CHAPTER 403 - INTRODUCTION
That was the only way.
Since Qin Sheng returned to Shanghai after disappearing for more than two years, Cao Yufeng had only seen him once. He was a man with ambitions and ideals. Meanwhile, his family placed high hopes on him and hoped that he could go further. Therefore, Cao Yufeng was under a lot of pressure.
He had been more mature than his peers since he was a child. He didn't touch anything that he shouldn't touch. He could have chosen Peking University or Tsinghua University based on his grades in the college entrance examination. However, Cao Yufeng knew that staying in Beijing was too tempting. Therefore, he followed his family's arrangement and came to Shanghai without hesitation.
During his four years in college, Cao Yufeng had never been in love. The number of times he skipped classes could be counted on one hand. He went to the library more often than Qin Sheng. After all, Qin Sheng sometimes went shopping with Su Qin. He majored in economics. However, he would attend the other two courses of the School of Economics, finance and public finance, as long as there were no classes in his major, so that the teachers of the two majors thought he was a student of this major. At the same time, when he was a sophomore, he chose the second major, international politics.
It could be seen that Cao Yufeng had planned his life from the very beginning, which was an official career. Among the four roommates, Cao Yufeng was definitely the most hardworking one. Even Qin Sheng felt ashamed. He had a better family background, was better than you, and worked harder than you. If such a man didn't succeed, who else could?
When he graduated from college, Cao Yufeng hesitated whether he should take the postgraduate entrance examination or not. After all, he had more choices after graduating from graduate school. However, Cao Yufeng decided not to take the postgraduate entrance examination. He chose to take the civil service examination first. Then he could work and take the postgraduate entrance examination at the same time. Therefore, in the past few years after graduation, Cao Yufeng had been very busy. He wished he could have 72 hours a day.
He had achieved what he had today, not because of his family's help, but because of his hard work. Although his family had told him about it when he was interviewed by the Ministry, his ability was still recognized.
After graduation, working, taking the postgraduate entrance examination, getting promoted, and now getting engaged and preparing for marriage, Cao Yufeng had planned his life very well. He followed the prescribed order step by step and took every step steadily.
As for his relationship with Luo Xiu, Cao Yufeng didn't know her family background at first. His friend introduced him to her. He liked this girl's simplicity and sincerity. Besides, they had many common hobbies and topics. Therefore, they finally got together. As for Cai Han, who had chased after him for two years, Cao Yufeng admitted that she was beautiful and excellent. However, there were too many good-looking people but too few interesting souls. Marriage was a lifelong event, not a child's play.
Actually, Cao Yufeng had backed away from Luo Xiu. In fact, Cao Yufeng had hesitation with Luo Xiu's love. Yufeng was not a good match. Secondly, if he couldn't even face this pressure when it came to choosing a relationship, then his heart was too weak.
One, one, Feng,'s one,'ve Two, one, one, one, one, one, two, one, one, he, he, he a, and a, he, and he., Cao Yufeng, Luo Xiu, followed Qin Sheng and sat down. The three of them sat on the side. Cao Yufeng recalled the past few years and looked Qin Sheng up and down. Xia Ding had told him that Qin Sheng had stayed in Shanghai for a while. Then he disappeared for half a year and went to Hangzhou to develop his career. Some time ago, Xia Ding had called him and told him that Qin Sheng had disappeared again. Cao Yufeng couldn't help wondering what Qin Sheng was doing. Why did he disappear all of a sudden? Today, he suddenly appeared here and supported him.
However, after the New Year's Eve dinner last night, Cao Yufeng had a video chat with Xia Ding and Yu Kefei. Of course, they talked about Qin Sheng. Xia Ding said that he didn't know how to tell them about some things. He could only tell them that Big Brother had a hard time in the past few years and that they should help Big Brother more when they became powerful in the future.
Cao Yufeng didn't say anything at that time. That was because at present, Xia Ding and Yu Kefei could help Qin Sheng more directly. However, he needed to climb to a certain position before he could help Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng also explained to the others, "Sister, Sister Ponytail, let me introduce him to you. This is my roommate for four years in college. He is also my good brother, Cao Yufeng." Otherwise, the others didn't know why he was so impulsive and didn't flinch at all.
It was not until then that the others understood. Qin Ran also understood why Qin Sheng was so angry. It turned out that he was not just an ordinary friend. He was also his roommate for four years in college. In this case, she could understand.
Ma Weiyang snorted, "Oh, oh, I see. Your brother. Today, those fools got lucky. Brother, if you are still angry, I will help you vent your anger later. "Ma Weiyang, who was annoyed by Chen Taihe, snorted. She was not afraid of Chen Taihe, but she had no way to deal with him. Besides, this matter had nothing to do with her. If Chen Taihe really provoked her, she would not care whether it was Chen Taihe or Li Taihe. She would definitely be unreasonable.
Even though she was married, Ma Weiyang, who had never been serious, teased Qin Sheng again, "But you were so handsome when you fought just now. Did you practice? If I wasn't married, I might have become your family's daughter-in-law." Even though she was married, she had never been serious.
He said, "I'm afraid that my brother-in-law heard it and blacklisted me in the future."
"Would he dare?" Ma Weiyang found it funny. Her marriage was definitely a family alliance. However, she had no problem with it, because her husband treated her really well. As long as he didn't fool around outside, she could tolerate him. Consequently, everyone was envious of Ma Weiyang, who had found a good husband.
Qin Ran stared at Ma Weiyang and said, "Stop it, Ponytail. You are making fun of my brother again."
Hearing Qin Ran's words, Ma Weiyang stopped. She turned around and chatted with Fan Dezhi and the others. Qin Ran looked at Cao Yufeng and said, "Since you are Qin Sheng's roommate, you are also my brother. Is the injury on your face okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister. It's not a big deal. I will be fine after I go back and put some ice on it. Sorry for the trouble today." Cao Yufeng was not so pretentious. It was not like he had never fought or been injured. Fortunately, it was the Spring Festival. If he went to work on a normal day, he might have a little trouble.
"You don't have to be so polite." Qin Ran looked at Luo Xiu and said, "Your name is Xiuxiu, right? I should have seen you a few times, but I met Uncle Luo more often."
Qin Ran's words left a good impression on Luo Xiu. She said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, sister Ran Ran."
At this time, Qin Ran looked at Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng immediately understood what his sister meant. If they wanted to talk about the old days, it was obviously not suitable to stay here. Consequently, Qin Sheng stood up and said goodbye to Ma Weiyang and the others. Then he left with Cao Yufeng and Luo Xiu.
Although it was the Spring Festival, there were still a lot of restaurants open in the vast city of Beijing. After all, for many people, they could celebrate the Spring Festival next year, but they could not miss the money.
This place was not far from Gui Street. After Qin Sheng went out, he took a taxi to Gui Street with Cao Yufeng and Luo Xiu, and arrived in a few minutes. Qin Sheng was not familiar with this place, so Cao Yufeng chose a restaurant called Tong Le, where he often came to eat crayfish.
They entered the restaurant, found a table, and ordered.
It was not until then that Qin Sheng looked at Luo Xiu and said to Cao Yufeng, "What? Are you not going to introduce her to me?"
It was not until then that Cao Yufeng remembered that he had not introduced Luo Xiu to Qin Sheng. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "Let me formally introduce her to you. Luo Xiu, my girlfriend, or fiancée. We got engaged before the Spring Festival. Xiu Xiu, this handsome guy, who was extremely brave just now, I guess you already know him. He is my college roommate, Qin Sheng. "
Qin Sheng took the initiative to formally greet Luo Xiu and said with a smile, "Lao Er, congratulations. It did not occur to me that you are the second hero in our dormitory who is going to go to the grave of marriage."
"You will get married sooner or later. I will not talk about Xia Ding, the playboy. But I heard from Xia Ding that you also have a girlfriend, who is so beautiful that it makes people's hair stand on end. When will you let me meet her?" When they had just been there, Cao Yufeng had felt somewhat pressured because he knew that the group of people sitting beside Qin Sheng were not ordinary people. Therefore, he had not spoken much. However, there were only the two of them now, so Cao Yufeng had returned to normal.
Speaking of Lin Su, Qin Sheng sighed subconsciously. Cao Yufeng frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did they break up?"
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "It's a long story. I will tell you later. I have not seen her for two or three months. Compared with your life, it is really not easy for me to get to where I am now."
At this time, the waiter brought the wine over. Luo Xiu poured it for them naturally. Cao Yufeng picked up the wine glass and said, "It is the Spring Festival. Let's not talk about those sad things. I don't want to ask you about your past. It is enough for me to see you today. Let's drink."
This was the Cao Yufeng he knew. Qin Sheng picked up the wine glass and drank it up. He said, "It has been one and a half years since we parted in Shanghai. Time flies. I did not expect to see you here today."
"Alas, Big Brother, to be honest, don't laugh at me. In fact, based on my level, I am not qualified to attend such a party at all. However, Xiu Xiu wanted to come and said that she would introduce me to some friends. So I followed her. It did not occur to me that I would meet Du Xuan here. However, after thinking about it, it is normal for others to come here, but it is not normal for me to come here. He and I are in the same unit. We do not like each other at all. Since we have different goals, we cannot make plans together. Usually, we do not have any contact with each other. Alas, who knows that more contradictions and hatred have arisen because of a woman. I was implicated. He likes that woman, and that woman likes me. She has been chasing after me for two days. So, you know. "Cao Yufeng briefly explained what had happened today to Qin Sheng. He also wanted to let Qin Sheng know that it was not him who took the initiative to make trouble, but others.
Qin Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "I know your character. During the four years in college, when did you make trouble? However, you are so lucky with women. Aren't you afraid that Xiu Xiu will make you kneel on the washboard later? "
Cao Yufeng said with a smile, "It's okay. She won't. Xiu Xiu knows this better than anyone else."
Qin Sheng laughed out loud as he said, "Ha, ha, ha. It seems that you have found yourself a good wife." Though there had been an unpleasant episode just now, he was in a good mood since he could see his second brother again.
Cao Yufeng picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Qin Sheng again. After that, the smile on his face faded away gradually. He said quite seriously and seriously, "Big Brother, no matter what, I have to thank you today. If it were not for you, I would have lost my face. So, Xiu Xiu and I propose a toast to you. "
Qin Sheng picked up his wine glass and smiled bitterly as he said, "Do we need to say these words to each other? Don't talk nonsense. Let's drink. "
After drinking a glass of wine, Cao Yufeng said somewhat self-mockingly, "Alas, Big Brother, don't look down on me. When we were in college, we were unscrupulous and didn't care about fighting and making trouble. However, now that we have stepped into society, there are too many things we can't do. Du Xuan punched me today. I can't afford to offend him. I can only endure it and admit that I am a coward. I don't want to endure it, either. Who would like to be a grandson? But sometimes you have to be a grandson because you don't have the strength to be a boss. I have no choice. After all, he was born in a good family and his uncle is the leader of our ministry. "
Qin Sheng was slightly stunned. He realized that his words at the beginning, "Second Brother, when did you become such a coward? You didn't even dare to fight back when you were beaten." He had hurt his second brother. He said in a hurry, "Second Brother, I didn't mean to say that. Don't take it to heart."
Cao Yufeng smiled bitterly as he said, "Big Brother, I don't blame you. I just feel a little emotional. I think it is not only me who feels this way. Lao San and Lao Si probably have more helplessness. "
Qin Sheng filled up the wine glass and said, "Let's not talk about this today. After the Spring Festival, I will trick Lao San and Lao Si into going to Beijing. At that time, we will talk about it and get drunk."
Cao Yufeng, who also felt that it was too sad, said in a hurry, "Okay. Let's not talk about this. Let's drink."
They did not drink for a long time. After all, it was the Spring Festival. Everyone had something to do tomorrow. However, they drank happily.
Qin Sheng and Cao Yufeng did not talk too much nonsense. Cao Yufeng did not ask Qin Sheng anything about his past, nor did Qin Sheng ask about his work. That was because these things were not important to them.
At this moment, it was enough for the two brothers to see each other and drink.
Qin Ran sent a message to Qin Sheng on the way to ask him where he was. Qin Sheng told her that he was at the Tong Le Restaurant on Gui Street. Consequently, Qin Ran asked Uncle Gongsun to arrange a car to wait for Qin Sheng outside the Tong Le Restaurant until Qin Sheng, Cao Yufeng, and Xiu Xiu separated.
On the way back to the siheyuan of the Qin Family, Qin Sheng felt a little emotional, especially when Cao Yufeng said, "I can only endure it and admit that I am a coward." He felt very sad. However, he had no choice. This was life.
