Chapter 340: Chapter 340 You will never get married if you behave like this! Chapter 340: Chapter 340 You will never get married if you behave like this! “You are…” The stall owner took a good look at Wang Hao and was also surprised, “You’re Wang Hao! I didn’t expect to run into a fellow townsman here!” Then he glanced at Chris and whispered, “Holy crap, is this your gal? Nice, so you’ve started dating foreign won now?”
Wang Hao: “…” Do I look that lecherous?!
“No, no, just a normal friend. We t at Happy People Stage performing crosstalk,” Wang Hao quickly explained. “This girl really likes ancient culture, so I tell her about it when I have ti.”
“Happy People Stage?!” Hearing that’s where Wang Hao had t her, Wang Wenjun suddenly asked, “You perform crosstalk there now? I couldn’t tell, you’re really talented!”
“Just helping out temporarily,” Wang Hao smiled. “A classmate of mine is now the mainstay there. His regular partner was sick, so he pulled in to help. By the way, I heard you went to learn Errenzhuan a couple of years ago. Are you performing now?”
“Yes,” Wang Wenjun said with a smile upon hearing this, “I’m performing at Joy Forest Stage now, every night at half-past eight, 150 yuan a show, tips not included. Running this stall is just a side gig, earning so pocket money.”
Joy Forest? What’s that?
Wang Hao shook his head, “I’ve never heard of it. But 150 isn’t much. The boss of Happy People Stage has so clout, how about I recomnd you there? My classmate closes the show there, you two would be a great match for sure!” It’s always good to help a fellow townsman when you have the resources.
Wang Wenjun’s eyes roved for a mont, then he chuckled and nodded, “Yes, yes, that’d be great. I’ll thank you in advance.”
At this point, Chris had picked out an item, a wolf-tooth pendant, and Wang Hao directly pulled out his wallet, “How much for this?”
“Just take it for free!” Wang Wenjun said. “It’s just a little trinket, ten or twenty yuan.”
“How can I take advantage of you?” Wang Hao quickly took out twenty yuan and handed it over, “Keep it, and let’s have a drink soti! And seriously, if you want to go to Happy People Stage, just give a call.”
“Brother Hao is so considerate!” The two then exchanged contact information.
After watching Wang Hao and his companion leave, Wang Wenjun looked at the money in his hand and chuckled, “Ah, money from acquaintances is easy to make. Cost five but sells for twenty without bargaining, haha! He really can act, even claiming to know the boss of Happy People. That crappy place only pays a hundred a show, who’d want that? And his classmate closing the show? It’s Zhou Danna who closes, an old guy, his classmate?!”
…
The two wandered the streets a bit more, then found a neat-looking Chinese restaurant. Chris led Wang Hao inside, and they found a quiet spot to sit. Chris asked with a smile, “Was that man your fellow townsman? I heard you call him Wang Wenjun, I thought he was your brother.”
“He’s from my hotown,” Wang Hao smiled. “At ho, almost everyone in our village shares the sa surna. Wang Wenjun is a townsman, though not exactly a relative.”
Upon hearing this, Chris thought for a mont then said, “So, you an to say, almost everyone in your ho village shares the surna Wang?”
“Yes,” Wang Hao nodded. Knowing Chris was curious, he explained, “For example, our village all have the surna Wang, and the neighboring village all have the surna Li. So, if there’s a young couple from our village and Li Village, the groom’s village decides where the bride goes.”
“So you an,” Chris pondered for a mont, “like if Wang San from your village marries Li Si from Li Village, if Wang San is the male, Li Si will move to your village. If Wang San is female, she will move to Li Village. Then the children will take the surna of that village, right?”
“Exactly, you’re really smart for soone knowledgeable about the Heavenly People’s Republic.” Wang Hao smiled and nodded, “Many villages in our country are structured this way, maintaining the purity of the village. Thus, everyone is united as family, and it shields them from outsiders.”
“Such interesting wisdom,” Chris smiled demurely, “That’s why I love the culture of the Heavenly People’s Republic so much. I always feel that it possesses a civilization of five thousand years, many aspects handed down from ancient tis are full of profound wisdom.”
The girl was quite attractive, had a strong desire for knowledge, and most importantly, she was genuinely likable.
He enjoyed being with her.
Soon the dishes arrived, and Chris, rembering Wang Hao’s instruction on how to use chopsticks, refused to make a single mistake. She smiled as she ate, “Once I return ho, I can show off to my friends, telling them that even sothing as simple as chopsticks in the Heavenly People’s Republic are so exquisite!”
Wang Hao burst out laughing, “Haha, I think that will do!”
…
Inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Zhonghai City.
“Father, Miss Chris and Mr. Wang Hao have been out for such a long ti; could sothing have happened?” Smith paced back and forth in the living room, occasionally glancing at his wristwatch, clearly very anxious.
“Don’t worry,” Bruce laughed, “This is the Heavenly People’s Republic, where private possession of firearms is not allowed. Even if they run into trouble, a re scuffle with three or five people won’t pose a threat to them.”
“That’s true, but you know Chris’s family…” Smith said, shaking his head in frustration, “If sothing really were to happen to her, we would definitely be in big trouble!”
After thinking for a mont, Bruce said, “That’s a fair point. Go ahead and call her to check in, keep in touch at all tis, and at least we’ll have so peace of mind.”
“Alright, I’ll do that now!” Smith promptly made the call and quickly returned, then shrugged his shoulders, “Ah, this Mr. Wang is sothing else. Chris said she’s having a great ti with Mr. Wang and doesn’t want to co back yet. Father, do you think they could spark sothing?”
“That’s absolutely impossible,” Bruce imdiately shook his head and said, “If her family found out she was dating a man from the Heavenly People’s Republic, especially one with no noble origins, her fate would be nearly predictable. Miss Chris is a smart person and wouldn’t do such a foolish thing—you can be sure of that.”
Smith walked another couple of rounds in the room, fretting, “Ah, just hopefully nothing goes wrong, otherwise none of us will have an easy ti!”
Bruce snorted and said, “Who told you to get so hot-headed and bring her here without thinking it through? Stop worrying and focus on your work.”
After waiting anxiously for another couple of hours, they finally heard the door open, and Chris bounced into the room, smiling, “I’m back!”
Clearly, after spending the afternoon with Wang Hao, Chris was in a very good mood.
She fiddled with a modest wolf fang pendant in her hand. While it didn’t look very valuable, from her expression it was clear that she cherished it dearly.
“My God, you’re finally back!” Smith finally breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought you were planning to spend the night out there with him, you scared to death.”
“How could that be,” Chris sat on the sofa, looking at the wolf fang pendant, “He has a girlfriend, and they are very close. I’m actually quite envious! But honestly, Wang Hao’s knowledge is really extensive. This afternoon, I asked him about the history of the Three Kingdoms, my favorite, and he talked for three hours straight! I was nearly dumbfounded, at one point I thought he was a history professor!”
Smith listened, his eyes wide and jaw dropped, “You spent the whole afternoon just listening to him talk about history?!”
“Yes!” Chris replied confused, “Is there a problem?”
Smith covered his face with his hand, “No problem, absolutely no problem, I can only admire Mr. Wang…”
Dammit, perfect conditions for so fiery monts, and these two actually spent it discussing the Three Kingdoms…
If word of this got out, no one would believe it!
“It’s just a pity,” Chris said, pouting a bit, “Professor Wang left after receiving a phone call. Otherwise, I had planned to invite him for dinner and listen to a few more hours of the Three Kingdoms history.”
Smith: “…”
All one can do is bow down to such scholarly prowess!
You, young lady, are going to have a hard ti getting married soday!
