Lu Zixin looked at his parents for help, and Lu Yue said: "Lu Zixin is doing a very good job now. Besides, civil servants are not as popular as before, so they still have to work hard on their own."
The uncle nodded and said: "It makes sense, business is not bad now. Do you think Lu Jun is doing better than most college students and graduate students?"
"Lu Zixin, you might as well come back and help your brother. Having a relative to take care of you is worth hanging around outside for ten years!" The uncle looked at Lu Jun and said, "Are you in need of someone?"
"There is a shortage!" Lu Jun said, "We are doing engineering projects, and the beginning of spring is the time when we are short of people! I just told Xinzi, what kind of work should I do? Come back and work with me, I will definitely not treat him badly."
Lu Zixin had no choice but to thank him and said, "Thank you, Brother Jun. I'll see what happens."
When the eldest aunt saw this, her face was quite proud. In the past, Lu Jun was criticized by his family for dropping out of school. Now that his son has come forward, it is Lu Zixin's turn.
She asked: "Lu Zixin, what university did you go to before?"
Lu Zixin answered truthfully, she said: "I would say, instead of studying at those famous universities, it is better to go out and work early."
"Nowadays, cars, houses, etc. are all problems. If you don't have them, even the women on the blind date will look down on them..."
She babbled so much that Lu Jun couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Mom, eat some vegetables!"
Lu Zixin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Shen Man emphasized several times that Lu Zixin was doing well. However, because she didn't give details, a few people didn't pay attention and thought she was forcing her son to support her.
After you’ve had enough wine and food, it’s time to pay and withdraw.
In previous years, each family would share the money equally for the family banquet, but this year it was a little different.
"How much did it cost?" the third aunt asked the waiter.
"Hello, your table spent a total of 12,000 yuan." The waiter replied politely.
"Twelve thousand, why so much?" Third Aunt said in surprise, "Show me the list."
The waiter showed her the bill, and the third aunt frowned: "This dish is several times more expensive than outside, and this drink, why is it only a few thousand!"
She felt a little distressed. The cost of this table was too high, evenly divided, it would cost four thousand.
The third uncle coughed and said, "It's normal. This is the Hexian Hotel, and it's the first day of the new year. It's normal for it to be expensive."
"Who is paying the bill? Please follow me to the front desk!" the waitress asked politely.
When she asked this question, the situation suddenly became awkward. The third uncle and the third aunt were silent, thinking that if things went well in previous years, everyone would share the money equally.
But after spending so much this year and Lu Jun made money again, should he pay for it
Lu Jun was not so petty. Just as he was about to stand up and go to check out, his girlfriend next to him secretly pulled him and gave him a nonchalant look.
Over there, the eldest aunt also asked with a smile: "Will this year be the same as before, the three families will share equally?"
The uncle didn't say anything, pretending not to hear, and the third uncle didn't say anything either, just sending messages on his cell phone.
The third aunt felt unhappy, but said with a smile on her face: "Lu Jun has done so well this year, so our relatives can take advantage of it! If he contributes a lot, we should also contribute a little."
The eldest aunt did not hesitate at all and said: "Lu Jun and his wife are about to get married. Their expenses are not small, and some project funds have been confiscated. When money is loose in two years, I will invite you directly. This year, we will do the same as before." "
Seeing this scene, Lu Zixin finally understood why his father had warned him in advance. When Xu promised a blank check, everyone said nice things. Once real interests are involved, it will be another scene.
This cannot be said to mean that relatives are unjust and unjust. If there is really trouble, everyone will still lend a helping hand. But under normal circumstances, everyone wants to suffer less and take advantage.
Shen Man couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Let's do this, Lu Zixin, you go and settle it first, and we'll figure it out later."
Seeing that someone couldn't hold it any longer, the third aunt felt secretly happy and said, "Then let's do this for now, and we'll figure it out later!"
Lu Zixin quickly paid the bill. When he came out, Lu Jun grabbed him and said, "My wife is stingy, I should pay for this meal. What is your account number, I will transfer the money to you."
Lu Zixin waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. I come back once in a blue moon, so just treat it as my invitation."
"No, how can this make sense?" Lu Jun said, "You don't have much money. I guess my mother won't even mention this matter when she gets back. I'll pay for it."
"Lu Jun!" The eldest aunt called him and said, "What are you still doing? Go and drive!"
"Here we come!" Lu Jun responded and whispered to Lu Zixin: "Remember to send me your account number!"
A group of them walked to the door of the hotel, and it happened that several people had just parked their cars and came from outside.
Lu Jun was surprised, and his aunt asked, "What's wrong?"
"I see a big boss, I have to go up and say hello." Lu Jun said.
The uncle was a little impatient and said: "Celebrate the New Year well. We are still waiting for you to drive back. Can't we say hello after the New Year?"
"No!" Lu Jun said, "This big boss is not simple."
He pointed over there and said: "That Director Jia is the chairman of PARKnSHOP Real Estate! He built the PARKnSHOP Plaza in our county. His investment is hundreds of millions. If we can get in touch with him, we can The engineering team will no longer have to worry about business!”
After he finished speaking, the uncle thought about it and nodded: "So that's it, you have to go and say hello. You go ahead and we'll wait."
Before Lu Jun left, the third uncle said again: "Huh? I know the people next to him! Isn't the one on the left the county secretary? The one next to him is Mayor Tang! Last month our unit had a meeting and we also studied and researched Listen to Mayor Tang’s speech!”
The third aunt said in surprise: "Secretary H and Mayor Tang were having dinner together. That big boss is really powerful! Lu Jun actually knows such a person, it's really different!"
"You guys wait for me for a while, I'll go greet you." Lu Jun said, straightened his clothes and walked over.
At this time, Jia Hai was chatting and laughing with the county secretary of Tonghe County and the mayor of this city, Tang. Baijia Real Estate has another big investment project in He County this year, and they are taking advantage of the Chinese New Year to come and discuss it.
Lu Zixin was a little surprised when he saw Jia Hai. Jia Hai just called him in the morning and said he had arrived in He County, and now he met him here. It's natural to think about it. Hexian County is such a big place. If Jia Hai wants to settle down, the best place is the Hexian County Hotel.
Lu Jun walked up to him, put on a smile, lowered his head, and greeted: "Mayor Tang, Secretary Chen, Director Jia, happy New Year!"
The three of them were stunned when they saw him, and responded calmly: "Happy New Year."
Jia Hai smiled and said, "I tend to forget things easily when I get older. Who is this?" He didn't remember Lu Jun at all.
As for Mayor Tang and Secretary Chen, they didn’t know Lu Jun at all.
Lu Jun was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said, "I'm Xiao Lu, Lu Jun. I'm the one who does the engineering in He County. Our engineering team also contracted a project for your Baijia Plaza last year."
"Oh, it's you!" Jia Hai said so, but still had no impression. There were so many people doing engineering work, and Lu Jun was just a small figure in the county engineering team. How could he remember
Secretary Chen of He County frowned slightly and glanced at Lu Jun, telling him to get out of the way.
