Chapter 2120: Love Between Sichuan and Rong (1)
Zhuang Shurong said that she and Mu Tangchuan only met a few times before they decided to get married.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not just a few times that they met, that is, they only had close contact a few times before marriage. In fact, they had met many times before.
Both of them were influential figures in A University. Zhuang Shurong was a very outstanding student in the law department of A University at that time. Mu Tangchuan not only had excellent grades but was also the school hunk at that time. His legend was no less than that of Xi Mushan at that time.
However, Mu Tangchuan himself was a relatively gentle and low-key person. Most of his time was spent on study and work.
The family style of the Mu family was very strict, especially for people like Wang Hui who were in high positions, they paid more attention to the education and quality of their children.
Mu Tangchuan was strictly required since he was a child. Although his father Mu Yinan was a businessman and was very romantic before, he made a complete change after marrying Wang Hui. Now he obeys his wife's orders.
The society of that era was not like it is now. Communication was not developed, and people's concepts were still relatively conservative.
Mobile phones were not very popular, and the way young people communicated with each other was mostly to write love letters and pass notes.
Zhuang Shurong was also very famous in A University at that time. She was the only precious granddaughter of the military leader Zhuang Da. Her father was the president of a large company, her mother was the Minister of Education of the Province, and her grandmother was a university professor. She was a scholarly family. With such a strong family background, she was beautiful, elegant, and had excellent grades. There were countless people chasing her.
However, Zhuang Shurong was also a person who was enthusiastic about studying and working. She never took these children's private affairs to heart. From childhood to adulthood, she rejected countless people who admired her, breaking the hearts of those young boys.
Mu Tangchuan thought about it. The first time he heard the name Zhuang Shurong was when he was in his senior year and was about to graduate.
The summer of that year came earlier than in previous years.
After the seven-day May Day holiday, the weather was very hot, and there was no wind in the air.
At that time, most of the senior students had finished their graduation papers and were busy looking for jobs, internships, or were directly assigned to work units according to the school's arrangements.
At that time, the policy for college students was still very good. Colleges and universities did not expand their enrollment, and the threshold for college admission was not as low as it is now. At that time, college students had jobs assigned to them. Those who studied at University A were all top students, so the treatment was generally very good.
Of course, it was only May, and it was not time to get the graduation certificate yet. There was still a very critical link before getting the graduation certificate.
That was the thesis defense.
Mu Tangchuan had a good idea of his job assignment.
It should be staying in the city. Wang Hui had already made a call before and went directly to the government agency.
He did not reject such an arrangement, because he had already positioned himself in his mind when he chose the school.
He did not like doing business, so it was impossible for him to take over his father Mu Yinan's prosperous life. He was also afraid of the hard work of joining the army, so the only choice was to go into politics.
After the holiday, Mu Tangchuan stayed in school to prepare for thesis defense. Of course, he was still working part-time at that time, as a waiter in a large bar in the city. At that time, bars didn't seem to be called that. They were called nightclubs, and singing was not called KTV, but karaoke.
Mu Tangchuan often went to such places on weekdays. Of course, it was not his intention. Zhou Zhenjun and his people always dragged him there. Su Zhengxun was also sanctimonious. Although he looked serious, he had a lot of fun there. He was the only one who was relatively well-behaved, because he was really a little afraid of going home and getting a beating.
He had been beaten by Wang Hui since he was a child. Wang Hui only restrained himself when he grew up.
Zhou Zhenjun didn't need to be mentioned. His father was a person who couldn't control his temper, and he came from the battlefield. If Zhou Zhenjun didn't listen, he would be beaten at any time. He would be beaten every three days and beaten every five days. This was commonplace.
When I was a kid, I could hear Zhou Zhenjun crying and screaming in the military compound almost every day. Su Zhengxun would occasionally go over and ask Zhou Zhenjun, who was lying on the bench, if it hurt. Zhou Zhenjun often spat at him and scolded him for not being loyal enough and running away when something happened!
After growing up, these corporal punishments were reduced a lot.
…
"Tangchuan, it's time to eat. Let's go get food together!"
At the desk in the dormitory, Mu Tangchuan was sorting out the framework of his thesis defense. Meng Xi, his roommate at the next table, suddenly reminded him.
Meng Xi was Mu Tangchuan's upper bunk and was a good friend of Mu Tangchuan.
Mu Tangchuan looked up at the alarm clock in front of him. It was already eleven thirty-five. The canteen of A University opened for dinner at eleven o'clock.
"Hurry up, school is almost over. There will be a lot of people waiting for the first, second and third year students to finish their classes."
Like all students, they certainly don't like to queue up for meals, so Meng Xi urged them.
A University has a lot of people, and there are several campuses. They are in the East Campus, which has more than 20,000 people. There are only three cafeterias, including the teachers' cafeteria, so it is usually very crowded during meal times.
"Okay."
Mu Tangchuan quickly put down his pen, went to get his lunch box, and followed Meng Xi out the door.
After arriving at the cafeteria and getting his meal, he suddenly remembered that Shen Wenna seemed to have caught a cold these days and had no appetite when passing by the grocery store. Mu Tangchuan asked Meng Xi to help him bring the meal to the dormitory, and he bought a strawberry ice cream and some fruits for Shen Wenna, thinking of sending them to her.
Shen Wenna was the daughter of Uncle Shen, who was a comrade-in-arms with his mother, so they also had contacts on weekdays. Mu Tangchuan had only one sister, Mu Zixi, who was a little rebellious and not that close to him as an elder brother, but he liked Shen Wenna very much. She was quiet, and he admitted that he liked her a little bit.
Before, his mother had told him that she hoped he could pursue Shen Wenna and marry her into the Mu family as a daughter-in-law.
However, he felt very sorry when he heard that Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan, who was a school idol, were a couple. Later, he put all these thoughts aside and directly protected Shen Wenna as if she were his own sister.
"Look! Someone confessed to Zhuang Shurong again!"
"Oh, there's a banner and roses!"
"Look, isn't that Xu Rumeng from the Department of Mechanical Engineering?"
"He's really persistent. This is the third time this semester, right?"
"Only he dares to do this. He's really a playboy. I heard that his father is a big merchant in our city and his family is very rich. He has liked Zhuang Shurong for several years. He fell in love with her at first sight since his freshman year. He has been chasing her for four years but still hasn't gotten her. How hard must it be to chase Zhuang Shurong!"
