"Huairen is here, come and sit down, we've been waiting for you. No one got any rest yesterday, and although we slept for a while today, the quality of sleep during the day is not comparable to that at night, so everyone looks a little tired. Don't mind, I don't have any objection to you."
The giant in charge of economics saw Allen Chu enter the box and couldn't help but greet him with a smile.
Compared with several other giants, Allen Chu can often see this giant who is in charge of the economy.
Although there is still a big gap in their levels, Chu Huairen is at least the head of a giant state-owned enterprise. He is qualified to participate in some top-level economic meetings.
Even in those top-level economic meetings, Allen Chu was at the level of the general public and had almost no chance to communicate alone with the giant who was specifically responsible for the economy.
But the two had met each other many times after all. Compared with several other giants, Allen Chu was much more familiar with this giant who was in charge of the economy.
Therefore, when he saw this giant in charge of economics greeting him, Chu Huairen's originally nervous mood eased a little.
Chu Huairen hurriedly sat down on the only empty chair, without immediately looking at his daughter sitting next to him or Chen Yan who was sitting next to his daughter.
Instead, he first greeted several giants according to their ranking, and then greeted the three veteran experts.
Then he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm late and delayed everyone's dinner."
"It's not a delay. We've only been sitting down for a short while. Besides, we were the ones who arranged the car to pick you up. If there's a delay, it's our problem, not yours. The main thing is that this family dinner was a last-minute decision, and we didn't inform you in advance, so it's normal that we're not well prepared."
The leading giant said with a kind smile.
Allen Chu was a little frightened and could only nod repeatedly in response.
Because until now, he still doesn't know what happened.
Chu Yinyin on the side was actually calmer than Allen Chu.
Even though Chu Yinyin didn't know what had happened, Chen Yan said it was a good thing on the phone, so she didn't bother to think about it anymore.
Seeing her father's awkward behavior, Chu Yinyin suddenly became playful.
He smiled and jokingly said, "Dad, what's wrong with you? You usually have the final say and are so domineering at home, but today you look like an elementary school student meeting his teacher, so obedient?"
Allen Chu’s expression froze, and he coughed dryly with a hint of embarrassment.
First, he glanced at a few giants.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the giants were looking at this side gently and did not show any dissatisfaction with Chu Yinyin's words.
He scolded softly, "Don't talk nonsense. Can't you be more steady like Xiao Chen?"
Chu Yinyin was speechless and said, "Dad, that's not what you told me at home. You always told me that girls should be open and confident when they go out. Why do you think I'm not stable now?"
Allen Chu's face froze, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, the financial tycoon interrupted, "Huairen, don't be nervous. Today's really just a family dinner, so everyone should be more relaxed and just treat it as a family gathering for a simple meal. I think Yinyin has a good personality. Don't think we're all old-fashioned. The more lively a girl is, the more we like her. Sitting together, it feels like we've become younger ourselves."
The leading figure agreed, "That's right. Girls should be outgoing and confident. This is the right education. This isn't the old society anymore, where we still have to pay attention to things like the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and being a beautiful girl from a small family. When I was young, I went to the countryside to work as a village party secretary. At that time, the slogan shouted by the whole country was that women hold up half the sky."
Although women were only counted as half-laborers when production teams recorded work points back then, that was because they were assigned different farm tasks. Even now, aren't we constantly advocating for gender equality and women's rights? Changes in production methods have already eliminated the physiological differences between men and women in many areas.
In many industries, women are equally capable of tasks that men can perform. In domestic life, men and women share nearly identical responsibilities. Under these circumstances, women should naturally participate more openly in social activities; this is a true sign of a country's progress.
Upon hearing this, Chu Huairen could only nod in agreement.
Now that the two top-ranked giants have spoken, what else can he say?
Regardless of whether the two giants really think so, their attitude is indeed expressed in words.
In this situation, of course he couldn't say anything about his daughter.
"Okay, everyone's here, let's get started. I think Xiao Chen must be hungry. Judging from how much he ate for breakfast today, we need to prepare more food for him tonight. Otherwise, if we continue to prepare food based on the appetite of us old men, Xiao Chen might have to go out for a midnight snack after finishing his meal. If he then scolds us in his heart for being stingy, we will be wronged."
The leading giant said with a smile.
Chen Yan quickly waved his hands and said, "Not really, not really. My appetite far exceeds that of ordinary people. Not only you and the others can't understand it, but other people can't understand it either. I'm used to it."
The leading giant sighed, "Indeed, this morning I went with someone to find out what happened last night, and I learned that you actually ate up all the food prepared in the entire store. This is really eye-opening. I've lived for almost seventy years and have seen many big eaters, but I've never seen anyone eat as much as you."
Chen Yan said embarrassedly: "The main reason is that the restaurant doesn't prepare much food. After all, it's just a nightclub, not a restaurant. It really doesn't count on me to be a big eater."
"Okay, okay, it's that store's fault! Anyway, you're a hero of our country now. Based on your contributions, whatever you say is true! Even if you point at a deer and say it's a horse, we'll definitely tell you it's a horse!"
After listening to the words of the leading giant, Allen Chu couldn't help but feel confused.
National hero...what does that even mean?!
How did it suddenly rise to this height?!
So this so-called family dinner tonight is actually to entertain Chen Yan?
So why was he invited?
His mind raced, and when he thought of this, Allen Chu subconsciously turned his head to look at Chu Yinyin.
Looking at the seats where Chen Yan and Chu Yinyin were sitting next to each other, Allen Chu suddenly understood a lot.
In other words... tonight's family dinner is actually a family dinner for Chen Yan and his daughter?
He was the girl's parent, so naturally he had to attend, but the boy's parents...
