super rich

As the leading municipality directly under the central government in China, in the late 90s, although there was still a gap between Zhonghai City and the prosperity and prosperity in the future, it seemed to have the outline of an international metropolis.

Shutting through the traffic, Chen Mingyuan looked at the tall buildings and buildings through the car window, and suddenly felt a sense of a world away.

He felt a little alienated from this grotesque metropolis.

After going to the neighboring province of Dongjiang to attend university, he rarely came back.

At that time, his mother took the liberty of arbitrarily advocating that he fill in the major of economics as his wish, which always made him worry about it. The arrogance of young people made him seldom go back after that. After graduation, he rejected the arrangement of his family and entered Dongjiang Provincial Cable TV Co., Ltd. TV station as an ordinary employee.

This was almost a disobedient act that challenged the authority of the family, and made the elders, including Yang Xiuning, so angry that Chen Mingyuan had just returned home from leave yesterday, and had another argument with his mother because of the disagreement about his future.

Yang Xiuning, Chen Guoliang and the others naturally couldn't give in. Since Chen Mingyuan was determined to go his own way, there was no need to put all hope on him.

Thoughts were flying, Chen Mingyuan sighed, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

Cen Ruohan was driving the car, with a pair of wonderful eyes occasionally looking to the side.

"Are you struggling with how to face your mother?"

Cen Ruohan explained: "Oh, you really are, why do you insist on contradicting your mother, isn't she always thinking of you, listen to what Auntie said, and I will apologize to your mother later, just open the words... ..."

She originally wanted to persuade Chen Mingyuan to quit his job at the TV station and go back to work in the family business or continue his graduate studies, but she decided to persuade Chen Mingyuan slowly so as not to arouse his resistance again.

Working in a TV station sounds good, but Cen Ruohan knows that Chen Mingyuan is just a small role in it.

Dongjiang University is a well-known university in China. Chen Mingyuan, a top student in the economics department of a prestigious school, has a rich family background, but went to a small TV station to do errands and do odd jobs. It is no wonder that Yang Xiuning and other elders Out of breath!

Willful and willful, you can't get angry with your own future!

Chen Mingyuan listened to her nagging, but did not refute. When there was a gap, he asked, "Aunt Cen, have your parents passed away?"

Cen Ruohan's father, Cen Ruiwen, is a member of the Standing Committee of the Zhonghai Municipal Committee and the executive deputy mayor. He is in charge of state-owned enterprises and economic work, and a senior official at the deputy ministerial level with real power.

"Not yet, my dad has an impromptu meeting, it may be later."

"Then did they tell you anything?"

"What do you mean?"

Cen Ruohan pursed his lips, pondered, "It seems to be gone..."

"Nothing really?" Chen Mingyuan's smile narrowed slightly, "For example, to prepare you to meet someone?"

Cen Ruohan was slightly astonished, and said angrily, "Don't play tricks, just speak up!"

Seeing her nervous expression, Chen Mingyuan confirmed the guess in his heart, pretending to be hesitant to speak but saying: "I just heard that your parents are planning a marriage for you recently..."

Cen Ruohan frowned instantly, then smiled wryly, and said, "You're quite well informed about the gossip."

"It's normal. After all, I'm old. I used to study and work in the United States, and I was able to hold off for a while, but now I can't escape the gold medal."

"Then the person they introduced to you, do you like it?"

"..."

Cen Ruohan was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Don't talk about it, it's annoying to think about it, anyway, it's not an urgent need."

Chen Mingyuan sighed secretly, knowing that she was planning to procrastinate as long as she could, but she didn't know that her life-long event would most likely be finalized in a few hours, and by that time, there would be no chance to regret it!

Reminiscent of Cen Ruohan's disastrous marriage in his previous life, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but said: "Auntie, if you really don't like it, you can tell your parents clearly, there is no need to wrong yourself."

Cen Ruohan looked at him seriously, and seeing the sincerity on his face, her eyes gradually changed from astonishment and hesitation to tenderness, and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what's in my heart, and I won't take marriage as a joke."

"Anyway, Auntie assures you that the person you are looking for in the future must be able to pass your test. Is it okay?"

"Then you're probably going to be a big girl."

Chen Mingyuan laughed and said, "You know, in the whole world, there are very few men at my level."

Cen Ruohan chewed out the meaning of his words, and said with a pretty face, "Stinky boy, it's getting more and more outrageous, look at me..."

She originally wanted to take care of her family, but she was concerned about the safety of driving, so she had to give up temporarily, blushing her cheeks and said: "It's all broken to the bone, no medicine can save you!"

In the past, she regarded Chen Mingyuan as a younger brother and junior, but today, she keenly noticed that this introverted big boy seemed to have undergone some changes that she was not aware of, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

Suppressing the embarrassment and doubts in his heart, Cen Ruohan suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "Just kidding with me now, you can be more serious later, besides your elders and my parents, there are other important figures present .”

Chen Mingyuan squinted his eyes, "For example, the guy who is on a blind date with you?"

Cen Ruohan acquiesced, and added: "It's mainly his father, who has a lot of background."

"Older than your dad?"

"Not too big."

Cen Ruohan's expression was complicated: "You should have heard of that man's father. His name is Zhou Qifeng, the earth emperor of our Zhonghai!"

The Zhou family is the head of the land in Zhonghai City, and Zhou Qifeng, the core of the family, has been dubbed the title of Emperor of the Earth. His influence in Zhonghai City cannot be underestimated.

As the proud city of the Republic, Zhonghai City has always been a battleground for military strategists, and the Zhonghai Zhou faction is an important part of a powerful faction in the central government.

Therefore, Zhou Qifeng is currently the hottest figure in the elite circle of Zhong Hai. Due to the great prestige of the old man in Zhong Hai, the relationship between the Zhou family and the Chen family has always been good.

But when he heard the name, Chen Mingyuan's face darkened suddenly.

…………

Under the setting sun in the evening, the car parked in the parking space of Rongting Hotel, and Cen Ruohan and Chen Mingyuan walked to the lobby side by side.

Rongting Hotel is a well-known five-star hotel in Zhonghai City, and it is also one of the important pillars of the Chen Rongting Group. Although the decoration grade is not exquisite in Chen Mingyuan's perception, it can be considered unique in this era up.

The hotel was just completed the year before last, and Chen Mingyuan seldom came back in the past few years, so when he came to his hotel for the first time, he naturally didn't attract the attention of the staff, but it didn't mean that no one knew him.

"Hey, isn't this Mingyuan, but I haven't seen you for a while, so I thought you wouldn't be here today."

Hearing this yin and yang greeting, Chen Mingyuan saw a young man in a white shirt and suit trousers walking towards him with a playful smile on his lips. It was Zhang Zili, the son of his great aunt Chen Xiaomei.

To be honest, Chen Mingyuan doesn't like this cousin, he is arrogant, mean and snobbish, a full-on dude!

Of course, no matter how many shortcomings Zhang Zili has, it is not his turn to blame him, but the problem is that Zhang Zili has always liked to compete with himself since he was a child.

Mr. Chen's style is traditional, based on the principle of passing on males and not females, he is determined to pass on the family business to his descendants. Even if Chen Xiaomei holds a certain share in the company, he only holds some marginal interests.

At first, Chen Xiaomei's family didn't have much ambition, and they didn't dare to make trouble in front of the old man, but as the Rongting Group continued to grow, especially after the old man's health deteriorated and he went to Yanjing to recuperate, the family gradually became uneasy. Be content with these petty profits!

Therefore, open and secret struggles within the family are inevitable. Fortunately, Yang Xiuning has already established prestige in the Rongting Group, and with the support of the old man, Chen Xiaomei's family will not be too arrogant, but it does not mean that they will die down. After all, even if Yang Xiuning's orphans and widows cannot be replaced, at least they have the opportunity to share more core interests.

In view of this, the pair of cousins ​​are always in a state of confrontation!

Chen Mingyuan had no intention of fighting, but Zhang Zili regarded him as a stumbling block. He always found fault when there was nothing to do, and Chen Mingyuan's repeated evasion and retreat aggravated the opponent's arrogance. As long as he caught the opportunity, he would never miss the opportunity to ridicule him!

"Long time no see, cousin."

Chen Mingyuan greeted him with a smile, Cen Ruohan frowned, and quietly pulled off his skirt, implying that he should not fight for a moment.

Zhang Zili raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting, and showed an interested smile: "Tsk tsk, I heard that right, you actually called me cousin... It's been a long time since I heard it, it's really strange , Tsk, it's really strange!"

Chen Mingyuan didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, and said indifferently: "The elders and the younger are orderly, I should call you cousin, you will be offended by what you said."

Zhang Zili found that he was not as irritable as usual, and his conversation was calm, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, wondering when did this nerd become so smooth and sophisticated!

Subconsciously, Zhang Zili thought that he was just putting on airs, and said with a smirk: "Not to mention, after studying outside for a few years, it looks a little different, and I am beginning to understand the ways of the world. My aunt knows She should be much more relieved now, but you don't know, she has often been frowning this year."

Cen Ruohan's pretty face was covered with frost. She was already leaning toward Chen Mingyuan. Seeing that Zhang Zili was making things difficult again and again, even though she didn't want to be stiff, she couldn't see Chen Mingyuan's mother and son being humiliated anymore, so she said in a cold voice: "Zili, Uncle Chen and the others are back today." , it’s rare for a family to get together, so it’s time to say something festive, right?”

Zhang Zili rolled his eyes, but he didn't dare to refute. He was obviously quite afraid of Cen Ruohan, but he was able to touch Chen Mingyuan's bad luck, which was enough for him to accept it.

"People have to grow up, and they can't always be willful and reckless." Chen Mingyuan was indifferent to his sarcasm, and said with a leisurely smile: "Didn't grandpa always teach us to understand etiquette, justice, and shame, so that we can have a harmonious family and everything, cousin, You say that's the reason?"

Cen Ruohan's eyebrows relaxed immediately, and he almost couldn't help laughing. He was worried that Chen Mingyuan would continue to suffer from his words, but he didn't expect that he would not only stay calm, but also counterattack cleverly and sharply!

This sentence clearly implies that Zhang Zili must understand etiquette, justice, integrity and shame, and don't make troubles for his own selfishness, making the family never have peace!

It's only been three days before Shibai treats each other with admiration, this introverted but impulsive boy is a completely different person!

At this moment, Cen Ruohan was puzzled.

After Zhang Zili woke up, he almost burst into anger: This is clearly scolding himself for being uneducated!

He has always been proud and arrogant. He has never been humiliated like this in his life, let alone being run over by his wimpy cousin who has always looked down upon him!

Smelling gunpowder smoke, Cen Ruohan was about to come out to smooth things over, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people walking towards him, and hurriedly patted Chen Mingyuan on the back, and said with a smile on his face, "Cousin, you are here."

Chen Mingyuan's breath was suffocated, and he turned his head to look with a little difficulty, and saw a woman slowly approaching him. Although she could not be said to be peerless, she had a noble and calm demeanor. Could this be his mother, Yang Xiuning?
