Chapter 65: The Family Feast Begins
"Crazy, it must be crazy!"
Li Gaoxuan and Meng Linghui looked at Zhang Chen like fools, and they didn't understand why he suddenly became such a brainless idiot.
In the previous two family banquets, Zhang Chen should have taken the initiative to stand up and have a good relationship with the Li family, but he couldn't wait to hide in the corner and eat silently and leave.
As a result, this time the family banquet was very important, but Zhang Chen did not shy away from it at all, and took the initiative to ask their family to sit in the first place.
In Li Gaoxuan's view, Zhang Chen did this completely to push their family into the abyss.
"Zhang Chen, don't mess around!"
Seeing the faces of his parents Tie Qing, Li Murong hurriedly dragged Zhang Chen aside and scolded in a low voice: "The people who sit in the first place today are all going to participate in the competition. You're not familiar with the company, so sitting there can only be a backdrop for them, and you're missing out on opportunities. ”
"Just stay here with your parents, and then find a way to deal with Liu Ning's gambling contract. I'll take care of the rest!"
After speaking, Li Murong forcibly pressed Zhang Chen to his seat, and then walked towards the first place.
Looking at Li Murong's back, Zhang Chen's heart flowed with a burst of warmth.
He understood that Li Murong seemed to dislike himself, but he was actually unwilling to let him bear the pressure from all sides.
"Mu Rong, don't worry, I won't let you fight all alone. ”
"In the future, let me hold up the girder for you!"
Looking at Zhang Chen beside her, Meng Linghui couldn't help but sneer: "Yo, didn't our good son-in-law say that he wanted to sit in the first place, why did he finally sit here?"
Zhang Chen touched his nose and said with a smile: "Auntie, Mu Rong thinks that this competition is better for her to come forward, so let me stay here with you." ”
"Hmph, it's just your excuse!"
Li Gaoxuan snorted coldly and said in a calm voice: "Zhang Chen, you really disappointed us too much! Just now I thought I was wrong to blame you, and I thought that you had been able to help Mu Rong carry the burden. As a result, it seems that you have not changed all along, and you are still that timid and scared waste!"
Facing the reprimand of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhang Chen knew that no matter how much he defended, it would be in vain, so he simply closed his mouth and quietly waited for the start of the family banquet.
As the clansmen and guests gradually arrived, an old man with gray hair walked into the hall with Li Delong's support. In an instant, the entire Li family stood up one after another and greeted each other in unison.
"Hello old man!"
Li Chenming nodded slightly, sat on the seat of the head of the family, and waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.
"Delong, who else hasn't arrived now?"
Li Delong thought about it in his heart, and then replied: "The clansmen have already arrived, and Liu Ning of the Liu Group and Tian Wenxuan, the assistant to the chairman of the Dongxing Group, have not arrived. ”
Hearing this, a look of displeasure appeared on Li Delong's face.
"This Liu Ning, since he is the young master of the Liu Group, has neglected our Li family three times and twice. If it weren't for the Liu Group's cooperation with us, this kind of person wouldn't be worthy of dealing with us at all!"
Li Chenming snorted coldly, and immediately admonished: "The most important person today is Tian Wenxuan, and we must not let him be dissatisfied with us at all! Whether our Li family can rise depends on your and Yanli's ability!"
"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely entertain Tian Wenxuan. ”
After a pause, Li Delong bent down and attached himself to Li Chenming's ear, and said in a low voice: "By the way, Dad, in this aspect of cooperation, I feel that I am more suitable to contact with the Dongxing Group, after all, the representative of the Li family has always been me, so it is up to me to come forward, which can better reflect the importance that the Li family attaches to them." ”
Li Chenming couldn't see through his careful thoughts, shook his head and said: "Tian Wenxuan chooses the partner for this cooperation, so you can only rely on your own abilities." ”
Hearing this, Li Delong could only smile awkwardly, and then went to greet the other guests.
"Grandpa, we're here!"
Two people of the same age as Zhang Chen walked in from outside the hall, holding beautifully packaged gift boxes in their hands, which they knew were worth a lot of money at a glance.
These two are the sons of Li Delong and Li Yanli. They are all business wizards in the Li family, so it is rumored that whoever can get the attention of the old man can inherit the family business of the Li family.
"Look at it, this is a young talent! I'm afraid the gifts in the hands of the two of them are hundreds of thousands!"
Meng Linghui shook her head again and again, then glanced at Zhang Chen beside her and sneered: "It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating." are also men, how can some people be the mainstay of the Li family, and some people are so wasteful?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen selectively ignored it directly, but Li Gaoxuan took a seat, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"What do you mean by this, do you mean that Sang scolded Huai and thought I was a waste?"
"You took the wrong medicine, right? I just think Zhang Chen is too useless, who is involved with you?"
"I think you just took the wrong medicine! If you have the ability, go and help Mu Rong snatch the right to cooperate now! If you want to say that it is the most useless, Zhang Chen ranks first, you have to rank second!"
"Li Gaoxuan, you actually compare Zhang Chen with me! What the hell do you mean!"
Li Gaoxuan and his wife actually quarreled in public. Fortunately, there are not many people in this corner building, and they are all distant relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles, just to rub food, so naturally they won't pay attention to the quarrel between the two.
"With such a pair of parents on the stall, even if Mu Rong has more energy, I'm afraid it won't be enough for them to toss. ”
Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly, and then looked in the direction outside the gate.
"Liu Shao, please come in, I'm waiting for you to come!"
"Yes, Liu Shao, we have been waiting for you so hard. If you don't show up, the old man won't dare to let the family banquet start. ”
With the support of Li Delong and Li Yanli, Liu Ning walked into the hall with a puff of heart, and then came to the main seat under the admiring and fearful gaze of everyone.
"Liu Shao, welcome. Li Chenming took the initiative to get up and say hello.
However, Liu Ning's eyes did not have the existence of Li Chenming at all, and all his attention was attracted to Li Murong.
"Mu Rong, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Li Murong glanced at him with disgust, and said lukewarmly: "If possible, I'd rather never see you for the rest of my life!"
"Mu Rong, how did you talk to Liu Shao, it's really not big or small!"
Li Delong glared, worried that Li Murong would anger the Li family's biggest customer.
"Don't worry, I like Mu Rong's stubborn temper. ”
Li Ning sat down with a smile, and then noticed Li Chenming, whose face was stiff.
"Old man, I haven't seen you for a year and your body is still so tough. Dad asked me to bring a message, he will definitely come to your 80th birthday banquet in two months. ”
"It's just that when the time comes, some old things between our two families should always sit down and discuss them. ”
Hearing this, Li Chenming's face instantly became ugly.
