Ode to Joy clearly loves you

Sunday, around 10:[-].

Andy thought it was a family gathering, but it was also a formal occasion, so she didn't choose a suit-style dress, but a slim dress, which set off her good figure. The embroidery of white flowers and green leaves is exquisite and gorgeous, showing the classical charm of the East , with simple diamond earrings, Andy's simple and atmospheric charm can be seen at a glance.

"Andy, you are so beautiful." Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer have also gotten up, but they are lazing in the living room outside the room without washing up. Seeing Andy dressed up like this, Qiu Yingying couldn't help shouting "and Is Uncle Qi going on a date?" Qiu Yingying and Zhen Zhen are now calling Wei Wei like this.

Guan Juer couldn't help being envious, "Sister Andy, you are really beautiful."

"No, Zhenzhen invited me to her family gathering." Andy held the banquet bag in his hand, "She, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to be there alone when she was busy, so she let me go."

Qu Xiaoxiao, who came back from a business trip, also came out with sleepy eyes, "Andy, are you going out dressed so beautifully?"

"Go to the party at Zhenzhen's house." Qiu Yingying walked around Andy, "I'm so envious, I heard Zhenzhen say that her brothers are all handsome."

"Then will her elder brother come?" Qu Xiaoxiao also regained her energy all of a sudden, and her drowsiness fell away. "Oh, why did she only invite you? I want to go too!" She rushed in front of Andy.

Andy hurriedly backed away. For some reason, she could bear Ming Zhen's close distance, but Xiao Qu... She was too enthusiastic, and she couldn't help it. Xiaoxiao looks a bit troubled.

"I saw a Time magazine in a store yesterday. Wow, her brother is so handsome. Well, he is so handsome. When I was in the United States, I always heard those white people talking about the Chinese. Like a nouveau riche, this Yankee who is absolutely capable of beating has swollen faces and hands, and the photos are too expensive." Those facial features, those deep-set eyes, and the upturned corners of his mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, nympho "I see Doctor Zhong Zhao, but he hasn’t agreed to be my man yet, even if I catch him, there is no rule that he can’t see other handsome guys, let alone such a world-class handsome guy, besides being handsome, he is amazing Yes, taking over the company has done a great job over the years, not inferior to those super bosses; Zhen Zhen is too biased, she just likes Andy and Miss Fan, she never thought of me, if I quit, I will go too! Di——" Qu Xiaoxiao knew that she couldn't go, but now she just spoke quickly.

"I really can't do anything about it." Andy was helpless, the phone rang, and it showed that it was Lao Tan, but she didn't answer, "Sorry, I'm leaving."

"Ah—Andy, Zhenzhen, you guys are heartless." Qu Xiaoxiao grimaced and hugged the pillow.

……

The Ming family's old house is located in a prime location in the city, and it is now a famous old building in the city that needs to be protected.

The car drove into the front yard. After Tan Zongming and Andy got out of the car, the car was arranged to leave. There really couldn't be so many cars parked in this place.

The two got out of the car and didn't go inside immediately, but couldn't help but look at it: From their position, it looked like a two-story white villa, which wasn't particularly big, but looking at this small building, there was a sense of story. A strong sense of history.

"Zong Ming, Andy."

They looked back and saw Ming Zhen wearing a white dress coming from inside. The white dress was more elegant than other colors, and the color also had a fresh feeling of summer. Today, she had her long hair up, looking very feminine. The small cape with white ruffles has also become the biggest highlight of the skirt.

Andy couldn't help admiring: Xiao Fan is the most beautiful woman she has ever seen in red, and Ming Zhen is the most suitable person for this fresh and moving white.

Tan Zongming is wearing a very formal black dress, white shirt, and black bow tie today. "There are a lot of people."

"Grandpa has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son's surname is Ming, and the other children's original surname is Li. Today, these houses are full of people, and then there is our eldest house. How can there be fewer people?" Ming Zhen He also looks very happy today, "Welcome to the Ming family."

So they followed Ming Zhen into this old house.

Compared with other courtyards, this place is actually not too small, but the number of people who came today is really not small, there are quite a few people standing in the hall.

"Zhenzhen, who is this?" Many elders and peers asked.

"My boyfriend." Ming Zhen introduced generously, "I'll take him to meet all the uncles and aunts later."

Only then did Andy realize what a big family is, and the room was full of people he had never seen before.

But today is the birthday of the little old man of the Ming family, so naturally he has to go to see Mr. Shou Xing first.

Tan Zongming knew that he was nearly a hundred years old, and when he met, he saw an old man with white beard and hair. Time had left a deep mark on him, but he still looked quite energetic.

"Grandpa, I brought him to see you." Ming Zhen stepped forward and squatted beside the old man.

The old man smiled and said "Who is it?" He pretended to be stupid on purpose.

"Tan Zongming, my boyfriend, and my good friend, Andy? Ms. He, they all came to congratulate you on your birthday." Ming Zhen introduced generously, smiling like a flower.

Tan Zongming stepped forward, "Old man, the younger generation wishes you a blessing like the sea in the East, and a life that seems to last forever."

"Old man, the younger generation congratulates you on your birthday. Tianbao Dinger, Bier Jiangu. It is not inappropriate to be exhausted, and you will be blessed by the sky. You will be blessed, and the days will not be enough; as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. As long as the life of Nanshan Qian does not collapse. Like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, everything will be inherited." Andy also eulogized a passage from the Book of Songs? A birthday poem in Xiaoya.

The old man smiled all over his face, "I can't compare to King Xuan of Zhou; thank you, Zhen Zhen knew me and brought such a beautiful girl here to celebrate my birthday." He was also humorous to the beautiful old man Andy, and when he saw Tan Zongming in a blink of an eye, At that time, his smile became a little stiff, and he didn't speak, but just watched carefully for a while.

The old man's long silence made the surrounding people gradually become silent.

Tan Zongming was not surprised by honor or disgrace.

"Have you met your parents?" The old man looked towards Ming Zhen beside him, "Nowadays, we travel all over the world, so it's rare to see him a few times a year. Go quickly." Patted her hand.

Ming Zhen still kept smiling, "Well, then I'll take them to see their parents and talk to you later."

"Okay." The old man still smiled at Ming Zhen.

Ming Zhen got up, greeted the uncles around the old man, and walked to the second floor with Tan Zongming and Andy. Her parents were on the second floor balcony.

Go up all the way to the balcony on the second floor.

Andy saw that there were many people here.

Ming Zhen took Tan Zongming by her arms, and walked towards a man and a woman on the balcony, "Dad, Mom."

Andy looked at this middle-aged man and woman dressed formally but not luxuriously. The man is Chinese. Although his temples are gray, he is still tall and straight. The woman is a blonde beauty, elegant and well-maintained.

"Min." When the blond beauty saw her daughter, she also saw Tan Zongming and Andy who came together.

The man was holding a wine glass and was chatting with another middle-aged man beside him. He turned his head when he heard his daughter's voice.

"Dad." Ming Zhen also called him "Dad Wei." and the man beside him.

Tan Zongming looked at this man: Ming Zhen's eyes are definitely inherited from his father, those eyes are bright and deep, and as Ming Zhen said, there is a half-smile expression on his face.

"Dad, Mom, this is Tan Zongming, brother said, and this beautiful lady is my good friend Andy? The beautiful blond lady is my dearest elegant and beautiful mother, Claire Bowes-Lyon."

"Uncle, aunt." Tan Zongming greeted them, "Hello."

Ming Zhen's mother, Claire, showed a satisfied expression first, "Mr. Tan, hello; I am Ming Zhen's mother, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here."

"Auntie, you are too polite." Tan Zongming used a hand kiss. "It is my honor to be invited here."

Mrs. Clare took a peek at her daughter, revealing that she thought she was doing well, and then greeted Andy generously, "Andy, it's a pleasure to meet you. I heard that Min said that her friend is beautiful and smart, and it's true."

Andy also smiled and said, "I'm lucky to be friends with your excellent daughter. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Ming Zhen's father, Ming Heng also put down the wine glass in his hand, facing "Mr. Tan Zongming, thank you for coming, it's a pleasure to meet you." He also extended his hand.

"Uncle, it's nice to meet you." The handshake ceremony is a venerable who has the right to decide, so Tan Zongming saw him stretch out his hand again.

"Dad Wei, Zong Ming, you have met. This is Andy, my good friend." Ming Zhen did not forget Wei Guoqiang, and introduced Andy to him. "She graduated from Columbia Business School, majoring in economics."

Wei Guoqiang stretched out his hand to Andy, "Miss Andy, nice to meet you."

"Uncle Wei." Andy also greeted Wei Guoqiang.

the other side.

Mrs. Claire and her husband stood together, "Mr. Tan, your name has been mentioned recently, but you are somewhat equal to the negative news with us and my wife."

"Tan is really very sorry to hear this news." Tan Zongming showed a look of disbelief. "I wonder if I can ask my aunt to tell me something. If Tan must have something, he will change it or encourage him."

"Don't you know your own shortcomings? Mr. Tan is such a person without self-knowledge?" Ming Heng still smiled, his tone was like a spring breeze, and his words were like three nines. "It seems that Shengxuan's success is due to the efforts of other members of the board of directors. "

"Success not only depends on the strength of the people, but also requires the courage of the founders." Tan Zongming calmly said, "Miss Mingzhen is really an excellent woman. Next up my own career; as a leader, I really appreciate Miss Mingzhen’s knowledge and use of people, knowing how to handle people well, it is Tan’s honor and desire to meet and fall in love with her like this, and I still remember During the blind date, she once praised her self-knowledge, which is a great recognition for Tan Mou."

"Although Ming Zhen has the ability to know people well, she is still young and has a strong subjective consciousness in knowing people, so she is inevitably biased." Ming Heng still pointed at "I can't blindly indulge her just because she is my daughter. Those of us older generations may not be all right, but we have seen more things than young people. Things can change with technology, but the truth is universal, and it is the responsibility of parents to give their children some guidance at the right time."

"I totally agree with what Mr. Ming said." Tan Zongming echoed, "You must have unique insights into many things, and your understanding of life and the world is more complete than ordinary people. She came to learn and inherit your understanding of these things, so although she is young, her excellence and success are obvious to all, and she is worthy of your pride."

"Mr. Tan admires her sister so much, and at the same time she is greedy for the vitality she creates." At this time, a person came from behind, "She should have clearly expressed that she wants to maintain the independence of her company's operation, and does not want to be dominated by other huge companies." But began to be dragged down by the lack of vitality of the organization; but business acquisitions are still going on, so obsessed, is it because of Mr. Tan's huge ambitions, or because you have lacked the ability to innovate independently, rather than relying on external forces, you can tell us about this Can you explain it?"

What Andy saw was a young man, he completely inherited Mrs. Ming's facial features, short light blond hair, dark gray eyes, black men's dress, but the shoulders and sleeves of the dress were inlaid with black glitter Pearl, a bit extravagant; looks tall, handsome, and the eyes are very impressive.
