Chapter 49: Calm
A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament and a calm face walked into the private room, followed by Cheng Yahui's mother, the middle-aged woman who had always had a smile on her face.
"This is Liao Fanmin, this is Jia Tianxing, I'm not wrong. ”
The middle-aged man took the initiative to reach out.
In fact, you don't have to guess, you can see that the middle-aged man is Cheng Yahui's father, and there are too many similarities between the appearance of the two fathers and daughters.
"Hello Uncle Cheng, I'm Liao Fanmin. ”
Liao Fanmin stood up and stretched out his right hand.
The middle-aged man known as Secretary Cheng has a somewhat soft hand, and when he shakes hands, he gives people an unusual feeling, Liao Fanmin can feel it, but the other party does not shake hands hard.
Jia Tianxing also stood up and shook hands.
Liao Fanmin looked at Jia Tianxing, and it seemed that Jia Tianxing was also meeting Cheng Yahui's father for the first time.
The waiter quickly began to serve the food.
There are not many dishes, but each one is exquisite.
After the dish is served, the waiter holds a bottle of Moutai on a plate.
A name suddenly popped up in Liao Fanmin's mind, Cheng Zhenlin.
The name Cheng Zhenlin, Liao Fanmin is very familiar with, once served as the deputy secretary of the Fandu Municipal Party Committee, mayor, and secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and was later promoted to the executive vice governor of Jianghan Province, just more than a year before Liao Fanmin's rebirth, he was promoted to the governor of Jianghan Province.
Could it be that the middle-aged man in front of him, who is called Secretary Cheng, is the future governor of Jianghan Province.
"Xiaohui, didn't you introduce us to your classmates? ”
"Mom, Dad, I never said that. ”
"In this way, that's rude to us, let me introduce myself, my name is Cheng Zhenlin, I am Xiaohui's father, and this Aunt Luo, whom you call her, is Xiaohui's mother. ”
The middle-aged woman also smiled and spoke.
"My name is Luo Yuxiang, and when I met you in the morning, I forgot to introduce myself, which is really rude. ”
The conjecture in his heart was confirmed, Liao Fanmin was still a little shocked, he didn't expect to see the future governor of Jianghan Province at this time, and the governor's daughter was still his classmate.
Liao Fanmin could feel Cheng Zhenlin and Luo Yuxiang's gaze, but he always remained calm.
It's Jia Tianxing, whose performance is a little cramped.
"Liao Fanmin, Jia Tianxing, can you drink liquor? ”
"Uncle Cheng, we can drink a little liquor. ”
"Okay, they're all eighteen-year-olds, and they can drink, but not too much. ”
Cheng Zhenlin and Luo Yuxiang's attitudes seem to be very enthusiastic, but this enthusiasm has formulaic content, Jia Tianxing can't feel such an attitude, but the old and spicy Liao Fanmin can feel it.
When he met Cheng Yahui's mother Luo Yuxiang early in the morning and insisted on inviting guests to dinner, Liao Fanmin felt strange, he thought of some things, but he was not sure, even if some things were rotten in his stomach, he should not say them.
But after really seeing Cheng Zhenlin and Luo Yuxiang, Liao Fanmin began to doubt his own judgment.
The waiter placed the bottle on the table, the lid of the wine had been unscrewed, and a rich aroma of wine wafted in the private room.
Liao Fanmin smiled slightly, stood up, reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the table, and spoke in the surprised eyes of the waiter.
"Thank you Uncle Cheng and Aunt Luo for your hospitality, I will toast you with a glass of wine. ”
While talking, Liao Fanmin walked to Cheng Zhenlin's side and bowed down to pour wine for Cheng Zhenlin.
The wine is poured eight points, which is respect for others.
When he walked next to Luo Yuxiang, Liao Fanmin spoke again.
"Aunt Luo, you drink water... ”
Cheng Zhenlin and Luo Yuxiang both had smiles on their faces, but Cheng Zhenlin's eyes were no longer able to see the smile.
Holding the wine glass, Liao Fanmin was still standing.
"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Luo, it's the first time I've eaten at Fandu Hotel, I'll toast you with a glass of wine, I'll finish drinking, you are free. ”
Cheng Zhenlin smiled and picked up his wine glass, and was about to stand up.
"Uncle Cheng, don't stand up, you are an elder, I am a junior, a junior toasts an elder, you should stand. ”
Cheng Zhenlin smiled and took a sip of wine.
Liao Fanmin did not hesitate and drank it in one go.
Jia Tianxing did not follow the toast.
Liao Fanmin looked at Jia Tianxing, picked up the wine bottle again, poured down a glass of wine, and raised the glass to Cheng Yahui.
"Cheng Yahui, after the college entrance examination, I haven't seen you, I toast you with a glass of wine, congratulations... ”
"Hmph, Liao Fanmin, today is my treat, why don't you pour me wine, and still want to toast me, can't I still drink liquor. ”
"No, girls can't drink liquor, it hurts their bodies. ”
"I'm just going to drink. ”
"Then I won't give you a toast, I'll give you a toast. ”
"Forget it, you still drink liquor. ”
Cheng Yahui picked up the drink in front of her angrily, but this time Liao Fanmin didn't stand up.
Cheng Zhenlin's face changed slightly.
After drinking this glass of liquor, Liao Fanmin and Jia Tianxing did not pick up the chopsticks, but Cheng Yahui picked up the chopsticks.
Liao Fanmin looked at Cheng Yahui and coughed lightly.
Cheng Zhenlin was a little strange, and looked at Liao Fanmin and spoke.
"Liao Fanmin, Jia Tianxing, you eat vegetables, why don't you move your chopsticks. ”
Before Liao Fanmin could open his mouth, Jia Tianxing scrambled to speak.
"I'm with the old university, when eating, the elders don't move the chopsticks, and the younger ones can't move the chopsticks... ”
Jia Tianxing said it too quickly, and the title of boss was called out unconsciously.
Cheng Zhenlin and Luo Yuxiang looked at Liao Fanmin at the same time.
Liao Fanmin's face was slightly red.
"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Luo, it's a habit in my family, my sister and I have to wait for my parents to move the chopsticks first when we eat. ”
Hearing Liao Fanmin and Jia Tianxing talking, Cheng Yahui hurriedly put down her chopsticks.
Cheng Zhenlin looked at Liao Fanmin, and a smile appeared on his face again, this time with appreciation in his smile.
"Yes, yes, respecting the old and loving the young, this is the fine tradition of our Chinese nation, but unfortunately many people have forgotten it. ”
While saying this, Cheng Zhenlin picked up the chopsticks.
"Well, you all eat the vegetables, lest the vegetables get cold... ”
After eating a few bites of food, Cheng Zhenlin motioned for the waiter to leave the private room.
The waiter walked out of the private room and brought the door, Cheng Zhenlin picked up the wine glass.
"Liao Fanmin, I would like to toast you and congratulate you on your admission to the University of South China. ”
Liao Fanmin did not hesitate, raised his glass with both hands, stood up, and respectfully watched Cheng Zhenlin pour down the glass of wine.
This time, Cheng Zhenlin drank it all in one go.
Luo Yuxiang also gave Liao Fanmin a glass of wine as usual.
Jia Tianxing finally stood up and toasted.
When Cheng Yahui was about to pick up the wine bottle, Liao Fanmin intentionally or unintentionally took the wine bottle and toasted Jia Tianxing.
Glaring at Liao Fanmin, Cheng Yahui was a little helpless, so she had to pick up the drink, at this time, Liao Fanmin's movements were very fast, and he hurriedly poured wine into his wine glass.
The wine glass is very small, only about five dollars a glass.
After drinking five glasses of wine in a row, it is less than three taels, not to mention that it has not been poured full.
During the meal, Luo Yuxiang began to serve dishes to Liao Fanmin and Jia Tianxing.
Liao Fanmin behaved very politely, and he had to say thank you every time.
Jia Tianxing followed Liao Fanmin and also said thank you, which made the smile on Luo Yuxiang's face more and more.
Cheng Zhenlin's smile is not very much, but many times he looks at Liao Fanmin.
The meal is over.
The group walked out of the private room, and Cheng Zhenlin glanced at Liao Fanmin.
Liao Fanmin immediately slowed down and followed Cheng Zhenlin's side.
"Liao Fanmin, I would also like to thank you for your help to Xiaohui. ”
"Uncle Cheng, Cheng Yahui's academic performance has always been very good, and her grades are better than mine in every intensive training exam. ”
"Really, I don't think so, if it weren't for your help, Xiaohui wouldn't have been admitted to the University of South China. ”
"Uncle Cheng, who did you listen to, Cheng Yahui's college entrance examination this time, compared with usual, there are still some failures, maybe she was too nervous during the college entrance examination, otherwise the score would be higher. ”
Cheng Zhenlin looked at Liao Fanmin, his eyes were very direct and a little sharp.
However, Liao Fanmin's eyes have always been calm, and he did not show the slightest cringe or fear.
Finally, Cheng Zhenlin smiled and patted Liao Fanmin's shoulder hard.
"Lao Liao is good, with your good son, I also heard that your sister Liao Fanyao's academic performance is very good, in Fandu No. 1 Middle School, has always been the first in the class, and the whole grade is also the top three, this transfer back to Xuanming City No. 1 Middle School, the leaders of Fandu No. 1 Middle School regretted it, and the meeting also talked about this matter, saying that such a situation will not be allowed in the future. ”
Liao Fanmin smiled and didn't answer, and he couldn't say anything.
In his heart, there are already turbulent waves, and it seems that Cheng Zhenlin knows everything, including everything about him Liao Fanmin.
Walking out of the hotel, the car was already waiting outside, and before Cheng Zhenlin got into the car, he shook hands with Liao Fanmin and Jia Tianxing.
Luo Yuxiang didn't leave immediately, looked at Liao Fanmin, and said with a smile.
"Liao Fanmin, in the future, you will all study at the University of South China, you and Jia Tianxing are law majors, Xiaohui is a journalism major, you are classmates in Xuanming City No. 1 Middle School, and when you arrive at the University of South China, you are both classmates and alumni, you still have to take care of Xiaohui in the future, Xiaohui is not sensible, and I want to follow you to learn more. ”
Liao Fanmin hurriedly spoke.
"Auntie, Cheng Yahui's academic performance is better than mine, better than Jia Tianxing's, when we arrive at Nanhua University, we have to keep up with Cheng Yahui in terms of learning, and we will do our best to help in other aspects." ”
"Okay, okay, so I'm relieved. ”
At two o'clock, Liao Fanmin left by shuttle.
Cheng Yahui and Jia Tianxing both arrived at the bus station.
Luo Yuxiang did not leave the hotel, and after a while, Cheng Zhenlin's car also returned to the hotel, and there was a reception task in the afternoon.
Luo Yuxiang works in the Fandu Finance Bureau, the leaders of the Provincial Department of Finance will go to Fandu, Luo Yuxiang will be responsible for the reception in the afternoon, and Cheng Zhenlin will accompany the leaders of the Provincial Department of Finance.
"Lao Cheng, this Liao Fanmin is really good, very calm, polite, I thought it was an exaggeration of what Xiaohui said before. ”
"It's really good, I've seen so many young people, this Liao Fanmin is the most prominent, not arrogant or humble, his mouth is also very tight, he is a good seedling, not only has a good tutor, but he is also very capable. ”
"Forty-eight points, if it weren't for this Liao Fanmin, Xiaohui would not have been able to go to Nanhua University. ”
"I know what to do. ”
