Chapter 32 Submit again
Xu Changqing's shout made quite a noise.

Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan came out, and their parents also came out to join in the fun.

"Ali, Yuanyuan, you all know about Qiu'er's boyfriend, right?"

Zeng Ali nodded, and saw Xu Jinqiu's eyes looking for help. She laughed secretly. Uncle Xu was going to ask about someone. How should she tell Uncle Xu?
It’s not easy to introduce Chen Fan.

Chatterbox, slick, cunning, face-obsessed, overbearing... There are too many labels. If you pick out any one of them, Uncle Xu would fight him to the death with a kitchen knife.

After thinking for a while, Zeng Ali organized his words: "Uncle Xu, we have all met him. He is a good guy and he is very sincere to Qiu'er."

"Really? Tell me in detail." Xu Changqing said.

Zeng Ali did not hide anything and told Chen Fan about his work, income, and family. He also told her about what happened in Sanhe.

At first glance, it sounds really good.

A writer, high income, simple family, able to protect Xu Jinqiu...

As for Chen Fan's labels such as being talkative, slick, cunning, face-obsessed, overbearing... Zeng Ali didn't mention a single word about them.

Not saying anything means not lying!
Xu Jinqiu secretly gave her a thumbs up, thinking that the eldest sister was reliable and well versed in the art of language.

Xu Changqing is an old and experienced man, so how could he not hear that Zeng Ali only said good things?

"Ali, you can't just say good things. Qiu'er is your sister. If she runs into an unreliable little bastard, you will suffer for the rest of your life."

Zeng Ali smiled awkwardly and gave Xu Jinqiu a helpless look: "Uncle Xu, I just talked about the good things first, let's talk about the bad things next."

"Speaking of Chen Fan, he has quite a few minor flaws. Yuanyuan has had more contact with him and knows him better. Yuanyuan, you should tell us about it."

Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes widened when she heard that. You play all the good guys, and you let me take on the bad guys?
Comrade Zeng Ali!
I treat you as my own sister!
"Well... Chen Fan is pretty good, but he has a lot of tricks, but there's nothing wrong with him."

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Xu Jinqiu cautiously again and gave her a look that said "I wish you all the best".

Seeing Xu Jinqiu covering her face, Zhao Yuanyuan then told the story of how Chen Fan had lured Xu Jinqiu out by sending her food and notes.

"He's really an old sparrow." Xu Changqing was speechless. This kid is quite resourceful.

"Old Xu, your future son-in-law is full of tricks. I'm afraid he will be able to trap you in the future." Zeng Hongwen, the great-grandfather, joked.

"What future son-in-law? I haven't agreed yet." Xu Changqing snorted.

"dad……"

"Girl, your uncle is right. This young man is too cunning."

Xu Changqing stopped his daughter from acting like a spoiled child and snorted, "Just talking about sending you food. On the surface, it looks like I'm trying to lure you out, but in fact, I'm testing your character."

"If you just eat the meat and ignore him, he will probably stop sending it to you in less than a week and will just think that this girl has bad character."

"But if you want to go out, then he will succeed, especially since you have paid back the money and have a positive character and values, then he will think he has made a great profit."

"This little bastard is a smart guy!"

Xu Jinqiu was stunned when she heard this. She had never thought so much about it before.

"Old Xu, isn't this good? It would be better if the young man was smarter, so that Qiu'er won't be bullied in the future. I like it this way." Zeng Hongwen smiled.

Zhao's father, Zhao Dali, also joked: "Old Zeng is right. It's better to be smart. People like this can often accomplish things, as long as they have good character."

"I'm just afraid that he will use all his cleverness on Qiu'er."

Xu Changqing scratched his head, took a few puffs of his cigarette, and said in annoyance: "Yuanyuan, go on and see if this young man has any more questions."

"What else?"

Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Xu Jinqiu, shrugged helplessly, and pointed out all of Chen Fan's shortcomings, such as his poor mouth, slickness, and domineering attitude.

But they are all said in a beautified way, and they are not about character issues.

The harmless kind!
After listening to this, Zeng Hongwen couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I'm actually quite curious about this young man, Qiu'er, bring him back someday and I'll check him out for you."

Zhao Dali joked, "We should be careful. If this guy is sincere to our Qiu'er, he will be a great match. But if he is not sincere, he will be a disaster."

Xu Changqing scratched his hair, wondering what kind of person his daughter was dating.

It's not a bad thing to say that he is a bad person. He has a decent job, a high income, and is very good to his daughter. There's no big problem.

If you say something good about him, he has a lot of small flaws.

"Dad, I'm going to his house tomorrow?" Xu Jinqiu looked at her father cautiously. "Why are you acting first and asking for permission later?"

Xu Changqing was depressed. He was afraid that he couldn't keep his daughter. "It's ok to go. Bring her back next week. I have to meet her. Why does she seem so unreliable?"

Xu Jinqiu stuck out her tongue.

It is indeed difficult to evaluate Chen Fan. He is not the type that parents like in the traditional sense.

Xu Changqing looked at his daughter, sighed, and said to Li Xiuzhen, "Wife, take Qiu'er to buy some gifts this afternoon. We can't let people look down on our daughter."

Li Xiuzhen nodded, then pulled her daughter to ask again. Zeng's mother and Zhao's mother also joined in. The group of women were still not very enthusiastic in chatting.

Only Xu Changqing was depressed.

No one would be in a good mood if their cabbage was eaten by a pig: "Lao Zeng, Lao Zhao, let's go outside and have a few drinks."

"Mom, what's going on here?"

Chen Fan had just finished putting together his manuscript and was about to go out, but when he reached the middle courtyard he was startled by the noise there.

The place was packed with about 20 people, all crowded here to watch the fun. Auntie Wang's loud voice came from inside: "So what? I've already apologized, what else do you want?"

"It's all your fault." Guan Yuemei rolled her eyes at her son and burst out laughing.

Chen Fan was confused. After coming back yesterday, he stayed in the backyard writing editorials and didn't talk to anyone. How could it be related to him?

Besides, who is Aunt Wang?
The loudspeaker in the alley is used to spread gossip. If she knows something, half of the alley will know it in less than half a day.

Chen Fan doesn't even have time to hide from this kind of person.

"What's your Aunt Wang's catchphrase? I'm doing this for your own good. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice... She tells her son this every day, and he's going to explode now."

"So, it really is related to me." Chen Fan smiled bitterly. It was another case of moral blackmail.

People who say “I’m doing this for your own good” are trying to manipulate your decisions by claiming that their actions are out of care and concern.

Those who say “I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice” are also trying to exaggerate their own contributions or authority in order to gain the upper hand in the argument and manipulate your decision.

Those who say this are often family members or relatives.

"Write less of these articles in the future. There have been several quarrels in the courtyard over moral kidnapping these days. Be careful that they will ask you to judge the case."

"..."

Chen Fan shuddered. I wrote the editorial to vent my anger on my wife. What does your quarrel have to do with me? Why should I interfere if you ask me to judge the matter?
"Mom, I'm leaving first."

Chen Fan turned and left without any hesitation, fearing that if he was a second slower someone would come to him to seek justice.

I walked to the entrance of the alley, hailed a tricycle and headed straight to the People's Daily.

Li Haiyang went to work as usual today and welcomed Chen Fan in warmly. In recent days, he has been very arrogant and he doesn't even need others to morally blackmail him. He just takes the initiative.

Whenever he met those who had morally blackmailed him in the past, he would discuss Chen Fan's editorials with them.

No need to say it explicitly, just discuss it.

But in the eyes of others, it was so yin and yang that it made people speechless. They could only nod their heads and say, "Yes, that's right, that's the reason..."

Li Haiyang hasn't felt so good since he became bald.

"Brother Li, I'm here to submit another article."

Chen Fan took out the manuscript, and the title on it was: Stand at attention when being beaten, and refuse ineffective apologies.

The article begins with the apology from Sanhe Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Leaders call other leaders and tell the "victim" to apologize. This way of apologizing is using the leader's power to pressure others and is an insincere apology.

The focus of the article is not here.

The focus is on the types and methods of ineffective apologies, and the bad atmosphere they cause.

Li Haiyang took the manuscript and saw the detailed examples of types in it. A familiar feeling came to his mind and then he got excited again.

Oh my god, I’m the victim again!
