"Sister-in-law, that's not right. I gave you such a big red envelope today, but you didn't even pour less wine when you were pouring it."
Zeng Yu chuckled and said, "No way, I'm checking you out today. I can't side with outsiders, my sister isn't married to you yet."
"Tsk, Lili, your little sister seems to be thinking about you a bit."
Zeng Li hugged Zeng Yu: "Then you said she's my own sister."
"By the way, sis, where's the autographed photo I asked you to get for me?"
"It's in my bag, I'll get it for you in a bit."
"Hehe, thank you, sister and brother-in-law. Get up quickly, there's still dinner tonight. Uncle and uncle-in-law are already up."
Shen Fang covered his head with his hands: "Still drinking? Spare me..."
Zeng Li covered her mouth and giggled: "Scared now? It's okay, I'll stop you tonight, make sure you drink less."
"Alright, I'll fight them to the death."
After getting dressed, Shen Fang chatted with his uncles, aunts, and other relatives for a while until dinner was ready.
Serve.
The eldest uncle raised his glass: "We won't drink too much tonight, just two glasses each, and that's it."
Shen Fang smiled wryly: "This isn't even half a jin per person, it's really making me scared to drink it."
The uncle patted Chen Fang's shoulder with a smile: "Such a big boss shouldn't be stingy with drinks. But I find you pleasing to the eye. With your looks and height, you and Lili are a perfect match. Planning to get married soon?"
Shen Fang looked at Zeng Li, who smiled and said, "Uncle, there's no rush to get married. My career is at its peak right now, and he's busy too. We'll be happy. The fact that he came shows his determination. Consider this meal our engagement party. I'll definitely let everyone know when we're getting married."
The eldest uncle nodded: "It's good to be busy. I know you are not ordinary people, so I won't rush you to get married. But you should keep this in mind and be clear about your priorities."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I respectfully greet all the elders."
Zeng Li's elders are all very honest people, and what they say is very appropriate and reasonable.
Zeng Yan glanced at Shen Fang and said, "Mr. Shen, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Cousin, feel free to say whatever it is."
Zeng Yan glanced at Zeng Li: "My boyfriend also works at Tencent. He's a programmer, and we're planning to get married. But he wants to settle down in Shenzhen, while I'm thinking of going back to my hometown. Could you transfer him here?"
"No problem, it's a piece of cake. What's your name? Which department are you from?"
"Business Division 9, Li Minghao."
Shen Fang took out his phone and dialed Chen Yidan's number.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, you've arrived in Shenzhen?"
"No, Brother Chen, I need to talk to you about something."
"What's up?"
"Here's the thing, my sister-in-law's boyfriend works in Business Division 9, his name is Li Minghao. Could you arrange for him to come to Wuhan to develop his career, and promote him one level up to enter the management level?"
“Okay, no problem, Mr. Shen, come to Shenzhen more often? The annual meeting is in two days.”
"I'll definitely be there. I'll go as soon as I'm done with this."
"Okay, call me when you arrive, and Xiao Ma and I will come pick you up."
The call ended.
"nailed it."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, oh no, thank you, brother-in-law."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "It's a small matter. Start with management. As long as you do well, promotion and a raise will be just a matter of a word. But you also need to explain this to him clearly. Make him understand why he will be promoted and receive a raise. He wanted to settle down in Shenzhen, and you brought him to Wuhan. Naturally, you need to explain the pros and cons to him, let him know the benefits of coming, and also the disadvantages of not coming."
Zeng Yan said gratefully, "Thank you, brother-in-law!!!"

"Mom and Dad, wife, I'm home." Li Zaitian hummed a little tune, carrying the two packs of good cigarettes given to him by Shen Fang, and walked into the house.
Li Zaitian's wife was furious: "You're not even given a holiday during the Lunar New Year, and you're actually happy about it?"
Li Zaitian glared at his wife: "What do you know? Do you know who I picked up today? That's our company's CEO, a big shot in the head office."
Li Zaitian's wife curled her lip: "So what if he's a CEO? What does it have to do with you? Today is New Year's Day, and you've made your parents wait for you. How long have they been waiting for you? What a lousy job."
Li Zaitian's parents quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, say less. It's the New Year."
"Hey, you woman, you're no good at all. Look at this, what is it?"
Li Zaitian handed two packs of cigarettes to his wife.
"Look, what's this? Zhonghua Gold 1916 cigarettes. Look, these were all given by the boss. Even multi-millionaires might not be able to afford these cigarettes outside. Look, and look at this red envelope. These were all given by the boss."
Li Zaitian's wife glanced at the cigarettes and red envelopes on the table and immediately stopped being angry. She said, "Your boss gave you so many nice things just for this one trip?"
"That's right, you don't even know who our boss is. I've really seen something today. You know, our boss's girlfriend is as beautiful as an angel. She's that big star on TV, what's her name again? She's the one who acted in The Legend of Mi Yue. She brought 10 cartons of gold 1916, cases of Moutai liquor, mink coats, and I bought her a phone and a computer just for gifts. Just from today's spending, I estimate it's over 300,000 yuan."
"Look at this red envelope. It's more than my year-end bonus. Look at you, what do you know? This trip alone is worth more than half a year's salary here."
Li Zaitian's wife was no longer angry at all.
"Let's sell these cigarettes. They're so expensive, it's a shame to waste money on them."
“Sell what? You think you can sell something the boss gave you? You’re all talk and no action. Dad, you can keep the gold and smoke it, but take this gold 1916 back to your dad.”
Mr. Li shook his head: "Why would I bother smoking something so expensive? It's not selling well anyway. If you take it and smoke it, you'll look good."
Li Zaitian's wife also shook her head: "My dad usually smokes Platinum Butterfly cigarettes that cost three yuan a pack. Why are you giving him such expensive cigarettes? To show off? It's pointless. Keep these cigarettes for when you need to give them as gifts in the future."
Li Zaitian pursed his lips: "Is the food ready? Go buy a bottle of good wine, I'll have a drink with my dad. The boss will need the car in a couple of days, I'll go wash it after I finish eating."
