As soon as he entered the private room, there were already several men sitting inside, about the same age as Xu Lei, wearing military uniforms. One of them was Wang Yang.
Xu Lei brought the two younger generations in and greeted everyone, "Come here, Manman, Xiaoming, these are old friends that uncle has known for more than ten years, so there is no need to introduce them. This is your Uncle Wang Yang, and this is your Uncle Zhao..."
Xu Manman and Chen Ming followed their uncle and greeted everyone around them before sitting down next to Chen Ming.
"Hahaha, Manman, Xiaoming, come to our house next weekend. Your Aunt Zhou said she would make fried meatballs for you." Wang Yang was also very happy when he saw the two familiar juniors.
A dark and strong middle-aged man nearby shouted to Xu Lei after hearing what Wang Yang said, "Leizi, this is really not fair. Our nephews and nieces come here to study, but why do you only let Wang Yang see them? Do you look down on us rough guys?"
Xu Lei smiled, holding his wine glass. "I brought you to meet him today. The kids were in a rush to go to school, so Wang Yang was the only one who lived nearby. He could help with anything. Besides, Lao Zhao, weren't you on a mission at that time?"
Zhao Sanjin chuckled, "I'm back now. I heard from Wang Yang that this kid of yours is the top scholar?"
"Each province is ranked individually, so I don't know what the national ranking is like. But being the provincial number one is pretty good. Fortunately, I went to the countryside a few years ago, so my child wasn't delayed."
Sun Zuyong smacked his lips. "What's wrong with this kid's brain? I get a headache whenever I read. My two brats are just like me. They took the college entrance exam last time and didn't even get into a junior college. I've locked them up at home for the past few months to study. If they fail the exam again, I'll throw them out."
Xu Lei advised slowly, "Alas, you can't force children to study. Take our child Manman for example. He has studied every day in the past few years in the countryside and even brought his brother to study with him. He is completely self-taught. We parents are far away and can't help much. Not interfering is the best support we can give to our children."
After all, the praise still comes back to Xu Manman.
Since Xu Manman was a child, she was often taken out by her parents to show off. Compared with her own parents, her uncle and aunt were more exaggerated in showing off their child. Even though she was experienced, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment and had to lower her head and drink water continuously.
Then Xu Lei talked about the child's education, family influence, genetic factors, and Xu Manman's second major in school. Naturally, there were a lot of compliments for Xu Manman, which made the uncles at the table look at Xu Lei with strange eyes.
Qian Hu took a sip of wine and asked Xu Lei with a red face, "Is our niece looking for a partner now? Uncle Zhao has three sons. She can pick whichever one she likes."
Such a smart girl will definitely give birth to good offspring. Although Qian Hu feels that his sons are not worthy of her, it does not stop him from fighting for her for his future grandson.
Xu Lei rolled his eyes at him. "Our child is still young, so let's not worry about these things. The most important thing is to complete her studies."
Qian Hu smacked his lips and wanted to say something else.
Wang Yang changed the subject. "Manman, the newspapers were reporting on Peking University and Tsinghua University a few days ago, right? They said there was a brawl involving hundreds of people. Are you and Xiaoming okay?"
Before Xu Manman could reply, Xu Lei spoke up, "This kid is timid. He was at the scene, but he avoided it after it happened. Fortunately, he wasn't affected. I heard that those people are seriously injured and are still in the hospital."
Wu Youfu, who was sitting opposite Xu Lei, frowned. "You see, these kids nowadays finally have the chance to go to school, but instead of studying hard, they're doing these dirty things in school. If it were us back then, we'd all be dragged out and court-martialed."
Zhao Sanjin said, "Times have changed. Back when the movement started, it was only the young people who were the most active. Ultimately, some people are fundamentally crooked."
Xu Lei raised his glass and said, "Let's not talk about this in front of the children. Come on, let's drink."
Chen Ming also clinked glasses with them, but Xu Manman didn't allow him to drink any wine and only served him juice.
Later, I heard a few people chatting and found out that they all came to Beijing for a meeting. Except for Zhao Sanjin and Wang Yang who were in the Beijing Military Region, the other three belonged to different military regions, but what they had in common was that their ranks were not low, so the value of this meal was self-evident.
After the meal, each uncle gave two small red envelopes and contact information. Xu Manman also figured out the purpose of the uncle's setting up this scheme, which was nothing more than being affected by the school's affairs.
This meal helped Xu Manman understand his network of contacts. From now on, he and his partner can walk sideways in Beijing and lie down directly. No one can harass them.
After all, they all have wooden poles, and they are very confident and powerful.
Xu Manman also learned that Xu Lei is expected to be transferred to Beijing in the next few years. This news is more surprising than receiving a lot of red envelopes.
