Good
Cheng Yuanqing had to be thankful that this was a banquet hosted by the Xiong family. If this was a small banquet at their own home, who knows how noisy it would have been.
In the eyes of outsiders, the atmosphere here is very good. The current head of the Cheng family, the grandsons of the two eldest wives, and the eldest grandson's current girlfriend, the four of them had a very pleasant conversation.
In fact, Shen Baichuan was looking at Cheng Yanxi with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't think that no one knows that you stole my car. I don't want that car anymore. Either you buy me a new one, or you transfer the money to my account. It's not the first time I've lost money. You should know how much money is in the account."
Cheng Yuanqing never interfered in the disputes between the two grandsons of the eldest wife. He used to favor Shen Baichuan, so Cheng Yanxi didn't dare not to compensate.
Now......
Shen Baichuan glanced over and said to Cheng Yuanqing: "If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility, don't you think so? If you dare to do it but not take responsibility, what's the point of being an heir?"
Cheng Yanxi glanced at his grandfather who remained silent, and said, "I'll transfer the money tomorrow."
"Well, call early. I'm short of money lately."
Cheng Yuanqing opened and closed his mouth, exhaled a long breath, and repeatedly told himself not to be angry.
He warned her softly, "It's okay if you like to talk at home, but be careful when you're out there!"
Shen Baichuan glanced at him indifferently, hummed, and said: "I am not Cheng Yanzong and Cheng Yanxi, there is nothing wrong with my brain."
Cheng Yuanqing snorted heavily, looked at Chen Jin beside him, and immediately changed his expression, saying: "Xiao Chen, Baichuan has such a stubborn temper. You should talk to him more when you have time. He always speaks with thorns, how can that work? Don't you think so?"
Why ask Chen Jin when there are so many people to ask? Shen Baichuan couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at? If you're dating someone, just be nice. It's ok to be rude to your family, but why are you doing this in front of Xiao Chen?"
Shen Baichuan laughed and said, “How dare I.”
"Well, Xiao Chen, tell me more about him."
Chen Jin smiled sheepishly, "How embarrassing! How can I say anything about him?"
"You two are dating, what's there to be embarrassed about? If he doesn't let you say it, grandpa will make the decision for you."
Shen Baichuan snorted lightly, his eyes reading: You decide? Can you be my master?
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely talk to him nicely." Shen Baichuan was still too polite to the crazy man and woman he disliked. Next time I'll take him to see how Aunt Zhou scolds people properly.
To Shen Baichuan, Cheng Yuanqing really seemed like a grandfather. No matter how Chen Baichuan stabbed him, he didn't take it to heart.
Shen Baichuan also said that it was because he was the only one not on the old man’s list of heirs that the old man didn’t have so many calculations about him. In addition, because of the ugly marriage between his parents in the past, the old man was too embarrassed to enter the Shen family's door, and he even felt a little guilty towards him.
Cheng Yanxi couldn't get a word in. He had just been following his grandfather around to meet people, but now his grandfather's attention was all on Shen Baichuan, and he even asked about any recent difficulties that Shen Baichuan's company had encountered.
Speaking of difficulties, then Shen Baichuan has something to say.
Shen Baichuan said: “As long as the second uncle and the third uncle stop watching my company, my difficulties will be reduced by half.”
"Why? What I said last time didn't slander or wrongly accuse them. They said something unpleasant, and I just said a few words casually, and then you got angry out of shame. In this regard, I think my dad, that idiot, is better than my second uncle and third uncle."
Shen Baichuan's second and third uncles came hurriedly with their wives, just because they were afraid that Shen Baichuan would complain to the old man again.
I was still a step too late, the person had already filed the complaint.
You can scold others, but why say they are not as good as the eldest brother? That's really insulting to them.
What else does my brother know besides writing articles? He was born without any business skills, and he only knew about "eldest son" and "grandson" all day long. Shen Baichuan was right to call him an old zombie from the Qing Dynasty. It has been decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the old men are not as pedantic and feudal as him. He even has the nerve to say that he pursues freedom and hates arranged marriages. He is a two-faced person who only says things that benefit himself.
In short, scolding them for not being as good as the big brother is really more disgusting than scolding them directly.
"Baichuan, you can't just blame your uncle for any problems at your company. It's common for business to have ups and downs."
Shen Baichuan's second aunt had a smile on her face and said, "I finally met Baichuan's girlfriend. No wonder he didn't like the girl introduced by his family. It turns out that his girlfriend is so pretty. No wonder, I said that the girls from the old friends' families are not bad either."
She wanted to reach out and pull Chen Jin, but Chen Jin dodged.
Damn it! Why is the old woman acting weird? !
What if she didn't understand the meaning of those words?
Chen Jin also laughed with her and asked, "You are Shen Baichuan's second aunt, right? Shen Baichuan mentioned his second aunt to me. That is, Shen Baichuan's cousin doesn't look like you at all. Your cousin is much prettier."
"Aunt Cheng is still the best. She gave birth to a beautiful cousin, much prettier than my cousin. You can tell at a glance that she is a child of the Cheng family. You are amazing, and you have taught my cousin to be amazing. Shen Baichuan said that several new projects in the family company were started by my cousin."
"You are amazing."
The second aunt's expression was the same as Cheng Yanzong's just now, and the mother and son had the same color palette.
Shen Baichuan waited for her to finish before correcting her: “This is Cheng Yanzong’s mother, the second wife of my second uncle.”
Chen Jin said "Ah" loudly, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this... Well, I thought that Shen Baichuan's second uncle brought it here, so it must be his second aunt! How come there is a second wife? Hey, I'm really sorry, little second aunt, I have little experience, I didn't know it could be like this, tut tut... Hey, I'm really sorry."
Who isn’t a “ya ya” person? snort!
The second aunt tried hard to maintain her smile. The old man was still watching her. If she argued with a junior, she would definitely get into trouble with the old man.
The last time Shen Baichuan and Shen Qiwu went to the old man's villa, she was so angry that she made a scene. She couldn't cause any trouble again today.
As expected, people look for the same kind of person, and it is known that Shen Baichuan will not find a good person!
Such a sharp-tongued look! snort! The old man could tolerate his eldest grandson, Shen Baichuan, but he might not be able to tolerate the person Shen Baichuan was dating.
Now Cheng Yuanqing is also a little dissatisfied. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Chen Jin did it on purpose.
But this dissatisfaction was directed at Shen Baichuan: It’s not enough for you to make me angry alone, and you also need to find a girl with similar sharp teeth and sharp tongue to accompany you, so that you can unite to make me angry in the future?
Shen Baichuan actually showed him what it would be like when the two of them joined forces, so that he could be mentally prepared.
I only heard Shen Baichuan say to Chen Jin: “Don’t listen to Aunt Xiao Er’s jokes, you are different from her.”
Chen Jin cooperated tacitly and handed him the ladder. "What's the difference?"
"My second uncle can ignore so many girls who are his family's friends and fall in love with my second aunt. You have your own family business and abilities, and you don't rely on me to make a living. It's normal for me to pursue you."
"Oh oh." Chen Jin said: "You may have misunderstood. Aunt Xiao Er should be talking about herself."
Chen Jin turned to the second aunt who was so angry that her lips were tightly pursed. She wanted to glare at her but had to force a smile because the old man was here and said, "Don't think too much. I see that you must have been very beautiful when you were young, given your state of maintenance. Don't worry about Uncle Cheng bringing back another little second aunt. Uncle Cheng, don't you think so? Second aunt was very beautiful when she was young, right?"
Once the topic was thrown out, it was none of her business whether anyone responded or not.
Uncle Cheng chuckled awkwardly and simply ignored the topic.
There are always pitfalls in this question.
Let’s talk about being pretty, slapping the second aunt’s face: You still have the nerve to insinuate that she was favored by Shen Baichuan because of her face?
Say she's not pretty, or slap her in the face.
The serious Second Aunt who followed behind was very happy because of what Chen Jin said to the Younger Second Aunt. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, this saying is always true.
"Baichuan, you have good taste and a good girlfriend." Second Aunt helped them change the subject and ignored everyone else.
"We're going to Hong Kong together soon, right?"
At the end of the year, Shen Qiwu remarried and the Shen family's wedding invitations were sent out.
In the Cheng family, she was the only one who received the wedding invitation, mainly because of the connections on her mother's side. No one thought of sending wedding invitations to the Cheng family.
“Yeah.” Shen Baichuan replied calmly.
This second aunt had no conflicts with Ms. Shen, and had never openly targeted him. He had no major problem with his second aunt and cousin Cheng Yanfeng, but he didn't want to get close to them.
At some point, Shen Baichuan's father Cheng Huaan also came over with his wife and glanced at Chen Jin meaningfully.
Just look at that look, as if he's so great, and yet he looks down on her? If this wasn't a party hosted by someone else's family, not to mention in her village, even if it was on the street outside, she would have scolded him to death: a Qing Dynasty zombie pretending to be dead!
But Chen Jin held back, and Shen Baichuan couldn’t help it, and said to her: “The Qing Dynasty zombies I mentioned to you.”
Chen Jin: “…Puff.”
Ouch, that’s so rude!
How embarrassing it is to laugh out loud in front of others!
So many people were trying not to laugh, but she was the only one who laughed out loud. It was really embarrassing!
Cheng Huaan’s face flushed, then turned blue, staring at Shen Baichuan, lowering his voice and scolding: “Is this the attitude you use when talking to your father?”
Shen Baichuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't come to me to seek a sense of existence. I'm not talking to you. My partner and I are discussing the zombie movie we watched recently."
"Are you interested? Actually, there's nothing much to say. It's just a story about an old zombie who fantasizes about being the crown prince and wants to inherit the throne. It's boring. Just watch it as a joke to kill time."
"Forget it, I won't talk about it anymore. My partner is afraid of ghosts."
Chen Jin finally stopped laughing. If this had happened outside, she would have laughed out loud!
He nodded seriously, “Yes, I’m particularly afraid of ghosts. I once saw Shen Baichuan standing in front of his window, like a ghost, and was scared to death.”
"Normal. Although I look more like my mother, I still look a bit like my father."
"......There's no need to scold yourself like that." Chen Jin said. There is no need to lose a thousand enemies and destroy eight hundred of your own! What a bad deal!
Cheng Huaan wanted to show off his father's power, but Shen Baichuan ignored him, and even said one thing, and Shen Baichuan said ten things.
In the end, it was his wife who pulled his sleeve and reminded him not to bother with the two juniors.
She was very happy. It would be best if Shen Baichuan and his girlfriend cursed more severely, so that the old man would not have a good impression of Shen Baichuan.
As for that girlfriend? She didn't take it seriously. It would definitely be better for Shen Baichuan to have a girlfriend with an average family background than a girlfriend with a good family background. The second wife just can't figure things out. She can't find the right point without causing trouble for others.
Cheng Yanxi kept his head down, as there was no one here that he could argue with.
I was also thinking, his dad is really something, if he looks down on people, could he be more restrained? Think you hid it well?
When Shen Baichuan mentioned "Qing Dynasty zombies", the corners of Cheng Yuanqing's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Although it was indeed wrong for his son to say this about his father, he had to admit that his eldest grandson's description was somewhat accurate.
That's right... Cheng Yuanqing felt mixed emotions as he watched Chen Jin, who was singing the same tune with Shen Baichuan. This guy must be a good talker... Oh no, maybe even better than his eldest grandson.
Chen Jin noticed someone was looking at him, so he looked over and saw it was Cheng Yuanqing, so he smiled at him.
She looks like a good-tempered girl.
Almost all the people in the Cheng family have gathered here, and some are secretly watching to see if the three branches of the Cheng family will start a quarrel.
Some people looked happy while others looked unhappy. At the moment, Cheng Yanfeng's mother was the one smiling the happiest. Could it be that Cheng Yuanqing was more optimistic about Cheng Yanfeng?
"Normal. The Cheng family members, Shen Baichuan set up his own business, and they also got involved in the fight for the right of succession. Cheng Yanzong? Tsk. Cheng Yanxi? Tsk. The remaining Cheng Yanfeng is indeed capable. The project near the train station was brought up by her, right?"
"So what if she's capable? She's a woman, she'll have to get married in the future. Can Mr. Cheng hand over decades of family business to her? Who knows if she'll still be named Cheng in the future..."
"That's true. But the other two are really useless. They are not even close to Cheng Yanfeng."
"You are praising me so much, are you trying to arrange a marriage for your son? You old fox!"
"It would be great if he could really succeed. I'm afraid people would look down on our playboy."
They didn't look in their direction, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with their expressions when they were chatting, but Shen Baichuan knew that others must be laughing at him.
Too lazy to stay here any longer, he said to Chen Jin, "Let's go. If we stay with some people, we will be treated like monkeys. The monkeys in the zoo are better than us. At least they can make money by selling tickets, but we don't. It's just embarrassing."
"......good."
Everyone in the Cheng family looked at Shen Baichuan and said hello without fighting with them and took people away.
Just go, Chen Jin seemed to be doing it on purpose, and said: “Chen Baichuan, you should tell less truth in the future, so that your company won’t be in trouble again.”
"Oh, then I will be more restrained next time."
Chen Jin added, "Just hold back. If you hold your anger in your heart every day, it will only harm your body and make the people who are against you happy. You should vent your anger when you need to, and never hold it in."
Some people: “…” What kind of heresy? !
Shen Baichuan and Chen Jin went to find Xue Zhonghua, and after a while, Nie Rong and Wei Zhenhua also came over.
Wei Zhenhua came here with his leader today. As one of the most famous companies in Rong City and even in Southern Province, the Xiong family's Changyuan Company naturally included people from government departments that they often dealt with among the people invited to the tenth anniversary celebration.
He also came here with a mission today.
Qin Yi quietly emerged from behind without anyone noticing, "Brother, Teacher Chen."
He wanted to call her "sister-in-law", but was scolded by Shen Baichuan, who said that he was careless and disrespectful, so he changed it back.
"Where did you go just now? I couldn't find you anywhere." Xue Zhonghua hit Qin Yi and said disdainfully, "You're sneaking around. Are you a thief?"
Qin Yi waved his hand, looked back, and bent his body slightly, hiding next to Nie Rong, and then said: "I'm afraid my grandfather will ask me questions, so I'd better hide from him."
"No, what are you afraid of him doing? You are just the head of a small department, not a key department."
"Who knows?" Qin Yi said sympathetically, "I see people being kicked out of the group one after another. I, his grandson who has an average relationship with him, may not stay for long. Brother, you can take me in when the time comes."
Shen Baichuan chuckled and said, “You’d better work hard and stay in Cheng Group to harm them.”
The others laughed along.
"Teacher Chen..."
Chen Jin quickly shook his head, "My temple is too small to bother with it."
Qin Yi sighed and was about to speak when Xue Zhonghua beside him pushed him and said, "Well, you guessed right, your grandpa is looking for you, go quickly."
When they turned around, they saw Cheng Yuanqing looking at them and waving at them.
Qin Yi pointed at himself, and seeing his grandfather nodded without hesitation, he could only walk over bitterly.
Seeing him so pitiful, Chen Jin asked Shen Baichuan: “Are you really not going to help him?”
"No, he thinks too much. It must be a good thing that the old man is looking for him. Maybe he will move up a few positions." Shen Baichuan said meaningfully: "How can those messy relatives outside be more reliable than your own grandson?"
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows. She didn't know what others said. But Qin Yi, he is really unreliable.
Soon, we sat down and prepared to start the highlight of the day.
Wei Zhenhua went to the leader again, and the rest of them sat at the same table, and then a few people of similar age came, either other friends of Shen Baichuan or friends of Xue Zhonghua.
Xiong Jiahao's father has already gone on stage, followed by his two sons on his left and right.
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan whispered, "Why is there such a big difference between Xiong Er and his brother?"
Xiong Jiahao's brother looks so majestic without getting angry. Xiong Jiahao is a bit silly, but he looks a lot like his father...
"The difference is a bit big, but they are indeed brothers from the same father and mother. Brother Xiong is actually quite easy to talk to, and he is just pretending to be like this now."
"Ah? Then he pretends to be serious." Chen Jin said.
After they finished their whispered discussion, Xiong Jiahao's father took the microphone from the host and began to speak.
Hearing the phrase “Ten years ago, we started from scratch”, Chen Jin inexplicably thought of his two companies. Suddenly, he felt ambitious and determined to implement the two words on the wall!
During the final applause, Chen Jin's hands turned red.
"I hope I can also say these words on Jinshun's tenth anniversary." Chen Jin thought happily, feeling excited just thinking about it.
Shen Baichuan held her hand and placed it under the table, stopping her from clapping so hard.
He said confidently, "Of course you can do it."
He thought that Chen Jin might have been stimulated by others and his career ambition was rising rapidly.
But within a few minutes, with Mr. Xiong's words "Enjoy your meal," the waiters came up with the dishes one after another. Chen Jin immediately put his career ambition aside and started to introduce the delicious food of Junhao Hotel to him.
Chen Jin also said: "Work when it's time to work, eat when it's time to eat."
So, Shen Baichuan was also busy eating seriously.
After eating half of his meal, Chen Jin touched his arm and said, "Well, your second uncle is quite capable. He brought his two wives to toast others...hiss, this is a big novelty in our village."
Xue Zhonghua next to him silently interjected, "This is also a new thing in Rong City."
"That's true." Chen Jin agreed.
“Hey, Shen Baichuan, that guy you mentioned last time, the one about two brothers fighting over their wives, look.”
Nie Rong: “…” No, Sister Jin, are you here to watch the fun?
Looking at Shen Baichuan picking up dishes and talking, Xue Zhonghua would occasionally interject, and he...he also silently moved over.
"What? Sister Jin, tell me."
Chen Jin was very happy. Daju, who had been waiting for a long time but didn't show any sign of coming back, was so angry that he started fighting with Dahuang.
