Chapter 18
"Oh~~" Everyone knew in their hearts, no wonder he looked good, but unfortunately he was just a host, there were not many useful opportunities, no one would get married all day long, and no one's company would need to hold large-scale activities all day long, well, this person is useless.
Only grandma still asked with concern: "As a host, are you busy with work?"
"Alas, it's just not busy, only a few jobs a month. Tang Jiahong turned his head and glanced at Lin Shuyan.
When the grandmother heard that the workload was so small, she was really worried about her granddaughter's future living security: "There are only a few jobs, is the money earned enough for expenses?"
"It's enough, although there is little work, but each time it is a big event of five or six thousand people, so people give more money. ”
Grandma nodded: "You must work hard." ”
Tang Jiahong smiled: "Don't worry, grandma, he works very hard, and when his regular activities are almost over, he will take the initiative to add another half an hour." ”
"Can the host increase his own time?" the second uncle was a little surprised.
"Yes, the audience below doesn't object anyway. Tang Jiahong smiled, which company's employees dared to drag down the happy boss who was talking on the stage.
The third aunt looked at the coat Lin Shuyan was wearing, although she couldn't see what brand it was, but it was obvious that whether it was the material or the cut, this suit was definitely not the kind of bargain on the stall of the "tearful sale".
"This dress is so good, it's expensive, isn't it?" the third aunt asked.
Tang Jiahong shook his head: "It's not expensive, it's only two hundred yuan, but that store has now closed down, and it is said that it was a loss of 350 million, and he ran away with his sister-in-law, so the clothes that were originally priced at 20,000 yuan were sold for two hundred, so he picked up a bargain." ”
Relatives knew that she was bragging, giggling and gossiping, and they also exposed the topic.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Lin Shuyan tilted his head slightly and told her with his eyes: "Can you be a little more serious when making up lies." ”
Tang Jiahong greeted with a smile, her eyebrows raised slightly, and two big words were written on her face: No.
Suddenly, Lin Shuyan's hand raised and gently brushed her face: "Look at you, I don't know if there is rice on my face." As he spoke, he shook a grain of white rice in front of her.
Tang Jiahong was stunned, I don't know why he could suddenly be so close to him, Lin Shuyan smiled softly: "Don't eat too quickly, it's not good for your health." His serious eyes, gentle as a spring breeze blowing across the land of Jiangnan, Tang Jiahong's heart suddenly moved, almost overwhelmed by his doting eyes.
She turned her head, only to find that her grandmother's eyes were looking at them, and it turned out to be ...... Lin Shuyan's gentleness just now was all for grandma to see. Tang Jiahong felt a loss in his heart, but also some relief, Lin Shuyan not only arrived in time, but also conscientiously completed his entrustment, where to find such a partner.
Since he is so serious, he can't lag behind, Tang Jiahong deliberately pouted, wrinkled his nose, and "hummed". Lin Shuyan twisted her nose slightly: "Eat more." ”
"I want to eat the bamboo shoots in that old duck pot, it's too far to reach. ”
"Little fool, just say no to me. ”
Listening to the words "little fool", Tang Jiahong couldn't help but shudder, did she think she was acting in a romance drama?
Lin Shuyan stood up, filled a bowl for her, and put it in front of her: "Duck meat is cold, eat less." ”
"Hmm. Tang Jiahong smiled sweetly at him, but an idea popped up in his heart: "He is worthy of being the president of a large group, like a graduate of the Chinese Opera Academy, what is acting like." ”
Grandma kept looking at the two of them, and she looked at the little appearance of the little couple "quietly" flirting and scolding, with a little smile on her face. Tang Jiahong is the granddaughter she brought with her, and she is relieved to see that she can be safe and happy.
"Shuyan, Honghong has been pampered since she was a child, she is stupid, she doesn't know how to be flexible, and her temperament is straight, if she makes her small, you have to take care of it. The wrinkles on Grandma's smiling face were all gathered together like a blooming flower.
"Grandma, why don't you talk to outsiders and don't help your granddaughter?" Tang Jiahong pouted and said coquettishly, but her eyebrows and eyes were also full of sweet sunshine, as bright as the morning glow, I heard that grandma could remember fewer and fewer things during this time, sometimes when she went out, she couldn't even find her home, but she didn't expect that grandma still attached so much importance to her own happiness.
Looking at her grandmother's smile, Tang Jiahong's heart was also very happy, when she got married, half of her heart was resentful, and half of her heart was worried that she would not be able to explain in front of her grandmother.
Now that grandma is so happy, she feels that a big stone in her heart has fallen to the ground.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will. Lin Shuyan's serious answer made Tang Jiahong inexplicably a little shy, and instinctively raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "I hate it." Listening to her shy voice, Tang Jiahong suddenly felt that she had just graduated from the Chinese Opera Academy, and how could she act so slippery.
By the way, it must be because Lin Shuyan played the "affectionate husband" too well just now, so that even she entered the role with her, mistakenly substituted herself into the position of a shy newlywed wife, and forgot about herself for a while.
That's not going to work.
Tang Jiahong lowered her head slightly, hiding her flickering eyes, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, but was covered by a pair of warm big hands.
At the moment when the ten fingers were interlocked, Tang Jiahong only felt that his whole body seemed to be overcharged, and his whole body shook slightly, from the palm of his hand to his heart, and with the beating heart, the blood pumped one by one, spreading that indescribable feeling all over his body.
At this time, there was another conversation at the dinner table, the second aunt chattered that her daughter Qiqi was going to "go to junior high school" this year, and she wanted to be admitted to the best Jianhu Middle School in the local area, she was very proud of her daughter's results, but the third aunt said:
"Oh, Jianhu Foreign Chinese Middle School, I heard that the school not only has good grades, but also has to be lucky, and the school has to be lottery, no matter how good the exam is, it is useless to win, but they have reserved places for the children of large business executives and customers in some provinces, Zhiyuan, your company, is there a quota?"
Before He Zhiyuan could speak, Tang Jiani said softly: "Zhiyuan's company is among the top three in the province, and there must be a quota." ”
"Oh, that Zhiyuan, can you help us recommend Qiqi?" The second aunt's eyes were full of expectation, but He Zhiyuan didn't answer, how can this quota be so easy to get, each family only has a quota every five years.
Seeing that He Zhiyuan didn't speak for a long time, the second aunt's face changed, and her tone became weird: "Zhiyuan is now Mr. He, presumably this little thing, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Mr. He, forget it, whether you can be admitted or not, it depends on Qiqi's own luck, it really depends on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run." ”
When he said this, it was already hard to hear, and He Zhiyuan's face was even more ugly.
Tang Jiani heard the second aunt say this, she didn't mean anything about why Zhiyuan explained, she bit her lower lip, looked at He Zhiyuan, and hoped that He Zhiyuan could take this matter down and let her fight in front of her relatives.
He Zhiyuan, who was sitting at the seat, now only felt that the eyes around him were like countless sharp arrows shooting towards him, only piercing him like a man's back and a stalk in his throat, remembering that he toasted with Tang Jiahong at the wedding, it seemed that these relatives had already wanted to find out about his family background and ability, but they were blocked by Tang Jiahong one by one and fooled him casually.
At that time, I thought that Tang Jiahong was too lazy to introduce herself seriously to her relatives, and the original marriage partner in my heart was not her, and she was even more dissatisfied after the wedding.
Thinking about it now, it turned out that Tang Jiahong was defending him at that time, and wanted him not to be entangled by these relatives, but she only understood this now, she just said that Lin Shuyan was just a host, just like when she said that she was a salesman, she really protected him.
He Zhiyuan looked at Tang Jiani who was sitting beside him, with his head down, and wringing his fingers uneasily, and sighed deeply in his heart, these twin sisters look exactly the same, but they have different temperaments, Tang Jiani is weak by nature, if she doesn't give her a little courage, I'm afraid she will no longer be able to face these relatives.
"This Jianhu Foreign School, it is a famous school in the end, and it can't let the same person send people in for months, so it has a rule that the executives of large enterprises with taxes over 100 million yuan can only have a quota every five years, and I only gave my quota to a big customer last year, according to the regulations, I have to wait for another five years. He Zhiyuan said slowly.
The second aunt listened casually, with a look of disdain.
"However, to find another place, I asked a few more friends, some of them are young and have no children, and some are old, and their children have already studied abroad, and these people may still have places left. ”
I heard that there was a turning point for the school quota, and the second aunt's half-foot-long face was suddenly like the noon sun shining on the earth, smiling brightly, and turned to her husband and said: "Jiani is really a blessing, marrying such a capable man, how can it be like you, just an honest countryman, no ability." ”
The second uncle smiled and rubbed his hands: "I have long said that Jiani's luck has always been the best one in our family, I didn't worry about anything when I was a child, I went to a good school when I should go to school, and I found a good partner when I should get married." Look at Zhiyuan's talent, extraordinary spirit, and Jiani. ”
The rest of the relatives also chimed in, saying that Tang Jiani and He Zhiyuan were a match made in heaven, regardless of the fact that there was a Tang Jiahong sitting next to him.
Although Tang Jiahong has long been aware of the nature of these relatives, she still has an uncomfortable feeling when she sees them so stammering He Zhiyuan, who they think will be useful in the future, after all, these people are all her relatives, and her father has never helped them in the past, and now, they are clearly the only ones in the world who have lost their own people, only Tang Jiani is a member of their Tang family, and Tang Jiahong or something is just a ball of air.
The children finished eating early, impatient with the conversation of the adults, and were driven to the side to play, chasing and fighting, noisy, suddenly Lin Shuyan felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and turned his head to see that it was the son of the third aunt, he held the Iron Man figure that Lin Shuyan bought in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is really fun, thank you second brother-in-law." The little cousin who followed me was only three years old, holding a Barbie doll in the image of Elsa in Frozen, grinning.
The little cousin said to her seriously: "This is bought by the second brother-in-law, you have to thank the second brother-in-law." ”
"Thank you, second brother-in-law. After being taught, the little cousin said loudly to Lin Shuyan: "Thank you, second brother-in-law!"
No matter how loud the child's immature voice is, it has not overpowered the voice of the adult to please He Zhiyuan.
"Young talents like Zhiyuan, the company must pay special attention, by the way, your company still can't recruit people? Our family Lili is about to graduate from junior college, and I want to find a job in a large company. ”
"Zhiyuan, a big company like yours must recruit people who are good-looking, with good backgrounds, and whether there are any young men of school-age who are not married in your company, preferably locals, with a house and a car at home, and well-educated parents. ”
"I heard that your company is an agent of imported cosmetics, do you usually give some to employees?"
"Is your house ......?"
Gossip, after all the flattery, they will inevitably reveal their true intentions, He Zhiyuan has to deal with them with a smile, Tang Jiani is only responsible for sitting on the side and smiling gently, occasionally she takes a sentence, she is also praising He Zhiyuan for his ability, hearing that Lin Shuyan has ability, the words of relatives will be more, He Zhiyuan secretly complains in his heart, I just hope that Tang Jiani can close his mouth and sit quietly.
In his busy schedule, he saw Lin Shuyan sitting leisurely on the side, Tang Jiahong blocked these relatives for him at the beginning, and he could eat a meal quietly now.
He Zhiyuan looked at Tang Jiahong and smiled indifferently, and Lin Shuyan was coquettish and laughing, how did he think she was a cold and uninteresting woman in the first place.
said and toasted to He Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, your little cousin's matter, I still bother you to worry about it, thank you, thank you." As soon as he looked up, he drank a glass of wine. Under his eager gaze, He Zhiyuan also had to raise his head, and the wine was dry.
After glass of wine, he promised one thing after another, and in the end, He Zhiyuan promised countless things that seemed to be able to do, but in fact needed to use his various connections and relationships.
When he was half drunk and half awake, he heard Tang Jiani still boasting about his skills and abilities, and the admiration of her relatives made her gentle face shine more and more.
There were only leftovers on the table, relatives living in the local area said goodbye and left, only grandma and a live-in nanny were left at home, and the huge house was suddenly half empty.
