Chapter 9: A Sumptuous Dinner
Although Chen Xuan was puzzled, he was very calm after being reborn, and his emotions were controlled freely, which made people look very calm, and he did not show all kinds of panic, and his emotions rarely fluctuated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He knew that since Du Yuzhou was looking for him, he would definitely tell himself the reason, and since people didn't say it, it was best for him not to ask.
Du Yuzhou formulaically understood Chen Xuan's family situation, and Chen Xuan truthfully reported the family situation to Du Yuzhou.
Chen Xuan has been managing marketing for many years, and has many years of experience in communicating with people.
Communication is an art, it is important to express it in moderation, and the key is to capture the message released by the other party.
You have to know when to listen and when to speak, and more importantly, what you can and can't say.
After listening to it, Du Yuzhou felt that it was basically consistent with Liu Liquan's report, and felt that Chen Xuan spoke very clearly and decently.
Being able to maintain calm and ease at a young age, without the impetuousness that young people are accustomed to, makes him feel that Chen Xuan is a child worth cultivating.
Du Yuzhou symbolically encouraged Chen Xuan a few words, and then asked very seriously:
"Xiao Chen, I know that many people have asked you the same question, but I still want to ask you once.
You are the top liberal arts student in our province this year, can you tell me why you can get such a result, but you applied for Chuncheng University!"
Du Yuzhou is the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and he wants to engage in political work, so he is assigned to work in the district education bureau.
Because of his personality, he was quite excluded from the Education Bureau, so he had no choice but to go to the campus, and after more than ten years of hard work, he became the president of Chun University.
Although Chuncheng University is a university in the provincial capital, it has some advantages compared with Agricultural University, University of Technology, Science and Technology, etc., but there is still a gap with J University and Provincial Normal University.
Over the years, the candidates accepted by Chuncheng University have not been missed by the above two institutions as their first choice, and they have been jokingly called the back-up colleges of J University and Normal University.
Although the size is also a department-level cadre, compared to other classmates, he is slightly dissatisfied.
Many of his classmates are also at the lowest, but they are all ******** and county magistrates of the local real power faction.
Part of it is at the level of the main hall of the real power faction, and one classmate is already the deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, and half of his feet are already at the deputy ministerial level.
In the past, a position like him that was not up or down was definitely not noticed among his classmates.
But since the beginning of the summer, his phone calls have suddenly increased, and his classmates have jokingly ridiculed him for transferring.
It's nothing more than because this year's provincial champion of liberal arts actually chose Chuncheng University.
He didn't care about this kind of joke between classmates, he just thought they were bored and gossiped about themselves.
But Zhang Xiaofan, an old classmate of the deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, suddenly called to meet him, and Du Yuzhou felt that something was wrong.
Although they were in the same Spring City, the two rarely kept in touch, and the limited meeting was also when they attended the meeting, and the few words were over.
The old classmates drank some wine and talked and laughed and recalled the past, which was very relaxed and comfortable.
Zhang Xiaofan even talked about this champion incident. "Yuzhou, I heard that this year's provincial liberal arts champion went to your school, what's the situation?"
Du Yuzhou replied with a smile: "No, old classmate, you are not a gossip person, how can you care about this matter?"
Zhang Xiaofan put away his smile, "Yuzhou, it's not that I care, it's that after the last provincial capital meeting, Secretary Liao accidentally mentioned this matter." ”
Du Yuzhou asked vigilantly: "What, Secretary Liao is also concerned about this matter?"
Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand and said: "Where will it be, but the champion in the province is not surprising, but the champion did not enter Beijing, but went to a college that is not even 211, does it always make people curious!"
Du Yuzhou said: "Yes, I'm also strange, this student's advance and first choice are our Chuncheng University, which is obviously unreasonable!"
"It seems that this kid still wants to go to your school!"
Zhang Xiaofan no longer dwelled on this issue, put away his smile, and said with a little seriousness:
"Yuzhou, Secretary Liao also mentioned your ......"
Du Yuzhou asked vigilantly: "Xiaofan, what did Secretary Liao say?"
Zhang Xiaofan observed Du Yuzhou and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Liao just asked about your situation at Chunda, and he also knew that you and I were classmates......
Du Yuzhou's heart couldn't help but move, and his years of political experience told him that this might be an opportunity.
Then Zhang Xiaofan stopped mentioning the matter, and the two continued to drink and talk, sighing about the past and sighing about the years.
This seemingly ordinary but by no means ordinary gathering of classmates made Du Yuzhou really pay attention to Chen Xuan.
Could it be that this champion will really bring good luck to himself?
It was under his arrangement that Liu Liquan came forward to receive Chen Xuan, and he also arranged the invitation to Chen Xuan tonight.
Chen Xuan has answered this question countless times, and he is tired of answering the same questions, but when the principal came to ask, why didn't he answer.
Chen Xuan had no choice but to follow the previous routine, first defining his filial piety and not wanting to stay away from his parents.
Then he modestly said that he was just playing extraordinary, and he didn't expect to get such a score at all.
This explanation is barely reasonable, but in fact, it doesn't feel right when you dig deeper.
Is it possible to exceed 200 points in extraordinary performance?
If you dig deeper into his voluntary filling, it will be even more problematic.
mentioned that the admission and first choice were all Spring City University, and it was obvious that Spring City University would not go.
Under normal circumstances, you can take J University or Normal University as your first choice, and use Chuncheng University or other provincial universities to cover up.
This kind of application is reasonable, even if the score is low, it will be accepted by other colleges and universities in the provincial capital.
Du Yuzhou didn't fully believe Chen Xuan's explanation, but he didn't continue to ask, but was concerned about his school career plan.
Chen Xuan reported to Du Yuzhou in a serious manner, and he was ready to study hard during college.
Absolutely live up to your parents, the school, and the principal's love for you.
Strive to be a person who is useful to the family, society, and the country.
Du Yuzhou had heard too many such clichés, but Chen Xuan said it made him feel extremely gratified, and he nodded approvingly.
The cuckoo, who was sitting on the side, looked serious, as if he had found a target to admire and follow, with a look of adoration in his eyes.
Shen Yun came out of the kitchen at this time, untied his apron and beckoned, "Lao Du, stop talking, let's eat!"
Chen Xuan stood up and walked into the kitchen very sensibly to help Shen Yun serve the meal, and Du Juan also went over to help.
Shen Yun saw it in his eyes and felt that the girl had accepted Chen Xuan and was overjoyed.
Chen Xuan took advantage of the meal and asked in a low voice, "Du Juan, what is your father's name?"
The cuckoo had an exclamation point on his face, "You don't know?"
Chen Xuan put his finger between his lips and motioned for her to whisper, he really forgot Du Yuzhou's name.
The cuckoo stuck out his tongue mischievously, leaned into Chen Xuan's ear and whispered: "Du Yuzhou, Yu next to the golden word, the continent of Asia!"
She blew like an orchid, Chen Xuan felt that his ears were a little itchy, so he endured it and didn't touch it, he moved away a little.
"Thank you!"
The cuckoo smiled, "I don't accept it, you owe me a favor!"
Shen Yun happened to hear it and asked, "Du Juan, what are you talking to Xiao Chen?"
The cuckoo made a small face, "Mom, how can you eavesdrop on other people's conversations, this is a secret, how can I tell you!"
Shen Yun tapped her forehead lightly with his finger, "Little girl, it's still a secret, hurry up and serve the rice!"
There were four people, but the table was full, and there were ten dishes, which was quite sumptuous for the family banquet at that time, and the reception was all very important people who came to visit.
After being reborn, the living conditions have actually been very hard, Shen Yun's cooking skills are good, and the color, flavor, and flavor are complete, Chen Xuan can't help but be moved by his Adam's apple.
Du Yuzhou said to Chen Xuan: "Xiao Chen, don't be polite, just treat it as if you were in your own home!"
Shen Yun was even more enthusiastic, constantly picking up dishes for Chen Xuan, looking at Chen Xuan who was eating heartily with a smile, and his eyes were full of motherly color.
The cuckoo pursed her mouth jealously and complained, Shen Yun smiled and also took two mouthfuls of food for her, and her little face was cloudy and sunny.
As the saying goes, half the size eats the poor, this is really not true at all.
Shen Yun's cooking skills are really good, and Chen Xuan hasn't opened meat for a long time, so he can't control his appetite when he lets go of the amount, and half of the dishes go into his stomach.
Shen Yun is very happy, and the greatest respect for the chef is, of course, to eat all the dishes she cooks, so that she will have a sense of accomplishment.
Du Yuzhou saw it in his eyes and confirmed that Liu Liquan's report was correct, Chen Xuan's family background was indeed not good, and this child had been suffering for too long.
Chen Xuan finished pulling the last grain of rice, put down the rice bowl, looked up at the three people who were looking at him, and felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:
"Auntie, the food you cook is so delicious......"
Shen Yun smiled and said, "Then Auntie, you will hold a bowl of ......."
Chen Xuan waved his hand again and again, "Auntie, I'm really full!"
Du Yuzhou watched Chen Xuan eat four bowls of rice, knew that what he said was true, stood up and said, "Okay, Xiao Chen, let's go to the sofa and sit!"
After the two sat down, Du Yuzhou leaned back on the sofa and lifted Erlang's legs.
This action made Chen Xuan see that Du Yuzhou really didn't regard himself as an outsider anymore.
Du Yuzhou looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Xiao Chen, I have something I want to discuss with you, I don't know if it's okay." ”
The principal spoke in this tone, and Chen Xuan hurriedly sat upright, "Principal, don't say that, if you have something, you can tell me!"
Du Yuzhou was very satisfied with Chen Xuan's answer, and tried his best to make himself appear kinder.
"Xiao Chen, this is the case, Du Juan, who is just in his second year of high school this year and is in the critical period of studying.
You and Aunt Shen both have jobs, so we don't have time to take care of her, and we lack care for her.
Can you work hard and find time to help Cuckoo with her homework......"
