Chapter 127: The Chen Family's Small Banquet
When the little cousin was about to continue, many elders rushed down from the upper floor to officially start the feast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The old man likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, so even if Chen Fan Erbo has booked a luxury box at the best Hilton Hotel in Jinling, he can only push it.
The banquet is set up in his living room, but the chefs invited are all chefs from five-star hotels.
First of all, the exquisite cold cuts, fish roe salad, squid eggs, pancai rice cakes, republican cold rolls, and topped vegetable tofu. Although they are all usually eaten in hotels, through the craftsmanship of the master, not only the appearance is exquisite, but the taste is full of praise.
Then there are the appetizers of Western food, Italian air-dried beef, cheese platter, shrimp cocktail cup, smoked salmon, and top-quality black caviar flown in from Russia, which makes people smooth and refreshing, and the taste is refreshing.
After a round of serving, it is the main dish, Jinling belongs to the Jingsu cuisine, and the food is relatively sweet and light, which is not in line with the taste of northerners. However, after the master skillfully handled, it was sweet but not greasy, and it did not affect everyone's appetite at all.
After three rounds of drinking, the old man took the lead in stopping the chopsticks, and everyone stopped talking, knowing that the old man was going to speak.
"This time, before returning to Chenjia Village, we will gather together and have a small banquet to summarize the gains and losses of this year. Chen Huaian said in a deep voice.
Everyone was solemn, and some of them who did well this year were worried in their hearts.
The Chen family is a big family, not only Chen Huai'an, he also has several brothers and cousins, all of whom are spread all over Jinling and even Jiangnan cities. There is even an uncle Chen Fan in his hometown, who is over 90 years old.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, everyone gathers at the Chen family's old house to exchange contacts and discuss matters for the coming year. It is also a time for the juniors to compare with each other. Although the Chen family has not produced high-ranking officials and huge wealth for decades, it is precisely with this cohesion that it stands tall in Jinling.
"Let's start with the boss. Grandpa said slowly. "The government has done a good job this year, Mayor Qin mentioned you to me not long ago, and praised you, and after a few years of precipitation, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to deputy mayor, or sent to other cities. ”
Chen Fan's uncle, Chen Zhengxing, is the highest official position in the Chen family now, and he is the secretary general of the Jinling Municipal Government. Most of the Chen family's current momentum is supported by him.
Praised by the old man, Chen Zhengxing's face was calm and not pleasant, but his wife had already smiled.
Everyone looked at the uncle's family with jealousy and envy, and they could be praised by the mayor, and it seemed that Chen Zhengxing's career was going to rise to another level.
"The eldest brother has always been calm, one step at a time, and it is time for him to be the deputy mayor. Chen Fan's second uncle, Chen Qianxing, praised.
"Yes, with the current path of the eldest brother, our Chen family may also have to go out of the provincial department in the future. The sister-in-law looked envious.
"The eldest brother has been promoted to deputy mayor, and our Chen family will be different, and if we look at other veins in the future, do we dare to make irresponsible remarks about the position of the chairman of the humble line. The second aunt said sourly.
Although Chen Huai'an occupies a dominant position, the other veins have always complained about Chen Qianxing's ability, so that Chen Huai'an is not easy to maintain too much.
But if Chen Zhengxing can be promoted to the position of deputy mayor, then all the opposition can be suppressed.
Jinling is a provincial capital, and its vice mayor is no worse than the mayors of other cities.
"Second child, I don't blame others for saying that you did it yourself. Chen Huai'an reprimanded mercilessly. "Hundreds of millions of capital are in your hands, how much has the increase been in the past ten years? At that time, the same batch of companies that were established as you, and now they are listed and out of the province, only our Chen Group is still shrinking in Jinling, how can they not be resentful?"
"You are not even as good as Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun ran to Zhonghai alone, founded Splendid from scratch, and now the assets are chasing the Chen family. I don't think you can be good again, just let Xiaoyun be the chairman of this Chen Group. ”
Chen Qianxing was trained by his grandfather to sweat profusely, he was already fat and wide-faced, smooth and greasy, and now he was even more sweaty, as if he had just been in a sauna.
"Okay, okay, the second child is not wrong, so many shareholders of the company are dragging him back, and it is not easy for him to integrate them together. Grandma Chen Fan stood up and played a round for her beloved second son.
As he spoke, he looked coldly at Wang Xiaoyun, who was sitting opposite.
The old lady had silver hair and a kind face, but Chen Fan was not close to her.
I remember when I was a child, every time I celebrated the New Year, my grandfather brought back good candy and snacks. When the old lady divided, she was close to the grandchildren of the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family, and finally it was Chen Fan's turn.
Especially the old lady hates Chen Fan's mother the most, in her opinion, if this woman hadn't abducted her son and caused trouble, the current Chen family doesn't know how prosperous it is?
"Forget it, you're doing it yourself. Chen Huai was helpless, so he could only wave his hand weakly.
His wife is the most pampered to his second son, otherwise the Chen Group would not have fallen into the hands of Chen Qianxing, who was a mediocre person.
"Ke Xing, how are you doing now?" When facing Chen Ke Xing, the old man's attitude eased significantly.
"Report Dad, I am mainly responsible for assisting County Magistrate Hu this year to build an agricultural park with an investment of 200 million...."Chen Kexing sat down with a serious report and explained his work this year in detail, and the old man was engrossed and couldn't help but nod.
When he was finished, he praised him and encouraged him to work harder.
But the others were obviously blindsided, and the second aunt muttered in a low voice: "It's just a big deputy county magistrate, who looks like a vice governor." The old man didn't praise the boss so much, it was too partial. ”
Her voice was small, but it could be heard by several people on the left and right.
Chen Fan and Anya were sitting next to her, and Anya frowned slightly when she heard this. Although Chen Fan's face was expressionless, he was also unhappy in his heart.
"If you want me to say, the third child, you just transferred to Jinling. What is there to do in such a backward place in Surabaya County? You come to Jinling, and I will protect you for three years, second brother?" Chen Qianxing also said with a big grin.
"That's right, second uncle, you have been working for twenty years before you become the deputy county magistrate, and the younger uncle has only been in the industry for ten years, and his position is almost higher than yours. Chen Xu also answered.
Chen Kexing sat there without moving, but a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face.
Several of his younger siblings entered the government office later than him, but now they are all surpassing him. Even Chen An has only been working for a few years, and he has already been promoted to the main department. In contrast, he is still stuck in that small place in Surabaya County, which seems dull and stubborn.
The old man was silent.
Obviously, although he was praising before, he also had expectations for Chen Kexing to return to Jinling.
A trace of anger flashed in Wang Xiaoyun's eyes, she has such a strong personality, how can she tolerate her husband being talked about by others. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice:
"Although my dad is a small official now, he is doing meritorious deeds in a down-to-earth manner, and in a few years, he will be promoted to mayor and governor, isn't it idle?"
As soon as Chen Fan said this, the hall was shocked.
"You know what you're talking about, not to mention mayors, governors, or county governors, who can't be promoted in a few years. The second uncle laughed.
"That's right, Xiaofan, you are young and don't know anything about officialdom. The eldest uncle also persuaded.
"Adults talk, children don't interject. Uncle was the most majestic, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He has a calm personality, similar to an old man, and hates this kind of easy talk the most.
The others also shook their heads and sneered, even the old lady snorted softly. Chen Kexing and Wang Xiaoyun were both restless, only to feel that their faces were blazing, their sons didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and what they said made people laugh.
"Dad, you don't know yet. Xiao Fan just said that he was going to be admitted to Jinling University? In contrast, I feel that it is easy for the third uncle to be promoted to mayor. Chen Xu took the opportunity to laugh.
"Jinling University?"
Many elders were stunned.
That is the best school in Jiangnan Province, and you can enter it at will? Especially everyone knows Chen Fan's grades.
"Third child, you should take care of your own children. Don't talk big about it, this is going out, don't lose the face of our Chen family and the old man?" Grandma Chen Fan said with a displeased face.
"Yes, yes, Mom. Chen Kexing squeezed out a smile.
He himself is said to have never felt ashamed, because he has faith in his heart and is practicing his beliefs step by step. But his son was reprimanded in public, which made Chen Kexing feel that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Looking at Chen Fan, who was sitting there besieged by everyone, a smile flashed in Chen Ning's eyes:
'Little brat, now you know what will happen if you speak wildly. ’
