brother in modern

Elder Qin's birthday banquet was arranged in a leisure club with a spacious venue in the suburbs at least two hours away from the city center, although compared to a five-star hotel, the cost here may be more expensive.

But in terms of environment and atmosphere, while pursuing leisure and comfort, it also minimizes the luxury of suits and leather collars, jewels, cups and cups in the upper class imagined.

Those who came to the banquet also understood that they would choose to be low-key, wearing either casual clothes or clothes that are easy to exercise.

When Liang Yu and Yuan Youli arrived, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. In addition to the two brothers Zhang Kui and Zhang Biao, Wang Youzuo and Mr. Howard-Maltz, the executive president of Xudong Group's European and American regions, accompanied him. Secretary and two bodyguards.

Wang Youzuo and others did not go to the courtyard, but met Yuan Youli, Liang Yu and Zhang Biao on the way.

In view of Elder Qin's instructions, apart from the six-meter-six embroidery painting, what Liang Yu used to celebrate her birthday today was a 12-yuan, ten-inch mousse cake that was hurriedly made early in the morning.

Fortunately, I met Wang Youzuo and others on the way, otherwise, after arriving, I would have to find someone to help carry the cake when I entered the door.

It's just that Howard was curious about the fact that the CEO of his family brought so many cakes, and he said while helping: "Li, I remember that this old man is not your parents today, isn't it only the relatives who send cakes in China? Are you still working part-time in the bakery business?"

As Yuan Yuli's classmate and good friend, although Howard's Chinese inevitably has some strange emphasis of foreigners, it sounds to be an unexpected standard.

Yuan Youli showed a cordial smile and said, "If you are lucky, and you are lucky enough to taste a piece at noon, you will know the reason."

"..." Howard was stunned, looked down at the cake in his hand, raised his head for a while and said, "Why do I have a feeling that my luck will be bad after you said that?"

Wang Youzuo laughed when he heard the words: "Dear Huo, this only shows that your sixth sense has strengthened again." Mr. Qin asked for it himself, and the Qin family has two very famous sweets lovers in the circle , It's only 12 yuan, which means it looks too much. He can guarantee that these things will never reach the mouths of outsiders at noon today.

Howard, as a native of F country, is also a type of dessert lover, and he is the least resistant to desserts.As soon as Wang Youzuo's words came out of his mouth, he looked like he was about to cry.

He has been a classmate with Yuan Youli for at least eight years, and has been a friend for nearly ten years. How could he not understand each other? As soon as the other party said this, he looked forward to the cake in his hand.

"Can I leave a piece in advance?" Howard asked pitifully.

Wang Youzuo said bluntly: "If you want to return to China safely, you'd better not do that, otherwise I guarantee that Mr. Qin will join his son and hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

"Oh! It seems that he is a strong opponent for me." Howard judged others by himself, and he could imagine the anger of the old man after being preyed upon by others.

"Okay." Wang Youzuo comforted, "The boss will definitely reward you with his family's leftovers."

Zhang Biao, who carried the embroidered paintings with Zhang Kui, was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at them seriously, and said, "It's over." Who in the courtyard didn't know that Mr. Liang's cakes were delicious, so how could they wait to give them to outsiders.

"Pfft haha!" Wang Youzuo thought everyone was so cute today.

"Hey hey hey!" The group of people had just distributed their things when a silver-white Bentley drove up behind, the door swung open, and a figure rushed over from the car, "Slow down, wait me."

The person who spoke was none other than You Tangsheng, who helped Yuan Youli unravel the stone.

Wang Youzuo looked back and saw that the man threw the car keys in his hand to the waiter who had been waiting, and then quickly moved a large box out from the back seat.

"It's a coincidence that you came here?"

"That's right." You Tangsheng said with a smile, "It's better to come early than to come at a good time. When I came, I was still wondering if I would come early, otherwise I would not be an acquaintance when I went in, and it would be boring."

"Then why didn't you call Xia Qiucheng?"

"Him?" You Tangsheng curled his lips, "I don't want to be with him, he's only normal when we're together, that guy is the type who can't go to a public place when he sees a beautiful woman. Outside, I usually treat him as a stranger."

"Then you can also be called Qi Yaonian."

You Tangsheng gave Wang Youzuo a strange look, and said contemptuously, "Student Xiaoyou, why do you have to be the personal secretary of our fourth young master? I don't know how many of our brothers can't get in touch without the fourth young master? Qi Yaonian Who is he? Don’t you know he’s even weirder than Fourth Young Master?” A frozen person, with that person, life becomes like winter all the year round.

hiss!so cold!You Tangsheng shrank his neck and looked up at the sky.

what happened?I clearly remember that today there is a high temperature of more than [-] degrees.

Wang Youzuo stopped talking here, glanced at You Tangsheng like an idiot, and walked directly to the gate of the clubhouse.

You Tangsheng realized later that he had said the wrong thing, smiled flatteringly at Yuan Youli, and hurriedly greeted Liang Yu, hoping that Yuan Youli would not care about him for the sake of making fun of his wife.

Of course, Howard You Tangsheng did not let it go. As Yuan Youli's best friend, he has been familiar with this foreigner friend for a long time.

Talking and laughing, under the leadership of the welcoming personnel, everyone came to the center of the clubhouse, in front of a three-story villa facing the green grass and the lake.

A lot of people have already come to the villa. These are almost all people who are close to the Qin family, or who feel close to the Qin family. They are not too close. They usually choose to arrive around twelve o'clock.

Of course, those who come early will not all wait silently in the villa or outside. Most of the people who will wait leisurely here are middle-aged and above. Young people have already gone to other places in the clubhouse to find entertainment.

Everyone saw scattered people walking on the grass in front of the villa and by the lake. When they met familiar people, they nodded and said a few words, which was regarded as a greeting.

Today's birthday banquet was hosted by Mr. Qin's eldest son and daughter who did not engage in politics, so the guests were not relatives and friends of the Qin family, or partners in the mall, or those who wanted to embrace the big tree of the Qin family.

It can also be seen from the other side that the two sons and daughters of the Qin family, who have been immersed in the business world for a long time, make extreme use of their backgrounds.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" You Tangsheng glanced at the people outside the villa, "These two people!"

Wang Youzuo said with a smile: "Elder Qin used to say that his eldest son and daughter are not close to him, that he cannot be in politics, let alone in the army. Hehe!"

You Tangsheng shook his head, some words were not suitable for them to say, but seeing this, the heavy heart was unavoidable.I also mourned for Second Brother Qin who was still in position.

"What are you going to do with these cakes? Keep carrying them?" You Tangsheng calmed down, and coveted the cakes that Yuan Yuli and the others were holding. "Why don't we open a box and try the taste first, before Mr. Qin comes over?"

Yuan Youli glanced at someone lightly and said nothing.

Wang Youzuo suppressed his smile and looked at his watch and said: "It's getting late, I thought Mr. Qin would come over after a while, let's go in first and find a place to sit, this cake is handed over to him by himself Alright, otherwise something went wrong in the middle, we can't explain it clearly..."

"Really." You Tangsheng looked disappointed, and said to Liang Yu after a while, "Xiao Yu, I can't eat the whole thing, so I will give you some leftovers later, I don't mind."

You don't mind anymore.Liang Yu pursed her lips and laughed.

On the other hand, the others immediately burst out laughing after hearing You Tangsheng's words.

You Tangsheng was puzzled, and was about to speak when a waiter came in and reported that Qin Lao had already come over, and asked Yuan Sishao to come to see him by name.

meet him?Yuan Youli didn't think he had such a big face, the old man wanted to see the birthday cake he brought.

In order not to be tampered with by someone, Yuan Youli and the others kept carrying the cake in person, and it was the same when they entered the door, which naturally aroused the curiosity of a large number of people around.

It’s just that some people who know Yuan Youli or Howard, Wang Youzuo and You Tangsheng are not too surprised why this group of people are carrying cakes. Thinking about the Yuan family, it’s understandable that this person is delivering cakes.It is even estimated that the Qin family specially asked them to prepare it.This also shows from the other side, the harmony between the Qin and Yuan families.

Before twelve o'clock, Qin Lao and his wife Qin Yao were arranged to rest in a living room connected to the bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

This couple is the same as the two old men of the Yuan family, they both walked out of the battlefield, they are 80-year-old couple, although they are not as red-faced as the two old men of the Yuan family, they are growing old and strong.But because of long-term careful maintenance and exercise, it will not be too old.Looking at these two without knowing it, they looked about sixty years old.

In the name of getting a good rest, Mr. Qin sent away his son, daughter, and granddaughter before Yuan Youli and his party arrived, leaving only his eldest grandson, Qin Maobin.

The rest of the staff, because they were dispatched by the state, were not easy to dismiss.But these people generally will not stop Mr. Qin's own wishes.It was as if they saw Yuan Youli, Liang Yu, You Tangsheng and Wang Youzuo, and Howard didn't stop them from coming.

"Here we come!" Hearing the voices outside, Mr. Qin in the room couldn't sit still.He rushed to the door in two or three steps, his legs and feet were as good as Sun Monkey's, but his childish behavior made the old lady Qin smile bitterly.

Qin Maobin tried his best to tighten his face, although he wanted to smile like his grandma, but unfortunately he didn't dare.

"You, Xiaosi'er will come in by himself, why are you in a hurry."

"Can you be in a hurry? My birthday cake is in the hands of that kid. I heard that Yuan Xiaosi brought me twelve cakes."

"..." The black line on the old lady Qin's face, isn't it the doctor's prescription not to eat sweets? It seems that the Qin family didn't treat this old guy badly.

On the other side, Qin Maobin thought in his heart, Dad, today's task may not be completed, but seeing how excited Grandpa is, my son may not be able to grab the cake today.

"Uncle Qin, you only remember Yuan Xiaosi's cake." You Tang's voice arrived before Mr. Qin arrived. "Then we guys should go back home quickly, so as not to get in your eyes."

"Little monk, are you here too?" Elder Qin stood at the door, glanced at the cakes in everyone's hands, and then took the time to look at You Tangsheng, "Well, you are handsome again, and I will definitely ask your aunt to introduce you to a good girl later. .”

You Tangsheng's face twitched, shit!Does he look like he can't marry a wife?He just wants to wait a few years later in order to wait for his true love.

"Haha, Xiao Tang, don't worry, my aunt won't introduce you." The old lady Qin said, "I heard from your mother that your wish since childhood was to have three wives and four concubines. If a beautiful girl is sent to the fire pit, my aunt will not be your matchmaker."

have to!This one is even worse.You Tangsheng didn't know what to say.He could only stare bitterly at Qin Maobin, the eldest grandson of the Qin family who was snickering, and vented his dissatisfaction.

As the only male in the three generations of the Qin family, Qin Maobin was naturally not easy to provoke. After snickering, he turned around and complained to his grandparents.

You Tangsheng didn't wait for him to finish his complaint, but he said with contempt: "Okay, you boy, you dare to stand in front of me and sue your grandma, just wait, I will help you promote it in the circle later."

Immediately replaced by Qin Maobin depressed.

Mr. Qin actually didn't care about the younger generation's affairs at the moment. After laughing, he saw the cake brought in by the guard at the gate, and smiled at Yuan Youli and Liang Yu: "Xiaosi, Xiaoliang, how are you? Qin Uncle didn’t lie to you, look, your aunt and I are wearing couple outfits today.”

puff!A room full of young people tends to want to spray it. This old man is worthy of being engaged in civil affairs and politics. He is really getting more and more humorous. After half his life, he still imitates young people to dress up as a couple.

Yuan Youli nodded: "I also prepared a 12 yuan cake for you as agreed, do you want to check it first?"

"Yes." Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin agreed immediately, "First open a box and have a look, I want to verify it on the spot, Yuan Xiaosi is a famous profiteer, if I don't verify it now, I can find him when he leaves." No one."

The staff in the room worked hard to help open the box with a sullen face.

In this space, Mr. Qin pulled his grandson and said to Liang Yu: "Xiaoyu, come and see, this is my grandson, he is more handsome than the photo, how about it? Do you want to think about it?"

Qin Maobin shut his mouth tightly, and told Yuan Dashen who was standing aside with his eyes that he had no intention of robbing people, and his grandfather was doing it alone.

There is no way to be the youngest in the room, and Yuan Youli has always been very imposing, and he is still his idol. No matter what, Qin Maobin will not do anything to dig someone's corner.

Yuan Youli looked at Mr. Qin indifferently, but didn't speak.

Liang Yu smiled all over her face, but she didn't know what to say.

In the end, Qin Maobin had no choice but to say: "Grandpa, you can't sell your grandson to Brother Xiaoyu just to eat cakes. Fourth Uncle will definitely punish me later."

puff!Wang Youzuo and You Tangsheng, who were drinking tea, sprayed.Qi Qi looked at Qin Maobin with an unbelievable look: This kid is capable, and the complaints are of a high level.

The cake was cut soon, and in view of Mr. Qin's stinginess, it would be noon soon, and one person only got half the size of an adult's palm in the end.

But such a little cake still amazed everyone who ate it. Even Howard's secretary and two mercenary bodyguards gave him a thumbs up, let alone Howard, who is a sweet tooth lover.That guy immediately pulled Wang Youzuo to express that he was willing to be the personal secretary of the president.

After eating the cake, it was almost twelve o'clock. Elder Qin's eldest son and daughter, who had left before, also came back to the lounge to pick Elder Qin downstairs.

Regarding the cake that Yuan Youli sent, these two didn't say anything. On the contrary, they were very happy and said a lot of words of thanks. When they knew that Liang Yu made it with their own hands, Sister Qin even took Liang Yu's hand to show her closeness. .

They did this not because they knew how good the cake was, but mainly because of Yuan Youli's identity, as the other party, who was willing to bring cakes to their elderly, and even let his legendary lover make cakes, so some things would be justified. It goes without saying.Both of them are businessmen, and their starting point of thinking is naturally from business, and the Yuan family's power background has never been much worse than theirs.

When it was close to twelve o'clock, the crowd who had been scattered around entered the villa hall.After Mr. Qin came down, some of them kept their own special gifts, and those who were close to Mr. Qin took them out and presented them in front of everyone.

Of course, almost all such gifts are rare and basically have little value, and they are only given out for everyone's entertainment and appreciation.

Such as strange stones, strange flowers, calligraphy and paintings made by myself, etc.

What is really valuable is that no one would give it to Mr. Qin without winking on such an occasion. That is not filial piety, it is dark.

Even You Tangsheng and Shi Zongcheng, who came later, took out paintings and characters written by a certain painter or calligrapher who was said to be seeking.

The most precious gift among everyone was a small orchid presented by an old friend of Mr. Qin. Even though it was only a half-sized orchid without even a flower bone, it was this small orchid that made many middle-aged people envious. , Mr. Qin was so precious that he almost lost his eyes from laughing.

"Father, you've finally got your wish." Sister Qin said with a smile.

Elder Qin nodded: "Although this lotus petal orchid is not as good as his mother plant, but brother Yiyun specially cultivated his new buds as a gift, it is really a bosom friend."

Wearing a milky white Tang suit with gray hair, a man on the side curled his lips at a man in his fifties and sixties and said, "My dad really can't stand it every time you go to my house and want to stay forever, that's it." , our Xiaolian’s son has sent you off, and next time we go there, you can pack up and go home immediately after drinking a cup of tea.”

The others smiled kindly after hearing this man's words.

"Amitabha!" Everyone was laughing, and the Buddha's voice came from the door of the villa. The Buddha's voice was like the music of the empty valley, and it was like the evening drum and the morning bell. Just one sentence washed everyone's hot hearts, so they stopped their movements and followed the sound. go.I saw two people wearing ordinary monk's clothes walking in the door, one of them was an old monk with white beard and cassock.

Elder Qin, who was sitting at the back, took a closer look, and immediately pulled up his wife to greet him.
