Reborn: Billionaire in College
Chapter 570: The aborted blind date
The crisp ring of the doorbell outside the house brought Wan Yuqian back to her senses.
Before she could come to her senses, Wan Huaian had already opened the door and led someone in.
"I can smell the aroma of Moutai as soon as I enter the room. It seems that you, brother-in-law, are planning to knock us all down tonight." Kuang Minghong has gradually shown signs of aging over the years. Although he is still energetic, the white hair on his temples is also conspicuous.
Wan Huaian smiled and hugged his brother-in-law Kuang Minghong's arm affectionately, "No way, I don't know how much you can drink? I slept all afternoon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and you were like nothing happened."
"Haha, I was just in a better mood that day. Come, let me introduce you. This is Professor Sun Junfeng. He is a famous Yale University PhD student. He published three top journals as the first author during his doctoral studies. I had to persuade him to come back."
Only after Kuang Minghong gave up his seat could everyone see Sun Junfeng's appearance clearly.
He wore a pair of black-framed glasses, looked quite decent, and was dressed in a casual plaid suit made of tweed.
"Hello, Director Wan."
Wan Huaian nodded with satisfaction, "Come in quickly, don't stand at the door."
Behind Sun Junfeng, Wan Yuqian's aunt Wan Menglan whispered to him, "No need to change your shoes."
"Yes, don't change your shoes. Our family is sloppy to begin with."
"Uncle and aunt!" Wan Yuqian called out sweetly as a greeting.
Kuang Minghong smiled and nodded, turned around and pulled the somewhat embarrassed Sun Junfeng, while Wan Menglan said, "Yuqian, the La Mer cosmetics you gave me last time are really good, especially the eye cream. Thank you, aunt."
"Hey, what's the big deal? My aunt likes it. I'll get you another set next time."
Soon, after a lively greeting, the two families sat down.
It was not until this time that Wan Yuqian and Sun Junfeng had a real eye contact.
In Wan Yuqian's opinion, Sun Junfeng was no different from those old pedants she had known in school before, either in appearance or temperament.
Having been single for so many years, her uncle Kuang Minghong naturally introduced lecturers or young and promising associate professors in the school to Wan Yuqian, but without exception, Wan Yuqian was not attracted to any of them.
One is that I don’t want or like to have contact with him/her, and the other is that the other person’s temperament is not suitable.
But it's not that she's bad, it's just that Wan Yuqian is a hot-tempered person, and she was playful and playful when she was in school. Although she has restrained herself a lot in recent years because of her high position, she has not changed in her bones. She feels that it is difficult for her to get along with this kind of "nerd".
On the contrary, Chen Pingjiang is very good.
When the two of them got along with each other in the past, they could joke, play around, and chat with each other.
The most important thing is that he is handsome. Not only handsome but also young and promising.
Wan Yuqian shook her head. Why did her mind wander to Chen Pingjiang again? He was such a troublemaker.
But Wan Yuqian's helpless and shy smile fell into the eyes of Sun Junfeng opposite him, and he was immediately shocked by her beauty.
You have to know that Wan Yuqian is not bad looking. Even if she is not as beautiful as Yan Yan, she is still heroic. In addition, she is well-off and has never neglected maintenance for so many years. Her skin is delicate and glowing under the light. Moreover, because she has been in a high position for a long time, the leadership aura condensed on her body makes her look more heroic. In addition, the high-end custom-made dress that she has not had time to change fits her waistline perfectly, showing off the exquisite figure of a mature woman.
To some extent, Wan Yuqian today is like Ge Mengshi yesterday.
The image presented to the outside world is mysterious, aloof and intellectual.
The four elders sitting next to each other saw this and smiled implicitly.
"Knowing you were coming, I specially stewed the ribs for an entire afternoon to see if they taste good. Um... Professor Sun, I'll just call you Xiao Sun. Don't be polite. Just help yourself to whatever you want to eat."
Hearing Liu Yirong calling him, Sun Junfeng came back to his senses and said, "Okay, okay, Auntie."
Twenty minutes passed as they toasted each other. Wan Yuqian pushed the bowl aside and stood up. "Aunt, I'm full and hungry. Professor Sun, you guys take your time eating."
Just as Wan Yuqian was about to rush back to her room, Liu Yirong spoke again: "Xiao Sun has just finished eating, you two can go out for a walk to help digest the food."
Wan Yuqian: “…”
She really wanted to refuse, but after all, she was no longer the willful girl she used to be.
At home he has to give face to his parents and elders.
But why do you want to go out?
Seeing that Wan Yuqian didn't move, Kuang Minghong quickly came to assist: "You young people can't stand the smell of cigarettes, so go out and get some fresh air. It will also give your dad and I some relief. We haven't dared to smoke until now."
Wan Yuqian really wanted to explain herself, saying that she had been in the company for so many years and had been smoked out by Chen Pingjiang a long time ago, so why would she be afraid of the secondhand smoke?
But when he saw that the person who spoke was his brother-in-law Kuang Minghong, he turned around silently.
Apart from other things, her uncle-in-law had always been nice to her. It was he who introduced her to Renren. If it weren't for him, she might not have known Chen Pingjiang.
"Xiao Sun, why are you shy? Boys should take the initiative. If it's cold outside, there is a good coffee shop opposite the community." At this time, Wan Menglan also spoke.
Sun Junfeng nodded, his eyes filled with joy and eagerness: "Then Principal Kuang, elders, I will leave first."
So, under the gaze of everyone, Wan Yuqian dragged her legs reluctantly and accompanied Sun Junfeng out of the door.
Not until the door was tightly closed did the four elders in the room burst into laughter at the same time.
Liu Yirong lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "This Professor Sun looks good, seems honest, and most importantly, he has good talent. I am quite satisfied with him."
Wan Huaian and Kuang Minghong drank a sip of wine and put down their glasses: "What's the use of your satisfaction? You know Qianqian's temper. She has to be satisfied."
My aunt Wan Menglan also joined the chat: "I watched Qianqian grow up. Everything about her is good. She looked lively when she was young, but she has become more and more thoughtful in the past two years and doesn't smile as much as before. What I can't understand the most is that she has such good conditions, she has good looks and a career, but she refuses to date. Logically, there should be many people chasing her, but she doesn't like any of them?"
Kuang Minghong seemed to have thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "I'm not afraid of being looked down upon, I'm just afraid of someone deliberately looking down upon me."
"..."
"?"
"What does Old Kuang mean?" Kuang Minghong sighed, "Maybe I am just imagining things. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but in the past two years, this thought has become stronger and stronger."
"I had intended to bring Qianqian together with one of my students. You've all heard of that man, Chen Pingjiang. But later on, Chen Pingjiang found a date and got married early, so I didn't make any plans. From a girl's perspective, I accompanied Chen Pingjiang in starting a business, taking a small company public, and sharing the joys and sorrows. In addition, Chen is too outstanding. I was worried that Qianqian had someone in her heart. Otherwise, why didn't she find a date or get married for so many years, and deliberately didn't go when she heard about a blind date?"
It would have been better if Kuang Minghong didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, Liu Yirong and Wan Huaian looked at each other and their faces changed.
"What happen to you guys?"
Facing his sister's doubts, Wan Huaian smiled bitterly for a long time: "Although I make this speculation, I'm afraid that things are just as Lao Kuang said. When Chen Pingjiang got married, Qianqian seemed to be unhappy all the time and she talked less when she came home. I didn't think much about it before, but now that you reminded me, it all makes sense."
Liu Yirong also sighed helplessly: "Before she went to work in Shanghai, this girl once called Chen Pingjiang's name in her sleep. At that time, I just thought it was because of the pressure from work. Another time, they took pictures of their colleagues at a dinner party, and I saw Qianqian holding her phone and looking at them repeatedly."
Kuang Minghong: “…”
He coughed twice in succession: "I'm just guessing, don't take it for granted. What if it's not what I think, and what you said is just a coincidence? Besides, this matter involves Chen Pingjiang, it's really hard to say."
Kuang Minghong was a little scared. If he had known, he would not have said such nonsense. He just drank two cups of cat urine.
I just hope it's not true, but if it's really as I guess, it would be fatal.
Chen Pingjiang is a married man with children. How can he get along with Wan Yuqian under such circumstances?
If Chen Pingjiang doesn't respond, Wan Yuqian will be in pain. But if Chen Pingjiang does something irrational, both of them will suffer.
………………
"Ms. Wan, I've heard Principal Kuang talk about the entrepreneurial history of Renren.com. I've also seen it in the school's alumni directory, and people even talk about it frequently in the school forums. I'm sure the process of you starting a business together was very exciting, right? It's hard to imagine that such a large multinational group actually came out of our school." The two of them didn't communicate while riding in the elevator. In the end, Sun Junfeng took the initiative to start a conversation because he was afraid of awkward silence.
This topic is also carefully selected.
After all, after working at Dongcai, I would hear the names of Chen Pingjiang and Renren.com intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that I could not get rid of these names wherever I went, not to mention that they lived in the city of Dongjiang.
But when Wan Yuqian heard this topic, it seemed a little cute and helpless.
A member of the opposite sex who is somewhat interested in you takes the initiative to discuss his "rival in love" in front of you?
It's a bit funny no matter how you look at it.
"Well, at that time I never thought that Renren would be able to grow to its current scale. When I first went there I just planned to find an internship and gain qualifications and work experience. At that time, Renren's office was just a small storefront, quite simple." As she spoke, Wan Yuqian's thoughts drifted back to that summer of that year, the scene when she first met Chen Pingjiang, and then a subtle, undetectable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Sun Junfeng continued to flatter: "I followed Renren when I was studying in the United States and even registered an account. I can be considered to have witnessed the rise of Renren, until it grew to what it is today. I admire you very much."
"Why do you admire me? Everything is just the credit of Mr. Chen. We are his soldiers. We fight wherever he tells us to."
"That's not the way it is said. A hero needs three helpers. Without the help of good employees like you, Chen Pingjiang would not have made it to where he is today, no matter how powerful he is."
Wan Yuqian suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Sun Junfeng deeply.
Of course she could hear the deliberate compliment in Sun Junfeng's words, but she was still a little unhappy.
"Thank you for your affirmation, Professor Sun, but you are not one of us, so you cannot understand our feelings. I am not being modest, I really did not do anything."
Sun Junfeng: "Just call me by my name, don't call me professor, it seems too formal. Haha, it seems that Mr. Chen has a very high opinion in your mind. By the way, what are your hobbies?"
According to people’s stereotype, some people are good at studying, so this person may not have good emotional intelligence.
But in fact, IQ and EQ are often like twin sisters. People with high IQ often have good EQ.
Sun Junfeng is a good example.
He just met Wan Yuqian for the first time, and he was a little restrained because of his admiration for her, but that didn't mean he was stupid.
He wanted to use the success of Renren.com to flatter Wan Yuqian in a subtle way, but he didn't expect Wan Yuqian to refuse the conversation and pushed it to Chen Pingjiang, making it impossible for him to continue the conversation. He had to change the subject.
But Wan Yuqian didn't follow the routine again: "Is sleeping in considered a hobby?"
"Uh... count, right?"
"Then let's sleep in." Wan Yuqian said with the mentality of killing the conversation: "I work so hard every day and have so much pressure. I don't have the leisure and time to read books, travel and exercise. I like to sleep as long as I have time. In the eyes of intellectuals like you, isn't it decadent and a waste of time?"
"Well, that's not the case." After chatting with Wan Yuqian for a few sentences, they still didn't get along, which made Sun Junfeng doubt his life for a while.
He has been in love before, so why is it so hard to find a topic now? Or is it that his way of picking up girls is not working anymore?
There was silence between the two for a while. After a long time, Sun Junfeng mustered up the courage to point to the coffee shop across the street and said, "Are you talking about this coffee shop? Be careful when crossing the road." As he spoke, Sun Junfeng deliberately walked to the other side of Wan Yuqian, facing the direction of the traffic, and stood in front of her like a gentleman.
Unexpectedly, Wan Yuqian stopped and did not intend to continue walking. Instead, she said in a very calm voice: "I drank a lot of soup when I was eating just now. I don't like coffee either. If Professor Sun likes it, you can go and drink it yourself. I'll walk around here. If you get tired later, you can go back first."
"But……"
Wan Yuqian said: "I don't want you to misunderstand, nor do I want my uncle to misunderstand. I feel that it is not a good match. Anyway, I hope you can meet the girl you like. You are a great boy."
Then, Wan Yuqian walked away along the sidewalk amid the constant honking of horns around her.
Sun Junfeng was left alone in the cold wind.
I haven't even said a few words and I'm already being labeled a nice guy?
Hey Hey hey?
Am I bad?
After all, my buddy is a PhD graduate from an Ivy League school, a future talent, and now he is a professor. He doesn't look bad and has a good family.
So rejected?
Sun Junfeng was originally quite confident, but he didn't expect to give up so quickly.
I really feel a little unwilling.
This is really his dish.
A cool and domineering lady with a charming figure, and most importantly, she is rich. Her net worth must be at least tens of billions, right?
How many years of hard work can I save? (End of this chapter)
