Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 28 Cooperate, I'm Your Boyfriend (Tuesday, Seeking Pursuit)

Zhang Chunmin, who has been in the business world for many years and once assisted Tang Tiande in handling all kinds of chores, keenly noticed Xia An's incredibly smooth change in posture.

In an instant, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He accepted the Southeast Asian fruit that Xia An had "deliberately prepared" and "disrespected" and said lightly:
"Thank you. Please take a seat. You can have a drink."

Xia Yan drinks sparkling water with ice.

Zhang Chunmin lit a cigarette, handed the cigarette box to Xia An and asked if he wanted to smoke.

After the original Xiaoyouzi disappeared, he learned to smoke.

Xia An has not yet become addicted to smoking and has no plans to do so.

After exhaling a puff of cigarette, Zhang Chunmin looked at Xia An and said, "You are a handsome young man."

As if he couldn't wait for the drinks to come, or perhaps it was intentional, Xia An picked up Tang Wan's cup and took a sip.

Then he smiled at Zhang Chunmin and said, "Uncle Zhang, you look very young too."

From beginning to end, Zhang Chunmin did not detect any trace of youthful awkwardness or restlessness in Xia An.

He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He turned and looked at Tang Wan, who was in a completely different state from when she was facing him alone before.

Tang Wan opened the box.

As soon as she got the scarf, she knew it was worthless and was just a souvenir.

But she had a big smile on her face.

Seeing that the two men were silent, she asked Xia An excitedly:

"Did you tell your parents you were coming to see me?"

Xia An nodded: "Yes."

"Did they send this to me specially?"

Tang Wan shook the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xia An carefully recalled the scene at the doorstep.

He nodded firmly: "Yes, they prepared it specially for you. Oh yes, and this too."

He took out the mosquito repellent and put it on the table.

Tang Wan felt like she had found a treasure, holding it in her hands, her eyes almost moist.

"It just so happens that I have type B blood, which attracts mosquitoes the most."

"..."

Xia An smiled and said that as long as she liked it.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Chunmin couldn't describe what he felt.

Before this boy arrived, my niece looked like an elegant lady.

When communicating with each other, they speak in a steady and graceful manner.

On the other hand, now he is even more spoiled than his 8-year-old son.

However, from the look in Tang Wan's eyes that seemed to be about to tear Xia An apart, Zhang Chunmin, who had experienced it, was certain of one thing.

She really likes this boy.

"Xiao Wan told me that you took care of him the past week. I want to thank you for that."

Zhang Chunmin put out the cigarette and blew away the ashes on the table.

Xia An said it should be so.

The thought came, and Tang Tianxing's dirty deeds were about to be introduced.

He guessed that Tang Wan must have told Zhang Chunmin about his youthful wisdom, calmness and maturity.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunmin's next sentence was:

"Xiao Wan's parents had an accident this month, and she gets depressed for a while every year around this time.

"It's a good thing that you can go out for a walk with her.

"But young man, as a man, no matter whether Xiao Wan is older or younger than you, you must be careful about what you do."

Remind him not to mess around and at least wear a condom.

That's what the elders should say, that's right.

But wait, travel?

Xia An caught a glimpse of Tang Wan covering her mouth and laughing, and kicking him with her toes under the table.

Xia An understood immediately that Tang Wan still had not told Zhang Chunmin about her "illness".

He guessed correctly.

After meeting at ten o'clock, Tang Wan told Zhang Chunmin three things.

One is a friend, a high school graduate.

A junior from the same high school, a few years younger than me.

The second was that they met by chance at the Chi'ao graduation banquet yesterday at noon. She was there to pick up Xia An.

That outfit was just a sudden inspiration.

And the girl who was supporting Xia An... was just an ordinary female classmate.

Finally, she explained the reason for her separation from the Tang family.

Going to another city to work and live.

"It's been ten years. It's time for me to change my lifestyle, isn't it, Uncle Zhang?"

This sentence blocked all of Zhang Chunmin's attempts to persuade him.

There is nothing else to say except blessings.

Zhang Chunmin only asked to meet Xia An to help her check.

Tang Wan was not very willing at the time, saying that Xia An was just an ordinary boy.

But then I thought again and wanted to see Xia An's attitude when facing Zhang Chunmin.

Will he shirk or refuse?
Will hesitate to admit it, or something like that.

The result was very good, and Tang Wan was quite satisfied with Xia An's performance after he appeared.

Zhang Chunmin couldn't say he wasn't happy with Xia An. It was just that he himself hadn't expected to have the first impression of a 19-year-old as cunning.

Xia An thought for a moment and figured out Tang Wan's little thoughts.

This is harmless. Since I am here, I can't give the initiative to others.

While the waiter was serving drinks, Xia An took Tang Wan's cup and handed it to her, asking her to exchange it for a hot drink.

He said to Tang Wan, "When I was drinking it just now, I found it was a little cold. Don't drink it anymore."

Tang Wan's eyes were filled with peach blossoms.

The waiter asked Xia An what she wanted to exchange, and Xia An asked her what she had.

Hot coffee doesn't taste good, and Tang Wan is lactose intolerant to hot milk.

Tang Wan was extremely happy.

Then I heard Xia An say to the other person, "Give me a bowl of wontons."

Waiter, Tang Wan: "..."

Zhang Chunmin smiled and said:

"Xiao Xia, I have a leader to accompany me in the city at noon, so I think we'll be drinking until very late. I'll treat you and Xiao Wan to dinner at my house another day."

Xia An smiled innocently.

He was indeed reminding Zhang Chunmin that it was noon, so why not talk while eating?
In that case, let’s just do it.

Xia An told the waiter to bring two bowls, and then said to Zhang Chunmin:
"It's definitely not okay to accompany your boss without drinking. So, take a sip first to warm your stomach, otherwise it will hurt your body."

Zhang Chunmin's first thought was that this person was a habitual drinker, or he was used to seeing people drinking.

This coffee shop is called "Shangdao" and is very popular at the moment.

Not to mention wontons, there are even rice bowls.

After the hot soup, large fillings, seaweed and shrimp skins, and wontons came up, Xia An cracked melon seeds and watched the uncle and nephew eat.

Chat randomly from time to time.

When Zhang Chunmin heard that Xia An was admitted to Tunghai University, he looked at Tang Wan deeply.

Tang Wan glared back secretly.

After cracking a handful of melon seeds, Xia An, who hadn't noticed the secret glances between the two of them, asked:
"I heard that Uncle Zhang, you work at Jin Tang Real Estate?"

Zhang Chunmin sipped the hot soup and said that he was destined to work for Xiaowan's family.

He said this with a smile, but Xia An could clearly see the helplessness in it.

Xia An asked again, "Green Lake Villa was Jin Tang's first real estate project, right? I remember it was a huge hit when it first opened. Is it your work, Uncle Zhang?"

Cuihu Villa was Tang Wan’s original home, but it is no longer her home.

Zhang Chunmin thought it was not surprising that he knew this, and waved his hand to say no.

He told Xia An that he had been transferred to the real estate company as a manager in February this year.

Xia An poured Zhang Chunmin some hot tea and nodded, saying, "Are there any new projects this year?"

Zhang Chunmin glanced at him and said, "No, we plan to develop it next year, on the outskirts of the city. Xiaoxia, are you planning to move?"

Xia An shook his head and smiled.

Tang Wan interrupted at this time: "Uncle Zhang will be promoted to general manager soon."

Zhang Chunmin sighed, unable to express his grievances, and ate wontons in silence.

Xia An still smiled.

Of course he knew what Tang Wan said.

Jin Tang Real Estate will probably be separated from Tang Group at some time next year.

In 2018, Jin Tang owed Xia An 860 million yuan.

Although it was a debt from his previous life, Xia An remembered it very clearly.

The legal person was named Zhang Chunmin and was sentenced to 13 years.

Xia An stretched himself, stood up, walked to the buffet counter, and poured himself a glass of iced lemonade.

While drinking, he suddenly said, "Did you know that Cuihu Villa doesn't have all five certificates?"

Tang Wan was stunned.

Zhang Chunmin spat out half a shrimp.

Xia An smiled faintly and handed over a tissue.

Then he said, "You must be aware of the 460 million yuan bribe Jin Tang Real Estate paid to acquire the land."

This time, Zhang Chunmin was also stunned.

Xia An: "You don't know this either?

"Tsk, Uncle Zhang, the real estate business model seems very simple, but the twists and turns inside are very complicated.

"You don't seem to understand this industry, how dare you step into it?"

Zhang Chunmin withdrew his gaze from Xia An's face and turned to look at Tang Wan blankly.

He inexplicably recalled Tang Wan's expression when she said "He is just an ordinary boy" an hour ago.

Could it be that the seemingly shy expression means "it's not convenient to say"?
A child from an official family?
Well, probably.

In this way, it makes sense that the conversation and demeanor are too mature.

very common?
Thinking of how little Tang Wan used this word to describe Xia An, Zhang Chunmin suddenly found it a little funny.

He straightened up, sat upright and wiped the corner of his mouth.

He asked Xia An in a tentative tone:
"May I ask if your father is..."

Xia An sighed, "My father is just an ordinary small leader."

Section Chief of the Fifth Lathe Pipe Section of the Third Machinery Factory in Dongshan City, Donghai Province.

It's only a matter of time before the truth is revealed.

Let’s just talk things over today.

As Xia An said this, he tapped Tang Wan's feet from under the table.

It means: Cooperate with me, I am your boyfriend.
