Chapter 265 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite
The two sat in the back row, Gu Jia chatted with Xu Hongmi while observing at the same time.
She would never miss any opportunity to make connections, so she pretended to sigh and said, "I regret it now. This car is too comfortable. My husband and I also liked this car before, but it was too popular and there were no cars in stock. So we chose other brands later."
As she spoke, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.
"This car is indeed very comfortable. It is considered the signature model of Mercedes-Benz. The one my company bought last year took us a while to get, and I only got it through connections." Xu Hongmi nodded in agreement, with a nostalgic look on her face.
Gu Jia's heart moved. Sure enough, he opened a company. Then what about Chen An? Could he be the second generation?
She asked curiously, "Mr. Chen's car looks so new, did you just pick it up?"
Chen An naturally knew Gu Jia's character, and he had no aversion to her actions. A woman who worked hard for a better family was worthy of respect. He smiled and replied, "It's been less than a week."
"Do we still need to queue up and pay a higher price for this car now?" Gu Jia continued to ask, her eyes full of curiosity.
"A friend of mine used his connections to help me get this machine. He added a bit of a price premium, but there's no queue," Chen An said truthfully.
After hearing what Chen An said, Gu Jia agreed very much. It's hard to do anything these days without connections, even buying a luxury bag is the same. Don't even think about buying hot-selling items.
She tried to probe briefly, but felt that it was not appropriate to ask in-depth questions since they had just met, so she changed the topic and started chatting with Xu Hongmi, "Sister Xu, I heard from the teacher that your child's Lingling is very good at drawing, but our Ziyan is not. I can't understand what he draws at all. I don't know if the child has no talent for this or if he has some other skills?"
"There is no special skill. The most important thing is the difference between boys and girls. Boys are more careless and lively, while girls are relatively careful. Science shows that girls mature earlier than boys. Otherwise, there would be no old saying that 'a girl three years older than a man is likely to bring wealth.'" Xu Hongmi said as she looked at Gu Jia with a smile.
Gu Jia half sighed, half jokingly self-deprecatingly said: "Hey, it's not easy to raise a child. In the past, when people met, they would either call her Mrs. Xu or Miss Gu. But since we had a child, only one person calls Zi Yan mom."
Xu Hongmi also felt a little emotional after hearing this. It is absolutely true that one does not know the kindness of parents until one has children.
She nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, but I am much less worried now. It was troublesome when I was a child. On the one hand, I had to work, and on the other hand, I was worried that my aunt would not be able to take good care of me..."
The two girls started talking about their children.
Gu Jia is a very smart woman in some aspects. She heard that Xu Hongmi was busy with work, so she took the initiative to recommend some ways to educate children, such as common problems among children, such as inattention, and also recommended some good educational institutions.
Her eyes were full of sincerity and she gestured constantly while speaking, appearing to be very engaged.
The ride lasted less than half an hour, and the two had a very pleasant chat and exchanged contact information.
Gu Jia thanked Chen An and handed him a business card as well.
The car slowly started to drive away. Xu Hongmi noticed the faint smile on Chen An's face in the rearview mirror and asked curiously, "Xiao Chen, what do you think of Gu Jia just now?"
Chen An smiled and joked, "Sister Hongmi, why do you always give me tests?"
"What exam? It's just a casual chat." Xu Hongmi was a little embarrassed, her cheeks slightly red.
"Hmm." Chen An hesitated for a moment and said, "From the conversation and contact just now, this Ms. Gu is a relatively self-disciplined, sociable, family-oriented, and smart woman who values education."
Xu Hongmi smiled. Her opinion was similar to hers, but she still asked with interest, "Why do you think so?"
Before Chen An could answer, Lingling couldn't help but mutter, "Mom, why do you have so many questions? Do you have a hundred thousand whys?" She wrinkled her nose, looking dissatisfied.
Xu Hongmi rolled her eyes at her daughter in annoyance and said, "Go play with your toys. Don't interrupt the adults when they are chatting."
Little Lingdang snorted proudly and ignored her mother. She took the twelve zodiac figures that Chen An gave her and played with them lovingly, with a happy smile on her face.
Chen An looked at Xu Hongmi's frustrated and helpless expression, and couldn't help but smile and joked, "Sister Hongmi, I don't believe you can't see these, but what makes me more curious is, are you attracted to her?"
"I just feel that if it weren't for her family reasons, Gu Jia would probably be a workplace elite." Xu Hongmi said with a sigh.
After a while, the car stopped steadily in front of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on the Bund. This was the hotel chain of the group where Xu Hongdou worked before.
"I told Hongdou to apply to be transferred here, but she just wouldn't listen." Xu Hongmi frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her words.
"Grandma said that neither you nor aunt is worry-free." Xiao Lingling revealed the truth directly.
"Haha, Lingling is right. None of them is obedient, but Lingling is the best." Chen An couldn't help but laugh, his face full of pampering.
"Uncle-in-law, give me a hug..." Little Lingling stretched out her hands, her eyes full of anticipation, her little face rosy.
"Why do you need a hug in such a hot day..." Xu Hongmi said this with a smile on her face.
Chen An didn't care. He held Little Bell on his arm and said with a smile, "Let's go, Bell, let's go have a big meal..."
"I want to eat strawberry ice cream..." Little Bell shouted excitedly.
"No problem, your mother's treating us today, so we should eat more..." Chen An responded, striding forward with little bell in his arms.
"Let's eat more. I want to order two..."
Xu Hongmi felt somewhat helpless when she saw her daughter's happy face, and there was more of a sense of frustration in her eyes.
If she had listened to her parents' arrangements, she might have a very warm family now, and Lingling wouldn't lack fatherly love so much. But it can be seen that Xiao Chen really likes children, so Hongdou will be blessed in the future... She shook her head, threw away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and quickly followed.
