Chapter 262 Only losers can fail the first test
Not long after, the relative that Tang Xiaoru hated also came.
She was a noble lady who came with her husband to thank Tang Chengshan for introducing the project to her husband.
Her surname is Qian, and her husband's surname is also Qian. According to seniority, her husband should call her Second Uncle, but Tang Chengshan was embarrassed to let him call him that, so they just called him Brother Tang.
Not long after Mrs. Qian appeared, Chen Qingrong knew why Tang Xiaoru hated her.
She showed off the gold necklace her husband bought for her, talked about how much money she had recharged to the beauty salon, and even when shaking hands with Chen Qingrong, she intentionally or unintentionally showed off her diamond bracelet.
Chen Qingrong was very considerate. He immediately said, "Auntie Qian, your bracelet is so beautiful."
My goodness! Mrs. Qian was waiting for him to say this, and she started bragging, saying that her diamond necklace was 24k, and every diamond was a South African blood diamond, which was extremely rare.
In the end, her husband couldn't stand it anymore and told her to shut up.
Mr. and Mrs. Qian also had dinner here in the evening, and Chen Qingrong and others also sat at the table to join them.
After finishing their meal, the couple said goodbye.
As soon as the person left, Tang Xiaoru started to complain, "The magpie is finally gone."
Chen Qingrong was a little curious, "What magpie?"
Tang Xiaoru curled her lips, "Aunt Qian, as soon as we met, she started talking about how good Uncle Qian was to her. Don't you think she's very similar to a magpie announcing good news?"
Chen Qingrong, "..."
OK OK.
I didn't expect that you, the gentle and kind Tang Xiaoru, would give others nicknames like this, right?
Tang Chengshan said with a little displeasure, "Xiao Ru, don't talk about your Aunt Qian like that. After all, they are your elders."
Tang Xiaoru pouted, "Then I just don't like her. If she comes next time, I won't come back."
"I don't have time to come to our house all the time." Tang Chengshan rolled his eyes at her and said to Chen Qingrong, "Xiao Chen, come with me to the study upstairs to talk alone."
"Oh, yes uncle."
Lin Yue was a little dissatisfied, "Old Tang, don't always let Xiao Chen go to the study room alone with you. Is there anything you two can't talk about in front of us?"
Tang Chengshan curled his lips and said, "Women should stop talking about men's affairs."
"Hey, you old man are getting arrogant. Next time I won't cook for you. I'll starve you to death."
Tang Chengshan didn't take it seriously and took Chen Qingrong upstairs.
Lin Yue took the opportunity to ask Tang Xiaoru, "How did you feel about your visit to Xiao Chen's hometown this time? Did you visit their school? Do you need any donations?"
"Everything is fine. The school there is also good. It is managed by good leaders. Mom, don't worry about it." Tang Xiaoru said with a smile.
Lin Yue said unhappily, "What do you mean by worrying about nothing? I just want to do more for the future buds of our country, don't I?"
"I know, I know. You are the most caring person, but I really don't need your help."
"Okay." Lin Yue changed the subject again, "You are familiar with Xiao Chen, you can pick a belt or wallet as a gift for Xiao Chen, send me the link, and I will buy it for him." Tang Xiaoru was stunned, "Why did you suddenly think of buying a gift for Chen Qingrong? Besides, I can buy the two things you just mentioned myself."
Lin Yue said, "Xiao Chen lost so much money to me tonight, I have to give him a gift. This kid is so good at pleasing others, and he keeps deliberately teasing me. How can I not notice it?"
Tang Xiaoru laughed, "You are just lucky. Besides, the loss is already yours, so don't even think about giving it back."
"That won't do." Lin Yue said with a straight face, "How can we, as elders, ask children for so much money? It's not easy for Xiao Chen to earn money. It wouldn't be good if I just give it back to him. I'll just buy him a gift."
"Then don't buy him any brand-name belts or anything like that. He was reluctant to wear the Rolex my dad gave him before. You might as well give me the money so that I can take Chen Qingrong on a trip."
"You're not short of money."
the other side.
In the study room on the second floor.
Tang Chengshan asked Chen Qingrong to sit down and said, "Xiaoru went back to your hometown with you this time. Did it cause a lot of trouble for your family?"
Chen Qingrong quickly said, "Uncle, you are being polite. My parents and my grandmother like Xiaoru very much. It's not a big deal."
"Xiao Ru is a good child in every way, but she is a little too willful sometimes. Her mother and I spoiled her. You should try to give in to her in the future. As a man, you should let your woman not be ashamed."
"I know, I know. In fact, compared to Xiaoru, I am sometimes immature. It is Xiaoru who tolerates me more. We are making progress together."
"You kid." Tang Chengshan laughed and asked, "I heard from Xiaoru that you are taking the driving test?"
"That's right, uncle." Chen Qingrong scratched his head. "I've done well in subject two. As for subject one, Xiaoru has also signed me up for the test tomorrow. I'll take the test and I think I can pass it on the first try."
Tang Chengshan glanced at him and said, "If you can't even pass the first test, then you should give up driving. In my eyes, only losers can't pass the first test."
Chen Qingrong, "..."
Oh my God, did you hear that?
Please don't let me die, otherwise I will become a waste in my father-in-law's eyes!
Tang Chengshan added, "After you get your driver's license, I will buy you a car worth 200,000 or 300,000 yuan for you to practice. After you get your driver's license, you have to drive. Otherwise, if you don't drive for a long time, your learning will be in vain."
"No need, no need, uncle." Chen Qingrong waved his hand quickly. "I, I can save money to buy a car. I have some savings. Besides, if it doesn't work out, I can always drive Xiaoru's car first to practice."
Tang Chengshan said in an unquestionable tone, "What belongs to Xiaoru belongs to Xiaoru, and what belongs to you is yours. How can a man always drive his partner's car? Besides, two or three hundred thousand is not a lot for me, but it is still a lot of money for a young person like you. You have to work harder and save more money. I won't help you with the money for buying a house in Shanghai in the future, but don't refuse the car."
"Uncle, this..."
"Don't you give me face?" Tang Chengshan glared.
Chen Qingrong instantly wilted and laughed dryly, "No, no, then I, then I thank you for your kindness, uncle. However, a car worth two or three hundred thousand is too expensive. If you really want to give it to me, you can give me a second-hand car worth thirty or forty thousand. I won't feel bad if it gets damaged."
"Look at your lack of ability. You think a car worth two or three hundred thousand is too expensive? How can you buy a Rolls-Royce in the future?"
"..."
Chen Qingrong thought to himself that he couldn’t afford it either.
Tang Chengshan took out a cigarette from the drawer and asked Chen Qingrong, "You really don't smoke, right? You're not pretending in front of me, are you?"
Thanks to Nanzhi for the reward and monthly ticket
