Chapter 367 Apology
Xiao Tingting soon heard the news that the ambassador brought his family to visit the Chen family.
He rolled his eyes and said to his mother, "Mom, the Chen family is actually colluding with foreigners. Let's talk to our important relatives about this. We must criticize their family and drive them out of Longcheng."
Xiao's mother clearly remembered that in the past few years, any family that found an English book would be in trouble. The Chen family was so openly as to associate with foreigners, so wasn't that a greater crime?
Then he thought about the last time he made his important relative angry, and said hesitantly, "Let's wait for your father to come back and discuss it."
When Xiao's father came back, the mother and daughter talked about the matter and their thoughts.
Father Xiao had also heard about this, of course. He frowned and looked at the two people and started to scold them rudely, "What do you know? Those foreigners who came to visit the Chen family are ambassadors, foreign friends, don't you understand? Even the big leaders would be polite to them, and you still want to take this opportunity to throw dirty water? Aren't you afraid of causing international disputes? Becoming the target of public criticism?"
"What? This matter can cause international disputes?"
"I just said that the foreigners who visit the Chen family are ambassadors, representing the face of the country. If they are treated unfairly in China, will they tolerate it? You better shut up."
The mother and daughter looked at each other in bewilderment, their hearts beating fast. Their little plan failed.
The news spread quickly, and even the important relatives of the Xiao family heard about it, but they did not take it seriously at all.
The senior leader who was in poor health soon got the news and learned that Mr. Chen had been treated unfairly recently.
He immediately called the Xiao family's backstage and asked seriously, "Why did you dismiss Mr. Chen?"
This person felt bitter and could only tell the truth: "Someone reported it, but later found no evidence. I asked him to reflect on himself..."
"Bang!" The big boss slammed the table and scolded, "Nonsense! Mr. Chen has been working for so many years and has no time to look for his child. How could such a good comrade be reported? If he had a problem, how could he have won so many battles in these years? Do you have a brain? I think you guys are causing trouble again?"
"It's unfair! If someone really reported it, I have to investigate."
The big boss continued seriously: "Send the informant to me immediately, and I will send someone to interrogate him personally!"
Someone who usually looked so arrogant suddenly broke out in sweat and said, "I'll go back and send someone to deliver it..."
A day later, he came back in fear and trepidation and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, the whistleblower committed suicide."
The leader understood what was going on and sneered, "He committed suicide out of fear of punishment, right? You should immediately apologize to Mr. Chen and have him reinstated to avoid causing international disputes."
This person immediately understood why the big boss protected Chen. It was not only because of the old man's contributions over the years, but also to maintain China's image in the world.
How could such a small thing have such consequences? He couldn't figure it out.
Then I thought, could it be that Old Man Chen did it on purpose?
The big boss looked over with a sharp gaze and condemned, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot?"
The man quickly retracted his thoughts and said respectfully: "I'll do it right away!"
When he led his men to the compound and had to go into Chen's house, he felt humiliated, but he had to smile and politely ask, "Is Mr. Chen home?"
At this moment, Wang Qiaolian and her husband went to work, and the lovely sisters went to study.
The two old men in the family were playing chess, Chen Kexin and Song Mo were studying, and Ping An was doing horse stance seriously.
Hearing the shouting, Chen Kexin walked out and saw several strangers coming.
She looked at the man walking in the middle. Although she didn't know him, she had seen him in newspapers and on the Internet in her previous life. He looked familiar, so she asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
The Xiao family's backers had long heard Xiao Tingting talk about the Chen family.
He forced a smile and said, "You are the girl, right? I am here to look for your grandfather. Is the old man at home?"
Chen Kexin thought that they had seen them before. They were her grandfather’s old comrades-in-arms, so she said politely, “He’s here. Please come in!”
A few people walked in and saw that not only was the Chen house tidy, but there were window grilles on the glass and colorful flowers and big red lanterns hanging on the trees, creating a strong New Year atmosphere.
These were arranged the day before the foreigners arrived.
The guests had left, but the decorations looked festive, and it was almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they hadn't been taken down yet.
A group of people walked into the living room, and the two old men who were playing chess were stunned when they saw people coming in.
Chen Jianguo asked coldly: "Why are you here?"
Wang Qingshan looked at the other party in surprise, not understanding what the meaning of this important person's visit was?
Song Mo hadn't gone out just now, and when he saw this man's expression change, he didn't understand what this man was up to.
The man said unhappily, "Why? I can't come?"
Chen Kexin saw the changes in the faces of several people and felt the tense atmosphere in the room. She asked curiously, "Grandpa, who is this?"
These words are like a stone thrown into a lake.
Chen Jianguo said meaningfully: "Ke Xin, let me introduce you, this is the noble relative of the Xiao family!"
Chen Kexin suddenly realized. No wonder this person looked familiar. It turned out that she had seen him on the Internet in her previous life.
She wondered in her heart, what was he doing here?
On the surface, she smiled and asked, "Leader, I heard you are very busy, how do you have time to come to my house? My grandfather has no position or power now, so there is no need for him to come to my house, right?"
No matter how thick-skinned one is, one would feel uncomfortable when being hit by a young girl. The man suddenly looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Chen Pingan understood, walked up to me and asked innocently: "What are you doing here? If not, please leave quickly. You are not welcome in my house."
The man's heart was suddenly filled with turmoil. For so many years, no one dared to say anything behind his back in front of him, and now he was being despised by a young boy.
He really wanted to vent his anger, but when he thought of his boss's order, he felt like a deflated ball.
He said, "You little brat, why are you interrupting when the adults are talking? Is this how the Chen family educates people?"
Chen Jianguo calmly rejected the offer, "I'm devoted to my work. I've abandoned my children and grandchildren for many years. I just found them. They are straightforward and honest, and I can't do anything about it. If you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush. I want to continue playing chess and don't have time to receive you, my distinguished guest."
The man was so angry that he almost fell backwards. He could only suppress his anger and said in a sarcastic tone: "Mr. Chen, I was wrong. You are so calculating that you even alarmed the senior leaders. From today on, I will be reinstated and I am here to apologize."
Chen Kexin smiled secretly in her heart. She didn't expect that she would get a lucky result by making friends with foreigners, which helped her solve her family's problems easily.
Just as she was about to say something, Ping An said in confusion: "Leader, your family's apology is very strange. It seems like you want to eat someone."
Hearing these childish words, everyone present burst into laughter.
Amidst the laughter, the man walked out with a few of his men, covered in dust.
I felt a mouthful of blood welling up, and I swallowed it down forcefully, feeling even more angry: "Mr. Chen, just wait..."
