Chapter 214 Encounter
Liu Wenwen is 24 years old this year, which is considered an old girl nowadays. A few days ago, her family introduced her to a boy. After meeting him, she felt he was pretty good.
So, they made an appointment to have dinner again today.
She looked around the newly opened state-owned restaurant, which was indeed very upscale, and was very satisfied that the man next to her could arrange to have dinner here.
The blind date's family was well-off and capable, so she decided to seize this opportunity. After all, she couldn't afford to delay any longer.
In fact, with Liu Wenwen's conditions, it is not difficult for her to find a good partner.
She has a formal job and is pretty, the reason it has been delayed until now is because she has a bad reputation.
He is always reporting this female colleague or that female colleague. Honest and decent people would not dare to marry such a troublemaker.
But having a formal job is such a big plus that it still attracts many people, but most of them come from families that are not well off and are just looking for a job.
Naturally, she looked down on such a family.
Life is finally getting better now, why would we jump into such a quagmire again!
In fact, people like Liu Wenwen can be said to be both a responsible and independent person.
She looked down on other lesbians who enjoyed a good life and lived a luxurious life, but she herself envied this kind of life, so when her blind date brought her here for dinner, she thought about getting married.
This state-owned restaurant is twice as expensive as other places. When she goes to work tomorrow and tells her colleagues about it, they will definitely be envied.
She likes the feeling of being envied by others.
When she was a child, she could only envy the luxurious life of the young ladies and gentlemen in her employers' families, but she had to help with housework ever since she could remember.
The young ladies and gentlemen ate delicacies from land and sea every day, and she could only watch. Although they would occasionally give her a bite of alms, what was the difference between that and sending away stray cats and dogs?
She would not appreciate it, it would only make her hate those people even more.
We are all human beings, why should we be divided into different classes?
At that time, she would think about the unfairness in her heart every day. Fortunately, God heard her voice and punished those arrogant young masters and young ladies.
Let them fall into the quagmire and their identities will be despised by others.
"Comrade Liu, please eat." Wang Jiajun saw that she didn't move her chopsticks and thought she was embarrassed, so he reminded her.
Liu Wenwen nodded absentmindedly. When she saw Lin Xiuzhu come in, her good mood disappeared.
In fact, she had only met Lin Xiuzhu once, three years ago, but she could still remember that face.
But it was obvious that no one remembered her.
Looking at the two dishes in front of her and then at Lin Xiuzhu's large table of dishes, her previous pride seemed like a joke.
I heard Lou Yanyu talk about it. She said that her cousin's wife didn't have to go to work at all. She just painted at home, made clothes for herself, and even had someone to help her with the housework.
How can a woman without a job have such a comfortable life?
She went to get off work and got off work on time every day, and still did her job as usual.
It’s not fair, it’s not fair at all!
Just like when she was a child she hated her background.
The desire to destroy the other party popped up again.
"What's wrong? Are you not liking the food?" Gu Yu asked his son with concern while feeding him.
Xiuzhu just paused for a moment. She didn't expect that the man in front of her actually noticed it. She felt a little sweet in her heart, and her voice became soft unconsciously. "No, it's delicious."
She just had the illusion that she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, as if it was hovering around her, ready to attack at any time.
Maybe she was overthinking it. Xiuzhu didn't think about it anymore. She picked up the chopsticks and continued to taste the delicious food on the table.
"Let me feed Yaoyao. You must be hungry after a day's work. I feel bad for you." Xiuzhu had a small appetite and felt full after just a few bites of each dish. She pretended to snatch the bowl from Gu Yu's hand.
She has always been like this, always putting herself first. Only when she is full and satisfied will she be in the mood to think about her good son and good husband across the street.
Gu Yu was already used to this, he knew his wife was full.
"Mom, I'll eat by myself. I don't want you to get tired." Gu Chuyao said sensibly.
Ever since he could remember, Gu Yu had taught him subtly to love his mother and put her first, so he didn't want his mother to take care of him.
Xiuzhu raised her hand and scratched her son's nose, saying gently, "Hey, Mommy, be good."
Gu Chuyao can eat by himself now, but after all, he is still a child under 3 years old, and sometimes he accidentally gets rice grains on his clothes.
Now that they are outside, Xiuzhu doesn't want her clean little sweet baby to become a dirty kid.
It would be fine if I were at home and Aunt He was watching over me.
After the family of three finished dinner, Gu Yu got up and asked the front desk staff for two lunch boxes.
Nowadays people pay attention to practicality, so the dishes given were large in quantity, but they only ate half of it. They were all good stuff, so they naturally couldn’t be wasted.
"Deputy Mayor Gu, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here by chance. Since we have met, it must be fate. I would like to invite you to have a few drinks at my table."
Gu Yu took the lunch box from the waiter and was about to look for Xiuzhu when he was stopped by someone coming over.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit. Gu Yu had seen him before. He was the brother-in-law of the current mayor of Shanghai, but the two were not familiar with each other and had never had any intersection at work.
Gu Yu has been in Shanghai for three years. There have been seven deputy mayors in total, and he has climbed from the last to the first.
In the Shanghai Stock Exchange, it can be said that he is second only to one person and above ten thousand people.
What's more, Mayor Cui is approaching retirement age, and anyone with a discerning eye can see how bright his future is.
So, this is also the reason why the mayor's brother-in-law wants to get close to Gu Yu.
His brother-in-law retired in the past two years, but how could someone who once held power be willing to give it up?
Mayor Cui wanted to train his own people, but his only son was disobedient and went to the countryside.
The son-in-law is obedient and has some ability, but it's a pity that he met Gu Yu.
With pearls and jade in front, the ones behind will naturally appear dull and dim.
They can't compare in ability, but Gu Yu has the Gu family behind him, so there's still no comparison.
The mayor's brother-in-law is a shrewd man. He doesn't want Gu Yu to think that he and Mayor Cui are in the same boat.
So, when I met Gu Yu by chance, I wanted to do him a favor.
"It turns out to be Section Chief Zhang. What a fate we have. But it's not very convenient today. My son is sleepy and we are anxious to go home. How about this, I will prepare a separate table next time, and we can have a good drink and chat." Gu Yu said with a gentle attitude, and did not reject the goodwill of Mayor Cui's brother-in-law.
Saying "let's meet again some other time" is also a polite remark.
Section Chief Zhang has been working for so many years and has become a shrewd man. Seeing that Gu Yu declined politely but had a good attitude, he did not bother him any further. After saying a few polite words, he returned to his table.
