Chapter 2392: Shock
The commercial vehicle drove unhurriedly, as if time had also slowed down at this moment. Liu Zhenyan, Mu Yun, and the others all sat quietly in the car, without any communication, only the sound of tires rubbing against the road and the scenery constantly receding outside the window.
Their gazes were all focused outside the car window, looking at the constantly changing scenery, while secretly pondering Zhou Anqin's family background. They knew Zhou Anqin was from Jiangzhou and came from the countryside. Because someone in her family did small business, the family conditions were quite good, so what she ate and wore was relatively better.
Of course, they also knew that the relationship between Zhou Anqin and Dean An was extraordinary. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been brought into a very important project team in her freshman year. Even for the job they took this time, they all thought it must be Dean An's connection.
After all, everyone could get a reward of 2,000, adding up to a full 10,000 yuan, and Zhou Anqin would definitely get more. Such a big job, even teachers in the academy might not be able to easily get it.
It was just that, looking at it now, what they had heard, seen, and thought before seemed to be inaccurate. The fact that Zhou Anqin and Dean An had a good relationship was indeed beyond doubt, but obviously, her brother was also not simple.
They were letting their imaginations run wild, various thoughts churning in their minds, thinking it would take a while to arrive. Unexpectedly, in just over ten minutes, the speed, which was not fast, slowed down again, and then turned into another road.
This road was close to the wall of the Forbidden City on one side, and rows of Sihe Academy on the other. Several hutongs were under construction, the ground was dug into deep ditches, and workers were busy building courtyard walls.
Soon, there was no road ahead, and the car stopped steadily. Zhou Anqin said with a smile: "We're here, get off."
Liu Zhenyan and the others got off the car and looked at the surrounding environment. They were both familiar and unfamiliar with this hutong. Three years ago, they came to Beijing to study with longing for the future. A few days after reporting, they had been here. However, in just three years, this place had changed so much that they couldn't recognize it, and the gap with their memory was a bit big.
They remembered very clearly that this courtyard seemed to be the office space of some government agency. And, before they came, it had just rained, and the ground of the hutong was full of muddy puddles everywhere. If they were not careful, they would step into them and splash mud all over. After going back at night, not only their shoes but even their trouser legs were muddy.
But look now, the ground is paved with granite marble, flat and clean. Along the wall roots, in the carefully built flower beds, colorful flowers are blooming brightly.
And those tall ginkgo trees, with lush branches and leaves, are like huge green umbrellas, covering the entire hutong. In this scorching summer, being under this green shade, one can feel a trace of coolness, transparent and comfortable.
"Big sister!" Fourth Sister came out of the courtyard, saw Zhou Anqin, shouted, and then ran over.
"Great aunt!" Su Su also came out, running behind Fourth Sister's butt.
"Slow down!" Zhou Anqin greeted quickly: "Fourth Sister, watch Su Su, what if she falls?"
Fourth Sister giggled: "A small child, falling makes her tougher!"
Zhou Anqin rolled her eyes at Fourth Sister, then bent down to pick up the pouncing Su Su, and then introduced her to Liu Zhenyan and the others: "This is my niece, called Zhou Le, nickname Su Su."
As she spoke, Zhou Anqin rubbed Fourth Sister's head: "This is my Fourth Sister, my youngest sister, called Zhou Anning."
"So cute!" Mu Yun stretched out her hand, first pinched Fourth Sister's chubby little face, and then grabbed Su Su's little hand: "You are so beautiful!"
Su Su blinked her big eyes, looked at Mu Yun, and then at Zhou Anqin, as if asking what she should call her.
Zhou Anqin kissed the little one's face: "This is Aunt Mu, Aunt Liu, Aunt Zou, Aunt Huang, Aunt Zheng."
"Hello, Aunties!" The little one called out generously, not shy at all.
"Hello, sisters!" Before Zhou Anqin could speak, Fourth Sister called out 'Hello, sisters' properly.
Huang Liming complained: "You didn't say there were children at home, we didn't even prepare gifts."
"I just don't want you to buy things!" Zhou Anqin said while holding Su Su: "Let's go in!"
After entering the gate, Liu Zhenyan and the others' eyes were not enough. From entering the courtyard to the second courtyard, then to the third courtyard, and then to the fourth courtyard, it gave several girls too much shock. It was really a scene in every courtyard, making people feel relaxed and happy when they were in it.
"This courtyard, plus the east and west cross-courtyards, has a total of more than 20 guest rooms." Zhou Anqin pushed open a guest room at will, seeing Sister Zhang, who was responsible for the hygiene of the fourth courtyard, cleaning inside: "Sister Zhang!"
Sister Zhang raised her head, and when she saw Zhou Anqin, a smile immediately appeared on her face: "Xiaoqin is back."
"Holiday!" Zhou Anqin responded, and then asked: "I brought a few classmates, they need to live at home for a while."
"This room is occupied by the Chairman," Sister Zhang said. "Mr. Gu is living in the one opposite. Any other room is fine."
"Okay!" Zhou Anqin nodded, turned to Liu Zhenyan and the others, and said: "This room and the one opposite are occupied, you can choose any other room, it doesn't matter which one you live in."
Liu Zhenyan and the others looked at each other. It could be said that their brains had been in a state of shutdown. In fact, everything here gave them too much shock.
Zhou Anqin said her brother's house was relatively large, and she had a separate study. At that time, they had already imagined how big 'relatively large' was in Zhou Anqin's mouth.
But the reality had exceeded their imagination too much, and 'relatively large' in Zhou Anqin's mouth was actually so big that they couldn't imagine it.
Seeing that several people didn't move, Zhou Anqin walked to the room next door and pushed open the door: "Sister Yan'er, you live in this room!"
Liu Zhenyan came back to her senses, carried the bag with clothes to change, and walked in. Mu Yun and the others looked at each other and followed into the room, and their eyes were not enough again.
They were studying design. Although it was fashion design, they still understood the use of light, space, and color. The decoration of the guest room in front of them really made their eyes light up.
Retro, but not old-fashioned at all. There was no dullness of Chinese-style decoration, but rather very transparent, and the sensory experience was very comfortable.
"Xiaoqin!" Zheng Weihong, who had been silent, asked the question everyone cared about most: "What does your brother do?"
"Wait for him to come back, and you will know." Zhou Anqin laughed, and then pushed open the bathroom door: "This is the bathroom, you can take a bath inside, and the toiletries are also new, you can use them by the way."
Zhou Anqin was still holding Su Su, just like holding a small stove, and put her down: "Fourth Sister, you take Su Su to play."
Fourth Sister, standing at the door, nodded and beckoned to Su Su: "Su Su, go, Old Aunt will take you to buy ice cream."
When Su Su heard there was ice cream to eat, she ran out with her little legs: "Old Aunt, I want cream ice cream!"
Watching Fourth Sister holding Su Su's little hand and walking away, Zhou Anqin smiled and said to Zou Hui and the others: "Let's go, you choose the room first, and I will take you to the study to see, which is where we will work for a period of time in the future."
Zheng Weihong and the others followed Zhou Anqin out. Liu Zhenyan looked silently, looked there, wandered around the room several times, and then came to the bed, throwing herself onto the bed.
"This bed is too comfortable." Liu Zhenyan rolled twice on the bed and became even more curious about Zhou Anqin's brother. ===== CHAPTER 2393 =====
