Chapter 7 Don't Believe That Pies Fall From The Sky
After the ups and downs of the discussion came to an end, the atmosphere gradually eased up a lot, and the old man didn't mention it any more, apparently he had a final decision.
It's just that several Chen family members still have their own thoughts, and they can't calm down for a long time. Among them, the mood of Chen Xiaomei's three is the most turbulent.
It's not surprising that the longing and anticipation turned out to be nothing but the cannon fodder for Chen Mingyuan to shine in front of the old man. How could this sulking be justified!
At the same time, Chen Xiaomei was also wondering why this nephew became so smart and steady. He spoke so clearly that he shook the old man who is very principled. This ability is not a temporary use or pretending to be fooled. , Is it true that after reading books outside for several years, I have an epiphany?
This question also troubled everyone present.
They can't allow them to make more guesses. After a while, people came to visit the old man in the inner hall of Yijia. First, the chairman of the China Overseas Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the deputy mayor of the government, and then major business gentry and government officials also visited one after another. , the lineup can be described as star-studded, and anyone who is randomly pulled out can be regarded as an important dignitary in Zhong Hai.
At this moment, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help thinking of the rumors about the Zhonghai faction in later generations. This interest group that will affect the fate of the Republic in the next ten years must have gradually become popular at this time. Perhaps their organizational relationship is still relatively loose now, but due to Common and consistent interests will naturally form an intertwined network, echoing and closely connected with each other, followed by a skyrocketing increase in power and wealth, and finally presenting a tripartite confrontation with the traditional northern faction and the emerging group faction!
This kind of interest group has similarities with the oligarchs in the neighboring countries in the north, but it is very different. The most obvious point is that they hide deeper, so deep that ordinary people can't see through it!
Chen Mingyuan didn't think too much about it. After all, both China and the West will be ruled by elites for a long time. History has proved this point countless times!
"Do you want it?"
Cen Ruohan still looked worried and said: "Anyway, you have seen Grandpa, why don't I accompany you to see a doctor first."
All that needs to be said has been said, there is no point for Chen Mingyuan to stay, but he has never witnessed the old man's rejection of the Zhou family's proposal with his own eyes, so he is still worried...
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the entrance of the hall, and after a while, four people walked in together, accompanied by Chen Guoliang.
One of the elderly couples is Cen Ruohan's parents, both of whom are in their early fifties. The Cen family is not only family friends of the Chen family, but Cen Ruiwen has also worked hard with the old man for decades, and they are highly valued. Zhi Zhonghai's executive deputy mayor has a pragmatic style, and his wife Lin Yazhen is also elegant.
The one next to him was about the same age, with a big back, gold-rimmed glasses, and a calm yet majestic demeanor. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mingyuan recognized that this person was Zhou Qifeng, the local emperor of Zhonghai and the patriarch of the Zhou family!
This was the first time Chen Mingyuan had seen this powerful official in real life. Thinking of his previous life, he saw Zhou Qifeng's demeanor when he was the leader of the central government in front of the TV, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Thinking of this, Chen Mingyuan immediately focused his attention on the young man who followed Zhou Qifeng. Even after two lifetimes, he still remembered this face, Zhou Zhexiong, the son of the Zhou family!
In fact, Chen Mingyuan has no friendship with Zhou Zhexiong, except that he has heard about the long-sleeved and good dance of this noble son for a long time, that is, after he married Cen Ruohan, he had a deep impression on this man, and then witnessed Zhou Zhexiong with his own eyes. Promoted to the core of the Zhonghai department and became a famous dignitary in China!
In the original history, Chen Mingyuan and Zhou's father and son were inseparable, but now, in order to prevent the family and Cen Ruohan from repeating the tragedy, they are determined not to get around it!
"Dad, Mom..." Cen Ruohan called out crisply, and stepped forward to wrap his mother's arm lightly.
"Mayor Cen, is this your daughter Ruohan?"
Zhou Qifeng looked at the beautiful Cen Ruohan, showed a satisfied expression, and said with a smile: "I remember that many years ago, when she was a little girl, she was already beautiful and delicate. I didn't expect that she is even more beautiful now. It's gorgeous, hehe."
"It's too good." Cen Ruiwen said with a smile, "Ruohan, why don't you meet Uncle Zhou quickly."
Cen Ruohan greeted her generously, with an unnatural smile.
Zhou Qifeng was very satisfied with this "prospective daughter-in-law", but since he still had important matters to attend to, he pushed his son out after a few pleasantries, "Zhexiong, Ruohan may still feel a little uncomfortable after returning from abroad for a few days. Get used to it, spend more time with her."
Zhou Zhexiong hurriedly nodded in agreement, polite and personable, which made Cen's parents secretly satisfied.
The daughter is not young anymore, and marriage has always been a worry for the two elders. If they can get married with Zhou Zhexiong, they will be considered a match made in heaven.
"Uncle, uncle and grandma." Chen Mingyuan also came to greet him.
"It's Mingyuan, I haven't seen you for some years, and I've grown into a little adult."
Cen Ruiwen patted him on the shoulder and didn't say much. Hearing the reminder from Chen Guoliang next to him, he went to the inner hall with his wife and Zhou Qifeng to visit the old man.
"Long time no see, Ruohan." Zhou Zhexiong pointed to the corner and said with a smile, "Let's go there for a meeting first."
Cen Ruohan was not very happy, and prevaricated: "Unfortunately, Ming Yuan is not feeling well, and I am about to take him to the hospital..."
"Aunt Cen, it's rare for you two to meet each other, why don't you sit down and talk for a while, don't ruin a good thing because of me." Chen Mingyuan suddenly made this weird suggestion.
Cen Ruohan gave him a reproachful look, and thought to himself, why are you pushing me into the fire pit?
Zhou Zhexiong, on the other hand, was overjoyed, and his affection for Chen Mingyuan increased greatly. He said with a smile, "You are Aunt Yang's child, Mingyuan. I have admired you for a long time."
Chen Mingyuan shook hands with him, not taking his polite words seriously at all.
Cen Ruohan had no choice but to sit down with the two of them, chatting casually.
Zhou Zhexiong didn't pay much attention to the light bulb. He knew about the situation of the Chen family. Now Yang Xiuning, who is in power in front of the stage, has only one son. .
He has seen this kind of young man a lot, they are nothing more than high-minded and impulsive, but seeing Cen Ruohan's reticence, he had to find a topic to talk about on Chen Mingyuan in order to find a breakthrough.
He has no shortage of women, but he wants to start a family after all. Finding a lady from a well-matched family is undoubtedly the best choice. Therefore, for Cen Ruohan, he is determined to get it!
"Mingyuan, you should have graduated. Where are you going to get a job now?" Zhou Zhexiong had heard that Chen Mingyuan hadn't returned to work in the family, so he didn't know exactly how.
Chen Mingyuan smiled and said, "It's not about being high, so I found a job at a TV station in Dongjiang Province."
Zhou Zhexiong was slightly surprised: "Do you want to do a media career?"
"What kind of career is it? He's just fooling around to get angry with his family." Cen Ruohan snorted softly, still unhappy with his betrayal.
Zhou Zhexiong suddenly realized, and smiled lightly, showing disdain and contempt faintly!
"Mingyuan, it's not Brother Zhou who's talking about you. You have a bright future. There's no need to compete in these matters. Instead, you'll have to be called childish nonsense."
Zhou Zhexiong taught in the tone of a person who has experienced it: "If you want to rely on your own efforts to make a career, that's okay, but you have to choose the right path, and you can't just do whatever you like and delay your own career." A good youth is not worth the candle."
"Look, because of this, even your Aunt Cen is very upset, are you okay with it?"
Chen Mingyuan remained calm. From the looks of it, this guy wanted to teach himself a lesson by ridiculing him, so as to show Cen Ruohan his demeanor of a successful person.
Little did they know, this directly hit Cen Ruohan's Ni Lin, and his face immediately turned frosty.
To Chen Mingyuan, she was full of doting feelings, saying a few words about him was sincerely for his own good, but it didn't mean that she would tolerate outsiders' wanton slander against Chen Mingyuan!
Before she could express anything, Zhou Zhexiong took out another business card, handed it over and said, "I know a trading company that is short of manpower. If you are interested, I recommend you to go there. As long as you work hard on the ground, you will never I have treated you badly, what do you think?"
Chen Mingyuan took the business card and looked at it twice. He was sure that this was a company controlled by Zhou Zhexiong behind the scenes, and said, "It looks like the salary should be good, right?"
Zhou Zhexiong said very straightforwardly: "As long as you nod your head, you can talk about the treatment and other things. Why are you being polite with Brother Zhou?"
"I understand this intention."
Chen Mingyuan fiddled with his business card, and smiled leisurely, "It's just that I never believe that there will be pies in the sky, because these kinds of things are often full of gold and jade, and they look tempting and delicious, but if you really eat them , I didn’t poison myself to death, maybe I was choked to death... Oh, of course, it’s not about your invitation, Brother Zhou.”
In an instant, Zhou Zhexiong's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes even showed a cold light, but it was really difficult for him to show up under the watchful eyes of everyone.
At the critical moment, it was Cen Ruohan who came out to make love, and said with an apologetic smile, "Zhexiong, he's still young, and he doesn't know how to speak properly. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Having said that, Cen Ruohan was almost amused by this absurd metaphor, and the unhappiness just disappeared: This boy, at least I didn't love him for nothing!
"It's okay, there is some truth in what he said, young people should be down-to-earth..."
Zhou Zhexiong forced a dry smile, and firmly hated Chen Mingyuan in his heart.
Just as he was trying to turn around, the door of the inner hall opened. Accompanied by Chen Guoliang, Zhou Qifeng came out in a hurry, his face clouded, without even looking at Cen Ruohan, he said quickly: "Zhexiong, let's go first." .”
Zhou Zhexiong was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out why his father, who was still smiling just now, suddenly became overcast. Seeing that Zhou Qifeng had gone far away, he had to say goodbye quickly, and followed him step by step.
Chen Xiao's tense nerves finally relaxed. It seems that the rift between the Chen family and the Zhou family has inevitably occurred.
Cen Ruohan was sensitive to the fact that the conversation in the inner hall didn't seem to be very harmonious, and before he had time to think about it, his shoulders suddenly sank, and slightly thick heat sprayed on the goose neck. Turning his head to look, he saw Chen Mingyuan leaning on him, breath Ruoyousi said: "Aunt Cen, help me..."
Cen Ruohan's panicked call came from beside his ear, but he felt an unprecedented sense of relief...
It's just that several Chen family members still have their own thoughts, and they can't calm down for a long time. Among them, the mood of Chen Xiaomei's three is the most turbulent.
It's not surprising that the longing and anticipation turned out to be nothing but the cannon fodder for Chen Mingyuan to shine in front of the old man. How could this sulking be justified!
