Chapter 58: Jinjiang Dufa just happened to bring you and Chi Yuan...

There were many familiar faces at the Star Group party. Jiang Chen took a quick look and saw some of their company's top executives.

Everyone was toasting and chatting, as if they were already used to this occasion. When they saw Jiang Chen, they raised their glasses from a distance, which was considered a greeting.

Jiang Chen now represented Xingyuan, so he didn't rush over to greet them. Instead, he took Ling Qi and Zhao Wenchen to greet the director of the crew first.

Zhao Wenchen was full of curiosity about him, but he also knew that this kind of occasion was not suitable for inquiring into other people's private affairs, so he silently suppressed his doubts in his heart.

The director of the crew is surnamed Li, he is in his thirties, still very young, and good at using long shots to present stories. He has several works in the circle before, but the response was average.

Jiang Chen had taken some time to look at his shooting style, so he just praised it. Anyone would feel happy if their work was appreciated by others.

Director Li was no exception. He and Jiang Chen praised each other for their business, and he had a good impression of the two leading actors Jiang Chen brought with him. This was a good start, at least he could get to know them, and if he encountered any problems later, he would have someone to ask.

"Xingxing has a good reputation in our industry. They basically only invest and do not interfere in the filming, which is actually a good thing for us."

The chairman of Hengxing has not arrived yet. Director Li chatted with Jiang Chen. He felt a little emotional when talking about the filming. He was quite glad that Hengxing took over the business.

In today's society, with more and more capital being invested in the market, the voice of directors and screenwriters has been reduced again and again. It is rare to meet investors who do not interfere. Director Li feels that he can make a big move.

Jiang Chen smiled and wished him all the best.

Hengxing invested in more than one drama. Director Li saw an acquaintance and went over to greet him. Zhao Wenchen was taken away by his agent, and soon only Jiang Chen and Ling Qi were left here.

Jiang Chen took a sip of wine and said, "I'll take you to meet some people."

After traveling here for so long, Jiang Chen still has some popularity. But before he could even take a step, other people at the venue came over to toast him.

Those people were dressed in suits and spoke casually to Jiang Chen, asking him about his work and recent situation, with the tone of old acquaintances.

Jiang Chen had no impression of them and thought they knew he was Lu Chiyuan's assistant. In order to avoid mistakes, Jiang Chen asked Xueqiu to check the information of these people. He found that they were either high-level executives of Star or partners of Star.

Older people would speak to him in an elder manner, while those who were not as old would be more polite and compliment him, saying that he was young and promising. In short, they would chat about anything and everything, and would always find ways to praise him in the end.

Jiang Chen was confused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He responded calmly and politely. Some people saw him being so polite and smiled a little strangely, as if they were surprised and confused, but they all maintained their composure and didn't lose their temper.

"My face is almost frozen from smiling, these people are too enthusiastic."

Jiang Chen rubbed his face. He had finally gotten rid of those social engagements and pulled Ling Qi into a corner.

He knew nothing about Hengxing, but the people at Hengxing were very familiar with him. The asymmetry of information made him carefully consider every word he said, and socializing with them was very tiring.

Ling Qi had learned a lot from following him tonight. Seeing that he had drunk quite a bit of wine, he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he asked for a glass of milk to help him calm down.

The two were resting in the corner and whispering to each other when they heard a commotion in the banquet hall. It was the chairman of Hengxing who arrived. The couple were surrounded by people and had the best of both worlds.

Jiang Chen looked up. There was a crowd of people, and he couldn't see clearly. He could only see two backs.

The chairman is tall, with gray hair on his temples, but he has maintained a well-maintained figure, with a straight back, no beer belly, and a slim-fitting suit that does not make him look bloated. It can be seen that he exercises regularly and has high demands on himself.

The chairman's wife was half a head shorter than him. She wore a fitted, plain cheongsam, her long hair was tied up behind her head, and a jade hairpin was inserted in her hair. She had a gentle temperament, like a young lady from a scholarly family.

The couple have a very good relationship and they stand shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand.

Jiang Chen's heart was beating wildly for no apparent reason. He didn't know why, but when he saw the backs of these two people, he felt extremely familiar. His body instinctively wanted to get closer to them, but it seemed like there was some barrier. His feet were nailed to the ground and he couldn't move. His heart was twitching and he felt a little breathless.

He covered his chest and frowned uncomfortably. Fortunately, the strange feeling did not last long, and he took a few deep breaths and slowly recovered.

The charity gala really started after the arrival of the chairman and his wife of Hengxing. Hengxing's donations were used for welfare homes in the early years, and later gradually expanded to public welfare. Because of its good reputation, many people naturally came to support it.

After the charity gala started, a few more people came. Jiang Chen took a quick look and found that they were acquaintances.

The lively atmosphere in the venue froze briefly because of the arrival of the newcomer, followed by some whispering sounds.

"What is he doing here in Xingxing's place?"

"Am I seeing right? The one next to him is the lady from the Lu family?"

"You are out of date. That person has nothing to do with the Lu family anymore."

"Isn't this just to make things worse? That's enough."

The voices in the conference hall were a bit unhappy. No matter whether it was Universe or Star, the faces of the top leaders of both sides were not very good. However, it was only for a moment. After all, the host was still in front of them, and there was no need for them to show bad faces just because of the guests.

Jiang Chen understood that people in the world were unhappy with Gu Tingsen, but he didn't expect that Hengxing also had a bad impression of him.

Gu Tingsen didn't care, he walked straight to the chairman and his wife, put his arm around Shen Zhiyi's waist and toasted them, saying that he also wanted to make a contribution to charity, and his words revealed his intention to cooperate with Hengxing.

The chairman played Tai Chi with him and affirmed his support for charity, but was vague about cooperation and refused to give a direct answer.

Jiang Chen stood far away and could only see the general idea. In his mind, he asked Snowball about the cooperation with Star.

[A group as large as Hengxing should not be short of partners. Which companies are it close to? ]

Snowball flipped through the documents and paused for a moment.

[Stellar's largest partner is Universe.]

Jiang Chen: [? ]

This is not Jiang Chen’s first day at Huanyu. He has been working for so long and has handled a lot of documents, but he has never mentioned stars.

[Before, the original novel didn’t mention it, and the plot didn’t unfold, so I couldn’t get to know it? 】

[There was indeed no information about stars before.]

The world map that Snowball obtained was incomplete. This star was gradually unlocked after Jiang Chen came into contact with it. Before that, it was completely black.

Jiang Chen felt it was strange, but he couldn't figure out the problem for a while, so he put the idea aside for the time being.

In his opinion, it was a good thing that Universe had a strong partner like Star. As for someone who jumped out to poach people, if he had opened his eyes and looked at the Universe executives at the venue, he would have known that the relationship between the two parties could not be broken up with a few words.

Those who want to poach Lu Chiyuan’s partners don’t even consider their own capabilities.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Jiang Chen's smile, he just treated it as watching a show.

He and Ling Qi stood at the side. There were not many people around. He was planning to take everyone away when the banquet was almost over.

On the other hand, Gu Tingsen did not want to give up the opportunity for cooperation. Knowing that Hengxing was entering the entertainment industry, he said that he knew a few people in the circle and tried to see if Hengxing was willing to cooperate.

The chairman was very well-mannered and smiled, "We old couple don't understand these things. We only invested a few to test the waters because our children liked them."

The implication is that it means looking after children, which is not their main business.

Gu Tingsen frowned slightly. He knew that Hengxing had a prince, but he was very low-key and there was almost no news about him from the outside world. How could he want to enter the entertainment industry without any news?

Could he possibly get things done quietly by himself?

Gu Tingsen was met with a soft nail, and he was a little embarrassed, so he said with a fake smile: "I wonder if your master is here today?"

The chairman looked towards a corner and said, "Of course."

Gu Tingsen followed his gaze, his pupils suddenly shrank, a strange look appeared on his face, and he was slightly startled.

Jiang Chen put down his wine glass and prepared to leave with Ling Qi. He had just taken two steps when he saw the crowd making way for him. The chairman and his wife of Hengxing walked towards him, and Gu Tingsen followed behind with Shen Zhiyi on his arm, his expression unpredictable.

Jiang Chen stopped and saw the two people clearly. His mind went blank for a moment. Two familiar faces. His heartbeat became uncontrollable again. The suffocating feeling came over him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Snowball's plot radar was triggered, and it immediately sent the message to Jiang Chen.

[Chenchen, they are the original body's parents, Jiang Tian and Xia He. ]

【What? 】

Jiang Chen's head buzzed and his eyes widened slightly.

In the original novel, he was just an ordinary second-generation rich man. How come he suddenly became a rich man? And it was a group that could be ranked with Huanyu and Linfeng.

Jiang Chen was in a daze when Xia He stepped forward and gently put her arm around his shoulders, smiling softly, "Chenchen, why didn't you say hello to your parents when you came?"

Xia He's voice was gentle, exactly the same as what Jiang Chen heard on the phone that day.

His throat choked slightly, and his thoughts were a little confused. Sometimes it was the vague memory of the original body, and sometimes it was the vague description of the original book.

With this family background, could the original body be a security guard for Lu Chiyuan?

But if the two families were not well matched, the parents of the two families would not be so familiar with each other.

Jiang Chen couldn't tell which one was real.

He looked up at the couple in front of him. He could easily find similarities with himself in their faces, his mother's eyes and eyebrows, his father's cheerfulness, and the unbreakable blood relationship beating in his body.

The family affection that he had forgotten or never had surged at this moment. He couldn't help but feel a sore nose and red eyes, and his heart was filled with unspeakable grievances. It was as if he was a wanderer who had been wandering for a long time and finally returned to his parents' wings after going through thousands of mountains and rivers, and was able to unload his fatigue and no longer have to carry everything by himself.

Xia He noticed his mood change and joked, "Are you happy that we're back, or are you sad that we didn't call you when we got back?"

Jiang Chen sniffed and said, "I just... missed you guys so much."

The original body also has few memories of his parents, and it can be seen that his parents are not always around.

Xia He felt sorry for her son. She raised her hand and touched his head, saying, "Mom and Dad still have some work to do. We'll go back to finish it this time and then take a break. It's a good time to take care of your and Chi Yuan's affairs."

Jiang Tian stepped forward and said, "Your uncle Lu called me a few days ago to arrange a time to come. They are about to finish their work overseas. Isn't this a coincidence? It's a good time for us to get together."

Jiang Chen was still immersed in the strange and bitter family affection. When he heard his parents' words and looked up, his mind was confused for a moment. What did they mean by settling the matter between him and Lu Chiyuan?

"Why didn't Chi Yuan come with you today?" Jiang Tian looked around and indeed did not see Lu Chi Yuan. Standing next to Jiang Chen at the moment was a young man he did not know.

He turned his eyes to Ling Qi and looked at him with some scrutiny. Although there was a smile on his face, his gaze was particularly sharp.

Jiang Chen was interrupted by him, and his thoughts turned around and he explained: "He has something to go back to the old house, and I came to the party because of work..."

Jiang Chen's voice lowered. His original personality changed from an ordinary rich second generation to a famous prince. He said that he came to his family's charity party because of work, which sounded strange.

Fortunately, my parents accepted his statement and did not ask any further questions.

Xia He hadn't seen her child for a long time, so she grumbled a few more words, and her words were full of apologies for not being able to be with Jiang Chen. Over the past year or so, she and Jiang Tian were mostly out, and the time she spent with Jiang Chen was very limited.

If she hadn't thought that Jiang Chen was with Lu Chiyuan and they both needed private space, she would really want Jiang Chen to go with them.

The stranger's care made Jiang Chen feel more deeply about his parents' existence, but also made him more and more confused.

His parents' understanding was different from his and Lu Chiyuan's, and the same was true for those who had just approached him. They were polite to him because they knew his identity.

But he, the person involved, knew nothing about it.

Which information is correct?

Xia He and Jiang Tian still had to attend social events, so they only stayed with Jiang Chen for a short while before returning to socializing.

Jiang Chen greeted them and left first. The couple did not stop him and told him to be careful on the road. Their attitude was very natural, as if their original incarnation had done the same thing before and they were not surprised.

Ling Qi followed Jiang Chen out of the banquet hall, looking at Jiang Chen from time to time along the way, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Jiang Chen pressed the elevator button and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't keep it in your heart."

Ling Qi coughed lightly and said embarrassedly: "I just didn't expect Assistant Jiang to be the young master of Hengxing."

Jiang Chen sighed with a complicated expression. He hadn't expected this. He just found out about it.

I just don't know if Lu Chiyuan knows his origins...
