Return To 1977 Chapter 1008: Girlfriend

If there is a New Year’s Eve dinner in this world that is more tasteless than the swallow-finned abalone delivered by the hotel.
Maybe it’s the New Year’s Eve dinner in a foreign country.
Grilled glutinous rice bran, fried fish, eel, cockles, jellyfish head, white chopped chicken, braised pork, fried shrimp in oil, grass circle, sweet and sour short ribs, lard eight-treasure rice, family portrait, egg dumplings, spring rolls, wine-filled dumplings... …
These sweet Shanghainese dishes, despite the excellent cooking techniques, are dazzlingly displayed on a round table.
But eating it in Xuan Ye’s mouth is far less enjoyable than the Qian family.
To be honest, it's not even as delicious as when she used to have a simple meal of sticky bean buns dipped in sugar or just pickles from her mother's home in the capital.
The only "sauerkraut dumplings" that my mother can make are the delicacies that she longs for now.
Because this is not just a matter of taste habits developed since childhood.
It is also the emotional rebound caused by the feeling of missing family members even more during the festive season, coupled with the loneliness of being dependent on others.
But what can be done?
Not to mention leaving Beijing and coming to Shanghai was her own active choice.
Even if she went back to celebrate the New Year or stayed in the capital, her home would be the same. Most of the time, she would only have the nanny Aunt Zhou to accompany her.
Because of her special family attributes, it is difficult for her to enjoy the happiness of being reunited at home like ordinary people's children.
There is no doubt that her father, as the minister of the "General Logistics Department", is the busiest at this time.
Many troops across the country need him to visit and inspect.
Even my mother, as the minister’s wife, has to accompany me.
For them, celebrating the New Year has always been a hard job, and most of them have to be spent on military planes flying to the border
Only in the second and third grades of junior high school can this kind of running around be ended.
But after returning to Beijing, I would continue to attend various receptions and cocktail parties, so where would I have time to spend with her?
Often she can only satisfy her gluttony with the specialties she brings back from various places.
As for her brothers, almost all of them are ambitious political animals.
Once you leave the house, you don’t want to come back.
No matter whether one has a family or not, there has never been much interest in getting together to celebrate the New Year.
Even if she comes back once in a while, the chat is limited to discussing national affairs and work, making it impossible for her to interrupt even if she wants to.
Besides, they won't just stay at home.
I will definitely put my time and energy into visiting relatives and friends in high positions in the Ye family.
Speaking of which, they still remember her as their little sister.
It is no longer easy to send her all kinds of food, toys, clothes and daily necessities from all over the country.
Actually, if it looks like this, Yang Weifan is more like her brother.
Since she came to Shanghai, their contact has not been interrupted.
Yang Weifan not only sent her a lot of things from the capital, but also often called or wrote to ask about her current situation, chat with her about daily life, and talk about the changes in the capital circle.
Even whenever I came to Shanghai for a business trip, no matter how busy I was at work, I would always find time to meet her and have a meal together.
It's a pity that they can't completely speak freely between themselves.
Because Zhou Manna and Hong Yanwu are the intersection of their friendships, if anyone accidentally mentions any one of them.
That is still very embarrassing and hurtful, and the pleasure and ease of getting along will be greatly compromised.
But then again, even so, Yang Weifan's friendship has brought her a lot of benefits.
Because Shanghai is the former territory of the Yang family, the Yang family has much more influence here than the Ye family.
What's more, Yang Weifan himself is also a nationally renowned musical genius, attracting much attention wherever he goes.
From a certain perspective, fame can actually be equated with wealth and power.
This naturally made her take advantage of it.
Once many people discovered that she was getting close to Yang Weifan, they would look high at her and take special care of her.
She even decisively rejected the pursuit of Qian Cheng, the eldest son of Qian, which made Qian Bojun and his wife somewhat unhappy.
They did not neglect her easily. Instead, they heated the water (note: heating) that was rarely used for her.
It cannot but be said that there are factors in this regard at play.
In addition, being alone outside is indeed helpful for a person to mature.
Since she came to Shanghai, she has not only learned to take care of herself, but has even understood many contents in "A Dream of Red Mansions" that she did not understand before.
So, like Lin Daiyu who lived in the Jia family, she understood the need to dress lightly, be simple and keep a low profile.
She began to pay attention not to be in the limelight when it came to material enjoyment.
When getting along with others, we should try our best to be in harmony with the light and no longer show our personal opinions in a flashy manner.
Like this year, she gave the fur coat sent by her eldest brother in the Northeast to Qian Sisi, and she only wore the wool coat given by her third brother.
Then I used the foreign exchange coupons to go to the Friendship Store and buy some foreign goods for Qian Bojun and his wife as New Year gifts.
Finally, he helped Qian Cheng, who was working on the approval process, introduce several connections in the capital.
It was this kind of psychological growth that truly stabilized her position in the Qian family.
At the same time, she also began to stand out at work and have a place.
She is no longer the character who was confused in interpersonal relationships when she first entered the court and was always being arranged for nepotism behind her back.
By relying on the most important secrets in interpersonal communication - giving face and being knowledgeable, she has become someone that her colleagues can't help but get close to and admire, but not jealous of.
This change of sophistication and understanding of others is really not what she originally envisioned for her future.
Sometimes it even causes her some extra troubles.
Take this New Year's Eve for example. After the New Year's Eve dinner, it would be difficult for her to refuse the invitation from brother and sister Qian Cheng and Qian Sisi.
I had to pretend to be happy and go to the dance party at "Shanghai Tower" with them.
Otherwise, this important day will not only ruin other people's interest and hurt their face, but even Qian Bojun and his wife may think too much about it.
But to be honest, she really regretted taking this trip.
Because even though the "Huhai Tower" is the second tallest building in Shanghai, the conditions of the ballroom are quite good.
Not only are there countless drinks and snacks, but the lighting, sound and wooden floors are also all high-end.
There are even some well-known Shanghai-based film actors and blond foreigners who can be seen on site.
But a group of men and women were twisting their butts and shaking their hips in the dazzling lights and enthusiastic music, like a group of demons dancing.
Such a scene was really unacceptable to Xuan Ye, who liked purity, and shocked her greatly.
I bet the dancing and music playing here are the disco that has just become popular due to the Indian movie "Disco Star".
So as soon as she entered the stage, Xuan Ye quickly excused herself from feeling unwell and sat down in her seat.
I asked for a bottle of drink, but refused to get off the stage and dance.
And bigger troubles are yet to come.
Because Qian Cheng and Qian Sisi, brother and sister, were surrounded by a group of their friends as soon as they entered the dance floor.
Everyone stared at Xuan Ye sitting in the seat, asking them for details about her.
"Hey, why are you here? I'm going to force you to buy champagne..."
"Go, go, let's talk about the serious stuff first, okay? Who is the one who came with you? Won't you introduce us?"
"Yes, yes, you invite her over to dance together. I'll buy the champagne, okay?"
Qian Sisi immediately rolled her eyes at them.
"Forget it, let me tell you, don't make any evil ideas as soon as possible. I'm from the capital, you can't climb up..."
The boys who came up immediately reacted with disdain.
"Excuse me, what's so great about the capital? Shanghai is also a municipality directly under the Central Government. What's more, when it comes to economy and foreign style, this place is number one in the country."
"That's right, you want to say that we two are not good, but we still admit it. But who are we, Chen Yang? His father is the third person in Shanghai, and he himself is a great reporter of the "Legal News". It has to be sharp and sharp, even the daughter of the mayor of Beijing is worthy of it."
"Yes, do you want to make a bet? As soon as Xiaoyang takes action, I guarantee to win. To be honest, Chen XX, who acted in the movie, has become a virgin and turned into a woman. Who can escape from our Xiaoyang's tricks? Son?"
This is a bit much. As a result, Qian Cheng also had to stop him.
"Hey, I'm telling you guys, don't do anything idle and ruin my business. This is my future girlfriend, our future sister-in-law. I'm not telling you, don't talk nonsense all day long. Yes. I work in the court. Seriously, it’s just right for you guys. Besides, I’m related to the Yang family, so you all need to think about it yourself..."
This statement worked, and these few were immediately dumbfounded.
As the saying goes, there is no smoke without wind.
Some people like hard things but not soft things, and some people like soft things but not hard things.
Especially for playboys, they often seem to love challenging impossible tasks.
Listen to others about the information they got from the Qian brothers and sisters.
The third comrade in Shanghai named Chen Yang actually became interested in Ye Xuan.
Even Qian Cheng’s face was lost.
He took the initiative to walk up to Xuan Ye, pretended to be a gentleman and took out his press card to introduce himself, and actually started chatting with Xuan Ye.
At this moment, the eyes of those boys who were holding cigarettes and blowing "Marlboro" and "Good Friends" smoke from their mouths were all bright.
No one cared about the embarrassment of Qian Cheng and Qian Sisi anymore and quickly set up a gambling game.
"Hey, hey, hey, win one of the three dances and pay one."
"Win two dances, one pays two..."
"Take it away today, pay five for one..."
But no one expected that Chen Yang would come back in just five minutes.
He also picked up his coat on the seat and announced to everyone in a very solemn manner.
"Stop **** nonsense. I'm telling you, I'm officially going to start a relationship. You all should be civilized, and if anyone dares to say a dirty word, get out of here..."
Following a domineering glare, he turned to stare at the Qian brothers and sisters.
"Sisi, you are not allowed to say a word about my affairs. Do you hear me?"
"And you, Qian Cheng, don't rob me! From now on, this is my girlfriend..."
As he said that, he thrust a gold lighter into the stunned Qian Cheng's hand.
Then under everyone’s surprised eyes, he walked towards Xuan Ye like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
But the most surprising thing was Qian Cheng's reaction.
Even though he was shocked and angry, he opened his mouth for a long time, clenched his hands again and again, but did not really take any action.
For this reason, not to mention others snickering secretly, even Qian Sisi felt an indignant humiliation.
