MTL - Little Madman’s Guide to Acting Good-Chapter 44

When the headlights swept in, a servant was already walking past the door.

Chen Qizhao removed his hand from the voice chat button, frowned slightly and looked at the car that turned into the garage, and saw two men coming out of the car. The middle-aged man wore more formal clothes, with a slightly cramped look on his more ordinary face. The boy standing next to him was still young, wearing fancy clothes, looking a little unruly.

The person who came was none other than the Chen family, that is, the younger brother of his father Chen Jianhong.

Chen Qizhao's current third uncle in name, the person next to the third uncle is not who, his cousin. The previous generation of the Chen family made a fortune, and the family relationship was not harmonious. After that, Mrs. Chen divided the family property among the brothers of the Chen family for their own development. However, the other brothers were mediocre. In the end, only Chen Jianhong seized the opportunity in his early years, and in one fell swoop, the Chen family group was established. to today's scale.

Some of them moved out of S City long ago, and some went abroad to develop, and basically lost contact.

Only the third uncle's family remained in S City.

Chen Qizhao doesn't have much memory of these people, or that these people are dispensable, his third uncle is a proper person to see the wind and the rudder, when the Chen family was brilliant, he was crowded in the group Dividends were distributed, and when the Chen family was down, he was also one of the first people to clear the relationship. When some property rights were in dispute, he came out to stir up the muddy water and took a piece of land in the suburbs.

Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper, came to guide him, and the two followed each other into the house.

Chen Qizhao was standing in the garden next to him and said nothing. He could probably guess what his good third uncle wanted to do today. It was nothing more than to give his son a chance, or to find his father Money for the project.

As he was thinking, the phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated, and then he remembered the news that Shen Yuhuai had not yet returned.

[-Zhao: I just accidentally pressed the wrong button. ]

[-Shen Yuhuai: Nothing, I thought something happened. ]

[-Zhao: Brother Huai will talk later, there are guests at home. ]

Shen Yuhuai: "It will be ready soon."

The aunt of the Shen family went home from vacation, and Shen Yuhuai always started the New Year's Eve dinner. Shen Xuelan was leaning against the wall, just about to see if there was anything else in the kitchen that could help, but out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of the mobile phone beside the cooking table, "I just saw you playing on your mobile phone, chatting with someone..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Yuhuai turned off the phone screen.

"Come and help." Shen Yuhuai said briefly.

Shen Xuelan glanced at his phone with a deep meaning, "Oh, here we go."

When Chen Qizhao returned to the villa, his father had already chatted with his third uncle.

Seems to notice his arrival, Uncle Chen immediately put a smile on his face, "Qizhao is here? I just heard your father say something about Feihong, this child is young and sometimes Ming's style back then, Li Yao, I have nothing to learn from your brother."

Cousin Chen Liyao was sitting next to him, he just responded briefly when he heard the words, his eyes were on Chen Qizhao and he quickly lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.

Chen Jianhong politely said: "Li Yao is also good."

"This child is boring, how can he compare to Shi Mingqi, his usual grades are mediocre." Chen Sanshu's tone had a bit of hatred for iron, and he said to Chen Jianhong: "This is No, he tried his best a while ago and said that he wanted to go to our company to hone and hone, but after three days of fishing and two days of netting, my people did not dare to disobey him, and they did not learn anything. Oh yes Brother, do you have a simpler position, I will send Li Yao to you, let him learn from Shi Ming, and help me manage the company in the future."

Chen Liyao didn't speak, but already looked at Chen Shiming.

"Learn from my brother?" Chen Qizhao suddenly laughed, "Let's not, he doesn't even bring me, he has no time to bring people. Since it is better to learn from me, Feihong There are still a few vacancies, it's a good day to hang around."

Uncle Chen said: "You're still in school, so how can you..."

Chen Qizhao said again: "My brother is still at work, why? Third uncle looks down on me?"

Chen Jianhong said at the right time: "If you want to practice, it is best to start from the basics, the headquarters is complicated, and it may be easier to go to the subsidiary to study with Qizhao. The two are also the same age. get along better.”

This time, I was just looking for a job for my children, but I just wanted Chen Liyao to go to Chen Shiming to make money. Who doesn't know that the projects under Chen Shiming's hands are now very profitable.

Uncle Chen did more things in his last life. He has no ability. Every time he comes here, he uses a certain project excuse to tell Chen Jianhong to invest. It's a waste of time, and the money thrown in will basically never come back.

The Chen family has a big business, and Chen Jianhong's brother in S City is only Chen Sanshu, and he doesn't care about his brotherhood. However, such a person is greedy, and making concessions again and again will only make him worse.

Chen Qizhao glanced at the location of the restaurant out of the corner of his eye, and came with a meal, there are so many things. He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle San has also invested in a lot of projects before. He specializes in surgery. After all, the market is different. What I learn here is really not useful."

Uncle Chen saw this and said, "Yes, Qi Zhao is still busy with his studies, so why would he be embarrassed to ask Li Yao to trouble you."

Chen Qizhao smiled: "The third uncle also asked my dad to get a lot of investment before, and now the project should be finalized, it is better to let my cousin go to practice, in the end, it is still from his own business. most."

After he finished speaking, he asked, "Uncle San's business should be good this year, right? There are so many projects?"

Uncle Chen didn't speak anymore. He really brought a project here today.

But when Chen Qizhao said this, he was not easy to speak.

Speaking of dry mouth, I wanted to take the initiative to talk about money several times, but I was interrupted inexplicably. Seeing that it was late, Chen Jianhong took the initiative to say that there was still something to do at night, and Uncle Chen also I didn't want to stay longer, I just gave Chen Qizhao a stern look when I left.

Chen Qizhao watched Chen Jianhong send people to the door, and glanced at the garage. He walked into the garage, where Lao Lin's tools for changing tires just now were also cleaned up, and the tools were put away in the tool cabinet in the garage.

Chen Qizhao glanced around, walked to the car where Chen Shiming often sat, squatted down and checked the replaced tire, then walked to the broken tire and looked at the nails Location, it does look like it was punctured while driving.

Lao Lin has already entered the villa, and no one is here.

Chen Qizhao walked to the car window and found that the car was unlocked and the car key was still inserted in the keyhole. He simply sat in, started the accelerator and tried the brakes, and came out after confirming that there was no problem.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Shiming happened to pass by and saw Chen Qizhao getting out of the car.

"No, your car seems to be good." Chen Qizhao said: "Can you borrow me to drive it?"

Chen Shiming glanced at him, "Wait until you take down your driver's license. Put the key inside. Uncle Lin estimates that he will have to clean up later."

"Oh." Chen Qizhao closed the door and looked away: "Didn't you drive this before?"

"The previous one was sent to the garage for regular maintenance." Chen Shiming said.

Chen Qizhao asked: "Which parking lot?"

Chen Shiming said: "The one you were racing last time."

He said, "Chen Qizhao, you're talking a bit too much tonight."

"I'm in a good mood." Chen Qizhao looked away.

Chen Shiming's car accident in his previous life was a new car, and it is not in the garage now.

Maybe he was suspicious.

After Uncle Chen left, the Chen family returned to peace and began to eat New Year's Eve dinner.

A table is surrounded by people, and the servants at home eat at the same table, and the food on the table exudes heat.

"You don't like Third Uncle?" Chen Shiming sat next to Chen Qizhao and poured him a glass of wine.

Chen Qizhao said bluntly: "I don't like it, I can see that he wants money and power all over his face. If you like it? Would you like to tell him that you changed your mind?"

Zhang Yazhi put the last dish on the table, followed the sound and looked at the two brothers in the distance: "Don't quarrel during the New Year, and the two of you don't say a word."

Chen Shiming glanced at Chen Qizhao. In the past, Chen Qizhao liked to go out with friends for New Year's Eve. Every time he finished the New Year's Eve dinner, he couldn't wait to leave. Watching her preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner next to Zhang Yazhi, she didn't say anything to urge her.

I even have the patience to sit in the living room and listen to them. I used to go upstairs to play games.

Zhang Yazhi sandwiched something, "Try this, the new dish my mother learned last time, eat more."

Chen Qizhao looked at the contents of the bowl, "Mom, are you feeding the pigs?"

Gone?"

Chen Jianhong calmly watched the voice of the mother and son, and his eyes stayed on Chen Qizhao for a long time. He looked at Chen Qizhao's casual appearance, but he thought of other things. It seemed that he hadn't gotten along for a while, and he couldn't see the child clearly.

Chen Qizhao was rarely very silent. During this period of time, there was indeed little talk at the dinner table, but occasionally he would respond twice.

But at dinner tonight, Zhang Yazhi asked a few questions, and Chen Qizhao's response was a bit slow.

After eating, Chen Qizhao did not go back to the room, but sat in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala with Zhang Yazhi.

The Spring Festival Gala program was broadcast on TV, and the funny sketch cross talk did not leave any trace in Chen Qizhao's mind. He sat in the living room and listened to Zhang Yazhi's laughter from time to time, while Chen Jianhong next to him was reading a financial newspaper. Chen Shiming is reading a magazine. The family was sitting in the living room busy with their own affairs, but Chen Qizhao felt that the atmosphere was extraordinarily lively, and he didn't feel bothered.

until after 12:00, with a happy New Year, Zhang Yazhi handed him two red envelopes.

Chen Qizhao stayed on the red envelope for a long time, and finally took it.

The vibration on social software continued, Chen Qizhao sent Shen Yuhuai a Happy New Year, and received repeated bombings from Yan Kailin.

Chen Qizhao was in a good mood, so he simply sent a red envelope to the little boy Yan Kailin.

[- Zhao: [New Year's red envelope]]

[-Yan Kailin: I like a straightforward and straightforward person like you! ]

[- Zhao: Oh. ]

[-Yan Kailin: I wish my brother to make a lot of money and make a fortune this year. ]

[- Zhao:…]

Footsteps came from the corridor, Chen Qizhao was about to open the door, and saw Chen Shiming standing in front of him.

Chen Shiming was wearing pajamas with a cup in his hand, "I heard Xiao Xu say yesterday, did you go to the Feihong Technology Department?"

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Qizhao's eyes were on his hand, so he showed him the cup, "Water."

"Go." Chen Qizhao replied: "Rongguang 2.0 is doing well, I will go there and have a look. I heard that they want to continue to develop new products?"

The Rongguang project is very good, and it is likely to become the key construction project of the group in the new year.

Chen Shiming also received a lot of related proposals for the non-Hongrongguang series, but these are just plans, and the specific plans and processes have not been started. As a result, I heard from Xiao Xu yesterday that at the end of the year, Chen Qizhao also went to the Rongguang Technology Department twice, and also made some comments.

"What do you think about connected appliances?" Chen Shiming said bluntly.

There are too many electrical appliances on the market now, and there are many products with the same function.

"Oh, you said this?" Chen Qizhao explained in a natural tone: "I will talk about a smart home. This concept has been proposed for a long time, and many large companies abroad are also trying it out. A big label is quiet now, but haven't you noticed that the number of new products they have launched has decreased in recent years?"

Chen Shiming paused slightly and paid attention to Chen Qizhao's performance: "There is indeed a saying that other big manufacturers are making technological innovations."

"The functions of the products are almost developed, and most of them are simplified. With the current domestic development speed, you can't only develop cheap electrical products. The intelligent concept proposed by the Rongguang project is good. , but this kind of intelligence is not complete, you might as well build a glorious intelligence system..."

Chen really has the capital to do smart home. After all, he started out in real estate and also has a construction company and an electrical appliance company. It is not difficult to build an integrated brand. In the last life, the Chen family was a step too late. Feihong Electric was dragged down by Yicheng and failed to embark on this road ahead of time. In the end, it could only watch other big manufacturers segment the market.

The momentum is so good in this life, it's a pity not to take advantage of the heat.

Smart home appliances will be popular in China in a few years, and everything is still too late.

Chen Qizhao suddenly stopped when he noticed Chen Shiming's scrutiny.

Chen Shiming asked: "Why don't you say anything?"

"Wait a minute." Chen Qizhao entered the room, and soon took a magazine and put it in Chen Shiming's hand.

Chen Shiming: "?"

Chen Qizhao said: "I won't tell you more about the rest. I don't remember, the magazines have it all written, you can look it up when you go back."

Chen Shiming: “…”

Chen Qizhao reminded: "The eighth page, you turn it yourself."

The conversation between the two brothers stopped briefly. Chen Qizhao saw Chen Shiming standing with a magazine and was about to go back to the room.

Suddenly there was a red envelope in front of me.

Chen Shiming handed him a red envelope: "Take it."

Chen Qizhao answered after a meeting.

Chen Shiming asked: "Why don't you say something?"

"Oh." Chen Qizhao stopped, "Dad gave a card in the red envelope."

"..." Chen Shiming: "Less trouble this year."

The corridor was quiet, and the two brothers went back to their rooms.

Chen Shiming knew that Chen Qizhao was interested in artificial intelligence and often read related books. It was not surprising that this magazine appeared in his room. After he put his things down, he opened the eighth page of the magazine, The article mentioned on the page is 'Artificial Intelligence and the Smart Home'.

He hesitated: "Really?"

On the other side, Chen Qizhao who returned to the room did not move, he looked at the three heavy red envelopes in his hand, and did not speak.

After a long time, he opened the lock of the desk cabinet, took out a bunch of documents, and finally put the three red packets at the bottom.

By the time he was lying on the bed and talking on his mobile phone, a lot of messages had accumulated in vx.

He clicked on Shen Yuhuai and saw that Shen Yuhuai sent him a red envelope half an hour ago.

[You received Shen Yuhuai's red envelope. ]

He was about to say thank you just after receiving it, when a picture popped up in the chat interface.

It is the gorgeous fireworks that bloom in the night.

Chen Qizhao stopped and looked out the quiet window, they didn't set off fireworks.

[- Zhao: Nice, it's quiet here tonight. ]

[-Shen Yuhuai: Let me show you the fireworks. ]

Suddenly, a video request popped up.

Chen Qizhao sat up from the quilt, adjusted his pajamas, and then took the video. As soon as he connected, he saw the video facing the sky.

In the quiet bedroom, the sound of fireworks is accompanied by the whistling of the wind, and the gorgeous images are rich and beautiful.

The light on the mobile phone was reflected on Chen Qizhao's face, his attention was all attracted by the fireworks, and he watched intently.

Shen Yuhuai stood on the balcony on the second floor, with his hand against the railing, and shot Chen Qizhao the fireworks in the distance.

Chen Qizhao stared at the fireworks for a while, and was attracted by Shen Yuhuai's voice in the wind.

The other party did not appear in the video range, but the voice was very close, as if it was close to the ear.

Suddenly, he felt that the fireworks were a little dull.

He wanted to see Shen Yuhuai's face.

Chen Qizhao: "What is that over there?"

Shen Yuhuai paused slightly: "Which side?"

"Left."

Shen Yuhuai turned the camera to the left, "It's the exhibition tower in the West District, and there is a light show at night."

Chen Qizhao asked a few more places, and suddenly said, "Is it stuck? It doesn't seem to move."

A voice came from across the video, "Can you see my hand?"

Shen Yuhuai's hand appeared in the video range and waved, the slender hand was very close, Chen Qizhao could see the watch on his wrist.

"I can hear your voice, but the image doesn't move." He lied without changing his face: "The sound is a bit off now, is the camera stuck? Cut it."

There is no action on the opposite side of the video, and the next second video cuts over.

Shen Yuhuai appeared in the camera wearing pajamas, Chen Qizhao looked over subconsciously and saw his jawline and Adam's apple.

When speaking, the other party's Adam's apple seemed to move, and the voice came to this side through the receiver.

"Can you see it now?"

In the darkness, Chen Qizhao met Yu Huai's eyes.

Shen Yuhuai didn't wear glasses tonight, and his eyes seemed to be quenched.

"What?"

Inexplicably, Chen Qizhao's eyes shifted to the other person's Adam's apple, and he realized that his heartbeat was fast.

Suddenly, the other party hung up the video call.

Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped for a while, Shen Yuhuai had sent a message.

[-Shen Yuhuai: It should be that my signal is not good. ]

[- Zhao: Hmm. ]

[-Shen Yuhuai: It's too late, so take a rest early. ]

[-Zhao: Good night, Brother Huai. ]

The night wind whistled, Shen Yuhuai's eyes stopped on the chat interface for a long time, thinking of the vaguer face of the other party in the night mode just now.

He typed: [Well, good night. ]

-*

Chen Qizhao didn't sleep very well all night, and he seemed to be able to see Shen Yuhuai's face all the time.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside.

The weather on the first day of the new year was fine, Chen Qizhao got up slowly, washed up hastily and was ready to go downstairs for dinner.

Just when he walked to the restaurant on the first floor, he saw the butler busy in the kitchen.

The housekeeper saw Chen Qizhao with a look of getting up and shook his hand slightly, "Second Master, Mr. is meeting a guest."

Chen Qizhao glanced at him and looked at several cups on the counter, "Oh, it's fine to drink tea during the day."

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work.

Chen Qizhao thought about who would come to pay New Year's greetings in the morning as he walked, took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, walked around the corner to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the living room, and suddenly saw Shen Yuhuai sitting on the sofa not far away .

Sting—

As soon as the can was opened, the beer was gasping.

"Qi Zhao wakes up? Come here." Zhang Yazhi waved.

Chen Qizhao took a step back subconsciously and hid the cold beer behind him.

Shen Yuhuai nodded at him from a distance.

The housekeeper was preparing tea in the kitchen when he saw Er Shao hurried back, "Er Shao?"

Chen Qizhao: "You are busy."

The housekeeper was a little suspicious, and then he saw the other party put down the cold beer in his hand, turned around and took a bottle of cold milk from the refrigerator.
