Chapter 2 The Chen family does not tolerate mediocre people
Chen Jianjun and Zhong Li left abruptly, Chen Ran's face softened a little, and Lin Quan said with a smile: "I felt that the atmosphere was wrong when I entered the house, and it turned out that I was making a fuss about this." ”
"It's not that you don't know people like my mom and my dad," Chen Chu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "She ran to other people's units to make trouble, and my dad also greeted and pressured the leaders of his company, how can there be such parents in the world?" ”
"Alas," Chen Ran sighed, "don't hate your parents, they think that money and power are the best, and they just want you to choose the best...... Emotional matters, after a little setback, who is that young man, bring it over for me to see. Chen Ran waved his hand and said to Chen Chu: "You help Aunt Xiao Zhang clean up, and let Xiao Yi send you back later." Don't worry, the little guy easily doesn't speak, since he has spoken, your parents don't dare to toss anymore for a while. ”
"What's my business?" Lin Quan spread his hands, "My dad was also a poor relative back then, I can't be angry about this." ”
"Heh," Chen Ran raised his eyebrows, "Chu Chu is not your brother and sister?" How dare you play tricks on me! ”
"Yes, complain about me talking too much," Lin Quan snorted bitterly, tilted his head sideways but grimaced at Chen Chu, "Your friend's name is Liang Qi, right, I'm free at night, please drink coffee." ”
Chen Chu and Ji Yong helped the nanny clean up the dishes, Chen Ran sighed, laughed at himself and said: "Your two uncles are not angry, Chu Chu and they are not so pampered, maybe there can be one or two successful ones." ”
"Well, I grew up with Chu Chu and them, and their surnames are not worse than mine, but Chen Qin and Chen Qi are still young, and Chen Jin is a civil servant, so I don't have time to talk to them. Yue Yue, a little girl, is very delicate, has no opinions, and has never suffered hardship. Chu Chu's surname is stronger, but he is a little lazy, and his aunt is so troublesome, I think it will be better in the future, after all, he is a strong person. ”
"Hehe," Chen Ran laughed, seeing that Lin Quan knew it, he didn't say much, and asked, "I haven't seen Xiao Slippery for a few days, and he suddenly came to see Lao Immortal, is there something to ask me?" Engaging in the economy, you don't have to ask me, what is the use of me being old and immortal? Oh, the general election, if you don't discuss this matter with Geng Yimin and Zhao Zeng, come to me, is there something that even Geng Yimin and Zhao Zeng can't say? ”
"Engaging in politics, I can't do it after all," Lin Quan bent over, as if he was afraid that what he said would be heard by others, "Zhang Quan is there, and it's never a ...... thing."
Coming out of the old house, it was already past nine o'clock, and the car drove north around Luhong Town, until it went to the suburb of Pioneer Town to pick up Chen Chu's boyfriend Liang Qi. Liang Qi is tall and thin, with a very bookish atmosphere, and his eyes are not big, but he is hidden behind the lenses, and he is quite attentive. Chen Chu did not mention Lin Quan's existence in front of Liang Qi, not because she and Lin Quan had a child-like emotion, but Chen Chu did not want to use the Chen family's family situation to stimulate Liang Qi's self-esteem. Even when the car stopped, Chen Chu didn't know how to introduce Lin Quan to Liang Qi.
What is the Lin family? Chen Chu thought to himself: How many years, parents, second uncle, and sister-in-law have never regarded the third aunt's family as relatives!
Liang Qi's family's somewhat old two-story building is quiet at night, and it is really not a rich family in the suburbs, nor is it poor. Lin Quan looked at Liang Qi through the window, and said indifferently, "You know me? ”
The silver-gray volvo exudes wealth and nobility in the night, Liang Qi's heart is a little flustered at this time, Chen Chu didn't make it clear when he was on the phone, he only said that he would bring someone to see him, when he saw Lin Quan, he inevitably had an ominous feeling in his heart, and he was as weak as exhausting the air, but he stood there calmly, looking back at Lin Quan's somewhat sharp eyes: "I'm sorry, Chu Chu didn't mention you, my name is Liang Qi, you know me?" ”
"Heh," Lin Quan couldn't help but want to whistle, looking at this young man who was only two or three years younger than himself, "I hope you will let Chu Chu go?" When you see this car, you should be self-aware......"
"Little man!" Chen Chu looked at Lin Quan in surprise, not knowing why he said this.
Liang Qi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, stared at Chen Chu with a side face, ignored the silver-gray volvo, and whispered: "Chu Chu asked me to let go, and I will let go......"
"That's not the case, he's my brother, kidding you!" Chen Chu saw that Liang Qi's face was wrong, so he hurriedly explained, turned around and kicked the car, and scolded Lin Quan, "Little man, what are you talking nonsense!" ”
"Hehe, just kidding!" Lin Quan pushed the door and got out of the car, and stretched out his hand over, "Lin Quan, Xiao Chu's cousin." After shaking Liang Qi's hand, he was sweaty, and he was embarrassed to wipe it with a tissue, and snickered in his heart: The kid was scared!
In 00 years, the sedan is not rare, although Volvo is precious, but there are not many people who can recognize its prestige at night, after all, it is not BMW, Mercedes-Benz those well-known luxury cars, but in the middle of the night from the road into the yard, it is still quite eye-catching, at this time, Liang Qi's neighbors have come out to take a look.
Chen Chu's mother went to Liang Qi's unit to make a fuss, not only made Liang Qi unable to gain a foothold in the unit, but also made the villagers know about it. However, Chen Jianjun and his wife are indeed annoying, and at this time, Liang Qi's family gathered some neighbors, all of whom were ready to fight unevenly. Liang Qi explained apologetically, introducing Lin Quan as Chen Chu's cousin.
Being in a high position, his dignified posture and bearing often make people mistakenly think that this person is naturally imposing, but also fearful, Lin Quan also knew that he couldn't talk about anything with Liang Qi at this time, so he drank a bowl of sweet water soaked by Liang Qi's mother, so he said goodbye and left, and made an appointment to invite him to dinner with Chen Chu tomorrow.
Before getting into the car, Lin Quan joked with Chen Chu: "If you don't stay here, I will tell your mother that you will accompany Jingyi." ”
"Phew!" Chen Chu knew how much influence Lin Quan had in the family, as long as he asked about it, there would be no pressure on her parents, Liang Qi lost his job, he could find another job, it was no big deal, thinking about it like this, his mood improved.
Chen Chu asked Lin Quan to send her home, took the elevator upstairs, just thinking about what her parents would look like, pushed the door into the house, Chen Jianjun and Zhong Li really lived in the living room, waiting for Chen Chu to come back, their faces were gloomy, but they couldn't bear it.
"You left the old mansion at nine o'clock?"
"Oh." Chen Chu responded casually, bent down to untie his shoes.
"How can Lin Quan talk to us like this," Zhong Li was still a little indignant, and wanted to arouse her daughter Chen Chu's hatred, "You say, when did we become poor relatives?" ”
"Do you want to look down on others, and don't allow others to look down on you?" Chen Chu said angrily.
"Look at your good daughter's tone, am I still her mother?" Zhong Li turned her head to Chen Jianjun angrily and said, "It's almost like I treat her as a mother!" ”
"You want to be young again!" Chen Chu made up his mind not to give her parents a straight look, and threw the bag on the low table in the hallway, "How can there be such a good thing!" ”
Zhong Li smiled angrily, Chen Jianjun never spoke, and only then did he ask, "What did the little guy say?" ”
"What can you say," Chen Chu said softly, "Didn't you treat the third aunt's family as poor relatives back then?" The third aunt's family is developed, so why don't they be a little snobbish? ”
Chen Chu saw that her parents were still going to ask something, so she hurriedly flashed into her room, closed the door tightly, and threw herself on the bed at once, only to feel quite relieved. I was excited alone for a while, and then I remembered to call Liang Qi and tell him about tomorrow's dinner: "You have a good rest today, and be energetic tomorrow, my cousin is very picky and poisonous, if he doesn't help us, we will only elope." ”
"Why have I never heard you mention your cousin?" Liang Qi asked with some hesitation, "Can your cousin change your parents' mind?" ”
"My parents are the kind of people who are strong when they are weak, and weak when they are strong, if they can help us speak, my parents will not dare to make trouble again, alas, it would be good to invite this great god a long time ago, and you will lose your job now."
"It's okay, you can find it again if you lose your job," Liang Qi didn't forget to inquire about Lin Quan's identity, "What does your cousin do, he looks very generous, sitting there is just a smile and pressure on people." ”
"I mentioned to you that I also have a third aunt, Xiao Yan is the son of my third aunt, and we were very close when we were young, and then my family moved to the provincial capital, a little rusty, today I asked my grandfather to judge, just met him, oh, by the way, my grandfather also wants to meet you."
Liang Qi is the kind of person who has never eaten pork but has seen a pig run, the silver-gray Volvo will never be an ordinary car, and Lin Quan's identity is either rich or expensive.
The next day, it was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Liang Qi received a call from Chen Chu, and made an appointment with the lunch hotel, "Xiushui?" Yalan", a restaurant that will have a big reputation in a certain level of circle, Liang Qi occasionally heard the company's leaders boast when mentioned, for a while I don't know what clothes to wear, I heard that this kind of occasion must wear formal clothes, open the wardrobe, only to find that the two suits have not been sent to dry cleaning for a long time, and I picked a suit that looks neat and tidy, and came to the place agreed by Chen Chu.
Lin Quan was wearing a canvas blouse, and he was also wearing sneakers under his feet, which was extremely incompatible with Xiushui Yalan's noble floor, but Lin Quan was not at all uncomfortable, and walked through the automatic door while joking with Fang Nan sideways. Fang Nan lowered his eyebrows and smiled, the style between his eyebrows was boundless, his figure was plump and slender, his pink-purple professional skirt, and his slender and slender calves added to the charming style.
Ji Yong followed behind, Lin Quan did not have the habit of letting Ji Yong wait for him in the car, as long as it was not a very formal occasion, he would generally invite Ji Yong to eat together.
"Where's the light rain?" Chen Chu came over and asked, she thought about Xiao Siyu, grabbed Fang Nan's arm, and pulled her to the seat.
Lin Quan's brows jumped, this was a name that he couldn't forget, a name that haunted him. Lin Quan stretched out his hand and asked Liang Qi to go first: "Just came out of the gymnasium, I'm afraid you can't wait, so you didn't change your clothes." ”
The hostess came up with the menu, and the manager walked over from behind, took the menu in the hostess's hand, and said to Lin Quan with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I don't know if you are here, is it a change of place?" ”
"It's good here," Fang Nan took the menu from the manager's hand, "You are busy in advance, just call a receptionist to come over." ”
The manager left with a smile, and Achu introduced Fang Nan to Liang Qi, only saying that Fang Nan was Lin Quan's assistant. Of course Liang Qi didn't believe it, the intimacy between Lin Quan and Fang Nan had long exceeded the boundary between the boss and the assistant, and Fang Nan's temperament cultivated over the years coupled with her gorgeous appearance made it difficult to associate her with an assistant with ordinary opinions.
At this moment, Liang Qi knew that Lin Quan's status was really different, there were many cars parked outside that were more advanced than Volvo, and he didn't see the restaurant manager come down to greet him in person, Fang Nan made a decision for Lin Quan very casually, and let Liang Qi affirm his speculation.
Fang Nan and Chen Chutou got together to discuss the menu, Lin Quan looked at Liang Qi, his eyes were not as sharp as when they first met yesterday, but Liang Qi still felt the pressure, today will not be as simple as just eating a meal. Although there are not many people who are qualified to let Lin Quan face it with a pandering attitude, but the feeling of giving attention to others can undoubtedly get the respect of others, and at this point, Lin Quan has always paid attention to details. After a few words of conversation, Liang Qi's initial tension and pressure disappeared.
Lin Quan likes to eat foie gras, and specially helped Liang Qi order more. Lin Quan learned the most from his grandfather Chen Ran is the ability to look at people, a person's ability and surname will be reflected in the details, the key is to let the other party relax their vigilance. Liang Qi's conversation and behavior also satisfied Lin Quan, and he thought to himself: No wonder Xiao Nizi wants to run away from home. Grandpa Chen Ran's meaning, Lin Quan knows, Chen Ran is very disappointed in Chen Jianjun's brothers and sisters, this disappointment penetrates into the flesh and bones, penetrates into the heart and lungs, but it is very urgent that Chen Chu's generation can have people who have achieved great things, and the Chen family, as a big family in Jinghai, must have someone to continue. If Liang Qi is really capable, he probably won't be able to escape the fate of being rich, Lin Quan looked at Liang Qi and snickered in his heart: Grandpa is really an old man, Chen Chu and Chen Yue are looking for a boyfriend, if the family background is quite good, then there will be resistance.
With a good family background, who is happy to be rich?
Near the end of the banquet, Fang Nan raised his head to summon the waiter, turned his head sideways to sign the order, Liang Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "It is said that I should invite my brother to you, but ...... I'm not going to be polite to my brother. ”
Lin Quan waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't mind, next time find a night stall for you to invite, I'm not used to it here, it's just the first time I'm eating with you, I must order it officially, otherwise Xiao Chu will scold me!" ”
The four of them went out of the restaurant, Ji Yong went out first and opened the car door, Lin Quan opened the car door, stepped into the car with one foot, turned his head to look at Liang Qi, and said: "Don't complain about Xiao Chu's parents, the Chen family really can't tolerate mediocre people......" As soon as these words came out, the harmonious atmosphere immediately became solemn, Chen Chu turned his head sideways in confusion, looked at Lin Quan, and saw that he was serious, not like a joke, "Xiao Chu's vision is good, you are a very thoughtful person, why don't you sort out your thoughts, Let's see if it's possible. Lin Quan said to Chen Chu again, "If you want your uncle and aunt to accept the two of you, you must have your own career, don't think about changing their views, and don't have the childish idea of not having contact with them for the rest of your life." ”
After Lin Quan said this, he lowered his head and got into the car, not looking at Chen Chu and Liang Qi's reactions.
Waiting for Fang Nan's slender little feet to be put into the car, the door closed silently, and Lin Quan, who was sitting in, could not be seen from the window with reflective film, until the silver-gray volvo dissolved into the gradually lit white night lights, Liang Qi suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Chen Chu suspiciously: "What does your cousin mean......"
"Ah," Chen Chu hugged Liang Qi's arm excitedly, "Haven't you always had the idea of engaging in direct sales of books, do it, with the little ones supporting us, we will definitely succeed." ”
"Our book direct sales are different from online bookstores and traditional bookstores, but a new model that combines door-to-door sales with warehouse sales and network marketing, can your cousin accept such a concept?" Liang Qi was a little less confident, "This new model is still just my imagination, it will take a long time to practice to gradually mature, maybe many years have passed, I am still just a small bookseller, when the time comes, I am afraid that you will still disappoint your parents." ”
"It's enough for you to please me," Chen Chu half-hugged Liang Qi, his eyes lit up with fascination, "The criterion of success is not the only one, we have at least tried to change the reading habits of a city, do you know what I like most about you?" Your eyes sparkle when you talk about your ideals, and it's the most charming at that time! ”
Liang Qi grabbed Chen Chu's slender waist, hugged the woman he loved tightly, looked at the night when Lin Quanche disappeared, and said: "Yes, what do we have to worry about, it's a big deal to go back to be a small clerk, at least we have worked hard to change the reading habits of a city." ”――
Lin Quan held Fang Nan's soft and tender hand in his hand, and the reason for drinking some wine was that Fang Nan's white and tender face was covered with a layer of pink, which extended to his neck, and he was strangely beautiful. Lin Quan looked at Fang Nan's side face intently, feeling that he couldn't get enough of it. Fang Nan smiled and pulled his head away, Lin Quan dodged his head, bit her fingers playfully, and stretched out his tongue to lick her palm. Fang Nan squeezed out a disgusting look on his brows, and wiped Lin Quan's face with his wet palm. Lin Quan didn't care about his saliva, he pressed against Fang Nan's palm, and people leaned towards her.
Fang Nan held Lin Quan's head, slowly let Lin Quan's head rest on his soft and plump chest, and pressed his fingers against his temples to soothe the nerves that had been crumbling all day.
"How are you going to help Chen Chu and them?" Fang Nan asked curiously.
"It won't help too much, if success is too simple, it probably won't be cherished," Lin Quan hummed with enjoyment, lazily, peeping at Ji Yong who couldn't see them from the perspective of the rearview mirror, and rubbed Fang Nan's crisp chest mischievously, causing Fang Nan to slap him, "The Chen family now needs down-to-earth talents, not impetuous and arrogant speculators, heh, the Chen family doesn't seem to lack impetuous and high-spirited people." ”
"What grievances are you talking about in your mouth, like smoke and clouds, the wind is scattered, isn't it unusually demanding on the Chen family's side at the end?" Fang Nan pinched Lin Quan's cheek, "You are really a hypocritical person, your second uncle has approached Xu Jian many times, and you want to do business in Tianxing Lake?" ”
"Yards?" Lin Quan grinned, "It's really embarrassing for Xu Jian how big the yard can be." You go to Liantou tomorrow to announce that the people from the Chen family and the Lin family will come to the door, and I must personally release it, so as not to embarrass Xu Jian and Gu Xiaoling. ”
"Do you want to go to Secretary Geng's house?" Fang Nan asked softly.
"Well, I'll send you home first."
"I'll just call a taxi myself."
"I want to spend a little more time with you."
Fang Nan felt a burst of tenderness in his heart, his arms wrapped around Lin Quan's thin body, his chin slammed on his forehead, staring at his slightly tired eyes and straight nose; Lin Quan will only relax himself if he is with Fang Nan.
