Chapter 110: Gathering Fire
At the dining table, Gao Shijin can be said to be the mobilization of the whole family, from his cousin to his aunt, to his second cousin, his third cousin, and his fourth cousin.
When Cheng Ran's family arrived, when Cheng Feiyang led the way to the door, except for the cousin and aunt who had come to Shanhai to play and had the highest seniority, other cousins and daughters-in-law all stood up under the leadership of Gao Shijin, and they were a little restrained. The third cousin, who was originally the most cheerful and usually spoke in a hurry, didn't know where to put her hands at this time, and the smile on her face was obviously unnatural.
Gao Shaoning, the fourth cousin and the second cousin, the two boys, and the little girl from the third cousin's family, all stared at Cheng Feiyang with some awe.
Originally, in fact, if Cheng Feiyang was just the identity of the CEO of Fulong Company, it would be enough, and the brothers on the Gao family's side might not be able to put on such a posture, but the Lei Wei incident some time ago, it was finally fermented to the streets and alleys to hear about it, Lei Wei kicked the iron plate of Fulong when he was in tandem with Beituo Company, and then the whole system collapsed, and the incident at first glance was the result of Lei Wei being arrested, the underworld group being defeated, and Beituo's reputation plummeting.
But the undercurrent caused by this incident has actually continued, and until now, many high-ranking officials in the province's officialdom have dismounted, and the continued shock continues.
Then they finally confirmed that Cheng Feiyang, the cousin on the other side of the mountains and seas, was what people called Mr. Cheng.
In this case, Cheng Feiyang is no longer an ordinary company CEO in the eyes of everyone, and the invisible aura and oppression when he arrives are no less than some of them have seen before.
Cheng Feiyang was the first to step forward and hold his cousin's hand, there were tears in the corners of her cousin's eyes, and she said vigorously, I used to listen to how you were a soldier, and the children of my brother's family are promising...... Gao Shijin opened with words like family banquets and relatives to the paddock, he knew that Cheng Feiyang was not here because of him, he had called Xu Lan several times before, saying that the reception occasions had been decided, but the time was not suitable for Xu Lan, Cheng Feiyang had something to refuse, so he changed it again and again, until finally he couldn't let his old mother call Cheng Feiyang, and Cheng Ran's family responded.
He knew that his performance in the past was really unsatisfactory, and now it was meaningless to say anything, so he could only rely on the words "relatives", "how was it before", and "all of them are family" as much as possible.
In the past, Gao Shijin, who was absolutely dominant in this kind of family banquet and dinner, is no longer there, Cheng Feiyang frequently said hello to his cousin, and everyone's topic was also related to the elderly.
The third cousin didn't know how to leak her mouth, mentioning that her mother was sick and hospitalized some time ago, and several sons were admitted to the hospital to take a look, and she was the one who served from beginning to end, so that her children didn't do well in the exam this time, and the eyes of the third cousin who were in a hurry were red.
Cheng Feiyang's face turned cold, Gao Shijin hurriedly said that during that time, he was also very busy in his shop, the second brother and the fourth brother all had a shop and helped each other, basically they couldn't be busy, but the money for the third sister was in place, and the old mother in the family was sick and she could afford a lot of it.
Cheng Feiyang's face softened a little, "These are not excuses, the old man should take care of them more, you are such a mother, if you have three longs and two shorts, no matter how much money you make, you will only regret it!"
Everyone nodded vigorously, and shouted at their cousins and aunts, and Gao Shijin also nodded again and again, and said that his eyes were red when he was excited.
In the past, Gao Shijin, who regarded himself as the patriarch at home, nodded and bent his waist like this, but everyone on the Gao family's side felt that in front of Cheng Feiyang's aura, it seemed that these were so natural.
However, my cousin couldn't sit still when she saw that her eldest son was a little aggrieved by Cheng Feiyang's heavy words, and she told Cheng Feiyang that several children were very good to her, and that she was not a serious illness, but she was hospitalized with low blood sugar, and their children dragged their families and were busy with life, and so on, and they were very short-lived...... made Cheng Feiyang nod and say good things to her again and again.
At a meal, the elders were talking and talking about their parents, and Gao Shaoning, who was sitting with Cheng Ran, and her three cousins were secretly looking at Cheng Ran.
Gao Shaoning didn't have the sense of burden in front of Cheng Ran's family like her parents, probably because she still felt that Cheng Ran was not too old in age with her, and her cousin was not so distant in terms of identity, she asked softly, "Are you studying in No. 10 Middle School...... Isn't it stressful?"
"Pressure?" Cheng Ran thought for a moment, "Yes." ”
"Isn't there a lot of good grades around?" Gao Shaoning tilted his head and shook his braids.
Cheng Ran said, "It's okay, for me...... Not too much. ”
"Cut ......" Gao Shaoning wrinkled his nose, "The top fifty in the grade said this, so you heard the calluses in my ears in the past, and if you don't work hard, how many of them are in the top ten middle schools of Sichuan University?"
"Grade...... Second. ”
Gao Shaoning opened his mouth, and the originally prepared "Cut!" was stuffed back into his throat like a fist.
In the end, he was so shocked that he held back a sentence, "Son deceive!?"
Cheng Ran smiled, "It's not often that I can get this score, but I played better this time." ”
Gao Shaoning continued to watch Superman's return, tilting his head to look at him like a steel body for a long time.
In the end, I didn't even know how to speak.
This is probably the situation that talks about the sky to death.
You can't swallow your saliva and say, "Why do you have another one in front of you?"
What she was afraid to hear was "He got one more question right than I did." ”
It's not a matter of dignity, it's a disparity between species.
Gao Shaoning then stopped talking, but his eyes rolled around and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Cheng Ran knew as soon as he saw this "distant cousin" that he was not a worry-free person, although Gao Shijin was usually very majestic in the family, but in fact, Gao Shaoning was a little rebellious, and he usually spoke very aggressively.
Probably thinking of the events of that day, Gao Shaoning turned his head again and said, "Who was that beautiful sister that day, and what does it have to do with you?"
"Good friends. ”
Gao Shaoning said "oh", and said without giving up, "Classmates, how good is it? Will you go out to play together alone in private?"
Seeing Cheng Ran smiling but not smiling, Gao Shaoning said stupidly, "I heard that sister's family has become a big official?"
"So what? And then she shouldn't have any friends?" Cheng Ran said.
"That's not what it means...... Gao Shaoning curled her mouth, "I just think she's very kind to you, I can't see it at all...... But then again, people who are really capable are generally quite low-key. ”
Cheng Ran said, "This is not quite right, there are many high-profile people who have the ability, hundreds of people do hundreds of things, and many times, there is no absolute high-profile and low-key, it only depends on the needs of the stage of action at that time. And low-key can keep yourself hidden on the cusp of some storms, and the basis of low-key is to be high-profile at any time. So the so-called low-key is the argument of style, I actually don't agree, some people keep saying that the so-called low-key is because they are high-profile and high-profile but others, so they can only be a fig leaf for the ostrich mentality. ”
Gao Shaoning was dumbfounded, and finally said, "Can all the scholars say that!?"
Cheng Ran smiled in his heart, mainly because the current dinner was too boring, so he said a few more words on Gao Shaoning's chat, and felt that he was debating with a little girl.
Gao Shaoning's eyes rolled again, and he said, "Do you have something to do in the afternoon?"
Cheng Ran didn't hesitate at all, nodding, "There's something." ”
"Shit! I asked your mom before, you're both free today. Gao Shaoning raised his head and pouted, and his braids were shaken off due to his excessive movements, "In the afternoon, our stage play will be performed at the Provincial Grand Theater, and I have an internal ticket, let's watch it together!"
Gao Shaoning's words immediately focused the topic on the dinner table.
My cousin also looked at Cheng Ran with an eager face, "Ning Ning, didn't she learn to dance, their troupe had a performance this time, she was also selected, she also has a ticket amount, for relatives and friends, it sells eighty-eight outside, go and see, don't waste it." ”
"Are you ......" Cheng Ran looked at Gao Shaoning in front of him, "Performance?"
Gao Shaoning's black eyes sparkled, and he nodded vigorously.
At this time, Xu Lan finally spoke, and probably didn't plan to let Cheng Ran and Rongcheng's cousins be too estranged, "Or ...... Just go and see it, Cousin Gao's performance, give her a show. ”
Then there is what Cheng Ran is most afraid of encountering, a large table of relatives gossiping "come here" type of persuasion and fire.
