Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 356 Chapter 355, A room full of thoughts
As his son's boss, Lin Chu was warmly received by Lu Ming's parents when he first walked in.

Old Lu even used honorifics, and Lin Chu refused again and again before changing his address to "Xiao Lin."

It can be seen that the Lu family’s arrangement is quite... Jianghu style.

The decoration style is Chinese mahogany, the style that the previous generation liked. The sofas all have hardwood seats with dragons carved on them, making it look like a palace.

The most eye-catching place in the living room is a huge statue of Guan Gong, with incense burning on it.

Lu Ming's father, Lu Jiasheng, has long limbs and a big belly. He is wearing casual home clothes, but a tattoo can be seen from his sleeves.

"Tolerate".

It has that old-fashioned style.

Sitting on the sofa were another family of three. The man was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking somewhat gentlemanly. The woman was wearing a cheongsam, looking elegant and graceful. Next to her was their daughter, the "female star" Wen Sui, who looked quite well-behaved and very ladylike.

To be fair...

Lu Ming's blind date was going on, and his father insisted on calling him over at this time. This was obviously not a coincidence, but a premeditated act.

As for the motive, Lin Chu couldn't guess it for a moment.

But since we were already here, we might as well make the best of it. Shi Ran sat down and chatted casually.

Lu Jiasheng made tea and introduced the two people separately.

First introduce Lin Chu to old friends.

"This is my son's boss, Lin Chu. Mr. Lin, this is the first time we meet. This year, two young people started a business together, and it's mainly Mr. Lin who helped my useless son build a career. Mr. Lin is back in China now, and it's also a festive occasion, so I'd like to invite him to my home for a meal."

"It just so happens that Ming is this old now. As the boss, you are also the big brother. Please keep an eye on him."

"As a man, you need to start a family and build a career. Once you have a family, it will be easier for you to build a career."

Lin Chu smiled and nodded.

Lu Ming seemed a little restrained. He didn't expect his father to say such formal words. He was speechless and could only respond with a dry laugh.

"This is my old friend, Mr. Wen Qiusheng, a well-known businessman, from southern Fujian, doing business in the trade... his wife and daughter."

"It's a festival, it's more lively when there are more people, but I have gout and can't drink. Tonight is your home night, I'll take the initiative to prepare the dishes and serve my old friends, the female guests, the guests, and my son..."

Lu Jiasheng said this with a smile, which was a bit funny, but the old man had a calm aura and seemed approachable.

"As for alcohol, I've also quit... I've quit smoking and drinking. Tonight is Ming's home game, so I'll help you, uncle."

When Lin Chu heard this, he immediately stood up, smiled and supported his arm, preparing to walk towards the kitchen together.

If you don’t want to drink, you don’t want to drink.

I didn't drink alcohol when I had dinner with my dad and future father-in-law, so now, it's even more impossible.

Even the king of heaven wouldn't drink.

"Dad, Brother Chu is trying to get pregnant now. He should quit smoking and drinking. Don't try to persuade him. It's useless. We made a bet. If he drinks a glass of wine or smokes a cigarette, he will call me dad a hundred times."

Lu Ming said with a smile, although he was trying to smooth things over for Lin Chu, it was somewhat frivolous.

Several people couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Jiasheng glanced at his son and felt that this silly son was still useless and not presentable. However, with so many people watching, he didn't say much and smiled as he stepped down: "Okay, okay, then take a seat. This is the first time I come to your house, how can I let my leader go to the kitchen?"

He was quite strong and persuaded Lin Chu to return to his seat.

Lin Chu probably understood something from this posture, so he sat down again and looked at them calmly.

"A Ming is my subordinate and also my brother. I am very happy that he is going on a blind date. Although it is not my turn to speak here, since Uncle Lu has given me this face, I will say a few more words."

"Since it's a blind date, it's not just a casual date, nor is it a simple love affair. It's for the purpose of marriage. Marry a virtuous wife. Ming's temper is still a little frivolous, so he needs a virtuous wife to take good care of him."

Lin Chu spoke in a very high-handed manner, acting like a real "leader".

Having been pushed into this position, I naturally have to say something that fits my status.

Hearing this, Lu Ming was slightly stunned. He licked his lips and looked at Lin Chu in confusion. He felt that Brother Chu was being too formal at the moment, even a little awkward.

However, after thinking about it, I did figure out some ideas.

He chose to remain silent and wait and see what would happen.

In the kitchen, when Old Lu heard this, he looked at his wife and raised his eyebrows, with an expression of "being able to get things done" in his eyes.

What you said really sounds like the truth.

His wife responded with a glare.

The two were in the kitchen, both pricked up their ears, listening to the conversation outside.

"It's not that serious. We just want to have a meal first. My parents haven't been back to China for a long time. This time they came back to meet old friends. As for arranging a blind date for me, that was just something they mentioned casually..."

"Can we not talk about this today?"

"Brother Ming and I, let's have a private chat. You are the elders and leaders, so please stop putting too much pressure on me... Okay? Dad? Mr. Lin?"

Wen Sui said this with a smile on her face, looking quite cute and innocent, but it was quite decent.

What Mr. Lin said just now was a bit too "condescending", as if he was asking for a blind date with Lu Ming and asking the woman to prove that she was "virtuous". It was a bit too much, and my dad didn't know how to respond.

After hearing what his daughter said, Wen Qiusheng smiled and walked down the stairs. He looked at Lin Chu and said, "Haha, today we are mainly here to have dinner. Let the young people discuss their own affairs. As elders, we should respect them anyway. Mr. Lin...what do you think?"

Lin Chu smiled, patted Lu Ming's shoulder, and nodded gently: "Not bad, girl. What are you studying?"

Lu Ming:......

Brother, you are going too far.

No.

Are you really taking on the role of my father now?

He complained in his heart, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, it was quite interesting to watch Lin Chu and others perform in various ways.

Lu Ming is now a little confused about the intentions of the family opposite.

At first, when his father suggested inviting Brother Chu over for dinner, Lu Ming didn't think much about it. But now, he felt that his father was using Lin Chu as a touchstone.

First, he wanted to see what kind of person Lin Chu was and whether he was worthy of his son following him.

Secondly, let Lin Chu take a look at the opposite side.

Tsk.

Dear dad!

Real dad!
Everyone in the room is cunning.

Just sitting here and having fun!

"I studied dance and now I'm an actor. I've just played three roles."

Wen Sui responded gracefully, her eyes sparkling and bright.

Lin Chu nodded, picked up the teacup, but did not speak, and chose to remain silent.

Whatever you want to talk about, just tell me.

Don't tell me and I won't ask.

If this is just a blind date, then I would have a lot of free time.

For a while.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent, and an invisible pressure was spreading.

Lu Ming glanced at Lin Chu, then looked across at the opposite side, feeling a little unnatural.

But Brother Chu didn’t say anything, so he simply kept silent, just thinking that I was a “mama’s boy”!

Oh shit!

This is a high-end game!

When it comes to picking up girls, I'm good at it, but the current situation is really complicated for me. I have to consider the relationship and face of my father and old friend, the girl's face, and Brother Chu's thoughts... Damn, this question is too difficult!

On the contrary, it is Brother Chu who has to say the unpleasant words.

Dad is not suitable!
"Mr. Lin is now living in Dubai?"

"I've heard something before. Your security company cooperated with the local police to provide protection for local small businesses... It was a great job. People who knew about it and I talked to them all praised it."

The silence was soon broken by Wen Qiu Sheng, who vaguely changed the topic.

Lin Chu nodded casually: "You are from southern Fujian. The Minnan Chamber of Commerce in Dubai has a great influence. I just had dinner with several presidents and vice presidents there two days ago. They all went to Dubai decades ago. They started from scratch and worked hard to achieve their current status and wealth. I personally admire the Minnan spirit. Only by working hard can you win..."

Wen Qiu Sheng said a few humble words implicitly, and at that moment he completely understood what Lin Chu meant.

Friends are here and there is good wine.

But if you want to do something messy, you should think carefully about it.

To be fair, this attitude is pretty good, and it is the same as mine.

After all, when rich people make friends, they have to first find out the other person's background and whereabouts, motives and what they want to plan, and then decide on their attitude.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed not easy to do business overseas. It is the same for me... I started from a small workshop across the sea thirty years ago and have now grown it into a factory with several thousand employees. It has been a tough journey and I have been walking on thin ice."

Wen Qiu Sheng agreed with a smile, and his attitude suddenly relaxed a lot.

He realized that Lu Ming was just an above-average talent, and it was mainly because he was lucky and followed the right benefactor.

The man in front of him, Lu Ming's benefactor, Lin Chu, is definitely a powerful figure. He looks to be less than 30 years old, but he is extremely capable.

The temperament, speech and behavior of the person are all noble.

It is even more reassuring and reliable than what you find from public information.

"What specific business does Mr. Wen do?"

At this moment, hearing the three words "across the sea", Lin Chu's heart moved slightly, and he took the initiative to follow his words and continue the conversation.

Wen Qiusheng's eyes moved slightly, he licked his lips, and smiled nonchalantly: "It's mainly OEM, making some sensors, small chips and so on... But now the factory is going to close down. Alas, I'm old enough, and it's time to retire..."

"Ha, that's good. It's hard to run a business. You should quit when you need to. You can take a step back and see the world in the midst of a storm."

"I basically let Ming handle the business in Dubai. I will ask about the big things, but I don't ask about the small things."

"Of course, making money is a small matter, but marriage is a big matter in life, as well as health."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to go see if the meal is ready. I'm hungry."

Lin Chu patted his knees, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Wen Qiu Sheng looked at his back, his eyes thoughtful.

Lu Ming:?
I always feel that the two of them talked about something, but when I really think about it, I can't really figure it out.

However, he heard Lin Chu's last sentence clearly, very clearly.

That is - if you want to make money, get some orders, or want other cooperation, and make some money, that's fine, it's not a big deal, but don't use blind dates as a cover, that's meaningless.

These words are both generous and sharp, without being offensive.
