General Peng took the initiative to invite his son Peng Guoqing's friends in Chengdu to a "simple meal".
Peng Guoqing was frightened when he heard it suddenly.
It wasn't raining red, and his father didn't look like he had suddenly gone crazy after eating two meals of Rongcheng hotpot, so why did he invite his friends to dinner?
From childhood to adulthood, Peng Guoqing has never made any friends that his father would like.
Xie Qian doesn't count. Xie Qian used to be more like Peng Guoqing's self-proclaimed friend. Anyway, Peng Guoqing didn't have the ability to bring Xie Qian home to play.
As for the rest, people like Tai Wu, no matter which one was picked out, were all useless in General Peng's eyes.
Well, thinking about it this way, Peng Guoqing felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
Any one of Wen Ying, Li Mengjiao and other new friends is very capable in front of the elders if they are taken out individually. If he can really get these people together, he can show his father a powerful circle of friends - hehe, his father will not dare to look down on him easily in the future!
Peng Guoqing had a subtle expression because his father had some kind of seizure after meeting Teacher Liang.
First he took out Peng Guoqing's old papers and looked at them, and now he asked to meet Peng Guoqing's friends. All these signs indicate that his father is expressing his concern.
Wow, the fatherly love that I hadn’t felt in the past ten years suddenly emerged?
It's probably a fraud!
Peng Guoqing was torn, but Li Mengjiao and Qin Jiao couldn't grasp his subtle feelings. Only Wen Ying, thinking of her own fake father-daughter relationship with Old Wen, comforted Peng Lvmao: "Some fathers are just so out of touch. Now that their children have grown up, they seem to finally remember their responsibilities as 'fathers'. It's no use being uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it, because they always have their own ways of making their presence felt."
Peng Guoqing suddenly understood. "Right, right, that's right. I find it very strange, but I can't tell you what's strange about it. You're really amazing! You really deserve to be a novelist!"
It's just awkward.
Obviously, both parties are used to the previous way of getting along, but when one party suddenly makes a change, the other party will feel very uncomfortable.
Li Mengjiao and Qin Jiao looked at each other.
Their father is not like that.
There was no sudden closeness. They had a close relationship with their father since childhood and were not reluctant to share any secrets, but it was obviously not appropriate to say it out now, otherwise it would hurt Wen Ying and Peng Guoqing too much.
Peng Guoqing asked Wen Ying for advice on how to get along with his father. Wen Ying smiled and said, "Let him be strong, the breeze blows over the hills; let him be arrogant, the bright moon shines on the river."
"Sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere..."
"Even if you haven't read the novel, you've probably watched the TV series and are familiar with the Nine Yang Manual in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'. That's not important. What's important is that you learn this mentality of 'let the wind and rain beat down, I remain unmoved!'"
Fortunately, Peng Guoqing's Chinese has reached the passing level. If he still scored 43 points out of 150 in the Chinese test as before, he would only be able to get 43 points, and he would not even understand what Wen Ying said.
Now Peng Guoqing could understand, "Just tell him to let him be."
"That's about right. Let's see if your dad is just acting on impulse."
Wen Ying doesn't think that she is corrupting young people.
Parents are also human beings, and as human beings, they have shortcomings. Some parents are not in the right state of mind all year round. Occasionally they come back to their senses and give their children a little care. Children who have been lacking love for years cling to them eagerly, and the parents lose interest again after they have exhausted their temporary enthusiasm!
Rather than being disappointed, it is better not to have too much hope in the beginning.
This is how Wen Ying viewed the budding fatherly love of Old Wen, and she passed on her experience to Peng Guoqing without reservation.
At this moment, Peng Guoqing almost wanted to treat her as a close friend. In his excitement, Peng Guoqing almost gave Wen Ying a bear hug. At the critical moment, Qin Jiao's light cough prevented Peng Guoqing from losing his composure.
You can’t hug me!
Wen Ying is not just any girl.
He was so brave as to hug her now, but in a few days Xie Qian might dig out her courage with his bare hands. Who would he turn to for justice then?
"So, you all agreed to the meal, right?"
Peng Guoqing did not forget to make the final confirmation.
Qin Jiao actually didn't want to go. When Peng Guoqing transferred to Chengdu, Qin Jiao had already gone to Beijing to attend university. She and Peng Guoqing were not familiar with each other, but Peng Guoqing insisted on inviting Qin Jiao to go with him.
There is no other reason. Qin Jiao is a student of Peking University Guanghua School of Management. Anyone would be proud to have such a friend.
Peng Guoqing's eyes were filled with pleading: "Sister Qin Jiao, you don't know, we children who are not loved by our biological fathers are really miserable..."
Qin Jiao glanced at Wen Ying and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, then I'll go have this meal. Do you want me to call my brother to come with us?"
Peng Guoqing was overjoyed: "Shout, shout, shout, shout together!"
Wen Ying kindly reminded: "Stop it, you and Brother Qin Yi really don't have much of a relationship."
Peng Guoqing is extremely shameless.
"I've heard of Brother Qin Yi's great name for a long time, and we've been close friends for a long time. How come we're no longer friends?"
Wen Ying: ...!
All the consolation just now was in vain. Looking at Peng Lumao's face, he doesn't look like he has suffered any psychological trauma.
In the end, those who would dine with Mr. Peng included Wen Ying, Li Mengjiao, Wang Shuang, and the Qin siblings. This "guest list" had just been finalized the day before, and Qin Jiao and her brother immediately received a "gift" from Mrs. Peng.
Qin Yi had never dealt with a social terrorist like Mrs. Peng, so he couldn't accept the gift from Mrs. Peng and asked his sister what it meant.
Qin Jiao hesitated: "Maybe this is maternal love?"
It is a mother's love, which is both pure and great, yet vulgar and practical. She wishes she could use money to pave the way for her son!
In fact, there are mothers like this around the Qin brothers and sisters. Mrs. Wang dislikes Wang Shuang all day long. Wang Shuang is like a sad grass swaying in the wind in front of Mrs. Wang. But while Mrs. Wang dislikes Wang Shuang, she also gave up the comfort zone of being a full-time wife and worked hard to do everything for Wang Shuang...
Qin Yi reluctantly accepted his sister's explanation.
"Okay, since I'm taking money from others to help them get rid of their misfortunes, I will definitely play the role of a good friend to Peng Guoqing."
Peng Guoqing's real friends and fake friends are all in place.
Before the banquet began, Secretary Bai reviewed his inadequate work to General Peng: "The Qin siblings are rarely in Chengdu. Young Master Peng should be keeping in touch with them via mobile phone."
Secretary Bai had already collected information on Wen Ying, Li Mengjiao and Wang Shuang.
Secretary Bai was very tired from the information about Qin Yi and Qin Jiao.
But as long as the "Shrimp King" is found and the string is gently pulled, everyone in this small group will be brought out.
General Peng's attention was attracted by the "Shrimp King".
"Shrimp King" is a catering company that has not been established for a long time. It is not very large, but its shareholders are actually a group of students!
Is this a startup started by a group of students...even high school students?
Including Xie Qian, they all still retain 5% of the "Shrimp King" shares.
President Peng's fingers traced over the information Secretary Bai had obtained. "Please help clean up the mess and keep this information private. If anyone wants to investigate this company again, they must make sure it doesn't lead to Xie Qian."
