After a while, the secretary brought in the freshly brewed hot tea, and Chen Mingyuan stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window while gently blowing the green leaves on the water, looking at this thriving new city.

Cen Ruohan leaned on the sofa, holding her cheeks with her bare hands, and her face showed a trace of exhaustion.

Don't look at her prosperous business and good fortune, in fact, it is quite tiring for a woman to work hard and juggle between busy affairs and high-ranking businessmen.

The two of them did not speak, but the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

After a long time, Cen Ruohan said softly: "I have to go to Dongjiang University tomorrow for graduate classes, or I won't spend the night there." ”

Chen Mingyuan glanced back, showed a narrow smile, and said, "Auntie, your newly arranged boudoir, is it appropriate for me to live in it?" Looking at Cen Ruohan's eyes, it was a little playful.

If he was still sitting on the sofa, Cen Ruohan would definitely reward him with a chestnut again, so he bit his silver tooth cherry lips and glanced at him fiercely, and immediately avoided his gaze, picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, held the fruit knife and sharpened it, and said casually: "Mingyuan, I think about it, I will live alone in this life!" ”

Chen Mingyuan was stunned, he didn't expect Cen Ruohan to say such a thing.

It seems that before, Cen Ruohan also revealed this kind of meaning, and expressed his intention of not wanting to marry several times.

But then again, unconsciously, Cen Ruohan's virtual age is nearly thirty, at this age, even if she is placed in the white-collar class in the metropolis, she can be regarded as a veritable leftover girl, not to mention the extremely special family behind her.

Although the Cen family is just a small gateway from a civilian background, relying on the support of the Chen family, and several coincidences, Cen Ruiwen was pushed step by step to the pinnacle of power in Zhonghai City, this change, he was shortlisted for the political/bureau, and Ning Lizhong, Mu Dingyin and others are listed as national leaders, and the future is very good, according to the current status quo of the members of the Zhonghai Department, as well as his own age, as long as there is no mistake in the future, he will definitely be pushed to the top of Huaxia's power!

If the Chen family is likely to suffer a major impact because of the old man's illness, then among the members gathered around this big tree, Cen Ruiwen is undoubtedly the safest one!

And Cen Ruohan, as the only daughter in the family, will also attract attention from many aspects in recent years, knowing that she is still in the boudoir, and marriage proposals abound, in addition to Cen Ruiwen's extraordinary status, Cen Ruohan's own conditions in the show of wisdom also attract many young leaders who pursue her like a carp crossing the river.

It stands to reason that such a woman with a collection of family background, wisdom and beauty does not need to worry about marriage at all, and there is a lot of room for choice, but every time she faces such a topic, Cen Ruohan chooses to avoid it, even if Cen Ruiwen and Lin Yazhen say it, they are still indifferent and spend all their thoughts on work.

Seeing the loneliness between Cen Ruohan's eyebrows, Chen Mingyuan's eyebrows frowned, and said, "Auntie, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Cen Ruohan glanced at him deeply, there was a trace of indescribable brilliance in his eyes, but he just shook his head and said indifferently: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you first, right?" ”

"My business?"

"Hmm."

A trace of struggle and hesitation flashed across Cen Ruohan's face, and finally gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, took out another envelope from the drawer, handed it over, and said, "Look at it, this is what your mother asked me to transfer to you, you...... Some mental preparation. ”

Chen Mingyuan took the envelope, opened the seal, took out several photos from it, and looked at it, and there were several young and beautiful girls on them, their eyes stared, and they said, "What is this for?" ”

Cen Ruohan's demeanor was a little embarrassed, he lowered his eyes, and said hesitantly: "Mingyuan, you should also know that the old man's body has ...... Alas, the last time I went to visit his old man, between the conversations, he was most concerned about you, he was very worried that he couldn't help you for a long time, so he ......" paused, and sighed helplessly: "Your mother and their thoughts are similar, they don't want your good future to suffer any twists and turns, but it is inconvenient to say it directly, because they are afraid that you will resist, so they can only entrust me to say." ”

Chen Mingyuan's sword eyebrows were already tightly locked.

Cen Ruohan said it very tactfully, but the meaning couldn't be clearer, the family hopes that he can immediately set a lifelong event!

As for the young women in the photo, they must be the objects that the family has been looking for for themselves!

Cen Ruohan seemed to have expected him to have this expression, and said slowly: "I won't tell you, my father and the old lady have talked about it a long time ago, hoping that the family affairs will be settled within the year, and it will also be beneficial to you, you are not young anymore, it's time to start a family." Seeing that Chen Mingyuan was about to speak, he raised his hand to block it, and said: "You listen to me first, I know the Tao, you have people and things that you can't let go, but the reality can't allow you to linger anymore, in all fairness, with your current achievements, your future achievements will definitely be only high, but the problem is ...... I said something unpleasant, if your dad didn't leave so early, you don't have to worry about your affairs at all, but now, only the old man is supporting you, and you can guarantee that once you don't have this support, you can still climb to the highest point. ”

To be honest, Cen Ruohan was very reluctant to be this 'wicked person', and she didn't want to see Chen Mingyuan also become a victim of a political marriage, but after weighing it repeatedly for a long time, she still decided to take up this task, disgust to disgust, but about Chen Mingyuan's future, she must be ruthless!

To say that Chen Mingyuan has stepped into the ranks of the department at the age of twenty-six, which can be said to be rare in the system, but many people, including her, know very well that Chen Mingyuan still has a long way to go in the future, and the more he goes up, the more he will test his soft power!

Now don't say that it is to mention a main place, that is, to mention a main hall, for the Chen family, it is an easy thing, maybe as long as the old man calls Comrade He Xiangdong, then the future of the grandson will definitely be smooth.

There is just a truth, but I have to mention it, when people mention you, it is about human feelings; If people don't mention you, that's a matter of principle, but there is no obligation to mention you!

This is also Chen Mingyuan's biggest weakness, he seems to have a strong background and connections, but his father died early, which doomed him to rely on himself more often, and now the old man is still here, and he can take care of it at a critical time, but to put it mildly, once the old man is gone, he has to put a big question mark.

Some people may feel that there will be Chen Guoliang, Cen Ruiwen and others to protect them at that time, but don't forget, there is a truth that the whole world is intimate, people are selfish, and there will be occasional friction within the family because of their own selfishness, who can guarantee that Chen Guoliang, Cen Ruiwen and others will regard Chen Mingyuan as their own selfless dedication?

Especially Chen Guoliang, he still has a son, and he is in a critical period of his career, he is reasonable, and he will definitely stare at his own one-third of an acre of land in the depths of his heart, and he may have sincere care for Chen Mingyuan, but it is limited to this, the family resources are limited, and after the old man is gone, there is not much to take advantage of, and at this time, the allocation of resources will inevitably be weighed.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, destroyed Shu Han, swallowed Eastern Wu, and unified the world. The result? It's just such a top hero, who gave birth to an idiot son, at that time, he obviously had other sons and nephews, but he still passed the throne to that idiot son in the end, and the Jin Dynasty also fell...... For what? For a selfish purpose! No matter how bad his son is, he is still his own after all!

As a child of a high-ranking cadre, Cen Ruohan understands this very well, now it is just a positive place, and people can solve it with their mouths, but at the provincial level, it is a radish and a pit, you occupy it, and the others will not have it.

Therefore, there is often a saying in the secular market, saying that it is an era of fighting for fathers, especially in China, which pays attention to interpersonal relationships, which can be said to be true throughout the ages, and officialdom is no exception!

Chen Mingyuan pinched those photos and was speechless for a long time, and what he was most worried about still happened...... Due to the old man's cancer, the hearts of the family and peripheral members were in turmoil, and Lu Bainian was still worried that after the old man's accident, he had the intention of replanning the future, so why didn't the clansmen have similar thoughts.

The old man was probably very worried that after he drove to the west, he would cast a shadow on his career, so he was anxious to set a reliable family business for himself, so that even if the old man was gone, he could at least have something to rely on.

In view of this, although he has never lived with these women in the photo, Chen Mingyuan can be sure that there is a huge group of powerful people behind these women!

"Think about it yourself, but time is running out." Cen Ruohan softened his tone and patiently explained: "As for these girls, they are all carefully selected by the family, and their appearance, temperament and background are very good, two of them are still nodded by the old chief, and the future of their parents is unanimously bullish, and the resources in hand will also be very helpful to you." ”

"Aunt, you know the truth, I can't accept these ......" Reason is one thing, but feelings are another, Chen Mingyuan can't do it for the sake of glory and wealth, he can give up the persistence in his heart.

"Mingyuan, why are you stubborn!" Cen Ruohan was a little angry that iron could not be made of steel, and he had said all the good things, why couldn't he understand the hard work of his people, hesitated, and asked: "At this juncture, do you still have illusions about her?" ”

Chen Mingyuan was silent.

"Silly boy! Wake up, you can't see it yet, the Mu family can't agree to the two of you at all, the position of those people in the Mu family is very clear, they want the present, not the future, no matter how good your future is, it will be at least more than ten years later, they don't have the patience and need to wait! ”

Cen Ruohan took a deep breath, the color of struggle and unbearability flashed in his eyes, and his voice gradually turned lower, and said, "You may not know the Dao, but now there is a rumor that the Mu family has decided to form an alliance with the Kou family......"

Hearing this, Chen Mingyuan's head seemed to roar, flashing lightning, and his thoughts went blank for a moment.
