Hongmen Banquet!
That's right, for the Qiao brothers and sisters, when Qiao Zuwang asked them to come back for dinner, it was a serious Hongmen Banquet.
Having been the children of the Qiao family for so many years, they all know exactly what kind of virtue their father is.
If something good happens, I won't think of these children at all. I will only think of looking for them when I need them.
It has been a long time since the last family group meeting. This time Qiao Zuwang called everyone back for a family meeting again. It was obviously planned.
When Zhou Chen and others walked into Qiao's courtyard, they found that Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei had already arrived. In addition to the two of them, Qiao Zuwang was also sitting in the main room.
But what surprised them was that there was a strange man squatting by the threshold in front of the house.
Qiao Yicheng saw this strange man and asked in confusion: "Who is he?"
Qiao Zuwang, who was in the room, walked out angrily, pointed at Qiao Simei and cursed: "Ask your sister, what did this damn girl do? She has completely disgraced our Qiao family."
When he heard that it was related to Qiao Simei, Qiao Yicheng's brows suddenly furrowed, and a ridiculous guess came into his mind.
"Simei, what is going on? Who is he and why was he brought to our home?"
Qiao Simei walked up to the man, picked him up, and introduced him openly: "Brother, this is my boyfriend, Qi Chenggang, who has 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 towards Qiao Simei's boyfriend. They always felt that Qiao Simei
There is something wrong with my eye for beauty.
However, after Zhou Chen found out that this man was Qi Chenggang, he showed a half-smiling expression.
This Qiao Simei is really a dog that can't change the way she eats shit. She was fooled once, and she still fell for it. Even after many years, her love brain has not changed at all.
The lessons she received from Shaoyang were not enough, and she actually met a similar man again. It could be said that she was unlucky, or she was asking for trouble.
"As far as I know, the annual retirement period hasn't come yet, right? It's only shortly after the end of the year, and there's still a long time until the retirement period."
Zhou Chen's words made everyone present suddenly change their expressions, because none of them had ever served in the military, so they didn't know much about being discharged from the army.
Qiao Zuwang asked eagerly: "Zhou Chen, are you saying it's not time for soldiers to retire?"
"right."
After receiving the 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 were discharged from the army, but you were fired, right?"
Qiao Simei glared at Zhou Chen dissatisfied, and then explained: "Dad, that's not called expulsion in the army, it's called..."
"I don't care what his 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 loudly retorted that Qi Chenggang met her love requirements. She had liked him for so long, how could she drive him away just because of Qiao Zuwang's words.
Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "This is my home, and I don't welcome this kid. If you don't want him to go alone, then get out with him."
Qiao Simei frowned and said, "If you drive me away, I won't give you a penny in the future."
"Hey, you stinky girl, you dare to contradict me for a wild man?"
Upon hearing that his youngest daughter said she wouldn't pay, Qiao Zuwang's aura immediately weakened. "I raised you, so it's only natural for you to give me money. I don't think you dare to give it."
"If you want to drive me away, I won't give in." Qiao Simei refused to give in.
Zhou Chen looked at Qi Chenggang and had to admire this man's shamelessness.
Any normal man would have no shame in such a situation, but this kid acted as if he didn't hear anything and stood there motionless.
In the end, it was Qiao Erqiang who came out to smooth things over: "Dad, let's not talk about Simei's affairs. You called us back today. Didn't you say you were going to have a family meeting? You go in first and I'll get the food. We'll have a meeting while eating later.
."
Qiao Zu looked at the steps, so he snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the house.
"What evil did I commit in my last life, and what happened to me?"
Qiao Yicheng also glanced at Qiao Simei dissatisfied, but Qiao Simei didn't take it seriously at all and still held Qi Chenggang's arm, looking affectionate.
Qiao Yicheng was also helpless and could only not look at her. He asked Qiao Erqiang: "Erqiang, why didn't my brother and sister come over today?"
Qiao Er forced a smile and said, "Xiao Mo has something to do today, so I didn't let her come over."
In fact, his marriage to Sun Xiaomo has come to an end, and they are just short of divorce. However, they have been struggling with this step for a long time and have not yet taken it.
Moreover, 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 be alone. You take my sister-in-law into the house, sit down, and chat with Zhou Chen and the others."
In the end, it was Qiao Sanli who took the initiative to help in the kitchen. Wen Juan also wanted to go, but was pushed out by Qiao Sanli.
Wen Ju'an and Qiao Yicheng have been married for so long. The Qiao family naturally knows what kind of person Wen Ju'an is. He is really good to Qiao Yicheng, but when it comes to housework, he is really a novice.
I haven't even done much of washing pots and dishes.
In the end, Zhou Chen and Qiao Yicheng sat in the main room, while Qiao Simei and Qi Chenggang were still standing outside.
Qiao Zuwang was very cruel to Qi Chenggang just now, and his attitude towards Wen Ju'an was not very good, but he was very kind to Zhou Chen.
The reason why he didn't have a very good attitude towards Wen Ju'an was naturally because Qiao Yicheng's daughter, his granddaughter, was not named Qiao but Wen.
This point, even after so long, he still has not swallowed this breath.
"Zhou Chen, I heard from Simei that Qiqi is following you and working at your place, right?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Qiqi is indeed following me now, but not to work, but to study. I have discussed it with Qi Weimin. I will take care of Qiqi for a few years first, and then I will find a way to arrange him after he matures."
Work in the hospital pharmacy.”
"Go to work in the hospital, this is good, this is good."
Qiao Zuwang felt pity when he heard that Qiao Qiqi was studying and not working.
I originally thought that since my younger son also worked to make money, he could ask for more money. But now it seems that this idea is going to come to nothing.
"How is Sanli doing in your factory? I heard that you are not going to take over your parents' job yourself and want Sanli to take over. Is this true?"
When Qiao Zuwang heard about this, he thought there was something wrong with his ears. Now who doesn't know the name of Chenxing, a large company with assets of over 100 million yuan?
Qiao Zuwang really couldn't understand that he would not inherit such a family business but would go to university to become a teacher. He felt that Zhou Chen was out of his mind.
But what makes him happy is that Zhou Chen is actually planning to let his daughter take over. This makes him excited.
That's Chenxing. If Sanli becomes the boss's wife, as long as there is a little leakage between his fingers, he will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life.
Zhou Chen replied calmly: "I have this plan, but it requires a process and depends on Sanli's learning and acceptance ability."
Qiao Zuwang said happily: "That's definitely no problem. This girl Sanli is so smart. She's a college student. It's absolutely no problem. If you hand over your factory to her management, there will be no problem at all."
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, you should not trouble Sanli."
When Qiao Zuwang heard this, he cursed angrily: "Qiao Yicheng, look what you are saying. I am Sanli's father. Will I bring trouble to her?"
"That's impossible to say."
"You white-eyed wolf, I really paid for you in vain. I think you are willing to make me angry to death, right?"
Qiao Zuwang cursed angrily. Among his several children, Qiao Yicheng was the one who made him the most angry. He had been this way since he was a child, and he is still the same now.
The meal was quickly prepared and the family sat together around the table.
Although Qiao Zuwang was very dissatisfied with Qi Chenggang's existence, after some people's persuasion, he still let Qiao Simei and Qi Chenggang sit down.
There were eight people sitting at a small square table, which seemed very crowded.
Qiao Erqiang's cooking skills were pretty good, but except for Qiao Zuwang who ate the food with great enjoyment, the rest of them used their chopsticks a few times and stopped eating.
Qiao Zuwang drank a small drink, slapped his chopsticks on the table, and began to lecture.
"Today, I called you all back because I feel that some things should be renegotiated. First of all, it is the issue of my pension."
Qiao Zuwang was indeed Qiao Zuwang. He did not disappoint at all. He did not even give any prelude and directly talked about the first topic of today's meeting.
Qiao Zuwang felt very uncomfortable when he saw that several of his children were not talking to each other. Of the five children, not one of them was filial.
"We had a meeting before and talked about my pension issue, but that was a few years ago. Prices a few years ago are naturally incomparable with now, and this time, 10%, 2 strong, 3 Li
