Chapter 83 The Familiar Melody

Sun Jianchuan still hesitated to come forward to meet the guests.Knowing that he was fine, Chen Xi went downstairs first.

Her father, Chen Shu, was talking with Sun Changming and several shareholders of the company standing by the pool in the garden.Chen Shu's face was not very good-looking, and one of the minority shareholders, whom Chen Xi called Uncle Qian, seemed to be apologizing to him with a trace of embarrassment and apology.

On the way to Sun's house, Chen Xi listened to the content of her father's phone call, and could probably guess what it was about—Chen Shu went to the factory to get a piece of information the night before, and wandered around the workshop impromptu.He found that a duty officer in the central control room was dozing off, with his feet resting on the control panel, next to the installation valve.Chen Shu was furious, which was completely unimaginable behavior in his opinion.The person on duty was dealt with overnight. At the same time, each factory area quickly organized safety inspections and rule studies.Sun Changming also rushed over.He and Chen Shu have the same attitude. Safety and environmental protection are always two sharp swords hanging over the heads of chemical companies, which cannot be ignored.Chen Shu asked to punish the person in charge of the room involved and the leader in charge of safety in the factory area, and Sun Changming also agreed.However, during the process, a shareholder came forward to intercede, and it turned out that the deputy factory director in charge of safety production in the factory was the shareholder's wife and brother.

With Chen Shu's personality, he doesn't care about these human relationships.If the accident happened due to negligence that night, let alone his wife and brother, even his father would not be able to bear the responsibility.But Sun Changming advised him to punish what should be punished, and to give the face that should be given.The deputy factory manager has only been retired for a few years, and he is usually conscientious.What Sun Changming meant was that a notice of criticism and a fine would suffice. The penalty for dismissal would be too severe, which would chill the hearts of the company's veterans.

It seems that this gathering is not only for Sun Changming's wife's birthday, but also has the function of making Sun Jianchuan happy and mediating official affairs, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.At this moment, Sun Changming's face was relaxed and kind. He brought wine to the shareholder who bowed his head and was sweating, and then he put his arms around the shoulder of his long-time friend and said good things.Chen Shu was still indifferent, but finally took the toast from the shareholder.

Sun Changming seemed to have made a joke. His hearty laughter could be faintly heard in the living room, and the atmosphere in the garden also eased.

Chen Xi thought to himself, Uncle Sun is really a fine person.Compared with him, her father is like a stone in a latrine - this evaluation was not made by her, but by her mother Song Mingming.I heard that when they were studying in Beijing, it was Sun Changming who got the tickets for the graduation performance of the Drama Academy, and took his good friends to cheer for Song Mingming.Unexpectedly, Song Mingming knew Sun Changming first, but he just fell in love with the lonely and restrained Chen Shu.Chen Xi's knowledge of the situation was limited, and Song Mingming attributed it to "the moment when hormones got out of control".

The marriage between Chen Shu and Song Mingming failed, but his friendship with Sun Changming has not changed, and he has also broken the curse of "doing business with one's friends will not end well".Chen Shu's patented achievements are the core technology for their chemical plant, while Sun Changming, who also majored in chemistry, is better at management.The two have completely different personalities and can be called an excellent pair of partners.Their chemical factories have been relocated several times, but the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the benefits are not bad.

Sun Changming often said that Chuanzi could not be counted on, and that the property of the two families would have to be handed over to Chen Xi in the future—of course, it would be perfect if the two families could merge into one family.Chen Shu was noncommittal about this. He said that he didn't care about his juniors, and Song Mingming directly said that Sun Changming was daydreaming.

Chen Xi herself has no interest in the company or Sun Jianchuan, and she doesn't even understand why her father wants to go into business.He is a man with very low material desires, and his ambitions are all academic.Chemical companies are industries that struggle to survive in the cracks of various policy red lines.Although she is learning this, even if she lives in the laboratory in the future, it will be better than taking over this hot potato.

Chen Shu and Sun Changming waved to Chen Xi in the garden, to let her take care of herself.Chen Xi was not interested in adult topics at all, let alone take the initiative to approach them.Most of the guests visiting the Sun family tonight were acquaintances. Occasionally, a few unfamiliar faces heard that she was Song Mingming's daughter, and they came up to say hello, and they spoke the Chejilu dialect that Chen Xi was used to.

Sun Jianchuan's mother delivered some food to her son's room just now, and found that he was changing clothes and tidying himself up, and his energy was back.She thanked Chen Xi repeatedly, and even introduced her good sister with a smile to take a photo with Chen Xi.

Sun Jianchuan's mother is Chang Yu, a virtuous and dignified housewife.Sun Changming has the final say on all matters in their family, and her husband and son are the biggest careers in her life.The two families got close, and Chang Yu treated Chen Xi well, but because Chen Xi was Song Mingming's daughter, she was always a bit jealous in her thoughtfulness.

Chang Yu cared more about the relationship between his son and Chen Xi than anyone else.Different from her husband and son's eager attitude towards Chen Xi, San Yu dare not imagine becoming her daughter-in-law with Chen Xi's personality - she has spent her life in vain!So when the good sisters praised Chen Xi like a flower and complimented Chuanzi's good vision, Chang Yu repeatedly waved her hands and said: "Xixi doesn't like us Chuanzi, how can our family have such a blessing!"

But Chen Xi followed her words and left herself and Sun Jianchuan completely, and when she even revealed that she had long been interested in someone, she was secretly disappointed, complaining in her heart that her son was not up to date, and couldn't help but want to know what kind of boy Chen Xi liked. Yes, what is better than their family Chuanzi?

Chen Xi understood Aunt Chang's mind very well, she just smiled, but refused to say another useful word.

After they left, Chen Xi relaxed his stiff face from laughing, and sat down in a corner with few people.There was a Steinway seven-foot grand piano, elegant and immaculate looking, a fitting addition to this beautiful house.

Chen Xi learned the piano when she was a child, and she passed the exam under the encouragement of her mother. Due to her musical talent, she did not continue to learn.She looked around, making sure that there was no risk of being asked to play in public before lightly pressing the keys.Needless to say, she didn't play for a long time, and her fingering was unfamiliar. What annoyed her was that she had a clear melody in her mind, but when she played it with her fingers, she always felt that a few notes were not right.

She was about to get up from the piano bench when another hand suddenly appeared on the keys.

"What are you doing?" Sun Jianchuan came downstairs at some point.He stood behind Chen Xi, his fairer and slender hands than ordinary boys carelessly brushed over the keys.

"I saw you playing seriously just now, why didn't you play?"

Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, and told him about her troubles.Sun Jianchuan asked her to hum a part to listen.

They shared a piano teacher.Chuanzi prefers the guitar, but his accomplishments in the piano are still far better than Chen Xi.Musical talent is Sun Jianchuan's biggest advantage in front of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi snorted softly, and beat himself seriously.Sun Jianchuan didn't dare to laugh out loud in front of her - every note of her was out of tune, what kind of broken tune is this!

He tried to play it again, and Chen Xi nodded and said something like that.She continued to hum softly, and Sun Jianchuan flicked it.At the third time, Chen Xi's eyes finally lit up.Her smile was not wide, but her eyes were full of bright happiness.

"That's right...that's the way it is. Chuanzi, you can do it! You can make music, don't give up!"

"really?"

Sun Jianchuan played it again like clouds and flowing water, and the depression that had been circling in his heart for several days was swept away with the sound of the piano and Chen Xi's smile. This strange melody also made people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

He said, "I'm going to put it in my song!"

Another person was also attracted by this melody——Wei Linfeng was fetching a bottle of red wine for Sun Changming, he slowed down, and almost suspected that he hadn't resisted the temptation of alcohol in the wine cellar to drink again.The repeating melody was so familiar that it almost pulled him from the brightly lit mansion back to the hut in the wind and snow in his hometown.Whenever his wife sat at the window and put a pair of young children to sleep, she hummed this ditty.He asked what song it was, why hadn't he heard it elsewhere?She smiled and said, where is the song, she hummed it casually.Both Jiajia and Lele like to listen to this song.

The person who sang has been dead for many years, and the two children listening to the song have also grown up, and they are thousands of miles away.At the piano was another pair of decent young men.

Everything seemed like a dream.
