Chapter Twenty: Meeting Chen Xuwu for the First Time 1
"Your Auntie Niu is gone?" Zhang Qian got out of the closet and glanced at Chen Zitong. She was undoubtedly more graceful in a white tube top evening dress, with her loose hair scattered on her shoulders.
Her pretty face is indeed as beautiful as an angel. If all the teachers and students in the school saw this look, I wonder how many boys would have insomnia at night and their hearts would be broken.
"If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Seeing Zhang Qian staring at her non-stop, Chen Zitong became angry for no reason. It seemed that this little girl was still upset about having her body exposed just now.
"Okay, don't watch it if you don't want to. Let's go, classmate Chen. Let's go to the living room to pick up my father first, and then take us to your father." Zhang Qian didn't have time to continue arguing with her, so he headed towards the door first.
Go.
"Hey, you have to help me at least. If no one is holding me, I will easily step on my tail and fall!" Chen Zitong couldn't help but said anxiously when he saw Zhang Qian trying to leave so arrogantly.
Zhang Qian came back helplessly, picked up the back half of Chen Zitong's evening dress and said, "You women are troublesome. Why do you have to dress up so hard? You're at a party, and you have nothing to do."
"Why don't you have anything to do with me? You forgot that today is my birthday! I am the protagonist of this party, do you think I have anything to do?" Chen Zitong turned around and replied to Zhang Qian confidently.
"Oh, I forgot. Today seems to be your birthday." Zhang Qian really forgot. Now that I think about it, it's a coincidence that Chen Xuwu's daughter is Chen Zitong, and Chen Zitong is actually his deskmate, and he is still hers today.
Birthdays, everything is thrown together.
"What? Forgot? Hey, what's your memory? Yesterday morning you were trying to force me to give you a gift, and now you've forgotten it again. Did you do it on purpose?" Chen Zitong said angrily, "It's a shame that I still praised your gift.
Okay, what!"
Zhang Qian shut up for a while. The birthday gift was not from him at all. It was strange that he could remember Chen Zitong's birthday. But in order not to be outed, he had to be taken advantage of again.
Holding Chen Zitong's tail, he accompanied her down the stairs and soon entered the living room. In the living room, his father Zhang Hailong was still sitting there coughing. When he saw Zhang Qian appeared, he just wanted to speak out, but his eyes were different.
It was fixed on Chen Zitong’s beautiful face and could no longer be moved away.
"Hello, Uncle Zhang..." Chen Zitong is a lady after all, and when she sees a stranger, her mouth is as sweet as honey. Zhang Qian quite appreciates this.
A woman who understands etiquette and sense of propriety is naturally lovable. Zhang Hailong smiled quickly and nodded, "Hello, hello, such a beautiful girl is really rare, may I ask who you are..."
"My name is Chen Zitong, and I am the daughter of Chen Xuwu. Are you Zhang Qian's father? Zhang Qian told me that you and my dad are old acquaintances, so let me take you to meet my father." Chen Zitong finished with a smile,
He glanced at Zhang Qian to indicate whether this was the case.
Zhang Qian nodded repeatedly to express his satisfaction, but Zhang Hailong next to him was obviously stunned and said in surprise, "What did you say? Are you Chen Xuwu's daughter? You... you know my son... you know my son?"
"Yes, your son and I are classmates and deskmates." When Chen Zitong said this, he rolled his eyes at Zhang Qian and said, "Although Zhang Qian always goes against me sometimes, I usually don't get along.
He is generally knowledgeable."
Zhang Qian rolled his eyes and didn't know who he was. He didn't know who slapped him again and again.
"So that's it... brat, why didn't you tell me about this?" Zhang Hailong said in surprise and joy, "If I had known this, why would I have come here today? Why don't you just make an appointment with Zitong to meet you?
That’s all.”
"Dad, if I knew that Chen Zitong was Chen Xuwu's daughter, would I not tell you? She never mentioned this to me at all." Zhang Qian said with a look of helplessness, "Don't talk about these things now.
, let’s let Chen Zitong take us to find her father.”
"Oh, okay, let's go now." Zhang Hailong smiled and nodded, his eyes looking at Chen Zitong, obviously getting happier and happier. Of course Zhang Qian knew what his father was planning, and he was not just looking at his wife.
Looking at Chen Zitong with his eyes? But he doesn't think his father's idea will succeed at all. Maybe it's okay to borrow money, and it may be okay to let him get into a high school through connections, but letting Chen Zitong become his fiancée is simply a fantasy.
Tan. It is impossible and unwilling for the Chen family to agree.
Although he had been prepared for this, Zhang Qian still felt uncomfortable when he thought about it. Although he had no real love for Chen Zitong, anyone would feel aggrieved to be denied his qualifications due to the disparity in his family background.
.
Unfortunately, reality is reality. No matter how aggrieved Zhang Qian is, he can only grit his teeth and face it. Under the leadership of Chen Zitong, Zhang Qian and Zhang Hailong quickly walked out of the living room, out of the high-end luxury townhouse, and entered the courtyard.
Different from the kind of yard in the countryside, the yard of this luxurious townhouse has obviously been carefully repaired, whether it is the blooming flower beds, the surrounding precious green plants, and the soft and comfortable artificial turf, from every angle
, such a courtyard can be described as high-end and classy.
The lights were on at this time, and there were many people standing on the lawn area in the yard talking to each other with red wine glasses. At the edge of the lawn, a long row of tables were filled with various food and drinks, like this
Zhang Qian had only seen the luxurious scene in TV dramas. He knew that what was being held here was a standard luxurious Western buffet reception.
All the people attending the cocktail party did not have a fixed location or a fixed dining table. If they wanted to eat or drink, they had to take it from the long dining table. This undoubtedly made it difficult to find Chen Xuwu. However, Chen Zitong was obviously used to this kind of cocktail party.
Not surprising, she slipped into the crowd with ease and found her father's location with little effort.
"Look, my parents are there." Chen Zitong pointed towards the fountain not far ahead, turned to Zhang Qian and Zhang Hailong and smiled, "Let's go there."
Zhang Qian looked in the direction pointed by Chen Zitong, and sure enough he saw Chen Xuwu and the luxurious woman wearing a purple dress chatting happily with a middle-aged couple. Zhang Qian didn't know the middle-aged women, but he knew them.
The young fat man who was holding the wine glass respectfully behind his back and not daring to make any mistakes. Isn't this guy the dead fat Ji Shengchong who wanted to cheat on his sister Zhang Lin that day, but he stopped her and gave her a fight?
Ji Shengchong obviously saw Zhang Qian, and a cold look suddenly flashed in his eyes. If he saw it correctly, the fat middle-aged man should be his father. With his father here, I'm afraid I can lend him some courage.
In this situation, it is impossible for him to dare to directly ask Zhang Qian for any trouble.
Holding a red wine glass and wearing a crisp suit, Chen Xuwu looked the same as the one on TV, but his Chinese-character face looked calmer and more official-like. Faintly, he naturally felt a sense of fear.
, I’m afraid it’s not just him, but also his father Zhang Hailong.
This person has a certain aura wherever he stands. He might have been on equal footing back then, but now there is a huge difference. It is normal to have fear. The director of the Construction Bureau is also at the level of a professional in any way.
As an official, with hundreds of thousands of subordinates, it is unjustifiable to lack official authority.
"Dad!" Before Zhang Hailong could speak, Chen Zitong called out, interrupting Chen Xuwu who was talking. Chen Xuwu turned his head and looked towards Chen Zitong, and couldn't help but reveal a doting smile and said, "Zitong, can you come down here?
I'm about to introduce you to your uncles. Come over here and meet your..."
Before Chen Xuwu finished speaking, when his peripheral vision fell on Zhang Hailong next to Chen Zitong, his whole person was stunned for an instant. His eyes were full of shock and surprise, which made him completely stunned.
The sound of words also stopped abruptly.
"Hai...Hailong??" Chen Xuwu's mouth came out with a tentative inquiry. Obviously, he seemed a little unsure whether the person in front of him was the one.
"Haha, after all these years, Xu Wu, it seems you haven't forgotten me yet." Zhang Hailong was slightly excited. Chen Xuwu could call out his name at the first sight, which proved that Chen Xuwu had not forgotten his feelings for him.
In mind!
"Haha, Hailong, it's really you!!" Chen Xuwu laughed heartily when he heard Zhang Hailong speak. He quickly walked up to Zhang Hailong, shook hands with him tightly and said excitedly, "Oh, Hailong,
I really didn’t expect that you would come to my house today! You, how did you find me? As soon as I came to Andu County, I wanted to find you, but your original address has been changed. I asked several supply and marketing cooperatives to find you.
My colleagues have inquired, but there is no news about you, OK, OK! I can meet you, but the worried stone has finally fallen from my heart!"
Chen Xuwu's words were full of emotion and did not seem to be a lie. Zhang Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least from this point of view, Chen Xuwu was not an ungrateful guy. He was willing to admit his father and said that he had gone to find his father.
This obviously respects the friendship with his father.
"Xu Wu, I'm ashamed. After I left the supply and marketing cooperative, I worked as a decoration worker on a construction site. Later, I was assigned a suite in my wife's factory and moved. It's normal that you can't find me. It's okay. I haven't been there since recently.
I saw you on TV and asked someone to find out your address. I will bring my son over here to meet you." Zhang Hailong's face became much more relaxed at this time. At least Chen Xuwu was willing to recognize him as his old friend who had fallen into decline.
"Then it's no wonder I can't find you. It's okay. As long as we meet now, we can keep in touch in the future." Chen Xuwu nodded, then glanced at Zhang Qian next to him, and then he seemed to remember something.
, the smile seemed a little unnatural and he said, "Is this your son? Yes, he has grown so big. When I saw him before, he was only more than one year old. Time flies really fast."
"Yes, time is not forgiving. In the blink of an eye, we are all old, and our sons and daughters have grown up." Zhang Hailong sighed and smiled, "But we are really destined. I never thought that my son and your daughter would actually meet each other.
We are classmates and deskmates, haha, do you think this is the will of God?"
"What? Classmate? Deskmate?" Chen Xuwu was so surprised now that he turned to look at his daughter Chen Zitong. Chen Zitong shrugged helplessly, acquiescing to this fact. Now, Chen Xuwu's face seemed to become stiffer.
