Chapter 1192 Tu Yue
Sister-in-law Shen said, "Now is not the time to talk about you. Now we are talking about Yingying's admission notice. You two should take a good look at it, share in the joy, have more good luck, and encourage yourselves so that you can also get into a good university next year."
Shen Baozhu said with great confidence, "Mom, don't worry. Even if I don't get into the best university, the school I get into will definitely be good."
Sister-in-law Shen was quite pleased: "Then I'll be waiting to hear your good news."
Second Sister-in-law Shen patted Shen Zhenzhu on the shoulder: "You should take a look at Yingying's workbooks and test papers more often, fill in the gaps in your knowledge, and try to do better on the test."
Shen Zhenzhu said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm sure I'll get into a good university."
Sister-in-law Shen smiled and said, "Then you should try your best."
Shen Zhenzhu clenched her fist: "Absolutely."
With the acceptance letter in hand, Shen Yingying's admission to Beijing University was officially confirmed. The whole family was overjoyed, and Liu Juan and Shen Dong booked a private room at a Sichuan restaurant that evening for a family celebration.
……
Time flies, and the eve of the competition is fast approaching.
Qin Zizhou and Shen Xuening packed their luggage together, preparing to fly to G City the next day.
Just as I finished packing my luggage, Madam Qin called: "Zizhou, when are you arriving in G City? Your grandfather and I have been there for two days already."
Qin Zizhou asked in surprise, "You've been out having fun for two days already? Why didn't you tell me?"
Madam Qin laughed and said, "I don't want to interfere with your relationship with Xue Ning, haha."
Qin Zizhou said, "Xue Ning and I are coming to G City tomorrow. Grandma, please send me the address, and we'll come directly over tomorrow."
"Okay." Old Madam Qin hung up the phone and then sent the address to Qin Zizhou.
Qin Zizhou said to Shen Xuening, "Grandpa and Grandma have already gone to G City, probably to cheer you up. We'll go there tomorrow to see them directly. Do you have any other ideas?"
Shen Xuening shook her head: "No, we'll just go directly there. It's just that we feel bad for making Grandpa and Grandma go through all that trouble."
Qin Zizhou comforted them, "What's the big deal? They naturally enjoy traveling around. Your participation in the competition is just giving them an excuse to travel."
Shen Xuening said, "Anyway, we shouldn't let Grandpa and Grandma suffer."
Qin Zizhou said, "Don't worry, they know what they're doing, and their health is much better than before, so they have no pressure when they go out to play. Don't worry."
Shen Xuening nodded: "That's fine then."
After packing their luggage, the two went to bed early.
The next day, Shen Baohong drove the two to the airport, where they boarded the plane smoothly and flew to G City.
Surprisingly, Mr. Qin actually drove to the airport with Mrs. Qin to pick them up. Yes, Mr. Qin drove himself. He's almost seventy years old, but he drives quite steadily.
"Grandpa, you're driving yourself?" Qin Zizhou was clearly both worried and surprised.
"Judging from your tone, you don't believe Grandpa can drive?" Old Master Qin looked at Qin Zizhou and gave a soft snort.
"I didn't mean that. I just think you're too old to drive; it's quite dangerous," Qin Zizhou quickly explained. He was most worried about his grandfather getting angry.
"You brat, don't think that just because you're married you can't be disciplined by Grandpa. Get in the car, we're going home." Old Master Qin pointed to the back.
"Grandpa, let me drive," Qin Zizhou said, still worried.
"I want to drive myself today, and sit in the back." Old Master Qin refused to give up his seat and insisted on driving himself.
Qin Zizhou tugged at Shen Xuening's hand, asking her to persuade her.
Shen Xuening was also quite worried, so she advised, "Grandpa, why don't you let Zizhou drive? Everyone is traveling now, and there are a lot of cars on the road. If you want to drive, we can accompany you out to drive this afternoon."
Grandpa Qin still gave Shen Xuening face: "Since my granddaughter-in-law has spoken, then this old man will give you the seat."
As he spoke, he got out of the driver's seat and sat in the back.
He went to the back, and Old Madam Qin followed suit, giving the passenger seat to Shen Xuening.
The four got into the car, and Qin Zizhou drove it back.
Old Master Qin lived in a villa in the city center. Everything was arranged by the butler, and the servants accompanied him. They didn't have to worry about anything.
The room had been prepared in advance. It was almost noon, so Qin Zizhou and Shen Xuening took their luggage to the room and prepared to rest for a while before going down for lunch.
Shen Xuening exclaimed, "Zizhou, I never expected Grandpa could drive."
Qin Zizhou said with a smile, "Then you underestimate Grandpa. Grandpa could drive when he was young, but now that he's older and has a personal driver, he rarely drives."
Shen Xuening said sincerely, "The old man is very capable."
Qin Zizhou agreed, "That's true. We can't underestimate Grandpa."
……
Because G City was going to hold an embroidery competition, in addition to the participants, there were many people who were interested in traditional crafts. As a result, many people came to G City, and G City became lively.
Chi Hong was also one of the participants, but he came alone. Because it was a boy learning embroidery, the people around him couldn't understand it and therefore distanced themselves from him.
He was not discouraged by this; instead, he was determined to achieve something, and this competition was an opportunity to prove his strength.
He is only twenty-five years old this year and has been learning embroidery for five years. He is quite talented and has a good teacher, but the teacher is not in good health and therefore did not come with him.
Chi Hong stood on the unfamiliar street, looked around, and secretly cheered herself up. She was determined to achieve good results in this embroidery competition and impress everyone around her.
He hailed a taxi and went to the apartment he had booked.
……
Shen Xuening received a call from her college classmate Tu Yue, which surprised her greatly.
Tu Yue was her college roommate, but she rarely stayed in the dorm, so she wasn't very familiar with Tu Yue. It was really surprising that Tu Yue called her now.
Shen Xuening asked, "Tu Yue, are you from G City?"
Tu Yue deliberately feigned dissatisfaction: "Yeah, you didn't just find out now, did you? We were college classmates, are you just going to ignore me like this?"
Shen Xuening smiled gently to ease the awkwardness: "No, definitely not, it's just that it doesn't involve these things, so I don't know."
Tu Yue wasn't really angry. She smiled and said, "I understand. You're all from City A. How could we, from other provinces, possibly catch your eye? It's good that you still remember me."
Shen Xuening said, "That's a serious statement. In our eyes, we are all the same."
Tu Yue was just joking, so she quickly changed the subject: "Okay, I'm not going to argue with you about this anymore. Do you know how I found out you were in G City?"
Shen Xuening then said, "That's exactly what I was going to ask you."
Tu Yue said, "Qianwen told me. I went to City A for tourism a few days ago and visited her hot spring resort. She mentioned it to me."
Shen Xuening asked, "Then why did you call me...?"
Tu Yue was quite enthusiastic: "Of course it's to show hospitality. I'm from G City, and as your classmate, how could I pretend not to know you've come to G City?"
Shen Xuening is also a person who understands interpersonal relationships. She also wants to expand her business to G City, so having connections here is the best thing: "Would you like to have a meal together?"
Tu Yue answered without hesitation, "Sure, there's a really delicious pork tripe and chicken soup restaurant in G City, shall I take you there?"
Shen Xuening glanced at Qin Zizhou beside her: "Zizhou is with me, can I bring him along?"
Tu Yue asked curiously, "Are you two together?"
Shen Xuening said, "We are already married."
Tu Yue was immediately excited: "My God, you two actually got married! This is so unexpected! I have to take you, I want to see you two, this perfect couple, with my own eyes."
Shen Xuening said, "Then I'll bring him along."
Tu Yue replied repeatedly, "Okay, okay, no problem. You guys really surprised me."
The two talked for a while longer before hanging up.
Qin Zizhou asked, "Are you very familiar with this Tu Yue?"
"We're not close." Shen Xuening shook her head. "But they invited me, and I'm free now, so I'll definitely go. After all, we're classmates."
"That's true." Qin Zizhou nodded in agreement.
Shen Xuening turned to look at Qin Zizhou: "They invited you to come with me, wanting to see us, this golden couple. Are you going to satisfy their curiosity?"
Qin Zizhou's vanity as a man was satisfied, so he said, "They praised us so much, we have to show off. Just wait, I'll definitely make them envious of you tomorrow."
Shen Xuening cautioned, "Don't be too flashy; he might still be single."
"Understood." Qin Zizhou then went out.
……
Qin Zizhou returned two hours later. Shen Xuening blinked when she saw him and asked, "Did you go to dye your hair?"
"Yeah, how about it, handsome, right?" Qin Zizhou gently smoothed his hair, showing it off to Shen Xuening with a touch of narcissism.
"Handsome, he looks like a young college student." Shen Xuening was also very supportive, praising him enthusiastically.
"You like the older man type?" Qin Zizhou asked, a little jealous.
"No, I meant to compliment your good looks. Think about it, how old are you? You still look like a young heartthrob. It's so enviable," Shen Xuening quickly said.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to find some clothes." Qin Zizhou went to open the wardrobe and start picking out clothes.
Shen Xuening took out her embroidery and began practicing silently. The purpose of this trip was an embroidery competition, not a contest of beauty or handsomeness.
Seeing that Shen Xuening had entered a state of study, Qin Zizhou became quieter. The competition was about to begin, and he wondered when Xuening would start her competition.
Thinking about it, he took out his computer to check the match situation.
Upon checking, I saw that Shen Xuening's competition date was August 1st, which was the first day of the competition. It was only one day away from now, and I felt quite nervous.
Qin Zizhou glanced at Shen Xuening. The competition was being held simultaneously. Each participant was given a picture and had to embroider according to the picture. Whoever embroidered the best would rank higher.
There are ten judges during the competition, with a maximum score of ten. Each judge scores the contestant individually. When calculating the scores, the highest and lowest scores are discarded, and the average of the remaining scores is taken. This average is the contestant's score.
The higher the score, the higher the ranking, and the scoring is anonymous, which prevents cheating.
Qin Zizhou thoroughly studied the competition rules and then explained them to Shen Xuening.
After hearing this, Shen Xuening understood without having to look it up herself.
……
The day before the competition, Shen Xuening took Qin Zizhou to meet Tu Yue at the restaurant. The restaurant was quite close to where they were staying, and they could walk there.
Seeing the two of them walking over, Tu Yue couldn't help but ask, "Do you two live around here?"
Shen Xuening replied, "Yes, it's not far, it only took a few minutes to walk there."
Tu Yue greeted them warmly: "It seems I made the right choice in choosing this restaurant. Come, please sit down. Today it's my treat, so you can experience the hospitality of the people of G City."
The three of them ordered their food and then chatted while eating snacks.
Tu Yue looked at Shen Xuening, then at Qin Zizhou: "I used to think that Young Master Qin was very aloof, like a flower on a high mountain, with so many people writing love letters to him. I never expected that he would be won over by our class beauty in the end. Xuening, congratulations!"
Shen Xuening smiled faintly: "You said that a lot of people wrote love letters to Zizhou when he was in college?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zizhou sensed something was off about the tone and quickly grasped Shen Xuening's hand, saying, "No, not a single one. I wrote a letter to you, but you're really aloof and wouldn't accept it at all. You had it returned directly to me."
Shen Xuening recalled the incident: "Did I?"
Tu Yue raised her hand: "I can testify that there is a love letter on the desk in the dormitory. We told you that you asked us to take the letter back to the person who delivered it."
Shen Xuening didn't dare look at Qin Zizhou: "Me...did I? I don't think I remember."
Qin Zizhou immediately seized the opportunity: "So, did a lot of people write you love letters in college, and then you forgot about me?"
Shen Xuening flipped her hand and intertwined her fingers with Qin Zizhou's: "That's not true, I never look at those things."
Tu Yue raised her hand again: "I can testify to this. Xue Ning's love letters were all returned. She didn't even read a single one. She acts like a spoiled young lady all day long, playing around as she pleases."
Thinking back to her college days, Shen Xuening felt like a bit of a hoodlum: "Let's not talk about my past embarrassing history. I'm married now, it's too embarrassing to bring it up again."
Tu Yue laughed heartily: "I didn't expect your personality to have changed so much in just a few years."
Shen Xuening said, "People always have to grow up, and they will definitely change when they grow up."
"That's true." Tu Yue poured tea for Shen Xuening. "Xuening, I heard you went back to your hometown to start a business? What are you doing?"
"Make short videos." Shen Xuening took out her phone and showed Tu Yue her video account.
Tu Yue exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to become a blogger! Judging by your number of followers, you must be the number one blogger by now!"
Shen Xuening humbly replied, "It's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. We still have to work hard."
Tu Yue followed Shen Xuening's video account: "From now on, I'm your little fan too."
Shen Xuening seized the opportunity and said, "I founded a company called Xifulai. You can cooperate with me. My products will not disappoint you."
