Chapter 373 The position of the head of the Zhou family
The old man and the old lady refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Usually, the old lady followed the old man's will, but this time she went against the old man's wishes. Everyone in the Zhou family couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Zhou Xiaorong was even more stunned, but in her heart, she was very moved.
Her mother's love for her was most vividly reflected at this moment.
After a brief silence, Zhou Anhuai compromised.
"That's all, tomorrow is your eightieth birthday party. I don't want to argue with you, but I can only let them stay at home for one night." Zhou Anhuai stood up, left a word, flicked his sleeves, and returned to the study.
The old lady also relaxed her brows and smiled.
After arranging the room, everyone had dinner at home at noon. There were thirty people in the Zhou family, ranging from young to old, and a total of three tables were set up.
There is one table for the elders, one for the women, and one for the juniors.
This was originally just an ordinary family dinner, but because of the presence of Mohai's family, the atmosphere was a little subtle.
"By the way, your mother's birthday is going to be grand and grand tomorrow. You guys, after living in Hangzhou for so many years, you should have accumulated a lot of connections. Let's do it this way. Which one of you will invite the most distinguished guests tomorrow? And
The most important thing is that from now on, I will be the head of the Zhou family." Zhou Anhuai suddenly spoke loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked. Everyone looked at Zhou Anhuai with different expressions.
"Dad, as long as you are here, you are the head of the family, and we don't dare to make any mistakes." Zhou Changyong said quickly.
"I am getting older, and my energy is not as good as before. It is time for me to retire. I don't want to ask more about family matters in the future. For the position of head of the family, I should choose one of you, and you are all my children.
They are all excellent. I cannot favor one over the other and decide the position of the head of the family at will. I can only see which of you has the most face tomorrow and can invite the most distinguished guests to prove who is the best. In this way, we can choose the next member of our Zhou family.
You should have no objections to the appointment of the head of the family, right?" Zhou Anhuai said.
"Dad, is this even necessary? The eldest brother must have the most respect. The position of head of the family must belong to the eldest brother." The eldest sister Zhou Xiuli said with a smile.
When Zhou Changyong heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly on his face, but he still said politely: "Xiuli, you can't say that, the second child, the third child, and your connections are not simple. It's really
If you compare, I may not be able to compete."
The second eldest brother Zhou Changlei, the third eldest brother Chang Ji and others smiled and said nothing. If the old man really wants to choose the head of the family in this way, then they will have to fight no matter what. They have not been in Hangzhou for so many years.

"Dad, are you sure you want to do this? If you are sure, then we will take it seriously." Zhou Changlei asked.
"Of course I take it seriously. If you don't have any objections, this matter will be settled." Zhou Anhuai said seriously.
"Since dad said so, I have no objection." Zhou Changyong said with a smile. If the old man decides on the position of head of the family in this way, he will not be afraid of anyone. The mobile phone will remember to provide you with exciting novels in one second.
"I don't have any objection either."
"I don't have any objection either."
The Zhou family expressed their opinions one after another. Originally, everyone thought that the old man would definitely pass on the position of head of the family to the eldest son, but now that the old man uses this method, everyone has a chance, so naturally no one objects.
"Dad, we daughters will also participate. If we are lucky enough to win, then we will not be polite as the head of the family." Zhou Xiuli said with a smile.
"Of course, it all depends on your ability." Zhou Anhuai said.
"By the way, Xiaorong, do you want to come and participate? It's possible that you will be the next head of our Zhou family." Zhou Xiuli looked at Zhou Xiaorong and said with a smile. Although her words seemed kind, they were a bit harsh.
"Haha, I'm very curious. How much knowledge has she accumulated after running away for so many years? Why don't she show it tomorrow?"
"Don't underestimate Mo Weiguo. I heard that he had served as a soldier and had made meritorious service. Is it possible to invite the chief of his army?"
"I have been living in a small county town for so many years, how could I not have any connections? If the time comes to invite the county magistrate, it will be a big deal."
"Haha, they can also invite the county chief. I think it would be good if they can invite the village chief."
"It's not like the village chief. I think the township chief can still be invited."
At the dinner table, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. The people of the Zhou family burst out laughing, seizing on one point and making fun and ridicule to their heart's content.
Zhou Xiaorong frowned. She naturally had no interest in the position of the head of the Zhou family. She was about to refute when Mo Hai spoke.
"Since you insist on asking my mother to participate, we have to give you face. Mom, just agree. Although you don't like the position of the head of the Zhou family, you can play this game and give it to grandma tomorrow.
To help with the birthday banquet." Mo Hai's voice sounded slowly, with a calm tone.
Zhou Xiaorong was shocked at first when she heard her son's words, but when she thought of her son's current abilities, she no longer had any worries.
"Okay, then I will participate, dad. If I win tomorrow, don't regret it." Zhou Xiaorong said with a smile.
Now, it was the Zhou family's turn to be shocked. They didn't take Zhou Xiaorong seriously at all. They thought that Zhou Xiaorong would have no face to participate in such a thing, but now, Zhou Xiaorong went against common sense and actually agreed with a smile on her face.
This is a bit surprising.
However, the Zhou family was only slightly shocked. When they came back to their senses, they looked disdainful again. Zhou Xiaorong wanted to compete with them for connections. Isn't this a case of overestimating one's own abilities?
Zhou Anhuai did not expect that Zhou Xiaorong would agree with confidence. He sneered and said: "If you win, why not let you take over the position of head of the Zhou family? What I'm afraid of is that you will be embarrassed tomorrow.
There are so many celebrities here, if you embarrass our Zhou family, when the time comes, even if your mother is protecting you, I will drive you away."
"Xiaorong, please stop getting involved. How can you compare to your brothers and sisters when it comes to connections and connections?" the old lady said worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Zhou Xiaorong smiled.
The old lady was helpless, her eyes full of worry.
"Zhou Xiaorong, you are really thick-skinned. Not to mention what distinguished guests you can invite, even if you can invite the leaders of your company, I will be impressed by you." Zhou Changyong sneered.
"Brother, don't look down on others. We haven't seen each other for so many years. How do you know that my connections are not as good as yours?" Zhou Xiaorong said with a smile. With the support of her son, she became more confident.
"That's enough, don't pretend in front of me. Who doesn't know what connections you can have after spending so many years in a small county? What if you invite the county magistrate? I'm afraid you don't know that at my level,
Let alone your small county town, even if I go to your city, you have to be received by the mayor personally." Zhou Changyong said proudly.
Zhou Xiaorong smiled and did not refute. Although she didn't know who her son could invite, their status would definitely not be low.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaorong didn't speak, Zhou Changyong continued: "Zhou Xiaorong, I will put it down in front of everyone today. I won't say that you can beat me tomorrow. As long as you can invite a person worth over 100 million, or in other words, the director
For the above guests, I will give you a house in Hangzhou."
"Brother, what's a house? I don't care about it. If I beat you tomorrow, you just need to apologize to me in public." Zhou Xiaorong said.
