Chapter 29 Family Banquet (1)
Inkstone market, talk about family mansion.
The Tan Family Mansion is decorated in a new Chinese style. It is said that it was renovated from an ancestral home left over from the Republic of China. It was built by world-class top architects and perfectly combines the classical elegance of the East with the luxury and refinement of the West.
Together, looking from a distance, it looks like a noble work of art.
Tan Yizhou did not go to the company today. He sat upright and dignified at the dining table in the grand and bright living room.
Today, his grandfather, Tan Hongsheng, the current leader of the Tan family, invites his children and grandchildren to come back and host a family dinner.
The long and narrow dining table is covered with exquisite dishes prepared by star chefs. The time is precisely controlled to ensure that the dishes are still at their best after everyone sits down.
Tan Hongsheng was sitting in the main seat, with a elegant-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting on his left, and Tan Yizhou sitting on his right.
Others, on the other hand, sat according to the seniority rules, lining up on the left and right.
As the heat from the dishes steamed up, the man wearing glasses took off his glasses, took out the special silk lens cloth he carried with him from his pocket, wiped the lenses gently, and then put them on with a graceful gesture.
Then, he leaned back and asked the servant standing behind him: "Is the person setting the dishes new today?"
The servant was stunned and quickly replied: "No, Second Young Master, how dare you let newcomers hold a family banquet? It's all done by those who are used to it."
The man seemed to be in a daze, his expression suddenly changed, and he raised his voice: "Then they don't know that I'm used to wearing glasses, so they deliberately put such a hot dish in front of me to spite me?!"
The words were spoken to the servant, but his eyes were clearly fixed on Tan Yizhou, who was sitting directly across from him, and he was clearly cursing Sang and Huai.
The servant looked horrified and stepped forward to replace the hot dishes with warm dishes in front of him. Then he kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Second Young Master. It was our negligence. I'm sorry, Second Young Master..."
Tan Yizhou half-closed his eyes without even raising his eyelids: "I don't know when you became disabled. You actually lost your hands. You have to rely on others to even change dishes. It really affects my appetite."
"You!" The man's face was gloomy, and anger stained the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, Rong Xuan." Tan Hongsheng waved his servants to leave, and then waved his hand, "Let's have dinner. It's such a great day for everyone to get together."
Tan Rongxuan glared at Tan Yizhou angrily, but when he saw that he didn't even look here, he moved his chopsticks with a look of reluctance.
The Tan family values not talking when eating and sleeping. For a while, there was only the sound of gentle chewing on the dining table, not even the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks.
This is the strict tutoring that belongs to the Tan family.
When everyone had almost finished eating, the servants came forward to clear away the dishes and chopsticks. Tan Rongxuan finally vented his anger that he had accumulated for a long time, and said with a strange tone: "I just wanted to say, who is this? Tan's family
Busy man, why do you finally have time to come to my old home today? Why don't you continue working in your small branch?"
Tan Yizhou didn't pay attention to him at first. He picked up the napkin and pressed it gently on the corners of his lips. His posture was more elegant than Tan Rongxuan's just now, which made Tan Rongxuan's teeth sore.
Then, as if he had to respond out of politeness, he reluctantly opened his mouth and said, "Do I need to report my itinerary to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell to the bottom.
Tan Rongxuan was at least sarcastic in a roundabout way, while Tan Yizhou was always frivolous and disdainful of hypocrisy and compromise.
Direct disdain is often more irritating than implicit sarcasm, which shows that the other party really looks down on him and does not take him seriously.
