Although An An showed a very disgusting attitude, according to his own words, since he promised his father, he must do it well. Therefore, although Leonid's speed of learning Chinese did not seem to be making much progress, at least this freshman year Xiao is not as tense as when we first met.
Ren Zhouyuan saw the changes in An An during this period of time. The guy talked about how stupid Leonid was, but Ren Zhouyuan felt that it was just An An acting like a baby to him. Seeing him gradually accepting the existence of Leonid day by day, his small mouth has changed from taciturn to eloquent now, and he can't tell how complicated it is.
When sleeping at night, An An also learned to complain to him, saying that today he taught Leonid to say his name in Chinese, and the 13-character name did not make Leonid roll his tongue.
An An imitated Leonid's tone of voice while talking, laughing and dancing, and fell into Ren Zhouyuan's arms and giggled non-stop. Ren Zhouyuan was really helpless and funny at his rare naughtiness.
But this reminded him of another thing. After sending An An to an interest class the next day, Ren Zhouyuan found Leonid and saw that he was reading Chinese learning books and not working, so he mentioned this to him. I've been thinking about it for a long time.
He meaningfully asked Leonid a few words about his recent relationship with An An, organized his words in his head, and said, "An An's name, do you have any thoughts?"
Leonid paused, tapped the table with his index finger a few times, and said after a while: "I said before that I would not compete with you for An An, so if you mind, just keep An An's name as it is, and you don't need to be too concerned about it." Don't care what I think."
Ren Zhouyuan shook his head when he heard the words, "You misunderstood," he smiled: "I didn't think much about those family inheritance. My name was given to me by the dean of the orphanage at that time. Of course it was An'an. I didn't choose a name randomly, I just wanted to ask for your opinion."
He paused, and then said: "After all, An An is also... Cough, your son, I just thought that since he is a mixed race, it would not be a big problem to have a Chinese name and a Russian name."
Leonid nodded in understanding, then he reached out and took out a small book from the drawer, opened one of the pages and handed it to Ren Zhouyuan.
Ren Zhouyuan took it and saw that there were two names written on it. Judging from the handwriting, at least it was not written in two days.
"Ivan Leonid Stasievich," Ren Zhouyuan whispered to one of the names. For some reason, this name immediately attracted his attention. He raised his head and asked him: "Is there any special meaning to this name?"
"Precious Son of God," replied Leonid, looking him in the eyes.
Ren Zhouyuan's heart was hit hard, and he lowered his head and recited silently again. After a while, he closed the notebook and said to Leonid, "That's it."
"What about the other one?" Leonid asked him. "Bervshka, isn't that a good name?"
Ren Zhouyuan shook his head, "Ivan, this is pretty good."
Leonid nodded. He didn't tell Ren Zhouyuan the meaning of the other name. If the second name contained his own selfishness, then the first name contained his blessings for An An.
Ren Zhouyuan didn't tell An An about his new name. He could almost imagine An An's disgusted look when he heard his name. Leonid reads.
Leonid carried out what Confucius said about not being ashamed to ask. He followed An An's buttocks and asked him whether he read each word correctly. It's just that he kindly didn't expose it, and let the father and son cultivate their relationship.
Before, Ren Zhouyuan asked Fan Wenfeng to help accept the invitation from the drafting party, and he didn't ask him about the follow-up of this matter. Looking at Leonid's relaxed behavior recently, he couldn't figure out whether it was because of An An's relationship or because of it. The matter of drafting was resolved, but soon he knew the reason.
On this day, Ren Zhouyuan was writing a manuscript in his room, and there was a rare knock on the door, and then he saw Leonid.
"Is it convenient?" Leonid pushed open the door and showed his head.
Ren Zhouyuan nodded and stood up, "Please come in." He pulled the chair over and sat on the bed by himself. After they sat down, they asked, "What's wrong?"
Leonid said: "We are planning a thank-you party, and we want to invite cooperative institutions and some government officials to participate, so as to promote the maker base that will be promoted next." Ren Zhouyuan nodded, "This is very good," he said After thinking for a while, he said, "Inviting government officials, can I understand that the previous crisis has been resolved?"
Leonid nodded, with a rare relaxed expression on his face, "At first we had given up hope. The last time I went to Haicheng, I also contacted another scholar. There was something wrong with the discussion process, and it still didn't come to fruition. Luo En is also in contact with other people. He has talked with him a few times, but he is not very famous. It can start to make an impact, but the influence is not enough." He said again: "But I didn't expect that the one we have been inviting before The scholar suddenly agreed to our invitation, which made our work a lot easier. We have been dealing with people from the government for the past two days, and with such a bargaining chip in hand, the follow-up work will be much smoother."
Ren Zhouyuan was also happy for him when he heard that, and he had to say that Fan Wenfeng's work was really well done, and the matter was resolved smoothly without him being the party involved from the beginning to the end.
He said congratulations, and then heard Leonid say: "This appreciation meeting can also be regarded as the company's periodic mid-year summary meeting, so I was thinking..." He paused, "Can you bring An An Shall we go together?" Ren Zhouyuan was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that this was what Leonid was going to say.
Leonid immediately said again: "Don't worry, I won't let An An go on stage to do anything, just bring you to attend together." He looked at Ren Zhouyuan with a little tentative eyes, and said carefully: "That day the whole company Everyone will be present, and of course you will also participate as part of your work, so you should take An An to eat delicious food, is that okay?"
Ren Zhouyuan wanted to laugh a little, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that Leonid was always cautious when facing him after he moved in.
He thought of what Ron had said to him before. He said that the Russians changed before they got married. Before they got married, the world seemed to owe them money. How cold it is, how hot it is after marriage.
But their current situation is a bit different. They are not "married" and not passionate, but they are at a subtle boundary in this specious relationship.
Ren Zhouyuan doesn't know if people have this kind of vanity, but as far as he is concerned, a person who you used to think he was superior and showed disdain for you everywhere has become what he is now. On the one hand, he enjoys Leonid Changed his attitude to please him, but somewhere in his heart he couldn't bear to see him obliterating his original nature.
"You don't have to be so careful." Ren Zhouyuan thought so, and suddenly blurted out. Seeing Leonid stunned for a moment, he quickly waved his hands and explained: "Since we have moved in, according to you, we are a 'family'. I would hide from An An to meet you before, because I was afraid that you would ... Well, that's it, but now that we've moved in, as long as it's good for An'an, I won't stop it."
Leonid's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with full expectation: "So you mean, you will attend together?"
"En." Ren Zhouyuan nodded in response, but after sending Leonid out, he always felt that something was wrong.
