Chapter 1580: Waiting for the dishes to be cold
When Jiang Xiaobai arrived, Jiang Zijian and his family almost fell asleep waiting, and the children were already asleep.
Jiang Zijian couldn't bear it anymore and took a nap on the chair. Gu Li didn't sleep, but it wasn't because she wasn't sleepy and she was too hungry to sleep.
Only one person, Gu Zhengwen, was energetic, although he got up from time to time and walked around on the ground smoking a cigarette.
But I never felt sleepy at all.
"Lili, go and heat up the dishes and the wine," Gu Zhengwen said.
"No dad, this dish has been reheated several times. Let's wait until someone comes to reheat it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that by the time Jiang Xiaobai comes over, this dish will be reheated." Gu Li said angrily.
"You kid..." Gu Zhengwen shook his head.
"Really, why don't we eat something first? Zijian is already asleep and has to go to work tomorrow. It's not a big deal to stay up and wait like this.
Besides, you are so old and your health is not very good. If you suffer from such a long time, if something goes wrong with your body..."
Gu Li persuaded her father earnestly.
"Besides, it's so late. Maybe Jiang Xiaobai is delayed by something, and it's not necessarily that he won't come..." Gu Zhengwen shook his head and said.
"No, dad, what are you doing? Are you so anxious, and you have to say it in person? Can't you say no tomorrow?" Gu Li couldn't understand why her father was so stubborn today.
"It's not a big deal, it's just..." Gu Zhengwen was about to say something when the sound of a car came from outside the yard.
Then the light came on.
Jiang Zijian's family lived in a bungalow allocated by the work unit. Although the place was not too big, it was quite comfortable to live in a private courtyard.
"Quick, quick, go and heat up the food, Jiang Xiaobai should be here." Gu Zhengwen said anxiously.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Li gave her father a roll of her eyes, and while carrying the dishes to the kitchen, she woke up Jiang Zijian, who was napping in the chair next to him.
"The third child is here, what time is it?" Jiang Zijian said drowsily, rubbing his eyes.
Jiang Xiaobai got out of the car and did not ask Li Longquan to wait outside the car. They were not outsiders anyway, so Jiang Xiaobai walked in directly with Li Longquan.
"Second brother, what's going on? You're so anxious, but you still have to tell me face to face..." Jiang Xiaobai shouted at the top of his lungs as he walked in.
It's exactly the same as what Gu Li asked Gu Zhengwen just now.
"It's nothing." Jiang Zijian glanced at his father-in-law and sighed.
How could he know what was going on? He has been tortured quite a lot until now.
"Hey, Uncle Gu is here too. What a coincidence. When did Uncle Gu come?" Jiang Xiaobai also saw Gu Zhengwen at this time.
In fact, when the Huaqing Building was first built, Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Zhengwen had some interactions, but they lost contact later.
Besides, Gu Zhengwen was not his father-in-law, so of course the two had little contact.
"I'll be here in the afternoon." Gu Zhengwen said with a smile.
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, and in an instant he understood that it was Gu Zhengwen who was looking for him tonight.
Otherwise, if Jiang Zijian had something to say to him, Gu Zhengwen would probably avoid it in advance.
What's more, it's already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Gu Zhengwen is still lingering here.
"Okay, let's go in and talk." Jiang Xiaobai nodded without saying anything else. Like a master, he led a group of people into Jiang Zijian's house.
"Xiaobai is here. I heated up the food and we can eat it right away. I don't know when you will arrive, so I made the food in advance." Gu Li looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said.
She wasn't too sure how capable this brother-in-law was, but he was the most capable in the family.
You can tell by looking at how her sister-in-law usually behaves. Maybe before Jiang Xiaobai arrived, Gu Li complained that she came too late, but after Jiang Xiaobai arrived, she didn't complain at all.
"What kind of food are you hot? I've already eaten." Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said no, what time has it been, how come he hasn't eaten yet.
"Yes, let's have a few bites. The wine is still warm, so drink two glasses." Gu Li smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Xiaobai realized something and looked at his second brother and second sister-in-law.
"No, aren't you waiting for me to have dinner? I remember I told my second brother in the afternoon that I have something to do in the evening. I have to eat with two important guests. I will come over after dinner." Jiang Xiaobai asked doubtfully.
"Yes, my dad knew you were coming later, so he just wanted to wait." Jiang Zijian said.
Jiang Xiaobai understood, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Uncle Gu, what are you doing?
Needless to say, I've already eaten, but I haven't eaten. After you finish, I'll just come over and eat the leftovers. My family doesn't pay attention to this..."
"Haha." Gu Zhengwen smiled and did not explain.
But Gu Li on the side smiled. Looking at this person, this third child is indeed a big business person. She said these two words and felt warm in her heart.
No matter whether they really eat leftovers or not, they are treated as a family by saying this.
Soon the food was served, and Gu Zhengwen poured wine for Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai did not refuse. No matter what, he had waited until this point.
"Okay, I'll apologize for this first drink. I'm sorry. Today, the leaders from Yangcheng and Pengcheng came to talk about the company's relocation. I really can't leave."
Jiang Xiaobai drank the wine glass in one gulp.
The same goes for Jiang Zijian and Gu Zhengwen, but what Jiang Xiaobai didn't notice was that Gu Zhengwen's face changed and became a little ugly.
"Okay, you guys hurry up and eat, and chat while you have something to do." Jiang Xiaobai said.
Jiang Zijian helped him eat, and at the same time asked curiously: "The leaders from Pengcheng and Yangcheng came over to discuss the company's relocation. Is your Huaqing Holding Company really going to move out?"
Gu Zhengwen's face darkened. He was a son-in-law who really didn't know how to open or pick up the pot. Why did he continue to ask this?
This makes me wonder how to speak for a while.
"Xiaobai, take two more bites." Gu Zhengwen greeted.
Jiang Xiaobai thanked him when he arrived, but was not interrupted by Gu Zhengwen and continued: "Yes, we have to move.
I’m going to take time another day to talk about this matter to you as a family.”
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Zijian to ask again, he continued: "By the way, second brother, what do you want to see me for today?"
Jiang Zijian raised his head and looked at Gu Zhengwen after hearing this.
Gu Zhengwen opened his mouth, but hesitated, but he didn't know what to say. If it weren't for what Jiang Xiaobai said just now, there would be no problem at all for him to say what he wanted to say at this time.
But just now Jiang Xiaobai said that he was going to relocate, how could he say anything at this time?
"Uncle Gu, if you have something to say, please tell me directly!" Jiang Xiaobai said.
