Chapter 097: Engagement

Meng Chunting's driver, Lao Huang, put Meng Chunting at the door of the "Red Sun" first, and when Meng Chunting entered the door, Xu Jianguo's car also rushed over.

Leaving from the "Red Sun", Lao Huang drove Zhou Nan all the way to the gate of Haidu No. 1 Middle School.

Zhou Nan is also a graduate of Haidu No. 1 Middle School, and his mother Yue Ping is a teacher at Haidu No. 1 Middle School, so of course he is very familiar with this school.

The school gate is very lively, with students pushing their bicycles home from school in twos and threes, and the business of various vendors selling snacks and small sundries on both sides of the gate is also booming.

Zhou Nan got out of the car and saw Chen Xi, a girl wearing a milky white sportswear. She belongs to the kind of girl who is close to the "Snow White" type of girl in terms of appearance and temperament on movie and television screens, standing there like a chicken, and has always been the focus of the student group.

There is naturally no shortage of suitors for such a young girl, even though she is only a high school student. Several tall boys surrounded Chen Xi and laughed and laughed, like the stars holding the moon. But Chen Xi's expression looked very indifferent, and it could also be said to be very proud.

I don't know if Chen Xi has a soft spot for this milky white, anyway, Zhou Nan has seen her a few times before and after, and each time he is wearing milky white sportswear.

The long black hair is tied up at will, and a purple plastic bow is buttoned, although the slender figure is slightly green, but there is already a bit of charm in the gestures. That face, whether viewed from a distance or up close, is full of delicate and gentle atmosphere, making her look like a very good girl, but who would have thought that in this kind of beautiful and gentle girly body like water, there is a rebellious and crazy heart wrapped in it!

However, Zhou Nan thinks about it, it is normal to be rebellious in adolescence, but Chen Xi's appearance is too sweet and too visually intuitive to deceive the surname, so that it causes a strong contrast.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but think that when he was in high school, he was a good student and a good child in the eyes of teachers and parents, but he played the role of a "good child", in fact, he also had all kinds of bad deeds such as skipping class, hiding in the toilet and learning to smoke.

This is the price of growth, and no one can avoid it.

Treating others with himself, Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile dumbly, and his mentality relaxed.

Zhou Nan strode forward and shouted loudly, "Chen Xi! ”

Chen Xi was standing there distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking. But Zhou Nan can actually roughly guess her thoughts, it is nothing more than very disgusted that her mother Meng Chunting found her a tutor and forced her to tutor, she should be thinking about how to force Zhou Nan away as a tutor, so as to return her freedom.

Zhou Nan approached, Chen Xi pouted, but immediately showed a very cultured sweet smile, "Brother Zhou Nan, you are here......"

"Chen Xi, let's get in the car first, find a place and I'll invite you to have a meal, and then we'll go back to your house to make up for your homework." Zhou Nan smiled.

Chen Xi sighed, didn't say anything, and followed Zhou Nan into the car.

On the way, Chen Xi's bright big eyes blinked, and he said with a smile, "Brother Zhou Nan, I'm very tired from studying today, can you let me relax and play for a while-"

Zhou Nan saw Chen Xi's eyes staring directly at a video game hall outside the car window, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Chen Xi, that's not good, I promised Mr. Meng to control you!" ”

Chen Xi sighed unhappily, lowered his head, and didn't speak again.

The car was speeding away, and after a while, Chen Xi suddenly looked up again and said, "Brother Zhou Nan, can you let me go home first, put down my schoolbag, change my clothes, wash my face, and then go out to eat?" I was in PE class this afternoon, and my body was dirty when I ran and jumped......"

Zhou Nan hesitated slightly, although he nodded and agreed, but when he saw an indescribable brilliance fluttering in Chen Xi's eyes, he became a little vigilant. Xindao didn't know what the hell she was thinking about - but let her go, Zhou Nan didn't believe that she couldn't "clean up" such a little girl with her own rebirth!

Back at Meng's house, Zhou Nan asked the driver Lao Huang to go first.

He waited boredly in the Meng family's living room, while Chen Xi hid alone in the bedroom to change clothes. Half an hour passed, and the people still didn't come out, Zhou Nan frowned and couldn't help shouting, "Chen Xi, are you finished?" Hurry up! ”

"It's comingβ€”" Chen Xi dragged out her voice, the door was pushed open, and her person suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Nan's eyes.

Zhou Nan raised his eyes and couldn't help but be startled.

Bright lipstick, thin blush, long false eyelashes on her big watery eyes, light yellow professional skirts, pink high heels, heavy makeup, nondescript, supplemented by the charming smile of the mature female surname that was intentionally imitated, made Zhou Nan feel ridiculous.

"Brother Zhou Nan, am I good-looking?" Chen Xi's light and cunning voice came from his ears.

Dressed up as this street warbler and want to seduce yourself? How many strange things are hidden in the eyes of this little girl.

Zhou Nanqiang couldn't hold back the ** who laughed heartily, and said in a low voice, "Chen Xi, it's November now, and the weather is quite cold, aren't you afraid of the cold when you wear such clothes?" Besides, yellow clothes and red shoes, this is too good to match...... I advise you to go back and replace it and stop messing around...... Otherwise, you'll be treated like that when you go out......"

"What should it be?" Chen Xi asked with a frown, which made her already terrible facial makeup look weird and funny.

"Hehe......" A playful smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Nan's mouth, this smile fell in Chen Xi's eyes, this smart girl immediately understood, she stomped her feet, glared at Zhou Nan fiercely, and then ran back to the room to change out of this Chengren skirt that I don't know where she got it.

……

……

Zhou Nan ordered a few dishes in a small restaurant near Meng's house, and after eating with Chen Xi, he "forced" her to go back to Meng's house and continue tutoring.

Although Chen Xi did not "resist", the people sitting there were obviously absent-minded.

Zhou Nan reluctantly put down the book in his hand, sighed and said, "Chen Xi, let's talk about it, I am a few years older than you, and I also came from this stage of high school...... Tell me, why do you hate studying so much? ”

Chen Xi's small nose straightened, and he looked at Zhou Nan disdainfully, "I don't believe it, you like to study when you are in school?" Who likes to learn? What nonsense. ”

"If you don't like it, you have to study, because you have to go to university." Zhou Nan smiled disappreciatively.

"What can I do if I get into college? What's the use? My mom didn't go to college, so she still leads a so-called famous college student like you...... Don't you hang around her all the same? Chen Xi grinned maliciously, "Including you coming to be my tutor, isn't it also to slap my mother?" ”

"You don't quibble, it's not the same thing. Chen Xi, your foundation is not bad, transfer your energy back, work hard for a year, and there is no problem in taking the university entrance examination. Don't move these ghost thoughts anymore, it's useless for you to make trouble for a long time, you still have to go to school when you should go to school, and you have to take the college entrance examination if you should take the college entrance examination......" Zhou Nan suddenly lost his patience, he moved slightly rough and put the book in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Concentrate, start!" ”

"Did you hear that?!" Zhou Nan's attitude suddenly changed from gentle and drizzly to loud, which made Chen Xi startled. She suddenly raised her head and was about to "resist", when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhou Nan's gloomy face and the anger flashing in her eyes, she subconsciously lowered her head in fear, nodded honestly, and said pitifully and softly, "People know, what are you doing so fiercely!" ”

With a different attitude to get along with Chen Xi, Zhou Nan obviously felt the effect. Chen Xi no longer made a fuss, and concentrated on cooperating with Zhou Nan's tutoring, and the one-hour tutoring was very efficient. Zhou Nan inadvertently discovered that in fact, her studies were not as bad as Meng Chunting said, especially in liberal arts, she was very talented.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Nan saw that Meng Chunting had not come back, so he asked Chen Xi to call her, and heard that Meng Chunting was already on the way home, so Zhou Nan decided to say goodbye and go home.

Chen Xi obediently sent Zhou Nan downstairs, raised his hand and smiled, "Brother Zhou Nan, goodbye!" ”

Zhou Nan turned around and smiled, "Chen Xi, study hard, don't let your mother be too worried." I know you love video game consoles, so if you can be in the top 10 of your class in your final exams this semester, I'll give you a Little Overlord console. ”

"Really?" Chen Xi's eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed, "Forget it, my mother won't let me play." ”

"It's okay, as long as you mention the results, I'll go and tell Mr. Meng, I will definitely let you play...... Chen Xi, let's settle it like this! Zhou Nan turned around and looked at Chen Xi with a smile, and stretched out his hand, "I mean what I say, what about you?" Is there confidence? ”

Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, and also stretched out his white and pink little hand to shake it with Zhou Nan, "Okay, that's it, I want the best latest model, but it's a lot of money!" ”

Under the dim light, she smiled like a flower blooming instantly, her smile was very bright and bright, beautiful and incomprehensible, even if it was Zhou Nan, she couldn't help but light up in her eyes, and her heart said that this girl is still young now, if she grows up, she will be a charming stunner and a beautiful stunner!

During the activity of his thoughts, he suddenly felt that Chen Xi's pink and silky little fingers were gently hooking his palm, and there was a certain cunning floating on her delicate face.

Chen Xi smirked, Zhou Nan suddenly lowered his face and glanced at her, Chen Xi's smug smile immediately stiffened on his face, pouting and hanging his head.

……

……

Zhou Nan and Zhou Ningyu entered the house one after the other.

Because Meng Chunting basically doesn't drink, tonight, Zhou Ningyu and Xue Yuanyang dealt with Xu Jianguo, who had a very shallow amount of alcohol, and it can be said that they didn't have to make a fuss and put Xu Jianguo up.

For the sake of their son's future, Zhou Ningyu and Xue Yuanyang naturally lowered their stature as much as possible, and had a polite meeting with Meng Chunting and Xu Jianguo, and the atmosphere at the banquet was very good, and the four of them broke up happily.

But as soon as he entered the house, the smile on Zhou Ningyu's face dissipated, and he sat on the sofa in the living room and smoked. He was in a bad mood for the past two days, and if it weren't for Zhou Nan, he wouldn't be in the mood to socialize.

It's not just that the promotion was suddenly suspended, two days ago, Huang Zhen, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, transferred a person from the prefecture and city where he previously served, and entered the public security bureau as the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation.

Anyone who has worked in public security knows that criminal investigation is a "major event" in the public security system, and the high authority in this work far exceeds that of ordinary deputy directors. Of course, in his position, he also bears great responsibility.

Zhou Ningyu understands very well that this is Huang Zhen cultivating his own people to fight for power with himself...... But knowing this, he was helpless.

Yue Ping came out of the kitchen and frowned when she saw Zhou Ningyu smoking in the living room. But knowing that he was in a bad mood, he sighed and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Zhou Ningyu was not in a high mood, Zhou Nan smiled, "Dad, you are still thinking about work." You still don't get too angry, I think Secretary Liu just wants to postpone your promotion now, so as not to clash with Huang Zhen head-on. You also know Secretary Liu's style, he is a very gentle leader......"

Zhou Ningyu knew that what Zhou Nan said was reasonable, and the truth was exactly that. Liu Xiangdong has already passed some hints to Zhou Ningyu through Xue Yuanyang's side, in Xue Yuanyang's words, "Old Zhou, don't be impatient, calm down, and wait and see what happens." ”

But Zhou Ningyu still shook his head irritably, "You go take a bath and sleep, you don't have to worry about my affairs for now - you have just been promoted, you will work hard in the future, you must make achievements, don't let people gossip." ”

Zhou Nan smiled, didn't say anything, and walked into his bedroom.

Some things can be said, but some things cannot be said in advance. Although the reborn Zhou Nan has an almost "prophecy" general information forward-looking advantage, he can't reveal a trace of news, even in the face of his father Zhou Ningyu.

Zhou Nan looked at the calendar on the wall and quietly sighed - there was less than a month before the sudden incident on the afternoon of December 8, which later shook the whole country, made the Haidu police helpless, and was not solved until Zhou Nan was reborn.

In his previous life, because this case appeared beside him and caused a sensation, Zhou Nan paid great attention to the history of this case, and some of the relevant processes and scenes of the case are still fresh in his memory. Although he is not a police officer, and he does not have too much professional criminal investigation knowledge, he is willing to do his best to provide his father with all kinds of valuable information, and his father will come forward to try his best to eliminate this human tragedy that has not yet happened.

Zhou Ningyu urgently needs an opportunity to effectively grasp the situation of the Haidu public security system, and at the same time provide an opportunity and entrance for Liu Xiangdong to promote and reuse him.

The crux of the matter is, how can Zhou Nan get the murderer arrested in advance, not only to avoid the tragedy but also to create such an opportunity for his father to take the position?
