The conversation at the dining table continued.
Chen Huiyan ate fruit and looked at the best friend in front of her whom she could not define. "You had a heated argument with the student union at the university democratic review meeting. You made them speechless and almost had a heart attack. After that, you became a person that no one dared to mess with in the school. Your reputation spread outside, so that many people from other schools came to see you from afar and wanted to be pen pals with you. Your mailbox was filled with letters, but you still kept to yourself... In order to criticize blindly going abroad, you took the highest IELTS score in the school that year, but you didn't choose any foreign universities..."
"People like you... hate their own kind the most."
Chen Huiyan stretched out a finger and pointed at her, "So you don't like him, just like a lion doesn't want to see another beast that can challenge itself in its own forest. Even if it's a small beast, when you see how agile he walks and the sharpness of his claws and fangs, you will find it very dazzling."
Mother Jiang said, "It's quite interesting to speculate."
Chen Huiyan said, "You told me at the beginning that if Hong Shao hadn't tried, she would always be missing something at her age, so you gave her freedom and you didn't mind her experiencing some of the beautiful emotions that she should have at this age."
“That’s what I’m saying now.”
Chen Huiyan smiled, "You can say that because you feel that everything is under your control. You actually care about it, so you openly invited him to come here today, hoping that he would... back off."
"You want to kill his spirit and let him know that his little cleverness is actually nothing. You also want him to know the distance between himself and truly outstanding people, so that he will feel awe in his heart and take the initiative to draw a red line." Chen Huiyan said, "This is your real purpose."
"You're exaggerating." Jiang Yueqin said, "More importantly, of course, I want to see what kind of friends Hong Shao is around. People who seem reliable may not be truly reliable, just like a person who seems frugal may just be because he has never experienced what it's like to be a rich man. Some people are very loyal, but the price of betrayal may not be enough. A person seems to be very upright, but it does not mean that he will not go along with the changes in the environment. Some people commit crimes and say that they should have been good people, but they are just desperate in this world, but there are still many people who have not become bad when the world is bad. Why do you have to fall into desperation when you are easy to change your nature? In this way, when the world is bad, you may be a murderer or a thief, and when the world is good, you may become a corrupt official who is rich and unkind."
“So, a person’s true nature is more important than the qualities they display on the surface.”
Chen Huiyan understood what Jiang Hongshao's mother wanted to do. Perhaps it was to suppress Cheng Ran's edge. Secondly, she actually wanted to see what kind of personality Cheng Ran, who was very close to Jiang Hongshao, had.
In a specific environment, a person's true nature may be truly brought out.
Chen Huiyan smiled.
Quite interesting.
…
Of course, guests arrived one after another, and Jiang Yueqin and Li Jingping received them. Chen Huiyan also met the outstanding descendants of the guests invited by Jiang Yueqin. They were three young people who stood out at first glance. Luo Kang's grandson Luo Qin was sunny and the tallest, estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall. Because of his long-term fitness there, his body was very symmetrical and his face was angular. He might be qualified to be a star. He must be the kind of person who is very popular with women. At this time, he waved and greeted the people in the room, very easily. Li Jingping nodded, "Mr. Luo has a good grandson."
Gao Xiuxian's son Gao Lin was wearing a casual suit, looking the most "Western". It was obvious that Gao Xiuxian was very proud of his son. He came from the education system and had served as the dean of Chengdu Railway College. In fact, both he and his son Gao Lin were fine. Chen Huiyan just couldn't stand his wife Yuan Hui, who always talked about her son Gao Lin. Although she didn't praise him openly, nine out of ten sentences showed that her child was unusual. This time, too, as soon as they met, she talked about what specialties Gao Lin had brought back to them, and what kind of coats he had bought for his work-study program... She would feel comfortable only when people kept saying that her child was excellent.
The two are studying abroad. At first glance, Wei Zhonghong's son Wei Weiqing seems to be a little inferior, but in fact he is the strongest among the three academically. He is only a junior, and now the research group he is working on with his supervisor has won the first prize of Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award and the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award. This introduction makes people look at this gentle young man in a red checkered shirt and glasses in a different light.
Luo Qin and Gao Lin nodded to Wei Weiqing. It was obvious that they had known each other before. Luo Kang even came over to shake hands with him and patted his shoulder. "I know your teacher, Yu Guozhong. He is very famous in the field of electronic information. But you are so young and you are doing research with him. It shows that you have something extraordinary. The young are really formidable!"
Wei Weiqing was very modest. "It was the teachers who guided me, and I also had senior students. I just followed them and learned..."
"I followed your studies and was included in the research group in my third year. That shows you are indispensable!"
After the greetings, everyone went to the courtyard to eat fruit, drink tea and chat. After all, for some people, when they reach a certain age, the development of their offspring becomes the focus of their lives. Not to mention the struggle in front of them is to provide their offspring with an environment where they can be sheltered from the wind and rain and have no worries about food and clothing. Some people in the officialdom have no worries about food and clothing, and have experienced many tests, but in the end, they lose their integrity, which is nothing more than paving a way for their offspring. After all, for many people, having their own children is more comfortable than being praised by others. Luo Qin, Gao Lin and Wei Weiqing naturally became the center of attention among this group of adults.
As the host, Jiang Hongshao also greeted the guests and naturally received a lot of compliments. As for Luo Qin, Gao Lin and Wei Weiqing, they were not familiar with Jiang Hongshao. This was because she had studied and lived in Shanhai before, and Rongcheng was not her focus. At most, she had a good relationship with people like Luo Wei who were of the same age as her. Luo Qin, Gao Lin and Wei Weiqing were all a few years older than her.
But they had all heard that the three of them and Jiang Hongshao were very generous and treated her like a little sister. After hearing Jiang Hongshao say "Brother Luo Qin" with a smile, Luo Qin felt comfortable all over as he sat in the courtyard, and even regretted being born a few years earlier.
He looked at Gao Lin and Wei Weiqing. The two of them were chatting and laughing with everyone, but they would occasionally glance at Jiang Hongshao who was moving around in the house through the glass doors and windows of the courtyard. Gao Lin knew how to conceal this, but Wei Weiqing didn't have much intention in this regard, so he showed it a little more obviously.
Luo Qin laughed in his heart. There were many good-looking female students in school who would look at them with admiration. However, today, with their elders present, the three of them were a little reserved.
Luo Qin saw Jiang Hongshao in the room making a phone call. Perhaps some friends were coming over, so she told them her location. Finally, she said into the phone, "I'll come over and pick you up at the gate." Then she changed her shoes and went out.
…
I talked to Yu Xiao on the phone last night. When I mentioned that I was going to Jiang Hongshao's house today, Yu Xiao said on the other end, "Damn, I haven't seen Lao Jiang for a long time. I want to go too..."
But after a pause, Yu Xiao continued, "You said it was her mother's side this time... By the way, after you and Lao Jiang saved Xie Feibai's father, have you met her mother?"
Cheng Ran said, "That's the problem. I haven't seen it yet."
"His father always has a dark face towards you... Who knows how big of a prejudice her mother has against you. This is a Hongmen Banquet. What is Lao Jiang thinking? He is usually quite smart..."
Cheng Ran said, "I guess this is a political task that her mother forced upon her."
"Then you came prepared. But then again, this kind of thing can be avoided on the first day but not on the fifteenth day. The thing with you has already happened. No matter how prejudiced their family is against you, it is impossible for them to never see each other again, especially since you and Lao Jiang met again in No. 10 Middle School. You can't avoid it... Anyway, you have to take this knife. Who told you to be brave and righteous with the girl? But if you are a little more open-minded, you will understand that there was no other way at that time because of the emergency. Thinking of this, I have confidence in you. It doesn't matter. I believe Lao Jiang's parents will not embarrass you. Besides, who are you... Look at your online name, Cheng Dachui! You are a legend in No. 1 Middle School... Let mortals know your power..."
Thinking of the conversation last night, Cheng Ran couldn't help but smile. He had an explosion in the last stage of junior high school, from the middle and lower grades to the first in the class, and rushed directly into the high school department of No. 1 Middle School, drawing an unprecedented cultural wall. He was the key figure in solving the June 2nd case, and he transferred directly from No. 1 Middle School to Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School. Cheng Feiyang's Fulong Company is now very famous in the province. If there are similar questions like asking you who you think is the lucky fish around you in the future, Yu Xiao can definitely write an article in detail to introduce him, who once mingled with him at the bottom of the academic world in the dark, and finally existed like an atomic bomb in the sky.
Just by forwarding this Koi Halo, you can dominate the circle of friends.
Yesterday, Cheng Ran told Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan that Jiang Hongshao's family was having a dinner party and he would be going there today. The two of them just nodded routinely and said something like "I won't wait for you for dinner that afternoon". Then Cheng Feiyang asked Cheng Ran to say hello to Jiang Hongshao's father for him.
Fulong Company started from Shanhai, and Cheng Feiyang was very grateful for the resources and channels provided by Li Jingping. Xu Lan suddenly told Cheng Ran that they should go to Rongcheng Department Store and buy the clothes they saw last time.
Last week, Xu Lan took Cheng Ran shopping. When they were at the department store, Xu Lan said she wanted to buy clothes for Cheng Ran. Cheng Ran looked at a piece of clothing, but the price tag was over 1,700 yuan. It was actually a domestic brand with a high-sounding foreign name. It was advertised loudly at the municipal level and sold at a very high price, attracting some of the new rich. Cheng Ran went up to take a look because he thought the style was good, but of course he didn't buy it in the end. Xu Lan actually thought the price was too high at the time. Although her family is rich now, she can still afford clothes at this price. However, she came from an ordinary family after all, and she didn't have this consumption concept for a while.
So when Xu Lan heard that Cheng Ran was going to visit Jiang Hongshao's house, she regretted it for a moment and thought that she should have bought that piece of clothing for her son at that time.
