The New Year is approaching, and according to the local custom in Li Jin’s hometown, there are three important meals to eat during the New Year.
Once in the year, it is called dividing the year.
Once on New Year's Eve, it's called New Year's Eve.
There is another time on the first day of the first lunar month after the new year, which is called New Year.
Most of the rules in the South are pretty much the same, but they are called differently in each place.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming in a few days, Su Wanqing also went back to the provincial capital to accompany Su Dongsheng. After all, the old man stayed alone in the provincial capital and didn't say anything. In his heart, he probably wanted his daughter to spend more time with him during this special season.
Accompany him.
After sending Su Wanqing away, Li Jin also began to prepare this year's New Year's Eve wine.
Although Li Jin's family is not very large, because they are all in rural areas, there are still some close relatives who often move around.
In addition, everyone knew that Li Jin had become rich this year, so a group of relatives proposed to hold this year's New Year's Eve wine in Tianfeng City.
Naturally, Liu Xiufang and Li Chengzhao would not miss this opportunity to show their faces in front of their relatives, so they immediately agreed and said that they would be responsible for all the food and clothing expenses.
Li Jin didn't care about this. No matter whether he was a relative or a member of the same clan, it was impossible for a person to live alone in this world.
Li Jin is also willing to keep walking around normally with them, but the prerequisite is not to think that if he gets rich, he will become a money-splitting boy, and then he, the official Li, will not serve him.
In his past and present lives, Li Jin had never seen people who felt resentful because their relatives were getting rich and the other party did not benefit him.
For such relatives, Li Jin just wanted to say get away as far as possible.
"Dad, if you and mom want to save face, I have reserved three tables at the Shangri-La Hotel. You can just go there. Besides, there are many people there, so I have arranged a few cars right at the gate of the community. Someone will contact you if you go there.
Yes, I'll arrive a little later."
Li Jin was sitting in Zhang Jiang's office, talking on the phone to his mother Liu Xiufang with his arms crossed.
On the phone, Liu Xiufang's voice was noisy and lively. It must be that a large group of relatives had arrived at her villa.
From time to time, Li Jin could still hear the exclamation and praise from a relative.
Liu Xiufang squinted her eyes with joy and said, "Okay, then we'll call people over right away. Hey, where did you get those cars?"
Li Jin glanced at Zhang Jiang, who was smiling, and said with a smile: "I borrowed it from a friend. Don't worry about it. Let's do this for now."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jin said to Zhang Jiang: "Old Zhang, it's really thanks to your help this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to book the box in Shangri-La. It's also thanks to you that you helped me find the other six BMWs.
I went out to look for him but there was nothing I could do."
Zhang Jiang smiled and said: "I don't dare to take credit for this. Last night you told me about this, so I went to find Zhou Kai. That guy is familiar with people around the world and has friends everywhere."
"After passing that level this time, the exchange of favors has become more prosperous. Now he has the final say in the circle in Jiacheng County."
Li Jin was playful: "Where is Sun Yao?"
Zhang Jiang said cheerfully: "With you here, how can Sun Yao dare to stand out? I heard before that he planned to move to Tianyin County next door."
"I don't have time to care about him. If you want to move, just move." Li Jin said lightly.
Zhang Jiang lowered his voice and came closer and said: "A Jin, Zhou Kaike has always wanted to find an opportunity to say thank you in person."
"For example, what happened this time is that the New Year is approaching, and the private rooms in other hotels are reserved months in advance. This time, in order to help you get this private room, he went directly to the other party with tens of thousands in cash.
, got it half by robbing and half by buying.”
"The same goes for the car. He went to several places overnight to find it before he finally got it together."
"Actually, these are all trivial matters. You are busy and don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. As friends, we can help if we can. It's nothing."
"But after all, he is quite thoughtful. How about, after the New Year, I find time to visit with him at home?"
Li Jin looked at Zhang Jiang meaningfully and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, you are playing tricks on me too. Zhou Kai's purpose is not that simple, right?"
Zhang Jiang knew that he could not hide it from Li Jin, so he simply admitted honestly: "Of course the main purpose is to thank you. Secondly, as soon as Sun Yao leaves, he wants the resources in Jiacheng County."
Li Jin thought for a while, no matter how he developed, at least for a long time, Jiacheng County and Tianfeng City would still be his home base.
At least my parents are retiring here, and it is impossible for them to go to other places.
Moreover, the construction of the company headquarters and office buildings in Shanghai is calculated on an annual basis at least, and they cannot be moved in a short time.
Therefore, if one of our own people is in charge of things in this old nest, it will indeed be much more convenient than the likes of Liang Hui and Sun Yao.
"Okay, just say hello in advance when the time comes," Li Jin said.
Seeing Li Jin relent, Zhang Jiang said cheerfully: "Okay, then I will take him to visit him later."
…
When Li Jin and Zhang Jiang were chatting and laughing in the office, they were in the villa area.
Liu Xiufang and Li Chengzhao happily walked out of the villa with a large group of relatives.
"Hey, second brother, Jin is really promising. I can't even dream of such a big villa and such a nice place."
A woman said to Li Chengzhao with envy on her face.
The people around him all nodded in agreement and turned to look at the villa they had just come out of, a little reluctant to leave.
Most of them came from rural areas, and they were doing small business in Jiacheng County. They all came from very ordinary families. When they had been to such a wealthy area in person, they naturally felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
Li Chengzhao felt that his face was very bright, and he was happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's not bad. That kid strives for his own success, but he spends money lavishly and doesn't listen to what he says."
"I wonder what A Jin is like now. The last time I saw him, he was still in primary school, right? More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. I said at the beginning that this kid is smart and will definitely become a talent in the future. You see, I said
It’s a hit.”
"That's right, I used to think that Jin is different from other children. Although he doesn't talk much, he has a very smart mind and knows how to solve problems."
"Don't tell me, I remember him when he was a child..."
Listening to their relatives discussing how their son was different and smart when he was a child, Li Chengzhao and Liu Xiufang looked at each other with helplessness.
That's how people are, it's their natural instinct to hold others up and downplay them.
Before, my son's reputation among this group of relatives was not very good. Everyone said that Li Jin was just like a piece of wood and would definitely be useless in the future.
But now, they all seemed to have forgotten such a thing, and instead praised Li Jin for how outstanding he was when he was a child.
At the edge of the crowd, a young man curled his lips with disdain on his face.
"A group of ignorant aunts and uncles are really annoying. What's wrong with Li Jin? My brother has already negotiated with a big boss and will open dozens of hotpot restaurants across the province next year. My brother will also be the big boss by then.
!Let’s see what Li Jin is proud of!”
Li Tianci, who had such thoughts in his heart, was even more disdainful of Li Jin.
