The Chen family is richer than the Han family, but not as old as the Xue family. It can have the current scale and structure. Those who don't know it only think that there is no place for the Chen family in Yanjing. Who is qualified?
Those who know the truth understand that the Chen family is what it is today, thanks to a woman.
That was many years ago, probably twenty or thirty years ago. At that time, Han Zhenbei was just a young man who had just started his career. He was just a young man who was in love with the mother of his siblings. He was ambitious. , also has resilience, but are there few men like Han Zhenbei in Yanjing? Are they lacking? There are many, and there is no shortage. When Han Zhenbei is still looking forward to his future with sadness, the woman who is called the Queen of Yanjing has already She is the most feared woman in Yanjing.
She did not stand on the stage. She was always behind Mr. Chen and her brother. But everyone familiar with the matter knew that this woman supported the Chen family. You can not give face to Mr. Chen, but you must not give face to this woman.
Xue Bailing is so similar to her. She also became famous in the same way. She also has a broad mind and terrifying skills. The only difference is that she passed away early and because someone occasionally mentioned it in front of the young and powerful Mr. Chen. He turned against this woman on the spot and became so talkative that he never dared to talk nonsense again.
Not many people knew about it, and Mr. Chen was deliberately angry, so even fewer dared to mention the women here.
Time is the cruelest thing, it can make people grow old, and it can also make people learn to forget.
People no longer remember the woman who brought such a huge territory to the Chen family. What people remember is the benefits the Chen family gave them, and the newly appointed Chen Yifei.
People are the most forgetful creatures. They can even forget the innocent female classmate in elementary school who he secretly kissed. There is nothing else that cannot be forgotten.
No one cares about what a successful person or a successful family has experienced or encountered. What people focus on is the world in front of them, the necessities for survival, and the satisfaction of desires.
The Chen family is very lively,
The Chen family hasn’t been so lively for a long time.
There were all kinds of cars parked outside the huge house. Even if the Chen family's servants were deployed, it would be difficult to entertain so many guests. As a last resort, they could only hire some temporary waiters.
Everyone who enters the Chen family's house is carrying a gift worth at least 100,000 yuan, no upper limit. From this dinner alone, the Chen family said that they can earn tens of millions, which may not be earned by ordinary people in a lifetime. For the Chen family, who stood at the top of the pyramid, the wealth they received was nothing but a drop in the bucket. It was so small that even an eldest lady like Chen Xueqin, who got her pocket money on time every month and had no real power at all, didn't bother to take a second look.
The eldest lady of the Chen family can just go to a party, and her starting price is one million. The total number of jewelry items she wears is probably more than this price.
The world of the rich will never be understood by the poor, just like countless students in Yanyuan are confused by Chen Yifei's living conditions. He grew up with a golden key in his mouth, has more money than can be burned, and is so handsome that the ghosts and gods are shocked. , men whose learning ability is so strong that they can be called geniuses, why do they live the same life as them? If nothing else, is it difficult to change girlfriends in a week or a month? It can be done with a flick of the finger or even a look. Son, why doesn't he do it? Why doesn't he live a life of anger and jealousy like some rich second-generation officials?
A philosopher once said that people usually only see the happiness in others and the misfortune in themselves. He hit the nail on the head.
When Chen Yifei pushed his wheelchair into the hall, the eyes of over a hundred people were focused on them. Chen Yifei expressed his gratitude to the guests in a gentle and polite manner, and he squatted down very considerately and personally pulled the blanket for Mr. Chen. He said in a tone that no one else could hear: "Look, there are so many guests here, all of them are respectable people, right?"
"But they are definitely not here because of you, they are here for mother."
Chen Yifei stood up, handed the wheelchair to Chen Xueqin who was standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Brother, go entertain the guests. Take good care of your father and don't make any mistakes."
"Yeah, I know." Chen Xueqin carefully took the wheelchair and pushed her father to the chief executive to sit down.
…
There were no guests at the table where Mr. Chen sat. On the one hand, the old man was in poor health and was unable to greet the guests. On the other hand, the old man needed someone to take care of him. He needed someone to get up and wipe his sweat and mouth at any time. This was a problem for other guests. It's impolite, so under Chen Yifei's arrangement, Mr. Chen almost occupies a table to himself.
No one minded Chen Yifei's decision. Even Han Xiaoyi and Xue Bailing were sitting calmly at a table at the bottom. Who has the right to mind?
Xue Bailing and Han Xiaoyi were sitting at a table, separated by Lin Ze and Xue Gui. The other empty seats were occupied by the most powerful people from the first-tier wealthy families. Chen Yifei arranged for them to sit with the Han and Chen families. It directly reflects their status in Yanjing,
The Chen family's house is big enough, even bigger than the Han family's villa, so there is no need to worry about having no place to sit when guests come. With the newly recruited waiter, more than a hundred guests gather together to eat and chat happily.
Such gatherings happen every day in Yanjing, but not many big figures attend. Except for a few figures at the top of the pyramid, no one has such a big reputation.
Chen Yifei calmly toasted table after table, expressing his gratitude warmly. The first table he toasted to was of course the table where Han Xiaoyi and others were sitting. It seemed that the reserve and elegance of the past had faded away. Chen Yifei held a table with one hand. A bottle of Moutai, while the other hand held a cup, filled it with white wine and said: "Thank you for coming. I only offer you a glass of sake. Please bear with me."
Everyone got up and drank, which opened up the scene.
The wine was good, but Lin Ze didn't feel comfortable drinking it. For no other reason than that, Lin Ze found that not only Xue Gui looked at him with something wrong, but even Han Xiaoyi's occasional glance at him was full of meaning, and he was the only one who ignored him. Only Xue Bailing,
This woman is so unkind. I just offered her a drink, but she just drank a glass without saying a word.
Hey, last time I risked my own life to rescue you from the tiger's mouth. I would die if I said thank you.
Lin Ze was not a stingy person. He knew that Xue Bailing was proud of her, so he was not dissatisfied because of it. Instead, he dragged Xue Gui to drink. Drink, and occasionally I would take Xue Bailing for a drink. After all, the latter just drank and became taciturn. Occasionally, his eyes would glance at the chief, Mr. Chen, with a slightly weird expression.
Han Xiaoyi was also quite enthusiastic. When she saw the two men drinking happily, she couldn't help but turn around and come to Xue Bailing's side. She filled up the liquor herself and also filled up a glass for Xue Bailing. She raised her glass and said with a smile: "Aunt Xue, Have a drink.”
"Yeah." Xue Bailing picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good drinker." Han Xiaoyi complimented meaningfully,
"You're not bad either." Xue Bailing said lightly,
"I admit that you are prouder than me, but love will never favor a proud woman." Han Xiaoyi slightly squinted her beautiful eyes and said, "How about we make a bet."
"Not interested." Xue Bailing wrote lightly,
"Ha, are you afraid that I will get close to the water?" Han Xiaoyi smiled like a cunning fox,
"Whatever you think." Xue Bailing had a drink by herself.
"I didn't tell Lin Ze about your vigil. Well, I don't know what you think from my perspective, but I can tell you for sure that I, Han Xiaoyi, have never been a woman who admits defeat, even if the opponent is you. " Han Xiaoyi said word by word,
As soon as these words came out, Xue Bailing's hazy and charming eyes finally showed a hint of light. She slowly tilted her head and stared at Han Xiaoyi who was declaring war. The corner of her lips raised a charming arc. She suddenly stood up and raised her slender jade hand. Lin Ze was holding his drinking arm, and the volume was neither too loud nor too low, just enough for people at several nearby tables to hear: "Lin Ze, come with me to toast the old man for a drink."
