After having dinner at the factory, Chen Jun rode his bicycle to Xueru Silk Shop.
Because the Chinese New Year had just passed, the silk shop was not very busy. When Chen Jun arrived at the store, Chen Xueru was leisurely flipping through a notebook.
Seeing Chen Jun coming, Chen Xueru quickly asked him to sit down, then hugged his arm and asked mysteriously: "Chen Jun, where did you buy that ginseng?"
"My dad took a look at it with a doctor who knows Chinese medicine. He said it was incredibly old and would cost at least a thousand yuan."
"If you have nothing to do today, come home with me. My dad said this ginseng is too valuable, so he asked you to take it back."
Um?
Chen Jun raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that Chen Xueru's father actually wanted to return the ginseng.
This is ginseng worth several thousand yuan, which is a huge sum of money even for the Chen family.
"Why take it? That's a gift from me to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's a token of my love!" Chen Jun pinched Chen Xueru's face, indicating that he would definitely not take the ginseng back. He also said some coaxing words such as no matter how valuable the ginseng is, it is not as valuable as a wife, which made Chen Xueru feel sweet.
"Okay, then when we get married, I'll ask my dad to prepare more dowry. Um... for now, add a thousand yuan!"
Wow, the dowry was directly increased by one thousand yuan. Chen Xueru is indeed a rich woman.
After the two of them stayed together for a while, Chen Xueru touched her stomach and said she was hungry.
Chen Jun originally wanted to go to the back to cook two dishes for Chen Xueru, but was rejected by Chen Xueru.
"I'll take you out to eat today. If you meet old friends, I'll introduce them to you. When we get married, we'll have to invite them to the party," said Chen Xueru.
Chen Jun asked subconsciously: "Go to that pub you keep talking about?"
Chen Xueru nodded, stood up and took Chen Jun out.
After walking a short distance, the two arrived at the He Family Tavern. Chen Jun walked into the room and took a look. He found a man with his hair combed like an adult, wearing black clothes and with narrow eyes.
Wow, isn’t this Fan Jinyou!
Last time, when I heard about my identity at the door of Xueru Silk Shop, I left immediately. I didn’t expect to meet her here.
Fan Jinyou also noticed Chen Xueru at this time. Just as he was about to stand up and say hello, he saw Chen Jun beside Chen Xueru, and the smile he had just put on disappeared immediately.
"Xue Ru, come and have dinner?"
Chen Xueru frowned upon hearing this: "Secretary Fan, you should just call me Chen Xueru."
Fan Jinyou always came to the silk shop for no reason. Chen Xueru had seen through his thoughts a long time ago, but her mind was all on Chen Jun, so she didn't want to even look at Fan Jinyou.
But unfortunately, Fan Jinyou is the secretary of the street, and some things have to be dealt with by him.
So Chen Xueru has always kept her distance from Fan Jinyou.
Normally it would be nothing, but I don’t know what was wrong with Fan Jinyou today. He suddenly called herself Xueru, which made Chen Xueru feel nauseous.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Chen Jun glanced at Fan Jinyou with a slightly raised lip. He originally thought that this guy would retreat last time, but he didn't expect that he was still so determined.
If I remember correctly, this guy is not a very good person. He is very selfish, but he is not very smart and lacks the ability to do things. He can only flatter and pretend to be a cultured person. Therefore, he is a man with little ability but great ambition.
The reason why he provoked Chen Xueru was partly because he was attracted by Chen Xueru's appearance, and partly because he was attracted by the Chen family's money.
"Chen Jun, don't pay attention to him. I'll take you to taste the specialties of the tavern." Chen Xueru was worried that Chen Jun, who was young and hot-tempered, would deal with Fan Jinyou, so she pulled Chen Jun to sit down.
"Special pickles?" Chen Jun asked with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, before Chen Xueru could reply, Fan Jinyou jumped out again and shouted, "You come to eat at the tavern, don't you even know the sign?"
"The signature dish here is Erguotou!"
No, buddy, do you really have to show your presence?
Chen Jun felt a little uncomfortable this time. This guy must be jealous that Chen Xueru was with him, so he jumped out to disgust him.
Sure enough, Fan Jinyou is not a good person.
Boss He behind the counter also smiled and said, "Secretary Fan is right. Our signature product is indeed Erguotou. It is shipped directly from Niulanshan. We guarantee that not a drop of water is added to it after it arrives at the store."
Nowadays, many stores add water to loose liquor in order to make more money. Although the taste will be slightly worse, most people who drink loose liquor don’t care about this, as long as the price is cheap.
"Boss, a few side dishes and half a pound of Erguotou." Chen Xueru ordered the dishes directly, then said to Fan Jinyou, "Secretary Fan, my fiancé and I are ordering food, could you please stop interrupting?"
Although Chen Xueru is a little woman, her aura towards the outside world is not weak at all.
Seeing that Chen Xueru's attitude towards him had changed like this, Fan Jinyou was directly unhappy.
After all, he is a clerk of the street office and a team leader among the clerks. Isn't he better than this young man?
Moreover, Chen Xueru's public insult made him more and more annoyed.
He simply stood up, walked to Chen Jun's table, pulled out a stool and sat down.
Um?
Chen Jun glanced at Fan Jinyou sharply. This guy deserved a beating, and yet he actually dared to come and pick a fight?
"Secretary Fan!" Chen Xueru's voice had become somewhat angry.
But Fan Jinyou didn't look at Chen Xueru. Instead, he looked at Chen Jun and asked with a forced smile, "What's your name?"
"Is there something?" Chen Jun did not give his name, but asked back.
"Then let me introduce myself first. My name is Fan Jinyou, and I work at the Zhengyangmen Subdistrict Office. I suspect there's something wrong with your identity, so you should answer whatever I say honestly."
As he spoke, Fan Jinyou used the same aura he usually used to bully ordinary vendors, staring at Chen Jun with his narrow eyes: "You! What's your name?"
Chen Jun glanced at Fan Jinyou and ignored him. He picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water for Chen Xueru and himself, and drank it slowly, as if he ignored Fan Jinyou.
"Bang!"
"I asked you what your name was!"
Fan Jinyou felt that Chen Jun's disregard was like a slap in the face, especially in front of Chen Xueru, which made him even more angry, and he raised his hand and slammed the table.
The man in front of me is not very old, but he dares to ignore me.
It's really outrageous.
"Hey, what's wrong with Secretary Fan? Why is he losing his temper in the tavern for no reason?"
Just as Fan Jinyou was slamming the table angrily, two old men walked in slowly, attracting the attention of Chen Jun and others.
"Did someone offend Secretary Fan? Look how loud the banging on the table was just now. I even heard it outside the door." Another old man also spoke up.
