In this life, I will no longer be a scumbag to my childhood sweetheart. Chapter 261: Visiting Yan Qiuwen’s House
After staying at home for two nights, Su Zelin ran to Lin'an again.
First, let’s hold the annual meeting.
By opening up the market in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu regions, the company's personnel structure has become larger, and the scale and budget of the second annual meeting of the new century have been raised to a higher level. Together with all the expenses such as hotel contracting, year-end bonuses, and lottery draws, enough expenses have been spent.
One million.
Two groups of special guests also came to this annual meeting.
The first group was Lao Ma and several senior Ahri executives.
New Century and Jindao, who signed long-term contracts, are already long-term partners and allies. The relationship between the two parties is good. Later, Su Zelin went to Ahli headquarters to have tea with Lao Ma twice, so he invited these people to support him. p>
The second batch of guests was something Su Zelin didn’t expect—Yangma’s interview team.
Of course, reports from the news media in Zhejiang Province, Shenghai and Suzhou are indispensable. However, Yangma’s initiative to send reporters to Lin’an to cover the New Century Annual Meeting was really an unexpected surprise. I wonder if it was the last time she cooperated with the gold rush.
Spending 5 million to buy value-added services attracted the attention of Yang Ma.
For those who intend to go nationwide and target domestic digital chain giants in the new century, Yangma’s interview is undoubtedly great and exciting news.
It means that the influence of this company has a tendency to radiate across the country. As long as it works hard in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu regions for another year and a half, it can impact the entire Xiaguo market.
After the Yangma news was broadcast, people complained that people in the new century are stupid and have too much money, and they have become rich and willful.
Then two days later, the three giants of the new century also became guests at the Gold Rush Annual Meeting. Ah Li reciprocated the favor. Lao Ma was really grateful to Su Zelin. The five million gave Gold Rush a good start in value-added services.
, the promotion went smoother than expected.
After attending the gold mining annual meeting and leaving the hotel, Su Zelin suddenly remembered something and took out his mobile phone to make a call: "Hey, Qiu Wen, I plan to visit your house tomorrow. Are your parents free?" This is the last official thing before the Chinese New Year. We have already made an appointment before, and we must go to Yan’s house, otherwise it will be rude.
"If you are free, come over."
Yan Qiuwen's calm voice, as emotionless as a biological girl, came from the microphone.
Her father is a scholar who doesn't like to socialize. Whenever he has free time, he studies knowledge or spends time with his family. Others understand the personality of the couple and usually rarely disturb them. Guests are very rare and they spend most of their time at home during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, then I'll go there tomorrow."
"Waiting for you!"
"..."
The next evening, lakeside villa.
When Su Zelin came to Yan's house based on the address Yan Qiuwen sent him, he was a little surprised.
Despite its inconspicuous appearance, this old villa is hidden among trees and is even a little hard to find.
However, considering the prime location on the edge of the West Lake, it is not an exaggeration to call it the courtyard house of Lin'an!
Yan Qiuwen's parents are both professors and scholars, and are affiliated with the Guo Jia Academy of Social Sciences. Su Zelin expected that her family conditions would be very good, but she did not expect to have such a residence.
It seems that these two couples had a good investment vision when they were young. Now, it is not easy to have money to buy such a lakeside villa. The location is unique and it is a Feng Shui treasure house. The owners are all wealthy people from Lin'an.
It is regarded as a status symbol. Unless it goes bankrupt, no one will be willing to change hands casually.
Su Zelin pressed the doorbell, and after a while, the red door opened.
The person who opened the door was Yan Qiuwen. The Yan family did not hire any servants, so they lived here as a family of three.
The cold wind in the twelfth lunar month was biting, there was a lot of snow, and the temperature was a bit low. Today, Yan Qiuwen wore a cloak-like white fox fur shawl hooded coat. The shape was slightly retro, but it matched her temperament very well.
This style of clothes appears on many women in costume dramas, but it is a big test for the actors' appearance, figure and temperament.
If you can't hold it, you will look like a nouveau riche.
When you hold it, it's very magical. For example, Yan Qiuwen is now wearing a simple and elegant ancient-style slanted bangs braid, which makes Su Zelin, who has seen countless women, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
This is the first time he has seen Qiu Wen's appearance. She really looks like the rich lady in the costume drama who comes from a scholarly family and is knowledgeable and courteous.
"Come in, my parents are waiting for you."
Yan Qiuwen closed the door, moved her lotus feet lightly, and led the way.
In the wind and snow, the lonely silhouette looks like an ethereal and cold spirit fox.
Su Zelin took the opportunity to observe the environment of the courtyard. There were no luxurious decorations, and there was even a small vegetable garden. It seemed that Yan Qiuwen's parents liked rural life very much.
This is the busiest place in Lin'an, but it is also the quietest place, like a paradise.
It feels a bit like being hidden in the city.
Entering the hall, you can smell the rich fragrance.
This kind of fragrance is very strange, as if the fragrance of honey, frankincense and flowers are blended together. It smells very good and makes my mood instantly calm.
Agarwood!
Su Zelin made a judgment quickly.
This is exactly the smell of agarwood, because he also played with this thing in his previous life.
Smoking agarwood has many functions. The first one is to purify indoor air and kill germs and viruses, especially during the flu season, which can prevent epidemics.
But the more important effect is to regulate emotions and soothe your mood.
The aroma released when it burns can directly affect the human central nervous system, control anxiety, calm the mind, deeply relax the brain, and improve sleep quality.
After Qin Shiqing left in his previous life and separated from his parents, Su Zelin was extremely depressed and irritable for a while, often suffering from insomnia at night. Later, he found this thing to calm his nerves, which was indeed somewhat useful.
Put an incense burner in the hall to incense the birds.
The furniture is all made of rosewood and is antique, and there are large characters hanging on the walls.
"Tranquility reaches far", "willingness", "pure heart to understand", "the best is like water", "tolerance is great, no deception is at ease"...
The large characters have different styles, but they all have distinctive characteristics. Some are elegant and free, some are flowing, or some are elegant and indifferent... At first glance, it is the hand of a famous artist.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Most of these scholars like calligraphy and painting. This time, Su Zelin also spent some money to find a calligraphy and painting by a famous local Lin'an artist as a gift for his visit, and he liked it.
After all, if you want to continue using someone else's daughter, you have to put in some effort to please the two elders of the Yan family.
Taking a step back, even if Yan Qiuwen really doesn't plan to stay after the internship, it would still be beneficial to have a relationship with highly respected people like her parents. After all, they are honorary members of the Academy of Social Sciences.
Father Yan does not look like an old scholar as expected. He is an elegant middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, and he looks very easy-going.
As for Yan's mother, Yan Qiuwen and her look similar, as if they were printed from the same mold, but compared to her daughter's aloofness, Yan's mother always has an indifferent smile on her face.
Time has not left many traces on this female professor, and not even a crow's foot can be seen in the corner of her eyes.
Yan Qiuwen and her mother stand together, and they look more like sisters.
The daughter looks mature and the mother looks young, shortening the age perception.
Some people are like this. They are more mature than their peers when they are young, but as they approach middle age, they look younger and younger. It seems that this mother and daughter are this type.
People often post short videos of distinguishing mother and daughter on Douyin. If Yan Qiuwen and her mother were shot together, many netizens would not be able to tell them apart, and there would be a lot of LSP comments below.
"Uncle, hello aunt!"
Arriving in front of the two of them, Su Zelin simply said hello.
Professors are too polite and can easily create distance.
I and Yan Qiuwen can be considered friends in any way, and it’s okay to call them uncle and aunt.
"Hello, young man, we have heard about you from Qiu Wen for a long time."
Yan Shiqian has a pleasant and authentic look.
Tian Jinqiong pointed to the chair opposite and said with a smile: "Please sit down, there is no need to be restrained, just treat it as your own home!"
"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"
After sitting down, Su Zelin presented the gift he brought.
The two of them accepted it without much refusal.
They are not pretentious people.
The gifts include tea and calligraphy.
If you want to give gifts to scholars, you can’t go wrong choosing these two things.
"The Taoist mind is as calm as the jade hidden in the mountains, and the taste of books is as clear as the water in which fish are raised. Good sentences and good calligraphy!"
When Yan Shiqian unfolded the calligraphy painting and took a look, he touched his palms and admired it.
It seems that of the two couples, he is the one who loves calligraphy and painting, and he asked Yan Qiuwen to hang it in the living room immediately.
Several people were chatting casually in the hall, and then Tian Jinqiong was surprised to find that this young man's true mental age was indeed over thirty-five, and he was more mature and calm than the mature men of this age.
His demeanor, movements, tone, and inadvertent little details when he spoke all reflected a lot of things, and he was surprisingly sophisticated and sophisticated.
Although he behaves very modestly, he still has the aura of a superior person. This is the kind of aura that is very successful in his career. He can see the mountains at a glance. It is like Shen Yue or Qian Yuan. It is not sharp but introverted. Low-key.
This is something Yan Qiuwen didn't see, but Tian Jinqiong saw it. After all, the Taoism is deeper, but it made Yan's mother very puzzled.
It stands to reason that although Su Zelin's career is developing quite well, it has not yet reached the point where he can see the small mountains at a glance. Moreover, people who have just succeeded will only show their sharpness, rather than being as powerful as Shen Yue or Qianyuan.
After drinking tea and chatting for a while, the mother and daughter went to cook.
Yan Shiqian asked: "Zelin, it seems that you are also a person who likes calligraphy. Can you write?"
"I know a little bit."
Su Zelin nodded.
"How about one?"
Yan Shiqian made suggestions.
"Okay, uncle, then I will show my shame."
This philosophy professor would not let himself write for no reason, there must be a deep meaning.
Following Yan Shiqian to the study, he found the four treasures of the study and spread a piece of rice paper on the table.
"Please!"
Father Yan pointed to the seat.
"Okay!"
Su Zelin didn't hesitate. After sitting down, he slightly adjusted his posture and held the pen with his right hand.
Yan Shiqian discovered at a glance that the gangster was not simple.
Writing calligraphy is a delicate job, and you can tell whether a person is a layman or an expert before writing, just like Kung Fu Tea.
Take the sitting posture as an example. The basic requirements are: head upright, body straight, arms open, and feet secure. It is simple to say, but not many people really want to do these eight words well.
Some people's sitting posture may appear to be standard at first glance, but their limbs are stiff and their movements are rigid. They cannot control their strength to send and receive freely, and it is impossible to write well.
Su Zelin is different. His posture is standard and at the same time he is also very relaxed and freehand.
However, Su Zelin's gestures when writing are not so standard.
Modern people more often use the five-finger pen-holding method, which is also the most widely used. All five fingers of the right hand are used, using the method of "pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing, and resisting" to hold the pen steadily, so that the fingers can perform their respective duties.<
/p>
Su Zelin's writing is very casual, but strangely it is not the casualness of a layman, but a bit of his own style.
The bastard has studied calligraphy. In his previous life, he studied under a well-known calligrapher for a period of time. When he first entered college, he showed off his self-introduction at the first class meeting of the financial management class, which left a deep impression on everyone. However, he used
It's just chalk. (See the previous article for details)
His calligrapher teacher also used the same hand gesture for writing. He explained this to Hunzi.
Su Dongpo, the great calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, used writing differently from ordinary people. At that time, someone pointed out that his writing method was wrong, but he said, "There is no fixed method for writing, it must be empty and broad."
This means that there is no need for a fixed standard method of holding a pen, as long as the palm of the hand is empty and the holding is flexible.
In short, it is based on the heart, whichever is comfortable, but it is easier to control the pen gestures. After all, everyone's fingers are different and their strength is also different, so sometimes it may be a better choice to hold the pen differently depending on the person.
Su Zelin's calligrapher teacher liked Su Dongpo very much and was influenced by him in many places.
After pondering for a while, Su Zelin dipped his toe in ink and started writing.
Not long after, there was one more word on the rice paper, and only one word - sea!
This is a word rich in philosophy.
The sea accepts all rivers, and it means being big when it is tolerant, which means having a broad mind and a broad ambition.
The ocean comes from drops of water, and a person's life must start with small things. Only by doing these small things well can he achieve greatness.
The sea is the source of life.
The ocean is changeable. It can be peaceful and peaceful, or it can be extremely powerful.
……
This word is also suitable for summarizing Su Zelin’s character.
He has great ambitions and is bold and bold in doing things. At the same time, he is bold and meticulous and pays attention to details.
He is always kind to his friends, but whoever angers him will see the gangster's thunderous methods.
In addition, he is also a sea king. If it sounds good, he is open to all rivers, but if he sounds bad, he is greedy.
"Good words!"
Yan Shiqian nodded.
There is unconcealable admiration in his eyes.
The font is elegant and unconstrained, leaving no trace to be found.
Su Zelin's calligraphy already has the style of a famous artist, but it's just not as popular as it used to be.
"Su Dongpo was a leader in the literary world in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty. He studied the strengths of various schools in the Jin, Tang and Five Dynasties, and then integrated the creative styles of famous writers such as Wang Sengqi, Xu Hao, Li Yong, Yan Zhenqing, and Yang Ningshi into his own style!"
Yan Shiqian's vision is quite vicious.
"I can't create anything with my writing", typical of Su Shi's calligraphy style.
Just like layman Dongpo's character and writings, he is free-spirited and eclectic.
"You learned the Su calligraphy very well, it's not bad!"
In this era, there are not many young people who are willing to learn calligraphy, and those who have this attainment are even rarer.
But Yan Shiqian was not too surprised. He learned from his daughter that Su Zelin was an omnivorous genius and could learn a little bit of everything.
After a pause, he continued: "Zelin, I have a few ironic words, I don't know whether I should say them or not!"
"Uncle, please advise!"
The bastard said quickly.
"Many people desperately long for wealth, love, and status. After going through all the hardships, they will feel extremely happy when they first have it, but slowly this happiness will continue to shrink. In economic terms, this is called 'marginal benefit' "Decreasing", wanting to get more is sometimes a good thing, but it may not be a good thing entirely!"
Yan Shiqian's words are serious and thoughtful.
The word "海" looks like a flying dragon and a phoenix flying freely, but in fact the writing style is more dignified, indicating that this young man is not as proud and unrestrained as he appears on the surface.
This may have something to do with his highly novel personality.
People with this kind of personality will have a colorful life, but they may also encounter obstacles that are difficult to overcome, usually in relationships.
"If I read it correctly, you have stood at a very important crossroads in your life and don't know how to choose."
Yan Shiqian's eyes were deep and he spoke slowly.
Su Zelin was shocked.
As expected of Qiu Wen’s father, what a master!
I couldn't help but feel a little more respect.
"That's right, uncle, I have times like this. Uncle, please give me some advice!"
Yan Shiqian said calmly: "Standing at the crossroads of life, a person may be hesitant and hesitant. The factors that affect our decision-making are often neither that things are too complicated nor that we have insufficient judgment, but that we have a clear understanding of what we should do. The choice I gave up was made with unwillingness, because I wanted both fish and bear’s paws!”
Su Zelin was convinced.
Compared with those so-called "philosophers", this is the real philosopher, and he sees too clearly!
After rebirth, I originally planned to give up Qin Shiqing and stay away from my childhood sweetheart. However, I was always unwilling to give up and kept making excuses for myself. In the end, I ended up with Qin Shiqing.
"Uncle, what do you think I should do?"
Su Zelin became more open-minded in asking for advice.
Yan Shiqian smiled slightly, picked up a pen and wrote two words on the rice paper - willing.
"I'm willing to..."
The bastard muttered.
Yan Shiqian put down his brush.
"Yes, life is like this, only when you give up can you gain!"
"The Diamond Sutra once said: 'If you don't get anything, you get it; if you get it, you get nothing!'"
"When you clench your hands, what you can grasp is limited; when you open your hands, the world is in your hands!"
"Of course, as long as we ask ourselves what can be given up and what cannot be given up, we will make our own conclusions!"
"..."
Throughout the night, even while eating, Su Zelin chewed and understood these two words.
Finally, my heart suddenly became enlightened.
Yes, I do need to give up some things in order to get more of what I want!
First of all, we can no longer spend as much as we did in our previous life.
Su Zelin was originally considering whether to get back all the lovers from his previous life after graduation. He struggled with this matter for a long time, but now he has made up his mind.
Some of the people I used to sleep with could still live well even if they never met me.
There is no need to flirt with these people, just let them go.
A person's time and energy are too limited, and there are dozens or twenty lovers around him. No matter how hard you work, no matter how smart you are to use the "cost-effective special moments", what each person can get is still very limited after all.< /p>
However, some girls who were ill-fated in their previous lives, or who would not be happy without them, cannot be given up.
For example, Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan, even if he deliberately alienated them, they would not be happy.
Song Yuwei and Nanazi are also people with bad luck. Intervening in their lives can make their fate less bumpy, so they can keep it in mind.
Being willing to give up varies from person to person. I am so handsome, smart and capable. Of course, I cannot use ordinary people as the standard. I can be a little greedy, but I can’t be too greedy.
I have almost enough girlfriends now, I can add one or two more as appropriate.
Another thing to give up is career.
Of course, not now.
At a certain appropriate time, you can retreat bravely.
In my previous life, half of my heart was focused on my career, and there was no end to making money.
Later, in fact, money has become a game of numbers. It no longer helps my quality of life, but it takes up too much time and energy.
baimengshu
It would actually be more meaningful if you use this time and energy to accompany your girlfriend.
When New Century becomes a well-known chain giant in the country and makes enough money, I will retreat to the world with a few girlfriends and enjoy their talents in playing, playing and singing when I have time. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
The gangster found that he benefited a lot from this conversation with Yan Shiqian, and even thought of the finale.
After dinner and staying at Yan's house for a while, Su Zelin left.
Yan Qiuwen sent him out of the door and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what did you and my dad talk about?"
While eating, she discovered that Su Zelin had been thinking, and then suddenly figured out something, like an enlightenment.
"Give it up!"
"Are you willing to give up?"
"That's right!"
Su Zelin grabbed his hand and then let go, beaming: "I now understand what needs to be grasped and what needs to be let go!"
"Oh, can you tell me about it?"
Yan Qiuwen asked with great interest.
"I can't say the specifics, it's private." Su Zelin coughed dryly: "In short, people can't be too greedy in order to get more of what they want most!"
"Oh!"
Don't be too greedy, that's just a little greedy.
Give up being the King of the Sea.
However... he's still a scumbag!
I just don’t plan to be so scumbag.
After saying goodbye to Yan Qiuwen, Su Zelin called Ding Linna after getting in the car.
Nanazi has to go home for the New Year tomorrow, so of course she has to have a good date tonight.
First, I went to see a movie. In the dark cinema, I sat in the couple's seat in the last row. It was very interesting, but there were always muffled hums around me. There seemed to be a lot of couples in the live broadcast.
Fortunately, the Internet is not yet developed, and there are not many mobile phones equipped with cameras, otherwise it would be easy to become a hot search topic.
After watching the movie, I went to eat some skewers and then headed back home.
Instead of going to the hotel, all the other girls in the class went home, and Nanazi was alone, so she went directly to her dormitory. Ding Linna seemed to like this kind of atmosphere, and of course the gangsters also liked it.
It was snowing a bit cold in the twelfth lunar month, so Luo Xi’s bedding was requisitioned again that night.
The next morning, before leaving school, Nanazi called her best friend.
"Axi, if I accidentally use your stuff, just for one night, you won't blame me, right?"
