Chapter 404: Come and Help Me
After Lin Lian's concise explanation, the two families understood the preciousness of this diamond ring.
Both families couldn't help but gasp, doesn't this mean that wearing this diamond ring is equivalent to wearing the net income of ordinary people for several years on their hands. Compared to the gold ring, this is not a star and a half, even Luo Yunyan, who thinks that her family is a middle-level in the Shanghai market, heard such a large amount, and she held her breath for a while.
"Diamonds are eternal, one will last forever" Fang Mingyuan smiled, "I think it is most appropriate to use the hardest gem on shijie to compare the aiqing of human loyalty, and this is also my good blessing for your marriage Compared with this metaphor, two pairs of diamond rings, what is it?"
"Diamonds are eternal, a diamond will last forever?" Xia repeated softly, his eyes flashed with a strange light, although he was a graduate student in the School of Civil Engineering, he was not a dead student, and he quickly realized the value of Fang Mingyuan's sentence.
"Fang Shao, may I ask the Mercedes-Benz downstairs, but yours?" Xia Wen had already subconsciously used honorifics.
"Ahh Fang Mingyuan nodded and said. The car was sent from Hong Kong on New Year's Day, saying that it was a New Year's gift to him.
"Fang Shao......" Xia interjected.
Fang Mingyuan waved his hand again and again: "Uncle Xia, don't be so polite, let's call me Mingyuan." ”
"This gift is too valuable, Xiaowen he can't afford it," Xia decided to omit the salutation.
"A person can get married several times in his life, and a little heart is nothing. Besides, in a few years, it won't be a big deal for you and Uncle Lin to buy a diamond ring for your children. You don't have to excuse Sister Lian for them, you don't want to make trouble on the side. What you said is the market price, and I am taking the wholesale price here, can you compare them together? Otherwise, I will give them a car each" Fang Mingyuan pretended to be angry.
"Forget it, Dad, Uncle Xia, since he wants to send it, you can take it. He's not bad at that anyway. Lin Lian said helplessly.
"If you give it to you, you can take it for nothing" Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and smiled, "In the future, when you and Sister Rong and Xiao Wu get married, everyone will have a share Uncle Lin, Uncle Xia, you have been married for more than 20 years, have you been married for 25 years? Do you want to have a silver wedding anniversary, and I will give you one for each of you?"
'Silver Wedding Anniversary?" Lin Qidong and Summer looked at each other in amazement, what kind of anniversary is this?
Xia smiled and said: "Dad, Uncle Lin, Fang Shao's silver wedding anniversary is a tradition in Europe and the United States, they have a description of every wedding anniversary, for example, the first anniversary is called paper wedding anniversary, the second anniversary is called cotton wedding, and the third anniversary seems to be called ......."
"Leather marriage," Luo Yunyan said in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, leather marriage, this goes on, the tenth year is called the tin wedding, the twenty-fifth anniversary is called the silver wedding, the fiftieth anniversary is called the golden wedding, and the highest is the seventy-fifth anniversary, called the diamond wedding. Summer nodded repeatedly.
"Seventy-fifth anniversary?" said in Summer's voice, "that can't be over a hundred years old"
"That's not necessarily," Xia thought for a while, "I remember that many countries in Europe and the United States have different rules on the age of marriage, and in some countries, as long as the parents nod their heads, you can get married at the age of twelve or thirteen." And their marriage does not affect their studies. It's very different from our country. ”
Summer and Lin Qidong were relieved.
After such a stir, Xia and Luo Yunyan relaxed a lot, it seems that Fang Mingyuan has a very harmonious relationship with the Xia family and the Lin family, and he naturally let go a lot when he talks.
Fang Mingyuan looked at Xia Xia and said, "This ...... Brother Wen......"
"Don't, don't, you just call him by his name" Xia hurriedly stopped, "He can't afford it"
Although Xia Wen was a little unimpressed, but his father was doing things under others, of course he had to pay attention to it, don't mess with Fang Mingyuan, I'm afraid it will not only be a matter of putting small shoes on my father when he turns around.
"Uncle Xia, this is not a company, nor is it a public place, and there is not so much attention to it in private. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "You see me and Sister Lian, even in the company, isn't it called like that." Brother Wen, I heard Uncle Xia say that you are a graduate student in the Department of Civil Engineering of National Tongji University, aren't you?"
Xia Wen nodded, the tutor of the graduate student of the Department of Civil Engineering of National Tongji University is a well-known old professor in the country, and it is not easy to be admitted to his door.
"Then have you ever thought about the issue of employment after graduating from graduate school? You and Sister Luo, do you and Sister Luo plan to stay in Shanghai, or go back to Fengyuan?" Fang Mingyuan was straight to the point, and he stabbed the key point with one shot.
"This ......" Xia Wen was caught off guard by him, looked at Xia, and secretly complained in his heart. Although his Jihua is to persuade his father to let him stay in Shanghai to work, and then find a way to bring his parents and brothers to Shanghai in the future. But in front of so many people, if you say it directly, I'm afraid that summer will change your face.
"Then it goes without saying, of course he's back," Summer's wife said on the side, "He's been gone for several years, and sometimes he doesn't come back during the winter and summer vacations, and it's hard to graduate, of course he wants to return to Fengyuan to work" Before her words fell, Luo Yunyan's face was already a little blue.
Xia noticed the change in her, waved her hand and said: "Cook your food, Fang Shao is here today, don't make a few good dishes and come out to men, it's none of your old ladies' business"
"Hmph" Xia's wife pinched Summer and went to the kitchen angrily.
"Xiaowen, of course your mother hopes that you can return to her, the mother is worried, the mother is not worried, you have to understand her feelings. However, I can also see it, do you want to stay in Shanghai?" Xia felt helpless, this matter should have been said by the family behind closed doors, but as a result, Fang Mingyuan's pole was poked out, so he could only say it in pass.
Xia Wen was also embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer. Let's go back to Fengyuan, not to mention that Luo Yunyan and her family don't agree with their daughter coming over, even Luo Yunyan herself is probably not happy. But if you want to stay in Shanghai, in front of so many outsiders, you really can't open your mouth.
"Uncle Xia, don't misunderstand, Mingyuan asked Xiaowen what he thought about his future work?" Lin Lian hurriedly interjected, "Is it, Mingyuan?" She noticed just now that Fang Mingyuan originally wanted to leave at an early age, but later it was purely because he heard that Xia Wen, a top student from the School of Civil Engineering of National Tongji University, was coming back, so she stayed. Now Fang Mingyuan asked him about his plans after graduation, and then thought about it, the land to be developed in Yazhou, Fang Mingyuan's intentions were not yet ready to come out.
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "What Sister Lian said is that I have some ideas about his future work, Brother Wen, after graduation, would you like to come and help me do something?"
"Help you with your work?" Xia Wen is even more confused, he is studying civil engineering, and the Fang family is industry and commerce and electronics manufacturing, which one is not compatible with him?
He hesitated here, but he was overjoyed in the summer, if his son could enter the Fang family's industry to do things, the future would be bright, as long as he didn't make fundamental mistakes, then no one would be able to suppress him in the future. And in the summer's opinion, no matter where Xia Wen works after graduation, he can't avoid the problem of seniority, he is a young man who has just left school, what big things can he manage? But when he arrives at the Fang family, it is different.
In these industries of the Fang family, the people who are responsible for the beams at a young age are handful. Like the branch managers of Fangjia Restaurant, as well as the managers of Carrefour supermarkets in various places, those in their thirties are not uncommon at all. And in the company, what everyone values most is ability, if you have the ability, you can go down, and if you don't have the ability, no one will talk about your age.
Of course, this is mainly because Fang Mingyuan's age is here, if anyone makes a fuss at this age and blocks the way of young people, the first person to offend is Fang Mingyuan.
With Lin Lian's "internal response", Xia and Lin Qidong both know that the most talkative in the Fang family's industry is Old Man Fang, but Old Man Fang usually counts Fang Mingyuan second regardless of things, and the second generation of the Fang family, the right to speak and influence in the Fang family's industry, but they have to be ranked after him, the third generation.
Therefore, since Fang Mingyuan opened his mouth, as long as Xia Wen nodded, it would be a sure thing to enter the Fang family's industry in the future. Moreover, as a person directly recruited by Fang Mingyuan, who would dare to suppress him, who would dare to put small shoes on him? Maybe in three or five years, he would be able to take charge on his own
"Silly boy, don't hurry up and agree to come down" Xia Wen patted Xia Wen on the back and said eagerly, "This is Fang Shao who values you"
"Dad, I'm studying civil engineering," Xia Wen said with a look of embarrassment.
"What's wrong with civil engineering? There are not many people who don't have the right majors now? There are also those who study nuclear physics and sell tea and eggs," seeing his son so obsessed, he couldn't help but blow his beard and stare at him in the summer.
In China, because state-owned enterprises have been in a downturn for many years, the situation of college graduates not being able to find jobs in the right major has become a norm.
Fang Mingyuan glanced at Lin Lian, and Lin Lian said knowingly: "Xiaowen, I can tell you, as long as you want to come, the major will definitely make you the right one, and I'm afraid that for a long time in the future, you will be very busy, of course, the salary will also be very high, do you believe me?"
"If you are willing to join, I can help you study in the United States and study there, how about it?" Seeing that Xia Wen seemed to be a little moved, Fang Mingyuan put a heavy weight on it again
