Huang Junrong was sitting at the main seat, holding a steamed bun in his hand that was chewing deliciously. He drank a few mouthfuls of millet porridge, then picked up a mouthful of shallots mixed with tofu. His expression was very enjoyable.
But the other people around the table ate tasteless food. They picked it up and down with their chopsticks and didn't put anything in their mouths.
Usually when we go out, we have three meals a day, which meal is not delicacies from the mountains and seas, such as bird's nest and shark's fin, but every time we go back to the old man's place for a family dinner, it feels like we are back in the 1980s.
However, this is the lifestyle that Huang Junrong has insisted on since he was young. Although the family is not short of money, the old man's concept of being diligent and thrifty has always remained unchanged.
It's just that Huang Zhiwen and his generation can no longer live a simple life. They drive those mid-range cars and pretend to be an old man, which saves the old man from losing his temper and swearing at others.
"Dad, the doctor said that your body is healthy. You can't just eat vegetarian food. You must eat some meat to supplement your nutrition!"
Huang Zhiwei, who was in his fifties, already had the fat belly of a middle-aged man and a sparse bald head. He picked up the braised pork and wanted to hand it to Mr. Huang's bowl, but the old man opened it with chopsticks.
"Since your mother passed away, I haven't eaten meat for more than 20 years. Isn't my body still strong? Don't listen to the nonsense of those doctors who just want to make you sick and then make money from you."
"Uncle, my grandfather is right. Doctors abroad have now studied that eating too much meat is bad for the body. Excessive accumulation of protein and fat can easily cause the 'three highs'!"
Huang Bin said he didn't eat meat, but he picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. The uncle he called was Huang Zhiwei, who also worked at Feihuang Group, and his status was second only to Huang Zhiwen.
"Third high school student? You kid can joke around. Your cousin has been studying abroad for so many years and he never said he was not allowed to eat meat!"
Huang Zhiwei smiled nonchalantly and looked at Mr. Huang, "Dad, Huang Heng will be back for the Chinese New Year this year."
"good."
Huang Junrong's face was expressionless, showing no emotion or anger, "You haven't been back for more than four years, right? It's time to come back."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Zhiwen's expression changed slightly. His third uncle Huang Zhizhong and his brother-in-law Huang Zhihong also kept their heads down and said nothing, but Huang Zhiwei smiled slightly.
"Dad, Huang Heng has been doing work-study abroad in the past few years and also started his own company. He called and mentioned that he wanted to work for Feihuang Group when he came back. Starting from the lowest level, he has to prove himself through his own efforts."
"Okay, he has a bit of the spirit of a boy from our Huang family."
Huang Junrong put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked at Huang Zhihong, "Fourth, I heard that there is something wrong with the supermarket you manage?"
"yes……"
Huang Zhihong trembled. What should come will come. He swallowed hard and said, "Dad, I was careless and cooperated with a low-quality bicycle. As a result, there was a problem with the bicycle, which affected the efficiency of the supermarket. But I will think about it immediately.
Method."
"What on earth can you do? Ah? You can't handle the group's business, and you can't manage a small supermarket? If it really doesn't work, I think you can just stay at home."
Huang Junrong's expression did not change, but his tone became very stern. He looked at Huang Zhihong and shook his head in disappointment.
"Can't you learn from your brother? After all these years, even if you just watch, you can learn how to manage a company, right? Look at your third brother, although he is not very capable, he can at least handle the things he is told beautifully.
"
Huang Zhizhong smiled awkwardly, and he couldn't tell whether the old man was praising him or hurting him, but he didn't curse, which meant that the old man was not angry.
"Dad, it's actually not easy for the fourth child. In the past two or three years, under the management of the fourth child, the supermarket's turnover has doubled. I think he was careless this time, so don't blame him.
"
Huang Zhiwen was well aware of the matter of dancing and cycling, and he also knew that the fourth child did not mention Huang Bin, so he planned to take full responsibility for the matter. Since the fourth child had already expressed his attitude, of course he had to protect him.
"Second brother, I have left the Huang family's business to you for a long time. Logically speaking, I should no longer be involved in the group's affairs, but for those who fail to succeed and fail, I should leave them.
, Our family doesn’t have much talk, no matter what position, the person with the ability will occupy it, understand?”
"clear!"
Apart from nodding in agreement, Huang Zhiwen had no reason to object.
Survival of the fittest and respect for the strong, this is what they have been taught since they were young. However, these words were spoken at a delicate moment when Huang Bin got into trouble and Huang Heng was about to return to China, which inevitably makes people wonder.
"I'm going for a walk. You can all go back after eating."
The old man stood up and glanced at Huang Bin as he passed by, "Grandson, don't do stupid things that endanger yourself in the future, and you must wipe your mouth clean when eating secretly."
"I know, Grandpa."
This was the first thing Huang Bin's grandfather said to him when he returned to the capital from Qingshu County. He didn't know whether he was talking about the bad things in Qingshu County or the bicycle incident. He just bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
The old man went out, and everyone threw their chopsticks on the table in disgust. Huang Zhiwen shouted to the kitchen, "Auntie, please clear the table."
Huang Zhizhong sighed, "Fourth brother, can't you let everyone save some time? I'm so worried about this meal, for fear that our dad will blow his beard and glare and scold everyone."
Huang Zhihong still didn't speak, and Huang Zhiwei, as the eldest, helped to smooth things over, "Third brother, our dad has already scolded the fourth child, so don't stop scolding him endlessly. The fourth child is also anxious to make some achievements. Besides,
No one can make a mistake yet, just pay attention in the future."
"You've made a mistake and you're not allowed to talk about it? I..."
Huang Zhizhong wanted to say something else, but Huang Bin suddenly stood up and said, "I'm full and I'm leaving first."
"Well, are you all full? Then let's go."
The four Huang Zhiwen brothers were all living outside, and only the old man lived in the villa. After everyone left, the villa returned to its former peace, with only the aunt left cleaning up the dishes and cleaning.
On the way back, Huang Bin drove the car and Huang Zhiwen sat in the back seat with a stern look on his face.
I gave up on fighting for the position of the head of the family, but I didn’t expect that you would actually be cheating on me right under my nose!”
"So what? Dad has been running the Feihuang Group for more than ten years. Without Dad's hard work, the group would not be the size it is today. What's more, the group is all our people, so my uncle can turn over.
sky?"
Huang Bin curled his lips disdainfully. In his heart, he was the future heir of the Huang family, and no one could change this reality.
"Nonsense, your grandfather has known about the bad things in Qingshu County for a long time, but because you were able to escape unscathed, your grandfather didn't embarrass you. What kind of shabby bicycle did you make this time!"
"It's okay for you to secretly pay for it, but why are you blaming Longmart Supermarket? Aren't you slapping me in the face? If your uncle hadn't taken care of the matter this time, you wouldn't have been able to bear the consequences.
"
"Being beaten and scolded is a trivial matter. I'm afraid that your grandfather will be too disappointed with you. If your cousin comes back from abroad, I'm afraid that the Feihuang Group that your father and I have worked hard to run for half our lives will fall into the hands of your cousin.
