Chapter 138: Abominable Uncle
Inside the hall.
Mother Ren Liping is trying her best to help greet guests from all walks of life, in addition to the relatives of the Cheng family, there are also relatives of the Pi family, and at the same time, there are colleagues and subordinates from the uncle's company.
Therefore, the tables in the entire rich hall were full, and there were more than 20 tables.
The eldest aunt Pi Jianhua is the second in the Pi family, with an eldest brother above and two younger brothers below.
The eldest aunt's father has passed away, but her eldest brother inherited his father's business and entered politics, serving as the deputy director of the Construction Bureau in Yunhua County, below Nongyang City.
It is precisely because the mother's family is rich and powerful that in the uncle's family, the aunt is in charge, and the uncle is eaten to death, and everything must obey his wife's orders.
At this moment, the three brothers of the Pi family happened to gather at a table to chat and laugh, and they couldn't see that their mother Ren Liping was very busy, and they didn't mean to help at all anyway.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Bo was a little angry, and he wanted to pull his mother away.
"Son, come here!"
As soon as she saw Cheng Bo coming, Ren Liping hurriedly beckoned to him, then stuffed a bag of candy to him and asked him to distribute it at each table, while she picked up another bag of melon seeds and fried peanuts to distribute at each table.
It's not time to serve the meal yet, so the hotel won't send a waiter for the time being.
Cheng Bo quickly distributed the candy in the bag to each table, during which he would greet the relatives of the Cheng family politely, but he didn't bother to pay attention to the relatives of the Pi family.
Anyway, this family is a little pretentious, and he doesn't take their family in his eyes, so he naturally won't go to hot face and stick to their cold ass.
After distributing the candy, he saw that his mother had not finished distributing melon seeds and fried peanuts, so he went to help again.
At this moment, the uncle walked in with a man and a woman.
The man is about forty years old, thin and thin, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but he is very imposing, very leader-like, Uncle Cheng Hang speaks and acts faintly with flattery, and should be the leader of his company.
The other woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a somewhat coquettish temperament, wearing a dark blue OL suit, her appearance can only be called beautiful, and Uncle Cheng Hang is also more polite to her, she should be a secretary and a character.
Sure enough, as Cheng Bo expected, the uncle took them to an empty table and sat down, and then said enthusiastically: "Mr. Liu, Secretary Su, please take a seat!"
Immediately saw Cheng Bo's mother and son next to him, and hurriedly instructed Ren Liping to say: "Liping, hurry up and serve tea to Mr. Liu and Secretary Su!"
The tone of course, I don't know, I still think that Ren Liping is his family's servant.
Displeasure flashed in Cheng Bo's eyes, but Ren Liping smiled disapprovingly, answered, and went to make tea.
Soon.
Dad walked in with five people.
Cheng Bo knows that it is in the same vein as his grandfather.
Cheng Bo's grandfather Cheng Puzhan is the second, there is a big brother named Cheng Yi on it, but the five people that my father picked up today are Cheng Yuanlong, the eldest son of the grandfather Cheng Yi, and his wife, as well as the grandfather's second daughter Cheng Xuehuaer and his husband, and the remaining one is the grandfather's third daughter Cheng Xiaohong.
said that Cheng Bo also wanted to call Cheng Yuanlong an uncle.
Mother Ren Liping motioned for Cheng Bo to follow and greet her.
"Cheng Bo, call someone quickly!"
Dad Cheng Xiang said to him.
Cheng Bo hurriedly greeted them with a smile: "Hello uncle and aunt, second aunt and second uncle, third aunt!"
Pi Jianhua, a relative of the Cheng family, has never been very treated, so she was outside the hall and did not come in with her.
Cheng Hang also walked over, greeted him with a smile and handed over cigarettes.
After beckoning them to sit down, Uncle Cheng Hang said to his father again: "You came back just in time, go and inform the hotel and tell them that in ten minutes, they can serve the food!"
Then he said to Ren Liping: "Liping, you can also take Xiaobo to find a seat and sit down!"
"Got it, big brother!"
Ren Liping nodded, and then pulled Cheng Bo to sit down at the table of another uncle, Cheng Yuanlong, and in the next few minutes, other guests arrived one after another, and Cheng Xiang also came back and sat down beside Ren Liping.
Then, the waiter began to enter, and the table was simply cleaned up and the food was served.
Cheng Hang picked up the microphone and walked to the front, said a polite word of thanks, and focused on his brother-in-law Pi Jianfu, deputy director of the Yunhua County Construction Bureau, as well as Mr. Liu and Secretary Su, and then Pi Jianfu took the stage to speak on behalf of the relatives of the Pi family.
Listening to Pi Jianfu's official tone, Cheng Bo pouted secretly, it was not that he hated officials, but that he played an official tone on such an occasion, obviously just to show off.
Subsequently, Cheng Hang asked Mr. Liu to go up and speak.
Mr. Liu took the microphone and said, "First of all, on behalf of Jinwang Real Estate Company, I wish Manager Cheng a happy birthday. ”
Hearing the "Jinwang Real Estate Company" in Mr. Liu's mouth, Cheng Bo couldn't help but show a strange look, because he heard Wei Tiancheng say that his real estate company is called Jinwang Real Estate.
Could it be that the uncle can't work in Wei Tiancheng's company?
Mr. Liu continued: "Although Mr. Wei couldn't come in person, he brought a birthday wish to Manager Zhou!"
While speaking, Mr. Liu took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Hang.
After Cheng Hang took it, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, thank you, Mr. Liu!"
Hearing Mr. Liu mention Mr. Wei, Cheng Bo was already sure that Jinwang Real Estate was Wei Tiancheng's company.
The next speeches of Mr. Liu were all polite words.
At the end of the speech, Uncle Cheng Hang directly announced the opening of the meeting, but for some reason, Cheng Ran did not come today.
As today's birthday star, Cheng Hang simply ate two bites of food after taking a seat, and then took a wine bottle in one hand and a wine glass in the other to start a table of toasts.
Half an hour later.
It was Cheng Bo's turn to be at their table.
At this moment, Cheng Hang was already a little drunk, he first drank with everyone, and then looked at Cheng Bo and said, "Xiaobo, how are you studying recently?"
"It's okay!" Cheng Bo said lightly.
"This kid won the first place in the city in the unified examination last time!" Cheng Xiang said proudly.
Everyone present was shocked and praised Cheng Bolai.
For some reason, seeing that everyone was praising Cheng Bo, Cheng Hang felt a little uncomfortable, especially when he thought of his uncompetitive son, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
Cheng Xiaohong said with envy: "Cheng Bo can win the first place in the city's unified examination, so won't he choose the key universities in the country in the future, and he will definitely have a chance to come out of college in the future." ”
Because her daughter is also in her third year of high school, she couldn't rank in the city at all in the last unified examination.
Hearing Cheng Xiaohong say this, Cheng Hang finally couldn't help it, and sneered: "The current social situation is different, college students are no longer valuable, take our company as an example, the new college student interns are all people with low eyes, which time I didn't train like a dog, so it's better to come out and work early if you don't study in college!"
Hearing Cheng Hang's words, his parents were a little unhappy in their hearts, and his words were obviously belittling Cheng Bo.
Cheng Hang paused, and seemed to be a little unsatisfied, so he pointed at Cheng Xiang and Ren Liping and said: "Let's take you as an example, they are all college graduates, how are you doing now, being a small clerk with no power and no power in the company, it will only cost a few thousand yuan a month, you look at me, I didn't graduate from high school, I still became a manager!
Hearing Cheng Hang's words, everyone present looked a little embarrassed, especially Cheng Xiang and his wife's faces were faintly dark.
Cheng Bo was too lazy to accommodate him anymore, and said coldly: "It's not terrible to have no culture, but some people don't know what to say about it if they regard no culture as a capital to show off!"
In recent years, some people have desperately advocated the uselessness of reading, it is undeniable that some bosses and CEOs do not have any culture, but it does not mean that reading is useless, Cheng Bo, who was reborn from the future, knows that the more in the future, the higher the requirements for knowledge in all walks of life.
Therefore, there is no shame in not having culture, as long as you have a heart to work hard to study.
"What did you say?"
Cheng Hang stared at Cheng Bo and shouted, his tone was very unkind, and his face was also flushed, he didn't expect Cheng Bo to dare to refute him.
Ren Liping secretly applauded her son, and deliberately glared: "Son, what are you telling the truth, and you don't apologize to your uncle!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiang looked at his wife a little helplessly, and Uncle Cheng Hang's face became more and more ugly.
