Chapter 105: The long-awaited engagement banquet

The engagement reception was postponed until the end of next month.

You don't have to guess to know that there must be Qin Chu's credit in this.

It's just that Xu Youran and Qin Chu have been almost inseparable in the past few days, and even so, Xu Youran still doesn't know how Qin Chu did it.

Through some news channels, Xu Youran learned that Xing Jiajia privately complained that Qin Lie was too busy, and roughly guessed the reason for the postponement of the engagement banquet, which was nothing more than Qin Chu secretly causing trouble for Qin Lie, so that Qin Lie was now too busy to take care of himself.

At the same time, in the past few days, Qin Chu and the Xu family have been in contact much more frequently than usual.

At the dinner table, the two men of the Xu family chatted with Qin Chu about the current development prospects of the industry, although Xu Youran didn't ask much about the daily business of the Xu family, but he also listened to the words of the three of them a little.

Qin Chu naturally introduced the topic of cooperation, "In fact, the most promising thing now is the cultural industry, especially entertainment, and the introduction of the copyright of works into the film and television industry will naturally enter the closed loop of the industry, and seizing the source of the closed loop is not only a good opportunity for Xu's, but also a big challenge." ”

The people present were all smart people, so they naturally understood the meaning of Qin Chu's words.

Although Xu's acquired the station as the source of the entertainment industry, it does not have any experience and resources to operate the copyright, if a good one, if it is not well managed, even if the content is good and the intention is high, it will still not be able to survive.

Although Father Xu was not as young and promising as Qin Chu, he had lived more than Qin Chu for most of his life, and his eyes rolled, "You want to say...... Cooperation?"

Qin Chu nodded, but did not say the specific details of the cooperation, but everyone also understood that Shouce is indeed experienced in the film and television industry, and cooperation is indeed a beautiful thing for mutual benefit and win-win.

At that time, as long as the copyright is on fire after the broadcast, Xu's cultural and creative peripheral business can also keep up in time, and naturally a closed loop of the entertainment industry will be formed.

Xu Youran lowered his head to eat elegantly, and glanced at Qin Chu, who was calm.

Seeing that the atmosphere that was still talking happily just now suddenly changed, the smile on Father Xu's face was slightly restrained, and the topic changed suddenly.

"I heard that the capital is also preparing to enter this line?" Father Xu asked tentatively.

On the other side of the capital, it is a subtle expression of the Qin family in the capital.

Father Xu's sentence revealed two contents.

He is willing to cooperate with Shouce in business.

He does not cooperate with the Qin family behind Qin Chu.

"Yes. Qin Chu's answer was a little unexpected directly, and he added at the end, "The old man means that he wants me to talk to you and Ning Yuan about the acquisition." ”

"Acquisition?" Xu Ningyuan was a little surprised by Qin Chu's straightforwardness, and hurriedly went to see Xu's father's reaction, and sure enough, he saw that his face was a little not good-looking.

Father Xu sank his face and slowly put down his chopsticks.

Mother Xu on the side had not participated in the family's business conversation, and when she saw that the atmosphere had become heavy at this time, she changed the topic with haha.

The meal was not very pleasant.

Everyone could see that Father Xu was unhappy, and after dinner, he didn't leave Xu Youran and Qin Chu for the night.

Seeing that he was also angry, Xu Youran laughed instead of being angry, "When I married you, your Xu family looked down on our Xu family very much, why do you still think about us now?"

"It's not your Xu family that looks at it, but the copyright of your newly acquired company. Qin Chu's mouth raised a faint arc, "However, aren't you angry with me?" After all, I'm acting for our family now." ”

She shrugged, "You're not going to lie to me. ”

Her trust warmed Qin Chu's heart, but she couldn't help but remind, "Although you believe me, do you really think that the Qin family I represent will not worry about this piece of fat?"

"You will help the Xu family. Xu Youran swore by it.

The eyes of the two collided, and a look of surprise appeared in Qin Chu's eyes, and then he smiled, "Yes, I will help you." ”

believes that Qin Chu will help the Xu family, not only because Xu Youran believes in Qin Chu.

In fact, she didn't know how many catties and taels the scale in Qin Chu's heart measured for her, but she was sure that Qin Chu would never help the Qin family.

The so-called trust is sometimes nothing more than a white lie that has been firmly established in the heart.

Although it was found from the meal just now that Father Xu was not optimistic about the cooperation between the two families, and it could even be said that he was completely resistant, Qin Chu did not give up.

Xu Youran did not act as a lobbyist, but only played with each other by her husband and father.

Although the two sides did not back down, Xu Youran had already seen the end.

Unconsciously, a month later, Xu Youran and Qin Chu went to the restaurant where the engagement banquet was held.

Before coming, Xu Youran thought that Qin Chu would let Qi Rao also attend, but he hadn't seen Qi Rao for a long time.

When I think about it, I understand.

Today's occasion is a meeting between the two families, and if Qin Chu brings two female companions, it will only make the Xing family see jokes, so he was only going to bring one female companion from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Xu Youran said faintly, "So you originally planned to bring Qi Rao here?"

Qin Chu nodded, "Could it be that you have a good relationship with Xing Jiajia, don't you hate to see her?"

It sounded as if she was really thinking about her, Xu Youran said "hehe" and stopped making a sound.

Qin Chu knew that Xu Youran was jealous, and laughed at her duplicity in his heart, and his mouth was not exposed to the same emotions as her.

He didn't explain too much, and he didn't take special care of her feelings, because he knew Xu Youran, as smart as her, she could figure it out by herself.

As Qin Chu expected, Xu Youran really figured it out.

"But seriously, you said before that you were afraid that others would do something to the Xu family, so you stayed away from me, and now you bring me to this kind of occasion, will you ...... "Cause some trouble to the Xu family?"

"No, it won't. Qin Chu's answer was categorical, "Second Uncle knows that you don't deal with the Xing family, and he will think that I deliberately brought you over today to make Xing Jiajia unhappy." ”

Hearing this, Xu Youran let go of a worried heart.

The two of them almost pressed into the box, and as soon as the waiter in front of them gave them a view, they saw that there were already people sitting in the box.

The heroes and heroines of the engagement banquet, as well as the parents of the Xing family.

Just as Xing Jiajia and Xu Youran are in the same situation, the criminal father and mother also don't want to see Xu Youran, and their eyes quickly swept over Xu Youran.

Qin Lie immediately got up and introduced a few people.

"Mom and Dad, this is Achu and Yu Ran. ”

Qin Lie is exactly 50 years old this year, and his criminal father and criminal mother are only half a hundred years old, judging from his age, Qin Lie may be one year older than his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It's just that even if Qin Lie calls his father and mother his parents, his tone is not obvious, and the general son-in-law is in awe when he sees his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but Qin Lie always controls the right to speak at home.

The father and mother of the criminal had a friendly look on their faces, "Ah Lie just told us that his nephew is young and promising!"

"Oh, is it?" Qin Chu said with a smile, "But second uncle, you have two nephews, what about me, or the eldest brother?"

"Of course it'......"

Before Qin Lie finished speaking, Old Man Qin arrived, and Brother Qin and Yu Hui stood beside the old man on the left and right, like his left and right protectors.

They had obviously heard their conversation just now, Xu Youran and Qin Chu were not seated, they were standing at the door of the box, which happened to be bordering the inside without affecting the observation of the corridor outside.

Therefore, Xu Youran had every reason to suspect that when Qin Chu finally said that, he had noticed the arrival of the three of them, so he deliberately led the battle.

Maybe Brother Qin may not really care about Qin Lie's opinion of him as a nephew, but he must care about the comparison with his younger brother.

Sure enough, Brother Qin's face collapsed a little.

The atmosphere froze, Qin Lie naturally didn't feel anything, but the father and mother felt that they had a bad start, and immediately invited the rest of the people to take a seat.

The mother of the criminal took the lead in throwing out a topic, "The old man doesn't look like he is eighty years old, he looks like he is fifty or sixty." ”

The criminal father was professional and praised, and echoed that the old man was young.

But he didn't want to be interrupted by a burst of laughter, and it could be seen that Qin Chu deliberately pressed the laughter back into his throat, but it only made the laughter seem less abrupt and couldn't be completely concealed.

His smiling expression was like he had heard something funny.

made the father and mother think that they had said something wrong, and smiled awkwardly, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Not really. Qin Chu saw that he was discovered, and he no longer covered it up, "I just think it's funny, the second uncle is also fifty years old, and the two said that grandpa looks fifty or sixty, but I have only seen sisters and mothers and daughters, and it is rare for a father and son to look like brothers at an age." ”

Old Man Qin and Qin Lie didn't look like peers from the outside, and everyone present knew it in their hearts.

Old Man Qin also understood that this was an intentional flattery from the two in-laws, so he just laughed it off, but Qin Chu was so obvious that he was unhappy for both sides.

For so many years, his son and grandson have fought openly and secretly, and the old man has turned a blind eye, and even intends to promote their competition.

In his opinion, it is no problem to fight in private, but in front of outsiders, he must maintain a rigorous attitude and not be caught by others and have the slightest opportunity to take advantage of it.

Therefore, the old man was a little unhappy about Qin Chu's performance just now, but he poured his anger on others.

"Hmph-" Old Man Qin snorted, but this voice seemed to be blaming the torture father and mother for talking nonsense.

The couple's original intention was to please the old man, but unexpectedly, the sycophants were shot in the wrong way.

The beginning of the meal was not so pleasant, but after ordering, the Xing family settled down a lot and no longer intended to talk.

Every time he eats with the Qin family, Xu Youran keeps one point in mind: quiet.

Try to reduce your sense of existence so as not to be annoying.

After all, the Qin family is all "world-weary" mentality, don't have the greedy idea of making the Qin family like you, as long as you don't let them annoy you more, you are already half the battle.

So before coming, Xu Youran had already imagined how Xing Jiajia would please the Qin family, but the truth didn't seem to be what she thought.

She glanced over there and saw Xing Jiajia'an sitting quietly beside Qin Lie, not saying anything, as if she had changed into a different person.

Although the Qin family has the rule of "food does not speak", the purpose of this meal is to talk about marriage between the two families after all.

Old Man Qin finally spoke, "Ah Lie, how many months do you want to hold a wedding in the second half of the year?"

Xing Jiajia finally looked up, she was a little nervous waiting for Qin Lie's answer.

"I found someone to watch the auspicious days of the zodiac in the second half of the year. Qin Lie said, "But October is too fast, and December is too cold, I'm afraid that Jiajia will freeze her body when she wears a wedding dress." ”

Xing Jiajia heard this, and her frustration was about to overflow from the bottom of her heart.

Is this meant to be postponed until next year?

A sour rush welled up in her throat, and she swallowed it again, hiding her emotions.

"November 26 is an auspicious day for the zodiac, the timing is just right, and it won't be too cold. Qin Lie said.

Qin Lie held Xing Jiajia's hand and glanced at her, who couldn't hide the surprise in his heart and looked moved.

But Qin Chu and Xu Youran over there had a stiff smile.
