(The storyline is completely fictional, the official must not sit in the right seat, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence)

Associate Professor Zhang Shubei, a stubborn new tenant, in order to get back the difference earned by Mr. Chen as a second landlord, reduce the cost of rent, and have more pounds to spend at will, united the real landlord Oz to fight a lawsuit with Mr. Chen. The four of them also wasted a lot of time, so everyone avoided Zhang Shubei.

Zhang Shubei didn't feel that others were avoiding him at all, and always thought that his image was very tall, with a bit of "Chinese spiritual leader at No. 28 Highry Road". On this day, after receiving a call from Oz, Mr. Zhang enthusiastically organized everyone to hold an "emergency meeting" in the restaurant.

As soon as the meeting was open, Oz's "Dr. Shubei Zhang" became excited, saying that "fucking Chen Shengshi is completely a capitalist, and he is a second landlord to add a link to exploit his compatriots......", "It is extremely shameless, it is a ...... for imperialism to play for the tiger", and Zhang Shubei himself is, of course, "upholding justice" and "safeguarding individual rights and interests in a country ruled by law", he said loudly: "Don't be afraid, big guys, Our backs are so hard!. ”

Listen to him say, "Our backs are so hard!" Everyone else didn't look up, and everyone wasn't afraid of anything, but at this time, it seemed that whoever looked up at him automatically became a member of "us". This is what everyone is afraid of.

Mrs. Li Tianying, a postdoctoral fellow who didn't know about the lawsuit, happened to be back to Oxford at this time, and she came back to discuss a patent cooperation between a domestic company and her former college.

Mrs. Chen was such a smart person, seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, she went back to her room without saying a word. Immediately afterwards, I asked Mr. Bai and Mr. He in detail, and then I learned that everyone had not signed to participate, and finally Zhang Shubei had to join forces with Oz to sue Mr. Chen. She bit her lips: "Shengshi, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Tell me, why is it like this! ”

Mrs. Chen immediately took action, found a Chinese lawyer couple she was familiar with, and when Mr. Chen returned, she discussed it carefully, and quickly cut through the mess to help Mr. Chen turn things around. To be exact, it was the landlord Oz who immediately withdrew the lawsuit after receiving a call from his lawyer.

A while ago, Oz came to visit almost once or twice a day to discuss things with Zhang Shubei. Every time Oz comes, for some reason, he always brings his friends, and his friends have changed several different people, and there are three people who have met Jinghao, and these people seem to be the same as Oz, they are all taxi drivers, and their voices are not small, so the house is full of people coming and going, noisy.

Mrs. Chen calmed down the matter and found that a valuable ruby engagement ring that Mr. Chen had bought for her a year ago could not be found, and she felt that she had lost it during the period of the lawsuit, and regretted that she had forgotten to take it with her when she returned to China.

In fact, Mr. Chen is not sure whether it was taken away by someone or he forgot where he left it, in short, it is gone, and he has not found it after looking through the boxes and cabinets for several days. Mrs. Chen was very distressed, because it was not a casually bought ring, but a mended engagement ring, which had a special meaning......

Mr. Chen was puzzled, how did he lose it? If it is placed in your own room and no outsiders have entered it, then could it be that when you moved here before, some things were temporarily placed in the living room and you forgot about it? But I searched all over the living room and didn't see the little box. He always hoped that he hadn't really lost it, but he couldn't find it for the time being.

Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen in the restaurant: "If you don't agree to let you go back to China, if you return to China early, there won't be these messy things, you see, even when we got engaged, we couldn't afford it, and the engagement ring we bought was lost!" ”

Mr. Chen's attitude is still the same: "I won't go back first, and then I'll wait for a while." I'll look for the ring again. ”

Mrs. Chen was a little impatient and whispered a few words.

Jing happened to be going to the restaurant to drink water, and heard the two of them shouting inside outside the restaurant door, she waited, but the two were still arguing, so she continued to wait, embarrassed to push the door in.

I only heard Mrs. Chen say: "Let me tell you Chen Shengshi, I am not only distressed when I lose my ring, like us, I always get together less and leave more, it is not good for both of us, it is easy to break up if we are not married like Jinghao, and if we are married like this, it will also affect the relationship, you look at my classmates, who have lived in two countries for a long time, who have broken up, divorced, and finished their relationship, they are simply everywhere!" ”

Mr. Chen was not convinced: "There are good people who are good!" I haven't heard anyone Jing Hao say that she wants to break up with her boyfriend, I also saw a video of Jing Hao and him, just sitting in the restaurant where you are now, the two of you are good, how can you worry about salty radishes? ”

Mrs. Chen was unhappy and said, "Chen Shengshi, don't admit it, the distance is too far, it will always affect communication and exchanges, and it will inevitably affect feelings." ”

Mr. Chen said, "What about you, take care of your own business, don't worry about it!" You feel sorry for that ring, but you never wear it, otherwise you would have worn it on your hand when you returned to China, wouldn't you have nothing to do now? Now, let's just assume that it hasn't been lost, it must have been placed somewhere, maybe one day it will pop up on its own......"

Mrs. Chen was even more unhappy: "You are a person! Talking nonsense and deceiving yourself! If you lose a ring, you lose it, how can it still come out on its own? Long-term separation is not good, you have to say that there is no impact! Your attitude towards life is wrong! Not positive! ”

Mr. Chen said: "People are quiet and her domestic boyfriend is already good!" Aren't we okay too? ”

Mrs. Chen said, "Shall we do this?" Then he turned his head and ignored Mr. Chen.

But suddenly, Mrs. Chen seemed to remember something, and asked in a somewhat hard tone: "Hey, by the way, did Jing Hao have a British boyfriend again?" ”

Mr. Chen flatly denied it, saying, "Temporary boyfriend? Hehe, if you think about it, you definitely don't, be honest and honest, go home after class, and never run out......"

Mrs. Chen said: "Look at what you said, it's not honest to have a British boyfriend?" I just feel like I'm mingling with the locals......"

Mr. Chen laughed a few times and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean that Jinghao and her boyfriend are very stable, and her boyfriend is still waiting for her to go back...... Li Tianying, you, don't always think that only you are mature, only you are rational, and the world counts you as smart......"

Li Tianying said: "Hey, Chen Shengshi, why do you talk like this, I said something quiet, and it was completely kind......

Mr. Chen: "Hey, hey, hey, hey" was happy.

Jing Hao heard their conversation outside the restaurant door, and was a little dazed and embarrassed for a while, so she was embarrassed to go in and drink water, turned around with an empty cup and tiptoed back to the upstairs room with her hands and leaning on the staircase railing.

Walking slowly on the stairs, I heard Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen still talking in the dining room—

Mr. Chen: "She doesn't like those British people either, you think they get along well?" They are very proud, and I think they don't look down on people from other countries, including people from other European countries, and Americans. On the surface, they are civilized, democratic, and refined, but I always feel that some Britons are deep-rooted, with a kind of pride and stubbornness, and they are not willing to face their current decline. ”

Mrs. Chan said, "Anyway, they have their own pride, but it's not as serious as you say." Mainly, Jing Hao has asked me several times recently about what I know about British men. Before I came back, she had talked to me about this topic on WeChat, so I felt like something was wrong. ”

Mr. Chan said, "Really? If you want me to say, she won't, and the British are not all good people, but almost all of them are not so easy to get along with, why bother with them, especially at the beginning, it was really 'hot face on cool belly'......"

Mrs. Chen said: "Chen Shengshi, you are really powerful, people call it slow-burning type!" In your mouth, it was connected to the buttocks again......"

Mr. Chen said, "Slow heat? They're not hot! In the words of your intellectuals, it's 'withdrawn and cold'! Isn't there a saying among the English, 'Not even the queen can go in or out of my castle except the wind?'" 'The home has become a castle, so there must still be a watchtower, right?' There must be several layers of doors, right? You say this kind of person can be a good deal? ”

Mrs. Chen said: "There is nothing wrong with people valuing private space, but it is indeed too different from our ......Chinese, we are a little too willing to get involved in other people's affairs, we feel lively, enthusiastic, and close, but in fact, sometimes it is not good."

Hearing this, he quietly lifted his heels, quietly went upstairs, went back to his room, and came out to wash lightly.

She had heard Li Ruoshi and Zhang Yiyun say before, "Except for the wind, even the queen can't enter and leave my castle casually." This sentence. And the British do not easily bring friends or colleagues home, and some colleagues and ordinary friends who have known each other for many years do not know where each other live, and she has heard of it a long time ago......

But how did he walk into Harry's "castle" so easily? Jing Hao lay down on his log-colored single oak bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and the conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Chen just now kept ringing in her ears.
