Chapter 105 Marriage is the beginning of a family
"Of course it's true. I heard from my cousin's friend Changsheng that Director Zhang from the international channel went to the school to listen to a day's class in order to select anchors. In the end, he felt that your image and temperament were the best in the English department."
"My wife is definitely the best." Wen Shuren said, and Wen Zhile immediately responded, "Dad is right~"
"Mom, do you want to be an English anchor?"
Shu Ying smiled and shook her head: "If I go, I will have to reschedule my morning classes, which will interfere with my main job. I am not interested in being a host."
Wen Zhile nodded and took Shu Ying's arm. "Mom, I'm interested. Hey, can you call me over when Director Zhang comes to talk to you? I want to intern at the International Channel."
"Of course." Shu Ying's eyes were filled with surprise. The TV was replaying last night's evening news. She glanced at the female anchor sitting next to Changsheng and then at her daughter. "Zhizhi, your image, temperament and spoken English are all very good. You will definitely be elected."
"Borrow mom's good words~"
Wen Shuren came over with a bag of oranges.
"Zhizhi, eat an orange. Give it to me, wife. I'll peel the orange for you."
Wen Zhile reached into the plastic bag and said, "Dad, Tang Lin said the location for the disco has been decided. It's just across from our school."
She took out an orange and started peeling it: "I'll go take a look this Sunday, and then have lunch with Tang Lin and the others at noon."
"Xiao Zhou is going too?" Shu Ying asked.
"I think I will go. We agreed on that a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ying looked at Wen Shuren, and Wen Shuren also looked at her. When the two looked at each other, everything was said without words.
1989.11.5, Sunday.
Wen Zhile went out at half past ten and went to Shuhai Hotel to chat with Fang Xiuxiu for a while. At exactly eleven o'clock, he saw a familiar car parked at the hotel entrance.
"Sister Xiuxiu, my brother is here. Let's get together another day."
"Okay, I won't see you off." Fang Xiuxiu was still on duty at the front desk.
The little girl nodded, turned around and walked out: "Brother."
As soon as Zhou Jihuai got off the car, he knew Zhizhi was there.
"Let's go, Tang Lin and Jiang Zhao are already here."
He walked to Wen Zhile's side and looked not far away.
Wen Zhile followed his gaze and asked, "Where?"
"Right there."
The little girl saw the place and walked over with him: "Tang Lin actually bought the bookstore? The bookstore owner is the most difficult person to talk to on this street."
"The bookstore is at the end of the street. Just a few steps across the sidewalk, you'll reach the door. It's in the best location." Zhou Jihuai reached into his pocket and took out something. "You left your rubber band behind."
"Hey? I was wondering why I couldn't find it. Where did you find it?"
Wen Zhile wanted to take it and put it on her wrist. She originally wanted to tie her hair up casually for convenience today, but when she thought of Zhou Jihuai coming, she hesitated for a few minutes and tied her hair into a bun. She also put on some lipstick before going out.
"It's on the bedside table." Zhou Jihuai's eyes were glued to the rubber band. When he saw her trying to take it away, he dodged it without leaving a trace. "Shall I help you take it? You don't need it for the time being."
Wen Zhile stopped and said, "That's fine."
She watched Zhou Jihuai put the light blue rubber band on his wrist, her eyes slid to his profile, a smile flashing in her peach blossom eyes.
Her brother Zhou's request reminded her of the little tricks played by the boys in her middle school class.
"Brother, did that old man come to see you last time?"
"I saw him once, but he didn't show any intention to introduce his granddaughter to me. Not only him, but also other old men and women in the community have given up."
Wen Zhile chuckled: "This is a win-win situation. I have successfully attracted quite a few romantic opportunities for you."
"Yes," the man narrowed his eyes, "It's all thanks to you, thank you."
Wen Zhile waved his hands: "Why are you being polite? We are one family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs."
"..." Zhou Jihuai was speechless.
What kind of family is this? You are only a family after you get married.
The bookstore has two floors. It looks old on the outside and the interior decoration is also very ordinary. The first and second floors are empty. After Wen Zhile went in, he looked around the first floor and walked to the second floor.
"Come up and take a look."
Tang Lin stood at the entrance of the stairs: "This area is OK. I plan to turn the second floor into a few karaoke rooms. I will put a few sets of tables and chairs on the balcony so that customers can come over to eat skewers and enjoy the fresh air. Xiao Wen, do you have any suggestions?"
"Me? I don't have any suggestions for now. I'll do as you say."
Tang Lin was happy. This girl was determined to spend money instead of brains. "Okay, then I'll find a renovation team to start the work."
Jiang Zhao saw this from the balcony, hung up the phone and came in to say hello, saying with a smile: "Just now, the service staff of Wangjing Pavilion called and said that there is a vacant private room, and asked me to confirm the time to go over for dinner."
"Before I set out this morning, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to book Wangjing Pavilion due to the large crowds on Sunday, so I booked a private room in the State Banquet Hall to be on the safe side. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Ji Huai and Xiao Wen, where do you want to eat?"
Wen Zhile raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although the prices of dishes at the State Banquet Hall are cheaper than those at Wangjing Pavilion, its status in Jingzhou is one level higher than that of Wangjing Pavilion.
In addition to military and political figures, Wangjing Pavilion also received wealthy businessmen, and there was no restriction on the rank of the military and political figures. In other words, anyone with money could get in. However, the State Banquet Hall only received high-ranking military and political figures and their families, and all the chefs were descendants of Yu Chef.
Why is Jiang Zhao so cunning? He is cunning even when having a meal with her.
"Let's go to the State Banquet Hall." A low magnetic voice sounded, and Jiang Zhao replied with a smile, "Then I'll cancel the private room at Wangjing Pavilion."
Wen Zhile followed Zhou Jihuai downstairs and said after getting in the car: "Brother, if you don't want to go, let's find an excuse to leave."
After all, Zhou Jihuai had this meal with Tang Lin and Jiang Zhao because of her.
"It's okay." The man buckled her seat belt and whispered, "Your uncle Zhou wants to take over the Jiang family. This meal will have to be eaten sooner or later."
