This old man is none other than Luo Changzhi, the boss's retired director father.
I once heard the landlady talk about her dad.
Luo Changzhi was a college student in the 1980s. At that time, college students were still very scarce. Therefore, although Luo Changzhi had no money and no background, he still managed to retire as the director.
It is precisely because of his own successful experience that Luo Changzhi attaches great importance to the education of his two children.
The proprietress's grades in school were much better than those of her younger brother Luo Xiaodong since she was a child. Therefore, Luo Changzhi also placed more hopes on the landlady.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Luo Changzhi, who had always been gentle and elegant, lost his temper when the landlady gave up the opportunity to study at Yenching University because of Li Liangcai. He even threatened the boss's wife to sever the father-daughter relationship with her.
But at that time, the landlady was still a simple girl. She was deceived by Li Liangcai, and she only wanted to start a business with Li Liangcai for the love in her heart.
For this reason, Luo Changzhi didn't speak to his daughter for three whole years. Luo Changzhi never asked anything about the landlady's affairs from now on.
I heard the boss lady say that when she insisted on marrying Li Liangcai, her father told her: Since she chose Li Liangcai, no matter what difficulties she encounters in the future, she should not come to him. He won't care either.
Even if she is so poor that she begs for food outside, don't let him give away a steamed bun.
When I heard this, I felt that Luo Changzhi's father was too ruthless.
But now that I saw Luo Changzhi appear here, I realized that I had misjudged this old man.
This retired bureau-level cadre suddenly appeared in this slum area of Chengdu. It was not accidental. He must have been secretly paying attention to his daughter.
This is enough to show that although he speaks ruthlessly, he still cares about his daughter very much in his heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered that his daughter was in trouble so quickly and come here.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but respect this old man a little more.
However, when Luo Changzhi and I looked into each other's eyes, this respect turned into awe.
Luo Changzhi is worthy of being a former director. Although he has retired, he still has the majesty of a superior person. It makes people feel an invisible pressure.
Luo Changzhi looked at me, his eyes a little cold.
"Are you Chen Lin?"
I quickly got out of the station and was so nervous that I didn't know what to do.
Although Luo Changzhi's eyes were murderous like a smiling tiger's, there was a depth that seemed to see through people's hearts. Makes me feel extremely guilty.
"Yes, Uncle Luo, I am Chen Lin."
Luo Changzhi turned his head and glanced at the landlady's room not far away, and then said to me: "Come with me."
I followed Luo Changzhi anxiously and got into a black Audi next to me.
After closing the car door, Luo Changzhi was silent for a full two minutes before speaking slowly.
"I heard that Xue Qing divorced Li Liangcai because of you? Which university did you graduate from?"
I felt guilty after being asked by Luo Changzhi.
"Uncle Luo, I never went to college."
Luo Changzhi looked at me in the post-processing mirror, his face showing no emotion, but his tone was even colder.
"Then do you know that my daughter graduated from a prestigious C9 school?
If she hadn't been delayed by Li Liangcai back then, she would have been a PhD student at Yanda University and working as a professor in a certain university.
What do you think you can bring to her? "
I felt even more guilty after being asked by Luo Changzhi.
After a full two minutes of silence, I whispered softly: "I don't know! I am just a driver for others now, and I don't know what I can bring to the boss's wife.
But I really love her. "
When I said the last sentence, my voice became much softer. Although I have no doubt that I love the boss lady. But I know that this world is real, and loving someone requires qualifications.
I'm obviously not qualified enough to love the boss lady.
Luo Xiaodong already reminded me of this last time.
After Luo Changzhi heard what I said, he didn't ridicule me like Luo Xiaodong did. But his tone was still cold and ruthless, which hit me even harder than Luo Xiaodong's sarcasm.
"Ten years ago, Li Liangcai told me the same thing."
I don't know how to answer.
Luo Changzhi looked at me and waited for five minutes. Seeing that I still didn't speak, he said coldly: "Get out of the car! I hope you won't come looking for my daughter again in the future.
You don't need to worry about her. With my old father here, I will not let her be bullied again in the future. "
I knew that I had failed the test of the boss wife and father, and I felt very depressed. But there is nothing I can do.
Regardless of academic qualifications, family background, or ability, I am far from the boss lady.
In front of the boss lady, I was like that toad who only wanted to eat swan meat.
Even if the boss lady is penniless now, with her looks, education, and ability, she will definitely be able to get back on her feet quickly.
I believe that it won’t be long before the boss lady can become a multi-millionaire again.
What's more, she also has the support of her father, the director.
Only then did I truly understand what the landlady said - a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. She was not referring to the money she had now, but to the Luo family.
Even if the Luo family declines, it is still far from being comparable to ordinary families. Not even compared to me, a young driver from out of town!
I lowered my head and prepared to get off.
But when I grabbed the handle and was about to open the door, I stopped again.
I'm still not willing to give in.
"Uncle Luo, I know I'm not worthy of the boss lady now.
But can you give me a few years? As long as you give me another two years, I will definitely work hard to make myself worthy of the boss lady! "
Luo Changzhi didn't answer me. His eyes, which seemed to be able to see everything, looked at me for a full two minutes before finally speaking.
"Listen to his words and watch his actions. I can't bet my daughter's life's happiness just on your words."
"You, get out of the car!"
I got out of the black Audi owned by the landlady’s father in dejection.
When I returned to the rental house, I could never forget the eyes of the landlady and my father.
Those are a pair of wise and calm eyes. There was obviously no contempt in those eyes, but those eyes made me feel extremely inferior.
While I was tossing and turning, I received a message from the landlady.
"Xiao Chen, thank you! I have gone home with my father, you don't have to worry."
After seeing the news here, I feel relieved.
The proprietress sent me this message, which means that she already knows that I found out about her renting a house in this community tonight.
"Good night, sweet dreams!"
After sending this message, I felt that I was further away from the boss's wife, and an inexplicable sadness arose in my heart.
