Chapter 229: The Gathering
"Cancan, you haven't told me yet, how did you and Grandpa meet?" When he went upstairs, Chen Jiu suddenly remembered what Cui Can said when he met his grandfather. Although the third aunt asked her grandfather at that time, she was rejected by her grandfather with a smile, saying what secret. He thought, at this time, he has the qualifications to know, right? After all, he is already Cui Can's family. Just when he left the Chen family's old house, he had already told his grandfather and everyone that Cui Can had agreed to his marriage proposal. And grandpa also said that he was going to start preparing for marriage, and they would get married just waiting for Cui Can to come back from abroad.
Cui Can smiled, but he didn't say that he couldn't say a secret like Grandpa Chen. "I met my grandfather at the principal, and at that time I didn't know his identity, only that he was a person who was respected by the principal."
"It's as simple as that?" Chen Jiu was a little incredulous, what was there to keep secret?
"Yes, it's that simple, grandpa is just an old naughty boy, that's why I have to say that." Cui Can knew what Chen Jiu was thinking, and when she thought of Old Man Chen, she also felt helpless. It's obviously a very simple thing, but when the old man said this, it was as if there was really some secret between himself and the old man. Didn't you see that the eyes of the whole family looking at themselves at that time were full of calculations?
"Cancan, you don't like my home because of this, do you?" Knowing what Cui Can remembered at this time, Chen Jiu was still a little worried. He knows that Cui Can likes simple people and things, and he can get to where he is today because of his persistence and sincerity. So he didn't want to make Cui Can full of resistance to the future of the two because of others, if that was really the case. He may stay away from these family members for Cui Can, but he will also have some regrets in his heart. Such a future is not what he wants, and presumably Cui Can will not be happy to see it.
Really. Cui Can shook his head. "It's okay, who doesn't have something bad going on? Besides, each of them lives their own lives, and the time they meet is still tolerable. β
"Hehe, listening to your tone, you have obviously begun to calculate our married life." Chen Jiu likes Cui Can's way of talking to him like this, it seems that the two of them are working hard to get married and be together. This made him feel a lot more at ease when he had never felt safe.
But when he saw the people standing at Cui Can's door, waiting for the two of them, his steadfastness turned into worry again. Looking at Cui Can's eyes, they were full of accusations and grievances, and he almost bit his fingers with tears in his eyes.
Cui Can's heart was helpless when Chen Jiu looked at him like this, and his expression was also a little helpless. This made Chen Jiu more aware of Cui Can's weakness. I was secretly happy.
Cao Rongtao, who was standing at Cui Can's door and waiting, also saw Chen Jiu's expression, and at the same time he was contemptuous, he also had a little envy. Being able to show such an expression in front of Cui Can, does it mean that Cui Can is a little doting on him? Although it is a little awkward to say this, Cui Can's expression at this time obviously means so. So did my previous relationship with her come to this point because I was too tough? For a moment, Cao Rongtao's heart was full of loss and regret, and the whole person seemed a little discouraged.
Although Cui Can was made a mess by Chen Jiu. But he didn't lose his mind, and looked at Cao Rongtao with a smile. "When did you come? Why didn't you call me? β
"Just arrived. I want to celebrate your victory. As he spoke, Cao Rongtao also raised the champagne and cooked food in his hand.
At this moment, Cui Can and Chen Jiu realized that he was still carrying something in his hand. Cui Can opened the door and took the lead and walked in. "Come in, I'll call Brother Li in a while and ask him to come over too, as well as Zhang Qian. Let's have a good party. β
It's a holiday, and those few must be busy in the beauty club at this time, so they just take this opportunity to get together. As he spoke, Cui Can called Zhang Qian and a few others, as well as Li Shixun and Ma Tianming. Ma Tianming should be on the construction company's side now, after all, as a representative of another partner, he still has to appear in the company often when he is fine. Cui Can, on the other hand, is completely the boss of the hand, and only appears in the company when the year-end dividend is distributed every year.
The construction company has been completely on the right track, not only gaining a foothold in the capital, but also opening up its popularity because of several cooperation with Chen Jiu's construction company. The most important thing is that Cui Can, through his contact with John, invited a top student from their school who thought he was a top student of the architecture department. This gentleman, although he is an Englishman, is very fond of Chinese food, and most importantly, he likes to live in China. So for Cui Can's invitation, he agreed without thinking about it at all. And with his joining, the whole grade of the company has also improved a lot, and now it can participate in the bidding of some large-scale projects.
So for the construction company, Cui Can didn't put much energy at all. Even on the side of the beauty club, Cui Can was completely handed over to Zhang Qian and Li Fang. In the past few years, Cui Can's energy has been spent on learning, first in various foreign languages, she has dabbled in almost all subjects, and then calligraphy and Chinese painting, calligraphy has become her own family, and Chinese painting is only an extension of calligraphy. And what she is most concerned about is the spirit of books and the spirit of words, the spirit of books is no longer satisfied with the current books, it can also be said that almost all libraries in the country have been plagiarized by it, some small libraries of course do not, and even private collections of books have not been collected by it. But those can still have a national library? How much more could there be a national library? And the most important thing that the book spirit lacks is those so-called private collections.
Ziling, because Cui Can's unremitting efforts have begun to have awareness, she can communicate with Cui Can simply, and also let Cui Can know that her achievements in the field of calligraphy and painting are necessary for the growth of Ziling, so she is always working hard to practice calligraphy and painting.
Soon several people who were called rushed over, and in the past few years, the three of them who have followed Cui Can and Zhao Yuqi have also been worth a little, and they have all bought houses in the capital. Of course, Chen Jiu and Cui Can are here, their houses are naturally cheaper than others, and the three of them also learned to drive, and after getting their driver's licenses, they all bought their own cars. Now it's an elite. For all these changes, the three of them know in their hearts. Especially Li Fang, since she helped Cui Can set up a beauty club, not only has the mental outlook of the whole person changed, but also the family's economic situation has also improved. First of all, the money for her schooling. Parents don't have to worry anymore. Then she bought a store house for her parents in her hometown and started a small business. Then I have paid enough pension insurance to my parents, and I am about to receive a pension. She can be said to have no worries anymore.
And Zhao Yuqi. Because he runs a beauty club, he can no longer hide his beauty, so he not only gains a career, but also a precious love. and her high school boyfriend finally parted ways. It can only be said that everything is made to make people. That boy himself has no self-confidence and allows his girlfriend to hide his beauty, which is also understandable. But he doesn't have the ability to create a better future for his girlfriend. even got rid of his girlfriend who gave everything for him for his future. What about the end? Ended up losing both personal and financial resources. It can only be said that the calculation will be rewarded in the end.
Zhang Qian is not to mention, because she participated in the construction of the beauty club. had more contact with Li Shixun, and he took the opportunity to capture Li Shixun's heart. The two are now waiting to graduate and get married, and they are the first of the sisters to gain love. Now only Li Fang is still single, and she herself doesn't seem to be in a hurry. After all, because of her lack of confidence, she missed her first crush. Since then. She doesn't seem to be so enthusiastic about her boyfriend, but she puts more energy into her career. It seems that this can make her find self-confidence, let her find her goal, and find security.
Regarding the emotional experience of his friends, Cui Can can only be a bystander, giving them some advice when they need it. But you can't do it all. And their friendship has also withstood the test of time and interests, for several years. The three of them worked hard in the beauty club, and they didn't hesitate because they were friends with each other. And the accounting of the beauty club was also brought over by Cui Can from Dingping, which was the former accounting accountant Jiang of Sihe Construction Company.
Because she was excavated by Cui Can before the Sihe Company, she was a little loyal to Cui Can. When the company analyzed, she was hurt again, although her husband didn't have a big deal in the end. But it also made her have scruples about Director Zhang and them in her heart. At this time, Cui Can threw out an olive branch and transferred their family to the capital. Needless to say, her husband and children were also arranged by Cui Can for suitable positions, and the family has already bought a house and a car in the capital. It's like he's already an authentic Beijinger.
So for Cui Can, in addition to being grateful, she is trying to do her job well, so that Cui Can has no worries. And Zhang Qian and the three of them also respect her, and they will ask for some of her opinions on many things. So the whole beauty club is very harmonious, not only the leadership, but also the beauticians below. So for the beauty club, Cui Can has nothing to say, and the rest is only assured.
By the time Ma Tianming and Li Shixun, who had traveled the farthest along the road, returned, the table was already full of all kinds of exquisite food. Of course, you can't expect these to be made by Chen Jiu, in Chen Jiu's words, he only cooks for Cui Can. So these are the results of the cooperation of several women in the house, Cui Can made four dishes, Zhang Qian and Li Fang made four, and finally Zhao Yuqi, she made six dishes. I have to say that this girl is already qualified to marry, just waiting for Xu Ling and her to get married after graduation.
Yes, her boyfriend is Cui Can's former alumnus Xu Ling. The two have been familiar with each other for a long time, and because they both help Cui Can do things, they are becoming more and more familiar. As time goes by, it is only natural for the two to have a good feeling and come together.
Today they are all familiar people, so Xu Ling was also brought by Zhao Yuqi, after all, he and Cao Rongtao and Ma Tianming are also acquaintances, and they are all young people, so there is nothing to say about the good atmosphere together. As the protagonist of today's celebration, Cui Can calmly said a few words of acceptance speech.
"I am winning this award today, first of all, I would like to thank my parents, my teachers and school, and my friends. Because of their company and encouragement, I have today's achievements......"
No one heard what Cui Can said later, but everyone in the room laughed, even Cao Rongtao, who was so serious, also pursed his lips and smiled, it seemed that Cui Can's funny award impression pleased everyone. Chen Jiu looked at Cui Can, who was so smart, and when he smiled, his eyes were full of pride and like. The corner of his eyes swept over Cao Rongtao, and he found that his expression was similar to his own, but in the end, there was only regret left.
"Hey, how can you be so disrespectful? People are talking about their acceptance speeches, what are your expressions? Cui Can pouted, and a group of friends were dissatisfied with coquettishness.
"Haha, Cui Can, for the first time, I found out that you still have the potential to be funny. I always thought that only someone as cheerful as me had such qualifications? Li Fang clutched her stomach, and her voice seemed to be lacking in qi.
Zhang Qian also had a rare smile that hurt her stomach, "Cui Can, will you let us go?" You have always been high in our eyes, and suddenly there is such a big gap, how can we adapt to it? β
"It's just that a person who was so mature suddenly is so naΓ―ve, it's really a big contrast." Since Zhao Yuqi tore off his disguise, he has also revealed his true colors, and he is also a person who loves to talk and laugh with these friends.
Ma Tianming had been looking at Cui Can and everyone with a smile, and when she heard a few of her friends say this, she just smiled a little bigger. For Cui Can, although he has given up, the regret in his heart is not much less than that of Cao Rongtao. Over the years, he has had a bit of a headache entangled by that Zhuoya. Although she repeatedly refused, she was always unable to get rid of her. Just when she was starting to get used to such a noisy girl, she actually made herself disappear. Let his heart always worry about such a girl, and the reluctance to Cui Can seems to have disappeared with the disappearance of that girl. Seeing everyone smiling so happily, he just pursed his lips and smiled, the loss in his heart is always difficult to disappear, it seems that he should go to find the girl who disappeared.
Xu Ling's eyes moved away from Cui Can's body and hugged Zhao Yuqi, who was smiling. He and Zhao Yuqi knew each other because of Cui Can, and they came together because of Cui Can, so he didn't know what feelings he should use to face Cui Can. The ignorance of the first love was because of Cui Can, but the damage left by the first love also came from Cui Can. Now his work actually depends on Cui Can, and Cui Can has become a person who can't get rid of in his life. Although she can't be a partner, becoming a friend is also his gain, not to mention that she also introduced her best friend to herself, so that she found a suitable partner for herself, so he has always been very conflicted about Cui Can's feelings.
