Chapter 374: Taboos for Men
Seeing that everyone at the table was looking at him, Zhang Nianzu said, "I'll pay , but I don't want to have the final say. If I'm willing to worry about it, wouldn't it be better for me to open a taxi company myself?"
Zhao Meier looked at Zhang Nianzu's profile and praised him sincerely, "You did the right thing."
Zhao Weiming said: "Dad, the masters of Zhiyuan are watching us. Whether to change the soup without medicine or to play the gongs and drums and sing the opera again is a very important hint to them. We can't let everyone think that we are just cheating a sum of money to prolong our lives."
Zhao Chengcai asked, "Is your father really that evil? Will they feel relieved if we replace Old Zhao with Little Zhao?"
Zhao Weiming said, "Xiao Zhao is the leader of several groups. I go out with them every day. I know who has any difficulties. Sometimes I mediate when there are conflicts. Everything is based on the premise of not delaying making money. If the company is run by Xiao Zhao, they will know that I will lead them forward. Isn't this why you, Lao Zhao, started your business?"
At this time, Shi Xiang touched Zhao Chengcai with her arm and said, "What are you arguing with your son about?" Then she gave Huang Fei a wink.
Huang Fei paused and added, "That's right. If your son is successful, then you are successful, too." In that extremely brief moment, she considered many things - the money was ultimately brought in by Zhao Weiming, and even if Zhao Chengcai regained power, the company would still belong to Zhao Weiming. There was no benefit in going against Shi Xiang and her son now. Besides, Zhao Weiming had made it clear in a casual remark just now that he still recognized his position. People should always help each other to have a way out.
Zhao Chengcai didn't really want to compete with his son. His plan was to first gain the aura of "making a comeback" and then hand the position over to Zhao Weiming. It was nothing more than a formality. He didn't expect that young people nowadays are so pragmatic, so he said with a droopy face: "Alright, alright, I won't play if you don't take me with you."
Zhao Weiming said, "How can I not take you along? The reason my son can take over the business is because I have a good foundation. I will hire you as a consultant."
Zhao Chengcai waved his hand and said, "Stop flattering me. Everyone knows what a consultant is - no one responds even if you ask questions."
Zhao Meier said, "This is me you are talking about."
Zhao Chengcai glared and said, "You are so angry today. Why are you targeting your father everywhere?"
Zhao Meier stared back drunkenly. Huang Fei was about to smooth things over when Zhang Nianzu subconsciously said, "She can't drink."
Huang Fei asked: "How do you know?"
"Uh..." Zhang Nianzu froze when he recalled his experience in Zhao Meir's apartment.
Zhao Meir's face turned red.
Shi Xiang said hurriedly: "Today is a double celebration, let's drink together - Xiaomei doesn't need to drink."
Zhao Meier raised her glass stubbornly and said, "It was just a social event before, but today I have to drink."
Everyone toasted, and Huang Fei said with emotion: "Look how wonderful this is, Zhao Chengcai, you are so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, and both are so outstanding. I wonder what good things you did in your previous life."
Zhao Chengcai muttered: "It's probably because he didn't do anything good..."
Huang Fei told Zhao Meier: "You should help your brother more in the future."
Zhao Meir's brain wasn't working very well at the moment, and it took her a long time to realize that she was talking about Zhao Weiming. For a long time, she had once called Zhao Weiming "that bastard", and later, considering that the girl had grown up, she changed it to "that wild boy". Today, it suddenly became "brother", and Zhao Meir would be confused even if she hadn't drunk alcohol.
Huang Fei then said to Zhao Weiming, "Xiao Ming, I'm drunk today and I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Although you and Mei'er are in a special situation, you are still a brother after all, so you should take care of your sister."
Zhao Weiming said without any psychological burden: "It's nothing special. She is my half-sister even though she has the same father as me."
Zhang Nianzu curled his lips, but there was nothing to say. Zhao Weiming always called Zhao Meir "my sister" regardless of whether she recognized him or not. There was nothing wrong with that.
Huang Fei liked Zhang Nianzu more and more during this period. Just now, she thought that it was shabby and ugly for such a big man to celebrate someone's birthday empty-handed, but now he has become free and unconventional. Of course, a big man is better than a short one. He is tall and handsome, and even his pouting lips are beautiful. In short, if Zhang Nianzu said he wanted to marry her daughter, she would nod immediately, and he would not even ask for a betrothal gift. Huang Fei is also a woman who has seen money, and her eyes are not so shallow...
Huang Fei casually picked up a piece of food for Zhang Nianzu and asked casually, "Does Nianzu have a girlfriend?"
Ah San said, "Yes, our sister-in-law is Lei Tingting." He paused and said, "The second brother is Asa Shen."
Huang Fei was surprised and said, "There are already two..."
Zhao Chengcai immediately winked at Zhang Nianzu.
Zhang Nianzu collapsed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense!"
Zhao Weiming said sarcastically, "Zhang Nianzu, you used to not even go to nightclubs. Is the saying 'Men become bad when they have money' so hardcore? You've only had money for a few days."
Zhang Nianzu asked, "Am I that kind of person?"
Zhao Weiming suddenly changed his expression and said, "You'd better not be that kind of person. I can be a jerk, but you can't. When Lei Tingting was with you, you were nothing! If you do something shameless like finding two wives, my worldview will be ruined!"
Zhao Chengcai felt uncomfortable with what he said earlier, and he jumped up and said, "How can you talk like that, you idiot?"
Zhao Weiming then realized that he had swung the stick too hard, and quickly apologized, "I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about him."
Zhao Chengcai angrily said: "It's even worse to say that about him. He is your financial sponsor now. From this point of view, I am the biological father and he did it!" It turned out that Zhao Chengcai was not so fragile. He was mainly worried that his son would break up with Zhang Nianzu and it would be bad for him.
Zhang Nianzu stood up and said solemnly: "Let me tell you one thing, I only have one girlfriend, Tingting, and she will be my wife in the future. No one is allowed to talk nonsense from now on!"
Seeing that he was really angry, Ah San nodded quickly.
Zhao Weiming knew that Zhang Nianzu never said one thing and meant another, so he laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, but you're really anxious--"
Zhang Nianzu glared at him and was about to sit down when Zhao Meir suddenly stood up with a glass of wine in hand and said, "Lei Tingting is so lucky. I'll toast her!" Then she drank the full glass of wine.
Shi Xiang looked at Huang Fei in surprise, while Huang Fei looked at her daughter with a complicated expression and sighed slightly. She could see the eagerness in Zhao Mei'er's eyes. Just now, her mind was full of the image of "domineering CEO's secretary". When she heard Ah San say that Zhang Nianzu had a beautiful wife and concubines, her heart suddenly turned cold. She had walked an unusual path in her life, and only she knew how rough it was. She was actually glad that Zhang Nianzu had expressed his attitude.
After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Meir fell backwards. Zhang Nianzu supported her back and handed her over to her mother, and Huang Fei helped her into the bedroom.
Shi Xiang sighed, "It's Xiaomei's luck that she met Nianzu."
Zhao Weiming smacked his lips in pleasure, and suddenly jumped up and said, "My sister actually did this to you... When did this happen?"
Zhang Nianzu shook his head. Zhao Meir had grown up under his care. She had always been rude to him since she was young. As for when the change occurred, he had no idea.
Zhao Weiming said: "Then you will always work together, right?"
Huang Fei walked out of the bedroom and said, "Mei'er is a child with a lot on her mind, but once she speaks it out, it will all be over. Don't worry, she won't cause you any trouble." At this point Huang Fei said seriously, "Nianzu, thank you to me too." Zhang Nianzu gave her a knowing look.
Zhao Chengcai said: "Let's continue."
Zhang Nianzu said: "Let's go."
In this situation, it was not easy for people to stay any longer. The Zhao family father and son sent Zhang Nianzu to the door. Zhao Chengcai held Zhang Nianzu's hand and said, "My greatest achievement in this life is not how much money I have made, but that my family did not abandon me when I was down and out. But uncle still has to give you a piece of advice--"
Zhang Nianzu said, "You go ahead."
Zhao Chengcai glanced at Huang Fei and Shi Xiang, who were happily cleaning the table together, and said in a low voice, "Don't marry two wives, don't!"
