How did Ning Weimin find a way to justify himself and deal with Huo Xin's parents? Let's leave him alone for the time being.
One of the more interesting things is that this guy's popularity is actually not as good as he thinks.
At least at the same time, the other girl's father was scolding him behind his back.
Who is it?
It is Lan Lan's father, Professor Lan, an expert on ancient architecture.
In the afternoon of this day, Professor Lan’s old friend and colleague Jiang Fengshan, the deputy secretary of the Ancient Construction Team, came to visit.
Their friendship is almost twenty years old.
Jiang Fengshan just received Jinhua ham from his relatives from Jinling yesterday.
Thinking that Professor Lan also likes to eat, I sent half of one as a New Year's gift before the New Year's Eve dinner.
By the way, I also want to see if Professor Lan has bought any new calligraphy and painting recently. This is their common preference.
After reading the calligraphy and painting, the two of them sat down to drink tea and chat about home affairs. It was inevitable that they also had to talk about the work plan of the ancient construction team.
Jiang Fengshan casually mentioned the restoration project of the North Divine Kitchen in Temple of Heaven Park.
Tell Professor Lan that the main building repair project has been completed.
However, according to Pierre-Carton's follow-up plans, in order to facilitate the operation needs of the catering industry, the indoor construction that started in the spring may not be completely restored as before.
Not only do we have to build a kitchen behind Beishen Kitchen, but we also have to make a hole in the original wall of Beishen Kitchen.
Moreover, the caissons of the main buildings had to be renovated to be magnificent according to the requirements of the employer.
In addition, the interior should have a brick floor, a carved blue gauze cabinet, and even a small stage.
As a result, his words immediately angered Professor Lan.
Professor Lan stubbornly believes that all the tiles, wood, oil and other work in ancient buildings must be done in a regular manner, and the materials and styles are different.
Beishen Kitchen has its own architectural regulations, which is a rare physical basis for studying ancient Chinese architecture, and the layout cannot be changed randomly.
If it becomes unrecognizable, whoever wants to conduct research will look there!
Especially if you use such an ancient building to open a catering business, it will be very smoky.
This is how capitalism wants to destroy our precious cultural relics and waste the hard work of the ancient construction team in vain!
Jiang Fengshan didn't expect Professor Lan to be so excited.
Only then did he remember that this project was originally his, but later he was replaced by someone else.
Naturally, I felt regretful and quickly freed him.
It is said that the capital is not doing good things in the first place. They spend money to repair ancient buildings and have to earn it back from other places.
Who makes our country's funds tight? At present, this method is already the best result.
Lan Lan happened to hear it at this time, came over, and also quoted the allusion of "Zigong redeems people" to express his support for Jiang Fengshan.
He also praised Ning Weimin's "Tan Palace" restaurant for its unique style, which has become the most famous gourmet museum in Beijing.
I hope my father will not look at this issue too harshly.
What a pity, good intentions lead to bad things.
In fact, it would have been fine if Lan Lan didn't interrupt, but this time, it actually stimulated Professor Lan's nerves.
On the one hand, Professor Lan felt that his daughter did not respect him and made him lose face in front of his old friends.
On the other hand, he thought about the past events between Lan Lan and Ning Weimin, and thought that Lan Lan and Ning Weimin had contact in private again.
He couldn't help but be filled with doubts and became furious.
So the scholar's loyalty and his father's tyranny combined to make him furious.
He reprimanded his daughter in public, saying that not everything can be secularized, and that once culture and art are tainted with money, they will smell like gold.
Could it be that before liberation, we still had few good things that were wasted by foreigners?
Now he does not allow this kind of thing to happen, and must find the relevant departments to stop it.
Not to mention that his daughter is not allowed to have any contact with some fake foreign devils who have connections with foreign countries and are willing to sell their ancestral heritage in exchange for fame and fortune.
Just like that, the Lan family became lively.
In front of Jiang Fengshan, the father and daughter quarreled as if their zodiac signs were incompatible.
In the end, thanks to Lan Lan's mother, the father and daughter were forced to separate.
Otherwise, Jiang Fengshan would not be able to sit down, let alone sit down, and he would be embarrassed to come back next time.
But even so, when dinner time came, the father and daughter were still angry with each other.
Lan Lan locked herself in the room and refused to come out, so the Lan family's reunion dinner was not on the table, and there was no good atmosphere at home.
So I waited until Lan Lan's brother Lan Zheng came back from outside.
Lan Lan's mother gave him a task, asking him to coax his sister and call people out for dinner.
So there was nothing to do, so Lan Zheng had no choice but to mount his horse hastily and reluctantly knocked on his sister's door.
Fortunately, if Lan Lan doesn't give him face, he still has to give "Jiyi Hao" sugar-fried chestnuts face.
Hearing that her brother had queued for half an hour to buy her favorite snacks, Lan Lan finally opened the door.
When Lan Zheng walked in with a brown paper bag in hand, he relied on the "magic weapon" in his hand to criticize bluntly.
"Why do you think you are becoming less and less sensible as you get older? Why do you interrupt when Dad is talking to Uncle Jiang? How rude. Besides, what day is it today? You have also worked hard to prepare a table of good food.
Mom, think about it? Can't you let mom save some time and have a good night?"
"snort!"
An angry Lan Lan expressed her anger with a nasal voice.
"Brother, you can't tell the difference. Do you blame me for what happened today? Dad went too far, okay?"
"He is too authoritarian and unreasonable now. He always looks at problems with prejudice. He increasingly does not understand the hearts of young people. I just told a few truths. He acted like a feudal parent.
shelf."
"Hey, by the way. You are also a member of the service bureau. Let me tell you, is the business model of the 'Tan Palace' restaurant an innovation? People use ancient buildings to open restaurants and invest in repairs. Isn't this a way to protect them?
An ancient building?”
"What's wrong if those old houses can be turned into museums and restaurants full of cultural atmosphere? It's better than those houses rotting away in vain. What did they do wrong? Why should dad oppose them? Is it possible?
Just rely on his seniority?"
Lan Zheng laughed immediately.
"You are a little girl. Before you went to college, you would make trouble unreasonably and use tears as a weapon if you couldn't say a few words. Now, you are educated, organized, and speak eloquently. But are you also relying on yourself?
You're still young, so you're selling your own business?"
Such teasing immediately made Lan Lan blush and retort unconvinced.
"I discuss matters based on the facts and reason! Comrade Lan Zheng, I solemnly tell you, don't bully people, and don't try to treat me like a child. Otherwise, I will ask you out. And your chestnuts."
Lan Lan did what she said and stuffed a bag of chestnuts back to her brother without any hesitation.
Lan Zheng saw that she was really anxious and didn't dare to tease her anymore.
"Okay, why don't I stop making fun of you? In fact, this is what happened today. In theory, I accept your point of view. The man named Ning you know is really quite capable. He runs the Zhai Palace
The exhibition hall, Tan Palace Restaurant, some sculpture art exhibitions, the New Year garden party and the book market every Sunday are all very good. If you don't pay attention, he will become the backbone of Pierre Cardon Company, even better than "The Wanderer"
The 'Raz' in the movie is much better. When I assigned him a job, looking at him wrapping peas, I never expected him to be where he is today. I thought he would only be able to do this at most in his life.
I'm trying to get along with the manager of a hotel."
Lan Lan likes to hear this. "Humph, this means that people should not be judged by their appearance. How could my friend be so bad?"
"But..."
Lan Zheng then made a 180-degree turn.
"Emotionally, I am particularly inclined to my father. I also hate this person named Ning very much. Who asked you to speak for him? Dad is so angry just because he is worried about you. You have to pay him early.
If you have a boyfriend, wouldn’t this be a problem?”
Lan Lan couldn't help being stunned, and then loudly expressed her dissatisfaction like an angry bun.
"Why? Why? Why did he provoke you? Is it because you underestimated him? Now that he is getting better and better, you feel that you are losing face?"
"You're only half right. We all do underestimate him. But we hate him, but it's not because of such trivial things as you said."
Lan Zheng first answered in the negative and then asked Lan Lan.
"You don't know that dad was originally in charge of Beishen Chef, but was later replaced by their restaurant, right?"
He paused and said again.
"And me. You probably don't know that the position of deputy director in our bureau that was likely to fall on me has also been vacated. The leader intends to promote Qiao Wanlin, who is assisting Ning in running the 'Tan Palace' restaurant. What do you think about us?
Why do you have a crush on him?"
Unexpectedly, Lan Lan was stunned for a moment, then said.
"Then... you can't rely on others. Who told dad to always go against others? If I were to provide funding, I would also worry about whether dad in charge of the project could meet my requirements. What you are doing is even more unreasonable. Others are working
Why can't you be promoted and have to be ranked behind you after you have made achievements? Who asked you not to help? If you rush to do the assisting work, then won't the credit be yours?"
Lan Zheng couldn't help but frown, and showed an extremely helpless smile.
"No wonder everyone says girls are extroverts. This year you have defended him everywhere, and I have learned the lesson. No matter what you do, with you, he is always right?"
But then, he changed into an extremely serious expression.
"But to be honest, Lan Lan, in fact, it is precisely because you think he is so good that dad and I are particularly worried about you."
"I admit that this person named Ning is indeed very good. He is capable at work and has a method for doing things. He is also thoughtful, considerate, eloquent, and very popular. The key is his height. He looks good, and he is quite tall and well-dressed. He has a smart suit and a pretty face with red lips and white teeth."
"I guess in your heart, he is better than Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and further than Mike Harris. But that girl doesn't like such a person? The more he is like this, the more dangerous he is to you, because his city is too deep. You can be moved by him, but it is impossible for him to be like this to you. I can even say that this man probably wants to make women robbed and disrupt the world. It is sheer bad luck for women to meet him."
Seeing that Lan Lan was about to protest emotionally again, Lan Zheng raised his hand to stop him without any explanation.
"Hey, hey, just listen to what I have to say first, okay?"
"Lan Lan, you are really too young and don't know enough about society. My brother can tell you responsibly that when you find someone, he can understand everything you say and the communication is smooth. It seems that you have found your life partner or soul. Confidant. But in fact, that is just your own illusion."
"Because in this kind of thing, there is only one reasonable possibility, which is that you meet someone with a relatively high EQ and IQ. You are just a piece of cake in front of others and can be completely controlled by them."
"To put it bluntly, this person named Ning is a person who is good at pleasing others. As long as he wants, he can achieve this kind of understanding with every girl who is similar to you. If he has other purposes for you and wants to use you , order you, control you. Think about it, isn’t this scary?
"If you don't get along with such a person, you will not have self-esteem and will only sacrifice yourself. No matter what happens, they will not suffer, but you will only be hurt. He will bring you great pain. Dad I was just afraid that something like this would happen, so in order to protect you from getting hurt, I kept you away from him."
I have to say that things are indeed different now that Lan Lan has gone to college.
Putting it aside, even if her relatives broke it into pieces and said it, she would only think it was nonsense.
But she is different now, she is not as willful as before.
And because I have read a lot of books, there are also many boys chasing me behind me.
Her understanding of emotions has also matured a lot, far from being pure and simple when she first met Ning Weimin.
So even though her heart was heavy at the moment, she was very reluctant to hear these words that were like needle pricks.
But she can still feel her brother's painstaking efforts and can look at the problem objectively and verify these truths.
After thinking about it carefully, she realized that among the people she had met over the years, there were indeed many very powerful people who had such abilities.
They can easily instruct others to act according to their wishes.
This may be an indispensable ability for people who want to be leaders.
"Brother, thank you. The words you said this year have made me understand a lot of truth. I am no longer angry with my father. But I still have to have reservations about my friend's character. Because even if he has such
In terms of ability, he is not the kind of person you think. You don’t know that I am grateful for his advice to me to this day. He has never asked me to do anything for him. He is not the kind of person who takes advantage of me. I believe
I can see clearly his character."
Lan Zheng's words to his sister were both gratifying and helpless.
But he knew that this was all he could do for the time being, so he stopped talking and just whispered to her in a low voice.
"Okay, as long as you can listen to a few words, these words will not be in vain. I also know that you have grown up. As long as you want to, you can think about problems calmly and objectively. If not, we are not in a hurry.
Take your time and look at him. In the end, time will prove who of us is right and who is wrong..."
However, Lan Lan greatly surprised Lan Zheng and actually smiled easily.
"Brother, don't worry. In fact, no matter whether we are right or wrong, you don't have to worry about it. Because we really haven't contacted each other anymore. I don't think we will have any intersection in the future. This can always make you and our dad feel at ease.
Alright?"
"real?"
Lan Zheng did feel relieved for a while, but just when he wanted to laugh, he suddenly realized it.
Tears had already appeared in the corners of my sister's eyes, and they were all glistening...
