Chapter 320: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The last time the future proposed to him, he was stubbornly refused.
Now, if he wants to be cheeky and ask for opinions in the future, he is really panicked.
Chen Qiao's two families are in-laws, and it is easy to eat together. But Zhang Future is not a member of the Chen family, how can Zhang Future naturally go to the appointment happily, and then talk harmoniously about how to deal with the current crisis?
"Eh, Dad, do you want to invite Zhang Future to dinner?" The tacit understanding between father and son is fundamentally clear. Qiao Nineteen said that Qiao Zhuangyuan understood his father's intentions. "I heard that she basically shouldn't entertain dinners, unless it's a socialization that she really can't shirk. And she's also very busy, Shirui hasn't been able to meet her a few times. ”
Zhang Future is a busy man, of course Qiao Nineteen knows. Now the whole store of Tianxianglou is red, all of them are profitable, and the Tianxiang Group is jubilant, and the directors who criticized her for her rush are now talking back and praising her in unison.
However, there are gains and losses.
Tianxianglou's performance is rising, but the future city with the theme of shopping, leisure and entertainment is also inevitably suffering from the impact of economic depression.
As the person in charge of the City of the Future, what she has to do is how to create conditions to enhance the confidence of the merchants, so that the City of the Future has excellent ability to attract money among its peers.
Fortunately, the end of the year is the time for people to buy new clothes and spend a lot of money, as long as the promotion is strong enough, relatively speaking, it will not be bleak.
However, it is precisely because of the end of the year that all companies are getting busier.
"Of course I know she's hard to date!" Qiao Nineteen gave his son an idiot look and said in a tone that he had to obey. "I always thought she was lucky, and Chen Zhuzi's old boy secretly helped. She has what she has today. But now it seems that I have really lost my eyes. This kid has a very keen sense of touch. ”
What I suggested to him last time in the future. He didn't take it to heart, and later when the financial crisis broke out, he was even more ashamed to say it, so Qiao Zhuangyuan didn't know about it.
Qiao Nineteen roughly told him what happened last time.
"If you think about it, there are no projects she has participated in that are not profitable." Qiao Zhuangyuan said in a deep voice, "No wonder my father-in-law almost always lets her go and fully supports her, Shirui also told me that the future is not an ordinary girl." Does Dad want to get a look out from her now to see if there's a chance to be saved? ”
Qiao Nineteen closed his eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied that his son could quickly understand his mind.
"I did that to her last time, and now I want to put down my body and beg her, alas, where do you want me to put this old face?" Qiao Nineteen patted his face, "What's more, even if I really beg her, she may not want to see me again!" And, now, she is still too busy to take care of herself. How can you put all this thought into it for me? In fact, even if I see her, she may not really be able to put forward any constructive suggestions, but I am just a little unwilling. ”
Qiao Zhuangyuan naturally understood what his father meant, and he pondered for a long time. For a while, there is really no better reason to invite: "Why don't I make an appointment with her, I think this bit of face is still there, but it also depends on her schedule." ”
"Do you still have to say that? Didn't I want to see her sooner? The sooner the problem is resolved. The less we lose! Qiao Nineteen sighed, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Whimsically said: "Why don't you just let her marry into the Qiao family?" Isn't that kid the best at pleasing girls? Instead of waiting for her time like this, it is better to see her anytime and anywhere. What do you think? Speaking of which, Zhang Future is not young, right? Is it supposed to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight today? Hey, Chen Zhuzi doesn't know how to worry about his apprentice's life, it seems that he can't wait for Zhang to marry in the future, right?! ”
"Dad, you're too ......" Qiao Zhuangyuan couldn't help but feel sorry for the future.
In addition to having a good-looking face and a sweeter mouth, where is there any merit? Marry him in the future, isn't that a grievance? The future conditions are so good, presumably as long as she speaks, young talents waiting to marry her abound, where will it be the turn to get Jo Zeon, who can only eat, drink and have fun?
"A-Yuan, now that you have married another wife, can't you still understand my feelings at that time?"
Qiao Zeen's lack of growth, Qiao Nineteen has an element of acquiescence in it, in business, Qiao Zhuangyuan and his father work together, but in the relationship between father and son, it seems that it is not so harmonious.
Based on this, Qiao Zeen did not enter the company, Qiao Nineteen gave him pocket money, and also deposited a trust fund for him, so that he could give an account to him after returning to the West in the future. As for the company, it is left to the eldest son, which can be regarded as a compensation for him, not to mention, Qiao Zhuangyuan is also the most suitable successor for the company.
This not only avoided the conflict between the two to the greatest extent, but also gave the two of them full benefits, and Qiao Jiu didn't have to worry about the discord between the two brothers all the time.
However, now that Qiao Zhuangyuan is married to Chen Shirui, he seems to be quite tempted by her, and Qiao Nineteen uses the same reasoning to persuade Qiao Zhuangyuan.
In fact, this problem was already being considered when Qiao Zhuangyuan planned to have a child with Chen Shirui.
At this moment, he understood his father's mentality a little, and he was also a lot more tolerant and peaceful towards Qiao Zeen. If he wants to have children, he must first deal with the relationship with Jo Zeen, otherwise how will he face his two children in the future?
But one yard is one yard, it is a lifelong event related to others, where can it be decided casually?
"I know what you're thinking." Qiao Nineteen couldn't help but be proud of his idea, and a smile on his face. "You're worried that Zhang Future's girl won't look down on Zeen, but this is also maybe, in case this is their fate. I immediately contacted my father-in-law and told him about it. Don't be very formal, just order a dinner with your in-laws, let's go over together, and let your in-laws find a way to summon the future to the past. ”
"Daddy!" Qiao Zhuangyuan groaned, crying and laughing at his father's wishful thinking. At the beginning, Chen Shirui and his affairs were strongly opposed by the Chen family, is Qiao Zeen stronger than him?
Just do it, Qiao Jiujiu immediately called Chen Zhuzi and said that he would come out for tea.

At this time, the purchasing department has been preparing the company's employees' New Year's goods, and in the future, the heads of various departments will count the number of employees who are ready to go home during the Spring Festival, and purchase train tickets for employees as one of the benefits, and give priority to the southern region. If there are employees in the southern region who are going home for the Chinese New Year, they will arrange to travel before the New Year, that is, February 1 of 08.
As a result, the employees in the south were cheering, and the employees in the north were not happy. In the future, we will only have to explain that it is because of the large number of employees from the south and southwest of the company, and this is done to try to stagger the peak period. For the sake of fairness, this practice will be rotated every year, this time in the south, and the next time in the north, so that everyone's resentment can be calmed a little.
On Christmas Eve, Chen Zhuzi called the future to his house for dinner.
The future can't be prevaricated, and it is such a special day, so she still agreed.
asked the secretary to prepare gifts for the Chen family, and went directly to the Chen family after work.
When I arrived at Chen's house, I found it unusually lively.
Not only Chen Shirui and his wife came, but Qiao Nineteen and his second son Qiao Zeen also arrived, and everyone was sitting in front of the fireplace, talking and laughing.
It's past six o'clock, and everyone is still here, apparently waiting for the future to come over and have dinner together.
"I'm sorry, it's a bit of a traffic jam, so I've kept everyone waiting."
Taking off his coat and handing it to the servant, Mirai glanced at everyone and smiled and apologized.
"Oh, it's okay, we've just arrived." Qiao Nineteen stood up first and said.
The moment the future met his gaze, he vaguely understood his intention.
"Old man Joe!" Mirai greeted him politely.
"Just call me uncle, I'm not that old." Qiao Nineteen said with a hearty smile.
"In the future, you're here!" Chen Zhuzi also stood up, and everyone else also got up.
"Happy Christmas Eve, Master! Happy Christmas Eve everyone! ”
They were happy with each other for a while, and when their eyes inadvertently collided with Jozeon, the latter mischievously squeezed his eyes at her.
Seeing Qiao Zeen present, the future is a little uncertain again, didn't Qiao Nineteen come to discuss work with her?
"Everyone is here, then let's eat first!" Chen Zhuzi beckoned everyone to the banquet and instructed the servants to open the meal.
At the dinner table, everyone had a tacit understanding to let Future and Jozern sit together.
On the left hand side of the future is Qiao Zeen, on the right hand side is Chen Shirui, a long table with a mahogany-colored marble table full of people, eating the taste of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Jozern was a little different today than usual.
The hair that was originally dyed burgundy was all dyed black, and it was not curled in a mess, it was taken care of properly, the earrings on the ears were also removed, and the clothes on the body were not street style, but standard aristocratic makeup.
It seems that he is fighting with his spirits, Qiao Nineteen really didn't pull him to be a pure prop.
"It's a bit unaccustomed to your serious appearance." Future tilted his head slightly, and said to him in a low voice. "What, have you changed your ways?"
"No, I'm both good and evil!" Jozern replied with a playful smile.
"Ah, I see!" Future nodded, and stopped talking.
"By the way, I'm going to Ireland in two days, and it's rumored that there's a haunted castle there, do you want to go and see what the ghost looks like?"
"Does anyone live like you like this?" Mirai snorted from his nostrils.
"Did you know that Irish law prohibits divorce?" He said a word to the horse's mouth.
"So, you're going to Ireland to get married?" Future couldn't help but glance at him, "I always thought you were a person like the wind of freedom." ”
"Oh, that's what you think of me? I think I'm supposed to be like a kite, there's always someone to be the thread that holds me together! Although he was dressed more seriously, his tone still did not change from the previous hanger. (To be continued......)
