Chapter 12: Milan Kundera
Zhuang Yan originally thought that this was a good opportunity for him to get to know Qin Mufei, Tang Ru and Zhou Zhiqiang deeply, but the plot did not follow the script he envisioned, and the content and rhythm of the conversation from entering the house to the dinner table were firmly controlled by the other party.
Whether it is Qin Mufei or Tang Ru, they have been solemnly asking this and that, and that feeling really has the posture of a prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law who is a hairy son-in-law.
In particular, Qin Mufei asked very carefully, what was Zhuang Yan's family like, some of Zhuang Yan's situation in college, and whether he encountered a lot of difficulties after going to work.
Don't say it's Xiang Zisu, at this moment, even the solemn himself has an illusion, is the person in front of him really only twenty-two or three years old? The tone of his speech and the style of his language are incompatible with his real age, and he is old-fashioned, if he hadn't seen his slightly immature face, he would have thought that he was Xiang Zisu's father Xiang Tian.
Because the solemnity can feel it, Qin Mufei asked himself so many questions because of his love for Xiang Zisu, why did he feel like this? Solemn's mind was in a mess, and he could feel it so Xiang Zisu naturally felt it, no wonder Xiang Zisu said that she also believed that the so-called reincarnation was really something.
"Xiaozhuang, what do your parents do?" Tang Ru asked.
"My father used to be a lawyer, but he left seven years ago, and my mother was an ordinary civil servant. β
When he mentioned his father, he felt a little uncomfortable in his solemn heart, so he naturally didn't say anything, but he didn't deliberately avoid it.
"Gone?" Tang Ru was stunned, but then she reacted: "I'm sorry Xiaozhuang, Auntie shouldn't ask." β
Solemn smiled: "It's nothing, so many years have passed." β
At this moment, Xiang Zisu has lost her brutal energy, but there is a feeling of being a little bird, which also makes Zhuang Yan a little incomprehensible, including Tang Ru and Xiang Zhiqiang's attitude towards her is not the same as what she heard before, why is this happening?
Solemnly glanced at Qin Mufei, who was immersed in eating, was it because of his appearance?
Qin Mufei seemed to feel the solemn gaze, raised his eyes to look over, put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin and wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Xiaozhuang, I don't talk much when I eat, this is a habit for decades, I can't change it, you are free, go to my study and sit down after eating in a while, let's have a good chat." β
Hearing Qin Mufei say this, Tang Ru and Xiang Zhiqiang glanced at each other, Xiang Zhiqiang cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "That...... Dad, didn't you go to the company in the afternoon? β
His "Dad" made both solemn and Xiang Zisu's eyes cast on him, his face was slightly red, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Zhuang Zhuang squinted slightly, in his opinion, this is another strange thing, Qin Mufei's appearance threatens Xiang Zhiqiang's status in the company, it is said that he should be the person who hates Qin Mufei the most, but he looks like this in front of Qin Mufei, this Qin Mufei really has some ability, although Xiang Zhiqiang's "Dad" is a little reluctant, but being able to force Xiang Zhiqiang to bow his head is not something that ordinary people can do.
Which of these rich sons is not above the top, not to mention that Xiang Zhiqiang has also been the chairman of Tianfu Group for three years, and he has a domineering spirit.
Qin Mufei snorted lightly "um": "I won't go this afternoon, after you go, urge Lao Luo, let him quickly send me the prepared plan to take a look, this matter can't be delayed, the company's stock price has been a little turbulent in the past two days, and we must eliminate the adverse effects as soon as possible." β
Xiang Zhiqiang secretly slandered himself, wasn't the turmoil in the company's stock price caused by Qin Mufei's "reincarnation"? It's good to put the blame on yourself now. But he didn't say anything, and nodded: "Okay, I'll urge Lao Luo." β
Then he glanced solemnly at it again, and there was a bit of strangeness in his eyes.
Zhuang Zhuang didn't notice Xiang Zhiqiang's eyes, he was secretly happy, he didn't expect Qin Mufei to stay here to chat, and listening to his tone was to talk to himself alone.
Tang Ru ate quietly, as if what Qin Mufei said or did had nothing to do with him.
After eating, the solemn was taken by Qin Mufei to the study on the second floor, the study is very exquisite, Chinese design, antique, one wall is hung with a landscape painting of Mr. Chishi, and on the other wall there is a pair of vigorous and powerful brush words: Hug Pu Shoujing.
Xiang Zisu wanted to follow, but Tang Ru stopped her, Tang Ru said that he hadn't had a good chat with her for a long time, and took advantage of this time for the mother and daughter to make friends. Since Tang Ru said so, what else could Xiang Zisu say, so he had to stay in the living room.
"Xiaozhuang, sit down." Qin Mufei pointed to the seat in front of him.
He sat down solemnly and looked at the bookcase on the left wall.
"I didn't expect you to have so many books here." Solemn exclaimed.
Qin Mufei waved his hand nonchalantly: "What is this, there were more in the past, but many books don't have time to read, and after a long time, they will become decorations in the bookcase, filling the faΓ§ade." β
solemnly sighed: "Now that people in this society are impetuous, how many people can really calm down and read a book?" β
Mother Wu brought two cups of tea, stood up solemnly and walked to the bookcase, looking at the books in the bookcase with great interest. He found that it was not like Qin Mufei said, many books had not been read, on the contrary, most of the books in the bookcase should have been read.
"Huh!" Solemn was secretly surprised in his heart, and his gaze fell on the innermost book on the second floor of the shelf.
Although he was a little surprised, he walked over quietly.
His mood was a little nervous, so that his hand that was about to take the book trembled a little, but fortunately, he had his back to Qin Mufei, and Qin Mufei shouldn't be able to see his abnormality.
This is Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", but it is in Japanese, which makes this book particularly conspicuous in this bookcase, because the entire bookcase is all in Chinese except for a few English books, and this "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" is a bit eye-catching.
Taking the book out of the bookcase, he opened it solemnly and carefully, and he saw the pattern on the title page! A pattern drawn with a red pen.
At this moment, Qin Mufei also came over, he didn't expect that Zhuang Yan would like to read.
"You can still read Japanese?" Qin Mufei still had a smile on his face.
Instead of answering his question, Solemn asked rhetorically, "Is this book yours?" β
Qin Mufei pursed his lips: "I can't remember who sent it, but I don't know Japanese." β
"Can you give it to me?" Solemnly blurted out, and suddenly he felt that his question was a little abrupt, and smiled awkwardly: "I like Milan Kundera very much." β
Qin Mufei looked a little hesitant, but quickly made a decision: "Since you like it so much, take it, it's useless for me to keep it anyway." β
Zhuang Zhuang was overjoyed, thanked him, and then pointed to the pattern and asked, "You painted this?" β
Qin Mufei shrugged his shoulders: "It's already there, I'm not so bored, and I don't like scribbling on books, this habit is not good." β
He patted his majesty as he spoke, "Sit down and talk." β
Zhuang Zheng sat down on the sofa, and he put the book in his hand, as if he was afraid that he would forget to take it when he left.
Qin Mufei saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that you really like this book." β
Yan Yan touched his nose embarrassedly: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to read." β
"If you like to read books, the ancients often said that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, and Confucius also said that everything is inferior, only reading is high!" Qin Mufei is like the posture of the elders admonishing the younger generations, this should have made the solemn feel funny, but it is very logical and natural.
