The last time, Cheng Ran met Gao Xiuxian at Jiang Hongshao's house, but what surprised Cheng Ran was that the other party came over to say hello.
The people around Xie Feibai were stunned and looked at Cheng Ran in confusion.
From beginning to end, Gao Xiuxian looked at them with a smile.
At that time, Gao Xiuxian also looked at the whole audience with a smile, and didn't say much, but the first impression was definitely that he was kind and gentle to others. However, in fact, the other party might have been observing his every move, and at this time and in this situation, he came over and said such words...
Could it be that he was actually testing himself
But what can I try...
Jiang Shuji, Jiang Hongshao, Xie Feibai…
Understood.
Cheng Ran said, "I didn't say anything."
Gao Xiuxian smiled, "Look at things with a developmental perspective, and don't blindly worship foreign things. It's quite rare for someone of your age to have such insight. The poem you quoted is also good, 'I have stayed in Bingzhou for dozens of frosts, and my heart yearns for Xianyang day and night. I crossed the Sanggan River again for no reason, but Bingzhou seems like my hometown.' It speaks out the feelings of many people who have gone abroad."
After Gao Xiuxian finished speaking, he could see the expressions of Xie Feibai and others around Cheng Ran.
At this time, Xie Feibai and his companions seemed to be looking at Cheng Ran beside them without any unusualness, guessing what had happened to him. They did not make a fuss, nor did they feel surprised or concerned at all, nor did they feel that he had betrayed the level they were in and the ridicule of the world.
Gao Xiuxian knew about Xie Feibai. He had met him several times, all in the presence of his father Xie Houming. Xie Houming was naturally a Bodhisattva, but sometimes such a strong man would inevitably be evaluated and examined from various angles and directions. Like many other people, Gao Xiuxian had heard about some of his son's "deeds".
In fact, if Gao Xiuxian hadn't seen Xie Feibai, even if he had run into Cheng Ran, he might not have come over to say hello.
Knowing that this dissolute playboy Xie Feibai and Cheng Ran were actually together, Gao Xiuxian came over and said something that seemed to praise and commend him.
I want to see what this young man who looked so calm and composed at the Jiang family dinner that day is like in private
If the result of what he said just now was that Xie Feibai and others shouted or made a fuss, any slightest ridicule or mockery towards him would prove that he and Xie Feibai were birds of a feather. At least the way he pretended to be at Jiang Hongshao's house was inconsistent with his true self in private.
But... it didn't.
Xie Feibai and the gang looked at him with inquiry, admiration, and even a hint of mysticism and worship.
Cheng Ran turned around and explained to Xie Feibai, "Last time I went to Jiang Hongshao's house, I met this uncle. There were many people there and we chatted for a while."
Xie Feibai nodded. "You wrote the poem? You write poetry again?"
Gao Xiuxian grasped one word, "again".
Xie Feibai and Yu Xiao had a good relationship, so naturally he learned from Yu Xiao that he had written poems. Moreover, when they were both at Shanhai No. 1 Middle School, Xie Feibai also knew a lot about Cheng Ran's song writing. So he did not show anything strange, but instead felt it was natural to ask.
Cheng Ran smiled and said, "It's a quote from a poem by Liu Zao, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. Do you want me to tell you what this poem means?"
Xie Feibai said, "Climb away from me."
Gao Xiuxian was smiling and seemed to be watching the interaction of this group of young people with interest.
There was no surprise caused by the contrast, no astonishment brought about by the unexpected, and no hypocritical pretense, so in their eyes, he was usually like this, not a cunning person who said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
Therefore, there was naturally no possibility of reminding the Jiang family of their concerns about making inappropriate friends.
After Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai finished talking, they turned around and smiled, "Thank you Uncle Gao for your affirmation. We will continue to work hard in the future and try to learn from Brother Gao Lin."
Gao Xiuxian smiled and waved his hands, dispelling all doubts. At this time, he smiled at Cheng Ran in an equal manner, "Okay, I just ran into you and came over to say hello. You can play with your friends."
From beginning to end, he did not show any sign of recognizing Xie Feibai or wanting to talk to Xie Feibai. He did not reveal any intention of testing him at all.
However, when walking back, Gao Xiuxian suddenly stopped, thinking about the conversation between Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai just now. The information he wanted to get just now was known to him in one fell swoop, as if... he had already seen through his thoughts and deliberately guided them to be revealed.
Thinking of Cheng Ran's last smile, which not only hinted at him but also praised his son, he couldn't help but feel relieved...
This kid...
Gao Xiuxian walked back to the people who were waiting for him, and gave Cheng Ran a last meaningful look.
Not ordinary...
…
The natural thing to do when coming to Longquan Mountain is to eat. Roasted lamb leg is a specialty. Cheng Ran ate heartily at the banquet. However, he had to deal with various people who came to toast and offer drinks because of his mother. But it was all a matter of occasion. Cheng Ran was very familiar with it. He threw away his chopsticks, picked up the cup and greeted everyone with a smile. After drinking his thirsty drink, he sat down, picked up the chopsticks and continued to share the stewed pork elbow in front of him with Xie Feibai.
But at Cheng Ran's table with Xie Feibai, it was a little eye-catching in the eyes of many people who were in the same circle as Xie Feibai and Hu Ge before. Gao Xiuxian and Cheng Ran's jokes and conversations were seen by everyone. People like Gao Xiuxian have their own aura, and even if they meet younger people they know, their attitude is obvious at a glance.
But when facing Cheng Ran, the other party did not greet him as a younger generation. With his status, he deliberately walked over, and the attitude he showed was clearly that he was trying to strike up a conversation.
When people interact with each other, there are some expressions and gestures that can only be understood but not expressed in words. They can tell at a glance whether the two parties are equal, or even who is superior or inferior, or who is active or passive.
The deeper meaning was not clear, but at least Brother Hu and a group of people saw that Gao Xiuxian was talking to Cheng Ran in an almost equal manner. Whether the deeper reason behind it was respect for his father or the conversation that did not treat him as a child, it had already given a very realistic and direct answer that no one could refute.
If these young men with such identities and backgrounds and even personal abilities were to switch places with Cheng Ran, Gao Xiuxian would definitely not even look at them.
So Xie Feibai didn't bluff or brag. He wanted to be low-key, but in reality, his strength was there, so it was useless to be low-key.
Seeing everyone staring at the table of Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai, especially the group of people close to Xie Feibai who were talking and laughing over there, Brother Hu and the people who were close to him felt a little unhappy. They always felt that that social circle represented the advanced productive forces of social development, and they had fallen behind.
Falling behind feels like being abandoned by the whole world, and it’s hard to love again.
We are all young people. Even if some of them are cunning, their cunning actually doesn't mean much. When we feel unhappy, we can't help but talk about this and that, complain a few words, or show our attitude from time to time.
Brother Hu was also tired, and felt that he could no longer lead the team. It seemed that his prestige could not suppress the restless mood of this group of people. Suddenly, his heart became lively again...
Couldn't Cheng Ran's connections be used to set up a scheme
