Self-cultivation of spare tire

Chen Zhu never thought that he would meet Ye Xi's father in such a way and on such an occasion.

During the time he spent with Ye Xi, he could feel the prosperity of Ye Xi's family, but Chen Zhu still did not expect that Ye Xi's father was the owner of a five-star hotel chain in the United States.

Ye Fulai looked up and down the decoration of the restaurant, although he didn't say much, but Chen Zhu couldn't understand the traces of disdain in his eyes.

Of course he understood that this small restaurant on the verge of bankruptcy would not be able to catch the eyes of rich people like Ye Fulai.

However, the other party was Ye Xi's father after all, Chen Zhu thought of Ye Xi's cheerful and innocent temperament, and estimated that his father would not be a bad person.

Chen Zhu asked the manager for leave for a while, and he took advantage of the lunch break to sit opposite Ye Fulai.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he met his parents, Chen Zhu couldn't help but sit up straighter, "Hello, I'm Ye Xi's boyfriend, my name is Chen Zhu."

Ye Fulai obviously did not expect Chen Zhu to admit his relationship with Ye Xi so frankly.

He established his career and family in the United States. Although his thoughts have been influenced by foreign cultures for many years, he still has a bit of old-fashioned and conservative in his bones.

"That's it." Ye Fulai knew about his son's sexual orientation early in the morning, and he couldn't accept it at first, but Ye Xi had been away from home for a long time, and he had nothing to do with that kid, and he slowly accepted this reality during this time.

"I know everything about you and my son." Ye Fulai turned the cup around and was about to take a sip of water, but he saw a slight crack on the cup and put it down slowly.

Chen Zhu noticed Ye Fulai's movements, and stood up calmly, "I'll change a cup for you."

Ye Fulai didn't make a sound, quietly watched Chen Zhu get up calmly, and re-entered the back kitchen.

It's also strange, usually when a young man like Chen Zhu meets a well-known rich man in the United States, even if he can handle it on the surface, it is difficult to be completely calm.

But the young man in front of him had an extraordinary composure and indifference.

Ye Fulai smiled from the bottom of his heart, as expected he was the person his son liked. Although he was a little poorer, he might be a blue chip stock.

After a while, Chen Zhu brought a new glass of water.

Ye Fulai took a sip, squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Zhu.

The young man in front of him was tall and tall, he was very handsome, and he looked clean, so it was no wonder that brat Ye Xi made such a fuss for him.

With a ding, the water glass was gently placed on the table, Ye Fulai leaned back slightly, and looked down at Chen Zhu: "Can you introduce yourself?"

Ye Fu spoke English, but Chen Zhu didn't understand why they had to talk in English since they were all Chinese.

Chen Zhu paused, and still answered him in Chinese, "My name is Chen Zhu, I am 21 years old, and I have been dating Ye Xi for half a year." He saw Ye Fulai frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, and continued to explain The two met in Australia.

"No." Ye Fulai waved his hand, "I don't want to know how you got together. What I want to know is you."

Chen Zhu didn't lower his posture because of the man's arrogant attitude. He habitually sat upright and asked indifferently: "I don't know what you want to know, so why not just tell me."

Ye Fulai: "I heard that you went abroad to work alone, and it has been more than a year now. How is it? What are your plans for the future?"

"I'm preparing to take the college entrance examination." Chen Zhu didn't like this kind of conversation similar to a corporate interview. He simply said his plan, and didn't elaborate on his good grades in the national entrance exam.

Chen Zhu has always kept a low profile. He doesn't like to adorn himself in front of outsiders like a peacock spreading his tail.

Therefore, Chen Zhu did not reveal his IELTS and TOEFL scores which were nearly perfect.

Of course, Chen Zhu's low-key attitude changed in Ye Fulai's eyes.

A poor boy who works in a restaurant, but still has a bit of ambition - Ye Fu thought he had labeled Chen Zhu tactfully.

"I won't ask too much about you and Ye Xi. After all, you young people, your feelings come and go quickly. If we parents interfere every time, it's no different from those feudal old-fashioned .” Ye Fulai was half joking, half serious.

Ye Fulai suppressed his smile: "I will treat the money Ye Xi spent for you as an investment. Young man, if you work hard, if you make some achievements in the future, you will have many opportunities."

For a moment, Chen Zhu froze. He hesitated and asked in confusion, "Ye Xi, what money did you spend on me?"

Chen Zhu thought of those few romances created by Ye Xi, but these were just the daily life between lovers. Chen Zhu accepted Ye Xi's kindness, but also put the same effort behind his back.

Chen Zhu silently paid for the rent, utilities, and even going to the supermarket to purchase.

His little boyfriend likes romance, so he will accompany him to romance, but there are still many realistic factors to consider in life, and Chen Zhu is also burdened with reality.

He never felt that he and Ye Xi had an unequal relationship.

Ye Fulai's words were impartial, and hit Chen Zhu's strong self-esteem.

"Boss Ye, I don't know what Ye Xi did behind the scenes." Chen Zhu pursed his lips and said with a frown, "But the relationship between me and him has never been what you think."

"Oh, that's it." Ye Fulai tapped the table lightly, and looked at Chen Zhu with a half-smile, "You don't know that kid spent money to build a training class for you, do you?"

What... Chen Zhu was even more puzzled. The training class he was in now was the most famous institution in the United States, and Ye Xi, no matter how rich he was, would not be able to open a branch in the suburbs by himself.

Before Chen Zhu could speak, Ye Fulai waved his hand with a smile, "Forget it, I'll just treat this money as a gift to you, and it's not a big money—"

"It's really not a lot of money." A deep voice rang in his ear.

Chen Zhu looked back, and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes.

Perhaps it was because he had just been discharged from the hospital that Xu Lanting's complexion was not very good, but compared to the haggard look in the hospital at that time, the look in the man's eyes has returned to the original.

The weather wasn't hot, but Xu Lanting probably came all the way here, with his crow-black suit slack on his wrists, two collar buttons unbuttoned, and he was laid back and lazy.

When Ye Fulai saw Xu Lanting, he was slightly puzzled at first, and then suddenly remembered the other party's identity.

After all, they are all celebrities and rich people, and they have met several times at the wine bureau more or less.

He got up, shook hands with Xu Lanting with a smile, "President Xu, long time no see, I never thought I could see you in this kind of place."

"This kind of place?" Xu Lanting sneered, and sat lazily beside Chen Zhu.

Of course, the man didn't get too close.Firstly, he didn't dare, and secondly, he didn't want to make Chen Zhu's situation more embarrassing.

Xu Lanting smiled and said, "This is the place where your son comes most often." He picked up the cracked water glass without hesitation.

Even the cheapest white plastic cup seems to suddenly become extravagant in Xu Lanting's hands.

The man drank the water slowly, and said to Chen Zhu, "I have something to talk to Mr. Ye."

Xu Lanting seemed to have issued an order to evict the guest, but in fact, he calmly gave Chen Zhu a step, so that he would not have to face such an embarrassing moment.

Ye Fulai smiled, and said to Chen Zhu in English: "I hope we meet next time, you have already made some achievements with this 3000 million."

The implication is that if he, Chen Zhu, can't stand out, he is not qualified to step into the top rich family.

Chen Zhu clenched his fist, then let it go.He frowned, looked at Ye Fulai, and was about to say something——Xu Lanting suddenly said to the person opposite: "They're all Chinese, so farting foreign farts is boring, isn't it Mr. Ye?"

Ye Fulai's smile stiffened, and Xu Lanting went on to say, "I heard that your son moved 3000 million to build a training institution?" Xu Lanting sneered, "It's only 3000 million, and it's the first pot of gold for him to start a business. I love to play around, Mr. Ye, don't rely on others."

Ye Fulai turned his eyes around the two of them, but Chen Zhu stared at him openly, without avoiding him, and let him scrutinize him.

On the contrary, it made Ye Fulai a little embarrassed.

Seeing Ye Fulai sizing up Chen Zhu with such eyes, Xu Lanting slightly bent his hands on his knees, and his tone became more and more hostile: "I heard that your eldest son spent nearly 3000 million just to charter a yacht and hold a party. Mr. Ye, your family background is not ordinary."

"The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, why don't you feel happy if my son spends a little money from you?" Xu Lanting smiled, his mouth was full of soft knives, and Ye Fulai's face gradually became embarrassing.

Xu Lanting refused to budge, and continued, "It's just a small amount of money... Mr. Ye, you have to rely on people who don't want to do it for even this bit of mosquito leg meat. It's a bit small."

Ye Fulai drank several sips of water in a row, and when Xu Lanting finished talking on the phone, the water in his water glass was also empty.

"Xiao Zhu, go and pour me some water." Ye Fulai wanted to push Chen Zhu away, after all, in front of such a kid - he was also his son's boyfriend, Xu Lanting blatantly satirized him, which made him very embarrassed.

Chen Zhu bowed to get the water glass, but covered the mouth of the glass with one hand.

He didn't have time to withdraw his hand, so he touched the back of Xu Lanting's hand like that.

The man's body temperature was as low as ever. Xu Lanting once laughed at himself as a cold-blooded animal. In winter, he insisted on holding Chen Zhu, deliberately teasing him, and stretching his cold hands into the boy's neck...

Chen Zhu regained his senses and withdrew his hand.

Xu Lanting raised his hand to cover the mouth of the cup, didn't look at him, but said in a low voice, "Go and do your work first."

His voice was very low, even coaxing, as if he was afraid that Chen Zhu would be wronged.

But Chen Zhu is no longer the child who needs to be coaxed and comforted.

He has grown up, and his growth was completed in a snowstorm.

Chen Zhu glanced at Ye Fulai, paused for a while, and still kept the bottom line of being polite, and smiled decently.

He stood upright, from head to toe, without the slightest embarrassment of poverty.

Chen Zhu has always been magnanimous, it was true in No. [-] Middle School, and it is true now.

"Mr. Ye, as your son's boyfriend, I have to explain some things to you, lest you misunderstand." Chen Zhu said slowly, "First of all, I am your son's boyfriend, not a love interest he found on a whim , nor the bed partner he found for fun on a whim."

Xu Lanting's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart ached sharply.

Xiao Qing'er, bed partner... The man clenched his fists involuntarily, and his eyes were lost for a moment.

"Furthermore, I don't know about the fact that he spent money on training courses for me—you probably won't believe it either." Chen Zhu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pressed it a few times and handed it to Ye Fulai, "This is It's my grades in other advanced classes."

In the mobile phone is a notice from the training class.

The content was nothing more than congratulations to Chen Zhu for achieving the top ten results in the national mock exam.

The email was followed by an electronic check for a scholarship of nearly $[-].

"I think I've made it very clear." Chen Zhu said lightly, he didn't speak too bluntly.

But Ye Fulai understood the implication of Chen Zhu's words, people like Chen Zhu don't need the so-called "help" at all.

Because he is still good enough, even so good that even Ye Xi would look up to him.

Ye Fulai smiled mischievously, and returned the phone to Chen Zhu.He paused, and then said, "Your grades are really good."

Ye Fulai thought for a while, and then said: "Young people have a lot of fighting spirit. But you are so talented, why don't you go to my company and do it first, so as not to suffer so much and take those detours."

"Sorry." Chen Zhu put away his mobile phone, "My English level should not meet the requirements of your company." He said lightly, "After all, I can't communicate in English in front of a Chinese."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhu seemed to not see the embarrassment on Ye Fulai's face, so he got up and left.

When passing by Xu Lanting's side, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the man's hand gently brushed the back of his hand.

Very lightly, like a feather being blown by the wind, it touched the skin inadvertently.

The man's voice was softer, like autumn leaves falling in the middle of a lake, with slight ripples.

"Don't be afraid," he said.

Chen Zhu thought he had heard wrong, and looked back at him, but Xu Lanting's expression was normal.

Just when the man's fox eyes were about to look over, Chen Zhu turned around silently.

Xu Lanting is an abyss that cannot be touched, Chen Zhu thought, and he left without looking back.

That plausible reassurance was casually thrown into the autumn wind.

The author has something to say: Don’t be afraid of bad guys, there is no Ye Xi, and there is Shen Qingqu (I have already thought of the name of the next chapter of the dog head: I will come on stage after you sing (hehe)
