Chapter 13: Not Confident and Too Confident
The relationship network on the riverside may not be too huge, and he is also familiar with Zhou Xiao's wife Yang Mei, Fang Shanmu sighed slightly, sure enough, he was born in the capital and grew up in the capital and has a family business, he has been in the company for many years, and Zhou Xiao has a very close relationship, and he has never seen Yang Meiqi. Of course, it is also related to the fact that Zhou Xiao is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private.
However, many times at company gatherings, when asking to bring family members, Zhou Xiao never brought his wife to attend. Fang Shanmu and his colleagues also privately discussed, whether Zhou Xiao was too afraid of guilt, or whether their husband and wife had a bad relationship, why they never let their wife show up?
What Yang Mei is from, what kind of work she is engaged in, and what she looks like, Fang Shanmu doesn't know anything, only that her name is Yang Mei and she is Zhou Xiao's wife.
"As soon as Zhou Xiao explained this, did you really believe it?" Fang Shanmu made a disapproving expression, "Say, what is the difference between Yang Mei and what you imagined?
"People are very beautiful, but they can't catch up with your Sheng Chen, and they can't catch up with my family's riverside, they don't like to talk, their manners are very elegant, their temperament is very indifferent, they should have lived in a wealthy environment since they were children, they have a good upbringing, and I don't know other more specific situations, Zhou Xiao didn't say, and I didn't ask. Later, I asked Jiangbian again, and Jiangbian said that I didn't need to know, her ...... day by day Forget it, let's not talk about her, let's talk about our career. ”
"Career?" Fang Shanmu's heart sank, and he realized something, "Did you tell Zhou Xiao about our business?"
"I didn't, I'm that stupid? I didn't have time to stop her, she opened her mouth and said it, she was so angry with me!" Gu Hao snorted several angry expressions in one breath, "Jiang Bian also said that when the time comes, I hope Zhou Xiao can support unlimited relationship limited liability." ”
There are really too many things on this riverside, the company is not yet the time to announce it to the public, and Zhou Xiao knows that the idea may bring unpredictable trouble, Fang Shanmu is slightly unhappy: "What do you say?"
Although Gu Hao was just chatting with Fang Shanmu, he was also sensitive to Fang Shanmu's displeasure, and hurriedly replied: "Of course I hurriedly rounded it up, saying that it has just begun, and the eight characters have not yet been skimmed, and the nine characters have not yet been horizontal, not to mention whether infinite care limited liability can develop and grow, even if it can, it does not necessarily need Zhou Xiao's investment, right?"
Zhou Xiao didn't say anything, he dealt with the past vaguely, and I could see that he didn't want to express a clear attitude on the matter of infinite care. Also, I asked him a question during the interview, about the acquisition of Huatuan Technology, I thought I could ask what is worth digging into, but Zhou Xiao didn't answer at all, only said that the matter has passed, and there is no point in mentioning it again......"
After chatting with Gu Hao casually, Fang Shanmu put away his mobile phone, and his heart was calm. Now that everything is about to open, thinking too much will not help, it is better to do his best, and it has always been his style of doing things to obey the destiny of heaven.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when I arrived in Qiantang, and Sheng Chen's parents drove to pick it up. Originally, Fang Shanmu repeatedly emphasized that he would not use it to pick up, and it was very convenient to call a car to go over, but Sheng Chen's parents did not listen, which made Fang Shanmu quite moved.
Sheng Chen's parents are both university professors, and the two elders are full of gray hair, but they are in good spirits. Speech and demeanor reveal a scholarly unique elegance and diluted temperament, Fang Shanmu was attracted by Sheng Chen back then, and Sheng Chen's elegance in addition to beauty.
Sheng Chen's elegance comes from tutoring.
It was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when he arrived at Sheng's house, Sheng Chen finished washing up, and went to bed early with his son. The Sheng family's house was originally a four-hall house, enough to live, and the direction was not to sleep in East Africa, so he wanted to be with his grandfather, and Sheng Lie was naturally happy.
It may be that he slept a little more on the road, Fang Shanmu didn't feel sleepy, he watched TV in the living room alone for a while, and saw that it was almost 12 o'clock, and when he turned off the TV and was about to sleep, Sheng Lie came out of the room.
"Xiang Dong has slept. Sheng Lie whispered, blinked and smiled, "The young man was tired, and he fell asleep after a few words with me." Yamaki, are you sleepy?"
Fang Shanmu keenly sensed that Sheng Lie had something to say: "Don't be sleepy, Dad, let's talk?"
"It's been a long time since we've talked alone. Sheng Lie sat on the sofa and looked at several rooms where the lights had been turned off, "Now that they are all asleep, we can let go of what we have to say." Yamaki, when you first pursued Sheng Chen, her mother was against it, but I was in favor, generally speaking, it is usually my mother who is in favor of my father and is against it, do you know why it is the opposite in the Sheng family?"
Fang Shanmu understood in his heart that Sheng Lie had seen something, the old man's eyes were like torches, worthy of being a professor who had taught and educated people all his life, he straightened his body: "Dad, you say, I'll listen." ”
Sheng Lie nodded, took out a cigarette, and put it back: "Don't smoke, there are children here...... When I married your mother, her family also disagreed, disgusted me for being too poor, I said don't bully young people to be poor, sooner or later I will succeed, and you will be proud of me. Later, my bold words still failed to impress them, if it wasn't for Sheng Chen's mother insisting on me, I wouldn't be able to get along with her. ”
"Sheng Chen's temperament is very similar to her mother, persistent, stubborn and serious, when she chose you from several suitors, I knew that she had already made up her mind and would not change again. Her mother felt that you were not good enough at the time, and she didn't want Sheng Chen to take the risk of cultivating an excellent man, she experienced the hardships through training, she hoped that Sheng Chen could marry an excellent man directly, and the mother hoped that her daughter could be happy more easily, and her mood was understandable. But I know that a woman who maximizes her value from the beginning will be depreciated in the future, and if you marry a man who is too good at the beginning, soon, because the excellent man appreciates too fast and the woman can't keep up with him, the gap between them will get bigger and bigger, and eventually it will lead to a painful result......"
Sure enough, it was a professor, who spoke very well and thought clearly, Fang Shanmu didn't speak, and listened quietly.
Sheng Lie is very satisfied with Fang Shanmu's serious attitude: "Women often reach the maximum space for mate selection around the age of 25, and the value is released to the peak, while men may not reach the high point until they are 35 years old." If a woman finds a man who is a complete match or even better than herself at the age of 25, then in the future, personal value begins to decline and men rise too fast, do you think the marriage will be happy and the family will be stable?"
Fang Shanmu understood what he understood, and smiled bitterly: "So I was chosen because I was not as good as Zheng Yuandong and Meng Wei, and the upside was small, so I wouldn't be too far behind Sheng Chen?"
"Haha, there are some considerations in this regard, of course, the most important thing is that I think you are reliable and stable, and you can give Sheng Chen a happy and stable home. Sheng Lie smiled, and his smile quickly froze, "Actually, to be honest, excellent men and beautiful women are both scarce resources in society, and since they are scarce, there will definitely be people competing for them." I have no doubt that you are more sought-after than Sheng Chen now, if you divorce, Sheng Chen will suffer!"
Fang Shanmu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Dad, you are wrong, if Sheng Chen divorces, she will be more sought-after than me, at least she will have two or three suitors from before waiting to take over." ”
Sheng Lie shook his head: "You're talking about Meng Wei and Zheng Yuandong, right?"
Fang Shanmu smiled and nodded slightly.
"There's one thing you shouldn't know until now, it's time to tell you the truth. Sheng Lie got up and motioned for Fang Shanmu to follow.
On the balcony, the lights of the city are lit up outside. Fang Shanmu, who was accustomed to spending the winter in the heated environment of the north, was not very adaptable to the damp and cold climate of Qiantang, and shivered as soon as he arrived on the balcony.
"It's good to get used to it, people are more adaptable to their environment than you think. It's the same for the environment, it's the same for people. Sheng Lie patted Fang Shanmu on the shoulder, "At the beginning, Sheng Chen was in a dilemma between Zheng Yuandong and Meng Wei, Ke Yan liked Meng Wei and felt that Meng Wei was stable and reliable, and he was a person who lived at home. I appreciate Zheng Yuandong more, Zheng Yuandong is more manly, charming and courageous, and can achieve great things......"
Many past events came to mind together, and Fang Shanmu suddenly remembered a question that had been entangled in his heart for a long time without an answer, so he asked: "Who does Sheng Chen prefer? Zheng Yuandong or Meng Wei?"
Later, after chasing Sheng Chen as he wished, Fang Shanmu asked Sheng Chen more than once whether she preferred Zheng Yuandong or Meng Wei, and Sheng Chen was vague every time, either saying that it was in the past and that he only liked him now, or that he had long forgotten what it was like before. Anyway, there was always a pimple in Fang Shanmu's heart, although he also knew that it was not a thing, Sheng Chen and the two had not officially fallen in love, at most they had gone out to eat twice, and when she had not fully liked either of the two, he had captured Sheng Chen's heart.
The balcony was dimly lit, Sheng Lie looked at Fang Shanmu with a longing face, and smiled: "Shanmu, you still lack confidence in yourself...... Sheng Chen had a good impression of the two of them, but the dilemma was not who to choose, but to choose someone who could synthesize the advantages of the two. In Sheng Chen's opinion, Zheng Yuandong is certainly very attractive and rich, and he is a rich second generation, but he is too attractive to focus all his thoughts on one woman. And Meng Wei is too persistent, easy to drill the horns, and she doesn't like people who don't know how to be round. And you are the only one who can combine the advantages of the two of them. ”
Fang Shanmu was a little unconvinced: "You mean, from the beginning, Sheng Chen didn't want to choose Zheng Yuandong and Meng Wei, but just liked me?"
"What do you think? Do you think that with Sheng Chen's character, if she hadn't chosen you herself, she would have changed her mind under the advice of others? You, the biggest problem is that you were not confident enough at the beginning to be too confident now!"
