Yang Ming and Xiao Qing went out of the hospital. As they strolled around the hospital, they felt a little cold, so they got in the car.
“Let us find a place to eat something, anyway. You have already drawn blood for the test,” suggested Yang Ming.
For Xiao Qing’s blood test just now, neither of them had breakfast, so they were starving at the moment.
“Okay, then eat something first.” Xiao Qing nodded and agreed.
“What do you want to eat?” asked Yang Ming.
“Let’s have some hot porridge,” said Xiao Qing.
Hence, Yang Ming drove the car and turned aimlessly on the side of the road. They saw a porridge store at last. It looked pretty good, so Yang Ming parked the car in front of the porridge store, and got off with Xiao Qing.
The porridge store was an early morning stall of Song Jiang that emerged not long ago. Generally, it was more common in the south. However, when it came to Song Jiang, it had improved a lot according to the taste of the people here. It had lost some of its sweet taste so that the porridge was not so greasy. With that, it was also welcomed by the public.
This porridge store was similar to KFC’s marketing model. It was like a fast-food chain shop where the customer would pay for food at the counter. Then, they would grab the ordered food and sit at any seats.
Yang Ming and Xiao Qing ordered a bowl of plain porridge. They also ordered a few special dishes. Then, they held their trays to find their seats. Since it was now nine o’clock in the morning, many people came to eat early. They scanned around the lobby and didn’t find any free seats. They could only find a four-person seat with only two people and sat at the same table with them.
Yang Ming put down the tray and sat opposite the middle-aged couple alongside with Xiao Qing. Yang Ming brought the porridge on the tray to Xiao Qing and said, “Qing Qing, be careful.”
” En .” Xiao Qing pursed her lips and smiled happily, although her relationship with Yang Ming was not great, she enjoyed Yang Ming’s care.
“You… you are Xiao Qing?” The young woman sitting opposite Yang Ming and Xiao Qing looked up with some hesitation and looked at Xiao Qing.
” Ah !” Xiao Qing looked at them. She felt the woman seemed quite familiar, but she couldn’t remember in a while. “You are…”
“I am Zhang Yue. Are you really Xiao Qing? We were college classmates in the same bedroom!” Zhang Yue said with some excitement.
“Zhang Yue! It’s you!” Xiao Qing finally recognized the other person. She saw some traces of memories on her face.
“What a coincidence!” Zhang Yue nodded and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so well maintained. You are the same as seven or eight years ago. I saw you, but I didn’t dare to call you. I thought it was your sister!”
After listening to Zhang Yue’s appreciation, Xiao Qing was pleased and said, “Zhang Yue, you are not bad as well. You don’t look like a thirty-year-old!”
” Hehe , I still had this self-confidence at first. I feel that I am very young, but now, it is far inferior to you!” Zhang Yue shook her head and smiled.
“Right, don’t you want to introduce me?” Xiao Qing pointed to the man next to Zhang Yue and asked, “When is the marriage? Why you didn’t tell me?”
“My hubby, Bao Shuping,” said Zhang Yue. “I got married three years ago. I looked for you, but after that incident, you lost contact with our classmates. I couldn’t find you… On the other hand, you seemed to find someone who gives you happiness. Don’t you want to introduce him to this sister? Aren’t you a bit too much?”
Xiao Qing heard Zhang Yue’s words and smiled in embarrassment. Indeed, since the incident with Song Hang spread out, Xiao Qing closed herself up and rarely contacted her former friends and classmates. She even did not visit the alumni record.
“I only met Qing Qing last year. We have just registered, but we have not prepared a banquet yet. I will inform you when the time comes.” Yang Ming saw Xiao Qing was a little embarrassed, so he explained in her shoes, “Let me introduce myself. I am Yang Ming. I only do some small business.”
Yang Ming did not mention his identity as a student, because his role right now beside Xiao Qing was the same age as Xiao Qing, so Yang Ming directly spoke about his career.
“It seems he treats you very well!” Zhang Yue saw Yang Ming opened his mouth first, so she smiled at Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing did not expect Yang Ming to say this, but since he had already spoken out, Xiao Qing could no longer deny it. She only said, ” En , our relationship is not bad. Right, you are now…?”
“Still in Mount Jing. I stayed there after graduation. Shuping is also there.” Zhang Yue said, “Song Jiang is about to hold an international jewelry exhibition. Shuping’s company is doing jewelry. I accompanied him to book the venue in advance, but I did not expect to meet an acquaintance…”
When she spoke of this, Zhang Yue’s tone seemed to be proud. Even in front of a good friend, a woman loved her face. When she said that her lover had a jewelry company, Zhang Yue felt very fulfilled.
Especially in the face of Xiao Qing, who was younger and more beautiful than her, a little showing off could still satisfy her vanity. After all, she saw that Yang Ming’s outfit was ordinary and nothing special. Yang Ming had also said before that just had a small business. They were obviously not very rich.
It was not that Zhang Yue looked down on Xiao Qing, she said that instinctually.
“That is not bad!” Xiao Qing was not short of money. Hence, after listening to Zhang Yue’s words, she did not feel anything wrong. However, Zhang Yue really thought that she had a good husband.
Zhang Yue smiled and thought that Xiao Qing was envious of her, and her heart was full of pride.
Zhang Yue was happy, but Bao Shuping was not very happy at the moment and even had some concerns. He and Zhang Yue came to Song Jiang the day before yesterday. Bao Shuping immediately went to the venue of the exhibition to book a sales location. Bao Shuping’s company was still quite large. Hence, he wanted a better showcase, but after he went there, he found out that many good showcases were not rented out. Ming Yang Entertainment, which was responsible for the operation of the exhibition was also quite overbearing. They said directly to Bao Shuping that there were no better locations, only the other ones.
Bao Shuping was also a character in Mount Jing. He had some social connections. Hence, he was angry. He immediately said something ruthless, let the operators wait and see. He would teach them a lesson someday. The other party only gave a sneer.
In Bao Shuping’s opinion, Song Jiang and Mount Jing were very close. His network should be able to reach here. It was just a small entertainment company and not a big deal. He would just ask someone to teach them some lessons.
However, this morning, Bao Shuping’s connection replied to him. The background of Ming Yang Entertainment was explained to Bao Shuping entirely. He simply told Bao Shuping that he could do nothing.
Bao Shuping was scared when he heard it. He didn’t expect the operator to have such power and background. He was boasting in front of others to teach them a lesson someday!
Bao Shuping was afraid of attracting revenge. It didn’t matter if they did not rent the venue to him. He was worried that the other party would not let go of him and would suffer terribly. Therefore, Bao Shuping intended to finish breakfast after a while, and then go to the exhibition office to apologize. Of course, to avoid Zhang Yue being worried, Bao Shuping did not tell her about it.
Zhang Yue thought that Bao Shuping’s connection had progressed and let them select the venue today! How did she know there were such twists and turns?
However, since it was Zhang Yue’s classmate, Bao Shuping couldn’t show his own worries. He had to put up a smile and deal with it. “Bao Shuping. I have a jewelry business. I am very glad to meet you!”
The four people had finished eating and went out of the porridge store. Yang Ming and Xiao Qing had nothing to do, so they suggested visiting the exhibition with Zhang Yue and Bao Shuping. Zhang Yue naturally agreed to it. She wanted to show off in front of Xiao Qing how powerful Bao Shuping was. He was far away from Mount Jing, yet he could build a relationship in Song Jiang and book a good location.
Zhang Yue thought that Yang Ming was only doing a small business, but did not expect Yang Ming and Xiao Qing to drive up in a BMW X5 with the license plate of “88B88.” They were shocked at once. Zhang Yue and Bao Shuping often mingled in the upper class. They knew the meaning of this car. In other words, Yang Ming’s connections in Song Jiang could be said to be powerful. Otherwise, he would not dare to drive a branded car on the road. If he didn’t have such a capability, driving this car would cause others to despise him.
Even Bao Shuping was surprised. Looking at the BMW X5 behind his Mercedes-Benz, he asked in amazement, “Zhang Yue, what does your classmate’s family do?”
“Xiao Qing’s parents are not there. It should be not related… I don’t know about her husband. It is my first time meeting him.” Zhang Yue shook her head and said.
“We can’t drive this kind of license plate in Mount Jing. My car plate number was bought from a tractor brand with a lot of money from the auction house. I think this Yang Ming is not as simple as a small businessman,” said Bao Shuping.
“Yeah…” Zhang Yue was a little flushed. She was boasting just now, but she didn’t expect that they were modest yet really bad*ss.
“But, having them go with us is great. We can see if they can speak up for us.” Bao Shuping didn’t want to have Yang Ming and Xiao Qing to follow, but now, he saw Yang Ming’s car and connected it to Yang Ming’s identity. He had changed his mind. Yang Ming probably knew the organizers, and Bao Shuping just had a verbal conflict with the organizer. With Yang Ming mediating in the middle, things could be turned around.
“Speak up for us? What are you saying?” Zhang Yue was somewhat inexplicable.
“Some things that I didn’t dare tell you before, but now that I am visiting the place, I will just tell you!” Bao Shuping had no choice but to tell Zhang Yue.
” Ah !” Zhang Yue suddenly changed her facial expression in surprise, “You are saying we have offended the local gang?”
“It’s not that serious. Ming Yang has already bleached their company. However, they also indirectly control Song Jiang’s underground forces. If I apologize in a while, they probably won’t do anything to us. After all, they are now a regular company,” said Bao Shuping.
Yang Ming and Xiao Qing went out of the hospital. As they strolled around the hospital, they felt a little cold, so they got in the car.
“Let us find a place to eat something, anyway. You have already drawn blood for the test,” suggested Yang Ming.
