Chapter 462 Sister Qing Is the Most Innocent

Chen Lian said that there was no food at home, but she still prepared a large table, which was very rich.

If Zhou Yan hadn't stopped her, she would have gone out to buy some cooked food.

While she was cooking, Wang Zhongyang had been accompanying Zhou Yan to chat with Wang Zuxian. Although Wang Zhongyang was only ten years old, he was naturally generous in dealing with people.

Facing Zhou Yan, he was not at all stage-shy, and he was not as talkative as most Yanjing children, and he spoke very measuredly.

His calmness mainly came from his family.

Wang Zhongyang's father, Wang Junhua, was the director of the Municipal Government Affairs Management Office, and his mother, Chen Lian, was the vice principal of Yanjing Primary School. Their development was not very good among the second generation, but it was not bad either. After all, Wang Zhongyang's father was not yet forty years old.

"Third brother, are you still teaching in school now?"

"In school, but I don't have classes during the weekdays."

Seeing that Zhou Yan's cup was empty, Wang Zhongyang stood up and took the kettle to add water to them, "Actually, I've always wanted to listen to your class."

"Why, are you interested in music?"

Wang Zhongyang shook his head, "No, I just want to see what your class is like. I don't have musical talent, and my class choir doesn't have me."

Zhou Yan smiled, "You don't have to be able to sing in the choir. Many elementary school choirs have a small half of Nan Guo."

"Our class is the same, but I feel uncomfortable standing in it without opening my mouth to sing. If I open my mouth to sing, it will affect others." After pouring the water, Wang Zhongyang sat down next to him, "Third brother, you often go to the United States. What is the specific situation there? The news I see in the newspaper is a lot inconsistent. Some are exaggerated for the good, and some are exaggerated for the bad."

"Why are you interested in the United States?"

"Know yourself and know the enemy, so you can win every battle."

Zhou Yan nodded secretly, this kid is quite ambitious.

Among the three generations that Zhou Yan has come into contact with, Wang Zhongyang is definitely the best among them. He exudes a kind of pride at the age of ten.

"To evaluate a country, we need to consider it from multiple dimensions. The US economy must be very good, no country can compare, and now should be the peak period of the United States."

"Peak period?" Wang Zhongyang asked doubtfully, "Do you think the United States will go downhill later?"

It must be said that Wang Zhongyang is very good at grasping the key points in other people's words.

As a person who has been through it, he naturally knows that the 1990s was the peak period of the United States. It crushed other countries in the world in all aspects and had absolute hegemony.

However, this advantage will become weaker and weaker in the future, and this change may not become clear until 20 years later.

"The change of dynasties is inevitable. There are many problems in American society, but they are not exposed because of the good economic development. Once the economy slows down and the advantages weaken, these problems will become more and more obvious. It is said that it is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to keep the world. This is absolutely true."

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Wang Zhongyang was very surprised.

He thought that Zhou Yan's career was developing very well in the United States, and he had cooperated with many American stars, so his attitude towards the United States should be very mild.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan actually said so badly about the United States.

Wang Zhongyang blinked his eyes, thinking, is it just to comfort me and prevent me from losing confidence?

Seeing the doubt in Wang Zhongyang's eyes, Zhou Yan continued, "It's better to go and see it yourself than to listen to others. You can go and see it when you have time. Just like you said, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles. If you want to understand the other party, you still have to go there in person. The United States is also very large, and the situation in each city is different, and the situation in cities and rural areas is also different. If you want to understand the United States, you have to contact people from all walks of life in the United States as much as possible. If you contact more, you will find that in the United States, the gap between different classes is greater than that in China."

"Are you talking about the gap between the rich and the poor?"

Zhou Yan shook his head, "It's not the gap between the rich and the poor, but the all-round information and education. These things are difficult to explain in one or two sentences. You need to spend time to study and observe. It's better to go to the United States."

"I want to go, but I haven't had the chance."

Hearing Wang Zhongyang say this, Zhou Yan was quite surprised.

According to Wang Zhongyang's family conditions, it shouldn't be difficult to attend a summer camp during the summer vacation, or go there directly.

Sometimes, they don't even have to spend money to go abroad.

"Don't worry, you are still young now, it may be better to go in a few years. At that time, you will have more ways to observe the world and have a firmer belief."

"My dad said so too."

"Then listen to Uncle Wang." Zhou Yan smiled.

Wang Zhongyang nodded and asked Zhou Yan, "Are you and Brother Siqi doing business together? I heard them talk about it when they were chatting before."

"We did a little business together."

"Before, Brother Siqi would take us to play, but now he is doing business, he doesn't take us to play anymore."

The Wang family has a good personal relationship with the Huo family. Huo Siqi's father and Wang Zhongyang's father work in the same building. Huo Siqi used to be a kid and really liked to play with the children.

He doesn't play with the children now, not because of the business, after all, the things he plays with are different from the children.

"Your brother Siqi is very focused on his career now."

"I know, I heard that your business is quite big."

"Not bad, what do you want to do when you grow up, do you want to do business?"

Wang Zhongyang shook his head, "I don't want to do business."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to be a diplomat."

Zhou Yan was not surprised to hear that Wang Zhongyang was quite a diplomat. It would be a pity for this kid not to enter politics in the future.

"Then you have to study hard and pass the language test."

"My foreign language is okay."

Wang Zhongyang said it very modestly, but looking at his expression, you can tell that he is very confident in his foreign language skills.

It seems that this kid has already begun to prepare for his goal.

Later, Wang Zhongyang chatted with Wang Zuxian for a while. Zhou Yan originally thought that he would ask Wang Zuxian some questions about Taiwan Island, but what Zhou Yan didn't expect was that Wang Zhongyang never mentioned Taiwan Island from beginning to end.

It was as if he didn't know that Wang Zuxian was from Taiwan at all. The most he could do was ask about things related to Hong Kong.

It is estimated that Wang Zhongyang does not know Wang Zuxian well, so he is relatively cautious when chatting and tries to avoid sensitive topics.

At almost half past six, Chen Lian came out of the kitchen and called them to eat.

"Xiaoyang, stop sitting there and quickly clear the dishes."

With that said, Chen Lian took out another bottle of Luzhou Laojiao from the cabinet and said, "Xiaoyan, my aunt doesn't drink well, so I can only drink a little with you."

Zhou Yan quickly stopped her from opening the bottle, "Aunt Chen, don't open the wine. We are not outsiders. We had a snowball fight with Zhongyang and the others in the afternoon, and now I am getting hungry. You have cooked this table of dishes again, so we can keep our feet on the ground." Have a real meal.”

"That's okay. It's not easy for you to come home."

Wang Zhongyang next to him said with a smile, "How about I have a drink with Third Brother?"

Chen Lian rolled her eyes at her son and said, "Go, go, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Yan took the wine bottle from Chen Lian's hand and sent it to the kitchen, "Aunt Chen, listen to me, let's have a solid meal tonight."

Chen Lian didn't drink much herself. When she saw Zhou Yan snatching away all the wine, she said, "Okay, next time you come home, I'll ask your Uncle Wang to have a drink with you."

"I should be the one drinking with Uncle Wang."

"Okay, okay, you drink with him. If he knows that you are going to drink with him, he will be extremely happy."

Zhou Yan thought he had escaped the drinking tonight and could have a good meal, but within five minutes of them picking up the bowls, the door to their home was pushed open.

"What did you cook today? It's so delicious."

Wang Junhua walked in with a smile. When he saw Zhou Yan and the others, he was stunned for a moment. Soon he greeted Zhou Yan with a smile, "Zhou Yan is here."

Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian stood up quickly.

"Uncle Wang, you're back."

Wang Junhua glanced at Wang Zuxian with a little surprise in his eyes. He quickly looked at his wife and then said, "Why didn't Zhou Yan tell me when he came home?"

"Aunt Chen said she wanted to call you, but I stopped her. We met Zhong Yang in the small park today, and he brought us back without saying anything in advance, so there is no need to disturb your work." Zhou Yanxiao explained. The work of the Institutional Affairs Management Office is quite specific. It is mainly responsible for the administrative affairs management and logistical support services of the Central Office Building, the Municipal Government Building and No. 8 Huaibaishu Street Beili.

It's snowing heavily, so their unit will definitely be busier at work.

Wang Junhua waved his hand, "We are not really busy, so we came back quite early tonight. If I had known you were coming, I would have come right back after get off work."

Only then did he look at Wang Zuxian, "Who is this?"

Wang Zuxian took the initiative to introduce himself, "Uncle Wang, I am Wang Zuxian."

In fact, Wang Junhua had already recognized Wang Zuxian, but he was a little unsure. Now when Wang Zuxian introduced himself, he smiled and nodded, "Hello, hello."

Wang Junhua was not too surprised when Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian appeared together.

He knew that his nephew was a great director and had collaborated with Joey Wong. A new movie they collaborated with was about to be released recently.

But he was not sure why Zhou Yan brought Wang Zuxian to their home. Was it because they were in love?

In this situation, Wang Junhua couldn't ask questions. He took off his coat, walked to the dining table, glanced at the table, and when he saw that there was no wine, he frowned and said, "Why, I didn't drink."

Chen Lian smiled and said, "If you weren't at home, who would drink with Xiaoyan? So I took them all out and put them back for him."

"Where's the wine?"

"There's a bottle on the kitchen countertop, and the others are in the cupboard."

After hearing this, Wang Junhua turned around and walked to the kitchen. Then he took out the bottle of Luzhou Laojiao, and then started pouring wine for Zhou Yan without any explanation.

"You kid, it's hard for you to come here, why don't you drink some wine?"

After pouring the wine for Zhou Yan, he looked at Wang Zuxian again, "Miss Wang, are you drinking?"

Wang Zuxian waved his hands repeatedly, "You're welcome, uncle, I don't drink, just call me Xiaoxian."

"Okay, then I won't pour it for you. You can have some drinks. You're welcome here."

Then he poured himself another glass. Without eating a bite of the food, he raised the glass and said, "Come on, let's not drink too much. Let's drink half of it first."

Zhou Yan looked at the cup in his hand. This cup had to be two or three taels.

He had never drank with Wang Junhua and had no idea what kind of drinker Wang Junhua was.

"Uncle Wang, I can't drink enough. I can't drink so much."

"Don't talk nonsense. I know my uncle's drinking capacity. No one in your Zhou family has a bad drinking capacity, including your father and my second brother, who can drink a pound and a half."

Zhou Yan curled his lips secretly. His father's drinking capacity was about the same as him, so how could he drink a pound and a half?

Looking at Wang Junhua's alcohol tolerance, he seems to be able to drink one and a half kilograms.

"Come on, drink more at the first sip, let me warm up, and then we will drink slowly."

Zhou Yan could only drink half a glass of wine.

After the first sip, Zhou Yan was about to sit down and pick up some food to moisten his throat. The wine was too spicy, but Wang Junhua held the wine glass but did not sit down, so he could not sit down.

Wang Junhua held the wine glass, looked at Wang Zuxian, and smiled, "Xiaoxian, welcome to be my guest. I won't say polite words. I'll toast you."

Wang Zuxian quickly stood up with the water glass, "Uncle Wang, I'm drinking a beverage."

"It's okay, let Zhou Yan accompany one. Come on, Zhou Yan, let's drink together, and the female comrades can do whatever they want."

"Uncle Wang, your hasty march is too powerful."

"Haha, you're just here, and you're already marching." Wang Junhua smiled and drank the rest of the wine in the glass directly.

Zhou Yan had no choice but to drink the wine in his glass.

As soon as he finished drinking, Wang Junhua had already brought the wine pot to him and poured wine for him.

Zhou Yan's alcohol tolerance was not bad, but after drinking two or three taels of wine in one breath, he was already a little drunk.

Later, Wang Junhua did not slow down the progress. In just ten minutes, he took Zhou Yan to drink two and a half glasses.

It can be seen that Wang Junhua's alcohol tolerance is really good. He didn't have any reaction after drinking so much wine without eating a few bites of food.

Zhou Yan, on the other hand, was already a little bit overwhelmed.

At this time, Wang Junhua began to slow down and chatted with Zhou Yan while drinking.

Perhaps he also saw that Zhou Yan's alcohol tolerance was about the same, and he couldn't drink much more.

Wang Junhua's purpose was not to drink Zhou Yan blacked out. Seeing that it was almost done, he naturally stopped the intensity.

When Zhou Yan left Wang's house, he couldn't stand steadily on the road, and had to be supported by Wang Zuxian.

Looking at the backs of Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian, Wang Junhua said with a smile, "See, it's revealed after drinking a little bit of wine. They must be dating."

Wang Zhongyang said beside him, "Dad, you let the third brother drink so much wine just to test their relationship."

"Not really, it's just a coincidence."

"If you want to know, just ask directly."

"You kid is still naive. If we ask, he can tell us directly?"

"Of course, the third brother told me when we were in the park. That's my third sister-in-law."

Wang Junhua patted his son's head, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I didn't have a chance to say it either." Wang Zhongyang said aggrievedly.

Chen Lian frowned and said, "Logically, shouldn't you give her a red envelope? It's her first time to come home."

Wang Junhua waved his hand, "How can there be such a rule? Besides, Zhou Yan didn't introduce it formally. Next time, find a chance to treat them to a good meal. It was a bit hasty today."

"It's all my fault. I took the initiative to bring the third brother and them back." Wang Zhongyang said.

"Why do you blame me? Since we met him at home, I should invite him back. And you should learn more from him. Your Zhou brothers are all very capable."

"I feel that the eldest brother of the Zhou family is a little playful, and the second brother is not very talkative."

"You can't judge a person by appearance. Zhou Yu seems to be unruly, but he is very skillful in handling things. When he was the deputy director of the newspaper office, he was already able to control half of the newspaper. The key is that the leaders are not afraid of him. Whether it is management downward or upward, he does a good job. I just want to ask you, you only know that Zhou Yu likes to play, but have you heard any bad words about him behind his back?"

Wang Zhongyang thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "No, the elders seem to have a good evaluation of him."

"What about Zhou Hong, have you heard others say bad things about him?"

"It seems that there is no one. It seems that everyone doesn't talk about the second brother much, especially after the third brother became famous, there are even fewer people talking about the second brother."

"But your second brother's business is worth hundreds of millions, and many people don't know."

"So many!" Wang Zhongyang was surprised.

"Among the brothers and sisters of this generation of Zhou family, the second one is the most thoughtful. He always does things quietly."

"Is Sister Qing the most innocent?" Wang Zhongyang suddenly asked.

Wang Junhua glanced at his son and said with a smile, "As for Xiaojiu of their family, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know what she looks like now."

"Sister Qing is so tall now."

Seeing the light in his son's eyes, Wang Junhua smiled without saying a word, tightened his clothes, and turned to walk in.

Chen Lian also glanced at her son and sighed secretly. Her son was so smart, but he didn't expect that he was still controlled by Xiaojiu of the Zhou family.
