Chapter Thirty-Four: Hao Furong
On the dinner table, there were several home-cooked dishes, all made by Zhao Yunlong himself. Among them was the red-braised carp that Zhao Xue usually loved to eat, which could also be considered one of Zhao Yunlong's signature dishes.
"Hehe, hubby, you're quite obedient today! You know, Old Zhao is usually a busy person and wouldn't easily go to the kitchen unless it's a special occasion!" Zhao Xue sat next to Zhang Heng, moving her chair close to him, and actively helped him with his food, giggling as she spoke.
Zhao Yunlong and Hao Furong, who was sitting next to him, exchanged a glance, with a hint of bitter smile at the corner of their mouths. No wonder people say that daughters are like spilled water, they've grown up so big, but when it comes to serving themselves food, they can still be counted on one hand! That crisp cry of 'husband' also made Old Zhao feel particularly uncomfortable in his heart.
At this moment, he especially wants to jump up, pointing at the face of that little boy opposite him, shouting loudly: My daughter is only 18 years old!
"Old Zhao, what are you looking at us for? You and Aunt Hao can eat too. Oh, I know, haha Old Zhao, you're savoring the flavor, come on, daughter, give him some too! Old Zhao worked hard today!" Zhao Xue said, getting up, curving her waist and sticking out her buttocks, giving Zhao Yunlong a piece of ribs, thinking for a moment also gave Hao Furong one. This is probably considered returning a favor! Who made this woman say so many good things about Zhang Heng today?!
The dining room of the Zhao family's mansion is very large, but the table for eating is a small one commonly used in ordinary people's homes. It was originally big, but later it was chopped up by Zhao Xue with a vegetable knife, saying that even the dishes were not reachable, which made her angry!
"Alright, alright, sit down quickly, Dad will handle it himself!" Zhao Yunlong was so happy that the corners of his mouth were stretched to his ears. Hao Furong's face also showed a faint joy, if she wasn't mistaken, Xue'er still called her "Auntie Hao" for the first time!
It's always someone else who gets called!
"Zhang Heng, huh? Not a bad name. How about we have a drink?" Zhao Yunlong looked at Zhang Heng with a more favorable gaze. At least there was someone who could keep his daughter in check, and that was not a bad choice. Although he still had some reservations, his daughter was already dating, which seemed too early to him. But since things had already come this far, he might as well just go along with it!
"Good!" Zhang Heng smiled and nodded.
Zhao Xue narrowed her eyes, stood up on her own initiative and said: "I'll go get you guys some wine." She twisted her little butt and trotted to Zhao Yunlong's wine cabinet! Letting the 'man' drink, of course he wouldn't drink the 10-yuan-per-bottle ordinary Er Guo Tou that the two had bought. Old Zhao's wine cabinet was full of good wine.
She was also thinking of sneaking back home to grab a few more bottles and use them as an excuse to show filial piety to her father-in-law.
Looking at Zhao Xue's back, Zhao Yunlong said softly: "I only have this precious daughter, so I don't want her to suffer any grievances in the future. Although I don't know how you two met, as a father, I can see that Snow has you in her heart and cares about you, and is willing to listen to your words!"
He paused and shook his head with a bitter smile, saying: "I can't control her, since you two are together now, Xue'er likes you, I don't want to stop you either, hope you'll treat her well in the future!"
"I will!" Zhang Heng nodded, if others' dads said so, he had to give them a promise too!
"That's good!" Zhao Yunlong didn't say anything threatening, he was a sensible person and knew it wasn't necessary. As for whether the two of them could grow old together in the future, that was something to be determined later, no one could see that far ahead. What if Wan Yixue got bored with him someday?
It's entirely possible with Xiao Yazi's personality!
"By the way, Xue'er is still a high school student now, and she will take the college entrance exam next summer. You also advise her to go back to school for two days, although it doesn't matter whether she goes to university or not. As her father, I still hope that in the future, she won't have any regrets!" Zhao Yunlong suddenly thought of something and said with a bitter smile.
From Zhao Yunlong's body, Zhang Heng somewhat felt what it means to be a father is not easy! I don't know if I have children in the future, will I also be like him, worried!
Zhao Xue rushed back with two bottles of Maotai, which looked quite old in their packaging. She took a look at Zhao Yunlong and then at Zhang Heng, but didn't notice anything unusual on either of their faces, so she felt relieved!
"I agree that you two are together now!" Zhao Yunlong shook his head, thinking to himself, "My daughter is really something... I should give her a tranquilizer pill, or else she might not even come back home in the future." "But from now on, you also have to promise me, listen to Zhang Heng's words and don't be as willful as before, do you understand?"
"What?" Zhao Xue put down her wine glass and looked at Zhang Heng with some surprise, asking: "Husband, did you give my father some kind of medicine?"
Zhang Heng rolled his eyes and ignored her.
Flying Grass Stage?
"This is a rare treasure of thirty years, Zhang Heng had only heard of it before, this is the first time seeing the real thing! Just this bottle of wine, I'm afraid it's worth tens of thousands of dollars?"
Zhao Xue and Hao Furong also had a few sips, leaving more than a bottle for Zhao Yunlong and Zhang Heng to drink. After the meal, there were no disputes, it was very casual, and Zhang Heng didn't hold back either, eating quite a lot of dishes. The culinary skills of the province's richest man are still pretty good, although they can't compare to those top-notch chefs, but absolutely better than Zhang Heng's dad's cooking!
"I'm so full!" Zhao Xue leaned back on the sofa, patting her little belly without any elegance, her pretty face flushed red. With a hint of intoxication, Little Snow was especially happy today, she never thought that her old dad would also have such a "thoughtful" moment, not only did he not stop her from interacting with Zhang Heng, but instead even asked her to listen to his words.
Before coming, she had actually made preparations for "war"... but none of them were used!
"Ah Heng, what's your plan next?" On the sofa, Zhao Yunlong and Zhang Heng sat facing each other, chatting about business!
Zhang Heng thought for a moment and smiled: "I plan to register a branch company in China first, recruit some talents! Let's set up the Huaxia Branch of Dream Technology first!"
To put it bluntly, now Mengxiang Technology is just a lone commander-in-chief, with no employees under him, but there is an essential difference between them and those shell companies and briefcase companies!
Zhao Yunlong nodded and said: "If there's anything you need help with, just tell me directly."
"That nephew is not polite at all!" Zhang Heng smiled, actually he was waiting for Zhao Yunlong to say that. Starting a company and whatnot, Zhang Heng didn't understand the first thing about it, let alone setting up a branch of Dream Technology in Huaxia. "Uncle, you also know that I just graduated not long ago, I don't have anyone available at hand!"
"Haha, actually, I have a very suitable candidate for you here. In terms of ability, there's nothing to say, it's just that I don't know if you dare to use him!" Zhao Yunlong smiled and turned his head towards Hao Furong, who was sitting on the side with a smile, listening to the two men talk.
"I'm really interested in Dream Technology!" Hao Furong smiled and nodded. If 'Dream Technology' invests, she will be fully capable of taking charge at the Huaxia Construction Branch Company!
