Chapter 427 "Marriage" and "Divorce"
Chapter 427 "Marriage" and "Divorce"
School Beauty Song’s 19th birthday ended in this way: “It started with a dispute and ended in peace.”
After Chen finished taking the photos, he tactfully left 1806 and left the space to Sweet and her family of three.
Whether we quarrel or make up, I feel that it is no longer suitable for me to stay here.
It was almost two o'clock when Chen returned to his room. He turned on his mobile phone and many messages from Yu Xian immediately popped up on QQ.
11:20
Yu Baibai: Director Chen, I have taken a shower and gone to bed. Have you returned to the hotel?
12:10
Yu Baibai: I’m so sleepy. Is Director Chen still socializing?
01:06
Yu Baibai: Remember to tell me when you return to the hotel.
Chen Zhuo quickly replied: "I just got to the hotel room and was busy just now. Do you want to call?"
He was not lying. He had indeed just returned to the room and was indeed busy.
About half a minute later, just when Chen Zhuo thought Yu Xian had fallen asleep, his cell phone buzzed with a message.
Yu Baibai: No, I want to sleep.
The last "了" was typed as "le", which shows that the eyes are in a daze and cannot be opened.
Yu Xian must have persisted until now, and didn't feel relieved until she confirmed that her boyfriend had returned to the hotel. She probably fell asleep within seconds after sending this message.
Chen Zhuo sighed, feeling a little guilty for betraying someone's deep affection.
However, I hadn’t gotten over the shame towards the cos sister yet, and soon a message came from “the other side”.
Shi Wei: Are you asleep? I need to rest.
Chen Zhuo: I'm almost there. Are uncle and auntie resting too?
Shi Wei: Mom will sleep here with me tonight.
Chen Zhuo was about to reply, "Are you on guard against me?"
Later, worried that Professor Lu might accidentally see it, he changed it to "When was the last time you and your daughter slept in the same bed?"
Shi Wei: It seemed like there was a time when my whole family went out for a trip in junior high school.
Chen Zhuo: That is a very distant memory. Did Professor Lu ever pull you aside to talk about his true feelings?
Shi Wei: No, she asked me what happened when I arrived in Shanghai and was taking a walk.
Chen Zhuo: Hhh, I guess you’re still worried that I did something to you. I remember that we didn’t do that, right?
Shi Wei: Good night, you should go to bed early too.
"Hehe~"
Chen Zhuo lay on the bed and laughed foolishly. If it was Yu Xian, she would definitely say, "Was that a puppy who kissed me just now?"
The two girls have completely different personalities.
But spring flowers and autumn moon each have their own beauty.
After taking a shower, Chen Zhuo felt a little insomniac. He was not a person who was particular about his bed, but for some reason he couldn't sleep tonight.
I tossed and turned with my eyes closed until I heard birds singing outside the window, and then I slowly fell asleep.
I had not slept for long when I was suddenly awakened by the doorbell "Ding Dong~Ding Dong~". Then I found that there was a dazzling white light outside the window.
The tranquility of last night was illuminated by the broken dawn. The sunlight penetrated through the misty morning fog, and the nearby skyscrapers seemed to be covered with a layer of hazy golden light.
The wonderful Tyndall effect!
The Huaihai Middle Road outside the window looks like an endless stream of beetle-sized vehicles, a dream city of a modern metropolis.
Chen pulled his pajamas closer, walked over and opened the door, and the person standing outside was actually Song Shiwei.
Professor Lu must have been worried about the cold weather here, so he brought some clothes with him last night. That’s why School Beauty Song changed into a coat today.
A light pink ruffled Chanel-style dress, the light pink seems to be the color of treetops in early spring, it is just right for Sister Sweet.
She stood coldly at the door, in the deep hotel corridor, like a lotus blooming alone on the lake.
There is a special kind of tenderness in the corners of the eyes, eyebrows, and gaze.
"what happened?"
Chen asked, rubbing his dry eyes.
"ate breakfast."
Song Shiwei said softly, trying to shift his gaze elsewhere.
The pajamas in the hotel are all open, with only an optional belt in the middle.
When Chen woke up, his belt was gone and his underwear was barely visible when he walked.
"Oh."
The key point is that Chen Zhuo didn't realize it, and he stretched his head to look around: "Where are Professor Lu and the others?"
"They went down first."
Song Shiwei pretended to look to the other side casually and said lightly: "I said I want to call you."
"Professor Lu agreed?"
Chen was a little surprised.
"Ah."
Song Shiwei nodded.
Chen was sensitively aware that this was a subtle change.
In the past, Professor Lu would have found all sorts of reasons to force his daughter to go downstairs with him, and would never have let her stay and call him.
"Then I'm going to go brush my teeth and change my clothes."
Chen then noticed that Sister Sweet didn't dare to look at him directly, so he jokingly said, "Why don't you come in and wait, so you can have a chance to enjoy me taking off all my clothes."
Song Shiwei raised his phone and said, "My mom called to urge me."
"what!"
Chen Zhe stopped talking nonsense, washed up quickly and came to the door, but Song Shiwei was still talking on the phone, "It will take about 10 minutes, we will come down..."
When I turned around suddenly, Chen Zhe was already standing beside me.
Even Song Shiwei couldn't help but open her mouth, shocked at Chen Zhuo's speed of cleaning up.
"You don't understand boys."
Chen Zhuo said proudly: "If we go out at 8 o'clock in the future, you can wake me up at 7:50, but I promise that I will be the first one standing at the door to change shoes!"
"Home? Whose home?"
Song Shiwei blinked and was suddenly dazed.
She could tell that Chen was just joking.
However, this scene seems to be a scene of two people living together.
Song Shiwei had never thought about getting married before, but that didn't mean she had never thought about her future with Chen Zhe.
In fact, she really likes being with Chen Zhe. It feels relaxed, pleasant and safe. They also have common topics in their careers. She looks forward to their continued business cooperation.
But this was the first time that the word "marriage" popped into my mind so abruptly.
Here we can see the different views on the emotional journeys of Sister Cos and Sister Sweet.
When Yu Baibai likes a boy, her most important thought is to take care of her husband and children and return to her own small family;
School Beauty Song likes a boy, and at the same time hopes that the two of them can support and encourage each other in their careers and become each other's helpers on the road ahead.
This may be due to family education or upbringing.
But it is precisely this that creates the charm of different girls.
"go for meal."
While Song Shiwei was in a daze, Chen Zhuo took her hand and walked towards the elevator.
The movements were so natural that Song Shiwei still remembers the first time Chen Zhu held her hand. Although she pretended to be calm on the outside, her heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her chest.
"Will you still hold hands like this after a long, long time?"
Song Shiwei thought about it mischievously. After all, it had been a long time since he saw his parents holding hands.
……
On the way to the restaurant, Sweetie's appearance and figure attracted the attention of the guests of this five-star hotel.
Fortunately, Chen Zhuo's appearance is also good. Although he is young, there is a kind of frank and calm magnanimity in his every move.
When they reached the door of the buffet western restaurant on the first floor, Chen Zhuo tactfully let go of his hand so as not to upset Professor Lu.
"Mr. and Madam, please register your room cards."
The waiter took the room cards from Chen Zhuo and Song Shiwei in a friendly manner, and kindly reminded them, "Our morning buffet ends at 10 o'clock because this place will be used as a wedding banquet venue for someone else at noon."
“Is the wedding also a buffet?”
Chen thought to himself that Shanghai is still a big city after all. This kind of Western-style wedding banquet has only been around since 2008.
Maybe there is one in Guangzhou now, but Chen Zhuo has not participated in it yet.
"Yes."
The waiter pointed to a welcome poster next to him, which read:
Groom: Dong Hao
Bride: Sun Siqi
May you have a happy marriage and everlasting happiness. Best wishes to the newlyweds for a long and happy marriage!
In addition to this line of words, there is also a wedding photo of a man and a woman.
Chen took a quick look and commented nonchalantly, "The bride and groom are quite young. They must have gotten married right after graduating from college."
"Yes, sir."
The waiter responded with a smile: "To be precise, they are all prospective graduates of East China Normal University. I heard that they will officially graduate in July this year."
"Ho!"
Chen Zhuo smacked his lips and said, "That's college students holding weddings. It really deserves to be the number one city in the country. It's even more fashionable than our Guangzhou."
Chen was talking as he was about to go in, when he turned around he found Song Shiwei still there, staring blankly at the wedding poster.
"Do you know them?"
Chen asked.
"No."
Song Shiwei shook his head. "Then what are you looking at?"
Chen was a little curious, but didn't ask too much because he had already seen Mr. Song and Professor Lu.
Song Zuoming waved his hand and gestured for him to sit next to them.
Chen strode forward.
Song Shiwei took two steps and couldn't help but look back at the young bride and groom on the poster.
original.
You can get married while you are in college.
……
At breakfast, everything was normal.
Song Zuoming and Lu Man were at the same table, while Chen Zhuo and Song Shiwei were at the adjacent table.
The four of them didn't communicate much, because it was a self-service setting and there were guests coming and going all the time, so it wasn't too awkward.
However, Chen Zhuo, who was particularly sensitive to the environment, once again noticed that Professor Lu's resistance to him was obviously decreasing.
After eating, she didn't leave with a sour face, but sat down and chatted for a while.
Although he ignored Chen Zhuo, it seemed that he didn't pay any attention to Song Zuoming either.
She just asked her daughter about her plans for the day and when she planned to return to Guangzhou.
Song Shiwei said that he would go to Taomi Technology to take a look. After all, the game "Mole World" will be released on the 22nd, and the two largest investors are not very familiar with the actual situation.
"That person's name is... Wang Haibin, right?"
Song Zuomin had a lot of experience in the world, and he soon realized the trick, so he asked, "Doesn't he usually pass on some information about the company's operations to you?"
This involves the issue of communication between the two parties. Song Shiwei felt that his expression was not clear, so he looked at him.
Chen Zhuo understood, put down the fried dough sticks in his hand and said:
"Mr. Wang is a very capable and confident person. Even though we are an important investor, he rarely communicates with us. He just sends us some financial reports as usual."
"Recently."
Chen Zhuo laughed twice: "Maybe the company is too busy, Mr. Wang even forgot to send out some basic reports."
"Oh?"
Song Zuoming and Lu Man were not stupid, and they immediately realized that Chen Zhuo had some opinions about Wang Haibin's behavior.
My daughter's attitude is probably the same as Chen's.
Song Zuomin has experienced many ups and downs over the years, and he is not afraid of encountering any problems.
The problems in the world are nothing more than "people" or "things".
"Problems" are relatively easier to solve.
"People" are a little complicated, but there are always more solutions than problems.
"How are you going to deal with this?"
Song Zuomin took a sip of porridge. He wanted to hear the two young men's ideas.
"This is what I thought. It's a good opportunity to ask Uncle Song for some guidance."
Due to a habit developed over a long period of time, Chen's tone was unconsciously low-key.
他 说:
"When we go to Taomi Technology later, if Mr. Wang can realize that something is wrong, we will give him a warning and then stay and wait for the game to be released together."
"If Mr. Wang is indifferent, it means that he doesn't really value us and doesn't want investors to have a deep understanding of the company's affairs. Then we can just sit for a while and then go back to Guangzhou directly."
"Ok?"
Lu Man frowned, she thought she had heard it wrong.
How can one admit mistakes and correct them without giving a warning?
On the contrary, what if the other party refuses to repent and just goes back to Guangzhou without taking any measures?
Song Zuomin immediately understood Chen Zhuo's intention. He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to replace Wang Haibin after returning to Guangzhou?"
"Correct."
Chen Zhuo did not hide anything: "We have all arrived in Shanghai, and he still has no intention of reflecting on himself. There is no need to save him. However, the game is about to be released, and everything should be stable so as not to affect the mood of the entire team. So we plan to return to Guangzhou first and wait..."
"Wait until everything stabilizes and then kick Wang Haibin out immediately?"
Song Zuomin continued.
"That's what we think, but we don't know if it will go smoothly."
Chen said modestly.
Song Zuoming remained silent, lowered his head and gulped down two mouthfuls of porridge.
Chen's way of doing things has a very strong style.
This style is that when dealing with some unexpected incidents within the system, the main purpose is to "stability" to ensure that the overall plan is not affected.
Wait until the task is successfully completed, and then free up your hands to deal with some disobedient people.
How could this not go well?
This is the most scientific way of dealing with it!
At this time, Lu Man finally reacted.
She is a teacher and has her own logic of understanding.
Students who are often taken out by teachers for talks are the ones that teachers are willing to spend energy to correct their mistakes.
Some students sleep in class and the teachers don’t care. This is a blatant abandonment.
This was the first time Professor Lu saw Chen Zhuo handling official business. He was decisive yet meticulous. He did not have the "profit-seeking" nature of a businessman, but rather the "standardization" of an entrepreneur.
Therefore, in the workplace, if you make a mistake but your boss pretends not to see it, it is actually not a good thing. It means that the cooperation has entered the countdown.
……
After breakfast, Chen Zhuo and Song Shiwei took a taxi to the office building where Taomi Technology was located.
Maybe because Chen Zhuo showed control over the whole thing, Professor Lu didn't even ask to tag along.
"Look."
After the two young men left, Song Zuomin couldn't help but praise them, "Chen Zhe's ability has far exceeded the scope of a college student. Stubbornly asking him to improve his academic qualifications is actually a restriction on his talent."
Lu Man could tell that her husband was trying to excuse Chen Zhuo, hoping that she could lower the standards for Weiwei's boyfriend.
"Let's wait until he actually makes achievements."
Professor Lu did not agree, but she did not continue to argue with her husband on this point as she had done in the past.
Instead, she was struggling with another question: "Weiwei's birthday has passed, and what I'm thinking now is, when are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce?"
"what?"
Old Song paused for a moment, and explained awkwardly: "That was just something we said during the quarrel. Why do you still take it to heart?"
"is it?"
Lu Man sneered, turned around and went back to room 1806, not wanting to pay any attention to Song Zuomin.
I have worked hard for this family for more than 20 years, and yet my husband could only say those two words.
Song Zuoming is no other than him.
With his status, if he proposed "divorce", even if it was just said in anger, he would definitely have considered the subsequent impact carefully, which was something Lu Man could not tolerate.
Therefore, there are some things that should not be said casually between couples, because it can easily become a thorn in the relationship.
You may not be able to see it at ordinary times, but life cannot always go as planned.
Once something goes wrong, when this thorn is pulled out, it may bring out a blur of flesh and blood.
……
Around noon, Song Zuoming and Lu Man, who were in their respective rooms, received a call that Chen Zuoming and his daughter had returned.
Came back for lunch at this time, the result speaks for itself.
"What? Is Wang Haibin still stubborn?"
Song Zuomin raised his eyebrows.
"Boss Wang was very alert and was disgusted by our sudden arrival."
Chen said with a smile: "It was not until I told him that we came to Shanghai to attend a friend's wedding and not to go on a secret visit that he let down his guard and found some information to perfunctorily deal with us."
Chen Zhuo was able to think of this reason at the time because he was inspired by the college students’ wedding poster at the restaurant entrance.
"But we can't even not arrange a meal."
Lu Man also felt that Wang Haibin knew nothing about the ways of the world.
"It doesn't matter. We can go back to Guangzhou earlier."
Chen Zhuo seemed to be very good at talking: "Today is Monday, you and Uncle Song both have to go to work, so try not to delay your work as much as possible."
Although Professor Lu did not respond, she was silently lamenting, why couldn't Chen Zhe's family conditions be better?
If he were to date my daughter now, he would be too embarrassed to introduce her to her family.
After booking the return tickets, the four of them planned to go to the airport. However, while waiting for the bus on the first floor, Chen Zhuo and Song Shiwei both saw the wedding banquet in the buffet restaurant.
The MC was holding the microphone and asking the bride: "...are you willing to be with him forever, no matter whether he is rich or poor, healthy or unwell in the future?"
Bride: "Yes, I do."
Song Shiwei didn't say anything, but her long eyelashes trembled.
……
After a two-hour flight, after arriving in Guangzhou, Song Zuoming and Professor Lu went to work respectively, while Chen Zhuo and Song Shiwei returned to CUHK.
The matter of Sweet Sister "running away from home" was just covered up on the surface.
But deep down, everyone has their own inspirations and thoughts.
A week passed in a blink of an eye, everything was fine, nothing happened, except that the weather became warmer.
At noon on March 3, Chen Zhuo and Song Shiwei came to an Internet cafe near the school together. They had planned to register an account and log in to experience "Mole World" after it was officially released at 22 o'clock.
However, while waiting for the computer to start up, Chen suddenly heard someone calling from behind:
"Oh my god, I found this amazing software! It can actually download e-books and movies to your phone at will!"
"A mobile assistant? What's so surprising? I've watched several of Aoi's movies."
······
(And tonight.)
