Chapter 75: A friend you can trust

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

"Stop sleeping, ask you something."

"Don't ask, I said it's okay to have nothing to do with that girl." I yawned heavily, closed my eyes and lay on the bed again.

"I'm asking what the girl you like to eat. Didn't you say she's going to visit our house today? I'll go buy groceries later."

"Just buy some lotus root, bell pepper, gluten, river shrimp, and then make spicy chicken or something."

“Aren’t these all you like to eat?”

"Young people have similar tastes, just do it yourself."

"This is not careless..."

Before my mother could finish her words, I interrupted and said, "Don't worry, go buy it, she must love it."

My mother finally stopped nagging, and after thinking about it, she asked me again, "Have you called and cared about other girls for breakfast?"

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

"You just think I'm nagging all day long. I'm just doing this for your own good. Hurry up and call the girl and ask her when she will come and you can pick her up."

"I will do whatever you said. Can you let me sleep for a while? Just a little while." I begged.

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

I nodded quickly and responded. My mother talked a few more times before leaving my room.

...

After my mother left, I gradually lost my sleepiness. I tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and finally took out my cell phone and dialed Micai's phone number.

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

I also replied with a word "good morning" and asked again: "Have you had breakfast?"

“I’m eating in the hotel restaurant.”

"Oh, your living habits are good. It's the point of breakfast now."

Mi Cai responded to me with a "hmm".

This conversation made me feel a little stiff. I thought about it and asked again, "What are you going to do after dinner later?"

“Shop around your Xuzhou department stores and shopping centers.”

"Mr. Mi is coming to Xuzhou for market making and diversion!" I sighed and said.

"No, I came here to find you specifically, and the market tune was just done by the way." Mi Cai said to me seriously.

I was afraid that others would talk to me seriously and didn't say anything for a long time.

Mi Cai said to me again: "Xuzhou is your home court. Wouldn't you come to be a guide for me?"

"There is no problem with this, I'm having a lot of time now."

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

...

After finishing the call with Mi Cai, I quickly got up and washed up quickly. In less than 10 minutes, I really wanted those delayed women to see how fast this is called.

Before I could have a bite of breakfast, I drove to the hotel where Micai stayed in with my father's Santana 2000.

After a while, I saw Mi Cai waiting at the door. I pressed the window and asked her, "Are you going to take my car or drive yourself?"

Mi Cai answered me without saying anything. She opened the co-pilot's door and sat down beside me. I immediately started the car.

As I drove to the city center, Mi Cai was always looking at a photo in the car with great scrutiny. This photo was our family photo, but I was still very young at that time, holding Daddy Ban's legs with a very tender smile.

Mi Cai's expression was a little sad, and she smiled again. I understand that she was sad because of her deceased father. Xiao envied the reunion and happiness of our family.

I pressed the photo frame and didn't want this photo to continue to tear Mi Cai's emotions. I changed the subject and asked: "I heard that your Zhuomei's stores in Shanghai and Nanjing are being prepared. Market making adjustments in third-tier cities like Xuzhou are not in line with your big city strategy, right?"

Mi Cai shook her head and said, "In fact, there are differences in our internal senior management regarding the future development direction of Zhuomei. I personally think that Zhuomei's strategic focus should be on top second-tier and third-tier cities. The competition faced by first-tier cities is too fierce and will consume a lot of our resources. If we cannot make a profit, it will soon affect the operations of the entire group."

I nodded and understood in my heart that Mi Zhongde’s strategic plan for Zhuomei is in first-tier cities, while Mi Cai is inclined to second-tier and top-tier third-tier cities. This kind of difference will surely deepen the conflict between the two again. I have a premonition that Mi Cai and Mi Zhongde cannot coexist in Zhuomei’s future. As for who can completely control Zhuomei in the end, I cannot easily assert.

Throughout the morning, I accompanied Micai to visit several larger department stores and shopping centers in Xuzhou. The two also exchanged some views on the market, which is one of our few common languages.

Before going to visit my house, Mi Cai insisted on buying a lot of gifts for her father and mother, and I acted as a coolie and carried these gifts, and then complained: "If you come to our house to visit, you really don't have to buy any gifts, making you look like my girlfriend."

"Does it be necessary to buy gifts if you are a girlfriend?"

"This is not, but we are now at the age when men and women get married. The elders will inevitably misunderstand. When you meet Daddy Ban and my mother later, you have to explain our relationship to them."

Mi Cai asked me back: "Then what do you think we have to do with each other."

I thought about it and answered, and said, "There is more relationship between the opponent and fewer friends."

Mi Cai shook her head and denied it, saying, "I didn't treat you as my opponent."

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

"Friend, a friend that can be trusted."

I smiled and said, "I will say that when you introduce yourself to my parents later, but you must not change my mind because of that matter and then blindly trust me. I am really not a good person!"

Mi Cai shook her head and said, "I don't want to think too complicatedly by a person. This 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 just thought you were a scumbag, a rare scumbag!"

I said, "So, you don't judge me by intuition, or in other words, I'm still a scumbag in your first intuition."

Mi Cai smiled and said, "I won't discuss this anymore. After walking around for a long time, I'm hungry. Hurry up and try the rice made by Mr. Ban."

I pulled Mi Cai who was walking forward and asked in confusion: "What did you call me dad just now?"

"Dad," Mi Cai replied, reacting instantly, quickly explaining, and said, "I just think it's fun to shout like this, so I'll just let you shout like this, there's nothing else."

"You can't shout like this in front of him. He always thought that Daddy Ban was my father. If you want to shout, it will be a big deal."

Mi Cai realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded seriously. Then we looked at each other and laughed inexplicably. Her smile was so heart-pounding at noon that was sunny.
