Chapter 247 The Plan of Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law(1/2)
Chapter 247 The plan of father-in-law and son-in-law
Yan Hongzhi didn't even know how he returned to the box or sat back in his seat.
What Xu Xing said just now kept swirling in my mind.
In two years, I haven’t received a cent of child support...
So how did Yan Chiju come here in the past two years?
Just thinking about it in his mind, Yan Hongzhi knew how painful it would be, so his heart felt a little sour. He looked at Yan Chiju, who was sitting opposite, with guilt buried deep in his eyes.
What followed was an anger that had nowhere to vent. It was bottled up in my heart and could not be vented in this situation. In the end, I could only take a deep breath and clink glasses with Xu Jian next to me. After drinking, I felt depressed to the bottom of my heart.
The topic at the dinner table just happened to stop at the children's learning issues.
Several older children present here are all top students, so Qu Yaru naturally asked several parents for advice on how to educate their children.
To be honest, Sun Wanhui didn't have any good ideas. After all, Xu Xing couldn't help his English at all before. It was impossible for his children to find a girlfriend who could teach English, right?
In this regard, Pei Qinglan is quite knowledgeable.
She divorced her husband when Yao Yuanyuan was young, and she has been raising Yao Yuanyuan alone.
I got married while studying and working overseas, and after the divorce I brought my daughter back to China to live. It is really amazing that I can take care of my career and my children.
"To me, letting children realize the significance of active learning is much more important than simply improving their grades." Pei Qinglan took a sip of red wine and said slowly, "Of course, this is mainly for our family's better conditions."
"For children from poor families, their grades are the stepping stone for the college entrance examination. A college diploma is also the most convenient and cheapest way to improve their objective value. It also makes it easier for them to find a high-quality job and escape poverty."
"But for families with relatively good conditions, their children have not had much pressure to survive since childhood, and the surrounding living environment is relatively comfortable. At this time, the importance of learning this matter may not be as strong as that of the poor families above."
Pei Qinglan spoke very calmly. Although in fact what she said was a bit cruel, they were all very objective facts.
"So we still need to let our children know the importance of learning?" Qu Yaru asked curiously after taking over the conversation.
"The premise is that the parents themselves know it." Pei Qinglan laughed and said, "What do you think is the importance of learning?"
"Enter a good university in the college entrance examination and get a good diploma. It will be easier to find a job in the future." Qu Yaru answered naturally.
"As I said just now, our life has become better now. We are not as poor as before. Our children have grown up in a comfortable environment, and the pressure of survival has not yet reached the level of life and death." Pei Qinglan said to the point, "Looking for a job is very important to them.
It’s too far away and too realistic.”
"Then what should I say?" Qu Yaru asked next.
"Yuanyuan, what do you think?" Pei Qinglan looked at Yao Yuanyuan with a smile.
Yao Yuanyuan was eating her food normally, but when her mother ordered her to do so, she had to raise her head, think about it seriously and said: "To put it more abstractly, improving oneself through learning is to be able to have more when facing difficulties in the future."
The right to choose, right?”
"To be more specific, getting a college degree is not about finding a job that makes a lot of money, but after graduation, even if you do what you like, you can have a safer way out, protect your life, and support yourself.
Chase what you want.”
"To put it simply, the more you learn and master, the more paths you can take. The right to choose lies in your own hands."
"On the other hand, your path will only become narrower and narrower. The choice is in the hands of others. You can only follow other people's choices and go with the flow, unable to control the direction of your own life."
The women were chatting in depth, but the three people who just went to the toilet didn't pay attention to the dinner table.
Yan Hongzhi was eating vegetables and drinking, feeling a little depressed.
Yan Chijuan's expression didn't seem to change much, but he would occasionally pick up food for Xu Xing secretly when people around him weren't paying attention.
Xu Xing sat next to her, glanced at Yan Hongzhi, and then at his little girlfriend. The hand under the table had already grasped Yan Chijuan's little hand, and squeezed her palm to comfort her.
"Why did you come back so late just now?" Yan Chijiu asked in a low voice.
"I had a little chat with your dad."
"What are you talking about?" The little hands under the table tightened. Yan Chi looked at Yan Hongzhi and added in a low voice, "Don't worry about what he said. I will listen to you anyway."
"There's nothing to talk about, don't worry." Xu Xing patted her palm.
At this time, Yan Hongzhi's mood eased a little and he finally returned to the topic at the dinner table.
While chatting, he glanced at Xu Xing next to Yan Chijuan, and casually talked about Yao Yuanyuan's work.
"Yuanyuan is also engaged in finance now. Which company is it specifically?" Yan Hongzhi asked, "Is it Mr. Pei's own investment company?"
"After graduation, I was actually going to do an internship in my mother's company." Yao Yuanyuan wanted to laugh when she mentioned this, but thinking that her boss and his parents seemed to be present, she restrained herself and simply said, "
Now I work at Qunxing Company."
"Qunxing Company? I seem to have heard of this name." Yan Hongzhi chewed for a while and thought repeatedly about where he had heard of this company.
Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian next to them were also a little curious. They thought the name was familiar, but they just couldn't remember it.
Yan Hongzhi now only knows that Yao Yuanyuan and Yan Chijuan are colleagues in the same company. After listening to Xu Xing's words just now, he understands a little bit, so he then asked: "Are they making games?"
"Yes, I started out as a gamer." Yao Yuanyuan introduced with a smile, "Qunxing Company is the earliest parent company and has many subsidiaries. The earliest Tianshu Studio was engaged in making games. We were also the first to make vinegar.
One of the team members.”
"You are so jealous?" Sun Wanhui was a little surprised.
"That's not true." Yao Yuanyuan chuckled, and worked hard to increase the power of jealousy. "In the beginning, apart from the boss, there was only one programmer in the team. We made a lot of money from our first game."
"That's really amazing." Sun Wanhui sighed and couldn't help but pat Xu Xing on the shoulder, "Look at this little girl, she had this kind of experience when she first entered college. How about you?"
Xu Xing: "..."
Yan Chijiu next to him covered his mouth and managed to hold back his laughter.
When Yao Yuanyuan saw that her boss was embarrassed, his face straightened up and he stopped laughing. Even Pei Qinglan next to him smiled and found it very interesting.
Yan Hongzhi still didn't know that Xu Xing was the boss of this company, so he didn't understand the deeper meaning. Instead, he was more concerned about the situation of this company: "You said you came from a game background, do you mean this company has other businesses?"
"The main business is still the game industry at Tianshu Company, but our boss is also doing other things now." Yao Yuanyuan barely suppressed her laughter and continued, "Let's not talk about anything else. There is a piece of software that you must be using.
Use it, it’s what our company does.”
"What?"
"WeChat."
"ah?"
“WeChat?!”
"Oh!" Xu Jian reacted and said suddenly, "I said that the name of Qunxing Company is so familiar. The one I saw news about on the Internet before was the WeChat company. It is very powerful!"
At this time, Yan Hongzhi also reacted.
After all, Qunxing Company is a new company established just this summer, so it’s normal for the name to be unfamiliar.
However, as WeChat has been in the limelight in recent months and frequently appeared in hot searches and major news media and periodicals, those here are particularly familiar with it.
In particular, WeChat was a communication software that was installed and used on their mobile phones. After Yao Yuanyuan broke it in this way, everyone reacted immediately.
"Well Yuanyuan, you are very powerful. I remember you are now the financial director of this company?" Yan Hongzhi couldn't help but said, "I read on the news that this company is now comparable to Tencent Alibaba."
Xu Xing: "..."
"That's not so bad." Yao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "It's really far worse than what you said. Even our boss won't say that. It's just that the media likes to exaggerate the facts."
"Qunxing Company has great potential. I just reached a cooperation with their boss before." Pei Qinglan said at this time, "If Qunxing Company can really develop stably for a few years, it may be possible to rival Tencent Alibaba."
I don’t know if it can be compared to it, but the flattery has already been photographed.
If Xu Xing hadn't revealed his identity to his parents, Pei Qinglan would have praised him to the sky, as long as Xu Xing could continue to provide her with high-quality projects.
…
The meal ended very happily, and we continued eating until about eight o'clock in the evening.
Yan Hongzhi paid at the front desk and was the last one to walk out of the hotel and into the parking lot next to it.
Nine people gathered here, said goodbye to each other, and prepared to go back to their homes.
In the evening, Yan Hongzhi, Xu Jian and Pei Qinglan all drank, and Qu Yaru drove home with her husband and son.
Sun Wanhui also prepared to drive back with someone, but her son had already run away with them.
"Mom, I'll go back later."
"I got it, go away, go away." Sun Wanhui watched Xu Xing walking towards Yan Chijuan's car, immediately waved her hand, took Xu Jian into the car and left.
On the other side, Pei Qinglan drank, and Yao Yuanyuan went to drive her car to take her back. In the end, only Xu Xing and Yan Chiju were left.
"Let's go." Xu Xing walked to the driver's door, took out the car key from Yan Chijuan's pocket, took the initiative to sit in and hold the steering wheel, "I'll take you back."
"Actually, I can just go back by myself." Yan Chijie said this, but he still sat in the passenger seat obediently, and was a little happy to put on his seat belt.
But the next second, Xu Xing had already leaned over, pulled out the seat belt for her with his own hands, fastened it for her securely, and kissed her on the cheek: "Sit tight."
He fastened his seat belt, Xu Xing started the car, and drove by himself for the first time in a long time.
Since getting his driver's license, Xu Xing hasn't driven much. Basically, Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian drive him. As a boss, he can just sit in the passenger seat and enjoy the ride safely and comfortably.
Yan Chijiu also knew that Xu Xing sent her off because of what happened at the bathroom door today.
In addition, he met his divorced father unpreparedly, and his father even appeared in front of Yan Chijuan with his newly formed family.
