Although I don’t want to make it a grand birthday for the old man of the Qi family, I have to do it. If you are in a high position, if you don't do it, someone below will do it for you. In this case, it would be better to do it properly at home.
Qi Yan has had this kind of incident every year since he was a child. He has long been used to it, and that's it.
It's nothing more than receiving gifts and being flattered.
As for gifts, when you reach this status, it would be too tacky to just give money or something like that, and the old man in the family won't accept it.
Whenever this time comes, it is time for the people below to compete first. It is better to give something that is expensive than to give something that suits your heart.
It is well known in the circle that the old man of the Qi family has a hot temper and loves to drink, so the gifts he receives every year always revolve around wine.
At this age, the old man has been in an important position for so many years. He has never drank any kind of wine, so expensive wine is no longer rare.
On the contrary, I like home-brewed wine, especially the kind where hand-brewed wine has become a delicacy in small towns where there are century-old craftsmen.
It's cheap, you don't have to worry about the old man not accepting it, and you can also win the old man's favor, so why not do it.
The young people were led over by their elders to say hello and then dispersed. Only Qi Ting and Qi Yan could not escape and had to accompany them from beginning to end.
Qin Nian's children were young and didn't like to get close to them, but Qi Chen thought that they just couldn't stand the disdainful looks they gave them.
In the corner, Zhang Juan couldn't help but stretched out her fingertips and pinched Qi Chen's arm hard. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said to her son with hatred.
"Go over there, what's the use of hiding here!"
Qi Chen calmly pulled his arm back. He frowned and said angrily, "I won't go."
Zhang Juan put her hands on her sides tightly. She hated her child for not living up to expectations. "Don't fight for anything that doesn't live up to expectations. All the things in this family will be given to Qi Ting and Qi Yan in the future. When the time comes, you will be there." What's up."
"The eldest brother and the second brother all earned their own income and have nothing to do with grandpa. I don't have that ability, so there is no need to blame others." Although Qi Chen hated that his peers in the compound had always chased Qi Yan instead of following him. But at this point, he can still carry it clearly.
Not only did his words not make his mother feel relieved, but he was so angry that his mother, Zhang Juan, stretched out her index finger and hit him on the forehead several times.
"Useless thing, why did I give birth to a useless son like you? This is not a battlefield or an officialdom. What's the matter with you going to your grandfather's side to get familiar with your uncles?"
She married into the Qi family. Although she said she had never been arrogant, she was always stingy. Her mother-in-law didn't get it early. Everything else was fine except for her sister-in-law who kept giving her trouble every day. She said in and out that she was not as good as the previous one. Qi Good luck to Yan’s biological mother.
Thinking of Qi Nian, she gritted her teeth and whispered softly: "Qi Nian, that little bitch, isn't it also the slogan of the Qi family when doing business outside? What's wrong with asking you to show your face."
Although Qi Chen himself may not be capable, he rarely sees this matter more clearly than his mother.
He sighed softly, "The reason why my sister-in-law can use the slogan of the Qi family is because there are eldest brother and second brother outside who are keeping the truth. What do I have?"
Qi Ting and Qi Yanyan helped their little aunt, but that didn't mean they would help him.
With one sentence, Zhang Juan was choked on the spot. She opened her mouth several times and didn't know what to say, so she could only give up.
Over there, those who should give gifts have almost finished giving away, and those who should flatter have almost finished taking pictures. The family is preparing to go to the banquet. The old man is holding a birthday banquet, and the dinner time is a little early, and the banquet will be ready at seven or eight o'clock. .
It was at this time that Qi Nian stopped the two brothers Qi Ting and Qi Yan. She stood in front of the two brothers, feeling very embarrassed. Qi Yan looked at her coldly and said nothing.
"What's the matter? What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Qi Ting knew clearly why the other party stopped them, but Qi Ting pretended not to know anything and asked with concern.
As expected, after listening to his words, Qi Nian raised his head and gave him a complicated look, "Qi Ting, there's no need for this."
"Before, even if I couldn't speak my mind, I am an elder after all. It would be too unkind to treat me like this for a wife who has not yet married."
Qi Yan stood there without saying a word, just staring at her with a half-smile, which made her feel scared.
"You...are you also involved?" Qi Nian covered his chest and said with a look of disbelief.
Qi Yan looked at her and sneered: "What's the matter, do you think I am someone who can swallow my anger?"
There are some words that Qi Ting cannot say, but Qi Yan can.
"Huh, a slip of the tongue? Not necessarily, that's what you were thinking, but you just couldn't control yourself and said it out loud."
It was a bit hot inside the hotel. Qi Yan took off his suit jacket and hung it casually on his arm. "Have you ever heard of a saying that women are looked down upon outside. Ultimately, it's because their men are not qualified."
As he spoke, he pinched his knuckles and looked up at her casually, "So, it's because I'm not qualified that you dare to look down on her?"
"I..." Qi Nian was blocked and couldn't say a word. After several struggles in his heart, he finally chose to completely lose his face.
As an elder, she endured the ugliness in her heart and said to the two of them: "It's my aunt who is wrong, it's my aunt who is wrong, okay?"
Qi Yan casually pulled his hair and said nothing. Instead, Qi Ting nodded slightly towards her and said in a serious tone: "The situation is not very good recently, so let's put the family business on hold for now, and we'll talk about it in two years." .”
Qi Nian looked at the backs of the two brothers and felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. How could a good business be put on hold? Two years later would be just a talk. In fact, even if two years passed, she would no longer be able to slap the Qi brothers. Their names are convenient.
After all, she paid a heavy price for her stupid words.
The two brothers have a very good understanding of each other, and they even use similar methods to stab each other in the back. They are truly brothers.
Qi Yan was about to make fun of his brother when his cell phone suddenly rang. When Qi Yan took it out and looked at the caller ID, he felt something was wrong. He didn't have time to think too much and quickly answered the call.
If the other person got straight to the point, Qi Yan couldn't even hold the coat in his hand and ran out.
While running desperately, he whispered in a low voice: "Don't touch her, I can agree to any conditions."
"Okay, send me the address and I'll be there right away."
Within three minutes, Qi Yan ran to the underground parking lot. Without saying a word, he started the car and drove towards an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
