Chapter 26: Can you graduate with a Ph.D. at the age of 18?



Pinzunlou, a well-known restaurant on the bank of the Huangpu River, specializes in local cuisine.

There is a constant stream of people coming and going in front of the restaurant every day. It is also one of the most popular restaurants in Shanghai, with an average consumption of around 800 yuan per person.

Chen Chuan walked slowly along the navigation. Most areas of Shanghai were hot, but there was a cool breeze blowing along the Huangpu River. The wind was mixed with the fishy smell of sea water, blowing away the heat waves on the ground.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Chuan arrived at Pinzun Building and, led by the waitress, came to Guanjiang Pavilion.

"You've also booked a private room?"

Standing at the door of the box, Chen Chuan couldn't help but have some doubts about the innocence of this dinner date.

With this thought in mind, he pushed open the door.

The private room was very large, with a table that could seat sixteen people. At this moment, there were three people sitting inside, one man and two women.

The man looked to be in his fifties, wearing a smart casual outfit. Shen Chuan didn't recognize the brand, but he recognized the watch on his hand. It was a Vacheron Constantin, priced at around 300,000 yuan.

He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle and refined, but he had a calm and composed demeanor, as if he was someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Next to him sat an intelligent and gentle woman, about his age. She wore no finery, but for some reason, Shen Chuan felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

As for the last person, it is naturally Song Qingwei.

Looking at these people, Chen Chuan vaguely knew the purpose of Song Qingwei calling him here, which was most likely to deal with her parents.

Thinking of this, he felt a little unhappy.

He is not a tool, nor will he be a tool, even if Song Qingwei is good enough.

But since you are here, you should show proper courtesy to your elders.

So he showed his teeth, smiled and walked into the private room, and said enthusiastically: "Qingwei, am I not late?"

Then he looked at the middle-aged man and the gentle woman beside him and said jokingly, "Why don't you introduce these two elders to me?"

In fact, when Shen Chuan was observing the people in the box, the people in the box were also observing him, mainly middle-aged men.

His eyes were filled with hidden scrutiny and wariness, and he was constantly analyzing Shen Chuan's personal information in his heart.

"Chen Chuan, come and sit down."

The moment Song Qingwei entered the room, her eyes suddenly lit up, so she stood up, walked to the door, and pulled Chen Chuan to her seat.

As they walked, they introduced each other, saying, "This is my dad, and this is my mom. You can just call them uncle or auntie. My parents are old and stubborn, and they have bad tempers. If you can't stand it, you don't have to give them face."

Seeing his precious daughter holding the hand of a bad man, a trace of anger flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. When he heard Song Qingwei say that they had bad tempers, he felt powerless.

Chen Chuan arrived at his seat but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he nodded politely and said with a smile, "Hello, uncle and aunt. I often hear Qingwei talk about you. She always says that you two are her role models. I have admired you for a long time. Meeting you today is the fulfillment of my long-cherished wish."

"Oh, this guy is really sweet. Qingwei has never mentioned you to us." The gentle woman smiled softly and kindly. "What's your name? Where do you work? When did you meet Qingwei?"

"Mom, you're checking the household registration!"

Song Qingwei pulled Chen Chuan to sit down, with a bit of helplessness in her eyes.

Chen Chuan pretended not to notice and replied with a smile: "Auntie, my last name is Chen Chuan. I'm not working now, and I'm planning to build my own career."

At this point, he took Song Qingwei's soft little hand without leaving any trace and continued, "Qingwei and I have known each other for a long time. Maybe I'm not good enough, so Qingwei has never mentioned me to you two."

Song Qingwei looked at Chen Chuan in disbelief. How dare you hold my hand?

"Hey, hey, I didn't tell you to pretend to be my boyfriend!"

"Oh my god, I told my parents that you were my good friend, and you misunderstood me!"

She was going crazy, and both Song's mother and father looked a little unnatural.

Song's mother asked curiously, "Xiao Shen, are you and Qingwei boyfriend and girlfriend? This girl has never mentioned that she has a boyfriend."

"Oh shit, what a misunderstanding!"

Chen Chuan observed his surroundings calmly, thinking to himself that something was wrong.

But now that they've held hands and spoken, should he explain again?

It can be said that Chen Chuan is quite quick-witted. At the critical moment, he came up with a solution in his mind.

"What?" He pretended to be very surprised. "Did Qingwei say that?"

He turned his head and looked at the faintly frantic Song Qingwei, with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "Qingwei, we are in love with each other, why did you hide it from uncle and aunt? Don't you think about being with me for a long time?"

Song Qingwei pursed her lips, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

"No, I'm just embarrassed to tell my parents about it, and they haven't asked me about it."

Chen Chuan was overjoyed. Song Qingwei looked a little silly when she was embarrassed and embarrassed. Compared with her professional halo, she had a more down-to-earth air.

It was unknown what Mr. and Mrs. Song were thinking, and their smiles seemed a little forced.

Chen Chuan saw clearly that the two of them were probably cursing him in their hearts.

But he didn't care. He was just here to be a tool and just wanted to fill his stomach.

He took the opportunity to scratch Song Qingwei's nose and said in feigned anger, "Next time, don't hide it from your uncle and aunt, understand?"

Song Qingwei looked like an innocent emoji at the moment. Under the gaze of her parents, she could only nod in frustration and said obediently, "I know, I won't do it again."
