Chapter 407 0406 [Deal! 】
to be honest,
One cannot be rootless.
Nothing can stand.
This is also why the emperors of the past dynasties, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, established a genealogy after they became emperors. His father and grandfather who farmed and herded cattle were almost linked to Zhu Xi, a famous celebrity who could not be beaten, and they were called the descendants of Zhu Shengren.
When Shi Taigong and others saw Shi Zhijian coming, they lined up to welcome him.
It was in stark contrast to the last time Shi Zhijian accompanied his elder sister Shi Yufeng back.
In the living room.
Taigong Shi deliberately asked people to display the ancestral tablets of the Shi family.
Shi Zhijian glanced at it, but he didn't expect that his ancestor was "Shi Shouxin", the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Shi Zhijian secretly said hello, luckily it wasn't "Shi Jingtang".
At this time, Shi Zhijian took the seat, Taigong Shi sat with him, and the second and third uncles sat with him below.
The other families and others stood respectfully aside, looking very solemn and serious.
It can be said that everyone treated Shi Zhijian very highly.
After making tea and water, everyone chatted.
Taigong Shi first went back to the ancestors of the Shi family, and the second uncle and the third uncle also had a chat about each other's business.
What kind of person Shi Zhijian was, he could tell right away, talking about his ancestors was to make himself recognize his ancestors, and talking about business was to help him out.
Shi Zhijian was also unwilling to play tricks with them.
"Grandfather, Second Uncle, Third Uncle! How about this, let me clarify with everyone!" Shi Zhijian sipped his tea and put it down.
"It's okay for me to recognize my ancestors. After all, I also want to find a name. I don't care whether my surname is Shi or other surnames. To put it bluntly, I need a genealogy. A genealogy can bring a large group of people every year. perform sacrifices."
"No way, the situation in Hong Kong is like this now. Those tycoons recognize this kind of thing. You have no family or clan. You are rootless duckweed. And you also need my help. The second uncle's medicinal material business, and the three I can help with Uncle's freight business! As long as you don't go too far, if you ask me for something, I will definitely not stand idly by!"
"To put it more bluntly, we are a deal with each other. You give me a title for me to use, and I will extend my hand to help the Shi family expand their family! In this way, you are good, and I am good! How about it? Everyone Is there anything else to say?"
Shi Zhijian's words made everyone feel embarrassed.
Shi Taigong and his two sons looked at each other, even more embarrassed.
No one expected Shi Zhijian to speak so bluntly.
Taigong Shi is sincere, and thinks that Shi Zhijian's actions are unreasonable.
What do you think of the ancestors of the Shi family?
Take advantage of?
The second uncle and the third uncle felt that it was very good that Shi Zhijian could speak his mind so frankly.
Everyone is for the benefit of each other, why do you have to say it so openly?
As Shi Zhijian said, this is just a transaction.
Just when the atmosphere was embarrassing, someone sent a message outside the door: "Master, the mayor is here!"
"Ah, what? The mayor is here?" Mr. Shi was surprised.
The second and third uncles were also moved.
Before they could stand up, someone sent another message: "My lord, Mr. Zuo is here!"
"What? Even the senator is here?"
At this time, no matter how stupid people are, they will understand that the reason why these big shots from Tsuen Wan District are here is definitely not to visit them.
Although Shi Taigong is highly respected, he is only a retired teacher.
Although the second uncle and the third uncle are beautiful, they are only small local businessmen.
Big figures like the town mayor and district councilors are unattainable for them.
"Please hurry up!"
Before Taigong Shi finished speaking, he saw Mr. Zuo George Zuo and a short and fat man walking in with a smile.
Mr. Shi, his second uncle and third uncle rushed forward to greet him: "Mr. Zuo! Mayor Wang! Your presence is truly magnificent!"
Zuo Qiaozhi and the mayor of Wang didn't seem to see them at all, they passed by them and clasped their fists towards Shi Zhijian, saying, "Sorry, Mr. Shi, excuse me! Today is too busy, we haven't had time to talk to you talk!"
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "Please sit down!"
Zuo Qiaozhi and Mayor Wang looked surprised, and hurriedly took the seats of Shi Taigong and others.
This sudden turn of events made Taigong Shi and the others extremely embarrassed.
Is this still your home? !
Do we still exist?
Don't even look at us!
Everyone sat down again and chatted again.
Zuo Qiaozhi and Mayor Wang came here because they saw Shi Zhiqiang's strong interpersonal relationship today. For those in power in their small place, whether it is Huo Yingdong or Xu Guangzhou, wanting to pinch them to death is like Squeeze an ant to death.
Now that Shi Zhijian, the eldest son of the Huo family, and the third son of the Xu family are developing real estate on their site, of course they have to come over to show their loyalty.
Seeing that they were so enthusiastic, Shi Zhijian was too embarrassed to refuse, so he chatted with them for a while.
for a moment.
The host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Shi Zhijian also said that he had something to do, and the real estate company was very busy just now, so he had to leave first.
Everyone didn't dare to keep him, and respectfully sent Shi Zhijian away.
After Shi Zhijian left, Mayor Wang became confident first, coughed and said to his second and third uncles that there were still two places in the local chamber of commerce co-organized in the town, and he wanted to invite the second and third uncles to join.
For the second and third uncles, this is a great joy.
Not everyone can enter the local chamber of commerce casually. In the past, they didn't squeeze in through the back door, but they didn't expect to get it easily now.
The two immediately expressed their gratitude to Mayor Wang.
Here Zuo Qiaozhi told Shi Taigong that since Shi Taigong used to teach in private schools, he had rich experience and high morals, and hoped that Shi Taigong could continue to "use his remaining heat" to serve as the new principal of Tsuen Wan Primary School.
Shi Taigong never expected that such a big stuffed pie would fall on his head, and he was so surprised that he almost couldn't stand still.
He has worked hard in teaching and educating people all his life, and after retiring, he just eats his fill and waits to die, with nothing to do. He never thought that he would be able to come back out of the rivers and lakes when he was old.
Zuo Qiaozhi praised Taigong Shi's treasured sword for being young and old, and finally said a few words of encouragement, "The Shi family has produced a large number of talents, and Tsuen Wan will rely on you Shi family in the future!"
Of course, Shi Taigong and others can tell that the talents here definitely do not refer to them.
So after respectfully sending Councilor Zuo and Mayor Wang away, Taigong Shi asked someone to take out the tablet of Shi Zhijian's old man Shi Dafu immediately.
Shi Dafu, the shoemaker who was always looked down upon by Taigong Shi and ridiculed by everyone in the Shi family, his spirit tablet was placed in the most conspicuous place of the ancestral archway.
Taigong Shi asked people to set up offerings such as fruits, lit joss sticks, and said to his two sons, "Hurry up! Hurry up and worship your eldest brother!"
Then he turned around and announced to everyone in the Shi family: "Pass my words, from today on, no one can move this tablet! And - worship three times a day!"
