Chapter 13: The Chair Controversy
Santana, who was sitting in Kongshun, returned home, the sky had already darkened, and Zhou Fan suddenly remembered that dinner had not yet been made, and he was suddenly excited.
When I walked into the door with three steps and two steps, I saw my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, putting on a stinky face.
"Mom, I'm coming back late, so I'm going to cook." Zhou Fan lowered his head and walked towards the kitchen.
"You also know that when you come back, we'll be out all afternoon, and we'll starve to death when you cook!" Zhao Yufeng's words were as mean as ever.
Zhou Fan didn't say a word, walked to the kitchen door, smelled the aroma of food, and Lin Xin'er brought out a bowl of clam tofu soup.
Where does a pampered eldest lady like her know how to cook, and the meals are made by Lin Guangcheng.
Passing by Zhou Fan's side, smelling the smell of wine, Lin Xin'er frowned slightly and asked, "Have you drunk?" ”
"I had a few drinks with my friends." Zhou Fan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to admit it honestly.
"I don't care what you're doing out there, don't bring your fox friends home, you know?" Lin Xin'er said lightly.
Zhou Fan nodded, even if she didn't say it, she wouldn't invite her old classmates to come to the door, and she would not be able to see people when she was a son-in-law.
After dinner, Lin Xin'er looked at Zhou Fan with a hint of expectation: "Is there an eyebrow about the mahogany?" ”
"I have asked Mr. Shao to help contact, and those timber merchants will go to other places to discuss business, and they will return to Haicheng in two days." Zhou Fan replied while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Hopefully, it's in time." Lin Xin'er's eyes showed a trace of worry, and she hesitated for a moment and said, "Tomorrow's family meeting, you will attend with us." ”
The Lin family held a family meeting every month, and the heads of each subsidiary reported to Mrs. Lin on their business performance.
Zhou Fan was purely dispensable before, and no one asked him to attend the meeting, this was the first time.
At noon the next day, the Volkswagen Passat arrived at the door of the riverside villa, and several BMW Mercedes were parked around.
Although Mrs. Lin's residence is not as luxurious as Qingyun Mountain No. 1, it is also a rare mansion.
In the conference room, the other members of the Lin family had already arrived in advance, and Lin Guangcheng's family was the latest.
Lin Zhicai glanced at Zhou Fan and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing with this waste on such an important occasion?" ”
"Zhou Fan is a member of our Lin family, of course he is qualified to participate in the family meeting." Lin Guangcheng didn't respond lightly.
"I'm really embarrassed, there are only three chairs left, and I can only grieve him to stand." It was Lin Zhicai's wife Zhu Yanxia who spoke, and her tone was yin and yang.
Lin Xin'er looked around, and her slender index finger pointed to the corner: "Isn't there another handful there?" ”
"That one is for my son-in-law Wang Hao, and he will come over in a while." Zhu Yanxia hurriedly put the bag on the empty chair and occupied a seat.
"Second aunt, Wang Hao's name is not written on the chair, why can he sit, but Zhou Fan can't sit?" Lin Xin'er became popular all of a sudden, she was really too deceitful!
"Just because Wang Hao can help our family get mahogany, and he is also a son-in-law, what contribution can Zhou Fan make to the Lin family?"
"How do you know that Zhou Fan can't get mahogany?" Zhao Yufeng rolled her eyes and went back.
"Enough, don't say a word!" Mrs. Lin was annoyed by the quarrel between the two daughters-in-law, and patted the table with a stiff face: "Chair Zhou Fan sits first, and Wang Hao will come later." ”
"Thank you, grandma." Zhou Fan sat down with peace of mind.
Under the strong suppression, the scene finally stopped, the meeting entered the main topic, and the heads of several subsidiaries took turns to make reports.
On the whole, the performance of the Lin Group is quite good, the profit has maintained stable growth, and the old lady's face is a little gloomy.
After the last spokesman finished speaking, Lin Zhicai's son Lin Zihao suddenly said: "Grandma, I heard a piece of news two days ago, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
As the grandson of the Lin family, Lin Zihao was deeply liked by the old lady, as soon as he opened his mouth, the old lady Lin smiled and said: "Zihao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Lin Zihao looked at Lin Xin'er with a smile: "I heard that my cousin spent eight million to buy a batch of fake mahogany, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”
When the words fell, all the eyes of the audience focused on Lin Xin'er, which made her suddenly feel a lot of pressure.
"Xin'er, is there such a thing?" The old lady asked with a frown.
"Mom, I'm to blame for this, I was deceived because I looked away, and Xin'er has borrowed money to make up for the loss." Lin Guangcheng took the responsibility on himself and relieved his daughter.
"If it weren't for Zihao, I would still be kept in the dark, did you take me seriously?!" The old lady's face pulled down again, and her tone was sternly reprimanded.
Lin Zhicai followed closely and fell into the ground: "I still want to fool everyone, who is willing to lend eight million casually this year, and the capital chain of Xinmei Furniture Factory is estimated to have been broken." ”
"What Guangcheng said is true, it was Zhou Haitao and Zhou Shaotuo who borrowed money from a friend, he and Yuxin had a good relationship, if it wasn't for the joy of his mother, maybe they would have been together." Zhao Yufeng said dissatisfied.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense." Lin Xin'er pulled her mother's sleeve, and her face was not very good-looking.
When Chong Xi was mentioned, the old lady felt guilty about her granddaughter, and her anger subsided a little.
"It turned out to be Zhou Haitao, no wonder, he has been in love with Xin'er for a long time, and he will borrow millions of dollars, I don't know how good the relationship is." Lin Zihao smiled with a smile on his face, looking at the top of Zhou Fan's head meaningfully.
Noticing the ridiculous gaze, Zhou Fan turned his head and made a "stupid" mouth shape, and secretly raised his middle finger.
The corner of Lin Zihao's eyes jumped, and he was just about to get angry, but was interrupted by Wang Hao, who hurriedly walked into the conference room.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the traffic jam on the road is one step late, please forgive me."
With that, he was about to find a seat to sit down, but found that there was not a single empty chair.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and give the chair to my son-in-law!" Zhu Yanxia shouted at Zhou Fan.
"Second aunt, don't you understand the principle of first come, first come?" Zhou Fan didn't mean to give way, and said indifferently: "Strictly speaking, I am the Lin family, and your son-in-law is the Wang family, so this position should belong to me." ”
After a little thought, everyone felt that this made sense.
Zhou Fan joined the Lin family, and Wang Hao just married the woman of the Lin family, and the daughter who married out splashed out, and the relationship can be seen at a glance.
Lin Xin'er's beautiful eyes bloomed with a strange light, and she had an urge to applaud, this is the backbone that a man should have!
Lin Zhicai and the others had strange expressions, this guy had always been a cowardly bag in the past, when did he become so sharp-tongued?
Zhu Yanxia was speechless by these words, unable to find any reason to refute them, and her face turned red.
"If there is anything to fight about in a chair, you will know that there is a fight in the nest." The old lady looked displeased: "Zhou Fan, you go outside and move a chair for Wang Hao." ”
Although what Zhou Fan said was very reasonable, in the old lady's mind, Wang Hao, who was born in a famous family, was far more important than his son-in-law.
Zhu Yanxia turned her anger into a smile and glanced at Zhou Fan defiantly.
What can you do if you bloom a lotus, you don't have to be a coolie obediently.
Lin Guangcheng's family didn't say anything, and they didn't feel very comfortable in their hearts, although it was just a trivial matter, but the old lady's partiality was too obvious!
