chapter 6 so related

When we arrived at the Qiancheng City Hotel, there was a pianist playing the piano, a beautiful singer singing English songs, and a musical rainbow fountain in the center of the hall, showing elegance everywhere.

At the table by the window, people were drinking and drinking. The relatives of the Zhou Family family were chatting and laughing happily. The women were all wearing gold and silver, looking extremely luxurious.

Even the smell of high-end perfume on their bodies made Abigail Zhou feel inferior.

William Wang and Abigail Zhou walked over, and Abigail Zhou greeted the Old Master with a smile: "Grandpa."

For a moment, the whole place fell silent.

All the relatives looked at Abigail Zhou, but William Wang was ignored by them.

Old Master Zhou was drinking with a dark face. He didn't even look at Abigail Zhou, but just snorted in his nostrils: "Yeah."

Old Master Zhou started from scratch, and after many years of hard work, the Zhou Family became a third-rate family in Qiancheng City and gained a certain social status.

But it is a pity that the eldest son Joshua Zhou is not capable enough, and the grandson Andrew Zhou is also difficult to achieve.

On the contrary, the second daughter Lily Zhou was good at management, turned the tide, rescued the company from the brink of bankruptcy, and led the company to glory.

Even so, the Old Master still favors boys over girls. He doesn't like his second daughter, Lily Zhou, and he doesn't like his granddaughter , Abigail Zhou.

When Lily Zhou was alive, the Old Master was still a bit hidden and could do some face-saving work.

Lily Zhou has been dead for more than half a year now, and the Old Master is too lazy to even do superficial things.

The atmosphere was silent. Abigail Zhou blushed and suddenly regretted coming to the banquet.

"Who asked this Jinx (referring to a person or thing that brings bad luck) to come? It's really disgusting."

Aunt Layla Li put down her chopsticks with a bang, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"It only took half a year to bring the family clothing store to the verge of bankruptcy. Cousin, you are really good at it. Your whole family is indeed a model of prodigality." Cousin Andrew Zhou said in a strange tone.

"Dad, I asked Zhou Ya to come. After all, we are a family."

Uncle Joshua Zhou smiled, then looked at Abigail Zhou coldly: "What on earth are you doing? The dinner starts at 5:30, and you didn't come until 6:30? Are you asking a whole family to wait for you?"

"I..."Abigail Zhou felt a little aggrieved. She immediately understood that she had been tricked by her uncle. It was her uncle who deliberately told the wrong time for the banquet. He was deliberately trying to embarrass herself.

But she didn't want to explain, because no one would believe her, and they would also say that she framed her uncle, which would only bring humiliation to herself.

The Old Master frowned and said with some displeasure: "Since we are here, let's eat something together. But there is no room at this table. You can pick up your own food and eat standing next to it."

Tears of humiliation rolled in Abigail Zhou eyes, and she suddenly felt chilled.

Could it be that he was the garbage picked up from the trash can on the roadside? Why did grandpa do this to him?

Zhou Ya is a proud girl. If the property rights of the clothing store were not owned by her family and controlled by others, she would really want to leave.

"My Third Sister has lost weight recently and has no habit of eating dinner. I'm a little hungry, so you're welcome."

Wang Chao picked up a large soup bowl and began to pick up the vegetables without ceremony.

In such a high-end place, the atmosphere and mood are all about eating. There are not many dishes, but William Wang almost wiped them all.

Most of the relatives looked ugly, and they all had the urge to curse. Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?

Abigail Zhou didn't say anything. She stared blankly at William Wang who was devouring his food, and something suddenly touched her heart.

The relatives of the Zhou Family family were indifferent, and in the end, the person who could help him out was William Wang, his cheap brother who was not related by blood.

In fact, Abigail Zhou didn't want to bring Wang Chao here, but she was just a weak girl. Wang Chao was tall and handsome, so she could hold up the scene anyway.

"Cousin, you lost three million in half a year. You've become like that, and you actually have a pretty boy at home like your mother. Could it be that William Wang service makes you comfortable?" Cousin Andrew Zhou said angrily.

Snapped!

When the voice fell, Andrew Zhou eyes blurred, and a big soup bowl appeared on his face.

Rice and various ingredients covered Andrew Zhou face, red, green, sour and spicy, very beautiful.

"Sorry, I don't have a stool to sit on, and the bowl is too slippery, so I couldn't hold it steady. Cousin, are you okay?"

William Wang hurried over and accidentally dropped the paper cup of drink on the table, making Andrew Zhou pants wet.

Andrew Zhou couldn't help laughing when she saw Abigail Zhou embarrassing scene. She wanted to laugh for no reason, but she could only hold it back.

"William Wang, you bastard, I'll kill you!"

Andrew Zhou became angry and grabbed the fruit knife on the table.

"That's enough, everyone, sit down!"The Old Master scolded with a sullen face, and everyone became quiet.

Andrew Zhou to the car and changed his clothes. He looked at William Wang resentfully, his eyes almost bursting with flames.

William Wang turned a blind eye and continued to eat. Such high-end ingredients could not be wasted.

After William Wang made such a fuss, the wine table became a mess and everyone lost their appetite.

Abigail Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This way, she no longer had to carry the food to avoid further humiliation.

"Now that everyone is here, let me get down to business. Nowadays, real estate across the country seems to be prosperous, but it is a big city and has little to do with small cities like our Qiancheng City. Business is not doing well this year. The entire Qiancheng City The competition in the building materials market is fierce, our company’s building materials cannot be sold at all, and no one is willing to continue investing.”

After glancing at everyone, his uncle Joshua Zhou coughed dryly and said: "After the board of directors meeting, it was decided to sell the land purchased by the family a few years ago to postpone the financial crisis and concentrate on developing technology business, focusing on the Internet field."

Abigail Zhou was a little uneasy. She seemed to understand why her uncle asked her to come to the banquet.

"The overall economic situation this year is not good, and the Internet market is also sluggish." A discordant voice came with the wind.

Everyone's eyes fell on William Wang.

"You're a freeloader of trash, what do you know?"Andrew Zhou shouted angrily.

"William Wang, don't talk nonsense!"Abigail Zhou face changed slightly, fearing that William Wang would cause trouble again.

"This kid is not talking nonsense. The economic situation has not been very good in recent years, and it is not easy to do anything."

Uncle Joshua Zhou waved his hand and said somewhat proudly: "But I have already contacted the sponsor. It is a well-known local company - Blue Sky Construction."

puff!

William Wang almost spit out the drink in his mouth. He thought to himself, could this be God's will? Such a coincidence?

Thanks to the Zhou Family extensive local connections, don't they know that Blue Sky Construction is declining and is on its last legs?

But this is actually not surprising. In this era, 4G has not yet been fully popularized. The Internet is not prosperous in small cities. Internet cafes are still the mainstream place for young people to surf the Internet.

In such an era with limited information, the internal crisis of Blue Sky Construction is naturally unknown to ordinary people.

"William Wang , what's your expression? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Manager Henry Li of Blue Sky Construction is the father of my brother Robert Li."

Cousin Andrew Zhou sneered: "My dad said that when the clothing store is sold, the family will use the money to develop games, and I will be the person in charge."

What!

Abigail Zhou expression finally changed, and her tone was trembling: "Uncle, my family has a lot of land, so you don't care about my little shabby shop, right? I finally got a loan of 3 million, and the business deficit has been filled, without causing any loss to the family. It’s money.”

Although this clothing store is small, it is where Abigail Zhou grew up.

She remembers that her grandfather looked down on her mother when she was a child. Her mother was sewing clothes alone in a clothing store, and Abigail Zhou would do her homework on the small bench. This store carried the entire childhood of the five sisters and also placed her memory of her mother.

But now, my uncle actually wants to sell this land?

"This is my decision and has nothing to do with your uncle. Personal interests are insignificant in the face of the overall interests of the family."

Old Master Zhou's cold voice sounded: "You have to repay the 3 million yourself, and the clothing store family will take it back. You and your brother can go home first. We have to continue the meeting, which involves some business secrets, which is not convenient."

Just left like this?

You let me come here to be humiliated, and you want to take away everything from my family?

not very convenient?

Am I an outsider? Do I have to be excluded from the Zhou Enterprises Group, which my mother devoted her whole life to?

Tears of humiliation and sadness slowly fell from the corners of Abigail Zhou's eyes.
