned, Xia Xingruo took the initiative to take a bottle of yogurt and handed it to her.
"Sister, drink this."
Seeing the smile on Xia Xingruo's face, Xu Duanran opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
She remembered that when Zhang Mingyang introduced her last time, he said she was his sister.
Now she and Aunt Yan came together to find Zhang Mingyang, thus confirming her identity as sister.
She wanted to say, I am not Zhang Mingyang's sister, but the words came to her lips only into two words.
"Thank you." Xu Duanran took the yogurt.
What's the use of saying it now?
She prepared tea for other elders, but gave her a bottle of yogurt, looking like she was coaxing a child.
In front of Xia Xingruo, Xu Duanran felt unprecedented pressure.
She had never seen such a down-to-earth woman.
It stands to reason that such a kind person will only give people a feeling of spring breeze, not pressure.
But seeing Xia Xingruo, Xu Duanran unconsciously began to compare himself with her, and the pressure naturally came.
We just met in the computer room last time, and today is the first formal communication.
"Classmate, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work. We'll sit down for a while and then leave."
"I'm not busy now, Auntie, just call me Ruoruo." Xia Xingruo took the initiative to help several people fill up their cups with tea.
When Xia Xingruo bent down to pour tea, Yan Hui was also secretly observing the beautiful girl in front of her.
The girl has soft facial features, beautiful black hair, and a pair of watery eyes like clear springs.
There is a hint of elegance in every move she makes, and every move she makes when pouring tea is so perfect that it's hard to fault her.
Yan Hui and Zhang Guowei started from scratch, and the two bosses never cared about these etiquettes.
But now that I have money, I start seeing more people. I don’t usually eat pork, but I see pigs running around every day.
She can be sure that the girl in front of her has a family background that is definitely not simple.
I don’t know where my son got to know such a lady, and he was able to keep her in the company and even let her cook.
Yan Hui already had the answer in her heart.
But now that Ranran is still next to her, she can't directly ask Xia Xingruo, what is your relationship with my son.
If she said directly: "Auntie, I am your son's girlfriend."
Then what would Ranran think?
But even if she didn't ask, Xia Xingruo's every move was already a silent announcement.
Yan Hui glanced at Ran Ran with her peripheral vision and found that the little girl was staring at the yogurt in her hand in a daze.
Zhang Guowei on the side didn't seem to understand the situation, and asked with a smile: "Ruoruo, your tea making skills are very good, who taught you."
Xia Xingruo put down the teapot and sat on the sofa next to a few people: "My father usually likes to drink tea at home. I watched it a few times and remembered a lot. Don't be surprised if he doesn't make it well."
"If you're not good at this, I won't even notice." Zhang Guowei understood that this was a girl's modesty, and you can't learn every move just by looking at it.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Good tea!"
Sun Hongye on the side also nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed good tea."
Some time ago, Zhang Mingyang brought him two bags of tea, which were worth a lot of money. He had never been willing to drink them, but he didn't expect to drink them here today.
"Since when did Yangyang still have such taste?"
Zhang Guowei was puzzled. He knew his son. This boy never liked drinking tea. Even when he drank tea, he would just pick up the cup and drink it. He also disliked the small size of his cup.
"Ruoruo, you brought this, right?" He put down the tea cup and asked proactively.
Xia Xingruo did not directly answer Zhang Guowei's question. She poured tea for him again: "Uncle, if you like it, I will buy it and mail it to your home another day."
"No, no, I can just come and have a sip of tea, I won't bother you." Zhang Guowei waved his hand and refused.
"Uncles and aunts are welcome to come over at any time." Xia Xingruo filled Yan Hui's tea cup again.
Seeing Xia Xingruo stand up, Yan Hui quickly stood up as well.
"Ruoruo, you don't have to take care of us. Go eat quickly. It's getting late, so we should go find Yangyang." She spoke softly. After speaking, she turned back and glanced at Zhang Guowei, who was still drinking tea.
Thinking of his wife's eagerness to see his son, Zhang Guowei quickly put down his teacup.
"It's getting late. You call the second sister and ask if she's at her place. We'll go directly there." After saying that, he looked at Xia Xingruo again: "I'll drink the tea you made when uncle comes next time."
"Welcome anytime." Xia Xingruo smiled and nodded.
Before leaving, she gave another bag of the company's tea to Zhang Guowei.
"Uncle, take it first, and I'll mail it to you after you finish."
"How is this appropriate?"
After several shirks, Zhang Guowei reluctantly accepted the tea. Xia Xingruo said it was Zhang Mingyang's share and told him to accept it with confidence.
When Zhang Guowei shied away, Sun Hongye looked at the tea leaves with eyes burning.
Don’t give it to me!
At first, he thought it was Zhang Mingyang who prepared it, but today he found out that the tea was actually prepared by Xia Xingruo. It was probably the girl's intention to send them tea.
It's great to have such a daughter-in-law, Sun Hongye sighed in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about complimenting others again, he planned to talk to Zhang Mingyang's parents about praising their daughter-in-law, but when the words came to his lips, he held back.
The clever Dean Sun noticed that Zhang Mingyang's mother looked a little unhappy after she came out?
He didn't know what happened either.
Not satisfied with having such a wonderful daughter-in-law? It’s hard to guess a woman’s heart.
...
The company has been spending a lot of money recently, including advertising fees on various platforms, the cost of shooting promotional videos, staff salaries, etc.
Zhang Mingyang originally wanted to go back to work after filming the promotional video, but in the afternoon he received a call from Yan Rong saying that the end of the month was coming and he needed to reconcile his accounts.
Yan Rong planned to come to Platinum Lake in person.
But Zhang Mingyang thought that his second aunt helped him last time but didn't thank her, so this time she just came to thank her.
So in the afternoon he took Shi Mingli to the accounting firm to find Yan Rong.
It just so happens that I can also report the expenses of Teacher Shi and Teacher Cheng's "publicly-funded travel".
Reconciling the accounts was a troublesome task, and it took the two of them the entire afternoon.
He began to lament again that there were really not enough manpower, and the boss had to do things like reconciliation himself.
When checking the accounts, Zhang Mingyang asked Yan Rong if she had time tonight and wanted to treat their family to dinner.
Just after he finished speaking, the second aunt gave him a very puzzled look and said, "Aren't we supposed to have dinner together tonight?"
"ah?"
Only then did Zhang Mingyang know that his parents had come to Laijiang without telling him.
It's true that these two of them like to hide it from themselves.
He continued to check the accounts and wanted to see when his parents would come over to give him a surprise. He pretended to be surprised and said: "Wow, what a surprise!"
Just as he thought, the surprise came soon.
But it was more like a shock than a surprise.
Brother Ji sent him a text message saying that his parents brought Xu Duanran to Platinum Lake.
Zhang Mingyang suddenly remembered his birthday last month.
