Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1388 Hunting Crime + Fireworks 13

It was another relatively leisurely weekend, and Xu Qin went home for dinner as usual.

In fact, Fu Wenying and Meng Huaijin are both very busy now, so the family tries to get together for dinner on weekends as much as possible, which has become a rare parent-child time.

Xu Qin had been worried that Fu Wenying would hand over another large stack of photos, so she took the initiative to attack Meng Yanchen at the dinner table: "Brother, don't you have any female colleagues in your company that you like?"

"There seem to be more and more highly educated women nowadays, but those who are actually capable seem to be less likely to get married. If you really like someone, you must show your full sincerity and don't let her go."

Fu Wenying and Meng Huaijin's expectant eyes were immediately focused on Meng Yanchen.

Meng Yanchen wiped his mouth and cursed Xu Qin in his heart for being immoral, but he did not intend to shift the blame to someone else. Instead, he continued Xu Qin's words: "You also said that highly educated women nowadays cannot easily consider marriage. Everyone is more concerned about their career development. I am so busy every day. I have to keep an eye on management and be responsible for technology. I can only come back to eat when I have time. How can I have time to think about other things?"

This made sense, so Fu Wenying and Meng Huaijin didn't want to talk about urging them to get married anymore.

However, Meng Huaijin still warned: "You are young and busy with your career, so it is normal to neglect other things. It is indeed not suitable for love and marriage. But as a person who has been through it, Dad always wants to remind you that there are always peaks to climb in your career, and some opportunities missed are difficult to make up for."

After hearing what Meng Huaijin said, Fu Wenying immediately thought of Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin's childhood, and couldn't help but sighed: "Take your father and I for example. When we were young, we both paid more attention to our careers, so we somewhat neglected the growth of you two children."

"Now that I've come to my senses and want to make up for it, you've grown up and the connection with your parents has begun to weaken..."

Xu Qin quickly expressed her opinion: "Mom, you've gone too far. Although it seemed that Mom arranged too much for my brother and me when we were young, my brother and I both knew that it was based on your own experience and hoped that we could have an easier time."

"When it comes to love and marriage, I look forward to a sweet love and a happy marriage, but I also know that for these, I will have to sacrifice part of my career."

"Perhaps it's because I haven't met the person who can make me compromise yet, so even if I am doing unimportant auxiliary work at this stage, I am reluctant to sacrifice it..."

Fu Wenying and Meng Huaijin are both career-oriented people. Even if they don't know the truth about Xu Qin's work, they feel that it is impossible for Xu Qin to sacrifice his career so easily. So the blind date came to an end for the time being. The couple just urged Xu Qin and Meng Yanchen to pay more attention to themselves and pay more attention to love and marriage.

After breakfast, Fu Wenying had to go to the company, and she also had an appointment with a friend, so after confirming that Xu Qin wanted to stay at home to rest, she went out with Meng Huaijin. However, Meng Yanchen was not in a hurry to rush back to the company. He went to Xu Qin to express his grievances about what happened at the dinner table:

"Qinqin, I don't mind being a shield. You should at least let me know in advance so that I can be mentally prepared."

What else could Xu Qin do? She quickly surrendered: "Then I'll treat you to lunch at noon as an apology, okay?"

Meng Yanchen wanted more than just a meal, so he took the opportunity to put forward his request: "I have a business reception tomorrow, why don't you accompany me?"

Xu Qin couldn't help but frowned almost immediately, "Cocktail party? I don't really want to go."

Although he really wanted to go, Meng Yanchen knew that Xu Qin was just politely rejecting him. This was a rare opportunity, so he would not let it go easily. "Our company will have some cooperation with the hospital recently, so the people attending the reception will be either hospital representatives, pharmaceutical companies, or related research institutes. The business atmosphere is not that strong."

Xu Qin was still alert: "Brother, you are not arguing with me because I used you as a shield before, so you arranged a blind date for me as revenge?"

Meng Yanchen had only been thinking about bringing Xu Qin to the cocktail party, but he hadn't expected that there would be many talented young people at the party, especially Han Yan, who was an outstanding young man whose reputation and ability were as good as his!

But since Xu Qin's coming-of-age ceremony, because she had no intention of working for Guokun Group, she did not even show up at the company's annual meetings every year, even though she held shares.

Therefore, the temptation to bring Xu Qin to the cocktail party is temporarily greater than the threat that Han Yan may bring.

Xu Qin really didn't want to attend any cocktail party, so when she saw Meng Yanchen hesitated, she pulled his hand and acted coquettishly to add some bargaining chips to herself: "Oh, brother~"

“I really don’t like that kind of activity~”

Meng Yanchen wanted to agree right away, but his reason still maintained a weak persistence: "But I see that you usually get along well with my friends. I like to take you out to meet her friends. It means that now you need to seriously consider the issue of love and marriage. I think if you are present, some things will be difficult to refuse, so I rarely take you out to parties."

Xu Qin knew that Meng Yanchen had actually been convinced by her, and was just enjoying this kind of closeness, so she simply stepped up her efforts: "Brother is the best——"

"My two tricks are fine for pleasing elders, but they don't work for people of my age. What's more, the nature of my current job is there, so in private I prefer to be more direct and simple."

Xu Qin had said this, and Meng Yanchen hurried down the stairs. "Okay, okay, I just thought that you haven't appeared in front of people for a long time, and there happened to be such an opportunity, so I wanted to take you out for a walk. If you don't like it, forget it, but don't wrong yourself."

But of course they still had to eat lunch together. Meng Yanchen was a man who attached great importance to family. Moreover, after he entered college, he gradually developed different feelings for Xu Qin. Especially because of Xu Qin's premature love incident in her senior year of high school, he completely realized his feelings for Xu Qin. Therefore, as he always attached great importance to family, he always couldn't help but get close to Xu Qin.

Fortunately, Xu Qin chose a local university to attend college, otherwise Meng Yanchen felt that he might not be able to survive that chaotic time.

Now he can face his feelings well.

Xu Qin had no idea that Meng Yanchen had developed different feelings for her, because Meng Yanchen was always a reliable brother in her eyes. Even though they were not related by blood, regardless of whether Xu Qin had recovered her memory or not, she always regarded the three members of the Meng family as her relatives, so she never overstepped the line, nor did she regard Meng Yanchen's closeness as something beyond a family relationship.
