Lin Xiaojuan called to say that she had asked for leave and asked me how the situation was here. I told her that she could not ask for leave all day long. She had a class in the morning and could only leave after the lecture. She asked her to take her parents to play in the morning and I would go there at noon. Find them.

Back to Mr. Shen's office, Mr. Shen was also on the phone. I sat and waited for a minute or two. Mr. Shen gestured to me to go and do my work first. As soon as I walked out of the office, Finance Ayue called me from behind.

I stood in the corridor outside Mr. Shen's office and looked back at her, thinking that something was wrong with her, but she hesitated for a long time and said a word that had no beginning or end.

"It is not necessary for a man to buy a house to get married. A woman can also buy a house."

I didn’t know what she meant, so I turned around and walked away, replying that I had to find a woman who could buy a house.

She said behind her back that my cousin has a house.

I stopped again, "It's great that your cousin has a house, isn't it? She deliberately hurt me because she saw that I couldn't afford a house."

Ah Yue leaned against the door frame of Mr. Shen's office and said, I mean, starting a family and starting a business can be done together, for example, marrying my cousin.

I said, if you are arranging for your cousin's marriage, is it because your cousin is ugly?

Ah Yue said, nonsense, my cousin is not far away from the moon.

I said, is that the closed moon in the movie "Xingye" - Ruhua? Otherwise, why are you so concerned about your cousin's affairs?

Ah Yue said, please be serious, my cousin looks a lot like me - do you think I look good?

I said, Ah Yue, please stop teasing me. We men are upright, how can we rely on women? If this is the case, then should I still find a woman to support me?

Ah Yue said, okay, let my cousin raise you.

I laughed, I’m not kidding you, I’m going to give a lecture with the marketing department, I’m late and I’ll take a taxi later.

Ah Yue shouted from behind, "Don't leave in a hurry, my cousin will support you..."

I didn't respond to her, so I met up with colleagues from the marketing department, and then followed the team to the training site at a hotel at Huanggang Port, where I gave a class to a group of elderly CEOs, "The CEO's Untold Secrets."

This is the company's classic course. I still quoted classics and shared some common examples with them, and also interspersed some current hot topics, such as Super Girl Li Yuchun winning the championship, World of Warcraft landing in the mainland, etc. What do these mean? It shows that the world is changing, aesthetics are changing, and times are changing, so as presidents, our management must also change.

After a class, I walked onto the podium amidst applause and left amidst applause.

I walked out of the hotel and took a taxi on the roadside.

After getting into the taxi, I told the taxi driver to drive to Baishizhou, and then took out my mobile phone to call Lin Xiaojuan.

At that time, unlike today, mobile phones did not have any special entertainment functions, and I did not develop the habit of walking with my head down while playing with my mobile phone.

As time goes by, my neck becomes more and more curved.

When I turned on my phone, I saw a QQ message prompt. I clicked on it and saw that there were still a lot of messages from yesterday's university group that I had not read. My high school classmate Zheng Jian told me that he had been fired by the insurance company again, and told me that if he told me, the money would be paid back on time.

Then he clicked on the message sent by the finance girl Ah Yue.

The time shows that it was more than half an hour ago, and I was giving a lecture at that time.

"Teacher Gou, do you want to show you my cousin's photo?"

I thought about it and replied: "No need, right?"

She immediately replied: "Let's take a look!"

It will come back in seconds. This was a very popular saying at that time.

I said: "Oh, you replied instantly, have you been lying in wait?"

She replied with a smiley face.

Then, without my consent, he said, "I sent it over."

Then a photo was sent. It buffered for a few seconds and became clear. I clicked on it and saw that it was Ah Yue herself, just dressed differently from usual.

I said: "Isn't this you?"

She sent a shy look, then another message.

"Hey, Teacher Gou is so smart, this is me."

I replied: "Aren't you talking about my cousin's photo? I'm really curious. Please send it to me for a look."

She quickly replied: "Where is the cousin? In fact, it is me."

If I didn't know what she was thinking at this time, then I would be a fool. I'm not like Guo Jing in the TV series.

I remembered what the finance sister said when I first dealt with her, "Be careful she is your accident."

Mamma Mia, this guy Ah Yue actually attacked me, what's going on in this society? Lin Fenqiang, the creative director of Xiaojuan Company, confessed to Lin Xiaojuan, our finance Ah Yue took the initiative to show her kindness. Is it now fashionable to pursue lovers of the opposite sex?

Is this world really changing and becoming more and more unfamiliar, as I said in my lecture just now?

I didn't reply to Ah Yue, so I called Xiaojuan.

"I'm back now. I should be at Baishizhou in about 20 minutes. Where are you going?"

"We are in Splendid China, come quickly." Xiaojuan said at the other end.

"good."

"Master, I will go to Splendid China."

"Okay."

Lin Xiaojuan called again.

"Hey, what's up?"

"My father said he has something to tell you."

That day, Father Lin asked me on the phone to pick up my mother and play together. I didn’t dare to ask on the phone whether it was Lin Xiaojuan who told them or what.

I think since they have spoken out, they should meet with my mother first and then talk about it.

I called my mother, picked her up at Baishizhou, and got off at Splendid China Folk Village.

I took my mother to meet Father Lin and Mother Lin with a feeling of trepidation. My mother was even more nervous than I was. She kept asking me along the way if the clothes I just changed were okay.

I said they are choosing a son-in-law, not you. Why are you nervous?

My mother asked me again why she suddenly asked me to meet again.

I said, what's wrong? If your in-laws don't see you, you also have questions. When they see you, you also have questions. Why do you have a hundred thousand questions?

My mother said that I am a little confused about what people in this city do.

I said, if you can't feel it clearly, don't touch it. Be careful if you touch the thorn and wait to see what happens.

After the meeting, my mother took the initiative to say hello to Father Lin and Mother Lin. The three parents stood together and kept repeating, "Hello, hello, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm so happy to meet you," and so on.

I pulled Lin Xiaojuan aside and asked her what was going on.

She said that she thought she could hide it, but in fact, her mother became suspicious yesterday, saying that there was no smell of fireworks in the kitchen of the newly rented house, and there were no traces of life in the room. The two people kept asking her and she got rid of everything.

I said it's okay, I'll be honest, and people felt more relaxed. Let's go see what the three of them can do with each other.

Lin Xiaojuan and I approached the three of them, and my mother kept mumbling, "Oh, I'm really embarrassed that I didn't bring anything with me when we first met." She also said that she should have taken me to visit their home.

Father Lin said it was okay. Things are different now. Young people are working outside. Shandong and Hunan are so far apart, so it was fate to meet in Shenzhen.

Mother Lin said, we are also embarrassed. The two young men hid this from us. We were just visiting the garden, and Xiaojuan only said it. We are really embarrassed.

The first meeting started in harmony. Father Lin and mother Lin were very enthusiastic and took my mother to visit some of the scenic spots they had visited again.

Lin Xiaojuan and I basically followed the three of them.

It's really strange that my mother, a rural woman, could keep chatting with Lin Xiaojuan's parents all the way.

Xiaojuan said she couldn't tell, but Auntie was very good at talking.

I said, if you give her a bag of melon seeds, she can chat until dark. If there are no sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds will do.

Xiaojuan said, did you inherit your eloquence from your mother?

I said that's not the case. I inherited it from my dad and I look like my dad. They say that a son looks more like his mother, but I look more like my dad. It's a pity. It would be great if my dad could come with us today.

.

Xiaojuan said, maybe your uncle followed your aunt to Shenzhen. Look, he might be standing next to you.

I said you are really scaring yourself, aren't you?

Xiaojuan said that I am not afraid. When I see him, I will ask him to educate you. You are so inconsiderate sometimes.

I said no more, no more, this time your parents want to see my mother, maybe they have made some decision.

I didn't tell Lin Xiaojuan that I overheard her father and mother chatting yesterday.

Lin Xiaojuan said she didn't know either. She felt Jiang was really old and thought she was smart, but her parents found out and she didn't know what to do next.

I said, take it one step at a time, maybe your father will make a plan for us to buy a house, let's go, we will follow.

The two of us followed behind, and the three of them were in front. The two of them were like little troublemakers who wanted to do bad things. They kept discussing what we should do next along the way.

At about one o'clock, we left the park and went to find a restaurant on the street in Happy Valley to eat.

Because there are parents from both sides here, and this kind of parent meeting that should be serious and formal is now very casual in our situation, I don’t want to appear more informal, so I always try to be more serious and serious in my speech.

Halfway through the meal, my mother picked up a glass of boiled water and said she wanted to give Father Lin a glass of water.

My mother held the cup and said words of thanks in an emotional voice. She also said that it was a pity that my father passed away before I went to college, otherwise I would be very happy today, and Xiaojuan was a good girl.
