Chapter 202: [Climbing to the Giants](1/2)
At noon, their family made a seat in a very famous restaurant in the Magic City.
After coming here, I saw Zhang Meng who was looking forward to it in front of this stylishly decorated restaurant.
After getting off the car, Xu Ning parked the car in the parking space in front of the door, and then saw Zhang Meng jogging over in a neat and short jog in high heels.
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Qin, Hello." Zhang Meng greeted them with a bright smile, then lowered her head and held Xu Rui's little face and rubbed it, "Oh, Xu Rui, it's been a long time since you've seen you. You're really getting more handsome as you grow older."
Xu Rui pried open Zhang Meng's hand hard, "Sister Zhang Meng, I'm all junior high school students, at least you can give me some face outside."
"Ha, why are you polite to your sister? Then I'll give you face outside. Will you let me rub it later?" Zhang Meng walked to Xu Ning and held her arm. "You really have me in your heart. You know that you'll come to the Magic City to have dinner. Do you have time in the afternoon? Come to the studio to have a look, and let the three small employees of the company see their second boss."
"Okay, how did you come here?" Xu Ning asked.
"How else can I do it? Take a taxi. Our studio has received less than five orders since its opening. Two of the people who placed orders for us were wedding decorations at my classmate's home, and two were introduced by them. I am thankful that I thought I was the same as you, and I could make a fortune in an instant?"
"You girl is not bad either. You started your own business as soon as you graduated from college. It is always difficult to start. After this period, when others see the results of your studio, your business will gradually increase in the future. Don't worry." Qin Xuejuan encouraged her.
Zhang Meng nodded happily, "I just treat it as comfort if others tell me this, but Aunt Qin's encouragement, I am full of motivation. Who gives you vision?"
"This child is much more lively than when he was a child." Qin Xuejuan laughed.
Xu Ning looked at Zhang Meng and smiled and said, "My mother means you are crazy now."
"Tsk, don't misinterpret Aunt Qin's meaning. Aunt Qin is praising me, I don't believe you."
When they came to the restaurant, they sat down in the lobby on the second floor. They were just because the private rooms were full, otherwise they would be able to gather in the private rooms to have a meal. Their reservations were also this morning. The private rooms were usually booked a week in advance, or even half a month ago.
"The villa on Yunwu Mountain will be almost completed in May next year. You can go and design it for me at that time." Xu Ning said, "Although I am the encouragement of your studio, the money will be given as much as possible."
"That's to give it to me. I'll give it to you when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year. It's so convenient to leave the account." Zhang Meng said.
Xu Rui also interjected, "Then Sister Zhang Meng will help me design my villa."
"...Xu Rui, even you, a junior high school student, have a house. I still rent a house for your sister. Do you want to envy your sister?" Zhang Meng couldn't help but rub his handsome little face again.
Xu Rui smiled and avoided her, "If you want to live, go to my sister's house. I won't let you go to my house anyway."
"Why? My sister is not good to you?"
She asked as she pretended to be hurt, holding her heart.
"That is my private territory!" Xu Rui said proudly.
"Okay, I will have time to go to your sans villa and enjoy it. Let's try the taste of rich people."
The food was served soon, and the taste of these foods was naturally not bad, but the Qin family ate just average. After all, it was still not as good as the food they cooked at home, and of course it was even worse than the meals at Ningrui Hotel.
In fact, the operation of Ningrui Hotel is really very popular now. Every day, elites from all walks of life are settled in. Big bosses who come to China to discuss cooperation or wealthy people on vacation will also book rooms in Ningrui Hotel.
First, the open-air swimming pool on the roof is very attractive, but the most important thing is that the special meals in Ningrui Hotel are really delicious.
There are often big bosses who book a banquet in the top stream. Most of the time is from late spring to early autumn. The water temperature in the swimming pool is constant. Even if it is a little cooler in the late spring, some people will like to go swimming. In fact, some people go swimming in winter, and it seems that winter swimming has become a fashion.
After lunch, Qin Zhao came to pick up Xu Jianjun and his wife in person.
"Aunt, uncle, let's go to my company first?" Qin Zhao asked.
"Go and have a look." Qin Xuejuan nodded and said to Xu Ning behind her: "You and Zhang Meng go, don't forget to make a phone call if you don't go home for dinner."
"I know." Xu Ning nodded and went to the parking point with Zhang Meng, but saw Xu Rui following him, "You want to join in the fun too?"
Xu Rui blinked his beautiful big eyes, "Are you two going to leave me?"
"...Then come with me." Xu Ning laughed and pulled Xu Rui and asked him to go to the back seat.
Following Zhang Meng's guidance all the way, they came to the Dream Home Studio on Binhe Road, the Magic City.
The studio only occupies one floor of office building, with an area of about 600 square meters. Although it doesn't sound big, there are only four people in the company, including Zhang Meng.
It was not working hours at this time, but the three staff members of the studio did not go home and all gathered in the studio's lounge for lunch.
"The name looks really good." Xu Ning praised.
Zhang Meng smiled and said, "We are doing decoration design, and the main focus is on residential housing. This name is also easy to choose. As for the word "Dream", it is purely a coincidence. Even if I don't call it Zhang Meng, I am planning to choose such a name. It seems right now. At the beginning, I thought about putting your name in, called "Dream of Tranquility". Unfortunately, you don't agree."
"The Dream of Jing sounds awkward. Where does this Dream Home sound good? Besides, I just own a shareholding and will not interfere in your studio. I don't understand. What should I do with me? This is your company."
"We are both." Zhang Meng corrected and led the siblings to the lounge.
The three people inside were two men and one woman. They were still having dinner at this time. When they saw the boss coming in, they hurriedly said hello.
From the attitudes of the three of them, Xu Ning can see that Zhang Meng gets along well with the three of them.
"Boss, when you went out, you actually brought back a beautiful woman and a handsome guy. How amazing?" The man in a hairy man said with a smile.
Zhang Meng clapped her hands and said, "I'll introduce you to you. This is Xu Ning, the shareholder of our studio. This is her younger brother Xu Rui. Don't make any decisions about my friend. Her husband is so handsome that he looks down on you two."
Another boy with a pot hat said bitterly: "Of course we know, but the boss can't attack people like this, right? Is our revolutionary friendship?"
"There is no such thing, you can eat it." Zhang Meng asked Xu Ning to go out, "Take you around. In fact, the studio is not big, but it is still very empty for the four of us. Although we have been recruiting people for a while, unfortunately there is no suitable one, and the orders are very good now. We can't afford to hire too many people, but we can't afford to pay, right?"
"Don't worry, I believe in your ability, and I like the wedding house you helped me decorate. You are very talented in this regard, and you will definitely be very good in the future."
"Haha, let alone, I actually think I am very good at this. I plan to wait until I go back next summer and decorate my parents' house."
"Is it necessary?" Xu Ning asked, "Will your brother take the college entrance exam next year? He should pick up your parents in the future?"
"It will take many years to come. Now let's decorate them and live there first. Anyway, the hometown is not decorated according to the design plan of the city. It won't cost much money. Let them live more comfortably for the time being."
“This is pretty good.”
In Zhang Meng's office, the two of them were sitting on the sand chatting, while Xu Rui was wandering outside.
"There is something I haven't told you yet, I've had a boyfriend." Zhang Meng suddenly seemed a little shy when she said this.
"Good, what are you doing?"
"I just work in the building next door. The investment bank manager is two years older than me. He has been talking for two months and has a good personality. Although he is definitely not as good as your husband, he is very calm and tall." Zhang Meng twisted his fingers, "I told him about his situation, and he didn't dislike me, but his family's conditions are very good, and he still came back from studying abroad, but I don't think I am worthy of him."
"Your idea is right. When a man and a woman are in love, you can't think who is inferior to whom. The identity and background cannot determine anything. Even if he looks better than you now, your potential for development is huge. You must not be wronged in your relationship, nor can you negotiate terms. If he makes a condition with you because of your family's background before marriage, you have to think about it carefully."
"I know this." Zhang Meng nodded, "I almost couldn't even go to high school back then, but now I have my own studio in the Demon. If I retreated back to that time, this is something I didn't even dare to think about. Who knows what I will achieve in ten years? I can get to this point with myself, and I don't plan to rely on their family in the future. Since I don't rely on their family, I have nothing to compromise myself."
"I should think so." Xu Ning felt very relieved. "Others' things are unreliable. Only your own efforts are truly their own. No one can take them away. From the time I met you, I knew that you were an independent person. At that time, I knew that you would definitely have a future. The so-called wealthy family is very attractive to many people, but where is it comfortable to become the master of the wealthy family? If you marry into a family of other people, if you are not valued, you don't know how depressing your life will be. Of course, he is nice to you. His parents can accept you. Don't hesitate. There are not many high-quality men, so you must hurry up."
When Zhang Meng heard Xu Ning's words, his eyes turned red.
She hugged Xu Ning next door, resting her head on her shoulder.
"It turns out you are the best for me." She sobbed in a low voice. "Actually, although I don't feel inferior to others, I'm still a little worried about gains and losses. I haven't been in a relationship with him for a long time now, and I'm still in the running-in stage. I occasionally have a meal, and at most I just hold hands. He hasn't told his parents yet, and I don't, but I'm still afraid that his parents will say I'll cling to their family. Others are very handsome, and they're still a turtle. The family is pretty good in the Demon City. I like him very much, otherwise I won't have to spend time with him."
"A month ago, I was having dinner with him and met a sister in my dormitory. She talked to her for a while. Not long after, I heard from other classmates in the same department that she went back and told others that I had become a wealthy man. She felt really sad."
"I think I've gotten along well with her for a few years in college, who would have thought?"
Xu Ning patted her hand and comforted her: "Do you think what I said is credible?"
"Why do you ask this?" Zhang Meng looked up at her, then wiped the corners of her eyes naturally, without feeling any embarrassing to cry in front of Xu Ning. Although this was the first time he had known Xu Ning for more than ten years, "You are the best friend of my Zhang Meng in my life, no doubt about it."
"Then I can tell you clearly that you have not clinged to a wealthy family, and the so-called wealthy family depends on what level it is. If their family's conditions are better than ours, then I admit that his family is a wealthy family. Otherwise, you are my good friend, and no one has the right to say that you cling to a wealthy family. If his parents think so, you will tell the other party about this. Even my best friend, you have no shame in clinging to me. Why do they think you cling to them?"
Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment. After a while, she took out a few pieces of paper from the coffee table and wiped it on her face. Then she took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped her face. Finally, she hugged Xu Ning's arm and kissed her hard on her face.
"Thank you, Ningning, I like you the most."
After saying that, he added, "They're not as rich as yours. If you don't talk about Ning Rui, you won't even be as good as you."
"That's it. Even if you straighten your back, we must be polite when facing their family in the future, but we must never accept their random frame-ups." Xu Ning blocked Zhang Meng's shoulder and patted gently, "Besides, I can be sure that at least before you are thirty years old, you will definitely achieve something. My vision should be very accurate."
"It's not that it should be, it's certainly accurate. I can't let you down if I believe me so much at the moment."
Xu Ning hugged her and smiled happily, "This is the independent, strong and purposeful Zhang Meng I know. Otherwise, I would suspect that Zhang Meng, who was quarreling for me in front of me, was my illusion."
Xu Rui came in outside and saw the two sisters hugging each other, and the corners of his lips suddenly twitched.
"Sister Zhang Meng, can you exchange my sister for me?"
Zhang Meng deliberately hugged Xu Ning in his arms, "No!"
"Okay, let me give it to you today." Xu Rui was also having a joke and walked into the single sand and sat down. "My sister brought you the cosmetics, but she didn't bring them out today."
"Oh, I forgot." Xu Ning suddenly realized it at this time. No wonder she felt something was wrong, "Do you know Sumei Cosmetics?"
"Hehe, of course I know. I also bought a bottle of aloe night cream, which has a good effect." Zhang Meng got up and took out the bottle of cosmetics from her desk. "This is the second bottle I used."
"I brought you three sets, enough for you to use for a year. I'll tell me when you run out of it."
"Thank you, my good Ningning."
In the afternoon, when I saw Zhang Meng drawing the decoration design drawings of the house here, Xu Ning also gave some suggestions next to me. Although there were not many, every sentence made Zhang Meng feel very enlightening.
Before getting off work, Zhang Meng asked Xu Ning and her brother to go to her place to have dinner, and said that she would invite her boyfriend to meet her in the evening.
Xu Ning didn't refuse and called He Min here, saying that she was having dinner outside tonight so that her family would not have to wait for them.
The house that Zhang Meng rented is in a house not far from Binhe Road. It is less than ten years old and is relatively new.
The two of them walked in front with vegetables, "This building only has six floors, and the attic is seven floors. The attic I rented is not large in size, but it is better to be quiet."
After taking out the key and opening the door, Xu Ning saw the whole picture of the house. The kitchen is closed, the living room is only about 30 square meters, the bedroom is also about 20 square meters, a bathroom, and a small study room with a small area. Although the sparrow is small, it is complete with all the internal organs.
"The rent is 200 yuan a month, and I will pay for the water and electricity bills myself. I usually eat at the company and come back to sleep, which is pretty good."
Xu Ning nodded, "It's really good. You are worthy of being designed by the house. The house makes you design very warm. Looks like a good girl."
