Chapter 151: The Great Reunion
"Carlyle, where has Mr. Simmons gone?" Xu Qing asked Carlyle.
"Went to the kitchen. Carlyle replied.
Xu Qing nodded thoughtfully, and did not follow to the kitchen, but continued to sit on the sofa with Sophia and watch TV.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Xu Mingzhang came out and asked Xu Qing to serve food.
Xu Qing and Sophia came to the kitchen and saw Simmons skillfully helping his grandfather make food.
Xu Qing brought plates of delicate dishes with attractive aromas to the large round table in the restaurant, which can seat nearly 20 people, which is rarely used in normal times.
After the dish was served, everyone sat down one by one, and Aunt Wu and several bodyguards also sat at the same table as Xu Qing.
This is Xu Qing's grandfather's request, usually you can no longer eat at the same table, but everyone must eat at the same table on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Because the Xu family is thin and immigrated to the United States, the habit of family reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve has become a large group of people reunited, and not the Xu family also eats together.
Before eating, the first red envelope was given, and the grandfather was the first to give out the red envelope, one for each person, followed by the father, and then Xu Qingfa.
Xu Qing's red envelope was 3,000 US dollars, and he wanted to send tens of thousands of US dollars in red envelopes, but the red envelopes could not be stuffed in, and the amount of red envelopes from his grandfather and father was about the same as Xu Qing's.
After handing out the red envelopes, start eating.
This is the first Spring Festival since Xu Qing's rebirth, there are no colorful fireworks outside the window, no deafening firecrackers, but there is a group of relatives and friends on the table.
In his previous life, Xu Qing was an orphan, and occasionally on Chinese New Year's Eve, there were friends who did not go home to accompany him for the New Year, and more often he ate alone.
It feels so good!
Everyone laughed and ate, chatted about various things, chatted and chatted, and talked about Xu Qing and Sophia.
"Ah Qing, you are 19 years old after the New Year, is it time to consider getting married?" asked Grandpa with a smile.
Xu Qing waved his hand again and again: "Grandpa, I'm still a freshman now, how can I get married?"
"What's wrong with freshman year! A lot of people in America have babies when they're in high school. Dad interjected.
It's not important to get married, it's important to have children, Xu Qing understood what grandpa and dad meant.
But how could he have a child now, he is still a child, and he still has a good life to enjoy.
"At least until I graduate. Xu Qing excused himself.
"I want to get married and have children as soon as I graduate, you know. Dad snorted.
"Okay, I got it. Xu Qing said weakly.
Xu Qing's conversation with his grandfather and father was in Chinese, and everyone except Sophia and a few bodyguards knew Chinese.
They couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xu Qing talking with his grandfather and father, especially Simmons, who laughed the most.
Xu Qing looked at Simmons, rolled his eyes, and asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, what is the relationship between Mr. Simmons and our Xu family?"
Xu Qing knew that it was a bit too rude to ask like this, but today was a good opportunity, Xu Qing couldn't help but ask.
Grandpa glanced at Simmons and said with a smile: "I thought you already knew about the relationship between Little Simmons and our Xu family, Little Simmons, you can say it." ”
Simmons smiled: "I am an orphan, the old man funded my tuition and living expenses, and the old man is my savior." ”
Xu Qing nodded and asked again, "You've been in San Francisco all these years, why haven't I seen you?"
"Let me answer. Dad interjected again: "You used to be a gentleman, you were often away from home, Simmons was busy with work, and I came to the apartment a few times, but you weren't there, so you haven't seen it." ”
Xu Qing was a little embarrassed and said, "I did be a bit of a bastard before." ”
"But you're great now!" Simmons exclaimed, "You're worth a billion dollars now!"
"Almost. Xu Qing said modestly.
"That's amazing! Last year, you were a gentleman, and now you are a billionaire, and your net worth is in the top 100 in the United States.
Laimer's performance has also increased by more than 20% because of your Harry Potter, come, I respect you. ”
Simmons is very familiar with Chinese eating customs and knows how to toast, Xu Qing quickly stood up, Simmons is now his elder.
Simmons's words opened the conversation box of other people, and grandpa first praised Xu Qing, and then warned Xu Qing not to be proud, followed by Dad, Mom.
In the end, what originally praised Xu Qing became a reprimand to Xu Qing, Xu Qing was also very helpless, he was only 19 years old, and he was a child in front of his elders.
Xu Qing changed the subject: "Grandpa, do you know Peter Shengji?"
"Peter Shengji?" Grandpa frowned and said, "I saw him once at a drinking party before, but I didn't know him, what's the matter?"
"I would like to ask him to be my management consultant. Xu Qing said.
"Management consultant?" Grandpa was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right, your company is getting bigger and bigger, and your shallow management experience can't keep up with the development of the company."
In fact, not to mention your little management experience, your father and I can't manage your company now. ”
"Hey, don't say that about me, I'm amazing. Xu Mingzhang was not happy.
Grandpa ignored his father and continued: "I really need to find a management consultant, but I heard that Peter Shengji has a strange temper, and it is difficult to ask him to be your management consultant. ”
"Does Grandpa have any good management consultant recommendations?" asked Xu Qing.
Grandpa thought for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your kid is developing too fast now, and his assets are several times more than the Xu family, you may not look down on those people that grandpa knows, by the way, did you participate in the Graham charity gala last time?"
Xu Qing nodded.
"Did you talk to Nelson, the owner of the Gramm? Grandpa asked.
"After a few words, he also gave me a business card. Xu Qing said.
"It seems that Nelson admires you very much!" Grandpa said happily: "You have to keep his business card, he is very energetic in the United States, and I have the opportunity to meet him more."
The last time I saw Peter Shengji was at a reception organized by Nelson, and he must have known Peter Shengji. ”
Grandpa paused at this point, and then said: "After the Spring Festival, you go to Nelson and ask him to help introduce Peter Shengji, if Nelson doesn't agree, you tell me." ”
"Okay. ”
Xu Qing understood what his grandfather meant, and wanted Xu Qing to contact Nelson alone first, to see how much Xu Qing had in Nelson's heart.
But Xu Qing was curious, how big is Nielsen energy, and he would let his grandfather use this method.
At half past seven o'clock, after everyone finished eating, Grandpa, Simmons, Chen Haiming, and Wang Peng were playing mahjong, and grandma and parents were chatting.
And Xu Qing and Sophia are washing dishes, which is a tradition of the Xu family, and the children have to wash the dishes on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Originally, Sophia didn't have to wash the dishes, but Sophia insisted on washing, Xu Qing was very moved and wanted to refuse Sophia.
Because he was afraid that Sophia would break the bowl, he had seen Sophia's clumsy appearance when washing the dishes before, and broke several bowls.
