Chapter 287 Cheng Xuyuan, the Unambitious One
Meng Fanyue saw the change in her sister's expression and felt that something was wrong.
She glanced at the person who was talking to her sister and found that it was a service staff of her sister's family. When she arrived, the person even greeted her.
"What's wrong?" Meng Fanyue asked Meng Fanjin.
Meng Fanjin sighed and said, "We had a fight!"
"Who quarreled?" Meng Fanyue, who asked this question, seemed to realize something: "Sister, are you talking about Yuanfeng?"
"Apart from this troublesome person, who else could it be?"
As Meng Fanjin spoke, he walked out: "I'll go and bring them over."
"You're so old, and you're arguing outside, and you don't know how to be ashamed!"
Looking at her angry sister, Meng Fanyue felt helpless.
She hesitated for a moment and followed.
Fang Yuanfeng also grew up under her care, and when her nephew and his wife had a quarrel, she also wanted to help mediate.
When I arrived at the gate, I saw Fang Yuanfeng glaring at his nephew's wife Jiang Hongxue with eyes that looked like he wanted to eat someone.
They both saw Meng Fanjin and Meng Fanyue walking over almost at the same time. Jiang Hongxue burst into tears instantly and staggered towards the two of them.
"Mom, aunt, we can't live like this!"
Hearing this, Meng Fanjin hurriedly comforted her: "Hongxue, tell me what happened. I can't teach him a lesson, and there is still your father!"
As he spoke, Meng Fanjin said to Fang Yuanfeng, "Come here."
Although he was a little reluctant, Fang Yuanfeng still had some concerns when facing his mother.
With a hint of reluctance, he still came over and greeted, "Mom, Auntie."
"What happened?" Meng Fanjin lost his good face towards his son and said angrily, "How many times have I told you not to quarrel over trivial matters? What's wrong with you? What do you want to do?"
"You ask her!" Fang Yuanfeng said with a hint of indignation, "I haven't even finished reading my set of 'Swordsman', but she lent it to me without saying anything!"
"How can there be such a person as her?"
Hearing this, Meng Fanyue breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not a matter of principle.
She was not quite sure what "Swordsman" was, but since it could be loaned out, it was an item.
Meng Fanjin snorted and said, "What's wrong with lending it out?"
"Isn't it just a set of books?"
"I'm telling you, you need to focus on your work."
"You are already so old, you can't be idle and read martial arts novels all day long. If you continue to be so obsessed, I will let Xiao Cheng take the book back from you!"
At this point, she turned to Jiang Hongxue and said, "Hongxue, I have already criticized him for this matter."
"If you have any problems in the future, don't argue with him, just come to me directly."
"I'll let your dad take care of him!"
The "your father" that Meng Fanjin mentioned is naturally Fang Gengsheng.
Fang Yuanfeng was very dissatisfied with his mother's partiality. How could his mother, who was well-educated and sensible, protect his wife without knowing right from wrong when he and his wife quarreled, and refused to take his side, even if he was not at fault.
However, facing his strong mother, he had no choice but to accept it.
Meng Fanyue came to Fang Yuanfeng and said, "You are really capable of quarreling with your wife over a novel. You are becoming more and more promising."
"Okay, let's go home."
Facing his aunt Meng Fanyue's lecture, Fang Yuanfeng muttered, "That's a complete collection of Mr. Cha's works signed by himself. She doesn't even know how to cherish it for me."
Looking at her nephew's appearance, Meng Fanyue felt helpless.
When children grow up, it is difficult to control them.
It’s already difficult to manage my own Lu Yuling, let alone an adult like Fang Yuanfeng.
"This is all Cheng Xuyuan's fault!" Jiang Hongxue muttered.
"Why do you blame Xiao Cheng?" Fang Yuanfeng said, "He gave me the book, which was a great honor for me. It was a favor from him."
"If you keep talking nonsense like this, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Meng Fanjin slapped his son on the back, which ended the dispute.
"How is this matter related to Xiao Cheng?" Meng Fanyue asked Meng Fanjin.
Meng Fanjin said: "Xu Yuan participated in the exchange group to Hong Kong, so Mr. Cha from Hong Kong gave him a complete collection of his works."
"Xiao Cheng thought Yuanfeng would like this set of martial arts novels, so he just gave it to him."
"But this kid, just to read a novel, he forgot to eat and sleep."
At this point, she sighed and said, "I am six or seven years older than Xiao Cheng. When will I be able to mature?"
If it were in the past, Fang Yuanfeng would definitely stand up when he heard his mother say this.
But now, he had taken Cheng Xuyuan's book and felt he couldn't keep it to himself, so he chose to remain silent on this matter.
So as to avoid any further harm to Cheng Xuyuan.
When I got home, I saw Cheng Xuyuan still chatting with Fang Gengsheng and Lu Fangzhi.
And judging from their expressions, it seemed that this chat was quite pleasant.
Lu Fangzhi listened to Cheng Xuyuan's words and nodded from time to time.
Meng Fanjin admires her brother-in-law who has outstanding abilities.
He is not only capable, but also has a good vision. Recently, the responsibilities on his shoulders have become heavier and heavier.
I heard that it seems that a heavier burden will fall on him.
The fact that he values Cheng Xuyuan speaks volumes about his abilities.
At the beginning, Cheng Xuyuan, Fang Gengsheng and others were talking about "Things about the Ming Dynasty", and unknowingly, they talked about the purpose of Lu Fangzhi's return this time.
Lu Fangzhi's job is going to be transferred again.
When he came back for the talk this time, Lu Fangzhi was given two choices.
One option is to continue staying in Guangdong Province, and the other option is to go to a place closer to Yanjing.
Lu Fangzhi was still hesitating at this time, and came to Fang Gengsheng because he wanted to hear Fang Gengsheng's ideas.
Fang Gengsheng didn't give any good suggestions in this regard. After all, he was not good at this.
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's comments on "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Lu Fangzhi asked Cheng Xuyuan: "Xiao Cheng, in my current situation, what do you think I should choose?"
Hearing this question, Fang Gengsheng glared and said, "Old Lu, don't let Xiao Cheng make random suggestions on this matter."
"After all, he doesn't understand these things."
Lu Fangzhi smiled and said, "I'm not asking him for advice, I just want to hear what he thinks."
"After all, a bystander sees more clearly."
"What's more, he is an expert in studying history. Learning from history may give me different ideas and inspiration."
At this point, he turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, tell me."
After listening to Lu Fangzhi's introduction, Cheng Xuyuan actually already had an idea in his mind.
But there are some things he is not willing to participate in.
If Lu Fangzhi didn't ask, he would never tell it on his own initiative.
But now that Lu Fangzhi asked, and Lu Fangzhi is Fang Yuqing's uncle-in-law, it's not a problem for me to reveal it occasionally.
But Cheng Xuyuan was not prepared to give his answer directly, as that would make people think too much.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I think everyone wants to live a better life now."
"We also need to increase our connections with the outside world, such as our visit to Hong Kong this time."
“I believe there will be more exchanges in the future.”
“And it’s not just cultural, it’s economic as well.”
"From a geographical point of view, the place where you are now has too many favorable conditions for contacting the outside world. I think that many attempts in the future will start from there."
After saying this, Cheng Xuyuan shut up.
If it were an ordinary person, listening to Cheng Xuyuan's confusing words, they would treat them as a bunch of nonsense and ignore them.
But Lu Fangzhi is different.
He himself is engaged in this kind of work and can be considered an expert in this area.
The most important reason for being confused is that you are in the mountain.
And hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, he felt as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had appeared.
He felt that many scattered things were suddenly connected after Cheng Xuyuan's guidance.
The doubts in his mind seemed to be cleared up.
"Hahaha, Xiao Cheng, I came to the right place today."
"One word from you is worth ten years of reading!"
"Lao Fang, wait a minute, I must have a couple of drinks with Xiao Cheng."
Lu Fangzhi stood up a little excitedly, walked back and forth a few steps and said, "Xiao Cheng, your analysis just now was very insightful and spot-on!"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the excited Lu Fangzhi and knew that he had heard what he said.
Cheng Xuyuan was also very happy about this.
After all, no one wants their advice to be ignored.
He said modestly: "Uncle Lu, I am actually just guessing based on the facts. You can make the best decision because you are standing high and seeing far."
Lu Fangzhi became even happier when he heard Cheng Xuyuan's words without any boasting.
He has also seen many capable young people, but most of them are somewhat arrogant.
Although Cheng Xuyuan gave me a lot of tips, he never took credit for himself, which is very rare.
"Xiao Cheng, what are you going to do after graduation?" Lu Fangzhi, who was becoming more and more interested in Cheng Xuyuan, had already developed a talent for him.
Cheng Xuyuan is very capable, and he is also a student of Yenching University. If he can be properly trained, his future may be limitless.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Lu Fangzhi's expression and had some idea of what Lu Fangzhi meant.
But he had no idea in this regard.
So he smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, I like to write something when I have nothing to do. I think in the future, I should either take a part-time job in the school, or just focus on writing."
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Lu Fangzhi a little disappointed.
He felt that it would be a shame not to cultivate such a good seedling well.
So after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Xiao Cheng, you still have several years to graduate, so there is no need to rush to make a decision."
"But I think you still need to set some lofty ambitions."
"After all, all kinds of work in the future will require young talents like you."
Fang Gengsheng felt emotional as he looked at Lu Fangzhi who was giving frank advice.
His brother-in-law was a proud man himself, but now, he looked at Cheng Xuyuan differently, not just because Cheng Xuyuan was Fang Yuqing's boyfriend.
More importantly, he values Cheng Xuyuan's abilities.
It’s just a pity that Cheng Xuyuan seems to have no ambition. He only wants to write and has no interest in other things.
Facing Lu Fangzhi's sincere persuasion, Cheng Xuyuan felt that he would not change his decision even if he graduated again, but at this moment, he could only say: "Thank you, Uncle Lu, I will definitely think about it carefully."
"That's right, young people, you should be more responsible." Seeing that Cheng Xuyuan did not refuse, Lu Fangzhi said with a smile on his face.
