"That's it, Azong, you can arrange this matter. The food must be good and decent, and don't embarrass our Kang family."
Old Dou did not listen to Kang Qirui's ideas and stubbornly He wanted to hold a grand banquet for Azu's promotion, so he directly gave the order to the second brother. The second guy shrugged. He didn't care about this matter, and he didn't need to pay for it anyway. Now that Lao Dou opened his mouth, he nodded and agreed: "No problem, I'll do it."
A Yao suddenly said at this time: "General Manager Kang, our smart brother. You have to invite him anyway. There are so many people, why not invite our director as well?”
“Hey, Ayao, how can you invite us?” Before Azu could say anything, Lao Dou disagreed, "There are so many people in our family, how can the director sit down if he is so fat? What if he takes two seats?"
"Old Dou, how many people do we have in the Kang family? How can we fit at both tables?" A Yao looked helpless. One table for the Kang family was not enough for two and too many. How could the extra seats be allocated to the director? .
"Look what you said, where are A Bing's parents-in-law and his two daughters? And where are the village chief and women's director in our Kangjia village? And where are A-chan's parents? After all, how can we not invite the in-laws? "Lao Dou said.
Ayao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized: "The in-laws are the in-laws, but they are the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the second brother. What does it have to do with Azu's promotion?"
However, even his mother disagreed with what he said, "The in-laws and in-laws are here as a family. No one can be invited, but the in-laws must be invited."
Lao Dou nodded and said, "So Well, your grandma speaks with a human touch. Of course, all the relatives should be invited. It took hundreds of years for our Kang family to have such a great son. If you want to be an official, you should at least see how I, Kang Ershou, raised my son in front of my relatives. I have always said that Azu is the most like me.”
“Like a ghost or a horse.” The second sister-in-law disagreed and rebutted Lao Dou’s words: “Master, you have always said that the fourth uncle is Qianlong’s son. ——It was cleared on Sunday. You are a secret abacus - how can you be lonely and cold to death?”
"Daughter, how can you say that about your father-in-law?" Mom scolded the second sister-in-law, who immediately did not dare to speak any more. But Lao Dou waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't blame her."
The treat was settled like this, and Lao Dou went to Sanyuan Palace to figure it out 6 The auspiciousness of Saturday, September 12th was finally determined after I learned that it was a good day. On that day, I hosted a banquet for relatives and friends at the Jiekou Hotel to celebrate Azu's promotion to the general manager of a foreign-funded company.
On the day of the banquet, after the banquet started, Lao Dou stood up with a wine glass and said, "Dear neighbors, relatives and friends, today is a great day. My son, Azu, has become the president of a foreign-funded company. Manager." He looked at Azu Laohuai and said comfortingly: "Our Kang family has been looking forward to this for decades. Please come and have a drink. I will drink first as a token of respect."
Cousin. Bing and Azu had a drink and sighed: "Now my cousin has such a good face, his waist is much straighter when he walks out."
"Cousin, Azu is just a regional general manager, there is no What a big deal." Diana supported the half-drunk Azu and said humbly to her cousin Bing. Cousin Bing waved his hand and said in disapproval: "That's not what you said, Diana. Azu is now the wife of Yinzi and you are the wife of the general manager. Your waist should be much stronger."
"That's right, general manager of a foreign company, I will also let my grandson learn from Azu in the future." The village chief of the Kang family's hometown sat next to A Bing and also agreed with A Bing's words.
"Uncle Third, I have published a book to teach children how to become successful. I will give you a copy when the time comes." Old Dou also drank too much and started talking nonsense. The village chief believed it, and he was so happy that he toasted Lao Dou again.
This meal lasted for three hours. Lao Dou and everyone had a drink and boasted for a while. At the same time, he also made countless promises, saying that if anyone has anything to do, they can come to Azu. help. By the time everyone returned to Kang's house after the banquet, it was already 9:30 pm.
"Xiu Gu, make a pot of tea to wake everyone up." After Kang Qirui helped the half-drunk Dou sit down on the Taishi chair, he ordered the nanny Xiu Gu at home. Just as Xiugu went into the dining room to boil water for tea, Guiyuan and his father walked into Kang's house. "You bad boy, why did you come back now when I asked you to get hair extensions and spanks?" The second sister-in-law went up and scolded Gui Yuan, then turned around and said to Su's father with a smile on her face: "I asked you to get hair extensions and spanks, why are you now?" Are you here? Have you eaten? Let me cook you some noodles?”
Su's father waved his hands and asked doubtfully: "Such a big thing, the banquet ended in one day? What about Ah Chan's cousins, the big brother and the little ones? I didn't hear them say that they were invited? My cousin is also my uncle, how can I not? "Please?"
"Father-in-law." Everyone in Azu was dumbfounded and called the wrong person. He immediately corrected him: "The second brother's father-in-law, I know they are the second brother's uncles, but I think being able to invite you is enough to represent them."
Su's father frowned. He looked around as if looking for something. After a while, he asked: "Where is Azong? I want to ask Azong. Today he has the position of general manager. Most of the credit belongs to our Ah Chan."
"Oh, Fa. You made a mistake, the person you want to drink as the general manager this time is not A Zong, but my husband and your son-in-law, but your son-in-law's younger brother." The second sister-in-law quickly interrupted him and pointed at A Zu.
Su's father was embarrassed now. He stared at Guiyuan and cursed: "You didn't explain it clearly to me just now?" Guiyuan cooperated and took the pot on himself. Su's father then His face became calmer. He thought for a while and then said: "My dear, I always feel that it is a big deal for Azu to become the general manager of a foreign-funded enterprise. How can you hire so many people for this big thing in one day? You must Give it a flowing feast for four or five days. How beautiful and impressive will it be then?”
Su's father's proposal played right into Lao Dou's heart. Lao Dou agreed very much when he heard it and said: "That's right, that's right, just do what you want. Azu, you don't have to worry about money. Lao Dou has it. I'll wait for you next month." You can just pay me back after the salary is paid, hahahaha." Kang Qirui was about to speak to persuade Lao Dou, but Zhu Wanling tugged on his clothes. "Forget it, it's not like you don't know the master's character. No matter how much you say, you can't stop him from doing something special. Why bother? Just let the master be happy." Zhu Wanling persuaded him softly in his ear, Kang Qirui He also understood that he couldn't persuade Lao Dou at all, so he sighed and let him go.
After holding the flowing banquet for five consecutive days, basically all the relatives, friends, and neighbors were invited. Amid everyone's compliments, Lao Dou now looks very proud when he goes out. That day, he was singing a little song and walking around the street. He met an old colleague who used to work in a restaurant. The other person greeted Lao Dou and said, "Lao Kang, I heard that your son has made a fortune. Shouldn't you celebrate it?" Ah?”
“We’ve already celebrated. I’ve held a flowing banquet for several days, and all my relatives, friends and neighbors have invited me.” Lao Dou laughed and said, “I’m going to do it now. Wei La, the annual salary of being a general manager of a foreign-funded company is several million."
The other party's face stiffened and he said unhappily: "Isn't it Japanese yen? Nowadays, people brag and don't discuss it with Niu. Right? Do you have a business card?”
Naturally, Lao Dou couldn't take out Azu's business card. When the other party saw Lao Dou's appearance, he didn't say anything and just walked away with a playful look on his face. Lao Dou was so angry that he immediately ran home and knocked on the door of Azu's room.
"Abba? Azu has gone to work. What can you do?" Diana said after opening the door.
"Go across the street and help Azu print some business cards. Be sure to write down his phone number, address and that he is the general manager of a foreign-funded company." Lao Dou took out a hundred yuan from his pocket. He handed it to Diana and emphasized, "The most important thing to remember is that you must write general manager. You can go now and I will use it later."
"Are you waiting to use it?" Diana was confused. But it didn't matter to her that she didn't have to spend money, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll change my clothes and go out." Then she closed the door.
After Lao Dou got Azu’s business card printed by Diana, he went to the street and handed it out to everyone he met. He was almost thought to be selling fake diplomas, so Lao Dou had to explain to them that it was his son's business card. Others asked him why he took out his son's business card and handed it out. Lao Dou explained to them that everyone would make a fortune together, which was almost regarded as a pyramid scheme. (End of chapter)
