At half past six in the evening, the party prepared by Lin Dingqiang finally began.

The table is full of familiar people, and there is no utilitarian nature, which makes this dinner much more smooth and relaxed.

However, there are still rules at the dinner table, Guan Nushan and other elders sit on the upper seat, while Lin Dingqiang and other young people sit at the door.

However, when the people were served, the long-awaited appetizer was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that the wine was poured, Lin Dingqiang, as the owner of the club, couldn't sit still, especially with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he got up and said to everyone: "I'll go to the back kitchen and take a look." ”

Shu Lan found that there were many people in Lin Dingqiang's club who came to play in her free time in the afternoon, and turned her head to think that maybe the dishes were not served in time, "Xiaolin, you can send some fruit first." We're not hungry yet, let's talk for a while. ”

Lin Dingqiang knew that this was his mother-in-law helping him play a round, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll let people send it in." ”

About a few minutes later, Shen Mushi personally walked in with two or three plates of cut watermelons, and said apologetically: "Mr. Lin, distinguished guests, because the kitchen is busy today, the food will be served slower, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Guan Nushan waved his hand generously, "No, it's all my own family, and the most important thing is to do a good job in business first." ”

Xin Wenhua saw that Lin Dingqiang was a little anxious, and also found a topic to chat, "Lao Guan, do you remember how we ate watermelon in the courtyard when we were children?"

Guan Nushan took the opportunity to take over, "I must remember this! It turns out that this watermelon is a rare thing." If you want to say which house in the capital can eat watermelon every day, it must be bragging. ”

Xin Qing asked curiously, "Can't eat watermelon?"

"Girl, you don't know, do you?" Guan Nushan said with a smile: "Generally, it is good to eat a watermelon in two or three weeks." ”

Guan Nushan's words suddenly brought Shan Mingxiang's thoughts back to decades ago, and he said slowly: "When I wanted to eat watermelon in the courtyard, it was like a treat today, and everyone took turns to come. Today my family bought a watermelon, and everyone shared it. After two or three weeks, his family bought another watermelon for you to eat. ”

"At that time, a watermelon was worth a dollar, which was equivalent to a day's wages. Xin Wenhua said with a smile: "At that time, the tap water was calculated on an average per capita, and the tap water was not turned off when eating.

Guan Nushan said, "Yes, sit in the courtyard, take a big pot and divide the watermelon." The adults gag, and the children ate together. The big pu fan fanned, and this was our summer at that time. ”

"Sometimes there are leftovers, and adults are embarrassed to eat them, and whoever is the smallest in the courtyard will take advantage of it the most. Shan Mingxiang laughed, "I didn't eat less when I was a child!"

On the surface, several people were reminiscing about eating watermelon in the compound, but in fact, they were playing a round for Lin Dingqiang, everyone saw through it without saying anything, and it highlighted the indestructible friendship of their life from between the lines.

From the compound to today's high-rise buildings, landmarks have been changing, but the people who have remained unchanged are the people who are rooted in the city.

After a few pleasantries, the first dish with shallots and tofu was finally served.

Guan Nushan warmly invited: "I'll borrow flowers to offer Buddha! This dish is amazing! Everyone try it!"

Lin Dingqiang saw that the dishes were served one after another, and his hanging heart could be regarded as letting go. Xin Qing saw Lin Dingqiang's relieved expression on the side, and after gently kicking him under the table, she whispered, "Don't panic, it's not a big deal." ”

"It's the first time your parents are here, of course I want to show the best!" Lin Dingqiang whispered, "Can you not panic?"

Xin Qing knew Lin Dingqiang's heart, and laughed out loud, "Is your heart stable now?"

"Steady. Lin Dingqiang paused, and then said: "You will find a chance to talk to Song Shu during the banquet, I want to invite her to come to the company to do finance." It's easier for you women to talk to each other. ”

After hearing this, Xin Qing looked at Lin Dingqiang and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Lin Ding nodded strongly, "I've thought about it." ”

"No problem, I'll help you ask. ”

Between the staggering, the Fen wine brought by Guan Nushan was drunk completely, and even the red wine brought back by Zhao Lei had already seen the bottom. Lin Dingqiang asked Shen Mushi to bring the wine in the club, anyway, it is a good picture, everyone is happy.

Cao Le and Guan Nushan fell in love at that time, perhaps because the two had similar personalities, and after a few glasses of liquor, Guan Nushan even became interested in the tattoo on Cao Le's arm.

Under questioning, Cao Lecai answered the meaning of tattoos. It turned out that the pattern on the flower arm was the crystallization of Song Shu and the two of them.

This answer surprised the older generation, in their opinion, tattoos are still very personal, but to be able to tattoo the most important person in life, you can also imagine how heavy the responsibility on Cao Le's shoulders is.

The progress on Xin Qing's side was not smooth, and although Song Shu was very happy after hearing Xin Qing's words, she still refused again and again.

The reason is also very simple, she has not entered the workplace for too long, and she is not in finance herself, out of friendship and responsible attitude between friends, she is afraid that if she goes, it will affect Lin Dingqiang.

But Xin Qing didn't give up, and took advantage of Shan Mingxiang's kung fu to sing another song after he was full of wine and food, and hurriedly said: "Dad, Mom, I'll go out with Song Shu for a walk." ”

"Go ahead. Don't stay here. Xin Wenhua said with a smile.

Xin Qing called Zhao Lei, and then the three of them walked out of the private room.

In less than 5 minutes, Lin Dingqiang was afraid that Xin Qing would persuade Song Shu not to move, so he also stood up, "Uncle, aunt, I'll go and see Xin Qing." ”

"She drank some wine and didn't let her blow the wind. Shulan instructed.

"Okay, Auntie. ”

When Lin Dingqiang came out of the private room, he didn't see the shadow of Xin Qing and the three of them after a glance. Just as he wanted to take out his mobile phone to ask for the location, he saw Guan Lan who slipped out halfway through eating.

At this time, she was sitting on an outdoor recliner and talking to Wang Liushun on the phone, Lin Dingqiang suddenly thought of something, put away the mobile phone, and walked over.

Guan Lan saw Lin Dingqiang coming, and said to the phone: "I'll contact you later." ”

Lin Dingqiang sat down on the side and asked with a smile, "Sixth son?"

"It's not!" Guan Lan said without hesitation: "He is busy from morning to night, from buying materials to collecting money, he is doing it alone, and he is not willing to invite a person." You see, it's this point now, and I haven't even eaten yet. ”

"Liuzi is a more serious person, and he wants to do his best in everything. Lin Dingqiang said unhurriedly: "But this character is rare." ”

"Yes, I just like the seriousness in him!" Guan Lan said with a grin.

Lin Dingqiang then asked, "Isn't today's dish the same as your appetite? I don't see that you have eaten two bites." ”

"It's okay. Guan Lan said thoughtfully: "It's not me who picks on the thorns! It's just that today's dish is a little uninteresting." ”

Lin Dingqiang also discovered this problem, except for the first dish of shallots mixed with tofu, although the rest of the dishes are not unpalatable, they are far from Huang Lechi's craftsmanship, not that taste.

"It should be that there are many guests in the evening, and Chef Huang is too late. Lin Dingqiang explained: "Next time I'm not so busy, I'll ask him to sit at a table for you to taste." ”

Guan Lan waved his hand magnanimously, "That's not necessary." ”

"Yes, why don't you use it!" Lin Dingqiang laughed, "You must come often in the future!"

Guan Lan frowned, and asked half-jokingly: "Master Qian, you don't want me to apply for a membership card, do you?" I'm not as good as your family, and I'm not interested in this golf. ”

Lin Dingqiang laughed, "How do you know that I want you to get a card?"

"Really?!"

"The card is required, but it is not a membership card of this golf club. Lin Dingqiang pondered for a while, and finally sent an invitation to Guan Lan, "I am going to rely on this club to set up a Qingjing Club." And you, the aunt and grandmother of the Guan family, are one of my target members. ”

After experiencing so many things, Lin Dingqiang gradually understood that under the premise of having money, connections are indispensable.

The original intention of the Qingjing Club is to absorb young people with status, fame and background in the Beijing circle, but in Lin Dingqiang's vision, the Qingjing Club is different from old clubs such as Chang'an Club.

There is no annual fee for this organization, and those who become members can enjoy VIP treatment on all occasions under the Lim Ting Keung Entertainment Group.

Of course, the way to join the club is also very simple, there is no need to not only recommend people, but also sponsors like the Hong Kong Island Capital Jockey Club, as long as Lin Dingqiang himself nods.

"Qingjing Society?" Guan Lan smiled slightly after hearing this: "Master Qian, you are going to pull the mountain!"

"Your father once said that young people are the main force of society. Lin Dingqiang said slowly: "Only by uniting young people can the cause be further improved and stabilized." ”

Guan Lan sighed: "A businessman is really a businessman, do you want money to join the club?"

"Not only no, but I also provide a lot of convenience. Lin Dingqiang explained: "Besides, you have given me 300 million, and then charge you a membership fee, doesn't it seem that I am not kind?"

Guan Lan smiled heartily: "It's no problem to join! But I also have one condition." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Since you invited me to join the club, then I will become a member of 001. Guan Lan shook her head triumphantly, "This way can I be the most special!"

Lin Dingqiang responded: "You were the first person to know about this matter, No. 001, of course it's yours." ”

Guan Lan blinked, "Really, who else are you going to invite?"

Lin Ding held his chin strongly, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Jianhu is also a good candidate. ”

"Sure enough, there is a little tiger!" Guan Lan's shrewd eyes lit up and asked, "Ever since the two of you came back from Hong Kong Island, you have felt weird." Did you do something bad over there?"

Recalling the scene on Hong Kong Island, Lin Dingqiang didn't dare to tell the truth to the intelligence officer in front of him, "What's the bad thing!

"Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it!" Guan Lan replied with a smile: "Am I considered to be a member?

"Isn't this a rush to talk about it? Don't worry, there are many honors in other clubs in my place!" Lin Dingqiang patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, then I'll wait!" Guan Lan said expectantly.

And at this time, Xin Qing and the three of them also came back after talking.

After coming to Lin Dingqiang's side, Xin Qing said excitedly: "Old Lin, Song Shu is willing to go out of the mountain!"

Lin Dingqiang, who was happy to be happy, looked at Song Shu on the side, and said enthusiastically: "Miss Song, welcome to join Rongshan." ”

Song Shu changed her tone and said, "Boss, I hope you can give me a little time to get used to this job." However, I can guarantee that I will integrate into the company as quickly as possible and become your right-hand man. ”

Lin Dingqiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you enough time." But tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, you have to go to Huaxiazun to find Mr. Feng first. She is now busy with the integration of the group. You get used to it first and get to know my industry. ”

"Okay, boss. Song Shu agreed.

Xin Qing clapped her hands happily, but turned her head to think about it and asked, "Mr. Feng, Feng Xiaonan?"

"That's right. Lin Dingqiang replied: "Xiaohui is now the general manager of the Jincheng branch, Feng Xiaonan is stronger than him, so he will naturally be promoted." Otherwise, you won't be able to keep people. ”

"Even Zhang Xiaohui is the general manager?" Xin Qing glanced at Zhao Lei beside her, and said jokingly: "What is Xiaolei's current position?"

"I'm going to let her go to Jincheng to assist Zhang Xiaohui in preparing for the branch first. Lin Dingqiang looked at Xin Qing's eyes, and knew that she already had a plan in her heart, and said, "Since Xiaolei is following you, you are the boss lady again." It's up to you to decide her position!"

Xin Qing cleared her throat and said smartly: "Xiaolei, I now officially appoint you as the assistant to the chairman of Rongshan Group. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Lei's eyes widened, "Me?"

"That's right!"

Lin Dingqiang didn't think there was anything wrong with this position at first, but when he turned his head, there was something wrong, "No, don't I have a secretary?"

Xin Qing glanced at Lin Dingqiang, "Can a secretary be the same as an assistant?" Besides, Xiaolei was taught by me, so let her be your assistant cheaper for you!"

"Eh, this is not right!" Lin Dingqiang defended: "Xiao Lei followed me at the beginning!"

Xin Qing said reluctantly: "I didn't learn anything useful from you, Xiaolei grew up with me!"

This sentence is true, Zhao Lei made a draft of a bean juice shop when she followed Lin Dingqiang, and after following Xin Qing, she did dozens of large and small cases.

"Okay. Xiaolei, you will report to Jincheng tomorrow. Lin Dingqiang commanded.

Zhao Lei nodded again and again as if in a dream, "Boss, sister-in-law, I will definitely work hard!"

Seeing Zhao Lei's determined appearance, Xin Qing's heart blossomed, and she said in her ear: "If there is anything you can't get rid of, call me and ask me." I'll give you advice. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Zhao Lei said gratefully.

At this time, Huang Lechi, who had been busy in the back kitchen for a day, came to the private room, saw Lin Dingqiang outside, hurriedly walked over, and said apologetically: "Mr. Lin, I'm really embarrassed." Tonight's menu ......"

Lin Dingqiang remembered Guan Lan's words, and felt that Huang Lechi would not be substandard in cooking, and asked, "What's going on with tonight's dishes?

Huang Lechi shook his head and said honestly: "Mr. Lin, I don't hide it, no." ”
