Yellow: 003 Better to see each other than not to see each other 3(1/2)
San Francisco, a city with more than 300,000 chain hotels around the world, is so beautiful and prosperous that people can’t help but marvel and look at it.
The black car parked aggressively at the door. Soon the doorman ran over, took the key from Qiao Mingchu's hand, and respectfully drove the car into the VIP parking space in the parking lot.
Qiao Mingchu walked straight into the hotel door. The senior executives who had been waiting here rushed over quickly when they saw a familiar figure.
"President!"
"How is the situation at the branch?"
"We are already checking the accounts, and we will probably see the data tonight. As for the Yellow River construction project, I have already sent someone to contact the mt group. I believe we will get a reply soon."
The executive followed Qiao Mingchu's footsteps, walking behind him, and responded quickly. He couldn't hear the reply from the man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sick in his heart.
"Financial data, hand it in before dinner today."
Qiao Mingchu's words made the executive walking behind startled. He took two quick steps forward and said tentatively, "President, today is the first day in the United States. Here at the company, a few of us will give you a visit in the busiest bar.
We have prepared a reception banquet, look..."
"No need, I'll report the financial data today, and we can have the feast another day."
Qiao Mingchu quickly interrupted and stopped at the door of the prepared room.
"Yes, I'll get ready right away."
When the executive heard this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to leave.
"Let someone prepare a gift for me. I'm going to attend a wedding in two days."
"yes!"
The executive replied, and when he looked up, Qiao Mingchu's figure had already entered the room.
During dinner, the executives quickly sent over the compiled financial data. Qiao Mingchu watched until late into the night, easing his sore forehead. The mobile phone on the table rang rapidly, and the name flashed on the screen.
Qiao Mingchu's wrinkled forehead relaxed a little.
"You rarely call me anymore!"
"When you come to America, as brothers, shouldn't you do your best to be landlords?"
Ouyang Yi's voice was still as unserious as before, but it lacked a trace of kindness. Qiao Mingchu didn't care. They had known each other for many years since childhood, but in the past two years, he had become more and more alienated from him. I wonder if it was because of the National People's Congress.
, it’s easy to have worries, and so does he.
"You are going to be a groom soon, why would you want to leave your bride? Be careful if you neglect her, she will not want you anymore."
Qiao Mingchu said, leaning back and lazily leaning on the leather chair behind him.
"Binghan is not that kind of woman. She doesn't care about this. Besides, she took a rest early in the morning and hasn't seen her for a long time. Let's go out for a drink!"
Ouyang Yi's voice was a little urgent, but also a little forbearing, and the last one was so suppressed that Qiao Mingchu couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other in the past three years. When did you become so nervous about a woman? Even I, my brother, have probably put you in the back of the queue!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, but there was only a slight pause before Ouyang Yi's voice was heard again.
"Come out quickly, I'll wait for you at the old place!"
After saying that, Ouyang Yi hung up the phone. Qiao Mingchu glanced at the phone in front of him, couldn't help but shook his head with a chuckle, stood up, picked up the coat scattered beside him, and walked out quickly.
The city that never sleeps in the United States, the night scene is very beautiful, and San Francisco under the neon lights becomes even more charming and alluring.
Qiao Mingchu drove and found the bar familiarly. After several years of baptism, the things inside had long been replaced with the latest equipment, and even the layout had changed. Under the leadership of the adaptable students, Qiao Mingchu found the bar in a corner.
In the card room, I found Ouyang Yi, who was drinking red wine alone.
"It's really strange. What's happened to you in the past few years? When I came to the United States for a business trip, you couldn't bear to see me. What happened today? You took the initiative to ask me out."
After not seeing each other for three years, Qiao Mingchu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his little brother again.
The four brothers met each other when Qiao Mingchu was young and his mother took him to the United States to do volunteer work. They were all young men at that time, but they had a very similar fate. The four of them had the best relationship, and he was the third oldest.
, but because he is the second young master in the Qiao family, Lin Yixuan always likes to call him Qiao Er, while Ouyang Yi is the youngest among them and the luckiest one.
Qiao Mingchu hit Ouyang Yi on the shoulder with his boxer, and then sat down on the sofa nearby.
"You have to see what you should see sooner or later. Doesn't this call you to come out and apologize today?"
There was an unnatural smile on Ouyang Yi's face, and the red wine in his hand swayed due to Qiao Mingchu's punch and dripped onto the back of his hand.
He bent down and picked up a piece of paper, quickly wiped off the alcohol on the back of his hand, and placed the folder in front of Qiao Mingchu.
"I know the purpose of your coming to the United States this time. Yellow River Construction has a relationship with the Ouyang family, so I got the contract for you. You can take a look. If you are willing, you can ask them to formally sign the contract another day."
Ouyang Yi's words made Qiao Mingchu in front of him raise his eyebrows, but he didn't answer it immediately. The expression on his face changed from the relaxed one to something strange.
"Ouyang, I haven't seen you for three years, you have changed!"
"Everyone has to grow up. Why would the third brother say that? Is there anything wrong with me helping my brother?"
The power of the Qiao family and the Ling family have always been in China, but Ouyang and the Ling family are different. One of them is in the United States, and the other is in France and Singapore. The problem that Qiao Mingchu has in the branch this time happens to be within the scope of Ouyang Yi.
Qiao Mingchu's difficult matter, but to the Ouyang family, it is just a matter of words.
"There's nothing wrong, and I want to thank you. But, Ouyang, are you hiding something from me?"
As for Ouyang Yi, they hadn't seen each other for three years. His sudden change, alienation and defensiveness made Qiao Mingchu have to doubt. Of course, he was not doubting the brotherly relationship between them, because it could not be broken up. His strange
, it was Ouyang Yi's attitude towards himself, as if he couldn't leave the United States immediately.
"How come, you are thinking too much. I just feel that our brothers have not seen each other for three years. Before you came to the United States, I was delayed because of some things. So now I think about it, I am also getting married. I can't be so divorced."
You’re sensible, so I heard that your branch had a problem this time, so I wanted to help, but I didn’t expect that it made you think too much.”
As Ouyang Yi spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip unnaturally. His eyes began to wander around, refusing to fall on Qiao Mingchu.
"Ouyang, this doesn't look like you!"
Qiao Mingchu took the document bag from Ouyang Yi's hand and threw it on the table in front of him without looking at it. He leaned lazily on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "You look like you have a guilty conscience.
It’s like you’ve done something to apologize to me.”
puff……
The red wine that had not been swallowed in his mouth spurted out and hit Ouyang Yi's nose. Suddenly the red wine sprayed all over his face along his nose and mouth. He looked embarrassed and weird. His handsome face was directly hit by his sip of red wine.
His image was ruined.
"Third brother, you..."
"Just kidding, why are you so nervous? Is it true?"
Qiao Mingchu couldn't help but be amused by Ouyang Yi's appearance. His face lost the original solemn expression and looked more humane. And his face was even more panicked, for the first time in three years.
smile.
"Are you kidding? Really, I have it."
He quickly pulled out the tissue paper on the side, wiped the red wine on his face randomly, and finally couldn't help but look angrily at Qiao Mingchu in front of him. The guilt in his heart also turned into nothing at this moment.
"It's okay if you don't have it. I've accepted the things. When you get engaged, I will definitely pack a bigger gift for you."
Qiao Mingchu said, picked up the document bag on the table and put it beside him without looking at it.
"No, you don't have to give it away."
Ouyang Yi wiped the red wine off his face and said again, but his words surprised Qiao Mingchu.
"What do you mean? Why don't I send it."
"It's nothing, I just think that none of us have children, and you are the only one who has children. Of course, your burden will be heavier!"
Ouyang Yi said without hesitation, and almost couldn't help but spit out the truth. But after so many years, he was surprised whether he still cared so much about the person back then.
"Third brother, I'm about to get married. Do you want to find one too? Let me introduce you to a woman. She is very beautiful and on point. You will definitely like her."
Ouyang Yi returned to his previous lack of seriousness, and quickly approached Qiao Mingchu and said, but Qiao Mingchu couldn't help but give him a blank look.
"Does it mean that if you get married, I will also get married? Besides, I don't need a woman now, so it's more appropriate for you to keep it for yourself!"
"It's impossible. I'm already frozen. No matter how good a woman is, she can't get into my eyes."
Ouyang Yi said proudly, as if he had picked up some big treasure.
"You can't speak without the name Binghan. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of woman this is that can make Master Ouyang, who has never been serious, take her so seriously."
As soon as Qiao Mingchu mentioned Leng Binghan, Ouyang Yi subconsciously wanted to escape. He laughed dryly and said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's nothing. She is very ordinary."
"Okay, I've also had a drink with you. I will attend your engagement ceremony on time. I'm going to rest on my first day here."
Qiao Mingchu drank all the glass of red wine in front of him, then stood up, picked up the document bag beside him and left.
"Third brother, tell me if you hate me!"
Before leaving, Ouyang Yi on the sofa suddenly spoke.
"Why should I hate you, Ouyang, you are really weird today!"
Qiao Mingchu said sincerely that he really didn't know if it was because they had not seen each other for three years and their personalities had changed, so he felt that Ouyang Yi today and Ouyang Yi three years ago were completely different.
"It's nothing, I'm just talking. I was just thinking that I am the youngest among us, but I was the first to get married. Will you hate me because you are jealous of me?"
Ouyang Yi said nonchalantly, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
