Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

"Everyone has misunderstood!

I was studying in the United States, but the war hadn’t broken out yet!

And I went there just to study, and then come back to help build the country! I never boast about it!

I just told Boss Chen that I like her and want to marry her, not to brag!"

This statement gradually calmed the situation. In fact, there are indeed some examples of overseas students who have returned after completing their studies, overcome numerous difficulties, and serve the country wholeheartedly. Therefore, this explanation is reasonable.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Hou Jun couldn't wait to express his feelings to Chen Xueru.

After all, he didn't learn anything substantial in **, he just developed a thick ** face [Too much sensitive content, can't continue to output]

Lu Weimin kept staring at Hou Jun's performance with a playful smile on his face, thinking: This guy who was influenced by American culture is indeed self-righteous and shameless.

Chen Xueru was very annoyed by Hou Jun's constant pestering and said in a cold tone:

"Mr. Hou, have you been in a foreign country for so long that you don't even understand what people say? I've told you many times that I don't like your type."

Hou Jun retorted disapprovingly:

"I don't believe it! Can you find someone better than me in this city? You don't like me? Then what kind of person do you like?"

This is simply inexplicable self-confidence! Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him, pulled Lu Weimin's sleeve and said, "I like boys like Brother Weimin!"

Wow!

There was an uproar in the store, and everyone showed surprised expressions. Hou Jun's face turned pale, and he felt that he had been greatly insulted. He said emotionally:

"I don't believe it! I am the young master of the Hou family, and I have studied abroad. How can he compare with me?"

Chen Xueru replied with a smile:

"But he is much more handsome than you! Don't you think so? Come and judge for yourself!"

"Need I say more? Anyone with eyes can see that this guy is much more handsome than you!" I don't know which guest said this. The whole audience burst into laughter.

Hou Jun’s face turned pale!

With so many people watching, he really couldn't bear this kind of humiliation. Not only for himself, but also for the Hou family's reputation. Hou Jun still said firmly:

"What's the point of just being pretty? I'm the eldest son of the Hou family. If you marry me, you won't have to worry about food and clothing."

Chen Xueru stared at Hou Jun with contempt:

"I am the eldest sister of the Chen family. How could I lack food and clothing? Do I care about these material things? Besides, your confidence comes from the support of your family! Brother Weimin relies entirely on his own abilities, and his monthly income has exceeded 100 yuan!"

The uproar sounded again, and everyone was discussing whether what Chen Xueru said was true.

Hou Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud:

"Impossible, you are lying! This boy looks only 10** years old, how could he earn over 100 yuan a month!"

This is exactly the question in everyone's mind. After all, Lu Weimin does look very young, and it is a little unbelievable that a young man can earn over 100 yuan a month.

Chen Xueru said confidently:

"I'm telling the truth! This is not only what I said, but also what Mr. Lou, the chairman of Lou's Steel Company, told me personally when he ordered silk from me! Since I can say it publicly, it means I'm not afraid of Mr. Lou's ears, because this is the truth. I can responsibly guarantee the reputation of Chen's Silk Shop!"

Just as Chen Xueru finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a blue work suit with the word "Lou" on his forehead came out and said solemnly:

"I am Jiang Aiguo, a worker at Lou's Steel Company. I am willing to testify to what Boss Chen said. Consultant Lu's salary is over 100 yuan, and he is highly valued by our boss, who specially hired him as a senior technical consultant from another factory."

The engine of the imported truck in our factory broke down. After the repair, the factory saved several thousand RMB and a large amount of foreign exchange. Director Lou also rewarded Consultant Lu with 500 RMB. Consultant Lu is a role model for our entire factory!

Chen Xueru looked at Jiang Aiguo in surprise and decided to provide him with free service. The scene became lively again.

With the unanimous confirmation of Chen Xueru and Jiang Aiguo, everyone believed the fact that Lu Weimin earned over 100 yuan a month and expressed envy and admiration for him.

Indeed, in that era, ordinary people felt honored to contribute to the country. And Lu Weimin saved a large amount of foreign exchange for the country this time.

Hou Jun was also stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, "A monthly income of over 100 yuan is nothing! I'm an international student!"

Chen Xueru hasn't spoken yet.

Facing Hou Jun's performance, Lu Weimin couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but say, "Comrade Hou Jun, you said you are a graduate of ** University?"

"That's right! You should be very envious, right?" Hou Jun said arrogantly.

Lu Weimin continued to ask: "Which university did you graduate from?"

"Why do you ask this question?" Hou ** looked at him warily.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Weimin felt relieved and laughed, "Why don't you even dare to tell me which university you are attending in **? What are you afraid of?"

Hou Jun hurriedly defended himself: "What nonsense are you talking about? What am I afraid of? What do you want to express?"

Lu Weimin said calmly, "Don't worry! Listen to me. I've heard that some universities in ** are called 'fake universities'. These schools are also called '** factories' or 'fake universities'. They often use names similar to famous schools to confuse people, and use various means to exploit legal loopholes to issue fake diplomas. The degrees of these schools are both from fake schools and fake **."

He also explained: "These so-called fake universities have one thing in common: as long as you spend money, it doesn't matter if the students you recruit don't know anything, as long as you pay the tuition. However, the degrees awarded by these fake universities are not recognized by the government or even the world, and can only fool people who don't know the inside story..."

After hearing Lu Weimin's words, everyone began to look at Hou Jun with questioning eyes.

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Weimin with admiration, then turned around and said loudly to Hou Jun:

"Hou University international student, why don't you tell us the name of your school so that everyone can see if it is a real school!" After hearing this, Hou Jun's expression became a little embarrassed.

Lu Weimin continued:

"Also, we have never seen your graduation certificate from ** University. We would like to see it. Can you show us your graduation certificate, Hou University international student?"

How is this possible? If I were asked to show my diploma, how would I lie? Hou Jun showed a panicked look on his face, and said with a forced calmness:

"Mr. Lu, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know what a fake university is."

The university I attend is a well-known university in **.

Those who pass the exam based on their real abilities will be recognized internationally.

That's enough! I won't talk to you any more. I have something else to do. I have to go and negotiate a big deal that can make thousands of dollars. My time is precious. I don't have time to chat with you. I'm leaving first..."

After saying that, Hou Jun hurried to the door.

When everyone saw this, they understood what was going on.

Obviously, Hou Jun went to the fake university that Lu Weimin mentioned. A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the store.

Hou Jun glared at Lu Weimin awkwardly and left in a hurry. Chen Xueru stared at Lu Weimin with bright eyes.

Lu Weimin said:

"Okay! That annoying guy is finally gone! Boss Chen, please get me some clothes!" Chen Xueru said coquettishly:

"You're still calling me Boss Chen! Didn't you agree to call me Xueru?"

Lu Weimin said calmly:

"Boss Chen, are you still acting now?

Didn't you just use me to drive him away? Now that he's gone, there's no need to pretend anymore!"

After hearing this, Chen Xueru showed an aggrieved expression and said, "Brother Weimin, who said I was taking advantage of you! I said it from the heart.

If you don't believe me, we can officially date now and announce it to the public. This concerns a woman's important reputation, so it can't be fake, right?"

If you marry me, this store will become ours!

After saying this, Chen Xueru appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was pounding: How would Brother Wei Min respond?

If he really wants to date me, should I agree right away? Or should I wait until tomorrow? After all, she is a girl, so she should be a little reserved.

Lu Weimin looked at Chen Xueru's blushing face in surprise. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him would be so bold and confess to him directly.

But when I think of her personality, the Chen Xueru who dares to love and hate, the beautiful and charming Chen Xueru, and the love-brained Chen Xueru, I feel relieved.

Lu Weimin said calmly: "I'll think about it!"

Chen Xueru lost her temper when she heard this and said coquettishly, "Brother Weimin, why are you still hesitating about dating me? Don't you think I'm not pretty enough?"

Lu Weimin replied seriously: "Do you think I am a person who only cares about appearance like Hou Jun?" Chen Xueru did not expect to meet the first man who was indifferent to her appearance: "..."

At this time, Master Zhang came over, and Chen Xueru swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Master Zhang handed over a drawing: "Boss Chen, the design is ready, please take a look."

"Wait! It will be done soon!" Chen Xueru whispered to Lu Weimin, then took the drawing and looked at it carefully.

Master Zhang looked at Chen Xueru and Lu Weimin in surprise. This was the first time he saw Chen Xueru being so gentle towards a man. Could it be that Boss Chen really fell in love with this handsome guy?

Lu Weimin leaned over to look at the drawings in Chen Xueru's hand.

The scene of the newly renovated Xueru Silk Shop in the TV series immediately came to my mind. The decoration scheme there was extremely successful, attracting many customers.

[Design skill +1] [Design skill +1]

Lu Weimin's eyes lit up, he had mastered a new skill. He took a closer look at the design in Chen Xueru's hand and felt that it was only slightly similar to the ideal plan, and it was obviously not yet in the final confirmation stage.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xueru nodded after reading it:

"Not bad! How about this, I'll take it home and show it to everyone. If everyone thinks it's ok, we can do the decoration according to this!"

After Master Zhang left,

Lu Weimin asked, "Xueru, what is that design?" Chen Xueru smiled and said:

"Brother Weimin, I want to renovate my shop. This is the preliminary design. Of course, if you marry me, this will be our shop. You have to give me some advice!"

As for the last joke, Lu Weimin simply ignored it and took the drawing from her hand:

"Xue Ru, I'm quite interested in interior design. I've bought some books to study it, and I have some ideas of my own. How about this, you go get me some clothes first, and I can try to draw a set of my ideas on paper."

Chen Xueru was a little surprised to hear Lu Weimin's words. She didn't expect that he would be willing to give advice and draw design plans for the store just for a casual word. Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Sure!" Then she got up to look for clothes.
