Chapter 230: Neither humble nor arrogant
"That's certainly a reason." Chen Zihan did not deny, "For any person, what attracts him must be a good first impression." But no matter how good the first impression is, if there is no internal thing to support the follow-up, the attraction will not be converted into like. ”
"When we were with Ruorong, we had a tacit understanding from the bottom of our hearts. The first time I met it, I felt like I had known each other for a long time, and there was no strangeness. After dating for a long time, I feel more like a confidant. When we get along with each other, we find that our outlook on life, our worldview, and our attitude towards life are very similar. ”
After a pause, Chen Zihan said again: "Actually, before Lu Dongjun and Lou Wenlin came to me that day, I didn't know Ruorong's family situation. Neither of us thought to inquire about our respective family situations, because our relationship was not so realistic now. ”
Chen Zihan said so much in one breath, Li Jing, who originally wanted to ask a few more questions, suddenly didn't know how to ask.
Chen Zihan's answer made Lu Ruorong breathe a sigh of relief.
She immediately said to Li Jing: "Mom, don't have the same attitude when you work, Chen Zihan is a classmate of our Zhijiang University, not your subordinate." ”
Li Jing glanced at Lu Ruorong and didn't say anything more.
She decided to chat with Chen Zihan alone for a while, with Lu Ruorong here, it was inconvenient for her to say some things.
At this time, the dishes came up, and Li Jing lightly beckoned Lu Ruorong and Chen Zihan to eat the vegetables first.
Chen Zihan didn't move his chopsticks immediately, but poured a cup of tea and saluted Lu Ruorong: "Rong'er, today is your twentieth birthday. It's a coincidence that on your twentieth birthday, the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar are on the same day. We southerners are different from you northerners, and what we value most is the virtual birthday of the tenth year. No matter what, I wish you a happy birthday in advance, and may you always be healthy and beautiful. ”
"Thank you!" Lu Ruorong replied embarrassedly: "I am indeed luckier than you, on your twentieth birthday, the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar are the same day, and when you are twenty years old, the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar are one day apart." Thank you for the gift and for having dinner with me tonight. ”
Seeing that when the two of them spoke, they looked affectionate, Li Jing frowned slightly, and coughed lightly.
"If you want to drink, drink some!" She offered to make a suggestion.
"Forget about the wine." Chen Zihan declined, "I drank very badly, I got drunk with one glass, and after I went to college, I made a few jokes because of drinking." If you drink alcohol and lose your posture in front of your aunt, you will be shameless in the future. ”
Li Jing nodded, and didn't mention the matter of drinking again.
During the meal, Li Jing asked about Chen Zihan's family situation very tactfully, and cleverly expressed the meaning that Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong were not in the right household.
Although Li Jing said it very implicitly, how could someone as smart as Lu Ruorong and Chen Zihan not hear it?
Lu Ruorong's face was a little not good-looking, but Chen Zihan didn't care much, he deliberately pretended not to hear what Li Jing meant, and talked about the last time he went to Jinling with Lu Ruorong.
He told Li Jing that some of his ancestors sacrificed their lives for the country when they resisted the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and they went to Jinling every year to pay tribute to their ancestors.
If his grandfather hadn't died, he would definitely have been promoted after the war, and maybe he would have become a general later.
It's a pity that he died in that battle, and his wife and children lost the opportunity to enjoy glory and squeeze into high society.
There is no world of difference between glory and ordinary, but the life and death of one or two people can be decided.
Li Jing listened to Chen Zihan's words and changed her face slightly.
She knew what Chen Zihan meant when he said this.
No one is born with glory, and a few decades ago may have been mud legs, but once developed, future generations will follow and enjoy happiness.
No one is born a nobleman, and no one dares to guarantee that the honor will last for generations, and ordinary people will always be ordinary.
Chen Zihan understood what she meant, and responded skillfully.
This surprised her, this little boy is really not simple!
She couldn't help but look at Chen Zihan twice.
During the meal, Ning Yuezhen made a phone call and asked Chen Zihan about the brand he was acting for, and asked him which brand of reagent or device he liked.
Chen Zihan originally wanted to get up and pick it up outside, but after seeing Lu Ruorong's eyes, he still picked it up in front of Li Jing.
After a few brief words, he hung up the phone on the grounds that he was busy.
After Chen Zihan hung up the phone, Lu Ruorong asked in a low voice if there was anything else to do at night.
"It's fine!" Chen Zihan shook his head.
Li Jing was puzzled after hearing this, and she asked Chen Zihan curiously if she was working part-time.
Chen Zihan did not deny it, saying that he wanted to achieve financial freedom in his freshman year, so he decided to do some part-time work in addition to his studies and accumulate some experience at the same time.
"Mom, when we were still using your money, Zihan was already ready to use the money he earned to buy a car." Lu Ruorong said with a little pride: "I really envy him, he is less than twenty years old, and he can spend time and money freely." ”
Li Jing was even more interested when she heard this, and immediately asked Chen Zihan what was going on.
Chen Zihan also talked about his cooperation with Ning Yuezhen and his shareholding in Zhongtian Company.
Chen Zihan's stake in Zhongtian Company, even Lu Ruorong didn't know.
At first glance, Lu Ruorong was a little surprised, and gave him a blank look.
I didn't even tell her.
"I borrowed this money, and I definitely don't have that much money myself." Chen Zihan was a little embarrassed, "But I'm optimistic about the future of Zhongtian Company, at least in about ten years, it can survive well." ”
"You studied clinical medicine in college, so isn't your ambition in medicine? Don't want to go to the hospital after graduation? Li Jing was a little surprised.
"If there is a better future, then I will definitely strive for more. A person may be able to do several successful things in his lifetime. Chen Zihan smiled: "Maybe I'm a stubborn person, if I want to do something, I must do it well, otherwise I'd rather not do it." I also believe I can do a lot of things. ”
Li Jing nodded lightly, and her eyes softened slightly when she looked at Chen Zihan.
It's just that Li Jing still underestimated Chen Zihan.
In the next period of time, Chen Zihan sang the protagonist quietly.
He was completely in charge of the conversation tonight, and he showed his talents and ambitions in a subtle way.
If Li Jing hadn't investigated Chen Zihan's details, she would really think that this was a son of a family who was hidden in the world.
After a few hours of contact with Chen Zihan, Li Jing finally became clearer.
That is, how could her daughter, whose eyes are above the top, fall in love with a boy who is quite ordinary in all aspects and is one year younger than her.
