Chapter 359: Sister-in-law’s Assist
“When looking for a dragon, be sure to look at the mountains that surround it. Each layer of mountains is a barrier. If the gate has a thousand locks, there must be a king or a noble living there.”
At 6:30 in the evening, Chen Jianghe stood at the main entrance of CUHK, looking at the majestic gate, pinched his fingers, silently recited the formula of "Han Long Jing" that he had read some time ago, and took a look at the Feng Shui layout of CUHK.
"Damn it, if I could just light a cigarette I wouldn't be so bored."
Chen Jianghe complained in his heart that waiting for a girl was a very torturous thing. After all, not every girl would come downstairs early to wait for him like Yishu did after hanging up the phone.
Most girls will dawdle for a while before going out, just like boys will deliberately dawdle sometimes to see if you are in a hurry.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Chen Jianghe thought he would have to wait a long time, but just as he finished reciting the formula, he looked up and saw a beautiful young girl running towards him. Her voice came before her. She was carrying a beige backpack with thin straps, and she was laughing and lively and cute: "Your technique is very professional, just like Uncle Nine in zombie movies."
“Good eyesight.”
Chen Jianghe smiled and praised, then turned around and opened the passenger door: "Get in the car."
Xu Zhijun bent over and sat inside, leaning in close to the air-conditioning outlet to enjoy the cool breeze. She raised her white and tender hands and waved them on both sides of her face like a small fan: "East Guangdong is really great. It's already September, but it's still like midsummer in my hometown."
Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "You've only been here for a few days, and you've already learned the essence of Cantonese?"
"I've only learned a little bit." Xu Zhijun raised her index finger and gestured playfully.
"Learn more, so that you won't be cheated by those handsome guys in Guangdong in the future," Chen Jianghe encouraged.
"Yeah." Xu Zhijun smiled and nodded. When Chen Jianghe started the car and prepared to turn around, she pursed her lips and said tentatively: "Brother-in-law, you and our Zhongda campus beauty..."
"Is this month's pocket money not enough?" Chen Jianghe steered the wheel with one hand and took out his wallet with the other hand, his expression calm and composed.
Xu Zhijun waved her hand: "No, my sister just called me a few days ago and told me not to take your money."
With a light click , Chen Jianghe opened his wallet and casually picked up a small stack of brand new bills and handed it over.
Xu Zhijun hesitated and said, "This is not good."
Chen Jianghe gave another stack.
"My sister will scold me if she finds out." Xu Zhijun's eyes flickered and she looked a little embarrassed.
Chen Jianghe didn't say anything and emptied his wallet and gave it all to her.
"I don't know anything. My brother-in-law has nothing to do with the campus beauty of Zhongda University. I will never tell anyone when I get home."
Xu Zhijun quietly reached out to take the money and said with her eyes closed.
Chen Jianghe looked at her and thought to himself, you are truly a gentleman who loves money but gets it in a proper way.
After driving away from CUHK and returning to the gate of Guangdong University of Finance, Chen Jianghe took some money from the storage box, went downstairs to buy a bouquet of roses, and went to the boutique next door to buy a teddy bear for Xu Zhijun.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
When Xu Zhijun reached out to catch the teddy bear, her eyes sparkled.
"As long as you like it." Chen Jianghe responded calmly, took Rose and drove into the school gate, heading towards the faculty and staff dormitory building.
"Brother-in-law, I noticed there are so many pretty girls in your school."
When getting off the car, Xu Zhijun couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with Sun Yat-sen University, the girls at Guangdong University of Finance and Economics are obviously more fashionable and bold in dressing. Most of them have fair skin and smell good. There are very few girls like Xu Zhijun who wear a white short-sleeved shirt, blue trousers and a backpack. They look so immature and look like middle school students.
"There weren't many to begin with, mainly because I didn't perform well in the college entrance examination. After entering university, I had to spend more time thinking about my appearance. Unlike some girls in your university, whose looks are always overshadowed by their talents." Chen Jianghe said.
Xu Zhijun turned her head to look at her brother-in-law and thought to herself, no wonder her sister likes you so much, you are very generous and speak nicely, always making people feel comfortable inadvertently.
"Let's go upstairs."
Chen Jianghe walked towards the stairs, and Xu Zhijun followed behind him holding the bear. Every time they passed half a floor, they could hear their brother-in-law stomping his feet and the voice-controlled lights would light up with a whoosh. He was very familiar with the place.
“Boom boom boom.”
Chen Jianghe was responsible for leading the way, and Xu Zhijun was responsible for knocking on the door.
Tao Xinran, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV and eating grapes, stood up when she heard the knock on the door. She walked over quickly in her flip-flops and opened the door to see Xu Zhijun and Chen Jianghe. She was surprised and delighted. She turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "Zhixi, your boyfriend and sister are here."
Xu Zhixi came out, Chen Jianghe took two steps forward, handed her the rose in his hand, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xu, happy Teacher's Day."
Although it is not September 10th yet, Chen Jianghe's reason for sending flowers is very appropriate.
Xu Zhixi was slightly stunned, but saw her sister handing the teddy bear in her arms to Tao Xinran: "Teacher Tao, happy Teacher's Day."
"Thank you, thank you."
Tao Xinran took it with a smile on her face.
In this way, Xu Zhixi also accepted the flowers from Chen Jianghe very politely.
"Haven't you had dinner yet?" Xu Zhixi asked softly.
"I have eaten. My brother-in-law treated me to Shunde cuisine before I came here. It was delicious."
Xu Zhijun answered with a smile, then changed her shoes at the door and went into the house.
Chen Jianghe silently took note of the Shunde dishes and planned to make up for them another day.
The TV in the living room was playing "The Creation of the Century", a TV series that was very popular a few years ago.
After Xu Zhijun entered the house, she obediently followed her sister into the kitchen to help.
Chen Jianghe and Teacher Tao were sitting in the living room watching TV.
"Student Chen Jianghe, have you watched this drama before?" Tao Xinran asked with a smile.
Chen Jianghe picked up a grape and put it in his mouth: "This drama is super classic. It's a big loss if you haven't watched it."
"The Creation of a Dynasty" is a business war drama launched by TVB. It mainly tells the entrepreneurial process of Ye Rongtin and Xu Wenbiao from scratch. The production level of the whole drama can be regarded as the pinnacle masterpiece of Hong Kong dramas on business war themes.
The play opens with a very forward-looking classic investment dialogue, the content of which is thought-provoking. Many years later, many netizens joked in their drama reviews that those who watched the play and invested according to the knowledge points in it basically became rich and even financially free.
Tao Xinran looked at Chen Jianghe and said admiringly, "I feel like you look a bit like Ye Rongtin in the drama."
"Teacher Tao, are you praising me for my good looks or saying that I'm greedy?" Chen Jianghe asked with a smile.
Ye Rongtin is the male protagonist in the drama played by Luo Jialiang. He is a handsome, smart and charismatic man.
He has a life motto: Greed is the driving force for progress.
"You are handsome and greedy."
Tao Xinran responded meaningfully, pushed up his glasses and continued, "But at your level, many things seem reasonable."
Chen Jianghe looked relaxed: "Teacher Tao, you must have fought too many lawsuits and dealt with too many cases, so you are no longer surprised by many things, right?"
"yes."
Tao Xinran sighed: "The deeper I study law, the less fun my life becomes. Fortunately, I didn't study criminal law, otherwise I might have become depressed."
"I'm so tired. Classmate Chen Jianghe, please help me peel the grapes." Tao Xinran said and lay down.
Chen Jianghe glanced at her bulging belly and said, "I think you are not tired, but you ate too much at dinner."
"It's all because your girlfriend's cooking is so delicious." Tao Xinran retorted with a smile.
Chen Jianghe thought to himself, I 've been busy all day and I haven't had a sip of soup yet. You're so full that you're lying on the sofa and you want me to help you peel grapes. It's like your butt is growing on your face and it's really big.
At this time, Xu Zhijun came out of the kitchen, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said to Chen Jianghe: "It's a bit stuffy staying in the room, let's go downstairs for a walk together."
"You guys go ahead, I'll finish watching this episode of TV."
Tao Xinran was a bit lazy and lay there not wanting to move.
Xu Zhijun turned around and took her sister Xu Zhixi's hand, winked at Chen Jianghe, and after a simple eye contact, they went out and went downstairs in tacit understanding.
Guangdong University of Finance is particularly lively at night. As new students have just enrolled, various clubs on campus are trying various ways to recruit new students. Clubs with a strong entertainment nature, such as the street dance club, roller skating club, vocal music club, etc., are particularly active at night, and veterans of these clubs can be seen showing off their talents in many venues.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
A group of members of the roller skating club formed a train and walked in the same direction as Chen Jianghe and his three companions.
The head of the company had worked part-time at the Light Chaser before. When he saw Chen Jianghe, he smiled and said hello: "Good evening, Mr. Chen!"
"Good evening, Mr. Chen!"
A group of people behind followed suit and shouted, it felt like they were at a South American leisure center, with men on the left and women on the right, and dozens of highly qualified technicians welcoming guests in unison.
"Brother-in-law, you are so popular." Xu Zhijun giggled.
"It's all just empty reputation." Chen Jianghe smiled and shook his head. He deliberately avoided the back door of the academy and took the two sisters to the main entrance.
Outside the main entrance of Guangdong University of Finance is also a very busy commercial street. At night, the night snack stalls and mobile food carts on the street are all doing a booming business. Spicy crayfish, Chongqing grilled fish, lamb skewers, Zhanjiang oysters, etc. are all available. Paired with ice-cold beer, the aroma wafts hundreds of meters away, and you can't help swallowing your saliva even from a long distance away.
"Teacher Xu, do you have money?" Chen Jianghe turned and asked Xu Zhixi.
"I have it." Xu Zhixi took out her wallet.
Chen Jianghe took it and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll treat you to some sugar water."
Xu Zhixi was stunned.
"Squad leader, I want some sugar water too."
A deep voice came from not far away.
Chen Jianghe looked up and saw that it was his classmate Cheng Jinshan. The boy was queuing in front of the Zhanjiang oyster stall a few meters away.
As soon as Cheng Jinshan finished speaking, the students next to him echoed: "We want it too, we want it too."
"The sugar water is so greasy, I'll just drink it for you."
Chen Jianghe smiled and said generously, "I'll treat you to the oysters tonight. Eat as much as you can. If you can't finish them, you can pack them up and go back to dormitory 414 to ask Liu Dongliang for reimbursement."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Jinshan and others immediately roared and praised the squad leader for being generous.
Xu Zhijun tugged at her sister's clothes: "Sister, has my brother-in-law always been so good at dealing with people?"
"Yes."
Xu Zhixi nodded silently, thinking that this bastard has always been good at winning people's hearts, and the key is that she doesn't suffer any loss.
What’s even more infuriating is that I was fooled three times by the same trick without realizing it.
The sugar water bought with Teacher Xu's money seemed to taste sweeter than usual. Chen Jianghe finished a large bowl in just a few sips.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and Xu Zhijun does not plan to go back to CUHK tonight. After drinking the sweet soup, Chen Jianghe takes her to eat crayfish.
Girls from Jiangxi can really eat spicy food. Chen Jianghe's lips turned red after eating a few, and he kept drinking draft beer to relieve the spiciness. But the two sisters seemed fine and enjoyed the meal very much.
"Sister, can I have a drink too?" Xu Zhijun asked her sister in a low voice.
"Have a drink." Xu Zhixi nodded gently.
Xu Zhijun happily picked up the glass, took a small half glass of beer, and clinked glasses with her sister and Chen Jianghe respectively: "This is the first time I have drunk alcohol since I was a child. I want to say a toast."
Chen Jianghe and Xu Zhixi both looked up at her.
"I wish my sister and brother-in-law to be together forever, grow old together, and love each other for the rest of their lives." Xu Zhijun said with a smile.
"Wow." Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, this is the level of the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Wuyuan County. This is too good.
Xu Zhixi blushed and said softly, "I asked you to drink, not to talk nonsense."
"Okay." Xu Zhijun smiled playfully, raised her cup and drank it all, her face immediately flushed: "I'll drink it, you guys can do whatever you want."
