Chapter 180: Performance
The man who came in was Chen Yuyan's father, Chen Ziming. He was in his forties, dressed very orthodox, with shiny black leather shoes, straight and firm black trousers, and a neat white shirt; His hair was combed shiny and stylish, he wore a pair of glasses, and he was fair-skinned.
He is more than 1.7 meters tall, his waist is very straight, he looks very elegant, and he has a very intellectual taste.
What Lu Hong noticed was that when he came in, his brows were slightly locked, obviously something was not going well. But when they first met, he was too embarrassed to ask.
As soon as Chen Ziming came in and saw Lu Hong, he was also stunned, and then saw Chen Yuyan running over to him both intimate and twisted, so he suddenly smiled, and said, "You are Lu Hong, right?" ”
"Uncle Chen, hello." Lu Hong hurried to be.
Tang Xiu beckoned Chen Ziming to sit down, and said a little resentfully, "Why did you only come back now?" Didn't I tell you last night that I wanted to come back early? ”
Chen Ziming said: "There are some things in the bureau. ”
Tang Xiu said dissatisfied: "No matter how big things are, you have to rest, today is the National Day, isn't the National Day good?" ”
Chen Ziming smiled bitterly, he knew that his wife was concerned about him, and it was difficult to refute, and when he saw Lu Hong, who was still standing on the side, he hurriedly said, "Come and sit, don't stand." Yu Yan, you sit too. ”
He sat next to Tang Xiu and pointed to the sofa opposite them for the two young men to sit down.
Lu Hong calmed down and sat down generously, but Chen Yuyan was a little shy, feeling that her parents were looking at her son-in-law when they looked at Lu Hong, for fear that Lu Hong would not behave well and she would be difficult to behave.
Chen Ziming just wanted to ask, but when he saw the jade bracelet Tang Xiu was holding in his hand, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "This jade ......?"
"Oh, that's what you say?" Tang Xiu shook the jade bracelet with a smile, pointed at Lu Hong, and smiled even more happily, "Lu Hong said, this is a bride price for our Chen family, hehe." ”
"Bride price?" Chen Ziming is even more strange.
Tang Xiu glanced at Chen Yuyan with a smile and said, "Marrying a daughter always has to receive a bride price." ”
"Mom......" Chen Yuyan came back to her senses, her face flushed.
Chen Ziming also smiled, looked at Lu Hong and said, "I want to marry our family Yuyan with this little thing, it's too cheap for you, right?" Our family Yuyan is also a famous beauty for ten miles, right, daughter? ”
Chen Yuyan was even more ashamed, so she had to stuff another box on the table to her father and said, "This is yours." ”
"Do I have it too?" Chen Ziming laughed.
Chen Yuyan thought about it, looked at Lu Hong, saw him nodding, took the box in his hand again, tore open the package, opened it and handed it to Chen Ziming, and said shyly: "Dad, this is given to you by Lu Hong, I hope you like it." ”
Lu Hong also said anxiously: "Yes, a little bit of heart, I hope Uncle Chen can like it." ”
Chen Ziming saw that this jade pendant was exquisitely carved, and he couldn't help but be happy, took it in his hand, played with it and praised it for a while: "Yes, it's a good jade." ”
Lu Hongqi said: "Uncle Chen also understands jade? ”
Chen Ziming shook his head and smiled: "I don't know very much, but this should be a piece of high-grade Hetian jade, and the carving is not bad...... It's expensive, right? ”
Lu Hong hurriedly said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive." ”
When Chen Ziming heard this, he looked at the jade bracelet in Tang Xiu's hand again, his face became more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Hong, it's not that I'm polite, but that I, as a public servant, have some things to pay attention to." Tell me honestly, how much did these two pieces cost? ”
"This ......" Lu Hong was embarrassed.
He looked at Chen Yuyan and found that she was also depressed, which was even more strange.
Seeing this, Chen Ziming asked Chen Yuyan again: "Yuyan, you are clear about Dad's personality, say it." ”
Chen Yuyan said helplessly: "The jade pendant is 80,000, and the jade bracelet is 120,000." ”
"Huh?" Tang Xiu exclaimed, covered his mouth lightly, looked at the jade bracelet, and hurriedly stuffed it into Chen Ziming's hand, "Oh my God, this little thing costs 120,000?" Have you been deceived? ”
Chen Ziming looked at the two pieces of jade carefully, and said in a deep voice: "I can't say that I was deceived, it is indeed this price." ”
Lu Hong was a little embarrassed, and it was very embarrassing to be discussing the price of giving a gift in person, no matter what. He looked at Chen Yuyan helplessly, and Chen Yuyan also gave him a helpless look.
"Dad, this is Lu Hong's intention, you can accept it." Chen Yuyan persuaded.
Chen Ziming's face became even heavier when he heard this: "Yuyan, you know Dad's rules, and I have always been grateful for valuable gifts, if it was a bottle of wine and a cigarette, I accepted it, and now this thing is ......."
"Uncle Chen......" Lu Hong was also anxious, and interrupted Chen Ziming before he finished speaking.
"Lu Hong, listen to me." Chen Ziming waved his hand and said, "I am a public servant, your aunt is a teacher, if you wear this jade and go out, let others know, check the price, and I don't know what kind of turmoil I will cause." I don't want people to gossip behind my back, so I think you should take this jade back. ”
Lu Hong admired him a little, but he also persuaded: "Uncle Chen, I understand what you mean. However, this thing was not given by someone else, and it is normal for me to give you a gift as a nephew. Besides, other people may have other purposes for giving gifts, so I don't have any intentions. Don't worry, the money I used to buy these things is very legitimate, and it can stand up to investigation, and if someone has to say something, you can just tell me. ”
Chen Ziming groaned: "You said that the way is very legitimate, I just remembered that there is something to understand clearly, according to Yuyan, your family ...... Oh, I don't mean anything else, I want to buy this jade ......."
Lu Hong smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, just say it directly, I don't mind." I'll admit that if I used to have a situation at home, I really couldn't afford it. However, I invented something at school a while ago, and now I'm taking a stake in a company with technology, cooperating with people, and getting a little money. So ......"
"Inventing something?" Chen Ziming was even more puzzled, "What is so valuable." ”
Lu Hong couldn't say clearly: "Cosmetics direction." ”
Chen Ziming nodded and looked at Tang Xiu hesitantly.
Tang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Just accept it, at most, don't show it in front of outsiders." In ancient times, this was a dowry gift, if you don't accept it, where will your daughter's face go? You see, Yuyan is in a hurry. ”
"Mom......" Chen Yuyan screamed shyly again.
"Haha!" Chen Ziming laughed, "Then it seems that I can't accept it." Lu Hong, you also said that you didn't have any intention to send this thing, I see that you have the biggest intention for me, asking me to hand over my baby daughter to you, this is already my most valuable thing. ”
Lu Hong also laughed, ignoring the white eyes that Chen Yuyan gave him.
Tang Xiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you really say anything to someone, you can directly confess Lu Hong, anyway, he is a rich man now, and he comes in the right way, which is reasonable." ”
Chen Ziming was also interested: "Lu Hong, how much is your invention worth?" ”
"It's hard to say, it's all given in the form of shares." Lu Hong is telling the truth.
"Quite a few, anyway." Tang Xiu helped pack up the two pieces of jewelry, and said to Chen Ziming with a smile, "Ziming, when you see his high-end Mercedes-Benz, you will know what kind of rich people are." A car is worth more than two million. ”
Chen Ziming took a breath of cool air, and his calm face showed a hint of surprise: "Two million? This...... It's too extravagant. ”
Lu Hong was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "The boss who bought my technology gave it, and it can be regarded as a payment method for technology." ”
Chen Ziming nodded, and then did not speak.
After Tang Xiu finished cleaning up, he stood up and said, "Ziming, you don't have to go out later, right?" I started cooking now, and I bought everything for noon, and I can eat it when it's ready. It's rare for Lu Hong to come once, so you have to have a meal with them, right? ”
Chen Ziming hesitated: "It should be fine, I just don't know ...... in the bureau."
Tang Xiu was dissatisfied: "Isn't it just a China Merchants Bureau, and it's busier than the State Council." As for you, you're just a director at the bottom of the ranks, isn't there a director on top of anything? ”
Chen Ziming smiled bitterly: "You also know that this year's investment situation is ...... The one I'm responsible for is the most severe. ”
Tang Xiu snorted: "You, you are just too honest, and you don't say anything when you are bullied." The part you are responsible for is the worst, others are responsible for attracting investment in the district, but you are responsible for a few towns, those towns, all mountains, how can anyone invest vigorously? ”
Chen Ziming sighed: "It's just work." ”
Tang Xiu also sighed: "Work and life have to be separated." ”
Chen Ziming nodded.
Chen Yuyan suddenly asked, "Dad, you still have to be busy with work on National Day?" You don't have to tire yourself down. ”
"It's okay......" Chen Ziming just wanted to speak, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, took it out and looked at it, his face was even more bitter, and he connected while walking towards his study, "Director......"
Lu Hong and Chen Yuyan looked at each other.
Tang Xiu came out of the kitchen and looked at it, and complained again: "His director called him again?" ! ”
"Mom, what the hell is going on?" Chen Yuyan asked worriedly.
Tang Xiu said unhappily: "Several leaders of their China Merchants Bureau are each responsible for a piece of investment promotion plan, and your father has received a share of 200 million this year." However, this year's investment situation is very grim, your father worked hard for nine months, exhausted his connections, and only pulled 100 million, and there is still a gap of 100 million. It's October now, and it's hard to get enough of it in the past two months. You know, your dad is a serious person, afraid of criticism from his superiors, and he has been sad all day long, sighing and sighing, I can't stand it anymore. ”
Chen Yuyan said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it just a deputy director, if it's not enough, it's not enough, and if it's not enough, I won't do it." ”
Tang Xiu hurriedly shushed: "You be quiet, let your father hear this, it's strange if he doesn't smoke you with his surname." ”
Lu Hong touched his nose when he heard this, thoughtful.
Tang Xiu glanced at Lu Hong and said to Chen Yuyan: "Yuyan, go into the kitchen and help my mother put rice." ”
"You ......" Chen Yuyan was very strange.
Tang Xiu looked at Lu Hong and said, "I have a few words to say to Lu Hong." ”
"Ah......" Chen Yuyan and Lu Hong were taken aback, didn't they, they still had something to teach?
"Mom......"
"Go!" Tang Xiu sighed lightly.
Chen Yuyan was reluctant to walk into the kitchen, of course, did not forget to turn around and give Lu Hong a "hello for yourself" look.
Lu Hong looked at Tang Xiu's slowly becoming serious face, and his heart became even more worried: "Auntie, what do you have to order?" ”
