Zhang Ailan said with a gossipy face, although she felt that Mr. Xiao in front of her was very talented and well-dressed, but nowadays, a wedding banquet in Kyoto City usually costs hundreds of thousands. For an average young person
For people, it is definitely a big expense.
From Zhang Ailan's point of view, her sister-in-law's family had just paid off the debts they had owed over the years, so they might not have any extra money to hold a grand wedding.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ailan couldn't help but feel a little proud. After all, people are all vain. In the past, she always had to curry favor with the Huo family because of their prosperity. Later, after the Huo family had an accident and left for another country, she was praised by others because of her husband's promotion.
This time, when Mrs. Huo went back, Zhang Ailan felt a little jealous when she heard that her family had settled in Kyoto. After all, a house in Kyoto might cost tens of millions, and although her family's social status had improved,
But after all, he is a public official and is not very wealthy financially.
After hearing Zhang Ailan's words, Mrs. Huo's face changed slightly. She had never liked this sister-in-law very much. She was too realistic and too vain. This time she did not invite Zhang Ailan to come to Kyoto. Who knew that when the other party heard that Cao Lifang was coming to Kyoto, she
She made an excuse to come with her, and Mrs. Huo couldn't refuse.
Now that she heard what Zhang Ailan said, Mrs. Huo looked at Xiao Yihe awkwardly. Ever since her daughter and Xiao Yihe got together, Mrs. Huo had been feeling a little uneasy. She was worried that the Xiao family would not look down on her daughter, and that Xiao Yihe would one day
Lose the freshness.
At this time, Zhang Ailan's words made Mrs. Huo worry that Xiao Yihe would despise Huo Lan because of these relatives who did not know how to behave.
At this moment, Huo Lan spoke in a calm tone.
"Aunt? You are worrying too much. Our wedding is already being prepared. When the date is decided, we will definitely send you an invitation."
As Huo Lan spoke, he gave his mother a reassuring look, while Xiao Yihe on the side did not speak a word from beginning to end. He just sat quietly next to Huo Lan. Within a few minutes of coming in, he had already seen clearly
I understand the thoughts of these people in front of me.
When Zhang Ailan heard this, she said to herself, "Huh, when I mentioned the wedding, you said you were making preparations. I want to see what the wedding will be like."
At this time, Cao Sitong, who had been looking at Xiao Yihe since he came in, spoke, but she was not talking to Huo Lan.
"Brother-in-law, what is your job? I heard from my aunt that my cousin works in marketing. What about you, are you a colleague of my cousin?"
It seemed like a simple inquiry, but there was a hint of contempt. Xiao Yihe was a little confused. What kind of weirdness was this family? How could there be so much inexplicable sense of superiority.
However, Xiao Yihe didn't intend to reveal his identity, so he just replied lightly.
"I work in IT, and I have a cooperative relationship with Xiaolan's company."
"It turns out he's a programmer, but he doesn't look like him at all. In my impression, programmers all have plaid shirts and black-rimmed glasses. My brother-in-law is much more handsome than those."
Cao Sitong said lightly, and rarely praised Xiao Yihe's image. After hearing this, Xiao Yihe smiled and agreed.
"Thank you very much for your cousin's compliment on my appearance."
Huo Lan on the side couldn't help but smile softly when she heard what Xiao Yihe said. She didn't know that her man could still be so humorous.
At this time, Zhou Qi came over.
"Sister, I heard from my aunt that you work at Aotian Games. Do you know when your company's new game will be officially released? I didn't get an account during the public beta."
Zhou Qi is a game fan. His dream is to become a professional gamer. It seems that he has been spotted by a well-known e-sports club in the south and may be selected as a reserve player.
"Are you talking about the game "Heroes"?"
Huo Lan asked, this is the only game currently being tested by Aotian Games, and this is the one jointly developed by Aotian Games and Yaoyuan Group. It is estimated that it will be officially launched on the market in half a month.
When Zhou Qi heard this, he nodded like he was pounding garlic.
"Yes, that's right, this is the game. I heard that it was jointly developed by Aotian Games and Yaoyuan Technology. Originally, I wasn't very interested in this game, but with Yaoyuan Technology endorsing this game, then it won't matter.
It’s the same.”
Zhou Qi said enthusiastically, and suddenly mentioned Yaoyuan Technology. Xiao Yihe and Huo Lan looked at each other, and Xiao Yihe also became interested.
"Oh, you seem to know a lot about Yaoyuan Technology."
"Of course, I am the most loyal game and technology fan of Yaoyuan Technology. You see, my mobile phone, as well as the computers and notebooks at home, are all products of Yaoyuan Technology. Unfortunately, I originally wanted to replace it with another one.
Their new mobile phone just came out at the end of the year, but I couldn’t get it online, so I have to wait for two months.”
Zhou Qi had a disappointed look on his face when he finished speaking. After hearing this, Xiao Yihe raised the corner of his mouth slightly and seemed to have some plans in mind.
At this time, Zhang Ailan on the side heard about this and began to make her presence felt again.
"Xiao Qi, why didn't you tell me earlier? You have forgotten your cousin's boyfriend. He is the manager of Yaoyuan Technology. Isn't it just a word from him that you want to get a new mobile phone?"
As soon as Zhang Ailan mentioned her daughter's boyfriend, her face immediately lit up with pride. Even Cao Sitong beside her was full of confidence and smiling.
"No need to go to such trouble, just a mobile phone? I don't want to trouble others."
As soon as he heard this, he knew that the relationship between Zhou Qi and his aunt's family was not very good. If anyone else had such a convenience, they would have gathered around him immediately and would not have refused so simply.
No, after Zhou Qi finished speaking, Cao Lifang on the side also replied.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother Sitong's boyfriend. He's a kid. What kind of mobile phone should he change? His phone has only been used for a year and he can still use it."
"Lifang, you are usually too serious. Aren't young people these days always having fun? Look at my phone. It was made by Sitong's boyfriend during the Chinese New Year. It was also made by Yaoyuan.
New products in technology.”
With that said, Zhang Ailan took out a brand new mobile phone. Xiao Yihe looked at the model and saw that it was the company's new product. After all, it had only been on the market for a month. However, this series was their company's mid-range phone, which cost only two to three thousand yuan.
.
Zhou Qi also glanced at it, and then said something.
"Auntie, this is just a mid-range model from Yaoyuan Technology. What I want is their flagship model. The lowest configuration costs more than 7,000. This series of yours has been on the market for a long time."
"You kid, I didn't say what kind of flagship model this is. Sitong's boyfriend originally wanted to get me a better one, but I didn't want it. I'm already an old lady, so take it.
Such a good mobile phone is also a waste. Just in time, we are going out to eat soon, and when I see Xiao Liu, I will tell you, I think I can give you a discount of several hundred yuan."
Zhang Ailan said in a serious tone. Zhou Qi listened and didn't respond, just said softly.
At this time, Xiao Yihe suddenly spoke.
"Aunt, what is my cousin's boyfriend's main job at Yaoyuan Technology?"
Hearing this, Huo Lan knew that Xiao Yihe's bad taste was coming, but she didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, so she glared at Xiao Yihe. Xiao Yihe just smiled slightly and pinched the hand that he had been holding.
tiny hand.
When Zhang Ailan heard Xiao Yihe ask about her future son-in-law, you felt so proud that you could not help but speak in a high-pitched voice.
"I'm not very sure about this, Sitong, tell your brother-in-law what Xiao Liu does."
"He is doing marketing, but he is not at the head office of Yaoyuan Technology. He is responsible for several major northern provinces. This time he happened to go back to the headquarters for a meeting to learn what his brother-in-law's company does."
Cao Sitong asked curiously. She always felt that this cousin-in-law looked a little mysterious, and the face was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Our company does everything, including games, IT products, the Internet, and anything related to network technology."
"Oh, so your company and Yaoyuan Technology are peers? Have you cooperated with Yaoyuan Technology?"
Cao Sitong asked tentatively.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Ailan said with disdain.
"Sitong, look at what you said, Yaoyuan Technology is a large international company listed abroad. Do you think any company can cooperate with such a group?"
After saying that, Zhang Ailan looked at Xiao Yihe with an embarrassed expression and explained.
"I'm sorry, I'm not saying that the company you work for is not good. You are so young and you will definitely do something good in the future. Our Sitong's boyfriend also worked hard for five or six years before he took the position of manager.
"
As soon as Zhang Ailan said these words, the atmosphere in the living room condensed together, and everyone looked embarrassed. However, Zhang Ailan himself did not notice it at all, but looked complacent. Even Cao Sitong on the side felt that what his mother said was a bit too much.
Fortunately, a cell phone ringtone broke the awkward atmosphere. Cao Sitong picked up the phone. Zhang Ailan looked at it and immediately became excited again, saying as if offering a treasure.
"Look, this young couple can't even stay apart for a while. They have to make countless phone calls in a day. I guess the meeting with Xiao Liu is over by now."
Cao Sitong on the side connected the phone. I don’t know what was said over there. Cao Sitong just kept saying yes and hung up the phone after a while.
"Mom, aunt, aunt, Brother Cheng's work is over. Let's go over now. The place to eat is at Hong Kong Kee Cantonese Restaurant. Let's go over now."
As Cao Sitong spoke, he picked up the bag on the side and carefully patted the dust on it while carrying it.
"By the way, Lan Lan, you came here by car. We only have one car now. With so many people, I'm afraid we can't fit in it."
At this time, Zhang Ailan spoke again, with an expression as if you wouldn't be without a car. At this time, Mrs. Huo couldn't stand it anymore and said.
"The company arranged a car for Lan Lan. Let's go. I'll take Lan Lan's car and you guys will share a car. It's just right."
Mrs. Huo said that she just wanted to get rid of these people now. Who was she looking down on? She was worried that they would be unable to bear it and go to the hospital after they knew Xiao Yihe's identity.
