Half an hour later.
At the Eight Immortals Restaurant near the Jiangchi Community.
This was an old-fashioned restaurant in Qingyun City. The dishes were all very distinctive and claimed to be the masters of the eight major dishes.
Lin Yin and Zhang Qimo arrived on time and drove to the restaurant.
Wu Zheng parked the car in the parking lot and got out of the car.
"Alas, my parents are too vain. They knew that Uncle Li and his family moved into a bridal chamber, and their daughter found a capable boyfriend. They insisted on calling me and asking me to drive the car here." Zhang Qimo said with a sad look, as if she was not very concerned about the dinner.
She didn't understand what her parents were thinking.
Although Uncle Li's family and his own family had been neighbors for more than ten years, they were old acquaintances. However, since his father was kicked out of the board of directors by his eldest uncle and third uncle a few years ago, his situation had become bleak. Uncle Li's family was no longer enthusiastic and even ridiculed him many times.
After experiencing the fickleness of the world, his parents were still going to eat at Uncle Li's house?
"It's very normal. Now that you've become successful, your parents also want to win back some face," Lin Yin said.
"I don't understand how they thought of it. Alas, in short, I'm so annoyed! We have to face a group of hypocritical people again," Zhang Qimo said helplessly.
Lin Yin smiled and did not speak.
He knew something about Uncle Li's family downstairs.
He was a very snobbish person, but this was human nature. There was nothing to say.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
The couple was talking to two middle-aged men and women.
"Hey, is it Qimo? Is this your car? It's not bad. It costs about 500,000 yuan." A middle-aged woman came over and looked at Zhang Qimo's car.
"Qimo, I heard from your parents that you were promoted to director in the group? Is it true?" A middle-aged man beside the woman asked doubtfully.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Liu." Zhang Qimo didn't care about the sarcastic words and greeted them politely.
"Hey, Qimo, are you still living with Lin Yin?" Li Zhen said casually and glanced at Lin Yin.
Lu Yahui quickly said, "What do you mean by living with her? Qimo is now the director of the group. Lin Yin works for her assistant."
"Oh? Assistant." Li Zhen shook his head and pointed to Jiang Shan. "Men should have their own career and follow a woman to do things. What does it look like?"
Lu Yahui didn't say anything and glared at Lin Yin. She seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lin Yin's coming to the dinner party.
"Doo!"
At this moment, an Audi A8 full of business atmosphere drove over and started the horn.
A driver in a suit opened the back door, and a fashionable young man and woman came out.
"Hey, Lan'er and Fang Ping are here," Li Zhen said with a smile. He glanced at Lu Yahui and her husband with a proud look. "Let me introduce them to you. This is Lan'er's boyfriend, Fang Ping. He is the general manager of a large real estate company in the northern part of the city. He came back from studying abroad! He is a brilliant student!"
"My Lan'er has found a good partner. Did you see this car? Fang Ping bought it. It's an Audi A8! It's much more expensive than the BMW 5 line," Li Zhen said, showing off. "Fang Ping also said that he had a new car, so I drove this car. Mr. Zhang, you used to tell me that Qimo was the director of the group. How could she be so powerful? Why didn't the group give her a high-end car?"
The faces of Lu Ya and her husband were a little ugly. Just now, they had been talking about how powerful their daughter Qimo was in front of their old neighbor, Li Zhen. However, as soon as they got in the car, they were defeated.
"Nice to meet you."
A young man wearing glasses and a famous brand suit walked over slowly. Facing Zhang Qimo and her family, he held his head high and looked very arrogant.
"Uncle, Auntie, let's go up and have dinner," Fang Ping said lightly. It seemed that he was not interested in dealing with Zhang Qimo's family.
"Okay, let's go up for dinner," Li Zhen said with a smile.
Li Zhen's family went upstairs first.
"Qimo, why did you bring Lin Yin here when I asked you to come here to give us face?" Lu Yahui said with disdain, "He is the joke of our family! He is a joke for others! Look at how decent other people's son-in-law is."
Zhang Qimo said, "I didn't cook at home, so I asked Lin Yin to come and have a meal with us."
"Oh, why don't you just let him eat lunch outside?" Lu Yahui looked extremely dissatisfied and said, "Lin Yin, you can deal with dinner by yourself. Don't follow him, lest you let Li Zhen laugh at you again."
"Forget it. They're already here and have already come to greet us. Won't it be more ridiculous if they leave?" Zhang Xiufeng said helplessly, "Let's go upstairs."
It wasn't easy for him to have a chance to show off his daughter's achievements in front of an old acquaintance, but his plan was disrupted by Lin Yin.
Lin Yin didn't say anything and followed Zhang Qimo and her family to the restaurant.
In VIP room No. 8 on the second floor.
The dishes and wine had been served. There were ten big dishes and two bottles of Maotai. Li Zhen and his family had already taken their seats.
Lin Yin sat down quietly.
"Qimo, we haven't seen each other for several years. I have been working outside these years. I heard that you are married?" Li Lan, Li Zhen's daughter, asked curiously.
Li Lan's skin was white and beautiful, and he looked a little beautiful. His dressing was very fashionable.
"Qimo isn't married," Li Zhen said with a smile. "She hired a son-in-law. Look, this is the one next to her."
"Ah? A live-in son-in-law?" Li Lan was a little surprised and looked at Lin Yin.
Lin Yin had a delicate appearance, and his eyes looked particularly intelligent. Apart from this, he was ordinary and ordinary. He didn't have anything to show off in his clothes. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt from a stall. There was not a single decent watch on him.
This was a bumpkin.
Li Lan looked at Lin Yin with disdain.
"Qimo, what does your husband Lin Yin do?" Li Lan asked.
"It's a barbecue stall. I've heard that it's for Qimo as an assistant," Li Zhen said with a sneer.
"Oh."
"Oh," Li Lan said with a proud look. He thought to himself, "It turns out that he is a man who likes to live off his lover." Thinking about it, he found that his boyfriend was much better than Zhang Qimo.
"Mr. Zhang, we've been neighbors for seven or eight years. I'm going to move this time. Come, let's have a drink." Li Zhen raised his glass and said proudly.
"To be honest, Mr. Zhang, this Jiangchi district is too shabby. How can it be a place for people to live? You should find a way to buy a new house." Li Zhen said carelessly, "Isn't it a joke to live in this place? It's a shame for your relatives and friends to come and visit your relatives."
"Ahem, ahem." Lu Yahui coughed twice and changed the subject. "Old Li, have you seen the news recently? My dear Qimo is on the major newspapers. A piece of jewelry designed two days ago was sold at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan."
