Spring wasted

The sound of several cars coming in came from downstairs. Jiang Rugu and Jiang Kuang went to the window and saw two cars driving in the yard. Jiang Kuang said, "Second wife and second brother are here, I'll go down to pick them up." .”

"Well, let's go." Jiang Rugu himself didn't plan to go down now.

Lin Baoshan was still in the Buddhist hall, and the family from the second bedroom came in from the huge living room on the first floor, the second wife Zhou Tong, the second young master Jiang Linghui and his wife Miao Keren, the third young lady Jiang Lingyan, the housekeeper and servants stepped forward to serve, and took the orders of several people. The coats were hung in the front hall, and Jiang Kuang smiled and walked over to say hello one by one: "Hi second wife, second brother, second sister-in-law, third sister."

Everyone was smiling, and Jiang Kuang looked around: "Where is the fourth brother? Didn't you come together?"

Jiang Linghui replied, "He's coming late, there's an entertainment."

Jiang Kuang knew that his fourth elder brother, Jiang Lingwei, was a famous diamond king in the city. Come back when you've had enough.

The butler will come over to ask if there is a family banquet now, and invite the master and the eldest wife to come over for dinner. He looked at the second wife Zhou Tong with a questioning look, and then turned to Jiang Kuang. Jiang Kuang looked at Zhou Tong and asked, "Do you want to wait for four?" Will you have a banquet when brother arrives?"

Zhou Tong walked up to Jiang Kuang. Jiang Kuang was much taller than her. Seeing this, he bowed slightly. Zhou Tong was well maintained, but he looked less than 60 in his early 50s. She smiled and took Jiang Kuang's hand lightly. Pat patted, spoke softly, said: "We are a family, not guests."

Then he said to the butler: "Go and invite the master and the eldest wife to come over."

The housekeeper heard the words and left.

Zhou Tong had already turned around and went to the sofa in the living room. The children followed her and sat down together. Jiang Kuang stood there in a daze for half a second before following her.

Of course, Zhou Tong's words did not stimulate him, but only made him more sure of the other party's true attitude. The implication of these words was, "Although we don't live here, we are all from the Jiang family. You don't have to think that you Sending your name under the big house, you should put on the posture of the master, whether it is to welcome guests or make decisions, it is still not your turn."

Jiang Kuang has learned the lesson. He has little contact with this second wife. It is rumored that she is graceful and has a high emotional intelligence. Now it seems that she is more than that.

He doesn't care about their attitudes, and he won't hold the innocent idea of ​​"family and everything will prosper" in such a complicated family. He just finds it funny. I'm afraid that the person who really holds this idea, his father Jiang Ruzhi, will be disappointed in the end. .

The calm these days is just an appearance, he thought.

Jiang Rugu came downstairs very quickly, still smoking the pipe. Seeing him coming down, everyone got up, and several children called "Daddy" one by one.

Just like Jiang Kuang's reaction, Jiang Rugu also asked Jiang Lingwei, and Jiang Linghui repeated the words of socializing, but Jiang Rugu snorted coldly: "Don't you excuse him, think I don't know? What else can he do besides eating, drinking, and playing around? ?”

Zhou Tong was about to say something, but Jiang Rugu focused all his firepower on Jiang Linghui: "How did you teach me as an older brother?! Let him ruin his family fortune? What great money-making skills do you have that he can squander?"

Jiang Linghui and Jiang Lingyan looked fine, but Zhou Tong's complexion instantly turned pale. Normally, Jiang Ruzhi yelled at her son and daughter in private. Today, in front of Jiang Kuang, an "outsider", Jiang Kuang As usual, he had no scruples at all, Zhou Tong felt ashamed and angry, and the self-cultivation he was trying to maintain almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Kuang watched coldly, keeping his composure. At this moment, a deep and clear voice came from a corner of the living room: "What are you arguing about? The family banquet is settled, why are you getting angry over some trivial things that are not worth it?"

With the support of Chen Chuan, Lin Baoshan slowly walked over from the direction of the Buddhist hall. She changed into a melancholy plain cheongsam, and with a calm atmosphere, she blocked everyone back when she opened her mouth.

Jiang Kuang smiled inwardly, his eyes slipped past Zhou Tong inadvertently, and found that her face turned greener. Helping to excuse.

The group of people in the second room had different expressions at this time, but Jiang Linghui's wife, Miao Keren, looked like she had nothing to do with her. Her eyes touched Jiang Kuang. Qingyun hooked the corners of her lips lightly, as if she had some inexplicable interest in him.

The housekeeper and servants had already arranged the restaurant and invited everyone to have a meal. Jiang Ruzhi walked up to Lin Baoshan to support her, and motioned for Chen Chuan to step back. Zhou Tong glanced at them and walked obliquely behind them silently. The children followed a little further behind.

Today's family banquet is a traditional Chinese-style large round table, and everyone sits in order of primary and secondary seats. Jiang Kuang naturally sits at the outermost, but Lin Baoshan beckoned to him: "Xiao Kuang, come and sit next to me."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Lingyan, who was originally sitting beside Lin Baoshan, quickly got up and said to Jiang Kuang, "Little brother, let's change seats."

Jiang Kuang sat next to Lin Baoshan, and then there was Jiang Rugu. He was facing Jiang Linghui and Miao Keren.

The back kitchen served the dishes one by one with the servants. Jiang Kuang knew that the cook was specially invited from outside today. He cooked Cantonese dishes that both Jiang Rugu and Lin Baoshan liked. , Jiang Kuang was drinking, and heard Jiang Rugu asking about Jiang Linghui's company status.

It's not so much a family banquet, it's more like a work report with food to eat. Although Jiang Rugu doesn't go to the company less often, all his actions are under his watchful eyes. As the executive president, Jiang Linghui still has to ask the old man for his opinion when making important decisions .

Jiang Kuang has been working in Jiangfan Group for more than a year, but he feels that Jiang Linghui is not a person who reveals himself easily. Jiang Ruzhi always compares him with his deceased eldest son Jiang Lingshao, and is very strict and critical of his work. It's not easy.

But he is good at overcoming toughness with softness, and he still manages the company well under Jiang Rugu's pressure. In contrast, Jiang Lingyan is much less restrained by Jiang Rugu, maybe because she is a daughter, and the hotel industry is not Jiang's priority. Assets and a public relations company were created by Jiang Lingyan. She seemed to be happy to be free from the center of power and control her own little freedom.

A table of famous Cantonese dishes, with exquisite knife skills and exquisite materials, while everyone was eating, the topic soon fell on Jiang Kuang.

Jiang Rugu would not say clearly that from now on, Jiang Kuang will officially become a member of the Jiang family, but he has already supported Jiang Kuang in choosing the business field of expanding the territory and opening his own company. This is the best attitude , is a unique honor that only Jiang's children can get, and today's family banquet is just the last process.

Jiang Kuang also imitated Jiang Linghui's example, and seriously stated to everyone the first film project that his newly established Moshang Film and Television will start shooting: "It's an art film, it's about the life of a small person, the original script was written by me, Of course, I will discuss with the director and more powerful screenwriters later, and make it more professional. The most important director and producer, my father and second brother, have come forward to help me. I have already finalized a well-known big director and big producer in the industry. People, the filming license has been obtained, and the next step will be a series of preparatory work such as casting, scene scouting, service, etc., and the filming is expected to start within three months."

None of the people present really understand the film and television industry, Jiang Kuang himself is the same, only Jiang Lingyan has a relationship with the entertainment industry because he has a large public relations company, she heard the words: "My little brother, this project sounds...not so commercial Hua, Yu Ye and Guan Pingshan are of course good, if you have any needs for actors, such as big stars at the box office, maybe I can help you think of a way."

Jiang Kuang smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Third Sister, it's okay for now. I already have a suitable candidate for the leading role, and I'm talking about it. The rest of the actors will be decided by the director. There should be no problem."

Jiang Lingyan didn't say anything, but just smiled.

Jiang Rugu said: "You are a first-time producer, so you must be cautious in all aspects. The commercial nature of film and television is no different from other projects. Risks must be controlled. Your second brother knows this best. You should ask for more advice. he."

Jiang Kuang nodded again and again, and said to Jiang Linghui: "The company's capital injection depends on the second brother, and I will definitely communicate with the second brother more often."

Jiang Kuang raised the teacup in his hand, and the two touched each other with tea instead of wine.

Miao Keren, who hadn't spoken or eaten much, suddenly said, "Little brother, it's all my own project, how about letting my second sister-in-law play a cameo role in your film?"

Jiang Kuang froze for a moment, looked up at Miao Keren, and saw that she was looking at him with a smile.
