Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 336
Compared with the last time I came here, new changes have taken place in the winery.

In addition to nearly doubling in size, there is an additional office building under construction in the northwest corner of the winery.

Father Qiao pointed to the building that had already reached the eighth floor, and said, "This will be the office center of the winery in the future. It was designed by the Northwest Design Institute. Now the winery has been positioned as a demonstration enterprise in the city..."

With pride on his face, he said to Qiao Mu: "The province is selecting outstanding entrepreneurs and has given us a place in the factory..."

"The winery is yours, my sister has been managing it, these honors should belong to you." Qiao Mu smiled and shook his head.

Father Qiao felt slightly regretful about his son's refusal.

He looked up at the busy workers, and said calmly, "No matter what time a person arrives, don't forget your identity."

"Your uncle has served the country and the people all his life. Someone wanted to entrust him with some work before, but your grandfather took the gift he gave you. He backed away when he knew it, and even had a fight with your grandfather..."

"People from Old Qiao's family can't do things that violate the law and discipline." Father Qiao's tone became severe when he said this.

Qiao Mu smiled wryly, "Dad, I haven't done anything illegal."

He was speculating in his heart, if his father knew what he was going to do in the future, he didn't know what he would think.

It made him suddenly sad.

In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, he concealed the true power of the tavern from those close to him, but invisibly pulled the relationship between them away.

It seemed that there was a pair of invisible hands in the darkness tearing away this strong relationship, which made Qiao Mu feel a little panicked.

Seeing those workers laying bricks upstairs, he seemed to see someone building a wall between himself and his relatives, trying to separate them.

This increasingly obvious gap...

"Don't forget your original intention!" Father Qiao's voice came suddenly.

He looked directly at his son and said, "That's what your uncle used to say."

Qiao Mu's body shook slightly, and the words "Don't forget your original intention" recalled in his mind.

He nodded heavily at his father.

Father Qiao laughed in a rare way.

He patted Qiao Mu on the shoulder and said, "No matter what happens outside, don't forget that you and I are still there."

When Qiao Mu was feeling his father's rare warmth, he suddenly saw Qiao's father's face change, and asked, "What's going on with you and Weiwei?"

"Ah." Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment.

"We're all sure about the relationship, why don't you hurry up and get married, our Qiao family doesn't like that kind of..." Father Qiao thought for a while, and said, "It's the kind of scumbag mentioned on TV."

The corner of Qiao Mu's mouth twitched.

"Every girl is willing, but why don't you take the initiative?" Father Qiao said.

He stared at his son, and continued: "I don't care what you think, this daughter-in-law and I have identified with your mother..."

"Dad, I know." Qiao Mu said helplessly, "I still have some difficult business matters. I will propose to Tang Wei when everything is on the right track."

Father Qiao said "Yes", thinking that he should hug his grandson soon.

The two went around the winery, and Qiao Mu saw Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Both of them are actually robots, but others don't know it.

Qiao's father also specially praised the two to his son.

The last time Qiao Mengxi took the train to Lin province to do business, he met a group of robbers on the way, and it was these two who took care of the gang.

Zhang Qi also met Qiao Mengxi that time.

He didn't know Qiao Mengxi's identity, but he saw that the two robbers seemed to be interested in Qiao Mengxi and wanted to pull her away, so he stood up, but it was a pity that he had a fight with those two and was stabbed instead. Thanks to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu who settled the two of them.

Zhang Qi's brave deeds earned him Qiao Mengxi's favor, and the two fell in love with each other, and in just two months, they developed to the point of meeting their parents.

Qiao Mengxi had already met the Zhang family a week ago, and it seemed that the results were good, and Zhang Qi also planned to come to Qiao's house today.

Zhang Qi didn't know the specific situation of Qiao's family. He heard that she managed a small winery, but he just thought it was a small workshop in a township.

He didn't even know that those people were going for Qiao Mengxi, and even if Zhang Long and Zhao Hu didn't do anything, Qiao Mengxi's strength could easily deal with those guys from the island country.

He also didn't know that the death of those people in the car accident was not due to bad luck, but because it was under Qiao Mu's control.

Qiao Mu and his father walked around the winery, and received a call from Tang Wei that Zhang Qi had already arrived.

The father and son hurried home, and Zhang Qi was already sitting on the sofa.

Seeing the two people who came in, he got up in a hurry and called out with some embarrassment: "Uncle."

Immediately, he cast his eyes on Qiao Mu, and at this moment, his eyes were obviously shocked.

Zhang Qi's father is a retired official of the provincial department, with little energy.

When I first saw some differences in Qiao's Tavern, especially after someone was knocked out by the "security guard" of the tavern and survived, I was always dissatisfied.

He thought that the tavern had a big backer, so he bullied others.

But when he tried to investigate, he was told that it was a confidential document. Together with a friend of his father, a senior official who had reached the deputy provincial level, he also told him that the matter was serious and warned him not to ask for trouble.

Even if he was splashed with cold water, he did not give up.

After all, his investigation had some results. For example, he knew that this tavern only emerged about two years ago, and it had been unremarkable until then.

At the same time, he also learned that the owner of the tavern was named Qiao Mu, and he only had specific information about Qiao Mu, and he had nothing to gain except his appearance.

He had doubts after hearing Qiao Mengxi mention that his younger brother was called Qiao Mu, but he took it for granted that the owner of Qiao's Tavern had a profound background and could not be just an ordinary farmer's boy like Qiao Mengxi.

However, it turned out that he guessed wrong.

"Hello." Qiao Mengxi called out dissatisfied.

Zhang Qi hurriedly came back to his senses, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "You are Mengxi's younger brother, Qiao Mu, I heard she said about you."

"Hello." Qiao Mu said lightly.

Qiao's mother looked at her son dissatisfied, and said, "It should be called brother, why is this child so rude."

Qiao Mu said speechlessly, "He doesn't look as old as me."

"It should be his name brother." He muttered in a low voice.

The corners of Tang Wei's mouth curled up, and Father Qiao's face darkened.

Qiao Mengxi coughed and glared at her younger brother.

"Ah, it's okay, there's no need to be so pretentious." Zhang Qi said hastily.

No matter what he thinks about Qiao Mu, he has a good impression of the straightforward and beautiful Qiao Mengxi, and he doesn't want to affect his relationship with his girlfriend because of the old prejudice.

After the previous episode, the environment became harmonious again.

Zhang Qi talked about some interesting stories he encountered in his work, but he couldn't help but glance at Qiao Mu when he mentioned some difficult tasks.

That night, Zhang Qi didn't go home. He lived in a guest room on the first floor of Qiao's house.

The original Qiao's house didn't have enough rooms, but it was overhauled just a few years ago.

Tang Wei lived in Qiao Mu's room on the second floor, while Qiao Mu "deceived himself" and lived alone in another room on the first floor.

The night in the countryside always comes very early.

In the quiet night, there was the sound of insects singing one after another.

Around eleven o'clock, Qiao Mu, who couldn't sleep, walked out of the room, took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, brought two more glasses, and sat down under the grape arbor in the yard.

"Can I have a drink?" A voice came from behind.

"Of course." Qiao Mu said.
