Chapter 2787 Promotion!
But at this moment, Zhong Xiaoqin felt that she had the upper hand, and she was quite pleased with herself.
But Chen Yu was actually thinking!
Chen Yu felt that over the years, whether he was in school or working, he really didn't have any other friends.
He remembered that when he first started school, some classmates were very enthusiastic about playing with him, and some even offered to ask him for help, but he coldly rejected them all.
Although his indifference successfully prevented those who were greedy from taking advantage of him, it did leave him with a reputation for being cold, resulting in no one wanting to be his friend.
Chen Yu realized that he almost lost such a good wife because of his personality, so he made up his mind to change himself.
So Chen Yu said very seriously, "Xiaoqin, what kind of gifts do you think we should prepare? When asking someone for a favor, we can't just ask without any explanation, so let's ask for their help."
Seeing Chen Yu's troubled look, Zhong Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Alright, Master Wang's family is so well-off, there's no need for us to bring gifts. I'll ask Manni later, and once things are settled, we'll treat them to a nice meal."
Chen Yu wanted to suggest that it would be better to bring a gift, but he was worried that his lack of experience might backfire, so he left it entirely to his wife.
……
Zhong Xiaoqin's approach was very direct and blunt. The next day, as soon as she got to work, she went to Wang Manni and said, "Manni, Director Chen Yu wants his son to learn calligraphy and painting from your husband. Do you think Master Wang has the time and energy to teach another one?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Manni said uncertainly, "It's definitely fine for auditors, but if I want to be taught directly, I'll have to ask around."
Zhong Xiaoqin immediately put her hands together in a praying gesture and said expectantly, "Then I'll have to trouble you. My husband and I have been married for so many years, and this is the first time he's asked someone for a favor. I don't want to discourage him."
You know, that's human nature. If he gets discouraged the first time he tries to test the waters, he'll definitely retreat into his shell and won't dare to stick his head out again.
Wang Manni never expected that Zhong Xiaoqin, who was as gentle as a cat, would describe her husband as a snail. She said in an annoyed tone, "Alright, Chen Yu is a bit awkward in personality, but aren't you two a perfect couple?"
You're just too enthusiastic, charging ahead recklessly; he, on the other hand, is too calm, almost coldly so. The two of you would be perfect if you could combine your strengths.
Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, then said with some admiration, "Manni, how are you so amazing? You saw right through me! I love you so much!"
As she said this, she rushed over and hugged Wang Manni, rubbing against her like a cat.
After Wang Yue finished preparing his things for class in the classroom, he was about to let Wang Manni rest for a bit when he saw the two women being affectionate.
When Zhong Xiaoqin saw Wang Yue, she noticed his strange expression and quickly explained, "Master Wang, um, what? I was so happy that I hugged and scolded Manni, would you believe me?"
At first, Wang Manni didn't turn back, but after hearing Zhong Xiaoqin's words, she quickly pushed Zhong Xiaoqin away. She wanted to explain to Wang Yue, but for a moment she didn't know how to explain.
Seeing how amusing Zhong Xiaoqin was, Wang Yue teased her, saying, "Then do you think I should believe you?" Zhong Xiaoqin originally thought that she was just joking and that Wang Yue would back down gracefully, but now that Wang Yue had said this, she didn't know how to respond.
Wang Manni knew about homosexuality in ancient times and the Wei-Jin period, but she didn't know if there was any such thing as lesbian intimacy.
So, worried that Wang Yue would dislike her, she quickly explained, "Ah Yue, Chen Yu's son, the station director, wants to learn to write and draw from you. I said that accompanying him to study is definitely not a problem, but teaching him step by step may depend on whether you have time. Xiaoqin hugged him out of gratitude. We really have nothing going on."
Seeing how nervous Wang Manni was, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but glance between Wang Yue and Wang Manni. She felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Wang Yue was speechless under Zhong Xiaoqin's adorable gaze, so he simply followed up on Wang Manni's topic and said, "You can be my study companion, and I'll teach you a bit along the way, but as an apprentice, you'll have to wait for an opportunity."
Wang Manni breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wang Yue had let it go, and then said to the silly Zhong Xiaoqin, "Xiaoqin, why don't you hurry up and inform Chen Yu?"
Zhong Xiaoqin then snapped out of her reverie, quickly bowed to Wang Yue, and excitedly said, "Thank you, Brother Wang! Thank you, Manny! I'll go and inform him right away."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed her phone and ran away in a flash. All she could think about was making Chen Yu understand that friends should help each other. It was really wrong of Chen Yu to have armed himself like a fortress before.
After Zhong Xiaoqin left, Wang Manni went to Wang Yue's side and explained again, "Yue, you didn't force me, did you? Xiaoqin and I are friends, but you don't have to force yourself for me."
Wang Yue was just joking with Wang Manni. Seeing that Wang Manni was speaking cautiously, he smiled and said, "When I was an official, I would also inspect private schools and give lectures occasionally, so one or two more wouldn't matter. However, people's greed is limitless. The reason I asked for a certain number was because I was afraid that too many would be sent over at once, and I wouldn't be able to handle it."
Wang Manni then understood Wang Yue's thoughts. She had thought that Wang Yue was trying to make things more valuable by being rare and deliberately whetting people's appetites. It turned out that he was just afraid of trouble!
She remembered Wang Yue's personality!
……
Zhong Xiaoqin had no idea that Wang Manni had been carefully coaxing Wang Yue because of his earlier little joke. After she happily called Chen Yu, she arrogantly said, "Chen Yu, I told you, there are definitely friends who are willing to help. It's not as cautious as you make it sound."
Chen Yu was surprised that Zhong Xiaoqin actually managed to get things done. He felt that he should really try it in the future, even if he encountered setbacks, he could just consider it as a way to screen friends.
He could hear the smugness in Zhong Xiaoqin's voice, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you're right. From now on, our family will listen to you."
Zhong Xiaoqin was overjoyed to see Chen Yu give in so easily. She said happily, "Alright, hurry up and tell your station director this news. I'm busy here too."
After Zhong Xiaoqin hung up the phone, Chen Yu smiled and put his phone away.
