Chen Gongzhe could hear the conversation between his parents in the living room in the bedroom, which also made him even more irritable, because he knew better than anyone else the predicament he was facing.

To say that there was a founding major general on the ancestor of the Chen family in Zhuji, and now the head of the household is an active colonel in the army, and his family background is not bad, and he can barely be called an elite class in the whole country. But the discerning people know that the Chen family is still a little bit away from the real "family", and it is a bit weak, blinking to raise a blind son - one generation is not as good as the taste of the next!

The so-called "family family" (also known as "gate valve"), which was rampant in the six or seven hundred years from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty, had far-reaching influence in the political, economic, military and other fields, but in today's era it is purely a false proposition, because the government of the Republic of China implements a parliamentary democracy, and the law stipulates that anyone can be elected by the National Assembly and become a great treasure and rule the world. And the term "family" has never appeared in the official mainstream media. However, the Chinese public, as well as scholars of Sinology in Europe, the United States, and Japan, all use the term "family family" when discussing the current state of Chinese society.

Since there is zài, there must be its rationality.

It has been two or three generations and forty or fifty years since Sun Baixi, the father of the country, founded the Republic of China, which is enough for the mud-legged people to wash their hands and feet and learn how to dress and eat; and it is also good enough for the family to stand out and have a full voice in the military, politics, business, and academic circles. Of course, there are also big and small families, such as the Huai'an Sun family and the Beijing Zhao family, if they cough slightly, the whole country will catch a cold for 10 days and half a month; the small families are scattered all over the place, claiming hegemony at the prefectural and county levels, and dividing and monopolizing the seats in the local councils. But generally speaking, it is a customary rule that there must be at least one ministerial-level senior official or general-level officer in each generation of the family, and it must continue for more than two generations.

The embarrassment of the Chen family in Zhuji and the source of Chen Gongzhe's irritability are also here.

Grandfather Chen Shiji has a real rank of major general, but his father Chen Cexun has been trapped in the rank of colonel for more than ten years, and he has not yet reached the age of retirement, and there is no hope of promotion. If Chen Cexun stops here, then the Zhuji Chen family will inevitably be removed from the sequence of "family families", and gradually.

Although from an objective point of view, it is inevitable that the family will rise and fall, even if the Langya Wang family, the Chen Jun Xie family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Xingyang Zheng family and other top wealthy families for hundreds of years will not escape the laws of history, not to mention the Zhuji Chen family, which has only been rising for less than a few decades? However, as the third generation of the Zhuji Chen family, Chen Gongzhe can hardly bear such a huge psychological gap, especially after he knows the huge power gap between the family and the ordinary family, and the arduous process of the ordinary family growing into the family, his heart is even more resentful.

If it weren't for the fact that the disease took the life of his grandfather Chen Shiji so early, with his old man's qualifications, ability, and connections, one person would be enough to support the prosperity of the Chen family in Zhuji. With his old man to take care of him, his father will not be trapped in the rank of colonel for so long, maybe now there are two gold stars on his shoulders, what a major general!

If his father had been more sensible back then, carefully weighed between beauty and prospects, between his wife and his family, and agreed to the request of a high-ranking general in the army to marry, why would there be no one in the court now, and he would have whispered and flattered himself in search of appreciation and promotion of his superiors?

He even hated his own mother! He felt that if she hadn't appeared at that inopportune time, maybe his father wouldn't have made such an impulsive choice-—— but he didn't think that if he hadn't been married to his parents, how would he have come to this world?

It's a pity that there is no if in life, and now he can only watch the family fall but can't do anything about it.

Yes, there is nothing he can do.

In today's era of peace, it is not a time when the world was in turmoil and the heroes were competing for the deer decades ago, and if you pin your head to the waistband of your trousers like my grandfather and fight for seven or eight years without dying, you can easily gain the fame of a major general and division commander. His IQ and EQ are also mediocre, and his test scores are ranked in the bottom few of the grades, which fully proves that he is destined not to shake the world and achieve brilliance with a pen and a few pieces of paper like Sun Baixi, the father of the nation.

His only advantage is that he has inherited the good skin of his parents, including the masculine and handsome temperament of his father, the delicate and beautiful facial features of his mother, and enjoys the reputation of "school grass" in the school, which has provoked some wild bees and butterflies. He felt that this was his greatest asset, and he believed that he would definitely encounter the same multiple-choice questions as his father did back then, and he would make the right choice!

Marriage is one of the secrets of countless large families and countless small families throughout the ages, but in the context of the gradual solidification of the class family, appearance is not the key element of marriage, the key element is the right match. Because the two families can have a common language in communication, and they can also support each other in cooperation, so as to ensure that both sides can complement each other's advantages and make progress together. From this point of view, the Baoqing Pu family is indeed the most suitable marriage partner for the Zhuji Chen family.

The Zhuji Chen family had a good start, but the second-generation Chen Cexun was stuck in the rank of colonel, and he lacked a kick in the door when he crossed the threshold of the "family family"; while the second-generation Pu Keshang of the Baoqing Pu family carried a gold star on his shoulder before he was forty years old, which was considered young and promising, but his father Pu Gufeng failed to pay homage to the major general, and he still had a long way to go from the so-called "family family".

If two families get married, they can just make up for each other's shortcomings.

Aside from the old notion that the door is the right person, personal ability is also very important.

There is no doubt about it. Even during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liu Yu and Chen Baxian, who were born in bitter haha, were able to establish their own dynasties, knock a family to the ground, and then set foot on one foot. Another example is Sun Yuanqi in modern times, who is just a teacher, and he can still oust the Aixin Jueluo family, which has ruled the Central Plains for two or three hundred years, and can also play with Yuan Keding, who was born in a family. Therefore, a genius with outstanding talent and ability, even if he is ugly in appearance and from a poor background, is also the object of the family's competition.

This is the fundamental reason why Pu Keshang was able to marry a woman from the Zhao family in the capital.

It is said that although Chen Gongzhe is ready to sacrifice his hue and marry the family, when he first heard that his father Chen Cexun revealed his intention to marry the Baoqingpu family, he still felt quite humiliated in his heart. The reason for the humiliation is that I was actually allowed to marry that kind of unpopular family! Am I so worthless? You must know that among the girls who chase me at school, there are quite a few who come from big families!

Until he saw Pu Xiaoxiang, not only was his heart humiliated, but he was also secretly a little happy. I thought the object of the marriage was an ugly monster, but I didn't expect it to be such a stunner. Just when he was overjoyed, an even greater humiliation soon came to him: Pu Xiaoxiang actually looked down on him, and even disdained him!

However, Chen Gongzhe is not an emotional rookie or a young man in the love field, and he knows the truth that "good women are afraid of pestering him", not to mention that he is still a handsome and dashing handsome guy in the wind? Since they met, he has called Pu Xiaoxiang almost every day, and he will send text messages if he doesn't answer the phone, and after his mobile phone is blacklisted, he will start writing love letters, sending things, and sending flowers, and he will haunt Pu Xiaoxiang for various reasons during the winter and summer vacations...... In short, he has done everything he can for more than a year, but the effect is mediocre. And yesterday, Pu Xiaoxiang was pulling and pulling with a male classmate in front of him!

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

Chen Gongzhe admitted, that man maybe, probably, probably, barely a little more handsome than himself, but what is the use of a boy from an ordinary family, no matter how handsome he is? Can he still go out and sell it? He actually dares to confront the people of the Zhuji Chen family in front of him, what a good dog, do you think that you were born in Huai'an Mansion, and you are a member of the Huai'an Sun family? Pu Xiaoxiang's girl is also a water-based poplar flower, obviously she is already a famous flower, and she is still unclear with other men, and the face of the Baoqingpu family has been lost by her!

Just as he gritted his teeth and felt sorry for himself, the phone suddenly rang. Chen Gongzhe glanced at it impatiently and found that it was his younger brother who called. I forgot to explain that Chen Gongzhe is currently studying at the High School Affiliated to Peking University. Although the High School Affiliated to Peking University is not as good as the famous Shiyàn Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University, it is also one of the top three middle schools in Beijing. If Chen Gongzhe hadn't relied on the help of his own Lao Tzu, and with his sloppy learning attitude, it is estimated that he might not be able to pass the exam if he repeats his studies for another three or four years.

Chen Gongzhe's grades are not good, but he is very righteous, plus his family has a good background, he is born with a good skin, and he is very prosperous on campus, and a large number of younger brothers have gathered around him.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Gongzhe finally pressed the answer button: "Hey-"

"Boss, I heard that you went to Huai'an Mansion to see your sister-in-law?" As soon as it was connected, the voice of the little brother named Zhang Zichen came.

"Not yet, I'm at home now!" Chen Gongzhe naturally wouldn't show his weak wolf side in front of his younger brother, and told a little lie at the moment.

By the way, boss, a few of our brothers are skating in Houhai, and I heard that Sun Liangshu, the little princess of the grandson's family, will also come to experience life. Maybe the little princess will fall in love with you at a glance in the crowd, and you will be developed by then!"
