"Woof woof woof..."
The podocarpus tree worth tens of millions still has the same weird shape, but the sudden barking sound attracted the attention of Jiang Chen, who had just entered the manor.
Take a closer look.
It is a big white dog with a bright body.
Jiang Chen instantly thought of Goudan, who had been sent to the town police station to serve as a police dog in Wu Sheng's mouth.
But this one is not a Tibetan mastiff, it seems to be... a big white bear?
Should still be underage.
And it is different from the free-range ones like Goudan. Looking at the hair of this great white bear, it is obvious that it eats refined food.
At that time Jiang Chen wasn't even afraid of Goudan, and now it was even less likely that he would be frightened by this "little white", not to mention that he was still wagging his tail at him.
"What is it called?"
With a lazy voice, Jin Hai's second generation appeared.
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, "You have a day off today?"
"Isn't today the weekend."
Shi Qianxi walked to the big white bear and said softly: "Shut up Mouth.”
Please.
That's a dog.
Not a human being.
But the strange thing is that the big white bear seemed to really understand, and actually stopped barking, but its tail was still wagging very fast, like a fan.
“You still have the weekend?”
Jiang Chen teased, of course he knows today’s date, after all, he is also a hard-working “social animal”.
People who don’t know what day it is are generally very happy.
"Is this a big white bear?"
Shi Xixi glanced at him and said, "You know a lot about dogs."
Listen to this.
Why is it a bit like swearing?
Jiang Chen had no grudges and looked at the clean big white bear, "This is a fierce dog and must be kept on a leash."
You are so law-abiding.
Even if it doesn’t assess large taxpayers, the city government should at least award them with a Five Good Citizen Award.
“I’m not going out. This is my house. What kind of rope should I tie?”
Jiang Chen was speechless,
yes.
If you are walking your dog in your own home instead of in a public place, what kind of leash should you tie it to?
Although the area of this "home" is a bit larger.
“Bite him!”
Shi Xixi suddenly gave an order.
“Woof!”
The underage white bear seemed to be really able to understand people’s thoughts, and immediately spread out its limbs and rushed towards Jiang Chen.
I'm going.
Is this bitch still stubborn?
The person who is close to the ink is the black man. After staying with that boy Wu Sheng for a long time, he has learned all the catchphrases.
Although it is only a juvenile, it is a fierce dog after all. Its current size is larger than that of an average dog when it is an adult, and its momentum of running wildly is still very intimidating.
Because he was a guest, Jiang Chen did not bring any bodyguards.
"Xiao Qi, come here."
A shout sounded.
The big white bear that had already charged up suddenly stopped with its limbs rubbing against the stone ground, then turned around and ran to Shi Zhenhua's feet.
"Haha, it's just playing with you, it won't bite."
Xiao Qi?
Miss Shi would definitely not choose such a name.
This generation in the East China Sea, a legend in the shopping mall, and a tycoon who made almost everything from scratch, seems to have become much gentler after his retirement.
“It’s called Xiaoqi?”
"Well, because I was born in July. The same month as Qianqian."
"Dad!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing.
“Come in and sit.”
Shi Zhenhua greeted and led the dog around the manor.
The table has been set up in the yard.
The nanny is serving dishes one by one.
It's still early.
It’s just after five o’clock.
More than enough time to have a meal before dark.
The bodyguards took Xiao Qi away.
“What do you want to drink?”
“Uncle Shi, I’m driving.”
It’s not pretentious.
And it has become a habit.
"What do you have here? Let Sissi give it to you."
Shi Zhenhua did not give Jiang Chen a chance to shirk it. He made his own decision and asked the nanny to take out a bottle of treasure from the wine cellar.
"The Laojiao gifted by a friend is said to be fifty years old, but I haven't drunk it yet. Let's try something new today."
Fifty years?
This wine is two rounds older than me.
"Uncle Shi, no reward for no merit."
Jiang Chen smiled flattered.
“You’re such a naughty boy.”
Shi Zhenhua joked, his tone even more intimate than before.
"Dad, this wine is so much older than him. Drinking it will shorten your life."
As expected.
People wear masks when outside.
Back home, Shi Xixi is still the same Shi Xixi.
"Xiao Jiang supports your Chen Guang so much, is this how you thank him?"
Shi Zhenhua scolded.
It's just that it's a bit subtle to deliberately mention the name Chen Guang on this occasion.
The key point is that Mr. Jiang is also a talented person, and he actually replied with a smile: "It's just a meager effort."
This is not humility.
Such a big capitalist.
Ordered one.
It was indeed my meager strength that prevented me from running away.
"Then how should I thank you? To express my gratitude?"
Shi Qianqian was still not a good person and responded easily, leaving her father speechless.
Jiang Chenquan pretended not to hear.
When he was still in college, the former mistress of this manor came to him with her bank card and asked to "beat the couple", so this kind of joke in this environment is not harmful at all.
"Uncle Shi, I'll do it."
Jiang Chen took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment and stood up to pour the wine.
“Pour me some too.”
Shi Qianxi handed over a cup.
Drinking is not a problem for her, not to mention that in her position, she cannot avoid socializing outside.
"Okay."
But who knew that this guy would actually fill up her cup, even though it was only one tael.
Sunset Courtyard.
Rose trees and strange rocks.
The food and wine are delicious.
The nanny was not far away.
Even more peripheral are the bodyguards.
“Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your hospitality.”
Jiang Chen was the first to raise his glass.
"Hey, we are separated. I have told you before that you can treat this place as your own home."
"You should drink."
They talked By the time, Shi Xixi had already taken a sip.
The two men looked at each other and smiled, then drank,
"Try the food."
Shi Zhenhua picked up the chopsticks, "This is your most special hot dry noodles , I asked the chef to make it specially, I don’t know if it is as authentic as yours.”
I'm interested.
"Is there something wrong with Uncle Shi?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
“Isn’t eating a thing?”
Shi Zhenhua said seriously, then smiled, “There is indeed something I want to talk to you about.”
>"Uncle Shi, just say it straight."
Whether he was an insignificant college student back then or a glorious member now on the black list of the West, Jiang Chen has always been humble and polite.
As an entrepreneur, what you value may be conditions and benefits.
But from the perspective of an elder, it is this quality of sticking to one's heart that is favored.
Even if the wind blows.
My heart is pure and small.
"Dad, I told you, don't worry about it."
Shi Zhenhua was about to speak, but Shi Xixi interrupted first, as if he was playing a riddle.
Jiang Chen looked at her and became a little curious for no reason. What could cause differences between father and daughter?
"I don't want to take care of it, but as an elder, you still have to say what you should say. As for whether you are willing to listen or not, it depends on Xiao Jiang himself."
"Uncle Shi, what is going on?" Jiang Chen ask.
"It's the problem of that school in Xin'an."
After explaining, Shi Xixi frowned and said to her father: "Dad, I think you have healed and forgotten the scar." It hurts.”
Shi Zhenhua almost failed to save him when he was in an accident, but he couldn’t escape his connection with the Japanese.
Shi Qianqian must be speaking out of concern, which is completely different from Wu Sheng contradicting his father, but no matter what, her tone is still a bit harsh, and it is more or less disrespectful to her parents.
"Why are you talking to Uncle Shi?"
The sudden and unexpected admonishment sounded in vain.
The courtyard became quiet for a while.
Don’t talk about Shi Qianqian.
Even Shi Zhenhua was a little confused and looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment.
In fact, as soon as the truth came out, Jiang Chen regretted it. The only thing to blame was that he was now shouldering the responsibility of educating the Martial Saint, so it became a natural habit to talk.
It’s better now.
Both father and daughter looked at him distractedly.
"How did Uncle Shi know about this?"
Explanation?
There's no way to explain it.
It would only become darker and darker, so Jiang Chen simply changed his focus.
Shi Zhenhua's eyes were slightly strange, but how could a thousand-year-old fox not understand "the ways of the world"? He did not dwell on the issue of whether Jiang Chen's education to Shi Qianqian just now was appropriate, and he changed the subject.
“It was the leader of the education department who told me.”
Jiang Chen nodded and did not express his position.
It’s not enough to describe how impressed we were after three days apart.
Shi Zhenhua watched this young man move up step by step with his own eyes.
From a college student who was not worth mentioning in their eyes to an official who is now a high-ranking official in the temple, he has to rely on middlemen to talk to him.
Shi Zhenhua slowly picked up the wine glass and gestured to Jiang Chen.
"Xiaojiang, you and Sissi are both young people. I can completely understand your mood, but you have just been to Japan not long ago, so you should know how to control your subjective emotions sometimes."
If someone were to say this kind of thing, it would definitely be ridiculous and high-sounding. But Shi Zhenhua, who almost lost his life, has an irreconcilable blood feud with the Japanese, so why he said this is worth pondering.
"Of course, those ridiculous rules are intolerable, and the relevant departments have ordered them to be rectified immediately."
"The sign at the gate has been taken down, but what do they think in their hearts? They are not my species. His heart must be different, no Japanese people are good."
Shi Qianqian took a big sip of wine, quite generous.
Shi Zhenhua said without changing his expression, "The main purpose of setting up such a school is to provide convenience for foreigners coming to China to work and do business, so as to attract more talents and capital inflows..."
"Is it possible that what is attracted is not talent, but garbage?"
Looking at Shi Qianqian who kept making excuses, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Uncle Shi, I understand what you mean."
He picked up his wine glass,
Actually, Xin'an School is just one of them, with similar ones across the country. There are many schools for foreigners.
The reason why these schools can be established and opened, as Shi Zhenhua said, contains many deep meanings, and at the same time, the scope of involvement is also quite wide.
It is unrealistic to uproot everything at once.
He is just a businessman, not a politician. He should not be meddling in this matter.
“I have only one request, cancel the privileges and open it to the outside world. Education is not something that should be secretive.”
Jiang Chen took a sip of wine, paused for a moment, and continued: “At the same time Allowing local students to enroll will be more conducive to mutual communication.”
Shi Zhenhua understood that these words were not meant for him.
"No problem."
Shi Zhenhua said decisively, "What you said is what it should be."
"I also have a favor to ask Uncle Shi."< br>
Shi Zhenhua was not expecting it, and then nodded, "You say."
"I have a friend's child who is currently in junior high school. He is currently being sent to me because he refuses to obey the discipline of his family. However, his studies cannot be delayed. If possible, I would like to send him to Xin'an school for a while."
“Pfft.”
I don’t know if she is drunk, but Shi Qianqian’s drinking capacity should not be the same as her battle-tested experience. Who has not heard of those young men who have been in major nightclubs in the East China Sea? Sister Sissi’s name.
She stared at Jiang Chen with a dimple-like face, her eyes moving, "I don't want to let the child catch the wolf, it's yours."
Shi Zhenhua also expected that the other party was so "serious".
"Xiao Jiang, after all, that school used to be a fully closed school. Can the children adapt?"
It's not just a fully closed school.
Even if it is rectified, at least it should still be full of Japanese children.
“His adaptability is quite strong.”
Jiang Chen is good at making opinions, and he doesn’t know if that kid Wu Sheng was here, he would jump and curse.
That's right.
According to Jiang Chen’s description, there is no one else but Wu Sheng who meets the conditions.
"You are exterminating relatives for justice. Will your friend agree?" Shi Qianxi asked.
"Miss Lan probably won't have any objections."
When the words fell, both father and daughter were startled.
Shi Zhenhua’s lips moved, but before he could speak, he heard a shocked voice in his ears.
"Are you talking about Lan Peizhi's child? Junior high school?!"
Jiang Chen looked over and found that the aunt's eyes were wide.
Wait a moment.
There seems to be a misunderstanding.
"I'm talking about her child, her brother."
Jiang Chen immediately added an explanation. If this kind of mistake spreads out, if nothing happens, Lan Peizhi will have to kill him. As for The bodyguard Taoist sister of Tianzihao may be useless by then.
“Scared me.”
Shi Xixi exhaled, her face was as white as the peach blossoms in early spring.
No matter how miraculous the Blood Guanyin is, it is still a mortal body, not something that popped out of a crack in a stone. It is normal to have relatives.
"Send her brother in, and there will be a good show."
"Isn't it true that you can't let go of the child now?"
Shi Zhenhua teased.
"Now it is the red boy who is making a big fuss in Shituoling."
Shi Qianqian replied flippantly. You can imagine what kind of character the children in Lampe House have. She picked up the chopsticks. Pick up vegetables.
Men from both eras laughed.
"Uncle Shi, I'm leaving first."
It was definitely impossible to expect Miss Shi to deliver. She drank a few drinks and went directly upstairs to sleep.
“Pay attention to safety on the road.”
Jiang Chen walked out of the Shi family manor and got in the car. It wasn’t until he drove for a while that he realized something was wrong.
It’s not that I’m a good drinker and I don’t feel much when I’m having a good drink, but how can I drive drunk?
But drunk driving doesn’t matter how far you drive, you don’t even need to start the ignition, as long as you sit in the driver’s seat after drinking.
That is to say.
Even if you stop the car in time, the fact of drunk driving cannot be erased.
Jiang Chen is a person with strict self-requirements. A gentleman is cautious and independent. It is not illegal until he is caught by the traffic police.
Therefore, in this case, the facts have been established and irreversible. After considering his sobriety, Jiang Chen did not step on the brakes.
If you are caught, you deserve it.
The street lights complement the neon lights of the city.
Jiang Chen was driving at a slow speed in busy traffic.
I have to admit that he was really lucky. He was safe and sound along the way despite such a long distance.
But good luck always runs out.
There was no drunk driving investigation, but when Jiang Chen was about to arrive at the gate of Spring and Autumn Washington, Jiang Chen turned into the auxiliary road and a figure suddenly appeared in front of the car without warning.
Jiang Chen did not drink too much. After driving back from the Shijia Manor, the alcohol in his body became more sober after metabolization and decomposition. He reacted in a timely manner and stepped on the brakes immediately. In addition, he had to take auxiliary medicine. The speed of the car was not fast, and the car stopped quickly. Unfortunately, the front of the car still slightly rubbed the other person.
“Ouch.”
In the dazzling car lights, the other party fell to the ground. (End of chapter)
