Her roommate, Wei Rong, noticed that there was something wrong with the pills, but she didn't ask further. Although she got along well with Luo Xuan, it was more of an "isolated" group, and they didn't have a deep relationship.
Besides, Luo Xuan had a bad temper. If she was rejected, she would be embarrassed.
The night passed quietly. The next morning, at 6: 00, there were noises in the girls' dormitory. The graduation ceremony would start at 8: 00, so they had to prepare in advance.
Luo Xuan's dormitory was the same. The six girls got up one by one to brush their teeth and wash their faces. However, because of the existence of a small group, the atmosphere in the dormitory was still abnormal.
The four girls talked about "the weather, the process of the graduation ceremony, who their parents would come …" and so on. Luo Xuan and Wei Rong didn't talk much. They were silently preparing for their own things.
It was normal to have conflicts in the dormitory, and it was not rare to have a "small group". In the past, Kim Yang-myung had planned to isolate Dai Zhenyou with Yang Shichao, but Chen Hansheng stopped him.
Because once a roommate was isolated, it seemed that the small group had "won" on the surface, but in fact, the relationship of the whole dormitory was destroyed.
Imagine, if Xiao Jin succeeded in isolating Dai Zhenyou, he and Dai Zhenyou would pass by in such a small space in the dormitory without saying hello. Not only would Dai Zhenyou feel embarrassed, but even Chen Hansheng, an outsider, would be unhappy, let alone get together to drink and play cards.
Chen Hansheng liked to have a lively scene, so he naturally wouldn't allow such a situation to happen. In fact, what he did was very right. Now that everyone had graduated, they missed the 602 dormitory very much when they thought about it.
Unfortunately, Chen Hansheng could stop his own dormitory, but there was nothing he could do about Luo Xuan's dormitory. Of course, Luo Xuan didn't care about it.
Wei Rong only cared about Chen Hansheng. After breakfast, she and Wei Rong went to the auditorium of the school and sat in their own class area.
The auditorium was full of graduates in bachelor's clothes. Those young faces were full of excitement for graduation and longing for the future.
At 8 o 'clock, the graduation ceremony began on time. The school leaders and student representatives took turns to speak, but Luo Xuan was a little distracted. She often looked at her phone repeatedly, as if waiting for a call or a message.
Wei Rong noticed her abnormality and took the initiative to ask, "Uncle and Auntie, what time are you coming?"
Many parents of graduates would attend the graduation photo shoot. Wei Rong thought that Luo Xuan was waiting for her parents.
"What?"
Luo Xuan froze for a moment. "I don't know. They might arrive at noon."
"Aren't you waiting for your parents?"
Wei Rong suddenly realized that they should be waiting for the legendary "Senior Brother Chen".
Wei Rong was quite curious. Senior Brother Chen was supposed to be a soft-spoken, bright-smiling, liberal arts guy with gold-rimmed glasses. Only in this way could he complement Luo Xuan's personality.
Not long after, Luo Xuan finally received a phone call. Wei Rong didn't intend to eavesdrop, but the two of them were sitting next to each other, and she was also very interested, so she could vaguely hear some of the conversation.
It seemed to be a girl's voice on the other side of the phone. Her tone was lively, and she should be young.
Luo Xuan lowered her voice and said intermittently, "Lan, is your older brother coming to pick you up? I know, I have to pretend to be surprised. Okay, I'll talk to you later."
Luo Xuan didn't say much, but she was obviously in a good mood after hanging up the phone. Wei Rong asked tentatively, "Is your classmate coming over?"
"Nope."
Luo Xuan shook her head. "She's a younger sister."
After that, Luo Xuan was more active in the process of the graduation ceremony. For example, she went on stage to receive her marriage certificate, and pulled off the tassel on her graduation cap.
When Luo Xuan received her marriage certificate, the dean of the Accounting School smiled kindly and said a few more words to her. Although it was the most common encouragement and blessings, her classmates and roommates were still very surprised.
Luo Xuan wasn't an excellent graduate. She had only transferred to this school in her senior year. It was obvious that she was here to get her graduation certificate. The fact that the school agreed to let her graduate meant that her family was not simple.
Now, the dean's action proved the rumor once again. The counselor was very calm, which meant that she had already known about it.
The graduation ceremony ended around 11: 30 pm, and then it was time for each class to take photos. Luo Xuan and her roommates gathered at the entrance of the library, and the parents were waiting by the side.
After the class took photos together, it was time for the students to be free. When Chen Hansheng graduated, he had the prestige and ability to gather all the students together and organize them to take photos in various scenic spots in Jianye.
After all, this was only a small number. Most graduates left school in a rush, noisy, and confused state. Looking back on it many years later, almost no one remembered that day.
However, when they were lining up, some sharp-eyed students noticed that several school leaders had appeared and seemed to be communicating with the parents.
Principal Tan of Hu City University of Finance and Economics was a very powerful economic expert and doctorate instructor. He enjoyed a special government allowance. His reputation in the history of domestic economic development and research was almost equal to Professor Sun Biyu's status in the legal field.
Now that he was receiving them in person, the other party's identity was definitely not simple.
Among the few people accompanying Principal Tan, there was a middle-aged couple. The man was tall and strong, and the woman had very fair skin. They seemed to be successful businessmen.
There was also a little girl about 20 years old. She had short hair that reached her shoulders and a strange look in her eyes. She looked smart and lively.
However, the three of them didn't talk much. Principal Tan was chatting more with another young man.
This young man was dressed very casually. "Short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flat shoes." He looked like an ordinary college student. However, in front of the nationally famous economic expert, he looked confident and at ease. His hands were behind his back, and his mouth was smiling from time to time under his sunglasses.
"Luo Xuan."
Wei Rong looked at the middle-aged couple for a while and asked uncertainly, "That's your parents, right? They came to the dormitory."
Luo Xuan didn't answer. Her attention was on the young man.
The surrounding students heard them. They first glanced at Luo Xuan, but no one said anything. They continued to look at the few people.
Soon, the little girl was the first to notice Luo Xuan. She raised her hand and waved it. Then, she pulled the young man over.
The young man didn't seem to have any intention of hiding his identity. He was holding a bouquet of sunflowers for the graduates. As he walked, he took off his sunglasses. The moment his "real face" was revealed, the graduates at the entrance of the library suddenly exclaimed in unison, "F * ck!!!"
This was because this was Chen Hansheng from Nutshell Electronics. "Nutshell Chen" had too many fans on campus.
Some were "character fans". Chen Hansheng had started two businesses. He had risen up and fallen down, and he had made a comeback. He had changed the structure of two major industries in the country. These experiences were very inspirational.
Some were purely "shell fans". Back when Nokia and Motorola phones were still luxury goods that cost more than 6,000 yuan, it was Nutshell Electronics that brought down the price. Moreover, Nutshell Express, Nutshell Community, Nutshell Cloud, and other software were very suitable for the spiritual needs of contemporary young people. Almost everyone had a Nutshell account.
There were also "patriotic fans". Chen Hansheng's experience in Korea had turned many of them into his fans.
Finally, there were also "face fans". These were the most unreasonable fans. In short, when Chen Hansheng found out that there was such a group, he was stunned for a long time. He even created a QQ account to sneak into the group. When he had nothing to do, he would listen to them bragging about his appearance.
Therefore, when Chen Hansheng appeared, the students forgot that they were still taking graduation photos. They all subconsciously rushed up or excitedly called other acquaintances to hurry over to see their idol.
Chen Hansheng didn't put on any airs at all. He greeted everyone with a smile and answered all kinds of random questions.
"Director Chen, what are you doing in our school?"
Someone shouted loudly.
"A friend of mine has graduated."
Chen Hansheng replied, "I brought my younger sister here to celebrate."
"Oh!"
Everyone suddenly realized that the short-haired girl was Director Chen's younger sister.
"Then who is your friend? Which class is she in?"
Someone was interested in this question again.
"Here you are."
Chen Hansheng gestured to Luo Xuan with his lips. Under the gaze of everyone, he smiled and handed the bouquet to her. "Junior, happy graduation."
"… Thank you, Senior Chen."
Although Luo Xuan knew that Chen Hansheng would appear, she was still very touched. The corners of her mouth moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she condensed it into a "thank you".
College students were very gossipy. Seeing this scene, they immediately inquired about the relationship between Chen Hansheng and Luo Xuan.
"Director Chen."
A student immediately asked, "I'm a die-hard fan. You admitted that you already have a girlfriend at the launch of the first generation of mobile phones. Is it this student?"
Chen Hansheng had already expected this question. He laughed and said, "Luo Xuan and I are from the same hometown in Harbor City. We went to the same high school, and our parents know each other. I happen to be free today, so I came with my younger sister to attend her graduation ceremony."
Chen Hansheng did not answer the question directly, but in the ears of the listeners, this was a disguised denial.
Luo Xuan naturally understood. Her smiling face suddenly became cold. She stared at Chen Hansheng stubbornly and pitifully.
"Sister Xuan!"
At this time, Chen Lan showed her usefulness. She also held Luo Xuan's arm and called her intimately.
"Aren't you usually very loud?"
Luo Xuan said coldly, "Why are you so reluctant to open your mouth now?"
"Hehe!"
Chen Lan did not refute. She just rubbed her face on Luo Xuan's shoulder. If other people heard her calling her "sister Xuan", her brother would be involved in a scandal again.
"You're as shameless as your brother!"
Luo Xuan pushed Chen Lan a few times, but she did not move. She could only let Chen Lan act cute. On the other side, Chen Hansheng was still answering the students' questions. His style was very much like his personal style.
"Director Chen, when will the third-generation mobile phones be launched?"
"Around the middle of August."
… ….
"Director Chen, what does the Twin Lotus Flowers theme represent?"
"It's a secret first. What if you don't buy it in the future?"
… ….
"Director Chen, how about going back to your hometown after graduation? My hometown is in Huanggang. Have you been there before?"
"I'm sorry I haven't been there before, but I studied the questions in your hometown in high school. Going back to my hometown is a good choice."
… ….
"Director Chen, you already have so much money. Are you happy every day?"
"That's not right. Money can't buy happiness, but if you have a lot of money, others will find ways to make you happy."
… ….
With Chen Hansheng's personality, it was easy for him to get along with the students. In the end, the students only returned to their seats when the counselor urged them to take graduation photos.
Chen Hansheng continued to talk with the principal of the University of Finance and Economics, but Luo Xuan looked at him in a different way. Although she had already guessed that Luo Xuan came from a rich family, she did not expect that she knew "Nutshell Chen".
Needless to say, the girls in the same dormitory knew that Chen Hansheng was "Senior Chen". Luo Xuan often called him.
However, this was the real world. The four girls in the small group would not be like those in online novels, where they would have the humble thought of "I should have kneeled down and licked Luo Xuan's boots". That would be too childish, and not the thinking logic of an adult college student.
Of course, it was inevitable that they felt jealous. Although they seemed to have "won" Luo Xuan and Wei Rong in college, it was not something to be proud of after entering society.
On the contrary, Wei Rong had a house in Hu City and Luo Xuan had a household registration. Needless to say, she did not need to worry about money for the rest of her life. Thinking of the petty victory in their dormitory, it was a little ridiculous.
In fact, apart from the clique, Wei Rong also had her own plans. She had submitted her resume to the branch factory of Nutshell Electronics in Hu City, but her qualifications were not enough. According to the normal process, it was almost impossible for her to be hired.
However, coincidentally, Luo Xuan's "Senior Chen" was the boss of Nutshell Electronics. Wei Rong and Luo Xuan could be considered comrades in "isolated circumstances". She wondered if Luo Xuan could help her to increase her chances of getting into Nutshell Electronics.
"Luo Xuan."
Wei Rong knew Luo Xuan's temper very well, so she did not beat around the bush. "Can you help me ask Director Chen if I have any hope of getting into Nutshell Electronics?"
Luo Xuan rarely asked about Chen Hansheng's business. The topic of the third-generation computer was too sensitive, so she wanted to fight for it.
However, Wei Rong's words and expression were very sincere. Luo Xuan remembered that in the past year, when the other roommates were cold, it was this local girl who would call her when they were eating.
"I'll ask."
Luo Xuan still agreed. "But it might not be successful."
"It's okay."
Wei Rong shrugged. "If I can't get into Nutshell Electronics, I'll find a way to marry a Nutshell engineer in the future. After all, I like the logo of Nutshell Electronics so much."
After taking the graduation photos, Luo Xuan walked to her parents and Chen Hansheng. Wei Rong looked at her back and sighed silently.
Except for a very small number of college roommates, their relationship with each other was relatively flat. In the first two years after graduation, they might still contact each other during festivals. After that, they gradually disappeared.
"I wonder what the relationship between Luo Xuan and Director Chen is."
Wei Rong saw Luo Xuan's infatuation with Senior Chen.
… ….
At noon, Principal Tan invited Chen Hansheng to the teachers' cafeteria to "comment" on the food. Chen Hansheng was very polite and did not refuse.
Luo Xuan's family naturally went with them. Along the way, there were some Nutshell fans who came after hearing the news from time to time. They held a notebook in their hands and wanted Chen Hansheng to sign it.
It was a pity that Chen Hansheng could not do anything except for the word "Yue", which was the most beautiful. However, he had a way. He generously replaced the "signature" with "group photo", which made the fans even happier.
During lunch, Professor Tan and other school leaders talked about this year's economic situation. College teachers' theoretical level was very high, but Chen Hansheng's practical awareness was very strong. Both of them had a heated discussion.
Luo Haiping and Huang Xiaoxia did not know how to interrupt. Although they also had tens of millions of yuan in assets, when it came to "listed companies, industry shocks, financial crisis", Luo Haiping was also confused.
Luo Xuan also didn't fully understand, but she liked Chen Hansheng's boldness when he bragged. Sometimes, she even stopped eating and stared at him blankly.
"Luo Xuan can't stay in China after graduation. She still wants to pursue Chen Hansheng."
Huang Xiaoxia noticed the scene and said to her husband worriedly, "Otherwise, she'll chase after Chen Hansheng sooner or later. I want to send her abroad to study accounting as a master's degree. What do you think?"
"I don't think it's a good idea."
Luo Haiping thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about whether Luo Xuan agrees or not. If she still wants to pursue Chen Hansheng after her master's degree, are you going to continue to send her to study for a doctorate?"
"… I don't care," Huang Xiaoxia said firmly.
Huang Xiaoxia said resolutely, "Chen Hansheng already has two children. I can't watch her step into the mud. We can talk about the future later. Let's get through these three years first. If she doesn't agree, I'll kill myself in front of her!"
"Why are you always like this?"
Luo Haiping said with dissatisfaction, "Luo Xuan learned her bad temper from you. She's always stubborn."
"How dare you criticize me?"
Huang Xiaoxia also talked about the old history, "If you didn't quarrel with me all the time and didn't give Luo Xuan a warm family atmosphere, she wouldn't rely on Chen Hansheng in her life."
The former couple who hadn't remarried yet quarreled again, but it was a little loud, so other people noticed it.
Chen Hansheng didn't say anything, but Luo Xuan frowned.
As the host, although the old principal didn't know the reason why the couple quarreled, he politely changed the topic.
"President Chen, since you've eaten, I have to give you some advice," the old principal said jokingly.
"Why don't Nutshell come to our university for the on-campus job fair? You can't just focus on the top universities like Fudan Jiaotong University. You don't want the undergraduates of the University of Finance and Economics, but we have graduate students and doctorates."
"Is there such a thing?"
Chen Hansheng said, "I don't usually care about the on-campus job fair. After going back, I'll try to find out more about it and try to recruit some talents next year."
This was the truth. Chen Hansheng didn't have time to care about these trivial things. In fact, among the senior management members, only the chairman of Nutshell Network, Huang Liqian, was more active in this aspect.
Huang graduated from Fudan University with a doctorate. Probably because of his "family background," Huang valued the qualifications of the engineers who submitted their resumes very much.
There were many such stories circulating in the network department. For example, there was an excellent doctor in the University of Science and Technology who had published many SCI papers. After Huang Liqian heard about it, he personally went to invite him with a contract.
However, the other party wasn't willing and said that Nutshell Electronics didn't have a suitable research project for him at the moment. Moreover, Ali offered him a high salary.
Huang Liqian immediately promised that he would immediately start the research project if the student liked it. After happily inviting this treasure back, Huang Liqian even asked for credit at the board meeting.
There was also a master's student from Fudan University who majored in communications. It was said that his score for the first postgraduate examination was 442 points. Huang Liqian specially met with this junior and issued a training contract for him to work at Nutshell Electronics after graduation.
As for the talented students who studied abroad, Huang Liqian spared no effort to find them. Over time, Nutshell became a phoenix tree branch that attracted phoenixes.
It was also nicknamed "Peach Factory" on the Internet, probably derived from the "♥" in Nutshell's logo. At the same time, Tencent's "Goose Factory" and Huawei's "Chrysanthemum Factory" also received similar nicknames.
After Chen Hansheng told everyone about the doctor from the University of Science and Technology and the master's student from Fudan University, everyone at the table laughed. Luo Xuan also told them about her roommate Wei Rong's request. Chen Hansheng directly said, "No problem, let her go to the HR department of the branch factory in Hu City."
Nutshell Electronics could even afford to raise a highly-paid engineer, so it was not a small matter to train another accountant.
Because he couldn't let go, but he also couldn't accept it, Chen Hansheng always felt guilty towards his junior. Therefore, as long as it wasn't a request to "have a child", he would usually satisfy it.
After dinner, the school leaders all left. At this time, Luo Xuan asked, "Luo Haiping, why did you quarrel just now? If you can't live a good life, then don't remarry."
"How can you say that?"
Before Luo Haiping could say anything, Huang Xiaoxia opened her mouth first. "Your father and I have already decided to send you abroad to study accounting."
Chen Hansheng's expression changed slightly when he heard the words "go abroad for postgraduate studies".
It was easy to guess what Aunt Huang was thinking. She simply wanted to distance him from Luo Xuan. However, this arrangement was quite good for Chen Hansheng. Luo Xuan went abroad to study for two or three years, and when she came back, Chen Zijin and Chen Zipei would have grown up. By then, he would have extra energy to deal with his relationship with his junior.
"I won't go!"
However, Luo Xuan refused without hesitation.
"You have to go!"
Huang Xiaoxia was also very stubborn.
In an instant, the mother and daughter were at loggerheads. Chen Hansheng knew that he couldn't say anything at this time. It was inappropriate for him to support either of them, so he simply pretended to be mute.
"Luo Haiping is here anyway."
Chen Hansheng thought in his heart.
However, Luo Haiping was also very cunning. Although he looked like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was actually a man who had been through a lot. How could he be simple and honest? He immediately pulled Chen Hansheng into the water.
"Hansheng."
Luo Haiping asked with a serious face. "We are worried about this issue. Do you think Luo Xuan should go abroad?"
"F * ck!"
Chen Hansheng thought that Luo Haiping's conscience was very bad. Was it appropriate for him to express his opinion?
If he supported Luo Xuan to go abroad, his junior would think that he disliked her, and she would definitely be sad.
If he didn't support Luo Xuan to go abroad, he would be against Aunt Huang, and it wouldn't be in line with his "arrangement of interests".
"Yes."
Huang Xiaoxia also realized it and hurriedly asked, "Hansheng, you can be the judge too."
"Me …"
Chen Hansheng choked for a moment and glanced at Luo Xuan.
His junior definitely didn't want to leave. She was waiting to find Chen Hansheng after graduation.
However, she also wanted to hear Chen Hansheng's answer now, and her eyes were filled with expectation.
"Tsk, tsk …"
Chen Lan also felt that this question was very difficult to answer. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to go back to school to do experiments.
"Okay."
However, Chen Hansheng was very calm and said, "I support her going to graduate school. After all, there is no harm in learning more knowledge …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately noticed that Luo Xuan's breathing suddenly became heavy, and Huang Xiaoxia's tense face slightly relaxed. If Chen Hansheng supported her, this matter would most likely be successful.
"However …"
Chen Hansheng suddenly changed his mind, "I don't think it's necessary to go abroad for graduate school. In fact, there are many good accounting schools in Jianye. I have a secretary who graduated from an auditing school. If it really doesn't work, she can go to her alma mater, Jianye University of Finance …"
"Hehe."
Chen Lan almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
This answer was very sarcastic because Huang Xiaoxia didn't want Luo Xuan to go to graduate school, and her real intention was to avoid Chen Hansheng. However, Chen Hansheng deliberately pretended that he didn't know and even suggested that she go to graduate school.
In this way, he not only supported Huang Xiaoxia, but also didn't offend Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan immediately said, "I agree to go to graduate school in Jianye."
"I don't agree!"
Huang Xiaoxia didn't agree and even signaled Old Luo to help her with her eyes.
Luo Haiping shook his head. In this situation, it wasn't suitable for them to continue arguing. It would only stimulate Luo Xuan's reverse psychology. They had to find a suitable opening to communicate.
… ….
Although the issue of "graduate school" wasn't settled, it didn't affect Luo Xuan and Chen Lan from taking photos of various scenic spots in the school in the afternoon. Hucheng University of Finance was a century-old school. Although it wasn't big, there were many memorable places.
After taking photos near Chunhui Lake, Luo Xuan sat on a rock and took a short rest. Chen Lan was full of energy. She took photos everywhere with her SLR camera.
Chen Hansheng was also busy. He often had calls from his subordinates to discuss work.
Huang Xiaoxia was still thinking about how to persuade her stubborn daughter. Old Luo looked around and felt that this was a good time. He slowly walked to Luo Xuan and sat down.
"Cough!"
Luo Haiping coughed lightly.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Xuan turned her head, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Yes."
Old Luo nodded slightly.
"Tsk ~"
Luo Xuan didn't care. She sneered and said, "You also want to persuade me to go abroad for graduate school? You also want to say that Chen Hansheng is not a good man. But Luo Haiping, don't forget that you have a mistress outside, and the mistress is even worse. At least Chen Hansheng isn't married, so it's not considered an affair."
Luo Haiping sighed. Only his biological daughter dared to say that. If it was someone else, he would have punched them.
"I don't want to persuade you to go abroad for graduate school. To be honest, I don't agree with this."
Old Luo hammered his thigh and said calmly, "Besides, I'm not a good man, so I understand Chen Hansheng very well."
"What do you mean?"
Luo Xuan was indeed interested when Chen Hansheng was mentioned.
"First of all, I have to say that Hansheng definitely has feelings for you. Otherwise, why would he take a day out to celebrate your graduation when he is so busy?"
Luo Haiping was an experienced man, and he knew his daughter very well, so he cut to the topic smoothly.
"Of course Chen Hansheng has feelings for me. If it weren't for Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu, Chen Hansheng and I would have been married."
Luo Xuan raised her head and said confidently.
"Do you know the reason?"
Luo Haiping asked, "Why did they steal Chen Hansheng away?"
"Because they are a little prettier than me."
Luo Xuan answered without hesitation.
"I don't think that's the reason. Different people are attracted to different people."
Luo Haiping naturally wouldn't admit that his daughter was inferior to other people. He said slowly, "The real reason is that you don't know Chen Hansheng well enough. Although you have known him for seven years, can you guess what he is thinking?"
"I …"
Luo Xuan paused for a second, then said stubbornly, "Of course I can guess it."
"Do you know that Chen Hansheng also wants you to leave?"
Luo Haiping said with bright eyes, "At least he wants you to leave for two years."
"Nonsense!"
Luo Xuan didn't believe that Chen Hansheng wanted her to stay in Jianye.
"Humph!"
Old Luo sneered, "He said that because he didn't want you to be sad. In fact, he doesn't think so. That's why I said that you don't know Chen Hansheng well enough."
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between us?"
Luo Xuan was very unhappy.
"That's not it."
Old Luo said calmly, "I'm just teaching you how to get to know Chen Hansheng better. You once said that Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu are not on good terms, so Chen Hansheng's love life is quite bad. Besides, his two children are still young …"
Luo Haiping said as he observed Luo Xuan's expression. He adjusted his tone at the right time, "In such a chaotic time, he wouldn't want you to be involved in Jianye. I think he doesn't even dare to be close to you, because he is worried that you will cause trouble for him if he leaves evidence behind."
Luo Xuan's expression gradually changed from disdain to silence after Old Luo said a lot.
"Men know men better than men. I'm sure you're right," Gu Ning said.
Luo Haiping felt that it was enough. He patted his daughter's shoulder, "If you still don't believe me, you can ask Chen Hansheng yourself."
Then, Old Luo stood up and walked back to Huang Xiaoxia. Huang Xiaoxia asked with confusion, "What did you talk about with our daughter? They talked for more than half an hour."
"According to your instructions, I persuaded her to go to graduate school."
Old Luo sighed, "But the method was a little cruel."
"The method is not important."
Huang Xiaoxia immediately asked, "Did Luo Xuan agree?"
"I don't know yet."
Luo Haiping shook his head. He understood that this was treating the symptoms but not the root cause. In order to prevent this ill-fated relationship, Huang Xiaoxia first brought Luo Xuan to Korea, then to Hu City, and now to other places.
However, as long as Luo Xuan didn't change her mind, it was useless. But she was so stubborn that she wouldn't change her mind easily.
… ….
"Xuan, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Lan walked around the school. When she came back, she found that her brother was still on the phone and her sister-in-law was in a daze. Chen Lan only reacted when she called her name twice.
"Nothing."
Luo Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and glanced in Chen Hansheng's direction. "The photos are almost done. I'll take you around the city."
"Okay!"
Chen Lan happily agreed. Xuan is probably going to buy me a gift to reward me for tipping them off.
Chen Lan hurriedly urged Chen Hansheng to end the call. Chen Hansheng didn't care. He originally planned to accompany Luo Xuan today, so he didn't mind going anywhere.
"I'll go back to the dormitory to change my clothes first."
Luo Xuan said to her parents, "You can go back. I'll have dinner with Chen Hansheng tonight."
Because of Chen Lan, Huang Xiaoxia wasn't worried that Chen Hansheng and Luo Xuan would do something alone. However, when Chen Lan wanted to go back to the dormitory with Luo Xuan, she was rejected by Luo Xuan.
"I'm not a man. Why can't you let me go?"
Chen Lan grumbled unhappily.
Of course, Luo Xuan wouldn't let Chen Lan follow her because she had something secret to do. After returning to the dormitory, Luo Xuan poured out the blue pills from the box before her other roommates came back. Crack, crack, crack. She crushed the blue pills little by little and put them back into the bag.
"I was a little hesitant at first …"
Luo Xuan stared at the blue powder and murmured to herself, "I'll ask Chen Hansheng later. If he wants me to stay in Jianye, he won't drug me to sleep. If it's like what Luo Haiping said, Chen Hansheng also wants me to leave temporarily, then I'll drug him to sleep …"
"Anyway, I have to sleep tonight!"
Luo Xuan opened the wardrobe and picked out a set of black lace underwear that she had specially bought.
… ….
The shopping malls in Hu City were basically concentrated on Huaihai Road, Xujiahui Road, and Jianye Road. Chen Hansheng didn't drive. He just wore sunglasses and a cap and leisurely followed behind Luo Xuan and Chen Lan.
Every time they went to try on clothes, Chen Hansheng would find a corner and take out his phone to read the news or continue to discuss work with his subordinates.
In a women's clothing store in the World Trade Building, Luo Xuan carefully selected clothes for Chen Lan. In fact, Luo Xuan wasn't a mature person, but she would try her best to act like a sister-in-law in front of Chen Lan.
"Lan."
Luo Xuan picked out a dress and handed it to Chen Lan. She said something else, "Don't go back tonight."
"Sure."
Chen Lan didn't think it was a big deal. "I haven't stayed in your house in Hu City yet."
"We're not going back home either."
Luo Xuan said lightly, "We're staying in a hotel."
"Why?"
Before Chen Lan could understand, Luo Xuan added, "I plan to sleep in the same room with your brother, and you'll sleep in the other room."
"What?!!!"
Chen Lan thought that she had misheard. She blinked her eyes in disbelief.
"What?"
Luo Xuan pinched Chen Lan's face. "You're a grown-up now. Are you afraid to sleep alone?"
"No, it's not."
Chen Lan was stunned for a while and stammered, "You, you want to do that?"
The Internet was so developed nowadays. Even if Chen Lan hadn't been in a relationship before, she could learn a lot from porn.
"Yes."
Luo Xuan admitted frankly, "So you'd better know your place. Don't get in the way of me sleeping with your brother."
"Of course I know my place. You're my sister-in-law after all. In my heart, you're exactly the same as Youchu and Little Yu 'er."
Chen Lan was a little confused after flattering Luo Xuan. "But does my brother know about it?"
"He doesn't."
Luo Xuan looked at Chen Lan and then at the exquisite dress in her hand. She said meaningfully, "So you might have to cooperate."
"Ah …"
Chen Lan seemed to be in a dilemma. "He's my best friend, my brother …"
"Add a small LV satchel."
Luo Xuan interrupted her.
"No problem!"
Chen Lan agreed without hesitation. "How do you want to sleep with my brother? I promise I'll do my best to cooperate!"
… ….
Chen Hansheng probably didn't know that in his sister's heart, her chastity was equal to a dress and a bag. He even called a high-end restaurant near the Bund to make a reservation.
During dinner, Luo Xuan once again suggested not to go back tonight. Before Chen Hansheng could say anything, Chen Lan agreed loudly. She also said that she wanted to stay in a hotel instead of staying at Luo Xuan's house.
Chen Hansheng looked at the time. They could go back to Jianye tomorrow. Besides, he was a little scared of Auntie Huang, so a hotel was a good choice.
Because of Chen Lan's cooperation, Chen Hansheng didn't notice anything strange until now.
After dinner, it was almost 8: 30. The three of them walked along the Bund and finally sat down at an open-air bar by the river.
The Huangpu River lay in front of them. The dark water gurgled, and the Oriental Pearl Tower was across the river. The small western-style buildings on both sides of the road reminded them of the era of the Shili Ocean Field.
"Hu City is really a good place."
Chen Hansheng praised. "After Nutshell is listed, I'm going to open a reception center in Lujiazui. That way, the company will be more impressive."
"The scenery is really good."
Luo Xuan glanced at Chen Lan. "Lan, why don't you take a few photos?"
"Uh …"
Chen Lan paused for a second and immediately said, "I almost forgot. I'll go now."
Chen Lan immediately took the DSLR and ran a little further away. This action was very obvious. Chen Hansheng asked Luo Xuan, "You sent Chen Lan away. Do you have something to say to me?"
"Nothing. Can't we be alone for a while?"
Luo Xuan asked.
"Of course."
Chen Hansheng smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Luo Xuan didn't say anything either. There were many people on the riverbank, and the environment was a little lively. However, it made the two feel more peaceful.
Especially under the dim light, Luo Xuan's fair skin stood out even more. The gentle evening wind lifted the hair on her temples from time to time, and a few strands covered her face. Luo Xuan just gently smoothed them down.
That pair of aggressive eyes was now much gentler.
In fact, Luo Xuan was also very charming when she wasn't paranoid.
"Senior Chen."
After a long time, Luo Xuan finally opened her mouth. "Do you think … I know you well?"
"You know me well?"
For a person like Chen Hansheng, whenever he encountered a problem, he would subconsciously ponder about the intentions of the other party's questions.
Luo Xuan also knew this habit of his, so she urged him. "Don't think too much. I want to hear the truest answer in your heart."
"Well …"
Chen Hansheng still paused for a while. In fact, Luo Xuan was far from being ranked in the list of people who knew him well.
Chen Hansheng's philosophy was very complicated. He was very adaptable and knew people well. Many things he dealt with even had a perfect "artistic sense".
Luo Xuan was more like "Great strength creates miracles". She only cared about the operation with great strength. As for whether it succeeded or not, it was up to miracles.
However, if Chen Hansheng told Luo Xuan the truth, Luo Xuan might be unhappy again. Therefore, Chen Hansheng took the opportunity and said, "No matter whether you know me or not, I know you very well. According to the law of 'the effect of force is mutual', it can be proved that you also know me well …"
"I understand."
Luo Xuan nodded. Although Chen Hansheng was playing with dolls, she still understood the subtext.
Actually, he did not understand what Senior Brother Chen meant.
"It's exactly the same as Luo Haiping's judgment."
Luo Xuan was a little sad. It turned out that for so many years, she didn't know what Chen Hansheng was thinking. Was that why she lost to Xiao Rongyu and Shen Youchu?
"It's nothing."
Chen Hansheng saw Luo Xuan's disappointment and comforted her. "If you can pry into other people's hearts like a psychiatrist, I'll be scared."
"I'm not interested in other people's hearts."
Luo Xuan said in a low voice.
"What?"
Chen Hansheng didn't hear it clearly because of the noisy wind on the river.
"No."
Luo Xuan shook her head. "I said, if Chen Hansheng really knows me, then he should be able to guess that I promised Luo Haiping this afternoon and am preparing to go to graduate school."
Luo Xuan was testing. She was worried that if she asked directly, Chen Hansheng wouldn't tell the truth.
After asking, Luo Xuan stared at Chen Hansheng closely, paying attention to the slight changes on his face.
"You promised to go to graduate school?"
This time, Chen Hansheng was really surprised. In fact, he had been worried about how to stop Luo Xuan from breaking the hard-won situation after the "Shuraba" was solved.
Now that he suddenly heard that Luo Xuan was going to graduate school, Chen Hansheng subconsciously relaxed his brows.
However, he reacted quickly and immediately began to persuade her. "Oh, why did you agree? It's very tiring to be a graduate student in accounting. You have to deal with numbers all day long."
"… Maybe."
Luo Xuan fixed her eyes on Chen Hansheng.
Luo Xuan still caught the action of "relaxing his brows". She finally understood that everything was as her father said.
It turned out that she really didn't know Senior Chen well.
It turned out that Senior Chen really wanted her to go to graduate school for two years.
"How about … I talk to Uncle Luo and Auntie Huang tomorrow?"
This was Chen Hansheng's thought. Although it was better for his situation if Luo Xuan went to graduate school, it was obvious that she was unwilling to do so. Why bother?
As for what would happen in the future at most, he would find a way to memorize it himself.
"Senior Chen, do you really want me to stay?"
Luo Xuan's eyes lit up.
"I …"
Chen Hansheng forced a smile and nodded.
"Okay."
Luo Xuan stared at Chen Hansheng for a long time, then took a sip of her milk tea and said, "Senior Chen, I've finished this cup. Can you go to the store and buy me another one?"
"Sure."
Chen Hansheng satisfied his junior sister's request and swaggered into the store.
After making sure that Chen Hansheng was in the line, Luo Xuan took out the bag of powder from her pocket.
… ….
Before long, Chen Hansheng returned to his seat with the milk tea. Luo Xuan talked about the memories in high school again. Chen Hansheng also talked about it with great interest. When he was thirsty, he drank two sips of his lemon tea.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Hansheng suddenly felt that something was wrong. It seemed that compared to before, the taste seemed to be a little bitter.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Xuan asked.
"It's a little bitter."
Chen Hansheng drank two more sips and said.
"Maybe it's because the lemon has been soaked for a long time."
Luo Xuan was very calm. "Do you want to buy another cup?"
"I'm too lazy to go."
Chen Hansheng curled his lips and said, "The line is too long. The business here is almost as good as that of the milk tea branch in Xinjiekou."
Chen Hansheng didn't think much about it. He didn't think that Luo Xuan would put drugs in the lemon tea. At around ten o 'clock, Chen Hansheng came back. She had walked a lot today and was begging Chen Hansheng to help her massage her legs.
"What's there to rub?"
Chen Hansheng stood up and said, "Just find a hotel and take a shower."
There were many five-star hotels on the Bund. After Chen Hansheng booked two rooms, he smacked his lips and asked in the elevator, "Is the food too salty tonight? I've already drunk a cup of tea. Why do I still feel thirsty?"
"I think it's a little salty too."
Luo Xuan replied.
When they reached the door of one of the rooms, Chen Lan took the room card and went in. She then tilted her head and said, "Brother, Sister Xuan, good night ~"
"Wait a minute."
Chen Hansheng turned his head and looked at Luo Xuan. "Aren't you going in?"
"Chen Lan will sleep alone tonight. I'll sleep with you."
Luo Xuan said calmly.
"Well …"
Chen Hansheng was stunned for a moment. In fact, to him, he and Luo Xuan would definitely take this step, but now was really not the right time. The Asura Arena had not completely ended, and his two daughters were still very young. If Luo Xuan were to get involved, with her personality, it was very likely that she would cause trouble.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng set a rule — before the two girls grew up, he couldn't let Luo Xuan have him.
"I'm a little tired today."
Chen Hansheng coughed and said, "You should sleep with Lan."
"No!"
Luo Xuan refused directly. She dragged Chen Hansheng to another room and closed the door with a bang.
Now, there were only two people in the enclosed space. The hotel was facing a good direction. The transparent floor-to-ceiling window was facing the Oriental Pearl Tower, overlooking the busiest downtown area of Hu City.
However, for some reason, Chen Hansheng inexplicably imagined Luo Xuan taking off her clothes and lying on the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Damn it, I've watched too much AV."
Chen Hansheng cursed in his heart. He picked up the mineral water and was about to drink it.
First, his mouth was really dry. Second, he wanted to take the opportunity to think about how to deal with it.
"Senior Chen."
Luo Xuan reached out and stopped him. "If you're thirsty, don't drink that."
"Then what should I drink?"
Chen Hansheng was puzzled.
"Drink me!"
After Luo Xuan finished speaking, she suddenly tiptoed and covered Chen Hansheng's mouth with her red lips.
This wasn't the first time the two kissed. When they were at the University of Finance and Economics, Chen Hansheng took Luo Xuan through the woods.
But this time, it was strange. Chen Hansheng felt that Luo Xuan's saliva was delicious, especially since she had just drunk iced milk tea. Her saliva was sweet and her tongue was cool. So he unconsciously sucked greedily, as if this could relieve the dryness in his mouth.
The kiss became deeper and deeper. The air in the room was soon filled with a restless atmosphere. After some time, Chen Hansheng suddenly sat up with a long sigh.
At this time, Luo Xuan's jacket was half taken off. The two black lace straps on her shoulders were very attractive against her snow-white skin.
She was also slightly out of breath. At the same time, she was wondering why Chen Hansheng stopped.
Chen Hansheng knew Luo Xuan too well. Unless she could change her overbearing and paranoid character, if something really happened tonight, Luo Xuan might make more outrageous demands.
"Well … I'm already satisfied."
Chen Hansheng said in a joking tone, "I'd better go get another room."
"Senior Chen, how can you be satisfied?"
Luo Xuan sat up on her knees and looked at Chen Hansheng silently. "I drugged the lemon tea. I specially bought Viagra from a regular pharmacy. It's commonly known on the Internet as Viagra. This is also the reason why you're thirsty."
"What?"
Chen Hansheng was stunned for a while and said, "Luo Xuan, what are you doing? I know my body is very attractive, but you can't use this method. Besides, it's not the aphrodisiac. It can only be detoxified when a man and a woman sleep together. I just have to endure it."
"Why do you have to endure it?"
Luo Xuan lost her temper again. She tore off her coat and wore only a set of black underwear. She said stubbornly, "Don't I look good?"
"That's not the reason."
Chen Hansheng turned his head away. He felt that he couldn't control himself anymore.
"Then what's the reason?"
Luo Xuan thought of her father's words in the afternoon and asked softly, "Are you worried that I'll make trouble in front of Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu if you leave any evidence that can be used against you?"
"No."
Chen Hansheng replied against his will.
"Then sleep with me!"
Luo Xuan "threatened" him. "Anyway, we've already done it. Even if you don't sleep with me, I can still say bad things in front of Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu."
"F * ck …"
Chen Hansheng's eyes twitched. He had always been the one who threatened others. No one had ever threatened him, especially when it came to the matter of "sleeping".
However, he still had his concerns. Both of them quieted down in an instant. However, perhaps they forgot to turn on the air conditioner, the dry and hot feeling in the room didn't disappear, especially on Chen Hansheng.
"Senior Chen, do you still know?"
After a long time, Luo Xuan said faintly, "At noon, when you handed me flowers in front of so many people, I said 'thank you', but in fact, I said 'I do' in my heart."
"I do?"
Chen Hansheng instantly understood what she meant. Sunflowers were flowers, and those present were witnesses. Luo Xuan took it as a proposal.
"Why do you have to do this?"
Chen Hansheng's body didn't soften, but his heart had already softened. He looked at Luo Xuan again. His junior sister's eyes were red, but in those cold and paranoid eyes, there was still a kind of stubbornness that said "I won't give up until I achieve my goal".
"Then let's do it."
Chen Hansheng sighed deeply and lay down on the bed. "I'll accept whatever consequences there are. At worst, I'll go through the Asura Field again."
Seeing that Chen Hansheng had "accepted his fate", Luo Xuan revealed a smile as if he had gotten what he wanted, mixed with some hidden sadness.
"Senior Chen, can I turn off the light?"
However, Luo Xuan was still a young girl after all, and she was still very shy in her heart.
"Okay …"
Chen Hansheng was experienced. "I'll turn off the light and leave the table lamp on."
After he turned off the light with a click, the room suddenly darkened. At the same time, there was the sound of elastic restraints being undone.
Chen Hansheng was an old pervert. He knew what this meant, and he couldn't help but gulp heavily.
Two hours later, in the dark room, Luo Xuan suddenly gritted her teeth and said intermittently, "Senior Chen, I want to give birth to a son for you."
Chen Hansheng was silent for a while. "Why don't we get another room? I'm really satisfied now."
"No!"
Luo Xuan fiercely bit Chen Hansheng's neck.
… ….
Luo Xuan's graduation ceremony was on the 8th, and Chen Hansheng returned to Jianye at noon on the 9th. However, in the week after he came back, he was always a little nervous, afraid that his junior sister would do something bad again.
However, to his surprise, Luo Xuan didn't seem to do much, but Chen Hansheng was more uneasy. It was very much like the calm before the storm.
On the 16th of June, Chen Hansheng and the board members of Nutshell Electronics were at the R&D Center, watching Li Xiaokai demonstrate the finished product of Guo San.
This was the final model after several modifications and reworks. It was not only equipped with the ceiling of the domestic machine, but also had a very beautiful style. Li Xiaokai demonstrated the blue and white design, and the back cover was also designed with a China style pattern of a twin lotus flower as requested by Chen Hansheng.
The twin lotus flower was composed of very small light bulbs. Because they were so small, they were connected like golden wires. Every time the machine was turned on, the twin lotus flower would slowly light up, like a pool of water spreading along the ripples. It was very visual.
"Ring ~"
Suddenly, Chen Hansheng's phone rang. It was a call from Luo Xuan.
Chen Hansheng panicked. He was afraid that Luo Xuan would say that she was standing downstairs of Shen Youchu's apartment and that he had to agree to some conditions.
"Hello."
Chen Hansheng held his breath and tried to answer the phone as normal as possible.
"Brother Chen, my parents and I are in Hong Kong."
Luo Xuan said crisply.
"Hong Kong."
Chen Hansheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked curiously, "What are you going to do in Hong Kong?"
"We're going to choose a school."
Luo Xuan said with a smile, "If I study in Hong Kong, I can satisfy my mother's wish, and I won't be too far away from you. This is the result of a long negotiation."
"What?"
Chen Hansheng couldn't help but cry out. He had already prepared himself for the worst case scenario of "the second tragic Asura Arena". He didn't expect Luo Xuan to choose to go to graduate school.
Although it was in Hong Kong, it was better than staying in Jianye.
The executives of the R&D Center were shocked and looked at the big boss. Chen Hansheng waved his hand and motioned for them to continue. He stepped into the corridor and continued to make a phone call.
"Are you surprised?"
Luo Xuan said, "What's more surprising is that I don't plan to learn how to calculate. I'm going to study psychology."
"In order to pry into my heart?"
Chen Hansheng vaguely remembered that he had mentioned "psychiatrist" on the night of the 8th.
"Yes."
Luo Xuan didn't deny it. "I feel that I don't know you well and I can't control my temper. That's why I can't win against Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu. I plan to learn some skills and then go back to Jianye to defeat them."
Chen Hansheng knew that this wasn't the real reason. He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Why don't you stay in Jianye and let me take all the blame?"
Luo Xuan suddenly fell silent. She seemed to be crying and laughing. After she calmed down, she said sullenly, "I know you don't want me to stay now, but I'm still so happy to hear that you want me to stay."
"Silly girl."
Chen Hansheng rubbed the corners of his eyes. "What's there to be happy about?"
"I'm already satisfied."
There was indeed a sense of satisfaction in Luo Xuan's voice. "Senior Brother Chen, I've always been afraid that you were just a daydream, and that you would leave after daybreak. Now, I feel that I still don't understand you. In fact, you've never thought of letting me go, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Hansheng responded firmly.
"Clap, clap, clap ~"
There was a burst of warm applause in the R&D center. It was probably because of Guo San's perfect attribute that the colleagues were celebrating in advance.
However, Chen Hansheng didn't care at all. He just wanted to talk to his junior.
"Senior Chen."
Luo Xuan probably heard the applause too. She guessed that Chen Hansheng must have something to say. After a moment of silence, she said, "When I go to Hong Kong, can you send me there?"
"I …"
Chen Hansheng originally wanted to say "Of course I can", but later changed his mind.
"Junior, I'm willing!"
… ….
(A single sentence of "I do" is not enough to describe little junior sister's infatuation, nor is it enough to describe little junior sister's growth. This is really a very meaningful character. 15000 words long chapter is dedicated. Thank you for your support!)
