Chapter 293: Confrontation in the Dark
In fact, in the eyes of most people, there is nothing wrong with these two dialogues, the words are polite, and the tone is very soft.
But in fact, the two sides have completed three secret but fierce confrontations.
Since Yang Chen came in, the Qiao family has not spoken, although the expressions are very kind, but Yang Chen is a guest after all, which will produce a strong oppressive force.
This is the first round of the meeting.
Yang Chen behaved calmly, not surprised, and couldn't see any unnaturalness, this round, Yang Chen was a small victory.
Then Qiao Zixuan beckoned Yang Chen to sit down, and the two of them talked and laughed on the side, while the rest of the Qiao family still didn't say anything, looking at Yang Chen with all kinds of eyes, and continued to exert oppressive force.
This is the second round of the meeting.
And Yang Chen was even more generous. It seems that these people don't exist at all, and no one else is talking and laughing with Qiao Zixuan, and they win this round again.
Then, the best scene began to happen.
Just when the Qiao family was about to launch the third momentum oppression, Yang Chen suddenly raised his head, smiled generously and asked why the Qiao family kept looking at him like this.
No one expected this person to be at this time. He actually took the initiative to open up to them.
For a while, it messed up the Qiao family.
Qiao Wantong spoke in time and said a polite word, ready to stabilize the situation.
But Yang Chen didn't eat this at all, and directly grabbed the point that the Qiao family had been emphasizing that he should not treat himself as an outsider to fight back.
And the tone of the words is very polite and generous. I couldn't find the slightest fault, but it directly destroyed the Qiao family's overall plan to use momentum to suppress.
Yang Chen won three battles and three victories, and quietly let the initiative tilt towards his side.
"Uncle, aunt, Uncle Qiao, aunt, aunt........"
Just when this atmosphere was all solidified, Yang Chen suddenly stood up and said respectfully to a few people, "Zixuan and I are good friends, I am honored to be able to participate in her birthday banquet, and I am also honored to meet all the elders, because I came in a hurry and did not think about it thoroughly, so I came empty-handed, I hope you elders will not be surprised." ”
Yang Chen's words were very sincere, he was a person who accepted it when he saw it, after all, there was no deep hatred, and it was not good to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.
These few words made the atmosphere relaxed at once, but it made the Qiao family feel a little embarrassed.
"You're welcome, we're glad you came. ”
The one who spoke was Qiao Zixuan's second aunt, that is, Qiao Wantong's wife, named Song Xuemei, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, but she was well maintained, dressed exquisitely, and graceful and dignified.
She did not hold any position in the property of the Qiao family, and devoted herself to her husband and children at home, but she was Qiao Wantong's virtuous helper who kept the family in order.
Many people say that Qiao Wantong can be where he is today, and Song Xuemei, the virtuous wife behind him, has made great contributions.
Song Xuemei is a virtuous person, her gestures are amiable, and she smiled at Qiao Zixuan, "Zixuan, why don't you take your friends around, people come to our house, you have to let people see our family." ”
After finishing speaking, Song Xuemei smiled at Yang Chen again, "Xiao Yang, let Zixuan take you around first, we won't say polite words, the courtyard of the Qiao family was renovated by a top master, it's not bad, you're welcome, go around first, and I'll call you over when the banquet is held later." ”
Qiao Zixuan also smiled, "Brother Yang, come with me." I'll take you around first, you can't dislike it!"
Qiao Zixuan's words were not modest and polite, because she knew very well that the man in front of her, even if it was a little finger, was not comparable to the Qiao family, for fear that such a small door and courtyard would not be able to enter the other party's eyes.
"It's okay, when I came in just now, I thought this yard was good, and I wanted to go around for a long time. ”
Yang Chen got up and said with a smile, "Uncles and aunts, then I'll go out for a walk first, and you can talk slowly." ”
Then the two of them walked outside talking and laughing.
As soon as the two left, the smile that the Qiao family still had on their faces changed in an instant, and everyone had their own thoughts.
The three rounds of secret confrontation just now, everyone knew it in their hearts.
"What do you think. ”
Qiao Wanhai, the head of the Qiao family, took a sip of tea lightly and said slowly.
He is a taciturn man, he rarely talks on weekdays, and he acts very low-key, if you talk about the ability to fight from east to west, there are many people in the Qiao family who are better than him.
He is also the most mediocre of their generation.
But in the end, the choice of the head of the family fell to him, but for this. No one in the Qiao family had any complaints.
First, Qiao Wanhai served as the head of the Qiao family, which was the last order of Old Man Qiao, and no one dared to disobey it.
Second, everyone in the Qiao family knows very well that there are too many outstanding talents in the Qiao family. Each has its own ability, can make a quick decision, and there are not a few people who are brave enough to overtake others.
But Qiao Wanhai, who seems to be the most ordinary, has a trait that the Qiao family needs most.
That is: harmony.
He was a very amiable man, loyal and down-to-earth. With a stable personality, the Qiao family needs such a person to bring those outstanding talents together and make the Qiao family a steel plate, not a plate of loose sand.
From this point of view, the head of the Qiao family is really Qiao Wanhai.
When Old Man Qiao was alive. Compare Qiao Wanhai to Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period.
Liu Beiwu is inferior to his subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yun and other fierce generals, and Zhi was thrown hundreds of streets by Zhuge Liang, and he can only cry and run when he encounters something, and he looks like a wreck.
But it was precisely because of Liu Bei that these talents gathered around him. The formation of the Shu regime against Cao Wei and Sun Wu, the three-legged stand.
It is a person's greatest ability to unite the people around him and work for himself.
Qiao Wanhai is in the Qiao family, playing the role of Liu Bei, and the Qiao family is full of talents. A lot of people don't like each other.
But he is loyal to Qiao Wanhai, if there is no Qiao Wanhai as the central point, no matter how many talents the Qiao family has, sooner or later it will decline.
"This kid is good, polite and polite, and a sensible child. ”
Song Xuemei commented with a smile.
Qiao Wantong sighed softly. said: "This person's popularity is extraordinary, and there is no suspicion of pretentiousness at all, I can't figure out his details for the time being." ”
After listening to this, Qiao Wanhai nodded, and he also agreed with Qiao Wantong's evaluation.
"Ah Zhen, what about you?" Qiao Wanhai set his eyes on Qiao Zixuan's aunt again.
Qiao Zixuan's aunt's full name is Li Zhen. Although she is a woman, her status in the Qiao family is definitely not trivial, and even people like Qiao Wantong admire her very much.
From the outside, she is a very introverted and quiet woman, with a light breeze and calm gestures. It gives people a feeling of being a lady.
But those who know her know that she was not like this before, drag racing, drunkenness, and slashing people, that was commonplace.
When she was still seventeen years old, she recruited a group of rich second generations in the circle and established an organization called Tianfeng, with her as the eldest sister.
At that time, everyone thought that she was just trying to have fun, and they didn't take this Tianfeng Club seriously, anyway, these people had money at home, as long as they didn't make too much trouble, they would go.
However, something happened next. almost sucked the old man Qiao, who was still alive at the time, angry.
At that time, the Qiao family was not as big as it is now, at that time, the head of the Qiao family was still the old man Qiao, in a big project, the partner suddenly turned his face, which put the Qiao family in a dilemma, and the old man Qiao did not solve this matter many times.
And then suddenly one day. The person from the partner personally drew up the contract and visited the door, promised to continue sincere cooperation, and expressed repentance for the original treachery, and paid the balance to the Qiao family's account as soon as possible.
Old Man Qiao was puzzled at the time, why did this person suddenly change his sex?
However, the other party did call the final payment. It was real money, and there could be no more fraud, so this matter would be over, and Old Man Qiao re-signed the contract with them on the spot.
This piece of heart disease that the Qiao family couldn't overcome for a long time finally fell to the dust.
Only three days later, the truth was revealed. The moment Old Man Qiao learned the truth, he was so angry that he almost didn't catch his breath.
Immediately became a celebrity Li Zhen was arrested, tied to the old elm tree in the yard, and whipped him with a belt, if he hadn't been desperately stopped, Li Zhen said that he would have been killed on the spot.
It turned out that the initiator behind this incident turned out to be Li Zhen!
Li Zhen's sister, that is, Qiao Zixuan's biological mother, brought Li Zhen over after she got married, and Old Man Qiao has always treated Li Zhen as his own daughter.
Li Zhen was grateful for this kindness, so when she knew about the Qiao family, she kept thinking about how to help.
By chance, Li Zhen heard that the daughter of the partner was studying in a junior high school near their school.
She immediately had an idea to let the members of the Heavenly Phoenix Society. found an excuse to lure the girl out, and then tied her up directly, and took many photos.
Then she personally wrapped explosives around her body and went to the partner's house to negotiate alone.
At that time, the person who was the partner was also a famous person in the business world, and he saw that it was Li Zhen who came in. I didn't take it very seriously.
But when Li Zhen threw a stack of photos on the table, the man was dumbfounded.
The photo shows his daughter being tied up and her mouth covered with duct tape.
Li Zhen directly told the man that his daughter was now in Li Zhen's hands.
That person was so furious, how could he take a seventeen-year-old girl seriously, and called dozens of fierce bodyguards on the spot, surrounded Li Zhen, and scolded Li Zhen to kneel down immediately!
However, Li Zhen's face did not change, smiled coldly, and suddenly unbuttoned his coat, revealing a circle of explosives wrapped around his waist, holding the detonator in his hand, and letting the man make up his own mind.
