But for the sake of his family, he can violate his principles.

For him, this was already a huge sacrifice. Unfortunately, Chen Sheng would never know this.

After filling Chen Ya's glass, Chen Sheng raised his glass and said:

"Come on, let's all have a drink together and wish our Chen Hai to successfully pass the Beichen review and become a member of the Beichen system!"

Lu Ruixiang interrupted, "I'd also like to congratulate Chen Ya on returning to the family. We have a new member."

"Yes, yes, yes," Chen Sheng said happily, "Double happiness."

"Double happiness." Chen Hai also raised his glass in a calm tone.

"Dry."

"Dry."

Chen Ya took a sip and everyone put down their cups.

Chen Sheng said to Chen Ya, "You should learn more from your brother. He can now proudly call himself a member of the Beichen School. How much more impressive will that be if he tells others about it?"

"It can't be considered Beichen system, it can only be said to be close to it." Chen Hai said modestly.

"Just getting close to it is considered Beichen School, how many people want to get close but can't even get there." Chen Sheng glared, "Look at that Lu Pinyuan, he's always boasting that he's from the Beichen School. In fact, to say he's just doing odd jobs for the Beichen School is a compliment."

Chen Haiyourong raised his glass: "In this generation of the Lu family, there are really not many people I can look up to."

Lu Qianzi held her face and said:

"Brother Chen Hai is truly amazing. Wow, the Beichen system was something we couldn't even dream of before. It was just a legend among legends. But today, I suddenly discovered that the legend is right next to us. It's exciting just thinking about it!"

"That's right." Chen Sheng nodded, then turned back and nodded at Chen Ya. "Look, your two destinies are different because you're on different platforms. Don't you need to learn?"

Chen Ya nodded: "That makes sense."

Chen Sheng said, "In the Records of the Grand Historian, there's an article called 'The Biography of Li Si.' Have you read it? It says that when Li Si was young, he saw mice in the toilet. They were so thin that they were just skeletons. Later, he went to the rice warehouse and found that all the mice there were as fat as cats, with sleek fur. What do you think he said?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Qianzi asked, tilting her head.

"He lamented that a person's success depends on the environment he lives in. They are both mice, but one is in the warehouse and the other in the toilet. There is a world of difference. This shows how important the platform is."

After that, he said:

"Look, what a huge platform Beijing is. It's incomparable to Jiangcheng. It's not that you can make more money in Beijing, but when you are in Beijing, what you see and hear is different. The higher you stand, the farther you can see. Over time, your experience will be completely different from that of someone from a smaller place. Don't you agree?"

Chen Hai nodded slightly, as he understood this very well. But Chen Ya remained indifferent and took a sip himself.

Chen Sheng talked for a long time, just wanting to hint to Chen Ya to toast Chen Hai and say something nice. That way, it would be much easier to ask Chen Ya to work for him and let the younger brother take care of the older brother.

As a result, this kid just refused to listen.

How can you just sit there and drink by yourself?

From this, Chen Sheng realized that Chen Ya's claim that he didn't drink wasn't a lie; he really didn't drink. Not only did he not drink, he also didn't use drinking as an excuse to build relationships with others.

Lu Ruixiang was looking at Chen Sheng with a gloomy face, but Chen Sheng didn't notice.

She and Chen Sheng have been married for many years, and she knows exactly what Chen Sheng is thinking and what he is thinking.

However, she had already told Chen Sheng to consider Chen Ya's feelings and not to always compare him with Chen Hai.

Chen Sheng agreed at that time, but forgot about it the moment he turned around.

“Ahem!”

After coughing twice, Chen Sheng finally realized that his wife was about to speak, so he decisively shut up, looked at his wife humbly, and waited for her to speak.

"I asked you to prepare a gift before. How are you doing?" Lu Ruixiang said in a high voice.

Usually when she was checking Chen Sheng's work, she would use this tone. If she was not satisfied with what Chen Sheng did, she would lose her temper on the spot and not give Chen Sheng any face at all.

Having been married for many years, Chen Sheng naturally knew what this tone meant. He did not dare to neglect it and quickly replied:

"Everything is well prepared. The Yuanhu family, the Zhankui family, and the Haohai family, three families of three levels, the gifts are ready, just waiting to be taken over."

After listening to this, Lu Ruixiang said nothing, leaning forward to Chen Ya:

"Chen Ya, you've returned home, haven't you? I think it would be best if you follow your father and visit some relatives to get to know them. From now on, you'll be considered a member of the Lu family, and no one will dare bully you outside."

Chen Ya nodded and asked, "Do you want to meet all the relatives?"

"Not all relatives, mainly the two key relatives." Lu Ruixiang said.

"First, let's talk about Lu Yuanhu's family." Lu Ruixiang introduced him, "Lu Yuanhu is the second son of Old Master Lu. The three brothers of the Lu family, Yuanlong, Yuanhu, and Yuanbao, are the core of the Lu family."

"Now that the Yuanlong family has fallen on hard times, Lu Ningna is still young, and all matters concerning the family head are handled by Yuan Hu, so he definitely wants to meet her."

"The second family is Lu Zhankui's. Lu Zhankui is Old Master Lu's younger brother. He holds a very high position in the family, so he definitely cannot be ignored."

"The third family is Lu Haohai's. His family is quite close to ours, so we should go meet him as well."

After that, Lu Ruixiang said, "So, you can visit these three families tomorrow and give them gifts in your name. What do you think?"

Chen Ya nodded: "Okay."

He doesn't have to worry about it anyway.

Lu Ruixiang turned to Chen Hai and said, "How about you go with your brother tomorrow and tell him about your joining the Beichen system?"
