Chapter 342 Master Cao, You Want More Uncles
After a bumpy ride along the green hills and clear waters, Jiang Qin arrived at the ordinary home of Young Master Cao, a typical Chinese courtyard-style villa area.
This villa is bigger than He Yijun's house and smaller than the little rich woman's, but the environment is particularly elegant. After entering the archway, you can see a small-leaf maple tree not much taller than a person. The top is fiery red, the middle is golden, and the bottom is still a little old green.
Young Master Cao said that this is called the Golden Spring, which means a lot of money.
"Awesome! No wonder I smelled wealth as soon as I walked in."
Jiang Qin followed while clapping as he walked through the corridor, around the yard and came to the front door of the courtyard, where he discovered a pair of wooden couplets on both sides of the wall facing the door, painted in gold on a black background, which read: "North and south travel thousands of miles carrying the spring breeze, east and west galloping with ease bringing smiles into thousands of homes."
Jiang Qin nodded, guessing that Lao Cao's family should be in the transportation business. Otherwise, this couplet would look out of place in the front reception area.
"Old Jiang, please take some pictures." Cao Guangyu suddenly pointed to his yard.
Jiang Qin felt a headache after hearing this: "You are trying to show off, right? To be honest, I have seen bigger and better ones."
"I wanted you to post it on your social media account after you finish taking the photos, saying that you're visiting Master Cao's house on the 11th or something like that. Old Ren and Old Zhou haven't seen my yard yet, and neither have the people in my class!"
“No.”
"Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!" Cao Guangyu frowned and glared.
Jiang Qin thinks Lao Cao is really weird. He is obviously a genuine second-generation rich man, but he has to rack his brains to prove that he is a second-generation rich man. The key is that he doesn't look like one at all.
A real rich second generation, 10% funny. A real rich second generation wants to pretend to be a rich second generation, 100% funny. A real rich second generation wants to pretend to be a rich second generation but can't even act like one, 100000% funny.
"Brother Jiang, please include me in the video, otherwise everyone won't know which Young Master Cao's family is so rich."
"Get lost! Your looks don't deserve to be in my photo album." Jiang Qin spat at him while standing on the steps of the corridor.
Cao Guangyu looked unconvinced: "I am not qualified with my looks? Then who is qualified? Daniel Wu?"
Jiang Qin chuckled and opened his photo album, which was full of photos of Feng Nanshu.
Some are reading novels in the library, some are opening their mouths to beg for food while eating, some are listening attentively in class, some are sitting obediently in the boss chair in Room 208, some are running forward, and some are eating dumplings foolishly on New Year's Eve.
The most recent one was on the day of the welcome party, when she appeared in a white gauze dress, looking like an angel.
Jiang Qin was still using the second-hand Nokia that his father had discarded. The pixel was not very high, but even the blurry pixels could not hinder the radiance of its stunning beauty.
"Look, what qualifications do you have to enter my photo album?"
Cao Guangyu glanced at him and asked, "Are you showing off your affection?"
Jiang Qin turned off his phone: "I am just used to recording the most beautiful moments in life. It doesn't matter who I take pictures of."
"So all the beautiful moments in your life are related to Feng Nanshu?"
"I'll hit you in the mouth!"
Cao Guangyu pursed his lips and thought to himself that this dog Jiang was always like this. If he couldn't win an argument, he would threaten with force. He was a real reckless man.
After taking the photos, the group of four entered the Cao family's living room and met Cao Guangyu's parents.
Cao Guangyu's mother was not a beautiful woman and had short hair, but her face was very friendly and did not make people feel distant.
Cao Guangyu's father is also an ordinary person, about 1.7 meters tall, a little bald, and his Mandarin is not very standard.
But without exception, they were all very enthusiastic. As soon as they saw Jiang Qin, they immediately shook hands and greeted them, and asked if they were tired from the journey.
Jiang Qin also quickly called them uncle and aunt, and handed over the wine and tea he had bought on the way. He was as polite as a junior visiting relatives, answering whatever was asked and was very sweet-mouthed.
People treat you as their son's friend and even prepare meals at home. Jiang Qin feels that even though he is actually forty years old and has a certain status, he still has to show enough courtesy and respect.
Doing business depends on your face, making friends depends on your heart, the two cannot be confused.
No matter how much money a person places on life, it is impossible that life is only about interests.
"Jiang Qin, where are you from?"
"Uncle, I'm from Jeju."
"Oh, Jeju, what a great place. I went to Jeju when I was young and doing transportation. The people there are very welcoming."
After saying this, Father Cao looked at Sun Zhi and Deng Yuan behind Jiang Qin and said, "Are these two also your classmates? This male classmate... looks a bit mature."
Sun Zhi touched his face and said, "Uncle, I am a graduate student."
"Okay, okay, you are all highly educated people, but I am not that good. I only went to junior high school. Stop standing there and take your seats. The food is ready."
Cao Guangyu's nanny prepared a table of very sumptuous home-cooked meals for them tonight. It was home-cooked, but the taste was very good, and the portions were large and filling. It was much better than the business banquet they had at the Kempinski Hotel in the past few days.
Cao's mother's catchphrase is "Eat more", and Cao's father's catchphrase is "Come to Jiangqin, let's go together". It's very simple, but full of warmth, which makes Jiangqin feel a little homesick.
However, as they drank, Father Cao and Jiang Qin started talking about business.
To Cao's father's surprise, Jiang Qin's understanding of the business completely exceeded the limits of what he could understand at his age. There were many things that the two of them understood tacitly without having to say them too clearly.
For example, Jiang Qin has some unique insights into the unspoken rules of certain industries, some operational methods, and efficient management methods for employees.
Most importantly, Jiang Qin has many insights into the future development trends of the transportation industry, which coincide with some of the things that Cao's father has been thinking about recently.
"What the university teaches is really professional. How come my Xiaoyu doesn't know anything and just plays with the computer every day? Does he skip classes every day in school?"
Cao Guangyu chewed on a bone: "?"
After lunch, Jiang Qin originally planned to say goodbye and return to the hotel to rest, but Father Cao was a little addicted to chatting and insisted on holding Jiang Qin and not letting him leave. He wanted to take them around Hangzhou and chat as they walked.
Dad Cao has a stretched Lincoln and a driver. It only takes a word for him to take a ride and even the route is clearly arranged.
"When I was young, I was engaged in long-distance transportation. Around the 1990s, I established my own transportation fleet, and later I established my own logistics company step by step."
"I worked day and night, so much so that now I feel sick when I see a steering wheel, so I hired a driver."
"But I was used to driving a big truck and couldn't accept the small space, so I changed to a long truck later."
Jiang Qin nodded, and could vaguely imagine what Cao's father was going through at the time.
Because after the Southern Tour Speech, many people took the opportunity to start doing business. The market at that time was in a state of disrepair and basically you could make a fortune doing anything. But the fact that it has been able to continue to thrive until now shows that Father Cao is very capable.
It is precisely because Father Cao started from scratch and experienced hardships that he was very strict in educating Cao Guangyu. He did not over-pamper him, but instead acted like a tiger dad.
If the follow-up industries of Wanzhong and Pintuan can be set up, we can cooperate with Cao Ba.
After a tour of the West Lake and Lingyin Temple, it was already evening when we returned to Cao's house. Mother Cao had prepared a table of food and even the wine.
Jiang Qin and Cao's father continued to chat about business matters, and they became more and more excited. In the end, even Sun Zhi couldn't help but join in the conversation.
When he was young, he worked as a lecturer on health products. His chivalrous spirit is very similar to that of Cao's father, and he responds to conversations just right, making people feel warm and at ease.
Unfortunately, Cao Guangyu didn't understand a word, and his father kept asking him why he didn't learn anything in college, which made him feel powerless to argue.
Dad, you got the wrong person, didn't you? Jiang Qin is the one who skips classes!
But Young Master Cao couldn't refute it, because Lao Jiang's business experience was acquired through practice. Even if he had thoroughly studied all the textbooks in four years of college, he could not have reached Jiang Qin's level.
There is a saying that goes, "What you learn from books is always shallow, you must practice it yourself to truly understand it."
In order to avoid being cueed and also not wanting Old Jiang to show off in front of him by portraying someone else's child, Cao Guangyu simply finished his meal and went back to his bedroom to play a game of CF.
After playing a few rounds, Cao Guangyu calculated the time and felt that it was time to end, so he got up and went downstairs, where he met Deng Yuan, who was also unable to get a word in.
"They...aren't they finished yet? How long has it been?"
Deng Yuan pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Master Cao, do you mind that your roommate is your uncle?"
Cao Guangyu was stunned for a moment, his mind was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
"I just went over to deliver some wine, and I heard from your father that he wants to become sworn brothers with our boss, and he wants to be included in the family tree. You shouldn't mind that too much, right?"
"Fuck, Jiang Qin is a dog!"
Cao Guangyu immediately rushed down the stairs and quickly reached the restaurant. He found that Jiang Qin and his father were already drunk and were about to kneel down and kowtow in front of the Guan Erye statue at home.
Sun Zhi was still laughing beside them, just like a witness.
Three minutes later, Master Cao, who was ordinary, finally pulled his father and roommate apart with great effort. He was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat and thought to himself, who in my family understands me? I almost got an uncle, and he’s my roommate, and he’s the most stupid one among my roommates. It’s really terrible! "Jiang Qin, you’re such a bastard. You actually want to become sworn brothers with my dad!"
Jiang Qin was a little drunk. He lay on the sofa and stroked his hair. "This is my first time at your house, and I didn't bring any decent gifts. I felt bad, so I wanted to give you an uncle."
Cao Guangyu had the urge to strangle Jiang Qin to death: "Old Jiang, your family is in Jeju, right? I'll come to visit you during the winter vacation this year!"
"what ever."
Jiang Qin burped. "I still don't understand. You said that it has become a tradition for people to worship Guan Gong's statue when they swore brotherhood. But who did Liu, Guan and Zhang worship when they swore brotherhood in Taoyuan? They couldn't have worshipped Guan Gong's statue, right?"
