MTL - As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store-Chapter 528 Unexpected visitor!
Chapter 528 An unexpected visitor!
Just as Zhou Chao was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was Sicong's call. He signaled to Zhou Haojie, got up and walked to the side.
"Hey, what's the matter with you on the phone?"
"Young Master Zhou, didn't you say you were going back to China? It's been so long, why is there no movement? The brothers are waiting for you to come back and have a happy together!"
Zhou Chao heard a trace of something different from Sicong's words, and said with a smile: "I'm already in China, and I've been back for two or three days!"
"No way, Young Master Zhou, he didn't make a phone call when he came back. Are you worried that we will tip off our sister-in-law!" Tie Cong said jokingly.
"Don't be so talkative, my wife is with me now, my third grandpa isn't on his 80th birthday these two days, so I came back to Wudu. I originally thought that I would wait until the work here is over. I’ll call you again, but I didn’t expect you to call first.”
"Young Master Zhou, you said that your third grandfather held the 80th birthday banquet, is it a relative?"
Zhou Chao said angrily when he heard the words: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If it weren't for my dear, I would have come back from Maoxiong Kingdom all the way."
"I'll go, if you don't make a phone call to say something about such an important matter, then you are now in your hometown in Fuzhou, the capital of fog."
"Well, it's a small town below Fuzhou. Why, you're still planning to come and see it. I'm afraid the birthday banquet will be over when you arrive." Zhou Chao said with a smile.
"I see, Young Master Zhou, I have something important to do here. I'll hang up first!"
Zhou Chao looked at his phone and felt that it was a bit inexplicable to tear the green onion. Could it be that the long legs wrapped around his waist again? He shook his head and forgot about it.
Back to the pavilion, Jiang Li and Zhou Hao had already formed a bunch, especially Zhou Qi and Zhou Fei curiously asked how Jiang Li and Zhou Chao met.
"Who called just now, I think you had a good chat!" Jiang Li asked curiously as soon as Zhou Chao sat down.
"Tai Cong called. Didn't you promise him to come back and play together? No, he called to urge me to come." Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly.
"Brother, you are really familiar with Shicong, and I even called you." A hint of shock flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes, knowing that they would never be able to get in touch with the rich and young at the level of Shacong.
Zhou Chao didn't hide anything, and said very frankly: "Ah, yes, didn't you see Guo Yan's circle of friends just now, and it was taken when I was eating with Tie Cong."
But at this time, Zhou Hao's eyes showed a few complex expressions. He was quite proud of entering the Yida headquarters in Wudu as soon as he graduated, but he never thought that his elder brother had become a young man who could be with Yida. The son had a meal with the characters.
Zhou Chao also noticed the change in Zhou Hao's expression, which was part of his plan, just to see if Zhou Hao could stand his test.
If he can't even resist this basic temptation, if he really brings Zhou Hao by his side to train him, then he will really hurt Zhou Hao.
The little bird hadn’t learned to fly yet, so he took him to see the real hunting ground, fearing that he would be eaten as soon as he entered.
It took a while for Zhou Hao to come back to his senses, his eyes were clear, and it seemed that he had no intention of leaving the back door.
"Sister-in-law, isn't elder brother rich now?" Zhou Qi looked at Jiang Li excitedly and asked.
Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao beside him with a smile, then turned around and said, "Your elder brother should be considered very rich."
You know, the cash flow in Jiang Li's hands is enough to be equivalent to a large group of the world's top 500, which should be considered very rich.
Of course, all of this can only be buried in the bottom of my heart. If I say it, no one will believe it. After all, with so much money, I can be called the richest man in China!
"Hey, happy new year, big brother!" Zhou Qi looked at Zhou Chao obsequiously, rubbing her two little hands excitedly.
"Happy New Year?" How can Zhou Chao be fooled directly? There are still a few months before the New Year, and it's all about New Year's greetings?
Zhou Hao and Zhou Fei on the side both started to learn in style, took out their mobile phones from their pockets to open the payment code, and they were very proficient after a set.
Looking at the three pairs of expectant eyes, Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile, took out his mobile phone and scanned two thousand for the three of them.
Seeing the notification sound of the account, the three of them narrowed their eyes with laughter, stood up and shouted loudly: "Thank you, brother, for the red envelope."
"Okay, okay, let's all sit down." Zhou Chao waved his hand quickly.
As for why each of them only gave two thousand, Zhou Chao also had his own considerations. It can be seen that Zhou Hao and the three asked Zhou Chao for red envelopes not for money, but just for fun.
The three sat down with a smile, especially Zhou Qi said happily: "The shoes I have been thinking about for a long time can finally be bought. Wuhu, I begged my father to buy them for me before, but he didn't buy them for me."
"Hee hee, I can also buy a few sets of clothes." Zhou Fei on the side echoed.
Seeing the joy of his two younger sisters, Zhou Chao felt the warmth of home, the friendship between brothers and sisters.
The time passed slowly amidst the chatter of several people, and soon it was half past eleven.
At this time, the third uncle came up from upstairs, still calling Zhou Chao's name loudly.
"Third uncle, we are here, what's the matter?"
"The band called by your uncle is about to start the birthday ceremony. He asked me to come up and ask you juniors to go on stage together later."
The corners of Zhou Chao's mouth twitched when he heard this. In his memory, his grandfather also held such a birthday banquet when he was still alive. When the time comes, he will go on stage and go through the process as arranged by the master of ceremonies. He can also get red envelopes, but the process is a bit embarrassing. .
Although the process was a bit embarrassing, Zhou Chao still complied, "Understood, third uncle, we will come down immediately."
"Okay, hurry up, it's about to start!" After speaking, the third uncle turned around and walked quickly.
"Let's go, go celebrate the third grandpa's birthday!" Zhou Chao stretched out his left hand and looked at Jiang Li and said.
"Yeah!" Jiang Li nodded and held Zhou Chao's hand, feeling a little excited, after all, he was going to meet Zhou Chao's relatives soon.
Immediately, a group of five people walked downstairs under the leadership of Zhou Chao. At this time, the dam had been laid out, and a small stage had been built at the end of the dam.
Jiang Li looked at the stage and asked curiously: "Brother Chao, what are you doing?"
"Sister-in-law, I know what this is for. This is a band invited by my uncle to come and perform. There are singing, dancing, and magic tricks. And later we will go to the stage together to celebrate grandpa's birthday." Zhou Qi was very excited Said.
But it’s normal to think about it. Zhou Chao also liked such occasions before. After all, he has money and can eat delicious food.
Although it was a bit embarrassing and awkward, the heart of watching the excitement never went out.
"Really?" Jiang Li narrowed his excited eyes.
Zhou Chao also saw Jiang Li's careful thinking, gently rubbed your hand and said: "It's true, I will take a group photo later!"
Soon the ceremony began under the arrangement of the host. The third grandpa's son and daughter-in-law, namely Zhou Chao's uncle, second uncle, and third uncle, were the first to play.
Immediately afterwards, relatives of the same generation as the uncle walked up one by one, and finally the younger generation represented by Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao took Jiang Li's hand and walked towards the stage.
"Dad, this is Zhou Chao's daughter-in-law, they are already married!" the uncle said softly standing behind the third grandfather.
"Okay, okay!" The third grandfather held Zhou Chao's hand a little excitedly, and gently patted the back of Zhou Chao's hand with his right hand.
Zhou Chao had a smile on his face. He knew that this was the excitement of the old man, and he could also feel this feeling.
"Grand grandson, this is a red envelope from you, your wife, and my great-grandson, please keep it!" The third grandfather took out three red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Chao.
"Thank you, Third Grandpa!" Zhou Chao and Jiang Li said in unison.
The third grandpa smiled and nodded, and the younger generation followed him up.
Seeing this, Zhou Chao took Jiang Li's hand and walked aside.
Soon the birthday ceremony came to an end. Several young people came up carefully carrying a six-layer cake, and placed the cake in front of the third grandfather.
Just as the third grandfather was about to blow out the candles, he heard exclamations from the crowd below.
"I'll go, this convoy is too luxurious, the first one is still a Rolls-Royce."
"The worst thing is Mercedes-Benz. Why does it feel like you can't see the end at a glance? At least there are twenty or thirty cars."
"I'm afraid, alas, why did the car slow down and approach this way, it's not here to celebrate Mr. Zhou's birthday!"
"How is it possible? Among the three sons of the old Zhou family, the most powerful boss is only a small contractor. Even the boss of the Zhou family only drives a Volkswagen. How could he know these big bosses!"
"Stop, stop, the convoy stopped, and the people in the car got off. I'm going. It seems that I really came to celebrate Mr. Zhou's birthday. I didn't expect the Zhou family to hide so deeply!"
"Who said no, the three sons of the Zhou family usually look like that, who knows that they know so many big bosses!"
All of a sudden, the whole dam became noisy, and even the members of the Zhou family on the stage all looked at the luxury motorcade parked not far away, discussing in low voices who was coming.
Zhou Chao looked into the distance and muttered in a low voice: "It can't be that Sicong's stick did it. If he really did it, when I return to the devil, I will have to give him a hard time."
"Brother Chao, what are you muttering about? Do you know who these people are?" Jiang Li leaned into Zhou Chao's ear and whispered, he could hear clearly just now.
"I'm not sure if it was arranged by Tie Cong. It stands to reason that the Zhou family would not know such a person with their current strength.
Do you still remember the phone call I made when I was upstairs? I told him that I came back to Wudu to celebrate the third grandpa’s birthday. Now that I think about it, he hung up on me in a hurry. Just to arrange something to do! "
Sure enough, Zhou Hao, who was standing not far from Zhou Chao, exclaimed loudly, "Isn't that Mr. Chen and Mr. Yang from the headquarters of Yida Wudu? Why did they come here in person?"
But soon Zhou Hao came back to his senses, turned to look at his elder brother Zhou Chao, gestured excitedly, and asked if Zhou Chao had arranged it specially.
Before Zhou Chao could respond, he watched the people getting on and off from the luxury convoy walking towards this side. Zhou Chao's uncles, second uncles and third uncles all rushed to meet him, and even Zhou Hao followed.
Before the uncle could speak, the middle-aged man leading the other party asked, "Excuse me, is this the scene of the birthday banquet for Mr. Zhou's 80th birthday?"
Zhou Naifu, also Zhou Chao's uncle, was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said, "That's right, may I ask who you are?"
Zhou Hao on the side quickly said: "Dad, this is Mr. Chen, the general manager of our Yida Wudu headquarters!"
Hearing this, Mr. Chen glanced at Zhou Hao in surprise, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to belong to our Yida. Which branch do you work for now?"
"Mr. Chen, I'm Zhou Hao from the Human Resources Department of Wudu Headquarters!" Zhou Hao couldn't help but straighten his back while speaking, with a nervous tone in his tone. After all, this is the superior of his superior's superior.
Mr. Chen patted Zhou Hao's shoulder with a smile, "Young man, you're good. I'll be back after the National Day holiday. Your shoulders will have to be burdened!"
As soon as Zhou Hao heard this, he didn't know that he was going to be promoted, so he quickly thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Mr. Chen, I will work harder!"
At this time, Zhou Naifu's face was also filled with excitement, and he quickly called Mr. Chen to go inside. Hearing the flattering words from the crowd next to him, Zhou Naifu felt that his back was quite straightened.
Zhou Hao, who knew the ins and outs of the matter, looked at his father's appearance that he couldn't be dragged anymore, and patted his head helplessly, "I just hope that I won't be too embarrassed when I find out the truth later."
Mr. Chen, Mr. Yang, and Yida executives passed through the crowd led by Zhou Naifu, and saw the protagonist sitting on the stage and Zhou Chao not far behind him.
When he saw Zhou Chao's face clearly, Mr. Chen's heart skipped a beat. As an executive of Yida, he had seen Zhou Chao's photo. He knew what this Young Master Zhou represented. Seeing Zhou Chao shake his head slightly, he quickly stopped in his tracks.
"Mr. Chen, what's the matter?" Seeing Mr. Chen stop, Zhou Naifu asked quickly.
"It's okay, I just forgot to give Mr. Zhou's birthday gift and it's still in the car. Mr. Yang, you arrange someone to bring the things over."
"Understood, Mr. Chen." Although he was puzzled, Mr. Yang arranged for someone to bring the gift over.
Mr. Chen also came up to the stage and came to Mr. Zhou's side, and said respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, on behalf of Yida, I'm here to pay respects to Mr. Zhou. I wish you good fortune as long as the East China Sea and flowing water, and a longer life than Nanshan!"
Mr. Zhou also saw that Mr. Chen and the others had a lot of backgrounds, so he stood up quickly. This scene made Mr. Chen's legs almost go limp.
"Mr. Zhou can't force it, you can't force it, you are a birthday man and should sit down." While speaking, he glanced at Zhou Chao without any trace.
Master Zhou was still planning to persuade him, but seeing Mr. Chen's resolute attitude, he stopped pushing.
At this time, the people arranged by Mr. Yang came over with congratulatory gifts. More than a dozen bodyguards were holding or holding things in their hands. There must be dozens of stacks.
"Wow!" There was an uproar at the scene, everyone was shocked by this generous gesture.
"Mr. Zhou, this is a wish from our Yida Group, I hope you don't mind!"
"Isn't this too expensive!" Mr. Zhou was also shocked when he looked at it. Apart from the stacks of cash, there were also quite a few gold ornaments.
"This is what it should be, you can accept it with confidence!"
Master Zhou nodded a little numbly, and hadn't recovered from the shock yet.
At this time, the master of ceremonies at the side saw that the time was almost up, so he quickly stood up and continued the unfinished process.
As Mr. Zhou blew out the candles on the cake, the birthday ceremony officially ended.
