"A relative?"

Mao Xiaoqin heard about her son's request on the phone, screened the suitable groups, and quickly provided a candidate.

"How about your uncle's second cousin?"

Mao Xiaoqin said.

"Second cousin?"

Chen Zhu thought hard for a while, but he only had a vague memory.

People like Chen Zhu, who have very good grades, good family conditions, and are only children who grew up in a big city, seem to have average relationships with their relatives in the countryside.

After all, we don’t see each other even once a year. Although I know in my heart that those people are my cousins, in terms of closeness, they are nothing compared to good friends like Huang Baihan and Wang Changhua.

This is not due to contempt or conflicts between the two families, but simply due to lack of familiarity and understanding.

Just like this uncle's second cousin, Chen Zhu often mixes up with another cousin.

"That's Mao Xintong. She used to work as a saleswoman in Longchuan People's Shopping Mall and can also use a computer."

Mao Xiaoqin reminded her, and then said to herself: "The shopping mall was demolished a while ago and what to build... Wanda Plaza, she has been unemployed at home for a while, your uncle asked me and your dad to help introduce jobs

.”

"Then where will she eat and stay when she comes to Guangzhou?"

Chen Zhu asked warily: "It won't be at our house, right?"

Queen Mother Mao did not have the foolish intention of "immersing herself" in favor of her natal nephew, even though she said: "Xiaotong is your sister, so what's wrong with living in our house..."

In fact, I finally told Chen Zhu: "There are many dormitories in your father's workplace that are vacant. It's not a big problem to borrow one."

The environment of the dormitory in the neighborhood office is actually very poor. Chen Zhu has been there several times. It is so shabby that even the lights in the corridor are broken. No one in the official establishment is willing to live there.

But then again, no matter how shabby or dilapidated it is, it is still a safe place to sleep. If Chen Peisong is not the leader of the street office, how can he make arbitrary arrangements?

"Then let the second cousin give it a try."

Chen Zhu said dispensably.

Next, Chen Zhu plans to go to a TV station to discuss cooperation. This may be the most expensive expense on the road to starting a business, so Chen Zhu is well prepared.

Not only did he copy all the company information, but he also transferred all the money in the stock account and the company account together. He also wrote a special letter about the contribution of the Zhongda Learning Network product to society, so he has been working on it for the past two days.

Running around.

After everything was prepared, Chen Zhu planned to go back to the dormitory for a lunch break and take leave in the afternoon to go to the TV station.

Just when I was passing by the school playground, I saw a freshman basketball game being held on the basketball court.

Chen Zhu remembered that this competition started right after returning from the National Day holiday. The departments took turns to compete, and the winners were promoted. The losers were not eliminated immediately and had to compete with other departments in a round-robin double-elimination competition.

Probably because there are too many departments at CUHK. It’s already mid-December, and I didn’t expect that I haven’t finished yet.

Chen Zhu also walked to the edge of the bustling playground to take a look, intending to experience the joy of young college students.

This was the semi-final between the School of Engineering and the School of Computer Science, and Ling School was eliminated early.

It seems that the athletic ability of the boys in Ling Yuan has never been very good. At the beginning, the sports department of Ling Yuan Student Union specially looked for the tall Chen Zhu, hoping that he could participate in the basketball game and bring glory to the department.

Chen Zhu naturally refused. Although his athletic ability was good, he had no time to train every day.

"nice shot!"

After the main player from the Institute of Technology scored a wonderful layup, it immediately aroused a burst of cheers from the surrounding students.

There were more boys watching, but there were also quite a few girls. After all, boys who can play basketball are still very popular in college and have priority in choosing a mate.

"Chen Zhu?"

In the bustling crowd, a voice suddenly called me.

Chen Zhu turned his head, and it was Bian Xiaoliu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

She was wearing a light yellow sweater and two braids hanging on her shoulders. However, because of her delicate and three-dimensional facial features, this retro-style look was not earthy at all on her body, but instead gave her a pure and playful feeling.

"Hello."

Chen Zhu replied politely: "Are you coming to watch the football match too?"

If he hadn't met him by chance, Chen Zhu would have almost forgotten this person.

"I came here with my roommates."

Bian Xiaoliu pointed to a girl next to him who had a bit of buck teeth.

There was probably a male idol with a buck-toothed girl among the players on the field. She didn't notice Chen Zhu at first, and was concentrating on waving and shouting.

Later, when she saw the two people talking next to her, she looked over with curious eyes.

Meeting Chen Zhu unexpectedly, Bian Xiaoliu found that he was a little excited. Although his eyes were looking towards the court, he was secretly looking at him from the corner of his eye.

Chen Zhu was wearing a simple sports sweater. Under the midday winter sun, he had neat short black hair. His profile was sharp and angular. He had a peaceful expression between his eyebrows and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. No wonder Zheng Hao had previously commented that Chen Zhu was a

"Sunny and cheerful big boy".

Occasionally, the flash of depth in his eyes can reveal a man's confidence and calmness.

"Why do you feel that Chen Zhu is becoming more and more attractive?"

Bian Xiaoliu thought in his mind and asked reservedly: "What have you been busy with recently? I can't even see you in the ministry meetings."

Chen Zhu replied casually: "You're just busy working around. You guys have worked hard in the ministry. I'll treat you all to dinner at the end of the year."

Listening to such a business-like and hypocritical response, Bian Xiaoliu curled his lips and seemed to be dissatisfied. If you want to invite me, please invite me alone. What do you mean by inviting everyone?

Just when he was about to continue talking, he heard a sharp whistle from the basketball court. It turned out that someone committed a foul and the game was suspended.

Chen Zhu didn't want to wait any longer, waved his hand and said, "I have something to do and I'll leave first."

"ah?"

Bian Xiaoliu suddenly felt a little anxious. He didn't know how often he would see Chen Zhu in school. Although he didn't know what to talk about with Chen Zhu, he just wanted to talk to him more.

But he had no reason or identity to keep him. Bian Xiaoliu couldn't help but stamp his feet, annoyed that the game was suspended at the wrong time.

"Who is this?"

The buck-toothed girl asked. She felt that Bian Xiaoliu's reaction to that boy was a little different.

"Chen Zhu."

Bian Xiaoliu sighed and said with great melancholy.

"Ah? He is Chen Zhu of Lingyuan?"

The buck-toothed sister looked at Chen Zhu's back in surprise.

Chen Zhu has a good reputation in the school, but except for the few classes in the Ling Academy, few students from other departments have seen him.

In the final analysis, he is relatively low-key and rarely participates in public activities or competitions on campus, so many people have the impression that "I know there is a guy named Chen Zhu in my grade who is awesome, but I really don't know what he looks like."

.

"I thought Chen Zu was the kind of boy who wore a neat suit and looked like a father."

The buck-toothed girl said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect him to be quite handsome, and his smile looks very boyish. How did you get to know him?"

"He and I were classmates in junior high school!"

Bian Xiaoliu said with some complacency.

"It turns out I'm an old classmate. I've never heard of you talking about it before."

The buck-toothed sister couldn't help but start gossiping: "With your relationship, you must know who Chen Zhu's girlfriend is, right? He revealed it in an interview. I saw rumors on the forum that he has a good relationship with the school beauty Song."

A cold and cold figure appeared in Bian Xiaoliu's mind. She couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and replied stiffly: "Who knows, Chen Zhu might just talk about it casually! Besides..."

Bian Xiaoliu paused for a moment, and then, prompted by an impulsive and dissatisfied thought, he continued: "So what if I have a girlfriend? Chen Zhu also liked me when he was in junior high school, but now we are almost strangers."

"Holy crap, is it really true?"

Hearing such a piece of gossip, the buck-toothed girl was so excited that she even stopped watching the male idol's football game.

She admitted that her roommate Bian Xiaoliu was somewhat pretty, but compared to Song Shiwei, she was far behind.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Song school beauty would actually take over the second-hand man Xiaoliu used?

"What are you lying to?"

Looking at his roommate's shocked eyes, Bian Xiaoliu felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

She tried her best to describe it in a nonchalant tone: "Chen Zhu and I are both from No. 16 Middle School. We have been classmates for three years. The whole class knows that he likes me..."

Bian Xiaoliu told Chen Zhu some past events in junior high school. It turned out that she was just making up nonsense to help her face, and she was still a little uneasy.

But as she talked about it, she suddenly felt that because of Chen's behavior in junior high school, he might have actually liked her.

Otherwise, why would he help when moving the table? Why would he borrow it when he didn’t bring any books? Why would he patiently explain the math questions when he didn’t know how?

At the end of the story, not only did the buck-toothed girl believe it, but even Bian Xiaoliu felt that it was the same, and sighed sadly: "But this is all in the past. Now he is a famous entrepreneurial star in the school, and I am just a

An ordinary pretty little girl."

"Why does your tone sound like Chen Zhu is a scumbag?"

The buck-toothed sister said with a smile.

"Aren't all men like that? It's us girls who suffer when we fall in love."

Bian Xiaoliu gently pushed her hair behind her ears, like Lin Daiyu.

"A sneeze! A sneeze!"

As Chen Zhu was getting ready for his lunch break, he couldn't help but think about who was speaking ill of him behind his back.
