Lu Zixin looked at his parents for help. Lu Yue said, "Lu Zixin has a good job now. Besides, civil servants are not as popular as before. He still has to rely on himself."
Uncle nodded and said, "That makes sense. It's good to do business now. Look at Lu Jun. He's doing better than most college students and graduate students, right? "
"Lu Zixin, you might as well come back and help your brother. Having a relative to take care of you is better than working outside for ten years! "Uncle looked at Lu Jun and said," Are you short of people? "
"Yes!" Lu Jun said, "We are doing construction projects. Spring is the time when we are short of people! I just told Xinzi. Why would he go to work? If he comes back and works with me, I will definitely treat him well. "
Lu Zixin could only thank him and said, "Thank you, Brother Jun. I'll see how it goes."
Seeing this, Aunt was quite proud. Lu Jun had been criticized by his family when he dropped out of school. Now that his son had made a name for himself, it was Lu Zixin's turn.
She asked, "Lu Zixin, what university did you go to?"
Lu Zixin answered truthfully, "If you ask me, it's not those famous universities. It's better to start working early than studying there."
"Nowadays, cars and houses are all problems. If you don't have them, you won't even be interested in blind dates..."
She talked a lot. Lu Jun couldn't listen anymore and said, "Mom, eat!"
Lu Zixin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Shen Man had emphasized several times that Lu Zixin was doing quite well. However, because she didn't go into detail, they didn't pay much attention to it. They thought that she was forcefully supporting her son.
After eating and drinking, it was time to pay the bill and leave.
In the past, the family banquets were divided equally, but this year was a little different.
"How much did it cost?" Third Aunt asked the waiter.
"Hello, the total bill for your table is 12,000 yuan," the waiter replied politely.
"Twelve thousand? Why is it so much?" Third Aunt was surprised. "Let me see the list."
The waiter showed her the bill, and Third Aunt frowned. "The dishes here are a few times more expensive than the ones outside. And the wine, why is it a few thousand!"
She felt a little heartache. The cost of this table was too high. Even if she spread it out, it would cost 4,000 yuan.
Third Uncle coughed and said, "It's normal. This is the Ho Hsien Hotel, and it's the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's normal for it to be more expensive."
"May I ask who is paying the bill? Please follow me to the front desk! "The waitress asked politely.
As soon as she asked this question, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Third Uncle and Third Aunt were silent. The two of them thought that if it was in the past, it would have been fine. They would have split the bill equally.
But they had spent so much this year, and Lu Jun had made money. Should he be the one to pay for it?
Lu Jun was not so narrow-minded. Just as he was about to stand up and pay the bill, his girlfriend secretly pulled him aside and gave him a look that said, "Don't stand out."
On the other side, First Aunt also smiled and asked, "Let's do it like before this year. We'll split the bill equally?"
First Uncle did not say anything and pretended not to hear. Third Uncle also did not say anything and took out his phone to send a message.
Third Aunt was unhappy, but she said with a smile, "Lu Jun is doing so well this year. We should let our relatives bask in the glory! If you contribute a lot, we will contribute a little too. "
First Aunt did not avoid it and said, "Lu Jun and his wife are getting married soon. The expenses are not small, and there are still some construction funds that have not been collected. In two years, when the funds are loose, we will directly invite you. This year, let's do it like before. "
When Lu Zixin saw this scene, he understood why his father had reminded him in advance. When they made empty promises, everyone made it sound good. But when it came to real benefits, it was a different scene.
It could not be said that relatives were ungrateful for benefits. If there was trouble, everyone would still lend a helping hand. But under normal circumstances, everyone wanted to suffer less and gain more.
Shen Man could not stand it and said, "How about this, Lu Zixin, you go and pay first. We will calculate later."
Third Aunt saw that someone could not hold back and was secretly happy. She said, "That's it for now. We will calculate later!"
Lu Zixin quickly paid the bill. When he came out, Lu Jun pulled him and said, "My wife is stingy. This meal should be my treat. What's your account number? I will transfer the money to you. "
Lu Zixin waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. It's rare for me to come back. Just treat it as my treat."
"No, how can that be?" Lu Jun said, "You don't have much money. I think my mother will not mention this when she goes back. I will pay. "
"Lu Jun!" First Aunt called him and said, "What are you doing? Go and get the car! "
"Coming!" Lu Jun responded and whispered to Lu Zixin, "Remember to send me your account number!"
They walked to the entrance of the hotel and happened to see a few people who had just parked their car and were walking in.
Lu Jun was surprised. First Aunt asked, "What's wrong?"
"I saw a big boss. I have to go and greet him," Lu Jun said.
First Uncle was a little impatient and said, "Just enjoy the New Year. We are still waiting for you to drive us back. Can't you greet him after the New Year?"
"No!" Lu Jun said, "This big boss is not simple."
He pointed and said, "That CEO Jia is the chairman of Baijia Real Estate! The Hundred Delicacies Plaza in our county was built by him. He invested hundreds of millions. If we can build a relationship with him, our construction team will not have to worry about business in the future! "
After he said that, First Uncle thought and nodded, "So that's how it is. We have to go and greet him. Go ahead, we will wait."
Before Lu Jun left, Third Uncle said, "Eh? I know the people beside him! Isn't the one on the left the county secretary? The one beside him is Mayor Tang! Last month, during our unit's meeting, we studied Mayor Tang's speech! "
Third Aunt said in surprise, "H County Secretary and Mayor Tang are eating together. That big boss is really amazing! Lu Jun actually knows such a person. It's really different! "
"Wait for me for a while. I will go and greet him," Lu Jun said. He tidied his clothes and walked over.
At this time, Jia Hai was chatting cheerfully with the county secretary of He Xian and the mayor of this city. Baijia Real Estate had a big investment project in He County this year. They were also taking advantage of the Lunar New Year to discuss it.
Lu Zixin was surprised to see Jia Hai. Jia Hai had just called to say that he was going to He County this morning, and now they were meeting here. Thinking about it, it made sense. He County was only so big. If Jia Hai wanted to stay, the best place to stay would be the He County Hotel.
Lu Jun went up to them and smiled. He lowered his head and greeted, "Mayor Tang, Secretary Chen Shu, CEO Jia, Happy New Year!"
The three of them were stunned when they saw him, but they replied, "Happy New Year."
Jia Hai smiled and said, "I am old and tend to forget things. Who is this?" He did not remember Lu Jun at all.
As for Mayor Tang and Secretary Chen Shu, they did not know Lu Jun at all.
Lu Jun was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said, "I am Xiao Lu Jun. I am the one who does engineering in He County. Last year, our engineering team also booked a project for Baijia Plaza. "
"Oh, it's you!" Jia Hai said, but he still did not have any impression of him. There were many people who did engineering. Lu Jun was just a small figure in a county engineering team. How could he remember him?
He County's Secretary Chen Shu frowned slightly. He glanced at Lu Jun, signaling him to get out of the way.
