Judging by the way the three of them are dressed, they should be doing well in the United States. In particular, the middle-aged woman is dressed in jewelry, with at least four rings on her hands, and the pearl necklace around her neck is also large and round. The young man, dressed in a high-end suit, always looked at the Swiss watch on his wrist, as if he cared about time.

Although Lao Cao's family is all smiling, they look very kind. However, in Xiao Ping's opinion, the family dressed up so much to come to the old neighbor's house to pay New Year's greetings, which inevitably meant to show off.

Xiao Ping's sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of Lao Cao's family, and the lively conversation just now stopped.

didn't take the surprised gaze of the old Cao family to heart at all, Xiao Ping greeted Song Tianqi in a regular manner: "Happy New Year Uncle Song!"

Song Tianqi was originally an honest man who was not good at words, and he was a little irritable by the language bombardment of Lao Cao's family. Now that he finally got a chance to breathe, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao is here, sit down, uncle wishes you a prosperous business in the New Year!"

"Xie Lu, Uncle Song. Xiao Ping had great respect for this old man in the actual sense, and after thanking Song Tianqi, he honestly found a chair to sit down.

The middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Ping with hostile eyes, and only after making sure that his clothes were all ordinary goods, did she purse the corners of her lips disdainfully, and asked Song Tianqi in a slow voice: "Old Song, who is this young man?

"Oh, Xiao Xiao, these three are Uncle Cao, Aunt Meng, and their son Xiao Cao. Song Tianqi is an honest person, he didn't hear the hostility in Meng Aimei's words, and introduced the two parties with a smile: "This is Xiao Ping, a friend of Lei Lei." I invited him to dinner today. ”

Xiao Ping is open-minded, since Song Tianqi has made an introduction. Naturally, he would not ignore the old Cao family, and stood up to greet the three of them: "Uncle Cao is good." Hello Aunt Meng, ...... Cao Hello Cao. ”

However, Cao Dahua's family was taken aback when they heard that Xiao Ping was Song Lei's friend. Since Song Tianqi knew that Xiao Ping was Song Lei's friend, and invited him to eat at home during the Chinese New Year, at least it shows that Song Tianqi and his wife have a very good impression of this young man. This made Cao Dahua's son feel a strong threat, and the more he looked at Xiao Ping, the more he felt annoying.

Xiao Cao, who had a fire in his heart, snorted dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Xiao, we are not so familiar. You can call me Mr. Cao, or Charlie Cao!"

Song Tianqi was surprised: "Xiao Cao, weren't you originally called Cao Jun, why did you change your foreign name?"

"Old Song. You don't know what to do!" Meng Aimei said proudly: "Our Charlie has found a good job in the United States, and the bosses are all Americans, of course he has to give a foreign name, so that the boss can remember the name, which is conducive to future development!"

Listening to Meng Aimei's words, Song Tianqi shook his head gently, he didn't like the name Charlie Cao. The Chinese who are good at it have a foreign name, how to pronounce it awkwardly.

However, Cao Dahua's family obviously doesn't think so, and they are more interested in Charlie Cao's work. Now that the mother has spoken out. Charlie Cao also said with a reserved smile: "Uncle Song, I got a job as an assistant manager at the head office of Edek Petroleum Company, and I can barely be regarded as a middle level in the company." ”

Charlie Cao's words are a bit exaggerated, after all, in a big company like Edek. Managers are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. The manager he followed could only barely be regarded as the middle level of the company, where could the assistant manager be qualified for the middle level? But now that it is in China, Charlie Cao does not have to worry about the cowhide being blown out.

Song Tianqi had no concept of foreign oil companies at all. There was no reaction when I heard this. However, Xiao Ping was a little surprised when he heard the name of Edk Oil Company, and vaguely felt that he had heard it somewhere. But I couldn't remember it for a while.

Charlie Cao saw Xiao Ping's expression and asked him with a bit of pride: "Look at Mr. Xiao's appearance." Looks like you've heard of my company?"

"That's right. Xiao Ping said honestly: "I have indeed heard somewhere, this is a very large oil company, and it is also very famous internationally. ”

can be recognized by Xiao Ping, Charlie Cao is even more proud. However, his mother's eyes were more poisonous, and it could be seen that Song Tianqi and his wife did not know about Edk Oil Company, so they immediately changed a method to introduce their baby son's work.

"Lao Song, Lao Yang, let me tell you, my son's annual salary is now 120,000 dollars, US dollars!" Meng Aimei said with a fluttering eyebrow: "As long as you work hard, it won't be long before you will be the middle class over there." Now that he has got his green card, he has finally settled down, and we parents are really proud of him. ”

Listening to Meng Aimei unabashedly praising her son, Xiao Ping couldn't help but show a sneer. Speaking from the heart, if it were put three years ago, Charlie Cao's conditions would definitely be beyond Xiao Ping's reach. But for Xiao Ping today, these conditions are nothing at all. In fact, Xiao Ping doesn't look down on Charlie Cao's work, after all, he also relied on his own efforts.

It's just that Cao Dahua's family's attitude of thinking they are high and showing off everywhere makes Xiao Ping a little unhappy. When I came to someone's house as a guest during the Chinese New Year, but put on such a gesture, isn't this adding to the blockage for others?

Cao Dahua didn't say much, just observed the reactions of Song Tianqi and Xiao Ping, and found that Xiao Ping was sneering and he frowned lightly and asked, "Where is Xiao Xiao currently in high school?"

"Oh, I'm working for myself. Although Cao Dahua's tone was a little unhappy, Xiao Ping still said quietly: "I am from Su City, and I have rented a piece of land on the outskirts of Su City right now, and asked a few farmers to help grow some vegetables, raise some chickens and ducks, or something." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Ping smiled honestly at Cao Dahua's family: "You know, green food is popular now, so my business is not bad, and there is no problem at all to support my family." ”

Cao Dahua's family has been abroad for a long time, and they don't think about jade vegetables at all. Hearing that Xiao Ping was just a vegetable grower, and he didn't even have a provincial household registration, he showed contempt.

Among them, Meng Aimei was the most obvious, and snorted lightly: "Cut, it turned out to be a small farmer who grows vegetables, looking at this faction, I thought it was the big boss of the company!"

Charlie Cao also sneered: "I heard that the income from growing vegetables is not bad now, Mr. Xiao, has the annual income reached 100,000?"

In the face of the obvious provocation of the Cao family's mother and son, Xiao Ping just smiled and did not answer. He is not a person who likes to show off, and to be honest, Xiao Ping himself doesn't know how much Lu Dao earned last year, so he has to find a few professional accountants to calculate it well to get the result.

Because Song Lei rarely talked about Xiao Ping with her parents, Xiao Ping himself was also a person who didn't like to show off, so although Song Tianqi and his wife knew that Xiao Ping was doing business, they didn't know how big his business was.

Seeing that Xiao Ping was ridiculed by the Cao family's mother and son, Yang Qin, who couldn't bear to embarrass him, hurriedly laughed and interrupted: "No matter how much you earn, as long as it is legal income from labor." For example, my Lei Lei has been working as an agent for a celebrity recently, and sometimes she is so busy that she doesn't have time to go home once a month. But as long as we know that she didn't go the wrong way, we can rest assured, do you think this is the reason?"

Yang Qin's words made Meng Aimei frown, and immediately asked anxiously: "Lei Lei is acting as the agent of the star, is the star a man or a woman?"

"It's a woman, and she seems to have been quite famous lately. Yang Qin tried hard to recall, but finally shook his head and said: "That star seems to be surnamed Wu or Hu, and I can't remember the name." ”

Hearing that Song Lei was working as an economist for female stars, Meng Aimei's face looked a little better, but she still said with a cold face: "Lei Lei is a girl, how can she work in the chaotic entertainment industry? This is absolutely not good! In the future, Lei Lei and my boy will get married, so they should move to the United States with us, or let her quit this job quickly!"

"Married?" Hearing Meng Aimei suddenly mention this, Xiao Ping couldn't help but be taken aback. He hurriedly looked at Song Tianqi and Yang Qin, and found that they were also full of surprised expressions, knowing that this was just wishful thinking on the part of the three members of Cao Dahua's family, and the hanging heart was finally put down.

This matter is related to her daughter's lifelong happiness, and Yang Qin, who has never spoken, couldn't help but say: "The matter of marriage still depends on Lei Lei's meaning, this is her lifelong event, and she still has to make her own decision." ”

Hearing Yang Qin's statement, Xiao Ping was relieved, it seemed that this was just wishful thinking on the part of Cao Dahua's family, and Song Tianqi and his wife didn't know about it in advance.

Meng Aimei has always felt that her son's conditions are so good, and being able to fall in love with Song Lei is a blessing that their Song family has cultivated for several lifetimes. As long as he reveals a little bit of his son's intention to marry Song Lei, the Song family should cry and shout and beg for their own marriage. However, judging from Yang Qin's words at the moment, there is actually a bit of shirking, which really makes Meng Aimei very unhappy.

Even the honest Song Tianqi couldn't agree with Meng Aimei's words, frowned and said: "As long as you work honestly, what does it have to do with my family Lei Lei no matter how chaotic the entertainment industry is?

Cao Dahua was calmer than his wife and children, and when he saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he immediately smiled and played a round: "Brother and sister are right, it's better for young people to decide this matter for themselves." Lei Lei is not here today, and what we have said here is in vain. I've booked a seat at the Garden Hotel tomorrow night, and you must come, Old Song. Let Lei Lei meet our boy, and let Lei Lei decide for herself if it succeeds, what do you think?"

Speaking from the heart, Song Tianqi was also a little dissatisfied with the attitude of Cao Dahua's family, and felt that the old neighbor had become powerful after going abroad for a few years, and he really didn't want to eat this meal.

However, before Song Tianqi refused, Cao Dahua, who was good at observing words and feelings, continued: "Old Song, don't treat this as a blind date for your children, just as an old neighbor who rarely comes back to invite you to dinner, you must go!"

Cao Dahua has talked about this, Song Tianqi is really hard to refuse, this honest man can only nod a little depressed: "Okay, let's go tomorrow!" (to be continued......)
