NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Zi Qiuli stopped and watched for a while, then pointed to a table in the far hall and said to Zhang Jinshui: "Come on, let's sit at the table of Zi's core nephew."

At this time, Zhang Jinshui finally saw the layout of the auditorium clearly.

In the deepest part of the auditorium is a huge round table that can seat at least 20 people.

Looking from a distance, the one sitting in the middle is a white-haired old man, who should be the old man of the Zi family, Zi Mighty.

Below the big table, there are three ordinary round tables in a row. There are six rows in total. Each table can seat 11 or 2 people. There is enough space between the tables for people to pass by.

"Zhang Jinshui, it's Zhang Jinshui!"

"Why are you so excited as a Lakers fan? Zhang Jinshui belongs to our Rockets!"

Zhang Jinshui followed Zi Qiuli a few steps in, and immediately heard the children beside him whispering excitedly.

Zhang Jinshui couldn't help smiling, meeting a few Rockets fans in this place, even if it was just a child, still made him feel good.

However, after walking one or two tables further, when all the adults were sitting around, their gazes were much more complicated, and some even showed sarcasm.

"He must be Zhang Jinshui."

"He has a simple mind and well-developed limbs, yet he still wants to challenge Joey Bush one-on-one."

"Yes, what age is it?"

......

Zhang Jinshui listened in his ears and sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

He didn't think that the people sitting in this room would accidentally let him hear the voice of the conversation.

Obviously, some people did it on purpose, and the purpose was naturally very clear, which was to anger him, Zhang Jinshui.

Therefore, Zhang Jinshui will not be fooled by this.

At this moment, Zhang Jinshui saw Zi Chunlin in a white dress walking over quickly.

"Jin Shui, are you okay?" Zi Chunlin looked up at Zhang Jinshui, with an apologetic expression on her face. In front of everyone, she held Zhang Jinshui's hand without hesitation.

The surrounding discussions immediately became more commotion.

Zhang Jinshui was moved. Zi Chunlin held her hand in public, which actually expressed her attitude very clearly. It could even be said that she was forcing her parents and grandfather to some extent.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "It was fine at first, but now, it feels so wonderful."

Zi Chunlin's pretty face couldn't help but blushed, and she gave Zhang Jinshui an angry look. In the final analysis, she was still a shy person in her bones.

However, the current situation is special, it is a trivial matter to be teased by your boyfriend, and the attitude that should be expressed in front of everyone must be expressed.

Zi Chunlin didn't let go, but pulled Zhang Jinshui to the right round table next to the core round table.

Sitting on this table are Zi Chusheng, Zi Junjie and other core members of the younger generation of the Zi family.

Joey Bush was also sitting among them. When he saw Zi Chunlin pulling Zhang Jinshui over, his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and showed a warm smile to Zi Chunlin. .

Zhang Jinshui stared dumbfounded. Frankly speaking, he already admired Joey Bush a little.

To put it mildly, this guy is really infatuated with Zi Chunlin. To put it bluntly, this guy has brought out the true qualities of dog licking and turtle man to the extreme.

Zi Chunlin didn't even look at George Bush, and said to Zhang Jinshui in a loud voice: "Jin Shui, you and my brother should sit at this table. I'll sit across from you. Call me if you have anything to do. , I will take you to see my parents."

Zhang Jinshui nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, you go, don't worry about me."

At this time, even many elders sitting at the main table looked over, including the third uncle and third aunt of Zi Chunlin whom Zhang Jinshui had met.

Zhang Jinshui took a rough look. Apart from the third uncle and the third aunt, there were several middle-aged couples of the same age sitting on that table, including Zi Chunlin's parents, but Zhang Jinshui couldn't tell them apart for the time being. .

But unlike Uncle and Aunt's unkind faces, the other people's self-cultivation is obviously much better, and they didn't reveal too much emotion.

As for Zi Chunlin's grandfather Zi Weiwu who was sitting at the head of the table, Zhang Jinshui finally saw his face clearly.

Zi Weiwu was wearing a white coat. His face was thin and wrinkled. His silver-white short hair was thinning, but he was very strong. He was talking with two old people from the beautiful country who were not too young. He didn't look over.

After Zi Chunlin left, Zhang Jinshui and Zi Qiuli sat in their seats together.

Zhang Jinshui took a sip of the tea on the table in front of him, and began to look at the environment of the auditorium on the ground. As for the rubbish at the same table, he had no right to see it.

Zi Qiuli was originally afraid that Zhang Jinshui would feel uncomfortable at this table, so at the beginning, he kept talking to Zhang Jinshui, chatting about some things.

Chatting and chatting, Zi Qiuli found that Zhang Jinshui was really not restrained at all, and even leisurely grabbed the peanuts and melon seeds on the table and began to eat them.

Therefore, Zi Qiuli secretly gave Zhang Jinshui a thumbs up to express his admiration, and stopped actively looking for any topics, just chatting with him casually.

However, Zhang Jinshui's inner strength belongs to inner strength, but it cannot conceal the fact that his situation is actually quite embarrassing at this time.

Many of the Zi family's children around were whispering to each other while secretly looking at Zhang Jinshui's situation.

Those people may not all hate Zhang Jinshui. After all, whether Zi Chunlin is with Zhang Jinshui or Joey Bush in the end has little effect on most of the collateral children.

However, what is certain is that those ambiguous gazes projected over represent the mentality of many people gloating at the theater.

They should all want to see where Zhang Jinshui will go in the end in this embarrassing situation.

About 20 minutes later, a group of servants poured into the auditorium, and began to clean up the snacks and tea from each table, and put a series of Chinese dishes on each table.

After a while, each table was filled with more than a dozen dishes.

Braised pork, stewed duck, scallion fish, yellow vegetables in soup, braised lion head, halal hairy crab...

One after another, all of them were exquisite dishes full of the Jiangnan style of Huaguo. Zhang Jinshui's index finger moved a lot, and a lot of saliva was secreted from his mouth unconsciously.

Next, a middle-aged man with a majestic face stood up at the main table, waved his hand and said: "Everyone be quiet, let the old man tell everyone a few words."

In the auditorium, it was immediately quiet.

Then, Zi Weiwu, a vigorous old man from the Zi family, stood up and said in a moderate voice without any fuss:

"Another year has passed, and I, an old man, am very happy to see everyone!

This year, our family dinner has a total of 19 tables, 2 tables more than last year.

What does this mean?It shows that the population of our Zi family is getting more and more prosperous, and we have made more and more friends.

I know, in previous years you were tired of my old man talking nonsense, so today I will stop talking nonsense.

Come on, let's toast together and wish the Zi family a good year in the new year. "

After finishing speaking, Zi Weiwu raised the wine in his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The others got up one after another, followed the old man and poured all the wine in the glass into their mouths. Zhang Jinshui couldn't drink, so he replaced the wine with tea and drank up the boiled water in the glass.

Then, Zi Weiwu put the wine glass on the table and said: "Okay, that's it for now, let's eat while it's hot."

This old man is a neat person.

Zhang Jinshui thought to himself, he was not polite, sat down, put a lion's head into his bowl, and started to eat.

After eating for about ten minutes, Zhang Jinshui saw that people at other tables started to stand up one after another, and people at each table started holding wine glasses together, and went to the main table to toast to the old man of the Zi family.

Zhang Jinshui didn't take it seriously at first, but Zi Chusheng, who was at the same table, suddenly said after a while, "Brothers, the old rules, let's go to toast the old man together."

The children of the Zi family at this table stood up one after another, Zi Qiuli also put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said to Zhang Jinshui: "You eat here first, and I will go with them to toast grandpa and come back."

Zhang Jinshui nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

However, what Zhang Jinshui and Zi Qiuli didn't expect was that after Zi Chusheng and the others stood up, Zi Chusheng suddenly asked Joey Bush: "Accompanying my grandfather is one of the largest investment banks in the beautiful country, Morgan Stanley." Danley’s chairman, Morgan, should have been your economics tutor at UCLA, right?”

Joey Bush nodded, and said, "Yes, Mr. Morgan is a visiting professor at UCLA. He taught a course in principles of economics at UCLA. Both Zi Chunlin and I took that course."

Zi Chusheng said: "Then why don't you come with us to toast my grandfather, and you can also toast Mr. Morgan by the way."

Joey Bush readily agreed, filled his glass and stood up.

But now, there was only Zhang Jinshui sitting in front of the table alone.

Such a situation, no matter how you look at it, looks like Zhang Jinshui is isolated.

Moreover, considering Zhang Jinshui's purpose of coming here today and the grievances between him and Joey Bush, Zhang Jinshui seemed to be overwhelmed by Joey Bush.

Thinking about it with his ass, he knew that Zi Chusheng did this on purpose to disgust Zhang Jinshui.

Zi Qiuli couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zhang Jinshui: "Jin Shui, go, come with me to toast my grandfather."

Seeing this, Zi Chusheng frowned slightly and said, "Qiu Li, the younger generation of our Zi family went to toast the elders. Joey is Mr. Morgan's student, so he went with him. Zhang Jinshui is an outsider, so it is not suitable to toast the bar." .”

Zi Qiuli is usually joking, but it doesn't mean he has no temper at all. He sneered and said loudly: "Just because of Zhang Jinshui's relationship with me and Zi Chunlin, how can he be considered an outsider?"

Without waiting for Zi Chunsheng to speak, Zhang Jinshui picked up his teacup and stood up, and said leisurely: "Yes, based on my relationship with Zi Chunlin and Zi Qiuli, it is not too much to say that the old man of the Zi family is my own grandfather. Let's toast, won't you?"

Zi Chusheng's expression hesitated, he really wanted to hang Zhang Jinshui here, so as to help Joey Bush breathe a sigh of relief.

However, preventing others from toasting their grandfather is somewhat untenable logically.

The other Zi family children persuaded: "Forget it, Brother Chu Sheng, let him go. Anyway, even if he goes, no one knows him, and he is the one who is embarrassed. Don't waste your saliva with him."

Only then did Zi Chusheng stop talking, and took the lead towards the main table.

To be honest, Zhang Jinshui didn't really care much about whether to toast Zi Chunlin's grandfather, anyway, he hadn't formally met Zi Chunlin's grandfather yet.

But to make Zi Chusheng and Joey Bush unhappy, he still didn't mind moving his butt and walking around.

As for whether the person at the main table will ignore him or not, Zhang Jinshui doesn't care at all.

Zhang Jinshui followed the crowd to the main table. Zi Chusheng first said some beautiful words to Zi Weiwu on behalf of the younger generations, which made Zi Weiwu laugh. It can be seen that Zi Weiwu is quite satisfied with Zi Chusheng, the eldest grandson. .

Then, Zi Chusheng toasted a glass of wine to Mr. Morgan, who was tall and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and then pushed Joey Bush to the eyes of Zi Weiwu and Mr. Morgan, and claimed that Joey Bush was his own good friend.

Zi Weiwu naturally knew about Joey Bush early on. Taking this opportunity, he showed a kind smile and chatted with Joey Bush enthusiastically.

Zi Chusheng added fuel to the flames and kept on talking.

From Joey Bush graduating from UCLA with honors as an outstanding student, we talked about how he is now engaged in the restructuring of listed companies at JB Motor Bank, and then we talked about how he and Zi Chunlin have been classmates since high school.

Coupled with Mr. Morgan's praise for the student Joy Bush, it seems that Joy Bush has been promoted as the protagonist of this toast.

In contrast, Zhang Jinshui has been standing behind the crowd in obscurity, and no one cares about it.

In this round, Zhang Jinshui was overwhelmed by Joey Bush visibly.

Zi Chusheng did not forget to look at Zhang Jinshui proudly, and this look happened to be caught by Zi Qiuli.

Zi Qiuli exploded immediately, pulled Zhang Jinshui out of the crowd, and said to Zi Weiwu: "Grandpa, let me introduce you to my good friend, Zhang Jinshui. In the past six months, Zhang Jinshui and I, And Chunlin, we did some things together."

His behavior was undoubtedly a bit reckless, after all, the chat between Zi Weiwu and Joey Bush was not over yet.

Zi Weiwu suppressed his smile, and looked back at Zi Qiuli and Zhang Jinshui expressionlessly.

He hadn't spoken yet, but he didn't expect that Mr. Morgan's eyes lit up next to him, and he said with great interest: "So Zhang Jinshui is here too. I've heard of you for a long time. Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Morgan."
