Zhou Nan drove on the highway. His driving skills were very skillful. Although the car was not very good, it was still very fast.
Listening to Xie Bing, who was sitting in the back, talking quietly on the phone with someone at home, Zhou Nan showed a strange smile. This woman is really interesting. It seems that she is not only cold towards outsiders, but also towards herself.
The family members also spoke with a vague sense of indifference.
Of course, she might not be able to feel it herself. And this is probably due to nature.
However, Xie Bing's coldness is not the pure iceberg-like coldness, but more like some external attitude caused by pride and a high-spirited temperament. Maybe it is because of the background of the children of high-ranking military officials? Zhou Nan
I thought to myself, I am just the daughter of a teacher, is this really cool? Not necessarily.
"Thank you, I'll give you the phone back." Xie Bing finished the call and silently handed the phone over.
Not long after Zhou Nan took it, the phone ringing suddenly occurred to him.
Zhou Nan saw that it was Zhang Ying's call, but he had to answer the call this time. Because he knew in his heart that at this time, Zhang Yingming knew that he was driving on the highway and called him. It was obviously something important.
"Nan, is it convenient for you to speak?" Zhang Ying's voice on the other end of the phone was a little urgent.
"Tell me, Yingzi, it's okay, I'll drive the car slower." Zhou Nan smiled, "Is there something wrong with the registration procedure?"
"Yes, the Industry and Commerce Bureau verified that our registered capital was less than 30 million, and said that we did not meet the basic conditions for registering a group company. I talked with one of their deputy directors for a long time, and they refused to let go... Look.
, what should we do about this matter?" Zhang Ying sighed, "It seems that you have to take action, I can't handle this matter! I never thought that this procedure would be so complicated!"
"Are they trying to get in trouble with us...or should we send gifts to find some connections?" Zhang Ying hesitated for a moment and then asked.
Zhou Nan pondered, his mind active.
It is still the beginning of 1997. At this time, the state is not particularly strict with the conditions for the registration of group companies. If it delays for more than half a year, in the first half of 1998, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce will issue the "Interim Regulations on the Registration Management of Enterprise Groups"
》, which requires the parent company of an enterprise group to have a registered capital of more than 50 million yuan and have at least 5 subsidiaries. Moreover, the requirements for the establishment of joint-stock companies have also been standardized and improved.
But now, it's not that strict.
In a sense, because the domestic market economy is still in the "primary stage", many procedures are not so standardized. Therefore, Zhou Nan is planning to make a time lag and register the group company earlier to avoid trouble in the future.
.
"Yingzi, hasn't Haidu City relaxed the conditions in this area now to encourage investment? Moreover, the province also has relevant regulations. I remember such a regulation: "Binhai Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce Announces Ten Enterprise Access Reforms"
Measures" to encourage the establishment of investment companies. The minimum registered capital can be relaxed to 10 million yuan as appropriate. New companies with a total registered capital of more than 10 million yuan for the parent and subsidiary companies are allowed to use the group name first, and then a group registration certificate will be issued after the conditions are met."
Zhou Nan frowned, "Go and find someone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and look for these two documents..."
Zhang Ying smiled bitterly, "Who should I go to? Each of these people is better than the other, and they can't even speak to each other... I think we should spend some money to smoothen the relationship... In fact, I heard that several companies in the city do the same
It’s an empty shelf, it’s a group company, but in fact it doesn’t have any assets underneath, so it’s not as good as us!”
"There's no need to forget it for now. I'll think of a way to deal with the registered capital later. Please give me a rough number. How much more is needed to meet their requirements?" Zhou Nan said in a deep voice.
"The total of our various equipment, factories, market resources and real estate is barely 10 million. To be honest, it is very barely. Even so, we are still short of 20 million..." Zhang Ying sighed, "Nan, otherwise
Let’s slow down this matter for a while. In fact, I think it won’t be of much use if the group is not a group. At most, in another year, we will completely exceed their standards, and it will be too late to register again by then!”
"No, it won't work. Yingzi, the country will tighten its grip next year. Moreover, in the next step, we must continue to cooperate with tobacco companies and continuously establish new companies to expand business. We must rely on a large enterprise group to maintain each company.
The coordinated operation between..."
"Well, Yingzi, I'll think of a way. Find someone else to advance the capital or find a bank loan. If that doesn't work, we won't register a 'Group Co., Ltd.', we will first register a loose Feiteng Group legal entity as the parent company...
…Okay, you don’t have to worry about this for now, I’ll find a way to solve it.”
After Zhou Nan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Xie Bing, who was sitting in the back seat, seemed indifferent, but in fact she was also listening carefully to Zhou Nan's call. After listening for a long time, she couldn't help but feel curious. Of course, the space in the car was so big, she couldn't listen or not.
.
The introducer only told Xie Bing that Zhou Nan's father was the director of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau and the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. He was also a top student at the Guanghua School of Management at Beijing University and worked as a junior middle-level employee at the Haidu City Petroleum and Gas Corporation.
Didn't go into depth.
In fact, the introducer didn't know anything about it either. Although Lin Xia vaguely knew about the several companies under Zhou Nan's name, she didn't take it too seriously. She thought it was just Zhou Nan's petty trouble, so she didn't take it seriously.
Tell the introducer. In Lin Xia's opinion, Zhou Nan's real attraction lies in his identity as a famous college student and the son of a cadre, and everything else is just a foil.
But listen to Zhou Nan's words, he talks about an enterprise group, marketing business, etc., and his tone is very loud. Obviously, he is not as simple as a middle-level cadre of a state-owned enterprise. He is just curious, but Xie Bing will not ask at all.
Whether Zhou Nan is a dragon or an insect, it has nothing to do with her. She has no intention of dating Zhou Nan at all. It's just that she has a good personal relationship with Section Chief Meng and is embarrassed not to give Lin Xia face.
After thinking about it, Zhou Nan dialed Zhang Dongsheng's number, chatted with Zhang Dongsheng for a few words on the phone, and then went straight to the topic. Zhang Dongsheng heard that Zhou Nan wanted him to help advance the registration, and he hesitated a little. But in the end, he still looked at it.
In terms of long-term relationship, I nodded and agreed to help solve the problem of 5 million.
After that, Zhou Nan called Red Sun's boss Zhu Jianyong again. Zhu Jianyong readily agreed and promised to help solve the problem for 5 million.
It's just an advance payment, and you can withdraw it immediately after successful registration. You won't lose a few days of interest, so it's not a big deal. Whether it's Zhu Jianyong or Zhang Dongsheng, they can't ruin their hard work just because of this.
The friendly and harmonious relationship established by Zhou Nan.
I made two phone calls and settled for 10 million, but there was still a shortfall of 10 million.
Zhou Nan pondered for a while and decided to ask Huang Qiuling for another loan immediately after returning to Haidu. Of course, the amount of 10 million is a bit large, and Huang Qiuling may not be able to solve it, but whatever can be solved, as long as he can collect 2,000
With a registered capital of more than 10,000 yuan, Zhou Nan felt that if he could find some connections to accommodate him, he should be able to get things done.
…
The car was speeding on the highway, and the two of them chatted a few words in the car. Although they didn't talk much, they finally became more familiar with each other than at the beginning.
Two hours later, the Ninghai Expressway came to the end and the provincial capital Ningyu City arrived. Zhou Nan turned off the expressway and prepared to park at the Ningyu Service Area. Because he had agreed with Xie Bing, he would take her to the Ningyu Service Area.
Then her family would send a car to pick her up into the city.
At this time, there were few cars in the parking lot of Ning Yu's service area. Zhou Nan soon discovered a grass-green military jeep, a model commonly known as "213".
Zhou Nan smiled, turned around and said loudly to Xie Bing, "Xie Bing, the car in front is probably here to pick you up. I drove the car over..."
Just as Zhou Nan was about to turn the steering wheel, Xie Bing suddenly stood up with a frown and grabbed his arm from behind, saying in a low voice and hastily, "Don't go there yet!"
Zhou Nan was startled, but he didn't say anything. He stopped on the spot and stared at the military jeep in silence.
He knew that Xie Bing would definitely have something to say, so instead of asking, it was better to wait quietly.
Not long after, a young officer wearing military camouflage uniform and captain's epaulettes jumped out of the jeep, leaned lazily on the car, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then stared at the highway from the sea.
The direction they all came from.
Zhou Nan looked at this person, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xie Bing in the back seat was frowning, his expression suddenly became very cold, and he tightly grasped the handle of the back seat with both hands. Just look at Xie Bing's expression
, Zhou Nan guessed it in his heart.
Basically, we can be sure of two things: first, the visitor is not a member of Xie Bing's family; second, the visitor is not that popular with Xie Bing, and can even be said to be very annoying to her, otherwise she would not be like this.
After a long silence, Xie Bing hesitated, then suddenly turned red and whispered, "Zhou Nan, I want to ask you something. Can you do me a favor?"
Zhou Nan's heart moved, but he smiled slightly and said, "Just tell me, I will try my best to help as long as I can."
"I want you to do me a favor and pretend to be my...my boyfriend." Xie Bing gritted his teeth and said these words, and two red clouds flew up involuntarily on his beautiful and cold face.
Seeing that Zhou Nan was obviously stunned, she hurriedly said, "I won't let your help go in vain. If you help me... I just heard that you want to register a group company because the registered capital is not enough and you need to find someone to advance the capital.
Right? I can help you find an advance of 10 million... Of course, if you don't want to, forget it."
Xie Bing made a show of getting off the car.
Zhou Nan gave a bitter smile, "Xie Bing, this...well, it's not that I won't help you, but this...isn't it a little inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate, I'm just pretending... It's over, what should we do?" Xie Bing's voice became cold again. She actually wanted to say, "It's over, we go our separate ways and no one knows anyone."
Who?” After another thought, I felt that these words were a bit hurtful, so I changed my words.
…
Zhou Nan slowly drove the car over. The gorgeous sunshine somewhat dissipated some of the severe cold brought by the biting northwest wind. Zhou Nan slowly got out of the car, and Xie Bing also got out of the car. After a slight hesitation, he stepped forward.
He took Zhou Nan's arm.
The arm was close to Xie Bing's slender and straight body, and a faint feminine fragrance passed into his nostrils. Zhou Nan subconsciously looked at the beauty beside him, and there was a thick blush on that extremely beautiful face.
Zhou Nan could clearly feel her nervousness and shyness.
Feeling that Zhou Nan was looking at him, Xie Bing took a short breath and slowly stopped, turning his head and giving him a fierce look. What he meant was nothing more than "It's just pretending, don't get too involved."
Zhou Nan smiled and half-seriously took Xie Bing's arm and continued to move forward. Their backs grew longer and shorter in the sunshine, overlapping each other extremely intimately.
When the young captain officer saw Xie Bing getting out of a black car, his eyes lit up, and his face was immediately filled with a smile. He was about to raise his hand to greet her, but unexpectedly, he immediately saw Xie Bing holding her arm affectionately.
He held the arm of a tall young man and walked towards him while chatting and laughing with him.
Xie Bing's "glaring" and halting steps on the road were also regarded by the young captain as a flirtation between the two.
The officer's face immediately darkened. He drove over in a hurry. He wanted to pick up the beautiful lady and express his love for her, but he unexpectedly bumped into his concubine.
…
"Brother Mei Taomei? Why is it you? Didn't you tell my brother to pick me up?" Xie Bing asked with a faint smile without letting go of Zhou Nan's arm.
"Xiao Bing..." The officer named Mei Tao took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Xie Gang happened to have something else to do, so he asked me to come and pick you up... Xiao Bing, who is this?"
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Zhou Nan Zhou Nan from Haidu City. This is Mei Tao, the staff officer of the training department of the Military Region Headquarters and my brother's friend." Xie Bing introduced with a smile.
He took the opportunity to pull his arm out of Zhou Nan's arm and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, hello." Mei Tao's smile became even more forced. He paused, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Zhou Nan.
"Hello." Zhou Nan also smiled and reached out to shake Mei Tao's hand.
But suddenly, he found that the other party was holding on to his hand with great force, as if he wanted to break his wrist.
Zhou Nan was startled for a moment, then frowned and pulled out his hand, then stood aside with an indifferent expression.
Pretending to be Xie Bing's boyfriend was originally Zhou Nan's whim, but it was just a pretense. He couldn't be guilty of becoming a life-or-death love rival with someone else.
"Thank you for sending Xiaobing back. Xiaobing, get in the car and I'll take you home." Mei Tao glanced at Zhou Nan with a cold look, and when he turned back to face Xie Bing, his eyes became full of softness.
Xie Bing shook his head, "No, Mei Tao, just ask Zhou Nan to take me back."
After saying that, Xie Bing hurried back and got into Zhou Nan's Crown car. Zhou Nan frowned and said in his mind that this was the end, pretending to act in front of this person, that's all, but you're not done yet.
No more? Do you still want me to fake it and sing it all the way to your home to meet your parents?
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Xie Bing sticking his head out of the car window and shouted, "Let's go, Zhou Nan, what are you standing there for?"
Zhou Nan shrugged, ignored the officer Mei Tao, and hurriedly turned back to get in the car and started the car.
"I said to Xie Bing, I've helped you perform the play, so that's it. Do you really want me to fake it and sing it for you to go home? You have to think clearly. If you meet your parents, it will be fake.
It's become true..." Zhou Nan half-joked as he stepped on the accelerator.
Xie Bing didn't speak. The blush on her face had long since dissipated. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else... If you do me this favor, I won't let you do it in vain!"
"Haha, forget it, I will send Buddha to the West today. However, I think this man is pretty good. Even if you don't like him, there is no need to do this, right?" Zhou Nan said casually while driving.
.
Xie Bing said nothing, sitting silently in the passenger seat, thinking about his own thoughts.
A strand of messy hair hangs down, two beautiful willow eyebrows are slightly raised, and under the tall and small bridge of the nose, a small cherry mouth is gently pursed, bathed in the sunlight shining through the car window,
Viewed from Zhou Nan's perspective, her side silhouette is strangely charming and charming.
Zhou Nan drove the car into the bustling urban area of the provincial capital. From the rearview mirror, he noticed that the military jeep had been following behind him unhurriedly. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Comrade Xie Bing, your...
A comrade officer has been following behind..."
Xie Bing looked back, frowned, and said nothing.
This Mei Tao was her father Xie Guangrong's old partner when he was the regiment commander. The two families were neighbors in the front and backyard as early as when they were in the regiment. Later, Xie Guangrong became the commander of a certain field division. This Mei Tao's father
He also served as a political commissar in another anti-aircraft artillery brigade, and was later promoted to the commander of the Ningyu Military Division of the Binhai Provincial Military Region, and was also a full-division cadre.
The relationship between Xie Mei's family is very close, and Xie Bing and Mei Tao are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. It's just that love is something that can't be overcome even if it's forced. Maybe the relationship between the two families is too good, plus Mei Tao and Xie Bing
Xie Bing's brother Xie Gang is also a best friend and classmate. Xie Bing only has a brother-like affection for Mei Tao and no relationship between men and women. Moreover, Xie Bing has always felt that Xie Gang has a gloomy and stubborn personality and is too deep in the city, which is not what she likes.
One type.
In fact, Xie Bing herself can't tell which type she likes. She wants the kind of Prince Charming in fairy tales, but she doesn't want Prince Charming to be too creamy and has a bit of military fortitude; she wants that kind of prince charming.
She is a dandy, but she also wants the other person to ride a white horse and have enough financial resources and energy to bring her a romantic surprise... With all these factors, the number of young men in this world who can meet her contradictory conditions is probably very rare, if not rare.
But Mei Tao fell in love with Xie Bing without hesitation. This feeling may have sprouted from a very young age. But no matter how crazy he chased him, and at the same time he received great cooperation and support from Xie Bing's family, Xie Bing could not help but
She just had no feelings for him. The more closely he pursued her, the more Xie Bing rejected him. But considering the relationship between the two adults, she didn't reject him too coldly.
In fact, Xie Bing gave up his job in the military art troupe and was transferred to the Haidu Garrison District, which was considered a positive rejection. But Mei Tao pretended not to understand and continued to "pursue" him.
Xie Bing was unhappy when she saw Mei Tao come to pick her up unexpectedly today, and she had an idea and had just asked Zhou Nan to help pretend to be her boyfriend. In fact, in her opinion, this was not too outrageous. After all, in front of her,
This man was the one she was going on a blind date with today. He could barely be considered her boyfriend.
…
Zhou Nan drove the car to the first family home of the military region. Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhou Nan smiled and said, "Comrade Xie Bing, you are home too. You can get off the car from here. I won't take you in."
Xie Bing nodded, "Thank you, I really trouble you this time."
Xie Bing was about to get out of the car when he suddenly saw Mei Tao's jeep rushing over. Before the two of them could react, Mei Tao parked the car on the side of the road, jumped out of the car, and knocked on Zhou Nan's car window.
Zhou Nan rolled down the window, looked at Mei Tao with a gloomy face and smiled, "Is something wrong?"
Mei Tao ignored Zhou Nan, looked straight at Xie Bing and said solemnly, "Xiao Bing, your brother is out."
Xie Bing and Zhou Nan subconsciously looked into the family courtyard, and sure enough, they saw a captain officer wearing winter uniform and a large-brimmed hat, striding out from inside with majestic steps. As he walked through the door, the sentry whistled.
After giving a salute, Captain Xie Gang immediately returned a marching military salute.
Zhou Nan turned back and glanced at Xie Bing, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face.
Xie Bing blushed and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my brother is here, just go down and say hello... I beg you..."
Zhou Nan sighed, but he had no time to hesitate now, because Xie Bing's brother Xie Gang had already approached, his expression looking quite embarrassed and complicated.
Xie Gang was indeed embarrassed. He had always supported his buddy Mei Tao in pursuing his sister, but his sister never nodded. It was okay to be a little colder to Mei Tao in the past. As long as Xie Bing hasn't gotten married yet, Mei Tao still has a chance.
But this time it was better, Xie Bing came back from Haidu and suddenly brought back a boyfriend without saying a word!
After answering Mei Tao's call, Xie Gang couldn't believe his ears.
It wasn't until he saw Zhou Nan and the black Crown car in person that he suddenly realized that his sister seemed to be serious this time.
Zhou Nan and Xie Bing got out of the car. Xie Gang looked Zhou Nan up and down, while Mei Tao stood aside with a gloomy expression.
Xie Bing smiled and said, "Zhou Nan, this is my brother Xie Gang."
"Hello, Brother Xie." Zhou Nan smiled bitterly in his heart, but since he had already started pretending, the scene had to go on.
Xie Gang frowned, briefly shook hands with Zhou Nan, then looked sideways at his sister and lowered his voice, "Xiao Bing, what are you doing? You brought your friends back without saying hello to your family in advance!"
Xie Bing was speechless and turned to Zhou Nan with a forced smile, "Zhou Nan, you go back. It's getting late. Be careful on the road."
Zhou Nan yelled, and immediately turned around to get in the car and leave quickly. However, Xie Gang's strong hand grabbed his wrist tightly, "Brother, how can you not get in when you're already home? Let's go and sit at home.
Sit down and at least drink a glass of water before leaving!"
Xie Gang's mind was very simple. He felt that he had to find out where the kid in front of him came from. His sister always had a higher eye, and there were very few men who could catch her eye. Today, one suddenly appeared, and he didn't want to figure it out.
How can you still be willing to accept the details of Qing Zhounan?
Besides, my old man and lady heard the unexpected news and were waiting at home.
Xie Bing is already 25, so she is considered a eldest girl. She has never found a partner, and she despises Mei Tao. The Xie family has always suspected that Xie Bing already has someone he likes outside, but they just refused to say it. Suddenly, they heard that
When their daughter brought back a "boyfriend", Xie's family was surprised and happy, so how could they just let Zhou Nan run away.
As for Mei Tao, Xie Gang glanced at him apologetically, and sighed secretly: Brother, I'm sorry, no matter how good our relationship is, I can't replace my sister. She doesn't like you, and there's really nothing I can do about it!
…
Xie Bing's father, Xie Guangrong, is a typical old soldier with a strong temperament and sharp edges. His decades of military career have created his majestic temperament. Xie Bing's mother, Ma Chunfang, is the kind of person who talks a lot and treats others very well.
A passionate woman, I don’t know how a woman like her gave birth to a cold beauty named Xie Binglai who is silent and cold.
"Sit down." Xie Guangrong waved his hands seriously and said in a very deep and deep voice.
"Thank you, Uncle Xie." Zhou Nan complained in his heart but with a calm smile on his face, he sat down. Xie Bing hesitated and sat next to him, while Xie Gang sat on the sofa opposite him.
.
Seeing everyone in the Xie family acting like they were meeting to interrogate their son-in-law, Zhou Nan couldn't tell how he felt. He wanted to walk away, but he felt it was too rude. Although he had no friendship with Xie Bing,
Let alone feelings, but after all, he still has the respect of his godmother Lin Xia, so he won't be too embarrassed.
Xie Bing was already confused at this moment and didn't know how to continue acting. She glanced at Zhou Nan with a slightly embarrassed look, and the "pleading" look in her eyes made Zhou Nan's heart move.
Forget it, let's make peace with it now, it's not a big deal, just make a friend who is a soldier. When Zhou Nan thought about it, he calmed down.
"Xiao Zhou, which school did you graduate from...where do you work now?" Ma Chunfang smiled gently and began her half-hour interrogation.
"Haha, I just graduated from Beijing University last year, and now I work for Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation..." Before Zhou Nan finished speaking, Xie Bing added in a low voice, "Although he has been working for less than a year, he has already
He is a middle-level cadre of the company, the manager of a subsidiary company."
Xie Bing's gratuitous "supplement" was obviously a bit baffling. Zhou Nan couldn't help but glance back at her. Xie Bing blushed and turned his head slightly.
In fact, at this time, Zhou Nan had probably guessed Xie Bing's thoughts. She was a proud girl with her eyes set higher than her head. Even in front of her parents and family, she would not lose her pride. Since Zhou Nan is her
Naturally, the better the "boyfriend" she brings back, the more respect she will have.
Ma Chunfang's eyes lit up. Jinghua University is a famous university, one of the top universities in the country. Being admitted to Jinghua University is enough to prove Zhou Nan's excellence.
"Hey, you have become a manager at such a young age... Not bad, not bad." Ma Chunfang smiled and continued to ask, "Xiao Zhou, what do your parents do?"
"My father works in the Haidu City Public Security Bureau, and my mother is a teacher." As soon as Zhou Nan said this, he immediately guessed that Xie Bing would continue to add, so he paused.
Sure enough, Xie Bing "added", "His father is the deputy secretary of the Haidu Political and Legal Committee and the director of the Public Security Bureau."
Ma Chunfang's smiling eyes became even more full of smiles. She turned around and exchanged a knowing look with her husband Xie Guangrong, who had a calm face. A director of a prefecture-level city public security bureau, although not as high as Xie Guangrong, a division cadre.
, but I can’t bear it. They have more real power and can be regarded as a very good official family.
He has a good education, a good job, a good family background, and he looks mature, stable and polite... He is a perfect match for our Xiaobing! Ma Chunfang felt happy, and she liked Zhou Nan more and more as she looked at her.
His attitude became more enthusiastic.
The more enthusiastic she is, the more uncomfortable Zhou Nan will be, and the more embarrassed Xie Bing will undoubtedly be.
"Xiao Gang, you talk to Xiao Zhou. Xiao Bing, let's go cook. Xiao Zhou, stay at home for dinner tonight. I think it's getting late. You can stay one night today."
Go back early tomorrow morning!”
"No... Aunt Ma, I have something to do at home..." Zhou Nan stood up and was about to refuse, when Xie Gang strode over, pressed his arms and "pressed" him back to the sofa, "Okay, this is the first time.
It’s so late at home, how can I still let you go back? Please stay, let’s have a nice drink tonight!”
"Well, it's quite late. We won't worry if you rush back so late. Let's just stay for one night." Xie Guangrong stood up, put on his military cap, adjusted his style and buckle, and strode outside, "I
I will be on duty tonight and go back to the army. You can leave me alone for dinner tonight!"
A gentle smile appeared on Xie Guangrong's angular face. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Zhou Nan. Although Zhou Nan was not as "handsome" as Mei Tao in appearance, looks were not a thing for food. Zhou Nan's
Xie Guangrong's calm and elegant bookishness made Xie Guangrong feel very comfortable at first.
"This guy is good, Xiao Bing is very discerning." Xie Guangrong walked out with this idea and got into the car that was waiting outside. He was on duty in the army tonight and should have left long ago, but he just listened
After talking about Zhou Nan and Xie Bing, I waited for a while and met them in person to check them out.
…
Xie Gang, who was the deputy battalion commander in a certain unit, was very outgoing and drank a lot. It didn't take long for Zhou Nan to be drunk by him. Little did he know that this was Xie Gang's intention. He didn't want to test Zhou Nan's drinking capacity.
, but wanted to see if Zhou Nan's "true colors" were revealed after he was drunk.
The so-called "telling the truth after drinking" means that it is easiest for people to take off the mask on their face after being drunk. But Zhou Nan is a gentle man after all. Although he is 70% to 80% drunk, his words and deeds still remain somewhat calm and calm, and he is not at all
Maybe "drunk like crazy".
Seeing Xie Gang helping Zhou Nan to the guest room, Ma Chunfang smiled slightly, looked at her daughter Xie Bing and said, "Xiao Bing, you have good taste this time. This young man is very good and he is a good match for you. Your father just called back.
Come on, I'm very satisfied, so let's talk to him and see when we can meet his parents and settle your affairs as soon as possible!"
Xie Bing was startled, her face turned red and she said softly, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about... You haven't even written your horoscope yet, so what's the deal?"
"Stinky girl, your mother still doesn't understand you? You are so ambitious! If you don't like me, if your relationship doesn't reach this level, will you bring her to your home? And let me go all the way?
I'll drive you home from Haidu?" Ma Chunfang scolded with a smile.
With a cry, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Bing, you are quite old now. If you don't like Mei Tao, just don't like me. After all, it is your life-long event, and mother can't force you. But now that you have a partner, you can
You need to treat others well...do you hear me?"
Xie Bing was speechless, lowering his head and unable to say a word.
Originally, she thought very simply, but by chance, she had an idea and asked Zhou Nan to pretend to be her boyfriend, which completely dispelled Mei Tao's delusion and asked him to stop pestering her. But due to a strange combination of circumstances, Zhou Nan's drama not only played out at home, but also
She acted so superbly, met her parents like this, and ate such a meal, it gave Xie Bing some illusion, as if Zhou Nan was really her boyfriend.
…
"Go see him and take care of him." Ma Chunfang pushed Xie Bing.
Xie Bing blushed and glanced helplessly at her mother, hesitated for a moment, and then walked into the guest room.
In fact, Zhou Nan was not really drunk, he was just pretending to be drunk. He also saw it. If he didn't pretend to be drunk, he would have to let Xie Gang let himself go tonight.
When Xie Bing came in, he was lighting a cigarette and half lying on the bed.
Seeing Xie Bing come in, he quickly sat up and smiled, "I have a headache. I drank too much. I'll smoke..."
"It's okay, you can smoke." Xie Bing walked over and opened the window a crack.
Then, she sat on the sofa in the room.
Although they pretend to be "boyfriend and boyfriend", the two of them are actually very strangers. If they were to sit together, there would actually be nothing to say.
The atmosphere in the room was very dull, and Zhou Nan also had a headache. Even if he pretended to be drunk, he still drank seven or eight taels of Moutai, and it would be uncomfortable if he got drunk.
"I'm sorry to bother you today... I'll go back early tomorrow morning." Zhou Nan let out a long breath, "Your brother is so good at drinking, I'm no match for him, haha."
"I should be embarrassed...thank you today..." Xie Bing said, her originally indifferent face suddenly turned bright red, because she suddenly thought of a very critical question: her section chief, her
Meng Yulian, the introducer of Zhou Nan's blind date, is not only Zhou Nan's godmother's good sister, but also the wife of her father's old subordinate.
Based on her understanding of her mother, Ma Chunfang, she would definitely "seek confirmation" from Meng Yulian soon, maybe even calling her right now. Once she found out that she had brought home a man she had just had a blind date with... Oh my God.
!How can this happen?!
Xie Bing was "frightened" for a while, ashamed and anxious. He immediately wanted to get up and go to his mother's place to check the situation, but he felt dizzy and collapsed on the sofa again.
Zhou Nan was taken aback, hurriedly put out the cigarette butt, walked over and leaned over to hold her shoulders and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xie Bing's face was so red that he could squeeze out water, just like a ripe peach.
She sighed and looked helplessly at the young man who was so close to her, who made her feel very strange and yet vaguely close to her, and slowly closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes were blinking, and her small cherry lips were so bright that they were dripping with color.

…
Just as Xie Bing guessed, when she entered Zhou Nan's room, Ma Chunfang immediately went back to the room and dialed Meng Yulian's home phone. Meng Yulian was also a little surprised, and she did not expect that Xie Bing had just met Zhou Nan.
Did the two of them advance so quickly?
However, Meng Yulian did not reveal her identity to Xie Bing. She just said that she was the introducer and repeatedly emphasized that Zhou Nan was a very good young man. She also said that the Zhou family were very kind and that Xie Bing would definitely not be disadvantaged if she married him in the future.
After talking to Ma Chunfang on the phone, Meng Yulian called Lin Xia.
"Sisters, have you slept?"
Lin Xia was getting ready to go to bed. She answered the phone and lay on the bed lazily, "I'm ready, but I haven't gone to bed yet. I'm waiting for that damn Xue Yuanyang, and I don't know where he went to feed horse urine."
Meng Yulian smiled and said teasingly, "At this age, you still can't fall asleep without a man holding you?"
"Fuck you, don't talk nonsense..." Lin Xia laughed and cursed.
"Hey, I said your godson is quite capable..." Meng Yulian said in a low and mysterious voice, "We just met once, and we went home with Xie Bing for dinner to meet his parents, and even stayed at Xie's house tonight.
! Just now Xie Bing’s mother called me and said that Xie Bing came home and introduced him as her boyfriend... It’s very interesting!”
"Ah..." Lin Xia was also taken aback. She suddenly sat up excitedly and laughed loudly, "You brat, you really have a trick! Okay, okay, I said it, sisters, I told you already.
The two of them are a perfect match...Look, this is fate, right? This little girl from the Xie family is never looking for a partner, which means she is waiting for our Nannan..."
…
Xie family.
Xie Bing stood up with a red face and said, "You can rest, I'm going back."
"Oh, please walk slowly." Zhou Nan suddenly hesitated, "Can I take a shower in your bathroom? I want to take a shower, but I'm all sticky and uncomfortable."
Xie Bing was startled and hesitated. Her mother and brother-in-law lived downstairs, and there was only one bathroom. It was obviously inconvenient for Zhou Nan to take a bath downstairs. Upstairs, she lived alone, and there was also a bathroom, but...
"Forget it, no need, go back and rest." Zhou Nan waved his hand.
"Come upstairs with me to wash up. There is a bathroom upstairs." After Xie Bing finished speaking, he hurriedly fled the room.
