Chapter 588 Firmness
The banquet is a good banquet, and the people are all kind and decent people.
Jiang Hui accompanied the father and son to have a warm dinner. As always, there were no other messy topics at the dinner table. She felt keenly that there seemed to be some subtle changes in this man's attitude towards her.
Of course it's not getting worse, but better. It's still gentle, but a little more intimate.
When Commander-in-Chief Zhou wanted to behave like Corporal Li Xian, he could really do it in a natural way, without any trace of artificiality. The other party is indeed Zhou Xiuwen's father. He comes from the same family, and Zhou Xiuwen still has a lot to learn.
But at the same time, Jiang Hui also saw the elder's true state, which was unabashed, and the other party seemed to have no intention of covering it up in front of her.
He is even thinner than the last time we met. There is obviously no room for losing weight anymore, but every time we meet, it makes people feel that the other person is getting weaker. Now it seems that there is really only one left. Bone feeling.
Although his face was pale and his spirit was weak due to recent exertion, his attitude still seemed quite gentle. Really, if he hadn't seen the fierce and powerful side of the other party, he would have thought that he was a good uncle with a weak body.
He urged the children to eat carefully, and carefully shared with them the delicacies that he thought were good, adding a few homely words here and there, as if he was getting along with his nephews and nephews at home.
Although only the three of them actually had dinner together, there were still people around Zhou Yuanjing. Except for Faria, they were all Zhou Yuanjing's direct confidants, and they all watched Zhou Xiuwen grow up.
They feel...their young master is too young and refuses to pretend to be mature. I haven’t seen you look like this for a long time. Are you so happy?
But they also know that Zhou Xiuwen has indeed been under a lot of pressure in recent years. Pressure from all parties has been piled on his shoulders, and he has gradually discarded some of his own things in order to grow.
Although from the perspective of their subordinates, it is a happy thing that the successor has become mature, reliable and intimidating.
But similarly, they are also people who have watched Zhou Xiuwen grow up, and it is unpleasant for them to see the other person suppressing themselves like this. After all, it is really disgraceful to force a child to grow up like a broken bone to take on some things that adults should do - it makes them feel incompetent.
But it is true that what they need now is what their legion needs most.
There was not much time left to allow the other party to grow at a normal pace, even if they were unwilling to admit it, but with the arrival of the day when Zhou Yuanjing completely weakened, they finally reached this point.
Intentionally, they even began to differ from Zhou Xiuwen as a monarch and a minister. Now that they are high-ranking officials, they stand aside to receive Jiang Hui, a visitor. This is because Jiang Hui is a friend invited by Zhou Xiuwen, and to some extent, he is also a network he has expanded for his future.
It would be the same situation if Huan Xian were here today.
The warm dinner is over, and naturally the next step is gossip.
With previous experience, Jiang Hui didn't show any impatience. She looked at the tea that was served, a little lost.
The father and son above him picked up the tea cup and took a sip in a similar manner that they were unaware of.
However, the younger one was really serious about tasting the fragrance of the tea, while the elder was just a drunkard and didn't care about the wine. He glanced over, and besides his son, who seemed to be a little stupid after eating, he also took in Jiang Hui's calm appearance. This kid actually looks a lot more stable.
He took the handkerchief that Faria handed over in time and twirled his fingertips. What a good seedling.
"I heard from Xiaowen that your level test has not been completed yet." Zhou Yuanjing found a relatively easy topic to talk about, but this was indeed what Jiang Hui was currently more concerned about.
So she naturally picked up the conversation and said with a grimace: "You've heard about it too." It seems like this...
Why do you say that? Because Zhou Yuanjing knew it and described it as unfinished. If she simply postponed the exam or wanted to contribute in another form, the other party would probably have told her directly and would not have asked her back with a known result. Therefore, there is a high probability that news has come out, but the superiors have not yet figured out the results.
It hasn’t been resolved yet... It has been more than 20 days and it seems to be more than a month, and there is still no result from the consultation. Whether to take the test or not to take the test, to retake the test or to make up the test, to count or not to count, there has to be an explanation, right?
No matter what the outcome is, it feels really bad to leave them hanging like this. Jiang Hui would rather the other party get the result right away, even if it's not good, it can be considered a settlement.
“Students just want to finish the exam quickly, but they didn’t expect to encounter so many things.”
After hearing this, Zhou Yuanjing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "So unconfident? With your ability, even if you don't take the A-level exam, you can't live up to your performance these days."
Jiang Hui: "...It was a fluke. That's all. "Oh my god, what is Commander Zhou talking about, praising her for being so powerful?" But how to show her power, because she saved people or killed star beasts? I was actually a little flattered.
It seems not. Jiang Hui herself didn't think it was a big deal. In the end, she had to say: "You are joking."
Unexpectedly, the elder shook his head: "Don't be too modest, I saw your The files and records are really amazing. Five life-threatening rescues in three years, it is absolutely extraordinary to be able to do so much at such a young age.”
Jiang Hui doesn’t think he has anything special. Remarkable. However, it was a bit surprising to hear the other party say that she had saved five people in three years. It turned out that she had already had so many interactions with this new world. Jiang Hui was actually relieved to be able to save so many lives in this strange world.
This friend, the young master, is really mature and not like an impulsive young man at all. Are all kids today so awesome?
Seeing Jiang Hui's humble and generous response, the elder was quite emotional: "I see that you have grown a lot and are more determined than before. It seems that you were trapped a few years ago. My question has been answered.”
Jiang Hui nodded silently. But this time she didn't say yes or no, because the answer was already in their hearts and there was no need to say it out. I think this elder already has the answer.
Determined and steady, extremely talented, not fond of making mistakes, clear-minded, except for the lack of experience and a little courage, the other party can be said to be the type of person he likes and admires. What a pity...
"Please take care of my unsatisfactory son these years. Although he sometimes likes to make mistakes, he is indeed a good boy." Zhou Yuanjing sighed with a smile, completely ignoring his own son Wen He looks like a wooden chicken.
Zhou Xiuwen:? ?
