Chapter 257 Professor Lu Man’s image of the perfect son-in-law
After Chen Zhu returned to the boys' dormitory, he talked to a few nervous roommates and reassured them that they don't need to be too nervous. With your level, you can pass.
Then he and Yu Xian talked on the phone for a while before going to take a shower and go to bed.
At this time, the lights in the dormitory were turned off. Chen Zhu checked QQ out of habit and found that whether it was a group of friends or a class group of university and high school, almost everyone was discussing the CET-4 exam.
However, it can be seen that their mentality is relatively relaxed. First, they believe in their own strength. Second, there are many opportunities at level 4 and 6, and it is not a matter of life and death.
The next day, December 22, Chen was woken up by his roommate around 8 a.m. After washing up and changing his clothes, he went downstairs and found that the cafeteria was crowded with "examination troops." The cafeteria was full of people holding document bags and headphones.
A student.
The exam started at 9 o'clock, but the exam room was in the teaching building of the school, so Chen Zhu was not in a hurry and walked leisurely to the entrance of the exam room. Somewhat unexpectedly, he received a call from Yu Xian.
"Director Chen~"
Yu Xian was obviously still in bed, and his voice was like a cat that had just woken up, full of tiredness and laziness.
"You got up so early and you have to take the exam?"
Chen Zhu asked jokingly.
"No~"
Yu Xian should still have his eyes closed, holding a mobile phone and mumbling: "I... um... set the alarm for myself to cheer you up."
Chen Zhu was a little moved, but still joked: "It may not be motivational to work hard like this, why don't you kiss me..."
"Bah!"
Before Chen Zhu finished speaking, Yu Xian simply made a call on the phone, and then said with a soft and sleepy smile: "Director Chen, are you satisfied?"
They had exchanged their first kiss before, and because of Yu Xian's feelings for Chen Zhu, they expressed their love openly.
If it were Song Shiwei, she wouldn't kiss him but she wouldn't kiss him either. She would just listen silently to Chen Zhe's nonsense.
Speaking of sister sweet, Chen Zhu also thought of the question last night, so he teased sister cos again: "What if I don't pass the exam and can't graduate?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Yu Xian said in a majestic voice: "If you fail the exam, just stay home and take care of your children. I will paint and support you!"
"Hahaha~"
Chen Zhu also laughed, but this conversation made Yu Xian feel sleepy immediately. He simply got up to wash up and put on makeup while talking on the speakerphone.
Chen Zhu knew very well that he would not pass based on his own level, so he did not try to memorize a few words before the exam like other students. The two of them kept talking nonsense until 8:45, before Chen Zhu walked into the examination room.
Security inspection of electronic equipment, one person per person, sealed test papers... These strict measures really made it feel like the college entrance examination.
However, when he saw the real test paper, Chen Zhu still felt a sense of frustration, because starting with listening was a bit like listening to a bible.
"In the end, let's just choose all C's honestly."
Of course, Chen Zhu was not like some people who didn't understand, so he turned his earphones to the music channel and listened to Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain".
At heart he still thinks like a good student and respects the hard work of the teacher who set the questions.
It's one thing not to know how to do it, but your attitude in answering questions is still very respectful.
After finally staying up until 11:20, the bell to end the exam finally rang, and Chen Zhu walked out of the exam room relieved.
There are not many students who have the right answers, and there is indeed no way to check their English, but they all complain about time constraints, blurred hearing, and difficulty in writing essays...
Chen Zhu walked out of the examination room with his headphones in hand, and suddenly saw Song Shiwei standing in the corridor, a standard beauty with an oval face as smooth as jade, staring into the unknown distance.
"I didn't say yesterday that we were going to have dinner together after the exam."
Chen Zhu was thinking to himself and walked over to say hello: "How did you know I was in this examination room?"
"I saw you this morning."
Song Shiwei replied.
"Then why didn't you call me?"
Chen Zhu was a little curious.
Song Shiwei glanced at Chen Zhu and said quietly: "You are on the phone."
"Oh oh oh..."
Only then did Chen Zhu know the reason, but she probably saw it from a distance and didn't know that she and Yu Xian were talking on the phone.
At that time, he should have a smile on his face. Would this make Song Shiwei doubtful?
Chen Zhu thought about it in his mind and did not take the initiative to ask insinuating words. Sister Sweet is very smart. If she keeps asking questions about what she wants to hide, she may expose more flaws in the end.
It's like being a leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission and pretending to be an upright official until he takes action.
So Chen Zhu didn't explain much and changed the subject and asked Song Shiwei how the exam was going.
"good."
Based on Song Shiwei's English level of 140+ in the college entrance examination, it must not be difficult. She did not return to the dormitory, but directly planned to leave school.
"My aunt and brother-in-law went back to Guangzhou to visit relatives."
Song Shiwei explained: "Auntie will have dinner with our family at noon."
"Then let me take you to the door."
Chen Zhu said thoughtfully.
Today is the winter solstice, and it is normal for relatives to celebrate the festival together.
Surrounded by freshmen in groups of three or three, they seemed to be in a good mood because they had finished their exams and were on vacation, and they were talking freely about where to go and play in the afternoon.
Originally, Chen Zhu was mixed in and didn't look so high-profile, but girl Song Shiwei's height of 170cm looked very outstanding, and her figure could be seen from a distance.
Even when he was approaching the door, Chen Zhu saw a familiar car.
Black Volvo!
"Professor Lu?"
Chen Zhu hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was Professor Lu Man's car.
He also knew that Professor Lu had a high self-esteem and a rather disdainful attitude toward himself.
But at this moment, the driver's window slowly rolled down, revealing Song Zuomin's handsome and handsome middle-aged face, smiling kindly at Chen Cheng and Song Shiwei.
"It turns out to be Director Song..."
Chen Zhu immediately felt relieved. Song Zuomin was relatively kind to him. Although he did not support his daughter's contact with Chen Zhu, he did not object in action.
For people like him, not opposing is actually a kind of support in disguise.
Chen Zhu was about to go over and say hello, but the windows in the back of the Volvo slowly rolled down, revealing Professor Lu Man's jade-faced face.
Professor Lu is actually very beautiful. Especially today, maybe for the family gathering, he dressed up a little, which made him look even more refined.
But she stared at Chen Zhu intently, her eyebrows tightened, and her eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses contained anger and dissatisfaction.
"Damn! Can you two stop driving together?"
Chen Zhu couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Dr. Song, you drive your Mercedes-Benz S600, leaving the Volvo to Professor Lu only, so that we can distinguish clearly and it will not be so embarrassing."
"I won't give it away."
Chen Zhu stopped and shrugged his shoulders.
He was not afraid of Professor Lu at all, but he was worried that she would not be able to control her temper and would jump out of the car and yell at her, making both of them look bad.
Song Shiwei also saw his parents at this time, especially the expression on his mother's face. He probably understood Chen Zhu's thoughts, and gently tapped his round chin: "Okay, happy winter solstice."
After saying that, she walked a few steps quickly and got into the car.
With a muffled "bang" of the car door, the Volvo slowly drove away from the school gate among the crowd.
But the atmosphere in the car was not harmonious. Lu Man looked unhappy, while Song Shiwei looked out the window expressionlessly.
Seeing his daughter's indifference without saying hello, Professor Lu, who was extremely controlling, felt that the anger in his heart that should be vented against Chen Zhu could no longer be suppressed.
But today is the winter solstice, and we had an appointment with my sister and her family to have dinner, so Song Zuomin and Lu Mancai came to school together to pick up their daughter.
With Lu Man's need for control, she endured it for a long time before calming down. Finally, she just said stiffly: "I have told you so many times to have less contact with Chen Zhu, do you understand?"
According to Song Shiwei's behavior in the past, she would just seem to be unable to hear, silently looking at the trees passing by outside the window, digesting these emotions in her heart.
Even Lu Man thought so, so he just planned to say this more and then stop worrying about it.
Who would have thought...
"Why?"
Song Shi turned his head slightly and looked at his mother calmly.
Lu Man didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been obedient, would be so rebellious today?
In fact, that's not right. Ever since I got close to Chen Zhu, I felt that she was becoming more and more disobedient and seemed to be becoming more and more difficult to control.
"he……"
Lu Man said angrily: "He might be trying to defraud you of your money!"
"Chen Zhu has already returned the 50,000 yuan I borrowed to me."
Song Shiwei retorted without a hint of fireworks.
"You made more than 3 million yuan from stock trading, how can he not be tempted?"
Lu Man raised another question. She currently has a principled objection to Chen Zhu, so the filter of the colored glasses is very thick, so that whatever Chen Zhu does is wrong.
"I once wanted to invest all my money in him..."
Song Shiwei told his parents.
Lu Man raised his eyebrows and was about to accuse, when he heard Song Shiwei continue: "But he refused. Chen Zhu said he wanted to rely on himself."
"Just playing hard to get..."
Lu Man sneered and was about to continue belittling Chen Zhu.
"Okay, stop talking!"
Song Zuomin, who was driving, with a little anger in his mouth, stopped his wife's unreasonable behavior in a deep voice.
But Lu Man is not afraid, because she always has this point of view in her heart - everything is for the good of her daughter.
"Why do you still have such a big opinion against Chen Zhu?"
Song Zuomin expressed his opinion right away. He was on his daughter's side.
"Chen's conversational skills and abilities are both good."
Song Zuomin said: "You should know about Lao Liang from the TV station. I took Chen Zhu to socialize once and immediately praised him full of praise. He praised him for his courage, structure and high emotional intelligence. He also envied me for finding someone..."
"cough!"
Song Zuomin coughed. The word "son-in-law" was not suitable to be spoken in this environment, so he said instead: "You don't like Chen Zhu. I don't think it's because of the family. There is nothing to criticize about Chen Zhu's family.
"
"You just felt that Chen Zhu was not the boyfriend you imagined, so you intervened."
Song Zuomin was worthy of being a husband, and he understood his wife's thoughts very thoroughly. He left Lu Man speechless with just one sentence.
This made Song Shiwei a little surprised. In her mother's heart, what kind of conditions did she like?
"Probably like your sister-in-law's husband."
Song Zuomin said directly.
Now that things have happened, Lu Man simply stopped hiding it and his tone became gentler: "Your brother-in-law graduated from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school, and now works in a Wall Street investment bank. He is truly a world-class financial talent.
"
"Chen is here."
Lu Man shook his head and said: "No matter how hard he works on that website, it will always have a rustic flavor due to issues of vision and level. There is no way he can compare with the business elites on Wall Street."
"Let's get in touch first during this meal."
Lu Man said sincerely: "In the future, my mother will ask him to find a better boy for you on Wall Street. I won't believe it. Huihui's appearance and temperament are completely inferior to Weiwei. She can find a good husband. My daughter
Can’t find it?”
"Hui Hui" is Song Shiwei's aunt.
"A daughter is not a tool you use to compare and show off in the family."
Song Zuomin sneered and mocked.
Lu Man frowned again: "What is a tool to show off? I am doing this for her own good! Weiwei and Chen Zhuzhen are together. We will have dinner at home later and we will talk about current affairs and the economy. He, a domestic website developer, has the nerve to speak up.
?”
"Don't underestimate this website."
Song Zuomin squinted his eyes and said: "As far as I know, the profit level is very exaggerated."
"So what?"
Lu Man pursed his red lips with a look of disdain: "Is our family short of money? Sometimes [name] is more important than [money]. Can Chen Zhu become famous on Wall Street? Can he be at the top of the world's financial field?
Do you want to leave your own voice?"
Song Zuomin choked. From this point of view, Chen Zhu did have an inherent disadvantage.
but……
Song Zuomin continued to support Chen Zhu: "What you are talking about is just now. Chen Zhu is just a freshman. Even if undergraduates from Zhongda Ling College apply for a world-famous business school, the passing rate is very high. Chen Zhu can go to graduate school after graduating from the undergraduate program.
Yeah."
"What if Chen Zhu also goes to a business school in a school like Pennsylvania or Columbia to further his studies?"
Song Zuomin glanced at his wife through the rearview mirror: "And he also managed to stay on Wall Street. At that time..."
"Then I agree."
Lu Man said cheerfully.
Chen Zhu's appearance is not bad, and the family can do it if he can do it. If he really meets the conditions for his favorite son-in-law at that time, and he will be very face-to-face when introduced to his family, then what reason is there to object?
"Huh~"
Song Zuomin also breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting a chance for his daughter and Chen Zhu.
I hope he can take advantage of it and strive to study abroad for postgraduate studies after graduating from Lingnan University.
Lao Song believed in Chen Zhu more. With this kid's ability, as long as he was willing, it shouldn't be a problem.
"slight."
Lu Man's tone was kind, with an expression on his face that said, "Thank me, I'll give you, this star-crossed couple, a chance."
She smiled and said: "Mom is not the kind of mother who is very controlling. She tries every means to stop her daughter from falling in love. All of this is for your own good."
But after waiting for a while, Lu Man was disappointed that his daughter did not show the "gratitude" he expected.
Song Shiwei's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were no longer as calm as the seabed as before. The accumulated emotions were like a volcano erupting under the sea, bursting out a suppressed rebellious tsunami.
"Mother."
Song Shiwei's tone was as clear as ever, but it contained questions: "Why should I choose a boyfriend according to your wishes? Why can't I choose the person I want to talk to? And then do it in a free way that I like? And...
"
Song Shiwei paused and said, "I don't think Chen Zhuhui can't compare to the so-called Wall Street elites."
Lu Man was stunned for a long time, his face suddenly turned red and white, and his lips seemed to be trembling with anger.
Since my daughter was ten years old, her husband became busy with work and put all his energy into Song Shiwei, "strengthening" her education and discipline.
In all these years, she has never spoken back so firmly.
Now, my daughter actually quarreled with me because of a boy?
After Lu Man realized what he was doing, he was furious and about to explode.
Suddenly, Song Zuomin suddenly stopped. He sighed and said, "We're at the hotel, let's eat first."
