When Chen Jianguo led the military bosses out of the presidential suite, at the other end of the corridor, Yan Qinglai, the head of the Yan family, also walked out of the room with a group of people.
In stark contrast to Chen Jianguo, most of the people who followed Yan Qing were from the officialdom. When they walked, their bodies were not as upright as those military bosses, and their eyes were not as sharp as those of the military bosses, but they were shrewd.
Incomparable.
The two parties met at the elevator entrance, and while congratulating Chen Jianguo and Yan Qinglai, they also greeted each other. Whether they were sincere or not is another matter.
After all...for a long time, people in the military and official circles have been unable to urinate in the same pot.
Later, Chen Jianguo led the military boss into an elevator, while Yan Qinglai and the people around him walked into another elevator.
When Chen Jianguo, Yan Qinglai and their entourage came downstairs, the door of the hotel was already filled with bigwigs from various parties who had come to attend the engagement ceremony today. They stood in order according to their status, with serious expressions.
Seeing Chen Jianguo, Yan Qinglai and the others walking towards the door of the hotel, almost everyone turned their eyes towards him, and the excitement in their eyes was not concealed at all.
After all, in addition to the upcoming people who stand at the peak of the power pyramid, Chen Jianguo, Yan Qinglai and their group represent the pinnacle of power, especially the group of people behind Chen Jianguo, who are all people with military power and are exposed to the public.
The opportunities may not be as great as those behind Yan Qinglai, but their energy is not inferior at all, or even slightly stronger.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Jianguo and Yan Qinglai walked side by side, with the two groups of people behind them two meters apart.
Soon, they walked to the front of the crowd on the red carpet, which symbolized celebration, and stood in sequence.
Perhaps because the weather was too cold, the fountain in front of the hotel was not turned on. The bright five-star red flag was waving in the cold wind. The street in front of the hotel was empty. A few cars could be vaguely seen driving slowly in front of the street.
, the centermost one is a minibus.
Five cars followed the minibus in front, rear, left and right, forming a "C" shape to protect the minibus in the center.
Generally speaking, when those big shots inspect a certain place, they will take a minibus that has been modified and has excellent defensive performance. The reason why we took the minibus today was just to go there together.
Seeing the minibus approaching, the hotel was quiet in front of the hotel. Even the protagonists of the engagement ceremony, Yan Qingdi and Chen Ning, stood upright with serious expressions on their faces.
Fan Xian and his fiancée Lin Ying stood at the back of the crowd. In the crowd, Lin Ying's expression looked extremely excited, so much so that his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Obviously, this is her first time appearing in such a scene!
Although Fan Xian was born into a noble family, this was the first time he had seen such a big scene today. In comparison, he did not appear too excited, but the pride in his eyes was not concealed at all!
That's right...
It’s proud!
Because Fan Xian had observed in the hall before, apart from the children of the Yan family and the Chen family, the only young generation who came to participate in the engagement ceremony today were him and Lin Ying!
This is enough to make him proud, and it also gives him the capital to be proud!
Gradually, in a quiet wait, the minibus carrying the big shot slowly arrived at the door of the hotel.
The first person to open the door was the Hongqi car at the front. The door opened, and an ordinary-looking man in his thirties immediately got out of the car and walked to the minibus. He opened the door and welcomed the big shot to get off.
Seeing this scene, everyone including Chen Jianguo and Yan Qinglai subconsciously straightened their bodies and their pupils suddenly dilated.
Afterwards, the No. 1 figure who often appeared on the news network stepped out of the minibus with a smile on his face and waved to everyone with a smile.
After he got off the car, several other big guys got off the car one after another. At the same time, Chen Jianguo and Yan Qingdi hurriedly greeted him.
"Jianguo, Qinglai, congratulations." Seeing the two people approaching, Number One smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Jianguo and Yan Qinglai respectively.
"Thank you, Chairman, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the engagement ceremony of Qing Emperor and Ning'er." Chen Jianguo said first, but his heart was as bright as a mirror - if Mr. Chen hadn't been here in person today, these people might not have come to support him. After all,
, this is just an engagement ceremony, not a marriage, and even if they get married, they may not participate because of their status!
"It should be." Number one always smiled, and the people behind him also agreed.
Later, Chen Jianguo and Yan Qinglai shook hands with the big guys behind the No. 1 figure.
After a brief exchange of greetings, No. 1 had no intention of entering the hotel. Instead, he smiled and said: "I just received a report that Mr. Chen is on the way and will be there soon. Let's all wait for a while."
As soon as this was said, no one objected!
Even though any one of them would have supreme authority, it would not be easy for them to meet Mr. Chen.
Then, under everyone's gaze, a group of people headed by the No. 1 figure, representing the pinnacle of power, stood in front of the crowd, quietly waiting for Mr. Chen's arrival.
Among the guests present today, except for those who have reached a certain level of status, most of them did not know that Mr. Chen would be here in person.
For this reason, seeing No. 1 leading Chen Jianguo, Yan Qinglai and the others stood there without entering the hotel, those who did not know the inside story were stunned.
It's just that... because the scene was so special, those who had been in high positions for a long time, although they were extremely curious, did not ask out loud, but thought about it thoughtfully, and after a while they guessed what was going on.
This made them all sigh in their hearts: As long as the nearly 100-year-old old man of the Chen family does not die, no one can shake the status of the Chen family!!
Compared with those big bosses who have been in the officialdom for a long time, Lin Ying is much simpler. She doesn't know what happened. She has a curious expression on her face, and even Fan Xian on the side is a little confused.
In his opinion, after the polite greetings, the No. 1 person should lead everyone into the hotel in order of their status...
"Husband, why don't they go in?" Lin Ying couldn't help but asked Fan Xian quietly.
Fan Xian shook his head in confusion.
"My old man is coming!" Just as Fan Xian shook his head, a fourth-generation member of the Chen family beside him couldn't help but said softly, his expression extremely excited!
Mr. Chen is coming?!
Hearing this sentence in shock, Fan Xian and Lin Ying suddenly realized. When they looked at it again, the members of the Chen family next to them of the same age all had excited expressions on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xian couldn't help but feel jealous!
Even Emperor Yan Qing in front was a little jealous...
After all, the only person who can make these big figures at the pinnacle of power be willing to wait together is the old man of the Chen family.
In a sense, there are still some differences between the Yan family and the Chen family.
Like all members of the Chen family, Chen Ning beside Emperor Yan Qing also looked very excited!
It's just that... she was excited not because of the arrival of Mrs. Chen, nor because she felt proud as a member of the Chen family, but because she knew that she was about to see the cousin she had admired for a long time.
…
Chen Fan and Susan didn't know about all this. They still chatted with Old Mrs. Chen as before, making the old man laugh.
suddenly--
When the old-style extended Hongqi was less than three kilometers away from the Yanjing Hotel, Xiao Zhuzi, who was in charge of driving, received the report from his subordinates through the radio. He hesitated for a moment, turned around and said: "Old chief, the news I just received
, all the guests attending the engagement ceremony today are waiting for you at the door."
After saying this, Xiaozhuzi already had the answer in his heart before Old Mrs. Chen could speak.
Based on his understanding of Old Mrs. Chen, he can guarantee that Old Mrs. Chen will definitely let those people enter the hotel first.
Because... Mr. Chen has always been a person who doesn't like to show off.
"I understand." However, to Xiao Zhuzhu's expectation, Mr. Chen did not react too strongly.
"Old chief, will you let them in?" Mr. Chen's attitude stunned Xiao Zhuzhu for several seconds. Then, his expression looked extremely confused. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked again.
This time, Mr. Chen did not answer in a hurry, but pondered for a few seconds before slowly saying: "Since they are willing to wait, let them wait."
Buzz!
Hearing Old Mrs. Chen's words in shock, Xiaozhu's head felt dizzy. He felt that there was something wrong with his ears at this moment. The shock in his heart was indescribable!
Perhaps Mr. Chen's words were beyond Xiao Zhuzhu's expectations and gave him an unacceptable shock. He was so excited that his hands holding the steering wheel trembled violently.
This tremor caused the car to sway.
Not only Xiao Zhuzi, but Chen Fan on the side was also surprised by Mrs. Chen's unexpected attitude.
Although Chen Fan has not been with Mr. Chen over the years, he is still very familiar with Mr. Chen's consistent style. In his opinion, Mr. Chen, who has the fine tradition of the older generation of revolutionary pioneers, has never talked about ostentation in his life!
Not once!!
Compared to Chen Fan and Xiao Zhuzhu, Susan didn't hear the implication, but she felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to have so many people waiting for the three of them, so she held Old Mrs. Chen's arm and persuaded with a smile: "Old Mrs.
, It’s not good to have so many people waiting for us, let’s just let them go in first.”
"Silly boy, the old lady did it on purpose." Old lady Chen smiled kindly, and while stroking Susan's head, a shrewd light flashed in his eyes.
On purpose...
When they heard these three words in shock, both Chen Fan and Xiao Zhuzhu were shaken violently!
Especially Xiaozhu, if he hadn't been mentally strong enough, he might have driven the car directly onto the sidewalk!
Chen Fan wasn't much better, even though his heart was already extremely firm, it was beating wildly at this moment because Mr. Chen said these three words!
Because... he knows very well what these three words mean!
"Old Master..." After a brief shock, Chen Fan tried to say something.
However, before Chen Fan could say the next words, Mr. Chen interrupted him with a smile: "Silly boy, the old man knows that you don't want to do that. You think that is too ostentatious, unnecessary and meaningless."
Chen Fan nodded in acquiescence.
Obviously, he could imagine who would attend the engagement ceremony today, and he could also imagine what kind of situation would happen if he and Mrs. Chen got off the car together.
"Silly boy, you have worked hard for twenty-one years, but you have gained nothing. And those unworthy descendants have done nothing, but are enjoying the benefits. This... is not fair! What those unworthy descendants can have, you can't live without!
" Seeing Chen Fan nodding, Mr. Chen spoke again. He sighed softly: "I have never shown my identity or made a show of pomp and circumstance in my life. Today, I will make an exception for you!"
"Today, the old man will give you what he has not given you in the past twenty-one years at once!!"
At the end of the sentence, the old man's back straightened up and his expression became firmer than ever.
