"Master, forget it, forget it, they didn't do it on purpose. Maybe they really didn't notice that Mr. Jiang was here."
"Yes, they are all family members..."
Xia Peilong looked at the people who were talking coldly and said, "I don't care whether they saw it or not. From now on, everyone in the Xia family must pay attention to their sense of propriety in front of Mr. Jiang. If there is such impolite behavior again, no matter it is
Anyone, no matter what the reason, will be severely punished!"
Many Xia family members looked at each other, some looked embarrassed, some lowered their heads slightly, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Jiang Zhihao saw the expressions of these people and knew that he must be quite bad in their impression now.
Regardless of whether you have the ability or not, if your family members were beaten as soon as they met, how can I think of you?
He sighed and went over and said: "I appreciate Mr. Xia's kindness, but there is really no need for this. How about this, I will drink tea instead of wine and toast to everyone."
With that said, Jiang Zhihao took the initiative to pick up the teacup, saluted the people who had just been beaten, and then drank it all in one gulp.
He took the initiative to lower his profile, which made some Xia family members who were just dissatisfied with him feel a little better.
Xia Peilong understood what Jiang Zhihao meant and said: "Mr. Jiang's work is admirable. I did something wrong. I'm sorry."
Jiang Zhihao smiled, knowing that his character could not change in a short time, so he didn't say much else.
Afterwards, everyone took their seats one after another, and Jiang Zhihao was naturally pulled to the main seat and sat down.
According to Xia Peilong's intention, he wanted to connect Jiang Zhihao to the Xia family. The purpose of today's meal was to let the family know him.
But Jiang Zhihao understands people's hearts better than he does, and knows that if the construction of the new district is not explained clearly, it will be difficult for the Xia family to have a good impression of him.
It's just that because of his personality, he doesn't like to explain these things. For him, the biggest significance of whether the Xia family can become friends is just to protect the people around him.
Even if the Xia family is lost, there is no loss. On the contrary, the Xia family is the weaker party, but many people do not realize this.
So during the meal, although a group of people showed some respect to Jiang Zhihao and looked very enthusiastic, it was all superficial and not heartfelt.
Although Xia Peilong was dissatisfied, he could not lose his temper in front of Jiang Zhihao. Doing so would only make him look too tough and easily create a rift in his family.
After a while, Lingling said she had a stomachache, and Zhong Jiawei got up and took her to the bathroom.
However, they didn't come back after a full twenty minutes. Jiang Zhihao was worried about the safety of the two of them, so he planned to go out and look for them.
Xia Peilong was about to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Zhihao: "I'm just going out for a look, and I'll be back soon. You guys can talk first."
After saying that, Jiang Zhihao got up and went out.
