Two days later, Sunday at noon.

Gao Jianxiong prepaid in advance and booked a table at the Jin Jiang Hotel. He himself went to the hotel box early to wait, picking up his phone and putting it down from time to time.

"Sir, when will the food be served?" the waitress came over softly to inquire.

Gao Jianxiong nodded politely: "Wait, wait, I'm sorry." ”

The waitress smiled politely: "It's okay, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, I'm just asking, just tell me at any time if you need to serve food." ”

As soon as Gao Jianxiong finished explaining, his mobile phone rang, and he picked it up, it was Tang Jia calling.

Tang Jia originally didn't have a mobile phone, but since the relationship between the two was confirmed, Gao Jianxiong has always been weak-hearted, and he always feels that he owes a little bit not to spend money on girls, so he has to give each other one. After all, he felt that he was nine years older than the other party, a bit of an old cow eating tender grass, and always wanted to make up for it materially.

Tang Jia couldn't refuse, and Gao Jianxiong repeatedly said that it was for the convenience of contact, so she accepted it for the time being.

"What's the situation?" asked Gao Jianxiong, a little nervously.

Tang Jia said apologetically on the phone: "It's all to blame my mother for not doing a good job of confidentiality, I talked about my boyfriend, and many relatives knew about it, and today my aunt's family will also come to check it." ”

Gao Jianxiong thought for a while: "That's nothing, I can't finish a table of dishes, I'll just invite a few more people together." ”

Tang Jia sighed: "They also want to save face, they don't know each other and accept your invitation directly, which is not good." So now it's going to be fun at Jinjiang Paradise next door. They also want me to take you out, create a chance encounter, and then have a meal together, and soon, half an hour is over. ”

It is necessary not only to check the gates, but also to save face. However, this also shows that people pay attention to the details of etiquette, and Gao Jianxiong thinks about it and thinks it's nothing.

"I see, you tell me something, I'll go right away. After hanging up the phone, Gao Jianxiong smiled and said to the waitress at the hotel, "Sorry, it may take half an hour before the food is served." ”

"It's okay, you're on your own. Of course, the hotel won't stop him, because he paid in advance.

So Gao Jianxiong rushed to the nearby Jinjiang Park, pretending to play with the Ferris wheel, and then met by chance in the queue next to the Ferris wheel.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the face project of the false and untrustworthy snake.

Anyway, it was more than ten minutes of socializing, and then drove Santana back to the box of the Jin Jiang Hotel. In recent years, the traffic police have not checked this kind of short-distance overloading.

The guests he received, in addition to Tang Jia's parents, also included Tang Jia's aunt.

Along the way, Gao Jianxiong listened to the Tang family chatting there, and vaguely learned that Tang Jia's aunt's daughter, that is, Tang Jia's cousin, seemed to be married very well-

Her aunt's house was just demolished last year, and she can be resettled with compensation or money. But because the eldest aunt's family only gave birth to a daughter, there is no son, and the need for the house is not strong.

In addition, Tang Jia's cousin had the opportunity to go abroad at that time, and she also met some foreign friends, so for the sake of their daughter's future, they chose a desperate currency placement, asked for money, and after packaging their daughter, they successfully married a foreigner. Although her house in Hujiang is gone, her daughter now sends foreign exchange back every quarter, and the family lives well in a rented house.

In the late 80s and until the mid-90s, a considerable number of women in Hujiang, a frontier city open to the outside world, married foreigners and sought the opportunity to settle abroad. However, at that time, there were not so many whites and blacks, and most of them married foreigners were also married to overseas Chinese, otherwise they would not be able to pass the language barrier.

Although such a proportion is not high in the crowd, because it is very conspicuous, such an example can always be found among the relatives of the middle class. And the daughter of a foreigner who successfully marries also feels bright on her face, and she especially likes to go out to help others with a well-informed attitude when her relatives want to find a son-in-law.

This is the survivorship effect.

Just as an airplane that has been shot in a critical part cannot fly back, only a plane that has been shot in a non-critical part will fly back, so analyzing the bullet holes of a living airplane cannot truly reflect the proportion of the degree of critical parts of the aircraft.

In the same way, people whose daughters marry very shamefully will not point fingers at the daughters of relatives and friends to find boyfriends, and everyone stays at home and lives in silence. Only those who marry the most successfully like to guide people to be marriage and love counselors.

Tang Jia's aunt's family is obviously the most successful in this aspect among the relatives Tang Jia knows.

"It seems that the uncle and aunt are okay, but I am afraid that they will be embarrassed in front of her aunt. After all, Gao Jianxiong is older, and his human feelings are still much stronger than that of college students, and he quickly analyzed the crux of the problem.

When he arrived at the hotel and sat down, Gao Jianxiong ordered the food to be served, and the wine was quite decent, and after a few polite words, Gao Jianxiong diligently poured wine and persuaded the other party to drink: "Come on, come on, everyone has been playing in Jinjiang Park for so long, you should be tired, don't be polite to eat more." ”

Tang Jia's mother politely ate the fried eel silk and asked, "Xiao Gao, where are you from and what are you doing?"

"I am a native of Jiangnan Province, and I have been working in eastern Guangdong in the south for a few years, and last year I followed a Nanyang overseas Chinese boss, and I am currently working as the general manager of a small company. Gao Jianxiong does not lie, but groomes and says truthfully.

When he first joined the army, it was in the mid-80s, and Hailan had not yet established a province at that time, so he said that he was working in Guangdong Province, and he was definitely not lying.

As for whether Yuedong will give people the feeling of being rich, that is the other party's own speculation, regardless of his business.

"Jiangnan and eastern Guangdong are also good places. There are many foreign bosses in the south, and Xiao Gao has encountered a good opportunity, so he must work hard and be worthy of the kindness of other bosses. Tang Jia's father helped to play a round, he wore glasses, and he seemed to be a very reasonable intellectual, Si Sven.

"I will, we didn't say that the boss treats people, I will definitely work harder. Gao Jianxiong chimed in.

The atmosphere was originally good, but at this time, the fashionably dressed middle-aged and elderly woman in sunglasses, that is, Tang Jia's aunt, asked coldly: "It's really good to follow Nanyang overseas Chinese, my son-in-law is Nanyang overseas Chinese." But Xiao Gao, where are you from? Jiangnan Province is not all in Jiangnan, you look so thoughtful, you are from Gusu, right?"

When the aunt of the Tang family opened her mouth, she steadily suppressed a sense of superiority: No matter how well your Jiajia marries, she is just marrying a senior worker under Nanyang overseas Chinese, and my daughter is directly married to Nanyang overseas Chinese herself!

Of course, she selectively ignored the fact that there are also three, six, nine and so on between Nanyang overseas Chinese and Nanyang overseas Chinese. Her son-in-law is not a big boss, at best he is a small shopkeeper in Kuala Lumpur/Johor.

Gao Jianxiong gritted his teeth: "I'm ashamed, I'm from Tongzhou." ”

"Nongjiang (gang) north (bo) (ning) people. Aunt Tang sympathized in a low voice and novelty, "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, too, it's brilliant." ”

"Auntie!" Tang Jia was directly angry. She knew that her aunt had always liked to show off that her cousin was married well, and she didn't have to compare it when she found an opportunity all the time.

"It's okay, it's okay, eat vegetables. Mother Tang hurriedly persuaded in the middle.

Since Tang's mother heard that Gao Jianxiong was the general manager of a foreign-funded company, she was actually very satisfied. So at this moment, she and her sister are obviously not in the same front, and she also knows that her sister originally came to check and find a sense of superiority by the way, so she couldn't find a sense of superiority and had to subconsciously pick a little thorn, but she herself felt that this son-in-law was good, and she didn't bother to bother with her sister.

Because she was afraid that Aunt Tang would continue to find faults, Tang's mother took the initiative to find Gao Jianxiong's advantageous side and asked: "Xiao Gao, you just said that you are from a foreign company, why don't you tell me what industry your unit has?"

In Tang's mother's view, the foreign-funded company is either engaged in financial services or foreign trade, and it must be a lofty profession.

It's a pity she guessed wrong.

Gao Jianxiong replied truthfully: "It's a security company." ”

"Security company?" This thing was relatively rare in China in the 90s.

"It's about providing bodyguard services to the rich. Gao Jianxiong explained.

"What about you...... What did you do? How could the bodyguard company hire you? Who ......were you? Senior civil servants in the police service?"

"I was a soldier. Gao Jianxiong doesn't want to whitewash it, not to mention that he is still proud of his former military status in his bones, and he doesn't care whether the society can afford it or not.

Speaking of this, he simply handed over the business card, "This is my business card." ”

"Anyone who is a soldier can be an executive for a foreign boss?Jiajia, have you seen Xiao Gao's leader?" Aunt Tang looked suspicious.

She almost said the "ancient precept" that "a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a book", and she was deeply unwilling that such a vulgar person could be reused by foreigners.

Tang Jia knew what her aunt was suspicious, of course she had to testify for her boyfriend: "I've seen it, Boss Gu treats people very well, young and promising, when I was in the winter camp, I also followed Brother Gao to go to sea with Boss Gu's boat."

Boss Gu is an international student of our Jiaotong University, who runs a large shipping company and a foreign trade company, and this security company is also newly established by him for his own business security services. ”

Tang Jia said that it was so detailed to prove that Gao Jianxiong's company was absolutely reliable.

However, the attention of the audience was clearly distorted.

"International students? Your classmates, you're very young. The surname is Gu, so it should be a Han person?" Aunt Tang reacted quickly, and with her keen sense of smell for money, she quickly grasped a few key points.

After pondering and understanding these two points, Aunt Tang almost blurted out: You are so blind, there are big bosses among your classmates who don't hurry up and hug and catch them, what kind of waste of youth is a waste of time with a soldier who has been a soldier?

Fortunately, she held back her internal injuries and endured.

The atmosphere at the wine table was a little tense and awkward.

Tang Jia really wanted to find a way to break the siege.

At this moment, Gao Jianxiong's big brother rang loudly.

"Brother Gao, where are you? Have you finished your business? I just received a fax from Miss Sophia, and in three days, we will be attending the arbitration tribunal in The Hague, and you will immediately help me check all the work of going abroad and security again!"

"I ...... I'm at the Jin Jiang Hotel, I'll be back. ”

"Forget it, no need, I haven't eaten, I'll come and talk to you. ”
