"Who can he know? He guards a bookstore all day, so he knows the beef soup maker next door."Fengxue Song said quickly: "I need Boyi to help you with this matter. If you need anything, just ask your cousin."

Sitting on the side, the third uncle, who was fat and more like a cook, said at this moment: "Feng Xue, don't force Boyi on this matter, the whole family, if you can help him, you will definitely help him, if you can't, then there's nothing you can do about it." .Didn’t Boyi just say that if you can’t sign a contract, that’s a problem with Xiaoyun’s company. If there is a problem, you have to find the reason from yourself first. Xiaoyun, is there any reason for you to say what Uncle San is saying?”

Inside and outside the words, there is an obvious sense of superiority.

In the past, Fengxue Song opened a clinic, and Zeming Ji was a university professor. It can be said that life is relatively prominent among many relatives.

As for the third uncle's family, they are all ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises, and they can barely be called a well-off family.

Chinese people always like to compare each other, and two strangers will cross eyes when they meet, let alone familiar relatives?

The third uncle and his wife always felt that Fengxue Song and his family were left behind financially, especially Qingyun Ji good grades in school, and she became the deputy director of the company at a young age, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until Boyi Song graduated and applied to be a lawyer in the legal department of Hongye Group that he really felt proud.

Especially now seeing Fengxue Song, who used to be domineering and domineering, begging his son for help there, the third uncle and his wife felt indescribably happy.

In the past, didn't you always act as the Big Brother at family gatherings, and everyone looked like you were looking at your subordinates? Why are you begging us now?

Qingyun Ji clenched her palms, took a deep breath, and said, "It makes sense."

In fact, it makes sense. If it was another occasion, another time, she would have left with her bag.

Originally, Qingyun Ji didn't intend to ask Boyi Song for help, it was Fengxue Song who knew that Boyi Song had joined Hongye Group as a lawyer, so he arranged the dinner.

Ji Qingyun can stay until now because she doesn't want her mother's painstaking efforts to go to waste.

But the "upstart" mentality of the third uncle's family really made her a little unbearable.

"That's right! Seek truth from facts. Only by correcting mistakes can we make progress." The third uncle looked cheerfully at Zhou Rui again, and said, "About this, I have to talk about Zhou Rui. Look at your cousin, although In the past, our family lived a normal life, but he was very competitive. He has always had good grades in school, and after graduation he applied for a big company like Hongye Group. With such a resume, he will be a proper barrister in the future! He is old, but he still guards a bookstore and does not think about making progress. How can this give Xiaoyun a happy life. These days, education is very important. I heard that there is no adult college entrance examination? Anyway, your bookstore doesn’t have much business. Read more books, if you pass the exam, you may be able to work in a small company, which is better than guarding a broken bookstore."

The third aunt ate melon seeds and said, "You are not embarrassing Zhou Rui. He graduated from junior high school and didn't even go to high school. How could he pass the exam by self-study. In my opinion, he should be down-to-earth. Anyway, Xiaoyun It’s okay now. Although the company is not as big as Hongye Group, at least it’s pretty good in Qingzhou.”

Hearing these two people singing the oboe, Qingyun Ji's hands tightened.

She couldn't tell that the third uncle and the third aunt wanted to vent all the grievances that had been suppressed before.

That ostentatious and proud expression made Qingyun Ji very angry.

Even Zeming Ji, who has always had a generous personality, looked unsightly. Although the Ji Family had a good life, they didn't treat any of their relatives badly. I usually help if I can, and I am very polite to anyone.

Why is it like this when you turn around and ask for help?

But for his daughter's career, he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart.

Fengxue Song has a straightforward temper. If the third uncle only talked about the size of the company, he would listen to it. But listening to the other party talking about Zhou Rui, Fengxue Song became even more angry.

If Zhou Rui can be promising, why would he need to be talked about by the third uncle?

From Fengxue Song point of view, everyone in his family is doing well, but this son-in-law is like a puddle of mud!

She slapped the table directly, and got angry at Zhou Rui: "Did you hear what your third uncle said, you need education and no education, you need ability and no ability, you just know how to eat and wait to die all day long, do you still look like a man! Xiaoyun is blind to marrying you!"

Startled by Fengxue Song's sudden anger, the third uncle quickly changed his tone and said, "Oh, Zhou Rui is still young, and the days to come will be long, maybe someday he will be promising."

"If he is promising, then I can go to heaven!"Fengxue Song said angrily.

But being so angry by her, the third uncle's family couldn't talk anymore. Zeming Ji hurriedly called the waiter and asked why the food hadn't been served yet.

After a while, the waiter said: "I'm really sorry, because there is a table of more important guests who ordered the VIP set meal and need to speed up the production, so the kitchen is a bit slow, please wait a moment. The manager said, When it’s time to check out, I’ll give you a 5% discount.”

The third uncle is not happy when he hears it, 15% off? To send beggars away!

"Why can I serve them first with the VIP package? Don't we eat food!" said the third uncle very dissatisfied.

The waiter had no choice but to patiently explain: "Our Tengwang Pavilion's VIP system is like this. The higher the level, the better and faster the service you will enjoy. Please understand."

"Isn't this a snobbery! It's too bullying!" The third aunt stood up immediately and said, "Let's go, if you don't eat here, you won't be able to eat anywhere!"

Fengxue Song vomited blood even more angrily. It was enough to hear that family showing off, but now they are doing some kind of VIP.

She yelled at the waiter angrily: "I don't care if you are VIP or not, call your boss here immediately! If you do business like this, I want to complain!"

Boyi Song pushed away the chair and walked over, took out a business card and shook it in front of the waiter, and said coldly: "I am a lawyer from the legal department of Hongye Group. It is against the management regulations of the catering industry that you treat consumers like this. Immediately Call your boss to apologize, or you will be shut down right away, believe it or not."

The waiter was stunned, a lawyer from Hongye Group?

She was a little nervous, and quickly said: "Please wait a moment, I will go and talk to the manager."

Seeing the back of the waiter running away quickly, Boyi Song showed a complacent and proud expression, and turned around and said, "Don't worry, if they dare to treat us unfairly, we will punish them immediately!"

The third uncle suddenly became elated, and said to Fengxue Song: "Don't worry, with Boyi here, they will definitely have to come and apologize every minute. Now who works in a restaurant, who dares to provoke a lawyer!"

Zhou Rui watched from the side, and couldn't help persuading: "It's actually a small matter, there's no need to make it too big, or we'd better eat at another restaurant."

"You are so useless that you are ridiculed every day! Just stay there and learn from other people's Boyi. Look at your worthless appearance!"Fengxue Song said angrily.

Zhou Rui wanted to say something, but was pulled aside by Qingyun Ji, and said in a low voice, "Stop talking, don't you see that Mom is angry?"

Of course Zhou Rui could see it, he just didn't feel that a little thing would cause a quarrel and affect the mood of eating.

Now that Qingyun Ji had spoken, he didn't bother to say any more. Just thinking about what happened just now, I asked, "Is your company's contract not going well?"

"Well, Hongye Group seems to be in contact with other companies. The director of the department doesn't even let us meet. He is very passive."Qingyun Ji looked worried. This signing is related to her future development. important. If it is done, it is equivalent to adding a heavy sum to the resume. If it is not done, the performance appraisal in the second half of the year is likely to be pulled down because of this.

"Can Boyi help?" Zhou Rui asked again.

"Maybe, I don't know."Qingyun Ji shook her head.

Boyi Song just graduated and applied for the legal department of Hongye Group as a trainee lawyer. It's hard to say whether he can be the director of other departments.

You know, in a big company like Hongye Group, the department director is almost as much as Qingyun Ji's company president.

But she has no other acquaintances in the Hongye Group, so she can only rely on Boyi Song to get the job done.

Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly mustered up his courage and said, "If it really doesn't work, maybe I can find a way. I know someone from Hongye Group, maybe he can help."

"Do you know people from Hongye Group?"Qingyun Ji was a little surprised, Zhou Rui stayed in the bookstore all day, how could he know people there? Soon she thought that maybe people from Hongye Group only met when they went to the bookstore to buy books.

Shaking her head, Ji Qingyun said, "Forget it."

In her opinion, the most Zhou Rui can know is an ordinary employee. Besides, if you go to a bookstore to buy a book, can you be considered an acquaintance if you meet each other once? Even if you really look for it, they may not be willing to help you.

Ever since she met Zhou Rui, Qingyun Ji had never seen the words "help others" written on him, so naturally she would not give her hope.

"But he..."

When Zhou Rui was about to speak again, several people had already walked by the door. One of them asked, "Which one is the Hongye Group's lawyer?"

Boyi Song puffed up his chest and walked out boldly: "I am!"

Zhou Rui turned his head to look, and saw a few men in neat suits standing at the door, each of them had an extraordinary demeanor.

Boyi Song was shouting proudly at others: "Who are you the boss? This kind of unfair treatment of consumers is strictly prohibited by the state. You must apologize to us today, otherwise, you will be sued immediately!"

Standing at the front, the tall man smiled, turned around and said to the other person, "Brother Liu, these young people under your command are quite energetic."

"The young man is getting a little angry, Mr. Xia, don't mind." The man behind him came out, came to Boyi Song, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you the company's lawyer? When did you join the job?"

When he saw the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Boyi Song was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale suddenly, and his forehead was sweating.

He recognized at a glance that this was the chief lawyer of the company's legal department, Jinghui Liu!
