Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1079 Meeting the In-Laws 3
"Look, their family wants to buy a house and a car? Why do they look like nouveau riche?" Cheng Mingde said with a bit of sourness.

"You are such a person! You can say anything. You always fail because of your mouth. Be more polite when you speak to me." Bai Yang said.

Bai Yang is also quite troubled by her husband's mouth. He was like that in those years. Although he restrained himself, it was not much. If it weren't for the fact that his parents were martyrs, he would have been demoted like his uncle. But in recent years, he has become more serious.

"Dad, let me tell you, you are hating rich people. Their money is hard-earned money. They pay taxes in accordance with national policies. Besides, they brought you a gift. I guess they will give it to you when they come to my house tomorrow."

"Oh, he brought me a gift. I didn't expect this, but there's no rush. We can give it to him when we go to Sijiu City in the future. We have to go there anyway. Besides, no matter what he can give me, don't give me jewelry or something like that." Cheng Mingde said.

People like him are still somewhat aloof and look down on the nouveau riche. Especially what Jiang Yan said during dinner today, he felt a little disgusted, otherwise he would not have been so sarcastic when he came back today.

"Dad, you are so aloof again. I told you that Uncle Jiang was the deputy chief engineer before he went into business and was in charge of key projects."

"You said you used to be an engineer," Cheng Mingde interrupted.

"Yes!" Cheng Lina spoke a little confused.

"Wait a moment!" Cheng Mingde seemed to remember something and walked quickly into the study, leaving the mother and daughter in the living room frowning at each other, wondering what tricks their husband and father had played again.

"I was wondering why the name Jiang Yan sounded so familiar, so this is it." Cheng Mingde took out a slightly yellowed document from the study, on which was clearly written the "Arsenal Ship" plan.

"I'll have a good talk with him later." Cheng Mingde said with his hands gesticulating.

"Aren't you afraid of leaks?" Bai Yang asked.

"Don't worry, experts like him are permanently confidential personnel, there is no chance of leaking secrets, maybe his level is higher than mine!"

In the mid-20s, my country's navy formally proposed and established the "near-sea defense" strategy. According to this strategy, the navy's mission has reduced the component of cooperating with the army to defend the country, and increased the content of maintaining the unity of the motherland, safeguarding territorial integrity and safeguarding maritime rights and interests. The weapons are mainly small, fast and submersible. Large surface ships are quite limited, and the country's ability to build ships is limited. Therefore, the research is still mainly focused on missile speedboats and submarines. This is the case with the research institute where Cheng Mingde works. He is a special team leader in the research of missile speedboats.

Cheng Mingde spoke only after he had calmed down from his excitement.

"By the way, wife, call your eldest brother and ask him to ask about the house."

"Why are you so active?" Bai Yang asked curiously.

"We must do what we promised. They know it, and we should understand it. Besides, their son will work in Qingdao in the future and won't be able to return to them. This is just a disguised son-in-law." Cheng Mingde said happily.

"You! I really don't know what to say to you." Bai Yang said with a smile. After that, he picked up the phone and called his eldest brother. On the one hand, he asked them to help inquire about the situation, and on the other hand, he asked them to come over to meet tomorrow.

……

The next day, Cheng Lina took her parents to pick up Jiang Yan and his family.

"Brother, why don't we go home and eat? I'll ask our cafeteria to send a cook, and we'll have a seafood dinner today. The taste is not much worse than that of Shiweitian. Besides, it's not cheap to eat here. Even though you have money, it's hard to reserve a table at Shiweitian at this time." Jiang Yan was a little puzzled when he saw Cheng Mingde, who was much more enthusiastic today. When they met yesterday, he could feel that he was an old-fashioned literati, and a researcher. He had a sense of aloofness and his enthusiasm was a bit fake. However, his attitude was obviously different today. He didn't know what happened.

"It's okay. Food is the restaurant opened by my brother, and the head chef is basically his apprentice."

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Cheng Mingde opened his eyes wide and spoke in disbelief.

"Your business is quite big, brother!"

"Don't you often ride in the cars made by Uncle Jiang and his team?" Cheng Lina interrupted.

"You mean, that Mercedes-Benz 2 Series car." Cheng Mingde thought for a moment and spoke.

"Yeah! Maybe you have another car."

"You girl, you are really sharp-tongued. I admire you." Cheng Mingde said with a smile.

However, a huge wave was rising in his heart. He knew very well that BMW was a giant enterprise in China and their cars were very popular. Even the cars in his own research institute were all obtained by his director through the back door.

"welcome."

"Here is my card. Ask your manager to arrange the largest private room for you. Just show him the card and he will understand." Jiang Yan took out a black card from his arms and handed it to the waiter.

"Okay, please take a rest first, I'll call the manager now."

When each of their employees was trained, the trainers introduced such black cards. There were not many black cards, only less than fifty, and these fifty cards were all numbered. It was said that the first ten cards could directly mobilize the funds of the entire hotel. However, she had never seen such a black card in all her time working here. The most common one she had seen was a 001% discount card. So when she saw the card numbered , she was a little curious, but she didn't ask and walked quickly to the manager's office.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, how can I help you? I am the manager of this hotel and my last name is Chang." After a while, a slightly plump man in his forties wearing a suit ran over, spoke to Jiang Yan respectfully, and then handed Jiang Yan the card with both hands.

"Who is the head chef today?" Jiang Yan asked after taking the card.

Shiweitian Company adopts a dual store manager system. The head chef is responsible for managing the kitchen and purchasing, while the hotel manager is in charge of the front and daily accounts. Although there is no saying who is higher than the other, generally speaking, the head chef listens to the manager.

"It's Zheng Ming, Chef Zheng, do you need me to ask him to come over?"

Jiang Yan was a little unfamiliar with the name Zheng Ming, but one thing was certain: this person must be He Yuzhu's apprentice, because his only apprentices were Ma Hua and a few others. In fact, Jiang Yan's judgment was correct, as this person was Ma Hua's apprentice. However, since he was from Qingdao, he became the head chef in the Qingdao store after completing his apprenticeship.

When Chef Zheng Ming heard the manager's words, he immediately put down his work and went to the lobby. He was stunned when he saw Jiang Yan sitting there.

"Why is this gentleman here?"
