Chapter 2163 Stealing the Show

The "close friends" Aunt Liu's family that Director Fang mentioned for the first time that Zheng Jiayi heard about should actually be Uncle Lin's family.

Aunt Liu works in the health system and is currently retired. Her official career has stopped at the division level. However, because she was in charge of the Medical Administration and Medical Management Office, she was considered a relatively popular person when she was in office.

Because people with power or money attach great importance to health. They don't spend their own money on medical treatment, or they don't care about spending money. Therefore, even if it is a cold, it is best to have it diagnosed by the most famous expert.

At that time, the phone number of Aunt Liu, or Director Liu, was easier to use.

If we simply talk about achievements, Uncle Lin is obviously higher. He is now the person in charge of a large state-owned enterprise in the province, with over 10,000 employees, and it seems that the results are pretty good so far.

Although there are regulations that the spouses and children of leading cadres at the division level and above are not allowed to engage in business, there is an exception for those who want to work in state-owned enterprises.

Uncle Lin is tall, probably because he has worked in the corporate system for a long time. He is cheerful and generous, and he has the feeling of a southerner and a northerner.

As soon as they met, they immediately fell in love with Zheng Bogan.

The mothers are more reserved, or considerate, and start by praising each other's children.

"Jiayi, let Auntie take a look. It's true that she has become a girl. She's getting better and better. You know, I was also there when you were born that year."

Although the words about a woman's eighteenth birthday should be a compliment, when Zheng Jiayi looked at Aunt Liu, she immediately felt that the main meaning of her words was to say that she was not so good-looking before.

Looking at the way she looked at her carefully, she really felt that the other party was insinuating that she was using medical methods, so she "became more and more beautiful".

But she really didn't want to compete with such a middle-aged and elderly woman, so she politely said "Thank you!"

Director Fang also started over there, "Zixuan, you are getting more and more handsome. You have perfectly inherited the advantages of your father and mother."

"But don't you bear grudges against your aunt? When you were in school, your aunt was quite strict with you, but that was for your own good. Look, your studies went so smoothly later on,"

Lin Zixuan, who was wearing a crisp suit and didn't even wear a sweater in such weather, also said, "Thank you, auntie,"

But Zheng Jiayi glanced briefly and could see the slight embarrassment on the face of the elite-looking man.

Come on, although it was also a compliment, Zheng Jiayi heard another meaning from her mother's words. That classmate Lin Zixuan, at least as a student, was not that outstanding, so she was asked to teach her specially.

The words "My studies went so smoothly later on" can be regarded as a compliment, or it can also be said that it was unexpected.

This in turn shows that his initial results were not very reassuring, or it may imply that his subsequent "success" may have a hidden meaning...

In short, at this moment, Zheng Jiayi, who believed that she was already a qualified spokesperson, deeply felt that she had been taught a lesson. The two mothers were so praised by others that they were so "meaningful," so natural, which made her feel, There are still many areas that need to be refined in my professional skills.

"This is a restaurant that Zixuan spent a lot of time picking out this week. He has eaten there himself. He said it is of the same level as this one, with authentic Japanese flavor. It is on par with famous restaurants in Tokyo. Their company Those Japanese executives also like this restaurant very much," Aunt Liu added.

"Speaking of which, Zixuan only has time today. Tomorrow at noon, he has to fly to Japan again. Japanese people do things professionally, but it makes people feel a bit dull. Everything is equal, so Zixuan often Flying around like this,"

This praise of one's own children is also very tactful.

It was so tactful that Zheng Jiayi felt a little uncomfortable.

She naturally understood the point of Aunt Liu's words. Lin Zixuan was very important in the company and was recognized by people including Japanese executives.

"This restaurant looks really good, Zixuan is really a thoughtful kid," Director Fang said, "Jiayi, you should learn from this in the future. Don't just be indifferent to certain things just because you have a good relationship with Mr. Feng. Learn from Zixuan, and while doing your own essential work, you should also think more about his life."

"Don't always wait for him to take you to a restaurant, but also think about what kind of restaurant he will like,"

"Don't be too casual when you are working. It is excusable for you not to attend such a meeting with him tonight, but you will definitely not do it next time."

Although this criticism of one's own children is direct, it always makes people feel that the purpose is not to criticize, but to show off the relationship between Zheng Jiayi and Feng Yiping - how can those Japanese executives compare with Feng Yiping?

And Feng Yiping valued her so much that he even had to bring her with him to such meetings with provincial leaders.

Even if Lin Zixuan went to Japan, he would only meet executives from Japanese companies.

Zheng Jiayi felt that the mothers were stealing the show too much. It seemed that the theme of tonight was for me to meet Lin Zixuan?

They have always been the protagonists, so even after retirement, are they not willing to be lonely?

At this time, Uncle Lin said, "We're here, please sit down wherever you want."

We happened to have arrived at their private room.

This sentence finally made the two mothers who were trying to steal the show temporarily stop.

It was said that they were sitting casually, but in fact, two families were sitting on opposite sides. As soon as they sat down, Zheng Jiayi strongly agreed with Feng Yiping's statement that Japanese restaurants are somewhat anti-human.

Although there was a cushion for cushioning and no formal kneeling required, she felt that it was quite difficult for everyone, including herself, to sit in this private room.

Parents, this is mainly because they all have bellies.

As for her, she really couldn't sit with her legs spread like her parents did, she could only sit on her knees.

Fortunately, her mother obviously thought about herself and finally chose a long skirt for her. Otherwise, wearing pants would be even more awkward in such a posture.

After sitting down, the mothers and fathers seemed to be having a good conversation.

The mothers were talking about Ms. Margaret Chan, who had just been successfully elected as the Director-General of the World Health Organization. Although one mother focused on the position of Director-General, the other mother focused on the functions of the WHO.

The fathers talked more, from the completion of the Three Gorges Dam to the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and then talked about the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation held in Beijing last month...

The two juniors sitting opposite each other were left with nothing to say.

It's not like he has nothing to talk about. Lin Zixuan, who is three years older than Zheng Jiayi and has entered his thirties, can still cope with such a scene.

By the way, this one is also sitting on his knees, which looks quite authentic.

It seemed that he had paid a lot of money to his Japanese colleagues from their car company—perhaps senior executives, and they went out to eat together.

"Jiayi, this must be your first time meeting me, but I have known you for a long time. When I was in the United States, I often saw you appearing in various media and TV," Lin Zixuan smiled gently.

"You know, my friends at that time, including those from the United States, called you 'the most beautiful spokeswoman in Silicon Valley,'"

"Thanks,"

Zheng Jiayi finally glanced at the other party without hesitation.

It's double eyelids, well, someone has single eyelids.

Others, it seems..., but overall, he is indeed quite passable. He seems to be a very clean and mature person - after all, he is already 30.

Unlike someone who is the father of two children, he sometimes looks a little childish.

"Are you in the United States, are you working or studying?" Zheng Jiayi asked.

It's not that it's not too cool to be too quiet because both parents are here, but it's the minimum courtesy to have a conversation like this at this time.

"The graduate school I studied in the United States was certainly not Harvard or Yale. It was an ordinary university that you may not be familiar with, the University of Miami."

Classmate Lin's words made Zheng Jiayi feel good about him. Generally, people who can talk like this in front of girls are usually a little open-minded.

"You are too modest. As the number one university among the eight public Ivy League universities, the University of Miami's international ranking is actually no worse than Harvard and Yale," said Zheng Jiayi, who is also the spokesperson of NEXTDOOR after all. She still has such common sense.

"We have been to Ohio State for an inspection, and we originally wanted to visit the University of Miami, but the schedule was too tight,"

"Oh," Lin Zixuan, who had always had a smile on his face, was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little embarrassed.

"I'm not talking about the University of Miami in Ohio, I'm talking about UM, the University of Miami, located in Florida,"

Zheng Jiayi was stunned for a moment, this was really embarrassing.

I can only blame the two universities. In Chinese, both are University of Miami, one is MU and the other is UM, which is also easy to confuse.

Although the names are the same, the quality of the two universities is very different. Miami University in Ohio is one of the public universities that American students most want to attend.

Although the University of Miami in Florida is not bad, it is more famous for being one of the well-known Party\Schools in the United States.

The so-called Party\School is judged based on, but not limited to, how many girls in the school wear bikinis, how often they wear bikinis, how close they are to the beach (lake), how often they get drunk, the sun coefficient, etc...

Therefore, these schools will be very comfortable, because Americans are not particular about wearing bikinis on the beach to bask in the sun. As long as the sun is good enough, they will wear bikinis and lie on the school grass at any time...

Well, think about it if you often see girls wearing bikinis on the school lawn, it would be a weird feeling!

One is ranked high internationally, sometimes even better than the well-known Yale University, but one, even in the United States, is generally ranked around 50th.

To put it bluntly, if you really want to study, naturally go to MU, but if you want to wander, UM is the right choice.

Zheng Jiayi took a sip of tea, which also reminded her that she must be careful about such mistakes in the future, "Oh, it's pretty good. Not only is it warm over there, but your school's environment is famous for being good,"

Fortunately, Lin Zixuan saw that she knew so much about the relevant situation, so he said, "Based on my academic performance, it would be good to be admitted to UM."

His words, while mocking himself, also eliminated Zheng Jiayi's embarrassment, which made Zheng Jiayi look at him again.

"I also majored in economics and management as a graduate student. I stayed in the United States for a period of time. During this period, I founded a company with several classmates. However, until all the money was burned, I neither made any achievements nor attracted venture capital, so I had no choice but to I returned to China in despair, and now I am working as an office worker in a joint venture with Japan."

"Don't listen to my mother, I'm actually just running errands,"

"We are all the same," Zheng Jiayi said.

This guy is at least quite honest, which Zheng Jiayi appreciates.

According to her experience, people in this circle are generally more concerned about their reputation, and will only try to flatter themselves whenever they get a chance.

There shouldn't be many people like Lin Zixuan who stripped away all the plastering his mother gave him.

For example, if it were someone else, when talking about college, they would probably just keep going with the wrong thing instead of clarifying it proactively.

…………

On the way home, Director Fang said to his daughter, "How is it, the one that Mom found for you is not bad, right?"

"Working in such a joint venture car, and entering the middle level, Zixuan's starting point is not low,"

"You know, Uncle Lin's company is now also supporting car companies, which is naturally very helpful for Zixuan's future growth in the company,"

"So although he is not starting his own business, this job is really good. Look at all the executives of large domestic car companies. They are all successful people. Speaking of it, they are more comfortable and have higher incomes than us. Don't you think so, Lao Zheng?"

Zheng Boshan glanced at his daughter in the rearview mirror, "I think Zixuan is a very down-to-earth child,"

"Jiayi, what do you think?"

"Ah," Zheng Jiayi, who looked out the window, seemed to have just come back to her senses, "Oh,"

"Oh? What does this mean?"

What does this mean? Someone who had dinner with two provincial leaders in the evening, for some reason, always felt like sneezing.
