My 26-year-old Female Tenant

  The next morning, when I was still in a dream, my mother woke me up, and I complained vaguely: "Mom, what time is it! Just wake me up and let me sleep for a while."

   "Stop sleeping, I'll ask you something."

   "Don't ask, I told you that I have nothing to do with that girl, it really doesn't matter." I yawned heavily, closed my eyes and lay down on the bed again.

   "I'm asking what your girl likes to eat. Didn't you say that she's coming to our house as a guest today? I'll go shopping later."

   "Just buy some lotus root, sweet pepper, gluten, river prawns, and make spicy chicken or something."

   "Isn't this all your favorite food?"

  "Young people have similar tastes, so you can figure it out yourself."

   "This can't be sloppy..."

   Before my mother finished speaking, I interrupted and said, "You can buy it without worry, she must like it."

  My mother finally stopped nagging, and after thinking about it, she asked me: "Have you called to care about the girl's breakfast?"

   "Mom, we are not from the same era. Don't put your living habits on us. She doesn't know if she gets up or not. You can buy the vegetables first."

   "You think I'm nagging all day long. I'm doing this for you. Hurry up and call the girl, and then ask her when she will come. You go pick her up."

   "I'll do what you said. Let me sleep for a while, okay? Just for a while." I begged.

   "Then don't forget what I just told you, did you hear?"

  I quickly nodded in response, and my mother babbled a few more words before leaving my room.

  …

  After my mother left, I gradually lost sleepiness. After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, I finally took out my mobile phone and called Mi Cai.

  Mi Cai answered the phone very quickly, and said to me very politely, "Good morning."

  I also replied "Good morning" and then asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

   "I'm eating at the hotel restaurant."

   "Oh, your living habits are good, it's time for breakfast."

   Mi Cai answered me with a "hmm".

   Such a conversation made me feel a little blunt. After thinking about it, I asked again: "What are you going to do after dinner?"

   "Take a look at your department stores and shopping centers in Xuzhou."

   "Mr. Mi made a special trip to Xuzhou to do market research!" I sighed and said.

   "No, I came here on a special trip to find you, and the market survey was just done by the way." Mi Cai said to me in a very serious tone.

  I was afraid that others would talk to me in a serious manner, and I remained silent for a long time.

  Mi Cai said to me again: "Xuzhou is your home field, won't you come and guide me?"

   "This is no problem, anyway, I have a lot of time now."

   "Then I'll wait for you at the hotel entrance."

  …

  After finishing the call with Mi Cai, I quickly got up and washed up quickly. It took less than 10 minutes before and after. I really want to show those dawdling women that this is called speed.

   Before he had time to have a bite of breakfast, he drove his father's Santana 00 towards the hotel where Mi Cai was staying.

  After arriving at the hotel for a while, I saw Mi Cai waiting at the door. I pressed the car window and asked her, "Should I take my car, or should you drive by yourself?"

  Mi Cai answered me directly with actions without words. She opened the passenger door and sat down beside me, and I started the car immediately.

During the drive to the city center, Mi Cai was always looking at a photo in the car. This photo is our family portrait, but I was still very young in the photo, with a very immature smile. Holding Ban Daddy's leg.

  Mi Cai’s expression was a little sad, and she smiled again. I understood that she was sad because of her father who had passed away. She smiled because she envied the reunion and happiness of our family.

I clicked the frame of the photo, not wanting this photo to continue tearing up Mi Cai’s emotions, so I changed the subject and asked, “I heard that Zhuomei’s stores in Shanghai and Nanjing are under preparation, can you do market research in a third-tier city like Xuzhou?” Is it in line with your big city strategy?"

Mi Cai shook her head and said, "Actually, there are disagreements among our senior executives about the future development direction of Zhuomei. I personally think that Zhuomei's strategic focus should be on the second- and third-tier top cities. The competition in the first-tier cities is too fierce. A lot of our resources have been lost, and if we can’t make a profit, it will soon affect the operation of the entire group.”

I nodded and understood in my heart that Mi Zhongde's strategic plan for Zhuomei is in the first-tier cities, while Mi Cai is biased towards the second-tier and top third-tier cities. This kind of difference will definitely deepen the contradiction between the two. I have a kind of I have a hunch that it is impossible for Mi Cai and Mi Zhongde to coexist in Zhuo Mei's future. As for who will be able to completely control Zhuo Mei in the end, I cannot easily say.

   Throughout the morning, I accompanied Mi Cai to several relatively large department stores and shopping centers in Xuzhou. The two also exchanged some views on the market, and this is one of the few common languages ​​we have.

Before going to my house as a guest, Mi Cai insisted on buying a lot of gifts for my father and mother, and I acted as a coolie carrying these gifts, and then complained: "You really don't need to buy them when you come to our house. What kind of gift makes you look like my girlfriend."

   "Do you have to be a girlfriend to buy gifts?"

   "That's not true, but we are now at the age when men and women are married. The elders will inevitably misunderstand. When you see Ban Dae and my mother later, you have to explain our relationship to them."

  Mi Cai asked me back: "Then what kind of relationship do you think we have?"

  I thought for a while and answered, "It's about having more enemies and fewer friends."

  Mi Cai shook her head in denial, and said, "I don't think you are the enemy."

   "Then what do you think of me?" I asked with great interest.

   "A friend, a friend you can trust."

I smiled and said: "You will say that when you introduce yourself to my parents later, but you must not change your opinion of me because of that incident, and then trust me blindly. Not a good person!"

  Mi Cai shook her head and said, "I don't want to overcomplicate a person's thinking, it will make people very tired, so I prefer to trust my intuition."

   "Did you think so when we first met?"

   "No, at that time I only thought you were a scum, a rare scum!"

  I said: "So, you didn't judge me by intuition, or in other words, I was still a scum in your first intuition."

  Mi Cai smiled and said: "I won't discuss this anymore. After shopping for a long time, I'm already hungry. Hurry up and try the rice cooked by Ban Dae."

  I grabbed Mi Cai who was walking forward, and asked suspiciously: "What did you call my dad just now?"

   "Ban Dae!" Mi Cai replied, reacted instantly, and hurriedly explained, saying: "I just think it's fun to shout like that, so I can call it as you like, there is no other meaning."

   "You can't yell like that in front of him. He always thought that Ban Dae was my dad. If you want to yell, this will really make a big splash."

  Mi Cai realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded seriously. Then the two of us looked at each other and laughed together inexplicably, and her smile was so heart-pounding in the sunny noon.
