Chapter 179 Sincerity is invincible
"Grandpa, this is also the birthday gift that Xue'er and I chose for you. We're staying here tonight, and we're celebrating your birthday tomorrow. Wei Lin said with a smile.
"Oops~ Your foot massage shop seems to be very popular recently." Dongfang Kuo said with a smile. He is now older and has experienced more things, so he doesn't attach so much importance to power, which was put in the past, he would definitely not allow Wei Lin to open a pedicure shop. But as for the marriage of his children and grandchildren, he still agrees with his daughter's point of view. He knew what Wei Lin had in mind, so he didn't say anything about it.
"Grandpa, you're really well-informed. If you don't go out, you will know the affairs of the world, and you will be a master. Wei Lin grinned, his eyes unconsciously aimed at Gu Xue'er. Grandpa didn't say anything, it seemed that he didn't agree, his mood was a little low but it was not easy to show it.
Sitting here, Gu Xue'er felt very uncomfortable. No matter how sluggish she is, she knows that she is being left aside. Now, these mouth-watering fruits didn't seem cute to her at all, and she was even a little out of breath.
Although she was angry, Gu Xue'er remembered Tang Jingjing's explanation and tried to relax herself. Yes, composed, composed, calm, breathing, breathing, deep breathing, a series of self-suggestion, Gu Xue'er's mood was much better, her eyes blinked, and she thought about it, hehe...... It's time to use my ingenuity.
"You ......" Dongfang Kuo's words were interrupted by Gu Xue'er's voice before he finished speaking.
"Wei Lin, grandpa, he's not old and confused, you're always here to coax him, is it interesting?!" Gu Xue'er pretended to be angry and said.
"Xue'er ......" Hearing this, Wei Lin's face turned white, and he stared nervously at his grandfather's expression. In this family, no one dared to talk to the old man like this, everyone followed the grandfather's words and coaxed him to be happy. This Gu Xue'er really doesn't know how thick the sky is, why is she so bold?! If he annoyed his grandfather, he really didn't dare to think about it.
Dongfang Kuo was stunned for a moment, this girl was clearly saying that she was old and confused. Many children and grandchildren are afraid of themselves, but this Gu Xue'er has a bit of courage. I don't know if she's really bold or hot-headed.
"Huh?" Dongfang Kuohua's white eyebrows were slightly raised, his cloudy eyes widened slightly, and a grim smile appeared on his face, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
"Isn't it? You have no shortage of newspapers, the Internet, and no shortage of ventilation reports, knowing these news is a matter of course, but Wei Lin is boasting like a flower, which is clearly insulting your IQ. Gu Xue'er treated Wei Lin's grandfather like potatoes, winter melons, and Chinese cabbage, so she was not so nervous and scared when she looked at each other directly.
"Wei Lin, do you hear that? In the future, I'll be here, don't be a sycophant. Dongfang smiled wide-eyebrowed, brushing his gray beard. This time, he had a new assessment of Gu Xue'er in his heart. What a sharp-toothed girl, smart and courageous. Even the girl of the Lin family only dares to be coquettish at most, where does she dare to talk to herself like this? No wonder Wei Lin likes it.
"Grandpa, Wei Lin wrote it down." Wei Lin responded respectfully. Squeezing her eyebrows at Gu Xue'er, her heart finally let go of her throat.
"Take me to the garden?" Dongfang asked with a smile.
"Okay." Wei Lin happily agreed. Grandpa is not angry, they have hope.
So, the three of them walked towards the back garden with different moods.
No wonder Wei Lin said that his grandfather's garden was very big, it was really big. Tall, short, large, small, flowers of all shapes and colors are available, which is really an eye-opener. In the distance, there was what looked like a vegetable garden, with red tomatoes and green bell peppers, bunches of grapes purple and black, and red pomegranates swaying like small lanterns......
This scenery suddenly made people's mood feel comfortable, Gu Xue'er was like a bird released into the forest, looking up and down, very happy.
"Grandpa, did you grow these?" Breathing in the scented air and looking at the scenery in front of her, Gu Xue'er couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Hmm." Dongfang Kuo replied. Except for the time to eat, sleep and go to the toilet, he would be in the garden almost all day, looking at this and that, and entertaining himself.
"That's amazing!" Gu Xue'er stretched out her thumb and praised sincerely.
"Well, there's still a better one over there." Wei Lin also became proud, pointing to a small pond in the distance and smiling. These all show that grandpa's body is still very good.
"It's a shame that no one eats such a good fruit." Gu Xue'er found that there were a lot of grapes under the vine, so she said regretfully. I picked a bunch of ripe vines from the vine.
"yes." Dongfang Kuo's mood is somewhat melancholy, his children and grandchildren are busy working hard and rarely come to visit him, even if he comes, he will not leave with the fruits and vegetables prepared by his parents like ordinary children, he can't eat these things he grows, and finally they are distributed to the servants. People in families like theirs yearn for but don't fully trust family affection, which is also a kind of pathetic in the final analysis.
"We'll come back more often when we have time." Wei Lin seemed to feel his grandfather's mood and hurriedly said.
"Okay." Dongfang Kuo looked at Gu Xue'er who ran to the side to wash grapes with a smile, and he loved her a little more in his heart.
"Grandpa, try it, it's so sweet, it's much better than what I bought in the supermarket!" Gu Xue'er happily walked over with the washed grapes. She's such an optimist who can find happiness in any situation.
"The ones sold outside are definitely not comparable to this, and I have to take some back when I leave." Wei Lin tasted one and praised it sincerely.
"Both hands in favor." Gu Xue'er said with a smile while tasting the delicious grapes.
Hearing this, Dongfang Kuo's heart was indescribably happy. This is the cuteness of ordinary children, there is not so much pretentiousness, there are clear likes and dislikes, and it is easy to get close to.
"You can stay here tonight, just to accompany me, a lonely old man." Dongfang Kuo said with a smile.
Dongfang thought to himself. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, since Wei Lin likes it so much, why should the elders stick to the old rules? Back then, Ying'er's love was cut off in his own hands, and now, do you really want to block the love of your grandchildren again? When you get old, you should look at some things.
"Thank you, grandpa." Wei Lin almost jumped up happily, and secretly gave Gu Xue'er a thumbs up.
Gu Xue'er also pursed her lips and chuckled, she couldn't help but be proud, thinking that Wei Lin's grandfather was just an ordinary old man, and he was taken down by me so easily, hehe.
-----------------------
Ling Qingfeng parked the car next to a small alley and led Tang Jingjing inside.
"Where is this going?" Tang Jingjing looked left and right, and couldn't help but ask again.
"You'll know when you get there." Ling Qingfeng still replied.
didn't go far, the two stopped in front of the three-story building with red tiles and white walls, and saw that the door sign said "Yanjing Planning Association", which was very simple and couldn't see anything special.
"What are you doing here?" Tang Jingjing raised her head and looked at Ling Qingfeng, asking for some reason. She studied advertising design in college, and although she entered the planning industry after work, the planning association was still a relatively distant knowledge for her, so she never had the idea of knowing about it.
"Sign up." Ling Qingfeng chuckled. Because of Tang Jingjing's relationship, when he has nothing to do, he will browse the webpage about planning, and he happened to see the announcement of the creative planner competition held by the Yanjing Planning Association, so he planned to let Tang Jingjing give it a try.
"Sign up?" Tang Jingjing still didn't quite understand, and her eyes flashed with all kinds of doubts and speculations.
"Creative Planner Competition, do you want to try it?" Ling Qingfeng's eyes were full of encouragement and support, because he believed that Tang Jingjing could go far on the road of planner.
"Well, there's nothing to lose anyway, thank you." Tang Jingjing hesitated, nodded and smiled. Her heart was very moved, and she didn't know how Ling Qingfeng found this hidden place.
"Let's go." Ling Qingfeng stroked Tang Jingjing's hair dotingly, and then happily pulled her in.
The door of the association is very ordinary, and it is in such an easily overlooked corner, but when you walk in, it is eye-catching. There have been many competitions, some knowledge lectures, and the planning of many large-scale events, including summit forums, smart cities, international exchange meetings, etc. These completely broke through Tang Jingjing's previous cognition of the planning industry, and while she had a sense of urgency in her heart, she also raised an inexplicable expectation for this competition.
As soon as they entered, there was a guide on the public column about the registration for the competition, so it was easy for the two of them to find the registration office.
"Hello, is the registration here?" Ling Qingfeng was the first to speak.
"Yes, please come in." The staff smiled kindly, and then poured a cup of hot water for each of them.
The décor feels like you've stepped into someone else's living room, with no boxy office chairs, large floor-to-ceiling windows, lilac gauze curtains, a row of sofas, a cream-white coffee table, and a few rattan chairs. Photos of water dispensers, hanging air conditioners, various activities...... In the corner, there are two computer desks with bookshelves side by side, making it feel more relaxing.
"This is the theme of the competition, the registration conditions and the entry process, you take a look at it first, if you are willing, fill in the relevant information in the following column." The staff handed over a document and said with a smile.
"Thank you." Tang Jing took it with a smile and read it carefully. This competition is wedding planning, there is a small piece of background information, at first glance it is not very difficult, but it is also very difficult to innovate and break through in the link.
"How?" Ling Qingfeng asked with concern.
"I'm not eligible." Tang Jingjing chuckled regretfully.
"Why?" Ling Qingfeng asked suspiciously.
"Contestants must have a vocational qualification certificate of level 3 or above, and my level 3 qualification certificate has just finished the last subject, and the results have not yet come down." Tang Jingjing whispered.
"Oh." Ling Qingfeng nodded, also a little regretful.
