Chapter 134 Inflated ambition and rejection(1/3)
Beijing.
Two days later, in the evening.
Chen Yu brought Jiang Wenwen to the Xu family for the first time.
Not long ago, he was dating Jiang Wenwen and was about to take her to try the stone pot fish near her school when he suddenly received a call from the Xu family's aunt.
On the phone, Aunt Xu warmly invited him to their home, saying that Uncle Xu had just spared time today and wanted to host a banquet at home to thank him for saving their son Xu Tianxing.
At that time, Chen Yu, who was holding Jiang Wenwen's slender waist while walking on the road, hesitated.
Because Xu Tianxing's mother invited him to go over now, but he had just brought Jiang Wenwen out of school. He couldn't just let her go back by herself before she went to eat the stone pot fish, right?
On the phone, he awkwardly said that he was dating his girlfriend.
Aunt Xu's family was easy to talk to, and she immediately said cheerfully that it was okay, and she just brought her girlfriend over to show them.
Chen Yu thought for a while and then agreed.
The Xu family immediately sent a car to pick them up.
While waiting for the car to pick her up, Jiang Wenwen asked Chen Yu many questions out of curiosity.
Chen Yu didn't hide anything, and simply told her about how he rescued a boy who fell into the water in Houhai two days ago.
And just now it was the boy's mother who called and invited him to their home for dinner to express her gratitude.
At first, Jiang Wenwen frowned.
She scolded him for not going into the water to save people easily, it was too dangerous.
She was also a little reluctant that he had just agreed to take her to the boy's house for dinner without asking her opinion. She would rather go eat stone pot fish with Chen Yu and enjoy the world of two people.
Seeing her losing her temper and looking ugly, Chen Yu had no choice but to reveal that the boy Xu Tianxing's parents seemed to be extraordinary people. When he first met at the police station two days ago, he felt that both the couple were either rich or noble.
When Jiang Wenwen heard what he said, her face looked much better, but she was still a little doubtful.
Until then, she was held by Chen Yu, and led by Uncle Xu's secretary Zhang Kai, she walked into the door of Xu's house. When she saw Xu Youwen who was placing dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, she immediately believed Chen Yu.
What he said - Xu Tianxing's parents don't look like ordinary people.
It's true that Xu Youwen's official aura is too strong.
Average black trousers, white shirt, silver-rimmed glasses...
By the way, there are also common things like back of head, big face, big ears, big belly...etc. that are common in official circles.
At this time, if someone told her that this middle-aged man with big ears was not an official, she would never believe it.
"Brother Chen? Brother Chen!"
Xu Tianxing, who was sitting in the living room watching cartoons, heard the door knock and turned his head. When he saw Chen Yu, his eyes lit up and he immediately got up and ran towards this side with excitement on his face.
Not long after, Jiang Wenwen finally met the hostess of the Xu family - Pan Yafei.
This family of three was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Chen Yu and Jiang Wenwen.
Soon they were served to the table for dinner.
Xu Youwen and Pan Yafei both raised their glasses to Chen Yu many times, and also to Jiang Wenwen.
Secretary Zhang Kai was by his side. He didn't talk much, but he was very discerning. He took care of everyone's dining experience at the table. From time to time, he would pick up dishes for Xu Youwen and Xu Tianxing, get drinks, etc.
Everyone chatted while eating. Xu Youwen talked a little less than his wife Pan Yafei, and mainly listened to what Pan Yafei said.
But Xu Youwen made a proposal that surprised everyone during the dinner.
"Tianxing, your life was saved by your brother Chen. If it weren't for your brother Chen, no one would have noticed you fell into the water that day, including your eldest cousin. It just so happens that I haven't been listening to you these past two days. You want to learn from your brother Chen?"
Swimming? Like this! How about you go over and toast your brother Chen with a drink and recognize him as your eldest brother. From now on, you will be brothers. Are you willing?"
"this?"
Chen Yu was shocked.
Pan Yafei, Zhang Kai, Jiang Wenwen and others were also surprised.
Xu Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a happy face. Before anyone else could react, he trotted up to Chen Yu and raised the drink in his hand. When he was about to toast, he suddenly noticed that he was holding a drink, so,
He drank it in one gulp, then grabbed the wine bottle on the table and poured himself some wine.
At this time, Pan Yafei reacted, chuckled and praised: "Not bad! Tianxing, although your brother Chen is not as good as you, he was admitted to Shuimu University on his own merit. You know Shuimu University. I think you recognize it today."
If you accept Brother Chen as your brother, you will use him as your role model in the future, okay?"
After hearing this, 8-year-old Xu Tianxing agreed, "Okay, Mom! Hey, I'm going to have a brother soon, that's great!"
In this way, Chen Yu became Xu Tianxing's brother.
…
It's past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Wenwen, who had already returned to the school dormitory, lay on the bed after washing herself, still thinking about what she saw and heard at Xu's house tonight.
Her intuition told her that Uncle Xu's identity should be very unusual.
Have a meal at home and have your own secretary waiting for you?
At this time, she still didn't know Xu Youwen's name, she only knew that she called him Uncle Xu like Chen Yu.
May?
Are there any high-ranking officials named Xu in the capital?
A sudden thought occurred in her heart, and she immediately used her mobile phone to search for the list of city leaders in the capital.
Soon, her delicate hand holding the phone trembled.
The phone almost fell from my hand.
Then her eyes lit up.
Chen Yu is now the sworn elder brother of Xu Tianxing, almost equal to the godson of Xu Youwen. This status is suddenly different!
If this relationship could last forever, would she still have to worry about Chen Yu's future?
Just like the advertising slogan for a certain learning machine: Mom no longer has to worry about my studies.
She no longer has to worry about Chen Yu's future.
…
The peaceful time passes by like water.
18-year-old Chen Yu still schedules his time to a full schedule every day.
Go to class, review high school courses, and recite English words in your mind while squatting every morning...
I go to the school martial arts club every evening and practice Baguazhang with my senior sister Tang Hongjie.
The video call time with Jiang Wenwen every night is on his schedule, and the length of each video call is limited.
Of course, he never let Jiang Wenwen know about this time limit.
Otherwise, he estimated that she would explode.
In such peaceful days, he video calls Jiang Wenwen every day, not only to maintain his relationship with her, but also to relax himself from the fatigue of studying for a day, and at the same time, it is a bit like completing a fixed small task every day.
He can feel himself making progress every day.
Now, he has successively rescued Hou Guoqing, an old man who suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and Xu Tianxing, a boy who fell into the water, allowing him to establish friendship between the Hou family and the Xu family.
Whether it is the Hou family or the Xu family, when he is a guest, he can feel that something is special.
He also believed that since the 38-year-old himself specifically sent a message asking him to save those two people, then...the identities and backgrounds of those two people must be extraordinary.
In other words, he is convinced that he now has the support or protection of noble people.
The feeling that there was someone behind him gave him greater expectations, or ambitions, for the future.
He began to be unwilling to be a wealthy idler or an ordinary small boss after graduating from college.
He began to wonder what he could do in the future?
How can I do something big?
He refuses to be mediocre.
Just like a sentence I learned before says: Live as a hero, die as a ghost!
He thought he had the confidence to give it a try.
Not only because he now has the support of noble people, but also because of his current status as a student at Shuimu University, his continuously improving physical fitness due to practicing Baguazhang, and the steady stream of funds he has earned in the stock market, etc.
He summed it up for himself. Today, he already has the support of noble people, a prestigious school status, good health, and increasing start-up funds.
With so many conditions at the same time, it would be a pity for him not to do something.
As for what to do specifically?
On a recent full moon night, he sent a text message to his 38-year-old self, hoping that his 38-year-old self could reveal some relevant information about the future to him.
For example, tell him which industries will be very profitable in the next 20 years?
To be continued...
