On the night of the college entrance examination, Xie Jinghu had the most expensive dinner in his life.
In Chengdu, the dinner at Wen Ying's house was very lively.
This meal was not at a restaurant, nor at Wen Ying's house, but at Uncle Wen's house.
Wen Ying looked around as soon as she entered the house. After walking around the whole house, she exclaimed sincerely: "Auntie, your house is so big~"
Unlike Deng Juan who acted quickly and decisively when buying a house, Zhu Meiqun's family looked at this house again and again and even went through a lot of trouble with the real estate agents before they chose this old house.
Although it is called an old house, it is only a dozen years old. It was built in 1991 as a housing compound for the staff of an enterprise. At that time, it was not popular to install elevators. Compared with the commercial housing with elevators today, it is not competitive at all.
But this house is in a good location and the layout is large enough. It is over 130 square meters with not much public area, and all four rooms are very spacious!
It was a good floor, the second floor, and Grandma Wen had nimble legs and feet, so climbing the stairs wasn't too difficult for her.
The down payment drained all of Zhu Meiqun and his wife’s savings, and they have to pay the mortgage every month...but Zhu Meiqun is not afraid at all.
After buying the house, Zhu Meiqun and his wife had no spare money. Uncle Wen Ying bought two buckets of paint and renovated the walls of the whole house. Zhu Meiqun took the time to dismantle and clean, and it took more than a month to make the old house look brand new!
Anyway, Wen Ying thought the place was pretty good. The furniture left by the original owner was a bit old, but Zhu Meiqun cleaned it up very well.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Meiqun even squatted down and cleaned the gaps between the floor tiles bit by bit, making the whole house look tidy and warm.
If I really want to find faults, it would be that the property quality of the community is not high. The old community has been greened for many years, and the lush trees affect the lighting on the second floor... In terms of cost-effectiveness, these two shortcomings are nothing at all. It is impossible for ordinary people from a small county to settle down in the provincial capital in one step.
More importantly, this community is located in the area that Wen Ying remembers being demolished. Now that she lives there, she can get compensation if the demolition is completed. It's really a good deal.
Hearing Wen Ying praising the house's size, Zhu Meiqun couldn't help but smile: "Thank you too! Your mother said that it was you who first mentioned buying a house that reminded us, and you also recommended a suitable area for us. Without your help, your uncle and I wouldn't have dared to buy a house."
Wen Ying waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't pay!"
Wen Ying really didn't pay any money.
She was actually prepared to borrow money, but her uncle and his wife were very stubborn and did not borrow money to buy a house. Instead, they chose the down payment + loan model.
Zhu Meiqun didn't care what Wen Ying said and believed that Wen Ying had made a contribution.
After confirming that Wen Ying had performed well in the college entrance examination this year, he talked about his son Wen Kai: "I wonder if your brother Kai likes this house..."
Wen Ying chuckled, "Of course I like it, I like it too! You'll get this surprise when Brother Kai comes back from vacation."
Yes, Wen Kai doesn’t know about this yet.
In July, the university is on summer vacation, and Wen Kai will know when he comes back.
That night, Zhu Meiqun cooked many dishes. This meal was not only a celebration for Wen Ying after finishing the college entrance examination, but also a home-warming meal for Zhu Meiqun and his wife.
The whole family sat together and Wen Dongrong drank a lot of wine.
The relatives kept praising Wen Ying. Wen Dongrong, despite being drunk, was trying to remain sober: "Oh, it's too early to say these things. We have to wait until the results come out to know how she did!"
"Brother, you're too modest. Xiaoying is usually among the top dozens in her grade at the provincial key school. She herself said that she performed well, so her grades will definitely not be bad!"
Wen Changlin was very confident in his niece. Wen Ying just smiled and said nothing, while others kept agreeing with him.
Everyone believed that Wen Ying had done very well in the exam.
Wen Dongrong felt very sad.
Don’t you want to be proud?
It was Hei Xinmian’s extremely inflated “post-exam feeling” that made me afraid to be too high-profile!
Because Wen Dongrong was not showing off as usual, even Chen Ru looked at this bastard in surprise several times.
On the way home after dinner, Wen Dongrong couldn't help but ask again: "How did you do on the exam?"
Wen Ying spoke frankly: "I told you, I did very well in the exam."
In the afternoon, they only said "good test results", but in the evening it became "very good test results". The speed at which the black-hearted cotton expanded exceeded Wen Dongrong's imagination.
Wen Dongrong closed his eyes in despair.
On the night of the college entrance examination, Wen Ying had a good sleep.
She woke up early again the next day.
Wen Ying thought she would feel relaxed after the exam, but in fact she felt more confused.
After all, I have become accustomed to the pace of senior year, and when I suddenly relax, I don’t know what to do.
Yuan Fenghui didn't let Wen Ying feel confused for too long. She called her at 9 a.m. and asked, "I heard you're going to the Magnolia Awards Ceremony?"
"yes!"
Wen Ying readily admitted that there was no need to keep this information secret from anyone.
Yuan Fenghui laughed: "Since you're going, why don't you attend the two book signing events as well to avoid wasting your plane tickets!"
This is a capitalist who will not pass up any opportunity for exploitation.
Wen Ying neither agreed nor refused, and asked Yuan Fenghui: "Will you reimburse me for the air ticket?"
"Not only will we pay for your round-trip airfare, but we'll also reimburse you for three days of accommodation!"
Anyway, the money is paid by the publishing house, so Yuan Fenghui has no reluctance to spend it.
Wen Ying immediately nodded in agreement.
I was going to Modu anyway, so it wouldn't be too much trouble to attend two book signing events. The book signing events were to promote Wen Ying's novels, and the ultimate beneficiary was Wen Ying herself.
Besides, saying that you are going to Shanghai for a book signing event is better than saying that you are going to Shanghai to attend an awards ceremony.
If she said she was going to attend an awards ceremony, Manager Chen would definitely ask who she was going with and why she was going... The reason of a book signing event was very legitimate and would save Wen Ying a lot of explanation.
Before Wen Ying told Xie Qian the news, Xie Qian shared a "good news" with Wen Ying first.
When Wen Ying learned that Xie Qian had acquired another 6% of Jinhu shares, she jumped for joy.
"Why is your dad so generous this time?"
“He had to be generous.”
Xie Qian briefly recounted what happened yesterday, and Wen Ying was so angry that she wanted to pick up a knife.
"Your dad is a scumbag, I'm used to it. That Zhang Zhijun isn't a good guy either. You said everyone likes him, so his emotional intelligence and IQ must be high. Why did he choose to cause a scene at Jinhu yesterday?"
With Zhang Zhijun's emotional intelligence and IQ, he should have guessed that this matter would have a chain reaction before he went to find Xie Jinghu.
Do you want to influence Xie Qian's college entrance examination results?
Wen Ying had a hunch that it wouldn't be that simple.
Xie Qian also felt that it was not that simple.
But no matter what, Zhang Zhijun's disturbance not only did not affect Xie Qian, but also brought benefits to Xie Qian. I wonder if Zhang Zhijun had anticipated this?
Xie Qian did not change his opinion of Zhang Zhijun. The last DNA test result was beyond Xie Qian's expectations. While Zhang Zhijun is now in China, Xie Qian plans to take Zhang Zhijun's DNA sample for another test.
Although the custom watch Zhang Zhijun gave Xie Qian did not show any problems during the test, out of caution, Xie Qian did not tell Wen Ying on the phone about the DNA test. He only said that he would meet Wen Ying in Shanghai: "You go to Shanghai first to do your thing, and wait for me to come."
