Chapter 124

The dishes were served, and the mahogany round table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Since it was a banquet specially held to celebrate Chen Lanjun's graduation, all the dishes chosen were her favorites. You could often see red and green peppers scattered among the bowls and plates.

"Xiao Shao, what dishes do you like? Order some more." Zheng Mei asked.

Shao Qinghe sat upright and waved his hand slightly: "No need to add more dishes, I can eat anything."

In fact, he didn't eat anything at all.

Zheng Mei saw clearly that the young man had been paying attention to their attitude, answering questions, and explaining the situation. Occasionally, Chen Lanjun's eyes stayed on a dish a little further away from her for a few seconds, and Shao Qinghe would quietly turn the plate and slowly move the dish in front of Chen Lanjun.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Zhisheng had asked almost all the questions he needed to ask. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "Xiao Shao, can you drink?"

Zheng Mei glanced at him. Her husband didn't drink much on weekdays, so it was rare for him to actively persuade others to drink.

Shao Qinghe nodded: "Sure."

"Well," Chen Zhisheng called to the waiter, "Do you have any white wine? Bring me a bottle."

When the wine was brought up, Shao Qinghe drank it first as a gesture of respect.

After drinking the third cup, Chen Lanjun couldn't help but say, "Dad, eat more vegetables."

Chen Zhisheng curled his lips: "Huh, what, he can't drink?"

“Yes.”

The next second, Shao Qinghe immediately answered.

Chen Lanjun wanted to say something, but Zheng Mei shook her head. It was obvious that her father was in a complicated state of mind. The more he protected her, the bigger his reaction would be.

After drinking a few glasses, Chen Zhisheng's face had turned red.

He raised his head and drank a glass of wine, put the glasses on the table, and said, "Xiao Shao, I roughly understand it. Your family is considered to be very good in Hong Kong, and you are also a young master. Second sister must have her reasons for liking you. As her father, I will also try to treat you as my own family, but there are some things I have to say in advance."

"Uncle, please speak."

"Our Lanjun has been a treasure in the family since she was a child. No matter who it is, even the king or the old man, we will not allow anyone to bully her."

Chen Zhisheng stared at Shao Qinghe with a straight face: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Shao Qinghe nodded: "I understand."

As if he was worried about the sincerity of his promise, Chen Zhisheng stared at him for a long time, and only nodded slightly after making sure that he was sincere at this moment.

"I remember that."

Then, he suddenly lay down on the table.

Everyone was startled and leaned over to take a look, and found that Chen Zhisheng was snoring.

"He's really drunk." Zheng Mei said helplessly after confirming it.

It was a rare occasion for Chen Zhisheng to get drunk, and when he woke up it was already early morning the next day.

"Finally you woke up. Why did you have to compete with Xiao Shao?"

A glass of water was handed to him and Zheng Mei looked at him and said.

Chen Zhisheng sighed: "I don't know... Anyway, the emotions are very complicated."

"No matter what, she is my daughter, and that will never change." Zheng Mei dragged a chair and sat next to her. "But I also understand that Xiao Shao is really... in very good condition."

On the one hand, they are happy for their daughter, but on the other hand, they are worried about the prospective son-in-law who has such high standards. It is easy to say harsh words, but as parents, they do not have the strength to compete with the other party, which is also a very objective situation.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was somewhat solemn, so they called their eldest daughter Feng Jun to ask for her opinion.

"The person seems to be a good person at the moment, but their family situation is very complicated."

Feng Jun told her parents everything about the Shao family. God knows how long she had been holding it in. Ever since she caught the second sister and the eldest son of the Shao family, she has been focusing on collecting information related to the Shao family. Even her employees know that the current boss has a new hobby, listening to gossip about wealthy families.

After hearing this, Zheng Mei and Chen Zhisheng looked at each other. This family's affairs were indeed quite messy.

After thinking it over again and again, he finally picked an opportunity to find Chen Lanjun.

The three of them tiptoed into Chen Lanjun's study. You looked at each other, hoping that one of you would speak up first - they all knew that Chen Lanjun was very opinionated, and they were afraid that if they spoke directly, it would arouse her disgust, so she would insist on imitating Liang Zhu.

After staring at each other for a while, Zheng Mei was helpless and opened her mouth to speak: "Second sister, about Xiao Shao..."

"I roughly know what you want to say," Chen Lanjun smiled, "because I have thought about all this before. Now I am dating him, and I like him as a person. If I really plan to get married one day, I will have to consider his family. But his family is a problem he needs to solve. On the other hand, if he can't solve it, then it's fate."

She gathered the documents on the table and aligned them vertically on the table: "I don't have the energy or interest to go through all the difficulties and conquer some wealthy family, or play the role of a perfect wife of a wealthy family."

"I'm more interested in becoming a rich team myself."

Chen Lanjun clasped her hands together and made a pleading expression: "This is a critical moment for me. I need your help."

So, before entering the house, my mind is still full of things about my boyfriend's future in-laws, and when leaving the house, all I can remember are the various supervision matters.

Chen Lanjun assigned responsibilities to Zheng Mei, Chen Zhisheng, Fengjun, Xiaomei and even Xixi. Some were to monitor the restaurant, some were to monitor the factory, some were to inquire about consumer reactions... Everyone had their own job and no labor was wasted.

"No, we're just going to ignore Shao Qinghe's affairs for the time being?" Feng Jun was still a little dizzy.

"Why should I care? She's protecting me." Zheng Mei said, "Besides, what my second sister said is right. Making money is a serious matter. I have money now, so why should I care so much? If you love each other, then be together. If you don't love each other, then forget it."

Feng Jun was still a little hesitant: "But, the Shao family is very powerful. What if they are unhappy and hinder my second sister's career?"

That's how the TV shows she watched were written.

"Big sister, this is not Hong Kong after all," Zheng Mei said with a smile, "How can any wealthy family still dominate the land of China? Huang Shiren was even shot."

"Ah, that's right." Feng Jun also reacted. After staying there for a long time, she couldn't help but attach too much importance to the wealthy family. In fact, if you think about it carefully, as long as the second sister doesn't change her nationality and marry into the Shao family in Hong Kong, they can't do anything to her.

As for the emotional injury... Feng Jun thought about it and felt that her second sister didn't seem like she would suffer any loss in this regard. In fact, it was more likely that Mr. Shao would be heartbroken because of this.

Forget it, the most important thing right now is to help the second sister get through this special Olympics. As a family, they will unwaveringly support the second sister and stick together through thick and thin.

The Chen family figured it out. After all, the economic base determines the superstructure.

Making money is the first priority!
