MTL - As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store-Chapter 594 It's all family!
Chapter 594 It's all a family!
A group of four walked into the yard.
As soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into Xiao Yang who came out of the house.
"Brother Yang, where are you going?"
"The old man asked me to come out to see if you have arrived. I didn't expect to meet you when I came out!"
After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he saw Father Guo and his father behind Zhou Chao, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Third aunt, uncle, hello, I am Jiang Li's cousin Xiao Yang, please come inside!"
Looking at Xiao Yang's enthusiastic appearance, Zhou Chao couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes vigorously twice.
I didn't expect Xiao Yang, who has always been unsmiling, to have such a side.
"Hello, hello!" The three aunts responded quickly.
Immediately, a group of people walked into the courtyard under the leadership of Xiao Yang.
After turning around and turning eight times, I came to a slightly quaint room.
"Inside, please~" Xiao Yang stretched out his right hand to signal the three aunts to go in first.
Third Aunt and Father Guo looked at each other, and their breathing became a little short. They both knew that after opening the door, they would see a few important figures that they could only watch on TV before.
Zhou Chao looked at the two people who had not moved for a long time, and knew what was going on in his heart, "Third Aunt, let me take you in!"
After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and pushed open the door, and the two old men who were chatting vigorously in the room, Xiao Zhong, Jiang Youdao and others all looked at the door.
Seeing Zhou Chao walking in with two middle-aged men and women and Jiang Li, Jiang Youdao and his wife quickly stood up and walked up to them quickly.
"Hello, you two must be Xiaochao's third aunt and uncle. I am Jiang Li's father, Jiang Youdao, and this is her mother, Li Ya."
Jiang Youdao said enthusiastically, without the aura of the previous leader at all.
Looking at the enthusiastic Jiang Youdao and the third aunt, they were not as nervous as before, especially Guo's father took the initiative to hold Jiang Youdao's hand, showing the responsibility that a man should have on important occasions.
"Hello, I have heard Zhou Chao talk about you for a long time. I have never had a chance to meet each other. I hope you will bear with me."
"Everyone knows what's going on, so there's no need to be so polite, after all, we are all a family now!"
Jiang Youdao also knew the situation of Zhou Chao's family, so Zhou Chao and Jiang Li didn't take the initiative to ask their parents to meet after they had been married for so long.
Sangu and Father Guo were also dragged by Jiang Youdao to meet Jiang and Xiao, and the two gradually calmed down from the nervousness at the beginning.
Seeing the three aunts chatting with their father-in-law and mother-in-law in full swing, Zhou Chao's little apprehension disappeared without a trace.
"Xiao Chao!"
Grandpa Jiang, who was seated at the top, waved to Zhou Chao.
"Is there anything the old man wants from me?" Zhou Chao hurried over.
Before Mr. Jiang could speak, he heard Mr. Xiao say angrily: "Hmph, some people don't come to see me, old man, when they go back to Kyoto. Hey, the world is getting worse!"
When Zhou Chao heard this, he felt that his head was getting bigger, and he quickly explained: "How can it be, old man, I just came back yesterday. I just wanted to take time to come and see you. Sangu and the others have arrived in Kyoto."
"Then I don't care, you boy, think about how to compensate the old man!"
Master Xiao grinned and put on an expression of "you can figure it out".
That’s the end of the story, Zhou Chao didn’t know what the old man’s plan was, probably because the wine he took from him before was almost drunk, and he just took this opportunity to want to do some more.
"Okay, old man, I happen to have a lot of good wine in Shanghai. In two days, I will ask Lin Wu to deliver it to your old man's home. What do you think!"
When he heard the good wine, Mr. Xiao's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he put on a very indifferent look on his face.
"What good wine, is it better than the wine you sent before!"
Zhou Chao looked at the old man's expression, and secretly laughed in his heart.
"Same as the previous ones, they are all good collection-level wines, and there are about two or three cases left."
As soon as the words fell, I heard Mr. Xiao's choking sound. The voice was so loud that even Jiang Youdao and others who were chatting on the side looked over.
Even Mr. Xiao, who had experienced the **** storm, had a blush on his face at this moment.
People are old and thick-skinned, and this sentence is not aimless.
The old man coughed dryly twice, looked at everyone solemnly and said: "Sorry, I drank too much water just now and choked, it's okay, you guys continue talking!"
Everyone didn't know exactly what happened, so they turned around and continued chatting again. During this period, Xiao Yang came to ask if the food could be served.
"Xiao Chao, those boxes of yours have been stored for a long time, and they will be sent to me according to what you just said, and I will keep them safe for you!"
"Che, old man Xiao, if you want to drink, you can just say it, and you still beat around the bush like this. You think everyone is a fool and can't see your little thoughts?" Old Mr. Jiang on the side ruthlessly exposed Mr. Xiao's little thoughts.
"Hey, old man Jiang, this is given to me by my grandson-in-law, yeah, I won't give it to you!"
"He is still my grandson-in-law, what kind of wine is there when I open my mouth!" Mr. Jiang is also a little bit over the top at this time.
Watching the two old men compete with each other, Zhou Chao didn't know whether to interrupt.
"The two old men calm down, and then I will give each of you two boxes."
The two old men glanced at each other and hummed in a tacit understanding.
Zhou Chao also heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. The two old men are both very old, so why are they still acting like children.
"Okay, let's talk about something serious, stay after dinner, Xiaochao, I need to talk to you about some things!" Mr. Xiao's expression became a little serious.
Zhou Chao nodded, seeing that the two old men had nothing else to say, he went to Jiang Li and sat down.
"Grandpa and the others told you something confidential?"
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Li approached him and whispered in his ear.
"It's nothing, it's just that your grandpa finished his drink and wants me to send him some more. In addition, there is something to talk about after dinner. Then you take Sangu and the others for a stroll!"
"Don't worry, my mother and third aunt have discussed it just now, and we will go out together after dinner."
"Papa papa!" Zhou Chao was about to speak when he saw Jiang Youdao standing up and clapping his hands.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
"Ahem, today is a good day, everyone raise the cups in your hands, let us welcome the arrival of Zhou Chao's third aunt and uncle, let's drink this cup together!"
Hearing what his father-in-law said, Zhou Chao felt like he was about to buckle his toes out of three rooms and one living room.
Maybe because of being young people, on the other hand, Sangu, Uncle Xiao Zhong and others stood up happily and raised the cups in their hands.
Seeing that everyone got up, Zhou Chao also helped Jiang Li to stand up, and raised the red wine glass in his hand.
"cheers!"
—
This meal lasted for a full hour and a half, and the meal was over, and the time had come to eight o'clock in the evening.
"Sangu, you can go shopping with Ali, if you don't want to go shopping, you can go home and rest, I still have some things to deal with here!"
"Well~ We have already discussed it. Your mother-in-law and I are going to go shopping. If you have something to do, you can go and do it first. Don't worry about us. Isn't Xiao Li still here!"
The third aunt also seemed to like the new and dislike the old, she took Jiang Li's hand and waved impatiently, signaling him to leave quickly.
Jiang Li covered his mouth and smirked when he saw this, even his mother-in-law Li Ya looked at him jokingly.
"Okay, remember to call me if you need anything!"
"Go!"
Turned around and walked into the room. Apart from the two old men, there were also my old father-in-law, uncles Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yang who hadn't left in the room!
"They're all gone?" Seeing Zhou Chao walk in, Jiang Youdao asked.
"Well, let's go, I said to go shopping!" Zhou Chao walked to an empty seat and sat down.
Xiao Zhong, who hadn’t spoken much all this time, suddenly asked, “Dad, you suddenly called me back so you can’t just eat this meal and chat, you know I’ve been busy recently!”
Master Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhong who was a little impatient, and then slowly said: "Why are you panicking, you will find out later, this matter is also a great thing for you!"
Hearing that there is a great benefit, Xiao Zhong’s eyes flashed a trace of doubt. For his level, talking about a great benefit means that his current position can be moved up a bit.
But his current level can be said to have almost reached the ceiling. If he goes further, it means that he has entered the absolute decision-making level.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhong's eyes widened in an instant, and he looked at Mr. Xiao with incredible eyes.
Master Xiao also noticed Xiao Zhong's gaze, but he ignored it directly, and took a sip of the tea on the table instead.
"Dad, what good thing did you just say!" Xiao Zhong, who couldn't bear it, asked eagerly.
"Why are you in a hurry, didn't you just say that you have something to do, you should do it!"
"No, nothing to do, I'm free right now!"
Master Xiao shook his head speechlessly, then turned to look at Mr. Jiang to signal that he could start.
"I just happened to be here today. It's a family secret meeting. The main purpose is to give you a thorough understanding. This matter is related to the development of our three families in the next few decades or even hundreds of years."
The current development momentum of the second generation of the Jiang family and the Xiao family is very good, especially Jiang Youdao has crossed the most critical step with the help of Zhou Chao. As for Xiao Zhong, it is a step slower. As for the three generations, only Xiao Yang is The most promising, one of the main leaders of the security department, can be said to have a bright future.
As for Xiao Feng and Jiang Li, needless to say, if Jiang Li hadn't found Zhou Chao, a high-quality king and old man, maybe he would not be able to escape the ending of marriage in the future.
Jiang Youdao, who knew the reason of the incident, raised his mouth slightly, and he was ready to see Xiao Zhong's jokes.
"Come back to the subject, I have briefly tested the technology you gave me, Xiaochao, and it is somewhat different from what you said, but it is almost the same. The main reason is that it was too hasty. Old man Xiao and I discussed it and prepared In the last two days, go to No. 1 to discuss this matter!"
Having said so much in one breath, Mr. Jiang's mouth is also a little dry, and he feels bored when he picks up the tea.
"Technology? What technology? Xiaochao, your research institute has developed a new technology?"
Even Xiao Yang cast a curious look. As the third in command of the security department, he is still quite sensitive to information. This technology still needs to be reported to No. 1, which is enough to show that there are unknown secrets in it.
"I can tell you briefly, but I'm not allowed to tell anyone!" Mr. Jiang said with a serious face.
As the only two Xiao family father and son who didn't know, they nodded quickly.
"This is a technology about desertification, which can change desertification and convert it into plantable soil, and the cost is quite low."
Change desertification? This does not mean that there will be more available arable land and land.
Thinking of the current desert area in China, Xiao Zhong immediately understood the importance of this technology.
Xiao Zhong licked his somewhat dry lips, looked at Zhou Chao, then at the two old men, wanted to say something, but opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Xiao Chao, besides the request you mentioned earlier, is there anything else?" Mr. Jiang suddenly brought the topic to Zhou Chao.
"Me? I don't. Just the previous request. If there is any other request, I hope that the land ownership time will be added to me forever!" Zhou Chao laughed to himself after speaking.
If it really becomes a permanent land, wouldn't it become a private land, which should be impossible in China.
"Your idea is quite beautiful, but this request is not too much. Without this technology, I don't know that it will take decades to de-desertify!"
Master Jiang was silent for a moment and then continued: "I will tell number one when the time comes, I can't give you a guarantee if it works or not!"
"It's enough for the old man to have your words!"
Old Master Xiao on the side looked at Zhou Chao with some embarrassment, "Xiao Chao, I need to ask for your opinion on something!"
"Old man Xiao, you are all from your own family, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
The old man gritted his teeth and looked desperate, "Well, even your uncle is not young, and has been in this position for a while, I just want to take this opportunity to let him go up!"
"I thought it was a big deal. Didn't I say it before, you can figure it out, not to mention that my uncle is also my own. I agree with this proposal with both hands!"
Zhou Chao also knew that the old man had never begged anyone in his entire life, so it was a lot of embarrassment to be able to say these words.
"Thank you, Xiao Chao!" Xiao Zhong also understood what the old man said before, and it turned out that he was able to have this opportunity thanks to Zhou Chao's credit.
"Uncle, we are all one family, how can we talk about two families!" Zhou Chao said pretending to be angry.
"Yes, yes, Xiaochao is right!" Xiao Zhong's face seemed to be smiling.
"Okay, look at your ugly face, it's really embarrassing to the Xiao family." Mr. Xiao gave Xiao Zhong an angry look.
"Hey, isn't this exciting!"
