Lu Feng coughed twice, which Yao Yao thought meant he was frightened. She chuckled and said, "It's a small matter for your brother-in-law. He travels abroad frequently."
Lu Feng stared at his brother-in-law, Han Qiong, suspecting him of being a fraud. He thought that if Han Qiong knew anything about how a business operates, he wouldn't utter such arrogant words.
"You're promoting me to general manager?" Lu Feng asked, looking at him. "Are you sure?"
"Just a little water!" Han Qiong said.
"He speaks Cantonese, he's traveled all over the country, so he's learned a lot of different languages. He can even sing Cantonese songs. Your brother-in-law sings really well." Yao Yao said with a show-off attitude, "How about we drive to the city to sing karaoke this afternoon?"
"No, no, no!" Lu Feng hurriedly refused. People in the city's respectable hotels and dance halls all knew him.
The others at the table inquired about the son-in-law's background, and Yao Yao introduced him to them. Lu Feng then sat up straight and began to eat. The food was served, and it was past midnight when firecrackers went off downstairs. After finishing their meal, everyone went home.
All Lu Feng can do for these people is to be as kind and righteous as possible, to give his family enough money to support his parents in their old age, and as for others, as long as they don't get in his way, he can lend a helping hand as appropriate.
So she didn't expose Han Qiong. These days, there's no shortage of swindlers, so it's normal for one's own family to be deceived.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Yu Tian came over to exchange pleasantries. Holding a wine glass, he stood by the table, his face slightly flushed, and patted Han Qiong on the shoulder, saying, "Yao Yao, your uncle could tell when we got married that this guy would definitely treat you well. President Han is practically a perfect person. He's not only handsome but also capable."
"Uncle, you flatter me. Here, I mainly have to rely on you!" Han Qiong stood up and said.
"Please sit down. I just heard that you're going to promote Lu Feng to general manager of Jiaming Foods?" Yu Tian asked.
"Yes, I'll go back and ask if any of my companies have any dealings with Jiaming Foods. If so, it's just a matter of giving them a heads-up," Han Qiong said casually.
"Brother-in-law, could you let me be a general manager or something? I'll be the deputy director of the fourth factory in our county after the New Year." Yu Rongguang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly pulled out a cigarette from his pocket: "Brother-in-law, have a smoke!"
“This is my son, Rongguang. He had something come up and couldn’t make it to your wedding!” Yu Tian introduced.
Hello, hello!
"Let's have a drink." Yu Tian glanced at everyone present, raised his glass and said, "Everyone, raise your glasses and drink together. One is to wish our old man good health and longevity, and the other is to wish Yao Yao and her husband happiness and harmony."
Everyone at the table stood up, and Lu Feng had no choice but to stand up as well. He poured himself some drinks, clinked glasses with the others, drank them all in one gulp, and then sat down again. He looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Why don't you take Duoduo back to the hotel first? We'll send the two elders back to the village tomorrow."
"Never mind, let's wait a bit!"
Yu Rongguang stood there, offering cigarettes and lighting them, being extremely attentive, and whispered, "Brother-in-law, it's not appropriate for you to let Lu Feng be the general manager of Jiamei Foods."
"What's wrong with it?"
"This person has no respect for elders. You have no idea how much he angered Grandpa just now. He's only made a few bucks and he's already become like this. He doesn't know how to be grateful at all. He's so arrogant and domineering!"
“That’s right. You’re new to this house, so you can ask Yao Yao.”
Han Qiong was flattered by the father and son's back-and-forth praise, and since he wasn't good at drinking baijiu, he was already a little tipsy after two cups.
"It's him. He made some money outside and is trying to show off in front of you guys, isn't he?" Han Qiong asked Yao Yao, his finger almost poking Lu Feng's nose.
Lu Feng's anger flared as he looked at the finger pointing at him. He had been yielding all afternoon, trying to keep a low profile, but someone was still pointing a finger at him and accusing him of being pretentious.
Yao Yao clearly didn't care about Lu Feng's feelings at all. Right now, she was the most powerful person in the family, and even Yu Tian had to come over and say a few nice words to curry favor with her.
"I also think it's not quite right, but Rongguang is very ambitious."
"Please take your hand away!" Lu Feng said, staring at Han Qiong, his voice full of displeasure.
"What are you yelling at me for? Someone like you deserves to be struck by lightning. Let me tell you, your future is over," Han Qiong said, slightly drunk.
"Have you lost your sense of direction after drinking a little?" Lu Feng questioned.
"Lu Feng, how dare you talk to your brother-in-law like that? Let me tell you, don't act recklessly here. This is a big shot. If he's unhappy, you'll be in big trouble," Yu Rongguang reprimanded sternly.
Everyone at the table knew that the Yu family was very powerful. Seeing that even Yu Tian was so afraid of them, this new son-in-law must be a formidable figure. Some of the elders looked at Lu Feng with unfriendly expressions.
"Why are you always making trouble, kid? Don't you know what's good for you? How much money have you made? Is this place not big enough for you?"
"Yeah, ever since he sat down, he's been eating non-stop, like a starving ghost reincarnated?"
"He doesn't understand any rules at all!"
A child cried and yelled, "You even ate the last chicken leg! Waaaaah..."
Lu Feng was instantly condemned by everyone, his face turning extremely ugly. He picked up a napkin from the table, wiped his mouth, looked at Han Qiong, smiled, and said, "I don't want to talk to you. If you want to show off, then show off. Why did you provoke me?"
"Who's pretending?" Han Qiong was instantly furious and said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you, don't be arrogant in front of me. Believe me, I can make one phone call and you'll be kneeling on the ground begging me!"
