Chapter 342 Master Cao, You Want More Uncles
After a bumpy ride along the green mountains and clear waters, Jiang Qin arrived at Master Cao's home, a typical Chinese courtyard-style villa area.
This villa is bigger than He Yijun's and smaller than the little rich woman's, but the environment is particularly elegant. After entering the archway, you can see a small-leaf maple tree that is not much taller than a person. The top is fiery red, the middle is golden, and the bottom is still a little old green.
Master Cao said this is called the Golden Flowing Spring, which means a lot of money.
"Awesome, no wonder I smelled the smell of wealth as soon as I entered the door."
Jiang Qin followed him through the corridor while clapping, bypassed the yard and came to the front door of the courtyard. He found a pair of wooden couplets on both sides of the wall facing the door, with a black background and gold paint, which read "North and South travel with spring breeze for thousands of miles, East and West gallop lightly into thousands of homes with smiles."
Jiang Qin nodded, guessing that Lao Cao's family should be in the transportation business. Otherwise, this couplet would look awkward in the front yard.
"Lao Jiang, take some photos." Cao Guangyu suddenly pointed to his yard.
After hearing this, Jiang Qin felt a headache: "You are pretending to be cool, right? To be honest, I have seen bigger and better ones."
"I want you to post it on your space after taking the photos, saying that you are visiting Master Cao's house on the 11th. Lao Ren and Lao Zhou have not seen my yard, and no one in our class has seen it either!"
"No photos."
"Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!" Cao Guangyu frowned and glared.
Jiang Qin felt that Lao Cao was really a weirdo. He was obviously a genuine second-generation rich man, but he had to rack his brains to prove that he was a second-generation rich man. The key is that he doesn't look like one at all.
Real rich second generation, 10% funny, real rich second generation wants to pretend to be rich second generation, 100% funny, real rich second generation wants to pretend to be rich second generation but can't even act like one, 100000% funny.
"Brother Jiang, take my picture, otherwise people won't know which young master Cao's family is so rich."
"Get lost, your looks don't qualify to be in my photo album." Jiang Qin spit at him while standing on the steps of the corridor.
Cao Guangyu looked unconvinced: "My looks don't qualify? Then who can qualify? Daniel Wu?"
Jiang Qin chuckled and opened his photo album, which was full of photos of Feng Nanshu.
Some were reading novels in the library, some opened their mouths to be fed while eating, some listened carefully in class, some sat obediently in the boss chair in 208, some ran forward, and some foolishly ate dumplings on New Year's Eve.
The most recent one was the day of the welcome party, when she appeared like a fairy in a white gauze dress.
Jiang Qin still used the second-hand Nokia that his father had discarded. The pixels were not very high, but even the blurred pixels could not stop the radiance of her beauty.
"Look, what qualifications do you have to enter my photo album?"
Cao Guangyu glanced at him: "Are you showing off your affection?"
Jiang Qin turned off his phone: "I'm just used to recording the most beautiful moments in life, and it has nothing to do with who I take pictures of."
"So all the beautiful moments in your life are related to Feng Nanshu?"
"I'll slap you in the mouth!"
Cao Guangyu pursed his lips, thinking that Old Jiang was always like this. He would threaten with force when he couldn't win the argument. He was just a reckless man.
After taking the photos, the four of them entered the living room of the Cao family and met Cao Guangyu's parents.
Cao Guangyu's mother is not a pretty woman, with short hair, but her face is very friendly and does not make people feel distant.
Cao Guangyu's father is also ordinary, about 1.7 meters tall, a little bald, and his Mandarin is not very standard.
But they are all very enthusiastic without exception. As soon as they see Jiang Qin, they shake hands and greet them, and ask if they are tired on the road.
Jiang Qin also hurriedly called uncle and aunt, and handed over the wine and tea bought on the road. He was polite like a junior visiting relatives, answering whatever questions were asked, and was very sweet.
People treat you as their son's friend and specially prepare meals at home. Jiang Qin feels that even if he is actually 40 years old and has a certain status, he still needs to show enough courtesy and respect.
Doing business depends on appearance, making friends depends on heart, and the two cannot be confused.
Even if a person's life is money-oriented, life cannot be only about interests.
"Where are you from, Jiang Qin?"
"Uncle, I'm from Jeju."
"Oh, Jeju, a great place. I went to Jeju when I was young and doing transportation. The people there are very friendly."
After saying that, Father Cao looked at Sun Zhi and Deng Yuan behind Jiang Qin: "Are these two also your classmates? This male classmate... looks a little mature."
Sun Zhi touched his face: "Uncle, I'm a graduate student."
"Okay, okay, you are all highly educated talents, but I can't. I only went to junior high school. Don't just stand there, come and sit down, the food is ready."
The nanny of Cao Guangyu's family prepared a very rich home-cooked meal for them tonight. It was home-cooked, but the taste was very good, and the quantity was large and filling, much better than the business banquet they had at the Kempinski Hotel these days.
One of Cao's mother's catchphrases is to eat more, and Cao's father's catchphrase is to come to Jiangqin, and we will go together. It is very simple, but full of warmth, which makes Jiangqin feel a little homesick.
However, as they drank, Cao's father and Jiang Qin began to talk about business.
To Cao's father's surprise, Jiang Qin's understanding of business completely exceeded the limit of what he could understand at his age. There were many things that the two of them didn't need to say too clearly, and they already had a tacit understanding.
For example, Jiang Qin had some unique insights into the unspoken rules of certain industries, some operating methods, and efficient management methods for employees.
Most importantly, Jiang Qin had many insights into the future development trends of the transportation industry, which coincided with some things Cao's father had been thinking about recently.
"What the university teaches is really professional. How come my Xiaoyu doesn't know anything and just plays with the computer every day? Does he skip classes every day in school?"
Cao Guangyu chewed on a bone: "?"
After lunch, Jiang Qin was going to say goodbye and go back to the hotel to rest, but Cao's father was a little addicted to chatting. He insisted on dragging Jiang Qin and not letting him go. He wanted to take them around Hangzhou and chat while walking.
Cao's father has an extended Lincoln and a driver. He can tell them to go around with just a word, and even the route is clearly arranged.
"When I was young, I was a long-distance transporter. It was probably in the 1990s. I established my own transport fleet and then gradually built my own logistics company."
"At that time, I worked day and night, so now I feel sick when I see the steering wheel, so I hired a driver."
"But I was used to driving a big truck and couldn't accept the narrow space, so I changed to a long truck later."
Jiang Qin nodded and could imagine the situation of Cao's father at that time.
Because after the end of the Southern Tour speech, many people took the opportunity to start business. At that time, the market was in ruins and basically anything could make a fortune, but it has been able to continue to thrive until now, which shows that Cao's father is very capable.
It is precisely because Cao's father started from scratch and suffered hardships that he was very strict in educating Cao Guangyu. He did not spoil him too much, but was a tiger father.
If the subsequent industries of Wanzhong and Pintuan can be established, they can cooperate with Cao's father.
After a tour of West Lake and Lingyin Temple, it was already evening when they returned to Cao's house. Mother Cao prepared a table of dishes and even prepared wine.
Jiang Qin and Cao's father continued to talk about business, and they became more and more excited. In the end, even Sun Zhi couldn't help but join in the conversation.
When he was young, he was a health care product lecturer. He had a lot in common with Cao's father in terms of the gangster spirit. He also answered the questions just right, which made people feel like spring breeze.
Unfortunately, Cao Guangyu didn't understand a word, and his father kept asking him why he didn't learn anything in college, which made him feel a little powerless to quibble.
Dad, did you recognize the wrong person? Jiang Qin is the king of skipping classes!
But Master Cao couldn't refute it, because Jiang's business experience was obtained through practice. Even if he chewed through all the textbooks in four years of college, he couldn't reach the level of Jiang Qin.
There is a saying that goes, "You will never know much if you learn from books, and you must practice it to know it well."
In order to avoid being called out, and not wanting Old Jiang to show off in front of him as someone else's child, Cao Guangyu showed off his skills after dinner and went back to his bedroom to play a game of CF.
After playing a few games, Cao Guangyu calculated the time and thought it was time to end, so he got up and went downstairs, and ended up meeting Deng Yuan, who also couldn't get a word in.
"They... haven't finished yet? How long has it been?"
Deng Yuan pursed her lips, hesitated for a while and then said: "Master Cao, do you mind that your roommate is your uncle?"
Cao Guangyu was stunned for a moment, his mind was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
"I just went to deliver wine, and heard from your father that he wants to become sworn brothers with our boss, and he wants to be included in the family tree. You shouldn't mind it too much, right?"
"Fuck, Jiang Qin is a dog!"
Cao Guangyu immediately rushed down the stairs, clattered to the restaurant in a few steps, and found that Jiang Qin and his father were already drunk and were about to kneel down in front of the Guan Erye at home to kowtow.
Sun Zhi was still laughing beside him, just like his mother was a witness.
Three minutes later, the ordinary Master Cao finally pulled his father and roommate apart with great effort. He was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat and thought to himself, who in my family understands me? I almost got an uncle, and he's my roommate, and he's the most fucking bastard among my roommates. It's really terrible! "Jiang Qin, you are such a jerk. You actually want to become sworn brothers with my dad!"
Jiang Qin was a little drunk. He lay on the sofa and stroked his hair: "This is my first time to your house. I didn't bring any decent gifts. I felt bad, so I wanted to give you an uncle."
Cao Guangyu had the urge to strangle Jiang Qin to death: "Old Jiang, your family is in Jeju, right? I will visit you during the winter vacation this year!"
"Whatever you want."
Jiang Qin burped: "I still don't understand it. You said that everyone swore to Guan Gong's statue as if it has become a tradition, but who did Liu, Guan and Zhang worship when they swore brotherhood in Taoyuan? You can't also worship Guan Gong's statue, right?"
