Chapter 165: Eating Soft Rice
Seeing this message claiming to be from a media company agent, Xu Boan didn’t take it seriously.
First of all, it is unrealistic for Chen Shishi to join the entertainment industry, at least for the time being.
Secondly, who knows whether this is true or not? What if it was just a random joke by a netizen?
Xu Boan has no time to distinguish the authenticity.
Therefore, after watching the barrage of comments section for a while, Xu Boan stopped paying attention.
I called my mother Tang Rongzhi and found out that my parents were still shopping in the Wanda Plaza mall, so Xu Boan strolled into the mall.
On the first floor of Wanda Mall, there are mostly jewelry stores and clothing stores.
The largest store is a sales department in the middle.
Wanda·Central Courtyard Customer Experience Center.
When Xu Boan bought the villa before, he bought it here.
As soon as Xu Boan entered the mall gate, he inevitably saw this place.
Glancing at it, I happened to see the sales manager Tang Xiaorou pointing at the sand table to introduce the house to the customer.
Inadvertently seeing Xu Bo'an passing by, Tang Xiaorou smiled very politely at Xu Bo'an as a greeting.
Xu Boan had a good impression of Tang Xiaorou. He nodded with a smile and left.
When Xu Boan found his parents, his mother Tang Rongzhi was looking at the new clothes she was wearing in front of the dressing mirror. Chen Pingping was diligently helping Tang Rongzhi with suggestions.
It can be seen that Tang Rongzhi is smiling, obviously very satisfied with this.
My father, Xu Jiancheng, was sitting boredly on the sofa nearby. There was a shoe box beside him, and he was wearing new footwear that was popular at the time.
Xu Jiancheng looked extremely uncomfortable sitting there, looking left and right, as if he was not used to such an environment.
Seeing Xu Boan coming, Xu Jiancheng hurriedly greeted him as if he had seen a savior.
"Bo'an, you're finally here. Your mother and the others are really energetic. It's been almost two hours and it's not enough!"
Xu Bo'an suddenly thought of his past self. Every time he went out to go shopping, For clothes, you have to look for a seat as soon as you enter the store.
Sure enough, for men, shopping is a very painful thing.
Xu Bo'an smiled and comforted his father and said: "Dad, my mother finally went to the shopping mall in the city. You should stay with her for a while."
Xu Jiancheng sighed: "Oh, it turns out that we were all planning to go back together today. When your mother heard that Xiao Chen wanted to go shopping with her, she immediately changed her mind. This is a big deal!"
Xu Bo'an said hurriedly: "Don't worry. Let's go, you guys have seen it, this house is big, why are you in such a hurry? Staying here for a while will give me a chance to fulfill my filial piety."
Xu Jiancheng said blankly. Xu Bo'an glanced at him and said: "You kid, where do you live? This house doesn't belong to you, right?"
Xu Bo'an was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "Ah? What are you talking about, Dad!"
Xu Jiancheng had an expression of "I don't know you yet" and said softly: "You kid, you really think that your mother and I are old fools. Your mother and I have known each other before, this villa costs a thousand How many thousand!
How long have you been working? Even if you earn a lot, you can't afford such an expensive villa, not to mention that you just got divorced a few days ago, so half of the money needs to be divided, right? ?”
Xu Bo'an didn't expect his father to suddenly mention this, and subconsciously explained: "Dad, I know you and mom are worried about me, but don't worry. In fact, my salary is more than you think, and we are mainly engaged in engineering. It’s about project dividends and bonuses. This house really belongs to me.”
Xu Jiancheng patted his son on the shoulder and said, “Bo’an, of course I know you have some money, otherwise the first two When your cousin gets married, you can't be so generous and spend so much money without blinking an eye. But if you want to say that this house is yours, do you have a real estate certificate? "
Xu Bo'an curled his lips, he really didn't have this thing. He had only bought the house a few days ago. The procedures with the developer and the bank had not been completed yet, and the real estate certificate had not yet been issued.
"Dad, I have a house purchase contract! If you don't believe it, I'll go back and show it to you." Xu Bo'an said confidently.
Xu Jiancheng waved his hands and said: "Let's not mention this. Your mother and I have discussed it. If our house is demolished, we should pay more for the demolition money. We should pay less for the house or not. Okay, it’s up to you to decide whether to use the money to buy a house or invest in a business. Anyway, your mother and I don’t have much to spend money on.” No. And I'm really not short of money now."
Xu Jiancheng patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Bo'an, I know you have been strong since you were a child, but I am not a big dad. I have never been able to help you. I finally have this opportunity, so I have to help you feel proud again!"
Xu Bo'an was confused again and asked: "What do you mean? ? Dad, I don’t understand why.”
Xu Jiancheng looked like he was a stranger and said, “You’re still pretending to be with me, right? That guy, Xiao Chen, is nice and willing to spend money on you.” , but we are men, we can't just eat soft food with peace of mind!"
"What? Eat soft food!" Xu Bo'an suddenly felt that he understood something.
Xu Jiancheng said softly: "You kid, you still don't admit it, do you? Your mother and I only knew that Xiao Chen sells clothes. We thought it was a small shop on the street. Who knew it was such a big store? I'm afraid it's worth a few million to do business in a shopping mall."
Xu Bo'an nodded and said truthfully: "Ah, yes, it's a few million."
"You kid, have you finally revealed your secret?" Xu Jiancheng looked as if he was like this.
“No, why did I reveal my secret?” Xu Boan smiled bitterly.
Xu Jiancheng chuckled and said: "That villa belongs to Xiao Chen, right?"
Xu Bo'an smiled helplessly: "Dad? Why do you think so!" "
Xu Jiancheng said confidently: "Haha, you have forgotten what your father and I used to do, as a member of the village joint defense team. I can't find any clues about this? Let's just say that in the villa, it's big. From the various household functions to the placement of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, Xiao Chen knows everything.
What about you? Find it! Besides, Xiao Chen doesn’t do such a big business every day. He is busy with us three times a day, takes us out to play, and takes your mother and I to the mall to buy clothes. To put it bluntly, It’s not all because people like you.”
Xu Bo’an smiled and joked: “Dad, why didn’t I realize that you have a rich imagination?”
Xu Jiancheng! Feigning anger: "Don't do this! Don't you just feel embarrassed to eat soft food? Think about it a little bit, what age are we in, happiness is the most important, just live a good life.
And your mother and I both think that Xiao Chen is a good and reliable person. When the demolition money for our family comes down, you can discuss how to invest. Xiao Chen's business is big, so you should ask for Xiao Chen's opinion. ”
Xu Boan suddenly understood why those sales groups selling health care products, health tea, foot soaking powder and the like would target the elderly.
I didn’t say it, the elderly really It's so easy to deceive.
It's so easy to trust someone.
Chen Pingping has only been with her parents for a few days, and she actually understands the mentality of the two elders.
But Xu Boan is quite happy, at least this can prove that his money is really not in vain, Chen Pingping has really entertained his parents.
Xu Boan also wants to explain. , I heard my mother Tang Rongzhi shouting: "Bo'an, don't tell me when you come. Come and help me see which of these two clothes looks better." "Originally, Tang Rongzhi lived a very poor life. In Xu Bo'an's memory, her mother rarely bought clothes.
It was not until the family's conditions improved that she was willing to buy some fabrics at the market. Making new clothes by herself.
Later, after Xu Boan's income was good, Tang Rongzhi was willing to go to People's Mall to buy new clothes during the New Year.
"Mom, these two pieces are beautiful, why don't we buy them together." For today's Xu Bo'an, let alone two pieces of clothes, he would buy two houses without blinking an eye.
"Nonsense, you kid, a prodigal son, Pingping, you have to help aunt take care of him, don't let him be too free."
Yes, it seems that the parents are right There is almost a consensus on the behavior of eating soft food by oneself.
Chen Pingping covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "Auntie, look, I just said that you look good in both of them. It's rare to come here to go shopping, so just buy them all. I have Gold card members here can also get a 10% discount!”
Xu Jiancheng reached out and touched Xu Boan’s arm, and said softly: “How much money does Xiao Chen have? Why are there so many in these stores? Everyone has her membership!”
Xu Bo’an said with a smile: “Dad, you’re overthinking it. Chen Pingping opened a shop here and became the boss. It’s not normal for the bosses to exchange membership cards for each other. Well!"
Xu Jiancheng nodded in understanding and said: "I just saw the sign posted at the door recruiting security guards. It said that security guards can pay more than three thousand a month. What do you think? If you ask Xiao Chen to help me ask, can I come here as a security guard?” It’s too tiring. It’s much more comfortable to work as a security guard in our company.”
Xu Jiancheng shook his head and said, “What’s the point of being comfortable?”
Xu Bo’an asked. : "Our family will soon become demolished and demolished, so why are you still thinking about earning this little money?"
Xu Jiancheng shook his head and said: "The land that is being demolished belongs to your grandparents and the others. To put it bluntly, it belongs to your mother and the others. I look like a freeloader."
"Co-authored You old man doesn't want to eat soft rice." Xu Bo'an looked at his old father with some resentment.
Xu Jiancheng said: "Stop talking nonsense, didn't I prepare a way out for myself in advance!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said: "Okay dad, I will help you solve this way out!" . I will take you around my company in a while and let you see what our company's security work is like."
While the two were chatting, Chen Pingping was already coaxing and grabbing. The clerk wrapped up Tang Rongzhi's old clothes and paid for the new ones.
"Xiao Chen, this is not possible, how can I keep asking you to pay."
Chen Pingping smiled: "Auntie, don't be polite to me, Bo'an You have helped me a lot. This little thing is nothing, but it’s a pity that you don’t like it in my store, otherwise I would give you a change of clothes every day.”
Tang Rongzhi smiled. Walking and chatting with Chen Pingping in front.
Xu Boan and his father Xu Jiancheng were walking behind, introducing his father to the surrounding shops from time to time.
While shopping, I followed Tang Rongzhi and Chen Pingping into a clothing store. Suddenly, a greeting sounded from the store.
"Mr. Xu!"
Xu Bo'an looked for fame and saw Liu Quan and a woman standing side by side in the clothing store, wondering what they were discussing.
I won’t talk about Liu Quan’s image, he is as greasy as ever.
But the woman next to him is in good condition.
The woman is about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a brown skirt, her hair spread over her shoulders is neatly combed, her complexion is fair and delicate, and her temperament looks very good.
If this outfit is paired with high heels, it should get extra points.
Probably to take care of the height difference between her and Liu Quan, the woman only wore a pair of shallow flat shoes.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Xu." Seeing Xu Bo'an looking at him, Liu Quan hurriedly came out to greet him.
Xu Bo'an didn't ask why your kid showed up here to go shopping even though it was a working day.
When a company starts to strictly control attendance, it means that the company is not far from bankruptcy.
Especially construction companies.
Besides, Liu Quan is still one of his own.
Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. My parents happened to come over and go shopping with them."
Liu Quan hurriedly gave warm greetings to Tang Rongzhi and Xu Jiancheng With eyes full of smiles, he reached out his hand first and said hello: "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Mr. Xu's subordinate. You can just call me Xiao Liu'er."
Xu Bo'an introduced with a smile: "Dad, My colleague."
Xu Jiancheng and Tang Rongzhi also smiled and greeted Liu Quan. When Liu Quan focused on Chen Pingping, Chen Pingping introduced herself calmly: "I am Mr. Xu's friend, hello. "
"Hello, hello!"
After that, Liu Quan didn't look at Chen Pingping again and focused on Tang Rongzhi again, saying, "Auntie, this is us. You can choose whatever you like in your own store."
Xu Bo'an was quite surprised and said, "You opened it?"
Liu Quan smiled and pointed. Pointing to the woman next to him, he said: "No, my wife was not in good health after she became pregnant, so she never went to work. Later, she opened this store in partnership with her sister. It can be regarded as a living, so she won't have to work all the time. Staying at home is so boring.”
The woman smiled slightly and nodded to Xu Bo'an, but said nothing.
A trace of discomfort flashed across Liu Quanquan's face, and he said softly: "After giving birth, my wife suffered from postpartum syndrome and became depressed. Although she is much better now, she still doesn't like to communicate with others, so I often take time out Come and have a look.”
Xu Boan nodded slightly. Although his memory was a little fuzzy, he remembered that when Liu Quan got married, he chose a good-looking woman from the same batch of new employees who entered the company for training. child.
When I heard Liu Quan mention it, my memories instantly overlapped, and it was the woman in front of me.
At this moment, he actually envied Liu Quan and his wife for their love, which was romantic and could withstand the storm.
A few people were chatting here, and suddenly, noisy sounds came from outside.
"Wow, there is a big star coming downstairs! Go and have a look."
"She is looking at houses at the sales department of Central Villa, and big stars also want to be here. Buy a house."
"I'll go, it's true, someone is live broadcasting on Kuaiyin, and it's her! The sons in my dormitory are all her fans, I have to call her out quickly."< br>
“Oh my God, it’s so beautiful and stylish.”
