Chapter 650 Visit
Xu Chunliang originally planned to go back to Dongzhou tomorrow, but after much deliberation, he should visit Mr. Qiao.
The reason why I didn’t go to Qiao’s house this time was mainly because Qiao Rulong met him privately and asked him to treat Ye Lao.
Before going to Qiao’s house, Xu Chunliang contacted Qiao Rulong first. Qiao Rulong told him that he was on a business trip in Xiangjiang and asked him to go there directly.
Qiao Rulong is very reassuring about Xu Chunliang's work. Although this future brother-in-law is young, he has a good sense of proportion and is very clear about what to say and what not to say.
Xu Chunliang called Mei Ruxue again, and Mei Ruxue told him that the two aunts were in the capital for the past few days, and he happened to be able to meet them in the past.
When Xu Chunliang heard that there were so many people in Qiao's family, he backed down a little. He wanted to talk to Mr. Qiao alone, but he didn't want to face the inspection of the whole family. He remembered that a group of people surrounded him and asked questions Xi has a big head.
Mei Ruxue could guess his hesitation through the phone, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, my two aunts are very good to me."
Xu Chunliang said: "The better you are, the more picky you are. I'd better wait until the next time I come to the capital to visit."
Mei Ruxue said: "I thought you were fearless."
Xu Chunliang said: "I care about their opinions because I care about you."
Mei Ruxue said: "Anyway, you're the one who makes the most sense."
Xu Chunliang thought this was the end of the story. He just booked a ticket back to Dongzhou tonight. Ye Qingya called and asked him to go to Qiao's house for dinner, but it was Qiao Rulong who greeted her. Tell Joe about this.
Because Mr. Qiao personally gave the order, Xu Chunliang had to change the ticket. The ugly daughter-in-law also had to see her in-laws. Sooner or later, she still had to meet Mei Ruxue's two aunts.
Xu Chunliang also heard from Mei Ruxue in the past that his aunt Qiao Yuanhong and uncle Wang Zhenjiang were both national academicians.
My sister-in-law Qiao Yuanlan is a well-known jewelry designer. She currently focuses her business overseas and is the chief designer of the famous luxury brand Bulgari. Her uncle is the president of Huaguang Technology and is headquartered in NEW Jiapo.
It can be said that the sons and daughters of the Qiao family are already leaders in all walks of life, which is a height that ordinary people cannot reach in their lifetime, but Mr. Qiao is still unwilling. None of these sons and daughters can surpass themselves.
Among them, Qiao Yuanshan, the father of Qiao Rulong and Mei Ruxue, was once his favorite, but unfortunately he failed to pass the test of love characters. have no idea.
Eldest son Qiao Yuanjiang is in politics, but he is not as good as Qiao Yuanshan in all aspects. The current position is already his limit, and it is impossible to go any further.
Fortunately, Qiao Rulong abandoned business and went into politics, and now all the hopes of the Qiao family are pinned on him.
Xu Chunliang specially brought some local products to Qiao’s house. It’s always bad to visit empty-handed. If you bring too expensive gifts, your motives are not so pure. Fortunately, the Dongzhou Office in Beijing has a lot of local products from Dongzhou. Xu Chunliang bought some, although Li Xiumei didn't want to take money, but Xu Chunliang was very cautious in this regard, taking advantage of such a small advantage was easy to be taken for fuss.
Just as he was preparing the gift, he received a call from Ye Qingya. Mr. Qiao was very thoughtful and asked Ye Qingya to pick him up.
Ye Qingya saw Xu Chunliang moving things into the car, and came to help, Xu Chunliang asked her to rest, this kind of strenuous work is a man's job.
Ye Qingya couldn't help but said: "You're quite machismo, why did you ask you to bring so many things for dinner?"
Xu Chunliang said: "They are all local products, give them to Mr. Qiao to taste." He closed the trunk and went to sit in the back.
Ye Qingya started the car, glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said, "You didn't take the initiative to mention it these days, and Rulong and I didn't tell Grandpa about your coming to the capital."
Xu Chunliang knew what she meant to remind himself to keep the secret of seeing Mr. Ye a doctor, and said with a smile: "I didn't want to disturb the old man, but Ruxue insisted that I come over for her."
Ye Qingya smiled and said: "Sooner or later we are a family, why bother?"
"Are there many people at home today?"
Ye Qingya said: "The two aunts have returned, but none of their children have followed."
Xu Chunliang calmed down a little, so that there would not be too many people to deal with.
Ye Qingya said: "Are there any new works recently?"
Xu Chunliang was taken aback by her question, but he immediately realized that Ye Qingya should be referring to calligraphy.
"No, I have been busy with work and study during this time, and have no time to write."
Ye Qingya said: "Your calligraphy level is so high, if you practice hard, you should be able to become a master of the generation."
Xu Chunliang laughed: "Don't say that, I know what level I am, I copy everything I write, and I don't have my own style."
It's not that Ye Qingya has never seen his calligraphy works before, she sighed in her heart, Xu Chunliang's calligraphy is so modest even in such a state, what should she be proud of? She is outstanding, but after seeing Xu Chunliang, she realized that the saying that there are people beyond others and beyond others is indeed true.
What Ye Qingya said just now was not a compliment. She thought that Xu Chunliang's calligraphy skills could be used for a solo exhibition. She suggested: "Why don't you provide me with a few works, and I will help you sign up for the competition. I believe you can get good results." .”
Ye Qingya said: "This is an opportunity to join the Calligraphy Association."
"Why do I join the Book Association?"
Ye Qingya was stunned by his questioning. In her opinion, isn't it necessary to join the Calligraphy Association when calligraphy reaches a certain level? After thinking for a while, he replied: "You can communicate with other calligraphers."
When Xu Chunliang met Ye Qingya for the first time, he knew the faces of the people in the Book Association. He didn't want to be in this circle full of hypocrisy and flattery. He shook his head and said, "I never thought about going to this side Development, there is a saying that is good, if you are not in this circle, don’t squeeze in, even if you squeeze in, you will be out of tune with others.”
Ye Qingya said: "Aren't you already in this circle? One of the tasks that the Culture and Tourism Bureau is responsible for is cultural activities. If we want to hold an art exhibition and calligraphy exhibition, we must first obtain the approval of the Culture and Tourism Department. You will have to deal with the Calligraphy Association in the future."
Even if Ye Qingya didn't say anything, Xu Chunliang didn't even realize that the Bureau of Culture and Tourism had so much control over it.
Ye Qingya drove into the gate smoothly.
Xu Chunliang thought that if he came here by himself, someone would have to come out to pick him up. It is not so easy for ordinary people to meet Mr. Qiao.
Xu Chunliang asked Ye Qingya how to address the two aunts later.
Ye Qingya smiled and said, "Just call me Auntie."
Xu Chunliang said: "I dare to call, but people may not agree."
Ye Qingya said: "Then just use you as your address, I don't know much about the world in this area."
She parked the car, Xu Chunliang hurriedly got out of the car to get things, when Mei Ruxue's uncle Wang Zhenjiang came out.
Ye Qingya said: "Uncle! This is Xiao Xu."
Wang Zhenjiang came to help, and smiled at Xu Chunliang: "My surname is Wang."
Xu Chunliang called Uncle Wang. Although he and Mei Ruxue were in a relationship, they were not married after all, so it would be rude to call him uncle.
Wang Zhenjiang said: "Why do you buy so many gifts?"
Xu Chunliang said: "They are all local specialties, and they are also what Grandpa Qiao likes to eat." In fact, Mr. Qiao likes to eat these, it's all because of his nonsense.
Ye Qingya went in first, Wang Zhenjiang and Xu Chunliang walked in together, Wang Zhenjiang looked at Xu Chunliang from time to time: "I heard you work in Dongzhou?" After all, he is engaged in scientific research and is not good at dealing with people.
Xu Chunliang said: "I am a native of Dongzhou, and I haven't worked for a long time. This time I came to Beijing to study."
Wang Zhenjiang nodded again and again: "It is a good thing that young people love to study, which proves that they are self-motivated."
Xu Chunliang said: "Uncle Wang, I heard that you are an academician of the Academy of Sciences?"
Wang Zhenjiang smiled lightly: "It's just a nerd."
"You have learned a lot, I respect you the most for a learned person."
The series of flattery made Wang Zhenjiang feel a little comfortable.
The two of them entered the living room, and Xu Chunliang called out without seeing him at all: "Grandpa Qiao, I'm here."
Old Qiao walked over with his hands behind his back, but there was no smile on his face: "You kid, you have been in the capital for so many days, but why don't you come to see me?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Don't be offended, old man. I'm busy with my studies. I finally have time today. I'll ask Brother Long to make an appointment."
"Do you still need to make an appointment with me?"
"I'm afraid to disturb your old rest."
Old Joe saw that he brought so many things: "I asked you to come to eat, what are you doing with so many things?"
"They are all Dongzhou specialties. I will give you a fresh taste. There is nothing valuable. Miscellaneous grains, duck eggs, and goose eggs are all pure green food."
Old Qiao asked Wang Zhenjiang to take everything in, and asked Xu Chunliang to sit in the living room.
At this time, a graceful and luxurious beauty came over. She was Mei Ruxue's sister-in-law Qiao Yuanlan.
Xu Chunliang greeted: "Hi sister!"
Although Qiao Yuanlan took good care of her, she was forty years old after all. When she heard him call her sister, she couldn't help giggling: "Did you make a mistake and call me sister? I'm Mei Ruxue's sister-in-law. "
Xu Chunliang was dumbfounded, his mouth was so wide open that he could stuff a big goose egg in, this guy opened his eyes and said nonsense: "You are Xiaoxue's aunt, she didn't tell me that you were so young, she just told me that her sister-in-law is very beautiful all day long. "
Qiao Yuanlan smiled so that her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed into slits. Qiao Lao shook his head. This kid is very good at coaxing women. The key is that women like to hear this kind of nonsense without blushing or heartbeat.
