Chapter 372 Testing
Le Xiao When classmate Le Xiao was receiving visitors in the dormitory, Mr. Chao's family also sent away more than ten guests who had sent invitations, and welcomed another group of visitors - Lieutenant General Yuan and his grandson Yuan Weijie came to the door.
During the New Year's Day holiday, Mr. Yuan also took the vacation at home. He deliberately found out where the young and old of the Chao family were spending the New Year's Day, and took his grandson to the second master Chao's house with gifts.
Uncle Hu invited the Yuan family's ancestors and grandson into the small side hall on the first floor.
Xiao Lele revealed his medical talent, and the three Chao brothers also predicted that there would be a lot of visitors in the recent period. If entertaining guests on the second floor would affect their family's life, they temporarily used the small hall on the first floor as a reception for guests.
In addition to the banquet hall on the first floor of the villa, there are also two medium and small halls. The small hall is originally the place to receive distinguished guests when there is a large banquet. It is full of everything. It is similar to a public reception room. There are seats in the middle and two seats on both sides. There are seats, and there are small tables with tea cups and snacks between the seats.
Mrs. Chao also brought her baby back to accompany the old man and his wife. Old Mrs. Chao, Mr. Chao and his brothers and sisters lived at home on the second floor, while their sons were in charge of the downstairs.
The three brothers took turns to be in charge of waiting for the guests, and one couple was in charge for two hours. After waiting for the guests, they took a rest. Chao Yi and his wife started work at eight o'clock, and Chao Er and his wife took over at ten o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Chao Er received a group of guests as soon as they took over. Less than five minutes after seeing off the guests, Mr. Yuan arrived with his grandson.
Uncle Hu invited Mr. Yuan into the small hall and helped a pair of grandparents and grandsons hang their coats on the clothes rack at the door. Mr. Chao greeted warmly: "Which fragrant wind blew today brought Mr. Yuan to the humble house, please." Please take a seat."
"Dr. Chao, I'm ashamed to say that I shamelessly came here today to apologize to the little girl of the Chao family for my unfulfilled grandson." Mr. Yuan entered the hall and saw Mr. and Mrs. Chao, and he was heartbroken. Suddenly, Mr. Chao, his wife, Chao Yi and Chao San avoided seeing each other, fearing that it would be difficult to talk about their grandson's affairs.
The furnishings in the Chao family's living room are all high-end and light in color. They are not as serious as the reception halls of the public sector, but still have a very formal feel. Young Master Yuan was nervous and did not dare to take a random look. He held the gift box in his hand and looked at it honestly. Follow your grandfather.
"Mr. Yuan, please sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to say." Mr. Chao laughed and helped Mr. Yuan sit down.
Standing and talking was not an issue, so Old Guest Yuan followed the host and sat down at the guest seat. Young Master Yuan put the gift he brought on the ground facing the small table, with only half of his butt touching the sofa.
The domestic servant brought tea and fruits and then left silently.
Chao Sheng'an drank tea with Mr. Yuan.
Mr. Yuan took a few sips of tea and asked, "Dr. Chao, are Brother Chao and the little girl back?" "
No." Chao Sheng'an smiled broadly: "Yesterday, Xiao Lele and Xiao Bo went back to school. Xiao Lele I'm getting some medicine. I said I won't have time to come back during the New Year's Day holiday. Xiaobo will probably come back tomorrow. A few guests just sent messages to invite our little girl. We brothers decided to wait until the evening to tell the child to avoid having to fight again and again. The phone call disturbed Xiao Lele's study and work. If Mr. Yuan has something to ask our little Lele about, he might as well tell us, and we brothers will also report it when we call our children at night." "Dr. Chao, I'm not afraid of
your jokes, either. My unsatisfactory grandson did something stupid to the little girl. Today, I gave up my face and brought my grandson to apologize to the Chao family and the little girl. I dare not ask the little girl to do anything. I just hope that the little girl will give me this. Grandson's opportunity to correct his mistakes."
Old Yuan's face heated up, and he sighed when he mentioned what he wanted.
Mr. Yuan lowered his head and did not dare to move.
Chao Sheng'an understood what he was referring to and answered lightly: "Mr. Yuan is probably talking about Mr. Yuan molesting my little girl in the swimming pool. He also took advantage of the weak situation and acted like a hooligan to take advantage of Xiao Lele."
When Yuan Weijie heard what Mr. Chao said, he knew that the young and old of the Chao family had long known that he had taken advantage of the little girl. His heart beat like a drum. Mr. Chao would never let him go if he knew he was teasing his sister!
Thumb, thump, there was a thump in Mr. Yuan's heart again. The Chao family knew about it, which meant that the little girl told the Chao family about his grandson and two boys playing gangsters on her. Now that Chao Er said it so calmly, he probably wanted to kill his grandson. Do you have your heart?
"It's...that thing," Mr. Yuan felt ashamed, "It's because Quanzi and I neglected to discipline the child, so that he grew crooked, and even took advantage of the girl outside, causing the little girl to be wronged. My grandson did this Such a shameful thing happened, and even I feel ashamed to see people. I will bring people here, beat or scold them, no matter how the punishment is, I will never complain." Yuan Weijie stiffened and stood up, standing straight and uneasy
. Lowering her head: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Chao Dongchao, it was my fault. I apologize to the little girl, and I am willing to bear the consequences of my mistake." Mrs. Chao Er's eyes were indifferent, and she did not say
forgive or not forgive.
"Mr. Yuan, we can't make the decision in this matter," Chao Sheng'an's tone was still so calm: "Xiao Lele told us the night before that he was played a hooligan by three young men. My old man and my old lady were so angry that they threw their arms around. Brother Bo Er and Sister Fu almost went out to find someone to settle the score at that time, but Xiao Lele persuaded the old and the young, saying to see how the three little gangsters behaved. As for what kind of performance, even us elders I don’t understand.
Mr. Yuan, you are here today. We will tell Xiao Lele in the evening. I can’t guess what the child will do. Mr. Yuan is a loyal and loyal man of the generation. He is also a family friend of my wife’s family. Let me give you some inside information. I don’t know whether it works or not. I heard from Brother Bo that Young Master Yan and Young Master Liu occasionally made Xiao Lele angry by accident. Every time they did something to help Xiao Lele solve a small trouble, they would take credit for it. Xiao Lele watched. When you don't see people or things that you don't like, you will naturally feel better, and you will no longer be angry with Young Master Yan and Young Master Liu.
As for other people bullying Xiao Lele, I just heard Bo Geer say that there is nothing good to eat in the end, even Xiao Lele If Le Bu takes action, Young Master Yan and Young Master Liu help to clean up, most of the time even my brother Bo is not available." Mrs. Chao Er
wanted to help her forehead, but her man spoke too plainly, couldn't he be more subtle and tactful? Saying it so clearly is tantamount to telling Mr. Yuan: If you really want to apologize, show some sincerity and help Xiao Lele deal with the guy she doesn't like, and she will forgive you when she is happy.
Who is the person that Xiao Lele dislikes? After asking around, I found out that it was undoubtedly Zhao Zongze, the prospective grandson-in-law of the Wang family. He was basically telling Mr. Yuan that if you really want to apologize, just show it and go deal with the person named Zhao.
When Mr. Chao "revealed" the inside story, Mr. Yuan frowned more and more. How could he help the little girl solve minor troubles and clean up unpleasant people or things?
After Mr. Chao finished chatting, Mr. Yuan solemnly thanked him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chao, for your guidance. I will go back and educate my unfulfilled grandson so that he can have a chance to perform." "But I can't afford to give you guidance
. What he said may not necessarily be the truth, so just listen to Mr. Yuan’s suggestion. After all, the elders in our family don’t quite understand Xiao Lele’s behavior.” Mr. Chao said it truthfully, and Mr. Yuan
also Instead of worrying about how to calm down the little girl, he gave the gift he brought to Chao Er and his wife to show his sincerity in apologizing.
The ancestors and grandsons of the Yuan family brought a century-old wild ginseng, two bottles of famous wine that had been stored for a hundred years, a hardcover fruit basket, and two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin.
Mr. Chao Er and Mrs. Chao Er only accepted fruit baskets.
The master did not accept gifts, so Mr. Yuan could not force him, and he was too embarrassed to ask to see Mr. and Mrs. Chao and take his grandson away.
The Chao couple didn't say they would forgive themselves, nor did they tell them to sit down. Young Master Yuan just kept standing. When he wanted to go home, he picked up the box and followed his grandfather.
Chao Er and his wife sent the Yuan family out of the villa, and Uncle Hu sent Lieutenant General Yuan out of the private garden and drove away on the road outside the garden. As soon as Mr. Yuan's car started, a Bentley came slowly.
Uncle Hu was waiting at the door of the private garden. The Bentley came to a stop outside the courtyard of Mr. Chao's house. The middle-aged man in the passenger seat quickly got out of the car and opened the door. The first person to get out was a middle-aged man who had passed the age of his life and was wearing a t-shirt. Wearing a brown Tang suit and an ankle-length windbreaker.
Immediately after, a tall young man with a Chinese character's face came out of the car. He was wearing a black suit and a thin woolen sweater on a cold day. He looked like a green pine tree under the snow.
Uncle Hu recognized the middle-aged and elderly gentleman. He was Zhou Xin, one of the top richest men in Beijing. Zhou Xin was ranked twelfth on the rich list in Beijing.
Seeing Director Zhou, Uncle Hu bent down slightly and said, "Welcome to you, Mr. Zhou. Please invite the three of you." "
Thank you." Director Zhou nodded and strode toward Mr. Chao's villa.
Zhou Yinghao came as an entourage, and Zhou Yi followed behind Jay Chou. Zhou Yinghao did not dare to let the young master take anything, including a briefcase and a box of imported fruits.
Uncle Hu led the way and asked Jay Chou to the small living room on the first floor.
When Chao Erye and his wife heard the voices outside, they knew who was coming. They warmly welcomed Director Jay Chou and asked Uncle Hu to collect the fruits.
Chao Erye has business dealings with a subsidiary of the Zhou family. He has met him many times at business banquets, but has not had much contact with him in private. He is mostly surprised and suspicious of Director Zhou's visit.
The guest of honor sat down and the domestic servant brought Mingqian Longjing tea.
After drinking tea, Mr. Chao said cheerfully: "Today is such a good day. Distinguished guests came to the door one after another, and even Director Jay Chou came to visit. I feel that the Chao family washed their faces with a footbath this morning." "Dr. Chao was joking
. Well, it’s not just today that the Chao family in Kyoto used a foot basin to wash their faces. I think the basin that the Chao family used to wash their faces was the same size as the foot basin, but they recently changed it to an extra-large basin." Chao Erye subconsciously meant that because of the new
recognition The birth of a child made the Chao family rise with the tide and become extremely respectable. Director Jay Chou also had a sense of humor and praised that the Chao family has always been respectable, and having a new adopted grandson and adopted daughter is the icing on the cake.
"Oh, the extra-large basin belongs to our little girl. We brothers don't dare to use it. Our faces are too small, our talents are not good enough, and we are afraid of being criticized by thousands of people." Chao Sheng'an said with a smile on his face: "Dr. Jay is so powerful today. I don't know if there is anyone." What a beautiful thing, shouldn't he be the little dumpling who washes his face in my large basin?"
"I'm really here for the smart and cute little girl from the Chao family." Director Jay Chou didn't hide it, and frankly stated the reason for his visit: "I want to come. Mr. Chao and his wife have also heard that I have a little hobby of collecting. There will be many jewelry, jade and antique exhibitions in Beijing tomorrow. I would like to invite the two girls of the Chao family and the brothers of the Chao family to go to appreciate the treasures, so that I can also get involved. I don’t know if the brothers and girls of the Chao family are willing to reward the young people’s vitality and blessings.”
Zhou Xin handed the briefcase to Director Zhou on Monday, and Zhou Xin took out the prepared invitation and personally gave it to Chao Er and his wife as a token of appreciation. own sincerity.
"Dr. Jay's kindness, I will definitely convey this to my children tonight. As for whether my three little guys will go to play, it's hard to say. The main reason is that my little girl is preparing some medicine, and she can't even go home to play during this New Year's Day holiday. ."
"It doesn't matter, the little girl can go and play when she has time. If she doesn't have time, she will naturally put her own affairs first. If the little girl doesn't have time, the same goes for Miss Chao Er and Young Master Chao." "Haha, Director Jay, my
family Sister Fu and Brother Bo are sister-in-laws, you know."
"Hahaha, brother and sister have a deep love, which makes people envious."
"I accept this envy without mercy."
"I just found out about Mr. Chao today. He is such a wonderful person."
"Both and each other..."
After chatting for a while, Jay Chou asked tentatively: "I vaguely heard that there was a brave guy who bullied the little girl and made her unhappy. I don't know. Who is that guy who was blinded by eating lard? Is the little girl going to skin him for cramps or steam him and braise him?" "I get very angry when I
talk about that." Mentioning the bullying of the old Chao girl, Chao Sheng'an's tone was filled with displeasure: "The gangster who bullied the little girl from the old Chao family is the prospective fiancé of Mayor Wang's niece, that bastard Zhao Zongze, the stepson of Zhao Yixiong, the acting chairman of Feixia Group. The man named Zhao once met our family. The little girl is so cute, but she actually wanted to take care of our little girl. The day before yesterday, the Wang family and their prospective grandson-in-law also came. The little guy recognized the gangster young man at the old man’s birthday party and refused to toast him. Only then did we know the reason. , The old man and the old lady were almost furious at that time.
My brother and I were so angry that we also wanted to kill the guy named Zhao, but the little guy was too sensitive and was afraid of attracting criticism from us, so he wouldn’t let us teach the guy named Zhao a lesson. Although Chao said The family does not take action, but our little girl from the old Chao family was bullied under the eyes of the Chao family. This tone must be spoken. If Jay Chou or Jay Chou's close relatives have business dealings with the Zhao family, when the gangster Zhao is suppressed I also asked Director Jay to give Chao some thin noodles and
just pretend that he didn’t know anything about it.” Mr. Chao Er was filled with anger and talked a lot. Mrs. Chao Er embarrassedly apologized to Director Jay: “I made Mr. Jay laugh. , My husband was so angry with Mr. Zhao that when he mentioned it, he became explosive and ran away without realizing it, and lost his composure."
As she spoke, she handed the tea to her husband and asked him to drink some water to relieve his anger.
"Mrs. Chao Er, you don't need to pay attention to these details. Your surname is Zhou, and my surname is Zhou. Although we have the same surname but different clans, we can't write two weeks in one sentence. There is no need to be too unconventional. Besides, Director Chao is like this, which just shows that Director Chao has an upright character. Zhongren, to be honest, if there were children like the little girl in my family who were bullied, I would never rely on them and would not protect my children. No matter how much money I made, what would I do with it? I have no business dealings with the Zhao family. There is no friendship at all, so don’t worry, Mr. Chao."
The smile in Mr. Chou’s eyes was more genuine, and he reassured Chao Er and his wife that he would not support the person named Zhao, and there was no need to guard against him stabbing and causing damage.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but my hot temper made Director Jay laugh." Mr. Chao took the tea and drank it in one gulp, his face softened, and he smiled at Director Zhou with a slight embarrassment.
"It's okay, it's okay. For those kind of rich second-generation gangsters who can't become great people, Director Chao doesn't have to worry too much. The little girl is so cute, there must be someone who can help bring justice and help the little girl vent her anger." "I can't bear it
. Come on, the little guy is still so young. How could someone named Zhao have such evil thoughts? I don’t know how many little girls he has harmed. It’s unjust to not punish him. My little Lele said that she doesn’t have enough medicinal materials now. When she collects the medicinal materials, Give me some medicine so that the gangster can no longer harm girls and eliminate harm for the people. I fully support this."
Zhou Yinghao held back his laughter. The little girl looked so white and tender, and she was still so tiny. It is so surprising to think that people will never do it for the rest of their lives.
"Hahaha, the little girl's idea is wonderful. One trick can solve the problem once and for all." "
It's good, it's a little girl's medicine. The medicine makes us elders feel shy and embarrassed when we hear it..."
Jay Chou The more we chatted with Mr. Chao, the more interesting they became. After chatting for about half an hour, You still had a lot to say. Considering that the host was tired from constantly receiving guests, Director Chou took his leave.
Chao Er and his wife escorted Jay Chou out of the courtyard and watched them get into the car and drive away before returning to the villa.
Back in the small hall, Mrs. Chao Er asked strangely: "An, why did you say that to Director Jay?"
"I did it on purpose. Jay Chou's Zhou family is very mysterious. My intuition tells me that the young man who came with Jay Chou is the one who really makes the decision. It allows Jay Chou to see the young man's actions from the corner of his eye, which shows that the young man may come from the mystery behind the Zhou family. Backstage. I had no friendship with Jay Chou before, but he actually personally invited our three children to go hunting for treasures. It must be that the mysterious backstage behind Jay Chou may meet someone who needs extraordinary medical skills. I have to try the Zhou family's Attitude and reaction, you can see if they are enemies or friends, and it is also convenient to make some countermeasures in advance."
"Enemy or friends?"
"We are not enemies at the moment. With Chairman Jay's personality, he will not look down on Zhao Zongze and Zhao Yixiong. If The Zhao family is valuable to the Zhou family. The mysterious backstage behind the Zhou family will not support anyone named Zhao for the time being. Xiao Lele is worth more than the Zhao family. Even if the Zhao family is useful to the Zhou family, he will only become an abandoned son."
" You men, you
have so many twists and turns." "I can take care of the twists and turns. Madam, just do what you like."
The couple looked at each other and smiled, warmth flowing in their eyes.
When Jay Chou left, he sat in the back seat with Mr. Zhou as he had come. On Monday, he sat in the front seat with the driver. The car slowly left Mr. Chao's house. On the way, he met two more cars. Looking at the cars, he knew Mr. Zhou. They were also visiting Mr. Chao. .
"Young master, what do you think of the second master of the Chao family?" Director Zhou asked Master Zhou respectfully after leaving the villa area.
"You help stomp on that guy surnamed Zhao, let the little girl vent her anger." A smile condensed in Mr. Zhou's eyes, and his ordinary face with the Chinese character suddenly became vivid and bright.
"Yes." Dong Zhou understood what the young master meant. The young master believed that the Chao family was trustworthy, so he helped repair the family named Zhao to express the Zhou family's position to the little girl.
It is easy to step on the little Zhao Zongze. It is as easy to step on the Zhao family as it is to step on a dung beetle. Because the Feixia Group of the Zhao family is almost owned by the mother of the grandson of the He family, and the inheritance is inherited by Yan Xing, the grandson of the He family, Yan Xing. No one touched the Zhao family on the surface, otherwise someone would have cleaned up the Zhao family long ago.
