Chapter 102: Three People's Entrance Banquet

The confessions of love by two people after graduating from high school can only be regarded as a small episode in Xu Wen's life.

After that day, he continued to live his life.

I usually go out to attend classes, and when I don’t have classes, I stay at home with my mother and sister.

Now that they are financially well off, they can also visit all the tourist attractions that they have not visited in recent years.

This will save them from regretting that when the topic is brought up in the future, they would think, “I’m a local of Linjiang, but I’ve never been to such and such.”

Daily life is warm and fulfilling, and Xu Wen almost forgot what happened in high school.

However, his mother would occasionally remind him that he should have a serious relationship after going to college.

If I get married after graduation and give her a grandson or granddaughter, she will be satisfied.

All parents say this, as if watching their children get married and have children is their ultimate mission.

His mother's words were vague, but Xu Wen could hear the hidden meaning behind them. She was simply hinting that he and Xia Ning should get along well.

Although he could hear it, it didn't stop Xu Wen from playing dumb.

If his parents urge him to get married, he will only have three things to say: "Yes.", "Okay," and "No problem."

In her previous life, Dai Guizhen was seriously ill. She knew that her physical condition would affect her children's happiness, so she never mentioned marriage.

But it’s different now. The illness has been resolved, and Xu Wen also rarely experiences the feeling of being urged to get married.

Does he want a relationship?

Xu Wen also thought about this question when he couldn't sleep at night.

There have been many women around him. These people came and went, but he never had a normal relationship.

His idea was to at least have a normal relationship first so that he could know what it felt like to be in love.

So in general, he still wants to fall in love, but he has no goal for the time being.

In fact, if he wants to fall in love, it is very simple. Two girls confessed to him some time ago.

One is a rich girl, and the other is the sweetheart of most boys in their high school.

It would be no problem to pick either of these two to be your girlfriend.

But Xu Wen refused them all.

There are many reasons for this, but he always reflects on it in the middle of the night and finally summarizes it into one reason: lack of sense of deservingness.

If I were to continue, it would be that there was no feeling of excitement.

But no matter what the reason, Xu Wen felt unprecedented relief after rejecting their confessions.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with acting according to his own heart.

From that day on, Xu Wen never contacted Gu Xingruo and Xia Ning again.

Neither of them came to see him again.

I heard from Xu Ling that Xia Ning went out traveling. She had planned a long travel route and it would probably take a long time for her to come back.

Xu Wen thought this was a good idea.

This child finally took the path he wanted to take and went out to see the world.

He had never heard of Gu Xingruo. He probably was either running a bar or preparing to study abroad.

No matter what the two are doing, at least they are all on their own path.

Xu Wen also embarked on his own path.

But his path sounds much simpler.

Practice driving.

Yes, just practicing driving.

In the last month before school started, Xu Wen decided to get his driver's license first.

Wait until the time comes to buy a cheaper second-hand car so that he can travel more conveniently between home and school.

Xu Ling noticed something was wrong in the last month.

She found it normal because neither of her two sisters-in-law came to play with her!

Sister Ningning knows, so she goes out to travel.

But why doesn’t Sister Ruoruo come?
What about people?

What about her sisters-in-law?

Once upon a time, Xu Ling thought he would even have three sisters-in-law at the same time, but now there is none left.

Her sadness was more like a broken heart than her brother's.

Xu Ling tested Xu Wen. She wanted to know what had happened between them recently.

But unfortunately, nothing was asked.

Xu Wen is not only tight-lipped, but also a master at playing dumb.

It was too difficult for her to ask something.

Before Xu Ling could figure out the situation, she had to give up because high school was about to start.

Linjiang No. 1 Middle School starts morning self-study at 6:30 in the morning and ends evening self-study at 9:00 in the evening. There are classes six days a week, and there is military training in the first week.

Xu Ling had no time to pay attention to anything else.

The day before her daughter started school, Dai Guizhen brought her family to the Hyatt Hotel.

This was the place she had chosen after a long time of consideration.

She used to work here part-time. The Cantonese food here is delicious and the kitchen is very clean. It is said that the chef is a native of eastern Guangdong.

When Dai Guizhen was working here, looking at the dazzling array of dishes every day, her biggest wish was to have a meal with her son and daughter.

However, the average consumption per person here is around 500 to 600 yuan, and there is a 10% service charge for each private room. Some dishes cost several thousand yuan each!

If it were in the past, she wouldn't even dare to imagine that she could come here to eat.

But the family of three is now standing here with their feet on the ground and being received by the service staff.

Although this was not Dai Guizhen’s first time here, it was indeed her first time appearing here as a customer.

All this is thanks to her son. Because she has a good son, she can come here to eat.

Xu Ling had never been to such a place before, and looked around as soon as she came in.

It was the first time that she felt that her meals were taken so seriously.

From the moment they entered the door, two beautiful sisters came to guide them back.

Xu Wen didn't react much. This was not his first time here.

Ten years later, Hyatt was considered an affordable restaurant, using many pre-prepared dishes and gradually becoming no different from other ordinary restaurants.

He had heard it before when a guest was bragging about it.

Before 2016, Hyatt was not affordable for ordinary people, and people usually invited leaders to dinner here.

At that time, the restaurant owner made a lot of money and was quite famous locally.

It’s a pity that he didn’t enjoy his glory for many years.

In 2016, the higher-ups launched a severe crackdown, strictly prohibiting people within the organization from going out to eat and drink every day.

Without any leaders coming, Hyatt suddenly lost its largest consumer group.

Not only them, a large number of restaurants closed down because of this.

Hyatt is a large company with a huge business. It persisted in being high-end for a few years, but later it may have discovered that high-quality service and pre-prepared meals could make more money, so it transformed.

Later, when Xu Wen came again, he always felt like this was a branch of Haidilao.

Similar services, even the pulled noodles were copied.

Today, Xu Wen was fortunate enough to witness Hyatt at its peak, which represented the pinnacle of food and drink culture.

Dai Guizhen had already booked a private room.

The waiter led them inside.

Xu Ling approached her mother and whispered, "Mom, do you have any colleagues or enemies here that you don't like? When the time comes, just ask her to come and serve you."

She has read a lot of novels during the recent holidays.

This is one of the plots.

The protagonist went to a restaurant to eat, but was looked down upon by the villain waiter, who thought he had no money to eat and humiliated him in various ways.

In the end, it turns out that the protagonist is not only qualified, but is also the hotel's VVVIP. The villain falls to his knees and begs people not to fire him.

Xu Ling felt that such a plot was very suitable to happen to them!

My mother used to be a waitress and was looked down upon, but now she has made a comeback as a queen!
"How is that possible? The management here is very strict. I've only come here to work part-time a few times when they had large events and were short of staff." Dai Guizhen and her daughter said that the hotel has strict rules and regulations, as well as teams. Each team has a team leader, and no mistakes are tolerated.

We all have so much work to do every day that we don’t have time to think about trivial things.

Besides, she is just a temporary worker, so even if such a thing really happened, she would not be exposed to it.

Xu Ling felt a little regretful. It seemed that the plot she expected was impossible to happen.

Two waiters brought the three people to the door of the private room.

They stood on both sides of the door and reached out to open the door of the private room together.

"Congratulations to Xu Wen for being admitted to Linjiang University with excellent results!" The waiter also gave his blessing while opening the door.

The theme of today's meal is a graduation banquet, but it is a graduation banquet for only the three of them.

Dai Guizhen was shocked by the scene and felt a little uncomfortable.

However, after remembering that I was a customer today and not a service staff, I adjusted my attitude and walked in.

Xu Ling followed her mother, she was curious about everything around her.

It was the first time for her to see a private room in a hotel with sofas, coffee tables, various furniture, and even a separate bathroom.

The first thing Xu Wen noticed was not the luxury of the private room, but the huge banner hanging on the wall.

The words on the banner were the same as what the waiter had just said, congratulating him on his success in the college entrance examination.

Next to the banner, there was a huge photo taken on his eighteenth birthday.

The boy above is wearing a white shirt, a pair of suit pants and leather shoes, and looks full of vigor and vitality.

Although there were only three of them in the family, Dai Guizhen did not neglect any sense of ceremony.

It really looks like a graduation banquet.

Xu Ling quickly ran to the banner and said, "Brother, brother, congratulations on getting admitted to Linjiang University!"

Before leaving, the waiter asked Dai Guizhen: "Hello, Ms. Dai, would you like to serve the dishes now?"

"it is good."

"I asked the emcee to come over, too."

"it is good."

Dai Guizhen nodded repeatedly.

I understand the first question. They are all here, so of course the food should be served, but what about the host?

She sensed her children's confusion and took the initiative to explain, "Since this is a graduation banquet, we must follow all the necessary procedures."

Because of family reasons, her son missed out on an important moment in his life.

They couldn't hold a grand graduation banquet.

But this doesn't mean that they have to ignore the sense of ceremony. Even if there are only three of them, they have to make it a grand ceremony!

When Xu Wen saw a man in a suit and with a cool hairstyle walking in, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

He felt helpless and funny.

At this time, he hoped that his mother would not take him so seriously and that the family could just sit together and have a meal.

It was probably the first time for the emcee to host a graduation banquet with only three people, but his high professionalism allowed him to remain calm in the face of danger.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, good evening! May the sky be filled with auspiciousness, joy and cool breeze."

The host kept repeating one cliché after another.

If Xu Wen hadn't looked back, he would have thought that there were many people sitting next to him, but in fact, there were only the three of them.

Having said what needs to be said, the main content of the graduation banquet is the speeches by parents and students.

The MC passed the microphone over first: "I'm sure the mother has a lot to say to her son."

Dai Guizhen stood up from her chair somewhat awkwardly. She was not good at speaking, even when facing her most familiar children.

She had actually prepared something to say a long time ago, but when it really came to this, she didn't know how to start.

I should have taken the prepared note with me when I left home.

But she was afraid that her son would think she was being perfunctory.

Xu Wen and Xu Ling sat on their chairs and clapped their hands to encourage their mother.

Dai Guizhen looked at the two children she had raised, and she finally felt less nervous.

She wanted to say what she had prepared long ago, but when she got to the scene, her mind went blank.

But even if she didn't remember anything, she still had a lot to say based on her mother's instinct.

"Son, you've worked hard these years. You've been sensible since you were young. You help me with housework and take care of Lingling. When other children are playing, you're the first to share the work with me."

"Then you grew up little by little. Mom didn't give you a good living condition. I always felt sorry for you, but you never blamed me."

"Now that you have been admitted to university and entered a new stage, Mom only hopes that your future will be better and better."

Scenes from the past emerged in Dai Guizhen's mind.

Xu Wen was a premature baby when he was born. He was put in an incubator as soon as he was born. He was only that big.

Dai Guizhen felt very sorry for him. She raised him little by little until he became the big boy he is today.

When my son was little, he said that he would definitely give his mother a better life and she would never have to work again.

Now he really did it.

At the end of her speech, Dai Guizhen burst into tears.

Xu Wen and Xu Ling both ran to their mother and helped wipe her tears.

After crying for a while, Dai Guizhen also felt that she was being pretentious. Her life was getting better and better now, and her son and daughter were both top scorers in the imperial examinations. What was there for her to cry about?

After the emcee finished hosting the mother's speech, he handed the microphone over again: "As the protagonist today, as a son, what do you want to say to your mother?"

Xu Wen also had a lot to say, but he was afraid that his mother would cry too much, so he only summed it up in one sentence.

"Mom, it's great to have you here."

This is what he wanted to say most.

Everything Xu Wen had done was just to keep the three of them together a little longer.

The emcee didn't expect Xu Wen to only say one sentence.

But that didn't stop him from bragging.

Words like "deeply touching" and "the mother-child bond" all came out.

Professionalism is professionalism. Even if the graduation banquet was for only three people, he hosted it in a lively manner.

As the ceremony came to an end, various dishes were served one after another.

Xu Ling looked at the table full of dishes she didn't recognize, and her saliva was about to drip onto the table.

"Brother, why don't you repeat your studies? You can hold more graduation banquets and I can eat more." She joked

Dai Guizhen patted her daughter gently and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She picked up the roast suckling pig on the table and put it on her son's and daughter's plates respectively: "When your brother gets married, we will have a better one!"

The last Xu Ling was joking.

But my mother's suggestion is really possible.

While enjoying the crispy skin of the suckling pig, she turned around and said, "Brother, you should get married as soon as possible!"

"You can always eat here even if I don't get married."

"Great!"

After the entrance banquet, Xu Wen only had a little bit of summer vacation left.

Now that all high school students have started school, the "Provincial Top Student Mathematics Training Class" has also come to an end, and he has not arranged any other classes for himself.

He only does two things in the rest of the time.

Practice driving, and prepare various items and documents needed for college.

One week before school started, Linjiang University received a remittance of two million yuan on the bank card issued to him.

Xu Wen’s scholarship has arrived.

During the entire vacation, he received 840,000 yuan from Huagong Education, including dividends and tuition fees.

December 2011, 9.

This is the registration time for new students of Linjiang University, which lasts for two days.
