Chapter 400 Fanwai (Weng Son-in-law)
The next day, Ning Xin handed over a leave slip, explained to her immediate boss Xing Lu the reason for going home, and set out on the way home.
Sun Chen originally planned to accompany him, but he thought that his presence might make his future mother-in-law uncomfortable, so he had to give up.
Because she didn't know the bottom of her heart, Ning Xin took ten days off, so Sun Chen could only go alone these days.
On this day, as soon as he returned to the dormitory from work in the big kitchen, he saw the big boss standing at the door of the dormitory-Ning Guotong.
He was there pacing with his head down, thinking about something, but he didn't see Sun Chen's arrival.
A passing colleague recognized him and greeted him, and he turned his head to look at them.
"Off work?" Ning Guotong smiled and interacted with the staff and saw Sun Chen at the end of the team.
"Come on."
……
"Has Xin Xin called you in the past two days?" As soon as he sat down, Ning Guotong couldn't wait to ask.
As soon as the ice broke in his relationship with his daughter, his daughter left, leaving not even a phone number.
Although Ning Guotong had many ways to get the number, he wanted his daughter to tell him herself. And he knew what his daughter was going back for this time, and he was afraid that he would scare Meijuan when he made a phone call.
He wondered if he should go and see the person who hadn't had the courage to approach for ten years, but he still couldn't put it into action.
"Uncle Ning is looking for me, is there something to say?"
Seeing that Ning Guotong was thinking to himself for a long time, but he didn't talk about the purpose of coming to him this time, Sun Chen couldn't help but ask.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm looking for your help."
"Oh?" Sun Chen understood, "Is it about Ning Xin?" ”
"That day, I gave Xinxin the dividends of Dingshengju over the years, but she rejected me and offered to use the money to do good deeds."
"Oh." Sun Chen nodded, this is indeed what Ning Xin would do. "It's good for her to do that."
For Ning Xin's disacceptance of Ning Guotong's prosperous residence, Sun Chen was not surprised at all. The reason why he was attracted to Ning Xin at the beginning was because he knew that Ning Xin was an independent and strong girl, even if she was almost overwhelmed by the burden of life, she could still stick to her bottom line.
Anyway, if you want something, you can always get it in the end.
"But I want you to persuade Xinxin that the dividends can be given up, and she must accept the shares of Dingshengju."
Sun Chen's answer did not anger Ning Guotong, but it made him a little impressed by his daughter's boyfriend.
This Sun Chen came to Dingshengju not for a day or two, and he should know that the dividend of Dingshengju that he just said will not be a small number, if Ning Xin accepts it, it will also be of great benefit to Sun Chen.
But when this young man heard that Ning Xin didn't ask for any dividends, the expression on his face was really too calm.
It was as if he had known the outcome in advance.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Ning, but I can't help you with this." Sun Chen refused without hesitation.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you're her boyfriend, and she'll always think about what you say." Ning Guo channel, "If you marry Ning Xin in the future, Ning Xin's acceptance of those shares is equivalent to giving you the same." ”
This huge temptation, Ning Guotong believes that Sun Chen will definitely not be able to resist.
"Since you have studied the chef major, the career you want to engage in in the future should be related to the catering industry, and Dingshengju happens to be the leader in this, whether you plan to continue to work in Dingshengju in the future, or to stand on your own, it will have unimaginable help."
"I believe that I don't need to tell you all these things, you already know them in your own heart."
"yes, I know." Sun Chen nodded.
Ning Guotong's words are undoubtedly very tempting for anyone who works hard in the catering industry and wants to make a little achievement. Ren is Sun Chen, and he was also moved by what he said.
Seeing Sun Chen's expression loosen, the corners of Ning Guotong's mouth hooked slightly, but in his heart, he was quite skeptical about Ning Xin's vision of finding a boyfriend.
Just threw a small bait, he already has this virtue, can his daughter and such a person go to the end?
"What Uncle Ning said is really desirable~" Sun Chen chuckled, "But I really can't help with your request~?" ”
"Let Xinxin accept the shares, you will struggle for at least thirty years less in the future, and all you have to do is to use your mouth to make her change her decision, I thought that such a choice question would not be wrong for anyone."
Ning Guotong said sternly, but in his heart he had some praise for Sun Chen, and he felt incredible in such a contradiction.
He hoped that Sun Chen would agree to persuade Ning Xin to accept the shares of Dingshengju, but if Sun Chen really agreed, he would think that the reason why this young man would agree was purely because he liked the benefits of Dingshengju.
He also hoped that Sun Chen would refuse his request and say that he was not with Ning Xin for money, but he was afraid that Ning Xin would suffer in the future.
He was in a dilemma, and he felt very irritable.
"It's Ning Xin's business to accept it or not, I think even if I'm her boyfriend, I don't have the right to decide what to do for her. Instead of you coming to me, think about how to face my mother-in-law and let her help persuade her. What she said worked a lot better than I did. ”
Ning Guotong originally came to Sun Chen because he was afraid of facing Qi Meijuan, but when Sun Chen said it at this time, he was instantly a little embarrassed, "I, I naturally have to go to her." ”
"That's good," Sun Chen smiled, as if he didn't notice the stiffness of Ning Guotong's expression, "I guess you're also very busy, and I can't help much, so I'll go back first!" ”
"Okay." Ning Guotong nodded, watching the young man in front of him leave as if he was running away, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
It seems that he really wants to do what he said, find a time to meet Meijuan.
"Meijuan, Na Meijuan, I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know if you still complain about me?"
In the open space, no one could answer his question.
……
Sun Chen still felt quite satisfied with the performance of his future father-in-law's summons this time in retrospect, and the only thing he was not satisfied with was that he felt that he was really under a lot of pressure in front of his father-in-law.
Dingshengju has done too much and too successfully, with a jewel like him in front, he can't work hard.
Originally, he thought that as long as he had the ability to give her a prosperous and smooth future, he would be able to have enough confidence to propose to her after getting his graduation certificate, but Sun Chen felt that it was necessary for him to redefine the standard of wealth and smoothness now.
After all, even if it is a well-off family, for Ning Guotong's height, it can only be said that he is not hungry.
This kind of realization made Sun Chen a little irritable.
The original calm and indifference on his face became more and more difficult to maintain, and every day his mind was like a marquee, pondering one path to rise after another.
There are many ideas that have emerged, but they are all suppressed by Sun Chen himself at the first time, either there is a great risk, or the conditions required are too harsh, and the current Sun Chen is completely unable to achieve it.
With a lot of thoughts, I naturally don't have the original concentration of immersing my whole body and mind in it, and inevitably, there will be mistakes.
Although these small mistakes were within the controllable range and did not cause major losses, they still caused Xing Lu's dissatisfaction. One assistant is gone, shouldn't the other assistant be more diligent and smarter, why is this getting more and more sluggish?
No way! Be sure to report it!
So Ning Guotong, who paid a lot of attention to Sun Chen, quickly learned about his changes from Xing Lu's mouth.
……
"Sun Chen, come to Geely Farm." Ning Guotong's phone call was short, but Sun Chen, who received the call, had no right to refuse, "Don't say that you are not available at work, I know that Xing Lu has given you a holiday." ”
"Okay, I'll go."
Geely Farm is a leisure place located on the outskirts of the city, similar to a real-life version of QQ Farm, where guests who want to experience the joy of the countryside can spend a certain amount of money to grow any crop they want on a piece of planned land.
Urban people living in the reinforced concrete jungle will have the desire to farm and get close to nature in their hearts, so Geely Farm has been highly sought after by these urbanites in just a few years after its opening.
The farm has a gardener who helps you take care of your small plots of land when you don't have time to take care of it, so that the farmland will not be abandoned. Best of all, there is a canteen in the farm, where you can process the vegetables you pick in the field and eat them.
What could be more enjoyable than eating the food you grow yourself?
When Sun Chen arrived, he was led by the staff of the farm to a bamboo fence and a vegetable garden about half an acre in size.
Ning Guotong was wearing a loose gray overalls, squatting there to set up a stand for the tomatoes that were about to bear fruit, when he saw Sun Chen coming over and beckoned to him, "Come over and help." ”
Sun Chen smiled, rolled up his sleeves and walked cautiously to him.
There are only a dozen tomatoes, and the scaffolding is quickly erected, Ning Guotong commanded Sun Chen to carry water and water the vegetables, and at the end they also took a small shovel to cut off a ridge of leeks that were just enough to eat, and prepared to let the canteen here make a leek box at noon.
"I see that you are doing farm work very well, your family used to farm?" Sun Chen's actions were neat, and he didn't look like he hadn't been exposed to farm work at all, so Ning Guotong couldn't help but ask.
Sun Chen paused, "No, when I was a child, when I went to a relative's house and watched the adults do it, I thought it was fun, so I made some together." ”
Sun Chen's family has been eating public grain since his grandfather's generation, and his mother's family is also a town hukou, and he doesn't have half of the farmland, he just wants to farm, and he doesn't have that opportunity, all his farming experience is accumulated in the previous life.
These experiences have been deeply engraved in his bone marrow and will never be erased. Whenever he thinks about it, he will always sigh, who would have thought that the peasant boy who was tortured a moment ago would become a city boy who grew up under the red flag with both parents and parents in the blink of an eye?
"You're pretty good, then." Ning Guotong's eyes flashed, and he nodded in praise.
"Hehe~"
……
Gili Farm Canteen.
"Eat, this is the first knife leek, and it is the most fragrant."
As soon as the leek box came up, Ning Guotong opened his mouth to give way.
The intimate canteen staff also served two bowls of thick millet porridge, which was also produced by the farm itself.
"There are free-range chickens in the cafeteria today, it should be fine for a while."
"And meat here?" Sun Chen was very surprised. The farms are all self-producing, so I think I should have enclosed some land to make a farm!
"Well, if you want to make money, you have to try to meet the needs of customers, even if the vegetables you grow are delicious, some people are not willing to be rabbits."
After Ning Guotong's words, Sun Chen only felt that his future father-in-law seemed to be much closer to him, and look, this joke was all on~
……
The lunch time was very relaxed, Sun Chen ate very deliciously, and the most shocking thing was that at the end, he heard the voice of his future father-in-law: "Ah Chen, can I call you like that?" I called you over today to have a good relationship with you~"
"Uh-huh?!" Sun Chen was a little confused.
"It can be seen that Xinxin's girl is very dependent on you, if nothing else, you are my son-in-law."
"I have such a plan, I want to marry Ning Xin after graduation." The great joy instantly overwhelmed all of Sun Chen's perceptions, and when the future father-in-law said this, was he going to admit him as a son-in-law? In this case, Sun Chen also generously admitted his plan.
"That's why I want to have a good relationship with you as much as possible before that, after all, my daughter will live under the same roof with you in the future, and if I don't please you, I'm afraid my daughter will be angry." Ning Guotong expressed his appreciation for Sun Chen's plan, but he was still joking with him.
"No, Uncle Ning," Sun Chen was a little frightened when he heard Ning Guotong say this, God knew that he couldn't hold Ning Xin in the palm of his hand, how could he make her angry?
"I am sincere to Ning Xin, so even if I get married in the future, I will do my best to be good to her, and I will never bully her."
"Ning Xin was lucky to be able to meet you." Ning Guotong nodded. "I never think that the right person will be a solid cornerstone in a marriage, only you like each other and put each other's needs first, even if you follow you to eat chaff vegetables, I think Xinxin is also willing."
Sun Chen was shocked, and he didn't know what to say, the inferiority complex in his heart was discovered?
"When I married her mother, my salary was eighty yuan a month...... "Ning Guotong seemed to be reminiscing, and his voice was long and empty," ...... It is said that poor couples mourn everything, but my happiest time was the two years when my family of three shrunk into a rental house of only a dozen square meters. ”
"I'm sorry Uncle Ning, I'm worried about you!" Sun Chen stood up and bowed in the direction where Ning Guotong was, his tone was full of guilt after an epiphany, "I've figured it out, I won't be arrogant in the future!" ”
"It's good to figure it out, remember not to drill the horns in the future!" Ning Guotong nodded.
