Chapter 149: Wen Ting's Uncle
The car stopped in front of an old-looking courtyard. After getting out of the car, Cui Xue looked up and looked around for a long time until she heard Wen Ting's voice behind her.
"After the Wen family fell, my uncle moved here to live."
Cui Xue did not comment. In fact, as long as Wen's uncle did not get involved in the Wen family's mess, he would not have reached this point.
I think it should be that he himself couldn't get over it. He took the initiative to move here, and he didn't feel so uncomfortable.
"Lead the way." Cui Xue tilted her head and glanced at her.
Wen Ting took her to the innermost house on the third floor and knocked on the door. After a long time, the door was opened from the inside.
A thin middle-aged man, wearing old-fashioned round glasses on his face, the lenses were a little blurry, and it was hard to see the look in his eyes.
His black hair was mixed with many silver strands, which were combed neatly by him. He was wearing a simple and somewhat old white shirt. He looked like a strict and hard-to-talk teacher.
Inexplicably, Cui Xue felt a sense of urgency in facing the head teacher.
After calming down, she heard the conversation between Wen Ting and him.
"Uncle, this is my... a friend. She has something to discuss with you."
Wen Ting's uncle glanced at her, then turned his eyes to Cui Xue, looked at her, and was silent for a long time before replying, "Come in."
He turned and went into the house. Wen Ting glanced at Cui Xue and happened to meet Cui Xue's eyes. She was startled and lowered her head.
Cui Xue felt a little strange. According to Wen Ting's words, her uncle should be kind to her, not this lukewarm attitude.
But in this short time together, she didn't feel how kind Wen Ting's uncle was to her, but rather how unfamiliar he was.
Suppressing the emotions in her eyes, Cui Xue stepped into the dim little room.
This was actually a two-bedroom apartment, but the location was not good. There was a big tree in front of the house, blocking most of the sunlight, so it looked dim. There
were two people living in the house, in addition to Wen Ting's uncle, there was also his wife. Their children were not seen, and I wonder if they were working outside and hadn't come back.
After Cui Xue took a look, she sat on a chair at the invitation of Wen Ting's uncle's wife.
"Uncle..." Wen Ting opened her mouth to say something, but Cui Xue interrupted her directly.
"Wenting, I want to talk to your uncle alone."
The words on her lips were blocked back. Wen Ting was stunned for a moment, looked at Cui Xue, and then looked at her uncle.
The room was silent for a moment. Wen Ting pursed her lips and turned to leave the room hesitantly.
Also leaving were Wen Ting's uncle's lover and Cui Xue's driver and assistant.
After everyone left, only Cui Xue and Wen Ting's uncle were left in the living room.
Cui Xue did not hesitate and directly introduced herself and the purpose of her visit today.
"I know you." After hearing her words, Wen Ting's uncle spoke.
"When I brought Wen Ting back to the city from the countryside, I heard your name from her by chance. I didn't care at the time. Later, after the college entrance examination was resumed and the kid from the Chen family came back, he mentioned your name every time he quarreled with Wen Ting."
Cui Xue: ...
I always feel that my reputation has been damaged. It's been so long, and these two people can still pull her out and whip her corpse from time to time? It's really boring enough.
"The Wen and Chen families have such an end, but they deserve it. I don't need to say much about Wen Ting. I'm sure you have met her. She is not a good person. I help her like this. To be honest, I am just repaying her father's kindness."
This was unexpected by Cui Xue, but she was not unprepared. After all, when she just came, she saw that Wen Ting's uncle's attitude towards her was quite cold.
"But she really wants to help you." Cui Xue was silent for two seconds and replied politely.
Taking the things left by her grandparents to help him start the project again, how can this not be considered sincere?
"If I fall, then she will have no support at all, so she must be sincere."
Don't say it, it's really like what he said.
Now, apart from Wen Ting, he is the only one left in the Wen family.
He is a practical man. Even if he is implicated by his family, a skinny camel is stronger than a horse. If he doesn't have some connections, he can't protect Wen Ting and send her back to the city.
"I can't comment on what you said. I came here today not only for Wen Ting's commission, but also because I am interested in the topic you are researching."
As soon as Cui Xue said this, Wen Ting's uncle looked at her sharply, as if he was afraid that she would come to steal his results.
"Wen Ting and I have learned about the topic you want to develop. If it goes as expected, the project will definitely get a great response if it is invested in the logistics company under my name."
Seeing that his face was not very good, Cui Xue said, "I am a businessman. Business is business. I can invest in your topic and let you conduct research, but I have invested so much money, so there must be some return, right?"
"Of course, I am as patriotic as you. After the results are exhibited, I will share them with the country unconditionally."
Wen Ting's uncle paused, and the resistance on his face weakened a little, but with a little doubt.
"You can not believe my one-sided words, but I think you should know that the Dai family donates to the country every year for various construction. In fact, this proposal was made by me."
"I said, why are you..." Wen Ting's uncle suddenly realized.
He was just saying how familiar Cui Xue's name was, and thought that Wen Ting and the others had mentioned it too many times before, so he remembered it.
Unexpectedly, it was because he had heard this name from other people before, and it had a different meaning.
"The Dai family obeys your words." Wen Ting's uncle said this for a long time without any meaning.
Cui Xue lowered her head and smiled, laughing at his simplicity.
"You think that the Dai family obeys my words, but have you ever thought about how much benefit the Dai family gets by doing this?"
Seeing the confusion on his face, Cui Xue pointed it out directly.
"If it was the Dai family who experienced what happened to the Wen family and the Chen family, he would definitely not end up like you two families."
Wen Ting's uncle's face suddenly became very ugly, and the atmosphere became depressing.
Cui Xue let him digest it for a while, and then said: "A scientist like you has been doing research all his life and contributing to the motherland. Whether you can get up or not, it doesn't really matter to Wen Ting. As long as you don't want to be her backer, she can't do anything to you, don't you think?"
When the door opened again, it was Cui Xue who asked the assistant to bring the contract in for Wen Ting's uncle to sign.
Wen Ting, who was waiting anxiously, saw this scene and a smile appeared on her pale face.
After signing the contract, she did not leave with Cui Xue, but was kept by her uncle.
As for what the uncle and nephew wanted to say, Cui Xue was not interested.
