The secretary quickly got the tickets for the amusement park, a family package for two adults and one child.
After booking the tickets as Song Jiaye requested, the secretary was confused.
"Deputy General Manager, so who wins this bet? It can't be that the client is a child. But if it's a date, there's no need to buy a child's ticket."
The deputy general manager was confident when he heard it was a family package. He smiled and said, "We'll call it a draw."
"What do you mean by a draw?" The secretary chased after him to ask, but the deputy general manager was a man with much longer strides than hers. How could she catch up?
Now it was the secretary who was itching with curiosity. The deputy general manager clearly seemed to know something. She had to ask.
Song Jiaye had no idea that he had become the subject of a bet among his subordinates. He got in the car with the tickets. Poor Xiao Wu had just returned from Xiyu Villa. Now, after picking up Song Jiaye, he had to go back to pick up the madam and Li Tong.
Song Jiaye didn't look like he was going to an amusement park at all. He was still holding his phone to work. Xiao Wu glanced at him through the rear - view mirror and asked, "Boss, do you want to change your clothes first later?"
"Why do I need to change my clothes?" Song Jiaye asked in confusion. "Is there anything inappropriate about my outfit?"
A suit and tie were appropriate in other places, but in an amusement park...
He really wanted to ask Song Jiaye: Have you never been to an amusement park?
Xiao Wu suggested, "People go there to have fun. Dressed like this, you'll be quite inconvenient."
Song Jiaye answered without thinking, "No need to change."
In fact, Song Jiaye had really never been to an amusement park. When he was a teenager, his family was poor. At that time, his classmates in the class would go to the amusement park and show off when they came back. Song Jiaye didn't envy them at all. He always thought that only a fool would spend hundreds of dollars just to be 'played with'.
The money for one visit was his monthly living expenses.
Yes, he thought that things like roller - coasters and haunted houses were just places where people were 'played with'. People's panicked expressions would be photographed, and the staff would laugh heartily while watching on the monitors.
Of course, now that he was going, it wasn't because he had changed his mind. He was just accompanying Li Qiyu because she was in a bad mood.
Anyway, it wasn't his idea to go. The fool wasn't him.
At the gate of Xiyu Villa, Li Tong, unable to contain his excitement, dragged Li Qiyu and had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Xiao Wu's car coming, he waved desperately.
As soon as they got into the back seat of the car, they found that their dressing styles clashed with Song Jiaye's.
Li Tong was wearing a flowery vest and shorts and a big straw hat. He clearly looked like he was going to play.
Li Qiyu was relatively more conservative, but she was also wearing casual clothes.
At this time, Xiao Wu couldn't help but remind again, "Boss, are you sure you don't want to go back and change your clothes?"
Song Jiaye said impatiently, "Stop nagging and drive."
Xiao Wu had no choice but to shut up and start the car resignedly.
When they arrived at the amusement park, Song Jiaye finally understood that Xiao Wu's suggestion was really for his own good.
As soon as he entered the amusement park, he felt like he had entered a zoo, and he was the only monkey being watched. From the moment he checked the ticket at the entrance, everyone gave him strange looks. Even Li Qiyu noticed. She tugged at Song Jiaye's sleeve and asked, "Everyone here is looking at you."
Song Jiaye didn't answer. Li Tong answered first, "Of course. My uncle - in - law is handsome."
Li Qiyu took a serious look. Well, Li Tong wasn't wrong.
Because Song Jiaye's outfit was really inconvenient, for many projects, he could only be a spectator, watching Li Qiyu and Li Tong play.
At first, Li Qiyu was very scared, especially for something like the flying trapeze. Just looking at the height made her heart pound. Song Jiaye had to take her to play on the carousel.
Li Qiyu was familiar with this. She jumped on the horse and subconsciously slapped the horse's butt. The action was quite heroic, but after that slap, her palm turned red.
The music started, and the carousel began to rotate. Li Qiyu thought it was too slow and shouted, "Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap!"
Li Qiyu wasn't stupid enough not to recognize that it was a wooden horse. She also knew that these wooden horses were controlled by someone. She just thought that since it was a horse and she had shouted "giddyap", the people controlling the horses should speed up.
But it was still slow.
It wasn't as exciting as a real horse.
Now, it was Li Qiyu's turn to be like a monkey. Li Tong, sitting beside Li Qiyu, covered his face and turned away, self - hypnotizing.
"I don't know her. I don't know her."
When the music ended, Li Tong quickly got off the carousel, and Li Qiyu followed. She muttered angrily, "What a lousy horse. It's so uncomfortable and slow."
At this time, someone in the scenic area was leading a horse. These horses were for tourists to take pictures with. Li Qiyu stopped him.
"Do you sell this horse?" She was really itching to ride a horse.
The staff member leading the horse was stunned. Song Jiaye quickly stepped forward to help.
"Do you rent it?"
"Yes. It's 35 yuan for a round - trip."
Song Jiaye paid the money readily. Li Qiyu nervously pulled Song Jiaye aside and asked, "How much is 35 yuan? Is it 35 strings of copper coins? It's such a rip - off. We could buy this horse with this money."
This was beyond Song Jiaye's knowledge. He urged, "Don't worry about it. I've paid for it. Just have fun."
"Then thank you!" Li Qiyu walked to the horse's head and gently patted it. The staff member stood behind her, ready to help her mount the horse.
Song Jiaye had seen how the staff helped tourists mount the horse. Usually, they would push the tourists' butts up.
Song Jiaye's face darkened and said, "No need. I'll do it."
While the two were still discussing how to help her mount the horse, Li Qiyu stepped on the stirrup and jumped on the horse.
In front of the stunned staff member, Li Qiyu reached out her hand.
"Give me the reins."
The staff member was shocked by her performance. He woodenly handed over the reins in his hand. When he came to his senses, Li Qiyu had already ridden the horse for a long time.
The staff member was so anxious that he chased after her.
"My horse! Oh no, how could she just rush out like this? What if she hurts someone?"
Song Jiaye was also very worried. Oh no, what if she fell off?
The staff member quickly called a sightseeing electric car on the walkie - talkie. Song Jiaye and Li Tong also got on it.
The staff member kept muttering all the way, which annoyed Song Jiaye who was already worried about Li Qiyu. He roared, "I'll take responsibility for whatever happens!"
As soon as Song Jiaye roared, the staff member fell silent immediately.
The car had been driving for a few minutes when Song Jiaye saw the figure riding the horse running on the street in the distance. Fortunately, it was a weekday, and there weren't many people on both sides of the street. But after all, this was an amusement park, not a grassland. There was an end, and there was a dead - end ahead.
