Chapter 420
Once the Spring Festival is over, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the old Zhang family's annual New Year's wine will start to be held.
This new year's wine is no longer equivalent to a small gathering of family members, but all relatives or friends of the old Zhang family can come to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone gathers together to have a lively chat. Gains and losses, communicate with each other, and then discuss the planning and development of the second year.
Of course, this is also the time when various companies compare their human resources with each other.
This time, grandfather Zhang Yuande didn't let his uncle and others do it together because of the excitement, but directly invited the chef team from the four-star hotel in Zhou County to be in charge of lunch at noon today.
When Zhang Wei came out of the house, dozens of large round tables had already been set up in the courtyard outside the villa, and many people were already sitting at the tables eating and chatting, or playing cards for fun.
Suddenly, a burst of discussion entered Zhang Bi's ears, causing him to stare at the new wave of visiting guests.
"Is that Zhang Bin?"
Originally, Zhang Xuan and Zhang Hui were considered the most attractive among the juniors, but when a cool and handsome young man with a slightly gloomy expression walked into the arena, all the young girls in the hall looked over.
Even the elders sitting in the hall couldn't help squinting slightly when they heard the name again, looking in the direction of the hall.
"This is Zhang Bin, the most outstanding member of the younger generation of their old Zhang family." Someone in the crowd sighed in a low voice.
Zhang Bi looked at the person, sized him up a bit, and then looked away.
He didn't know much about Zhang Bin, only that he seemed to be seldom active in Zhou County, but developed in Jade Bird City, but everyone thought highly of him.
Originally, the old Zhang's family was not a big family in Jintian City, nor did they have any high-ranking officials and riches abroad, but they were still relatively famous in Qingniao City.And the source of this title is that the person in front of me is always cold, a bit similar to Sasuke's coldness in "Naruto".
Zhang Bin originally belonged to Zhang Wei's grandfather's family, so he was considered a side branch.But what he has achieved is indeed beyond the reach of their direct descendants.Zhang Bin stopped studying when he was very young, but went to dawdle in the society. At first, he was similar to others, that is, he occupied a small area, bullied the passing students, charged some protection fees and so on.
But because of being a gangster for several years, he formed a character of daring to fight, daring to fight, and being ruthless.It is said that when he was in Jade Bird City later, he was spotted by Huo Jiayuan, the father of Huo Shao in Jinniu District, so he became a famous person.
Now he has a construction company under his name, with assets exceeding [-] million yuan. Compared with him, Zhang Xuan is much inferior.
Although the elders and capable juniors in the seats in the hall are chatting from time to time, their seats are very particular, and they cannot achieve that position if they have not reached that level.
For example, grandpa Zhang Yuande and grandma sit in the first seat in the center, while the second uncle sits on the left and the uncle sits on the right.At this time, because it is not about seniority now, because the second uncle has a higher social status than the uncle, so he should sit on the left.
Zhang Wei's mother is the one who sits at the back of all the elders. If it weren't for being a representative, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have a seat due to her social status. For example, Zhang Wei is wandering outside the hall now, and those who are capable have already sat down and waited. It's New Year's greetings with others.
Those who are able to sit on the seat, in Zhang Wei's direct lineage, are the two brothers and sisters Zhang Xuan and Zhang Hui. The other children are directly dismissed or stand behind their parents.
When Zhang Bin entered the lobby, he scanned the seat and sat directly in front of Zhang Xuan, which indirectly showed that he was more capable than Zhang Xuan.
"Zhang Wei, if you want to go in, not to mention entering the engineering academy, at least you have to be the director of a tertiary hospital, a visiting professor of a certain university, or your mother directly opened a flower shop nationwide, with a market value of over ten million. Don't think about it now, just stay outside with me."
Seeing Zhang Wei's gaze sweeping across the hall from time to time, Zhang Lin sneered.
"If I want to sit in, even your father has to give way. Do you think I'm qualified?" Zhang Wei glanced at Zhang Lin lightly and said.
"Hehe! Just keep pretending. I'll see if you can still be so stubborn when the guests come to visit." Zhang Lin sneered.
Hearing this, Zhang Bi sneered in his heart, and said, "I really don't know what you have to be proud of. I'm afraid that my distinguished guest will scare you to death directly."
Old Zhang's New Year's wine is relatively famous, and each family invites many close friends to participate every year, and even some people who don't want to close will take this opportunity to come and give gifts during the New Year.
Now is the time to show your connections.
Over the years, Zhang Yuande and Zhang Wei's second uncle, Zhang Shaoyun, were the ones with the most visitors and the most expensive status.
Grandfather Zhang Yuande was also considered to be in a high position back then. Although he retired, he still has many colleagues and subordinates.
And Zhang Shaoyun is the secretary of the county party committee of Zhou County. Although the place is not big, it is impossible for many people who want to enter Zhou County to bypass Zhang Shaoyun's position. good time.
There is a saying: to give convenience to others is to give convenience to oneself.The meaning of changing to this is that on such a big occasion, the more face you give Zhang Shaoyun, the more benefits you will give yourself.
But Zhang Wei's house is different every year. In the past ten years, my mother has never changed at all. Sitting there, she is alone from beginning to end, not even a rich little boss.
Although my mother was calm from beginning to end, she couldn't hide her inner concern.
After all, the purpose of her coming is to represent Zhang Bi's father, and this means that she must compete with the other brothers.But compared with Zhang Wei's uncle, second uncle, third father, fourth father, etc., Zhang Wei's father is obviously not as good as others.
In fact, my mother never gave up working hard every year. She tried her best to build a good relationship with the big employer who bought the flowers, and hoped that the other party would come to pay New Year's greetings at this time of the second year.But after so many years, it has never been successful.Let's not talk about whether other people are busy, or whether their own home is also holding a reception.
It is absolutely unrealistic to say that a flower buyer comes to pay a flower seller New Year's greetings.
These people who come to pay New Year's greetings either have a large business cooperation relationship, or they are asking for help.How could Zhang Wei's mother, who works in a flower shop, have the above two points.
"What a big breath!"
Not only Zhang Lin, but even the other juniors around looked at Zhang Fei as if they were looking at a lunatic.
If Zhang Wei is a big boss like Zhang Bin, he still has some strength to say this.But now he is just a student in a Chinese medicine school, does he really think he is crazy?
If you are not ashamed, others will only think that you are trying to be stubborn, and you will only be ridiculed and despised.
"Hehe, I'm waiting for your distinguished guest to scare me to death!" Zhang Lin replied coldly, with a sneer on his face.
When Zhang Wei was wandering outside, the elders inside had a heated discussion.
Looking at the time, it was already 11:30, and it was almost lunch time, uncle Zhang Shaode changed the subject.
"Second brother, at this point, almost everyone should come."
He was attacked by everyone just now, accusing him of being ineffective in managing the old Zhang family group. If his second uncle Zhang Shaoyun hadn't strongly supported his brother, his position as the CEO of the old Zhang family would have been difficult to secure.
After all, the second uncle, Zhang Shaoyun, is already a secretary of the county party committee, and the next step is the deputy mayor of Tianjin City, so the weight of words is still very heavy.If he really can become the deputy mayor, then the territory of the old Zhang family can expand a part.
"Well, it's almost there." Zhang Shaoyun nodded and said.
Less than 5 minutes after their words, there were shouts outside.
"Chairman of Chonghua Food Company, Boss Zhou is here."
As soon as the words fell, several people rushed in at the door. The leader looked like a successful person, with a big back and shiny black hair, a bulging belly, wearing a brand-name suit, and looked like a big boss.
"Sixth sister's family?" Zhang Wei's fourth father said in a low voice.
Sure enough, the eldest son of Zhang Biliu's father had already stood up, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Lao Zhou, I'll trouble you to make a trip so far away." Zhang Wei Liu's father then went up to meet him and greeted him with a smile.
"Your old Zhang's annual meeting, such a big event, how can I not come to participate, and I haven't given you a New Year's greeting yet!"
Boss Zhou stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands tightly, both smiling.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, please come in." Liu Dad patted Boss Zhou on the shoulder and led him to the table dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests.
Every year at the annual meeting, two tables are set up, one is the outside yard, which is specially used for some unimportant but related people, and there are only four or five tables in the hall, all of which are used to welcome distinguished guests Table seats.
The meals on the tables outside are all ordered one-stop service, while the meals on the tables inside are served by the four-star chefs.
After all, if four-star chefs are asked to prepare dozens of tables of meals, they certainly don't have the energy.
Many elders who knew each other also stood up one after another to welcome Boss Zhou.Only a few people with higher status are sitting in the seats, and a little nod is enough.
After Boss Zhou was introduced into the waiting room, he hurried over and clasped his fists at Zhang Yuande who was sitting in the first seat.
"Zhang Laoshu, Zhang Shu, Chow Tai Fook from Chonghua Foods, here we come to wish you New Year greetings."
"Boss Zhou has a heart."
Grandpa Zhang Bi didn't even say a word, only his second uncle Zhang Shaoyun nodded slightly.
At his position, a small boss whose worth is only a few million can no longer be tolerated in his eyes.
