It was about 4:30 in the afternoon when the group arrived at the Qin Family Villa. It was getting dark, but the villa was brightly lit. It was already November, and the cold wind was rustling at the foot of the mountain, with snowflakes scattered in the northwest wind, but the mountain was still shaded by green trees because of the hot springs.

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom passed the sculpture fountain and stopped at the door of the villa. The driver and Assistant Hu got out of the car first and opened the door for Qin Mu. Cheng Lang took off his down jacket and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him when he got out of the car.

The third uncle of the Qin family, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, glanced at Cheng Lang with a smile, "I didn't expect that eldest nephew, you would actually bring your White Jade Capital pillar to the old man's birthday banquet. It seems that you are very satisfied with the pillars that your uncle helped you choose.”

Cheng Lang secretly raised his eyebrows and glanced at the third uncle of the Qin family without leaving a trace.

The third uncle of the Qin family was also looking at Cheng Lang. He also stretched out a fat hand and patted Cheng Lang's shoulder with a smile, "Young man, you must be obedient and work hard. Only in this way can you have a good future."

Instantly, the atmosphere at the door of the villa was a little turbulent. Whether it was the Qin family standing at the door to receive guests or the guests who were about to visit, they all looked at Qin Mu meaningfully.

Cheng Lang blinked his eyes and said with a bright smile, "Don't worry. Before I came, the company had already paid enough for my appearance. I will definitely perform well today. I will definitely not let our boss down. I will try my best to make it as lively and exciting as possible."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The people standing next to the third uncle of the Qin family were probably also nephews of the Qin family. After all, they were a little younger and couldn't keep their temper at all. After hearing Cheng Lang's words, they asked bluntly, "What's the money? Being able to attend my grandfather's birthday banquet is a face-saving thing for you. How dare you mention money?"

The nephew probably wanted to take the opportunity to hit Qin Mu. But he didn't notice that as soon as he said this, the guests present also frowned slightly.

Cheng Lang still had that smile on his face and explained gently, "Mr. Qin is such a big shot, so he has a lot of face. I am a small worker without parents, and it is only because of our boss's support that I have the opportunity to stand on this small piece of land. He was kind enough to show me the world, but he still had to follow the labor law and compensate me for overtime. Our boss is really a good person. Our company is also a good company. In the future, I will work diligently and conscientiously and do my best to contribute to the development of the company."

The nephew of the Qin family was agitated by Cheng Lang's words and couldn't help but sneer, "You are just a singer in a bar, what's the point of talking so much? You just do what I give you. No matter how nice the words are, you are here for the money."

Cheng Lang looked at the other party in surprise. He doesn't know what the child was stimulated by at such a young age.

"You are so wise. I am just a laborer, and I work to make money. As long as the money is in place, everything you said is right."

"You—" Qin's nephew looked at Cheng Lang angrily. Perhaps he had never seen a man like Cheng Lang before and couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question, "Why are you so shameless?"

"This gentleman is really good at judging people." Cheng Lang looked at Qin's nephew with a look of amazement, "How do you know that I usually make money by being shameless?"

"I—" Qin's nephew was so angry that he was speechless.

"Okay!" The third uncle of the Qin family watched coldly, and seeing that his nephew really couldn't get any advantage, he smiled and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"You are such a fluent young man, it's a waste of talent for you to be a resident artist in White Jade Capital." The third uncle of the Qin family sighed and asked, "Are you interested in changing jobs?"

This sentence sounded a little familiar.

Cheng Lang subconsciously glanced at Assistant Hu and then responded, "I'm doing well in White Jade Capital. I have no plans to change jobs for the time being."

"Young people should not be short-sighted and blinded by the immediate benefits." The third uncle of the Qin family patiently advised, "You should know that long-term development is much more important than temporary gains and losses. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss now, there will always be benefits for you in the future."

As he said that, the third uncle of the Qin family looked at Qin Mu again and said, "Nephew, do you think I'm right?"

Qin Mu looked at Uncle Qin and said indifferently, "You have some truth in what you said."

The third uncle of the Qin family curled his lips with pride and looked at Cheng Lang, "Look, your boss said so."

"Of course, the bosses say so." Cheng Lang disagreed, "Since it is a blessing to suffer losses. Why doesn't the boss eat all the losses and leave all the blessings to us employees?"

The third uncle of the Qin family was speechless for a while.

The nephew of the Qin family snorted coldly, "No wonder you can only be a resident singer in a bar. People like you can't become anything big."

"You are right." Cheng Lang nodded.

Qin's nephew: "..."

Qin's nephew sneered, "People like you probably won't feel what it means to live with dignity in your lifetime."

Cheng Lang sighed and looked at the Qin family's nephew calmly, "Before I came, our boss only gave me 100,000 yuan for the appearance fee."

The Qin family nephew didn't understand, raised his eyebrows, and sneered, "So what?"

"This 100,000 yuan appearance fee obviously does not include the price of being a punching bag. So," Cheng Lang looked at the Qin family nephew, "If you want to insult me ​​personally, please add money."

The Qin family nephew's face changed, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of asking me for money?"

Cheng Lang looked directly at the Qin family nephew and said, "If you can't come up with money, don't be too arrogant. In the business world, rich people are the masters. The grandson of a rich man is not my grandson."

"What did you say?" The Qin family nephew was furious when he heard this and stretched out his hand to grab Cheng Lang's collar.

Cheng Lang stopped him, "Mr. Qin, today is your father's 80th birthday. Guests are welcome, you first blocked the guest at the door and spoke rudely, and now you want to hit him. Are you making trouble or celebrating the birthday?"

"Qin Mi, let go." The third uncle of the Qin family scolded Qin Mi in a deep voice.

After a pause, he put on a smile and looked at Cheng Lang, "Young people are young and full of energy, please forgive me."

"You are too kind." Cheng Lang let go of his hand and said politely, "I am an orphan. I was born by my father but not raised by my mother. I have no education. Please forgive me."

The third uncle of the Qin family's face changed. Only then did he realize that Cheng Lang's words were indeed sharp.

The atmosphere was obviously a little awkward. The guests who were still at the door looked at each other in bewilderment and were about to speak to ease the atmosphere. Then someone laughed and said, "How is it, Old Third Qin? You have also experienced the eloquence of our new pillar of White Jade Capital today, right?" Cheng Lang turned around and found that the person who spoke was a guest who often went to White Jade Capital to drink.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't play Cheng Lang's idea." The guest came up and said with a smile, "Cheng Lang is now White Jade Capital's number one. He is a striving young man with identity, status, and lofty goals. The day he took office, he made a grand statement on stage. He would not leave White Jade Capital until he earned 100 million yuan.”

As soon as the person opens his mouth, he is an old crosstalk person. Cheng Lang suffered from an occupational disease and subconsciously answered, "This guest is absolutely right."

"Because I usually pay enough?" The guest looked at Cheng Lang with a half-smile.

Cheng Lang nodded half shyly and half upright.

"Look!" The guest looked at the nephew of the Qin family again and said meaningfully, "As long as the money is paid, our Cheng Lang will be very obedient. The Qin family's signboard is in X City, although it is loud. Come out and go in. Everyone wants to give me three points for thin noodles, but after all, the signboard cannot be used as money. If you encounter someone who doesn’t buy it, you will be disappointed.”

Hearing this, the nephew of the Qin family looked over with an unconvinced expression.

The third uncle of the Qin family stopped his nephew and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao is right."

After saying this, the third uncle of the Qin family suddenly felt that something was wrong. He glanced at Cheng Lang subconsciously, his expression slightly unnatural.

Mr. Zhao laughed loudly and turned his back on the guests, "It's quite cold today. I think everyone should go in and chat later?"

The third uncle of the Qin family and several other Qin family members stepped aside and said with a smile, "Everyone, please."

Cheng Lang followed Qin Mu into the Qin family villa. Assistant Hu said with a half-smile, "It's pretty eloquent."

Cheng Lang answered softly, "I make all my money from this mouth!"

Assistant Hu smiled and said, "Behave well. The company will not treat you badly."

Cheng Lang sighed, "Maybe I talk too much, and I like bosses who don't like to talk nonsense."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

A few minutes later, everyone was introduced to the birthday boy. Old Master Qin, who celebrates his birthday today, is over eighty years old. He has a full head of white hair, but he looks energetic and energetic.

The old man looked at Qin Mu, who walked up to him and nodded with satisfaction, "I thought you wouldn't come today."

Before Qin Mu could speak, the old man said again, "No matter what, just come."

After saying that, he signaled Qin Mu to take two steps forward, held Qin Mu's hand, and asked, "Where is Wen Yu?"

The third uncle of the Qin family whispered, "Eldest brother is entertaining guests in the living room."

"Let him come over." Old Master Qin said in a deep voice, "The eldest grandson of our Qin family has finally come back. What else does the guest outside have to worry about?"

The third uncle of the Qin family nodded, "I'll call my eldest brother in immediately."

After saying that, the third uncle of the Qin family waved his hand to Qin Mi. Qin Mi glared at Qin Mu and went to call someone reluctantly.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with peach-blossom eyes and lusty eyes hurried over. Behind him was a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her thirties.

"Dad, did you call me?" Qin Wenyu walked up to the old man, glanced at Qin Mu from the corner of his eye, and asked politely. However, Cheng Lang always felt that this man was not as well-behaved as he appeared.

Old Master Qin glared at his son, "Didn't you see Ah Mu?"

"I'm not blind. How can I still not see such a big man standing here?" Qin Wenyu said, glaring at Qin Mu with his peach-blossom eyes, "I treat him as a son, but he won't say a word when he sees me. As a father, do I have to say hello to my son first?"

Old Master Qin asked calmly, "In front of whom do you call yourself father (Lao Tzu)?"

Qin Wenyu shrank his neck and said vaguely, "That's what it's like anyway."

The beautiful woman standing next to him smiled apologetically and said, "Dad, logically speaking, Wen Yu can't be blamed for this. How can a son refuse to call him dad for so many years—"

"Our Qin family's affairs," Old Master Qin said calmly, "it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere."

The beautiful woman's expression changed, and she looked at Qin Wenyu aggrievedly.

Qin Wenyu patted the back of the beautiful woman's hand and said, "Dad, don't be so harsh on Manyi. After all, she has been with me for so many years."

Before he finished speaking, a man walked in with a hurried look, walked up to the third uncle of the Qin family, and whispered a few words. The third uncle of the Qin family's expression changed, and he blurted out, "Dad, there's something wrong with the Lin City project."

"Some experts said that a large tomb was found under that piece of land!"

As the third uncle of the Qin family spoke, he looked at Qin Mu aggressively, as if he were planning to launch an attack on the enemy, and said, "Ah Mu, this project was transferred from your hands. You can't write two characters of Qin in one stroke. Have you known about this for a long time? You are deliberately digging a hole to frame me!"

"I know you have a grudge against my family because of your mother's affairs. But is it too much for you to do this?"

"Third Master Qin, what you said is going too far, isn't it?" Assistant Hu pushed up his glasses, "Isn't this project something that your family tried their best to take away from us? You also want to rob it, you can't just frame our boss because something happened?"

Qin Mu didn't even bother to glance at Qin's third uncle from the corner of his eye and said coldly, "Third uncle said suffering is a blessing."

The third uncle of the Qin family: "..."
