Chapter XX: On Director Dorian(1/2)
Father Lin saw me and Lin Xiaojuan whispering to each other, so he asked what the two of you were whispering about.
I said, uncle, we were talking about where to go for fun in the afternoon.
Father Lin said, let’s go to Xiaojuan’s company in the afternoon to see what’s going on. I wonder if their leadership will let so many of us in.
I said, I have been in it before, let me in, it is a very big company, super impressive...
Lin Xiaojuan tugged on my clothes under the table, and I quickly shut up.
Because we had some travel plans in the afternoon, we didn’t have lunch very long, and we only had a small taste of wine to add to the fun.
While we were changing cups, my mother also drank a glass of beer. Father Lin quickly said that drinking mixed drinks would make you drunk, but my mother said it was okay. She had been drinking rice wine and corn wine since she was a child, so she couldn’t get drunk, so it was okay.
I also drank a few sips of white wine with him. I didn't dare to drink more for fear of getting drunk. Being drunk can easily make a joke. It would be a big deal if it ruined the plans of the prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Father Lin said that we should have a good drink for dinner one day, any white beer would be fine, and since we were going to play in the afternoon, we wouldn’t drink too much. He asked me if that was okay, and I nodded quickly, yes, that’s okay.
When checking out, Dad Lin rushed to pay the bill. I said, uncle, I should entertain you when you come to Shenzhen. We spent a long time paying the bill last night. Time is money. We grabbed it here and there. Unexpectedly, we thought we were doing Tai Chi.
, In fact, we are wasting time and money. Saving is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Uncle, please don’t waste it in the future, okay? Let me save.
Father Lin said that this kid always talks the same thing when buying a ticket, so let’s do what you want.
After the meal, Lin Xiaojuan couldn't resist her parents' request, so she called Director Lin and said that she would take her parents to the company to see if it was possible. Director Lin expressed her warm welcome on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaojuan privately said that I was heartless. Most men would only wish for their girlfriend to resign in this situation, but I was carefree.
I asked her, do you know what position I held when I was in high school?
She was confused by my sudden question and asked me, how could I ask this question?
I said, from the first year to the third year of high school, I was the class monitor and the class monitor of the second class. I am not from the first class (ordinary), I am from the second class!
Lin Xiaojuan said, you, after a few sips of wine, you revealed your true colors and started to show off again.
I said, it’s better to be more skinny.
Then we took the subway to Bamboo Forest, got off the bus and went straight to the theme. The five of us treated Lin Xiaojuan's workplace as a tourist attraction. After registering in the lobby, we took the elevator to the 17th floor.
My mother had never been to such a high-end office environment. When she entered the lobby of the building, she held my hand and said, "Son, it's so grand to work here. Next time, please take me to your company to have a look."
Dad Lin heard this and said, after reading this, let's go to Xiaogou's workplace and have a look. How about it?
Instead of asking me, Father Lin turned to ask Mother Lin.
Mother Lin said to ask Xiaogou not to cause trouble to others.
I hurriedly said that it was no trouble, but the place where I worked was not so luxurious and high-end.
When we arrived on the 17th floor, Lin Xiaojuan went to the front desk to register. The beautiful front desk girl greeted us warmly and asked us to wait for a while.
Who are you waiting for?
Waiting for the handsome and tall Director Lin, he arrived in a short while with a spring breeze on his face and a smile on his face. His white teeth could be seen from afar.
This old boy held my future father-in-law's hand with great enthusiasm. Mother Lin was very happy to see such a handsome and enthusiastic leader.
Everyone visited the company under the leadership of Director Lin. Lin Xiaojuan's company has five floors in the building, involving many departments of different brands, displaying different styles of clothes, different craftsmanship, processes, etc. There is also a store on one of the floors.
Nuoda's exhibition hall is full of modern technology. Lin Fenqiang told us that this is just an office area, and there are more displays in the factory.
Not to mention Father Lin and Mother Lin, even my mother started to say that this young man is not bad. However, if she knew that this good young man wanted to compete fairly with his son, she might jump up and use the peasant woman's unique skill of roaring like a lion and scolding him.
When I arrived at the exhibition hall, I felt tired from walking, so I saw a sofa, so I sat down to rest. Director Lin took my mother and the four of them and introduced them one by one.
Lin Xiaojuan came over and asked me, why are you acting like a bystander? Look how happy Director Lin is chatting with my parents. Are you not in a hurry?
I said, are you in a hurry?
She said, I am anxious for you.
I smiled and asked her, have you changed your gender or your career?
She said, what is the same as what, what did I change?
I laughed, you are saying that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry. My uncles and aunts are coming to visit your company. Do I want to make them unhappy because of my personal grudges? Let’s not talk about whether you will resign or not. My uncles and aunts are here.
Let's just make them happy. Don't you think my mother is happy? It's okay. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I can't avoid it. I remember when you proposed our relationship, I have never doubted your determination. You have to believe in yourself.
What about your vision, are you wavering when you choose me? You should work hard and be positive and sunny. Don't forget about being happy and happy all day long because of what others have done.
Lin Xiaojuan raised her mouth angrily and said, "You are good at everything, but this is the only thing you are not good at. Why can't you take charge of things and be more proactive?"
I nestled in the soft sofa and said, I like to be passive during the day. Oh, don't be angry. I'm afraid that I followed too closely, Mr. Lin, you, didn't introduce me so hard, or my uncle and aunt knew that we had a small conflict.
No, there's no need to complicate things. I'm actually very nervous inside. I'm also afraid that the guy surnamed Lin will do something bad. Okay, okay, don't be angry. At worst, I can take the initiative tonight.
Lin Xiaojuan dropped a hum and walked away to find her parents.
As soon as Lin Xiaojuan left, Director Lin came over again a few minutes later.
I saw him coming over and sitting across from me, looking at me, and I thought to myself, could this old boy also come to persuade me to go over and spend more time with my prospective parents-in-law?
The fox enters the village - he is not well-intentioned, let's see what he has to say.
Director Lin spoke, I saw Xiaojuan walked over unhappy, I wonder if I have a question?
I said, you just asked.
Director Lin didn't react for a while. After a few seconds, he spoke again. I wonder if I can ask two questions?
I said, you have to think carefully before speaking. In addition to the question just now, you have already asked two questions.
Director Lin didn't expect that I would not follow the routine, so he thought about it again. I have four questions in total. I wonder if I can ask them?
Let me answer, you have already asked all four questions.
Director Lin was confused, I obviously only asked three questions, why did I ask four questions?
I said, shouldn’t we finish asking now?
Director Lin looked at me, his eyes were really sincere. The two of us looked at each other like old friends for many years, but this man clearly wanted to steal my girlfriend.
I said, I won’t tease you anymore, just tell me.
Director Lin said, although you are not burly or tall, I have to admit that you do have an attractive charm, you also exude a sunny atmosphere, and you are also very humorous, which I cannot match.
I replied, Mr. Lin, you don’t need to put a high hat on me. I just graduated from an ordinary undergraduate degree, not 985 or 211, and was born in poverty. I also understand your situation. I was born overseas, returned to China when I was a child, graduated from a prestigious school, and returned from studying abroad.
Later, I became successful in my career. Compared with you, Mr. Lin, who is tall and handsome, I am self-aware.
Director Lin said, okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. I don’t understand. I challenged you, but you still made Lin Xiaojuan unhappy. Of course, she didn’t say it out loud, and she looked just a little bit unhappy, but everything
She has grown up since she was a child. If you can't give her a happy and happy life in the future, I will still say the same thing, accept my challenge, I can do better than you.
I looked at Lin Fenqiang and Director Lin, let alone this person, he really doesn’t seem to be a bad-hearted person.
Fortunately, I have received higher education and have watched many modern literature, film and television works. I know that young talents in developed countries in Europe and the United States sometimes pursue people like Director Lin. Even if they are trying to steal a red apricot, it is very romantic.
But I also love ancient poetry and books, and read the works of sages, so that I can distinguish right from wrong and know right from wrong.
This so-called romance is based on stealing other people's lives and things. You paint the barbaric surface with a hundred layers of sanctimony and righteousness, and peel off this hypocritical onion. The core is still shameless, but it is very shameless.
A gentleman is just gentle.
Just like many shameless foreign countries and organizations accusing China of not having democracy and human rights, just like the great powers that invaded China a hundred years ago, of course, the matter between Director Lin and I cannot rise to this level.
I smiled and said, Director Lin, where did you get the confidence to think that if you challenge me, you will win?
Director Lin looked at me and said seriously, I am not sure whether I will win, but I dare to challenge, and I am confident that I will make Lin Xiaojuan happy.
I sighed and said, maybe you not only like Lin Xiaojuan's beautiful appearance, but you also see Lin Xiaojuan's advantages. You think she is intellectual, generous, graceful and dignified, but you don't know that she is actually very traditional at heart. If you really want to
If you want to pursue her, you can only wait until I break up with her. If you challenge her at this time, you neither respect me nor her, nor yourself, do you understand?
Director Lin actually thought about what I said seriously.
After a few seconds, he said again, I have the right to pursue beautiful things. I hope you will stop being so indifferent. Your indifference only shows that you don't love Lin Xiaojuan enough. You must take my challenge seriously and not be blindly confident.
I replied lightly, "It's mine. No one can take it away. It's not mine, and I can't keep it. Love is not a transaction, and a lover is not an object. Director Lin, you are several years older than me. You should understand that love is
The most important thing is respect. I am not afraid of your challenge because I will not compete with you at all.
Director Lin looked at me and said, "Very good. Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, I appreciate your strong heart."
I was about to go back, and I also appreciate your shamelessness, when Father Lin called Mr. Lin over there.
Director Lin stood up and walked over.
The exhibition hall is not small. Lin’s parents, Lin Xiaojuan, and my mother stayed in a corner of the exhibition hall, discussing something unknown.
I sat on the sofa and thought, from the first time I met Director Lin to now, I am actually not so indifferent. It's just my personality, and I pretend to be strong to cover up my inner worries and uneasiness.
I stood up and looked at them standing there discussing something around a small platform nearly one meter square. I thought to myself, what can you watch for several minutes?
This is Director Lin's territory, so I'm shameless enough to take a look at it.
I walked over and took a closer look. On a small one-meter-square table, there was a large square glass box. The sides of the glass box were almost as long as the sides of the square table. There was a small house model in the glass box.
.
Director Lin is introducing it to everyone.
"This is a real estate project developed by a company recently invested by our group. This is a villa model..."
