Chapter 174: Triumphant News
The sports car, which was already moving slowly, stopped immediately, and the window slowly lowered.
The chassis of the sports car was not high, and the body was not high either. Chen Yuanjun had to bend down and look into the car. Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he blurted out:
"Yuanzi?!"
There were two people in the car. Besides the beautiful woman who was often watched by the young men and old uncles in the Public Security Department when she went to and from work, there was also a young man in the passenger seat. It was none other than his unlucky younger cousin.
"Cousin, what a coincidence," Zhang Yuanqing said with an awkward but polite smile.
"Why are you here?" Chen Yuanjun looked at his cousin and then at the stunningly beautiful mixed-race female colleague. He seemed to understand something, and his expression became complicated.
"Guan Ya is my friend. I came here today to ask her for a favor and treat her to dinner." Zhang Yuanqing gave his cousin a "you know" look, and added:
"Tell Grandma for me, I won't be home for dinner tonight."
Guan Ya gave a very goddess-like and reserved smile, nodding in greeting, "Captain Chen, oh, I should call you Chief Chen now."
It really was him, it really was him. Chen Yuanjun nodded with mixed feelings.
He never expected that his cousin actually knew someone in the system, and it was the famous goddess of the Public Security Department.
Such a big thing, getting done as soon as it's said, the relationship must be extraordinary. When did these two meet, is it a normal relationship, or is it because he is an excellent public security officer? He immediately thought of a lot of things. Also, he remembered that a colleague once said that the goddess of the special department often went in and out with a young man.
Is that legendary young man Yuanzi? Is it my cousin?
At this moment, the business car behind honked its horn. Chen Yuanjun swallowed back a bellyful of words, took a few steps back, and nodded slightly. The blue sports car drove steadily out of the gate and into the traffic.
Chen Yuanjun stood there, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
At half past six in the evening, Chen Yuanjun returned home. In the spacious living room, his father, who was disrespectful of the old, was practicing the moonwalk, the soles of his shoes scraping against the smooth floor, making a harsh noise. "Yo, son is back!"
His uncle greeted him cheerfully.
Chen Yuanjun nodded lightly, hung his briefcase on the coat rack, took off his leather shoes, and put on cotton slippers. Hearing the sound, his aunt poked her head out of the bathroom and said:
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come out with me later. Your uncle introduced a friend in the public security system. Mom didn't sleep all night, she's just not willing to give up. You work so hard and you're so capable, why not be a police chief? The Chen family has no connections and can't help you, but your maternal grandfather's side has some."
His uncle didn't like hearing this:
"What kind of relationship is that? Your father is just a mixed-up official in a state-owned enterprise, and he has nothing to do with the public security system. You can find someone for small things, but who will give your family face for such a big thing? Don't waste your money, and then they just say 'I tried my best' and send you away." His aunt seemed to have this concern as well, and said angrily:
"We still have to try!"
"Try it, try it!" His uncle shrugged.
Seeing his attitude, his aunt was furious and said through gritted teeth:
"You don't care about your son's future at all, always laughing and joking. None of the men in the old Chen family are reliable." "Isn't my father reliable?"
"Your father is too reliable, so reliable that everyone thinks he's iron-fisted!"
His aunt snorted. His uncle immediately stopped talking.
Chen Yuanjun finally found a chance to speak, saying:
"Mom, cancel tonight's dinner. My promotion is settled. The headquarters' documents are down. I'll be the police chief of the Public Security Department from now on, and the unit is still in Kangyang District." His aunt was stunned, looking at him in shock. After a few seconds, she asked to confirm:
"Really?"
She seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise, "Did Director Li get it done? He said yesterday that it was difficult. Yuanjun, we have to prepare a big gift and thank him properly." Chen Yuanjun shook his head, "Yuanzi asked a friend to do it." His aunt was stunned again, and his uncle also looked over.
"Yuan, Yuanzi?"
His aunt looked incredulous. Could a college student do such a thing?
Moreover, Yuanzi was still in school, and his social circle was very limited. There was no way he could know such a friend. Chen Yuanjun nodded, a smile on his face:
"It's true, I saw him at the Public Security Department just now. He's taking his friend out to dinner tonight."
His aunt was pleasantly surprised, "Really? This kid Yuanzi actually knows such capable friends? Husband, we have to take Yuanzi out to dinner tomorrow and thank him properly." His uncle continued to practice his moonwalk, "We're family, why thank each other."
His aunt thought about it and nodded with a smiling face:
"That's right, that would be too formal. I'll give Yuanzi more pocket money in the future. Husband, I really didn't spoil him for nothing." She was in a great mood.
His uncle snorted:
"I told you that Yuanzi would definitely have a future. In this day and age, people who know how to socialize can make a name for themselves. People who work hard with their heads down are nothing. Look at my dad and Yuanjun.
"My mantle is stronger, isn't it?"
At the dinner table, Chen Yuanjun said:
"Grandpa, the headquarters' documents are down, promoting me to police chief. The unit is still the Kangyang District Public Security Department." His white-haired grandfather was stunned, slightly moved, "What's going on?"
He stared at his grandson with bright eyes, his face a little nervous.
His grandfather knew that if there were no accidents, Yuanjun would not be promoted to police chief. He was too familiar with the style of the public security system. Jiang Yuer, who was eating with her head down, raised her face and looked at Chen Yuanjun with her mother.
Chen Yuanjun said: "When I got off work, I saw Yuanzi. He knows a person with a high status in the public security system, and it just so happened that that person could help me. So it was done. Yuanzi is not coming home for dinner, he's taking her out to dinner." His grandfather looked stunned, seemingly not expecting to get such an answer.
His grandmother was dumbfounded: "He really knows this kind of friend? I thought he was bragging."
His grandmother was very happy, constantly saying that Yuanzi was promising. She knew that he would be promising in the future, because he had friends wherever he went.
His grandfather put away the expression on his face and nodded steadily:
"Yuanjun,
You and Yuanzi are taking different paths. I've always been harsh on you because you're a doer. You can climb up step by step. Yuanzi is different from you. He's suitable for growing wildly. As long as he doesn't take the wrong path, he won't be bad off." After a pause, his grandfather's old face showed a smile:
"You are all promising."
Zhang Yuanqing returned home very late, full of alcohol. The breath he exhaled was mixed with the fragrance of malt.
He usually didn't drink, but the dinner party was for fun. Besides Jiang Jingwei, who was too young to drink, Guan Ya didn't drink because she had to drive Yuanshi home and was disgusted by the idea of a designated driver driving her car. Everyone else drank happily.
Jiang Jingwei had a certain longing for alcohol, eager to try the drinks that only adults could taste, but was rejected by everyone. The moment Zhang Yuanqing gripped the doorknob, his ears twitched, and he heard a faint breathing sound in the room.
Someone is in my room? Jiang Yuer? He was like a frightened bird at first, instinctively vigilant, then relaxed and turned the doorknob. The Demon Eye Heavenly King has been imprisoned, what am I afraid of?
The bedroom door opened, the lights were bright, and the mature and steady Chen Yuanjun was sitting at the table, holding a cigarette in his hand. "You're back?"
His cousin exhaled white smoke, his steady posture, and "mature" face looked like a father waiting for his son to come home late at night. "Ah, cousin, why aren't you asleep yet? Is there something you need?"
Zhang Yuanqing said this, but he actually guessed his cousin's purpose in his heart. Chen Yuanjun's expression was serious, and he asked:
"That Guan Ya, did she drive you back?" "Yes!" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
Chen Yuanjun's expression became more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "How did you and Guan Ya meet, what is your relationship?"
"We met online, met offline, and felt that our personalities were compatible, so we became friends." Zhang Yuanqing lied while thinking.
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuanjun waved his hand to interrupt him. His cousin exhaled silently and said earnestly, "No need to say anything, I understand.
《The Way of the Extraordinary》
"Yuanzi, I know that young people nowadays have open minds and often spread distorted values such as 'sugar mommy is good' and 'Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore.' Perhaps in your opinion, the social atmosphere is like this, everyone just lies flat. Yes, lies flat, you young people describe it very well.
"But cousin still wants to tell you that this is not right. Men have to be down-to-earth, they can't take shortcuts, they can't take the wrong path. If your maternal grandparents and aunt know that you're being kept by a woman, how will they feel?" Kept? Zhang Yuanqing looked at his cousin blankly.
Chen Yuanjun continued:
"That Guan Ya, her identity is not low. Either her family is very powerful, or her boyfriend or husband is very powerful. There will be endless troubles if you get involved with such a woman.
"If her family, or her husband, finds out that she's keeping a gigolo, they won't let you go. Although our family is not poor, it's just an ordinary family. Yuanzi, you have to think about the consequences." Have you already imagined it to this extent? I'm not Cao Cao, I don't like other people's wives. Zhang Yuanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said:
"Cousin, we are really just ordinary friends. Okay, I know that this is not convincing, but please rest assured, I really haven't been kept, Guan Ya doesn't have a boyfriend, and she's not married either." "Not married?" Chen Yuanjun's expression immediately improved:
"If you're just hooked up with a single sugar mommy, then that's a little better."
Yes, yes, yes. Zhang Yuanqing almost covered his face.
Chen Yuanjun got a satisfactory answer and stood up and said, "Then rest early."
The next day, in the morning, his grandmother carried a handbag that housewives often have, preparing to go to the vegetable market outside the community.
As the most high-end community in the surrounding area, besides being a school district, there is also a vegetable market next to it, and a shopping mall one kilometer away. Life and shopping are extremely convenient. When passing by the rest area of the community, his grandmother's ears twitched, and she heard several old sisters in the rest area chatting about gossip.
"I saw it with my own eyes last night. He came back in a sports car, and the driver was a very beautiful woman, but she wasn't young." "That child is very handsome, could it be that he's hooked up with a sugar mommy?"
"Oh dear, searching The Way of the Extraordinary on Baidu, I'm afraid he's being kept. It's a pity for such a good young man."
Sports car, child, kept. His grandmother felt that buying vegetables was not urgent, and rushed over to join in the gossip.
"What are you talking about?" His grandmother asked excitedly.
When the old women saw his grandmother, their expressions changed slightly, and they immediately became silent.
One of the old women who had a good relationship with his grandmother hesitated and said in a low voice:
"It seems that your grandson has been kept by a rich woman, the thing is like this..."
His grandmother came excitedly to join in the gossip, but she didn't expect that the gossip was about her own family, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately. At this time, Zhang Yuanqing was lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone with both hands, and opened the official forum.
The Taiyi Sect announced its participation in this year's arena competition.
The prizes for the arena competition were announced, and the rewards for the Extraordinary realm this year were unexpected.
