Chapter 91 Going to the Capital
The next day, when Xu Anan came to the door with a suitcase, Chen Zhan finally understood what the arrangement he was talking about was.
Xu Anan's suitcase contained a small amount of luggage, as well as some New Year's goods that had been delivered to her door. In short, there were many expensive supplements, all piled on the table.
She called out sweetly, "Grandma, Auntie, Happy Chinese New Year."
He didn't forget to secretly wink at Chen Zan.
Chen Zhan: “…”
What is Miss Xu, who is so busy this winter vacation, up to?
Chen Jiaohua said with a smile: "An An, why do you bring so many things when you come to play? I thought my grandson-in-law came to visit."
Xu Jing disagreed with her statement, "Mom, Chen Zhan doesn't even have a boyfriend. Don't even think about letting her neglect her studies to have a relationship."
Chen Jiaohua was unhappy. "Who told you that dating in college means neglecting your studies? This isn't puppy love in high school. Have you ever seen me stop you when you were dating before?"
Xu Jing retorted unhappily, "You should have stopped me then."
They were about to talk about sad things, and seeing that a quarrel might break out, Chen Zan was about to go up and interrupt when he heard Xu Anan scream and start to cry.
The noise stunned the three generations of people in the living room.
Even the nanny and Director Gu in the kitchen stuck their heads out.
"Auntie, Grandma, I'm so miserable." Xu Anan started acting straight out of the blue, "You said it's almost Chinese New Year, and my dad still has to let me go out of town alone to sign a contract, otherwise he won't let me go home for the New Year."
Chen Jiaohua frowned when she heard this, "Your dad is really something, letting you go on a long trip at this time."
Xu Anan nodded frantically, "Yeah, yeah, you said it's Chinese New Year, everyone else is on vacation and lying at home, but I still have to go on a business trip."
"Then I'm not familiar with your father either." Chen Jiaohua thought Xu Anan came to complain and ask for help, which was embarrassing for this old woman.
Xu Anan almost couldn't help laughing when she heard that. "Grandma, I won't let you tell my dad. Just lend me Zhan Zhan."
Chen Jiaohua understood, "Are you asking Zhanzhan to go with you?"
Chen Zan also understood the purpose of Xu Anan's visit. Zhou Jingyu asked President Xu to put Anan into the company's project with just one sentence, and now he is setting his sights on her.
Chen Jiaohua thought it was something else, "Why don't you just talk to Zhanzhan about this matter?"
Xu Anan, "Oh, I'm afraid you won't agree, grandma."
Chen Jiaohua: "I agree, I agree. I'll be gone for a few days. I hope I can come back in time for the New Year."
"I'll only be gone for two days, and I'll be back on the 29th. I still have to spend New Year's Eve with my family."
"That'll do."
Chen Jiaohua was easy to talk to and agreed immediately.
Xu Anan just gave Chen Zan a wink.
Xu Jing suddenly asked, "It's Chinese New Year, which company hasn't had a holiday yet?"
Xu Anan was stunned for a moment, but fortunately she was prepared. She said the name of the company and even the signed project contract was in the box, and showed it to Xu Jing.
After Xu Jing finished reading, she found that the address was in Zhonghai City. Then the Queen said to Chen Zhan, "Then go with An An. Just treat it as a two-day trip."
Before Chen Zhan could smile, Xu Anan threw herself into Xu Jing's arms, "Auntie, you are so kind. Don't worry, I will take good care of Zhan Zhan."
Chen Zan had never been as enthusiastic and coquettish as Xu Anan. When he threw himself into Xu Jing's arms, she was obviously stunned and didn't know what to do with such enthusiasm.
Chen Zhan was also a little stunned when watching this scene. An An must often interact with her mother like this at home, so it becomes a habit. Chen Zhan sometimes acts like a spoiled child like her grandmother, but he is extremely restrained.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little envious of the relationship between Xu Anan and her mother.
Xu Jing pulled Xu Anan out of her arms unnaturally and said, "I'm going to go see how the food is going in the kitchen."
Xu Anan pushed Chen Zan into the room and the two of them talked in whispers.
She raised an eyebrow at Chen Zan, "How is the task Mr. Zhou assigned?"
Chen Zhan: "Uh...you've worked hard."
Xu Anan waved her hand and said, "It's my duty to do things for Mr. Zhou."
Chen Zhan looked at her suspiciously, "That's not what you said when you scolded him on the phone a few days ago."
Xu Anan: "Zhanzhan, money makes the world go round."
Mr. Zhou gave her so much money, she must do things properly.
Chen Zhan probably knew how Zhou Jingyu bribed her, "But why go to Zhonghai City?"
"It's simple. I'll go to Zhonghai City and you go to Beijing." Xu Anan really wanted to fly to Zhonghai City to deliver the documents.
Chen Zhan's breathing tightened. He didn't expect that this was a secret plan.
Xu Anan patted her shoulder and said, "I've thought of everything for you. I'll take some photos of Zhonghai City's buildings. Remember to send them to your mother so she won't get suspicious."
Zhou Jingyu booked a first-class ticket for her that afternoon, and Xu Anan drove her to the airport, "Zhanzhan, go have fun."
Chen Zhan held the plane ticket to Beijing: "Thank you, An An."
It was her first time flying to Beijing, and it turned out not to be as far as she had imagined. It actually took less than three hours to fly.
When the plane landed, Zhou Jingyu called on time.
He was tied up in the old house today and couldn't come pick her up, so he said Zhang Qing had already come to pick her up.
Chen Zan said sensibly, "Okay, Zhou Jingyu had returned to the capital early and had a lot of things to do, so it was understandable that he didn't have time to turn around."
Zhang Qing went to the airport and took her suitcase, "Ms. Chen."
Chen Zhan said politely, "Secretary Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Qing smiled and said, "That's all as I should. I'll take you to Jinfutai first, not Mr. Zhou's residence."
Chen Zan was puzzled. "Don't you want to stay in a hotel? Wouldn't it be too troublesome to stay at home?"
Zhang Qing explained, "Mr. Zhou lives alone."
Then she felt relieved.
On the way back and forth from her residence, Chen Zan kept looking at the streets outside. In fact, she was not afraid of being laughed at by Zhang Qing if she said it out loud, because this was her first time in the capital.
Zhang Qing looked at her in surprise.
The Xu family fell into decline after moving to Rongchuan, but their previous family fortune remained. Just look at the courtyard where the old lady lives, it is full of old items, including the bracelet worn by Chen Zan. Her mother also has a good job.
Although they can’t catch up with the rich, they are richer than the average family. Their family definitely has enough money to travel.
Afraid that Zhang Qing might misunderstand, he explained, "Grandma and the others have never asked me for money since I was a child. The capital is like a forbidden place for our family."
Zhang Qing said, "So that's how it is." He thought to himself that the reason why Grandma Xu didn't like Mr. Zhou's children from wealthy families might be related to the late Grandpa Xu. After being demoted to Rongchuan, he felt resentful towards the capital, so he didn't allow Miss Chen to come?
Chen Zan had already witnessed the Zhou family's financial strength in Rongchuan, but it was only when he came to the capital that he truly saw the princes and nobles.
Courtyard No. 7, Jinfutai, is built halfway up the mountain. Just before going up the mountain, one has to pass through heavy inspection by guards. The higher one goes, the stricter the document checks become.
Zhang Qing explained, "The people who live here are not ordinary people. Mr. Zhou also found it troublesome to live here, but he went to Rongchuan not long after he came back and didn't have time to buy another house."
Chen Zhan had eyes and could see that if the people living here were simple, there wouldn't be so many guards. Even on the road just at the foot of the mountain, there weren't any foreign vehicles. One could tell that the people coming in were of high status just by looking at the license plate numbers.
