super rich

New Year's Day came in a blink of an eye, and even though he was not in Dongjiang, Chen Mingyuan still received a lot of greeting calls, especially as Ning Lizhong's power was consolidated again, there were many people who took the opportunity to show his favor to him.

In the evening, after accompanying Ning Lizhong to visit a ministry leader, Chen Mingyuan received a strange call, but the voice from inside was somewhat familiar.

A hearty laugh came from the phone: "I forgot me so quickly, it was me, Hou Zhiqing!"

When Chen Mingyuan came to his senses, he smiled and exchanged a few greetings.

Hou Zhiqing said with a smile: "I heard from Qiqi that his father is going back to Qiantang tomorrow. I thought you would be here tonight, so Xiuquan and I discussed holding a farewell banquet for you. If you don't have any plans tonight , everyone just get together, we didn’t entertain well last time, and we didn’t have a good drink.”

Chen Mingyuan hesitated a little. He knew that it must be the close relationship between himself and the Mu family that attracted the attention of these high-ranking children, so he tried every means to make friends with him.

To be honest, he doesn't want to get too close to these young masters, as long as he maintains a certain amount of good intentions on weekdays, it's almost enough. If he gets too involved in these young masters' circles, it will inevitably cause some troubles.

Hou Zhiqing seemed to understand his thoughts, and added: "Don't worry, it's just me and Wang Xiuquan this time, if other people come together, it will be messy again, and I don't feel comfortable."

Chen Mingyuan thought for a while, and there was really nothing planned for the evening. Ning Lizhong had finished his trip, and he was going to stay at home with his wife and daughter tonight. Seeing Hou Zhiqing's grand invitation, he still had to give this little noodle, so he agreed.

"Are you living in the Beijing Office of Dongjiang Province? I'll send someone to pick you up!"

Hou Zhiqing's laughter became louder and louder.

Chen Mingyuan said: "Don't be so troublesome, I have a car here, you can just tell me the location."

Hou Zhiqing was not polite, so he explained the location of the meeting, which was at the famous Yanjing Hotel.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingyuan saw that it was getting late, so he said hello to Ning Lizhong, and then took the special car of the Beijing Office and headed straight to the hotel.

Arriving at the entrance of the magnificent building, a guard immediately stepped forward to salute, opened the door, and the head waiter of the hotel stood at the door, saluting: "Hello, dear guest, do you have an appointment?"

Chen Mingyuan got out of the car and said, "My surname is Chen, and I have an appointment with Mr. Hou Zhiqing!"

The foreman's attitude was a little more respectful, and he raised his hand and said: "Mr. Chen, hello, the room that Mr. Hou booked is here, please follow me."

Chen Mingyuan glanced at the driver, and said with a smile: "It's just lunch time, so you can come together." This trip was not about work, there is nothing to avoid, and the driver will pick him up during the festival, and it is freezing cold. It would be a bit unreasonable to ask people to wait outside.

At first, the driver waved his hand in fear and refused, but seeing Chen Mingyuan's firm attitude and his appetite for Yanjing Restaurant's delicacies, he agreed, and he was very grateful to the senior secretary for his approachability.

The three of them walked into the hotel, and Chen Mingyuan was about to pass through the hall. He caught a glimpse from the corner of the eye and stopped abruptly. He saw a beautiful woman sitting there alone in the sofa area not far away. It was Chen Guoliang. Wife Ni Guangzhi!

After thinking for a while, he asked the foreman to wait first, walked to Ni Guangzhi's side, and said with a smile, "Auntie, what a coincidence, you also come here for dinner."

Ni Guangzhi looked up, was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Mingyuan? Why are you in Yanjing?"

"Accompany the leader to do some errands, and have dinner with friends here at night." Chen Mingyuan replied casually, "Auntie is alone?"

Ni Guangzhi knew that he was here with Dongjiang's Provincial Party Secretary, so he didn't ask any further questions, and replied, "I also made an appointment with a friend to talk about things here."

She laughed again and said, "You're a real kid. You've been to Yanjing so many times, but you don't know how to come to your aunt's house. If you let outsiders know about it, you might think there is some conflict in our family."

"How come, it's really a tight schedule, and I'm worried that you have business to do, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Chen Mingyuan said a few perfunctory words. In the past two years, he has accompanied Ning Lizhong to Yanjing several times, but each time the schedule was in a hurry, and his special status made it inconvenient to visit.

And to be honest, the relationship between him and this aunt is very ordinary, which can be called cold.

When Chen Guoliang worked with the old man in Yanjing, he met Ni Guangzhi, who was still a college student, and the two quickly concluded a marriage. However, even though she married into the Chen family, she has always acted like a native of the imperial city and refused to return. Zhong Hai is filial to his parents-in-law, so he sees them occasionally during the New Years and holidays. He doesn't speak much, and he doesn't care about family affairs. He doesn't think much of Chen Mingyuan's orphans and widows. He occasionally blows pillows with Chen Guoliang to provoke each other Relationship.

In the beginning, when she was criticized by her family, Ni Guangzhi had been watching with cold eyes. No need to guess, she must have been gloating in her heart. After all, if she and her mother really lost power in the family, then the biggest beneficiary would be her. family, and the heir of the old Chen family, it is logical that his cousin Chen Mingke is now.

When he regained the favor of his family through little changes, Ni Guangzhi's attitude gradually changed. At least on the surface, he treated himself and his mother a lot more politely. For the sake of family harmony, Chen Mingyuan didn't have the same knowledge as her. They never thought of getting closer to each other, especially since Chen Guoliang had left Yanjing, so he had no reason to see her.

But at this moment, the superficial politeness still has to be sufficient.

…………

At the same time, members of the Qiu family were eating together.

Compared to the Mu family, the Qiu family can be regarded as a withered population. Mr. Qiu has no brothers and sisters, but only one son. He is now the boss of a certain military enterprise. Now that Qiu Kexin is here, the Qiu family has been passed down for three generations.

Qiu Kexin, the only seedling, is the treasure of three generations of the Qiu family, who is loved by thousands of people.

However, recently, Mr. Qiu did not like this grandson very much. Qiu Kexin was 27 years old, but he was not at all determined. Looking forward, I want Qiu Kexin to get married quickly.

At the dinner table, Mr. Qiu urged the marriage again, "Kexin, once the new year is over, you will be one year older. It's time to put this matter on the agenda."

Qiu Kexin has a headache, he still wants to continue to be happy and happy for a few years, but unfortunately the few businesses he has in hand still need to rely on his family's power in the military. He mentioned it before, but he was directly refuted by the old man, who bluntly said that he should get married first and talk later. thing.

The dissatisfaction turned into dissatisfaction, and he said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I have a sense of proportion in this matter."

Old Man Qiu's eyes widened and he said: "It's good if you have a sense of proportion, why bother me so much at an age, and also, stay away from that girl of Ning Lizhong in the future!"

Qiu Kexin muttered: "I just want to talk to her, but she probably won't like it. Her father has already stepped into the political bureau, so we don't need to look at our family's face!"

Originally, the Qiu family wanted to win over Ning Lizhong through their marriage with Ning Qiqi while Ning Lizhong was facing enemies, but unexpectedly, Ning Lizhong not only survived the disaster, but was also attacked by several major factions. Admittedly, entering the political bureau next year is almost certain. Under such circumstances, why should Ning Lizhong take an olive branch from the Qiu family.

Although the voice of complaint was low, everyone still heard it clearly.

Old Man Qiu jumped into a rage and shouted, "You rebellious bastard!"

Qiu Kexin's face turned pale immediately, knowing that he had caused trouble, and the old man has been embarrassing because of this incident recently, who dares to mention this matter, isn't this exposing the fault of old man Chang!

"Grandpa, I just made a slip of the tongue..."

Qiu Kexin panicked and didn't know how to explain.

Old Man Qiu's face was cloudy and uncertain, and the room was eerily quiet, no one dared to speak.

"Useless things, just do some stupid things. You haven't learned enough lessons a while ago. If you hadn't been messing around with those dirty things behind your back, you would have been caught by that girl from the Mu family! Our family has almost become a The laughing stock of the entire Forty-Nine City!"

Mr. Qiu reprimanded: "Even now, that liar officer is still in detention, don't you understand what it means? The Mu family almost put a knife on our necks, forcing our family to back down , because of you, how much we have suffered!"

Qiu Kexin was so scolded that his face was red, and he stayed up until the old man was tired of the reprimand and returned to the bedroom to rest, then drove to the city in a resentful way.

Arriving at Yanjing Hotel, Qiu Kexin happened to see Chen Mingyuan sitting on the sofa in the lobby.

He was not in a good mood at this time, and when he saw Chen Mingyuan, all the old and new hatreds rushed into his heart.

Last time in Xiaohe Mansion, this kid really made himself lose face, and the scandal has spread throughout the entire Forty-Nine City. Anyone who saw him would make fun of it, which made him very embarrassed.

Turning his eyes, Qiu Kexin turned back and got into the car, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Sitting in the hall, Chen Mingyuan chatted with Ni Guangzhi for a long time. Seeing that she was absent-minded and checking the time on her watch from time to time, she knew that she had business to do, so she got up and prepared to leave.

Ni Guangzhi smiled relievedly: "If you have something to do, do it first. When you are free tomorrow, remember to go to Auntie's."

"must."

Chen Mingyuan was going to sit in the private room when Ni Guangzhi suddenly saw someone coming at the door, and hurriedly explained to Chen Mingyuan, then walked over to meet him.

Chen Mingyuan took advantage of the opportunity to look over, and saw a gorgeous woman walking in. After a closer look, he remembered that she seemed to be a well-known female star named Fu Yuxia.

"Miss Fu, you are finally here."

Compared with the perfunctory attitude just now, Ni Guangzhi is quite enthusiastic about this lady.

Fu Yuxia took off her sunglasses, and said in a nonchalant way: "The road is so jammed that I've been sitting in the car for more than half an hour."

Ni Guangzhi smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, please trouble Miss Fu to make a special trip here, let's go and sit inside for a while."

Chen Mingyuan was slightly surprised. Ni Guangzhi was a famous lady after all, and her natal family's background in Yanjing was relatively well-off. At this moment, she was so amiable to a starlet.

But Fu Yuxia looked like she didn't answer, she waved her hand and said: "Mrs. Ni, today is the holiday, I have already made an appointment with my boyfriend to meet here, time is tight, I think we should talk about the matter here Tell me, it’s convenient for you, and it’s easy for me to save trouble!”

Ni Guangzhi's expression turned pale.
