24. Comparison of a family
"Who can he know, he guards a bookstore all day, and he knows the person who makes beef soup next to him. Song Fengxue hurriedly said: "I still need Boyi's help in this matter, if you need anything, just mention it to your cousin." ”
The third uncle, who was sitting on the side, who was fat and more like a man, spoke up at this time: "Feng Xue, don't force Boyi in this matter, the family, if you can help him, you will definitely help, if you can't help, then there is no way." Didn't Bo Yi say just now, he couldn't sign the contract, that was Xiao Yun's company's problem. If there is a problem, then you must first find the cause from yourself. Xiao Yun, do you make sense of what you said about the third uncle?"
Outside the words, there is a clear sense of superiority.
In the past, Song Fengxue opened a clinic, and Ji Zeming was a university professor, so it can be said that his days are relatively prominent among many relatives.
The third uncle's family are all ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises, and they can barely be called a well-off family.
Chinese people originally like to compare with each other, and two strangers are still fighting when they meet, not to mention familiar relatives?
The third uncle and his family have always felt that Song Fengxue and their family have fallen behind financially, especially Ji Qingyun, who has good academic performance and became the deputy director of the company at a young age, which makes them breathe a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until Song Boyi graduated and applied for a job as a lawyer in the legal department of Hongye Group that he really raised his eyebrows.
Especially now looking at Song Fengxue, who was domineering in the past, begging his son for help, the third uncle and his family couldn't say how happy they were.
Didn't you always act as the boss in the family gathering, and look at everyone as if you were looking at your subordinates? Why are you begging us the other way around?
Ji Qingyun clenched her palms, took a deep breath, and said, "It makes sense." ”
In fact, it makes sense to fart, if it were a different occasion, a different time, she would have already carried her bag and left.
Originally, Ji Qingyun didn't plan to ask Song Boyi for help, but Song Fengxue knew that Song Boyi had joined Hongye Group as a lawyer, so he arranged this dinner.
Ji Qingyun was able to stay until now, purely because she didn't want her mother's hard work to be in vain.
But the "nouveau riche" mentality of the third uncle's family really made her a little unbearable.
"That's right! Seek truth from facts, and correct mistakes in order to make progress. The third uncle was happy, looked at Zhou Rui again, and said, "About this, I have to talk about Zhou Rui." Look at your cousin, although our family used to live a normal life, he was very competitive. I have always had good grades in school, and after graduation, I applied for a large company like Hongye Group. With such a resume, you will be a proper barrister in the future! You are older than him, but you still guard a bookstore and don't want to make progress, how can this give Xiao Yun a happy life. In these days, academic qualifications are very important. Anyway, your bookstore doesn't have much business, so you read more books on weekdays, and if you do well in the exam, maybe you can work in a small company, which is better than guarding a broken bookstore. ”
The third aunt swallowed melon seeds and said, "You don't embarrass Zhou Rui, he graduated from junior high school and didn't even go to high school, how can he do well in the exam by self-study." If you want me to see it, it's down-to-earth, anyway, Xiao Yun is okay now. Although the company is not as big as Hongye Group, at least it is not bad in Qingzhou. ”
Listening to these two people singing double reeds, Ji Qingyun's hands grasped more tightly.
She couldn't hear that the third uncle and the third aunt were going to vent all the grievances that had been suppressed before.
That ostentatious and smug demeanor made Ji Qingyun very angry.
Even Ji Zeming, who has always had a generous personality, has a bad face. Although the Ji family is doing well, they haven't treated any relatives badly. I usually help when I can, and I'm quite polite to anyone.
Why is this the case when you turn around and ask someone for help?
But for the sake of his daughter's career, he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart.
Song Fengxue is a straight temper, if the third uncle only takes the company's big novels, he will listen to it. can listen to the other party's mouthful of Zhou Rui, Song Fengxue is even more angry.
If Zhou Rui can be a little promising, where does he need to be talked about like this by the third uncle?
In Song Fengxue's opinion, his family is all angry, but this son-in-law is like a puddle of mud!
She slapped directly on the table and started a fire at Zhou Rui: "I heard what your third uncle said, you have to have a degree or not, you have to have no ability, you know all day long that you are waiting to die, are you still like a man! Xiao Yun married you, she was really blind!"
Startled by Song Fengxue's sudden anger, the third uncle hurriedly changed his tone and said, "Oh, Zhou Rui is still young, and the days will be long in the future, maybe one day there will be a chance." ”
"If he can make a difference, then I will be able to go to heaven!" Song Fengxue said angrily.
However, she was so angry that the third uncle's family couldn't talk about it anymore. Ji Zeming hurriedly called the waiter and asked why the food hadn't come up yet.
After a while, the waiter said: "I'm really sorry, because there is a table of more important guests, and I ordered a VIP package, and I need to step up the production, so the kitchen is a little slower, please wait a while." The manager said, when the bill will be checked, I will give you a 95% discount. ”
The third uncle was not happy when he heard it, and he was called Hanako at a ninety-fifty discount!
"Why can the VIP package serve them first, aren't we eating vegetables?" said the third uncle very dissatisfied.
The waiter had to patiently explain: "The VIP system of our Tengwang Pavilion is like this, the higher the level, the better and faster the service you enjoy, please understand." ”
"Isn't this snobbery! It's too bullying!" The third aunt immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, don't eat at this house, and can't eat anywhere!"
Song Fengxue vomited blood even more angrily, it was enough to listen to that family show off, but now what kind of VIP is he doing.
She yelled at the waiter in annoyance: "I don't care if you are VIP or not, call your boss right away!
Song Boyi pushed away the chair and walked over, took out a business card and shook it in front of the waiter, and said coldly: "I am a lawyer from the legal department of Hongye Group, and you treat consumers like this, which is a violation of the regulations on the management of the catering industry." Call your boss to apologize immediately, or shut you down right away, believe it or not. ”
The waiter was stunned, the lawyer of Hongye Group?
She was a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "Please wait, I'll go and talk to the manager." ”
Looking at the back of the waiter running away quickly, Song Boyi showed a proud and proud look, turned around and said, "Don't worry, they dare to be unfair to us, and we will treat them immediately!"
The third uncle suddenly raised his eyebrows and said to Song Fengxue: "Don't worry, with Boyi, they will definitely have to apologize in minutes." Who dares to mess with a lawyer if he is working in a restaurant now!"
Zhou Rui watched from the side, and couldn't help but persuade: "Actually, it's just a small thing, there's no need to make it too big, otherwise let's eat it in another place." ”
"You are such a wretch, you are ridiculed every day! While staying, learn from others, look at your useless appearance!" Song Fengxue said angrily.
Zhou Rui wanted to say something, but was pulled aside by Ji Qingyun and said in a low voice: "Don't you speak, don't you see that your mother is angry." ”
Of course, Zhou Rui can see it, he just doesn't think that a little thing has to make a big noise and affect the mood of eating.
Since Ji Qingyun spoke, he didn't bother to say anything more. I just thought of what happened just now, so I asked, "Your company signed a contract that didn't go well?"
"Well, Hongye Group seems to be in contact with other companies, and the director of the department doesn't even let us meet in person, which is very passive. Ji Qingyun's face was sad, this signing is related to her future development, which can be said to be quite important. If it is done, it is equivalent to adding a heavy stroke to the resume, and if it can't be done, the performance appraisal in the second half of the year is likely to be pulled down.
"Can Boyi help?" Zhou Rui asked again.
"Maybe, I don't know. Ji Qingyun shook his head.
Song Boyi has just graduated and applied for a trainee lawyer in the legal department of Hongye Group, and it is difficult to say whether he can be the director of other departments.
You must know that in a large company like Hongye Group, the department director is almost the same as Ji Qingyun's company president.
But she has no other acquaintances in Hongye Group, so she can only hope that Song Boyi will thread the needle.
Zhou Rui hesitated, then suddenly plucked up his courage and said, "If it really doesn't work, maybe I can find a way." I know someone from Hongye Group, maybe he can help. ”
"Do you know someone from Hongye Group?" Ji Qingyun was a little surprised, Zhou Rui stayed in the bookstore all day, how could she know the person over there? Soon she thought that maybe someone from Hongye Group went to the bookstore to buy books.
Shaking his head, Ji Qingyun said, "Forget it." ”
In her opinion, the most Zhou Rui can know is an ordinary employee. Besides, if you go to a bookstore to buy a book, can you be considered acquainted? Even if you do find it, people may not be willing to help you.
Since he met Zhou Rui, Ji Qingyun has never seen how to write the words "help others" in him, so naturally he will not give hope.
"But he ......"
When Zhou Rui was about to speak again, several people had already walked at the door. One of them asked, "Which lawyer is Hongye Group?"
Song Boyi puffed up his chest and walked out proudly: "I am!"
Zhou Rui turned his head to look and saw several men in straight suits standing at the door, all of whom were very extraordinary.
Song Boyi was proudly shouting to others: "Who of you is the boss, this kind of unfair treatment of consumers is expressly prohibited by the state." You have to apologize to us today, or else you will be sued right away!"
Standing at the front, the tall man smiled, turned to the other person and said, "Brother Liu, these young people under your command are quite energetic." ”
"The young man is a little angry, don't mind Mr. Xia. The man behind him walked out and came to Song Boyi, frowned slightly, and asked, "You are the company's lawyer, when did you join the company?"
When he saw this man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Song Boyi was stunned, and then suddenly his face turned pale and his forehead was sweating.
He recognized it at a glance, this was the chief barrister of the company's legal department, Liu Jinghui!
