Chapter 168 Extras
Xie Chen is very busy. He is either on the way to the construction site or on the way to the company.
Saturdays and Sundays are no exception.
This morning, he just drove out of the community when he received a call from Xie Qing.
"Brother, are you at home?"
"I just came out. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Brother, do you still remember Chai Xuan?"
"Is she in trouble again?"
"Haha~ No!"
"Then you tell me, I won't guess."
"Brother, the Chai family likes you."
"What, what did you say?"
Xie Qing seemed to hear the sound of braking. It was not a sudden brake, but it definitely stopped.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, brother, did I understand you wrong, about me and Chai Xuan?"
"Yes, I was surprised too. Brother Chai told me last night, but he gave us leeway. You don't have to feel burdened and can refuse."
"This... I haven't thought about this at all. I don't even remember what Chai Xuan looks like."
"I know, I haven't thought about it either, so you should think about it carefully now. My idea is, if it comes to feelings, you don't like it at all, then I will politely refuse Brother Chai; if it comes to interests, then I don't think it's necessary to start."
"If you refuse..."
"Brother, if you have a burden, you can pretend that I never made this call."
These words gave Xie Chen a reassurance - it's just a blind date, it's not the first time, why are you panicking?
The Chai family chose him, so they were definitely the one who had their eyes on him. As long as their family background was not a factor, he had nothing to fear.
Xie Chen said, "I don't have any burden, but I also need to think it through. Moreover, even if I agree, I have to ask my dad for his consent. Please give me some time."
He is the eldest son of the Xie family. If he is in a free relationship, he certainly does not need to report it, but such a blind date still requires his parents' consent.
Xie Chen hung up the phone and looked at the gate of the community in the rearview mirror. Just as he was about to reverse the car back, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone, chatted for a few words, and finally drove to the construction site.
Xie Chen did not have much time to think about this matter during the day. His mind was free only at dinner time, so he thought about it while eating.
From the perspective of a man's interest in women, he has never had any other feelings for Chai Xuan except for her as a friend's sister.
Even now, he is still like this.
Moreover, Chai Xuan is too individualistic. Although she does not bully others by taking advantage of her power, she is not as easy to get along with as her two sisters.
He does not like girls who are too strong.
However, the Chai family is good, and the Chai brothers are good too. The two companies are still cooperating. If he refuses directly, it will make both parties embarrassed. He still has to think of a way to make everyone feel at ease.
Perhaps because he was too absorbed in his thoughts, Xie Chen unconsciously ignored his family until Xie Yun nudged him with his elbow.
Chen Yuehua looked surprised: "What is Chenchen thinking about? Why is he so engrossed?"
Xie Chen said: "What did you say just now about the work on the construction site?"
"You! What should I say to you?" Chen Yuehua pointed at him with the tip of her index finger. "We are not short of money at home. Why do you have to do such a big thing? Look at you. You have become so thin."
Xie Yun frowned slightly.
Xie Xun glanced at Chen Yuehua coldly, "What are you talking about! Just because the family is not short of money, does that mean he can stop striving for progress?"
Chen Yuehua argued, "Everyone says that Chenchen's land is too remote. I'm just worried that my child will lose money. Isn't it stressful?"
Xie Xun said, "Don't worry, you won't lose money. The land was basically bought by Qingqing, and the majority of the investment came from the Tan family, and the rest came from the Chai family. It doesn't have much to do with our family." Chen
Yuehua and Xie Yun were both shocked.
Chen Yuehua asked, "Where does she get so much money as a forensic pathologist?"
Xie Yun said, "Does she also invest in stocks?"
Xie Chen nodded, "Yes, apart from buying houses and donating to charity, the rest of Qingqing's money is basically with me."
Chen Yuehua was silent - Xie Qing was so generous to Xie Chen, which was something she couldn't do.
To be fair, Xie Qing is almost impeccable now.
Among the family, she is the only one who is still dissatisfied with Xie Qing's work as a forensic pathologist, and is upset that Xie Qing did not follow her arrangements at that time.
Xie Chen's look of defending Xie Qing at her birthday party is still in front of her, and she also knows that she is indeed unfair to her second daughter.
But she didn't think it was all her fault. First, Xie Qing didn't respect her ideas. Second, just like many people are afraid of dogs and cockroaches, she was afraid of Xie Qing who often dealt with corpses. She felt uncomfortable when she thought that her hands might have just touched a rotting dead body.
Although she had tried her best to overcome it, fear is fear, and she couldn't do it.
She didn't disrespect for forensic doctors, nor did she hate the profession of forensic doctors. She just hated that her own daughter ignored her psychological needs and insisted on doing this job.
Chen Yuehua said, "Your sister is a public servant and doesn't make much money. No matter whether you make a profit or a loss in the future, you must pay her back with interest as soon as possible."
Xie Qing has her own family now and will get married soon. She doesn't want to be the bad guy all the time. It's good to show some kindness occasionally to ease the relationship at home.
Xie Chen said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Xie Yun moved her surprised eyes away from Chen Yuehua's face, scooped a mouthful of soup into her mouth, and thought to herself, it seems that my mother has also come to terms with it. Xie Qing married a good family. It can be said that one person's success brings benefits to the whole family...
Hehe~ She laughed at herself in her heart.
I think too much!
With Xie Qing's ability, if she wants to make money, she can start a clothing business, a technology company, or the Internet. Any of these businesses are more lucrative than forensic medicine.
Xie Qing can become a wealthy family on her own, and there is no need to rely on the Tan family. Besides, Xie Qing saved Tan Yi and Chai Xuan, and she has an equal relationship with these two families.
If the two companies get her advice, they may be able to avoid many detours.
Who will rely on whom in the future is still unknown.
She doesn't need to strike just for the sake of striking, and she might as well have a bigger picture.
...
After dinner, Xie Chen wanted to go back to his room for a while, but was stopped by Xie Yun.
"Brother, I have something to tell you and Dad." She said.
"Okay." Xie Chen followed her to the living room.
Xie Xun took a sip of tea, "What's the matter?"
Xie Yun said, "Dad, what do you think of Shen Qing? Is she suitable for my brother?"
Chen Yuehua added, "Old Xie, Shen Qing is Yunyun's good friend, the daughter of Mayor Shen."
Xie Chen was a little surprised, "She is not..."
Xie Yun interrupted him, "Brother, that's all in the past."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
Xie Yun said, "Dad, Qingqing liked Tan Yi, but she just had a good impression of him and never made it clear."
Xie Xun asked, "Do you think your brother is suitable, or does Shen Qing think your brother is suitable."
Xie Yun said, "Dad, I think Shen Qing is suitable, so Ask my brother first. "
Chen Yuehua was unhappy, "Mayor Shen's daughter is not bad in appearance, knowledge and moral character. What are you picking on, Old Xie? Xie Qing hasn't married Tan Yi yet!"
Xie Xun glared at her unceremoniously, "What if Xie Qing marries Tan Yi? Will our Xie family prosper? I'm just afraid that we won't be in-laws and will become enemies instead." Xie
Yun said, "Dad, I know Shen Qing. She is a person who can take it or leave it. Besides, my brother is not very old. They can try it out first. If it succeeds in one or two years, it will be fine. If it doesn't, it's fine. It's not that serious."
At this point, she felt that she was a bit reckless.
However, she still had to fight for it.
First, Shen Qing is her good friend and is excellent in all aspects. If she marries Xie Chen, they will definitely get along well.
Second, her brother is becoming more and more successful, completely different from the conventional man in his previous life. If he can marry into the Shen family, it will be good for both the Xie family and her.
She really wants to promote this marriage.
Xie Yun said, "Dad, this is an opportunity anyway. I know Shen Qing. She has a first-class temper and character. My mother likes her very much."
From the perspective of interests, there is nothing wrong with what she said, but the premise is that Shen Qing can let go of her feelings for Tan Yi.
Xie Xun looked at Xie Chen.
Chen Yuehua said earnestly: "Chenchen, Tan Yi had been in charge of investigating Shen Yi's case, so Shen Qing had a good impression of him. Now that the case has been solved, Tan Yi and Qingqing are also together. Anyone who understands the situation will know what to do. Although Mayor Shen is only the deputy mayor, he happens to be in charge of the economy. Even if our family does not want to take advantage of him, it will be good for the company. In addition, Xie Yun and Shen Qing are good friends, so this marriage is beneficial."
Xie Chen was also thinking.
It is said that Chai Xuan also liked Tan Yi, but he can see that Chai Xuan is heartless and is just acting on impulse towards Tan Yi, and may not really like him - when Chai Xuan and Xie Qing were rescued together, Chai Xuan did not show any sign of liking Tan Yi, which shows that he had let it go long ago.
But Shen Qing is different.
Shen Qing is more reserved than Chai Xuan. He remembers very clearly how she liked Tan Yi at that time. Under the premise that there is no emotional basis, he has a much greater grudge against Shen Qing than Chai Xuan.
Besides, looking at the way Xie Yun and his mother are, if he really gets together with Shen Qing, his good days will be over.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Yuehua said again: "Chenchen, Mom and your sister are doing this for your own good."
Xie Chen made up his mind and said: "Mom and Dad, Qingqing called me this morning."
Xie Xun looked at him, waiting for him to say the next word.
Xie Chen continued: "She also gave me a choice. Secretary Chai said that his family also likes your son. However, Qingqing said that I can refuse."
Compared with Xie Qing, this mother and daughter are a bit aggressive.
Xie Yun immediately realized that he had been defeated again.
Chen Yuehua also lost her temper.
"The Chai family." Xie Xun wiped his face, "One is the Tan family, the other is the Chai family... Dad can tell you clearly that Dad does not have such great ambitions and does not need such in-laws to strengthen the Xie family. Therefore, Dad will only give you a suggestion from the perspective of an elder. Choose the Shen family, because of the relationship between your two sisters, we are evenly matched; choose the Chai family, if the Chai family is not strong, your horizons will be broader and your platform will be better; choose neither, our family's two main businesses are enough to support the Xie family without worries about food and clothing. Therefore, Dad will support you in any way."
After hearing this, Xie Chen felt as comfortable as if he had drunk a bowl of cool water in the hot summer.
Chen Yuehua asked, "Is Chai Xuan the girl who almost killed Xie Qing?"
"It's her." Xie Yun nodded, "Brother, I think Xuanxuan has a bit of a wild temper. I'm not saying this for Qingqing, but just to remind you to be cautious."
It would have been better if the mother and daughter didn't say anything. Once they said it, Xie Chen felt that he needed to give Chai Xuan a try - if she didn't choose Shen Qing and ended up marrying someone else, would they make things difficult for his future wife?
But what if Chai Xuan is not easy to get along with? What
if they quarrel every day? What
if they break up?
I've thought too much. If they break up, then what else can I do?
Xie Chen said to Chen Yuehua, "Mom, Chai Xuan didn't mean to harm Qingqing. She is just an ordinary girl. When she encountered such a thing, she had no choice but to ask for help. Besides, Qingqing is a police officer and it is her duty to save people. Even if what Chai Xuan did was inappropriate, we have to forgive her, because if we were in her shoes, we might not do better than her."
"Secondly, as Yunyun said, Chai Xuan is a little reckless, but she is also a simple person with a strong sense of justice. She is not the kind of person who cannot reason. Dad, what do you think?"
As soon as he said this, Xie Xun understood.
Xie Xun said: "We can be together everywhere. If it's not suitable, we can still break up. The key lies in how we do it. Don't let the girl be wronged. But you have to remember one thing, know the limits. Our Xie family members are not soft-hearted, and dad doesn't want you to be wronged."
Xie Chen straightened his chest, "Don't worry, dad, I know the limits."
Xie Xun was relieved, "Very good."
Xie Yun and Chen Yuehua's faces were not very good.
But they must admit that Chai Xuan has everything that Shen Qing has, and Chai Xuan also has everything that Shen Qing doesn't have.
Let's not talk about the future, at least Xie Chen's choice at this moment is not wrong.
...
Anhai has distinct four seasons and the autumn scenery is beautiful.
The basic work on the construction site was finished, and Xie Chen was not so busy anymore. He picked up his hobby of mountain climbing from a corner.
He wanted to organize an autumn trip to Wuling Mountain - he and Chai Xuan, Xie Qing and Tan Yi, Xie Yun and Gu Ling, and Xie Qing also called Li Ke and Li Ji.
Xie Qing and Tan Yi drove City Hunter from Zuilong Bay, picked up people at the Municipal Bureau, and then went straight to Wuling Mountain.
"Hello, Captain Tan." Li Ke and Li Ji greeted Tan Yi first after getting in the car.
"Not bad." Tan Yi looked back at them and stepped on the accelerator. "How are you doing recently? Are you busy?"
Li Ji said, "It's about the same as before. Is Captain Tan's hand better?"
Tan Yi raised his right hand and moved his five fingers with great effort. "It's not so flexible, but it's not disabled."
Li Ke said, "If you had known this, Captain Tan shouldn't have left."
Li Ji's knee touched hers lightly and smiled, "It's obvious that Captain Tan left for Xiao Xie."
Tan Yi said, "I didn't do it all for Qingqing. I just went with the flow. Besides, I studied in college. 's law, there is more room for development in the procuratorate."
Li Ji was a little surprised, "Is Captain Tan going to take the exam for the procuratorate in Anhai?"
Xie Qing said, "No, he wants to go to Beijing. His grandparents are old, and he can go home more often if he works in Beijing."
Li Ke exclaimed, "Then what will you do, will you go to Beijing too?"
Xie Qing said, "I'll see when the time comes. If I can transfer my job, I will transfer. If I can't transfer, I will stay in two places temporarily and talk about it later."
Li Ke and Li Ji looked at each other regretfully, but there was nothing to say. Xie Qing would be a forensic doctor wherever he worked, and there was no difference between Anhai and Beijing.
Li Ji changed the subject, "That's great, we have a job in Beijing."
Li Ke punched him on the leg, "You're not thinking ahead."
Xie Qing said, "Not far away, Lao Tan will take the exam in December. What about you, do you have any plans for the future?"
Li Ke said, "It's not time for us to get married yet. Let's see how it goes. If possible, I will apply to be transferred to the Economic Investigation Brigade, the work will be relatively less busy."
Xie Qing nodded, "That's not bad."
The couple can't both be busy, if one of them must be transferred, Li Ke is a girl, it might not be a bad idea for her to choose a slightly easier job.
Although economic investigation is a white-collar police, it is not easy to get in, but Li Ke was converted to a regular employee in advance, has criminal investigation experience, has made meritorious contributions, and is good at mathematics. As long as there is an opportunity, there will be no problem.
The four of them talked about the situation in the detective brigade and the case at the machinery factory, and then the topic expanded to the first serial murder case handled by Xie Qing.
Li Ke said, "Actually, Li Ji and I didn't take Xie Qing's suggestion too seriously. We just thought that since we had no idea, it would be better to follow a method with ideas, which would be better than blindly rushing around. Unexpectedly, Qingqing became famous overnight and left a name in front of the Huang Detachment. We also felt honored."
Li Ji grabbed her hand, patted it from time to time, and agreed, "Not only are we honored, but we newcomers are also valued a little because of this."
Xie Qing handed over two oranges, "Okay, you have all boasted about this several times. If you do it again, Lao Tan will have to eat the rest of his meal. "I spit it out."
Tan Yi said quickly, "Nonsense, I won't get tired of them even if they say it 10,000 times."
Li Ke squeezed his eyes nervously, "Captain Tan, what about the 10,001st time?"
Tan Yi said, "When you say the 10,001st time, it must be another new beginning. Not only will I not get tired of it, but I will also thank God."
Li Ji chuckled, "Qingqing, Captain Tan is changing the concept."
Xie Qing stuffed a slice of orange into Tan Yi's mouth, "I think so too."
Tan Yi frowned and said with a grin, "I didn't change the concept. I was just asking you for another afterlife."
"Ahhh..." Li Ke shook Li Ji's arm, "Oh my God, is this still an old cadre? He is clearly an old fox!"
Li Ji said, "If I also have the same idea as Captain Tan, do you agree?"
He directly borrowed Tan Yi's words and confessed to Li Ke again, not greasy, but very smart.
Li Ke blushed, clasped his hand, and held it tightly.
...
At 7:30, a group of people gathered at the Wulingshan parking lot.
Chai Xuan came over happily, "Qingqing, what delicious food did you bring?"
Xie Qing put her backpack on her shoulders, "I made a few sandwiches and a big box of sushi, do you want to eat?"
"No, I brought some too." Chai Xuan patted her backpack proudly, "Your brother and I just went to buy Grandpa Ken's chicken wings and burgers."
Xie Chen said, "I heard that everyone likes to eat them, so Chai Xuan and I went there specially."
After experiencing the kidnapping, Chai Xuan's temper has become much more restrained, but it is difficult to change one's nature. He is straightforward and can't change his mind. He still says what he thinks. If he likes someone, he has to say it, and if he doesn't like someone, he has to say it. Xie Chen
doesn't get tired of getting along with her, so he has been with her and their relationship is stable now.
Among the girls, only Xie Yun was carrying a lady's bag that couldn't hold much. The other three were carrying small mountaineering bags that were fully stocked with food and drinks.
After saying hello, everyone entered the gate and walked along the familiar mountain road into the mountains. They
talked and laughed along the way, stopping and starting.
Xie Chen, Li Ji, and Gu Ling even went to the place where Xie Qing and her friends played cards to play Landlord for a while.
Tan Yi and Xie Qing each took a camera and took turns taking pictures of the three beauties.
Chai Xuan suggested, "You two take one photo each, and we'll be the judges after the photos are developed. Whoever takes the best photo will be treated to dinner."
Li Ke objected, "Team Tan is a professional, and Qingqing is a novice. This is not fair."
Xie Qing held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I'm also good at taking photos of living people, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
"Hahaha..." Li Ke and Chai Xuan laughed.
Tan Yi glanced at Xie Yun, who also laughed. Although not as presumptuous as Li and Chai, he obviously didn't particularly mind Xie Qing's words.
People always change, and Xie Yun is no exception.
Tan Yi soon discovered that Xie Qing was indeed better at taking photos of living people. The movements she designed for the three beauties were all very good. Not only did they look good in the picture, but they also made their figures look more slender.
He sincerely praised: "My daughter Qingqing is better than most people as a photographer."
Xie Yun nodded in her heart. She had to admit that Xie Qing was indeed smarter than her. But so what? Just like what her mother said, she didn't need to compete with her in everything. It was better to be the best in the field she was good at.
In this way, the three brothers and sisters lived in harmony, supported each other, and grew up together. Isn't it much happier than her fighting alone to support the whole family?
People, don't be too stubborn!
...
