Zhang Dachuan was sitting between Su Weimin and his wife. He felt like an ornamental animal, being looked at from the inside out by their gazes. He couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed.
In order to ease this awkward atmosphere, he could only break the silence and ask:
"Uncle, what do you do for a living? Don't you need to go to work today?"
Su Weimin said "Ah" and just when he was about to speak, he heard Sun Wanli say angrily:
"Don't mention it, our Su family has a winery. Originally, the old man asked the two brothers to jointly manage it."
"But your uncle is a clumsy guy who doesn't know how to adapt. He's honest and doesn't get into trouble. So he was slowly squeezed out by his shrewd brother and defrauded all his rights. Now he's just a deputy in name only. Factory director."
"Work? He wants to go to work, but the problem is that they won't let him go at all. They only give him a basic salary every month and then send him away."
Su Weimin suddenly lost his temper, and upon hearing this, he immediately retorted:
"What do you mean by not being able to get into trouble? Does it mean that someone like Zhang Gensuo, who flatters and fawns over you, is capable of getting into trouble?"
"I can't do it if I want to join those guys who only know how to flatter and do nothing."
Sun Wanli immediately gave a thumbs up, then clicked her tongue and said:
"Yes, you are noble and awesome! No matter how flattering Zhang Gensuo is, he is still an old man left behind when he founded the winery. He has a certain influence in the factory."
"Look at my second son, he is so close to Zhang Gensuo that the old man made him the factory director."
"On the contrary, you, the eldest son, ended up drifting back and forth, and could only be a deputy factory director in name only. Can your aristocracy be used as food?"
Su Weimin scratched his neck and said angrily:
"What's wrong with the deputy director? As deputy director, I still enjoy my leisure time. I go to work when I want to and don't go when I don't want to. The money I should get at the end of the month will not be less."
As soon as she said this, Sun Wanli's dissatisfaction in her heart could no longer be suppressed. She slapped the table, pointed at Su Weimin's nose and said angrily:
"So I say you are ignorant. You are happy and content with your dead salary. Then do you know how much money Su Weiye and Zhang Gensuo have secretly made? They have enriched their own pockets over the years. That money is enough for your salary for decades!”
Su Weimin was an upright and strong-willed man who would rather break than bend. Even though he knew that what his wife said was the truth, it was not an option in his opinion. He waved his hand and said dullly:
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, I can sleep well with this money."
After saying that, he turned away and took out his mobile phone to watch the news alone without arguing.
Seeing this, Sun Wanli could only angrily ignore him, and said to Zhang Dachuan embarrassedly:
"Dachuan, don't mind. We usually like to quarrel like this, so I didn't scare you."
Zhang Dachuan shook his head quickly.
Sun Wanli said again:
"You must be quite tired after driving all the way. Why don't you go to Yun'er's room to rest first? We'll call you when the chicken soup is ready."
Zhang Dachuan was indeed a little tired after driving all the way. In addition, he was new here and had not yet found a way to get along with these two elders. He nodded, got up and went into Su Yun's bedroom to rest.
As soon as the bedroom door closed, Sun Wanli completely let go, poked Su Yun in the waist, and asked:
"Yun'er, tell mom, how far have you progressed?"
"When do you plan to get married? I think this young man is quite good."
Su Yun blushed greatly, shook her head and said shyly:
"It's not that fast. I just divorced Guo Yaozu not long ago... How can we just say we're getting married?"
Sun Wanli said nonchalantly:
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You're such a grown-up person, you've experienced everything you need to go through, and you're not just a young girl who hasn't passed the exam yet."
Of course Su Yun knew what her mother meant. She was so flustered that she whispered:
"Oh, don't worry about it blindly. I know my affairs well."
Sun Wanli was worried:
"I knew better than to marry that rotten person in the first place."
After saying that, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly made up for it:
"Anyway, it's not easy to meet the right person in your life. If you miss it once, you may not have a chance to get it back. You have to hold on tight."
"Your father and I have seen this Zhang Dachuan just now. We all think there is nothing wrong with him, he is reliable, and he is a person who lives a good life."
Su Yun said "hmm":
"I know, Mom, I'll seize the opportunity."
The time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for the dinner that Albert Su had agreed upon.
Zhang Dachuan drove his car and followed the navigation instructions to a luxurious hotel called Jiudingxian.
Jiudingxian is the most famous five-star hotel in Bailong City. The square in front of the hotel is full of luxury cars.
It's not dark yet, but the place is already brightly lit, and there's an endless stream of guests coming in and out wearing bright clothes, making it very lively.
Everyone got out of the car. Su Weimin and Sun Wanli looked at the majestic building in front of them, grinning from ear to ear in surprise:
"Is this the place where Weiye agreed? Could it be a mistake?"
"This is a five-star hotel. A meal costs a lot of money."
Zhang Dachuan looked at the location on his phone and said with certainty:
"That's right, this is the place they posted the location."
Su Weimin immediately frowned:
"Our family is not that wealthy. It would be too wasteful to eat here."
The Su family's winery is not a big winery. There are only forty or fifty people in total including employees. In the past, when business was better, the profits were pretty good, but now, the profits throughout the year are only more than one million.
Once this money is divided into the hands of each family, there won't be much left.
While hesitating, he heard the sound of the whistle behind him and a white BMW slowly drove over.
The car door opened, and the high-spirited Su Junjie got out of the car first, then opened the rear door, and together with the co-pilot, Albert Su, helped the old man Su Fengnian get out of the car.
Albert Su's wife Xu Lanhua came out from the other side and saw Zhang Dachuan standing next to Su Yun at a glance. She frowned and said:
"Su Yun, why did you bring an outsider over to our family gathering? This is not good."
Before Su Yun could explain, Su Junjie, who had already walked over, immediately sneered:
"Mom, when people from my hometown come to the city to see the world, it's so easy to meet someone like us who is being taken advantage of. Why don't we have some food and drinks?"
"Anyway, we don't need an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. Let him follow us in. Later, we can brag to our hometown people about how magnificent this five-star hotel Jiudingxian is in Bailong City."
"You've seen the world, haven't you?"
After saying that, he changed the topic again and said to Zhang Dachuan with a smile:
"But, brother, I can let you eat, but you can't talk nonsense, you know?"
"I have invited distinguished guests here today. If you ruin my good deeds, it will be your family's fault."
At the end of his sentence, he traced his fingers over Su Weimin's family without any courtesy, proudly and arrogantly.
