Fang Haoyu was speechless for a moment. Every Spring Festival family gathering was a stage for him and his cousin Chen Zhilin to show off.
Although his cousin is the deputy director and he is only a department head, the 4S store where his cousin used to work is only a second-tier car brand, and their career achievements are basically the same.
I didn't expect that my cousin would switch jobs to such a great brand as Mercedes this year. Although there are several Mercedes 4S stores in Shancheng, being the deputy sales director of just one of them is not that great.
But in the Fang family gathering, he can already act very pretentious.
Fang Haoyu was a little depressed, but he couldn't admit defeat. He thought about it and smiled calmly:
"Cousin, you gave me an idea. It is said that the Queen Lin Yao and Zhang Bo have a good relationship. Did you watch the Golden Melody Awards this year? It was Zhang Bo who gave the award to Lin Yao.
So I plan to propose to the company after the new year that we use Zhang Bo's connections to invite Lin Yao to be the spokesperson. Our Anjia Real Estate is a large national company, so having two spokespersons should be no problem at all."
Fang Haoyu spoke with great confidence, acting like a senior manager of Anjia Company. In fact, he was only the director of the human resources department of the branch company and had no qualifications to make such suggestions to the company involving the overall strategy.
"Haoyu, this is a good idea. Lin Yao is so popular. I hear her name all the time. If your company invites her to be its spokesperson, her fame will definitely increase!"
Fang Guoyou didn't understand all this, but when he heard his son say it so concisely, he naturally felt that it made sense.
"Judging from this promotion strategy, my cousin, your plan is indeed feasible. I think your company should adopt it. Maybe because of your plan, Anjia Company's performance will improve. Next year, I will call you President Fang."
Chen Zhilin was very proud of his successful job switch to an international brand, and was happy to cooperate with his cousin in bragging, saying with a smile.
"Haha, it was my cousin who gave me the inspiration."
When Fang Haoyu heard the name "Mr. Fang's" son, his face immediately flushed and he burst into laughter.
The others also laughed, and the yard was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Such scenes are not uncommon in many family Spring Festival gatherings. Successful people in their careers will naturally become the center of the gathering, and the Spring Festival is also the best time for them to show their success and return home in glory.
Of course, in every family, there are also some losers who are mediocre and have no achievements in career or family. They can only serve as supporting roles and are even unpopular.
In Fang Zhulian's mind, her eldest brother Fang Guoqing and his family, especially Fang Shengnan and Fang Xiaole, were such losers. At this moment, she glanced at the second floor and said to her third brother Fang Guoqing:
"Our two families get along really well. Zhilin and Haoyu are both successful in their careers and have something in common. Unlike Shengnan and Xiaole, they've been wandering around in the big city for so long and haven't achieved anything, right? Is it state-owned?"
"Second sister, forget it, let's set up ours."
Fang Guoyou also glanced upstairs, afraid that they would be heard and cause another argument, so he whispered a word of advice.
"Oh, yes, we will. Their family can't get involved anyway."
Fang Zhulian sneered and looked at her son proudly.
So, the two families, with Chen Zhilin and Fang Haoyu as the core, continued to start a new round of New Year's bragging conference.
"Dad, we're back."
The laughter and joyful chatter in the yard reached the second floor, making the atmosphere in the room even more depressing.
Fang Guoqing stood in the middle of the room and spoke to an old man sitting on a chair.
The old man was wearing an old-fashioned winter coat that looked like a cotton-padded jacket. He had gray hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a hooked nose. It was obvious that he was also a handsome man when he was young.
Although his face is full of wrinkles now, he is still energetic and his eyes are bright. However, after seeing Fang Guoqing's family, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Happy New Year, Dad."
Song Yan stood behind Fang Guoqing and shouted, then turned her head to look at Fang Shengnan and Xiong Sangou.
Fang Shengnan curled her lips, but still called out respectfully, "Grandpa."
Xiong Sangou smiled and said, "Grandpa, hello, I wish you a happy new year, good health, and all the best."
Fang Yucheng looked at Xiong Sangou, and Fang Guoqing quickly introduced him, "Dad, this is Xiao Xiong, Xiong Sangou. He is Shengnan's boyfriend."
"Um."
Fang Yucheng looked Xiong Sangou up and down, and finally a smile appeared on his stern face.
Then he looked behind Fang Shengnan and asked, "Where's Xiaole?"
Fang Guoqing answered respectfully: "He has several friends who came to Shancheng to look for him, and he went to the airport to pick them up, Dad..."
After a pause, Fang Guoqing continued, "None of his friends are from Shancheng, and they don't have any relatives here. I asked him to bring his friends over for dinner."
"Um."
Fang Yucheng nodded and stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room was as frozen as a piece of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, just like the father-son relationship between Fang Yucheng and Fang Guoqing.
Song Yan quietly pulled Fang Guoqing's clothes from behind, indicating that he should talk about the accommodation allocation for the night.
But after Fang Guoqing looked at his father's face, he only said: "Dad, let us go first."
Fang Yucheng didn't say anything, just nodded slightly with a cold face.
Song Yan became anxious and was about to step forward to ask herself, but was pulled out by Fang Guoqing.
Fang Shengnan and Xiong Sangou also followed the two out of the house.
Fang Guoqing and Song Yan went downstairs together. Song Yan shook off his hand and pointed at her man with her eyes wide open in anger.
"Fang Guoqing, why are you so cowardly?!"
Fang Guoqing sighed, took his wife's hand and said:
"Wife, last year, my dad was almost hospitalized because of this. I can't bring it up directly this year. Let's wait until Xiaole comes back."
Song Yan was about to curse, but seeing that her "son-in-law" was still beside her, she had to hold back. She glared at Fang Guoqing fiercely, turned around and walked into the yard.
Fang Guoqing quickly said to Fang Shengnan, "Go look after your mother and don't let her quarrel with your second aunt again."
Fang Shengnan pointed at her nose and couldn't help laughing, "Dad, are you sure you want me to go? Aren't you afraid that I'll start a fight with them first?"
Fang Guoqing was speechless, thinking that he was also confused. How could he let a small powder keg watch over a big powder keg? Isn't this courting death?
At this time, Xiong Sangou took the initiative to say: "Uncle, I will go and persuade Auntie."
Fang Guoqing nodded and said to Xiong Sangou helplessly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Xiong, I made you laugh."
"It's okay, uncle. Every family has its own problems. To be honest, my family is even more exaggerated than yours."
Xiong Sangou smiled, turned around and chased after Song Yan.
Fang Shengnan looked at Xiong Sangou's back, a little dazed.
"Man-man, man-man?"
Fang Guoqing's voice brought her back to her senses. She quickly turned her head to look at her father: "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Call your brother and ask if he and his friends are coming over for dinner. Your grandma can cook a few more dishes."
Fang Guoqing was also preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't notice his daughter's abnormality.
"Oh, okay."
Fang Shengnan quickly took out her phone.
