Chapter 13: Gifts
"Wow, that's so expensive,"
Looking at the beautifully made menu, the price is not expensive, Rao is Nie Shiqian couldn't help but widen her eyes, and exclaimed.
Lin Chendui smiled, ignored her, and ordered food from the waitress on her own.
After coming out of school, they originally planned to go to Athena to eat Western food, but when they arrived at the place, they found that Athena's business was really good, and at noon, it was actually overcrowded, and there was no way, Lin Chendui only found a newly opened Lu restaurant nearby, which looked quite good.
In today's society, Sichuan cuisine is popular all over the world, in comparison, other cuisines are somewhat inferior in the popularity of diners, but if you really want to talk about it, Lu cuisine pays attention to seasoning and purity, the taste is salty and fresh, with fresh, tender, fragrant and crispy characteristics, which is used to eating spicy, heavy taste Huachuan people, it is also a good attempt, and Lu cuisine is very particular about the preparation of clear soup and milk soup, the clear soup is clear and fresh, the milk soup is white and mellow, nutritious and delicious, especially suitable for girls like Nie Shiqian who are still developing and growing their bodies.
Because there are no outsiders, the two found a relatively secluded corner to sit down, it is the kind of two-person table, green and white tablecloth, the two sit opposite each other, next to the green vine flowing water, although it is in the lobby, it is also very pleasant, but the environment is good, and the price of the dishes is naturally expensive.
Nie Shiqian listened to Lin Chendui ordering one dish after another, her eyes sneaked over the menu, and she couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly, after a meal, she was about to pay for a month's living expenses, although she knew that Lin Chenwan cherished herself, she still felt distressed.
After a while, one exquisite dish after another was served, Lin Chenwan and Nie Shiqian used juice as wine, chatting while drinking, talking about the mess in the girls' dormitory just now, Lin Chendu's old face couldn't help but blush, his reputation in Huachuan University was almost ruined, if he was still carrying a "pervert" black cauldron, then he didn't know how to cry, but Lin Chenwan also had to admit that Fang Xiaoya's figure was so good that he inadvertently remembered it, and his heart was pounding.
"Brother Lin, listen to my dad, you are promoted this time, right," After laughing at Lin Chenwan unscrupulously for a while, Nie Shiqian asked with a grin, she has never cared much about these things in the officialdom, and even her parents are in the government, and she is not very clear about what her parents are doing in the government, but Lin Chenwan is extremely concerned, but Lin Chenwan rarely tells her about work matters, and in addition to being depressed, Nie Shiqian can only ask her parents about it, and she is not less ridiculed by her parents for this.
"Hehe, sort of," Lin Chenwan said with a smile.
Although he never understood why Secretary Sun of the Provincial Youth League Committee looked down on him, a small cadre who was not in the stream, after careful consideration and Yang Weiguo's suggestion, Lin Chenwei finally decided to take up the post of deputy director of the Rural Youth Work Department of the Provincial Youth League Committee.
The main work of the Rural Youth Work Department is to put forward and implement the work opinions of the Rural Youth League, guide the work of the Rural Youth League, and organize the work and activities of the rural youth around economic construction. Organize and carry out investigations and studies on the work of rural youth and youth leagues; Guiding the work of the Provincial Youth Township Entrepreneurs Association, responsible for the daily work of the secretariat of the association and assisting in guiding the construction of the grassroots organizations of the rural league, etc., Lin Chendui has done a good job in Guantang, and it is understandable that he was transferred to serve as this deputy minister, but the provincial party committee of the Youth League is a department-level unit, and he, the deputy minister, is the deputy director level, although Lin Chenwan did not actually solve the deputy department level, but he enjoyed the out-and-out deputy department level treatment, so it is reasonable to talk about promotion.
Of course, if it is only a deputy director level, it is not enough to make Lin Chenwan tempted, the key is that the minister of the Rural Youth Work Department is concurrently served by Qi Pingrui, deputy secretary of the Provincial Youth League Committee, that is, most of the work in the ministry is responsible for him, the deputy minister, Lin Chendui feels that he can accept it, he does things, what he is most afraid of is that someone is making trouble on the side, and in an organization, the main position and the deputy position seem to be only one word apart, but in fact, the power is very different.
According to Yang Weiguo's assumption, if Lin Chenwan can stay in the Provincial Youth League Committee for two years, maybe he will not only be able to solve the problem of the deputy department, but also touch the threshold of the right place.
In fact, Nie Shiqian, this little girl, doesn't care about whether Lin Chenwan is promoted at all, but what she cares about is that Lin Chenwan works in Heyang, so she and he don't have to be like Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, and she will be satisfied if she can stay by Lin Chendu's side from time to time.
After chatting for a few more words, Lin Chenwan asked, "Do you have enough money for school?"
"That's enough," Nie Shiqian nodded and said, "My parents give me five hundred yuan a month for living expenses," and her voice was delicate and crisp.
Although she eats delicately, but her clear and bright big eyes, she looks at Lin Chendui from time to time, her eyes under her long eyelashes are as clear as a spring, and the lower lip of the straight nose bridge is red, which contrasts with the fair, transparent cheeks, which looks even more delicate and attractive, there is a strand of hair scattered on the cheeks, and the delicate face that has not taken off the childish has a bit of a charming and attractive taste.
Lin Chenwan nodded, the living expenses of 500 yuan a month are not high or low in Heyang, when he was in college, although the price level was lower, it was only 200 yuan when he was full of money in a month, and most of them were earned by his own work-study, but in terms of Nie Shiqian's family conditions, 500 yuan is indeed not much, it can be seen that although Nie Zhiyuan and his wife doted on her daughter, they did not blindly dot on her.
However, it is said that poor children raise rich daughters, rich daughters are not greedy for small profits, and their temperament is extraordinary, college students are becoming more and more realistic now, girls are more generous in their hands during school, maybe they can be less tempted by the outside world, Lin Chenwan thought about it, took out a bank card from his bag, handed it to Nie Shiqian, and said: "There is some money in this card, you take it, you can get it yourself when you need it, and the password is my birthday," said very naturally, he didn't treat this abrasive little girl as an outsider at all.
"Ah," Nie Shiqian was startled, but her face was red, and she shook her head busily, although she had long claimed to be Lin Chendui's girlfriend, and sooner or later she would have to take care of this family for him, but she really wanted to spend Lin Chenwan's money, although her heart was sweet, she was embarrassed to say anything.
"What's the matter, you still see me outside, besides, this money is not given to you for nothing, and after graduation, the money you earn will be repaid to me with interest," Lin Chenwan said with a smile.
Nie Shiqian was originally full of sweetness, but when she heard the words, she was angry with Lin Chen, and she turned her head in anger.
At this moment, a charming female voice came from the side: "Xiao Dui, when did you come to Heyang,"
Lin Chendui turned his head, and saw a beautiful woman walking in a beautiful manner, two strands of hair hanging down from both sides of her pretty face, looking noble and generous, graceful, and graceful, so she hurriedly stood up with a smile and said hello, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, it seemed that she always met this bright and radiant Zhao Qingyan when she was eating.
Zhao Qingyan has a charming smile on her face, Lin Chenwan has known her for more than two years, but she always feels that the years do not seem to have left any traces on this woman's face, no matter when she sees it, she is always radiant and graceful, seeing the smiling Zhao Qingyan, Lin Chendui couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: Is it possible, she can come to the Youth League Provincial Committee this time, it is she behind the scenes.
After a few words of greeting, Zhao Qingyan's eyes moved to Nie Shiqian's face again, and after looking at her for a while, he asked with a smile: "The little girl is very beautiful, it's your girlfriend,"
Nie Shiqian originally looked at Zhao Qingyan with some vigilance, for fear that this beautiful woman and Lin Chenwan would have something to do with it, smart and beautiful women are always easy to arouse the hostility of the same sex, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but smile again, and said, "My sister is also very beautiful,"
Zhao Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and trembled, and after a while, he took Nie Shiqian's hand and said, "The little girl's mouth is so sweet," and then took off a string of shiny bracelets from her wrists and stuffed them into Nie Shiqian's hand, and said in her mouth: "I didn't expect to meet you, and I didn't prepare any gifts, this bracelet is not worth much, so it should be a meeting gift,"
Nie Shiqian was suddenly at a loss, her blushing face stammered and she couldn't say anything, Lin Chenwan was also taken aback, Zhao Qingyan's bracelet was said to be worthless, but with her status, what she can wear on her hand must not be a mortal thing, besides, the bracelet is extremely exquisite, although it is not clear, it is decorated with crystals or gemstones, but the value is ironclad.
Who knew that after Zhao Qingyan forced the bracelet into Nie Shiqian's hand, he didn't listen to their refusal and excuse himself, and after giving the two of them a smile, he turned around and left.
The two were stunned for a long time, and Nie Shiqian looked at the bracelet in her hand with a sad face and asked, "Brother Lin, what should I do now?"
Lin Chenwan looked at Zhao Qingyan's back, but smiled helplessly, and said, "Since others are sincere to give it away, you can accept it,"
"Really," Nie Shiqian showed a lovely smile, and her big clear eyes were bent into crescent moons.
Such a delicate and beautiful bracelet, it is impossible to say that she doesn't like it, but she has been taught very strict since she was a child, and she can't easily accept gifts from others, but now that Lin Chenwan has spoken, it is naturally different, what's more, in her opinion, she has nothing to do with that beautiful woman, and most of the things that others give to her are also for the sake of Lin Chendui's face, so what's the difference between that and Lin Chendu's gift.
"Brother Lin, who is this sister," put the bracelet on his hand, and after looking left and right again, Nie Shiqian asked again.
"A mysterious and well-known woman," Lin Chenwan said lightly, but she was a little suspicious in her heart, Zhao Qingyan, a woman, was mysterious, but others were very good to him, and Lin Chenwan couldn't guess the reason.
