Chapter 2919 Mu Yuan Wants to Show Affection
The servants prepared the food, and the Mu family also arrived.
The servants prepared fifteen dishes in two hours, including cold dishes, hot dishes, fried dishes, stews, and steamed dishes. It was very rich and filled a large round table. The smell made people salivate. In front of each person, there was a bowl of bird's nest and shredded chicken soup, which was delicious and smooth.
Mu Yuan thought there were no crabs, but who knew that in the middle of winter, there were ten hairy crabs. Mu Chen was very good at peeling crabs, and peeled them cleanly. He peeled one for Mu Chen's mother and Fu Chuyue. Mu Yuan followed suit and peeled one for Jack and his mother, hoping that if Jack peeled it, he would chew the meat and the crab shell together.
Jack, "..."
In fact, he really didn't like to eat crabs.
Unfortunately, Mu Yuan wanted to show off.
He could only indulge him.
General Mu looked at his toothache, "I have raised you so big, have you ever peeled a crab for me?"
Jack was so scared that he almost gave him the one in his bowl.
Mu Yuan retorted, "Do you need me to peel it? You can peel it more skillfully than me."
General Mu was so angry that he jumped up and down. Mu's mother tried to smooth things over. "It's just a crab, but you still bother with the child. I'll give it to you. Shut up."
She gave him the crab from her bowl.
Mu Jianshen sat in the main seat. He was the head of the Mu family. He was very satisfied with Fu Chuyue, his daughter-in-law. Even if her personality was a little flawed, her business ability made up for all the imperfections.
"Xiao Yue will be transferred to general manager after the New Year, right?"
"Yes, Dad!" Fu Chuyue ate some food that Mu Chen fed her like a little squirrel, and answered seriously, "I will be transferred in April, but I am young, so I have to keep a low profile on this matter. If it is exposed, I am afraid that public opinion will spread rumors and it will be unfavorable to me. At that time, I may have to trouble Dad to help deal with it."
"Okay, I know my limits on this and will ask someone to keep an eye on me!"
People always have certain prejudices against girls who are good-looking and have a good family background. Since the system has become younger, many young people in their twenties have risen rapidly, and their business capabilities are really much more resistant than some officials who have worked hard to gain experience. Fu Chuyue is a typical example.
Of course, this is indeed related to her background. Relying on the Mu family and the Fu family, she has a wide network of contacts and is willing to give face. She is also strong in business, otherwise she would be a fool who can't afford it.
Three-level jump in one year is already a routine operation.
Even if she didn't have the background of the Fu family and the Mu family, she would have been promoted sooner or later.
"Xiao Yue is really amazing!" General Mu also praised, "Old Yang praised her today."
Fu Chuyue was praised by two powerful elders, and her expression did not change. She just implicitly accepted everyone's praise. Fortunately, the elders of the Mu family are used to it.
If Mu Chen had not been in love for many years and Fu Chuyue had a good background, Mu Jianshen might not agree with such a daughter-in-law.
Mu Yuan whispered to Jack, "It has nothing to do with us, just eat and it's over."
Jack thought to himself, it would be best if they had nothing to do.
But... is Xiaoyuan too naive!
Obviously, this Hongmen Banquet was for him!
"Has Lieutenant Colonel Jack been serving in the army? Follow your uncle's path, or your father's path, or listen to the arrangements of the family?" Mu Jianshen asked the question he wanted to ask most tonight.
Jack had rehearsed the questions that Mu Jianshen wanted to ask many times in his mind, and the answers were also fluent, "I will serve in the army for the next ten years, and then make adjustments based on the family's situation."
