Xiao Zheng did not expect the old principal's reaction to be so intense. Just a second ago, he was still smiling and tossing a pack of cigarettes to her, asking her to smoke first. In the next second, he actually spoke so viciously to his two sons …
On the other hand, Bai Yujiao, who was sitting beside him, was clearly gloating. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that her relationship with her parents was not as good as the old principal's.
As for Li Qin, the eldest daughter-in-law, when Bai Yujiao called out the old principal, she brought a cup of hot tea over and handed it to Xiao Zheng.
Of course, Xiao Zheng also knew that it wasn't because he had changed his opinion of him, but it was for his father-in-law to see.
Xiao Zheng knew the old principal's temper very well. If he liked someone, he was kind and amiable. If he didn't like someone, or rather, he didn't appreciate them. She never gave him a good attitude. Back then, if it wasn't for the fact that he had a bad temper and wasn't tactful enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the principal of Pearl High School for over twenty years. He should have entered the Ministry of Education long ago or even become a high-level politician.
In that era, the principal of a key high school in a municipality had a very promising political future.
The two men, whose ages added up to almost a hundred years old, were immediately put on the spot after being berated by the old principal. However, due to the old principal's authority, he still put down the chess in his hands. His gaze fell on Xiao Zheng. However, he did not get up from the beginning. He seemed to be going against the old principal.
"Dad. I'll help you cook. "Li Qin tried to smooth things over with a smile. "It's not like you don't know that Guodong and Jianjun are chess fans. When you play chess, you don't even need to eat, let alone chat with others. "
This was to give Bai Guodong and Bai Jianjun a way out. It eased the stiff atmosphere a little. It wasn't as explosive as before. The old principal didn't say anything else. He glared coldly at his two sons and returned to the kitchen with a grunt.
This father-son relationship was too stiff, wasn't it?
Xiao Zheng believed that the old principal's attitude was not just because the two of them ignored him. He must have his own conflicts. Otherwise, no matter how much the old principal liked him, how could he compare to his two sons?
Moreover, from the looks of it, the two of them weren't in dire straits at all. In fact, they were quite successful.
Then what kind of conflict did they have?
He didn't even like one of his sons?
After the old principal left, Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and smiled at the two elders. He said, "Hello, uncle."
The two of them nodded indifferently and did not say anything. They just quietly lit their cigarettes. He smoked slowly.
In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. Seeing this, Bai Yujiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Xiao Zheng is greeting him. Can't you speak? "
How infuriating!
Not giving Xiao Zheng face is equivalent to not giving me, Bai Yujiao face, right?
Fortunately, one of the two men was his father, and the other was his uncle. Otherwise, Bai Yujiao would not be so easy to talk to.
When Bai Guodong heard this, he skillfully flicked the ash off his cigarette. Pursing her lips, she said, "A woman should have some image. Don't make a fuss all day long. What a scandal! "
"Isn't it too late to teach me now? What were you doing earlier? "Bai Yujiao asked. He didn't give in at all.
First, she didn't want Xiao Zheng to be wronged. Second, she didn't have a good relationship with her parents. In addition, she spent the holidays at her grandparents' house all year round. She didn't have a deep relationship with them.
Now, she even ignored the man she brought back. Bai Yujiao couldn't swallow this anger.
"Yujiao, how can you talk to your father like that?" Bai Jianjun, who was wearing casual clothes, said in a deep voice.
Bai Yujiao pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Instead, she picked up a plate of melon seeds and slowly ate them.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence again. No one said anything, just doing their own things.
About five minutes later, the door suddenly opened.
A middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress walked into the room. She had the temperament of a shrewd businessman. Before Xiao Zheng got up to greet her, the middle-aged woman stared at Xiao Zheng with a smile and said, "You are the Xiao Zheng that Yujiao often mentions, right?"
"That's me." Xiao Zheng smiled reservedly. "Hello, Auntie Sun."
Before entering the room, Bai Yujiao briefly explained the situation at home. She was afraid that Xiao Zheng would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Xiao Zheng works in Yan Jing? Is he a colleague with Yujiao? "Auntie Sun was a little enthusiastic. She pulled Xiao Zheng to sit on the sofa and chat. However, her enthusiasm was obviously a little fake and pretentious. It revealed the calculation and testing of a businesswoman. How was she treating the man who brought her niece home? It was just a small scale negotiation.
"Yes. Yujiao and I are colleagues. When I first entered Xin Ao, I even worked for Yujiao for a period of time. "Xiao Zheng said honestly.
"Oh." Auntie Sun listened to Xiao Zheng's introduction. Her interest suddenly dropped. The enthusiasm on her face also slowly faded.
Worked for Bai Yujiao?
Security?
She didn't even like Bai Yujiao, the head of security. Not to mention a security guard who worked for Bai Yujiao.
Speaking of which, Auntie Sun was also very disappointed with Bai Yujiao. She was a good criminal police officer, but she didn't learn good things and went to work as a security guard. So what if she could earn a few hundred thousand a year? In a municipality like Yan Jing Pearl, even if she could earn a few million a year, she wouldn't be able to become an upper-class person. At most, she could be considered as a middle-class person. But if you had experience and achievements in the public security system. Not to mention, it shouldn't be difficult to become a divisional leader, right? Don't forget. Pearl was also a provincial city. Even a police station chief was a deputy divisional leader. Did she know how much social resources she could bring to the family? Relationship resources?
What a pity. She didn't want to take a good path and had to go all the way. Mud can't help a wall!
Of course, Auntie Sun also knew that Xiao Zheng and Bai Yujiao were both working in Xin Ao. As a businesswoman, she was very clear about the status and influence of Xin Ao in the business world of Hua Xia. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the number one young enterprise. After all, to be able to create a multinational corporation with political influence in less than ten years. That was also rare in Hua Xia.
Auntie Sun was a wily old fox. She could tell that Xiao Zheng was being modest when he introduced her and Bai Yujiao. Although she had worked for Bai Yujiao in the past. But now, she was at least on the same level as Bai Yujiao. Or even a little higher. But even so, Auntie Sun wasn't very interested. As long as it wasn't the head of the core department of Xin Ao, Auntie Sun didn't have much interest in making friends. Because most of her business was in Pearl City. Even if she wanted to cooperate with the Pearl City branch of Xin Ao, she would need to have a leader from the headquarters to coordinate. Otherwise, no matter how much you boast, you wouldn't be able to move Auntie Sun.
Ding, ding, ding.
Xiao Zheng's phone rang at the wrong time. He hurriedly apologized to Auntie Sun and took out his phone as he got up. Dong Jingli's name was written on the huge screen. Then he walked to the side to answer the phone.
And the moment Auntie Sun saw the name, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.
