When the other people at the table heard the name "Mr. Chen", they stood up one after another, making the sound of chairs rubbing against the ground. Zhou Guoqiang thought that this must be Mr. Chen. He thought he was some kind of pretentious top second-generation rich man.
A simple white shirt tucked into black casual pants, with an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on the wrist, is a simple outfit, but not everyone can wear a white shirt to this effect, because it can easily expose various body flaws.
However, Mr. Shen wore it to make him look tall and straight, with long limbs, especially on his chest, abdomen and arms, where you could see signs of exercise.
Rare, rare.
"I happened to be eating here and heard a familiar voice, so I came over to take a look."
Shen Yuan smiled.
Gu Dongliang immediately invited: "Since we have such a good relationship with Mr. Shen, why don't we have dinner together, as long as you don't mind."
"Is it appropriate?"
Shen Yuan asked, thinking to himself, you old man, don’t regret it next time.
"What's inappropriate about this?"
Gu Dongliang snapped his fingers at the waiter, and the waiter understood and went to get a chair.
Director Shen really gave me face. He was willing to entertain me with dinner even though we just met today. CEO Zhao Donghua couldn't even invite him to dinner today.
Gu Dongliang thought proudly in his heart, and the smile on his face became even wider. He began to introduce Shen Yuan: "This is my son, Gu Junchen. Junchen, when I was chatting with Mr. Shen this morning, Mr. Shen said he knew you. Now that you see it, you should remember it."
Gu Junchen was a little confused, he had no impression at all, but since his father said so, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, I have seen it."
"It's not good to lie, kid." Shen Yuan patted his shoulder.
Gu Junchen's expression froze, and even his father Gu Dongliang's eyelids twitched, but he reacted quickly and continued to introduce Zhou Guoqiang and Zhou Peiwei who were sitting across the table.
"This one is from Anke Innovation."
"I know him, Lao Zhou."
He will be my father-in-law from now on, so don't get too familiar with him. Shen Yuan thought to himself, nodded to Zhou Guoqiang, and then nodded slightly to Xu Xiaoyan.
Zhou Guoqiang's heart moved. Could it be that Mr. Shen also knew me?
However, he immediately discovered that Shen Yuan was looking at his daughter, and his daughter was pouting, as if she had suffered some injustice.
Why are you being so petty at this time?
Zhou Guoqiang tried hard to wink and make eyes, hoping that his daughter would take the initiative to say hello.
Unexpectedly, his daughter remained indifferent. Finally, he watched Shen Yuan walk to his daughter, ruffle her hair, and then asked the waiter to put a chair next to her, and then sat down.
Zhou Peiwei said resentfully, "You were the last one to greet me."
Shen Yuan put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her: “The most important people often stay last to say hello.”
Zhou Guoqiang was stunned on the spot. So, the company's new shareholder, Mr. Shen, is my daughter's boyfriend?
Gu Dongliang secretly felt that something was wrong. The intimate behavior of the two and Zhou Peiwei's facial expressions indicated that they were most likely a couple.
He must be very smart to be able to get this position in Anke. Director Shen's unilateral knowledge of his son was probably obtained through Zhou Peiwei.
So, was it a chance encounter that led Mr. Shen to come into this box, or was it to stand up for Zhou Peiwei?
Thinking of this, Gu Dongliang's heart sank. If it was the latter, then it would be troublesome.
But he never thought that Shen Yuan would investigate him, and even dug out the fact that he liked mother and daughter. Now he was only thinking, if it was the latter, what should he do to avoid offending Director Shen.
The only way is to avoid the main issue and not mention the blind date. Just treat it as a normal family dinner between the two families. As long as Zhou Peiwei doesn't exaggerate and make complaints, there won't be any big problem.
Just thinking about it made him want to curse. Not only did he have no connection with this mother and daughter, but he also had to be so careful to avoid offending them. Old Zhou, are you crazy? Your daughter's boyfriend is Mr. Chen, and you let her go on a blind date with my son?
Isn't this harming me?
Gu Dongliang looked at Zhou Guoqiang, who also had a puzzled expression. Gu Dongliang complained in his heart, "It's really amazing that you, as a father, have done this. You don't even know that your daughter has a boyfriend like this."
After Zhou Peiwei complained about her grievances, she had to face reality and began to feel uneasy, because this would bring their relationship from underground to above board.
"Dad, we..."
"It's okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
Zhou Guoqiang pulled up a wry smile.
He is in a very complicated mood now. His future son-in-law is a shareholder of the company, has a huge background, and has many resources and industries. This is a good thing for him.
But the key point is that this future son-in-law has a bad reputation and it is obvious that he has more than one woman. Is the daughter whom he has raised for more than 20 years going to be his mistress?
What else can we do?
Zhou Guoqiang looked at his daughter. His daughter's eyes were a little drawn to Mr. Shen, and it was obvious that she liked him to a certain extent.
No wonder, no wonder she has no interest in Gu Junchen at all. With a man like Mr. Shen around, any man would be eclipsed.
Zhou Peiwei is in a very good mood now, with her two little feet constantly tapping the ground. What could make her happier than having her boyfriend stand up for her?
At this time, Shen Yuan turned to look at Gu Dongliang: "Mr. Gu, why are your two families sitting together for dinner?"
Gu Dongliang had already thought of his response: "Our two families have a good relationship. It's rare for Pei Wei to come home these past two days, so I thought we'd have dinner together. Mr. Chen, I really didn't expect you and Pei Wei to be a couple. You are indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."
Lao Gu didn't mention the blind date at all, and even flattered the guy.
Zhou Peiwei wanted to complain after hearing this. She just said that she and Gu Junchen were a good match, and now she said that she and Shen Yuan were a couple. She changed her expression faster than turning the pages of a book.
Shen Yuan nodded: "So that's how it is."
Then, Shen Yuan talked to Gu Dongliang and Zhou Guoqiang about Anke. Although Zhou Guoqiang had complicated feelings, he was still very polite on the surface.
Gu Dongliang also thought it was just a chance encounter, and was glad that it was okay. If Shen Yuan really came to stand up for Zhou Peiwei, it would not be so easy to talk to him.
Although I didn’t have the chance to taste the mother and daughter, at least I didn’t offend Director Shen, which was the best result.
After a simple meal and two sips of wine, Shen Yuan got up to go to the bathroom. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he ran into Gu Dongliang.
Gu Dongliang smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is obviously a good drinker. He drank two glasses of white wine without changing his expression. We don't have such a good alcohol tolerance."
"It's okay."
Shen Yuan remained calm: "Come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Gu Dongliang didn't know what was going on, but he still went into the next box with Shen Yuan.
Tan Xin was the only one in this box. She had finished eating and was standing there digesting her food, her eyes coldly sweeping over Gu Dongliang.
"What's the matter, Mr. Shen?" Gu Dongliang asked.
Shen Yuan looked at him and said, "I know you are trying to match your son with Zhou Peiwei."
What was supposed to happen finally happened, but at least it wasn't said in front of the dinner table. Gu Dongliang lowered his head and said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, I was indeed wrong in this matter. If I had known that Pei Wei was your girlfriend, I wouldn't have dared to arrange this marriage. But don't worry, after this time, I will never mention this matter again."
"Don't call her Peiwei, you don't deserve it."
"Um?"
Gu Dongliang didn't hear clearly.
Shen Yuan gave Tan Xin a wink. Just as Gu Dongliang was about to look up, he found a ray of light coming towards him. With a "pop", a crisp and loud sound rang out in the box.
The glasses on Gu Dongliang's nose were blown off, and then he felt a burning pain on his face, and even blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth.
He covered his face in disbelief, and his face quickly turned the color of liver. Who could have thought that he was fine one moment ago, and then he would attack the next?
"Mr. Shen, what does this mean? Hitting people is against the law!"
Although Gu Dongliang was afraid of offending Shen Yuan, he was definitely not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by anyone.
"Why are you hitting me? Did you see me doing it?"
Shen Yuan said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, Lao Deng. Do you want everyone to know about the dirty things you did?"
Gu Dongliang's heart skipped a beat. Shen Yuan investigated me?
"Now, pick up your glasses and put them on properly," Shen Yuan ordered.
Gu Dongliang endured the pain and weighed the pros and cons in his mind. If those things were exposed, he would die immediately without Shen Yuan having to mobilize any resources.
The company will definitely fire me, and if the incident gets out of hand, no one in the industry will dare to hire me.
Thinking of this, I felt a chill down my spine.
"Didn't you hear me telling you to pick up your glasses and put them on?" Shen Yuan asked sternly.
Gu Dongliang was filled with grief and anger and had to pick up his glasses. He found that two of the lenses were cracked, and the cracks were as dense as spider webs.
He put on his glasses, collected his thoughts, and bowed deeply: "Mr. Shen, I was wrong. I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you are magnanimous."
"Go away."
Gu Dongliang didn't dare to say anything more. He covered his face and left the box. He didn't even have the face to go back to the box next door. He just called his wife and children and asked them to go home by themselves.
When passing by the glass, he could clearly see the distinct slap mark on his face and his broken glasses through the reflection. He looked as miserable as a dog.
When Gu Junchen received the call, he didn't know what had happened. He was having a good meal, so why did he suddenly leave?
Then he was startled by the angry roar coming from the phone. He cursed in his heart and had to stand up with Gu Ma to apologize: "Sorry, we have something to do at home, so we have to go back first."
Zhou Guoqiang didn't know what happened, but he heard some of the angry voice in the receiver just now.
"It's okay, you guys go back first."
After the two of them left and Shen Yuan was gone, Zhou Guoqiang finally asked, "Weiwei, when did you get together with Mr. Shen? Why didn't you tell your parents?"
"What's there to say? It's not a big deal."
Zhou Peiwei actually didn't think about telling her parents about this, because she subconsciously felt that her parents would not agree, after all, there were too many women around Shen Yuan.
Xu Xiaoyan didn't know about Shen Yuan's gossip, but she agreed: "Old Zhou, isn't this a good thing? The future son-in-law is one of your bosses. Maybe you can rely on him to move up in the company in the future."
Zhou Guoqiang sighed inwardly. Who doesn't want a promotion? But the problem is that the price of this promotion is his daughter.
How you think about it is how you feel.
Then he looked at his daughter again: "Weiwei, does he like you?"
Zhou Peiwei affirmed: "He likes it. If he didn't like it, he wouldn't have come today."
Zhou Guoqiang now understood that Shen Yuan appeared here to stand up for his daughter. No wonder Gu Dongliang left without saying a word.
Zhou Guoqiang comforted himself that at least Mr. Shen cared about his daughter.
Not long after, Shen Yuan returned to the private room, sat down as if nothing had happened, continued to drink and eat, and greeted: "Eat, uncle and aunt."
Now that there were no outsiders around, Shen Yuan began to regard himself as a junior.
When Zhou Guoqiang and Xu Xiaoyan first heard the title of "uncle and aunt", they were still a little uncomfortable. Zhou Guoqiang even had a headache. Mr. Shen treated him as a junior, so could he treat him as a junior?
After thinking about it, Zhou Guoqiang still felt that it was not possible.
"Mr. Chen, please eat. Do you need more food?" Zhou Guoqiang asked politely.
"Dad, no one is here anymore, why call me Mr. Shen? Just call me Xiao Shen."
Zhou Peiwei pushed Shen Yuan: "Really?"
"How can you talk like that, kid?" Xu Xiaoyan pulled her aside.
Shen Yuan laughed: "Of course, uncle and aunt can call me whatever you want, just be comfortable."
Although Shen Yuan said so, the two were still a little awkward. They didn't take the initiative to speak during the meal, and it was basically Shen Yuan who was looking for topics.
When they parted, Zhou Guoqiang was going back to work at the company, and Xu Xiaoyan was going home. Shen Yuan suggested, "Uncle and aunt, let Pei Wei come to my place to play today and send her back in the evening."
Zhou Guoqiang's mouth twitched: "Okay, you guys play."
After getting on the back seat of the Phantom, Zhou Peiwei pinched Shen Yuan's arm hard: "You are so powerful now that you can take me away in front of my parents."
"Be gentle, be gentle, don't you see why I came here?"
"Hmph, I get it. I'll give you a credit."
Zhou Peiwei was very satisfied, leaning in Shen Yuan's arms, swinging her legs happily: "Where are you taking me to play, Shen Yuan?"
"Go to my villa."
"We're playing in the villa again. Can't we go out and play?" Zhou Peiwei pouted.
"You can play in the car if you want, but there's a driver here."
"Chen Yuan, don't give me that. You know that's not what I meant."
Zhou Peiwei poked his waist and said, "Do you think about that every day, you big scumbag?"
"Well, I think about you every day."
Zhou Peiwei's cheeks quickly turned red: "If you say that again, I will ignore you."
Tan Xin was too embarrassed to listen, and her ears automatically blocked out Shen Yuan's voice.
This time, Shen Yuan took Zhou Peiwei back to Yinhu Bay. When they entered the underground garage, Zhou Peiwei sighed, "No wonder I was wondering why no one was in that Qingzhu Lake villa. You've moved! The garage is so classy, and there's even an elevator. This villa is much more upscale than the one in Qingzhu Lake. What a heavenly life you've been living."
"Let's go, I'll take you swimming."
"Swimming? But I don't have a swimsuit."
"I have it here."
Shen Yuan thought that Ji Ya had already prepared underwear and swimsuits for him ranging from 32B to 40E, so there must be some that fit Zhou Peiwei's size. (End of this chapter)
