Chapter 3 Relatives 2
In the center of the lobby, Qi Zimo's aunt, Qi Zixin's mother, asked in a low voice next to Qi Erye, and his uncle was peeling apples with a knife, dividing them into small halves, and handing them to his grandfather and aunt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qi Zimo gently let go of the little sister's hand, walked up to the elders, took the fruit knife, and greeted obediently: "Uncle, aunt." β
"The last time I saw you, I was still a teenager sweating on the basketball court, and in a blink of an eye, I have grown into a mature man with a good demeanor! I wouldn't even dare to recognize this if I met you on the street!" The small eye frame on the bridge of my uncle's nose swayed up and down with a smile from the corner of his eye.
The aunt raised her arm and patted her husband lightly, and said, "Zimo is twenty-five or six, and he has already matured, and some of his peers' children have come out to make soy sauce."
After speaking, my aunt stood up and touched Qi Zimodong, looked west, and couldn't help but admire: "Tsk, it is worthy of the faΓ§ade of our Qi family, this face is too attractive to bees and butterflies." Dad, isn't Zisheng cooperating with France in cosmetics recently? Directly let Zimo endorse it, then the sales will definitely not run. β
Everyone laughed, and Zimo replied happily: "Aunt, don't be so exaggerated, you didn't say that when you saw me last month, didn't you still dislike me for not being in the Western elegant hall." β
"Aren't you still afraid to say this! Aren't I anxious for you? I haven't been able to trick a little girl back for 7 years, and every time I ask you what's going on, you say you know, you know. Qi Zimo obviously touched his aunt's taboo, and recited the mantra mercilessly.
"Gu, if you can be so close to the people when you speak at a meeting in the Great Hall of the People, I promise to look at you immediately. β
"Dad, we're back!" the arrival of two men and a woman at the entrance of the lobby interrupted the chatter of the nephew and aunt.
The man in the lead has a dignified body, a broad chest, and a cold black trench coat that brings a hint of chill to the room. Qi Zimo walked up to the three of them, took the gift, and then called out respectfully: "Second uncle, second aunt." β
Qi An, who was made the second uncle by Qi Zimo, patted Qi Zimo on the shoulder with satisfaction, he couldn't ask for anything from the descendants left by the late eldest brother, although the world that was broken out by self-reliance was not as good as the ancestral industry, but the unconcealable demeanor had been revealed, and it would definitely be nine days in time. Compared with her husband, the steady and dignified woman beside the second uncle did more than she thought, took Qi Zimo's outstretched hand affectionately, and said softly: "How are you doing in the United States, how do you feel very thin?
For this woman who has cared for her since she was a child, Zimo has always been respectful, and answered patiently one by one: "I live well, I am very healthy, and my work is not hard." I just miss you. β
When the woman heard this, she immediately smiled.
Qi Zimo looked past the woman to the young man at the end, and the orange coat set off his cold face even colder.
"Big brother!" Qi Zi was stunned for a moment and shouted.
At this time, everyone who was paying attention to the door breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Zisheng, who was called his brother, was a little stunned for a while, and replied in a panic: "Eh, how is it in the United States?
Second Master Qi was also amused by Qi Zisheng's embarrassed and helpless appearance, and opened his mouth with a big grin to stop the situation: "Okay, Zimo expressed his attitude, you just know it, let's start eating when everyone arrives." β
At the dinner table, Qi Zimo told his relatives about his plans after returning to China again.
After hearing this, everyone also expressed their understanding after a short period of surprise, only the second aunt complained: just come back and run out. Zimo flatteringly sandwiched a piece of rice cake and sent it to the woman's bowl, comforting him: "Korea is not far away, I will come back to see you often." β
The woman reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"When you are alone in Korea, you should pay more attention to yourself. Red tape and etiquette are taken very seriously there, no more than American liberalism. Call your second aunt more about life, and give your family a word about other things, don't be wronged outside. We don't bully people, but we can't be bullied either. The second uncle advised.
"Well, there are a lot of Korean partners, and there are still some relationships, so you need to call me. Qi Zisheng also relaxed his mind and opened his mouth to agree.
"I will. β
Qi Zimo agreed one by one, paused and said: "Big brother, the real estate piece can be withdrawn, and the policy and market conditions will not have a good income effect in the short term." Keep some of the prime real estate and cash out the rest as soon as possible. It's okay to give more profits to the dealers below. Then let the people in the marketing department pay more attention to the domestic Internet and communication industry, the group has been doing business for too many years, although the foundation is solid but the steps are getting heavier and heavier, it is time to reduce the burden. Extract some funds to open up some non-real industries with small burdens and large returns, so that the group's genetic diversification can meet the multiple challenges now. Even if it is not successful, there will not be much to lose. If there is a good project evaluation report for me to see, I will give some reference advice. β
"Well, I'll tell you to go down and eat first. Qi Zisheng had no objection and quickly agreed.
The reunion dinner of the Qi family in the imperial capital was quiet and peaceful, and it was happy.
"Aunt, please do something. β
After the meal, Qi Zixin, who had been squeezing her eyebrows and eyebrows at the dinner table, almost caused facial muscle cramps, urged her second brother to find her mother to solve the "lifelong event" as soon as she finished eating. β
"This dead girl, I knew she wouldn't change. Don't you know how messy that circle is?"
As soon as my aunt heard this, she immediately blew her hair, rolled up her sleeves and was about to go out to settle accounts with the little girl.
Qi Zimo hurriedly persuaded: "Aunt, the chaos is because of desire. If you don't have the idea of taking shortcuts inappropriately, there will generally be no problems. Our family is not short of money, and we also have the ability to protect our little sister. Reputation is a bit attractive to Zixin, and I believe that Xiaomei will pursue what she wants in a down-to-earth manner. Do you believe that the righteous and awe-inspiring girl will do some irrational behavior for the sake of being a false name like the actress? The little sister has grown up, and you, as a mother, also hope that she can be happy, and the little sister is not a lady who will obey your arrangement, barely do a stable but boring job every day, and then honestly obey the arrangement to get married and have children. Do you think her habit of wanting to jump out of Wuzhi Mountain at any time can last for a few days? It's hard, but as long as she's happy. Besides, it is not difficult for us to solve those hidden dangers. I will contact some domestic economic companies to help pave the way, and I will be entrusted with the task of protecting and supervising her. β
"Second brother, woo woo~~" Qi Zixin, who was eavesdropping at the door, rushed in with red eyes and hugged Qi Zimo's waist, and her constantly shaking shoulders showed that her mood fluctuated very much.
The aunt angrily pulled the little girl and grabbed it twice, and threatened: "Since your second brother has said so, I won't be a bad guy anymore." However, we have three chapters of the law, if you make a mistake of principle, then you don't want to enter the entertainment industry again, your grandfather doesn't need to hear it? . β
The little girl pouted and muttered, "Oh, I know." β
Qi Zimo rubbed his hands vigorously on the little girl's head, and his smooth straight hair was forked everywhere at once, like a wilted radish leaf.
"Second brother. Qi Zixin immediately turned around and grinned at the culprit.
"Okay, don't make a fuss! Zimo, aren't you going to South Korea in a few days? Just come with me. I would like to take a delegation from the Ministry of Culture to the ROK for inspection and exchange. You might even have to help me then!"
Qi Zimo looked at his aunt, who was obviously ill-intentioned, in surprise and asked, "What can I do to the official delegation?"
The aunt drove Qi Zixin, who was still naughty and frolicking, to the door, turned around and said: "Hallyu! The South Korean government highly supports cultural development, and South Korea's own entertainment market is small, and the pressure of competition is great, so the only way to expand is to expand outward. Korean culture is heavily influenced by Confucian traditions, and it is extremely difficult to spread to the West, although they have been trying. Then their choice is only in East Asian countries such as Japan and China, which are also deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and the people are easy to accept each other's culture. Since the beginning of the 13th year, the territorial issue has led to very tense relations between South Korea and Japan, and economic activities between the two sides have been very scarce. "Anti-Korean sentiment" is very high in Japan, and for the first time in recent years, there is not a single Korean artist named in the list of the 64th Red and White Song Festival announced by the NHK at the end of last year. Therefore, the mainland market is the future of Korean cultural export, and the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Korea has also tried to actively communicate with us, hoping that we will relax the policy to enhance cultural exchanges between the two sides. β
"Huh. β
It was quite interesting to listen to the official speech, and Qi Zimo couldn't help but chuckle.
"What does it say?"
Official communication, policy documents are everything.
"Of course I didn't want to at first. After all, the input is not proportional to the output, who wants to be the big one. But no, to obey the will of the people, the audience loves the government and can't really stand on the opposite side. It is no wonder that young people like foreign monks, and after all, they really know how to "recite scriptures." By the way, it also adds a little pressure to these domestic interpreters, so that they can recognize the form, see more good things from others, and learn more. So as not to be paralyzed by money, you will know how to make some saliva movies and make money. Every year, dozens of foreign cultural groups come to visit and want to watch our domestic blockbusters, so I have to use old movies from the 90s to prop up the faΓ§ade. Every time the secretary looked at me with an embarrassed face and asked, Director Qi, will this movie be a little old, those who visited the delegation should have seen it. You think I want to, but what new movie do you tell me to show to others? What kind of hero is it or a billion-dollar blockbuster like Thai embarrassment?"
Qi Zimo reached out and gently patted his aunt's back, and the corners of his mouth secretly curled.
My aunt let out a sullen breath and continued, "Hey, forget it. Speaking of this, it's gas. Anyway, I hope that Hallyu can play a wake-up role and spur the development of the domestic cultural industry. Second, there are also some political factors involved. The United States has imposed a tight blockade of China's coastline, and its neighbors along the Pacific coast are not very friendly to China. Even if the bones thrown out are not enough to make them change the court, but the cannibal mouth is short, and it will not beat us back at the critical moment. After all, their food and clothing parents are us, not the vampire who will stay in their house.
Qi Zimo digested the information he got and asked, "I probably understand, but what role do I need to play?"
The aunt laughed unkindly and took her nephew's arm.
"When you go to South Korea, you basically talk to those officials and brokerage companies, and then visit their companies. I'm barely enough to deal with those officials every day, and I really don't have the energy to deal with other people, so the difficult task of visiting the brokerage company is left to you. You don't want my old face to be pointed at and scolded by the angry young people in South Korea, right?
"Oh, I'll think about it, aunt. Figuring out the ins and outs, Qi Zimo's interest was greatly reduced, and he avoided such boring official activities.
"Don't, think about anything. There are a lot of beautiful women in those artist economic companies, and there are all kinds of types. Lori, childish, mature, sexy, pure as you look at from afar. β
Auntie's expression is that you have made a lot of money.
"Then you let your uncle go, and I'll forget it. Qi Zimo refused his aunt's kindness and turned around to leave.
"If you really go out, I will send your photos to the women's federation of our unit, and ask them to introduce girls to you on a blind date." My aunt took out her phone and shook it in a bluff. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Qi Zimo was obviously frightened, this kind of thing his best aunt really came out, and the group of women in the aunt's unit are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the psychological shadow of adolescence has not disappeared until now.
βallrightγ I took it, but I don't know Korean. Qi Zimo thought about it for a while and agreed.
"I don't either, it's okay to have a translator and it's not about falling in love with someone, listening to what to do so clearly. You just don't let people see you're doing something perfunctory. Just speak English, use your American speech to conquer a country where English pronunciation is so bad that they can see that the most pleasant English pronunciation in the world is not only London. It's like... Well... Just like Martin Luther King, Jr.!ah, what's coming, ~ihaveadream. β
The nephew nodded, and Qi Yun, who is Qi Zimo's aunt, immediately smiled, and was a little fluttery. It can also be seen from here why Qi Zixin, who was born in a famous family, is not everyone's best girl.
Qi Zimo no longer disturbed his aunt's busy work, and walked out of the side hall quickly.
There was a faint roar behind him, "Stinky boy, let's talk about it." I'll book you a ticket at eight o'clock next Monday morning. β
"Hmm~" Returning to the hut again, Qi Zimo, who was stretched out and fell on the sky-blue sheets, hummed comfortably in his heart.
It's nice to be home!
On the other side, the three grandparents and grandchildren were drinking tea in the lobby, and the warm and magnetic voice of the anchor on the TV and the fragrance of tea surrounded the quiet atmosphere.
"Zisheng, you have a bit of a heavy heart, if Zimo wanted to fight with you for something, he wouldn't have left home to study so far away for seven years. His ambition is long gone, and your vision is too different from his. Be tolerant and you will have the possibility to grow. Qi Zimo's second uncle, Qi An, suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence in the room, and his tone was stern.
"Dad, I know. I'm just reluctant to work hard for so long. β
Qi Zisheng also knew that he was acting abnormally, and his own deeds in front of the two spirits were far from enough, and he honestly said that his fancy intestines seemed more sincere.
"That's not your achievement, it's the result of the Qi family. Qi An frowned and corrected strictly.
Although Qi Erye and Qi Zimo have no intention of questioning and begging, it is necessary to show that they do not have the intention of taking possession, which is a small matter and a big thing.
"I'll remember, Grandpa, Father. Qi Zisheng bowed to Second Master Qi and promised Qi An.
The second master of the Qi family, who closed his eyes and recuperated, did not react at all, as if he was asleep.
The father and son got up and advised the old man to rest well, and then left together.
After a long time, the old man opened his bright eyes, took the teacup and drank it all, and sighed: "Very good, very good!"
