Chapter 287 [New Volume Begins] Godfather
On Saturday afternoon, Qian Hongxing's familiar Audi drove into the dormitory area of Yigang.
The people living in Yigang are all ordinary workers. The most common thing they see is bicycles. Such a good car is really rare to see. They all stick their heads out of the windows, wondering whose house this is for.
Then I saw the Zhou family of four get into an Audi, and the driver even got out of the car and opened the door for them.
"The Zhou family is doing pretty well now, even hooking up with some wealthy people. This car alone must be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"That's because his son is very successful. There's no need to envy him."
Zhou Yi sat in the passenger seat, and his parents and grandfather sat in the back seat.
"Xiao Sun, thank you for your hard work and for making this special trip." Zhou Yi said to the driver.
"It's not hard. I get paid and I do whatever the money tells me to do." The bodyguard Xiao Sun, whom I had met in the hospital, said seriously.
"Has Mr. Qian not found a suitable driver yet?" Zhou Yi asked.
"I'm sorry, Officer Zhou. Mr. Qian told me that I'm not allowed to ask about anything that I shouldn't know." Xiao Sun said seriously.
Zhou Yixin thought that Qian Hongxing had chosen a good bodyguard this time, but he was a little stupid.
But it's also good. After all, we have to protect Qian Lailai and Yao Yuling, mother and son. This kind of personality is more stable.
The grandfather sitting in the back row spoke up: "Young man, are you from the army?"
"Um."
"Oh, it's great to be in the army. Thinking back to those days, we went to fight..." Grandpa began to recall the past as excitedly as if he had seen his relatives, but his relatives were obviously all around him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Sun turned around excitedly and asked, "Grandpa, have you ever been a soldier?"
Zhou Yi said: "My grandfather is a veteran. He fought against the Japanese and served in the Volunteer Army."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Sun's eyes changed instantly, filled with admiration. He immediately turned around, saluted solemnly, and shouted loudly: "Hello, old squad leader!"
This scared Zhou Jianguo and his wife.
Grandpa also raised his hand and returned a standard military salute: "Hello, young comrade."
Zhou Yi was afraid that the two veterans and new recruits would get carried away with their conversation, so he quickly said, "Xiao Sun, let's go first. Don't let Mr. Qian and the others wait anxiously."
The car started and the grandfather began to chat with his grandson, talking about whether the food in the army was good and whether the clothes were warm.
Xiao Sun's attitude was obviously much more friendly than before. He opened up and answered all the old man's questions.
Hearing that the troops were well fed and well clothed, Zhou Ah Si couldn't help but burst into tears, murmuring repeatedly, "That's great, that's great."
The Audi drove into Hongcheng Baodi. Zhou Jianguo and his wife were shocked by the gate of this high-end villa area. Zhang Qiuxia leaned against the car window with her eyes wide open, saying repeatedly, "It's great, it's great."
The security guard at the gate was still so dedicated, shouting respectfully to the vehicles: "Welcome home, our valued owners."
"Zhou Jianguo, you've been laid off. Can you come here and work as a security guard in the future?" Zhang Qiuxia said.
Zhou Yi's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
When driving into the villa area, Zhang Qiuxia was even more surprised, feeling like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but scold, "Don't be so jumpy. You're embarrassing your son."
Soon, the car stopped at the door of Qian Hongxing's villa.
As soon as Zhou Yi and the others got off the car, Qian Hongxing came out to greet them.
"Officer Zhou, thank you for visiting us. Welcome, welcome."
Then he greeted Zhou Yi's parents and grandfather.
People call Zhou Jianguo "Big Brother" and Zhang Qiuxia "Old Sister-in-law", but when it comes to Zhou Asi, they call him "Grandpa".
Zhou Yi suddenly felt that he seemed to have been demoted.
But when he thought about it carefully, Qian Hongxing was 45 years old this year, and his father was only 49 years old. It seemed that they were indeed of the same generation.
However, although the actual age difference is only five years, there is still a big difference in their appearance.
Zhou Jianguo has been a worker for thirty years and looks like he is only fifty-four or fifty-five.
Qian Hongxing is the big boss, full of energy and energy, and looks to be in his early forties.
Although I aged a lot because of the Qian Lailai incident, I was essentially exhausted and tired. Now I have recovered and my form is back.
Qian Hongxing welcomed Zhou Yi and his family into the house. When Zhang Qiuxia saw the magnificent interior of the villa, she was about to sigh when Zhou Jianguo stopped her with his elbow.
Yao Yuling, with her hair tied up and wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand and greeted Zhou Yi and his family warmly.
Zhang Qiuxia said, "This girl is so pretty. She looks just like your father."
Yao Yuling's brain wasn't very good to begin with, so she asked in surprise, "Auntie, do you know my dad?"
Zhou Yi knew that this was awkward, and fearing that they would continue the conversation, he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mrs. Qian, my mother recognized the wrong person. Please don't mind."
"It's okay, Hongxing, you sit with the guests for a while, I have a few dishes here." Then he went back to the kitchen.
Zhou Yi saw a hint of embarrassment in Qian Hongxing's micro-expression and knew that he understood the misunderstanding just now.
Zhou Yi tugged at his mother's clothes and whispered, "That's his wife, not his daughter."
Zhang Qiuxia was startled and looked at her son in disbelief: "This...this age difference is too big."
"What do you care about them? They are a legal couple." Zhou Yi retorted.
Qian Hongxing asked them to sit down. The coffee table in front of the sofa was already filled with fruits and dried fruits. It was obvious that Qian Hongxing attached great importance to this meal.
I turned on the TV because I was afraid they would be bored.
Zhang Qiuxia marveled at the huge 53-inch rear-projection TV and said to Zhou Jianguo, "Look at this TV, it has no bottom."
Color TVs had become popular in 1997, but they were expensive and, like black and white TVs, had large butts.
Compared with conventional color TVs at the time, rear-projection TVs looked much more advanced.
However, Zhou Yi did not find it strange, because with the advancement of technology, the rear-projection TV that he bought for tens of thousands of yuan at the time was later sold as scrap for two hundred yuan and no one was bothered to take it.
This is the advancement of technology.
"This must cost several thousand, right?" Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Yi casually replied, "Probably around 30,000 or 40,000."
The couple's jaws dropped instantly, feeling like they had lived most of their lives in vain.
"Mr. Qian, are you coming?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Sister Yang is taking a nap with me. I'll go call her." Qian Hongxing was about to stand up as he said that.
"No, let the child sleep. When will he go back to school?"
"I plan to take my child out of school first, and then transfer him to another school after the summer vacation so that he can start the first grade again. By then, no one will know his identity."
Zhou Yi nodded. It was April now, and school would only last a few months until September. Besides, primary schools in the 1990s were not compulsory, and there was no need to study much in the first grade.
Even if we take a step back and say that with Qian Hongxing's family background, Qian Lailai was already at the top of the pyramid when he was born.
In his previous life, he had bad luck and was not blessed with good fortune, but in this life, he successfully overcame the calamity and will definitely be a rich second-generation in the future.
The kind that can fly into the sky without taking off.
But it can be seen that Qian Hongxing is really scared. Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
"Mr. Qian, relax a little. Good luck will come to him." Zhou Yi consoled him.
Qian Hongxing said with emotion: "No, this is not God's blessing, it is his fate to meet a noble person like you."
At this time, footsteps were heard on the stairs, and Sister Yang came down holding Qian Lailai's hand.
Qian Lailai was frightened when he saw so many people in the room. He didn't dare to move forward. But when Zhou Yi, who had his back to him, turned around, a smile appeared on the little boy's face. "Hello, police officer."
Qian Hongxing waved his hand: "Come on, come here quickly."
Qian Lailai immediately ran to his father, and Qian Hongxing taught him to call Zhou Jianguo and his wife grandpa and grandma, and to call Zhou Asi great-grandfather.
Zhou Yi suddenly felt that this relationship was a bit confusing.
Qian Hongxing calls his parents "Brother" and "Sister-in-law", but his wife Yao Yuling calls her mother "Auntie".
Then he asked Qian Lailai to call his parents grandpa and grandma. This relationship made him feel a little confused. It was like solving a case.
"Come on, do you remember what your father said to you?" Qian Hongxing said.
Qian Lailai nodded.
Just when Zhou Yi was confused, Qian Lailai suddenly knelt down in front of Zhou Yi and shouted, "Godfather."
"What?" Zhou Yi was stunned, and Zhou Yi's family was even more dumbfounded.
Zhou Yi hurried to support the child because he saw that the child was about to kowtow.
"Mr. Qian, what's going on?" Zhou Yi asked hurriedly.
"Officer Zhou, you saved my son twice. You are his adoptive parent. I want Lailai to recognize you as his godfather and take care of you in your old age." Qian Hongxing said sincerely.
Zhou Yi quickly shook his head and helped the child up: "This won't do. This is inappropriate."
Qian Hongxing pushed his son, who had just stood up, back down. "Officer Zhou, you must do me a favor on this matter. Just for the sake of the child. If you accept Lailai as your godson, we'll be brothers from now on. Just think of me as your elder brother and consider me your stepbrother."
Zhou Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Qian Hongxing's original intention of having this meal was to make Qian Lailai recognize him as his godfather.
He believed that Qian Hongxing wanted to express his gratitude to him.
But at the same time, he also knew that Qian Hongxing, such a shrewd businessman, wanted to establish a closer bond with him, and the child was naturally the best excuse.
It's not that he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to do something. For a businessman, it's easier to get things done if you have connections in the government. Zhou Yi remembered that there seemed to be a fishmonger who made his fortune that way.
Zhou Yi pulled the child up, but in order to prevent Qian Hongxing from making the child kneel down again, he directly picked up the child and sat him on his lap.
"Mr. Qian, I didn't say I wouldn't give anyone face. Simply recognizing him as a godfather is really inappropriate. Look, the child is seven years old this year, and I'm twenty-three. There's a sixteen-year age difference between him and me. How can a sixteen-year-old become a father?"
"Godfather." Qian Hongxing explained.
"That's not appropriate." Zhou Yi said helplessly.
Then he said to the child, "Come on, from now on just call me uncle, or brother."
Qian Hongxing immediately said, "You can't call me brother, because then I'll be taking advantage of you."
Zhou Yi thought, when you called my parents brother and sister-in-law, weren't you already taking advantage?
"Mr. Qian, if the child calls me uncle, I recognize him, but I won't recognize him if he calls me godfather." Zhou Yi finally made the final decision.
Having said this, Qian Hongxing had no choice but to accept it.
"There's one more thing..."
