Cheng Zitong saw someone coming out. He looked up and saw a burly middle-aged man. He recognized this person as his cousin Cheng Zicheng, his uncle's eldest son and the oldest of the two generations in the family.

After the man came out, he said, "Third brother, long time no see. Come on, come with me. Don't block us here. It won't look good and let others laugh."

Cheng Zitong looked at him, took off the decorative glasses, and said, "Xiao Cheng, I haven't seen you for so many years, but your big face hasn't changed at all. Am I a joke? Or who is the joke?"

"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "You are not a joke, but you know what I mean, give my second brother some face,

Don't block the door, come in and listen to the second brother say a few words, that's okay, right?"

Cheng Zitong did not refuse this time and said, "Okay, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. Let me have a few words with you before meeting the old man. Xiaoke, let's go."

"Okay." Xiao Ke responded.

The middle-aged man turned around, waved his hand, and asked the people next to him to do their own thing. Cheng Zitong followed Xiao Ke inside.

In the parking lot, Ni Qianqian and the other three looked at each other and knew that there must be something going on inside, so they immediately got out of the car.

After Captain Li closed the car door, he went to the trunk to get something. At the same time, he said: "Director Ni, did you just say that the old man has a son? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Ni Qianqian said: "Because this son is the heart of the grown-up family, we try not to mention it. Hey, today is the old man's birthday, and I shouldn't have said this at all -"

The female colleague hugged her hand and said, "Sister Ni, you haven't entered the door yet. If you don't violate any taboos, just tell me."

Ni Qianqian said: "Then I will say it. It is said that Mr. Cheng's eldest son was very talented and outstanding, and the long-standing hope of Mr. Cheng's family was very likely to be realized in him. But later, for some reason, he died young.

, it seems that this incident had a big impact on Cheng’s family. Later, the old man seemed to have high hopes for Manager Cheng,

But Cheng is in charge of him... Well, he seems a bit mediocre in fighting.

I heard that Manager Cheng has been working very hard, but his talents are there, so how can he improve by improving? That is, Lao Cheng’s family’s expectations of him are too high, and he still can’t do it, and he always fails.

I was gossiped about by some people, and finally went out to find my own way. I was not allowed to do this or that, and the rules at home were very tight.

It is said that Manager Cheng later had to leave Central City because of this incident, and since then he has had little contact with Lao Cheng’s family.”

The female colleague said sympathetically: "It's not easy to become a supervisor."

Captain Li said, "It's not easy for him, but isn't it even harder for us? Don't forget, Director Cheng has taught a good student."

The female colleague nodded repeatedly, "What do you mean by a good student? This is as good as heaven, right?"

Captain Li thought about it for a moment, "That's wrong. You know who the student who became the supervisor is, but you still don't greet him properly. It's not the supervisor's face, but Director Chen's face, right?"

The female colleague said: "Shit, why don't you understand this? It is difficult for an upright official to handle household affairs. I am the old man in this matter."

Isn't it okay to bow down to your son? From the perspective of the Cheng family, Mr. Cheng's son is not here to celebrate his birthday, he is obviously here to compete."

Captain Li nodded, "That makes sense."

Ni Qianqian said happily: "We can't control what the old man thinks. Let's go ahead and give him the birthday gift first. Let's go in and have a look."

Inside the mansion, the middle-aged man took Cheng Zitong to a fairly wide side room and had some food, drinks, tables and chairs served.

Cheng Zitong said: "Xiao Cheng, what do you mean?"

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Third brother, I know that after you left Central City, you have always been resentful towards your family and the old man."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Cheng Zitong put on his sunglasses, "I don't have one. I said you all treat me as if you are an enemy. What's the matter? I am sincerely here to wish the old man a birthday."

The middle-aged man said seriously: "Third brother, I know that you have accepted a good student, and everyone in the family knows about it, but you also know that they all know about the dispute between you and the old man.

"

He paused and said, "You haven't shown up for so many years. It's the old man's eightieth birthday. You come to him to wish him a happy birthday. What you don't know is nothing, but those who know will think you are giving the old man eye drops and showing off your prestige. This is still the case on the old man's eighth birthday.

On my tenth birthday, isn’t this a joke for outsiders?

Just now, you should have seen that there were many pairs of eyes staring at us outside, hoping that we would make a fool of ourselves."

He said earnestly: "Third brother, listen to my elder brother's advice and don't go into the main hall. If you really come to pay homage to your birthday, just wait until the birthday banquet is over and meet the old man in private later. Don't make the family unable to come down."

.”

Xiao Ke felt angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "I said, why? It's too bullying! Brother Tong, what's wrong with you? Just now, you didn't let him in for birthday greetings, and said he wanted to be tied up, but now you won't let him

To wish you birthday in person, is he still the old man’s son? Is he still your brother?”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man's face, "Cheng Zicheng, I can't bear to see how serious you are and how you drag yourself around. Let me tell you, only Brother Tong, the student, didn't come here today because he had something to do. Otherwise, you dare to stop me."

Huh? Dare you??"

The middle-aged man didn't speak, just looked at the two people silently.

Cheng Zitong patted Xiao Ke and said to the middle-aged man: "Xiao Cheng, I'm not talking about you. What you said is so unreasonable. According to what you mean, don't you dare to love me every time Cheng Zitong meets me in the future?"

On such a big day, you can only hide behind? Why? Do you think I, Cheng Zitong, have embarrassed the Lao Cheng family?"

"Third brother, I have said what I need to say. I believe you understand what I mean." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Be considerate of your elders and take care of the dignity of the family. Even if my second brother begs you once."

Cheng Zitong looked at him, nodded and said, "Cheng, but speaking of which, this is my home, right?" He drew a circle with his hand and looked around again, "Hey, I haven't been back for so many years, I have to take a walk.

, looking for those memories from the past."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Sorry, third brother, please stay here for now."

Cheng Zitong took a look and suddenly said: "I understand, this is because I don't want to show my face in front of others." He glanced outside, "Then why do I have to cross this threshold today?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Third brother, you have taught a good student, but you are not good enough yourself."

Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "There are some things where you don't necessarily have to use your fists."

The middle-aged man suddenly became vigilant. He knew that Cheng Zitong knew some crooked things.

Although he himself was not afraid, it affected the birthday banquet. He took two steps forward and whispered: "Third brother, it's my birthday, and there are such guests here, so don't mess around."

Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "I won't mess around." He walked to the side and pointed to the gift he was carrying, "But I don't have to go in. You have to bring this birthday gift to the old man for me and hand it over to him personally.

On hand."

The middle-aged man walked over and took a look. When he saw that it was an ordinary thing, he nodded and said, "Third brother, the second brother of the thing promised to bring it to you, so you can rest assured."

"As long as you say this, that's all. You can go about your business."

Nariko walked a few steps, sat down at his seat, and knocked on the table with his sunglasses, "What food is being served outside?

Give me a portion here, no less."

The middle-aged man said: "There will be no shortage of them." He called a few people in and walked out with birthday gifts, and then asked a few disciples to guard the door.

Cheng Zitong looked at the unhappy Xiao Ke and said, "Sit down, what are you doing standing there?"

Xiao Ke said angrily: "Brother Tong, how can you bear it?"

Cheng Zitong picked up the sweet dew on the table and took a few sips, "Well, this sweet dew is good. As soon as you drink it, you can tell that it is still water from the old well. Xiao Ke, why don't you come and take a few sips?"

Xiao Ke said loudly: "Brother Tong, I'm talking to you!"

Cheng Zitong rubbed his ears and said, "I'm listening. You're so loud that I'm almost deafened. Why are you so anxious?" He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the old man will invite us in later."

Xiao Ke suddenly became energetic, "Brother Tong, do you have any plans?"

Cheng Zitong smiled and said: "Arrangements? What arrangements can be made? The old man is not as narrow-minded as some people in the old Cheng family, but the old man is too strict in doing things. I may have to endure it when I meet the old man later."

Cheng Zicheng came out of the side courtyard and walked towards the main hall with his things. He saw six large tables set up here, three of which were already full of people.

Cheng Zhou was wearing an old-style birthday suit and sat on the main seat. His short-shorn hair was slightly gray, but it was as straight as a brush.

Although he is old, he is in good spirits, especially his clear and piercing eyes. When he sits there, his body is upright. Except for some old people with families, the others sitting next to him are almost all third-level fighters.

When Cheng Zicheng arrived, he was talking to several old men on crutches. Junior disciple Fan Shoulu, disciple Qiao Linhu and others were accompanying him.

When Cheng Zicheng saw that they were talking enthusiastically, he stopped a step and asked someone to send the gifts to the side hall first, while he waited aside.

When the two sides stopped talking and each picked up their tea cups to drink tea, he took a step forward. It was only two steps. Suddenly, a married man walked in quickly and said, "Old man, Yu Hongming, the leader of the Tianshu Gang, sent someone

I sent you a birthday gift."

Yu Hongming?

Everyone in the seat was stunned. Yu Hongming and Cheng Zhou's father, Cheng Yunbai, were of the same generation. They were even competing with each other, but Yu Hongming was one of the best among that generation.

, had it not been for rejecting solicitations from companies and governments and not having the resources to improve, it would have been very possible for him to become a martial artist.

Although this person is old now and his muscles and bones are not as good as before, his status and seniority are still there. It is a great honor to be able to take the initiative to send gifts.

It’s just that they had no interaction with the Tianshu Gang in the past, but this year they are here to give gifts. This is..."

Some people are a little confused, while others have already thought of some reasons.
