Chen Xiaolong didn't care about Yang Ming's words, he just snorted coldly and turned his face away. He felt that Yang Ming was a little unreasonable, even a little arrogant!
Indeed, if I had been in the freshman year of high school four years ago, I would have been very afraid of Yang Ming. School life and now are completely different things. In school, whoever has the hardest fist is the most powerful. In society, Who is tougher than a fist? He casually handed out some banknotes, and there were plenty of people who would help him.
The elevator stopped at the sixth floor with a "ding" sound. Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan followed the crowd and walked out of the elevator. Chen Mengyan held Yang Ming's hand tightly. It could be seen that Chen Mengyan was very nervous, and Yang Ming smiled comfortingly. : "It's nothing, I won't act rashly, at least I won't make things difficult for Uncle Chen."
Yang Ming knew that what Chen Mengyan was worried about was not what unexpected things Chen Xiaolong would do, but what Yang Ming would do impulsively when he was angry. At that time, Fade Chen will also be there, so it will not end well.
Chen Mengyan was relieved when she saw that Yang Ming understood her meaning.
The entire sixth floor is a banquet hall. At this time, many people have arrived. They are sitting on the seats in the banquet hall, chatting in small groups. When the elevator door opens, everyone looks at the elevator entrance in unison. When Chen Zhifu came out, they stopped talking and stood up one after another.
These people are all people who have come out of the Chen family village or are still in the village. There are people from all walks of life, but their achievements are not as high as Chen Zhifu, let alone Chen Zhiye.
Inside, some people recognized that the man next to Chen Zhifu was Chen Zhiye, and they all showed envious eyes.
Chen Zhifu stepped out of the elevator, made a greeting gesture to everyone present, and then introduced: "This is my younger brother Chen Zhiye, the chairman of Nanfang Zhengyuan Import and Export Trading Company!"
Among the people present, most of them came here to flatter Chen Zhifu and Chen Zhiye's brothers, thinking of finding some benefits from the two of them, so these people immediately clapped their hands and applauded after hearing Chen Zhifu's introduction.
Chen Zhifu was very satisfied with the current scene and atmosphere, smiled and nodded with everyone, and continued to introduce: "This is my nephew, Chen Xiaolong!"
The applause rang out again, accompanied by praises from some people, praising Chen Xiaolong for being a good-looking talent, young and promising, etc. In short, he said everything, which made Chen Xiaolong's self-esteem unprecedentedly satisfied.
Chen Xiaolong glanced at Chen Mengyan proudly. He wanted Chen Mengyan to see how glorious he was now. As long as he followed him, half of this glory would belong to her.
However, Chen Mengyan remained indifferent, as if she hadn't heard the praise from the person in front of her at all, her face was expressionless. Chen Xiaolong felt a little depressed, so the demonstrators took another look at Yang Ming, which meant to show the gap between himself and him.
However, what was even more regrettable was that instead of showing any shame or envy, the expression on Yang Ming's face was ridiculed, which added another level to the resentment in Chen Xiaolong's heart. This Yang Ming is too ignorant of good and bad. He has clearly demonstrated a hundred times stronger ability than him, but he is still indifferent. Does this person really not know good or bad, or is he arrogant to a certain extent?
Chen Xiaolong snorted helplessly, and turned around. At this time, Chen Zhifu said: "Next, we invite Chen Qiye, the old patriarch of our Chen Family Village!"
As soon as Chen Zhifu's words fell, the praise of Chen Xiaolong and Chen Zhiye and his son in the restaurant immediately subsided again. It can be seen that Chen Qiye's status in the hearts of everyone in Chenjiacun.
A side door of the restaurant slowly opened, and a man in his 60s walked out slowly with the help of an old man in his 80s. This man in his 60s was Chen Dahe, Chen Zhifu's father. , is also the current village head of Chenjia Village. And the 80-year-old old man beside him is the old patriarch Chen Qiye that Chen Zhifu said!
"Master Qi!"
"Uncle Seven"
"Seven Lords"
...
People in Chenjia Village spoke up one after another, calling people respectfully and calling them anything, but these three kinds of names are the most, and the others are nothing more than close relatives, called uncle, grandpa and so on.
"Qiye!" Chen Zhifu and Chen Fei immediately stepped forward, and even Chen Zhiye cautiously went over to say hello, one can imagine how high Qiye's status is.
Seventh Master nodded slightly amidst everyone's greetings. It can be seen that the old man's spirit is very hale and hearty. Although he is over eighty years old, he is still very healthy.
The old man saw Chen Zhiye and nodded to him: "Zhiye is back! Well, come back home in good clothes, don't embarrass our Chenjia Village!"
"This is all taught by Master Qi when he was a child!" Chen Zhiye said quickly and respectfully. Although he is a billionaire, Chen Qiye is the supreme existence in the hearts of all Chenjia Villagers. He is a big surname in the old society The patriarch of the family is like a god, and his words cannot be disobeyed!
No matter how high an official you are in the imperial court, or if you are a wealthy party, when you return to your hometown, you must treat the elders and patriarchs of the family with the courtesy of the younger generation, otherwise, it will be considered unfilial and unfilial. Understand ethics.
Although it is a new era now, this tradition has been preserved in many big families, and Chenjia Village is no exception. Although Chen Zhiye is calling the shots outside, he is still respectful when he sees Chen Qiye when he comes back.
"En." Chen Qiye nodded, and his eyes fell on Chen Fei again. Chen Jiacun only had these outstanding people, and Chen Qiye naturally remembered them in his heart. He was also proud of them when chatting with others. Talking material: "Xiao Feizi, you're here too, not bad! I heard that you have become the chief of the bureau, and you are now the biggest official in our Chenjia Village! You and Zhiye, a government official, and a businessman are members of the younger generation of our Chenjia Village. The leading figure in the world!"
"Seventh Master, I'm sorry." Fade Chen quickly said modestly: "We are not considered the younger generation, and the children are already twenty!"
"That's true!" Chen Qiye stroked his beard, then turned to look at Chen Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, do you still recognize the Seventh Lord?"
"Seventh Lord!" Chen Xiaolong said humbly and respectfully: "How can Xiaolong not recognize you? When I was young, you still carried me to the river to play! At that time, I was not sensible enough to pull your beard!"
Chen Xiaolong already knew from his father before that the success or failure of the matter between himself and Chen Mengyan depends on Qi Ye's attitude. If Qi Ye does his best to facilitate this matter, then with Qi Ye's status in the Chen family village, he can promise everything. Even if Fade Chen didn't want to, he still had to think about it. Therefore, Chen Xiaolong decided to flatter Chen Qiye fiercely.
"Hehehehe..." When Chen Qiye heard Chen Xiaolong talk about his childhood, Chen Qiye couldn't help being overjoyed, and thought of all the past, lovingly stroking Chen Xiaolong's head: "Well, in a blink of an eye, that The little brats who follow behind the Seventh Lord will marry their wives!"
"Seventh Lord..." Chen Xiaolong said deliberately pretending to be tender.
"By the way, I heard that you've taken a fancy to the daughter of Xiao Feizi's family?" Chen Qiye suddenly asked kindly.
"Seventh Lord, I..." Chen Xiaolong pretended to blush, but finally nodded.
"Hahahaha, okay, this matter, the Seventh Lord is up to you!" Chen Qiye narrowed his eyes, and said confidently: "If you want to talk about matchmaking, 80% of the young people in this Chen family village are Chen Qiye, I did it! Even Xiao Feizi and Xiaoyu's marriage was arranged by me back then, right, Xiao Feizi?"
When Chen Fei heard Chen Qiye talking about Chen Xiaolong and Chen Mengyan, his face froze. He was about to say something, but he didn't expect Chen Qiye to suddenly mention his marriage with Chen Fangyu. He nodded quickly and said with a wry smile: "Yes. , Thank you Qi Ye for being a matchmaker for me!"
"En." Chen Qiye nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Chen Mengyan who was beside Fade Chen: "This is Xiao Mengyan, right? Yes, she looks so beautiful, and I saw your mother back then, no wonder we Xiaolong would look at it." Up to you!"
This Chen Qiye is Chen Dahe's close seventh uncle, and also Chen Xiaolong's close seventh grandpa, so he is particularly concerned about Chen Xiaolong's affairs. Once he heard that Chen Xiaolong likes Chen Mengyan, he decided to decide their marriage!
You know, there is a rule in Chenjia Village, that is, young men and women in the village try their best to find a partner in their own village, and don't go to other villages, so I heard that Chen Xiaolong is looking for Chen Mengyan, Chen Fei's daughter, and Chen Qiye did not even think about it. Take it all down with a big mouthful! On the contrary, Chen Zhiye and Chen Zhifu were very happy. With the appearance of Master Qi, I'm not afraid that Chen Fei would say more.
