Chapter 714 Blind Date?
I had some takeout at the company at noon. In the afternoon, I and Zhao Yu studied the competitors who might compete for the machine factory. After getting off work in the afternoon, Yang Dongxu walked out of the office with a frown.
After going to the supermarket to buy some clothes, Yang Dongxu drove to pick up Wu Xue.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Wu Xue asked, seeing Yang Dongxu frowning.
"It's okay." Yang Dongxu smiled and saw Wu Xue still looking directly at him and said, "The company encountered some problems on a project, and the competitors are a bit strong."
"You've done a good job, don't you need to force yourself like this?" Wu Xue said with some distress. There was a different emotion in the eyes of my colleagues.
"How do you know where the potential is if you don't push hard? Don't worry, it's not a big deal. The big deal is that there are not enough projects. Anyway, I have a lot of projects in hand." Yang Dongxu smiled comfortingly, and did not notice Wu Xue's eyes. The look is strange.
He drove Wang Qing's car, not the luxury version of the Mercedes-Benz that was standard for his chairman, so whether he was picking up Wu Xue or coming to Wu Xue's parents' residence, he drove directly in.
As a first-tier city in China, although buying a car is still a big burden for most families, it is not as uncommon as in other places. After all, luxury cars are everywhere in the city.
In most people's impressions of his driving, they just think that as a young man, his family background should be pretty good, and he should have an average level of skills for the people of the city, so he will not cause any trouble to Wu Xue and his parents.
But there must be some troubles. When we parked the car in the community, took out the gifts from the trunk and went upstairs with Wu Xue, the neighbors we met all looked at him like they were sizing up Wu Xue’s boyfriend, which made him and Wu Xue look alike. Snow is a little embarrassed.
Unlike today's big cities where neighbors seem to be strangers to each other, Wu Xue's parents lived in a family home of a state-owned enterprise. Basically they are all friends and colleagues from the same company, and the family has lived here for six or seven years. In the past two years, Wu Xue has been here frequently when he returned to China, so most people know him.
"Come on, what are you smiling at?" Seeing Yang Dongxu greeting the neighbors with a smile, Wu Xue couldn't help but give him a shy slap.
Looking sideways at Wu Xue's shy and angry look, Yang Dongxu stopped teasing her and walked quickly forward following his push. He could vaguely hear the discussions of the neighbors behind him.
"Mom. I'm back." Wu Xue took out the key and opened the door without even knocking. She pushed Yang Dongxu in and shouted into the room.
She has gained some weight after not seeing her for several years, but she can still be seen as Wu Xue’s mother, who was as beautiful as a flower when she was young, walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron.
"Xu Zi is here. I haven't seen you in a few years. She has grown so tall and strong. What else can she bring with her?" Wu Xue's mother is a traditional Chinese standard of a good wife and mother. She has followed Wu Xue's father around and worked hard all her life, but she never All without regrets.
"It's not that I'm getting stronger, I'm just getting a little fat recently." Yang Dongxu smiled and put down the gift in his hand, and looked at the Wu Xue family's residence in front of him. It is a standard unit with two bedrooms and two living rooms. It is about 60 square meters for a family to live in. It is also comfortable to wear.
"It's better to be fat, and you'll be lucky to be fat." Wu Xue's mother looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile. She became more and more satisfied. Then she thought of something and a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Then she glanced at Wu Xue who was going to the sofa. : "Why are you so lazy when guests come to your door and you don't pour tea and wash some fruits?"
"What kind of guest is Brother Xuzi? If he wants to drink tea, won't he pour it himself?" Wu Xue muttered with dissatisfaction and stood up.
"You damn girl" Wu Xue's mother pretended to be angry and wanted to hit Wu Xue, but Yang Dongxu reached out to stop her.
"It's okay, auntie. I'm not thirsty. I'll help you make something delicious today."
"No, no, you sit in the living room and watch TV for a while." Wu Xue's mother waved her hands quickly, and at the same time glared at Wu Xue even more dissatisfied: "Look at Xuzi, who is looking at you. When you get back, you will go to the sofa. Never go into the kitchen."
"Okay, okay, Brother Xuzi is good, good at studies, good character, and hardworking. You've been nagging so much since you were a child that your ears are getting calluses." Wu Xue complained and made a face at his mother.
Growing up, Yang Dongxu was undoubtedly someone else's child in the eyes of other parents. As long as Wu Xue could remember, he followed Yang Dongxu to the temple to mix meat and eat meat, and he was often talked about by his own parents.
"You damn girl." Wu Xue's mother laughed angrily. She chased after Wu Xue and slapped Wu Xue on the back. She then asked Yang Dongxu to sit down for a while and then went into the kitchen to cook.
Wu Xue went into the kitchen and washed two apples and came out. She shook the water and handed them to Yang Dongxu without wiping them. They were not so polite when they grew up together.
Just after taking a bite of the apple, Yang Dongxu heard the doorbell ringing and hurriedly put on his slippers to open the door, thinking it was Wu Xue's father coming back. Gangyi opened the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw a strange middle-aged aunt and a young man standing at the door.
The two people at his door were stunned when they saw the person opening the door. The middle-aged aunt took a step back and checked the house number to make sure it was correct, then asked the doctor: "Is this Wu Xue's house?"
"Yes, yes, please come in, Wu Xue has a guest." Yang Dongxu quickly stepped aside and greeted Wu Xue, who was still sitting on the sofa and nibbling on it.
Wu Xue stood up quickly and was stunned for a moment when she saw the two guests coming in. The woman looked familiar but she couldn't tell her name, and the man had never seen her before, so she called to the kitchen: "Mom, your friend Come on, Auntie, come in and sit down, you don’t need to change your shoes.”
Wu Xue's mother, who was holding a kitchen knife, looked sideways into the living room and walked out quickly: "Sister Wang, why are you free to come here today?"
"Aren't you coming over this afternoon to chat with old colleagues? When I heard Wu Xue came back, I took Zhibang to visit." Aunt Wang said with a smile.
He looked at Wu Xue and became more and more satisfied. He followed his son Zhibang beside him and nodded in greeting with some restraint. He saw that Wu Xue couldn't look away, but he didn't dare to look any further.
As soon as Aunt Wang's eyes fell, Wu Xue and her mother glanced at Yang Dongxu. Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Wang Zhibang, who was standing next to him with a somewhat reserved look, and for a moment he didn't know what he was feeling.
A little bit of the heartache and anger of a girl he likes being arranged on a blind date by his parents, a little bit of a brother scrutinizing his sister's blind date. In short, it seemed that he couldn't tell what it felt like if he overturned the five-flavor bottle.
"Who is this?" Seeing that Wu Xue and her daughter were looking at the young people next to them, something was wrong. Aunt Wang looked at Yang Dongxu, who was about the same age as her son, and then at Wu Xue, who suddenly became nervous. Her eyes suddenly changed. Be wary of being slightly hostile.
"Xu Zi, our old neighbor in Yanjing, Wu Xue, came to see her little girl today. Come on, come in, come in and sit, come in and sit." Wu Xue's mother said, the awkward look on her face flashed away. Invite Aunt Wang and her son to come to the house to do it.
Wu Xue also quickly put on her slippers to wash the fruits and pour tea. When she heard that Yang Dongxu was from Yanjing, Aunt Wang's expression became more inquisitive. She also heard that it was because she was a child. Thinking of the sudden embarrassment on Wu Xue's mother's face just now, she The expression on his face couldn't help but be a little stiff.
"You guys sit down for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to help." Wu Xue greeted and got into the kitchen.
Facing the mother and son sitting opposite, Yang Dongxu could only smile awkwardly. He had obviously felt the change in the atmosphere just now, so it was strange that the atmosphere was not awkward among the three of them.
"Young man working in Yanjing?"
"No, I am working in Hangzhou now." Yang Dongxu replied with a smile.
"Coming to Magic City on a business trip?"
"That's right." Yang Ye nodded.
"What kind of work do you do? You can still come to Shanghai for a business trip." She couldn't help but feel a little superior when she said this. The same pride of Yanjing and Shanghai people was a bit difficult to deal with, but facing a person who works in Hangzhou, outside Shanghai, The rest of the place is all rural.
"From an online game company."
"Game company, this is really harmful." When Yang Dongxu said it was a game company, Aunt Wang's expression changed instantly, but after she said the words, she felt a little inappropriate and stopped talking: "I'm not saying this is bad. It’s just that if you play the game too much, it won’t be good.”
"I understand, I understand!" Yang Dongxu nodded to express his understanding.
In the impression of most parents, they are afraid of games. Regardless of whether the parent is from a rural area or a big city like Shanghai, when talking about online games, it instantly feels like talking about drugs.
"Young man, don't blame auntie for being too talkative. You'd better find another job. This job doesn't sound very good. I have a few children from my colleagues who have recently become obsessed with a game called something. They surf the Internet every day without sleeping."
"That game "Legend"." The slightly reserved Wang Zhibang's eyes lit up when he heard about the game, but he was stared back by his mother's stern eyes as soon as he said half a word.
"Stop playing with these useless things. If you are rated as an advanced student this year, don't you know that you can be promoted next year?" Aunt Wang gave her mother a sideways look.
"You know, I will definitely be the one who leads the team this year. I am already the deputy team leader, and I will be promoted next year. There is a bachelor's degree graduate in our team." Wang Zhibang said very proudly.
"Then work hard, you will have a bright future after working in a state-owned enterprise." Aunt Wang nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Yang Dongxu: "The young man's company should be a private enterprise."
"It's a private company." Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded.
"Listen, auntie, it's better to find another job. It's best to join a state-owned enterprise. You may earn less at the beginning. But if you can make a living, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
"Yes, yes." Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded.
Nowadays, private enterprises have blossomed all over the motherland, but although private enterprises have high wages, in the eyes of most people, the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises is better.
Compared with those who laughed at poverty but not at prostitution a few years later, people at this time are still innocent and cute. Everything feels stable, and I will be happy for the rest of my life. I have never thought about doing all kinds of shameless things just to make money.
