Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3044: Chapter 2980: Bleeding Heart

A young man sat opposite her, with an ordinary appearance, the kind that wouldn’t stand out in a crowd. But when he saw Jiang Xiao, his eyes lit up.

”Is this Xiao Chiang?” He hurried to his feet, reaching out his hand to Jiang Xiao, ”Hello Xiao Chiang, my name is Ma Guoqun, I’m a broadcast announcer and I’ve long admired you. Now that we finally meet, it turns out you’re indeed as remarkable as they say, even more so than on TV and in the newspapers.”

Afraid that Jiang Xiao might misunderstand him as some rash man, he quickly added, ”Sorry, I really meant no offense with what I said.”

Ji Qin secretly twisted her mouth, then made space for Jiang Xiao and said, ”Why don’t we sit down for a chat? It’s been a while since we last met. I was planning to visit, but knowing it’s your final exams, I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and decided to sit down.

She and Ji Qin had collaborated quite a bit, and Ji Qin had more or less helped out with catching Dai Zhongwen. Moreover, this was her teahouse, and since Ji Qin was a guest, sitting down to chat was harmless.

As she sat down, Ma Guoqun immediately waved over a server who quickly approached. The server hesitated upon seeing Jiang Xiao and was about to greet her, but Jiang Xiao shook her head gently.

It seemed Ma Guoqun didn’t know she was the owner of Youqingwei.

”Sir, is there anything you need?” the server asked.

Ma Guoqun looked at Jiang Xiao, asking her warmly, ”Xiao Chiang, what snacks would you like? The snacks here are really quite good.”

Praising her teahouse’s snacks, huh?

Jiang Xiao smiled, ”Thank you.” She was indeed a bit hungry, so she told the server, ”Please bring me four pieces of different-flavored tea cakes.”

Ordering four pieces all at once...

Ma Guoqun’s expression changed slightly.

He had ordered the cheapest pot of tea and a honey tea cake for Ji Qin, while he chose not to order anything for himself to save money. Now, to show a bit of generosity and gentlemanly demeanor, he planned to order a single cheap snack like mung bean or red bean for Jiang Xiao, but she suddenly ordered four!

And all in different flavors!

His heart ached at the thought.

The snacks at Youqingwei were really expensive!

Still, he loved face too much to show his distress, almost suffocating himself in the process.

Jiang Xiao glanced at him, understanding his thoughts, and said blandly, ”I’ll pay for myself.”

Ma Guoqun paused, feeling that Xiao Chiang was indeed not a very pleasant person; saying that publicly meant she wasn’t saving his face!

Despite this, hearing her words relieved him somewhat, and he feigned generosity, saying, ”How can that be, why let a lady pay?”

”I’m not used to being treated by strangers.”

After saying this, Jiang Xiao turned to Ji Qin and asked, ”Reporter Ji, is there something you need from me?”

Ji Qin replied, ”Your previous interview caused our magazine’s sales to surge dramatically; our president was very pleased and hopes to do another series featuring you. Over the next six months, we’d publish some of your works, one piece per week, along with the inspiration behind their creation and your thoughts. If possible, we’d also like to include a few pieces from Teacher Liu Guoying. I’ve come to discuss this with you.”

This matter...

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, ”Let’s set another time to discuss it then.”

”Can we visit you at home?”

Ji Qin actually didn’t know where Jiang Xiao lived. Although some people knew Jiang Xiao’s address, she was now consciously protecting her privacy.
