"One is an associate professor of the Department of Physics at Sun Yat-sen University, and the other is an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It's interesting that this young couple would invite me to dinner at such a time!"
After putting down the phone, Ye Chen murmured thoughtfully.
Because it has been a full half month since the last time we met.
And in the past half month, the two sides seemed to have no contact.
Even if it's just exchanging business cards, adding a contact to your phone's address book.
But it seems that they have never even added each other on WeChat.
In such a background, it was obvious that even though Yan Yuan and Qin Xuan had been very enthusiastic due to the matchmaking of Yan Huaili, the top leader of the municipal party committee, it was not difficult to see that deep down, the couple was probably still not very interested in his sudden wealth.
But now, he suddenly took the initiative to invite him to a dinner, which made Ye Chen inevitably ponder subconsciously.
As he thought about it, Ye Chen couldn't help but mutter about the name Qin Xuan again.
The feeling came to me that I had heard it before, but unfortunately it ended up in nothing.
The sun sets.
The cool evening breeze blew in from the balcony.
This also made Jiangzhou, which had been hot for several months, show signs of jumping directly from summer to winter.
6:30 pm.
Five dishes and one soup, the house is filled with fragrance.
While Ye Chen took off his apron.
The door with the electronic fingerprint lock made an unlocking sound.
Chen Yinuo and Ye Youyou walked in with Yan Yuan, Qin Xuan and their family of three, all smiling.
"Sister Shiwen, I told my parents that you are really good at playing the piano. Can you play a song for them later?"
Ye Youyou, who was holding hands with Yan Yuan's daughter Qin Shiwen, said in a baby voice as soon as she entered the door.
"Great! But I'm not that great. I just passed the Central Conservatory of Music's eighth grade exam not long ago. I heard that there is a little sister who is younger than me. She passed the Central Conservatory of Music's ninth grade exam at the age of five, and also passed the eighth grade of the Emperor's English Examination. Not only is she the youngest to pass this exam in the country, she is also the youngest to pass this exam in the world!" Qin Shiwen shook her head seriously.
Little did they know that this made Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo, who were about to greet Yan Yuan and Qin Xuan, stunned.
Qin Shiwen was only about five or six years old.
He has already passed the eighth grade piano exam of the Central Conservatory of Music? So he is a piano genius?
For no reason.
Memories of Zhen's previous life emerged.
Piano, Qin Shiwen.
Qin Shiwen, piano.
Swish-One
In the previous life, Qin Shiwen, who was well-known both at home and abroad, was called a national treasure, appeared in the global Time magazine many times, attracted global attention and made countless world-class pianists ashamed. Is she the granddaughter of Secretary Yan Huaili? Is she the daughter of Yan Yuan?
Ye Chen couldn't help but twitch his eyes for a moment.
If it weren't for the conversation between these two little girls, he really wouldn't have thought that Qin Shiwen was the world-famous piano queen in her previous life...
Even though Ye Youyou did mention that Miss Shiwen was very good at playing the piano, he didn't think much about it.
After all, he had never checked Qin Shiwen's background in his previous life, so he didn't know that the piano queen was Yan Huaili's granddaughter.
"Sister Yuan, Shiwen has passed the Central Conservatory of Music's Level 8 certificate?" Chen Yinuo asked in surprise.
Yan Yuan touched her daughter's head, nodded and smiled, "Yes, she passed the exam three months ago. This girl has shown talent since she was young, and she also likes piano, so Lao Qin and I wanted to let her walk the piano path. I never thought that she really gave us a surprise!"
"It seems that Shiwen's future is really amazing!" Chen Yinuo couldn't help but sigh.
"It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but Lao Qin and I don't have any requirements for her. Just let her develop naturally!" Yan Yuan said with a smile.
"Professor Yan, Dr. Qin, the food is ready, please take your seats!"
At this time, Ye Chen, who had put away his memories of his past life, also greeted Yan Yuan and Qin Xuan.
"Mr. Ye, please don't address me like that. Professor or doctor, we're already here at your door, and it would be too polite if you still address me like that on the phone!" Yan Yuan said repeatedly.
"It would be strange if I call you professor or doctor, but it would be less strange if you call me Mr. Ye, right?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Well, Lao Qin and I are both older than you. If you don't mind, Mr. Ye, you can call me Sister Yuan and Lao Qin "Lao Zou". As for you, Mr. Ye, well... let's just call you Mr. Ye, hehe..."
Yan Yuan, who was only 34 or 35 years old but had already become an associate professor in the Department of Physics at Sun Yat-sen University, joked without any academic rigidity.
"It doesn't matter what you call me. It's all fine. Let's hurry to the restaurant and take a seat first. I've already put the dishes on the table according to the time you come here!"
No longer being polite or pretentious, Ye Chen laughed.
Then, Yan Yuan and Qin Xuan nodded and smiled in response.
Soon, the family washed their hands and sat on the dining chairs. "My dad said that Mr. Ye's cooking skills are superb. He is a picky eater. After tasting Mr. Ye's cooking skills, he finds the food outside tasteless. Now it seems to be true!
Looking at the five dishes and one soup that were so delicious and looked nothing like what a star chef could prepare, Yan Yuan exclaimed in amazement.
"Sister Yuan, Secretary Yan is flattering me. I can only say that what I cook is quite to his liking!" Ye Chen said with a smile, "Let's not talk about it for now. Start eating first. If it gets cold later, the taste will change!"
"Okay, thank you Mr. Ye for your hospitality. We won't be polite then!"
Accompanied by Yan Yuan's sweet smile.
The restaurant was filled with all kinds of casual conversation and endless praise for Ye Chen's cooking skills.
but.
As for those slightly deeper issues, Yan Yuan and Qin Xuan never spoke up from beginning to end.
In contrast, Ye Chen had no intention of taking the initiative to lead the conversation into deeper topics.
However, although he had no intention of starting a conversation, Ye Chen knew that the arrival of this young couple... was definitely not as simple as getting closer to each other, they must have come for something.
However, if the other party didn't speak, he, who had his own way of dealing with things in two lives, would certainly not take the initiative to ask questions.
And he was so calm and easy-going.
This also refreshed Yan Yuan and Qin Xuan's perception of him. This "upstart" in the eyes of the outside world...
It doesn't seem that simple.
No wonder their father, who is the top leader of Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, respects and praises him so much.
"Dad, Mom, can we come to Youyou's house for dinner more often in the future? Uncle's cooking is so delicious!"
Qin Shiwen smacked her lips and said this after her mother Yan Yuan stopped her from eating too much.
"Of course they can. As long as Shiwen comes with her parents, uncle and aunt will definitely welcome her!" Chen Yinuo laughed first.
"Go, go play with Youyou first. Mom and Dad will talk to the uncle and aunt first!"
With a smile, Yan Yuan patted Qin Shiwen's little hand.
The little girl nodded sensibly, then walked happily towards the balcony under Ye Youyou's guidance.
"Boss Ye, I believe you can guess that Lao Qin and I are definitely not here to eat for free, haha..."
After the meal, Yan Yuan no longer hid her intentions and revealed them with a smile.
