Chapter 520 Hongmen Banquet, the lion opened his mouth

Hongmen Banquet!
That's right, for the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family, Qiao Zuwang asked them to come back for dinner, which was a serious Hongmen banquet.

Having been the children of the Qiao family for so many years, they are all clear about the virtues of their father.

If something good happens, they will never think of these children at all, and only when they are needed, will they think of looking for them.

It has been a long time since the last family group meeting. This time, Qiao Zuwang called everyone back to hold a family meeting again. It was obviously planned.

When Zhou Chen and the others walked into Qiao's courtyard, they found that Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei had arrived. Besides the two of them, Qiao Zuwang was already sitting in the main room.

But to their surprise, there was a strange man squatting by the threshold in front of the house.

Seeing this strange man, Qiao Yicheng asked suspiciously, "Who is he?"

Qiao Zuwang, who was in the room, came out angrily, pointed at Qiao Simei and scolded: "Ask your sister, what did this dead girl do, she has completely embarrassed our Qiao family."

Hearing that it was related to Qiao Simei, Qiao Yicheng frowned suddenly, and a ridiculous guess appeared in his heart.

"Simei, what the hell is going on? Who is he and why did he bring him to our house?"

Qiao Simei walked up to the man, pulled him up, and introduced him generously: "Brother, this is my boyfriend, Qi Chenggang, who just returned from the army."

"Boy friend?"

Both Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli's expressions changed slightly. After something bad happened to Qiao Simei, they inexplicably had a bad feeling for Qiao Simei's boyfriend. There is a problem with good eyesight.

On the contrary, after Zhou Chen knew that this man was Qi Chenggang, he showed a half-smile expression.

This Qiao Simei is really a dog who can't change and eats shit. She was fooled once, and she is still fooled. Even after many years, her love brain has not changed at all.

The lessons learned in Shaoyang were not enough, and she unexpectedly met a similar man again. It can be said that she was unlucky, or it could be said that she asked for trouble.

"As far as I know, the annual retirement period hasn't come yet, right? It's only a short time after the year, and there is still a long time before the retirement period."

Zhou Chen's words made everyone's faces change suddenly, because none of them had served in the army, so they didn't know much about being discharged from the army.

Qiao Zuwang asked eagerly, "Zhou Chen, you mean it's not time for soldiers to retire?"

"Correct."

After getting an affirmative answer, Qiao Zuwang pointed at Qiao Simei angrily and asked, "Qiao Simei, what's going on? You came back before the discharge period. I don't think you are discharged from the army, but you were fired?"

Qiao Simei gave Zhou Chen a dissatisfied look, and then explained: "Dad, it's not called dismissal in the army, it's called..."

"No matter what my name is, since this kid was fired by the army, he must not be a good person. Let him go quickly."

"Dad, Cheng Gang is my boyfriend. Why should I drive him away? I don't agree."

Qiao Simei retorted loudly that Qi Chenggang met her love requirements, and she had liked him for so long, how could she drive him away just because of Qiao Zuwang's words.

Qiao Zu sighed and said: "This is my home, I don't welcome this kid, if you don't want him to go alone, then you can go with him."

Qiao Simei pouted and said, "If you drive me away, I won't hand over any money to you in the future."

"Hey, you stinky girl, you dare to contradict me for a wild man?"

As soon as the younger daughter said that she would not pay, Qiao Zuwang's aura suddenly weakened by most of it, "You are raised by me, and it is only right and proper to give money to me. I don't think you dare to give it."

"If you want to drive me away, then I won't give it up." Qiao Simi refused to budge.

Zhou Chen looked at Qi Chenggang and couldn't help admiring this man's thick skin.

If it were any normal man, in this situation, there would be no face left, but this kid just stood there blankly, motionless as if he didn't hear it.

In the end, Qiao Erqiang came out to smooth things over: "Dad, let's not talk about Simei, you called us back today, didn't you say that you want to have a family meeting, you go to the house first, I will make dinner, and we will have a meeting while eating .”

Qiao Zuwang got down the steps, so he snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the room.

"What evil did I do in my previous life, and what kind of things did I have?"

Qiao Yicheng also glanced at Qiao Simei in dissatisfaction, but Qiao Simei didn't take it seriously at all, and still held Qi Chenggang's arm, looking affectionate.

Qiao Yicheng was also very helpless, so he had no choice but to stop looking at her, and asked Qiao Erqiang, "Er Qiang, why didn't my siblings come over today?"

Qiao Erqiang forced a smile and said, "Xiaomo has something to do today, so I didn't let her come over."

In fact, his marriage with Sun Xiaomo has come to an end, and they are short of divorce. It's just that this step has been entangled for a long time, and they haven't taken it until now.

And now his mind is no longer on Sun Xiaomo, his mind is all on his master.

"Okay, then I'll help you."

"No, brother, I can do it by myself, you take sister-in-law into the room and sit down, chat with Zhou Chen and the others."

In the end, it was Qiao Sanli who took the initiative to help in the kitchen. Wen Ju'an also wanted to go, but Qiao Sanli pushed her out.

Wen Ju'an and Qiao Yicheng have been married for so long, and Qiao's family naturally knows what kind of person Wen Ju'an is. I haven't done much washing pots and dishes.

In the end, Zhou Chen and Qiao Yicheng were sitting in the main room, while Qiao Simei and Qi Chenggang were still standing outside.

Qiao Zuwang was very aggressive towards Qi Chenggang just now, and his attitude towards Wen Ju'an was not very good, but he was very kind towards Zhou Chen.

The reason why he didn't have a good attitude towards Wen Ju'an was naturally because Qiao Yicheng's daughter, his own granddaughter, was surnamed Wen instead of Qiao.

On this point, even after such a long time, he still did not swallow this breath.

"Zhou Chen, I heard from Simei that Qiqi is now following you and working at your place, right?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Qiqi is indeed following me now, but it is not for work, but for study. I have discussed with Qi Weimin. I will take Qiqi with me for a few years. When he matures, I will find a way to arrange him. To work in a hospital pharmacy."

"Go to work in the hospital, this is good, this is good."

Hearing that Qiao Qiqi was studying and not working, Qiao Zuwang felt sorry.

Originally thought that the youngest son also went to work to earn money, so he could ask for more money, but now it seems that this idea is about to fail.

"How is Sanli doing in your factory? I heard that you don't plan to take over from your parents, but want Sanli to take over. Is this true?"

When Qiao Zuwang heard this, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Now who doesn't know the name of Chen Xing, a big company with over [-] million assets.

Qiao Zuwang really couldn't understand that such a family business would not be inherited, but he wanted to become a teacher at a university, and felt that Zhou Chen's mind was broken.

But what makes him happy is that Zhou Chen is actually planning to let his daughter take over, which makes him excited.

That's Chen Xing, if Sanli becomes the proprietress, as long as there is a little leakage between his fingers, he will have no worries about eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

Zhou Chen replied calmly: "There is a plan, but this requires a process, and it depends on Sanli's ability to learn and accept."

Qiao Zuwang said happily: "That's definitely no problem. Sanli is such a smart girl, a college student, it's absolutely no problem. It's no problem at all to entrust your factory to her management."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Of course I hope so too."

Qiao Yicheng suddenly warned from the side: "Dad, I told you in advance that even if Sanli really becomes a manager in the future, don't bother Sanli."

Qiao Zu looked at it, and scolded angrily: "Qiao Yicheng, look at what you are talking about, I am Sanli's father, and I will cause her trouble?"

"That's impossible to say."

"You white-eyed wolf, I raised you for nothing. I think you're only willing to make me mad, right?"

Qiao Zu was furious and cursed. Among the several children, Qiao Yicheng made him the most angry. He was like this since he was a child, and he still is like this now.

The meal is ready quickly, and the family sits together around the table.

Although Qiao Zuwang was very dissatisfied with Qi Chenggang's existence, under the persuasion of several people, he let Qiao Simi and Qi Chenggang sit down.

A small square table finally sat eight people, which seemed very crowded.

Qiao Erqiang's cooking skills are still good, but except for Qiao Zuwang who ate with gusto, the rest of the people moved their chopsticks a few times and stopped eating.

Qiao Zuwang sipped the wine, slapped his chopsticks on the table, and began to lecture.

"Today, I called all of you back because I think some things should be discussed again. First of all, it is my pension issue."

As expected of Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Zuwang did not disappoint at all. He didn't even lay the groundwork for the prelude, and directly talked about the first topic of today's meeting.

Qiao Zuwang felt very uncomfortable seeing his children not talking to each other. None of the five children was filial.

"We had a meeting before and talked about my pension, but that was a few years ago. Naturally, the prices a few years ago are not comparable to now, and this time, [-]%, [-]% and [-]% , you have already married, this issue must be re-discussed, are you all okay?"

Qiao Erqiang said: "I'm fine, Dad, what do you want to do?"

Qiao Sanli and Zhou Chen looked at each other, then looked at Qiao Yicheng, and said, "Dad, I'll listen to elder brother."

Qiao Zu looked at it, and immediately became anxious: "It's a discussion about giving me a pension, why do you listen to it?"

Qiao Yicheng said indifferently: "I am the eldest son and elder brother. I have the greatest say in your pension issues."

"you……"

"Dad, don't you admit this? If you don't admit it, as long as you say something, I promise not to interfere in your affairs in the future, and I don't care about it."

Qiao Zuwang was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he cursed inwardly, the eldest son has studied for so many years and became a reporter, his words are really getting worse.

Qiao Simi also said at the right time: "I also listen to my elder brother."

The two little padded jackets were leaking, Qiao Zuwang had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Qiao Yicheng asked, "Dad, why don't you tell me what you think first, how much do you want?"

Qiao Zuwang slammed the table: "What do you call that? How much money do you want? Could it be that you and I are the kind of people who recognize money but don't recognize people?"

"Hehe." Qiao Yicheng responded with a sneer.

Qiao Zuwang kept reassuring himself, don't be angry, don't be angry...

"Now the price is not comparable to a few years ago, and my health is getting worse day by day. I often need to buy some medicine to replenish my body, which is also a big expense."

Qiao Yicheng suddenly smiled and said: "Dad, I don't think you need to worry about this. Zhou Chen is a doctor, and this is his specialty. He can check your body regularly, even if you want to buy any medicine or take any medicine , he can help you solve it, right, Zhou Chen?"

Zhou Chen said very cooperatively: "Yes, that's right, I can check your body regularly. It doesn't cost money. If you buy medicine, I can also get a very cheap price."

Qiao Zuwang wanted to slap himself, he only thought about how to get more money, he completely forgot that Zhou Chen graduated from medical school and is still teaching in medical school.

"Uh, I'll talk about this later. Let me talk about my pension first. After comparing and calculating, I now spend about 500 yuan a month."

"500 yuan?"

The children of Qiao's family all cried out in shock. Even Qiao Erqiang, who had the highest salary among them, was only paid just over [-] yuan. This was because he became a small leader.

Although Qiao Yicheng is a reporter, his basic salary is not high, but the TV station pays him well.

Qiao Sanli is also working in Chenxing now, but starting from the grassroots, her salary is not high. Qiao Simi works as a waiter in Jinling Hotel, and her salary is even more limited.

This is only 94 years, not many jobs can reach 500 yuan a month.

500 yuan is enough to feed a family of several people, how dare Qiao Zuwang ask for [-] yuan alone?
Qiao Zuwang didn't think there was a problem at all, and said calmly: "I calculated this figure based on your salary and my needs. It's just my living expenses, and the rest includes nutrition expenses, and I'm getting older now. You must not drink loose wine when drinking, loose wine hurts your body, you must get some good wine to drink, Sanli, Zhou Chen, you can't shirk this aspect."

Qiao Sanli frowned and said, "Dad, what do you mean, let Zhou Chen and I buy wine for you?"

Qiao Zuwang said as a matter of course: "That's right, Zhou Chen's family is powerful and powerful, and he will definitely be able to buy good wine. I can rest assured that I will leave it to him."

Zhou Chen secretly laughed in his heart, this cheap father-in-law really has a lot to say.

"Dad, I think it's best not to drink if you want not to hurt your health."

When Zhou Chen said this, Qiao Zuwang became unhappy: "What is this called? I have been drinking for decades. If I stop drinking, it will kill me. No, no."

Qiao Yicheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he interrupted directly: "Dad, you didn't do this, if you want to drink, you can buy it yourself, don't bother Sanli and Zhou Chen, they are very busy and don't have time to buy it for you What a good wine."

"Also, the 500 yuan you just mentioned, and the nutrition fee, we need to renegotiate."

Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "You mean that I want too much? Well, I have worked hard and brought you up one by one. Now that you are all capable and rich, you don't want to worry about me, an old man. It's gone, isn't it?"

"No one wants to care about you, but you can't talk like a lion and ask for money."

"Why am I asking for money? What's wrong with me asking for 500 yuan? You, Qiao Yicheng, live in a small mansion now, and you are in front of a big reporter; your sister Sanli is about to inherit billions of dollars, and even the second-ranked one is now They are all leaders, living in a two-bedroom apartment, I need some living expenses, what's the matter? What is this money to you?"

Qiao Zuwang patted the table several times, and said loudly: "500 yuan is the minimum standard, [-]% and Sanli, each of your two families will give you [-] yuan, and the second and fourth beauty will pay [-] yuan each; and Simei is now Living at home, utilities, rent, food, plus an extra hundred."

Qiao Yicheng and the others frowned. Except for Qiao Simei, in fact, all three of them could afford the money.

But the problem is, they know Qiao Zuwang too well, he dared to ask for five hundred today, and in two years, he dared to ask for one thousand.

What's more, their wages are only a few hundred yuan now, especially Qiao Yicheng, whose mother-in-law has already looked down on him. If they give Qiao Zuwang another one hundred and fifty, then the rest of his salary will be rich and supportive. Wife and children, that is a fool's dream.

For Qiao Erqiang, paying [-] a month is not too much, but he also has his own ideas. He wants to let the master live a good life, so he has been saving money now, preparing to buy a house and support the master, mother and child Two, every penny is important to him now.

Qiao Sanli doesn't care. Although her salary is only in the early [-]s, she doesn't spend money on food, drink and housing. It's just that she doesn't want to spoil Qiao Zuwang.

Qiao Simei was almost on the verge of jumping. As a waiter, she already earned hard money and her salary was not high.

If she pays two hundred all at once, most of her salary is gone. How can she survive?
Qiao Zuwang didn't care so much, anyway, he made up his mind today, and he was determined not to take a step back.

In fact, in his opinion, 500 yuan is too little. If he didn't count on his daughter Qiao Sanli in the future, he even thought that Sanli and Zhou Chen's family could pay [-] yuan.

His idea is very simple, his children are living a good life, and as a father, he should enjoy the blessings, 500 yuan is just the beginning.
