From abandoned baby to CEO

Unlike most writers, Xu Chen is a very talkative writer.

Sun Xue also found that Xu Chen was very knowledgeable, and no matter what the topic was, he could always talk about it in a simple and in-depth way.

He and Sun Xue talked about literature, opera, and movies. He even has his own unique opinions on dressing and cooking.

Sun Xue listened attentively most of the time and could not speak at all. He could only occasionally smile and nod to cooperate with Xu Chen.

She admired Xu Chen in front of her. She didn't expect that he was also born in the 70s. Xu Chen was only a few years older than her, but she felt that he was beyond his reach.

She couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he was able to stand out among the talented students at such a young age and serve as the monitor.

The two of them chatted for hours by the lake, enjoying the cool breeze.

When the afterglow of the sunset shone on the lake, Xu Chen raised his wrist to look at his watch and said apologetically: "I didn't expect that we would be talking to this point all of a sudden. Are you hungry? Let's go eat together."

Because they arrived too late, they missed the hotel dining time.

The enthusiastic chef insisted on cooking a few more dishes for them.

But Xu Chen politely refused.

"Thank you, chef. No need to trouble you! We can just go outside and eat something."

After walking out of the hotel, Xu Chen turned to Sun Xue for advice.

"Writer Sun, what do you like to eat?"

Sun Xue hurriedly replied: "You can eat anything. I'm not particular about what I eat, as long as it can fill my stomach."

Xu Chen laughed when he heard this: "Let's do this. I'll drive you to the city and find a southern restaurant. I'll treat you to a taste of our Jiangnan cuisine. How about that?"

Regarding Xu Chen's kind invitation, Sun Xue nodded in response: "Thank you then."

Sun Xue had thought about it. If she could have dinner with an excellent writer like Xu Chen, she would definitely pay for the meal.

Xu Chen made a special drive to attend the study this time.

Xu Chen drives a BMW, which is calm and majestic, very consistent with his temperament and identity.

The black BMW car is like a shining black gem, speeding in the city night.

Soon Xu Chen found a restaurant called Jiangnan First Village.

What moved Sun Xue a little was that Xu Chen was a very generous gentleman.

When the car stopped in front of the hotel, Xu Chen hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for her.

Then he quickly walked to the door of the hotel, opened the door, and motioned for her to go forward with a smile.

This detail made Sun Xue sigh that people from wealthy families treat people differently.

Makes you feel comfortable and warm.

Although there were only two people, Xu Chen ordered six dishes.

"Writer Xu, why did you order so many dishes?"

A faint smile appeared on Xu Chen's face:

"These six dishes are the most distinctive among the dishes in my hometown. They are the six dishes that best reflect the freshness, tenderness, smoothness and refreshing of southern cuisine, and the perfect combination of color, aroma, taste and shape, so I recommend them to you. Taste it.”

Sun Xue was very grateful for Xu Chen's enthusiasm and intention.

The two chatted while eating, and Xu Chen introduced the story behind each dish to Sun Xue one by one, as well as the cooking tips for each dish.

From Xu Chen's description, Sun Xue understood for the first time that there was a wonderful story behind every famous dish.

It was the first time for her to enjoy this feeling of tasting the dishes and listening to the stories contained in each dish.

During the meal, Sun Xue excused herself to go to the bathroom. She came to the front desk and wanted to buy the order.

Xu Chen invited her to dinner so enthusiastically, she felt that she should be the one to treat him to this meal.

This can also leave a good impression on Xu Chen when meeting for the first time.

Unexpectedly, the pretty lady at the front desk replied with a smile: "Your friend has already paid for it."

This surprised Sun Xue, and she felt a sense of warmth and touch in her heart.

After coming out of the restaurant, Xu Chen looked at his watch, then at Sun Xue, and asked cautiously: "Writer Sun, have you ever enjoyed the sea view at night?"

Sun Xue smiled and shook his head.

"It's still early. If you're not in a hurry to go back, I'll take you to see the sea view. Watching the sea at night will have a unique charm."

After saying that, Xu Chen looked forward to Sun Xue's answer with a smile on his face.

Sun Xue has really never seen the sea. Lu City is a seaside city, and the sea view is also the iconic scenery of this city.

Sun Xue had planned to see the sea before she came here, and today happened to be an opportunity to go see the sea with her classmates.

"That's great, I haven't seen the sea yet!" Sun Xue was a little surprised.

"Then get in the car, Writer Sun." Xu Chen smiled and opened the car door for Sun Xue in a gentlemanly manner.

"let's go!"

Xu Chen looked excited!

A black BMW speeds through the night.

Under the night sky, there are thousands of lights, and the music in the car is like gurgling water, flowing gracefully in the closed space.

Listening to the music and looking at the charming night scene fading little by little outside the window, Sun Xue felt relaxed and happy.

……

"By the way, Writer Sun, tomorrow is the first lesson of school. I heard that the famous domestic writer Mr. Xu will give you the first lesson."

"Yes, I also heard what the dean said. Yesterday I went to the dean's office and met Teacher Xu with my own eyes. It's exciting to think about it now."

Sun Xue said smugly.

Mr. Xu is the gold medal winner in the most authoritative literary competition in China. I heard that many of his novels have been adapted into movies and have been a hit at the box office.

Sun Xue was secretly happy to see Teacher Xu as soon as she arrived at the School of Liberal Arts. She thought that many classmates had not yet met Teacher Xu.

"Teacher Xu and I met several years ago. At that time, he went to give lectures at my dad's university, and my dad invited him to my home. He was very famous at that time." Xu Chen said with a calm smile.

"Mr. Xu has been to your home as a guest?" Sun Xue exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right! Teacher Xu and my dad are still friends, and Teacher Xu personally gave me guidance on many of the manuscripts I wrote."

Sun Xue looked at Xu Chen with envy: "You are so happy!"

Xu Chen smiled: "The more famous a writer is, the easier it is to get along with him without any pretensions. That's what Teacher Xu is like."

Xu Chen continued: "Writer Sun, what do you think of Teacher Xu's works?"

Sun Xue thought for a while and said: "I have only read one of his novels and I liked it very much. I feel that the cultural heritage is very profound."

"Then what?" Xu Chen then asked.

"..."

Sun Xue was stunned for a moment, she didn't know how to answer. It is true that she has not studied Teacher Xu's novels very carefully.

Xu Chen immediately took over the topic and said: "The reason why Teacher Xu's works feel so profound is because Teacher Xu's knowledge is very broad and astonishing. He is good at historical themes and rural themes..."

Next, Xu Chen began to analyze the unique writing style of Teacher Xu's works, and also pointed out the shortcomings that he thought were lacking.

The two chatted all the time, all about Teacher Xu’s works.

"Writer Sun, there will definitely be an assignment after Teacher Xu's first class. I wish you good results."
