I was framed for taking the civil service exam, so I joined the National Security Bureau

There is a certain difference between human nature and personality.

Nature is something that follows the heart and is difficult to change in a lifetime.

But personality is a kind of individual tendency and stable behavior habits formed after birth, which is affected by factors such as growth experience, family environment, and cultivation level, and is highly unstable.

After many years, in a few brief conversations with Zheng Nuan, although Zhang Xing could not find out what Zheng Nuan's nature was, he could feel that her personality had indeed changed.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of growth factors, or perhaps it was because of some different experiences in these years, which led to her not being as willful and domineering as before.

Zheng Nuan now gave Zhang Xing the feeling that she was a darling girl from heaven who fell into the mortal world.

Of course, whether she changed her temperament now or not, it didn't matter to Zhang Xing. She had never stirred up waves in Zhang Xing's heart before, let alone now.

Zheng Nuan suggested that Zhang Xing accompany her to continue walking on the beach. Zhang Xing had actually been walking with her for nearly half an hour, so Zhang Xing rejected the invitation and reminded her that it was time for lunch.

Zhang Xing's behavior was quite unromantic. If it were Zheng Nuan in the past, she might have been arrogant and had a small temper, but now she was not angry, but said: "You reminded me."

After returning home, her mother Lin Fang had prepared a sumptuous lunch.

In order to fulfill his hospitality, Zhang Ming took out two bottles of old wine that he had collected for many years.

During the meal, everyone toasted and exchanged cups, telling stories of joy in the past years.

Zhang Ming and Zheng Jianguo seemed to have discussed it well. As they recalled, they recalled the topic to Zhang Xing and Zheng Nuan.

Zheng Jianguo said with emotion:

"I remember when Nuannuan was eight or nine years old, she would run to your house almost every day. At that time, Dong Ai and I were busy with work. We both worked in the town clinic. I was a doctor and she was a nurse. At that time, there were few doctors and nurses in the clinic and we often had to work overtime. There was no one to take care of her at home, so Nuannuan had to come to your house."

Zheng Jianguo's wife Dong Ai raised her glass to Zhang Ming and Lin Fang, and said gratefully:

"Yes, if it weren't for Sister Fang helping to take care of Nuannuan, the child probably wouldn't even have a proper meal. Brother Zhang, Sister Fang, thank you for taking care of my Nuannuan for so many years."

Zheng Nuan also raised her glass to thank Zhang Xing's parents with gratitude.

Zhang Ming said bluntly:

"We are all family, why are you saying these things? Jianguo and I have had a good relationship since we were young. You have helped us a lot over the years. If I have to thank you, I have to thank you."

Lin Fang looked at Zheng Nuan and said sincerely:

"Nuannuan has changed a lot in these years. She was very proud when she was young. When she was in our house, I couldn't control her. But now she is gentle, generous, and polite. She looks like a lady from a noble family."

Zheng Jianguo laughed:

"Sister-in-law, don't praise her so much. This child is easily proud. This child used to be arrogant. After experiencing a lot of hardships abroad in recent years, she gradually realized the cruelty of society, so she has made these changes."

Zhang Ming smiled and said:

"It's good that she has changed. Girls are more popular if they are gentle and generous. By the way, Nuannuan, do you have a boyfriend?"

Zheng Nuan was slightly stunned and shook her head immediately.

Zheng Jianguo immediately added:

"She still has a boyfriend. This girl has never been in a relationship. There were boys pursuing her before, but she was too proud and looked down on them. My child Nuannuan actually has low emotional intelligence."

"Unlike your Xiaoxing, who has been smart since he was young, always polite and has high emotional intelligence. By the way, Xiaoxing should be in a relationship, right?"

Zhang Ming glanced at Zhang Xing and smiled bitterly:

"No way, my boy has never been in a relationship. Don't underestimate his high emotional intelligence, but he also has high standards. Since high school, I have heard that there have been girls pursuing him, but he just ignored them. Later, when he went to college, he never brought any girls home. Girlfriend, last time I asked him, he said that he had five women in his heart, and he would be a god if he drew his sword. "

"I really don't understand what these young people think now. It's normal to talk about marriage when you reach a certain age, but now these young people are acting like they are facing a great enemy."

Zheng Jianguo smiled and said:

"You can't blame the children for this. A large part of the reason comes from social pressure. It's not easy for boys to get married now. They have to buy a house and a car, and they have to prepare a gift. How can a young man in his twenties get so much money? In addition, the marriage happiness index is very low now, the divorce rate is rising year by year, and the cost of educating and raising children is also high. Usually, a young man gets married and has children."I have to spend the family's savings to marry a child."

"Nowadays, among young people, there is a popular term called 'lying flat'. In fact, if there is not much social pressure, who would be willing to lie flat? It's just that many young people have no choice but to lie flat because they have no original accumulation. After graduation, they can't even find a job with a salary of 5,000 yuan. They also have to face high living costs. How can they have money to fall in love and get married?"

"I sympathize with this generation of young people. If my daughter Nuannuan finds a suitable boyfriend in the future, I will not only not ask for a penny of betrothal gifts, but also help them prepare a house and a car. After all, marrying a daughter is not like doing business. As long as the boy has good character and is motivated enough, it doesn't matter whether he has money or not."

Zhang Ming glanced at Zhang Xing and said meaningfully:

"Whoever marries Nuannuan will be really happy. "

Zheng Jianguo smiled again:

"If you ask me, any girl who marries your Xiaoxing would be happy. He is a top student who graduated from a 985 university and has now passed the civil service exam. By the way, which department does Xiaoxing work in now?"

Zhang Ming was prepared for this question. He naturally would not mention Zhang Xing's current workplace to outsiders, but when others asked, he always needed a suitable explanation.

"Oh, in... the Urban Planning and Construction Bureau. "

Zheng Jianguo had asked Zhang Xing about his work unit last time, but Zhang Ming said that it had not been decided yet. After hearing about Zhang Xing's work unit this time, Zheng Jianguo seemed even happier. After all, the Urban Construction Bureau is a public sector that is very rich.

Zhang Ming and Zheng Jianguo talked about the topic between Zhang Xing and Zheng Nuan. Zheng Nuan was shy and a little embarrassed, but she still listened carefully to the conversation between their parents.

But at this time, Zhang Xing had been looking down and fiddling with his phone. For him, what Zheng Jianguo and Zhang Ming said was basically in one ear and out the other.

Ever since Zhang Ming took the initiative to bring the topic to himself and Zheng Nuan, Zhang Xing knew that Zhang Ming and Zheng Jianguo were playing a double game, with the purpose of bringing him and Zheng Nuan together.

But to be honest, Zhang Xing had no feelings for Zheng Nuan at all. Even though her personality had changed now, she was still as arrogant and domineering as she was in her childhood.
