Living room.

Father Shen looked at Wang Chen with a stunned expression, and pointed to the golden unicorn and the yellow dragon jade pixiu on the coffee table.

Shen Mu and Shen Xia also ran out of the kitchen when they heard the sound.

"Old Shen, what's wrong?"

"Dad, what's all the fuss?"

The two of them went one after the other, thinking that something had happened, but when they saw the things on the coffee table, they were both stunned.

Father Shen said speechlessly: "I was talking to Xiao Wang, and he took out such a big gold unicorn, do you think I can not make a fuss?"

Mother Shen was also startled when she glanced at it, "Ouch, such a big golden unicorn, I'm afraid it will weigh several pounds." ”

They didn't pay attention to Huanglong Yu Pixiu, after all, gold is easier to attract people's attention in the first place.

Shen Xia mouthed towards Wang Chennunu, as if to say, what if you don't want to bring anything?

Wang Chen smiled bitterly at her, a little apprehensive in his heart, I don't know what Shen's father and Shen's mother think.

Father Shen said immediately: "The things are too valuable, we can't accept them, Xiao Wang, you can take it back." ”

"Yes, such a big golden unicorn must be at least a million. Shen's mother also excused herself.

Seeing that the two of them did not blame, Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he originally wanted to give these two things, how could he take them back, told a white lie, and said tightly: "Uncle and aunt, this unicorn is not worth anything, it is gold-plated, and it is copper inside." ”

Father Shen suddenly realized, "Oh, the gilded one, it scared me, I thought it was pure gold." He shook his head and said with a smile: "If it's really pure gold, I don't dare to accept it, how can I explain it when I look back and the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigates, saying that my daughter's boyfriend gave it to them? When they saw that Xiao Wang was young and had just graduated from college, they didn't believe it, and they didn't believe it, and then they didn't think I was corrupt." ”

Mother Shen pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, old Shen, you think too much, shouting, Xiao Wang has just graduated from university, how can he bring such a big pure gold unicorn over, since it is gold-plated, just accept it." After that, she continued curiously, "Eh, what is that yellow pixiu? Why do I look a bit like Huanglongyu?"

Judging from the performance of the couple just now, Wang Chen knew that the couple would not accept too valuable things, so he said wittily: "It's not Huanglongyu, it's just ordinary yellow wax stone, and it's not very valuable. ”

"It's yellow wax stone, it's weird and beautiful. Mother Shen shook her hand with a smile, "Cheng, you two continue to chat, I'll go cook." ”

With that, Shen's mother turned around and went into the kitchen.

Father Shen got up and touched his stomach, "I've drunk too much tea, I'll go to the toilet." ”

With that, he went to the toilet and closed the door.

At this time, Shen Xia hurriedly stepped forward and lowered her voice: "Wang Chen, what are you doing?"

Wang Chen smacked his lips and said, "I didn't do anything." ”

"What haven't you done yet?" Shen Xia pointed to the golden unicorn and Huanglongyu Pixiu on the coffee table and cried and laughed: "You brought a pure golden unicorn and a slap big yellow dragon jade Pixiu over, and said that you didn't do anything?"

Wang Chen immediately denied it: "Didn't I say it just now, gold-plated and yellow wax stone." ”

Shen Xia rolled her eyes and said, "What about me being a fool?" she paused and pouted, "Your boss Wang's business is so big, what kind of character can I not understand?"

Seeing that it was exposed, Wang Chen admitted with a dry smile: "Okay, it's pure gold and Huang Longyu, didn't I want to leave a good impression on your parents, by the way, you didn't tell them what I was doing?"

"I didn't say it, I just said that you opened a craft shop. Shen Xia turned her elbow outward and said, "Such a big golden unicorn is estimated to cost more than one million, and Huang Longyu is too, in this way, I will talk to my parents later, you take the things back, we will have to live in the future, you send such a valuable thing to the family?"

"Don't, I've taken it all, it's not appropriate to bring it back. Wang Chen said unhappily: "Besides, there are any losers, do you think your man is like a person who lacks two or three million?"

"Yes, yes, I know that your boss Wang is rich. Shen Xia was a little anxious, "This is not ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the bathroom door clicked open.

Father Shen walked out of it and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Shen Xia immediately said: "Dad, Wang Chen and I are talking about the golden unicorn......"

Wang Chen was afraid that she would break it, so he immediately interrupted: "Yes, we are talking about the good gilding technology of this unicorn." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xia glared at him.

Wang Chen gave her a slightly calm look.

Father Shen didn't pay attention, and said with a smile: "The gold plating technique is very good, so I almost thought it was pure gold at first sight." As he spoke, he walked towards the edge of the sofa and asked casually, "Xiao Wang, I heard that you graduated from Su University?"

"It's not Su University, Wenzheng College, it's private, I heard that the major shareholder of the school is Su University. Wang Chen replied.

Father Shen sat down, without any dissatisfaction, nodded and said, "Although it is three, it is also an undergraduate, and it costs a lot when I go to school." ”

Wang Chen sighed: "Yes, I studied finance, and the tuition fee for the first year is 20,000 yuan, and the fourth year is less, but it is also 14,000." ”

"It's a lot of money. Father Shen agreed, and then inquired about the situation: "What do your parents do?"

Wang Chen told the truth, "My father works in the factory, an ordinary worker, and my mother works as a farmer. ”

Shen's father encouraged: "Young people don't have to rely on their parents, they can succeed if they work hard, come on." ”

"Thank you, uncle. Wang Chen said, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart, he spent seventy or eighty thousand yuan on the tuition fee for four years, plus miscellaneous expenses, so that the originally not wealthy family emptied their savings, Wang Chen's father worked in the factory, with a salary of 3,000 yuan a month, and his mother was farming, commonly known as farming, except for selling some crops every year to earn three or five thousand yuan, there was basically no income.

You always have to eat at home, right?

He had to use money again at school, naturally, there was no money at home, so when his father fell ill, Wang Chen was anxious, because he knew that there was no money at home.

Another half hour of small talk.

Basically, Shen's father was asking, and Wang Chen replied.

The two were chatting, and Shen's mother and Shen Xia brought the dishes to the table, and called the two to eat.

On the dinner table.

Eight or nine home-cooked dishes, such as steamed hairy crabs and stir-fried shrimps, make people very appetizing.

Father Shen took a bottle of Wuliangye out and poured wine for Wang Chen, which made Wang Chen say that he didn't dare again and again, and finally couldn't resist Father Shen, so he could only let him pour it.

During the meal, Wang Chen took the initiative to raise the cup and touch it with Shen's father, and then drank it all.

Shen Xia said distressedly: "You drink less." ”

Wang Chen responded, "Okay." ”

Mother Shen sandwiched a hairy crab, "Xiao Wang, eat." ”

"Thank you, Auntie. Wang Chen took it.

At this moment, Father Shen put down the wine glass, smashed his mouth, and hissed, "I heard Xiaoxia say that you opened a handicraft store in Taobao City?"

Wang Chen was breaking crab legs, "Well, selling handicrafts that sell hand beads and high-imitation Song Dynasty porcelain and seals." ”

Father Shen was concerned: "How much money can you earn every month?"

To tell the truth, Wang Chen really didn't know how much money the handicraft store could make, and it didn't take long for it to open.

The turnover on the first day was more than 20,000, and he knew.

But you can't multiply 20,000 times 30 days to say 600,000, right?

Wang Chen thought about it and didn't dare to say too much, "A hundred thousand." ”

"It's a lot, it's good to be able to earn so much money at your age, it's a bit capable. Shen's mother said.

"Hey, the young man's head is quite bright, and he is good. Father Shen also praised him, and then the conversation changed," But ah, it's a trivial matter to make more money and less money, Xiao Wang, I'll tell you the truth, our family is not short of money, Xiaoxia inherited several units of my father-in-law, and it is precisely because I work in the government department that I finally handed over the administrative power to others, leaving only the identity of shareholders and ordinary directors, not to mention more, there are still twenty or thirty million dividends per year, I will be a girl in Xiaoxia, if you marry her, say something unpleasant, and after Xiaoxia and I are two hundred and forty years old, these are all yours. ”

In some dialects of Haitong, it means death after the age of 240, and it is directly said that death is unlucky, so it is expressed in a different way.

Shen Xia frowned and said, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Wang Chen didn't understand what Father Shen meant, so he didn't answer, but just looked at the other party with a smile on his face and continued.

"It's not like I'm talking about that. Father Shen took a piece of chicken with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, and said unhurriedly: "If you have studied law, you should know that Article 5 of the "Several Guidelines for the Honest and Honest Administration of Leading Cadres of the Communist Party of China" stipulates that it is not allowed to acquiesce, connive, or instruct spouses, children and their spouses, other relatives, and staff members around them to seek personal interests and provide convenience in their own name, and to engage in business, run enterprises, or run enterprises that may conflict with public interests in the areas and business fields under their jurisdiction. Social intermediary services and other activities, and even in the wholly foreign-owned enterprises or Sino-foreign joint ventures within the business scope of the area under my jurisdiction, can you even hold high-level positions appointed or hired by the outside world, otherwise why would your mother hand over the administrative power of several factories and companies left by your grandfather and only retain the status of shareholders and ordinary directors? Isn't it to avoid suspicion? ”

Shen's mother also sighed and said: "Yes, it's not easy for your father to be an official, I always have to think about it, although there is no explicit rule that you can't do business, in the eyes of many people, there are loopholes that can be drilled, but I can not do business without doing business, save some trouble." ”

Wang Chen understood it, Shen's father and Shen's mother meant that it was okay for him to be with Shen Xia, but it was best not to do business, otherwise it would be easy to cause some trouble to Shen's father.

Sure enough, Shen's father said in the next sentence: "It's actually nothing for Xiao Wang to open a handicraft shop, but I think that ah, our family is not short of money, it is better to let Xiao Wang stop doing business, apply for a civil servant, and get a slightly better position while I am still in office." He paused and looked at Wang Chen, "Xiao Wang, what do you think of your uncle's suggestion?"

Wang Chen wanted to refuse, how can buddy maximize the benefits of the resources at hand without doing business? But Shen's father said very clearly, as long as Wang Chen reports to the civil servants, Shen's father is willing to help, and everyone has expressed enough kindness, and his refusal seems a little inappropriate, which may make Shen's father and Shen's mother unhappy.

He wants to refuse, and he doesn't know what to say!

Seeing that Wang Chen didn't speak, Father Shen frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Wang, are you afraid that you won't be able to pass the civil service exam?" he accentuated his tone, "Actually, civil servants are not difficult to take the exam, as long as you have the heart, I dare to guarantee that you will definitely be able to pass the exam." ”

I promise that I will be able to pass the exam, and this kind of thing is said.

It is equivalent to the other party has given enough promises, Wang Chen smiled bitterly, if he is no longer interested, he may really offend Shen's father, but he really can't agree.

Fortunately, Shen Xia played a round, and she said bitterly: "Dad, what are you doing? At the beginning, I was asked to study law, but then I was unhappy and forced me to study medicine, and now I am in love with Wang Chen, you even have to interfere with what he does? As she spoke, she gave Wang Chen a look, "Wang Chen, don't listen to my dad, let's eat." ”

Father Shen didn't speak, but he frowned and was not satisfied.

Mother Shen wanted to speak and stopped, but finally let out a long sigh and didn't say anything.

In this atmosphere, Wang Chen felt tormented, yes, even if Shen's father and Shen's mother didn't say anything for the time being, if he didn't agree to apply for the civil service examination when he turned around, it was estimated that he would prevent him from dating Shen Xia.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Shen's father and Shen's mother had no bad intentions, on the contrary, for him and Shen Xia to live well in the future, to put it mildly, if Wang Chen really applied for the civil service examination, he had reason to believe that with Shen's father's identity, he would basically not be bad in the Jinghai system.

It's just that I have a hard time and a reason why I have to refuse to go into politics.

For a while, Wang Chen didn't know what to say, so he had to bury his head in eating.

Father Shen is an official in the end, and the city government is relatively deep, so he changed the topic with a smile: "Come on, Xiao Wang, how about trying shrimp, I like Xiaoxia's shrimp the most." ”

"Okay, I'll try it. Wang Chen picked up the spoon and was about to get some shrimp to eat.

Suddenly, jingle bells!

The phone he was hiding in his pocket rang!

"Uncle and aunt are embarrassed, answer the phone. Wang Chen greeted.

Father Shen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, take it." ”

Mother Shen also nodded.

It was Shen Xia who was pouting dissatisfiedly at her parents, a little unhappy about what had just happened.

Wang Chen didn't pay attention, he thought it was a call from Zhang Liang or Yang Long, after all, there was no movement in the past after sending a message yesterday, but when the phone was taken out, it was Lu Haoge calling.

Diamond grading results are out?

He was short of money on hand, so he hurriedly answered the channel: "Hey, Brother Lu." ”

Lu Haoge's voice came from the opposite side, "Xiao Wang, are you in Haitong Zhongnan City?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh, I'm at the gate, why don't you come down?"

"I'm eating...... Okay, I'll come down now, you wait for me. ”

"Okay. ”

Hung up the phone.

Seeing that Shen Xia's family of three were staring at him, Wang Chen put away his mobile phone and explained, "I have a friend who sent something over, I'll go down and get it." ”

"Your name was Brother Lu just now, don't you be Lu Haoge, right?" Shen Xia knew that he had a good relationship with Lu Haoge, so she asked casually.

Hearing Lu Haoge's three words, Shen's father and Shen's mother glanced at each other in surprise.

Can't let people wait downstairs, Wang Chen was a little anxious, and responded, "Yes, it's Lu Haoge, uncle and aunt, you eat first, I'll go down." ”

"Go ahead. Mother Shen nodded.

Wang Chen stood up, removed his chair, and was about to walk out.

Suddenly, Father Shen called out to him, "Xiao Wang." ”

Wang Chen turned his head to look, "Is there something wrong with my uncle?"

Father Shen smiled and groaned: "Is Lu Haoge you talking about the son of the No. 1 boss's family?"

Wang Chen confirmed: "It's him." ”

"You have a good relationship with Xiao Lu?" Father Shen asked again.

Wang Chen replied honestly: "It's okay, he takes good care of me." ”

Father Shen said: "I have a good relationship with his father, just at the time of dinner, everyone went downstairs, if I don't know, forget it, if I don't invite him to come up for a meal, go back and let his father know how to tease me for being stingy, so let's go down with Xiaoxia, invite him up, just say I let him come to dinner, he shouldn't refuse." ”

Wang Chen glanced at Shen Xia, saw Shen Xia nodding at him, and hurriedly said, "Cheng, I'll talk to Brother Lu and see if he is willing to come up." ”

Shen Xia got up at the same time and said, "Let's go down." ”

The two went out the door.

Wait until they're gone.

Mother Shen was puzzled: "Eh, old Shen, you said that this little Wang family is ordinary, why is he still in a relationship with the son of the No. 1 boss?"

Father Shen also said strangely: "Yes, Xiao Lu usually thinks very highly of himself, and the friends around him are either doing big projects, or the sons of the bosses in the city, and I don't understand how Xiao Wang and Xiao Lu have a relationship." ”

"Will Xiao Lu come up and ask later?" Shen Mu suggested, she paused, "I think this Xiao Wang is a little strange, you also know that my family used to open a precious metal refinery, and later sold a lot of shares to Lao Zhai, and now he is in charge of the factory, but I see that the ability of precious metals has not fallen, Xiao Wang said that the golden unicorn we gave was gilding, but no matter how I look at it, it looks like pure gold, and that Pixiu, I look like Huanglongyu, not like ordinary yellow wax stone." ”

Father Shen was taken aback, "If that's the case, the two things together can't be two or three million? What the hell is this little king doing, so generous? Why didn't you say it earlier? If you said it earlier, I wouldn't accept these things!"

"I'm not busy cooking and don't have time to be sure!" Shen Mu defended herself, first blinking, then thinking of a bad possibility, and shuddered, "He shouldn't be engaged in any criminal activities, right?"

"You spend all day thinking about conspiracy theories. Father Shen said angrily: "I talked to him for so long just now, the young man looks quite honest and honest, not like he is engaged in criminal activities at all, okay? Otherwise, he can have a relationship with Lu Haoge? Xiao Lu is shrewd, he won't make friends with criminals, okay, don't say more, let's explore the wind of Xiao Lu later, and figure out what Xiao Wang does." ”

Shen's mother said: "Yes, since Xiao Lu and Xiao Wang have a good relationship, they should know the situation, let's ask clearly." ”

The two of them are really curious in their hearts, what kind of boyfriend does their daughter have? It's a pure gold unicorn, and it's a palm-sized Huanglong Jade Pixiu, and now she has a good relationship with the son of the No. 1 boss in the city, and it seems to be quite capable, so it can't be the real identity of which bigwig's son-in-law, right?

The couple is very complicated inside.

They don't dislike Wang Chen's family background, as long as the young man is honest and willing to work hard, his family background is almost bad, so that his daughter will marry more or less in the future, and she will not suffer any losses.

If Wang Chen's family background is very good, Shen's father and Shen's mother are a little worried, worried that Shen Xia will not be able to pull it, but a good family background has the advantage of a good family background, at least the daughter will live a comfortable life for the rest of her life.

For a while, Shen's father and Shen's mother had some gains and losses, but they both had a common thought, that is, they must probe Wang Chen's bottom carefully.

Ten minutes passed.

Just as the couple was thinking, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Brother Lu, please come in. ”

"Hehe, I still came to Uncle Shen's house to eat. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chen, Shen Xia and Lu Haoge walked in.

Shen's father and Shen's mother glanced at each other, and they both saw a layer of meaning in each other's eyes, the main lord is here, take this opportunity to knock on the side and find out the details of the future son-in-law.
