After Xu Yiyang finished the meeting with everyone, he handed over the follow-up training to Liu Mingchao, and gave Li Xuan some Tuzki sketches he had taken the time to draw, before he returned home leisurely.
As soon as she got home, Shen Lele called him and told him that her parents wanted to treat him to a meal and wanted to see when he was free.
Xu Yiyang just said something casually, so Shen Lele decided to go tonight.
Xu Yiyang didn't have any objections. Since it was impossible to hide the matter of lending money to Shen Lele to buy a house from her parents, there was no need for him to hide it.
Shen Lele chose the restaurant where they ate Yellow River carp for the first time.
At half past six in the evening, Xu Yiyang asked Zhang Chong to send him there. Shen Lele and her parents had already arrived.
Because the business of this restaurant was relatively good, a family of three came over early and asked for a small private room on the second floor.
When Xu Yiyang knocked on the door and came in, the three of them were chatting. Seeing him come in, Shen Lele's father Shen Yongming stood up subconsciously, and then Sun Huiping beside him also stood up.
Shen Lele didn't expect that her parents would actually stand up, so she followed suit in a daze.
Xu Yiyang said hurriedly: "Uncle and aunt, please sit down quickly. I'm sorry I'm late."
Shen Yongming was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not too late. It's just that we came early."
After that, he said: "Come on, come on, Xiao Xu, sit down quickly."
Xu Yiyang nodded and sat down near Shen Lele.
It was the first time to have dinner with Shen Lele's parents. This feeling was a bit awkward. Fortunately, Xu Yiyang was an adult, so he thought to himself that as long as he avoided the relationship between the two, he could talk openly about anything else.
Sun Huiping was also a little nervous. She probably felt that she owed Xu Yiyang a huge favor, so she smiled unnaturally and said, "Xiao Xu, aunt ordered some dishes. I'll ask the waiter to bring the menu later. Take a look." Is there anything else you want to eat?”
Xu Yiyang saw that there were already six cold dishes on the table. This was not the way for four people to eat. He didn't know how many hot dishes were behind him, so he hurriedly said: "Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. I don't have a big appetite and I'm not picky about food." .”
Shen Yongming looked at him and asked, "Would you like two drinks? I'll ask the waiter to bring a bottle of wine."
Xu Yiyang said: "Uncle, if you want to drink, I will drink with you. If you don't drink, I won't drink either."
Shen Yongming hurriedly asked: "You're not driving, are you?"
Xu Yiyang shook his head and said: "The driver drove it."
Shen Yongming said: "Okay, let's have two drinks together."
After saying that, he said to Sun Huiping: "Daughter-in-law, you will drive later."
"Okay." Sun Huiping nodded and said, "Xiao Xu, what kind of wine do you like to drink? Auntie, ask the waiter to get it. If not, auntie will go out and buy it."
Xu Yiyang felt that Shen Lele's parents were too polite and even a little overwhelmed, so he hurriedly said: "Auntie, I can drink anything. You really don't need to be so polite to me, it makes me a little nervous. .”
Sun Huiping nodded hurriedly and said, "Auntie, go down and have a look."
Xu Yiyang was helpless and said: "I have wine in the car, how about I go get a bottle and bring it up."
With that said, he stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Shen Yongming, who was sitting closer to the back, said hurriedly: "Oh, stop Xiao Xu quickly. How can we let him get the wine..."
Sun Huiping was a little slow. After a moment, she suddenly realized and said, "I'll go right away."
Shen Lele stopped her and said helplessly: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you all acting like you've met the leader..."
Sun Huiping said subconsciously: "Neither I nor the leaders of our hospital have ever been so nervous."
Shen Yongming also nodded repeatedly: "They lent us more than one million..."
Shen Lele sighed and said: "Xu Yiyang didn't tell us how to thank him. Let's just have a meal together. Why do you have to be so nervous? Besides, I owe Xu Yiyang a huge debt for this matter." I also owe you favors and money, so don’t take it all on yourself..."
Sun Huiping said hurriedly: "Okay, Mom understands, Mom should try to be as natural as possible."
Shen Yongming also reflected on himself and said: "Oh, I am indeed a little nervous. Dad, please calm down. I will be fine after a few sips of wine."
Sun Huiping then remembered about the wine and said, "Then should I go?"
Shen Yongming waved his hand: "Forget it, since Xiao Xu has gone down, let's not be too polite. I just invited him to a meal today, and I didn't want to return his favor. Besides, this favor can't be repaid with just one meal. Got it."
Sun Huiping nodded and sat down on her seat.
Xu Yiyang had already told Zhang Chong to keep tobacco and alcohol in the car in case of emergencies, so there were always several bottles of Maotai, several bottles of Wuliangye, and two strips of Soft China in the trunk.
Xu Yiyang didn't know if Shen Lele's father smoked, so he took two bottles of Maotai and turned back upstairs.
Seeing Xu Yiyang come back with two bottles of Maotai, Shen Lele's parents felt that it was inappropriate to treat him to a meal and let him get the wine himself. Fortunately, Shen Lele reminded them with his eyes, so the two of them said nothing.
The cold dishes were already served, so Xu Yiyang opened the wine, poured a small cup for Shen Lele's father first, and then poured a small cup for himself.
There was a bottle of Huiyuan on the table, so he opened it on his own initiative and poured a glass each for Shen Lele and Sun Huiping.
After pouring, he picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncle and aunt, let me toast you."
The couple had been very nervous. Seeing Xu Yiyang toasting, they hurriedly picked up the glasses.
After finishing one cup, Xu Yiyang immediately poured another cup and said to Shen Yongming: "Uncle, I want to toast you alone."
Shen Yongming nodded and was about to pour the wine, but Xu Yiyang took the lead and poured it for him.
After drinking this glass, Xu Yiyang poured another glass of wine and said with a smile: "Come on, uncle, let's make it a little darker."
The reason why Xu Yiyang continued to drink with Shen Yongming was because he found that Shen Yongming was a little unnatural, so he let him drink a few drinks first and quickly sorted out his status.
After three rounds of drinking, Shen Yongming indeed felt a lot more natural.
The family hadn't even started to mention the house at the dinner table, they just wanted to wait for him, the head of the family, to talk about it.
Shen Yongming took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, drank another one with Xu Yiyang, and then sighed: "Xiao Xu, Lele told me and your aunt about the house. Your aunt and I sincerely thank you, you The road paved for Lele is much better than the one paved by me and your aunt. Come on, uncle gives you a toast."
Sun Huiping also hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Yes, Xiao Xu, aunt and your uncle respect you together and thank you for everything you have done for Lele. Your uncle and I will definitely do our best to repay the money."
Xu Yiyang hesitated for a moment, looked at the couple, and said seriously: "Uncle and aunt, the house matter is between me and Lele. She said thank you to me. I can still afford it. You two Tell me thank you, I really can’t afford it.”
Thinking of Shen Lele giving up Tsinghua University for herself, Xu Yiyang always felt guilty towards her parents.
After all, what she gave up was the highest university in the country, a place that countless students dream of.
I lent her money to buy the house just to relieve the guilt in my heart.
Saying that, Xu Yiyang looked at Shen Lele and said: "Lele's coming to Zhonghai was indeed beyond my expectation. At first, I thought it might be a big loss for her to give up Tsinghua, but then I felt that, This incident is not necessarily a loss. Now I have a bit of a foundation and have gone a little farther than others. Lele happens to be around, so when I make some plans, I can also help her. Make plans.”
Xu Yiyang spoke the truth, and the family of three could indeed feel his sincerity.
Shen Lele went to Zhonghai because of Xu Yiyang. Xu Yiyang knew this very well, and Shen Lele's parents knew it very well. Xu Yiyang was not prepared to hide this key point, but he did omit it. Emotional issues between men and women were not discussed.
From a purely good friend's point of view, Xu Yiyang is now in the lead. If Shen Lele was in Yanjing, he might not be able to remember to help her, or even if he wanted to, he would be unable to do so. But Shen Lele is by his side, just like her. He was in the same school and in the same class, so of course he had to give her a hand.
Shen Lele's parents also nodded, feeling that Xu Yiyang was indeed telling the truth.
Xu Yiyang continued: "China Shipping's future development potential is definitely huge and will not be worse than that of Yanjing. Therefore, there are some basics. The earlier we start, the more advantage we will get. The later we start, the higher the cost will naturally be."
"I bought the house in Zhonghai Yujing during my summer vacation. At that time, I thought this community was very good. The house is good, the location is good, the layout is good, and the public facilities of the community are also very good. Uncles and aunts can go and check it out when they have time. , the distance between buildings in this community, in our Yingzhou, can fit at least one building in the middle. The green area of the community is also larger than the building area. Moreover, as soon as the car enters the gate of the community, it goes directly underground, and the people and vehicles on the ground are diverted. Safe and comfortable, a house like this will have a higher value-added space in the future than other communities, so even if it is a little more expensive, it is still worth the money;"
"Moreover, the biggest advantage now is that buying a house will give you a blue-stamped household registration. I have inquired about it, and the policy of converting the blue-stamped household registration into a regular one will definitely be provided, and it will not take long. It will be one or two years, or at most three or four years. But In a few years, or even more than ten years, the value of a household registration may exceed the one million yuan spent to buy a house."
"So, in my opinion, as Lele's good friend, I can't say anything to let her miss this opportunity."
Xu Yiyang kept talking, and Shen Lele's parents listened carefully.
When he said this, Xu Yiyang glanced at Shen Lele and saw her eyes were red, so he smiled slightly and said: "Actually, to be honest with you, I forced Lele to buy the house because she was not mature enough. , I can’t see the long-term strategic significance of this matter, and I don’t want to take it life or death. My uncle and aunt are all people who have been through it, and they must know more than she does.”
Shen Lele's parents nodded slightly. They indeed understood the long-term strategic significance better than Shen Lele.
Xu Yiyang said again at this time: "So, you two don't need to thank me for the house, and you don't need to think about paying me back. Lele can thank me, and Lele must pay me back the money, and it's with Just pay me back a part of the Internet cafe's income. If you believe in my ability to make money, don't think that this income is not enough to repay the house payment."
