Just at this time, Wu Meirong's voice came from downstairs, and it turned out that the dinner was ready.
Xia Haoran followed Xie Zhenhua downstairs. The dining table in the living room was already filled with food and wine. Seeing Wu Meirong setting the dishes, he stepped forward and said, "My sister-in-law has cooked so many dishes. Isn't this too rich? Let's
It’s too much for four people to eat.”
"Look what you said, why are you so polite at your elder brother's house? Come and sit down, we'll be ready soon." Wu Meirong said happily. When she mentioned this, she suddenly turned around and said to Xie Zhenhua: "By the way, Lao Xie, you
Have you called your son?"
"Hit. Today Haoran came to our house as a guest, so naturally he wanted to call his son back. But the boy actually told me that he was busy with something and might arrive later. Look, what did he say? After working as an official for a few days, now
He didn’t even listen to what I, the old man, said. Could it be that he was the only one who had ever been an official and I hadn’t been one? He even started to show off to me.”
Xie Zhenhua knew that for warriors like them to practice, their own efforts are only one aspect. It is also very important to have guidance from experts. At least they must avoid many detours to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
And this was what he had in mind. He finally caught a good opportunity. It was rare to meet an expert like Xia Haoran, so he had to quickly ask his son to come back to meet him. If he could form a good relationship, it would undoubtedly be good for his son.
It is a great blessing. Even if you take ten thousand steps back, even if you cannot get married in the end, it is still good to have some immortal energy!
He himself can no longer worship Xia Haoran as his teacher, but he believes that now that he has tied this thread, it is not impossible to go further in the future. However, Xie Zhenhua knows very well in his heart that he is old after all, and it is not impossible to go further in the future.
It is impossible to go too far, but my son is different. He is still in his prime and has high talent. If he can get some guidance from Xia Haoran, he will definitely benefit a lot!
This was also the main reason why he was anxious to call his son to come back.
With Xia Haoran's current keen insight, he could somewhat discern Xie Zhenhua's intentions. However, he did not say anything. Although Xie Zhenhua's behavior was a bit narrow-minded, this was his true temperament.
Poor parents in the world!
As a parent, who doesn’t want his son to become a dragon and his daughter to become a phoenix?
The banquet was in full swing when I saw a middle-aged man in his forties and a beautiful middle-aged woman quickly pushing the door open and walking in.
"Huh! You still know how to come back?" Xie Zhenhua snorted coldly when he saw the two people coming in.
Wu Meirong quickly got up and introduced Xia Haoran. Only then did Xia Haoran know that this middle-aged man was named Xie Jinghui, who was Xie Zhenhua's only son, and the beautiful middle-aged woman next to him was his wife.
Seeing this middle-aged man and woman, Xia Haoran couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself: Damn it! Brother Xie's son is almost equal to his father's generation, how can he say "nephew" out loud?
Xie Jinghui, who had just come back, looked dumbfounded at the moment. Originally, his father called him specifically to come back, saying that he was going to introduce him to a mysterious senior master. He knew that his father liked to play this game.
I wanted to ignore it, but I excused myself by saying that my employer was busy with work recently and I really couldn’t spare the time.
Who would have thought that my father would get so angry that he yelled on the phone: "Even if he is elected as municipal party secretary today, he has to turn down the job and come back quickly, otherwise don't call him father in the future and don't come into this house again."
After Xie Zhenhua's words were released, what could Xie Jinghui, as a son, say? Originally, he did have work to be busy with, but in the world, his father was the biggest. So he had no choice but to give up his work at work and hurried home with his wife.
rush.
Just like this, Xie Jinghui kept cursing while driving along the way...
Look what's going on!
Just go back, I thought it was to make the old man happy, but when he got home and saw it, he immediately became stupid!
He thought that the old man had met a wise man, but he turned out to be a young kid! And it seemed that he was not yet twenty years old. If he hadn't known the old man well, he would have doubted whether the old man was
He suddenly suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and he actually called himself brother to a young brat who was younger than his grandson. Isn't he just fooling around!
"Jing Hui, what are you doing standing there? Come and meet your uncle soon!" After a while, Xie Zhenhua turned around and glared at Xie Jinghui with dissatisfaction.
"he?"
"What is he? Has he been an official for a few days and then started to look at people with his nose turned upward? He is your new brother Xia Haoran. Why don't you come over and call 'uncle'?" Xie Zhenhua seemed even more dissatisfied this time.
Now, my speaking voice has improved a lot.
Seeing this situation, Xia Haoran didn't dare to allow the father and son to continue the conversation. He quickly stood up and interrupted: "No, no! Thanks, brother, we have been friends for many years, but Jing Hui and I still have our own differences.
Okay, my name is Xia Haoran, and this is my girlfriend Li Mengyao."
"Haoran, how can this be possible? Don't look at me, brother, I am so knowledgeable and have been an official, but I always bear in mind the rules left by my ancestors. You and I are brothers, how can this generational hierarchy be messed up?
Here." Xie Zhenhua said with a serious face.
Xia Haoran looked at Xie Zhenhua's serious expression and felt a headache. But he immediately waved his hand and said: "It's just a title. How can we, the people in the world, care about this? What's more, as I am now, I can't say anything.
He would feel awkward if Jinghui called me uncle. If he called me that in front of others, what would other people think? So, Jinghui and I just call each other our own, why should Brother Xie care about this anymore?
"
Xia Haoran said this, in addition to the fact that it was just as he said, it was indeed inconvenient to be in front of others, and at the same time, it also took care of Xie Jinghui's feelings.
"this……"
Xia Haoran's words made Xie Zhenhua hesitate. Although what Xia Haoran said was indeed very reasonable, as a lifelong educator, the fine traditions of Chinese civilization have been deeply ingrained in his heart.
"Let's do this, if there are outsiders present, just call him Mr. Xia; if no outsiders are present, call him uncle." Xie Zhenhua said seriously.
"Yes, father!" Xie Jinghui responded quickly.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This result was already very good. Before, he was still worried about how he should call the young man in front of others. Otherwise, if word spread that he called a young kid uncle, he would not
Makes people laugh out loud.
But now, the way he looked at Xia Haoran was much more pleasing to the eye, and although he was a little tangled in his heart, the weird feeling was much less, so he took a step forward, raised his hand to Xia Haoran and said, "See, Jing Hui."
Live like an uncle!"
Xia Haoran smiled and nodded.
After everyone sat down, the dinner continued.
…
After three drinks, "Haoran, what do you think of Jing Hui?" Xie Zhenhua really cared about his son. He poured Xia Haoran another glass of wine and asked with a smile.
"Very good!" Xia Haoran glanced at Xie Jinghui and responded casually.
Although Xia Haoran has little experience in the world, he often watches TV and has heard about it. He has seen people like Xie Jinghui a lot, and he doesn't want to say more. And from the other person's eyes and facial expressions, Xia Haoran can tell Xie Jinghui
He can guess what he is thinking. If he wants to investigate his own background, then let him do it. If he can find out something, it will be a credit to him!
Xia Haoran knew that since he joined the Ninth Bureau, his personal files have become confidential. Without certain identity and authority, no one can see anything of value related to him.
Furthermore, this was not a deliberate act by Xia Haoran, but he felt that he and Xie Jinghui seemed to be two parallel lines, and it would be difficult for them to have any intersection in the future.
But having said that, multiple friends mean multiple circles. The most popular word these days is to expand your network and expand your circle. Since Xie Zhenhua intends to let himself say a few words, then he should also give him some guidance.
"Haoran was joking, what's so good about him? He has only been an official for a few years, and his temper has improved a lot. Alas, he still has seen too little of the world. If he can get some advice from you, he will definitely suffer less in the future.
!" Xie Zhenhua said frankly.
Good?
Xie Jinghui, who was on the side, smiled secretly to himself at this moment. These words were more perfunctory than what he usually said when dealing with his men's slapping his beard and flinching. At first glance, he looked like a pretentious charlatan.
"You'd better not let me catch you in pigtails, otherwise I will definitely let you know how powerful I am." Xie Jinghui thought to himself.
Xia Haoran did not explore what was going on in Xie Jinghui's mind at this moment. Only then did he start to look at Xie Jinghui carefully. He thought that Xie Jinghui was really just like Xie Zhenhua, a piece of martial arts training material, but it was a pity that
, they are unable to practice the law, and they have not improved much in their cultivation. On the contrary, they have destroyed themselves.
"Eh!"
Xia Haoran's eyes changed slightly. Under the influence of his spiritual consciousness, everything in Xie Jinghui's body was clearly presented in Xia Haoran's mind.
Xia Haoran nodded and shook his head, and then turned his attention to the beautiful middle-aged woman next to Xie Jinghui.
It is said that when Xia Haoran released his spiritual consciousness, other people around him didn't feel anything at all, but Xie Jinghui, who was the person involved, was startled. His sixth sense told him that the young kid in front of him had those special pair of eyes just now.
Under her bright eyes, it seemed that she was just like a beautiful woman without any clothes on, and all the secrets about her body were revealed.
"this……"
However, Xie Jinghui suppressed the surprise and doubt in his heart and did not ask in detail.
Xia Haoran's eyes swept back and forth between Xie Jinghui and the middle-aged beautiful woman a few times, then smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Then let me say a few words, meeting each other is fate, so I should thank you.
Brother, this is a feast for you."
"Haoran, judging from what you said...this is just a casual meal."
When Xie Zhenhua heard this, he felt a little ashamed. What kind of feast? Just those sea cucumbers and the like? It's not a delicacy, it's just an ordinary meal.
The key is that when Xia Haoran said this, he was out of touch!
