Madam is a dandy, Mr. Shen loves her so much

Mr. Shen's birthday banquet was the first grand dinner hosted by the Shen family in many years.

Therefore, its Shenghuai Hotel ceased operations three months ago and all hotel facilities, including the banquet hall, were renovated and replaced with new ones.

The renovated Shenghuai Hotel is even more glorious than before.

As Shen Jiyuan's wife, Cen Xuan certainly needs to attend to Mr. Shen's birthday party with all her heart.

So when the old lady inspected the hotel, she came over early to accompany her.

Also with them were Tang Rong, Shen Zhiyue, and Shen Muze's fiancée.

Seeing Cen Xuan from a distance, the old lady took him in her hand affectionately.

Tang Rong cordially introduced Jiang Siyu next to her.

"This is Cen Xuan, Ji Yuan's wife. You should have seen her before."

This Miss Jiang had a cooler temperament. She only nodded politely to Cen Xuan and said nothing more.

The old lady didn't think so, she just held Cen Xuan's hand and said happily.

"I selected some dishes last time, and the chef will come over and cook them again today. It just so happens that you can try them too and see how they taste."

Cen Xuan nodded obediently, "Grandma's taste has always been excellent. You think it tastes good, so of course it won't be bad."

The old lady was quite happy after hearing what she said.

"What a sweet mouth."

Shen Zhiyue glanced at the two of them and continued to play with her phone with her head down.

Everyone in the Shen family knows that grandma likes Cen Xuan.

Even though Cen Xuan forced her sister to commit suicide this time, the old lady, who was always kind-hearted, did not express any dissatisfaction with Cen Xuan.

It really takes Aiwujiwu to the extreme.

As they were talking, the restaurant manager came over and informed a few people that the dishes were ready.

The round table is filled with thirty-six dishes, ranging from cold dishes, soups, stir-fries to snacks and cold dishes.

Cen Xuan herself couldn't help but sigh that the Shen family was really wealthy.

"Let's eat slowly, taste slowly, and change the dishes if they don't fit." The old lady said and put a chopstick dish on Cen Xuan's plate.

"Thank you grandma."

Cen Xuan thanked her and started to taste the food with her chopsticks.

This time the chef hired is of the highest standard from Jianghuai and is said to have inherited the most traditional Jianghuai cuisine.

Traditional Jianghuai cuisine tends to be sweet, which is liked by many people.

"Grandma, this duck is pretty good." Cen Xuan made a satisfied gesture to the old lady.

The old lady was even happier to see her like this.

"I know you must like to eat. The stewed meat is quite bad. Eat more." The old lady greeted Cen Xuan happily.

I wish I had to put every dish on her plate.

"Mom, this fish is good, you can try it."

After hearing Tang Rong's words, the waiter standing nearby came forward wearing gloves, holding a piece of fish with chopsticks, and put it on the old lady's plate before retreating.

"Siyu, don't be restrained, we are all family members." Tang Rong greeted Jiang Siyu.

The other person just smiled and ate slowly and in an extremely regular manner.

Seeing her like this, Tang Rong felt extremely uncomfortable.

This Miss Jiang is extremely polite and well-behaved. She has been taught no faults in both hospitality etiquette and table manners.

But it's really a bit too disciplined, and I don't talk when I eat or sleep.

Haven't you seen that Cen Xuan is so popular with old ladies?

"Grandma, you are here to test the food, not to feed me. You will support Sister-in-law later."

Shen Zhiyue looked at the old lady and reminded her.

There's a big difference between tasting food and eating. Don't lose sight of priorities.

"It's not a big problem. As long as A-Xuan likes to eat, everything else will be pretty much the same."

The old lady replied.

Shen Zhiyue muttered something partial.

When she was almost done eating, Cen Xuan got up and went to the bathroom.

When she came out to wash her hands, Jiang Siyu happened to walk up to her.

She put her handbag on the shelf nearby, washed her hands, took out her cosmetics and started touching up her makeup.

When Cen Xuan wiped her hands and was about to leave, Jiang Siyu's words came from behind.

"I used to think that you were not a flattering person, but I didn't expect that you could make the old lady so happy."

There aren't many other people around here.

After confirming that she was talking to herself, Cen Xuan stopped.

"You're talking about me."

Jiang Siyu powdered her face in front of the mirror.

"I've seen you several times at Jianghuai's various dinner parties before, and I thought you wouldn't give in."

Cen Xuan, who used to be under the protection of the Cen family, was so lively and informal.

I didn't expect it to be like this now.

"No wonder Mrs. Shen likes you so much." She paused, "No, it's Shen Jiyuan who will marry you. If you can win the old lady's favor, the probability that he will become the heir will be very high."

With a snap, the powder cake in Jiang Siyu's hand closed.

When she looked at Cen Xuan, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.

When she was about to go out with her handbag, Cen Xuan moved a step and blocked her.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Siyu frowned and looked at her. She had also heard of Cen Xuan beating people at banquets before.

If this person goes crazy, he really won't care.

Sensing her fear, Cen Xuan almost laughed.

You just have so little courage to provoke her.

"My tutor since I was a child is to respect the elderly. How I treat my grandma is because I respect her. Naturally, she will give me more favor in return. If this is flattering in your eyes, then it has always been the same. The Jiang family, who are known for their strict upbringing, are actually just superficial people."

Most of the wealthy families these days like to set up their own personas.

The Jiang family is showing weakness now, and the ones that can market it are the scholarly family with strict upbringing, so the children of the Jiang family will not be found guilty of any mistakes in etiquette and rules outside.

"Cen Xuan, who do you think you are? You dare to comment on the Jiang family." Jiang Siyu said very displeased.

Cen Xuan looked at her without any fear.

"Don't talk about other people's rights and wrongs behind their backs. This is the way of a gentleman. It is disrespectful to elders and violates the filial piety and brotherhood. I can't see the etiquette of the Jiang family from you."

Jiang Siyu reacted and hurriedly retorted, "That's not what I meant. Don't talk nonsense. I'm just telling the facts. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Facts?" Cen Xuan looked at her from head to toe.

The look in his eyes made Jiang Siyu's back feel cold.

"You said that Shen Jiyuan used me to please grandma to achieve his goal of becoming a leader. Then I would like to ask you, is it possible that the Jiang family married you to Shen Muze because you really love him?"

Jiang Siyu was speechless.

What the Jiang family values ​​only is the financial resources of the Shen family.

"Don't you hope in your heart that Shen Muze can become the leader of the Shen family, and that you can be aloof after becoming a veritable Mrs. Shen? They are all fish in the quagmire, and no one is nobler than the other."

Hearing her words, Jiang Siyu retorted.

"Do you dare to say that you love Shen Jiyuan? Don't you have other motives for marrying him?"

"I dare." Cen Xuan answered simply.

She and Shen Jiyuan made it clear from the beginning.

Everyone gets what they need, there is nothing to hide. She did what Mrs. Shen should do, and Shen Jiyuan became her support.

The two of them were originally a combination of interests and had nothing to hide.

Cen Xuan stepped forward and patted Jiang Siyu on the shoulder.

"Humans, you always have to pay a price for getting something. You can't say sarcastic words and laugh at people who are climbing up, and enjoy everything in a high-sounding way. There is actually no shame in confessing your own desires."

Jiang Siyu's face turned red from suppressing her emotions, she bumped Cen Xuan's shoulder away and hurried away.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Shen Zhiyue listened to the conversation between the two.

Jiang Siyu didn't even see her when he left in a hurry.

What Cen Xuan said was really heartbreaking.

She also couldn't stand Jiang Siyu's pretentious appearance. He clearly wanted to cling to the powerful, but he pretended to be forced to do so.

From this point of view, Cen Xuan really has a way to defeat the enemy.

Seeing the person leaving, Cen Xuan turned around and washed her hands again before leaving the bathroom.

In addition to tasting the dishes this time, they also looked at the decoration of the hotel. After all, after the decoration is completed, it will be used to entertain guests attending the birthday banquet.

No carelessness is allowed.

The Shen family spent a lot of money, and of course they would get good results.

Cen Xuan walked around until three o'clock in the afternoon before driving to the Jade Association.

The old lady looked at Cen Xuan's car leaving, looking very energetic.

"There's no big problem now. All we have to do is send the invitation letter."

After hearing this, Tang Rong stepped forward and said, "The invitation this time was handwritten by Siyu. Her handwriting is so beautiful. She stayed up all night."

Shen Zhiyue almost laughed when she heard this.

The eldest aunt really goes out of her way to groom her daughter-in-law in front of grandma.

The old lady gave her some face, looked at Jiang Siyu and said "Thank you for your hard work."

She replied with a downcast expression.

The Jade Association made an appointment to meet Cen Xuan at three o'clock because the carving rights had been determined for her.

Before officially starting the carving work, some detailed requirements need to be explained in a meeting.

When Cen Xuan came to the Jade Association, in addition to the judges of the organizing committee, there were also President Yu and Tong Lechuan in the office.

When he saw her coming in, Tong Lechuan raised his hand to say hello.

"Now that everyone is here, let's officially have the meeting."

When Cen Xuan was wondering why Tong Lechuan would appear here, Li Shuwan, who was sitting opposite her, spoke.

She wore a bohemian style shawl today, and she looked very artistic.

Coupled with the proper maintenance, it is impossible to tell that someone is already running for fifty.

"The theme of today's meeting is very simple. It focuses on the question of who should be given the carving rights for the national jade carvings. I compared the data of Cen Xuan and Tong Lechuan. The expressiveness of their works is very good, and the difference in scores is very small."

Li Shuwan said as he spread out the documents and papers on the table.

Qin Gengli sneered coldly.

"You really did everything you could. Just to avoid giving the carving rights to Cen Xuan, you even arranged for Tong Lechuan to come over."

Cen Xuan looked at Li Shuwan after hearing this. She had heard about the fight between her father and Li Shuwan.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

Both of them are leaders of their generation.

I have been fighting for more than ten years.

"Gengli." As soon as Mr. Yu's voice came out, everyone who was whispering stopped.

Li Shuwan's expression did not change and he continued.

"In view of the current rumors from the outside world, I would like to make a suggestion that Cen Xuan and Tong Lechuan should jointly complete this carving."

This proposal was new and had not been proposed during their previous internal meetings.

Everyone present was in an uproar.

"Why are you carving a national gift? You are buying cabbage from the vegetable market. You can buy it from whomever you want." Qin Gengli glared at her and said.

This is all a mess.

Li Shuwan had no intention of backing down.

"One of them is good at sculpting figures, and the other is good at depicting landscapes. When they work together, they will be able to present the most beautiful works. This is also a way of complementing each other's strengths."

Chairman Yu listened to her words and obviously agreed with the proposal.

"I think it's good. Since what happened last time, although this jade can't be said to be evil or not, there are some things we still have to avoid. The two of them can take care of each other if anything happens together."

Cen Xuan looked at Xiang Tong Lechuan.

The person opposite made a gesture to her, indicating that he didn't know about this the whole time.

He was also called over temporarily.

"Cen Xuan, what do you mean?" Qin Gengli suddenly kicked the ball in front of her.

It would be interesting if this person made trouble.

The expected fuss didn't happen.

The little girl in front of her nodded calmly.

"I have no objection. I will obey the Jade Association's arrangements."

Qin Gengli frowned, Cen Xuan was the one who made people kneel down and apologize when they first came to the Jade Association.

It's impossible to be so understanding.

"You have to think carefully, some things are better to be unique. People can remember one jade carver, but not two."

Qin Gengli's last words became more serious.

Basically, some famous jade carvers are not willing to work with others.

Flowers that bloom together are never as good as a single flower.

It's the same thing.

"I don't have any objections. You can decide. I just want to know when I can start carving."

Listening to Cen Xuan's words, President Yu also knew what she was thinking.

"There have been some bad rumors about this piece of jade. In order to avoid similar situations happening again, the carving will be done here this time and will not be moved again."

The Jade Association has dedicated an office here.

As long as the person who carved it is determined, it can be used at any time.

Cen Xuan nodded, "Okay, you decide."

After hearing this, Qin Gengli knew that it was basically impossible to count on this little girl.

But since she herself doesn't mind, if he keeps tossing it, Mr. Yu will probably dislike him.

"Lechuan, do you agree to take this task?" President Yu looked at him.

Tong Lechuan stood up and said, "What an honor."

When the two finally came out of the office together, Tong Lechuan stood beside Cen Xuan and spoke.

"I thought I had no hope, but I didn't expect that because Li Shuwan hates you, I would be involved."

Cen Xuan looked at his serious face and suddenly laughed.

Of course she knew that Tong Lechuan agreed because of her.

"You don't actually need to wrap yourself up."

Tong Lechuan spread his hands with an expression of indifference.

"Actually, I'm also quite curious as to whether that piece of jade is really ominous..."
