Chapter 26 You don't understand this bit of etiquette?
A smile appeared on Zhou Wei's face.
"Xiao Chang is here." Jiang Taoling's face was filled with joy and enthusiasm to the extreme. She left Chen Fan aside and pulled Chang Fan in.
This Chang Fan completely meets all the criteria for a golden son-in-law, rich in wealth, handsome, capable, sunny and positive.
In such a comparison, Chen Fan looks even more loser and completely unattractive.
The aunt and uncle were full of enthusiasm and pulled Chang Fan to sit down. Zhou Yu was playing with his mobile phone and looked at Chen Fan very mockingly. There was no hope for a loser like this. This slap in the face was a slap in the face.
Zhou Tongying was very anxious on the side and couldn't help but look at Chen Fan secretly. This situation was completely unexpected by her.
People at the table actually forced Chen Fan and Chang Fan to sit together, and they sat together as a "family" to eat together. Jiang Taoling frequently picked dishes for Chang Fan, one bite at a time, and she was very affectionate, while her aunt and
My uncle and Chang Fan were chatting frequently at the dinner table, which was very lively. For a moment, Chen Fan seemed to be an outsider.
However, Chen Fan didn't feel cramped at all and continued to eat indifferently.
"Jiangcheng's economic construction has been pretty good in the past two years. Secretary Qi previously wrote "Jiangcheng's Three-Step Economy: Analysis of the Transfer from Urbanization Economy to Export Trade". I read it day and night and it was deeply inspiring." Zhou Wei sighed now.
He said, "The construction of Jiangcheng has indeed entered a certain bottleneck period, and some of Secretary Qi's lofty views are really far-sighted."
"I happen to have read this material." Chang Fan nodded slightly, very appropriately. He was chatting and laughing at this dining table, his conversation was extraordinary, and it was eye-catching, "In my opinion, although Secretary Qi's views are novel,
But it also has its shortcomings. For example, judging from the location of Jiangzhou, if it develops into a port city..."
Chang Fan talked eloquently for a while, and Zhou Wei's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this. Although Chang Fan's views are a bit immature, they can be regarded as personal insights to a certain extent and hit the nail on the head. As an old cadre, Zhou Wei naturally knows people well.
vision.
The two of them became more and more attached to each other as they talked at the dinner table. From the economy of Jiangzhou to international trade and the world structure, Chang Fan could talk eloquently. After just a few words, Zhou Wei seemed to have found a soulmate for a moment.
Same.
From beginning to end, Chen Fan couldn't get a word in.
That's right, Chen Fan doesn't understand.
Chen Fan knew nothing about what they were talking about, from the international situation to Jiangzhou's economy. As a real person who had experienced the Northern Tribulation Star for thousands of years, everything that had ever happened on this earth seemed like a passing cloud in Chen Fan's eyes.
, naturally I can’t remember it.
As Chang Fan spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Fan with this gaze. Seeing that Chen Fan lowered his head and said nothing from the beginning to the end, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. He knew that Chen Fan couldn't get a word in.
Comparing the pros and cons, the outcome is clear.
Zhou Wei was half-hearted when talking about it, and then he noticed Chen Fan who was silent on the side, and asked, "Xiao Fan, what do you think about this?"
Chen Fan put down his chopsticks, shook his head politely and said, "I don't understand these."
Zhou Wei suddenly looked disappointed. He really had nothing in common with Chen Fan. When the aunt and uncle next to him heard this, they were also very contemptuous. This is because they have different classes. They can't even talk together. If they
With Xiao Zhang here, the three of us can talk more happily.
Now Chen Fan is fine. He sat and listened like a fool from beginning to end. I don’t know if he felt embarrassed or not.
Now he should know shame and the gap between people, right?
"Xiao Chang, don't just talk about it, eat vegetables." Jiang Taoling was full of enthusiasm. She was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She quickly picked a large and tender piece of braised pork for Chang Fan.
"Thank you, Auntie." Chang Fan said quickly and politely.
"By the way, these are some gifts I brought back to you two from my last business trip to the United States." Chang Fan stood up and took out a gift box at the right time. Chang Fan deliberately opened it in front of Chen Fan.
Jiang Taoling and Zhou Wei couldn't help but exclaimed, and Chang Fan said with a smile, "Uncle, this is a pipe I bought for you. I brought it back from Chinatown. I know you like smoking. This pipe is also one of the collections.
It’s worth twelve thousand.”
Zhou Wei's eyes lit up. This pipe was very exquisite and he was very satisfied.
"Auntie, this is a necklace I bought for you from Bulgari, worth more than 40,000 yuan."
"As for Tongying, this is a ladies' watch I bought for you." In front of Chen Fan, Chang Fan was enthusiastic and handed a ladies' watch to Zhou Tongying, "I carefully selected this for you.
The gift is probably worth about 100,000 yuan."
Chang Fan smiled slightly, as if he was speaking in a calm manner, but in fact, his move was quite generous. The aunts and uncles on the side all exclaimed, "A watch worth 100,000 yuan! This move is too generous."
A little more, right?
Zhou Yu was also shocked from ear to ear. It was one thing to be rich, but it was another thing to be so generous!
When Zhou Tongying saw this watch being delivered to her, the suppressed anger in her heart almost reached the extreme. She pushed it away fiercely, "Whoever wants your things, take it away!"
"Tongying, this is your fault!" The aunt on the side said quickly, "Xiao Chang has good intentions no matter what, how could you do this?"
As she said that, the aunt stood up immediately and said with a bright face, "Don't worry, Xiao Chang, Tongying is just having a bad temper. I'll thank you for her." As she said that, the aunt actually accepted it directly for Zhou Tongying.
Down.
"Thank you very much, Xiao Chang, what a great watch!"
The aunt smiled happily.
"Auntie, give it back to him!" Zhou Tongying felt like she was going crazy. She took such a valuable thing, and she couldn't afford to repay the favor!
Seeing the gift given out, Chang Fan was very proud. It would not be that simple to return the favor after giving it away. I am afraid it would cost a lot. Moreover, Chen Fan had never been so generous to Zhou Tongying in his life, right?
My aunt didn't, and her voice was louder than Zhou Tongying's, "Xiao Changxing is so kind to you, why are you not grateful at all?"
The aunt was simply heartbroken, pointing at Chen Fan and saying, "Is it possible? Do you count on him?"
"How much is his monthly salary? Two thousand yuan! Is it enough to buy this pipe if he doesn't eat or drink for five months?"
"As for this watch, haha." My aunt was extremely contemptuous, "Ask him yourself, if he has not eaten or drank for five years, can he afford this watch?"
As soon as these words came out, there was endless embarrassment. The whole room seemed to be quiet. All eyes turned to Chen Fan. Chen Fan also put down the chopsticks in his hand. Chang Fan secretly sneered in his heart. This aunt was
The more he spoke, the more cheerful he became, "What's the future for you and a man like this? Besides, when he saw him coming over with empty hands, he knew that he would come over to eat. Not to mention whether it's embarrassing or not, it's etiquette, etiquette."
"Even a countryman understands this bit of etiquette, right?" The aunt was very disdainful. He really felt that this man was hopeless. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't even know this thing.
"Ask him yourself if he has brought it!" the aunt said sarcastically, almost poking Chen Fan's forehead with a finger, feeling proud.
Zhou Tongying was so angry that she wanted to argue, but Chen Fan said skillfully, "Take it with me."
"Gah." The aunt's face couldn't help but froze. The expression on her face suddenly became very wonderful. The whole table was silent. Chen Fan took out a package and slowly opened it. There was a sound of gasping breaths all around. In this bag, there was a sudden sound.
Looking at an extremely exquisite jade inkstone, this jade inkstone is very delicately carved, with a hint of charm and ancient meaning.
A black jade ring is definitely no ordinary black jade ring. It shows the color of the times and the black nobility of an emperor.
In comparison, what Chang Fan took out looked like scrap metal.
The whole room suddenly fell silent. Zhou Wei's eyes widened and he slowly picked up the jade inkstone and said incredulously, "If I read it correctly, this seems to be a jade inkstone from the Qing Dynasty? Is it worth one million?"
Bar?"
In one sentence, Chang Fan's face turned green.
"Impossible." Immediately, the aunt's disdainful voice interrupted Zhou Wei's fantasy, "It's just him, what can I buy? I can't afford it even if I sell all his belongings! This thing is just a
Have you never seen these crappy things from street stalls?"
"That's right." My uncle sneered, "There are them all over the antique street, and they cost ten yuan each."
They had never seen antiques before. They were not from this industry and could not identify them. So they just said with a sneer.
Chang Fan also sneered at the side, "I'm not talented, I happen to have learned some antique appraisal, these things are just glass paste, they cost about five yuan or ten yuan, Chen Fan, you are the same, how could you just buy this kind of thing for your uncle?"
Woolen cloth?"
Zhou Wei suddenly looked disappointed and threw the thing back, quite angry.
