Chapter 32: After three rounds of drinks, I'm so envious!
"Hey, what's going on with you two?"
Shen Jianping noticed it too, paused in his hand holding the skewers of barbecue, and jokingly asked, "Did you two have a fight? Su Nan, did you bully Jingwen?"
Shen Wenjing snorted, didn't reply, picked up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks, and continued to eat with her head down.
Seeing this, Shen Jianping quickly nudged Su Nan's arm with his elbow and winked at him, asking what was going on.
"I don't know either, we haven't seen each other for more than two months."
Su Nan shrugged and replied in a low voice.
"Come, come, have a little wine. This wine is really good stuff."
Shen Yuqi laughed and smoothed things over, taking out a bottle of Moutai from the red packaging bag, unscrewing the cap, and pouring a small glass of liquor into each person's glass.
Time flew by, and after several rounds of drinks,
All four of them had flushed faces from drinking, and they started talking more.
After downing a glass of wine, Shen Yuqi let out a loud burp, her eyes becoming glazed over.
"Back then, I was a troublemaker in school, a bad student, and no teacher liked me. I only liked the three of you, especially Su Nan and Jing Wen, the two top students."
Shen Yuqi slapped the table and started talking non-stop.
"Back then, I really envied Su Nan. Being good at studying is a great thing. I dreamed of switching lives with him."
As he spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine, downed it in one gulp, and his face was full of smugness.
"Fortunately, the dream didn't come true, otherwise I would have regretted it to death. Now I can have whatever I want, and I live a carefree and comfortable life."
Even if I'm not academically gifted, everyone calls me "General Manager Shen" when I go out. My cement factory employees are mostly college graduates, a bunch of academic high-achievers. Don't they have to listen to me, a dropout?
Just then,
Shen Yuqi let out another hiccup.
But as soon as he said that, the atmosphere at the table visibly paused.
Everyone present knew that among the four, Su Nan's family background was the worst, far worse than Shen Yuqi's.
Shen Jianping quickly nudged Su Nan with his shoulder, signaling him not to take it to heart, and mouthed the words "He's drunk."
Su Nan smiled and waved his hand, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, showing no displeasure whatsoever.
He didn't say anything excessive; he was just stating a fact.
This fact is known not only to the remaining three people present, but also to everyone in the village.
But so what?
Things will eventually change.
The Shen family is a large and influential family in the small mountain village, but their numbers still play a role on June 7th.
"By the way, Su Nan, I have some good news to tell you."
Shen Jianping said with a smile, quickly changing the subject, leaning forward slightly, his voice full of excitement.
"Because of my strong individual combat skills, I will be specially recruited into a logistics special operations team."
Shen Jianping picked up a peanut, popped it into his mouth, and smacked his lips as he spoke.
"..."
Su Nan looked up at him, but didn't interrupt, waiting for his response.
"Don't underestimate the word 'logistics,' it has a lot of significance."
Shen Jianping lowered his voice and continued mysteriously, "Ordinary special forces personnel can't get into this logistics team."
Do you know why?
Shen Jianping asked.
Su Nan simply shook his head after hearing this, which made Shen Jianping lower his voice even further.
"Su Nan, do you believe in metaphysics? Do you believe in supernatural organizations?"
"believe."
Su Nan raised an eyebrow, looked at him with some surprise, and uttered those two words.
"Well, you're something else. I thought I'd have to spend ages explaining this to you, but you actually believed me."
Shen Jianping was taken aback by Su Nan's answer at first, then burst into laughter, put his arm around Su Nan's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"..."
Su Nan was speechless. How could he not know?
How could I not believe it?
Aren't Luo Shaofeng's people from Bureau 79 the ones who specialize in managing supernatural events?
Moreover, his own third eye, located between his eyebrows, is an ancient celestial eye.
He also possesses the divine strength to move mountains and fill seas.
Furthermore, the mystery was immediately and fully restored.
Others may question or deny the supernatural event, but as one of the representatives of the supernatural event itself, how could Su Nan not believe what Shen Jianping said?
However, these words,
Su Nan only thought about it in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
"Su Nan, let me tell you, this organization department has tremendous power. They have the authority to act first and report later, and it's like having imperial privilege. If I really get in, not only will I have a high salary, but I'll also have real influence. Forget about buying a car..."
Even when I return to the village, a group of village officials stand at the village entrance to greet me.
"Tsk tsk, just imagine that scene, it would truly be a source of great honor for one's ancestors."
Shen Jianping put his arm around Su Nan's shoulder and said with a look of longing on his face.
"However, in southern Jiangsu, I heard there's special training after you get in. If you don't meet the standards, there's a high chance you'll be sent back to your original unit. I don't know if I'm up to the task. Damn, this is really nerve-wracking."
Shen Jianping said nervously.
"Oh, so Jianping, you're going to be a big shot from now on?"
Shen Wenjing was standing nearby, and she overheard most of the conversation between Su Nan and Shen Jianping.
Suddenly, she stopped eating with her chopsticks, and her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.
He first glanced quickly at Shen Yuqi beside him, then turned to look at Shen Jianping.
Her eyes were so bright that, upon closer inspection, they seemed to be choosing a concubine by flipping through nameplates.
Because her mother told her that she must marry someone from nearby.
at the same time,
Upon hearing Shen Wenjing's words, Shen Jianping's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly sobered up a bit.
He knew perfectly well that this matter was a secret, and he only blurted it out casually when he was drunk.
He dared not continue speaking and quickly changed the subject, looking at Shen Wenjing.
"Let's not talk about that, Jingwen. I have a question for you. We rarely get together tonight, so why didn't you say a word to Su Nan all night? What happened between you two?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenjing twitched the corners of her mouth, biting her lip and hesitating for a long time.
If she hadn't heard Shen Jianping's words about his impending rise to prominence, she wouldn't have been willing to speak, and might even have pretended not to hear. But now that he's about to rise, she still doesn't want to leave an arrogant impression.
So she raised her head and explained what had happened.
"This is all because of Su Nan's father. Today, his father came to my house and jokingly asked my grandfather when the younger generation of our two families would get married."
Shen Wenjing's voice was soft and carried a hint of grievance.
Upon hearing this, Su Nan immediately understood.
He and Shen Wenjing were indeed betrothed as children. Their small mountain village had many old customs, and the betrothal was arranged by their grandfathers.
During the war, Su Nan's grandfather took a knife for Shen Wenjing's grandfather and sacrificed himself on the battlefield.
After liberation, Shen Wenjing's grandfather said he wanted to return a life and a member of the Su family.
They wanted to have a granddaughter, so this arranged marriage was made.
So that's how it is. Su Nan finally understood.
No wonder Shen Wenjing ignored him all night. It must be because her grandfather told her about this, and she didn't want to, which caused an unpleasant situation. That's why she deliberately gave him a cold look when they met tonight.
"Ugh."
Su Nan shook his head and smiled, and he roughly understood why his father wanted to visit the grave today, and he also understood his good intentions.
With poor family circumstances, finding a well-educated and reasonable daughter-in-law outside the home is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
This betrothal was arranged long ago, which is why the father approached Shen Wenjing's grandfather.
"Jingwen, I will talk to my dad about this. Let bygones be bygones."
Su Nan picked up the wine glass in front of him.
He took a small sip, picked up a peanut, looked up at Shen Wenjing, and spoke calmly.
To be honest, Su Nan himself wasn't particularly interested in Shen Wenjing.
That was the case before!
Now that he possesses supernatural powers, he has lost even more interest.
"Really?"
Shen Wenjing suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.
Because in her mind, Su Nan would definitely take advantage of the situation and climb the social ladder.
But to everyone's surprise, Su Nan was so understanding.
"real."
Su Nan nodded.
He is currently poor, but he may not be poor in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Nan suddenly remembered the five million that Chu Yingxiong had promised, which still hadn't been transferred.
He then considered whether he should find some time to go back to his hometown and tell his father frankly that he was now capable and would definitely be able to find a wife in the future, so that the family would not be without descendants, and that his father would not need to worry about it.
correct,
It would be best to find a few pretty girls to accompany you back; that would make you more convincing.
I don't know if Li Huimin, Fan Kexin, and Chu Yahan are willing to help with this.
The party didn't last long before it ended.
Su Nan greeted the three people and left the food stall first.
Shen Wenjing stood at the door, watching Su Nan's receding figure. She tugged at her finger, took out her phone, and dialed her parents' number.
