Firepower is king

Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night.

Gaoguang is developed. Although it is not particularly developed and has not reached the level of a rich man, it is enough for his family of origin and the circle of relatives and friends of his family of origin.

Gao Guang booked a large private room in the best hotel he could think of, and then asked his parents to invite all the relatives they could.

It turned out that Gao Guang rarely participated in such banquets. To be precise, his family had never entertained guests in such a nice place.

But now, Gao Guang is trying to save face for his parents, so he must keep a high profile.

"Auntie, you are here, brother, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

Gao Guang and his father sat there to greet the guests. The first ones to arrive were his aunt, uncle, and cousin.

After becoming prosperous, many people treat guests to show off their wealth, but not many people bring two strong foreign men with them.

Mike and Francisco are not here to be guests, they are the face of Gaoguang.

Gao Guang's cousin was two years older than him, and he was doing well. Anyway, he joined a good private company, so he bought a car after working.

Now Gao Guang's cousin has the key in his hand. Everyone's conditions are similar. We can't afford a house for the time being. Buying a car is a prestige.

It's just that Gao Guang's cousin drives a small Honda, a cheap car, the kind that costs more than 100,000 yuan. It used to make Gao Guang envious, but now, sorry, Gao Guang came prepared this time.

It’s not aimed at anyone, all the relatives who come here are serious relatives. Some of them are really kind to Gao Guang. Such relatives are welcome by Gao Guang. Some of them just pretend to be fine in front of him and show off their superiority. Such relatives will show it to him once. I will shut up from now on, and I will never dare to pretend in front of my parents.

Relatives are the same all over the world. Some are close and some are far away. A close blood relationship does not necessarily mean a good relationship, and a distant blood relationship does not necessarily mean a bad relationship.

Just like Gao Guang's cousin, the relationship between the two brothers was not bad at first. We couldn't say that they were close, but they couldn't say that they were far apart either. They only saw each other during holidays and festivals, and had meals and so on. But the problem was that Gao Guang couldn't bear that his aunt was in trouble. If you have nothing to do, compare your own children with him. Comparing each other, you have to talk about how promising your son is, what a good job he has, how wonderful the car he bought is, in short, just compare the highlights. .

When you are young, you fight for me, and when you get older, you fight for your children. Whoever's children have a promising future will have a bright face, and whose children have no future will lose their reputation.

So this kind of thing is too normal and definitely not a deep hatred. However, when Gao Guang was just expelled from school, the biggest pressure came from his aunt and cousin.

So is it normal for Gao Guang to seize the opportunity to show off?

Of course, relatives are relatives after all. If someone ridicules Gao Guang after something happens to him, he will use Gao Guang as a target for nothing. Such relatives do not have any bad intentions. From the perspective of relatives, just It can be said that they hate iron but cannot become steel, and there is nothing else that can be said.

There are also some relatives who are really close to each other, and they usually pay more attention to the highlights. It is natural for such relatives to stay in the same house, and they will become closer in the future.

So Gao Guang really doesn't want to forcefully pretend to be a slap in the face, he just wants to let his relatives know what he is doing, so that his parents will not have to face so many rumors in the future, so that his parents can speak tough in front of their relatives in the future. , can stand tall and be respected by these people in the circle of relatives and friends.

So Gao Guang wants to gather all these relatives, meet together, and solve the problem at once.

"Xiaoguang just came back."

Gao Guang was already thinking about how to slap him in the face, but his cousin grabbed his arm with a look of surprise on his face, and then asked very sincerely: "How do you feel over there? Can you get used to eating?"

Gao Guang suddenly relented.

Everyone who came was a visitor, and the relatives who came just after receiving the invitation seemed to be willing to give face. Otherwise, it would be a bad year, and it would not be easy to gather this large group of relatives.

My cousin likes to show off his car when he has nothing to do. It's just that the young man is a little excited about buying a car for the first time. Forget it, forget it.

"It's okay. There are a lot of Chinese dishes in the United States now, and they're quite authentic. There's no problem with eating."

You have to pretend when you should. This is to save face for your parents, but forget about being slapped in the face. After all, Gao Guang is not the good-for-nothing protagonist in the novel. Everyone wants to step on him and make the relatives and friends around him miserable. There seems to be no good people here.

After chatting casually with his cousin, Gao Guang pointed to a table and said, "Brother, you and my aunt sit down first. Why didn't my uncle come?"

"Your uncle works overtime at night. Xiaoguang, you are very promising now. What do these two...foreigners do?"

"Oh, they are my friends. They are here to play with me for a few days. Auntie, you will sit down first."

Gao Guang has two aunts, one uncle, and one aunt and one uncle. There are people from every family here today, but not all of them are here, but this is enough. Anyway, it’s okay to know that he’s got the upper hand. .

Originally, Gao Guang was holding a breath in his heart, and he wanted to find a chance to let it out, but now, he suddenly felt that it was quite boring.

To put it bluntly, there is still no deep hatred. If there is real hatred, I won’t be able to invite him to this dinner tonight.

So the guests all sat down, and as soon as the food was eaten and the wine was drunk, the matter seemed to be over.

"Brother-in-law, I salute you. If you are happy today, you should drink more."

Gao Weiguo was very happy as they drank and drank, so he must be drunk today.

Conlan was also very happy. She basically explained Gao Guang's situation clearly. The relatives here all know that Gao Guang took over a company in the United States and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in less than six months.

It seems that there is no need to slap him in the face at all. The anger in my heart has come out, and my parents seem to have gained face. They are extremely satisfied and enjoy the current atmosphere.

Gao Guang originally wanted to buy a luxury car and spent more than one million yuan to buy a luxury car for his father to drive. He was already optimistic about the car, but now, he felt that it was not necessary.

If you buy this car, it may not be the beginning of a happy life, but you may fall into trouble.

It didn't seem to be the effect he wanted, it seemed different from what he imagined. Twenty-four-year-old Gao Guang found that this life was different from what was written in the book.

Ordinary people live ordinary lives, don't have so many things to do, and are ignored by everyone. How much of a failure would they be as a human being?

Forget it, I bought the things that I should buy, such as buying a big house for my parents to live in first, buying a car so that my parents will have a means of transportation in the future, and it also has the most intuitive face, and then let's leave it at that.

Gao Guang said to Mike who was sitting next to him: "You two go play tomorrow. I have nothing to do here. I will rest at home for a few more days. You and Francisco go to play, walk around, and see us." great rivers and mountains.”

Mike said helplessly: "I can't speak, and it's no fun to play."

"I'll find you a translator and a tour guide, and I'll accompany you throughout the whole journey. Then it'll be fine."

Mike was quite moved when he heard this, but Francisco said: "Boss, don't you need us to follow you?"

"No."

Gao Guang now wants to simply stay with his family and enjoy family happiness. He looked at his relatives and whispered: "No need, no need."

Facing the compliments from his relatives, Gao Guang suddenly felt that it was quite boring, and he had no feeling at all about the treatment he received from the stars.

After experiencing life and death, I have seen the outside world, and the pattern is different. At this moment, listening to what the people around me are discussing, Gao Guang can no longer integrate into it.

At this moment, Gao Guang's phone rang.

The call was from Danny.

Gao Guang stood up and said, "I have some business matters to deal with. I'll take a call. You guys have a drink first."

"Hey Danny, what's up."

He and Danny must speak English, and the moment Gao Guang answered the phone and spoke, the originally lively crowd suddenly fell silent.

"How does it feel to be home."

"Very good, very good."

Danny exhaled, and then he said helplessly: "Then I'm afraid I have to interrupt your vacation. It's like this. We have a partner in South Africa who urgently needs a professional security team, but it must be an elite team. , I originally planned to wait for you to come back to discuss this matter, but the situation in South Africa is not stable now, so I must tell you in advance. "

"Now? Are you in such a hurry?"

"There are about twenty days left, but it's up to twenty days. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared. I have to tell you, are you interested in this mission?"

Gao Guang said without hesitation: "How much does it cost and what is it?"

"Protecting a factory, a mineral processing plant, the basic quotation is US$500,000 per month. If something really happens, there will be additional subsidies and allowances. This is a packaged business, more of a security business. We are fighting The group is short of manpower in this area, so we want to outsource it to you, but we won’t charge any fees.”

Five hundred thousand a month, the only requirement is to be responsible for the safety of the factory, but this kind of business can't just go to the local security company, why should we go to King's Defense.

Just when Gao Guang was about to ask, Danny explained. He whispered: "The factory is in South Africa, but the boss is an American, and the security company in South Africa cannot be trusted. He must have an elite team from the United States, because this factory is refining The gold produced every year is worth more than 200 million US dollars, so you know, such a factory must be protected very professionally. "

This is a big business, Gao Guang said without hesitation: "We can do this business, uh, when can I go there?"

"It needs to be handed over. Let's do this. After half a month, you come to our company headquarters to sign a contract. I'll give you another half month. Is that enough?"

Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "Half a month? That's enough. Thank you for your consideration. Then we'll see you in half a month."

Looking at the title, I thought it would be really boring to pretend to be a slap in the face in front of relatives and friends.

The plot of returning home can be revealed in a hurry. I had no intention of starting the plot of going home to visit relatives. Even if something happened, I would explain it later.

The plot during this period did not go astray, but it was indeed greatly simplified. One reason was that I didn’t want to change the plot, and the other was that it was boring, so I hurriedly entered the new map.
