Chapter 612 Taste
After staying in Pengcheng for a few days, Song Yuanchao was ready to leave. He went to Yangcheng first. The negotiations in Yangcheng had come to an end. After receiving Song Yuanchao's notice in Jinling, Ruth officially set off for Yangcheng. They would meet in Yangcheng and then attend the signing ceremony for Sit Company's investment and factory construction in Yangcheng.
On the day of leaving Pengcheng, Song Yuanchao, Qin Zhengguo and Li Daqi had a drink together. They were all friends and partners for many years, so they drank very casually and there was no such thing as urging people to drink or toasting. Everyone drank as much as they wanted and it was enough. The most important thing was to have fun.
Halfway through the drink, Song Yuanchao asked Li Daqi a few questions about the work arrangements at Shenghua Telecom. Li Daqi confidently told Song Yuanchao not to worry, as he would also set off north in a few days to start the follow-up work with his team.
After giving Li Daqi a few instructions, Song Yuanchao's eyes inadvertently swept to the side, and he was slightly startled when he saw a white hand-knitted scarf hanging on the side. Pengcheng is located in the south, and although it is still spring, the weather is no longer cold. It is okay to walk outside in short sleeves at noon, and the temperature can still be over ten degrees at night.
But today Li Daqi was wearing a scarf, and it was a wool scarf, which made Song Yuanchao very strange.
Is this guy imitating Xu Wenqiang, wearing a scarf and showing off? But that's not right! This TV series hasn't been released yet. Song Yuanchao remembers that it will be released in mainland China next year. After it is released, this TV series will be a sensation across the country and even attract thousands of people when it is broadcast.
Then a trend will arise in society, which is to wear a suit or Zhongshan suit like Xu Wenqiang in the TV series, and then hang a long white scarf around the neck that almost reaches the shoe surface. It would be even better if you also hold a cigarette in your mouth and wear a top hat.
"Where did you get this scarf? Did you buy it?" Song Yuanchao asked in confusion, and took it off casually: "I don't need to wear this thing in this temperature, right? No... Why is this scarf...?"
Li Daqi didn't pay attention for a moment, and when he came to his senses, Song Yuanchao had already taken off the scarf and held it in his hand.
Song Yuanchao picked up the scarf and realized at first glance that this scarf was definitely not bought, because there were obvious traces of hand-knitting on it, and the level of hand-knitting was really not very good. There were very obvious missed stitches in many places. If it was put in a store, not to mention selling it, customers would curse as soon as they saw it.
After asking half a sentence casually, Song Yuanchao suddenly came back to his senses. At this time, Li Daqi's face looked a little embarrassed, and Song Yuanchao immediately realized that his guess was correct.
"Haha, is this a gift from your partner?"
Song Yuanchao asked with a smile.
Li Daqi was speechless, and Qin Zhengguo beside her immediately became interested and asked, "Is it true? Was it given to you by your boyfriend? Why did I suddenly think of giving you a scarf? Let me see, let me see..."
"What are you looking at? Give it to me!" Before Qin Zhengguo could reach out to take the scarf from Song Yuanchao's hand, Li Daqi on the side hurriedly snatched it back, then carefully folded it and put it aside.
"Why are you so stingy? You're making a fuss about a scarf?" Qin Zhengguo laughed when he saw how nervous he was.
Rolling his eyes at him, Li Daqi said, "What do you mean by a scarf? This is something my girlfriend knitted for me. It's a love scarf, don't you understand? If it was given to you by Caixia, you would be more nervous than I am."
"Tsk tsk, it's a love brand, but I think it's also a warmth brand. Daqi, do you feel warm when you wear it?" Qin Zhengguo laughed.
"Ce na!" Li Daqi cursed as soon as he opened his mouth, his face turning red. Seeing that Li Daqi was about to get angry if he continued talking, Song Yuanchao hurriedly tried to smooth things over, and only then did the embarrassed Li Daqi return to normal.
"By the way, Daqi, I'm leaving tomorrow, and you haven't met your girlfriend yet. When will you bring her out for us to meet?" Song Yuanchao asked with a smile. Of course, he would not tell Li Daqi that he and Qin Zhengguo had already met his girlfriend, and they had followed Li Daqi to meet her. Wouldn't he be asking for a beating if he said that?
"Well... next time... next time..." Li Daqi scratched his head.
"Don't do it next time! It's still early today, why don't you make a phone call and ask someone to come over and sit with you?" Qin Zhengguo came up with a bad idea.
Li Daqi's hands immediately made a stroke-like gesture: "No, no, she's shy. Besides, our relationship has just been established. Let's wait until next time. Next time, prepare well, and I will definitely bring her out to meet her."
"You kid..." Qin Zhengguo was a little unhappy. Just as he was about to say something, Song Yuanchao on the side gave him a look, so he swallowed back what he was about to say.
"Okay! It's settled. I must meet my brother and sister-in-law next time."
Seeing Song Yuanchao say this, Li Daqi was relieved and nodded immediately, "Of course, of course, I will bring her out to see you next time... No! Yuanchao, what did you say just now? Sister-in-law? You should figure it out, okay? I am one month older than you, okay? How can I be your sister-in-law? She is obviously your sister-in-law!"
"The same, haha, all the same..." Song Yuanchao didn't expect that this guy still remembered this at this time. Seeing that he didn't get the advantage, he immediately laughed and tried to get away with it.
Worried that Li Daqi would not give up, Song Yuanchao smiled and asked, "Your partner treats you well and even knits a scarf for you?"
"That's right!" Li Daqi's face was filled with happiness, and he said proudly: "I told her a few days ago that I would be going on a business trip to the north in a few days. As soon as I said that, she took it to heart. She specially asked someone to teach her how to knit a scarf, and stayed up late to knit a scarf for me. She said that the weather in the north is cold, and I should keep warm outside. This afternoon... hehe... I just received it this afternoon..."
As he spoke, Li Daqi couldn't help but grin. His smile made Song Yuanchao sigh in his heart, this is love!
Last time, he followed Li Daqi and met Zheng Li. Afterwards, Song Yuanchao also got to know Zheng Li from the side.
It turns out that this girl who is in love with Li Daqi is really good. Although she is just a working girl, she graduated from high school. From this point of view, she is much better than many working girls. More importantly , Zheng Li and Li Daqi are serious. Until now, Zheng Li still doesn't know Li Daqi's true identity and thinks that Li Daqi is just a driver who helps her boss drive.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Zheng Li to treat Li Daqi so well and consider Li Daqi's perspective in everything. Deep down, Song Yuanchao was happy for Li Daqi.
But there is also a question, how long does Li Daqi intend to keep this secret from Zheng Li? As their relationship deepens, sooner or later Zheng Li will know about this. What will be Zheng Li's reaction once she knows Li Daqi's true identity? Song Yuan Chaoshi was worried about him.
But think about it, Li Daqi is not a child, it is difficult for outsiders to interfere in such emotional affairs. Song Yuanchao only hopes that Li Daqi can be happy and this relationship can be fulfilled.
Since Song Yuanchao was going to Yangcheng the next day, the dinner was not held too late, and it ended at around ten o'clock. He had a good night's sleep. The next day, Song Yuanchao did not ask Qin Zhengguo and Li Daqi to see him off. Shenghua's driver drove him to Yangcheng. He would stay in Yangcheng for a few days. After the signing ceremony was completed, he would arrange the follow-up work at the Yangcheng branch and then return to Jinling.
Not long after Song Yuanchao left, Li Daqi was also about to leave.
The day before leaving, Li Daqi made an appointment to meet Zheng Li. As soon as they met, Zheng Li saw the scarf around Li Daqi's neck.
"Are you stupid? Why are you still wearing this in such a hot day? Why don't you wear it when we get to the north?" Although Zheng Li blamed Li Daqi for taking off his scarf, she felt sweet in her heart.
Although Li Daqi didn't say anything, this action showed that he valued the scarf she gave him, which made Zheng Li particularly happy.
"It's okay, it's not that hot..." Li Daqi smiled and let Zheng Li help him take off his scarf. Then Zheng Li took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Look, you're sweating, aren't you hot?" Zheng Li said in surprise, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Li Daqi touched his forehead and smiled: "It's really nothing. I sweated because I was anxious to see you walk faster, not because of the scarf..."
"fool!"
Zheng Li rolled her eyes at him, then took Li Daqi's arm and asked, "Let's go! Let's go eat!"
"Let's go eat!"
The two did not go out to eat noodles today like they did last time, because Li Daqi was going on a business trip tomorrow and would not be back for at least half a month.
So Li Daqi suggested going out for a good meal, and Zheng Li agreed with Li Daqi's suggestion, but in order to save money she chose an ordinary small restaurant. The two of them ordered three dishes and a soup, and also got two bottles of beer, which totaled only about 6 yuan, which was a bit of a luxury for ordinary people.
They ate and talked at the same time. After dinner, they didn't watch a movie, but just walked around the neighborhood and talked.
Time passed quickly, and it was already past nine o'clock. Zheng Li had to go to work the next day, and it would be inconvenient for her to go back to the factory dormitory late, so Li Daqi sent Zheng Li back.
Half an hour later, he sent Zheng Li to the factory gate. Zheng Li looked at the factory gate not far away and said to Li Daqi, "Okay, I'm here. I can't see you off tomorrow. Remember to take care of yourself when you are on a business trip. Don't always go hungry. Also, pack your luggage when you go back at night. Don't forget anything..."
Before leaving , Zheng Li gave Li Daqi some instructions. She originally just wanted to say a few words, but once she started talking she couldn't stop. When she came to her senses, she realized she had said a lot.
"I'm sorry, did I say too much? It's a bit annoying." Zheng Li reacted and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Li Daqi shook his head: "It's not annoying, I like it, I just love to hear you nagging like this..."
"Humph! You clearly blame me for nagging, but you say one thing and mean another!" Zheng Li rolled her eyes at him, then laughed again. She helped Li Daqi straighten his collar and said softly, "Take care of yourself, okay?"
"I know. Don't worry. Take good care of yourself when I'm not around. I'll call you when I'm free."
"Don't call me, long distance calls are expensive. I'll be back in half a month anyway. I'll make you something delicious when you come back."
"Okay!" Li Daqi's face was full of smiles. The faint fragrance of Zheng Li, who was close to him, came with the breeze, which made his heart flutter. He couldn't help but gently hug the girl in front of him, and the girl also clung tightly to his arms.
I don’t know how long it was before Zheng Li in Li Daqi’s arms let out a soft cry. Li Daqi thought he had hurt her, so he quickly let go and asked what was wrong.
Zheng Li then said that it was getting late, and if it was any later the dormitory door would be closed and no one could get in. Li Daqi felt a little regretful after hearing this. He really wanted to be with Zheng Li forever like he did just now!
"Okay, I'm going in. You should go back early too. You have to take a train tomorrow." Zheng Li raised her hand to smooth her messy hair and said to Li Daqi.
"Well, go back and go to bed early..."
"I know!"
Zheng Li nodded, turned and walked towards the gate, but after taking two steps she suddenly stopped, turned around and ran towards Li Daqi. Before Li Daqi could come to his senses, Zheng Li stood on tiptoe and pecked Li Daqi on the face. Li Daqi was stunned.
"Goodbye! I'll wait for you to come back!" Zheng Li said to Li Daqi with a red face, and then ran away. Li Daqi watched her run straight into the gate. Only then did Li Daqi react. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched Zheng Li's face that she had just touched. He stood there and laughed like a fool.
