Chapter 3 Xie Tong
Over there, Shen Chutang and Xie Tong had already run into the front hall like two little butterflies. Among the various dresses and suits, the white dress was particularly eye-catching and attracted attention.
Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed from running, which reminded people of the poem "The red rouge shines through the rain on the begonia tree". Her eyes were smiling, and many people stopped to look at her.
Shen Chutang seemed unaware that Xie Tong was holding her as if she was sealed at the pastry table.
"Tangtang! This is delicious! Come and try it!" Xie Tong whispered as he passed the plate to Shen Chutang, "This is delicious too!"
Shen Chutang was actually a little full, but the kohlrabi on the plate looked really tempting, exuding an alluring aroma. She picked it up and took a bite. The sweet taste instantly made her brows relax.
"Isn't it delicious? Better than what I had abroad." Xie Tong said happily, and took another one and took a big bite.
"It's delicious, but I can't eat any more." Shen Chutang finished the remaining half of the popsicle in his hand and wiped his hands with the handkerchief beside him.
"Let's go sit over there." Shen Chutang suggested aggrievedly. She was tired.
Xie Tong was eating happily, putting several snacks on the plate. He held the plate in one hand and held her arm with the other. "You just ate too little. You need to eat more to have strength."
How can someone not have a desire for delicious food?
In fact, it’s not that Shen Chutang has no desire for food, it’s just that she is too well-fed on a daily basis. She won’t touch anything that doesn’t suit her taste for a second time.
As soon as he arrived at the sofa, Shen Chutang couldn't wait to sit down, sinking into the soft sofa, and let out a long breath, "It's still comfortable to sit on it."
Xie Tong smiled and pinched her cheeks twice, "Then you just sit down. I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I need to eat more."
"Eat, eat. No one will stop you even if you eat it all." Shen Chutang leaned back on the sofa, listening to Xie Tong boasting while eating, feeling both amused and helpless.
I'm a little curious, why would someone like to eat so much?
It is said that only people with the same frequency can become good friends, but they are not like that. Xie Tong likes to be lively, while she likes to be quiet. Xie Tong is full of energy every day, while she likes to sleep in every day.
The two people didn't have much in common, but they would accompany each other to do the things they liked. Gradually, as if attracted by some kind of magical force, the two people became good friends.
The two of them met when they were in the first grade of junior high school. Before junior high school, Shen Chutang was a teacher hired by her family and went to school in junior high school. When she met Xie Tong for the first time, she felt very familiar with him, as if they had known each other for a long time. Later, they became good friends.
Shen Chutang was almost falling asleep sitting on the sofa when suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, accompanied by the sound of chairs being moved.
Xie Tong had just finished his last snack. After wiping his hands, he shook Shen Chutang's arm and said, "Wake up, Tangtang."
Shen Chutang opened his eyes and found that everyone around him stood up. It turned out that the banquet was about to begin. Shi Chengyu, Mr. Shi and Shi's father entered the venue together, followed by many people, but Shen Chutang only knew Shi Hexun and Xue Wanqiu.
She stood up and straightened her skirt.
Only then did Xie Tong realize that her skirt was embroidered with intricate patterns. It was hard to see from a distance, but when he got closer he realized that the embroidery was very delicate. It was just a simple white skirt, but it looked very luxurious.
"Whose shop did you order it from?" Xie Tong teased her with a smile, while reaching out to shake the hem of her skirt twice.
Shen Chutang looked down and said, "I don't know. I just wore whatever the stylist told me to wear."
"Okay, okay, even if I knew who made it, I still can't afford it."
Xie Tong curled her lips and looked at the only white dress in the whole venue. She didn't doubt at all that the stylist made her wear the wrong dress. There was only one possibility for her to wear it. It was not the first time that Shi Chengyu did this.
This banquet was ostensibly for Shi Chengyu's birthday, but in reality it was a handover of power for the entire group.
From today onwards, Shi Chengyu will truly be the person in charge of the Shi family.
Shi Chengyu started to learn about business at the age of ten, and got involved in the Shi family's business at the age of fifteen. It only took him seven years from just learning to gradually getting the hang of it, and then to being in charge today.
Shi Hexun had to admit that Shi Chengyu was better than him and more suitable for working in this business empire.
Many people were eyeing the Shi Corporation, but Shi Chengyu not only managed to hold on to it, he also expanded the business empire.
In the past two years, the entire Shi family was even used as a trap. Everyone thought that the Shi family was going to go bankrupt, and some even thought that the Shi family was going to fall.
But everything changed overnight, someone else fell, and Shi's became the most powerful company in the industry. This was also a graduation report for Shi Hexun, allowing him to hand over Shi's to him with confidence.
Shi Hexun was both angry and helpless. On the one hand, he admired his courage which was no less than his in his youth, and on the other hand, he scolded him a few times.
The scheme was so realistic that Mr. Shi came to him several times to ask him to go back and take over the household affairs.
Even Shen Chutang heard about it. When she heard that the Shi family was going to go bankrupt, she just knew that they would need a lot of money, so she gave all the cards she had received over the years to Shi Chengyu, even the balance in WeChat.
She never needed to spend money, and those cards had been with her for a long time. She didn't know how much money was in them, so she just stuffed all the money into Shi Chengyu's arms.
Shi Chengyu was amused by her and laughed continuously. Unusually, he did not refuse her. However, he returned the cards to her after a while.
She said thank you for helping her through a difficult time, but there was no difficult time at all. It was just an excuse for him to put money into her card.
Shen Chutang's gaze fell accurately on Shi Chengyu. He stood among the crowd, and it seemed as if the lights were particularly fond of him, shining on him, making him look like he was glowing.
As if they had telepathy, Shi Chengyu looked over, and their eyes met in the air, and they laughed at the same time.
After Mr. Shi finished his speech, there was applause from the audience. Shen Chutang also clapped along with a sweet smile.
Xie Tong suddenly pulled her arm and said, "Tangtang, I think I've seen that person on TV."
On the military channel that her father loved to watch, if she couldn't find anyone there right now, she really wanted to pull her father over to watch his idol.
"Which one?" Shen Chutang looked in the direction of her finger, and when he saw the direction of her finger, he quickly pulled her hand down.
Several people over there were toasting and chatting with Old Master Shi. Shen Chutang was about to curse them in a low voice when she saw Shi Chengyu waving at her and asking her to pass.
Shen Chutang squeezed her hand and said, "Just eat your food obediently, don't talk nonsense, and don't point fingers at others."
After saying that, Shen Chutang lifted her skirt and walked through the crowd towards that direction.
"Hello, Master Shi." Shen Chutang greeted sweetly and stood next to Shi Chengyu.
Shi Chengyu naturally held her shoulders and introduced her, "Grandpa, this is Tangtang."
"What a pretty little girl! How old are you this year?" Shi Tingyue looked at the delicate little girl in front of him and couldn't help but praise her.
"Grandpa, I'm turning sixteen next month."
"Wow, you're so beautiful at the age of sixteen. Grandpa will give you a birthday present on your birthday." Shi Tingyue said with a smile and touched the little girl's head.
He looks cute, no wonder this kid is so cute all the time.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Shen Chutang agreed generously, smiled playfully, and looked up at Shi Chengyu.
"Grandpa, I'll take Tangtang to rest first."
Shi Chengyu touched the back of Shen Chutang's head twice, then took her hand and walked to the side.
"Go ahead, go ahead." Shi Tingyue said. He had heard that the little girl was in poor health. A few years ago, Shi Chengyu asked him to ask someone to buy a lot of expensive medicinal herbs and supplements for her, and he has been doing so all these years.
