Chapter 186: The Twins of the Noble Family (3rd Update, 600 Monthly Tickets)
Chapter 186: Twins of Aristocratic Families (3rd update, 600+ monthly tickets)
Zong Ruoan said calmly: "I know, the head of our Special Security Bureau is personally in command, but no one asked me to go."
Quan Yuxun smiled: "Ruoan, if no one asks you, you won't go?"
Zong Ruoan sighed and said: "I do want to, but I always feel that I am not the same kind of people as them, and I feel that I am out of tune with them in terms of how I speak and do things."
It has been three years, and I still feel this way. I guess I am really not related to this organization.
Quan Yuxun looked at him calmly: "Maybe the Special Security Bureau is not suitable for you. Have you ever thought about starting a new business?"
Zong Ruoan said seriously: "I am indeed considering whether to quit. It's not that the Special Security Bureau is bad, but I can never fit in with the way they do things."
He originally had a big case to investigate, but since the incident of the Fan family seizing the title in Dafu County, he couldn't get excited at all.
Quan Yuxun expressed his understanding: "If the concepts are different, it is indeed difficult to cooperate. Anyway, you have also worked in the Special Security Bureau for three years and have the qualifications. What are you going to do next?"
Zong Ruoan has been thinking about this question these days.
He pondered for a long time, and still said: "Yuxun, I want to run for the Senate. Do you think I have hope?"
Quan Yuxun showed a kind smile: "Not only is there hope, but the hope is very great. Ruoan, I think that going to the Senate as a senator is the right way for you."
He patted Zong Ruoan on the shoulder: "When you become a big boss in the Senate in the future, remember to take care of us..."
"Yuxun, what are you kidding?" Zong Ruoan smiled bitterly, "You are the chief legal adviser of the Senate, I need your care."
"Advisors and formal senators are always different." Quan Yuxun encouraged him, "You will know when you are elected."
Zong Ruoan became more confident and said: "Senate members are re-elected every seven years. This year happens to be an election year, so I will give it a try."
Quan Yuxun gave Zong Ruoan a lot of suggestions very seriously.
By half past three, the two had already started to form a campaign team.
"Today, I really heard your words, which is better than reading ten years of books. Yuxun, come and be the leader of my campaign team..." Zong Ruoan extended a sincere invitation to him.
Quan Yuxun smiled and shook his head: "I'm too busy, I'm worried about delaying your work, but I can recommend someone to you after I go back, who will definitely help you well."
As they talked, they stood up together and planned to go to Xia Chujian's house for dinner.
Zong Ruoan asked: "Where is your secretary Yun? Don't you want to have dinner together?"
Quan Yuxun said lightly: "She is at the aircraft, and there is a special chef."
Zong Ruoan didn't say anything more.
No matter how powerful Yun Nuluo is, she is not in the aristocratic circle.
Zong Ruoan was polite to Yun Nuluo for Quan Yuxun's sake.
If Quan Yuxun doesn't care, Yun Nuluo is nothing.
Zong Ruoan has sensitively noticed that Quan Yuxun's attitude towards Yun Nuluo has changed.
…
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun stood at the door of Xia Chujian's house on time and rang the doorbell.
They were wearing coats that were so expensive that they could buy an entire building. They walked on the narrow and gloomy sidewalks of the community, which was out of tune with the whole environment.
But Quan Yuxun was not unhappy at all. Instead, he looked around with interest.
Zong Ruoan admired Quan Yuxun's calm attitude.
It seemed that no one could tell what he was thinking.
Zong Ruoan felt a sense of urgency.
Although they were called "the twins of the aristocratic family", Zong Ruoan still knew his own limitations.
This title did not mean that the two were equally capable, but that their family backgrounds were similar.
Xia Chujian opened the door and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Colonel Zong, Happy New Year, Chief Quan."
Zong Ruoan smiled and nodded: "Happy New Year, Chujian!"
Quan Yuxun took out a red envelope slowly and handed it to Xia Chujian, saying: "Ms. Xia, Happy New Year."
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
This is the first time the two of them have met officially, and they actually gave each other a red envelope!
This Chief Quan is really good at getting along!
Although everyone is using digital currency now, there is also cash.
In addition, the red envelope on the quantum optical brain feels very different from the red envelope in hand.
Xia Chujian smiled from ear to ear: "How can I let Chief Quan spend money? Chief Quan is so generous, I must cook a few more dishes today!"
While she said she was embarrassed, she put the red envelope in her pocket very embarrassedly.
Because she was at home, she was dressed very casually, wearing an oversized light gray loose sweater suit, and the red envelope was directly put into the big pocket on the side of the sweater.
Zong Ruoan glanced at Quan Yuxun.
He had forgotten to prepare a red envelope, but it didn't matter. He would send a digital currency red envelope to Xia Chujian after dinner.
Quan Yuxun smiled as before: "Ms. Xia is too polite. Your help to our Quan family cannot be repaid with a small red envelope."
He was obviously talking about the incident of Quan Caiwei in Dafu County.
Xia Chujian couldn't figure out what he meant, and didn't want her aunt to know, so she hurriedly said: "Chief Quan, just call me Chujian. It's a holiday now. Let's not talk about work, let's not talk about work..."
Quan Yuxun understood what she meant and immediately changed the subject and said: "Ruo'an has never praised the level of food like this. To be honest, I am not a person who cares about food. I just heard him praise so much and became a little curious."
Xia Chujian really admires people who "don't care about food and drink".
She said half-truthfully: "Chief Quan is so self-disciplined. I am a person who cares about food and drink. When I was a child, my family was poor. I could only share one low-level nutrient solution with my aunt. I only had two meals a day and went to bed early at night so that I wouldn't be hungry when I fell asleep. So, I like delicious food and I also like to study delicious food. My aunt studied cooking for me."
Zong Ruoan knew that Xia Chujian's family conditions were not good, but he never thought that it could be so bad!
"...Only two meals a day? No way? According to the regulations of the empire, even the poorest humanoid slaves can get three low-level nutrient solutions for free every day?" Zong Ruoan asked doubtfully.
Xia Chujian shrugged: "That is conditional. If you don't want to follow those conditions, you can only get one a day."
Zong Ruoan looked at Quan Yuxun.
Quan Yuxun nodded: "That is the minimum living allowance of the empire. There are indeed conditions. You must meet those conditions to receive three sticks a day."
"What are the conditions?"
Xia Chujian said: "I was young at that time and don't remember much. I vaguely remember one of the conditions, which is that you need a guarantor."
Xia Yuanfang couldn't find a guarantor at that time, so she couldn't go to collect the minimum living allowance provided by the imperial government for her aunt and nephew.
Zong Ruoan said sympathetically: "Chujian, you really suffered when you were a child."
Then he turned to look at Quan Yuxun and said: "Yuxun, you see, in this country, the upper class is flourishing, but the lower class is miserable. But who of the senators in the Senate has ever paid attention to the livelihood of the lower class?"
Quan Yuxun smiled: "So the Senate needs fresh blood like Ruoan to play its due role."
Xia Chujian seemed to understand and asked curiously: "Is Colonel Zong going to the Senate?"
Zong Ruoan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, I just sighed for a moment. By the way, what are we eating today? The clear soup meatballs I ate that day were very delicious. I wonder if you can make them like your aunt?"
Xia Yuanfang came out of the kitchen at this time and said to Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun with a smile: "Hello, I am Xia Yuanfang, Chujian's aunt."
She was also wearing casual clothes, a lapel quilted waist jacket, and corduroy straight trousers underneath.
She was wearing a coat worn in the kitchen.
Zong Ruoan said hurriedly: "Happy New Year, Aunt Xia. I am bothering you again."
Quan Yuxun also said: "Happy New Year, Aunt Xia."
Xia Yuanfang quickly looked at Quan Yuxun and smiled more amiably: "Colonel Zong is polite. Actually, I have nothing to do at home during the New Year. I am in good health these days. Chujian is thinking about me. In fact, I have already told her. How can we neglect guests who come to our house? - Wait a moment, I will cook a few dishes."
After Xia Yuanfang left, Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun followed Xia Chujian to her living room and sat down.
The decoration of this living room is very simple and fresh. Although the floor is not made of the best wood and the sofa is not ergonomic, the whole atmosphere is well integrated. It has a sense of craftsmanship, but it is not vulgar.
At this time, Wufu rode the puppy Sixi from the restaurant.
Although he is small, Sixi is even smaller.
Although Wufu rode on Sixi, his two short legs were still walking on the ground, so Sixi didn't need to carry him at all.
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Wufu, are you naughty again? Sixi is so small, how can you ride it?"
Wufu moved his short legs and fell off Sixi's back. His center of gravity was unstable and he fell on his buttocks.
But he didn't care at all. He turned over and climbed up, staggered to Xia Chujian, snuggled beside her, and looked up at Xia Chujian: "Sister, eat baobao..."
"You want to eat baobao? You've already eaten two today. If you eat more, your little belly will burst." Xia Chujian touched his bulging little belly.
Wufu made a bitter face: "Hungry... Wufu is hungry... I want to eat baobao..."
Sixi looked at Xia Chujian, his little tail wagging fast, like a windmill, and his bright black bean-like eyes also showed greed.
Everyone wants to eat this...
Xia Chujian was helpless and said, "Then I'll go get some meat buns. Wufu said that you can only eat one-third, and the remaining one-third is for me, and the remaining one-third is for Si Xi. If you agree, I'll go get it."
Wufu didn't understand what one-third meant. He was happy as long as he was given food, and nodded like pounding garlic.
Xia Chujian said to Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoan, "You two, do you want to try the wild rhinoceros pork buns made by my aunt? Take it as an appetizer."
Quan Yuxun: "...".
He was not expecting such a greasy appetizer.
Zong Ruoan had eaten it once during the New Year's Eve dinner, and it was indeed a delicacy that he could not forget.
Xia Chujian heated up three meat buns and brought them over on a white porcelain plate.
She took one for herself and pushed the remaining two in front of Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun.
Zong Ruoan immediately picked up the seemingly largest of the two buns and bit into it.
He hummed and made a satisfying chewing sound.
Quan Yuxun: "..."
This Zong Ruo'an is too exaggerated.
