Chapter 276 What Suggestions Does Uncle Xiao Have?

"General Manager Xiao, welcome!"

"Mr. Tang, hello, hello! Hello, Mrs. Tang!"

"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat!"

"Mr. Tang, please go first!"

"General Manager Xiao is a guest from afar, so please come first!"

"Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang have worked hard to arrange the banquet, but you should invite me first!"

"..."

In the private room of the Quanjude Restaurant in the Asian Games Village, Tang Lin, his wife, and Xiao Ming were giving in to each other, and no one was willing to sit down first. Neither of them are good at sociability. In this situation, they both forced themselves to socialize with each other. How should they do it in order to appear natural and not impolite? Neither party could decide what to do, and for a moment they were in a stalemate. .

Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun both stood far away, watching the three adults acting. In fact, before accompanying their adults to the restaurant, both of them told them that this was just an ordinary family dinner and there was no need to be too polite. But the adults on both sides didn't think so. They all claimed that parents' meeting was an important event and should not be neglected. They also pretended that they were very experienced and often participated in such meetings. In this case, you can only let them mess around. You are still a child, what are you messing around with?

"You did it on purpose!"

When the adults weren't paying attention, Xiao Wenjun rolled his eyes at Tang Zifeng and asked in a low voice.

"Why did I do it on purpose? It was Lao Xiao himself who said he wanted to see my parents. What can I do?" Tang Zifeng shrugged.

Xiao Wenjun was too lazy to care about the title Tang Zifeng used. She said, "You know my dad doesn't know how to do this, so why can't you make it simpler?"

"My parents don't know how to do this, okay? Your dad is from the city after all, and he has a lot of tricks. My parents are from the countryside, how can they understand this?"

"Your dad is Mr. Tang now. Do you dare to say that he doesn't usually have social activities?"

"This is really not the case. Zijie's father is responsible for any social events in our company."

"It's really troublesome. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have allowed them to meet."

"If Lao Xiao is not allowed to meet my parents, how can he safely marry his daughter to me?"

"No way, Tang Zifeng, why didn't I realize you were so thick-skinned?"

"Rodin said that for our skin, it is not a lack of thickness, but a lack of discovery."

"Am I making a careless friend?"

"At best, it's probably a mistake to get on a pirate ship."

"By the way, Tang Zifeng, when did you start wanting to marry me?"

"I said I fell in love with you at first sight on the train, do you believe it?"

"Xin! Who didn't you fall in love with at first sight?"

"Wang Zijie and I slept on the same bed for four years, and I didn't like him either."

"……Clothes!"

The young couple were flirting leisurely here, and the dispute on the other end finally came to an end. Tang Lin and Xiao Ming held each other's hands and sat down at the same time. Xu Guixiang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Tang Zifeng doing nothing, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Zifeng, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you go over and pour wine for your Uncle Xiao!"

"Hey, here we come!"

Tang Zifeng agreed, picked up the Maotai bottle on the table and walked towards Xiao Ming. In the late 1990s, even in Beijing, the service level of the service industry was still far behind that of the southern coast. In such a high-end restaurant, waiters would not help pour wine, but customers had to do it themselves.

"No, no, no, no, Zifeng, you'd better pour a drink for Mr. Tang first."

Seeing Tang Zifeng coming over, Xiao Ming quickly covered the wine glass in front of him with his hand and said to Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng chuckled and said surprisingly: "Come on, Lao Xiao, don't be polite. I'll pour it for you first, and then for my dad later."

When Tang Zifeng said "Lao Xiao", everyone in the room was stunned. Needless to say, Xiao Ming was embarrassed. Xiao Wenjun gritted his teeth, but due to the presence of Tang Zifeng's parents, he could not reveal his violent side, so he could only slash at Tang Zifeng's back with his sharp eyes. kill. Tang Lin didn't hear clearly at first, but when he came back to his senses, he didn't know how to reprimand him.

Xu Guixiang was the first to react. She casually grabbed the chopsticks in front of her and wanted to throw them at Tang Zifeng. After a few gestures, she felt it was inappropriate, so she turned her anger into a curse: "Zifeng, you are talking nonsense. What! No big or small!"

Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "Mom, don't be angry. Uncle Xiao and I were joking. I said you guys are serious. We are not outsiders. What official titles do you call each other? Dad, Uncle Xiao is a very casual person. You Just call him Lao Xiao. Uncle Xiao, you can also call my dad Lao Tang. Wouldn't it be more comfortable that way?"

"Yes, yes, Zifeng is right." Xiao Ming came to his senses. He smiled and said to Tang Lin: "Mr. Tang, from now on we will be a family. I will call you Old Tang. How about that?"

"Okay, then I will also call you Lao Xiao." Tang Lin answered the question very quickly. To be honest, just now he called the other person "Chief Engineer Xiao" one after another. It really felt awkward, and he gained a few points out of thin air. . After letting his son make a fuss, he also realized that it would be better to change the name. After all, the two parties were going to be in-laws in the future.

"That's right." Tang Zifeng said with satisfaction, "This makes you look so close."

"Being close is also a matter between us adults. You brat, you are so petty to your Uncle Xiao. How about if I don't beat you up when I get back!" Tang Lin raised his eyes and lectured Tang Zifeng.

"I'm wronged!" Tang Zifeng shouted, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Uncle Xiao, you have to bear witness to me. Every time I go to Wulang, I treat you and aunt respectfully, right?"

"Well..." Xiao Ming was speechless for a moment. He really had nothing to do with Tang Zifeng.

In the past few years, he had met Tang Zifeng many times, and he knew Tang Zifeng's character and character quite well. He knew that Tang Zifeng looked carefree on the surface, but in fact he was very polite and measured. Tang Zifeng did occasionally call him "Lao Xiao", but every time it was in a specific scene and it was out of the need to adjust the atmosphere that he would do so.

Just like this time, Tang Zifeng must have seen that he and Tang Lin were being too polite and wanted to have fun and make both of them relax, so he did this. I have to say that the effect of Tang Zifeng's move is quite good.

Although he knew Tang Zifeng's intention, after all, it was in front of his daughter and in-laws. Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if he just recognized this "Old Xiao"?

But if he was asked to keep a straight face and scold Tang Zifeng, it seemed inappropriate. His biological parents were right next to him, and he was just a prospective father-in-law. It seemed like he was overstepping his bounds to discipline his children. If Tang Lin and his wife were not around, when Tang Zifeng was disrespectful to Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming could actually call him a brat. It's not like he had never done so before.

With no choice, Xiao Ming could only reply angrily: "Don't you know whether you are respectful or not?"

"I must be very respectful. No, I didn't even pour my dad's wine. Why don't I pour it for you first, Uncle Xiao?" Tang Zifeng smiled playfully and stretched out a hand to grab Xiao Ming's glass. hand. Xiao Ming then half pushed and half let go of his hand, letting Tang Zifeng pour him wine first.

After pouring Xiao Ming's wine, Tang Zifeng poured wine for Tang Lin, then his mother, girlfriend and himself. When everyone had wine in their glasses, Tang Lin picked up the glasses and said to Xiao Ming: "Old Xiao, this is the first time we meet, let me toast you first. Zifeng, this kid is ignorant and must have made you angry a lot. I I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.”

"Old Tang, don't say that." Xiao Ming quickly raised his glass and said, "Zifeng is very capable. He took charge of the work of Linyiji at a young age. This is not something that any young man can do. In fact, Zifeng Every time Feng comes to our Wulang, she respects Wenjun and me and her mother very much, and occasionally makes jokes and plays tricks. This is the liveliness of young people, and we as elders can understand it."

"Haha, Lao Xiao, just don't be angry. Come on, let's do it."

"Come on, do one!"

The heads of households on both sides raised their glasses, and naturally others also raised their glasses. Everyone laughed and drank the first glass of wine together. Seeing everyone put down their wine glasses, Tang Zifeng got up and poured the wine as usual. Xiao Ming was no longer polite. Even after Tang Zifeng poured the wine for him, he even skipped the courtesy of nodding. This was to express his gratitude. I want to regain the lost face.

The toasts on the wine table are all the same, so there is no need to elaborate. After several rounds of drinking, the two parties began to talk without anything to say. Xiao Ming is a technician, and Tang Lin and his wife are farmers who have just moved to the city. It is really difficult for both parties to find topics of common interest and that they can talk about. Seeing that the dinner table was about to fall into silence, Tang Zifeng coughed lightly and started talking:

"Uncle Xiao, it is said that the country is going to carry out institutional reforms this year. Have you heard about it?"

Xiao Ming was thinking hard about what to talk about with Tang Lin. Hearing Tang Zifeng's question, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Tang Zifeng and replied: "I heard. Mechanical Department, Electronic Department, Chemical Industry The ministry and other functional ministries will be abolished, and the reform will be quite intensive. By the way, Zifeng, once the Ministry of Machinery is abolished, where will you go with the machine? Does the ministry have a clear opinion? "

Tang Zifeng said: "I went to the ministry yesterday and asked. The ministry has not yet made clear arrangements for our ministry-affiliated enterprises. Generally speaking, some are still directly under the central government, some are transferred to local governments, and some are transformed into joint-stock systems or Convert it to private ownership. When it comes to the specific situation of the first machine, the leaders of our second bureau said that they respect our own choice."

"Then what did you think about it?" Xiao Ming asked.

Tang Zifeng smiled and asked, "What suggestions does Uncle Xiao have?"

As soon as the father-in-law and son-in-law started chatting, Tang Lin and his wife fell silent. They knew that their son and his in-laws had more in common, and they really couldn't figure out the management of such a large enterprise. Seeing that their son can communicate with a great intellectual like Xiao Ming on an equal footing, the old couple is quite pleased.

Xiao Ming shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this either. To be honest, our 17th Institute is also facing the problem of where to go. If you don't mention it today, I will find an opportunity to ask you." "

I have been recording classes... Is it easy for a clumsy-tongued Chengzi to record an excellent course that speaks like lotuses?
