Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 284 Both Hospitality and Demonstration

Qiao Yicheng did not answer Cao Zhiqiang's question directly, but judging from his expression, he seemed to have accepted Cao Zhiqiang's words.

At least, judging from Qiao Yicheng's expression, he didn't reject Qiao Simi being adopted by the President Chen couple.

Because knowing a father is like a son.

Just like Cao Zhiqiang said.

Their father, Qiao Zuwang, was not a particularly competent father at all.

Although they didn't ignore them at all, they usually said that these children were vampires openly and secretly, and kept saying that it was the existence of these children that made Qiao Zuwang's life so uncomfortable.

And compared to other people, because Qiao Yicheng is older, he knows more about his father, he knows that this is a critical moment, he is particularly timid, and he chooses to escape first if he has something to do, and he is a guy with an eye for money.

If Qiao Simei comes back to live, Qiao Zuwang will have to support one more child, which will make Qiao Zuwang even more uncomfortable.

At that time, Qiao Zuwang will probably go to another family and sell Qiao Simei.

Since they are going to be sold, it is better to sell them to someone who looks more reliable.

At least for now, it seems that Qiao Sanli's life in the Cao family is not bad, and Qiao Sanli's new eldest brother seems to be quite reliable.

As for the family introduced by Qiao Sanli's new eldest brother, it is estimated that they will not be too bad.

But what moved Qiao Yicheng the most was what Cao Zhiqiang said, President Chen could often bring Simei to Nanjing to see him, and he could even take him to the capital to see Qiao Simei.

No one knew that Qiao Yicheng was actually eager to escape from this house in his heart.

Because this home suffocates him.

He especially wanted to go to a better place and start a carefree new life.

But he can't, because he doesn't have the ability.

Unless he can be adopted by a good family with money and power, just like President Chen's family.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yicheng lowered his head, his eyes began to flicker.

"Big brother!"

Qiao Erqiang called out, waking Qiao Yicheng up.

Looking up, he found that Qiao Erqiang in front of him was holding out his hand with a smile, and there was a handful of white rabbit toffee in his hand.

As for the guy named Cao Zhiqiang, he was gone.

"Second strong?" Qiao Yicheng frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Look, Toffee, Big White Rabbit!" Qiao Erqiang chuckled, "Simei gave it, and said it was brought from the capital, as well as this kind of imported chocolate."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Erqiang opened his other hand, revealing three pieces of chocolate inside.

"Brother, here." Qiao Erqiang said with a chuckle, "I've eaten it, it's sweet, it's delicious."

Qiao Yicheng didn't take it, but looked left and right: "That Cao, where's Brother Cao?"

Qiao Erqiang smiled and said, "He, he just entered the house, and he seems to be talking to Dad about something. By the way, Sanli and Simei also went in."

Qiao Yicheng nodded: "Then why don't you go in with me?"

Qiao Erqiang smiled and said, "I see you didn't go in with me, you just stood here thinking about things, so I'll stay with you."

Qiao Yicheng only frowned: "Go, have a look."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Yicheng walked into the room.

Qiao Erqiang was taken aback, and quickly put the white rabbit toffee and chocolate into his pocket: "Wait for me."

As soon as Qiao Yicheng entered the room, he heard Qiao Simei talking and making gestures to Qiao Zuwang.

"My brother's house is so beautiful. There is also a big [-]-inch color TV. Watching cartoons is great."

"There is also a large refrigerator, which can make ice cubes and make ice cream by yourself. It's so cool and comfortable."

"By the way, there is also that kind of water heater. After turning it on, there will be hot water, and you don't have to worry about how much hot water you use. It's very comfortable to take a bath, and you can use a wooden barrel to take a bath."

"Also, I have a separate room. This big room is all my own. There is only my own bed in the room, and there are many dolls and beautiful clothes. I really like it."

When Cao Lili heard this, she suddenly turned her head to look at Qiao Yicheng: "Brother, you are here."

Qiao Yicheng nodded to Cao Lili, then walked to Cao Lili and stood there without speaking, just watching the scene quietly.

At this time, Qiao Zuwang sighed: "Oh, Sanli and Simei are going to enjoy their blessings, that's good, that's good, so I can feel at ease."

After a short pause, Qiao Zuwang looked at Chen Jiabang who was sitting next to him: "However, President Chen, Sanli and Simei live in Xiaocao's house now, and his family's situation is good, but if Simei follows you, your family's Can things be this good?"

Before Chen Jiabang could speak, Cao Zhiqiang who was standing on the side spoke first: "Uncle Qiao, you don't understand now, do you?
Think about it, my family can have so many good things, not to mention President Chen, who is older than me.

To be honest, the family conditions of President Chen's family are not worse than mine.

What's more, didn't we say before that after President Chen adopted Simei, it was mainly to facilitate Simei's settlement in the capital, and then he could have a permanent residence in the capital and go to school in the capital.

As for where Simei usually lives, she still lives with me, with Lili.

By the way, I usually don't live there, I have another house elsewhere.

The one living with Lili and Simei is a female student who is a postgraduate student, and she is also from Nanjing.

This female graduate student is a high-achieving student and lives with Simei and Lili. She can not only take care of their daily life, but also help them with their homework.

Of course, President Chen and his wife will often visit Simei. Even if President Chen is busy with work, Mrs. Chen will definitely visit Simei often.

In addition, if President Chen comes to Nanjing for a business trip in the future, he can also bring Sanli and Simei to visit you.

You don't have to worry about not seeing your child again after handing it over.

Lili and Simei have also introduced their lives before, and what they say will never lie to you, right?

So, Uncle Joe, what are you worried about?
Leave Simei to us and be able to live with my sister, it's better than living with outsiders, right?
And Simei followed, you can also reduce a big burden, can't you? "

After hearing Cao Zhiqiang's words, Chen Jiabang nodded quickly: "That's right, Xiao Cao is right, it's what I want to say."

Qiao Zuwang frowned, then lowered his head and sighed: "I understand the truth, but, after all, Simei is my child and has feelings.

Sanli has already gone, and only Simei is left at home.

If Simei also goes with you, I, I really can't bear it in my heart. "

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yicheng immediately sneered.

Perhaps others heard this and thought that Qiao Zuwang was really reluctant to part with his daughter.

But Qiao Yicheng knew that Qiao Zuwang had never been reluctant to talk about it.

What he said now was just to raise the price and sell Simei for a good price.

Of course, not only Qiao Yicheng knew about this, but Cao Zhiqiang and Chen Jiabang also knew about it.

Because before coming, Cao Zhiqiang had already told Chen Jiabang about Qiao Zuwang's situation.

In addition, Chen Jiabang, as the secretary of the factory director of a state-owned enterprise in the capital, is well-informed and has a full-scale ability to perceive words and emotions, so he can see through people like Qiao Zuwang at a glance, and he doesn't need Cao Zhiqiang to remind him in advance.

It seemed that after Qiao Zuwang opened his mouth, Chen Jiabang and his wife stopped talking to Cao Zhiqiang, and Qiao Yicheng became a little anxious.

He just moved his feet, wanting to go out and scold his father.

But for some reason, he just moved his foot, then retracted it, and continued to stand aside without saying a word.

"Hahaha." Chen Jiabang smiled suddenly, "Brother Qiao, let me think about it first, it's getting late, and it's time to eat, or, let's have a meal first, what's the matter, the dinner table is slow Let's talk slowly, what do you think?"

"Eat?" Qiao Zuwang's eyes lit up, and he rolled his eyes, "Eat well, why don't you wait here, and I'll order some dishes?"

"No need." Chen Jiabang said with a smile, "Brother Qiao, to tell you the truth, we are all new arrivals and are currently staying at the Jinling Hotel.

It’s all arranged there, and it’s a waste if you don’t eat it.

Otherwise, how about we go to Jinling Hotel for dinner? "

"Jinling Hotel?" Qiao Zuwang opened his mouth wide, "You mean the one at Xinjiekou, the tallest building in the country?"

Chen Jiabang smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's there."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jiabang said again: "To be honest, we came by car, and the car is waiting outside, I think it is enough to pull everyone over.

Otherwise, let's go over here, eat, drink, what's the matter, chat at the dinner table, how is it, brother? "

"That's a good relationship." Qiao Zuwang rubbed his hands, "Is it really Jinling Hotel?"

"Really." Chen Jiabang stood up, "Let's go, let's go now, don't worry, I will send a car to bring you back after eating."

"That's good." Qiao Zuwang said with a chuckle, "I've never been to that kind of place when I grow up so big, this time I have to have a good time."

Speaking of this, Qiao Zuwang said to Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang: "Yicheng, Erqiang, you two stay at home well, don't run around, I will bring you some food when I come back."

"What are you carrying?" Chen Jiabang said with a smile, "Let's go with the children, two cars are enough."

"Really?" Qiao Zuwang widened his eyes.

Chen Jiabang nodded: "Let's have fun together, it's all reimbursed by the unit anyway, it doesn't matter."

"That's that." Qiao Zuwang said with a smile, "Then let's walk together."

In this way, a group of people left Qiao's house, walked through the streets, and came to the street.

Sure enough, the two Duke taxis were still parked by the side of the road.

Seeing the two Nissan Duke sedans, Qiao Zuwang's eyes widened again: "Oh, is this an imported car? Oh, I have never been in such a good car in my life."

Chen Jiabang smiled and said, "Then you sit in the front, the co-pilot."

"Is this appropriate?" Qiao Zuwang pretended to decline.

"What's inappropriate." Chen Jiabang said with a smile, "That's it."

So, under Chen Jiabang's arrangement, Chen Jiabang and his wife, Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Lili took one car, and Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei took another car.

The two cars went straight to Jinling Hotel one after the other.

After arriving at Jinling Hotel, Qiao Zuwang gasped again.

After all, he didn't even dare to think about such a luxurious building before, and he didn't even dare to approach it, let alone enter it.

Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang were also stunned. They were obviously overwhelmed by this place, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Why are you just staring blankly." Chen Jiabang invited with a smile, "Let's go, Brother Qiao, let's go together."

Qiao Zuwang nodded cautiously: "Hey, yes, President Chen."

Afterwards, everyone filed in and went straight to the restaurant.

Because the box had already been reserved in advance, after arriving at the restaurant, I went directly to the big box.

The private room was huge in size and luxuriously decorated, Qiao Zuwang was dazzled and at a loss.

Even Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang didn't dare to speak after entering here, they just followed closely behind their father.

Even Qiao Simei was a little restrained, after all, she had never been to this kind of private room.

Cao Lili, on the other hand, has seen many big scenes in the capital and has a more stable temperament, so although she has never been to this kind of private room, she is not surprised, and she does not look envious or surprised.

On the surface, Chen Jiabang was the host of the banquet, so he quickly arranged the seats according to the banquet etiquette.

Chen Jiabang must be the guest of honor, Qiao Zuwang is the guest of honor, Cao Zhiqiang is the deputy guest of honor, and Madam Chen is the deputy guest of honor.

They were the adults at the main table, and the children like Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Simei, and Cao Lili ate alone at another table.

This was decided early in the morning, and it is most in line with the current situation.

I thought that a child is a child after all, if he is with an adult, firstly, the adult has something inappropriate to say, and secondly, the child will not be able to relax.

As it is now, a table for adults and a table for children, each discussing their own, is the most suitable arrangement.

Of course, since they are all in the same box, if one table wants to eavesdrop on another table's conversation, it's okay, it depends on whether you have the heart.

After everyone was seated, the food began to be served soon.

The reason why it is so fast is also because many hard dishes that take time are pre-ordered and started to be cooked in advance.

There are also some things such as rice and porridge, which are also prepared in advance.

As for some stir-fries, they don't take long and can be served quickly.

All in all, this is the highest standard foreign-related hotel in China after all. If it can be rated as a star, it must be a five-star hotel.

Therefore, some of the hospitality standards here, especially the way of serving food, are all learned from Xiangjiang, which is very scientific and humane.

As the big dishes came to the table, especially after Chen Jiabang took the initiative to open a bottle of Moutai, Qiao Zuwang immediately got carried away.

It can be said that everything here, whether it is every dish or every sip of wine, is beyond the imagination of Qiao Zuwang in the past.

But now, he is treated as the guest of honor, enjoying the treatment that leaders and foreign guests can only enjoy, eating and drinking well in this kind of foreign-related big hotel.

All of this is not enough because of a child, even a girl whom he doesn't think highly of.

Of course, Qiao Zuwang wasn't completely stupid.

In addition to the drink with Chen Jiabang, Chen Jiabang mentioned the names of some leaders in the capital from time to time, and even mentioned the names of some big leaders in NJ City, which made Qiao Zuwang amazed, but also felt a little nervous.

Only then did Qiao Zuwang realize that President Chen, who came from the capital, probably has a lot of background.

If you can use a daughter to make friends with such a leader, will the future be prosperous?

But if he refuses, in case someone is unhappy and wants to wear small shoes for him, isn't that the same as playing with an ant to death?
Thinking of this, Qiao Zuwang, who was already a little drunk, immediately sobered up more than half.

He immediately understood that this super-high-standard banquet was not only entertainment, but also a demonstration.

Think about it, a person who can casually live in such a high-end hotel in Nanjing and eat such a high-end banquet can be easily offended?

Anyway, he, Qiao Zuwang, certainly couldn't afford to offend such a person.

Therefore, whether he wants to or not, Qiao Simei's daughter may not be able to keep her.
