Power and WealthChapter 31 – Shopping with a beautiful lady

Tuesday.

The money in the trading account could not be withdraw onthe same day. Dong Xuebing got to wait for the next day to transfer his moneyinto his bank account. Zhou Changchun had gone to the hospital for his followup and was not in office. Dong Xuebing took the opportunity to leave the forlunch earlier and went to ICBC bank to transfer 3,000 RMB to his mother’saccount. He wanted his mother to have a better life.

After transferring the money. Dong Xuebing called his motheron his mobile phone.

Ring, ring, ring. A woman answered the phone. “Hello, HuiTian Secondary school.”

Dong Xuebing replied: “Hi, I am looking for Luan Xiaoping.”

“You are looking for Teacher Luan? Please hold the line.”The woman was silent for a while before shouting: “Teacher Luan, you have aphone call. It might be your son.”

A few seconds later, Dong Xuebing’s mother answered thephone. “Xuebing?”

Dong Xuebing sat down on a blue plastic chair in ICBC bank’swaiting area. “Mum, are you having lunch now? I have just gotten my pay andhave just transferred 3,000 RMB to you. If you are free go and withdraw it fromthe bank. The weather has turn cold recently. Buy a coat or something. Justtreat it as a gift from me.” His mother had lost a lot of money in the stockmarket in the past. Dong Xuebing knows that if he told his mother that he hadmade money from trading, his mother would surely be worried. He also can’texplain his special ability BACK to her. So, he decided to keep it from her.

Dong Xuebing’s mother grumbled. “I don’t need your money. Istill have money with me. You should keep it for yourself.”

Dong Xuebing replied: “The money has been transferred. Stopnagging at me.”

Dong Xuebing’s mother sighed. “Then...... okay. But next timedon’t send me any money. My salary is still enough for me. You should save yourmoney. These few years we are poor, and I don’t even have money to buy you newclothes. You have already started working in the government. You must giveothers a good impression.Throw thosepatched and torn clothes away and buy some new ones.”

Dong Xuebing looked down at his clothes. He was wearing afaded T-shirt. “Errr...... Then I will go and buy some new clothes tonight.”

Dong Xuebing’s mother wanted to save on the phone chargesand she just ask Dong Xuebing briefly about his work before hanging up.

Evening, after work.

On the bus back home, Dong Xuebing send Qu Yunxuan amessage. “Are you working overtime today? I will prepare dinner and wait foryou to return?” After sending the message, Dong Xuebing felt blissful. How comethis message feels like a couple sending to each other. Beep, beep. He wasstill day dreaming when Qu Yunxuan replied. “Don’t. Wait for me to return homeand I will cook for you. Oh, there is no more vegetables at home. I don’t knowwhat you want to eat. How about you come over to my workplace to fetch me? It isalmost time for me to get off work. We can go to the nearby market to buy somevegetables.” Dong Xuebing looked at the message and replied: “Okay.”

Beijing 2^nd Ring Road

Beijing Daily (Newspaper) Headquarters

Although Dong Xuebing and Aunt Xuan were close these fewyears, but their relationship were only normal neighbors. But after DongXuebing saved her life a few months back, they became closer and Dong Xuebingknew more about her. Qu Yunxuan had started a business with some friends aftershe graduated from University but the company closed down not long after. Shethen got a job with Beijing Daily’s advertising division. She was now a teamleader there.

10 minutes later. People starts to walk out of the building.

The was the first time Dong Xuebing came to Qu Yunxuan’swork place. He also did not know which exit she will walk out from. He juststood there looking at the crowd trying to spot her.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebing saw Qu Yunxuan walking out from anoffice building not far away. Her hair was tied up in a bun and was wearing awhite blouse, brown office skirt, stockings and black high heels. She wasbeautiful and Dong Xuebing was mesmerised by her again. How come Aunt Xuan wasso beautiful? Dong Xuebing wondered.

“See you tomorrow, Team Leader Qu.”

“Bye. See you tomorrow.” Qu Yunxuan nodded.

“Sister Qu, is the proposal which I told you yesterdayready?”

Qu Yunxuan turned to that person: “Oh, Xiao Lu had completedit. You can talk to him tomorrow.”

“Ok. Take care. Bye.”

Qu Yunxuan have the aura of a career woman. This was DongXuebing’s first time seeing the other side of her.

Qu Yunxuan saw Dong Xuebing and she walked quickly towardshim. “Have you waited long? There is a waiting area inside. Why didn’t you goin and wait for me there?”

Dong Xuebing’s eyes stop wondering around and said: “I amlazy to register.”

Qu Yunxuan laughed and pointed to a direction. “Let’s go tothe market and buy the food you want to eat.”

While they were crossing the road, Dong Xuebing noticed QuYunxuan rubbing her shoulders and he asked: “Are you tired? You want me to helpyou carry your handbag?”

Qu Yunxuan brought him to a market: “It’s okay. I am gettingpaid to do work and I should be tired. When I started my own business, it wasmore tiring than now. Not only it was physically tiring, it was also mentallytiring.” In front of the market store, Qu Yunxuan changed from being a careerwoman to a housewife. “How much is your eggs? 4 RMB for 3? Then give me 1 Kg.......How much is your chicken wings? Oh...... give me some of it......” Qu Yunxuan boughtthe ingredients and then carry on the conversation with Dong Xuebing. “It’s a pity.I was young back then and didn’t know a lot of things. If I have a company now,I am sure I will manage it better.”

“Are you still thinking of setting up your own business?”

“Yes. But I do not have the capital now. Let me save up fora few years first.”

Dong Xuebing noticed that the both of them had similargoals. He wants to be a top official and she wants to make lots of money.

North Heping Street.

Dong Xuebing wanted to help Qu Yunxuan with the cooking. Hewas embarrassed for having her to cook for him every time. But Qu Yunxuanchased him out of her house. She asked him to go back to have a shower firstand change before dinner.

Unit 302, Qu Yunxuan’s house.

After blowing his hair dry, Dong Xuebing rang the doorbellof Qu Yunxuan’s unit. The door opened, and he could smell the fragrance of beerchicken wings. He took in a deep breath and walked into the apartment. “Wow, itsmells nice. Is the rice ready?” There were a few pipping hot dishes on thedinning table. Just looking at the food on the table made Dong Xuebing hungry.He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to start eating.

Qu Yunxuan slapped the back of his hand playfully. “Washyour hands before you eat.”

Dong Xuebing retorted: “I had just taken a shower.”

“You don’t need to use your hand to knock on the door? Youdon’t need to touch the door knob when you open the door?” Qu Yunxuan poked hishead. “Go and wash your hands now.”

Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose and walked into the kitchen.

Qu Yunxuan, who was still wearing an apron, laughed. “Whenyou come out, bring two pairs of chopsticks.”

“Okay.”

Aunt Xuan was great at cooking. She could be the head chefof any 5 stars restaurants. Dong Xuebing ate until his belly could not holdanymore food. He burb and rubbed his bulging tummy on the sofa. Qu Yunxuan wasclearing up the dishes like a housewife. He felt he was really lucky and reallywanted this feeling to last forever.

Whoever marries Aunt Xuan will definitely have a blissfullife.

Dong Xuebing was looking at Qu Yunxuan’s beautiful whitethighs while she was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen. He was fantasizingabout those legs when he realized the pair of legs coming closer and closer tohim. “What are you think?” Qu Yunxuan was standing in front of him.

Dong Xuebing quickly look away. “Ermmm..... I had just gottenmy salary. I wonder if you can accompany me to buy a few new clothes.”

Qu Yunxuan laughed and playfully pinched his cheeks. “Okay.Your Aunt here will help you choose some nice clothes and turn you into ahandsome young man.”

Dong Xuebing replied shyly. “Stop making fun of me. With mylooks, no matter what I wear will also not be good looking.”

“Nonsense.” Qu Yunxuan slapped his head lightly. “I say youare handsome means you are handsome. Come, let’s go to the mall.”
