Zhao Dong didn't want to stay, but couldn't bear the clan leader's persuasion.
Although he was unhappy with Huang Zhiqiang, if he really left, he would inevitably be criticized.
Zhao Dong is not afraid of criticism, but the old man values his reputation very much.
As long as Huang Zhiqiang keeps his tail between his legs, he is not willing to cause any unpleasantness.
Besides, the clan leader warmly entertained him, and if he just walked away, it would be too disrespectful to the clan leader.
After thinking about it, Zhao Dong simply stayed.
There are several tables set up at home, all of which are large round tables for more than a dozen people.
According to the rules in my hometown, women are not allowed to sit at the same table when men are drinking, so all the women went into the back room.
If it had been a few years earlier, the women would have to wait until the men had finished eating before the women could be served.
Nowadays, of course, we don’t have those particularities.
The meals were cooked by some of the older women in the tribe themselves, and with their quick hands and fresh ingredients, the table was quickly filled.
There was one table in the main room outside and two tables in the courtyard.
The two tables in the courtyard are all members of the Zhao family who move around a lot.
As for the table in the main room, they are all elders with high moral standards, plus the juniors who are better off outside.
Zhao Dong is definitely here. With his current achievements, no one in the entire Zhao family can match him, so he is naturally qualified to sit here.
The second uncle took advantage of Zhao Dong's favor, and because of his seniority, he also sat down at the main seat, which he had never dared to imagine before.
Of course, the second uncle also knows that the clan members only care about Zhao Dong's face.
He didn't say anything, but he seemed to be enjoying it.
At the same time, the second uncle felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, Sophie eased the relationship with Zhao Dong after she came in. Otherwise, how could she have received such treatment when she returned to her hometown this time?
The second uncle thought to himself that if there was a chance in the future, he would have to let Zhao Dong support his son.
They are all brothers from the same clan. Isn't his son much stronger than Zhao Da?
As long as Zhao Dong is willing to help, even if he is as promising as Zhao Dong in the future, it would be good for his son to learn more skills from Zhao Dong!
Of course, he had mentioned this to his son several times in private, but Zhao Qing was unwilling to open his mouth because of his face, nor was he willing to get too close to Zhao Dong.
Thinking about it, the second uncle gave a signal with his eyes and asked Zhao Qing to sit next to Zhao Dong.
Zhao Qing sat down reluctantly. In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Dong.
After all, he has been the best in Tianzhou since he was a child.
He had good academic performance and was admitted to a prestigious local university in Tianzhou. After graduation, he found a good job as he wished.
But what about Zhao Dong?
I didn't even finish high school, so I worked as a security guard after being discharged from the army.
He always felt that if Zhao Dong hadn't been lucky enough to marry Sophie, how could a guy who never went to college have achieved what he did now?
In Zhao Qing's view, Zhao Dong's current abilities are all due to the Su family and Sophie's support behind him!
You must know that three months ago, Zhao Dong was still showing doors to people in a wealthy area. How come he has suddenly transformed into a self-made entrepreneur?
To put it bluntly, Zhao Dong just married a good woman and saved twenty years of hard work!
Otherwise, how could Zhao Dong be so famous today?
After thinking about it, Zhao Qing glanced into the back room and became more determined to pursue Su Qing!
Even Zhao Dong can catch Sophie, what's wrong with him?
...
During the banquet.
Everyone exchanged glasses and frequently went to Zhao Dong to propose a toast.
Even Huang Zhiqiang was deliberately making lies and asking about Zhao Dong's business and connections.
Zhao Dong didn't want to deal with such an occasion, but fortunately his elder brother helped to hold back the wine, so the banquet was lively and not a dull one.
