February 7, 2008, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

For people like Chen Zhu who celebrate the New Year at home, everything seems a bit dull. Maybe most Chinese people are like this. The excitement of the New Year's Eve is much greater than that of the New Year's Day.

"Happy New Year, Mom! I wish you success in your work and good health in the new year~"

When Chen Zhu came out of the bedroom, he saw Mao Xiaoqin for the first time and said hello with a smile.

"Happy New Year, I wish our Mr. Chen a happy New Year."

Queen Mother Mao also responded lively.

When I met Lao Chen next, Chen Zhu also sent his blessings and helped him steam rice cakes in the kitchen.

His cheerful, filial and gentle demeanor could not be compared to the cold and domineering appearance he had when he participated in the "cosplay party" last night and acted as the master of the breast-trembling sister.

Therefore, people like Chen Chu are the legendary hypocrites who use "beautiful clothes" to cover up "false darkness".

When the vegetarian dishes and rice cakes were ready and served, Chen Zuo ate a bowl with his parents. In fact, he had not liked eating these since he was a child.

I heard that on the first day of the new year in the north, there are hot pork dumplings and sesame glutinous rice balls, as well as some leftover meat dishes from the New Year's Eve, such as pig skin jelly dipped in vinegar.

Thinking about it, it is much more fragrant than vegetarian food.

After finally finishing eating, Chen Peisong and Mao Xiaoqin each took out a red envelope.

Chen Zhu happily took it, "Good guy, it's as thin as a piece of paper."

Because there is really only one hundred-yuan note inside.

This is the rule for New Year's money in Guangdong. In fact, in terms of amount, it cannot be called New Year's money, but "profit".

The younger generation who are unemployed and unmarried do not need to give it to their elders. The elders give the younger generation a "profit distribution", and the amount is very, very small compared to the north.

Close relatives (sons and daughters), 100 yuan.

Nephews (nephews and nieces), 50 yuan.

Additional relatives (aunts, nephews, nieces), 20 yuan.

Ordinary relatives (within five servers), 10 yuan.

Junior neighbors and unmarried colleagues, 5 yuan.

I remember when Chen Zhugang was working, because it was a large organization, he would receive more than 300 red envelopes every year.

But I couldn’t afford to even buy a Xiaomi phone after tearing it all apart, because some leaders only gave me one yuan in profit.

However, these amounts are not rigid rules and are generally "broken" by the third generation.

For example, if Chen Zhu has a baby, Chen Peisong and Mao Xiaoqin will make sure they stuff the red envelopes with hundreds of yuan bills to look like they are pregnant.

I came here like this on the morning of the first day of the new year, because Song Shiwei had not returned from Zhuhai, and Yu Xian was also taking care of his relatives in his hometown.

So when Lao Chen went to the office to clock in, Chen Zhu simply went shopping with his mother again.

Empress Dowager Mao couldn't help but joke that after giving the money, the service was really different.

…

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in Guangzhou, there are actually only a few interesting places.

The first, of course, is the flower markets in each district, where the bustle and bustle from last night continue;

The second is shopping malls or pedestrian streets, such as Zhengjia, Teemall, Shangxiajiu and Capital Road, which are also places where people gather.

The third is a place with a bit of history or cultural heritage, such as Yongqingfang or Lingnan Impression Park.

Chen Zhu and his family went to the flower market last night. Mao Xiaoqin didn't really want to go shopping, so the mother and son went to Yongqingfang.

It happened to be relatively close to the street where Lao Chen worked, so the family could have a meal outside at noon.

Yongqingfang is located in Liwan. It is said that it was already a lively market in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, based on the previous work, a 5A-level tourist attraction integrating culture, entertainment, social functions and other functions has been built.

In fact, Chen Zhu feels that this 5A is a bit watered down, mainly because there are not many places of interest in Guangzhou, so he just used his money to create an iconic attraction.

A city leader who was later arrested once shouted during a meeting that Yongqingfang should be compared with the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. He was really a fool who did not understand the positioning of the city.

However, there are still a lot of people here on the first day of the new year.

Red lanterns and five-star red flags are hung high everywhere. Typical Cantonese-style building "arcades" stand in an orderly manner on both sides of the road. A red bridge connects the two sides of the clean Lychee Bay, and the flowers on the shore are colorful.

"Come and take a look at the freshly baked double-skinned milk and handmade cattail fans. It's a century-old sweet shop..."

Walking on the granite road of Yongqingfang, you can hear shouts all the time.

It cannot attract locals like Chen Zhu, but it is enough to give foreign tourists a little shock of Lingnan culture.

Dr. Mao probably hasn't been here for a long time because he is busy with work, and he enjoys admiring the novel gadgets.

Especially in front of the art museum in Yongqingfangli, a group of Cantonese opera performing artists were singing opera, accompanied by dragon and lion dance performances. The area was surrounded by people on the inside and outside.

There are also many TV stations, newspapers and other media shooting and shooting for tonight's news.

Chen Zhu can help them think of a title:

With the new year and new atmosphere, Yongqingfang will rekindle the light of a century-old culture in the new era!

Chen Zhu was thinking proudly when he turned around and realized that his mother had been left behind.

She stopped and stood in front of the stage, looking fascinated.

"Mom, I remember you didn't like this babbling tone before."

Chen Zhu fell back and asked with a smile.

"I didn't watch the show."

Mao Xiaoqin shook her head and said, "I'm looking at people."

"Who?"

Chen Zhu asked curiously.

"The reporter who was interviewing..."

Mao Xiaoqin asked a little uncertainly: "Is it Deng Zhi?"

"Sister Zhizhi?"

Chen Zhu turned his head.

Ouch! It’s really her!

She was wearing an apricot-colored knitted cardigan sweater and a pair of slightly loose jeans. She was about 167cm tall and wore a pair of three-centimeter business polished leather shoes.

If you don't have a model-level figure like Song Shiwei or Yu Xian, you would already be considered "outstanding" among women in the south.

The sleeves were neatly rolled up in half, revealing the white forearms, bright red lips, fair skin, and the shiny diamond earrings, although not big, were hidden under the short hair and shone brightly, just like picking stars off and pinning them to ears.

She still has the aggressive style of a strong woman. Even during interviews, her eyes are fixed on the interviewee.

When has that young man in his 20s been stared at by a beauty of this level? When answering questions, his body always twists and turns uncontrollably.

His eyes accidentally wandered to the erect and elegant breasts under the sweater, and he quickly looked away with a blushing face.

But after a while, I can't help but take a quick look again.

After finally waiting until the interview was over, the young man left as if running away.

At this time, Deng Zhicai tugged on his collar expressionlessly.

The top button of the sweater is obviously buttoned up, but I don’t know what’s so good about it!

However, it is common to encounter these situations when interviewing outside. For the sake of work, Deng Zhi will automatically ignore these innocuous problems.

"It's her."

Chen Zhu gave an affirmative answer and then asked: "Mom, when was the last time you saw Sister Zhizhi?"

"I usually talk to your dad, but it was a long time ago that we met."

Mao Xiaoqin sighed and said: "When your uncle Deng Guangrong passed away, your father and I met several times. She was still in college at that time, and we didn't have much chance to meet her later."

Modern society is like this. Even if you are blood relatives, if you don't move around frequently, you may not have much contact.

Chen Peisong and Deng Zhi's father, Deng Guangrong, were colleagues more than ten years ago. Later, Chen Peisong was transferred to other places. Although the two families had contact, they were not frequent.

When Deng Guangrong passed away, Mr. and Mrs. Chen remembered their old friendship and worked hard with a group of colleagues to help, and the two families finally resumed contact.

At that time, Chen Zhu was in the third grade of junior high school and it was the critical moment for the high school entrance examination. He didn't even know about it.

It can even be said that if he had not chosen to start a business after being reborn and needed to use the power of media propaganda, Chen Zhu and Deng Zhi might not have had a deep intersection in this life.

"Later on, Sister Zhizhi took the initiative to help me, maybe just for the sake of you and my dad."

Chen Zhu nodded slightly and said.

"I see that you, Sister Zhizhi, are older than Sister Zhizhi, and the calls you make are quite affectionate."

Mao Xiaoqin suddenly looked at her son suspiciously: "I heard from your father that you guys are also in touch in private."

When Chen Zhu was still a runny-nosed little kid, Peipiandian followed Deng Zhi to marry someone else.

It was just a childish remark, but no one took it seriously.

However, given that Comrade Chen Zhu has made serious mistakes in the relationship between men and women, and coupled with Deng Zhi's current figure and appearance, he feels that he is not far worse than Xiao Yu and Xiao Song.

Empress Dowager Mao felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"mom!"

Chen Zhu was so smart that he immediately understood what was going on and immediately shouted that he was wronged.

"The relationship between me and Sister Zhizhi is purely brother and sister, and she is very busy. I have wanted to invite her to dinner several times to express my gratitude, but she has never been free."

This is true. Chen Zhu has been wanting to ask Deng Zhi out for a meal since New Year's Day this year.

After all, she was also a noble person who helped the company a lot back in its inception.

There is no reason to give shopping cards to Yang Guang and others, but Deng Zhi was left out.

It's a pity that she was too busy. She had reserved the table many times, but she suddenly had something to do and couldn't come. As a result, she hasn't had the meal until now.

Looking at the way she came out for interviews today on the first day of the new year, I guess her previous busyness was really not a rejection.

"As long as you know what's going on."

Empress Dowager Mao only reminded her and did not go into details.

Deng Zhi is several years older than her son, so Chen Zhu is probably just a child to her, and there should be no possibility of her developing feelings for him.

"Then do we still want to say hello?"

Chen Zhu asked.

"Of course."

Mao Xiaoqin rolled her eyes at her son: "This girl has to go to work during the Chinese New Year. I must ask about the specific situation and whether she is being excluded in the workplace..."

"Dr. Mao is full of love~"

Chen Zhu shrugged his shoulders, feeling a little guilty at the same time.

My mother's character has all the characteristics of a "good Chinese mother-in-law". It's a pity that her wish was not realized in her previous life.

…

"We will interview a few more tourists to enrich the content of the manuscript."

Over at Deng Zhi, she was communicating with her assistant like this.

"Gardenia!"

Suddenly I heard someone calling me.

And he still calls me by his nickname, so it should be a relatively close relationship.

Deng Zhi turned his head and looked over. He was stunned for a moment, and then his face was like a lotus blooming on the gauze, covering up the strength and seriousness at work.

She took the initiative to go up and say hello: "Aunt Mao, Chen Zhu, happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, our gardenia is getting more and more beautiful."

Mao Xiaoqin said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to still recognize me after not seeing me for several years."

In fact, Chen Zhu was standing nearby, and the mother and son were quite similar, so anyone who wasn't blind could guess their identities immediately.

However, Deng Zhi has been working for several years and is still a middle-level leader in the newspaper office. She responded with emotional intelligence: "Because Auntie's appearance has not changed, so I can recognize her at a glance."

"Hahaha, actually there are a lot of crow's feet coming out of the corners of my eyes."

As long as a middle-aged woman hears compliments about her youth, she will be very happy even if it is a lie. Empress Dowager Mao took out a red packet from her bag and handed it to her.

"Thank you, aunt!"

Deng Zhi was not polite. According to custom, the amount in the red envelope was not very large.

"Gardenia."

At this time, Mao Xiaoqin asked: "Why do you have to come out for interviews on the first day of the new year? You are a girl and you should spend more time with your mother at home."

Deng Zhi's expression didn't change much, and she replied in a relaxed tone: "My mother has returned to her hometown in Chaoshan."

"Um?"

Even though Mao Xiaoqin was not a young man, he frowned when he heard this answer: "Then you spent the Spring Festival alone this year?"

"Yes, that's why I took the initiative to apply for duty."

Deng Zhi nodded and replied.

Mao Xiaoqin's eyes moved. Normally, if mother and daughter depend on each other, they should spend important festivals like the Spring Festival together.

"Is there something going on?"

However, the assistant was always with him, and Mao Xiaoqin did not directly ask for the specific reason.

She thought for a moment and said, "Zhizhi, are you free at noon? We haven't had dinner together for a long time. Auntie remembers that you used to love eggplant stew."

"At noon..."

There may be other tasks in Deng Zhi's plan.

However, Mao Xiaoqin is an elder. She can refuse Chen Zhu's dinner, but it is not convenient for her to refuse Mao Xiaoqin's invitation.

"I want to interview two more people later. Auntie, do you think this is okay?"

Deng Zhi lowered her head slightly and smoothed back her shiny golden short hair, revealing even more shining diamond earrings.

"The Cantonese opera is coming to an end soon, but there are still performances at Luang Yu Tang. Auntie, you can go there and have a look. I will come over to you immediately after I finish my work at noon.

Deng Zhi looked at Mao Xiaoqin and asked, "Do you think this is okay?"

"Of course it's no problem. This place is also relatively close to your Uncle Chen's work. Let him come over when the time comes."

Mao Xiaoqin responded, but was surprised inside.

This girl Zhizhi has such a strong style.

This arrangement of hers is obviously a subconscious behavior. It may be a habit brought out from work, so that everything around her is under her control.

"When I was in college, I looked quite quiet..."

The shock in Mao Xiaoqin's heart lasted until she watched the performance in Luanyutang, and she was still asking Chen Zhu:

"Your dad just said that Zhizhi was the deputy editor of the column at a very young age. He didn't expect that things were arranged in such an orderly manner. When you came into contact with her, was she also so aura?"

"I don't usually do that when we get along."

Chen Zhu recalled, "But when it comes to work, he becomes particularly serious and pragmatic."

"That's okay."

Mao Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm just passionate about my work."

"but……"

Chen Zhu hadn't finished speaking just now: "I feel that in Sister Zhizhi's life, work takes up at least 90% of her time and energy."

"No way!"

Mao Xiaoqin said in surprise: "How can anyone like to do things so much?"

Chen Zhu didn't waste any time. He took out his phone and opened Deng Zhi's QQ space. There were some statuses she had posted.

February 7, 2008:

Happy New Year! Good luck with your work in the new year!

February 1, 2008:

The weather is a bit cloudy, perfect for meetings.

January 22, 2008:

It was raining in the middle of the night, and I had coffee with me while I was reviewing the manuscript.

January 10, 2008:

At the annual meeting, everyone is in good condition, let’s work hard together!

…

First of all, it can be seen from here that Deng Zhi, like all girls, occasionally records essays and insights in life.

Now that there are no Weibo and WeChat, QQ assumes this function.

The second thing that can be seen is that there seems to be no other content in her essays, almost all of them are related to work.

"Mom, look at these logs and moments."

Chen Zhu said: "All I think about is work. Obviously Sister Zhizhi is a career-oriented woman, so it is understandable that she is a bit strong."

"Tsk~"

Mao Xiaoqin returned the phone and said with emotion: "It seems like this is really the case."

"It's actually very difficult for this kind of girl to fall in love."

Chen Zhu added his own evaluation: "A boy must be better than her. Only if there is something in him that she admires can we get together."

"Yeah?"

Mao Xiaoqin turned back and watched the performance, and asked unintentionally: "What kind of QQ moments do other girls post?"

"A lot."

Affected by the lively surrounding environment, Chen Zuo was also quite lively and chatty.

"Some people like to post photos of eating, drinking, having fun and traveling around. If you don't have any financial strength, don't chase girls like this."

"Some people like to talk about philosophy, history and Zen theory. I guess only a man with some knowledge and culture can match them."

"If the post is from some celebrity idols, then handsome boys will probably have a chance."

"If you often send out NBA or La Liga and Championship stars, this is a model suitable for sports students."

…

"Nowadays, some boys see a girl and are ready to pursue her just because she is handsome or has a good temperament, without even thinking about whether she is suitable or not."

When Chen Zhu said this, he sighed quietly.

"In the end, either we couldn't pursue each other, or we spent a lot of effort pursuing each other and ended up breaking up in the end."

"These are all a waste of time. Anyway, I will definitely not be tempted by a girl like Sister Zhizhi, because she is not suitable."

Chen Zhu kept talking and didn't notice the strange look his mother gave him.

"Chen Zhu, when did you suddenly understand love so well?"

Dr. Mao couldn't help but ask.

"Cough~"

Chen Zhu coughed dryly and explained calmly: "Experience gained in practice."

"Smelly boy..."

Queen Mother Mao is so angry.

If it weren’t for the Chinese New Year, I really wanted to give my son a brain-destroying blow, as if he was proud of having had emotional entanglements with two beautiful girls!

But it's not that there is no good news. Through Chen Zhu's self-report, at least there is no need to worry about any mistakes between him and Deng Zhi.

"Then let me ask you."

Mao Xiaoqin asked with a sullen face: "What is recorded in Xiao Yu's QQ status?"

It seems that the "mother-in-law" intends to deepen her understanding of the "daughter-in-law" through some details.

Chen Zhu glanced at his mother: "Me."

"What?"

Mao Xiaoqin didn't understand at first.

"Basically it's all about me, watching movies, eating, and even bickering."

Chen Zhu said with some pride.

Mao Xiaoqin opened her mouth, but suddenly she didn't know what to say.

He simply patted his son on the back and said angrily: "It's almost o'clock, hurry up and find a place to have lunch."

…

The place for lunch was chosen at a restaurant that specializes in soup.

In fact, according to Chen Zhu's idea, since he planned to chat with Deng Zhi at noon, he should choose a nearby Western restaurant.

But Empress Dowager Mao refused. She felt that spring was coming and the weather was a bit dry. She wanted to drink a bowl of pear, olive and pork soup to moisten her lungs.

This is how Cantonese people pay attention to health preservation. They will always have endless amounts of toxins to be eliminated, endless fire to be raised, endless dampness to be removed, and endless amounts of qi and blood to be replenished.

Not long after, Chen Peisong, who received the news, rushed over earlier, but Deng Zhi was still busy interviewing in Yongqingfang.

When Lao Chen heard his wife talk about Deng Zhi's situation, he was just surprised that mother and daughter did not celebrate the New Year together.

But Chen Peisong was not surprised by Deng Zhi's work-obsessed behavior.

“Isn’t it the same for old Deng back then?”

Chen Peisong took a sip of tea and said with a nostalgic tone: "He worked hard and was very energetic. Later we all said that Lao Deng was exhausted to death."

"So, Zhizhi was influenced by her father?"

Mao Xiaoqin felt that this explanation made sense.

"Maybe."

Chen Peisong also sounded a little disappointed: "After all, our work will never be finished."

Chen Zhushen thought so.

The work within the system is never finished. After I finished writing the summary, I remembered that there was a survey over there. After the survey, there was an inspection, and after the inspection, there was another review...

What to do?

You can only do the most important thing at the moment!

Just like the police handling cases, it is impossible to solve all cases. They can only focus on the most vicious social cases such as "homicide" first.

The key is that it doesn't matter if you can't finish the work, some leaders are also disgusting.

During the meeting, salary is not discussed in every word, dedication is discussed in every detail, realm is discussed in everything, and structure is discussed in every word. However, when achievements are made, they start to compete for credit.

Thinking of the fact that there was a current deputy division level cadre, a business doctor, and a former provincial deputy division chief at the table, they all fell silent.

It wasn't until Deng Zhi hurried over that the atmosphere became more lively.

"Gardenia."

Mao Xiaoqin handed over a spoon and said kindly: "You must be dry after interviewing all morning. Drink some soup to clear your throat."

"Thank you, auntie."

Deng Zhi sat down and said hello to Chen Peisong again: "Happy New Year, uncle."

According to custom, Lao Chen also handed over a symbolic red packet of red envelopes.

He and Deng Zhi need to be familiar with each other, because the Yangcheng Evening News once interviewed the parties involved in a news story with the assistance of Luhu Street.

The four of them didn't talk much while drinking soup.

Lao Chen and Mao Xiaoqin are middle-aged people who pay attention to health care, so they scoop out food very slowly.

Chen Zhu doesn't like to drink soup very much, so he drinks it more evenly.

Only Deng Zhi, her frequency is obviously faster.

His eyebrows were lowered and his arms were moving up and down, as if he had to seize the time and many things needed to be solved urgently.

Mao Xiaoqin looked a little distressed and couldn't help but stop and ask: "Zhizhi, why don't you go back to your hometown with your mother to celebrate the New Year? Is there something wrong that happened to me alone in Guangzhou?"

If it were anyone else, this might be too straightforward.

But Deng Zhi was the child she and Lao Chen watched grow up, so even Chen Peisong didn't think there was anything wrong with asking like this.

"I……"

Deng Zhi probably guessed that this scene would happen during the meal, but he saw the sincere concern in the eyes of his uncle and aunt.

Deng Zhi hesitated for a moment, and although she was a little embarrassed, she still said truthfully: "We will have to go on a blind date when we return to our hometown."

"Blind date?"

Mao Xiaoqin and Chen Peisong looked at each other. Is there anything wrong with this?

"Zhizhi, I remember you are seven years older than Chen Zhu. Chen Zhu is nineteen this year, and you are twenty-six."

Mao Xiaoqin continued: "I'm two years old over there in Chaoshan, so I'm twenty-eight, and it's time for a blind date."

Chen Zhu didn't know why the Chaoshan people were pretending to be two years old, as if they were deliberately trying to scare these unmarried young people.

Obviously today is the first day of my 26th year, but I felt a bit "foolish" in the end, feeling that I am not far away from turning 30.

"But aunt..."

A wry smile appeared on Deng Zhi's pretty face, as if she was facing her incomprehensible mother again.

"I don't want to get married now, and I actually have no interest in this matter in the future."

Deng Zhi gently put down the spoon and said something that shocked Queen Mother Mao.

"What?"

Now even Lao Chen couldn't sit still. Although he had business dealings with Deng Zhi, he didn't know that his old friend's daughter actually had such "rebellious" thoughts.

"Are you dissatisfied with the young men around you?"

Chen Peisong guessed: "So there is no expectation of marriage?"

If this is the case, he has many young civil servants with "promising futures" to introduce.

Deng Zhi shook his head.

"Did you suffer from emotional injuries before?"

Mao Xiaoqin put forward another hypothesis: "That's why I'm afraid of marriage now."

Deng Zhi continued to deny.

"Is getting married not in Sister Zhizhi's life plan?"

Chen Zhu said suddenly.

Deng Zhi's already bright eyes suddenly lit up.

The previous exchanges between her and Chen Zhu were basically on topics such as "entrepreneurship of college students, stocks, and the CUHK Learning Network", and there was no time to talk about personal emotional matters.

Unexpectedly, this little brother who has been clamoring to marry me since he was a child would actually hit the mark.

"Uncle and aunt, I have always felt that the meaning of life is not entirely about getting married and having children."

Deng Zhi didn't want to argue with her elders. She had probably argued with her mother many times at home.

She just said firmly: "Now I can pursue what I want to do without any drag or burden. I can work overtime as much as I want and stay up late as I want without worrying about affecting another person."

"What happens next?"

Mao Xiaoqin asked blurtly.

This seems to be the first reason that pops into the minds of all the middle-aged and older people when they hear that the younger generation does not want to get married and start a family.

"What will you do when you get old?"

Mao Xiaoqin advised: "When your mother and I pass away, you will have no blood relatives in the world, and you will often feel lonely."

"I can fill it with work. Just like today, everyone is celebrating the New Year, so I will take on the interviewing work."

Deng Zhi replied jokingly.

Then his expression condensed and he said with some seriousness: "Auntie, [unmarried and infertile] and [loneliness] should be two different concepts. To me, loneliness should mean that no one can understand me."

"Who can understand this! Freedom?"

Chen Peisong sounded a bit like a sincere persuasion: "There is no absolute freedom in the world. Freedom is relative. The stray cats in the alley seem to be free, but they have no home!"

Lao Chen can be regarded as a well-informed leading cadre.

But vision is also limited by the times.

After all, in the next twenty years, "without marriage and childbirth" will not be mainstream, but it will become an accepted choice.

Chen Zhu has been reborn and is very tolerant of such things.

In addition, he also wanted to smooth things over. This was not a debate, and there was no need for one side to overwhelm the other.

"Sister Zhizhi's idea is not a big problem, right?"

Chen Zhu said with a smile: "Whether they are getting married or not, they all have reasons for their choice."

"You say the cat in the alley is free but has no home, but I think the dog in the yard has a home, but he has to keep his head down for the rest of his life."

Chen Zhu spread his hands and said, "So there is no need to persuade anyone, as long as you feel it is right."

"Chen Zhu..."

Deng Zhi was surprised and happy that few people could agree with his idea.

Even if they were once good friends and besties, they were all on the "right path" of dating, getting married, and having children.

I still struggle alone in the workplace and enjoy the sense of control and accomplishment that can only be experienced at work.

But also because of different life choices, there are fewer and fewer topics between them, and their relationship is getting weaker and weaker.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhu could actually understand that those who become famous at a young age must be inferior to ordinary people.

Lao Chen was refuted by his son, but he still waved his hand in disapproval: "People can't make decisions only from their own perspective. Maybe your mother really wants to have a grandson."

At this time, the waiter started to serve dishes, such as soy sauce chicken, crab roe tofu, eggplant stew... etc. Anyway, they are all common Cantonese dishes that are neither spicy nor spicy.

While Mao Xiaoqin put a chicken leg on Deng Zhi, she also said: "Zhi Zhi, your appearance is so excellent, it would be a pity not to have children."

"mom."

Chen Zhu started to "make trouble" again. Perhaps in the eyes of Lao Chen and Mao Xiaoqin, his son's help in talking to Deng Zhi was just making trouble.

"When it comes to social issues, there is actually no priority between the personal development level and the reproductive level."

Chen Zhu said seriously: "Besides, the prerequisite for having a child is that you must first prove that life is happy! If Sister Zhizhi feels unhappy, what motivation will she have to give birth?"

Deng Zhi looked at Chen Zhu in disbelief again.

He not only [understood], but probably [agreed], otherwise why would every word be so accurate?

Only people who are unmarried and infertile at heart can have this kind of view.

At this time, Chen Peirong and Mao Xiaoqin were no longer calm, because they were also aware of this possibility.

Dr. Mao was even visibly panicked. She only had this one son, so she wouldn't do this to Mommy, right?

Halfway through the meal, Deng Zhi stopped Chen Peisong, who was about to check out, and ran to the front desk first.

Since the meal didn't cost much, Lao Chen didn't fight too much.

Mao Xiaoqin knocked on the table with her knuckles, stared at her son and asked, "Chen Zhu, you have been speaking for Zhizhi, don't you also agree with this philosophy?"

"I?"

Chen Zhu couldn't help but laugh. I'm just worried that you are all saying that this meal is too depressing, and someone must come out and make a fool of himself.

However, seeing his parents' rare serious expressions, Chen Zhu quickly clarified: "You have misunderstood. I will never imitate Sister Zhizhi."

Chen Zhulian used three "absolutes" to express his irreconcilable stance against "non-marriage and childlessness".

"and!"

Chen Zhu also specifically said: "I still want to complete these major things early and enjoy the life state of [the boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains]."

In Chen Zhu's previous life, he was delayed by work and did not get married and have children in his 30s.

When my parents were walking downstairs, they saw the envious eyes of those chubby children, and they would never forget them even if they were born again.

Can you make this kind of mistake again in this life?

Chen Peisong and Mao Xiaoqin felt relieved after hearing their son's solemn assurance.

Deng Zhi could only persuade.

But if Chen Zhu dares to have such an idea, they can do it.

"That's good."

Old Chen nodded and said, "I've seen it all at a glance. Your mother's department doesn't have much of a future. Now that all the attention is on you, you can't be so busy starting a business..."

While he was talking, Deng Zhi came back after paying the bill. Hearing the word "start a business", he thought he was talking about Chen Zhu's company.

"Chen Zhu, although I haven't interviewed you recently, I have been paying attention to the CUHK Learning Network."

Deng Zhi said immediately.

Anyway, as long as we talk about work-related matters, this woman's temperament is completely different, and even her earrings shine brighter than before.

Next, Deng Zhi wanted to know about the retroactive development in the past two months.

How would you know if you don't know if you don't ask? If you ask, you will be shocked.

It turns out that backtracking is no longer limited to tutoring websites. It has also entered the gaming industry and plans to develop mobile applications.

In fact, there are also real estate-related businesses going back, and there are also plans to enter movie theater chains.

It's just that these things are too sensitive, and Chen Zhu didn't dare to speak out because he was worried that his parents wouldn't be able to accept them for a while.

But these were enough to make Deng Zhi, who is extremely sensitive to news, feel that a big plan might be brewing in retrospect.

Even in the noisy hotel, she took out her pen and notebook and interviewed Chen Zhu to learn about the detailed development and future prospects of the project.

Chen Zhu had no choice but to satisfy the demands of the workaholic.

Chen Peisong had to go to the office for duty in the afternoon, and Mao Xiaoqin also had to take a lunch break, so they left first, leaving only Chen Zhu and Deng Zhi answering questions.

About an hour later, after several pots of tea were refilled on the table, Deng Zhi closed the book with satisfaction.

"It seems that when you started to create a learning network, you only used it as a springboard."

Deng Zhi also habitually tucks her short hair behind her ears, because when she got closer unknowingly during the interview, Chen Zhu could not only smell a quiet fragrance, but also see the small piercings on her crystal clear earlobes.

In reality, apart from Yu Xian and Song Shiwei, this should be the most beautiful woman Chen Zhu has ever seen.

Moreover, Deng Zhi has short hair, small and three-dimensional facial features, a capable and strong personality, and a slightly mature and sexy figure. The combination creates a special style and charm.

"Short hair Gui Lunmei, there's nothing wrong with it."

Chen Zhu said quietly in his heart.

"It's not just a springboard, it should be a business card."

After admiring other people's looks, Chen Zhu corrected himself and said: "College students and the IT industry... let's not talk about the level of the website, but these labels put me into the category of high-tech industry."

"sharp!"

Deng Zhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, his eyes flashing with admiration.

This is the current hot industry, and this industry is somewhat "exclusive", and traditional industries cannot squeeze in at all.

Even if you squeeze in, when people look at your resume:

I didn't graduate from high school and was born in clothing or mineral water production. I won't let you play with me at all.

Chen Zhu, a graduate of a top prestigious school, was a website developer when he started his business. When these buffs are added up, it is easy for him to be regarded as one of the "ones" in the technology circle.

Recall that when I interviewed Chen Zhu before, he proposed a very imaginative term like "entrepreneur IP". Now it seems that he is moving towards this goal step by step.

"Retrospective is a very malleable enterprise, and you are also a very followable topical figure!"

Deng Zhi used her professionalism to give a very accurate evaluation that cannot be seen now, but will be verified in a few months.

"No, no."

However, Chen Chu is as modest as ever: "There are so many small businesses like ours in the country. If we want to develop further, we need support from all aspects, especially the media."

"Don't worry! You have the elements that our media loves."

Deng Zhi first offered words of encouragement: "Whenever new products are released in the future, I will publish this interview together to increase the topic."

"Thank you, Sister Zhizhi."

Chen expressed his polite thanks.

Back in the day, there was money to buy advertising, but the level and quality of exclusive interviews was a little higher.

"You're welcome, it's a win-win situation, and our newspapers will also get page views."

Deng Zhi paused for a moment and then changed the topic to personal matters.

"Has your view of neither marriage nor love been carefully considered?"

Deng Zhi, a woman who did not want to get married, turned around and advised: "Uncle and aunt only have one child, so don't be too willful in your marriage and love."

"ah?"

Chen Zhu blinked and realized that Deng Zhi might have misunderstood him because of his parents, just like his parents.

However, in order to close the distance with Deng Zhi, Chen Zhu did not deny it, but he also did not admit it. Instead, he said vaguely: "In short, I don't want to perform a performance that I am not good at for other people."

This sounds like someone who is unwilling to compromise with his parents and is therefore forced to become a husband and father.

"This is not an easy road to take. Of course you are still young and can regret it at any time."

Deng Zhi didn't try to persuade her. Chen Zhucai was so young and he had a girlfriend. He might want to get married as soon as the relationship deepened.

Before leaving, I stretched out my little hand and shook this brother who understood me very well. I felt that working overtime during the New Year was very valuable.

Chen Zhu felt that he had made a profit, after all, he got an exclusive interview for nothing.

Moreover, it seems that he was somehow regarded as a "confidant" by a beautiful woman who did not want to get married.
