Chapter 219: The Banquet
Not only Lin Xin'er feels like this, Zhou Ye has been like this since he was a child, his family was very strict with him to make him so good, and all the best educational resources were inclined to him, which made him what he is now. Eight Chinese Net
It's just that the pressure of his family and the ideas he has been instilled in since childhood have been ingrained, and they have also created the character he is today.
He also wants to break free from the cage and pursue his dreams, such as his own career and his own marriage, but he has never resisted successfully for so many years, and now he is proud of his family and his responsibilities.
He put his arm around Lin Xin'er's waist: "Okay, you go to put on makeup first, you can't be rude at the dinner party for a while." ”
Lin Xin'er couldn't help but get nervous, although she was also from a family, her family's education was very different from Zhou Ye's, and she admired the people ~ the Lord more at home.
Although she has been taught very strictly since she was a child, she was educated by her good wife and mother, and perhaps their family's thinking is more conservative and feudal, which has created her current character.
But because of this, she and Zhou Ye can complement each other's personalities, one is strong and the other is weak.
A machismo, a little daughter's mood, although Lin Xin'er also has her own arrogance, but she believes in her mind that Zhou Ye is taking her husband as the key link, so that they can live well now these two people who were originally forced together.
Lin Xin'er went to the second floor, where a hairstylist was waiting for him, Lin Xin'er changed into a set of evening dresses that she had prepared, and Zhou Ye's matching blue was the same style.
The hairstylist helped her put her hair in a high bun, with a small layer of mesh, and a little crown decoration on the top of her hair, so that she had a high highlight on the top of her head and looked taller.
Her parents will also come today, which also makes her a little nervous, her parents still have some complaints about her marriage at that time, but she was planted with all her heart, and the family did not block it.
Fortunately, now is a better ending, she looks at her bright and moving self in the mirror, and she believes that her parents will be relieved.
"Xin'er, the guest has arrived, come to the door to greet you." Zhou's mother shouted downstairs, and Lin Xin'er hurriedly put on her high heels and ran downstairs.
Her evening dress was covered with broken diamonds, and this dress alone was worth hundreds of thousands.
This is a piece of clothing in her closet, she usually doesn't need to wear these to work, she is a little unaccustomed to wearing them for a long time, the size of the clothes is appropriate, but the pair of pointed heels made her feet hurt badly after standing for a while.
Zhou Ye had already welcomed the guests in and began to greet them, and the most important thing he talked to them about was the current economic situation and the business exchanges between the two sides.
Laughter and appreciative voices kept coming from the living room: "Our President Zhou is getting more and more powerful now, and you are the one who can see things so thoroughly." ”
The corners of Lin Xin'er's lips are hooked, this is her husband, and he is the focus of the crowd wherever he goes.
"Xin'er." A pair of middle-aged men and women dressed up to attend, got out of the car from the door, and walked slowly.
Lin Xin'er was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward: "Parents." ”
"Let my mother take a good look, I haven't seen you for so long, and my complexion is still good. @ ”
Mom grabbed Lin Xin'er's hand tightly at the door: "How is it?" How are you getting along with Zhou Ye now? Can you get used to his tough nature? ”
Lin Xin'er smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Mom, what did you say?" Where did he toughen up? The two of us are fine. ”
Zhou Ye didn't know when it came out: "Mom and Dad, you are here, Xin'er misses you, when you don't know, Xin'er has become a finger twister, wrapping me tightly around her fingertips." ”
Mother Lin and Father Lin both laughed, Zhou Ye's hand wrapped around Lin Xin'er's waist, and Lin Xin'er lowered her head shyly.
"It's good to see the two of you well, Zhou Ye, after Xin'er and you live together, she has grown up a lot, and she will go to work by herself, we were all worried before."
"yes, she didn't tell me before, but she's doing a good job now, and I'm proud of her."
Lin Xin'er heard Zhou Ye praise herself in front of outsiders for the first time, and she held Zhou Ye's hand.
, shook it twice hard, and winked playfully at him in a place where others couldn't see it.
The dinner officially began, a total of six families came, about 20 people gathered on a long table, the scene was very lively.
Even Father Zhou changed his usual serious appearance, his eyebrows and eyes were a lot gentler, and everyone here was staggered, the scene was all acquaintances in a circle, and this meal was very lively. _o_m
Everyone's topic revolved around the family's business and the cultivation of their children, and Zhou Ye and Lin Xin'er naturally received a lot of praise.
An uncle picked up a wine glass and walked to Zhou Ye's side.
Zhou Ye hurriedly stood up: "Uncle Wang, I should go to pay tribute to you." ”
This Uncle Wang had obviously drunk a little too much, he pressed Zhou Ye's shoulder and asked him to sit on the chair: "What are you polite to me, I have watched you grow up since I was a child, I still remember the way you wore open crotch pants when you were a child, just a little bit taller." ”
His right hand holding the wine glass fell directly to his knee, and Zhou Ye also smiled when he heard him talk about his childhood: "Yes, I always circled around Uncle Wang at that time. ”
"It's all grown so big now." Uncle Wang sighed: "Old Zhou, are we all old? Behind this is the world of young people. ”
Everyone around said, "Where, Lao Wang, you should be old and strong, and you can work for another ten years." ”
Uncle Wang took the wine glass and shook it from side to side, and the wine almost spilled.
Zhou Ye hurriedly helped Uncle Wang hold his wine glass, and Uncle Wang let go: "You see I haven't drunk a few glasses of wine, I'm already getting drunk, you look at other young people, their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating, this look is practiced in the bank." ”
Zhou Ye stood up and hugged Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, what you said is really right, there are not many others in the bank, there is really a lot of drinking, I have not only practiced drinking, I have even practiced staying up late." ”
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Uncle Wang put his wine glass on the table heavily: "You see this is your mistake, there was an accident in your family back then, and you worked in the bank, so forget it, now that everything is stable in the family, why are you still holding on to the position of the president of the bank?" Isn't the family's business fragrant? Your family is still relying on your mom and dad. How old are they, you see your father still has to sit in a wheelchair now, he was the one who could cross the Yangtze River back then, and now? ”
The people next to him listened, and they all knew that this Uncle Wang was really drunk, and Zhou's mother hurriedly came up to play a round and wanted to pull Uncle Wang back to her seat.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang directly pulled away Zhou's mother's hand: "Don't be upset, isn't what I said what you want to say?" You said that your family has such a big business, you are such a son as Zhou Ye, if you don't hand it over to him, who will you hand it over? ”
"Do you still think you really want him to work in the bank all the time? The most important thing for him now is to come back and take over the family business, which is what he is most filial to. ”
Mother Zhou had a smile on her face, as if she didn't care about what Uncle Wang said.
She finally pulled the uncle back to her seat, and then put a small bowl of Yangchun noodles in front of him: "Okay, you can eat quickly, so many dishes haven't blocked your mouth yet." ”
Others also hurried up to persuade them, they knew that Uncle Wang had just said a knot in the hearts of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother.
But after all, this is a family affair of the Zhou family, and they really can't say anything, but this is indeed the case in this circle, if the child does not inherit his father's business, is this still a child?
After sitting down, Uncle Wang wanted to say something, but the people next to him stuffed his mouth with food, they all knew that this was the Zhou family's party, and they were at a very sensitive moment, and after mentioning it, wasn't it equivalent to stabbing Zhou's father and mother in the heart?
Lin Xin'er was a little anxious watching all this from the side, Mother Lin held her hand and glanced at her, this matter is not something that her daughter-in-law can interject.
After the dinner was over, a group of people in the living room played cards, some started to play chess, and some went to the side to play billiards.
Zhou Ye chatted with several children of the family.
"Brother Ye, how are you now? It's a little far away from us, and you can only see your style on the web page. ”
Zhou Ye gently shook the red sprinkler cup in his hand, and the red wine rippled slightly along the wall of the cup: "What else?" work ratio.
Busy, more things, every day entangled in the innovation of the banking business and the completion of performance. @*~~”
"Brother Ye, I envy you so much, you can have your own life choices, unlike us who can only guard this property at home, do it well, that's how it should be, do it badly, then you have to be smoked by your parents." The person who spoke was a college classmate of Zhou Ye, who was also his iron buddy at the time, and after graduating from college, he went home to inherit the family business, and did not develop in the bank like Zhou Ye.
"What is there to envy, at least your family won't trouble you anymore."
His buddy smiled: "Don't take what Uncle Wang said to heart just now, although the family wants you to come back to inherit the family business, but in fact, everyone has their own choice, you see I was forced to do it, in fact, I don't want to do this at all." But who made us born without a choice? ”
Another person came up and interjected: "This is what you don't want, I don't want to, since I was a child, our family's family business has to be guarded by me, you say that you can rest assured if you hand it over to an outsider." Although it is a little tired and hard, but I have been familiar with it since I was a child, I know how to manage a business, and I have learned this from childhood to adulthood, do you still want me to change careers in the future? ”
The three of them chose three different paths, some were willing, some were chasing ducks to the shelves, and Zhou Ye chose another different path because of chance.
Zhou Ye took a sip of the red wine in his hand: "Many things are a dilemma, you asked me to come back and inherit the family business, it seems unrealistic now." ”
His buddy also took a sip of red wine: "Don't talk like this, you've been wandering outside for long enough, I guess this banquet is also a temptation for your parents to get you back." ”
Zhou Ye saw his mother who was playing mahjong in the hall, and his father who was sitting next to him and chatting with others, the two of them were silent on the surface, but Zhou Ye knew in his heart that after all the guests left, it was the real beginning.
