Bringing Along a Ball and Hiding from Foreign Devils
Chapter 6
Ren Zhouyuan was taken to Leonid's office. There were only him and Leonid in the large office, and the secretary was nowhere to be seen. The two of them looked at each other, but no one spoke first. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ren Zhouyuan and Leonid sat opposite each other, separated by a large desk. Ren Zhouyuan didn't know if it was because he didn't want to show his cowardice, but he kept looking into Leonid's eyes. It was only now that he saw the person in his memory clearly.
The person in front of him overlapped with the person in his memory. This person had golden brown hair and prominent facial features. Except for the pair of sapphire-like eyes, his appearance was almost the same as Anan's. Even the curvature of his lips, which were always tightly pursed, was surprisingly similar. The only difference was that Anan seemed to smile a little more than him.
Ren Zhouyuan remembered the first time they met, and the atmosphere was similar to this.
The first time they met, he was asked by the fat guy to act as a Russian translator.
At that time, the fat guy joined the student union in order to pursue the goddess, and the student union was going to hold a "Chinese bridge" in school. For this, the fat guy was asked by the goddess to find outside help, and the result was that they really found an "outside" help.
Unfortunately, this outside help couldn't speak Chinese, and couldn't even communicate in English. The fat guy and the others were confused and confused, and with exaggerated body language, they finally had to rely on the powerful dog to translate, and then they realized that he was speaking Russian.
Ren Zhouyuan didn't have a good impression of Russia. When he first entered the university, he was scolded by a senior in the Russian Department, who insinuated that they were learning Chinese in the same place, and didn't know what else to learn after so many years. On the other hand, learning Russian was a challenge every day. The grammar was difficult, pronunciation was difficult, and everything was difficult. Chinese was simply incomparable to them.
Ren Zhouyuan was angry when he heard this. He loved Chinese the most since he was a child, and he thought that Chinese was good in everything, grammar, pronunciation, everything was good. If you threw an oracle bone script, it would be enough for you to play with for a lifetime. No foreign language could be compared with the profound Chinese language.
So he spent a semester to learn the difficult Russian language by himself. When he met the senior again, he directly translated the ancient poem into Russian and threw it in his face, which made the senior speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only say that he was impressed.
This incident greatly made the Chinese Department proud, and Ren Zhouyuan became famous in the department. So when the fat guy knew that Ren Zhouyuan was a Russian friend, he first thought of Ren Zhouyuan.
Although Ren Zhouyuan didn't want to go, he really didn't have a good impression of those chauvinist pigs. But he owed the fat guy a favor before, so he couldn't refuse. He just thought of it as returning the favor, and went to have a meal with the fat guy and acted as a translator.
Who knew that when they first met, the people who came with Leonid were not acclimatized to the place, or their stomachs were too clean and they were not used to Chinese food. The night before yesterday, they vomited and had diarrhea. In the end, only Leonid, who was as strong as a bear, attended the meeting alone.
The fat guy, who had an appointment with him, was called away by the goddess in the afternoon. He had to serve the goddess well before he could rush over. So in the end, the whole room was only left with Leonid and Ren Zhouyuan.
The scene of the two of them looking at each other across the table overlapped with the scene now.
He thought that he had forgotten these old things, but he didn't expect that just sitting in front of this man would make him recall so many memories.
"I didn't read your interview article, but Luo En said that you did well, so I wanted to meet you in person." Leonid, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
It wasn't English, and it couldn't be Chinese. When he opened his mouth, it was still the familiar Russian.
Ren Zhouyuan paused for a moment, straightened his back subconsciously.
He sat there and waited for a long time. He thought that the secretary would come in with a cup of tea, but he didn't expect that the secretary didn't come back until Leonid spoke.
When Leonid said Luo En, Ren Zhouyuan guessed that he was probably talking about the secretary.
Ren Zhouyuan hadn't spoken Russian for a long time, so he stuttered a few words before he slowly got the feeling of speaking.
He thought for a moment and replied, "I have learned about Wei Qi on the Internet before. Combined with today's exam, I guess that I will be publishing an article in the future to pave the way for Wei Qi to enter the China market?"
Leonid kept staring at his face. Like all foreigners, although he was indifferent, he gave full respect to the person he was talking to.
When he heard what he said, Leonid nodded expressionlessly. "You are the only one in charge of this job in the whole company, so you are very important."
When Ren Zhouyuan heard what he said, his heart inexplicably stirred, and his face was a little hot. If those words were said so seriously in a different context, anyone would be tempted.
But he knew that he was just a stranger to the man in front of him now. He twisted his waist to hide his discomfort, pondered the meaning of his words, and felt a little strange. "Only me?"
"Yes."
He tapped his fingers on the table twice. "We haven't been able to find the right person for this position, or rather, not many people have applied for this position, no matter how high the price we offer."
His face was still indifferent, but Ren Zhouyuan could feel a little impatience, as if he was implying that his subordinates were not doing a good job.
The scene when they met again was much better than Ren Zhouyuan had imagined. Leonid told him a lot about the future direction of the company, which gave him a better understanding of the future work.
Before leaving, Leonid took the initiative to shake hands with him. The moment their skin touched, Ren Zhouyuan's heart unconsciously beat faster. But when he saw Leonid casually withdraw his right hand and put it behind his back, he shook his head with a wry smile in his heart.
Ren Zhouyuan lost his job and accidentally found that he no longer needed to hide from the person he had been hiding from for several years. Although there was a little bitterness in his heart, he was more happy at this time. He didn't want to waste a second, so he went to the kindergarten early to pick up Anan and take him to a restaurant to celebrate.
When Anan saw that his father came to pick him up in advance, he was so happy that he skipped all the way. He forgot about the awkwardness he had for several days and made up with Ren Zhouyuan in an instant.
Ren Zhouyuan thought about it and called Fan Wenfeng. Sure enough, when he told him the good news, Fan Wenfeng was even happier than he was, which made him feel that he had made the right decision this time.
After a happy celebration, when they returned home, Ren Zhouyuan urged Anan to take a bath. Anan, who had been angry with his father for several days, clung to his father all night long. Ren Zhouyuan had no choice but to accompany him to take a bath.
They sat in the bathtub. Anan nestled in Ren Zhouyuan's arms and quietly played with the water. After a while, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Dad, why are we going out for dinner today?"
"To celebrate dad's finding a job. Didn't dad say that?" Ren Zhouyuan licked Anan's nose and thought that his son's red nose was very cute.
"But dad, didn't you find a job before?" Anan's logic was very clear.
Ren Zhouyuan was surprised by his sudden question. He was so focused on celebrating that he didn't think about this question. He didn't see Anan asking him the whole night. He didn't expect that Anan would suddenly ask him when they were alone.
He thought about it and shamelessly lied, "But Uncle Wen Feng was busy before. He only had time tonight. Uncle Wen Feng helped dad find this job, so dad had to stay until today to have dinner with him."
"Daddy," An 'an suddenly called out. Then, she lowered her head and muttered something.
"Hmm?" Ren Zhouyuan moved closer to him. "Dad can't hear what Anan said."
Anan suddenly hugged Ren Zhouyuan's neck and said sadly, "Uncle Wen Feng … Is Uncle Wen Feng going to be my new dad?"
"What?" Ren Zhouyuan was stunned.
Anan's words contained a lot of information. He had never thought about this question, so he was a little confused.
The first thing that came to his mind was why Uncle Wen Feng was his father.
He had never told Anan that he was the one who gave birth to him, whether it was "wife" or "husband". Ever since Anan was born, he had never instilled these ideas in him, or deliberately blurred these ideas.
Although he had had some disputes with the members of the archeological team, Anan was still very young at that time, so he didn't think that he had given himself away. So when Anan asked if Fan Wenfeng was going to be his "dad", he felt that Anan must be imagining things.
But this was not the most important thing. After all, he could be considered as Anan's half "mom". But the question now was, why Fan Wenfeng?
"Anan, why do you think so?
Uncle Wen Feng is just dad's good friend. "
Anan twisted his body, but he still didn't let go of Ren Zhouyuan's neck. He buried his head in Ren Zhouyuan's neck so that Ren Zhouyuan couldn't see his expression. "Dad, you're lying!
Uncle Wen Feng obviously likes you, I know it! "
Ren Zhouyuan was a little speechless. What kind of "like" was a child talking about?
But he soon knew what kind of "like" it was.
"He kept putting food on your plate tonight, and he even scooped soup for you!
He kept smiling at you, and he even put meat on your plate! "
Ren Zhouyuan was a little bit dumbfounded. This kind of "like" was really … profound.
"Anan," he pulled away Anan's little arms from his neck, turned his pouting little face to him, and said earnestly, "Dad and Uncle Wen Feng are good friends. When we were living the hardest time, Uncle Wen Feng helped dad a lot. My relationship with him is like, like …"
He couldn't find an example at the moment, so he had to ask Anan, "Who is the best friend of Anan in the kindergarten?"
"Anan doesn't make friends with them," he answered proudly.
Ren Zhouyuan was sweating because of his answer, and he felt that there was something wrong with his education. He put aside the fact that Anan didn't want to make friends with others, and prioritized solving the misunderstanding about Fan Wen Feng. "Uncle Wen Feng is like dad's brother. He helps dad with the food because dad is busy taking care of you, and he's afraid that dad won't have any food to eat when Anan finishes eating."
"Then," Anan seemed to believe his words, "why does he keep smiling at you? Isn't Anan good-looking?
Why doesn't he look at Anan, but at you? "
Ren Zhouyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle Wen Feng is happy for dad. Uncle Wen Feng helped dad find a job. He's not like the little bad Anan, who's not happy when dad finds a job, and even makes things difficult."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Anan pouted and didn't say anything.
He stole a few glances at Ren Zhouyuan. After a while, he reached out and hugged Ren Zhouyuan, nestled in his arms, and whispered, "Anan is happy for dad."
Ren Zhouyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This little mischievous spirit, he really didn't know what was going on in her head.
