banquet
I am going to attend a banquet at Xiong Jiahao's house today. The banquet will be held at Junhao Hotel.
When Shen Baichuan called her, he also asked her if she wanted to meet in her company first before going over.
"No need. If you are busy over there, just go to the hotel directly. I have something to do in the company, so I will go there later." Chen Jin took out a pen from the pen holder and said, "I am very familiar with Junhao Hotel, so I will not lose the way."
Isn’t it familiar?
Previously, Old Man Zhang’s family spent a huge amount of money to entertain guests at Junhao Hotel, but ended up attracting a bunch of relatives who wanted money. Later, Chen Yue held a university party, also at the Junhao Hotel...
The food there is still delicious.
Chen Jin didn't talk much with Shen Baichuan. After hanging up the phone, he quickly signed the form at the back.
"By the way, how many interns have been hired for the four stores? How are they arranged?"
The head of the administration department was stunned for a moment, then replied, "We hired nine people in total, with one more person for the pedestrian street store in Dongcheng District. Four of them are students from Nanjing University, and the others are locals from Rong City, looking for part-time jobs to earn money during the holidays. Food is provided according to the standard for regular employees of the store, and accommodation is arranged by themselves. Students who live on campus are allowed to leave work at six o'clock."
I get off work at six o'clock, which is the earliest shift I have ever taken.
The administrative director secretly glanced at Chen Jin's expression, unsure what the boss meant by asking specifically about the store intern. There are also interns from the design department, but I haven’t seen the boss ask about them.
"I'm just asking."
After the others left, Chen Jin glanced at the time on the table. It was still early. Junhao Hotel was not far from the company, so it would not be too late to go out later.
With nothing to do, Chen Jin took out a lamp that he got from helping someone translate an order at the last exhibition.
It's a desk lamp. Chen Jin glanced at the packaging and took out the instruction manual, which was in both Chinese and English.
"Guanghan Palace Lantern? This name is quite interesting." It can be used as an ornament instead of a desk lamp. It looks better with the lights on, and the Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit inside are vivid and lifelike.
There were three knocks on the office door, and Nie Rong walked in familiarly.
"Jin Jie, you are too leisurely, aren't you? Are you playing with turning the lights on and off?"
"Aren't you going to the party too? Why don't you come to me and ask for some water when you have time?" Chen Jin packed up the packages and put them aside. She was moving things on the desk to make room for her desk lamp.
Nie Rong shrugged, "Don't mention it. I was supposed to go do something today, but the person involved walked away. The compensation has been negotiated, and they have reached a settlement privately. I drove past you and saw Daju at the door of the guard room, so I knew you were in the company."
This kind of thing happened so many times that Nie Rong was used to it.
Chen Jin had heard him mention this many times, like divorce, property division, child custody and everything was agreed upon, but when they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the couple returned the house. There was also a financial dispute, which was getting pretty serious, but when the trial was about to begin, they reconciled it outside the court door.
Think that's it? Humph, most of the time there will be a next time.
Nie Rong looked at everything in the office and said, "Your office has changed a lot. You changed everything, right? It seems that the company is really making money."
Chen Jin motioned him to look at the two words on the wall, "It's still the same here. Everything else, the desk, bookshelf, and sofa are all products of our own company. We've got such good furniture, so we need to change the curtains to match, so we changed them all."
Hearing that it was a product of her own company, Nie Rong patted the sofa and said, "This sofa is good."
When Shen Baichuan called again and said he was going to Junhao Hotel, Chen Jin and Nie Rong were also about to go there.
Just then, Geng Xin and Wei Hongqi came in through the gate.
"I came at an unfortunate time today. I caught you just as you were about to go out."
"It's a coincidence. I just happened to have something to do today. But, I can just talk to Director Geng about work."
Watching Chen Jin drive out, Wei Hongqi glanced at Geng Xin next to him and said with a smile, "Your boss is quite careless. Does she really not care about the company's affairs at all? Fortunately, you are here, Director Geng."
Geng Xin smiled and said, "Then you really misunderstood our boss."
Geng Xin didn't say anything else. He just held out his hand and said, "Director Wei, let's go to the office and talk."
Wei Hongqi also nodded with a smile, and did not mention Chen Jin again. Instead, he talked about wanting to cooperate with Baiyou.
On the other side, it only takes Chen Jin twenty minutes to drive to Junhao Hotel.
Unlike the last time when he went to the Cheng family’s old house and made many detours, Chen Jin went straight to the parking lot.
"What a big deal, the whole floor is reserved." Nie Rong joked: "To be honest, I only knew there were rich people before, but I didn't know they were so generous."
"After the demolition of Mutang Village next door, a family came here to treat guests to a meal and booked a banquet hall, spending 100,000 yuan."
But for people like Xiong Jiahao, they are celebrating the company's tenth anniversary. In addition to friends and family, there are also employees from the company. There should be quite a lot of people, so it is not excessive to book a floor of the venue.
"I really envy you rich people." Nie Rong clicked his tongue twice.
Chen Jin really wanted to roll his eyes at him. Looking at the backgrounds of those in their compound, some were in the military or the political field. Even if his family had nothing to do with the wealthy and powerful, they certainly wouldn't be short of money.
Having one of them is already far beyond most people.
Nie Rong understood the meaning in her eyes and raised his hand to signal himself to shut up.
If I continue talking, I feel like I’ll be scolded by Sister Jin.
As soon as I entered Junhao, I saw Shen Baichuan waiting.
Shen Baichuan said: "I just saw my second uncle and third uncle and the others are here too. They may cause trouble for me later. If they come to you alone, don't bother with them."
"What do you want from me?" Chen Jin suddenly laughed out loud, "Come and talk to me, ahem."
With his chin raised high and eyes lowered, he said in a very arrogant tone, "Your family's conditions are not worthy of our Baichuan. You'd better break up with him immediately."
"Haha, are you going to cause me trouble like this?"
Shen Baichuan immediately stopped worrying and said with a smile, “It’s possible.”
"Your second uncle's two wives won't both come, right?"
"They're all here. I saw them go up." Shen Baichuan thought about it and said more about the current situation at his grandfather's house.
"Cheng Yanzong may be driven out of office, and now my cousin is preparing to take over. The old man has seen Cheng Yanxi again."
Chen Jin looked disgusted, "Why is it so annoying to keep changing? Is this old man a reincarnated chameleon?!"
How come the heir of a group is still stuck in the garbage dump after being replaced so many times?
Although Shen Baichuan said that his cousin Cheng Yanfeng wanted to win him over on the surface and secretly guarded against him and even tripped him up, she was really capable after all. Could the old man really not see that at all?
The two of them were whispering as if no one was around. Nie Rong, who was following behind them, smiled and sighed. Did they forget that they had a friend like him? Can you take care of his feelings?
When he arrived at the banquet hall, Nie Rong felt better when he met acquaintances, especially after seeing Wei Zhenhua, he immediately left Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan behind.
I can’t continue to be friends with this person if he doesn’t even share gossip with me.
“Baichuan is here.” Mr. Xiong brought Xiong Jiahao to entertain the guests, and then saw Chen Jin next to Shen Baichuan.
Xiong Jiahao introduced, "Dad, this is Chen Jin, the one I mentioned to you. He opened his own clothing and furniture companies."
Shen Baichuan also said: “This is Mr. Xiong from Changyuan Company…”
"Hey," Mr. Xiong stopped Chen Jin from talking and corrected him, "Just follow Baichuan and call him Uncle Xiong. Baichuan is really fast to find such a good partner."
Then he said to Xiong Jiahao: "Learn more from Baichuan. You have to take care of both work and family."
Xiong Jiahao said "Oh".
There were quite a few guests arriving later, and without much greeting, Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan continued to walk inside.
"Xiong Er's dad seems easy to talk to." Chen Jin said.
However, she also knew in her heart that being able to build a company to this level could not be achieved simply by being easy to talk to? It's impossible just by thinking about it.
Shen Baichuan smiled and said, "It's true that he's easy to talk to in private. It's hard to say when it comes to work. But he's more like a normal person than the old man."
After that, Shen Baichuan motioned for her to look over, and the old man Cheng Yuanqing was chatting with someone with Cheng Yanxi.
The last time at the Cheng family’s old house, the person who was taken by the old man to meet people as the heir was Cheng Yanzong. Now you change your face as soon as you say it.
"Look, does Cheng Yanzong's face look like a color palette?"
“Exactly the same.” Shen Baichuan praised her for the appropriate metaphor.
Cheng Yanzong's dissatisfaction was written all over his face, but Cheng Yanfeng looked calm and continued to make friends with other people.
Everyone knew that the Cheng family was fighting for the right of inheritance, but no one dared to bring it up and just watched them fight back and forth.
"The old man has been smart for most of his life. Is it possible that he has started to lose his mind when he gets old?"
How to develop outwards if there is internal instability? If you keep fighting and arguing, won't others rush over and bite you? Even Chen Jin knows that one must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies, so there is no way the old man doesn't know this.
"Old fox, very clever." Shen Baichuan sneered and said, "Let them fight to the death now, just in time to remove the termites in the group. It's hard to say who will be promoted in the future. Maybe, in order to save his decades of hard work, he will let my cousin take the position of the boss."
He smiled again and said, "No matter who he chooses, he won't choose me. He knows that if he chooses me, the Cheng Group will have to be changed to the Shen Group in the future."
Chen Jin clicked his tongue, patted his arm with his hand, and said, "If you work harder, you might be able to change your name."
Shen Baichuan laughed. She often told her subordinates: Work harder, make it bigger and stronger, maybe we will become famous all over the country.
Every time he felt that what she said was true, he also felt that she was lying.
"Stop laughing, your cousin is here. Well, he looks like he has bad intentions."
Cheng Yanzong had already noticed the two of them. His eyes fell on their linked hands, then he fixed his gaze on Chen Jin's face, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Brother, you just found a girlfriend like this?"
"Why, do I need to find a boyfriend to learn from you to find a girlfriend?" Shen Baichuan looked him up and down with disdain and said, "Your body is your own, take it easy, you look so weak. If you were put in a zoo, who would be able to tell which one is the human and which is the bear between you and the panda?"
Chen Jin quickly lowered his head and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. The hand holding Shen Baichuan tightened a little, if she hadn’t grabbed his sleeve tightly to divert his attention, she would have laughed out loud!
Cheng Yanzong was choked for a moment. Before he could even start talking, he was interrupted again.
Chen Jin looked at him steadily, then suddenly exclaimed, and said seriously, "Your eyes are so red, and they match the color of your face. Red, green, and white. Seeing your grandfather taking your cousin around to meet people, you must feel bad, right?"
Chen Jin took another breath and asked Shen Baichuan, “Do you smell a sour smell?”
Shen Baichuan nodded, “There is a sour smell, I thought I was the only one who smelled it.”
"Yes, it smells like pickled cabbage in a big jar. It smells like those people who have no ability to fight for themselves and can only look for a sense of existence everywhere. Their hair is all rustling and steam is coming out. If you smell it carefully, it's so sour."
Cheng Yanzong was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
Shen Baichuan stared at him with a smile, "I can't compare to you. Your girlfriend can go around the old house. Whose family was it that went to the old house last time to make a fuss and ask for an explanation? I heard that you were in love with the fourth daughter of the Ye family, and she dumped you. You insisted on telling others outside that you dumped her..."
The fourth daughter of the Ye family, who happened to pass by and watched the fun, froze her smile on her face, "Cheng Yanzong, are you sick?! Do you have any shame? Who dumped who? You are such a useless loser, and you still want to inherit the Cheng Group? Who do you think you are now that you deserve to dump me?"
Cheng Yanzong didn’t even bother to refute Fourth Miss Ye, he glared at Shen Baichuan, gnashed his teeth and said, “When did I say such a thing outside?”
Shen Baichuan frowned, as if doubting himself, and asked back: "Didn't you say it? Someone heard it in the club on Foreigner Street in Xicheng District, and asked me to confirm whether it was true. Maybe they recognized the wrong person."
After these words were spoken, Miss Ye Si became even angrier. Everyone knew that Cheng Yanzong's favorite place to go was the club on Yangren Street in Xicheng District? !
But she still remembered that this was a banquet hosted by someone else's family, many of the people coming were well-known, and her family had business dealings with the Xiong family, so she knew that she could not cause trouble here.
He sneered, "Okay, Cheng Yanzong, just wait for me!"
After saying that, he called his friends and left.
Cheng Yanzong wanted to argue with Shen Baichuan, but he had no time to do that at this moment.
He is almost given up by the old man. If the Ye family puts obstacles in his way again and prevents him from getting the latest project, then he will really be finished.
Pointing at Shen Baichuan, he said, “Wait for me! Wait for me…Ahhh, let go!”
Shen Baichuan added a little more force to pry his fingers open, and said, "I don't like people pointing their fingers at me. Remember this time, and don't forget it next time."
"You, you just wait!"
"Wait, I'll wait. How many years have you been saying this? Haven't I waited for you long enough?"
Chen Jin cooperated and said, "Don't bully the poor young people, don't bully the poor middle-aged people, and don't bully the poor old people. Shen Baichuan, don't look down on people."
Shen Baichuan said "hmm", and saw the old man looking over. His second uncle and second aunt were walking towards this side, and reminded her: "Let's go, there are two crazy men and women coming, let's go talk to the old man."
Cheng Yanzong turned around and saw that it was his parents walking towards him. And Shen Baichuan had already dragged people to greet grandpa.
Even more angry.
Chen Jin thought that when Shen Baichuan said "talk", he really meant it.
As a result, as soon as I passed by, I heard Shen Baichuan say: “Old man, you are fashionable.”
Chen Jin was at a loss. Cheng Yuanqing and Cheng Yanxi were even more confused.
"Others choose Miss Hong Kong based on her looks and figure, but you choose your successor based on who has more water in his head."
"Cheng Yanxi, you are so capable of stealing my car to pick up girls. Why don't you go out and say that you are Shen Baichuan?"
Cheng Yanxi looked around guiltily.
Chen Jin helped him out: "Maybe it's because you don't have any water in your brain?"
