Chapter 17
Fangshanshui International Hotel is the only five-star hotel in the county.

In a small county town, being able to eat a meal or stay for a night at Fangshanshui Hotel is definitely capital that can be used to show off.

Tonight's dinner will be arranged here.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

As soon as he entered the door, a tall waiter in a red cheongsam greeted him.

"Tianzihao No. 666." Jing Xiaoran said.

"In the box on the second floor, turn left when entering the door and there is an elevator." The waiter smiled.

"Thank you." Jing Xiaoran led Xiaoxiao upstairs.

The Jing family is a big family. Jing Xiaoran's grandfather was the eldest son in the family. He passed away when Jing Xiaoran was young. He had two sons and three daughters. Jing Xiaoran's father was the youngest in the family.In addition, Jing Xiaoran's grandfather has three younger brothers, each with many children.

This time the family banquet was organized by Jing Xiaoran's uncle, Jing Weiguo.

Jing Weiguo went into business when he was young, and later returned to his hometown to open a chain supermarket.In Jing Xiaoran's previous life, his supermarket even expanded to the provincial capital city, accumulated a lot of capital, and he was regarded as the leader in the family.

Pushing open the door of the box, the box was already full of people.

Most of the Jing family attended this family banquet, and Jing's father and Jing's mother also sat in it.

Jing Xiaoran was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect it to be so grand, he thought it was just a simple gathering.

"Xiao Ran!" Many people in the box greeted Jing Xiaoran, they were all children of similar age, and he nodded in response.But it's ironic that Jing Xiaoran looks familiar to most people, but he just can't name it.

These relatives are scattered in various cities, and they seldom go home except during Chinese New Year.Even those who have settled down in the county town rarely interact with Jing Xiaoran's family.

Who would associate with a poor relative who is always thinking of borrowing money?
"Jing Hui?" Jing Xiaoran saw a girl surrounded by relatives like stars holding the moon.

Jing Hui also saw Jing Xiaoran, and the two separated after seeing each other.

"She has grown taller and more beautiful." Jing Xiaoran murmured in his heart.

Jing Hui is the daughter of Uncle Jing Weiguo.In the early days of Jing Weiguo's business, Jing Hui was fostered at Jing Xiaoran's house.The relationship between Jing Xiaoran and Jing Hui was very good during that time, Jing Hui followed Jing Xiaoran all the year round, she was like a small follower.

Jing Xiaoran came to his parents, found an empty seat and sat down.

The private room was extremely lively, but Jing Xiaoran's family was like another world where no one cared.

Fortunately, Jing Xiaoran's family is used to this kind of treatment, Xiaoxiao snuggled up to Jing Xiaoran at the side, and it was considered quiet.

When everyone was there, the waiter started serving the food.

"Everyone be quiet." Jing Weiguo stood up from his seat and pressed his hands down, "I'm glad that everyone can join us and give me this face."

The box suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Jing Weiguo.

"There are two main purposes for inviting everyone to eat together this time." Jing Weiguo said with a hearty smile.

He has a Chinese character face, beard, and a mole next to his ear, with a curvy hair growing on the mole.

"First of all, I recently registered a company, which mainly operates a supermarket chain. Thanks to the help of my relatives, the registration process went smoothly."

As soon as the words fell, there was warm applause in the box, which made Jing Xiaoran suspect that he was not here to attend the family banquet, but to attend a certain leader's speech.

"Registered a company?" Jing Xiaoran didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.

After his past and present lives, he will never forget the scene where his father borrowed money from Jing Weiguo after his younger sister was diagnosed with congenital heart disease.

It was this man, my uncle, who threw 1000 yuan on the ground with his own hands, and left his whole family aside.

No matter how his parents begged, even his mother knelt down, he completely ignored it.

Jing Xiaoran hated himself for his incompetence, and also hated his uncle's family. He could save his sister with a little effort, but he was so heartless.

Looking at Xiaoxiao beside him and Jing Weiguo on the main seat, Jing Xiaoran's resentment and regret in his previous life turned into calmness and firmness now.

"Another thing," Jing Weiguo cleared his throat, the smile on his face was brighter than before, "Xiaohui took the college entrance examination this year, and the results came out, with a total score of 620 points. Many colleges and universities across the country have already contacted Xiaohui , promised a lot of preferential policies, and wanted to win Xiaohui into their school."

The relatives in the box cheered continuously, and complimented one after another.

"I remember whose child is also taking the college entrance examination this year." Jing Weiguo asked again, "Oh, I remembered. Xiao Ran, it seems that you are also taking the college entrance examination this year, right? You should have done well in the exam, right?"

Jing Xiaoran didn't expect that the uncle would want to step on him, and he really spared no effort in order to praise his daughter!
"Yes, uncle." Jing Xiaoran stood up and smiled slightly, "I just passed the second main line, so I'm far behind Jing Hui."

Jing Hui sat opposite Jing Xiaoran, glanced at him, then lowered her head again, wondering what she was thinking.

Jing's father and Jing's mother were sullen, but they were very curious about their son's reaction.Because of the relationship between the two families, Jing Xiaoran didn't like Jing Weiguo the least in the past, let alone pay attention to him, how could he take the initiative to answer today?

"Haha..." Jing Weiguo laughed loudly, "Two copies are fine, you are the first college student in your family, so you are not bad."

"Thank you uncle for your compliment." Jing Xiaoran still smiled, "I will communicate with Jing Hui and ask her for advice when I have time."

Jing Huixiu frowned, she looked at Jing Xiaoran strangely.

"Okay, okay..." Jing Weiguo nodded in satisfaction.

Father Jing frowned, and when Jing Xiaoran sat down, he whispered: "Xiao Ran, let's leave early after eating, we won't be offended by it."

"Dad, don't worry." Jing Xiaoran smiled mysteriously, "I know it well, I won't be ridiculed by uncle for nothing."

Father Jing looked puzzled, he found that his son was a little different.

After the college entrance examination, Jing Xiaoran has changed a lot. Apart from taking the initiative to bet with him, the son who used to be very happy now has learned to hide his emotions, and even has some small thoughts of his own.

"Oh, I don't know if it's good or bad." Father Jing looked at Jing Xiaoran, thought about his smile just now, and sighed in his heart, "No matter what, he is my child."

Jing Xiaoran didn't know what his father was thinking, and now his mind was full of planning for the next thing.

The family banquet started, everyone pushed glasses and changed glasses, Jing Xiaoran's family was extremely deserted here, no one toasted, and they didn't take the initiative to toast.

"Dad, I'm going to toast uncle." Jing Xiaoran stood up and bowed slightly.

"Xiao Ran, you..." Father Jing just wanted to stop him, but Jing Xiaoran shook his head and said, "Dad, I've grown up, so I can't let you bear this all the time."

With that said, Jing Xiaoran left with a smile all over his face.

"Father..." Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "My brother is very powerful. With my brother here, I am not afraid of anything. Don't worry."

Father Jing looked down at the little daughter beside him, and his heart overflowed with infinite warmth.

Jing Xiaoran slowly walked towards Jing Weiguo who was seated in the main seat. The people around him had already noticed his movements. Everyone knew the grievances between the two families, and they all looked optimistic.

"Uncle, I'm here to offer you a toast. I wish you a prosperous company and a smooth career." Jing Xiaoran walked to Jing Weiguo's side and said respectfully.

"Xiao Ran!" Jing Weiguo drank a lot of wine, and his voice was a bit unsteady, "Good...good boy! You are not at all like your father, you have...you have a future!"

Jing Xiaoran smiled, but did not speak.

Jing Weiguo waved his hand, patted Jing Xiaoran's shoulder, and raised his glass: "Come on, have a drink!"

Jing Xiaoran raised his wine glass and drank the wine in his hand without hesitation.

"Okay!" Jing Weiguo picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Xiao Ran, you are really good."

"Uncle, you praised me." Jing Xiaoran put down his wine glass, but didn't intend to leave, "Uncle, you have opened a lot of chain supermarkets recently, you are really amazing!"

Jing Weiguo was very helpful to these compliments: "It's...it's okay, everyone is helping you. You... If you have nothing to do during summer vacation, you can come to our supermarket to help. There is also 500 yuan a month, which is enough for you to go to college for a month Living expenses!"

"Okay! Then I have time to go to the supermarket to help." Jing Xiaoran smiled.

"It's easy to say." Seeing that Jing Xiaoran still didn't leave, Jing Weiguo felt a little impatient, "Is there anything else?"

Jing Xiaoran suddenly smiled, and spoke louder: "Uncle, do you have any plans to open a supermarket near the Yanli Pavilion recently?"

"No!" Jing Weiguo replied without thinking, "Why do you ask that?"

"Oh..." Jing Xiaoran elongated his voice, glanced at the bloated middle-aged woman next to Jing Weiguo, and said with a smile, "That's because I made a mistake. A friend said that he saw that uncle often went in and out of Yanzhou these days. Liguan, I thought you wanted to open a supermarket near here."

When Jing Weiguo heard this, his whole body shook, and he was half sober from the wine: "Jing Xiaoran, you little bastard, don't talk nonsense! How could I go to the Yanli Hall, it's a beauty salon! What am I going to do as a man!"

Jing Xiaoran's face immediately became aggrieved, and said: "Maybe my friend was wrong, uncle, I was wrong."

"Wait!" The woman sitting next to Jing Weiguo suddenly looked back at Jing Xiaoran, "Xiao Ran, what's the name of that friend of yours?"

This person is Jing Weiguo's wife, Chen Yanfang, who is Jing Xiaoran's aunt.

"Wife, why are you asking this, this little bastard is full of nonsense." Jing Weiguo glared at Jing Xiaoran, and then looked at his wife with a smile on his face, "You can't take it seriously, you can't take it seriously."

"Shut up! Don't interrupt!" Chen Yanfang said coldly, turning her head to look at Jing Xiaoran gently, "Xiao Ran, don't be afraid, what is your friend's name, tell aunt."

Jing Xiaoran looked frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Aunt, my friend, she... her name is Ling Xi."

Jing Weiguo's complexion changed when he heard the words, he turned his head and suppressed a smile and said, "Fangfang, I went there to discuss business with others."

"Business?" Chen Yanfang's eyes turned cold, "Who are you talking about business with?"

"That's right..." Jing Weiguo hesitated to speak, before Jing Xiaoran interrupted, "Uncle, have you been discussing business with the same person these days?"
