Chapter 256: Accompany Me to the Family Dinner
Xiao Jinlin pondered and said, "The 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Supreme Hotel."
"This time is really a bit long." Chen Xinyue was just thinking about how to refuse when she heard Xiao Jinlin offer, "Twenty thousand, plus all the clothes and jewelry that night will be yours."
"Deal!" Chen Xinyue agreed without hesitation. Her money-grubbing look made Xiao Jinlin secretly relieved. "You can ask Assistant Tang for the detailed requirements for that night. Make sure it's perfect."
Chen Xinyue gestured "OK" and ran to the assistant's office immediately after leaving the president's office. "Assistant Tang! I'm bothering you again! Please give me the dinner schedule. Sister Fei, you're here too!"
Seeing Chen Xinyue looking like she had picked up money, Lin Fei's eyes widened, "Xinyue, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Xinyue shook her head. "Nothing much. I just thought about the bonuses at the end of the year and wondered if I would get one!"
Lin Fei seemed to have found a soulmate, and excitedly pulled Chen Xinyue, "I was just thinking about this! I don't know how much money the company made this year. I guess it will be announced at the regular meeting next Monday, or maybe the week after next."
Tang Ming saw two women speaking loudly in his office and stopped them immediately. "My dears, can you be more low-key? This is a dinner arrangement."
Lin Fei stuck out her tongue, looked around, and quickly ran away.
Chen Xinyue looked at it carefully and raised her eyes suspiciously, "No, I'm talking about the banquet on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month."
"Puff!" The coffee in Tang Ming's mouth sprayed out, "Excuse me? The boss asked you to go to a dinner with him on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month?"
Chen Xinyue nodded blankly, "It's a private trip, at the Supreme Hotel, is there any problem?"
Tang Ming laughed dryly, "No problem!"
He turned around and typed on the computer. "That's the boss's personal schedule. It's not on the work schedule, but it's within my responsibility. Listen to me, there's a tough battle to fight that day. You have to..."
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, after clocking in at the company, Chen Xinyue immediately went to the club to get her hair done.
Tang Ming came over holding a few large exquisite boxes, "Secretary Chen, the dress and jewelry are here. They match the boss's. It's up to you tonight."
Chen Xinyue took a deep breath, ready to die. She was about to touch the gift box, but quickly put it back. She gritted her teeth and looked at Tang Ming, confirming again and again, "So I just need to make those people misunderstand the relationship between me and Mr. Xiao, right? No need to say it clearly, no need to sacrifice, and no danger!"
Tang Ming nodded heavily, "Oh! Secretary Chen, you believe me! If it weren't for some elders who are difficult to refuse, President Xiao wouldn't have dragged you into this."
What you said!
Chen Xinyue was helpless, but when she thought of the performance bonus she had just received and the extra money, she put on a smile again.
After the styling is done, I will change into the dress and jewelry.
The dress she wore tonight was more intellectual and elegant. It was a beige floor-length dress with a pure white fur waistcoat and a pair of diamond-studded high heels. Her jewelry was a set of jadeite white moonlight. Apart from anything else, the white moonlight jadeite bracelet on her wrist must have cost six figures. The thickness and diameter of the 18K diamond-studded white moonlight pendant on her neck were not cheap either. The pigeon egg-shaped ring and the pair of earrings on her ears were also very expensive.
Chen Xinyue didn't dare to estimate the price any further. After getting dressed, she walked out carefully.
The crowd outside was all amazed.
Tang Ming even gave a thumbs up in praise, "Secretary Chen, I knew it, I knew it! The boss has good taste! Even if you don't dominate the whole venue tonight, you will definitely not be outdone by others! It's amazing! Let's go, Uncle Fang is waiting outside, let's pick up the boss and then go to the Supreme Hotel."
Chen Xinyue didn't know whether she wanted to sit in the passenger seat out of habit or not, but was pushed to the back by Tang Ming.
The car arrived downstairs of the company and Xiao Jinlin waited for a while before getting out.
As the car door opened, Xiao Jinlin saw Chen Xinyue waving at him politely. He was dazed for a moment, then he lowered his eyelids and sat in the car as if nothing had happened.
On the way.
Xiao Jinlin said slowly, "Those present tonight include my grandparents, my aunt's family, my uncle and aunt, my parents, and my brother and sister-in-law. In addition to them, there may be other accompanying persons.
I was raised by my grandparents since I was a child. I have a cold relationship with my parents, and I have only superficial friendship and politeness with my eldest brother. We usually get along with each other in a proper manner and don't bother me on our own initiative, except for this family dinner every year.
There are always some blind people who take advantage of the presence of grandparents and other elders and think they are righteous. I am very annoyed. What you need to do is to deal with those annoying guys and make them stop thinking about my marriage. "
As if he was thinking of some unpleasant past, there was a hint of hostility between Xiao Jinlin's brows.
Chen Xinyue took a deep breath, "I understand! Mr. Xiao, what will happen if I say something wrong and accidentally offend someone?"
Xiao Jinlin expressed his doubts, but did not say anything. He only pondered and said, "As long as you don't offend my grandparents, everything else is fine."
atmosphere!
Chen Xinyue felt relieved.
As they were talking, the car pulled into the parking lot of the Supreme Hotel.
The two of them immediately held hands in tacit understanding from the moment they got off the car.
Tang Ming felt awkward watching them from behind, and quickly called out, "Boss, Secretary Chen, be more natural, be more natural."
It's like going to the battlefield, what's going on?
Xiao Jinlin and Chen Xinyue looked at each other awkwardly and tried to control their expressions again.
Xiao Jinlin stretched out his hand, "I'm sorry for offending Miss Chen."
Before Chen Xinyue could react, Xiao Jinlin had already taken her hand. This was their first physical contact.
It's quite stressful.
Xiao Jinlin felt the smoothness and bonelessness in his hand. He felt something strange for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.
The two of them walked into the dinner room hand in hand.
Xiao's mother, Mu Qinglian, was making funny jokes beside Old Madam Xiao, while the eldest daughter-in-law, Guo Lingyue, was echoing and smiling at the side. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were trying their best to compete for favor with Old Madam Xiao's daughter, Xiao Qiuyu.
Xiao Qiuyu was very angry.
Just at this time Xiao Jinlin brought Chen Xinyue over.
Everyone's pupils were shocked and they all looked up.
Finally, his eyes fell on the two people's clasped hands.
Guo Lingyue stood up suddenly, and when she realized that she had lost her composure, she pulled the corners of her mouth dryly, "I am just too shocked. This is a family dinner tonight, it's not appropriate for my uncle to bring outsiders over!"
Xiao Jinlin lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Didn't my sister-in-law bring outsiders with her? What's the matter? You can bring people with you, but I can't? Besides, the people I brought with me were not outsiders."
This is my secretary!
The gorgeously dressed woman next to Guo Lingyue immediately had red eyes and was about to cry.
