Chapter 249 Banquet
At the banquet, the lights were bright and dazzling, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.
The hall was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner. Many guests dressed in gorgeous clothes were walking around and chatting with each other, laughing and talking among the crowd.
In the end, they all walked towards Uncle Chi San and Chi Lin together.
Uncle Chi was in high spirits as he chatted with everyone who came over. Chi Lin stood beside him. He was young and handsome, with the Chi family's unique heroism in his eyes and brows, but also a bit of humility and gentleness.
"Master Chi San, your son is such a handsome man!" A noble lady said with a smile, gently waving the fan in her hand. She glanced at her daughter beside her out of the corner of her eye and gently pushed her with her elbow.
"Yes, judging by this child's demeanor, he will definitely achieve great things in the future." Others echoed.
Chi Lin was surrounded by everyone's praise and bowed slightly.
"It's all because of the good care taken by the elders in the family."
"You're so modest. You've already become a general manager at such a young age. If you can become the president, it won't be long before you do."
“He is also a leader among the younger generation.”
Everyone flattered him, and Uncle Chi smiled with a smile on his face.
In contrast, Second Uncle Chi and Chi Mingwei were completely ignored. Second Uncle Chi stood in the corner, his face as gloomy as a storm, his eyes filled with resentment and anger. He watched Third Uncle Chi and Chi Lin being surrounded by the crowd, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Chi Mingwei also looked unhappy. He was also from the younger generation of the Chi family. He also joined the group and was the general manager, but now he was left aside and no one cared about him.
Chi Mingwei glanced around and just saw a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman noticed it and instantly dodged away with a hint of disgust on her face.
"Why are you pretending to be so noble?" Chi Mingwei clicked his tongue.
The sounds of laughter and joy around them pierced them like needles.
Uncle Chi was furious when he saw Chi Mingwei still acting so carefree.
"It's because you're useless. Look, Chi Lin is just an illegitimate child, but now he's become a hot commodity."
Chi Mingwei pursed his lips. It wasn't what he wanted, and he secretly complained in his heart.
The more Chi Mingwei thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt.
"Dad, I'm much better than him. Now he's just using the name of an elder to show off his power. When he gets to the company, he still has to listen to me."
I take him out to spend money and have fun every day. How can his business ability be that strong? If he really gets a few orders, they will be done by those suckers.
He just pretends to be humble, but in fact he is no different from me.
When Uncle Chi heard this, his face changed immediately and he glared at Chi Mingwei, wondering how he could have given birth to such a son who was as stupid as a pig.
"Do you know what the company's top management thinks of you now? Those old guys are fed up with you and want to fire you from the company."
Uncle Chi became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he raised his hand and punched Chi Mingwei on the head.
"Dad! Let them say whatever they want. I won't live much longer anyway. At worst, I can just starve them to death and see what they can say."
"Idiot, don't play with Chi Lin anymore. Aren't you afraid that you'll be used as a tool in the future?"
"I know." Seeing that he didn't listen, I wanted to scold him again, but when the words came to my lips, I felt that it was useless.
This kid has always been stubborn and it's useless to talk to him.
Uncle Chi sighed and changed the subject, "Don't just complain all day long. You are already so old, it's time for you to think about your own life-long affairs. Look at you, you are so lazy all day long. When will you be able to carry on the Chi family's line? Let me hold a grandson." Uncle Chi frowned and scolded.
When Chi Mingwei heard this, he felt overwhelmed. This was what annoyed him the most. His marriage had just broken off not long ago, and mentioning this again made him want to kill someone.
"Let's talk about it later." Chi Mingwei waved his hand impatiently, as if to drive away this topic like a fly.
A moment later, there was a commotion at the door, sweeping in from far away.
The people who were originally chatting in the venue were attracted by the commotion. They looked at each other, and confusion was seen in their eyes.
Who is this important person? They all looked towards the door.
Uncle Chi frowned slightly and glanced at Chi Lin. Chi Lin chuckled, with a deeper look in his eyes.
The reporters who were squatting at the door suddenly became excited like sharks smelling blood. They carried cameras and microphones and ran quickly in one direction.
Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan arrived at the scene. As soon as their figures appeared, the scene became lively.
"It's Mr. Chi from Wenwan Group and his wife!"
"Mr. Chi, may I ask why you are here? Do you want to warn your cousin, or do you want to come back and divide the family property?"
"Boss Chi, there are rumors that you and the Chi family are not on good terms, so you came out to set up your own business. Is this true?"
The flashbulbs flickered on and on like lightning in a summer rainstorm.
Chi Wenyan frowned slightly. As usual, he protected Ji Wan. A group of bodyguards got out of the car behind Chi Wenyan and surrounded the two of them.
Wen Yan just glanced at them indifferently, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm here simply because someone invited me. Since they took the initiative to invite me, it's not easy for me, as their cousin, to refuse."
Chi Wenyan took out the invitation letter and showed it to the reporters, who took eight photos per second.
Chi Wenyan put away the invitation letter. Seeing that the reporters still wanted to ask more questions, he simply played Tai Chi and gave ambiguous answers, which made people feel that he had read the letter randomly.
"Are you grudge against the Chi family? The question of whether you have a grudge is both simple and complicated. If you have one, then you don't. If you don't have one, then you don't. Whether you have one or not requires you to use your brain."
The reporters at the scene were speechless for a moment. Ji Wan held back his laughter, wondering how Chi Wenyan could say this with such a cold face.
After sending away these reporters, Chi Wenyan took Ji Wan into the banquet.
Chi Lin and Uncle Chi were just at the door. Uncle Chi looked at Chi Wenyan coldly.
Chi Wenyan was too lazy to look at him and turned his gaze to Chi Lin.
"I've heard of my cousin's great name for a long time, and seeing him today, I'm sure he lives up to his reputation."
"This must be my sister-in-law, she's so pretty and a perfect match for my cousin."
Chi Wenyan brought Ji Wan behind him, his eyes turned cold, like an icy pond, staring straight at Chi Lin with a low voice.
"Chi Lin, I don't care what you do in our family. That's your business. If you try to do anything unnecessary to the people around me, I won't let you go easily."
Chi Lin smiled, and that smile seemed sincere, but there was a hint of unpredictable emotion in his eyes. He bowed slightly and said, "Cousin, what are you talking about? I have always admired you. Everyone knows your means and courage in the business world. We, the younger generation, can only look up to him. How dare we have any intention to do anything? After all, we are relatives. Such speculation is quite disheartening."
Chi Wenyan's lips curled up in a mocking manner.
"I hope you mean what you say, otherwise, no matter if you have the Chi family as your backer or not, I will not show mercy."
