Chapter 427 Remember the good memories before tonight
On the annual birthday of the old man, no matter how busy he is, everyone in the Zeng family will put down their work and sit together. What was once a joy has gradually changed over the years. On the surface, it is harmonious, but in fact, the family has long lost its previous intimacy.
Zeng Guoqiang gave birth to three sons and a daughter, except for the youngest daughter Zeng Qingxiu, none of the three sons are fuel-efficient lamps, which is a good thing for Lao Huai to comfort, but he can't be happy.
The eldest son, Zeng Qinghua, dares to fight and fights, and has a bit of his temperament back then, but he has an extra anger on his body. The third son, Zeng Qingsheng, has a very flexible brain, but he has a yin owl atmosphere. Although the second son Zeng Qingwen is sometimes a little indecisive and not courageous, he is generally calm and atmospheric, and it is the best choice for the Zeng Group in the stage of keeping the business.
Zeng Qinghua has a son and a daughter, his son Zeng Xiangyun is married to the daughter of a deputy mayor of the city, and her daughter Zeng Yalan's husband's family is also a major shareholder of a listed company.
Zeng Qingsheng's son, Zeng Xiangming, studied law at Columbia University, one of the Ivy League colleges in the United States.
Originally, a good marriage was arranged for Zeng Qingwen back then, and the Tian family's great cause was a good foreign aid, but I didn't think that Zeng Qingwen, who had been the most peaceful and self-conscious since childhood, actually found a junior outside, which caused the Tian family to be very dissatisfied, if it weren't for the fact that the two families had to take care of the family image, I am afraid that they would have divorced a long time ago. Daughter Zeng Yaqian is recognized by everyone as the smartest and most capable of the next generation of the Zeng family, but now she only went to a domestic junior college, and her marriage with the Meng family can be regarded as providing Zeng Qingwen with foreign aid, but there is a Lu Shanmin in the middle for some reason.
was originally a good card for Wang Bang, but it was dismantled by Zeng Qingwen, and the big and small kings may not necessarily win.
It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business. Zeng Qingwen is now facing a more difficult situation, there is internal strife and no strong reinforcement outside, which can be described as difficult step by step. That is, he is still alive, if he is gone, the eldest and the third would have ousted the second child long ago.
Zeng Guoqiang didn't think about personally coming forward to consolidate Zeng Qingwen's position, but he knew that he could manage it for a while, but he couldn't manage it for a lifetime, he was already in his old age, and he could shelter the Zeng family for many years.
Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and Zeng Qingwen can survive it, which shows that the Zeng family is right to hand it over to him, and if he can't stand it, it shows that he is not qualified enough to take the helm of the Zeng family's big ship.
What he is most worried about is that the Zeng family has offended many people while growing over the years, and those people may be hiding in the dark to sharpen their knives, just waiting for the Zeng family to attack them when they are fighting, and pounce on them to bite a few bites of meat.
The old man sat in the center in a newly custom-made festive Tang costume.
Zeng Qingwen took Zeng Qinghua, Zeng Qingsheng, Zeng Qingxiu, and their respective wives and husbands to pay homage to the old man's birthday.
Everyone knelt in front of Zeng Guoqiang, holding the birthday gifts they had prepared with both hands, "I wish my father a blessing like a longevity in the East China Sea."
Zeng Guoqiang nodded with a smile, "Get up."
After everyone got up, Zeng Qinghua said with a smile: "Dad, why don't we open the gift for you to see, so that you can be happy and happy."
Zeng Guoqiang glanced at his son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and son-in-law standing in front of him, Zeng Qinghua smiled naturally and casually, Zeng Qingsheng had a faint schadenfreude at the corner of his mouth, Zeng Qingwen's face was not very good, and Zeng Qingxiu's face was indifferent.
"I'll see later, the grandchildren haven't kowtowed to me yet."
After everyone left, Zeng Xiangyun took the deputy mayor's daughter's wife, Zeng Yalan with her husband, Zeng Yaqian, and Zeng Qingxiu's daughter Guo Yue, who went to high school, with their respective gifts to the old man's birthday. Zeng Xiangming, who only went to school in the United States, did not rush back.
Next is Fang Yuanshan and a few bodyguards who were regarded as family members by the Zeng family to pay homage to the old man's birthday.
The villa was full of family members, even the major shareholders and executives of the group were not invited.
In the center of the hall is a large round table that can seat more than 20 people. Zeng Guoqiang sat in the middle, and the others sat away in turn.
Zeng Guoqiang glanced at the children and grandchildren on a table, and said with a faint smile, "Why, today, the old man and I are alive, you don't seem to be very happy."
Zeng Qinghua said with a smile, "Dad, what are you talking about, of course we are happy, but if you don't speak, we don't dare to say it first."
Zeng Guoqiang ignored the words in his eldest son's words, and laughed: "Then let's eat."
Zeng Qinghua also laughed, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the wine glass, "Dad, I respect you, I wish you every year today, every year you have today, I did it, you take a sip." ”
"Okay, you boss is a good man, you know how to be considerate of the old man, you all follow and study hard. As he spoke, he looked at Zeng Qinghua with half-squinted eyes.
Zeng Qinghua looked natural, and laughed, "Dad, you have won the award, who doesn't know that the best in our Zeng family is the second child, and I still have a lot of places to learn from the second child."
Zeng Qingwen smiled faintly, "Big brother said that you are laughing, whether in the company or at home, you are my eldest brother, and you have to rely on the support of your eldest brother."
Zeng Qingsheng picked up his wine glass, "The eldest brother and the second brother are the mainstays of the Zeng family, with the two of you here, I am at ease."
Zeng Guoqiang took a sip of wine, "Brothers are united in their interests, and I am relieved to see the three of you humble each other."
Zeng Qingwen violently dried the liquor in his hand, "Dad, don't worry, the Zeng family will definitely go to the next level in the hands of our three brothers."
Zeng Qinghua casually glanced at his wife Fan Min.
Fan Min picked up the wine glass and walked to the old man's side, "Dad, daughter-in-law toasts you and wishes you good health and a long life."
Zeng Guoqiang nodded slightly, "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, men take care of things outside, you have to be more careful about things at home, no matter what happens outside, family harmony is more important than anything else."
Fan Min smiled and nodded, "Dad, don't worry, the three brothers are busy, I often ask Wenxin and Jiamei to go out shopping and watch movies, and we have a good relationship with each other."
Zeng Qingsheng's wife Luo Jiamei picked up her wine glass and walked to the old man's side with a smile and echoed: "Dad, sister-in-law is right, we often get together, but Wenxin is sometimes more homely and doesn't like to go out very much."
Zeng Guoqiang glanced at Tian Wenxin, who was sitting not far away, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, a gentle and virtuous lady, who was tortured by Zeng Qingwen to the point that she was now haggard and suddenly lost, even if she was dressed luxuriously today, she couldn't hide the loneliness and sadness in her eyes.
Zeng Guoqiang glared at Zeng Qingwen who was sitting next to him, Zeng Qingwen avoided the old man's eyes, and said to Tian Wenxin, who was still a little distracted, "Today is Dad's birthday, toast Dad."
Tian Wenxin raised her head, and then she realized that her sister-in-law and younger siblings were already standing beside the old man with wine.
A trace of embarrassment and apology flashed on Tian Wenxin's face, and she got up and picked up her wine glass, "Dad, happy birthday."
Zeng Guoqiang took a sip, "Let's all sit down."
Next, the grandchildren began to toast Zeng Guoqiang from Zeng Xiangyun.
After three rounds of drinking, this year's atmosphere seems a little cold, and the scene slowly begins to find a trace of the excitement of the past.
Zeng Yaqian has been watching coldly, and she laughed in her heart, each family with a ghost child has to pretend to be happy.
Zeng Xiangyun raised his glass, "Yaqian, you are our role model, in our generation, you give grandpa a long face, and eldest brother toasts you."
Zeng Yaqian smiled faintly, "Big brother is really joking, who doesn't know that I am now the joke of the entire East China Sea, but big brother, you married Mayor Chen's daughter, that is to give grandpa a long face."
Saying that, he raised his glass and raised his glass to Chen Yan, "My sister-in-law is beautiful and virtuous, and her status is noble, I have wronged you by marrying our Zeng family."
Chen Yan smiled and said jokingly: "Marrying the Zeng family is not wronged, marrying your brother is indeed wronged, if he has half of your ability, I will wake up laughing in my dream."
Zeng Xiangyun smiled awkwardly, "One is my sister and the other is my wife, how can you bury me like this."
Guo Yue attached her ear to Zeng Yaqian's ear and said softly: "Cousin Yaqian, how do I feel that my grandfather's birthday banquet this year is different from previous years."
Zeng Yaqian smiled lightly, "Even you feel it"?
Guo Yue pursed her lips, "Sister, I'm in my second year of high school, don't treat me as a child."
Zeng Yaqian shook the red wine in her hand, "Remember the good memories before tonight, don't forget."
Guo Yue looked dazed, "Sister, what's going on tonight, you all sound clear when you speak, but you always feel incomprehensible."
Fan Min picked up the wine glass and said to Zeng Yaqian with a smile, "Yaqian, your company has been established for almost a year, if there is anything interesting, tell the eldest aunt, the eldest aunt is very curious."
Zeng Qinghua slapped the table and said to Fan Min unhappily: "As long as your mouth is long, today is the old man's birthday, and you only talk about family affairs and not official affairs."
Zeng Yaqian sneered, "Uncle, don't act, you squeezed your eyebrows at the eldest aunt several times, am I blind? A big man pushed his wife out as a gunman, just by virtue of this, no wonder grandpa didn't hand over the Zeng family to you back then."
The people at the table are all smart people, except for Guo Yue, who is ignorant, everyone can see it. Although everyone knows that Zeng Yaqian is not a master to be messed with, no one thought that Zeng Yaqian would be so direct and not give Zeng Qinghua face.
The people at the table fell silent in an instant, and they could only hear Zeng Qinghua's panting voice, and he was the same, he didn't expect Zeng Yaqian to ignore him as an uncle at all.
Zeng Qingwen felt a little refreshed in his heart, but on the surface he was very angry, "Yaqian, how did you talk to your uncle."
Zeng Yaqian smiled and said with disdain, "Obviously I am secretly happy in my heart, and I pretended to train me a few words to show the generosity of your chairman of the vast group, if you dare to speak to him like me, who dares to covet the position of the chairman of the vast group."
Zeng Qingwen's face turned pale, and the darkness just now made him forget that this daughter didn't have the slightest affection for him as a father.
