wned and envied by people from other parts of the country. 。The Jiang merchants were a highly influential business group throughout China. On the one hand, "Jiang merchants" were truly wealthy because...Xiao Yi's words were resolute and undeniable. The patriarch's domineering aura was evident, revealing his firm stance in terms of resolve. He then tempted them with benefits: "After I marry Chuan Ying, the development of the Xiao family in Hangzhou will definitely benefit greatly! I can guarantee that." 。"Ye Chuan'ying didn't sit down either, keeping in line with Xiao Yi: 'Xing Shi, just like Xiao Yi said, ever since your father passed away, I've been single. I raised you all by myself and did my best to consolidate the foundations of the Xiao family, successfully passing on the position of head to you.'" 。The Xiao family's bloodline has been continued, and the Xiao family's business is back on track. If you work hard, encourage expansion, and avoid extravagance, the Xiao family can live a comfortable life within a hundred years. 。And my task has been completed, from now on, no matter how many years are left, I want to spend them with Xiao Yi. 。"It's best if you agree, but I won't mind too much if you don't. I'll just leave on my own, guaranteeing that I won't take away a single blade of grass or penny from the Xiao family!"

Ye Chuanying was also very clear and straightforward in her attitude!

Lu Zaixing, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Committee sitting next to Xiao Xingshi, felt that this meal was really interesting today. 。During the New Year's Eve dinner, the various members of the Xiao family, across generations, laid bare their inner issues and conflicts. 。Lu was also happy for Xiao Yi and Ye Chuan Ying from the bottom of his heart. People reach old age, they can still obtain the love they desire! In life, what's most important isn't it just the word "love" Fame, wealth and power, all return to dust. In the end, leaving behind a trace of affection in this world, wouldn't be in vain for having walked this earthly path. 。So, deep down, Lu Zixing is also happy that the two elders can spend their remaining years together. 。However, it's hard for an impartial official to judge family matters. Today's affair involves important matters within the Xiao and Shao families, so Lu Zixing wouldn't dare to intervene. 。So, he just stayed silent, eating his meal slowly and savoring each sip of wine. 。Xiao Xingshi had already sensed the firm stance of Old Master Xiao and his mother, Ye Chuan'ying. The key was Mother Ye Chuan'ying's attitude. If things went awry today, not only would this New Year's Eve be ruined, but it might also become a laughingstock, a source of shame. 。Though Xiao Xingshi was deeply unhappy that his mother remarried at this age, he had no choice but to put the bigger picture first. 。He smiled faintly and said:

"Mom, what are you talking about How could we bear to let you go This is a big event related to your happiness. How could I possibly object As long as you're happy and content, we definitely support you." 。What I said earlier about "taking our time" wasn't meant to oppose you and Master Xiao being together. It's just that we should think it through carefully, so as to handle the matters below in a more appropriate and impressive manner! What do you all think

Xiao Xing Shi’s sudden change of attitude brought relief to everyone. 。Who wants to make a fuss on New Year's Eve As long as Xiao Xingshi, the head of the family, is alright, it doesn't really matter what the others do. After all, Xiao Xinghai and Xiao Xingyun, one doing business and the other in the pharmaceutical industry, are not the head of the family. Face is nothing compared to profit, so everyone agreed: "Yeah!" "Happiness is more important than anything!" "This is a good thing, why should we object" At this, Ye Chuanying also smiled: "Xiao Yi and I have already discussed it. We won't have a big banquet, we'll get married in the simplest way possible, get our marriage certificate, and then we'll learn from young people nowadays and go on a honeymoon. That will be enough for us." 。That is to say, keep a low profile, avoid unnecessary troubles, and keep things simple. 。Old Master Xiao also raised his cup and said to Xiao Xingshi, "You young ones think for us older ones, and we older ones will think for you young ones." 。You shall have what you deserve, and I will not trouble you with what you do not. 。"Here, let me and Chuan Ying toast everyone together, thank you all for making this possible!" Everyone also stood up and drank this cup of wine. 。This time, Provincial Party Committee Deputy Secretary Lu Zaihang and his wife Cai Jingbo also stood up. One can ignore family matters, but one has to drink the celebratory wine! Once this major event was decided, everything else became secondary. 。Next, Xiao Xinghai, Zhang Haiming and other people who like to drink started to toast each other around the table, while others chatted and talked until time passed and the banquet ended. 。That night, Ye Chuan Ying stayed at home. Xiao Yi wanted to be with Ye Chuan Ying, but considering he hadn't gone through the proper procedures, it would be inappropriate to stay in her room, so he returned to his own residence in Hangzhou. 。Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu, their children, Xiao Rongrong, and Fei Qingmei all lived in a hotel on the banks of West Lake. 。After dinner, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu asked Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei to take the children for a walk along the lake with Lu Zaixing and Cai Jingbo. 。Uncle Wang arranged guards for all three parties, protecting them in secret. 。Although they had eaten together before, with so many people and the noise, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu, and Lu Zaixing and his wife hadn't really gotten a chance to chat. 。。Lu Zhixing nodded and said, "That's right. Especially hearing that Secretary Jiang and Governor Gong both support you, and even the top leader at the city level has become your friend, these are all invaluable assets!" Xiao Zheng glanced at Xiao Jingyu and said, "The only regret is that Jingyu has worked hard. With me not by her side, she's been especially hardworking." 。"Xiao Jingyu smiled at Xiao Zheng, then asked Lu Zaihang, "Secretary Lu, when will you bring him back" Cai Jingbo also said beside him, "Zaihang, you can also help say something and ask Xiao Zheng to come back soon." 。Lu Zhi said: "It depends on how quickly Xiao Zheng leads Baoyuan to achieve poverty alleviation and become wealthy! The sooner they escape poverty, the sooner they'll come back." 。In the beginning, when Ning Gang, the former Party secretary of Jiang Kou, wanted to bring Xiao Zheng back, Xiong, the current Party secretary, also made a move. Xiong had said that if he ever needed Xiao Zheng, he would call him back. 。At first, Secretary Jiang also agreed. 。"But now we haven't become rich yet, and I'm embarrassed to ask for Xiao Zheng back, right"

Xiao Zheng said, "Secretary Lu, I will try my best!" Lu Zai xing revealed again: "Secretary Xiong, he has mentioned you two many times in my ear. He approves of you both very much." 。"Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu looked at each other. Usually, Secretary Xiong didn't contact them, but he didn't expect to talk about himself with Secretary Lu in private. Secretary Xiong is really an extraordinary leader! Lu Zai also said: "You two are now separated by distance, it's hard and lonely, that's inevitable. Keep going for a while longer, and believe everything will get better and better." 。A gust of wind blew across the lake, although cold, it also made people feel refreshed. 。After taking Lü Zhai and Cai Jingbo home, Lü Zhai had the driver take Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu back to their hotel. They had picked up the little one from their parents and placed him in the crib they brought from Jingshou. 。The little one was on their first trip away from home, having been ferried from the Xiao family to the hotel. As soon as they were laid in the crib, they fell fast asleep. 。Thus, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu could have another tender moment, satisfyingly falling asleep. 。After dinner that day, Xiao Guigu returned to the detached villa of Xizihu National Guest House. He had a few drinks in the evening, but it was far from Xiao Guigu's limit. 。Once he arrived at the villa, he called his brother Xiao Fufu and told him everything that happened at the dinner party that evening. 。Xiao Fufu immediately became unhappy, “Guigui, tell me, has Father been acting strangely lately Not only has he stayed in Jiangnan Jingzhou, a small town, for so long, but he also had the family place a ten billion yuan order with the Xiao family to show off! Is there any point to doing this” “If there is any meaning, it’s to make the Xiao family think that the Hua Jing Xiao family is very impressive >>> 。Xiao Guigui said, “We have face now.” 。“

What do we need this empty face for” Xiao Fufu said unhappily, “The current Xiao family is not the same as it used to be! Father doesn't know the value of firewood and rice!” Xiao Guigui said: “Big brother, when will you sit down and have a good talk with Dad, and let him know our actual situation The family isn't doing so well now!” Xiao Fufu said: “That also depends on having the opportunity! Look, now that Father is staying in Jiangnan, when will he return to Huajing This time, he's going to be with the old lady of the Xiao family. Such a big event, he didn't even tell me” 。You said, "Father hasn't considered me, the head of the house, in this matter, has he"

Xiao Guiguai said: “In this matter, your father did not do well.” 。When will I even mention this to the elderly, whether he listens or not 。"Xiao Fufu said: "Guigui, this matter is actually related to Xiao Rongrong! Ever since Xiao Rongrong returned to the family, my father has been acting a bit strange! On one hand, he lives with Xiao Rongrong and his family, and on the other hand, he allows Xiao Rongrong and his son Xiao Zheng to abuse the family's resources." 。This is definitely not a good situation. 。At that time, it won't just be me, the head of the family, who has a hard time. Your interests will all be affected! I assure you, I'm not exaggerating at all!"

As soon as Xiao Gui Gui heard that her own interests would also be affected, the strings in her heart tightened: "When is it Call Hua Hua over, and let us discuss this together." 。"Have you finished your business in Hangzhou" Xiao Fufu asked, "If you're done, come back early." 。Let's have a good chat about this during the Spring Festival! We really can't let our father keep doing this. 。"Xiao Guiguai said: "I'll be back tomorrow." 。"Xiao Fufu said, “Look, today is the eve of Lunar New Year. Your father called you to Hangzhou, so you don't even have time to be with your family!” Xiao Guigui said, “That doesn't matter, I'm quite content being alone in Hangzhou! As you know, my family, even when we're together, it's not really meaningful" 。"That's not how it is!" Xiao Fufu said, "Wait for you to come back, and I'll celebrate the New Year with you! Invite Huahua over, and we'll have a good drink!" 。Xiao Guigu said: “Then see you tomorrow.” 。Just as I hung up the phone, the doorbell of the villa rang. 。Xiao Guiguai was a little strange. On New Year's Eve, who could it beiao Zheng walked step by step into the... 。Beside, An Ruyi turned towards Xiao Zheng and said, "Chieftain Xiao, please be careful. "> 。This is the first time An Ruyi has cared so much about a man, fr...
