Ren Zhouyuan stared at Leonid in surprise, with disbelief written all over his face.
Leonid's scalp was numb from his stare, and he couldn't help but secretly reflect on what he had done wrong. He felt that his plan of chasing his wife had always been quite frank, and he never thought of hiding anyone. If he said that the only thing he concealed was that An An was born by Ren Zhouyuan.
Ren Zhouyuan's reaction reminded him that he didn't seem to tell his family clearly that he was chasing a man, they only knew that he was chasing his wife, and that she gave birth to a son for him.
According to ordinary people's thinking...
Thinking of this, not only did his scalp tingle, but even his eyelids began to twitch.
He hadn't worried about how his family would feel when they found out that Ren Zhouyuan was a man, but he could understand Ren Zhouyuan's nervousness in a different place.
Leonid coughed and said: "Don't worry, my family knows you and An'an, and they are very supportive."
Ren Zhouyuan gave him a disgusted look with an expression of disbelief.
Not to mention how many people in this world can accept two men being together, even if the society is becoming more and more open, most families still have objections, don't they? Not to mention that An An was born by him, sometimes even he himself dare not confidently say that he is a normal person, where did this person get the confidence to lie to him that his family is very supportive.
Leonid was afraid that he would not believe it, so he added, "Why don't I let you meet someday when you are free?"
The abacus in his heart was crackling, and he thought that for a traditional person like Ren Zhouyuan, given how much he valued his family, he still had to let his family meet him, so that this person would really regard himself as a family. Besides, although Alexander is occasionally unreliable, he has been quite capable in several things recently. Coupled with the lobbying of Alexi and Dalia, maybe Ren Zhouyuan will completely open up after the meeting. The relationship is safe.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that they should meet as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Ren Zhouyuan's face changed when he heard his words. One second, he was looking forward to it, and the next second his face was full of displeasure. That face changed to An An's usual entanglement. The faces are exactly the same.
Facing Leonid's expectant gaze, Ren Zhouyuan finally sighed, and said apologetically, "I know your kindness, but I'm not ready yet," he pursed his lips, "You give me more a little time."
Leonid nodded, he knew what Ren Zhouyuan was worried about, and he didn't force him, but just kept this matter in his heart.
He changed the subject after this was exposed, and said, "Do you remember the thank you meeting last time?"
Ren Zhouyuan paused and nodded. Of course he remembered that meeting, that was the day when his identity as "An Yi" was exposed, and he and Leonid got closer because of this incident, but he didn't know why he suddenly brought it up.
Leonid said: "That day we invited many government officials and well-known people in the industry. After that, the articles you wrote, together with the manuscripts submitted by the scholars that Ron found, combined many factors, and the follow-up progress was very gratifying. He took out a document from the drawer, "The day before yesterday we officially obtained the red-headed document from the government. Although we made some concessions on the content, the general direction is finally going according to our original plan. This is the document issued by the government." ,You can have a look."
Ren Zhouyuan reached out and took it. He was a little curious about what the concession Leonid was talking about, so he jumped to find that part of the content and read it carefully.
"That is to say, if we want to enroll students, we have to regularly go to the schools they designate to give free lectures?" Ren Zhouyuan said.
Leonid nodded and said: "Because of the high cost of purchasing equipment, they don't have teachers who specialize in this area. What the other party wants to borrow is our part of the resources, but we can treat it as another form of Publicity does not add too much cost to us."
Ren Zhouyuan thought in his heart that such a condition is not a concession at all, but a win-win situation that kills two birds with one stone! As Leonid said, if you enter major campuses for free to give lectures, as long as the content is set to be attractive, and the content of the lectures does not involve too many core courses, are you afraid that you will not be able to recruit students
This kind of result was unexpected to them before, and it has to be said that the result of this conversation is beneficial to them and does not cause any harm. Thinking of the previous pressure from the government and the Bureau of Education, such a reversal now makes Ren Zhouyuan think that the other party is still Will there be any follow-up tricks.
He expressed his doubts, Leonid shook his head, and thought for a while before saying: "Actually, they had another request at the beginning, but Ron fought for a long time before they let them dismiss this idea."
"What request?" Ren Zhouyuan asked curiously.
Leonid hesitated for a moment, and said: "It is to let 'An Yi' go to various colleges and universities as a guest lecturer."
Ren Zhouyuan was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise: "Me?" He pointed to himself, "What can I do."
Leonid shook his head and smiled, "Don't underestimate yourself." Leonid had been struggling with this matter for a long time, and he knew that this might make Ren Zhouyuan more confident, so that he would no longer be satisfied with himself It was a square inch of land, but he didn't want him to go out and show his face, so he finally asked Ron to reject this condition.
The Education Bureau approached him because he had pried Ren Zhouyuan's big rock. He must have tried many times over the years but ended in failure. Ren Zhouyuan obviously didn't know about these things, and from Leonid's point of view, he hoped to keep Ren Zhouyuan's "easy" identity well hidden.
On the one hand, he hoped that Ren Zhouyuan could stay at home and take care of An'an like his sister-in-law Dalia, and on the other hand, he hoped to see the sparkle in his eyes when he talked about something he was interested in .
His possessive desire for Ren Zhouyuan was deeper than he thought, but he knew that Ren Zhouyuan would not want to be raised as a canary, so he could only compromise and restrain his desire for control as much as possible.
Leonid said: "Although the requirement to be a guest lecturer has been revoked, we may still attend various conferences for promotion purposes. At that time, we may still need to use the status of 'An Yi'."
Ren Zhouyuan nodded in understanding, but he didn't have much thought about his identity. At that time, he didn't use his real name because he didn't want people who knew him to know, and because he didn't have enough education, he was worried that he would be looked down upon and others would not be convinced. Now the members of the archaeological team already know that "An Yi" is him, and he no longer needs to make a living by submitting articles, so there is no need to hide it.
The two chatted about work matters for a while, and resolved the work left behind after a few days of rest. Seeing that the work was almost done, Leonid pretended to be nonchalant and suddenly asked, "How do you feel physically? "
Ren Zhouyuan paused, and looked back at him inexplicably, "My body? I'm pretty healthy, what's wrong?"
Leonid's expression was ambiguous, his eyes moved to his waist, and then back to Ren Zhouyuan. Ren Zhouyuan felt hairy all over his body when he saw it, and it took a while to finally realize the meaning of his words.
He looked ashamed and didn't want to talk to him, making an excuse not to talk about things unrelated to work during working hours.
But he forgot that Leonid had always been a person who disregarded public and private matters, and insisted on asking the answer sentence after sentence. While talking, this person moved to Ren Zhouyuan's side, pretending to massage his waist but actually started eating tofu.
Ren Zhouyuan glared at him, and just as he slapped his hand off, Leonid continued to lean over shamelessly. He hastily put away the documents to be processed and got up to leave, his back looked like he was running away.
It wasn't until he sat back in his seat that Ren Zhouyuan vaguely figured out the meaning of Leonid's words—
Could the man be implying something
