Chapter 621 Double Happiness
Cheng Jiaxing has made a lot of preparations for the meeting with the Fang family.
It can even be said that he had thought about the situation of his meeting with Fang Gengsheng many times in his mind.
He even simulated in his mind what the two people would say.
There is only one reason for this, and that is he does not want to embarrass his son.
Fang Yuqing is a good girl, and Fang Yuqing's father, Fang Gengsheng, is the biggest figure he has ever met in his life.
In the past, Cheng Jiaxing felt that important people were people he should look up to.
And now, this big shot is his relative.
Although they had met once before, and after talking about their ages, Fang Gengsheng even called him brother.
However, when he met Fang Gengsheng, he still felt a little timid.
"Brother, don't be nervous. Just treat it as a meeting of in-laws from the village." Cheng Jiadong felt that his brother was a little strange. After guessing the reason, he poured a glass of water for Cheng Jiaxing.
Cheng Jiaxing sighed.
This is easy to say, but it is not easy to treat Fang Gengsheng as an ordinary person.
"Jiadong, when we meet later, please say more for me."
"I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might say something unpleasant."
Cheng Jiadong understood his brother's feelings. In fact, although he advised his brother not to be nervous, he was not so calm in his heart either.
After all, Fang Gengsheng's position is not ordinary.
And this place is also not the guesthouse in my hometown county.
As the men's party, they arrived at the hotel where they were going to have dinner in advance.
Cheng Xuyuan went to the gate of the hotel and waited for Fang Gengsheng and his family to arrive.
Just when the two were feeling nervous, they heard a burst of laughter coming from outside.
As the laughter sounded, the two looked up and saw Cheng Xuyuan walking over with Fang Gengsheng's family.
They had met each other several times during the engagement, so the two brothers Cheng Jiaxing looked at each other and quickly went up to her.
"Brother Cheng, you've worked hard along the way." Fang Gengsheng saw Cheng Jiaxing, smiled and held Cheng Jiaxing's hand, saying, "I'll tell Xuyuan that we'll go to your place to discuss the marriage."
"But he said that you said that according to the rules over there, the man must come over for marriage."
Cheng Jiaxing shook hands with Fang Gengsheng and said solemnly, "Xuyuan said you wanted to go to Chengjiazhuang, but I rejected it."
"We are the men, we cannot let Yuqing down in any way."
"What's more, there are sleeper berths along the way. We can reach Yanjing just by taking a nap on the train."
Cheng Jiadong stood aside and watched his brother and Fang Gengsheng greeting each other, and he felt relieved at once.
Although my brother is a little nervous, he is still handling the situation very appropriately.
After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down in the room that had been booked long ago.
The Fang family attached great importance to this marriage discussion. Not only did Fang Gengsheng and his wife come, but also Meng Dezhi and his wife.
However, the protagonists of the conversation at this time were Fang Gengsheng and Cheng Jiaxing.
Unconsciously, Fang Gengsheng had already taken the initiative in this conversation.
As for Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing, they were like a pair of mascots, sitting quietly on the side.
"Brother Cheng, we are very satisfied with Xu Yuan as our son-in-law."
After the food and drinks were served, Fang Gengsheng and Cheng Jiaxing drank two glasses of wine and then said with a smile: "They will soon face graduation, so I think it would be better for them to start a family and a career early, so we should worry less."
Cheng Jiaxing naturally would not object to his son getting married and starting a family.
He said solemnly: "Brother Gengsheng, your words touched my heart."
"I've been looking forward to them getting married soon."
"In the past, they could not rush to go to school."
"It's different now. They are about to graduate and it's time to get married."
At this point, Cheng Jiaxing continued, "We don't know much about the rules in Yanjing."
"But when we came here, we had already discussed it with Xuyuan's mother. No matter what, Yuqing must not be wronged."
"You see what they need for their marriage, and we will definitely prepare it."
Although Cheng Jiaxing knew that his son lacked nothing, the Fang family also had nothing to lack.
However, some statements are unavoidable.
Because this statement represents their family's attitude towards Fang Yuqing.
Fang Yuqing was sitting aside, just listening quietly, but when she heard Cheng Jiaxing's words, her face suddenly turned red.
But now was not the time for her to speak.
So she looked towards her father.
Fang Gengsheng smiled and said, "Brother, Xuyuan has prepared the house very well."
"Yuqing is good in everything else, but she is a little spoiled by me and her mother."
"I hope you can give her more guidance in the future."
"So she doesn't know anything."
Cheng Jiaxing didn't know what to say for a moment, and Cheng Jiadong, who was sitting next to him, said quickly: "Yuqing is well-educated and a top student. She will definitely live a good life in the future."
The protagonists of this meal were Fang Gengsheng and Cheng Jiaxing.
Because everyone had the same goal, the meal was filled with laughter.
I don’t know if it was to show his welcome to Cheng Jiaxing, his relative, but Fang Gengsheng raised his glass frequently this time, and as a result, several people got drunk.
As a junior, Cheng Xuyuan did not drink this time.
After bringing his father and uncle home to rest, Cheng Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He poured himself a cup of tea, then picked up the phone and dialed Fang Yuqing's home.
I learned from the phone call that they had just arrived home and Fang Gengsheng was now lying in bed resting.
"My mom just complained to my dad, saying that he drank too much and got Uncle Cheng and the others drunk." Fang Yuqing whispered, "But my dad didn't hear any of her nagging and went straight to sleep."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "They are happy to be together, so it's only natural for them to drink more."
"What are you going to do later?" Fang Yuqing asked.
"What else can I do? Just stay at home. They've both drunk too much. I'm worried about leaving them alone at home."
Fang Yuqing was a little disappointed when she heard Cheng Xuyuan's answer.
At this moment, she was still thinking about asking Cheng Xuyuan to go out for a stroll.
But what Cheng Xuyuan said made sense. The Cheng Jiaxing brothers drank so much and they couldn't do without someone to take care of them.
"Okay then, I'll review my lessons later. I heard we have an exam."
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Cheng Xuyuan hung up the phone reluctantly.
Sitting in the quiet main room, Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about the marriage plans and a smile appeared on his face.
He walked back and forth a few steps, and then he thought of Shen Yumo.
This should be my second marriage.
However, when he thought of Shen Yumo, he thought of Xiao Anan even more quickly.
Now Xiao Anan has started talking. He hasn't talked to Xiao Anan for a few days because he was busy with meetings.
Now he was extremely eager to call Xiao An An.
After a slight hesitation, Cheng Xuyuan directly dialed Shen Yumo's home phone number.
The phone rang three times, and Shen Yumo's pleasant voice came from the inside: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Cheng Xuyuan coughed and said, "I'm looking for Shen Yumo."
Although there was a crackling sound in the receiver of the phone, it did not prevent Shen Yumo from hearing clearly that it was Cheng Xuyuan who was speaking.
She smiled and said, "Xiao An'an just called you, but I didn't expect you to call me."
"But he just fell asleep from playing so hard."
"Why don't you wait until he wakes up and I'll call you again."
Cheng Xuyuan, who originally wanted to talk to his son, felt a little regretful when he heard Shen Yumo say this.
But he would not ask Shen Yumo to wake up his son just because he wanted to talk to him.
"Okay, just call him when he wakes up." Cheng Xuyuan felt it was a bit rude to hang up the phone at this time, so he casually asked, "What have you been busy with recently?"
Shen Yumo said with a hint of helplessness: "Busy with publishing matters."
"Two editors from a US publishing house came today and wanted to translate Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and have it published there."
"I managed all morning."
At this point, Shen Yumo also asked: "What about you? What are you busy with?"
When Cheng Xuyuan heard Shen Yumo's question, he was stunned.
Only then did he realize that it was not appropriate for him to tell Shen Yumo what he was doing.
But now, Shen Yumo has asked, how should I answer? Concealment is undoubtedly the easiest.
But some things cannot be hidden forever.
For example, he couldn't hide the fact that he was married to Fang Yuqing.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan took a breath and said, "My dad came to Yanjing and is having dinner with Fang Yuqing's family today."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't say why he had dinner, but there were some things that he believed Shen Yumo would understand even if he didn't say them.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan thought, Shen Yumo understood something when he heard what Cheng Xuyuan said.
After being stunned for a moment, she smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
"You're about to graduate."
"By the way, someone is calling me here. I'll hang up first."
As he spoke, Shen Yumo quickly hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Cheng Xuyuan felt a little touched.
He knew very well in his heart that Shen Yumo had already guessed the reason for the meeting.
But it's impossible to keep this kind of thing secret forever.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, the phone suddenly rang.
Cheng Xuyuan was stunned. He had just hung up the phone. Who was calling?
He picked up the phone and heard a stiff and awkward voice: "Excuse me, is Mr. Cheng Xuyuan home?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment, but still said: "Hello, I am Cheng Xuyuan, who are you?"
When the person on the other end of the phone heard Cheng Xuyuan's words, he immediately said excitedly: "Dear Cheng, this is Mike."
"Your old friend Mike!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan knew that this was Mr. Mike from Miren Publishing House.
Cheng Xuyuan was a little surprised that Mike called him at this time.
After all, it had been less than a month since Mr. Mike left, so why was he calling me at this time?
"Hello, Mr. Mike, why are you calling me at this time?" Cheng Xuyuan asked casually.
"Dear Cheng, I'm calling you this time because I have great news to tell you."
"You'd better calm down when I tell you this news."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless for a while.
However, he felt that what Mr. Mike said this time should be extraordinary.
He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Mike, please tell me if you have any news. I am very calm now."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, Mr. Mike smiled and said, "Dear Cheng, I want to tell you that the sales of your Game of Thrones this month have come out."
"In the United States, the sales of your book this month have reached three million copies."
"Cheng, you know what? You have created a miracle."
“Also, this book is also a best-seller in Europe.”
"Congratulations, you are going to be a billionaire."
Listening to Mr. Mike's words, Cheng Xuyuan felt that Mr. Mike was extremely excited.
Although the money is given to Cheng Xuyuan, Mr. Mike will also gain considerable benefits from this book.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mike, this is really good news."
"Cheng, aren't you excited?"
"Do you know how much money this kind of sales means will beckon you?"
"Now a film company has started to contact us. They want to make your book into a TV series or even a movie."
Mr. Mike was a little upset about Cheng Xuyuan's calmness, so he complained to Cheng Xuyuan in his words.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Of course I am excited, but I don't want to show this excitement for the time being."
"Cheng, we have proofread your second volume and are preparing to publish it next month."
"I believe that this second part will definitely sell better."
"By then, your income will definitely be higher."
"My dear friend, you should prepare to write the third part in advance." Mr. Mike spoke quickly, and it was obvious that he was still a little excited at this moment.
Cheng Xuyuan responded with a smile and prepared to hang up the phone.
But Mr. Mike continued, "Cheng, don't hang up the phone yet."
"There are many readers who want to meet you now."
"Our editor-in-chief would like to hold a book signing event for you when the second volume is published."
"This will definitely make the book Game of Thrones even more influential."
"Are you free to come to our place next month?"
Upon hearing this invitation, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Mike, please tell your editor-in-chief that I have been busy recently, so I can only appreciate his kindness."
Mr. Mike didn't expect Cheng Xuyuan to refuse such a good thing that would kill two birds with one stone. He couldn't help but said, "Dear Cheng, this kind of autograph activity will be of great benefit to you."
“Not only can it sell books, but it can also increase your popularity.”
"This is a rare good thing for you."
"We can also prepare air tickets for you. Also, this time the book signing event will not only be held in the United States, but also in many places in Europe."
"After this book signing event, more people will know you."
