"Zhiqiang. The house is not good. Ren Zhiqiang just sat down. Jiang Wanlin asked impatiently.

"I've found it." Ren Zhiqiang took a sip of water. "It's around our school." It is the house of a retired old professor. Three-bedroom, two-living room. The decoration is quite good. The old professor went to his son abroad last month. So the house was empty. As long as it doesn't damage what's inside. Stay as long as you want. ”

"Near your school. That should be a long way from here. Guo Meijun frowned. Doesn't seem to be very satisfied.

Ren Zhiqiang smiled. I took a sip of water. It seems that he wants to hide his embarrassment with this.

Lin Chendui also saw it. Uncle Ren Zhiqiang's status in this family is not high. It doesn't seem to please grandma. Think about it too. When my uncle and aunt got married. Old Man Jiang is already a high-powered central leader. Of course, I hope that my aunt will entrust her with a lifelong object. It's a good family background. A young handsome man with a promising future. And not a nerd who focuses on learning. Even if it was forced by my aunt's insistence. Reluctantly agreed to this family business. But he doesn't necessarily like this wooden son-in-law.

And all these years. There is the old man Jiang, the old man of the central leader. Ren Zhiqiang is still just a teacher. Do his academic research. Not even a dean. You can see it from this. Old man Jiang doesn't seem to care about this son-in-law. Otherwise. Even a trivial hint. There will be countless people jumping out. scrambling to promote him to reuse. Although his son-in-law does not please Old Man Jiang. But after all, he is still the son-in-law of Old Man Jiang. Maybe he said something casually in front of Old Man Jiang. It can play a role that others can't get.

"Huh. Grandmother. Actually, it's nice to live near the school. It is also convenient for me to go to study in the future. Lin Chenwan smiled and said to Guo Meijun: "The traffic is so convenient now. It's also easy. ”

He didn't want to accept a house or a house. It's just to relieve Ren Zhiqiang. Anyway. Ren Zhiqiang is also working hard for his own business.

Jiang Wanlin glanced at Ren Zhiqiang. It seems that he also feels that he is not doing well. But he still smiled and said to Guo Meijun: "Yes." Mother. I heard that Xiaohui is still studying for graduate school in addition to work. It's also nice to live near the school. It's both quiet and nice. And from over there. It's only about half an hour by car. Otherwise. I bought a car for Xiaohui. ”

Lin Chendui was about to refuse. Guo Meijun said, "Hmm." It's good to buy a car. I asked someone to get a pass. It will be convenient for Xiaohui to go wherever he goes in the future. ”

Lin Chenwan noticed. When Guo Meijun and Jiang Wanlin said this. A hint of resentment flashed in Ren Weihao's eyes. It's like he's hating himself. I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Maybe in Ren Weihao's heart. Think of yourself as a sudden appearance. robbed him of the love that belonged to him.

"Auntie. Isn't it advocating environmental protection now? Lin Chenwan said: "I don't think it's necessary to buy a car." It's also very convenient to get around by car. ”

Jiang Wanlin shook her head. Ride. Cars without passes. There's no way to get here. How did you get in when you got to the door? Could it be said. Do you want to walk in. It's even weirder.

Then. The babysitter walked in and announced that it was time to eat. Jiang Wanlin pushed Guo Meijun's wheelchair and walked out. Lin Chendui followed closely. Just out the door. I heard someone behind me ask softly, "Are you really my cousin?" ”

Lin Chendui looked back. It turned out to be a little girl, Ren Weiqi. I saw her half-raise her head. I looked at myself with some curiosity. Touching your own gaze. He lowered his head timidly. Appears a little shy and shy. and her brother Ren Weihao. It's just two completely different personalities.

Lin Chendui touched the back of his head. Smiled: "Sort of." ”

"Sort of." Ren Weiqi glanced at him with some surprise. said: "Yes, yes." If not, it's not. How can it be. ”

"Because I'm confused right now, too. I don't know what's going on. But they all said yes. Let's just do it. ”

Ren Weiqi covered his mouth and smiled. Then he asked, "Then I haven't heard my mother and grandmother talk about it before." ”

"Maybe they wouldn't have thought of it. Lost for more than twenty years. Let's meet again one day. Lin Chenwan smiled. He asked again: "You and your brother are dragon and phoenix fetuses." ”

"yes. You say it's unfair. He was born a few seconds before me. But he will be my brother for the rest of his life. Ren Weiqi's nose wrinkled. He said a little angrily.

"Huh. Isn't it bad to have an older brother. Lin Chenwan asked with a smile.

"What's so good?" Ren Weiqi pouted and said, "He knows how to bully me." ”

It's not loud, though. But Ren Weihao, who was walking in front, seemed to hear it. Turn your head. glared at Ren Weiqi fiercely. By the way, he also glared at Lin Chendui. A few more steps. said to Guo Meijun: "Grandma." I'll push you. "A well-behaved look.

Lin Chenwan couldn't help but be stunned. Ren Weiqi seemed to be used to seeing it and said to Lin Chendui: "You saw it." That's what he looks like. will earn to behave and behave. Grandma still feels the most well-behaved and obedient. Actually. You don't know. He beats up classmates, falls in love, smokes, and clubs at school. Do anything bad. ”

Ren Weiqi sued Ren Weihao well. Lin Chenwan smiled and asked, "What about you." ”

"Me." Ren Weiqi said complacently: "Then there is no need to say." Of course, he is a good student in the eyes of teachers and parents. Last semester, I was the first in my class. ”

"Huh. That's amazing. Lin Chenwan said with a smile.

"Of course." Ren Weiqi smiled smugly. Then he asked, "Cousin." What about you. ”

"Me. I don't have much to say. Lin Chenwan said: "I have been displaced with my mother since I was a child. Stay here for a few years. Stay there for a few years. Started working after graduating from university. Until now. ”

Chatting and talking. It's time to get to the dining room. Old Man Jiang is already there. When I saw the old man Jiang with a serious face. Everyone's voices were much lower. Ren Weihao is also low-browed. Honestly called: "Grandpa". He sat aside. Not a word.

"Xiaohui. Come. Sit next to me. "Meet Lin Chendui. Old Man Jiang's serious face suddenly showed a warm smile. He pointed to his seat next to him.

"Me." Lin Chenwan couldn't help but hesitate. He knew that the rules in many wealthy mansions were very strict. Even the seating is very particular. There are both grandparents on site. There are also aunts and uncles. Go and sit on your own. I'm afraid it's not good.

Old Man Jiang seemed to see Lin Chendu's scruples. was a little displeased: "It's all in my own house." How can there be so much exquisiteness. Let you sit. You just sit. ”

Guo Meijun also smiled and beckoned to him and said, "Xiaohui." Come. Sit with us. ”

Jiang Wanlin handed over an encouraging look. Lin Chendui sat down next to Old Man Jiang and Guo Meijun. Then. The others sat down one after another.

Maybe it's because of health care. Old Man Jiang didn't eat much. Vegetarian diet is the majority. Even Lin Chen's twilight came. It is only symbolically added a steamed fish and back to the pot meat. But these things. Old Man Jiang didn't move. Instead, he gave Lin Chendui a few pieces. It made Lin Chenwan feel a little uncomfortable.

"Dad. Zhiqiang is the dean of their college. I'm going to retire next month. "Halfway through the meal. Seeing that Old Man Jiang was in a good mood. Jiang Wanlin said casually.

Old Man Jiang glanced at her. There is no talk.

Guo Meijun was a little embarrassed when she saw the scene. He turned his head to Ren Zhiqiang and asked with a smile: "How is Zhiqiang's work?" ”

Ren Zhiqiang hurriedly said: "It's good." ”

Jiang Wanlin also said: "I evaluated the professor last year. Several papers have been published in international journals this year. ”

Old Man Jiang put down the bowl. said to Ren Zhiqiang: "That's right." To do scholarship is to calm down. Don't spend all day thinking about things that don't work. You see which leader in the school can do a good job in learning. ”

Ren Zhiqiang's face turned red with embarrassment. nodded in response. Jiang Wanlin said with some disberence: "It's not that Zhiqiang has to be the dean. However, the school's principal Zhu talked to Zhiqiang. said that he was preparing to promote Zhiqiang. We can't push the total outward. Besides. At the beginning, many of the people who came out of Zhiqiang a year also became deans and vice presidents. There's nothing special about it. ”

Old Man Jiang frowned. said earnestly: "I'm not against Zhiqiang being reused and promoted. However, Zhiqiang has always been a scholar and researcher. For personnel management is a layman. It's not a good thing to go to the end. ”

Jiang Wanlin stopped squeaking. Ren Weihao raised his eyebrows. It seems that some people are not convinced. But he didn't dare to say anything.

Ren Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Dad is right. I also don't think I'm the material. Ming'er, I'll go to Dean Zhu and get this matter back. ”

Lin Chendui heard this. But I couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in my hand. said: "Actually, to be a scholar and a leader. It doesn't have to be a conflict. ”

Old Man Jiang glanced at Lin Chendui. Jiang Wanlin was also a little surprised. At home, what the old man said was almost a decree. No one's opinion or refutation is tolerated. Only Lin Chenwan still doesn't understand the situation. Dare to raise your voice and raise objections. I couldn't help but glance at Old Man Jiang. I saw that there was no gloom on his face. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's what I thought. In fact, the domestic system is already very tight. Institutions are also sound. It doesn't matter who is going to be the dean. The work of the academy is also functioning normally. Then why can't it be an uncle? My uncle may not be very good at management. But who is born with it? There must always be an opportunity to try and learn. Even if you try, it's not too late to step down. It's better than squandering such a precious opportunity. ”

"My uncle is in his early forties now. There is also room for elevation and plasticity. It's not necessarily a bad thing to break through. Besides. As the old saying goes, the virtuous do not avoid relatives. If it's because of grandpa's identity. blindly suppressed the opportunity for his uncle's development. I think so. It's too unfair to my uncle. ”

After a while, he finished speaking. The hall was silent. There was silence. But Lin Chendui saw it clearly. Ren Weiqi winked at him with some excitement.

Old Man Jiang was silent for a moment. But he waved his hand again. said: "What Xiaohui said also makes sense. That's it. See for yourselves. If Zhiqiang wants to try, it's okay. But I'm still saying that. You can't have it both ways. I want to go on a career path. Academic research will certainly be affected. The trade-offs. Weigh it up for yourself. ”
