MTL - The Male Protagonist’s Daughter (Daughter of the Male Protagonist)-Chapter 37
The next morning, Shen Yan got up early to wash up and waited for Luo Shuyan at home.
He wanted to know what happened after she got home yesterday, and most wanted to know whether Uncle Luo would send Luo Shuyan away as the person said.
Luo Shuyan slept until dawn. Today, she didn't stay in bed. After getting up and washing, she carried her schoolbag and came to the next door.
"How is it?" Shen Yan rushed over and asked several questions in a row, "What did Uncle Luo say? How will he solve this?"
Luo Shuyan was stunned: "…"
After he reacted, he didn't dare to sell anything. When contacted by his actions yesterday, he must be concerned about her, and he whispered with a warm heart: "Nothing, my father said he and Aunt Song has broken up, and he said he doesn't want to get married, and he won't marry anyone."
No, not married? Is that what he meant by it?
Luo Shuyan winked at him and said in a low voice, "Others, I'll tell you later on the way to school."
As if unknowingly, she and Shen Yan have become very good friends. She will not hide any secrets from him. If all his secrets are shared with her, then she will not Clear.
This is a very magical thing, it is hard to imagine that her current best friend is actually Shen Yan, a boy.
Shen Yan nodded hesitantly: "Okay."
Looking at her like this, it doesn't look like she has been wronged.
That's good, Uncle Luo should handle it very well.
Today is a sunny day, there is no need for Luo Tianyuan to drive them, and Luo Shuyan also wants to chat with Shen Yan, so she excused herself from eating too much breakfast and had to walk to school to digest and refused Dad to drive.
After breakfast, Luo Shuyan and Shen Yan went downstairs and walked out of the community towards Ningcheng Elementary School.
Luo Shuyan expressed what Luo Tianyuan said to her yesterday in a way that a child could understand, and Shen Yan, who was also a male, was stunned.
Luo Shuyan saw that Shen Yan didn't speak, so she pushed him, "Anyway, my father meant that he didn't plan to get married. What do you think?"
Shen Yan finally regained her thoughts and said, "It's good."
Luo Shuyan was stunned: "Okay...?"
Shen Yan glanced at her: "at least you won't have a stepmother, no one will abuse you, give you food, send you to your cousin, send you to boarding school."
Luo Shuyan: “…”
There was a tangle on her face, she said so, but... She remembered that her grandparents used to hope that her father would get married. At that time, they still made arrangements for him all day long and wanted to introduce him to someone, but it was a pity All were rejected by him.
Shen Yan saw Luo Shuyan's hesitation, and said: "Sir, you can do so much, Uncle Luo naturally has his reasons for doing that, and it is true that not everyone wants to get married. Ah. It's boring to get married."
Is it true that a seven-year-old boy said such a thing?
Luo Shuyan was silent for a moment, and then said: "I really hope there is a tape recorder to record your words and show them to your girlfriend later."
Shen Yan is now numb to such a topic.
Because he found that he couldn't avoid it at all, and Luo Shuyan couldn't avoid it. Most of the popular TV dramas now focus on the relationship between men and women, not to mention Luo Shuyan, even his back table is talking about marrying Ziwei as his wife every day.
Fortunately, everyone said this, but the male students and female students seem to be "avoiding suspicion". The male students do not like to be at the same table with the female students, and the teacher will not arrange it like this. Female classmates also don't like to talk to male classmates. Shen Yan and Luo Shuyan go to and from school together every day, which is really a very small number.
Shen Yan was silent.
In the past, he would definitely hate her, but today his mind is all about thinking about the password.
Originally he was going to discuss with Luo Shuyan, but he turned his head and caught a glimpse of her smiling face, so he had to give up.
Forget it, the two of them thought together that although the speed was faster, she was already very busy these days, so he should come.
—
Luo Tianyuan returned to the company and received a call from Song Qianjin.
Song Qianjin returned to the Shenzhen market some time ago, and makes several phone calls almost every week to report the company situation. Times are different from the past. After five years of hard work and hard work, people in the metropolis will inevitably think of smiling fashion when they mention clothing. Luo Tianyuan doesn't have any doubts about using people, but he doesn't need to be suspicious. He trusts Song Qianjin very much, and Song Qianjin repays Luo Tianyuan's 100% sincerity. No matter how big or small, he never dares to hide Luo Tianyuan, and he never thinks of favoritism. .
After Song Qianjin reported some important things about the company, he hesitated.
Luo Tianyuan thought he had something to ask for help, so he said, "There is something we can't say, just say it directly, don't be around the bush, I don't like it."
Song Qianjin sighed and said, "There's something I wanted to tell you last time I went back, and I guess I won't be able to hide it this time, Song Xinhua, that's your girlfriend, Miss Song. My uncle, I have been coming to the Shenzhen market for a few months, and I have found a lot of connections to meet you. I know that you do not want to let others know that you are the owner of Xiaoyan Fashion, so you have shied away, and I am afraid that Song Xinhua will meet me. , I will think of you when I meet you in Ningcheng in the future."
"Your girlfriend, Miss Song's house, is very interested in cooperating with us. She is giving gifts to the sales manager and opening up the relationship, just to provide us with fabrics in the future, but you also know that at that time, When we founded this company, Boss Liu helped us a lot, and Boss Liu has always provided us with fabrics, and we have been very happy to cooperate in the past few years."
"Tianyuan, I am also selfish about this matter. I am afraid that if I tell you, you will help your girlfriend's house, so I kept pressing it and didn't tell you."
Song Qianjin has been in a state of interdependence for a long time.
Loyalty to Luo Tianyuan makes him reluctant to hide anything from him. If it weren't for Luo Tianyuan, he still doesn't know where he is hanging out, but from the perspective of morality and business integrity, He was really unwilling to cancel the cooperation with Boss Liu. After all, without the help of Boss Liu, Xiaoyan Fashion would not have been so smooth.
Of course there is the most important point. Song Qianjin always remembers Luo Tianyuan's original intention. Business is business, and feelings are feelings.
Luo Tianyuan fell silent.
Song Qianjin didn't say anything, people are ruthless, if he was Luo Tianyuan, maybe he would have given the business to his girlfriend's house long ago.
When Song Qianjin was thinking about how to apologize to Boss Liu, only Luo Tianyuan on the other end of the phone said calmly: "Go forward, I should have told you that doing business is the most important thing. The taboo is to be emotional, even if Wanqing is my wife today, I can do this business as I want, and the embankment of a thousand miles will be destroyed in the ant's nest."
Song Qianjin was stunned: "But Miss Song..."
Luo Tianyuan said solemnly, "I have been separated from her for a long time."
"How should I respond from the Song family's side?"
Luo Tianyuan doesn't care about many things. He has a gentle temperament. As long as it doesn't touch his bottom line, he is very good at talking, but now the Song family is playing those small tricks in front of him. It shouldn't be counted in front of his daughter.
His daughter is only six years old.
As long as they have a little conscience, they will not do such a thing.
He looked cold and whispered: "Xiaoyan Fashion will never cooperate with the Song family in this life, all the industries under my name will be."
Song Qianjin was surprised: "What?"
He knows his brother well. He has always been very artistic in his speech.
Ke Luo Tianyuan is very generous to his former girlfriends, whether in love or when breaking up, he will never treat others badly, is Song Wanqing going to be an exception ?
Although Luo Tianyuan is affectionate, but in terms of love, she and her girlfriend are good friends. Song Wanqing has done something that people and gods are angry with to provoke a good-tempered Luo Tianyuan so?
Luo Tianyuan: "That's it."
After all, there was a period between him and Song Wanqing, and the two of them were good together.
That's it, there won't be any more intersections.
If the Song family still wants to come to him and Shuyan, then he will not be softer.
—
New Year's Day performance was scheduled on the last day of 1998.
The school music teacher choreographed "Bells Ringing" Luo Shuyan almost vomited, forty minutes a day, this dance is not difficult, except for the first week of studying , at other times, they are rehearsing repeatedly, at least four or five times a day, not only her, but also several other girls, from the beginning of the excitement to the current expressionless.
The head teacher and the music teacher finally ordered the dance clothes after discussion.
Uniform white slim fit princess gauze dress, white tights and black leather shoes.
As the lead dancer, Luo Shuyan's clothes are obviously different from the other dancers. Her princess gauze dress is obviously more gorgeous. Ningcheng Primary School is also willing to spend money this time. After they performed their dance, they expressed their satisfaction, and the school's financial office did not dare to search too much, so the head teacher took a bus to the provincial capital. These dance costumes were bought in the provincial capital, which is different from other coquettish cheapies. .
Actually, this is not the first time Luo Shuyan has participated in this kind of group dance. As the most beautiful cub in the whole street, she was outstanding in kindergarten, but this time, she held it by herself in the kindergarten in the past. The event was different. After all, it was going to be on a local TV show. Luo Tianyuan was particularly excited. Not to mention publicity, he even went to borrow a VCR from a friend. Memories.
In the past two years, his interest in taking pictures has decreased slightly. Before Luo Shuyan was three years old, he took pictures of her almost every day, so that now there are many albums in the drawer at home.
Luo Shuyan occasionally flips through it, and she can't help but doubt, it's obviously the same action and the same expression, why does her father take it so much?
In everyone's "anticipation", December 31st finally came.
On this day, Luo Shuyan and several other girls rehearsed all morning and came to Ningcheng Gymnasium in the afternoon. A very large hall, the stage has been set up, the hall can accommodate one or two hundred people.
The school did not hire a make-up artist either. Fortunately, their beautiful music teacher had make-up and loves beauty, so she helped them make up.
Luo Shuyan has also seen elementary school students dancing and wearing makeup before.
Even a little girl with a natural beauty can't stand such a toss.
Luo Shuyan mustered up her courage, thinking that if the music teacher also planned to give them such make-up, could she give an opinion and not draw on her eyelids?
I always feel like painting something so bright on my eyelids is a match for Sun Wukong.
How could she know that the music teacher is indeed the beauty sought after by the unmarried male teachers in the school. She is very skilled in makeup, so Luo Shuyan was relieved. After she finished the makeup, she quickly picked up the small Looking in the mirror, seeing myself in the mirror, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The eyelids are not blue-green-blue-green, it is a nice color, but it is not conspicuous at all!
The lips are not very red either!
Although there is still a little red between the eyebrows, but this is the current trend, and the children in other classes, including boys, are a little bit, so it is not too abrupt.
…
As the prelude to "Jingle Bells" sounded, the curtain was pulled back, Luo Shuyan first danced lightly to the center of the stage, followed by other girls one after another Surrounded by, the little girl of six or seven years old gradually got rid of the baby fat, not only the childishness that has not faded away, but also the innocence of a little girl, dancing this dance is also eye-catching.
At the same time, they were also very nervous, Luo Shuyan didn't dare to look at the audience under the stage, let alone the cameras of the TV station facing them.
They always remember what the teacher told them to keep a smile on their faces.
Luo Tianyuan found a seat in the front row, Shen Yan was on his left, Shen Qingruo was next to Shen Yan's seat, even though the girls on the stage were all dressed in similar clothes, their positions There was also a distance from the stage, but they still saw Luo Shuyan at first sight.
The audience in the back is whispering about—
"The little girl who leads the dance is very handsome."
"I will definitely be a little beauty in the future. She dances really well, no worse than those little stars on TV before."
"It can be seen that she dances better than other little girls, she should have dance skills, right? Parents probably put a lot of effort into cultivating her, eh, I really want to be reborn a daughter."
Luo Tianyuan was very excited after hearing this.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was a public place and everyone was watching the dance seriously, he really wanted to shake hands with the audience behind him and tell them by the way that the little girl leading the dance was his daughter.
It seems that the memory of holding her in the baby is still stuck in yesterday, in a blink of an eye, she has grown so big.
From a baby to a little girl.
Shen Yan also stared at Luo Shuyan on the stage with a smile on her lips.
She should be able to relax for a while.
After the dance, the audience burst into thunderous applause, Luo Shuyan and several other little radishes were very happy.
The head teacher, who has always been strict with them, also had a proud smile on his face, squatted down in the background and hugged them one by one, encouragingly said: "You guys are amazing, more than ever before. The rehearsal is great, and the teachers are so proud of you!"
They won an award for the school and the class, not the first or the second, but the "Most Popular Award" awarded to them by the leaders of the Education Bureau.
The head teacher said that the school will also give them prizes. If they guess correctly, each person will receive a certificate, a writing pad and an automatic pencil sharpener.
Luo Tianyuan took a lot of photos of Luo Shuyan, and one of them was his most satisfactory.
Shen Yan and Luo Shuyan stood in the background, Shen Yan did not like to laugh, Luo Shuyan simply tickled him, he ducked aside, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, Luo Shu Yan succeeded in mischief and laughed, and this scene was captured by Luo Tianyuan.
The time is shown in the bottom right corner of the photo—
1998.12.3117:25
This is the last day of 1998.
Under the leadership of the music teacher, Luo Shuyan went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and changed her clothes, and then went home with Luo Tianyuan and his party.
The next day would be a holiday, so Luo Shuyan didn't bother to catch up with her homework. When she was about to go home to watch TV, Shen Yan stopped her.
He handed her a cube paper box awkwardly, "Luo Shuyan, this is for you."
Luo Shuyan took it in surprise and opened the box in front of him.
Shen Yan didn't have time to stop her, seeing her open the box, her ears were a little red.
It was his first gift after all.
When Luo Shuyan celebrated her sixth birthday, he didn't even send it. It's just that the situation is special this time. Tomorrow is New Year's Day and New Year's Day. Today she is on stage again, so he bought this gift with the pocket money he saved a few days ago.
Luo Shuyan took out the crystal ball, and with her movements, the sequins in the crystal ball swayed in the water, which was very beautiful.
In addition to the sequins, there is a pink bear in the crystal ball.
When she went to visit this kind of store with her tablemate before, she also saw that the price was not cheap, she thought it was not practical and didn't buy it, but she didn't expect Shen Yan to give her a crystal ball.
Luo Shuyan looked up at him in surprise: "Is today a good day?"
Shen Yan thought she didn't like it, so she restrained the smile on her face, pursed her lips, and stretched out her small hand, "If you don't like it, return it to me."
Luo Shuyan was afraid that he would take it away, so she hid behind, took two steps back, and looked at him with a wary expression, "There is no reason to take back the gift that was sent."
Shen Yan felt a lot better when she saw her protector, knowing that she liked it.
"It's not a good day, it's just watching your performance today, and tomorrow is the New Year." Shen Yan thought of a good reason, "Uncle Luo sold us the house at a cheap price, I know in my heart of."
Luo Shuyan suddenly realized that it was so.
I didn't expect this kid to be so grateful.
But tomorrow is the New Year, he gave her gifts, she didn't make any sense at all?
But what she has now is not what he likes.
Luo Shuyan thought about it and decided to play him a song she was best at, but she hadn't bought a piano yet, so she ran home excitedly and found a few cups , Under Shen Yan's puzzled eyes, he poured some water into the cups and lined them up.
She held the stainless steel chopsticks and smiled at Shen Yan: "I'm going to give you a gift too, listen and remember."
A string of melody that Shen Yan was not unfamiliar with lingered in his ears under her operation.
Glittering and shining, the sky is full of small stars, hanging brightly in the sky, like many small stars…
Luo Shuyan tapped happily.
Shen Yan stared at her, listening to this special tune, she couldn't help laughing.
—
Red House Western Restaurant. Coincidentally, as soon as the two walked to the door, Song Qianjin saw an acquaintance, so the two-person line became a three-person line.
Song Qianjin took advantage of the time when acquaintances and friends went to the bathroom, and introduced Luo Tianyuan in a low voice: "This Liu Zhongtong I met in Hong Kong City. Shenzhen Market has met several times, and he is very loyal, do you know who his boss is?"
Song Qianjin was too impatient, and didn't bother to betray, before Luo Tianyuan asked who it was, he hurriedly said: "His boss is the general manager of Shengyuan Group, and he is the assistant to that Boss Lu. ."
Luo Tianyuan is no stranger to Shengyuan Group.
It is rumored that Shengyuan Group is backed by mountains, even in Beijing, it is still standing.
Shengyuan Group has numerous industries under its name. At present, the most popular real estate projects in Beijing are its projects. Not only that, but also involved in mining and finance. Luo Tianyuan can also be regarded as a person in the field of stock speculation. It is a master in the middle, but it is not comparable to the influence of Shengyuan Group in the stock market. However, Shengyuan Group is a family business, which has involved the efforts of several generations. Luo Tianyuan has only made his fortune in the past few years. It is still unknown who will be better in the future.
Luo Tianyuan's expression was flat: "Oh, so it is."
Just when Song Qianjin wanted to share more news, Liu Zhongtong came back to the box. He is a talented man in suits and shoes, and his words are good, but the assistants of the general manager are so good. Luo Tianyuan's comments on Shengyuan Group Strength can also be regarded as a superficial understanding.
Liu Zhongtong and Song Qianjin hit it off at first sight, and Song Qianjin didn't reveal Luo Tianyuan's true identity or situation to him, Liu Zhongtong still saw with a vicious eye that Luo Tianyuan was not something in the pool.
"By the way, why did Brother Liu come to Ningcheng this time?" Song Qianjin asked after three rounds of drinking.
Liu Zhongtong smiled helplessly: "For those of us working part-timers, where to go is not a word from the boss. Brother Song, Brother Luo, I will not hide from you, I have been with Lu over the years. I didn’t do any serious business with him, so I ran all over the world. I have been to the United Kingdom and the United States several times, and I have also been to the villages and towns. Don’t think that I am so dark now, I was white when I first graduated. All the female classmates say that I'm a little white face."
Song Qianjin was surprised when he heard it: "Running all over the world? Has your Shengyuan business spread all over the world?"
"Dude, you are laughing at me." Liu Zhongtong wiped his face, "I am an assistant beside Mr. Lu." Maybe after drinking some wine, his chatterbox was also opened, and he He sighed: "There are too many rumors about our President Lu's wife in Beijing, some people say that she died unexpectedly, some people say that she divorced our President Lu and went abroad, and now the Lu family has nothing to say, let's not talk about it. Besides, our President Lu is really a rare infatuation."
In fact, neither Luo Tianyuan nor Song Qianjin have any interest in other people's family affairs, but even if they lack interest, Liu Zhongtong is obviously complaining and full of desire to talk. Get up and listen to his nagging.
Liu Zhongtong is also a confidant, and he is also an acquaintance with Song Qianjin. Knowing his character, I believe he will not talk nonsense everywhere, so he indulges himself.
"In the past, Mrs. Lu disappeared unexpectedly. At first, I thought she was going to relax. I didn't know she didn't go home for several days, so Mr. Lu was in a hurry. She was almost turned upside down, but she was not found. Later, Mrs. Lu's paraphernalia was found on the beach. Unfortunately, after several days, many traces were destroyed, and they searched in the sea for a long time. Don't you know, they were salvaged later. After finding Mrs. Lu's shoes and finding Mrs. Lu's accessories in the crevices of the reef, we, Mr. Lu, are such an upright man and fell down at that time."
"Actually, over the years, everyone has known that Mrs. Lu died unexpectedly, but our President Lu thinks that as long as the body is not found, he will not believe that Mrs. Lu is dead. Over the past few years, Mr. Lu has He sent people to look around, searched for unknown cities along the sea, and even went abroad for unknown times, but he still refused to give up."
"The old lady of the Lu family doesn't know how many times she has been ill. I happened to come to Ningcheng this time."
To, a relative in the family was sent to a village below Ningcheng by an educated youth. He was fond of Ningcheng's pastries. He heard that he would pass through the provincial capital city above Ningcheng, so he called him and asked him to bring some pastries back to Ningcheng. , He didn't go back to Beijing directly, but instead took the bus to Ningcheng.
"Brother Song, we are really destined." Liu Zhongtong poured another glass of wine for Song Qianjin.
Song Qianjin also listened to what he said, and said casually: "Then you also ask if Mrs. Lu is here?"
Liu Zhongtong said kindly: "I'm used to asking someone to ask every time I go to a place now." He paused, "Brother Song, you're a native of Ningcheng, I guess someone from here. You have seen people, come here, take a look at this photo."
Actually, Liu Zhongtong is also a routine.
Find a photo from the mezzanine of the briefcase and hand it to Song Qianjin, "Help me take a look."
His tone was casual, since he had already concluded that Mrs. Lu was dead, he would definitely not hope that anyone had actually met Mrs. Lu.
Song Qianjin took the photo and took a closer look. The originally chaotic eyes gradually became clear-
This, this, this, this is not Luo Tianyuan's neighbor Shen Qingruo? ?
Liu Zhongtong was eating with his head down, so he didn't notice Song Jinjin's expression.
Song Qianjin was shocked, but he quickly restrained his expression and handed the photo to Luo Tianyuan beside him, "Tianyuan, take a look."
Luo Tianyuan took it over and took a look. The woman in the photo had bright eyes and white teeth, wearing a satin embroidered peony cheongsam, sitting on the swing on the lawn, the sun was just right.
Although she knew that Shen Qingruo was either rich or expensive in the past, Luo Tianyuan was stunned when she really knew about her.
Song Qianjin bumped him with his elbow, looking serious.
Luo Tianyuan shook his head.
Song Qianjin looked at him in disbelief, but still cooperated with him, and said to Liu Zhongtong after finishing the draft: "Brother Liu, you lend me this photo for two days, I will help you ask, Ning Cheng Xiao, you are from outside. Everyone is afraid of causing trouble. If you suddenly ask this question, it will attract the attention of others. Even if they have seen this person, they will say they have never seen it. You will stay in Ningcheng for the past two days. I will go. Ask for you."
Liu Zhongtong sighed Song Qianjin's thoughtfulness and righteousness, and shook his head with a smile: "No, this is a routine, no need for so much trouble, I just ask when I buy things."
Luo Tianyuan, who hasn't spoken much, said for the first time: "Brother Liu, it's not too much trouble, my girlfriend likes cheongsam very much, and the tailor shop doesn't have a style she's satisfied with, I look at the photos. This lady's cheongsam is very good, and I want to go to the tailor's shop to make someone follow it. Just in time, I will ask you, how about you, come here in the dust, or take a good rest in the hotel, let us also do the landlord's friendship I'll entertain you." Having said that, he paused, "In the future, when our brothers go to Beijing, we will have to trouble you."
This statement is well-founded and reasonable.
Liu Zhongtong didn't come to Ningcheng to find someone, he just planned to find two people on the street as a routine and ask them to be done.
Now it's a surprise to meet the old friend in a foreign country. I didn't expect his friend to be so interested in his affairs. Under the emotion, he picked up the glass and said: "Okay, please, please come to Beijing in the future. City, I will definitely treat you well!"
