He felt more at ease with these two people.
Chen Sheng said impatiently, "Don't talk about this kind of topic while eating. By the way, Chen Hai, didn't you say before that you heard people from Beichen talk about the founder of Beichen? Tell us about it."
Chen Hai put down Kuaizi, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said seriously: "The founder of Beichen is a strange man. In fact, he is younger than most people think..."
Chen Chi listened attentively to Chen Hai's story about the founder of Beichen. Chen Ya naturally had no interest in listening to those things. He pulled Wei Mingzhe aside and asked in a low voice:
"I heard that the families of the victims who participated in the Longtian rescue will receive compensation, and the volunteers who died will also receive a suite. Have you received any?"
Wei Mingzhe nodded and said, "I received it, but I gave my share and the apartment to my ex-wife's parents. They only have one daughter, and they will rely on that pension for their retirement."
As he spoke, his eyes became red again, and he said, "She could have been fine. It was my fault that I failed to protect her."
Chen Ya patted his shoulder and said, "It's all in the past. Don't blame yourself. No one can predict the future."
Five years ago, there was a major earthquake in Longtian.
It was during that earthquake that Chen Ya rushed to the scene, participated in the rescue, and adopted Xiao Yingying.
After returning, he founded the Disabled Volunteer Foundation, built a set of loving apartments for the disabled volunteers at that time, and gave them subsidies every month.
That incident will always be a scar in Chen Ya's heart.
In the face of nature, individual power is too small. It was after experiencing that incident that Chen Ya gradually restrained his edge and became much kinder.
Of course, it was not until he was over 80 that he truly became a gentleman who was gentle, well-educated, and never mean to others.
If we talk about self-blame, he should be the one who blames himself the most. Later, Beichen began to develop an earthquake early warning system, which advanced the earthquake alert time by 1 minute.
If he had developed this system six months earlier, 70% of the deaths in Longtian could have been avoided.
When it comes to guilt, no one feels more guilty than him.
But what is past is past. There are always some unpleasant things in this world.
"What kind of work are you doing now?"
Wei Mingzhe lit a cigarette for himself and said, "At the East City Fire and Rescue Brigade."
Chen Ya's expression changed and he gave a thumbs up: "Sure!"
Wei Mingzhe laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "It's not a formal position. I'm hired. The salary is not high, and there's no promotion prospects. My family... At first, I didn't even want to marry your aunt because I was afraid of delaying her."
Chen Ya saw Chen Sheng's performance and probably knew how Wei Mingzhe was treated in his family. He patted him on the shoulder and said:
"If you're tired of this, I'll help you find a better job and make sure they don't look down on you anymore."
"Really?" Wei Mingzhe's eyes lit up.
"Really. If I get the chance."
Chen Sheng tilted his head back and said to the two people who were talking here:
"Chen Ya! Come over here and listen to your brother talk about the founder of Beichen. Learn more about his abilities."
Chen Ya: “…”
After being speechless for a long time, he said to Wei Mingzhe, "I have one last question. Why did you choose to have your wedding on the same day as Old Master Lu's birthday?"
Wei Mingzhe smiled bitterly, "We booked it a long time ago. Old Master Lu's birthday was moved up, so it happened to fall on the same day as ours. I've already booked the hotel, and I can't change it."
Chen Ya was surprised: "The birthday party... can be brought forward?"
Wei Mingzhe said, "It used to be after the Spring Festival, but this time it was moved forward a month, to before the Spring Festival, for some reason."
Chen Ya understood after thinking about it for a moment.
The Lu family is in a state of panic now and is anxious to achieve some goals through Old Master Lu’s birthday celebration, so they moved the birthday celebration forward.
It will take some time to investigate what secrets are hidden inside.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little angry.
After returning home for so long, Chen Sheng has been talking about "Old Master Lu's birthday", but he never said that it was on the same day as his aunt's wedding.
He has always asked the whole family to prepare for Old Master Lu's birthday, but I have never heard him prepare for his younger sister-in-law's wedding.
So, will they go to attend Old Master Lu’s birthday or attend their aunt’s wedding?
Moreover, he didn't like his sister-in-law's fiancé, and his dissatisfaction was almost written on his face. He didn't even bother to put on a show.
He was quite disappointed with Chen Sheng's behavior.
If he wasn't in front of so many people, he would definitely point at Chen Sheng's nose and scold him:
"Tiantian Lu, Old Master Lu, is Old Master Lu your biological father?"
Chen Ya said to Wei Mingzhe in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I'll help you organize a grand wedding on your wedding day."
"That's not necessary. We've already found the wedding company and the hotel. It would be great if you could come over for a drink. I don't need any help with anything else," said Wei Mingzhe.
Chen Ya returned to his seat and whispered to Chen Chi beside him, "Aunt, I'll help make your wedding more lively and make it unforgettable for you."
The aunt sneered at him: "Come on, just give Old Wei less wine that day and I'll be grateful."
Chen Hai was still giving a long speech, explaining his understanding of Beichen and sharing his thoughts and experiences based on the experience of Beichen's founder. Suddenly, Lu Ruixiang received a call and became nervous.
She took out her phone, walked to a place where no one was paying attention, clicked the answer button, and immediately said:
"Grandma, what do you want to talk to me about?"
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Yu's old voice sounded: "Are you alone over there?"
