"Honey, it's not good for me to dress too formally, so I'd better give me that casual outfit instead."
Zhang Chao walked out of the bathroom and said while taking off his clothes, "Tonight is a private banquet, not a business discussion. It's too awkward to dress like this."
Zhang Chao's wife walked out of the bedroom, holding clothes in her hands and said speechlessly, "I said Zhang Chao, I haven't seen you so nervous when I meet the manager of your company?
It's just that Xiao Chu asked you to have dinner, is there any need to make a fuss?"
"What do you, a woman, know?"
Zhang Chao glared and said, "With long hair and short knowledge, is Xiao Chu an ordinary person?"
Ordinary people would have a fleet of luxury sports cars come to the airport to pick him up?"
"Okay, Xiao Chu is not an ordinary person, but there is no need to take him so seriously, right?"
The wife was a little confused and said, "Those cars belong to his friends, not him. Besides, even if his family is rich and he is a rich second generation, it has nothing to do with you."
"What do you know!"
While Zhang Chao was changing his clothes, he walked over and whispered, "Honey, you are not as careful as I am. That day at the airport, I memorized the license plates of those supercars and checked them secretly. Guess what?"
"
"how?"
The wife was speechless and said, "Does the license plate still have an origin?"
"Nonsense, you can sometimes tell a person's strength by looking at his license plate!"
Zhang Chao said proudly and mysteriously, "Do you know?
Those license plates are all special license plates, and they are all obtained by powerful people."
"real or fake?
So... Xiao Chu is really not an ordinary person?"
The wife was a little puzzled and said, "But if Xiao Chu is really a second-generation rich man, then why didn't he take first class and come to the capital with us in economy class?"
"This is what I am puzzled about."
Zhang Chao shook his head and said, "In short, this Chu Nan is definitely not a simple young man. Even if he is not a rich second generation, he is at least a friend of those young masters. It is right to fawn over him."
"Why do we, an ordinary family, need to curry favor with those rich kids?
Besides, you work for an Internet company and are engaged in technology. It’s impossible for those young men to look down on people like you?
Don't put your hot face on someone's cold butt, isn't that embarrassing?"
"You think I do? I'm not just thinking about my family!"
Zhang Chao straightened his collar and said, "If you establish a good relationship with Xiao Chu, you can always ask him for help if you encounter any difficulties in the future."
"Yes, this society relies on favors, relationships, multiple friends and multiple paths. It's okay to make mistakes."
The wife nodded, agreeing with his point of view.
"Okay, hurry up and change your clothes so we can set off."
Zhang Chao said to his wife, "Let's go to the airport to pick up your parents, and then go to the dining place to meet Chu Nan. Time is very tight."
"I know, wait for me to change clothes."
When the wife said this, she paused and said with some hesitation, "Zhang Chao, are you saying that my parents came to the capital suddenly and unexpectedly, really just for fun?"
"Let me see... probably it's probably your brother's problem again."
Zhang Chao said while tying his tie, "That brother of yours is quite careless. He spends all day doing nothing but doing his job. Your parents always want to arrange a marriage for him. How can a woman like this kind of guy?"
"Hey, what kind of person is this? No matter what, he is still your brother-in-law. If I, the sister, and you, the brother-in-law, don't help, who will help him?"
The wife glanced sideways at Zhang Chao and said, "Why is it abnormal for my brother to get married?
Do you look down on our family?"
"I said, can you please stop making excuses?"
Zhang Chao was speechless and said, "Anyway, our family's little savings can't be used as bride price for your brother's marriage. We are planning to settle down in the capital. We should have bought a house long ago. I don't blame your parents for not providing the money."
They, please don’t keep asking for money for my house!”
"It shouldn't be... right?
It’s not like my parents don’t know our difficulties. Housing prices in Beijing are so expensive. It’s hard to save up a down payment, but they won’t ask us for it.”
The wife was a little unsure and said, "Maybe they...are really here for a trip?"
"I hope so, but I've almost taken care of your brother's affairs. The company's operations department is still short of a maintenance worker with a monthly salary of more than 5,000. I told the leader and the boss said he could give it a try."
"real?
?
Oh, hubby, you are so kind!"
Hearing Zhang Chao's words, his wife immediately jumped with joy and hugged him, kissed him hard several times, and said excitedly, "My parents will be very happy now."
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly and don't be late.
I don’t care if your parents are unhappy?"
Zhang Chao smiled and patted his wife's buttocks and said, "We'll talk about it tonight if you want to reward me."
"Who wants to reward you... Such a grown-up has no shame!"
The wife stomped her feet shyly, turned around and went into the bedroom to change clothes... More than an hour later, outside the Beijing Airport, Zhang Chao and his wife parked the car and entered the pick-up hall.
"You said these two elders are the same. If you are anxious about your brother, you don't have to come here in person, right?
When we returned to Yongning City a few days ago, we agreed that we would pick up your brother as soon as things are done here. How long has passed, and you can’t wait so hard? It’s really..." "Don't be poor, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are here.
It's not like I don't know how to be impatient by nature, but after all, they are my parents, so I won't be able to talk in a weird way for a while."
His wife glared at Zhang Chao, clearly showing dissatisfaction.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry. Aren't I worried about my elder brother's health? This plane ride is bumpy and bumpy, and I don't know if I can handle it even at my age..." Zhang Chao quickly explained, and before he could finish his words, he said to him
He pointed at the exit of the plane and said, "Look, your parents!"
Zhang Chao was indeed right, it was his wife's parents who came.
The two of them are also a bit older, and their clothes are relatively simple. They are obviously different from the crowd around them, and they are easy to recognize.
The wife soon shouted loudly and kept waving, until she caught the attention of the two elders and hurriedly walked over.
"Mom and Dad, are you okay on the road?
Are you dizzy on a plane?"
Zhang Chao's wife hurriedly took the luggage bag, then held her mother's hand and said, "You are the same. You rushed to the capital without explaining anything on the phone. Why don't you regard your age as your age?"
The two elders looked anxious, and their father spoke up and said, "Guihua, it's not that we have to rush here to disturb you. There is really no other way. This..." "Old man, after a while, these are all human beings.
Do you still care about such a small amount of time?"
The wife on the side stopped talking and gave him a sideways glance.
Zhang Chao and his wife Wang Guihua looked at each other, and seemed to vaguely see something was wrong from their parents' nervous and solemn expressions. However, they did not ask further questions. Instead, they left the airport lobby with their elders and came to the parking lot and sat down.
inside the car.
While driving the car, Zhang Chao glanced at the two elders in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, I just want to invite a friend to dinner today. You can go too later. Beijing Roast Duck, a century-old brand, you guys
You will definitely like it.”
"Um... son-in-law, there is no rush to eat this meal.
This time your mother and I came to the capital, actually... we wanted to ask for your help."
After Wang Guihua's father thought for a moment in embarrassment, he still said with a solemn expression, "We really don't know what to do, so we can only come to beg you."
"Dad, what's wrong?
Did something happen at home?"
Seeing his father's sad face, Wang Guihua's heart skipped a beat and finally realized that something was wrong.
"Gui Hua...you have to help your brother this time! You know, we only have one son in this life. If something happens to him, we two old people really won't be able to survive!"
