The shantytown was burned down by a fire, and redevelopment was naturally imperative, as for the compensation, the Shen Group did not even give the original standard, only gave a small amount of money, and some people disagreed, but after being threatened, they finally obediently went through the procedures, and the Shen Group really became the biggest beneficiary.

After Chu Tian went home that night, Chu Mingyu sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, Chu Tian didn't dare to ask more, and after his father went upstairs, Chu Tian asked her mother, her mother sighed and said: "Your father was seriously criticized by the organization this time, such a big thing happened, the impact is extremely bad, plus someone is behind the scenes, your father's promotion is probably hopeless." ”

Chu Mingyu has done a good job in all aspects in the past few years in Ningjiang, and he is deeply supported, if nothing else, he should be able to be promoted to the provincial capital, but such an incident has caused great attention, and Chu Mingyu's chances of promotion are a little slim.

Chu Tian was born in this kind of family, so he naturally knew some of the things in it, he said: "This matter is clearly done by the people of the Shen Group, and they are really crazy." ”

Chu Tian's mother said: "How can your father not know? But the Shen Group has a very deep background, and it affects the whole body, if there is evidence, it is better to say, without evidence, they can't be moved at all." But this kind of thing, they must do it without leaving a clue, and this time your dad can only suffer a dark loss. ”

My mother still went to get the compensation money from the Shen Group, anyway, if you don't take the money for nothing, Bai Yimo has always suggested buying a suite, but my mother disagreed, so she temporarily lived in a rented house.

The shantytown thing slowly faded away, and it didn't cause too many people to talk about it, and I was powerless, I wanted to help with this matter, and I wanted to fight for more things, but after all, my ability was still limited and I couldn't do it.

Even Chu Mingyu, who is the number one, has no way to take the Shen Group, and I fight the Shen Group on my own, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

After school that afternoon, Mr. Xu kept me, saying that Grandpa Xu asked her to take me to the Yujingwan Villa, and since the last birthday banquet of Mr. Xu, I have not visited again, so I took Mr. Xu's car to Yujingwan.

Teacher Xu is still as cold and arrogant as she is, and she doesn't talk to me much, I don't know what she is thinking about in her head for a day. Xu Lao usually lives alone in the villa, but it is a little lonely, when I went, Xu Lao was sitting on the edge of the small lake outside the villa fishing.

After Xu Yingying brought me over, she entered the house, I called Grandpa Xu, he smiled kindly, let me sit casually, Xu Lao took the initiative to ask me: "I heard Yingying say that you have been very busy recently, and your academic performance has declined?"

I said that there was a series of accidents at home, and if it was delayed, I would hurry up and make up for it.

Xu Lao bowed his head slightly and said: "Young people, you still have to focus on your studies. But I've heard a little about your family, and I'm glad that you've handled it well, and I thought you'd come to me. ”

I hurriedly said, "This kind of thing, don't dare to bother Grandpa Xu." ”

Xu Lao said with satisfaction: "Yes, at a young age, it is rare to be able to know how to advance and retreat, and when you encounter something, you have to rely on your own ability to solve it." I came to you today because I wanted to discuss something with you. ”

Xu Lao took the initiative to find me, I knew that there must be something, I asked him what was the matter, Xu Lao said: "Ningjiang is a little small after all, here, it is tantamount to a frog at the bottom of the well, I plan to arrange for you to go to the provincial capital to study in the second year of high school, go to a broader place in the provincial capital, increase some knowledge and experience, what do you think?"

What Mr. Xu said was indeed too unexpected for me, very sudden, and caught me a little off guard.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa Xu, I understand your kindness, although Ningjiang is small, I haven't even understood it here, I'm afraid it's not suitable to go to the provincial capital." A small place naturally has the characteristics of a small place, and a small Ningjiang River is not also a microcosm of the world?"

Grandpa Xu looked at me in surprise, as if he was a little surprised.

He said: "You must know that going to the provincial capital to study is a rare and precious opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, are you really not going? Only by coming into contact with a wider world and different people will you have a long-term vision and will go further in the future." ”

After a little hesitation, I still said firmly: "I know, but I still want to stay in Ningjiang, maybe I will go to the provincial capital in the future, or go to Yanjing to see the outside world, but now I still want to stay in Ningjiang." ”

Grandpa Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse in such a hurry, you can think about it, it's still a long time, maybe you'll figure it out sometime." ”

Grandpa Xu was talking to me, at this time the fish was hooked, and a very big fish was caught, Grandpa Xu smiled: "Today's luck is good, I have been fishing every day recently, but no fish have been hooked, as soon as you come, there will be fish on the bait, it seems that you are lucky." ”

Hearing Grandpa Xu's words, I couldn't help but think of the incident that day when those koi fish pounced on me at Chutian's house, I wanted to tell Grandpa Xu about it, but forget it, it's not a big deal.

Grandpa Xu said: "Okay, don't fish, don't leave tonight, stay for dinner, and I'll let Ying Ying cook it herself later, her cooking skills are a must, and it's hard for me to eat it." ”

Grandpa Xu's words surprised me a little, does Mr. Xu still cook?

Every time I go to her house for tuition, she orders takeout and never cooks, looking at her slender fingers and blown-out skin, she doesn't look like a person who can cook.

I followed Grandpa Xu back to the villa, except for a nanny in the huge villa, Grandpa Xu usually lives alone, but it is indeed very deserted. Grandpa Xu said: "It used to be very lively here, a large family lived there, and they all moved away, leaving me as an old man." ”

I said, why don't you let Teacher Xu come back to accompany you? Grandpa Xu said, "She's stubborn, and it's good to be able to come and live once in a while." ”

Xu Yingying changed into loose home clothes and went to the kitchen to be busy, Grandpa Xu asked me to play chess with him, after he asked me if I could play chess last time, I went home and spent a while studying.

Compared with Grandpa Xu, my chess skills are really too far behind, Grandpa Xu said: "This game of chess contains a lot of truths, all say that life is like chess, can you understand something?"

I thought about it, but something came to mind.

I stayed in the villa for dinner, Xu Yingying's cooking skills are really good, the cooked fish is very delicious, compared with my mother, this really makes me look at Xu Yingying, don't look at her always cold, her ability is quite big.

Xu Yingying is a woman like her, rich, beautiful, and temperamental, she is really good in the hall and in the kitchen, and marrying her is really a blessing from her previous life. However, Xu Yingying's eyes are above the top, and she still has no boyfriend, so it stands to reason that the person who pursues her must at least have a strengthened connection.

I suddenly remembered my other identity, Chen Yang!

Xu Yingying has a good impression of Chen Yang, and some ideas suddenly came out of my heart, which felt very interesting and beautiful in my heart.

I was going to leave after dinner, but because Xu Yingying was going to stay in the villa, and it was not easy to take a taxi at night, Grandpa Xu asked me to stay too, there were many rooms in the villa, I called my mother and said, so I stayed in the villa for one night, and went to school with Xu Yingying the next day.

During class, Chu Tian suddenly asked me, "Do you have time this Friday?"

I asked him what he wanted to do, and Chutian said: "There is a very high-end party, it can be regarded as a drinking party, the leaders of Ningjiang and many big bosses will attend, you can go with me." ”

I shook my head and said, "Do you think I'm suitable for this kind of occasion? ”

Chu Tian said directly: "I knew you didn't want to go, but there was no way, it was my mother who gave the order to let me bring you with me, and you just gave me a face and went on a trip." ”

I wondered, "Your mother told me to go? Where is this? What did she tell me to do?"

Last time Hou Zhichun's incident, Chutian's mother was very dissatisfied with me, why did she suddenly ask me to attend a party on such an occasion?
