Chapter 146: Returning Home
No one can directly change a person\'s mind, not even gods, but the unscientific part of the system is that it can plant a seed in the other person\'s heart, which is the so-called "psychological suggestion". Wшw ?тTk an ?co
But there are also various restrictions.
For example, this kind of edited entry must conform to the development laws of objective reality, and it must not be completely contrary to Jiang Qingkui\'s character. Depending on the degree of change, the effective time will be different, etc...
Zhou Wang\'s first editor was just a small attempt to make Jiang Qingkui more open to accepting new things.
Judging from the change in her clothing, this subtle change seems to have begun.
It\'s quite interesting. Is this considered a different kind of "cultivation"?
Zhou Wang noticed that Jiang Qingkui beside her was not as calm as she appeared, because her body was too tight, and the buttons somewhere could hardly withstand the huge pressure...
Suddenly, Zhou Wang\'s heart moved. Even if Jiang Qingkui\'s mentality had changed, she probably wouldn\'t be so nervous in front of him.
She is extremely proud Jiang Qingkui!
Soon, Zhou Wang thought of something...
I almost forgot that in addition to the "special matters" that are taking effect, he is also enveloped in the [Divine Luck Halo], which seems to have a "charm" bonus...
Zhou Wang looked at Jiang Qingkui\'s profile again, wondering if it was because her makeup was a little thicker than usual today. Her facial features were both heroic and soft, and she became more feminine at this moment.
"Have you told Uncle Jiang and Aunt Guan about your return to Jingcheng?"
Zhou Wang asked casually.
"No."
Jiang Qingkui shook his head, and then whispered: "They don\'t know yet, I am working for you..."
"It\'s hard to talk, isn\'t it?"
Zhou Wang could probably understand, "Would you like to..."
"No, if I have free time in the past two days, I will take the time to go back and explain to them in person."
Jiang Qingkui paused and then said calmly: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Although most of them can\'t understand it, fortunately, the treatment you give is not bad, and I still have a little room for defense."
Jiang Qingkui\'s face was very calm, as if she had done enough mental preparation.
But when Zhou Wang thought of Uncle Jiang\'s character, he couldn\'t help but smack his lips. That uncle regarded training Jiang Qingkui as the greatest achievement in his life...
At that time, when Jiang Qingkui\'s college entrance examination results had just come down, Uncle Jiang wandered around the community for half a month, doing nothing every day and attacking wherever there were crowds of people...
But it\'s normal. Anyone who has a daughter like Jiang Qingkui would have to awaken the "compelling" attribute. After all, she is too shameless!
The top scorer in the college entrance examination is already a figure that can be directly entered into the local chronicles of Jingcheng, which is equivalent to being famous for generations.
Zhou Wang didn\'t speak again, but after such small talk, Jiang Qingkui relaxed a little unconsciously. However, when she was about to say something, Zhou Wang closed his eyes.
When Jiang Qingkui saw this, she remained silent. She turned her head and stared at the scenery passing by outside the window in a daze. Occasionally, her eyes would glance at Miao Ying in the driver\'s seat.
Although she is a young girl, it seems that her driving is quite stable. There is almost no obvious feeling when accelerating or decelerating, and she talks very little. Zhou Wang has found a good driver...
Suddenly, Jiang Qingkui felt her shoulders sink slightly. She tilted her head in surprise, and found that Zhou Wang, who had closed his eyes, had tilted his head and was leaning on her shoulders.
Zhou Wang\'s head was not heavy, but this kind of close contact made Jiang Qingkui very uncomfortable.
Except for her father, Jiang Qingkui had never had physical contact with anyone of the opposite sex. Instantly, an unspeakable strange feeling arose in her heart.
And somehow, looking at Zhou Wang\'s face at close range and feeling Zhou Wang\'s gentle breathing on her neck, Jiang Qingkui\'s heartbeat actually accelerated slightly...
strangeness.
Although she used to think that Zhou Wang\'s appearance was good and that most girls would find him handsome, she didn\'t feel much about it herself. At most, she would only admire Zhou Wang\'s temperament.
Frowning her eyebrows, Jiang Qingkui hesitated a little but still didn\'t wake up Zhou Wang, but looked straight ahead.
It\'s okay to just sleep on your own for a while, don\'t be too sensitive...
Jiang Qingkui just had such an idea, and her body suddenly stiffened.
Because Zhou Wang didn\'t know if it was because he was really asleep, his head began to slide down against her shoulder.
Before Jiang Qingkui had time to react, he was already resting on her lapel.
Such excessive contact made Jiang Qingkui\'s cheeks instantly flushed. She was about to push Zhou Wang away, but maybe it was because her clothes were too slippery. Zhou Wang\'s head had already slipped from her clothes and fell at a very suitable angle. on her legs.
This extremely fast and heavy friction almost made Jiang Qingkui scream out. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time.
Wearing sunglasses, Miao Ying was still driving silently and attentively, seemingly unaware of what was happening in the back seat.
After Jiang Qingkui took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down the throbbing that hit the depths of her soul, she looked at Zhou Wang, whose head was resting on her lap.
The other party didn\'t do anything superfluous, and seemed to have really slept to death.
Jiang Qingkui just looked at Zhou Wang for a long time, then she leaned back suddenly and turned to look out the window. There was no expression on her face, but a few words that were almost inaudible came from her red lips:
"This will never happen again..."
But even she didn\'t know whether she was speaking to Zhou Wang or whether she was warning herself...
...
Jingcheng is nominally the second largest city in Yunnan Province, but according to the official classification in 2023, looking at the whole country, it can actually only be regarded as a fourth-tier city...
However, although the economy is not developed, Jingcheng is a very comfortable place to live.
Taxis with a starting price of seven or eight yuan, mahjong parlors everywhere, various delicacies hidden in the streets, extremely slow pace of life, leisurely work, good air, and A-level scenic spots all around...
Jingcheng is also the only place among all cities in the country that has been selected as one of the "Top Ten Livable Cities" six times.
So in the eyes of Lao Zhou, who had just played mahjong in the morning, bought a bunch of vegetables from the wet market, and walked slowly home, it was actually very irrational for his son to stay in Mingcheng and mess around. things.
There is nothing better than a father who knows a son.
In Zhou Dajun\'s eyes, Zhou Wang is very smart and has some maturity that transcends his peers...
But as a father, he didn\'t have much ability, and he couldn\'t provide much help when he wanted to make some troubles. He even once put the family into a debt crisis because he trusted others...
After Zhou Wang\'s attempt to start a business failed, he had to spend the last three years of college working part-time and never asked for a penny from his family.
Although he feels guilty, this is what makes Zhou Dajun most proud.
In fact, more than once, Zhou Dajun lamented after drinking too much at a gathering of relatives and friends:
"My son Zhou Wang is just one damn chance away. If he can meet a noble person to help him, he will surely skyrocket in the future!"
It can make Zhou Dajun, who has always been calm, excited to the point of violence. It shows that although he usually doesn\'t show it, deep down, he actually feels that he owes Zhou Wang.
This is also the reason why after meeting Jiang Qingkui\'s father Jiang Jiaxing last time, he didn\'t hesitate to ask for Jiang Qingkui\'s contact information—
Zhou Wang\'s mother said she wanted it, but it was actually Zhou Dajun who asked for it.
Zhou Dajun\'s idea is very simple. Since his son wants to continue to struggle in the big city, if he can\'t be persuaded, then he can support him. Jiang Qingkui can be regarded as a worthy "nobleman".
Based on the years of friendship between their family and Jiang Qingkui\'s family, Jiang Qingkui should still be willing to help Zhou Wang after Jiang Jiaxing\'s persuasion...
I just happened to come back this time to ask him if he had met his sister Qingkui.
It was a coincidence that when Zhou Dajun was thinking this, a horn sound suddenly sounded on the roadside.
Zhou Dajun turned around and saw a brand new black Mercedes-Benz GLC300 parked on the side of the road. The window was rolled down, and a familiar face was waving to him with a smile:
"Lao Zhou, are you going shopping?"
"Old Chiang?"
Zhou Dajun was surprised. Didn\'t this mean that Cao Cao had arrived? Sitting in the driver\'s seat was Jiang Qingkui\'s father, Jiang Jiaxing.
It\'s just this Mercedes...
"Did you buy a new car?"
Zhou Dajun remembered that the car Jiang Jiaxing drove before was a Volkswagen Tiguan.
"Hmm, that car has been driven for many years, and I have long wanted to replace it. Although Qingkui received a scholarship abroad before, it was hard to say what expenses she had. You have to spend your money leisurely. Now that my daughter is back, she has the ability to do it herself. I made money, no, I went to pick up the car yesterday..."
Jiang Jiaxing laughed and waved, "Let\'s go, I\'ll see you off just in time. If it\'s convenient, we can go to your house for a meal. Your sister-in-law went on an outing with the girls from the work again, and I happened to have no whereabouts for lunch. !"
The two had worked in the same unit since they were first assigned, and later joined the same state-owned enterprise after the restructuring. Although they no longer were neighbors after moving from the old community, Zhou Dajun would not be polite to each other after so many years of friendship. He opened the car door and sat in.
Although his son had to come back for lunch at noon, Lao Zhou thought it would be just right to let his son meet Uncle Jiang, just to build a friendship.
"Isn\'t this car cheap?"
Zhou Dajun, who got into the passenger seat, felt the luxurious interior and asked curiously.
"It\'s okay. The dealer offered a discount of 50,000 yuan, so it seems to be less than 500,000 yuan."
"Full payment?"
"Of course it has to be paid in full. To use young people\'s words, we don\'t have the strength, haha!"
Seeing Jiang Jiaxing waving his arms and joking with him, Zhou Dajun felt a little envious in his heart.
It wasn\'t just that he envied Lao Jiang for driving a Mercedes-Benz, but the other party\'s mentality.
Because they have a daughter who is up to date, Jiang Jiaxing and his wife basically don\'t have to worry about anything. They live a leisurely life every day. They play outside in various ways during holidays. It is obvious that Jiang is a few years older than himself, and he is also running for six years. He looks like he is in his forties...
For example, at this moment, he was still wearing a pair of sunglasses on the collar of his sportswear, which was a lot of coquettishness.
"Lao Jiang, my sister-in-law is going out to play, why don\'t you go... You won\'t drive around here all morning, right?"
Zhou Dajun suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously.
"It\'s bad. A new car requires more movement. I don\'t want to drive around blindly. Jingcheng has changed a lot in the past two years. I am familiar with the terrain!"
Jiang Jiaxing laughed. Although his old friend found out, he was not embarrassed at all.
While the two were chatting and joking, the car soon drove into a garden community in the south of Jingcheng.
The residential area is only six stories high. It is a multi-story residential building that was more popular in the past. There is no underground parking lot, which makes it difficult to find parking spaces.
There was some unpleasantness when parking the car, because Lao Jiang\'s car blocked the entrance to the corridor of the unit door, and he was scolded by the aunt who was watering the flowers on the first floor. Naturally, the two grown men were too embarrassed to argue with a woman, so they just Neng parked the car further away.
After going up to the fifth floor and entering the house, Zhou Dajun said hello but did not hear Zhao Guihua\'s response. He went into the room in confusion and saw his wife sulking on the sofa.
"What\'s the matter? Old Jiang is here and you don\'t even say hello..." "Old Jiang!"
Zhao Guihua saw Jiang Jiaxing following Zhou Dajun, and then she reluctantly smiled and said hello to him.
But she couldn\'t hold it back in the end, and angrily complained to her husband, "It\'s not like those people in the real estate center. What they said at that time is now completely rejected. If you really want to buy the garage, it will cost you less than 100,000 yuan. It\'s not cost-effective." "
After hearing what Zhao Guihua said, Zhou Dajun immediately knew what was going on.
The community where they live now does not have an underground parking lot, but it does have a garage that takes up more space. When the old couple bought a house, the developer promised to provide a garage.
But later on, the house purchase contract somehow turned into a "right of first refusal", and the two of them signed the contract without paying attention.
Zhao Guihua had gone to make a fuss once before when she realized something was wrong, but after getting no results, she had no choice but to give up. Now because her family planned to buy a car, Zhao Guihua thought of it again and went to the property management company several times to argue.
Apparently, she went there again just now and got angry again...
"Okay, okay, it\'s just a garage. If you don\'t want to give it away, we won\'t give it away. We can just buy it later. Don\'t always be angry because of these things. Then your migraine will attack again!"
Lao Zhou comforted Zhao Guihua for a few words, and then asked: "Have you called your son? Where is he?"
"He\'s driving a car. How can I dare to call him? But he told me before setting off that the time is almost up... I\'ll go cook first. Lao Jiang, please sit down for a while! "
Zhao Guihua said and got up and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Jiaxing on the side heard the conversation between the couple and couldn\'t help but asked in surprise: "Your Zhou Wang is back?"
"Yes, it\'s his grandma\'s birthday tonight, and we have to go to Lucheng then."
"I heard Guihua said he drove back by himself?" Jiang Jiaxing asked with interest, "Did he buy a car?"
"Hey, my mother and I are a little helpless when we talk about this."
Zhou Dajun waved his hand and said with a smile, "This guy bought a car without saying anything behind our backs. He didn\'t even ask us for money. He even transferred tens of thousands to his mother..."
"Oh, that young man is still very good!"
Jiang Jiaxing smiled in surprise, "It\'s amazing that I can buy a car by myself just after graduation, even if it\'s just a down payment."
"It\'s not bad, after all, he\'s still young, so take your time. But if Qing Kui can give him some support, he\'ll be able to drive a Mercedes-Benz like Lao Jiang one day, then he\'ll be promising."
Zhou Dajun smiled.
"Qing Kui, it seems she hasn\'t decided where to go yet. She probably has too many choices. Speaking of which, I just happened to give her a call to ask..."
Jiang Jiaxing waved his hand and took out his mobile phone.
Zhou Dajun\'s mouth twitched, knowing that Jiang Jiaxing could no longer restrain his desire to "pretend".
The last time they met at the vegetable market, Jiang Jiaxing called Jiang Qingkui in person.
Although Zhou Dajun could not fully understand those various words, the key words such as "annual salary of one million", "first-tier city household registration", "share incentives", "housing and car matching" were still very clear...
Only when Jiang Jiaxing took out his cell phone did the phone ring first.
Jiang Jiaxing was obviously startled when he saw the caller\'s ID, but he quickly answered the call with a smile.
"Hey, Qingkui, dad is about to call you..."
"What, you\'re back?"
Jiang Jiaxing\'s expression soon became surprised.
"Your mother is not at home, and I am eating at your Uncle Zhou\'s house... Yes, it is Zhou Wang\'s father... Ah, you want to come over, forget it, dad should go back and wait... What did you say?"
Jiang Jiaxing was stunned again and looked up at Zhou Dajun, who was a little confused next to him.
"You said you and Zhou Wang came back together...are you guys together now?"
At this time, Zhou Dajun was also a little confused.
What happened, that his son actually came back with Jiang Qingkui?
He didn\'t say anything either...
"Okay, then dad will be waiting for you at your Uncle Zhou\'s house, okay..."
Jiang Jiaxing hung up the phone and looked at Zhou Dajun doubtfully, "Old Zhou, when did your son get in touch with my Qingkui? It seems like they have a good relationship. Has he told you?"
"I didn\'t tell you. I don\'t know what the situation is..."
"Your family Zhou Wang is not pursuing my family Qing Kui, right?"
Jiang Jiaxing thought about it for a while, and his expression suddenly changed.
...
Jingcheng Expressway Toll Station.
"The amount is 65.5 yuan, charge card, please pass!"
As the ETC pole was raised, the Mercedes-Benz G with Mingcheng license plate number ending in 686 slowly drove into the ramp, turned another corner, and merged into the green urban lane.
Zhou Wang stared at the scenery of this small southwestern city through the car window and felt a little sad for a moment.
I come back once or twice every year, and it\'s not a long separation, but this time, my mood is completely different.
It is said that wealth does not return to its hometown, and it is like walking at night in fine clothes. Zhou Wang originally thought that he should not be so vulgar, but at this moment, he found that his emotions were still a little agitated...
The local sentiment of the Chinese people also flows in his blood. Who doesn\'t want to see the pride on the faces of his parents, and who can refuse the heartfelt praise of his family and relatives...
After all, that was one of the monuments on his road to success...
At this time, Jiang Qingkui on the side also finished her phone call, but she looked at Zhou Wang with a slightly strange expression.
"My mom went out to play, but...my dad is at your house."
"What a coincidence?"
Zhou Wang was also stunned for a moment.
He asked Jiang Qingkui to make the call. He originally thought that he would have dinner with his parents at noon, so he simply asked Jiang Qingkui to go home and see his parents. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingkui went directly to his own house, which was quite convenient.
"Well, so there\'s no need to send me off first. Let\'s go directly to your house."
Jiang Qingkui said, and subconsciously touched the hem of her skirt.
In fact, the traces of being slept with by Zhou Wang had long since been healed, but the remaining numbness and warmth on her thighs still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Wang also didn\'t expect that Jiang Qingkui would actually allow him to sleep with her all the way——
Initially Zhou Wang just wanted to test the effect of the "charm halo", but because Jiang Qingkui\'s legs were so soft and soft, he actually fell asleep.
When I open my eyes again, it\'s before I get off the highway.
However, both of them made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter, as if nothing had happened...
Zhou Wang\'s community is in the south of Jingcheng, only four or five intersections away from the expressway toll station. What surprised Miao Ying, who had not spoken much along the way, was that the lights were green all the way from the expressway to the community...
Zhou Wang also noticed it, and he naturally thought that this might also be the function of the [Divine Luck Halo], which focuses on the "little luck" that flows slowly...
Unfortunately, there are only seven days in total.
Eight minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz Big G drove into the gate of Nanjiang Garden.
As for which car to drive back, Zhou Wang actually had no choice.
Ferrari passed first. It\'s not a matter of being high-profile or not, but it\'s about going to the countryside. As for the 812C chassis, it\'s not far from being scrapped if you go for a spin in the countryside...
The Continental GT can only be forgotten, it cannot be seated.
The Audi A8 was too old-fashioned, so in the end only the Mercedes-Benz G63 was suitable.
Moreover, Da Ben is actually more useful in small places, and it can also help Zhou Wang save a lot of unnecessary words.
For example, when I saw the Mercedes-Benz G at this moment, the security guard just raised the stick without asking anything. On the contrary, when Zhou Wang handed the cigarette to him, the other person was a little flattered.
Under Zhou Wang\'s guidance, when Miao Ying drove in, the Mercedes-Benz G also attracted the attention of many residents along the way, and the rate of return was extremely high.
"Mr. Zhou, I can\'t find a parking space."
At this time, Miao Ying said something.
"Just park at the door of the unit building. You just need to move something. Just move closer to the side."
Zhou Wang pointed to the empty seat downstairs and said casually.
In his impression, this kind of ordinary community is not so particular, as long as it doesn\'t block the road.
After the car stopped, the three of them got out of the car. Looking at the packed trunk, Zhou Wang, who had not noticed it before, was slightly surprised:
"Qingkui, you bought so many things?"
You must bring a gift when you go home. Zhou Wang, who had no idea, let Jiang Qingkui figure it out. There was no fixed budget anyway, so Zhou Wang just gave Jiang Qingkui a supplementary card.
It seemed that hundreds of thousands were deducted in the end, but Zhou Wang obviously underestimated the number of regular gifts that this amount could buy.
"Forget it, I\'ll ask my parents to come down and help get it."
Zhou Wang took out his cell phone and called his father.
After briefly explaining the situation, Zhou Dajun\'s head popped out from the balcony on the fifth floor before he came down.
After seeing the "big guy" next to Zhou Wang clearly, Zhou Dajun\'s expression was stunned, and his stunned voice rang on the phone.
"Son, the car you drove back was...Mercedes-Benz?"
"Mercedes? What Mercedes?"
Before Zhou Wang could reply, he heard another vague voice, and another head poked out from the balcony.
"Ouch!"
