Chapter 482: Chapter 0401: Qin Family Banquet (Second Update)

The Qin Family dinner was just a family gathering.

And, those who sat at the banquet were mainly descendants of Qin Kaigong’s lineage.

Along with some elite family members of the clan.

The middle-aged generation included Qin Jian Country, Qin JianShe, Qin Jianjun, etc.

The younger generation, Qin Yun, Qin Feng, Qin Shu, etc.

Of course, also including Ye Qingfeng and Qin Yunfei.

But, the seats of Ye Qingfeng and Qin Yunfei were placed at the very end of the banquet.

However, Ye Qingfeng didn’t mind.

The Qin Family dinner was held at home.

Yet, they invited the top chefs from Mingzhu City,

The Qin Family’s family dinner was of high standards, starting with fruit platters—blueberries, fire dragon fruit, kiwis, and other sumptuous fruits, sculpted and placed in the platters.

Then came the appetizers, braised three-layer pork, cod liver with orange vinegar, crystal pork knuckle, and fresh marinated clams.

These cold dishes not only looked exquisite but also tasted incredibly delicious.

After the cold dishes.

Came the main courses, peacock spread fish, phoenix smile, angelica drunken chicken rolls, honey sauce char siu, spicy duck gizzards, dried scallop winter melon duck soup, and some southern dishes.

The Qin family rules were strict, the so-called no talking while eating.

After a few rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, it was only then that the old man Qin Kaigong spoke first.

When the old man spoke, everyone stopped their chopsticks and listened carefully.

"In a few days, the Ye Family’s annual meeting will be held, and we all have to return to Qin Family Village; one must not forget their roots."

"Our Qin Family has moved step by step to its current status, all due to the support of the elders and villagers of Qin Family Village."

The old man Qin Kaigong spoke with a bit of sentimentality.

The entire Qin Family, of course, was not just the lineage of Qin Kaigong.

There were many other brothers and cousins, the family members of Qin helping each other.

Only then did they develop and thrive, becoming the flourishing Qin Family of today.

The Qin Family annual meeting is not only for blessing the New Year but also to summarize the family’s development over the past year.

To see which family members have made contributions to the family and will be respected and praised by all family members.

Most importantly, of course, is the marriage alliance with the Shen Family.

"Let’s talk about the eldest first! Jian Country has done quite well in the city office this year, Mayor Chen mentioned you last time, praising you highly."

"Now as the director of the office, being the third in command in the city, accumulating some experience; in a few years, you might be promoted to deputy mayor."

"Or transferred to another city for broader prospects, which is very good."

Qin Kaigong rarely praised.

As the pillar of the family, Qin Jian Country’s achievements naturally received enthusiastic applause and agreement from the family members.

Receiving praise from the old man and the family,

Qin Jian Country remained expressionless, maintaining a composed demeanor.

However, Qin Jian Country’s wife, Gu Xi, was already beaming with joy.

"With Big Brother’s current achievements, getting promoted to deputy mayor won’t be difficult, then let’s see if the other lineages still dare to criticize JianShe."

The second aunt was also quite happy.

This lineage of Qin Kaigong was considered the least promising.

He managed the Qin family’s business but found it hard to earn substantial profits for the Qin Family.

But, Qin Jian Country, Qin JianShe, Qin Jianjun were all brothers; they rise and fall together.

With Qin Jian Country’s promotion, the other branches of the Qin family would naturally hesitate to meddle in Qin JianShe’s affairs.

His position as chairman of the Qin Group would naturally be stable.

"Second, I’m not saying, managing a company requires putting your heart into it, you know, your performance is even worse than Yun Fei’s."

"She started from scratch in Heishui City, and now her assets are already close to half of our Qin Group’s, if you can’t be a good chairman."

"After Yun Fei marries into the Shen Family, let her manage the Qin Group."

Qin Kaigong chided without saving face.

Qin JianShe sweated from his forehead, not daring to retort.

"Alright, alright, the Qin Group is such a big company, and the second one has painstakingly managed it, what more do you want from him, old man."

"If he doesn’t have a business mind, he can learn slowly, the Qin Group cannot be managed by an outsider!"

At this moment, the old lady sitting next to Qin Kaigong, Fang Hui, could not resist speaking up for her second son, Qin JianShe.

She was naturally Ye Qingfeng’s maternal grandmother as well.

However, because of what Qin Kaigong said, the old lady couldn’t help but give Qin Yunfei a fierce look.

"You old woman, what nonsense are you talking!"

Qin Kaigong reproached her with a bark.

The old lady mumbled a few words but dared not speak again.

However, Qin Yunfei, at this moment, tightly clenched her delicate jade hands.

Her slender fingers were deeply embedded into her flesh.

Indeed, she had no bloodline of the Qin Family.

She was adopted by Ye Qingfeng’s mother, Qin Xin, from a young age.

Treated as her own daughter.

Qin Yunfei, always remembered Qin Xin’s kindness and treated the Qin Family as her own family.

Now, being accused by the old lady, naturally felt a bit disheartened.

"My grandchild is no different; the old lady just has that temper."

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng softly said beside Qin Yunfei’s ear, smiling elegantly.

Honestly, it wasn’t just Qin Yunfei; even he wasn’t too close to the old lady.

The old lady favored sons over daughters.

She bore three sons and one daughter.

His mother was the daughter.

The old lady didn’t care for her daughter, but for her sons.

When Ye Qingfeng was young, in the Qin Family, he would often see the old lady giving candies and snacks to other siblings, whereas he would get the leftovers.

But Ye Qingfeng didn’t mind much about this.

He just found the old lady’s bad temper somewhat amusing.

"Tch!"

With Ye Qingfeng’s words, Qin Yunfei instantly felt a warm current flow through her heart, and she covered her mouth, letting out a gentle laugh.

"It’s disgraceful; when elders speak, you should listen carefully and humbly accept it; what’s with the smiling!"

At this point, Qin Jianjun spoke.

He also reproached Qin Yunfei.

He was originally from a military background.

Rules and discipline were naturally paramount to him.

Moreover, Qin Jianjun served as a colonel in a southern military camp.

He was adept at managing the troops, naturally exuding an imposing presence now.

"Sister Yun Fei didn’t say anything from the beginning, just smiled once; is this place a prison?"

Ye Qingfeng spoke up.

Originally, he didn’t want to get involved; only seeing Sister Yun Fei wronged.

These elders were so aggressive.

His mother was gone, and his father wasn’t in the Qin Family at the moment.

He naturally had to stand up for Qin Yunfei.

However, as soon as Ye Qingfeng said this, it aroused the surprise of everyone.

Talking back to Qin Jianjun, who was famously known as the stern-faced colonel!

None among the middle-aged generation in the Qin Family dared to do so.

Ye Qingfeng, just a junior with no power or influence, had no status in the Qin Family at all.
