While he was thinking, Sun Yulan pulled his arm and woke him up.
Looking closely, he was already standing at the door of the box, and inside the box there was a man sitting upright with a serious expression, exuding a sense of majesty.
"Dad! We're here."
"Come in and sit down and talk."
Sun Yulan took Chen Chuan's hand and walked into the private room. This scene fell into Sun Qianli's eyes, making him feel a little powerless.
My daughter's elbows have turned outward.
He looked at Shen Chuan, serious and unsmiling.
"What's your name, young man?"
Chen Chuan looked at the man in front of him and said, "My name is Chen Chuan. Uncle, you can call me Xiao Shen or my name."
"Well, where is Xiao Shen from?"
"Chiyou's hometown."
Sun Qianli nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Chen Chuan was a little confused. Sun Yulan noticed the awkwardness of the atmosphere and pulled Chen Chuan's hand from under the table to ease his discomfort.
Chen Chuan shook his head at her, indicating that he was not feeling unwell.
After a while, seeing that Sun Qianli was still silent, Chen Chuan suddenly came to his senses. He looked at Sun Yulan and said softly, "Yulan, I have no cigarettes in my pocket. Can you go downstairs and buy me a pack of Hetianxia?"
"Now?"
Sun Yulan blinked, as if asking, "Aren't you afraid of being alone with my dad?"
"Well, right now."
Sun Yulan looked at her father hesitantly, but Sun Qianli was not looking at her.
"Okay, I'll go buy it now."
Soon, only Chen Chuan and the other two were left in the box.
"Uncle, you can say whatever you want now."
"Are you sure I want to talk to you alone?"
Sun Qianli put down his teacup with an expressionless face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Chen Chuan chuckled, changed into a comfortable sitting position and said lightly: "I am sure that my uncle has something to say to me. Now that Yu Lan has been sent away by me, you can say it directly."
Sun Qianli's deep eyes fell on Shen Chuan, and his expression was somewhat unpredictable.
"You're very confident."
"It's not a bad thing for young people to be more confident. I noticed before coming up that the nearest store is about 300 meters away from the teahouse. It takes Yu Lan about ten minutes to go there and back."
Sun Qianli still had no expression on his face, his eyes staring straight at Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan frowned slightly, somewhat unsure of what Sun Qianli wanted to say to him.
Their eyes met, and neither of them showed any intention of backing down or avoiding.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the private room became extremely depressing.
"He's a nice guy."
Sun Qianli praised him in his heart. Even in the bureau, there were very few people who dared to look him in the eye. He had been in politics for many years, and his eyes were somewhat oppressive. Ordinary people would have been flustered and dodged when stared at by him like this.
About two minutes later, Sun Qianli suddenly laughed, and with his smile, the depressing atmosphere in the private room disappeared.
"When I was young like you, I was also fearless. Seeing you now is like seeing my younger self. Unfortunately, time is merciless, and in the blink of an eye, I am already half a century old."
"But my life has been pretty smooth. Do you know why?"
Chen Chuan said calmly, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Because I'm brave enough! And more importantly, because I have no worries at home." Sun Qianli said with some emotion, "Lanlan's mother was also a stunning woman in her youth. I was penniless at the time, but she was willing to endure hardships with me. Over the years, I was busy with work and neglected to take care of the family. She has been running this small family alone."
"Doing laundry and cooking, cleaning up her poop and pee, accompanying her to the hospital when she's sick, and playing with her when she's unhappy."
"I am very lucky to have such a good wife."
Chen Chuan listened quietly. So far, he couldn't guess the other party's true thoughts when he saw him.
"She is a decisive person and very capable in her career. I often feel that if she had not married me and had chosen to go into politics, she would definitely have been able to run a region."
"For me, for this family, she sacrificed herself."
Having said that, Sun Qianli paused, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.
"I once swore that if anyone dared to let her suffer injustice, I would protect her at all costs."
"Do you get me?"
Chen Chuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, please speak directly if you have something to say. There is no need to beat around the bush. I believe you are not meeting me to warn me or to retaliate."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Sun Qianli laughed loudly, and the dangerous light in his eyes disappeared, replaced by admiration.
"I've seen countless outstanding young talents, but after meeting you today, I suddenly feel that they are nothing special."
"Actually, meeting you today is a decision I made after considering it for a long time."
"Let me ask you, can you guess why I'm meeting you today?"
