Chapter 44: The Family Feast

"What, do you still want to study hard? You and I are only half a pound and eight taels. In the future, spend some money and go to a foreign university to be gilded. Jiang Tao said with bad intentions.

He is a typical gentleman, eating, drinking, gambling, smoking, and all kinds of drugs, and he has made a large circle of sons and daughters of various families outside, all of whom love to play.

In the end, the score of the college entrance examination was miserable, and he was directly sent to the UK by his father to study. But how can he stay and run back to China for half a year.

"Poof. As soon as Jiang Tao's words came out, many people chuckled. Everyone knows Jiang Linfeng's foundation very well, and they know that he is not very good at studying.

In such a big family, the assessment of children's ability in addition to grades, the most disadvantaged depends on how good your communication skills are.

If you don't have all three, it's a complete waste, and the family gives you money every year to spend all your time and drink, just don't get into trouble. Most of the rich young boys on the market are of this type.

The real elites of big families, such as Jiang Yuheng and Jiang Ziyao, have already planned the future path and have a broad future, how can they go out to have fun?

"Forget it, we're all brothers, just kidding, don't take it seriously. Jiang Yuheng said in a deep voice, and when Jiang Tao saw this, he had to shut his mouth stupidly.

"But Xiaofeng, what your second brother said is also right. At your age, learning is a top priority. In the future, if you have a diploma from a prestigious school, whether you enter a government unit or take over your parents' industry, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Unless, like me, you're a paranormal. Jiang Yuheng pointed out with a hint of domineering.

Jiang Linfeng took a sip of tea expressionlessly and ignored him.

Seeing Jiang Linfeng's disapproving appearance, Jiang Ziyao's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of contempt. In her opinion, this little kid is empty-eyed now, and sooner or later he will hit a wall in society.

"Big brother, what arrangements do we have for the night?" Jiang Tao said impatiently. "My buddy has recently opened a house, why don't we go warm up for him?"

"Don't, second brother, your group of fox dog friends are either opening a bar or KTV, what's the point?" the girl next to her scoffed.

"Then where do you say you're going?" Jiang Tao spread his hands.

"Why don't we go to that place?" said another teenager, his eyes lit up.

When the little cousin was about to continue, many elders came down from the upper floor, and the feast was about to begin.

The old man likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, so even if Jiang Linfeng's second uncle has booked a luxury box at the best Shangri-La Hotel in Jinling, he can only push it.

The banquet is set up in his living room, but the chefs invited are all chefs from five-star hotels.

First of all, the exquisite cold cuts, fish roe salad, squid eggs, pancai rice cakes, republican cold rolls, and topped vegetable tofu.

Although they are all eaten in ordinary hotels, through the craftsmanship of the master, not only the appearance is exquisite, but the taste is also full of praise.

After three rounds of drinking, the old man took the lead in stopping the chopsticks, and everyone stopped talking, knowing that the old man was going to lecture.

"This time, before returning to the ancestral home, we will gather and have a small banquet to summarize the gains and losses of this year. Jiang Haoran said in a deep voice.

The Jiang family is a big family, not only Jiang Haoran, he also has several brothers and cousins, all of whom are scattered throughout Jinling and even Jiangnan cities.

There is even an uncle Jiang Linfeng in his hometown, who is over ninety years old. Every year during the Chinese New Year, everyone gathers at the Jiang family's old house to exchange contacts and discuss matters for the coming year. It is also a time for the juniors to compare with each other.

Although the Jiang family has not produced high-ranking officials and huge wealth for decades, it is precisely by virtue of this cohesion that Jinling stands.

"Let's start with the boss. Grandpa said slowly. "Changfeng has done a good job this year, Mayor Ji mentioned you to me not long ago, and praised you, and after a few years of precipitation, I will have the opportunity to mention it again. ”

Jiang Linfeng's uncle, Jiang Changfeng, is the Jiang family's current highest-ranking official and the secretary general of the Jinling Municipal Government. Most of the Jiang family's current momentum is supported by him. After receiving the praise of the old man, Jiang Changfeng's face was calm, but his wife was already smiling.

Everyone looked at the uncle's family with jealousy and envy, and they could be praised by the mayor, and it seemed that Jiang Changfeng's career was going to rise to another level.

"The eldest brother has always been calm, step by step, it's time to rise. Jiang Linfeng, the second uncle, and Jiang Shangping admired.

"Yes, with the current path of the eldest brother, coupled with the relationship of the Yuheng Alien Association, our Jiang family has a great future in the future. The sister-in-law looked envious.

The Jiang Group is not unique to Jiang Linfeng's grandfather, but a joint venture of the entire Jiangjia Village, although Jiang Haoran's branch occupies a dominant position, but the other veins have always been quite complaining about Jiang Shangping's ability, so Jiang Haoran is not easy to maintain too much.

But if Jiang Changfeng can be promoted to the position of vice mayor, then all the opposition voices can be suppressed.

"Shang Ping, I don't blame others for saying that you did it yourself. Jiang Haoran reprimanded mercilessly. "The group is in your hands, how much has it risen in the past ten years? At that time, it was established in the same batch as you, and now it is listed and expanded, and only our Jiang Group is still shrinking in Jinling, how can they not be resentful?"

Jiang Linfeng's second uncle was trained by him to sweat profusely, he was already fat and wide-faced, and his face was oily, but now he was even more sweaty.

"Okay, okay, the second child is not wrong, so many shareholders of the company are holding him back, and it is not easy for him to integrate them together. Grandma Jiang Linfeng stood up and played a round for her beloved second son.

"Forget it, you're doing it yourself. Jiang Haoran could only wave his hand weakly. His wife is the most pampered to his second son, otherwise the Jiang Group would not have fallen into the hands of Jiang Shangping, who was a middle-of-the-middle.

"Zhanpeng, how are you doing now?" When facing Jiang Zhanpeng, the old man's attitude eased significantly. "Report Dad, I am mainly responsible for assisting County Magistrate Hu this year...."Jiang Zhanpeng sat down with a serious report, explaining his work this year in detail, and the old man was engrossed in it, and he couldn't help but nod his head.

When he was finished, he praised him and encouraged him to work harder. But the others were obviously blind, and the second aunt muttered in a low voice: "This deputy county magistrate's report looks like a vice governor." The old man didn't praise the boss so much, it was too partial. ”

Her voice was small, but it could be heard by several people on the left and right. Although Jiang Linfeng's face was expressionless, he was also unhappy in his heart.

A trace of anger flashed in Ye Xue's eyes, she has such a strong personality, how can she tolerate her husband being talked about by others. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice

"Although my father is a small official now, he is doing meritorious deeds in a down-to-earth manner and thinking about the people. Besides, the current position is also temporary, and it is not difficult to become a minister when he joins the Association of Strangers. Jiang Linfeng said this, and the whole hall was shocked.

"You know what you're talking about, your dad joined the Association of Strangers? Zhanpeng, when did you become a Stranger. The second uncle laughed.

"Adults talk, children don't interject. Uncle was the most majestic, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He has a calm personality, similar to an old man, and hates this kind of easy talk the most. The others also shook their heads and sneered.

"Third child, you should also take care of Lin Feng. Don't talk big when you have nothing to do, this is going out for others to hear, isn't it embarrassing the face of our Jiang family and the old man. Grandma Jiang Linfeng shook her head with a smile.

Jiang Zhanpeng's face remained unchanged, and he kept nodding yes. Although he knew that his son was an anomaly, he only thought that he was an excellent student. He didn't know how long it would take him to get to the minister, let alone Jiang Zhanpeng, who was an ordinary person.

Although Jiang Linfeng had instructed him to keep a low profile before he came, Jiang Zhanpeng couldn't take care of it so much at this time, and he was originally going to fight for the position of heir this year.

Jiang Zhanpeng thought to himself, since your kid has spoken wildly, then I won't hold back my father: "Second brother, although I am not a supernatural, Xiaofeng is." ”
