Chapter 501: Xiangjiang
"You and Xiaolan are different after all, okay!" Wu Ke pouted and said.
"Coco, I think it's problematic for you to think like that!"
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Even if there is no Xiaolan, there will be no other girls?" You're so unconfident in me and yourself now, I can't have much contact with other girls anymore. If this is the case, will we have a happy life in the future? ”
Listening to Chu Chen's words, Wu Ke was silent for a while, although Chu Chen was her first love, but there is a way that she has never eaten pork, and she has seen a pig run, whether it is in books or classmates, or some things that have been heard, it is unmistakable that distrust is often the beginning of misfortune, and a marriage based on distrust is actually not long-lasting.
Just like Chu Chen said, if she was really suspicious, she would definitely not have a happy life in the future, and this was definitely something she didn't want to see.
In fact, think about it from another angle, since Chu Chen has such good conditions, he still looks up to her, and now he has reached the point of talking about marriage, if he doesn't really love her, why should he be like this? Besides, after so many years of contact, what kind of character Chu Chen has, doesn't she still understand?
Thinking of this, Wu Ke felt that she didn't need any superfluous thoughts at all, as long as she was happy with Chu Chen, wasn't the reason why she was with Chu Chen because she believed that Chu Chen would bring her a happy life?
"Achen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought about it!" Wu Ke said to Chu Chen apologetically.
Chu Chen stroked her hair and smiled, "Fool." You haven't done anything wrong, and what is there to be sorry for? But promise me. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell me. Don't hold it back! ”
"Well, I will! ……”
After more than three hours of flight, the plane that the two took landed at Xiangjiang International Airport, and when the two walked to the door with a salute, they saw Liu Sizhe sitting in business class smiling and waving goodbye to a child, and when he saw Chu Chen and Wu Ke, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked over. repeatedly whispered to urge the two of them to leave quickly.
After stepping off the plane, Chu Chen asked curiously, "What's the matter?" Look at you as if you've met some kind of man-eating tiger. ”
"What a tiger! That little guy is a monster! ”
Liu Sizhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You don't know what to do, that little guy just now is just skinny, I have never seen such a skinny child, from the capital to just getting off the plane, I haven't stopped for a moment, if I sit for another hour or two, I will collapse." ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Chu Chen said with a smile.
"It's not an exaggeration, I can't even imagine it now. What kind of life would it be if my son were so skinny! Speaking of this, Liu Sizhe showed a palpitating expression.
"You......"
"Ellie!"
Chu Chen was just about to say something with a smile when he saw Qiao Qian waving to them at the entrance. Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly greeted them.
After a while of greetings between the two sides, because Liu Sizhe wanted to go directly to Xiangjiang University to surprise Wang Xiaoyue. So he said hello to Josie and left first.
"Ellie. How many days are you going to stay this time? Josie asked as she walked.
"Twenty-nine or thirty!" Wu Ke said with a smile: "Our itinerary during this time will trouble you!" ”
"No problem, as long as you don't think I'm a light bulb." Josie said with a smile.
"How could this be!" Chu Chen and Wu Ke both shook their heads with a smile.
Qiao Qian saw the happy and sweet looks that Wu Ke and Chu Chen showed all the time. smiled: "I really envy the two of you, the relationship is so good." ”
Wu Ke grinned and said, "If you are envious, you should also find a boyfriend!" ”
Qiao Qian pretended to be sad and said, "How can it be so easy, and now with Brother Chu's comparison, it is even more difficult to find!" Why don't you give Brother Chu to me! ”
"Don't think!" Wu Ke smiled and refused directly, and then said: "By the way, Achen and I will get engaged on the sixth of next month, when we go back, you can go with us, and let us do our best as landlords at that time." ”
"Ahh So fast! Josie was surprised.
Wu Ke said: "It's not fast, didn't I tell you, I married Achen after graduation, and now it's just right to get engaged!" ”
Qiao Qian thought about it, and felt that in terms of days, it was indeed about the same, and just when she wanted to agree to Wu Ke's proposal, she suddenly thought of her own situation, so she could only politely refuse: "Ellie, I'm really sorry, something happened to my family, so I can't go over with me at that time." ”
"What?" Hearing her say this, Chu Chen and Wu Ke were both surprised, and Wu Ke hurriedly asked, "Qiao Qian, what's going on?" ”
Josie said with a sad face: "Didn't my dad open a small company, some time ago, a friend of my dad came to say that there was a very good investment project, he wanted to invest with my dad because of the lack of capital, and the return on capital was fast, my dad thought it was good, so he used the company's working capital to invest in." ”
"As a result, the project failed, and my dad's money was lost, and the disaster was not a single line, and a batch of products in my dad's company had problems, and he had to lose a lot of money. Originally, if the investment failed, it was okay, but now the company has no money to repay, and my parents are so anxious that they can only take the property to mortgage first. ”
Speaking of which, she was somewhat glad that she had paid all the tuition fees in one lump sum before, otherwise it would have been a hassle for her to even go to school.
"For such an important matter, why didn't Sister Jiaying give us a call?" Chu Chen said with a frown.
Qiao Qian was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then asked a little strangely: "Brother Chu, why do you call my mother Sister Jiaying?" ”
"Because your uncle is Achen's senior brother!" Wu Ke explained next to him.
Josie exclaimed with a look of surprise, "Ah! You said that my uncle, who died when he was a child, was Brother Chu's senior brother? ”
Wu Ke said with a smile: "Then there can be a fake, Liu Lao also asked Ah Chen to bring something to your mother!" ”
At the same time, the three of them walked to a taxi, put the salute away, and after getting into the car, Chu Chen said to Qiao Qian: "Don't worry about this, as long as your father doesn't need too much money, I can help him find a way." ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Qiao Qian hurriedly said gratefully: "Brother Chu, thank you so much!" ……”
Xiangjiang, an important financial, service and shipping center in Asia, is an international metropolis with the reputation of "Pearl of the Orient".
The word Xiangjiang, when Chu Chen was a child, was synonymous with a very mysterious and rich metropolis. Because it is located in a mountainous area, whether it is communication, transportation or information is not developed, those electronic watches, bell bottoms, walkmans, etc., which were popular in the eighties and nineties, did not gradually appear until Chu Chen went to the capital.
Chu Chen remembered that when the two dogs in the next village were wearing bell bottoms and walking companions, and five people and six people passed through Lujia Village, the people in the village were not to mention how surprised, and at that time, Chu Chen also had an infinite yearning for Xiangjiang for the first time, thinking that he must come over to see it in his lifetime.
Although he later went to the capital, saw the world, and had a certain understanding of Xiangjiang from TV, and now with the return of Xiangjiang, people know more and more about it, but the idea of coming to Xiangjiang to see it has not been diluted because of this, and this time he finally fulfilled his wish.
The appearance of Xiangjiang is basically the same as what is presented on TV, with ancient buildings and modern high-rise buildings coexisting, reflecting the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, and also making Chu Chen feel fresh.
In addition, the biggest feeling that Xiangjiang gave Chu Chen was that it was crowded, and on the endless road, there were pedestrians shuttling there all the time, and most of them had anxious emotions on their faces.
This situation made Chu Chen shake his head and sigh, this place is prosperous, but the pace of life is too fast, it is nothing for him to travel here, if he lives here, forget it, this is really very different from the idle cloud and wild crane-like life in his mind.
Along the way, Josie kept being a tour guide for the two of them, and briefly introduced the situation of Xiangjiang society.
If you want to say that this place in Xiangjiang is a place where every inch of land is expensive, the price of the house is of course not cheap, generally about ten times that of the capital, and the housing price is so high, of course, few people can afford to buy a big house.
For example, in a house of forty or fifty square meters, the average family of Xiangjiang people has to live in several families, and three generations of old and young live together, with bedrooms, living rooms, bunk beds, and bunks, which is very common.
Of course, housing prices are so expensive that it is certainly impossible for everyone to afford a house, and in order to cope with this situation, the government has formulated a fairly complete low-rent housing system.
It stipulates that low-cost tenants are eligible to spend money to buy low-rent housing and become their own property after living in low-rent housing for five years, and since it is their own property, then they can buy and sell freely, so many poor people five years ago have quickly embarked on the life step of having real estate to live in and sell through the support of low-rent housing policy.
The three of them got out of the car in front of a high-end apartment, and then Chu Chen and Wu Ke followed Qiao Qian to her house.
Qiao Qian's family lives on the third floor, which is a house of more than 130 square meters, which is already a luxury house in Xiangjiang, where there are generally only 40 or 50 square meters of housing.
However, such a house that Josie's family is proud of, but because of a failed investment by Josie's father, it is likely to change the head of the household immediately, and it is no wonder that as soon as Chu Chen stepped into Josie's house, it was obvious that her family was gloomy.
