Su Yan didn't ask Lu Yian why he was so determined to pursue a career in politics. When her eldest son wanted to do business and didn't want to join the army, they supported him. Now she would naturally support her second son if he wanted to pursue a career in politics.
"Since you've made this choice, we will naturally continue to support you. Rourou, what about you? You're going to take the college entrance examination next year. Do you want to study abroad?"
Lu Yiru was very envious of her second brother who was able to skip a grade and get into university a year earlier than them. Her second brother didn't want to go abroad as an exchange student, and she didn't want to either. She really wanted to be a pilot.
Even if she can't be a pilot, she can work as a ground staff, as long as she can see the planes.
"Mom, I've decided to apply to the Air Force Flight Academy and fly a plane like my uncle. During the winter break, my uncle will take me there for advance training to prepare for the college entrance exam next year."
"Okay, we as your parents are so happy that you can stick to your dreams and fight for them."
The eldest son is in business, the second son wants to pursue a career in politics, and they don’t know what the third son’s dream is yet, so if he wants to study abroad, let him go.
If the fourth child wants to be a pilot, let her try it first. Whether she can be admitted to her ideal university and pass the pilot selection depends on her luck.
Seeing that the children were chatting happily, Lu Ting only asked the third child, "What do you want to be when you grow up? A doctor? A teacher? Or an inventor?"
Lu Yining smiled and said, "I want to be a judge, but I can also be a lawyer when I'm young."
Su Yan didn't expect that her son wanted to study law, become a lawyer and then a judge. She thought he wanted to be a doctor.
"It's good to be a lawyer. I can open my own law firm in the future."
"Mom, do you really think studying law is a good idea?"
"Yes, very good."
Lu Ting was a little depressed. Why didn't any of his sons want to become a soldier?
At ten o'clock the next morning, Su Yan helped Lu Yiru tie a high ponytail and asked her to change into a pink short jacket and a pair of fleece tight jeans.
Lu Yining put on the khaki coat that Su Yan had just bought, a pair of slim pencil pants, and held the mousse his mother brought back from Hong Kong City in his hand to take care of his hair.
Su Yan smiled and teased, "Hey, who's this handsome guy's family?"
Lu Yining and Lu Yirou said in unison: "Old Lu family."
Su Yan felt that it was a pity that her children were all very handsome but did not become movie stars. No matter how beautiful her daughter was, she did not want her to be in the entertainment industry. After all, that circle was really chaotic. It didn't matter for boys. In this era, no one would take advantage of gay men.
After everyone was dressed up, Su Yan took them on a three-wheeled motorcycle to the Jingshi Hotel to attend the 80th birthday party of Mr. Yan's mother.
When she arrived at the door of the banquet hall, someone came to greet her. It seemed to be Yan Jun's younger brother and sister-in-law. Su Yan took the initiative to greet them.
Then he asked Lu Yining to hand over the birthday gift for the old lady, a pot of yellow-green Phalaenopsis.
Of course, flowers have to be sent, and gift money still has to be given. She walked to the table where the gift money was written and glanced at the top gift money. There were gifts of one hundred and five hundred, and there were also gifts of ten or twenty below.
There are only a few dollars. I guess those who come here are well-known people, and they can't afford to spend a few dollars for a banquet in a place like this.
Su Yan originally thought that since she and Yan Jun were partners, giving a hundred yuan would be enough. However, when she saw that Chen Jing and Qin Peiran each gave a gift of five hundred yuan, would it be too stingy if she only gave one hundred yuan?
Yan Xi, the Hong Kong guy, was here today too. He would sometimes spend one or two thousand to treat beautiful women to dinner and drinks. If she only took one hundred, she would definitely be looked down upon.
Forget it, she might as well follow Qin Peiran and the others and give a gift of 500 yuan. Fortunately, she had 1,000 yuan in cash in her bag.
It really hurts her. She didn't even give her own mother a 500 yuan gift on her birthday. This year, she will give her parents a little more salary as a year-end bonus.
Seeing that Su Yan also wrote a gift of 500 yuan, Yan Jun's sister-in-law looked at her with a smile and took Su Yan to arrange the three of them, mother and son, at the fourth table.
There happened to be two acquaintances at this table, one was Chen Jing and the other was Qin Peiran. Qin Peiran came alone, and Chen Jing brought a female companion.
Including Su Yan, her mother and her two children, the table was still short of six people. Soon, Yan Jun's younger brother brought a few more people over, and soon the table was full.
Mr. Yan and his wife were busy entertaining the leaders above and did not come. Before the meal started, Yan Xi and Yan Jun came over to say hello.
Su Yan only then realized that the two people sitting opposite her, one ran an antique shop and the other was in the jade business. It was said that they were relatives of Old Madam Yan, and the other man and woman seemed to be friends of Yan Jun.
She brought her children here today specifically to broaden their horizons and see how businessmen interact with each other in the business world. Her daughter, in particular, should learn more about interpersonal communication and how to deal with things.
Lu Yirou looked at the white wine glasses, red wine glasses, and tea cups on the table and thought to herself that the layout of a large hotel was indeed different. In the middle of the round table stood a bottle of Moutai, two bottles of red wine, and two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda, one orange and one green.
After a while, the waiter brought a fruit plate to each table. The plate contained White Rabbit milk candy, chocolate with liquor filling, wafers, banana slices, raisins, beef jerky, and two boxes of Daqianmen.
Melon seeds, peanuts, orchid beans… none of these local products. Okay, he was superficial. Mom said the Yan family was a wealthy and powerful family, so this was nothing. Fortunately, she had seen the world. What delicious food hadn't she tasted?
Chen Jing's female companion saw Lu Yirou staring at the fruit plate and called out, "Little girl, have some candy."
Lu Yirou smiled sweetly, "Thank you, sister."
"Oh, little girl, you should call me aunt. I am your uncle Chen's fiancée. If you call me sister, we are one generation lower than your mother."
Her mother said that as long as they are not relatives of the same generation, young men and women should call them brother or sister. You should only change it if they ask you to call them uncle or aunt, and you should keep calling them that if they don't ask you to.
"You look like my older sister, but you're right. According to seniority, I should call you aunt. Sorry for being rude!"
Chen Jing looked at Su Yan with a smile. He didn't expect that Boss Su's daughter was also so smart. Not only was she as tall as her mother, but her facial features were also very delicate. He wondered if she would inherit her mother's curvy figure.
"My little niece is so good at talking. She must have eaten candy before coming here, right?" Chen Jing couldn't help but teasing.
"Uncle Chen, your smile is so sweet, it must be because Auntie fed you honey before you left."
Su Yan took two candies from the fruit plate and handed one to Lu Yiru and one to Lu Yining. "Alright, eat the candy. Don't be so disrespectful and make fun of your Uncle Chen."
Chen Jing took a box of Daqianmen from the fruit plate, tore it open, gave a cigarette to each of the men sitting there, and also handed one to Lu Yining.
Su Yan pretended not to see it and waited to see how he would deal with it. Lu Yining stood up without thinking, gently caught the cigarette with both hands, and then said to Chen Jing with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, I'm only fifteen this year and I can't smoke."
"I started smoking by stealing my dad's cigarettes when I was thirteen. You're over fifteen now, you can learn how to smoke. A cigarette before or after a meal is better than a living god."
