Chapter 64
"Manman, are you okay? My parents and I are waiting for you." Chen Mocheng stood at the bedroom door, looking at his watch.
Chen Shiman had clearly informed him an hour in advance, but he insisted on starting to get ready half an hour before departure.
This made Chen Mocheng a little dissatisfied, but he just buried this feeling.
"Alright, alright, brother, don't rush me." Chen Shiman stood in front of the mirror, changing into his suits one by one. "Five more minutes, it will be ready soon."
Father Chen came up and pulled Chen Mocheng down. In fact, there was plenty of time, but Chen Mocheng was afraid that Chen Shiman would dawdle, so he deliberately moved the time forward by nearly an hour.
"This isn't the first time my brother has attended such an event, so it's normal for him to be a little slow. Don't rush him. Come on, sit down and have some tea. Why are you in such a hurry? If it really doesn't work, we can be a minute or two late."
Chen Mocheng immediately said: "How can this be possible!"
He is the person who values time the most.
Mother Chen helped to persuade her, "Okay, okay, Mom, go to the dressing room. My hair is a little messy. Ask them to fix it for me."
Chen Mocheng could see that his parents were making excuses for Chen Shiman, but since that was the case, he couldn't say much. It was just that Chen Mocheng was wronged, and the meeting with Miss Bai had to be postponed.
Today's evening party is hosted by the Bai family, and Miss Bai is the main planner.
Some things happened in the Bai family during this period, causing panic among the people. This business party is to celebrate the successful listing of the Bai family's company. All the prominent figures in City A are invited. The Chen family and the Bai family have always had a close relationship, and now they are needed to help support the event.
Chen Mocheng felt sorry for Miss Bai having to take care of the entire family alone, so he was busy thinking about going there as soon as possible.
Chen Shiman tossed and turned in the bedroom for several times before finally leaving the room feeling satisfied.
He was just about to show his beautiful outfit to his parents, but Chen Mocheng immediately grabbed the keys and rushed out without even glancing at Chen Shiman.
Seeing this, Chen Shiman immediately hugged his mother's arm and said with a pout, "Mom, look at my brother! He's just in a hurry to do that thing and doesn't even look at me. Look at me, am I good-looking?"
Chen Shiman looks like a colorful peacock.
Mother Chen covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, patting her youngest son's cheek. "Alright, don't make a scene today. This is Uncle Bai's most important event in the near future. We should go early to see if there's anything we can help with. Your brother is going to be unhappy if you're delayed like this today. You'll have to be smart when you meet that sister from the Bai family, okay?"
Mother Chen spoke earnestly.
She never expected this child to achieve great success like his brother. She even just hoped that he would live a happy life. She also left him a lot of money. But now, she found that perhaps it was because of their parents' pampering that made Chen Shiman more and more lawless, and even unable to distinguish right from wrong and priorities.
Chen Shiman pouted and nodded, saying that he knew he was wrong.
"Also, haven't you seen your little dad and mom for a long time? What have you been busy with recently? You rarely come back to see us on weekends, and you don't even go over there to visit. I don't see that you are busier than your brother." Mother Chen couldn't help but start to complain.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll go see them tomorrow."
Chen Shiman couldn't say that he was busy having an affair with someone else. If he dared to say it, he would not be able to leave the house tonight.
When the group arrived at the cocktail party, Chen Shiman met Miss Bai and Bai Yue again.
Compared to the last time we met, Miss Bai looked even more energetic and beautiful. She was wearing a long white dress, her hair tied up high, revealing her fair swan neck. She exuded a sense of confidence and brightness.
When Chen Mocheng saw Miss Bai, he moved forward. He stood beside Miss Bai and greeted the guests with her.
"Okay, Bai Yue, you and Shiman go play inside together. You are not needed here. You can go in and have something to eat." Miss Bai called her sister over and whispered in her ear.
In such a situation, as the Bai family is the host, they must be too busy to have any food to eat. It would be better to let the younger ones eat and drink their fill first.
Bai Yue nodded.
"By the way, don't sneak out at night. I have a surprise for you." Miss Bai instructed her sister, "If you sneak out and miss it, don't make a fuss with me when you come back."
Bai Yue covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling, her heart and eyes full of curiosity, "What is it? What is it? Can you tell me now?"
"I'll tell you why it's still a surprise. Now, take Chen Shiman in to eat. Don't starve yourself."
Then Bai Yue pulled Chen Shiman and they ran to the rest room. Bai Yue took out a lot of snacks and covered the entire table with them. "Hurry up and eat. I'm telling you, I brought the tablet. Let's start looking at my man of honor material now."
Chen Shiman nodded, "Then put it aside for a while."
"Okay." Bai Yue swiped back and forth on the tablet. "Brother, have you seen this episode?"
Chen Shiman glanced at it and replied to Gu Zhun's message calmly, saying casually that he had not seen it. Then Bai Yue took the potato chips and ate them with relish.
Chen Shiman didn't have much understanding of such occasions. He watched Bai Yue eating potato chips enthusiastically, so he took a piece and then looked at Gu Zhun's materials.
I don’t know what’s going on, but Chen Shiman missed Gu Zhun very much during this moment.
But Chen Shiman is not a particularly proactive person. It is impossible for him to call and say that he wants to see Gu Zhun's face.
But perhaps the two of them had a tacit understanding. Just as Chen Shiman was beginning to miss Gu Zhun, he received a call from Gu Zhun.
Chen Shiman felt guilty, so he covered his stomach and told Bai Yue that he was going to the toilet, and took the earphones away. Bai Yue bit the straw and said that she would wait for Chen Shiman to come back to watch it together.
Chen Shiman said no, then trotted into the bathroom, closed the door and put on headphones.
"Why do you look so hurried?" Gu Zhun looked Chen Shiman up and down, not missing even the slightest emotion.
Chen Shiman squatted on the ground and said, "I was just having dinner outside with my parents. Of course I had to hide when you called me." Chen Shiman didn't think he was wrong. He had just come out to eat and drink with his parents.
Gu Zhun said: "Oh, I suddenly missed you a little, and didn't consider whether it was convenient for you now. How about this, can we play for five minutes?" Gu Zhun begged humbly.
Chen Shiman smiled sweetly and said okay reluctantly, and then he would give him five minutes.
"I heard from Sister Weiwei that someone signed with our company. You didn't have any conflicts with them, did you?" Chen Shiman had just learned about this and hadn't intended to ask about it. But after thinking it over, he decided it would be better to give Gu Zhun a heads-up. "Even if there's something going on, don't get into fights with anyone in the company, okay? You can tell me and I can..."
Chen Shiman thought for a moment and said, "I can go deflate his tires after get off work."
Chen Shiman said this, making Gu Zhun laugh out loud.
But if Zhong Tianpei really bullies others and gets into conflict with Gu Zhun, Chen Shiman will definitely whisper in Chen Mocheng's ear to make things difficult for Zhong Tianpei. Only a fool would not use the ability and power in his hands.
He was willing to play this role-playing game with Gu Zhun, but that didn't mean anyone could bully him and touch his people.
Hearing this, Gu Zhun felt warm in his heart, "Okay, okay, I will definitely not act impulsively. Okay, go back and have dinner, don't keep your uncle and aunt waiting anxiously, I have an event here soon, and I will be in the car soon."
"What activity is it? How come I don't know about it?" Chen Shiman was puzzled.
"Nothing much, just going up to sing a couple of songs. When I'm done tonight I'll go find you at Jinshui Bay and take you out for some delicious food."
Chen Shiman hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." He would find a chance to escape when the time comes.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shiman walked out of the bathroom like a thief, and carefully looked around to see if there was anyone eavesdropping.
Back in the rest room, Bai Yue looked at him dissatisfiedly: "Why did you take so long, little brother!"
Chen Shiman glanced at the time. He and Gu Zhun were chatting so much that neither of them noticed the time, so naturally they had exceeded the five-minute limit.
"Sorry, I have a stomachache. Let's continue watching." Chen Shiman suggested.
"What are you looking at? My sister just said that the event is about to start and asked us to go out. I'm waiting here for you because you're not here. Otherwise, I would have gone out to play."
Chen Shiman quickly apologized, walked over, took Bai Yue's hand, and helped him up. "I'm really sorry, little brother, I won't do it again next time."
Bai Yue was a generous child and didn't take the matter to heart. Instead, he happily took the tablet and went out.
Chen Shiman followed behind him and looked in good condition.
As soon as he went out, the pleasant sounds of the entire event reached Chen Shiman's ears. He rarely participated in such activities, but he still knew what he needed to know.
He walked over to his parents and Chen Mocheng with a glass of champagne, stood beside them, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled very appropriately.
"Follow us. If we drink, you have to drink it all if I'm done. Otherwise, just take a couple of sips as a token of your appreciation." Chen Mocheng instructed.
Chen Shiman nodded.
Afterwards, Chen Shiman walked back and forth in the huge cocktail party, meeting this boss now and that lady now. Chen Shiman felt a little dizzy.
Watching Chen Mocheng handle these matters with ease, Chen Shiman once again marveled at his brother's abilities. He thought, Miss Bai is so capable, and so is his brother. Could two such powerful people really fall in love? Perhaps they would charge tens of thousands of yuan for even a minute together?
Chen Shiman followed his brother with the intention of getting drunk, but when he took the first sip, he found that it was not wine at all, but a sweet water made with Sprite with all the bubbles removed.
Chen Shiman looked calmly at his brother who was standing in front of him. His shoulders were as broad as his father's, he was tall and strong, his gestures were mature and steady, like a mountain that was slowly growing.
After the round was over, Chen Mocheng helped his brother sit on the sofa in the corner. "Pretend to be more conscientious. There's someone over there I need to meet. After that, I'll take you to the private room for dinner. Don't run around."
Chen Shiman nodded, shook his head as if to clear his mind a little, looked at the wandering crowd, and began to match these people with Chen Mocheng's previous introduction in his mind.
He just didn't care about these shopping mall matters, but now that his brother introduced him to them, he naturally tried his best to remember them.
