Chapter 22 - Another family dinner

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ziqing returned to Yang City and first went to the bookstore to buy all the textbooks for high school. Although she worked hard to review and got the latest chapter of the top scorer in the high school entrance examination. But she didn't dare to exaggerate after leaving high school for more than ten years. Even college students nowadays dare not say that they can master high school textbooks, let alone her, who had mediocre grades and mediocre schools in her previous life? So she didn't think she would be more than these top students when she entered a place like No. 1 Middle School where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. After all, she had the advantage of knowing the question types during the high school entrance examination.

After buying the books, Ziqing went to the mall to choose an ordinary mobile phone. After handling the business, she first called Ma Yuxi and then called Wang Mingtang of Longfengxiang. Wang Mingtang told Ziqing that her jewelry could be picked up in a week. Just go directly to the main store of Longfengxiang. Ziqing knew that Wang Mingtang would not be free to see her again to give her jewelry. After all, to him, Ziqing was just an ordinary student worthy of his appreciation.

After returning home, the car was stored in the garage of the company next door again, so that the company has been speculating who the owner is. Female employees often pay attention to whether it is possible to catch a rich husband. However, Ai Ziqing, who studies hard, naturally does not know these things.

In early August, the weather was clear and sunny. Ziqing sat on the sofa in a daze, watching her parents going in and out to change clothes, and rubbed her forehead helplessly. Some time ago, the family called the phone. Yesterday, my parents called these relatives door to door and notified them to go to Suxiangyuan to treat guests today to celebrate Ziqing's promotion.

This is the only time that Ziqing's family has treated guests in a high-end restaurant in so many years. Jiang Qin was a little excited and pulled Ai Guohua to change clothes one by one. She was so busy that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Although she looked like a small citizen, she was having fun.

Ziqing saw it, and she was actually a little sad. Her money had been transferred to Ma Yuxi in batches and gradually invested in the company, and she couldn't tell her parents about the company's affairs now.

The company's affairs were fully handed over to Ma Yuxi. He first rented an office on the seventh floor of the Xinli Commercial Building in the city center for office work and set up a series of departments such as sales, publicity, finance, research and development, and production. The first store will soon be established on the commercial street in the city center. In addition, a 500-square-meter factory was rented nearby to store goods and workers for processing and polishing.

The jewelry company was named "Yushixuan" and specialized in various jadeite. This was Ziqing's suggestion. The quality of things is not about quantity. This will help to quickly open up the market. Most jewelry companies now deal in various jadeite, gemstones, and diamonds, and the variety is diverse. Yushixuan specializes in jadeite, which is easier for people to remember and establishes the brand concept and style.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the family came to the gate of Suxiangyuan. The hotel was magnificent and grand, with green imitation coconut trees everywhere. The tables were separated by fences wrapped with green vines. There were small bridges and flowing water in the hotel, and a green garden scene.

Although Ziqing's appearance is considered to be above average, there are simply too many beautiful girls. If she doesn't dress up deliberately, she won't attract attention at ordinary times. It's just normal. Although people who have been with her will be attracted by her unique temperament, it is obvious that the waiters in this hotel who are used to seeing high-end guests don't think so.

The waiter who led the way saw Jiang Qin looking around in surprise and admiration, and raised his mouth with some pride, and said with contempt, "Our Suxiang Garden is a national five-star luxury hotel. Usually, the city leaders often entertain guests here."

"Yes, I have heard about it. It's expensive to eat a table here, right?" Jiang Qin asked with some concern.

"Of course, the service and ingredients of our hotel are of high standards. Who is not a leader and entrepreneur! The meal of the leader in Suxiang Garden is probably enough for you to get up early and stay up late for a year." This is a bit interesting. It directly removes himself from the ordinary people?

In later generations, it is not uncommon for a big restaurant to bully customers. Some people are like this. After seeing a few things in the world, they separate themselves from ordinary people and are used to looking at people through the cracks in the door.

Looking at Jiang Qin's somewhat embarrassed face, Ziqing looked straight ahead, raised her eyes slightly, and smiled, "If the high standard of a restaurant is your quality, then in my opinion, Suxiangyuan is just so-so."

Listening to Ziqing's light words, the waiter's face turned red. He wanted to refute, but he had nothing to say. Just now, he really looked down on this family who had never seen the world, so he made a few sarcastic remarks, but now he didn't dare to really quarrel with the customers. After all, if the boss knew about it, his job would be lost.

So he turned his head away, snorted contemptuously, and stopped talking.

When he came to the window seat in the hall, he found that except for grandpa and grandma who didn't come, and the little aunt's family who couldn't come because of something, the rest of the people had already arrived. This time, Aunt Xu Juan didn't say anything sarcastic, and sat there without saying a word. I didn't expect Ziqing to not only be admitted to No. 1 Middle School, but also win the first place. I didn't fulfill my promise to treat everyone, but let Ziqing's family treat everyone here. Isn't this obviously slapping myself in the face?

On the contrary, the eldest uncle laughed and said, "Guohua, sister-in-law, come and sit down. Ziqing is the pride of our family. She actually got the first place in the high school entrance examination!" After that, he poured Ai Guohua a glass of wine, and the two drank a sip.

The third uncle also laughed, but the third aunt Wang Mei looked at her daughter Ai Jia's awkward look. She felt bad and said sourly, "Can't you see it before? Ziqing's grades have always been mediocre? Why is there such a big gap now?"

Everyone heard that this was a bit wrong, and some hinted that the results were suspected of being fake, but everyone knew that the high school entrance examination could not leak questions. Even if the questions were leaked, it was not something they could detect at their level. Besides, let alone the same examination room as Ziqing, even if they were in the same school, there was no second first place in the province, so there was no possibility of plagiarism.

Uncle San smiled a little embarrassedly, "Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense, she is just like that, famous for her sharp tongue but soft heart!"

Zi Qing smiled and said yes, after all, as a younger generation, they are all family, and they will see each other every day in the future, so there is no need to make things awkward.

Cousin Ai Ping looked at Zi Qing with a complicated expression. The cousin who usually looked down on him suddenly surpassed him, which made his proud heart unable to accept it for a while.

Zi Qing secretly saw everyone's expressions, sighed in his heart, and didn't want to say more.

On the contrary, Jiang Qin's pride was beyond words, and she was happy throughout the meal, which made Aunt Xu Juan look even more uncomfortable.

When paying the bill, although the meal cost more than 3,000 yuan, Ai Guohua didn't feel bad at all, and was dragged by Uncle San who drank two more glasses to brag. At this time, a group of people walked down from the second floor of the restaurant. Third uncle Ai Guofen quietly pointed at one of them and said, "Did you see it? This is Liu Chao, the head of the Municipal Bureau. Last time I accompanied Director Wang to dinner, I greeted them. The one next to him is even more amazing, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Su Wentao, who often gives speeches on TV. Tsk tsk."

Zi Qing listened to what Third Uncle said, and just as he was about to look up, he heard a voice "Zi Qing?"

Turning around, he saw Liu Fei and Su Xi saying something beside their parents, and then walked over quickly. Su Xi smiled and said, "Are you coming to eat?"

"Yes, I came with my family. Why are you here too?" He looked up at Su Xi and Liu Fei and said.

"Aren't we here to eat with my parents? Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Zi Qing's friend, I came to say hello to her when I met her." The two of them greeted Zi Qing's family politely one after another.

This scared them. The Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Director's son came to greet them? They quickly stood up and humbly returned the greeting. The other person's father was over there, and they didn't dare to be arrogant.

At this time, Su Wentao, Liu Chao and others came over one after another. Su Wentao said with a smile, "This is Ai Ziqing, I have heard of you for a long time! Your composition has been repeatedly discussed by a large number of old guys in the financial industry in the past two days, and they have quarreled! I heard that they held a special meeting for this, and even slammed the table! Hahaha!" After saying this, he laughed heartily.

When this was said, everyone was stunned. Ziqing's composition? It caused experts in the financial industry to quarrel? And slammed the table? This is a bit too incredible.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ziqing. Even Liu Fei and Su Xi had never heard their father mention this matter.

Ziqing smiled a little embarrassedly, "Uncle Su, you are too kind. It's just some small ideas." Then she turned to explain to her parents, "It's the composition I wrote for the high school entrance examination. I wrote some thoughts about this year's financial crisis." Ziqing only explained vaguely. Could it be that she wanted to tell her parents that in this composition, she not only wrote about her thoughts on the financial crisis, but also made some predictions based on some specific data and future situations, hoping to attract the attention of the country and play a preventive role?

Su Wentao knew that Ai Ziqing was being modest, so he didn't point it out. He nodded with some approval. He had read that article. It was well-reasoned and the analysis of the problem was very profound. If it weren't for the facts in front of him, no one would have thought that such an article was written by a girl who was about to go to high school. Otherwise, with his identity, how could he come here to say hello to his son's little classmate?

Before Su Wentao and others left, Ziqing noticed that Su Xi's mother Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at him with some disdain and some defense, which made Ziqing a little confused!

Zhao Ya was indeed somewhat wary of Ai Ziqing. After all, she was the only one who knew her son best. If he didn't like this girl, why would he come to greet her in public? Seeing the respectful look of the girl's family, she felt even more disdainful. She was convinced that Ziqing must be the kind of girl who was instigated by her family to get close to the rich and powerful.
