Chapter 485 Can we not be so fickle?
Yang Ming drove his Audi through the traffic on Longhai Airport Boulevard. From time to time, he would secretly look at Zhuang Ziqing sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and every time he did so, he would smile.
This made Zhuang Ziqing, who was sitting in the back row, feel a little weird, and he always felt uncomfortable.
"Hey" Zhuang Ziqing secretly tugged at Yang Huan's sleeve and nodded at Uncle Ming who was driving the car in the front seat.
It seemed as if he was saying, why is your housekeeper driver such a weird uncle?
Yang Huan laughed and said, "Uncle Ming, have you seen enough? Just focus on driving your car."
Uncle Ming smiled awkwardly, as if he was caught as a thief. "Master Huan, everyone was very curious when they heard that Miss Zhuang was coming."
These words made Zhuang Ziqing blush, this was her first time to visit the Yang family in Longhai.
I used to come into contact with the Yang family quite often when I was a child, but after I went abroad, I never met them again and I don’t know if we got along well.
"What are you curious about? She doesn't have a palm-sized birthmark on her face, and she doesn't look like Ruhua. What are you curious about?"
Yang Huan's playful look immediately aroused Zhuang Ziqing's anger.
You know I'm nervous, why do you tease me like this?
"No, no," Uncle Ming quickly shook his head.
In fact, one thing that everyone is very curious about is that we have always heard of Nanzhang and Beizhuang before.
Everyone knows how beautiful Miss Ning looks like a fairy.
But everyone is curious about what Miss Zhuang looks like.
When Uncle Ming saw them, he immediately felt that Miss Zhuang and Miss Zhang were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own strengths, and both were top-notch fairies. They were a perfect match made in heaven for his young master.
"Uncle Ming, you called me back so urgently and said that you must bring Ziqing with you. You don't just want to see her, do you?"
Yang Huan was also very curious.
If it weren't for that phone call from home, he would have been in England by now.
Uncle Ming shook his head. "I'm not very clear about the specific situation. It seems that the master has received a lot of calls in recent days, and Young Master Zhuang even made a special trip from Beijing to Longhai, but I don't know what he talked about with the master and the young master."
Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that something big had really happened.
Zhuang Mingyang is now an important government official. It must be a big deal for him to come to Longhai specially.
Yang Huan vaguely guessed something, reached out, grabbed Zhuang Ziqing's soft hand, and rubbed it gently.
Zhuang Ziqing grabbed Yang Huan's hand tightly, very tightly.
"The young master is back"
"Quick, inform the master and the young master that the young master is back."
As soon as Audi entered the courtyard of the Yang family villa, everyone here suddenly became excited.
Yang Huan's return home seemed to have become the most rare event in this family.
Before the car stopped, I saw my mother chasing after me from the gate.
As soon as Yang Huan got out of the car, he saw his mother coming towards him and immediately called out "Mom" with a smile.
He thought his mother was here to pick him up.
But soon, his smile froze.
"Oh, Ziqing is here." Mom immediately grabbed Zhuang Ziqing who got out of the car.
"Come, let me see you. Wow, I haven't seen you for years. You've grown so beautiful."
"Hello, Auntie," Zhuang Ziqing called out crisply.
"Hey, you call me auntie and mom." My mother was very rude.
Zhuang Ziqing glanced at Yang Huan with a wry smile; the latter was feeling depressed.
Hey, I used to be the protagonist, why did it take someone else’s role today?
People nowadays really like the new and dislike the old.
Seeing Zhuang Ziqing looking at him for help, Yang was happy, "Just shout, you'll have to call for help sooner or later anyway."
As I said this, I was so happy in my heart that I almost laughed out loud.
Zhuang Ziqing was so angry that she almost rushed over to bite him to death, but she had no choice. Seeing Yang Huan's mother's expectant eyes, she could only shout, "Mom!"
"Hey" Yang Huan's mother responded particularly loudly and greenly.
"Come on, come on, follow me in."
As he said that, he took Zhuang Ziqing's hand and was about to go in.
"Mom, there are still some things." Zhuang Ziqing pointed to the back compartment.
"It's okay, it's okay, let Ah Huan get it." After saying that, the mother didn't care about anything else and just pulled her wife away.
"Me?" Yang Huan almost cried.
Is there a mother like you?
Oh, now that you have a daughter-in-law, you don’t even want your son anymore?
Uncle Ming and others on the side were laughing secretly, they didn't expect that the young master who had always been the favorite of the family would fall out of favor one day.
Yang Huan sighed heavily and looked at Uncle Ming again, "What are you laughing at? Take the gift away and throw it away."
Uncle Ming burst out laughing at this. The young master was really jealous.
Of course, the gift would definitely not be thrown away, everyone knew that Yang Huan was joking.
Soon, Uncle Ming and others moved all the gifts of all sizes that Zhuang Ziqing had prepared overnight from the trunk of the car into the house.
"Ziqing, it's enough for you to come, why do you need to buy gifts?" Yang Baoping smiled from ear to ear.
He couldn't express in words how satisfied he was with his granddaughter-in-law.
Not only is she the granddaughter of his old comrade-in-arms, but she is also so beautiful. She is absolutely impeccable.
"Grandpa, these were all picked by Ah Huan. I don't really understand them." Zhuang Ziqing said with a gentle smile.
"Haha, you, don't speak for that kid. I've seen him naked from the beginning to now, don't I know him?"
Yang Huan sat aside, feeling extremely depressed.
I say, old man, could you please stop embarrassing your grandson in front of his grandson's wife?
How can I establish my prestige in front of my wife in the future like this?
And all of you treat Ziqing as your treasure, but leave me aside.
I say, can we not be so fickle?
"If he was half as filial as you, I wouldn't be away from him all year round."
It turns out that Mr. Yang still has a lot of resentment towards his precious grandson.
Now Yang Huan didn't dare to say anything more.
"Grandpa, Ah Huan is very busy. I will come back to accompany you more often in his place."
Zhuang Ziqing's words immediately comforted the old man.
Isn’t it?
When people get old, who doesn’t want to have many children and grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family life?
Yang Huan was full of resentment. After hearing this, he said sourly, "My grandfather meant more than that. He hopes that we will work harder and get them all promoted to a higher rank as soon as possible."
"Promotion by one level?" Zhuang Ziqing was stunned at first, but then her face turned red and she glared at Yang Huan in reproach.
Unexpectedly, not only Mr. and Mrs. Yang, but even Yang Huan's mother had a look of anticipation on her face, and her eyes couldn't hide the look.
Isn't the so-called promotion of an official just the hope that they will have children as soon as possible?
"Hey, don't listen to his nonsense. You are all still young. Don't be in a hurry. Don't be in a hurry." Yang Huan's mother fanned her hands at her son from a distance, taking the initiative to resolve the embarrassment for her daughter-in-law.
I'm talking nonsense, don't you want to?
Yang Huan was depressed. He felt that his status in this family was decreasing.
A few minutes later, Yang Wenfeng also came back.
The whole family was in a lively mood, all gathering around the newcomer, Zhuang Ziqing, and leaving the old one, Yang Huan, aside.
It was not until after dinner that the old man called Yang Wenfeng and his son and Zhuang Ziqing into his study.
The old man's study is decorated in Chinese style, which gives it an ancient and elegant feel.
In particular, the old man likes to make tea. Making a pot of fragrant tea and sitting in this quaint study makes people feel peaceful and harmonious in their hearts.
"Your grandfather called me a few days ago, and your father also made a special trip to the south. They both mentioned one thing to me, which is that they hope you can come back and work in the government department."
The study was quiet, with only the old man's voice remaining.
"Although I have always been against Wenfeng and Ah Huan going into politics, the country is in need of talent right now, and it is the time for you to put your knowledge and strengths to use. I believe this is also the reason why your grandfather and your father sent you out."
Zhuang Ziqing nodded. She had known about this arrangement at home for a long time.
"We are not the kind of people who are stubborn, and I heard that this is the intention of the higher-ups, so I discussed with your grandfather that we should get married as soon as possible, since you are both of legal marriage age anyway."
When Zhuang Ziqing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yang Huan, as if asking for Yang Huan's opinion.
I believe that both the old man and Yang Wenfeng are worried, fearing that Yang Huan has not had enough fun and is unwilling to get married so early.
After all, she was only twenty-two years old.
Yang Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw everyone staring at him.
"Can you please stop looking at me like that? It's just a marriage. I didn't refuse."
Yang Huan, Zhang Ning and Lin Yuner had already discussed this matter and had reached a tacit understanding.
Besides, the status has already been decided, so doesn’t it matter when we get married?
Seeing that Yang Huan had expressed his agreement, Mr. Yang and Yang Wenfeng also breathed a sigh of relief.
No one can tame this wild horse. It seems that Zhuang Ziqing will have to keep a closer eye on him in the future.
For them, completing the lifelong events of their children and grandchildren is undoubtedly a relief.
"Leave this matter to us to prepare, and you guys just wait patiently to become your bride and groom."
Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing looked at each other and both felt that this was just right.
To be honest, they really have no experience in how to plan a wedding.
And there will definitely be a lot of taboos at their wedding.
"Ah Huan, Yu Cui, don't be in a hurry to go back. It's rare for you to come back, so just stay at home for a few more days." The old man suggested.
Yang Huan curled his lips helplessly and could only agree.
"In a few days, you can accompany Ziqing to the capital, and tell her about our family's decision and discuss the wedding date."
"Oh, I see." Yang Huan agreed.
For the next period of time, Yang Huan stayed in Longhai.
When he had nothing to do, he took Zhuang Ziqing to travel around Longhai, went out to sea several times, met with Liu Mingwei and others several times, and also took time out to accompany Zhang Ning home to visit her family.
After being strongly urged by his family to stay for half a month, Yang Huan finally found an opportunity and took Zhuang Ziqing to the capital.
As a result, he escaped from the wolf's den but fell into the tiger's mouth.
The banker also tried his best to keep him staying, and as a result, he stayed for another half a month.
It was also during this period that the WeChat Research Institute announced that it would acquire Activision Blizzard, a subsidiary of Vivendi, for US$7 billion, and the famous American software company Valve for US$950 million.
Once these two acquisitions were announced, they immediately caused a huge stir in the domestic and international gaming circles.
People of insight outside the company have realized that this is a precursor to the WeChat Research Institute's expansion into the console gaming field.
Sure enough, the day after the acquisition was completed, Activision Blizzard announced that Blizzard would launch a game development project based on virtual reality helmets. Although the specific details were kept secret for the time being, it still caused a stir in the gaming industry.
Even Blizzard has started developing games in the field of virtual reality, so what are other game manufacturers waiting for?
Valve announced that it will invest in hardware research and development and launch a home console capable of running p-games in the near future. This will also be the world's first living room game console that supports p-games.
This immediately caused another uproar in the gaming industry.
Valve's gaming platform occupies a pivotal position in the global PC gaming field, and countless game fans have long been calling on them to launch their own PC gaming consoles to compete with Microsoft and Sony.
Now, it has just been acquired and it has given such a big gift to its fans. It's awesome!
But when WeChat was expanding its territory with great momentum, it encountered an unprecedented blow on another battlefield that Yang Huan attached great importance to.
