As soon as Jiang Qiulin said these words, the atmosphere immediately felt awkward. shu mark 玷癞癹
The words themselves are actually nothing. It is normal for a family to ask each other if they have any difficulties and help those who can. But the problem lies in the person speaking.
Jiang Qiulin has always been someone who just enjoys the cool and watching the theater when she has nothing to do with her own business. Ever since she married into the Xia family and before her husband started a business, the most common thing the couple did was go back to their hometown and complain to the elderly about their poverty and ask for some pension money. Now that the family has some savings, she has never heard of her asking her parents-in-law if they need anything. Today, she suddenly asked about Li Juan, which made people stunned.
Li Juan smiled and glanced at Xia Shao, "Our Xiaoshao has never been a spendthrift, and the school has waived tuition fees and also has scholarships. The school is a boarding school, so I don't think it will cost much. "
Jiang Qiulin gave Li Juan a funny look and fiddled with the jade bracelet she just bought on her wrist. "Sister-in-law, you really think too simply. How much money can the scholarship cost? How much living expenses can it cover? Qingshi is the provincial capital and a developed city. , the people are also fashionable, and there are many new and interesting things. It is inevitable for classmates to go out and have fun. When people spend money, can our Xiaoshao just watch? When the time comes, others will have it, but our Xiaoshao will not, no. Calling someone a joke?"
Li Juan was stunned when she heard this, and felt that it made sense. She couldn't help but look at her daughter, her eyes full of worry and a little guilty. This child has been sensible since she was a child. It's all because she and her husband are too ordinary and incapable to create better conditions for her. She has been loved at home since she was a child, and her academic performance is good. If she is looked down upon because her food and clothing are not as good as others, how uncomfortable will the child feel
Xia Shao lowered her eyes when she heard her aunt's words at first, but now she saw the apology in her mother's eyes, she frowned slightly and pursed her lips. This was her customary expression when she was unhappy, but before she could speak, her father Xia Zhiyuan spoke.
"Our children can't, I'm confident about this. Xiao Shao has been sensible since she was a child, and we have never had to worry about her studies. This child is kind-hearted. Over the years, she has even been able to visit the old man on the mountain behind the village often. . It shows that this child is kind-hearted and filial and is a good child. I don’t believe that such a child would despise the family’s poverty. Although Juan’er and I are not capable, we love her no less. My daughter, I have confidence.”
Xia Zhiyuan spoke in a serious tone. This celebratory banquet was supposed to be a festive and joyful atmosphere, but the taste changed before the food was even served.
The whole family could tell that Xia Zhiyuan's tone was a bit sad and angry. He had always been honest and honest, and he was kind and gentle to everyone he met. Today, he suddenly said such sad and angry words. The whole family was a little uncomfortable with it, and the atmosphere became even more embarrassing.
Xia Shao looked at her father. She was so moved that she couldn't help but purse her lips tighter.
Grandma Jiang Shuhui couldn't stand listening any more. She frowned and said, "Qiulin, it's not what Mom said to you. Your eldest brother invited the whole family to dinner today just to celebrate Xiao Shaozi. Okay, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Qiulin smiled a little awkwardly. When her husband glared at her, she smiled and said, "Mom, look at what you said. You don't know me yet? I always say what I say and I am straightforward. Isn't this also a kind question? Just ask, how could you know that elder brother and sister-in-law don’t like to hear it..."
"Who wants to hear it? What kind of banquet are you inviting today? Let the family talk about it." Jiang Shuhui has a soft temper. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said a few words.
"Mom, I think Qiulin is right. It is right for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to invite us to the table today, but they are all a family, so it doesn't matter. Everything has pros and cons. I really think it is so easy for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to go to study outside. ?" At this time, Xia Shao's aunt Xia Zhimei spoke. She was a teacher at Dongshi No. 1 Middle School and was now the director of the Education Department. Originally, she spoke like a lecture, very serious, but now she is even more dignified. "Brother, please don't listen. How many years have I been teaching students in school? I know the thoughts of these students best! Who among today's children doesn't compare with others? This is the age of adolescence. They love to play, have poor self-control, and are curious about everything. Do you think it’s okay for children to study outside? Qingshi is the provincial capital city, and there are many new things. When the parents are not around and no one cares about them, the children will easily learn bad things."
Then, Xia Zhimei gave a few examples, saying that some students from rural towns who were admitted to the school felt inferior after seeing the life and expenses of urban children, and they asked their families for money in various ways, all their thoughts were focused on Out of comparison, academic performance also plummeted.
What she said was reasonable and well-founded. The joy on Li Juan's face had long since disappeared, and she looked at her daughter with more and more worry. My daughter has been well-behaved since she was a child. If she goes out to study and learns badly, she might as well study in Dongshi No. 1 Middle School. I thought it would be a good thing to go to Qingshi, but why are there so many things to worry about
"Then my daughter went to Qingshi. According to what you said, it was still a mistake?" Xia Zhiyuan frowned. What the eldest sister said made sense, and he knew it in his heart, but no matter what happened in the future, at least it was a happy event for his child to be admitted to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School. He was hosting a banquet today to celebrate this happy event.
Can't you tell your children to be happy today? If you want to talk about these things, you can't just spend today's banquet and talk about it again when you go home
Do you have to say it today
Seeing that her eldest brother was angry, Xia Zhimei softened her tone, "Of course it's a good thing that Xiao Shao was admitted to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School. We are just helping the eldest brother analyze it. You can also consider the situation at home to see if the child is suitable. It’s a good time to leave home and study outside.”
"What the second sister said makes sense." Uncle Xia Zhitao nodded and said, "Brother, in today's society, if you are bullied, you don't have the ability to speak out. The school is also a small society. If Xiao Shao is bullied in school, , if other parents are more capable than us, we won’t even have a place to reason with our children! Just like you were beaten at the factory gate last year, you hit the wrong person, just pay some medical bills and it’s over? What if you were a respectable person? Man, if someone recognizes you at a glance, how can he hit the wrong person? Even if he hits us, we still have the ability to make things difficult for the other person! Look at my eldest brother-in-law."
Xia Zhitao looked at Xia Zhimei's husband Liu Chunhui as he spoke, "How big is the eldest brother-in-law's business? There is an oil processing plant at home, and now he has set up a factory. He has signed a contract with a domestic first-tier brand car company to produce accessories. In our case Dongshi belongs to those who have a good reputation. Think about it, if the eldest brother-in-law is beaten by someone, how will the other party fare better? Let alone the eldest brother-in-law, just say it's me. Now in the building materials market, no one doesn't know me. Who doesn't know me? If he dares to bully me, he will have to weigh it!"
Liu Chunhui hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, pretending to be humble, but his face was red.
Xia Zhitao continued: "I heard that eldest brother's factory has been in recession in the past two years, right? Many people have left and found other jobs. Why is eldest brother still guarding such a factory that can't even pay wages? In today's society, Change requires people to work hard! Only when you stand out can you be respected by others, and your wife and children will not be bullied."
Xia Zhitao's words were fierce, and the atmosphere at the table was even more silent.
Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan's faces turned red after being talked about. Xia Zhiyuan was a little angry at first, but now he was silent.
Xia Shao frowned slightly and sighed inwardly. My uncle’s words cannot be said to be unreasonable. This is indeed the social reality. They didn't know the details of her father's beating, so naturally they didn't know that she had found the place for him. If she had not had these abilities in her previous life, how could she have fought for hundreds of millions of days? Where can I establish my authority in the East City underworld
If my father had been beaten in my previous life, I would have definitely suffered the loss. How could someone else go to the hospital with supplements in person to apologize and pay the medical bills
Brother-in-law Xia Zhitao is the youngest in the Xia family. His parents, brothers and sisters have doted on him since he was a child, but he is also the least useful. When Xia Zhiyuan was the workshop director of the factory and Xia Zhimei was teaching in the high school, in the eyes of the villagers, he was still "the idle young son of the old Xia family". He asked the elderly for money all day long and was often criticized behind the back by the villagers. point. Now that his career has finally improved and he has made some great achievements, people around him have begun to look at him with admiration, please, praise, compliment... This change, the huge gap between the past and now, may have made him this way. A life experience.
Xia Zhitao's words may sound a bit utilitarian, but based on his own experience, they are not exaggerated.
But Xia Shao always believed that it would be unpleasant to say these words on today's occasion. Even if relatives at home feel the need to remind their parents about these words, can't they say it between the two of them in private? Do you have to pour cold water on your parents when they are happy? Can't we just let them enjoy the joy of this day? Is it aggrieved to have to ask them to spend money to treat guests
The same words, if two brothers or two brothers and sisters said this in private, it would make people feel sincere. But at the banquet, saying this in front of a large family, while the juniors were still there, not only ruined the atmosphere, but also made people feel a bit high-profile.
It has a long history that people in the world welcome the high and despise the low. Whether you want to admit it or not, there are indeed many such situations among people in society. But outsiders are outsiders, and they are outsiders after all. Xia Shao really can't bear to bring this habit home, even to his own family members.
Seeing that her parents were being lectured so hard that they couldn't say a word, Xia Shao raised her eyes and looked at her brother-in-law Xia Zhitao.
"My uncle's words cannot be miscalculated. People have to work hard, but they must know that there are people outside the world. In this world, no matter how successful you are, no matter how high you stand, there will always be people who are more successful than you. Not everyone welcomes those who stand above you. Low, contemptuous or friendly, this has nothing to do with status, but with each person's cultivation."
She has a calm demeanor, and her words are neither sharp nor sarcastic, unhurried, elegant, and peaceful.
This demeanor made the silent family members stunned and couldn't help but look at her.
"What Auntie said is not wrong, but it is still true. Not everyone will lose themselves, it depends on everyone's character."
Facing the gazes of all the elders, Xia Shao sat calmly, leaning back leisurely on the chair, which seemed a bit unfazed.
She is the younger member of the family. In the eyes of her elders, she is still a child, has good grades, is sensible, and is a good girl who does not need to worry about her parents. She is not as glib as her cousin Liu Yuguang, who is best at making the elders happy, nor is she as wild-tempered as her cousin Zhang Ruman, who often gets into fights with boys and gets into trouble. She has a quiet temperament, a serene smile, and doesn't talk much. Among the children of her generation, she can be said to be the most in line with the parents' requirements for a good child, but she is the most like a backdrop and has the least sense of existence.
Just like today, although this banquet was to celebrate her entering high school, no one actually paid attention to her, and they had even forgotten her existence.
No one in the old Xia family expected that Xia Shao would speak on such an occasion, and even refute the elders' words.
Although it was a rebuttal, it did not make anyone feel uncomfortable. Her words were not sharp and confrontational, but because of this, they made her look a bit like a noble person in the room. The group of relatives who are running against Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan appear to be completely philistine.
Li Juan secretly tugged at the corner of her daughter's clothes, winked at her and told her to stop talking. She and her husband were fine with being scolded, but they didn't want their daughter to become the target of public criticism and be besieged and lectured by the whole family.
Xia Shao smiled and patted the back of her mother's hand to comfort her.
At this time, a shout of cheers came from beside me!
Zhang Ruman clapped her hands and said, "What my sister said makes sense! Not everyone thinks the same as you, and not everyone will be the kind of person you say. You have this kind of cultivation and mentality, don't think others do too!"
She had been listening to the anger for a long time, but her aunt and uncle were talking endlessly, so she couldn't get a word in for a while. When her cousin said this, she was the first to support her. But she felt that her cousin was too well-mannered and she would not be angry with these people without giving them a slap in the face!
So, Zhang Ruman glanced at Jiang Qiulin, who was enjoying the cool weather and watching the show because of the trouble. Her sun-tanned face had clear black and white eyes, and she sneered: "If others have something that I don't have, I will be laughed at. That little aunt Haven’t you been laughed at for many years?”
Naturally, she was referring to the previous family conditions of Xia Zhitao's family. Even a fool could understand this, and Jiang Qiulin's face immediately turned red. She didn't expect to be slapped in the face by a junior, and was a little confused.
Xia Zhitao came to his senses and immediately frowned and shouted: "Ru Man! How do you talk? No big or small!"
"Am I older or younger?" Zhang Ruman snorted in a funny voice, "You are the same, uncle, right? You are almost training your uncle to be a grandson! If I remember correctly, he is your eldest brother, right?"
Xia Zhitao was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and Xia Zhimei also frowned. Although this was not said to her, it was a slap that also slapped her.
Xia Zhitao's face turned green and red. He slapped the table angrily and stood up. He looked at Xia Zhiqin and said, "Third sister, do you care about your daughter?"
Xia Zhiqin quickly frowned and pulled her daughter, scolding her in a low voice, "Ruman! Stop saying a few words! When the adults are talking, when is it your turn to interrupt?"
"Third sister, I told you at the beginning that when children study outside, they become wild as time goes by. Do you believe it now? Ruman's character is hard to control, but now I think you can't control it. "Xia Zhimei said with a serious face, looking at her son as she spoke, "Look at our Yu Guang, I have been strict with him since he was a child. Look at the conversation between the elders at the banquet today, did he say anything?"
Liu Yuguang is 18 years old, a senior in high school in Dongshi No. 1 Middle School. He is 1.8 meters tall and quite handsome. He is sitting in his seat with a smile on his lips and his hands folded on his lower abdomen. He looks like a young man. , excellent education.
But with the atmosphere in the room at this time, his smile made people somewhat uncomfortable.
The focus of the banquet was turned on Zhang Ruman. Xia Shao couldn't help but glance at her aunts and uncles, and her eyes paused on the face of her grandfather Xia Guoxi.
Xia Guoxi has always regarded himself as the head of the family, but in today's situation, he didn't say a word.
Xia Shao lowered her eyes. Even though she had cultivated her Qi and cultivated her body over the years, no matter how good her mood was, she couldn't help but feel depressed at this moment. At this time, the waiter came in and started serving the dishes, and Xia Shao said: "Today is a celebration banquet invited by my parents for me. Aunts, uncles, aunts, if you have anything to say, please enjoy today. Please tell me to eat well today." A meal, okay?"
She didn't even raise her eyes, and her tone was no longer indifferent as before, but a bit cold. This made the whole family stunned. It seemed that for the first time in so many years, they knew that this child still had a temper.
Xia Zhitao sat down, still angry, and laughed, "Okay, okay. Big brother and sister-in-law, I have said what I should say anyway. I originally wanted to say that if there is any difficulty at home, brothers can help. Since If you don’t like to hear it, then I won’t say anything, and don’t say in the future that my brothers don’t have the heart to help.”
"Alas! Good advice is hard on the ears." Xia Zhimei sighed and shook his head.
Xia Shao frowned again, are these people finished
She has tried to persuade her twice, but don’t you understand
Maybe it’s not that you don’t understand, but that you listen but don’t take in. In the eyes of these uncles and aunts, their family is like a soft persimmon that can be beaten casually, and anyone can pinch it and teach them a lesson.
You listened, that's what it should be. If you don't listen, then your advice is offensive and you are not open-minded enough.
"Yes, good advice is off-putting." Xia Shao smiled, but her smile turned cold. "In this case, Ru Man's good advice is off-putting, so why can't uncle and aunt listen to it?"
She looked at Jiang Qiulin first and said, "Aunt, my parents can afford me to study, so you don't have to worry about it. If you have this intention, please take good care of my uncle. Now that men are rich, there are a lot of people messing around outside. It's unfortunate. Yes, you met such a person."
Jiang Qiulin's expression changed, and she was stunned for a while before realizing the meaning of Xia Shao's words. Of course she didn't know that Xia Shao could tell that Xia Zhitao was having an affair from his appearance. She just thought that Xia Zhitao was fooling around outside behind her back and was accidentally seen by Xia Shao. She frowned, and regardless of Xia Shao's disrespect for her as an elder, she immediately glared at Xia Zhitao accusingly.
Xia Zhitao's heart pounded. Faced with the looks from the two old men, his brother-in-law, and his sister-in-law, Xia Zhitao slammed the table and stood up angrily, "What did you say!"
"It doesn't matter what I say. What's important is that my uncle has a clear conscience. Let me remind my uncle that you can't touch a word of sex. Be careful not to lose your life and wealth, and your wife and children will be separated." Xia Shao raised the corners of her lips with a smile, "Please be sure to listen to what I say, since my words are hard on your ears."
Xia Zhitao pressed his big hands on the table, his lips trembling with anger and his hands trembling as well.
Xia Shao ignored him and turned to look at Xia Zhimei with a leisurely expression, "Aunt, my dad is your eldest brother. Please don't bring your way of teaching students in school back home. He is not your student. ,Thanks."
After that, she glanced at the elders and smiled, "Maybe what I said offended my uncles, aunts, and aunts, but good advice is hard on the ears. I think you understand my painstaking efforts. We are all a family. Regardless of the occasion, I It shouldn’t matter if you want to talk about this. Okay, now that we’ve finished talking, let’s have dinner.”
She smiled and pointed at the dishes on the table, but no one moved their chopsticks.
The whole family stared at her in shock, as if they didn't recognize her.
Even Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan had their mouths open. This was the first time they saw their daughter like this - they could see that her daughter was treating others the same way as others! Regardless of whether what she said about Zitao was true or not, the words she said about "loyalty" and "it's nothing to talk about as a family" were just words that Zhimei used to undermine the couple
My daughter can't stand it and is helping them vent their anger!
Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan looked at each other, feeling moved and distressed at the same time. Their daughter had always been well-behaved. When had she ever contradicted her elders? If she hadn't been forced today, would she have been like this
Xia Zhimei laughed angrily, "Okay, they are promising. These are all children from our old Xia family, and they are all very well-educated!"
"What kind of upbringing does she have! All her studies are in vain! What can she do if she passes the provincial key exam? Does the school accept students with this kind of character?" I'll spare you my pain, but why are you talking to me like this today? What do you mean losing your life and wealth, leaving your wife and children? Is this what a junior said? You have to speak clearly to me today!"
Xia Zhitao was really angry. He slapped the table so loudly that all the soup on the table spilled out.
No one thought that a good meal would turn into this.
The room was quiet, but Xia Shao sat firmly and looked relaxed from beginning to end. This made Xia Zhitao even more furious. He pointed at Xia Shao with trembling fingers, "Stand up! How dare you sit down when the elders ask you?"
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows, but instead of getting up, she leaned back in her chair again, with an unclear smile on her lips. Not only did she dare to sit still, she also wanted to see how long Xia Zhitao could keep pretending. There was a black line at the corner of his eyes, the roots of the mountains were variegated, and the philtrum was slightly red. It was obvious that he was having an affair, and it hadn't been too long.
In the last life, my uncle Xia Zhitao finally divorced his aunt and married a mistress. When his aunt left, he didn't even ask for his daughter. The custody rights went to Xia Zhitao, but he was not very kind to this daughter. Xia Rongxue was not less affected by her stepmother. and the bullying of my sister.
Based on this alone, Xia Shao had always had a bad impression of her uncle. Seeing that he was so good at acting today, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart and sat still - she wanted to see Xia Zhitao, who no one in the building materials market dared to offend. Boss, what can you do to her, your biological niece
However, Xia Zhitao felt that Xia Shao was obviously provoking him. He felt that he was losing face and his blood was rushing to his head. He immediately left his seat and walked towards Xia Shao angrily.
But as soon as he took two steps, there was a group of people at the door of the private room who had finished eating and drinking. They had just come out and passed by and were going downstairs. When I walked to the door, I saw a man walking towards a girl angrily. It seemed that there was a bit of conflict. The man couldn't help but take a second look.
At this glance, he couldn't help but fixate his gaze on the girl's profile!
"Miss Xia?"
Xia Shao turned around.
Xia Zhitao stopped and the whole family looked at the door. When they saw the group of people standing at the door, the expressions of Xia Zhitao, Xia Zhimei and Liu Chunhui changed first!
At the door, Deputy Mayor Liu Jingquan stood among a group of about twenty people. Next to him stood Chen Manguan, the owner of Fu Ruixiang Antique Shop, Sun Changde, the general manager of Huaxia Auction Company, Zhao Tingguang, the owner of Zhao's Folk Kiln, and some others. Without exception, they are prominent figures in Dongshi! Moreover, among these people, there are actually many famous business owners in the province!
They stood at the door, looking into the private room at the same time.
The call "Miss Xia" made Lao Xia's family stunned. Who is this called
Xia Zhimei straightened her clothes and stood up, looking slightly embarrassed. She naturally knew that the name "Miss Xia" was referring to a woman from the Xia family, but she didn't think she had the dignity to allow the deputy mayor to stop and say hello.
Then... could it be my sister Xia Zhiqin
But although Xia Zhiqin's husband is a company-level cadre, she is just a factory employee, so she shouldn't have such dignity.
The only remaining Xia family women are Xia Shao and Xia Rongxue. Both are children, one is sixteen years old and the other is only six years old. This...can't be the two of them, right? If true, that would be kind of funny.
Just when everyone in the old Xia family was so shocked by this scene that they couldn't react, Xia Shao stood up and walked towards the door.
"Hello, Mayor Liu."
When Liu Jingquan saw that he recognized the right person, he immediately laughed, shook hands with Xia Shao, and said cordially: "It's really Miss Xia. I thought I saw the wrong person, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xia Shao nodded with a smile and glanced at Chen Manguan and Sun Changde, who nodded to her. In fact, Xia Shao knew that tonight's dinner was for the summer auction in more than a month. Sun Changde has already organized all the people involved. Not only people from the city and province are coming to this auction, but also famous people from all walks of life across the country have received invitations. Among these people, there are some scholars who have been eyeing Fu Ruixiang's blue and white market as early as a year ago, and plan to take advantage of the time when the auction items are on display to visit and broaden their horizons.
Tonight, Sun Changde first invited several well-known bosses from Dongshi and the province to dinner. Liu Jingquan, the deputy mayor in charge of Dongshi's economy, was naturally on the dinner list.
Xia Shao's identity has not yet been made public, and her parents were hosting a celebration party for her tonight, so she did not attend. Unexpectedly, they finished eating first and met each other when they came out.
Xia Shao glanced at the twenty or so people, and she actually knew half of them. These people have come to her for more than a year to check their Feng Shui fortunes.
Therefore, when these people saw Xia Shao, they immediately greeted her warmly. The others didn't know what was going on. After asking the people around them in a low voice, their expressions changed! They have all heard of Xia Shao's name in the circle. This Feng Shui master is quite advanced! Divination and divination of fortune and formation are very effective!
These people greeted Xia Shao enthusiastically and handed over their business cards. Although Feng Shui is a mysterious thing, business people would rather believe that it exists. Who doesn’t have difficulties in investing? It's also good to ask for advice.
"Hello, Miss Xia, I am Ma Yuncai, the boss of Hengyu Real Estate, and this is Chairman Wang of Jinhu Group."
While listening to the bosses introducing themselves, Xia Shao politely accepted the business cards from them.
"What is Miss Xia doing tonight?" At this time, Zhao Tingguang, the owner of Zhao's Kiln, looked into the private room and asked with a smile. He is Zhao Jing's uncle, and he is not familiar with Xia Shao, but he doesn't mind being thick-skinned and pretending to be familiar. Some time ago, his younger brother's family encountered bad luck, and the company collapsed. He saw with his own eyes that a company that was doing well failed in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but feel that the mall was like a battlefield. Today I met this Feng Shui master who is well-known in the upper class circles of Dongshi City. I have established a good relationship with him and may be able to help him in the future.
Xia Shao smiled slightly and didn't care. The grudge between her and the Xu and Zhao families was over, and she would no longer make things difficult for their relatives and friends. So, she replied: "Nothing, let's have a celebration banquet with the family."
"Celebration banquet?"
"Ouch! I remembered it." Deputy Mayor Liu Jingquan looked suddenly enlightened and said with a smile, "I have been so busy these days that I forgot about it. Recently, our city's high school entrance examination has just ended, and two Miss Xia is one of the top scorers in the high school entrance examination."
A group of bosses immediately looked at Xia Shao in surprise, then smiled and congratulated and praised him.
Xia Shao just accepted the congratulations with a smile, without any hint of pride. This kind of calm demeanor made a group of bosses secretly dumbfounded - at this age, it is rare to have such a character!
"I remember that Qingshi No. 1 Middle School came to our place to recruit people. Has Miss Xia agreed to go to Qingshi to study?" Liu Jingquan asked.
"I have decided to go to Qingshi." Xia Shao nodded and smiled. She went to Qingshi not only to study, but also to develop her own company. She wants to open Fu Ruixiang and Huaxia Auction Company to Qingshi, not only Qingshi, but also expand further in the future.
"Qingshi? That would be great!"
At this time, a loud voice came. The boss who spoke had a round face, a tall body, and a loud laugh. He was the same state-owned enterprise boss who personally drove to Dongshi to ask Xia Shao for a Feng Shui consultation. However, it was the weekend and he was in Dongshi until Monday before meeting her.
This boss's name is Xiong Huaixing. He is rumored to have a bad temper, but in fact he is a shrewd businessman and is generous with others. It's just that he has big eyes, a broad nose, a rough appearance, and speaks in a loud voice, which is very misleading.
Xiong Huaixing laughed, "Great! My old bear is in Qingshi! Then won't it be more convenient for me to see Miss Xia in the future? Great! Miss Xia, when will school start? Tell me, old bear, when you arrive in Qingshi I'll take care of you!"
Several bosses from Dongshi had grimaces on their faces - they are close to you, but far away from us. After that, it was their turn to drive to Qingshi.
The group of bosses greeted Xia Shao, and then realized that the delay was too long, which affected her ability to eat with her family. They felt a little embarrassed, and then they politely asked her to go back and take a seat, and the group planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, when these bosses were walking towards the stairs, Deputy Mayor Liu Jingquan seemed a little hesitant. He looked at Xia Shao, looking hesitant, as if he had something to say.
Xia Shao smiled meaningfully and said, "Mayor Liu, please take a step to speak."
There was a potted plant at the corner of the second floor of the hotel. Xia Shao and Liu Jingquan walked over. There was no one around. Xia Shao then smiled and said: "Mayor Liu, the official Lugong is green in color and has light eyebrows. He has been involved in official scandals recently and committed minor crimes." people."
In Xia Shao's memory, Liu Jingquan was pushed out of the stage during this period in his previous life. At that time, she still remembered her father saying that because Vice Mayor Liu had good political achievements in the economic field and had a good reputation, there must be something fishy about his resignation. But at that time, how would Xia Shao know the details? She even thought her father was overthinking it.
But now when I look at it, it turns out that I was the villain.
In fact, as early as Xia Shao saw that the person coming was Liu Jingquan, she already guessed why he was greeting her. People in the officialdom have always cared about status. Since ancient times, power has always come before money. In the eyes of officials, businessmen are always inferior to them. After all, Liu Jingquan was the deputy mayor. He came to greet her personally, and enthusiastically told her about her admission to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, allowing herself to receive a lot of praise. This was obviously a good sign to herself.
Liu Jingquan knew Xia Shao's identity as a Feng Shui master. Although Feng Shui matters are revered by people, in the domestic situation, they can never be publicly acknowledged. Officials cherish their reputation. If this big label of feudal superstition is thrown off, Liu Jingquan cannot bear it, and it will definitely be a stain on his official career. Among the politicians who usually come to Xia Shao to check their Feng Shui fortune, which one doesn't avoid coming and leaving
But Liu Jingquan came to greet Xia Shao in front of so many people, which showed that he was really in a desperate situation.
Xia Shao's heart was like a mirror, so before Liu Jingquan asked, he took him to a remote place and opened his mouth to clarify.
As early as last year at the auction, Liu Jingquan saw Xia Shao make Li Boyuan give up a piece of Jun kiln porcelain. At that time, he was still thinking that this girl was so young, how could she talk like a magician? It was not until the second half of last year that Xia Shao became famous among the upper-class circles of Dongcheng City and became more and more popular. Liu Jingquan was shocked to realize that this Feng Shui thing was really real.
At that time, he was just confused, but had no intention of trying it. But this year it was the turn of Dongcheng's leadership team to change. He could have been re-elected, but with his keen political sense, he felt something was wrong.
In the leadership team, the two forces have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. Liu Jingquan originally had a great chance of winning, but recently he has been losing again and again. He has been made a fuss about in many places. He secretly feels that he has become the target of public criticism, and all the spearheads are pointed at him. This made Liu Jingquan aware of a slight crisis, but the change of leadership was imminent and he was overturned. He wanted to fight back but was unable to make a comeback. Only then, when he had no other options, did he think of Xia Shao.
Moreover, Liu Jingquan was in charge of the economic affairs of Dongshi City. During this auction, he learned a shocking thing—the boss behind Fu Ruixiang Antique Shop and Huaxia Auction Company was actually Xia Shao
Chen Manguan and Sun Changde informed him of this matter, and of course they asked him to keep it secret for the time being, but they would not hide it from him, the deputy mayor in charge of the economy.
This really shocked Liu Jingquan. With this girl's age and family... how did she do it
Regardless of how she did it, she did it, and she did it brilliantly. Such a girl has profound attainments in metaphysics, which makes Liu Jingquan feel somewhat credible.
Only then did he decide to come to Xia Shao to give it a try, and that's why he put down his official authority today and greeted him warmly. But she didn't expect that before she could open her mouth, she would see the purpose of his visit and conclude that he was involved in an official affair!
You must know that no matter how hard the leadership team fights about the change of leadership, they will always be cooperative and happy in the eyes of the people. Therefore, these things are not obvious and it is impossible for Xia Shao to know. She said that she had an official crime and committed a crime, which was definitely obvious!
"Miss Xia, what do you mean when you say I'm a villain?" Liu Jingquan asked seriously.
Xia Shao shook her head, "You can only tell so much from your face. Mayor Liu, I want to find a convenient time and want to visit your home and office."
Liu Jingquan thought for a while and nodded.
Xia Shao gave him her personal mobile phone number and asked him to call her at a time when no one was around, and then returned to her private room.
As soon as she entered, it was quiet inside, and everyone in the family stared at her.
After seeing what happened just now, how could anyone in the Xia family still remember the quarrel and anger? Xia Zhitao seemed to have forgotten that he wanted to rush over to teach Xia Shao, a junior, a lesson just now. Xia Zhimei also forgot her educational words. When everyone saw Xia Shao sitting down, they began to ask what happened just now.
That's the deputy mayor!
Those bosses are worth hundreds of millions at least!
Those talents can be called entrepreneurs. Not to mention that Xia Zhitao is just doing some building materials business in the market. Even Liu Chunhui, who has just signed a parts production contract with some domestic brand automobile companies, has a net worth of only tens of millions!
Normally, if Liu Chunhui met any of these bosses, he would greet them with a smile. How did this kid Xia Shao get to know these wealthy bosses
The people of Lao Xia's family were not fools either. They could naturally see that these bosses were not only very polite to Xia Shao, but even showed some flattery and awe. This sounds a little funny, but the facts are right in front of you!
The bosses were rushing to hand her their business cards!
Xia Zhitao and Jiang Qiulin, Xia Zhimei and Liu Chunhui were all dumbfounded and couldn't figure out what details they had about their eldest brother and sister-in-law. What on earth is this kid Xiao Shao...
They were eagerly looking forward to Xia Shao's words, but Xia Shao lowered his eyes and looked at the dishes on the table, "Let's eat. I ordered so many dishes. It would be a shame not to eat them."
After that, she picked up some vegetables for her grandma and parents, and then went to eat by herself.
A group of people waiting for her to speak were a little embarrassed, but this time no one said anything. Liu Chunhui smiled and said: "That's right, let's eat first. Today is to celebrate Xiao Shao's admission to high school, so eat the food happily first." Got it!"
The whole family started to laugh and eat in silence. The food was already cold, and the people who ate it didn't know how to taste it. Moreover, the two families, Xia Zhitao and Xia Zhimei, both looked up at Xia Shao while eating, and found that she always had a calm demeanor, her eyes were slightly lowered, and her movements were leisurely and graceful.
The family suddenly realized that Xia Shao didn't look like a sixteen-year-old girl. She had a faint bearing in her movements that even someone like Liu Chunhui felt was inferior!
This feeling was like a grain of sand that I had never noticed before suddenly turned into a pearl. They had never discovered that their children were like this! This sudden discovery was like there was a familiar stranger in front of me. This feeling has so many mixed flavors that it’s hard to explain clearly.
While Xia Shao was eating, she didn't say a word, and no one dared to ask. They just ate with her in embarrassment. She didn't seem to feel any embarrassment at all. She chewed her meals carefully and could eat even when the food was cold. She tried every dish and thought it was still warm, so she gave it to her grandmother and parents beside her. She also told her cousin Zhang Ruman and aunt Xia Zhiqin to eat more.
Halfway through the meal, a hotel waiter came to the private room, "Excuse me, who is Miss Xia?"
The whole family turned their attention to Xia Shao.
"I am. What's the matter?" Xia Shao turned around.
The waiter showed a professional smile and said, "It's like this. The order for your table has been settled by Mr. Sun from Huaxia Auction Company."
"Okay, I understand, thank you." Xia Shao smiled lightly and thanked politely.
The waiter smiled and walked out, but before leaving, he glanced at Xia Shao curiously. Who is this girl? Just now at the reception desk, many bosses were vying to pay the bill for her.
After the waiter left, the atmosphere in the private room became quieter. Xia Shao continued to eat calmly. When she was full, she called someone to pack the remaining fish, meat and other vegetables, then said goodbye to her grandparents and followed her parents home.
Until they left, Xia's relatives didn't understand what happened.
But when they returned home, Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan, who had been silent at the table, sat on the sofa in the small living room and called Xia Shao to their side.
