After this ups and downs of discussion came to an end, the atmosphere gradually eased a lot, and the old man didn't mention it anymore, obviously having a final decision.

It's just that several Chen family members still have their own thoughts, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time, among them, Chen Xiaomei's three people are the most turbulent.

It's not surprising that the anticipation of thinking about it for a long time, in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, but it became Chen Mingyuan's cannon fodder to shine in front of the old man, how could this sullenness be straightened out!

At the same time, Chen Xiaomei is also wondering, how did this nephew become so smart and calm, he said it all the way, and he was stunned to say that the old man with strong principles was shaken, this ability is not a temporary play or pretense to fool the past, could it be that he really had an epiphany after reading a book outside for a few years?

This question also bothered everyone present.

They can't make more guesses, and soon after, people came to visit the old man who moved to the inner hall, first the chairman of the China Shipping Industry and Commerce Federation, the deputy mayor of the government, and then the major business gentry and government dignitaries also visited.

At this moment, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but think of the rumors about the Zhonghai system in later generations, this interest group that is about to affect the fate of the Republic in the next ten years, presumably it is also at this time that it has gradually become the climate, perhaps their organizational relationship is still relatively loose now, but due to the common interests, it will naturally form an intertwined network, echoing each other and closely connected, followed by the skyrocketing power and wealth, and finally showing a three-legged trend with the traditional northern system and the emerging group system!

This interest group has similarities with the oligarchs of its northern neighbors, but it is very different, and the most obvious point is that they are hidden even deeper, to the point that ordinary people are completely unable to snoop on them!

Chen Mingyuan didn't think much about it, after all, whether it is Huaxia or Western countries, it will be ruled by the elite for a long time, which has been proven by countless times in history!

"Does it matter if you want it?"

Ruohan still said with a worried face: "Anyway, grandpa, you have also seen it, why don't I accompany you to the doctor first." ”

Everything that should be said has been said, and it makes no sense for Chen Mingyuan to continue to stay, but he didn't witness the old man's rejection of the Zhou family's proposal, and he still couldn't let go......

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door of the hall, and after a while, I saw four people walking in together accompanied by Chen Guoliang.

One of the old couples is Cen Ruohan's parents, both of whom are already in their early fifties, the Cen family is not only the Chen family's family friends, Cen Ruiwen has also worked hard with the old man for decades, and he is deeply respected, from the grassroots section chief all the way to the executive vice mayor of Zhonghai, with a pragmatic style, and his wife Lin Yazhen is also elegant in temperament.

The one next to him, of the same age, with a big back, gold-rimmed glasses, and a calm and dignified bearing, Chen Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and recognized that this person was the emperor of Zhonghai, Zhou Qifeng, the patriarch of the Zhou family!

This is the first time Chen Mingyuan has seen this powerful official in reality, reminiscent of his previous life, when he saw Zhou Qifeng's demeanor as a central leader in front of the TV, he couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Mingyuan immediately focused his attention on the young man who followed Zhou Qifeng, even after two lifetimes, he still remembered this face vividly, Zhou Zhexiong, the son-in-law of the Zhou family!

In fact, Chen Mingyuan has no friendship with Zhou Zhexiong, except for hearing about this noble son's long-sleeved dancing for a long time, that is, after he married Cen Ruohan, he had a deep impression of this person, and then witnessed Zhou Zhexiong be promoted to the core of the Zhonghai Department under the blessing of the family, and became a well-known magnate in China!

In the original history, Chen Mingyuan and the Zhou family's father and son couldn't fight each other, but now, in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy between the family and Cen Ruohan, they can't get around!

"Dad, Mom......" Cen Ruohan called crisply, and then stepped forward and grabbed his mother's arm.

"Mayor Cen, this is your daughter Ruohan, right?"

Zhou Qifeng looked at Cen Ruohan, who was peerless, showed a satisfied look, and said with a smile: "I remember that many years ago, when she was a little girl, she was already beautiful and delicate, but I didn't expect that now she is more and more beautiful and moving, hehe." ”

"It's overrated." Cen Ruiwen said with a smile, "Ruohan, don't hurry up and see your Uncle Zhou." ”

Ruohan greeted generously, and his smile was a little unnatural.

Zhou Qifeng was extremely satisfied with this "prospective daughter-in-law", but because he still had important things to do, he said a few words of greeting, and then pushed his son out, "Zhexiong, Ruohan may still be a little uncomfortable after returning from abroad for a few days, you should spend more time with her." ”

Zhou Zhexiong hurriedly nodded in agreement, polite and personable, so that Father Cen and Mother Cen were secretly satisfied.

The daughter is not young, marriage has always been the second elder's heart disease, if she can marry Zhou Zhexiong, it can be regarded as a match made in heaven.

"Grandpa Cen, Grandma Lin." Chen Mingyuan also came over to greet him.

"It's Mingyuan, I haven't seen him for some years, and I've grown into a little adult."

Raven patted him on the shoulder, didn't say much, and heard Chen Guoliang's reminder next to him, so he went to the inner hall with his wife and Zhou Qifeng to visit the old man.

"It's been a long time, Ruohan." Zhou Zhexiong pointed to the corner and said with a smile: "Let's go there and sit down first." ”

Ruohan was not very happy, and prevaricated: "Unfortunately, Mingyuan is a little unwell, and I am about to take him to the hospital......"

"Aunt Cen, it's rare for the two of you to see each other once, you might as well sit down and talk a little more, don't spoil a good thing because of me." Chen Mingyuan suddenly made this strange suggestion.

Ruohan glared at him reproachfully, and said in his heart, why are you still pushing me into the fire pit?

Zhou Zhexiong was overjoyed, and his good impression of Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but increase, and he said with a smile: "You are Aunt Yang's child Mingyuan, you have admired it for a long time." ”

Chen Mingyuan shook hands with him, not reassuring him at all about his polite words.

Ruohan had no choice but to sit down with the two of them, chatting with each other.

Zhou Zhexiong didn't care much about this light bulb, he had an understanding of the situation of the Chen family, Yang Xiuning, who is now in power in front of the stage, has only one son, although he has a good academics, he is introverted and impulsive, and there is a tendency that the mud can't support the wall.

He has seen a lot of this kind of son, it is nothing more than his heart is higher than the sky and he is impulsive and competitive, but seeing that Cen Ruohan is silent, he has to find a topic to talk about on Chen Mingyuan, so as to find a breakthrough.

He has no shortage of women, but after all, he wants to get married, and finding a lady who is the right person is undoubtedly the best choice, so for Cen Ruohan, he is determined to win!

"Mingyuan, you should graduate, where are you now?" Zhou Zhexiong heard that Chen Mingyuan did not return to the family to do things, but he didn't know exactly how.

Chen Mingyuan said with a smile: "I can't talk about Gao, so I got a job at the TV station in Dongjiang Province." ”

Zhou Zhexiong was slightly surprised: "Do you want to do a career in the media? ”

"What kind of career is it, he is nothing more than a gangster life, so he can be angry with his family." Cen Ruohan snorted lightly, still sullen about his betrayal.

Zhou Zhexiong suddenly realized, smiled lightly, faintly revealing disdain and contempt!

"Mingyuan, it's not Brother Zhou who said you, you have a great future, there is no need to compete in these things, but you have to be said to be naïve and foolish."

Zhou Zhexiong taught in the tone of a person who came over: "If you want to fight for a career by your own efforts, that's okay, but you also have to choose the right path, you can't just rely on your own preferences to do nonsense, and delay your good youth will outweigh the losses." ”

"Look, because of this, even your Aunt Cen is upset, do you want to go?"

Chen Mingyuan remained silent, it seems that this guy wants to teach himself a lesson by ridiculing, so as to show Cen Ruohan his demeanor as a successful person.

As everyone knows, this directly hit Cen Ruohan's reverse scales, and his face was suddenly frosty.

For Chen Mingyuan, she is full of doting, saying that he is not a few words, but she is also sincerely for his good, but it does not mean that she will tolerate outsiders to slander Chen Mingyuan!

Without waiting for her to say something, Zhou Zhexiong took out another business card, handed it over and said: "I know a trading company, it is short of manpower, if you are interested, I recommend you to go over, as long as you work hard in a down-to-earth manner, it will never treat you badly, what do you think?" ”

Chen Mingyuan took the business card and looked at it twice, and was sure that this was the company controlled by Zhou Zhexiong behind the scenes, and said, "It seems that the treatment should be good, right?" ”

Zhou Zhexiong said very cheerfully: "As long as you nod your head, it's easy to talk about treatment or something, what else is polite to Brother Zhou?" ”

"I understand this heart."

Chen Mingyuan fiddled with his business card and smiled leisurely, "It's just that I've never believed that pies will fall from the sky, because this kind of thing is often ruined by gold and jade, and it looks tempting and delicious, but if you really eat it, you may choke to death if you don't poison yourself...... Oh, of course, it's not about Brother Zhou's invitation. ”

In an instant, Zhou Zhexiong's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes even showed a cold light, but it was really difficult to attack in front of everyone's eyes.

At the critical moment, Cen Ruohan came out and smiled apologetically: "Zhexiong, he is still young and has no sense of proportion, don't be like him." ”

Having said that, Cen Ruohan was almost amused by this absurd analogy, and the unhappiness just now also disappeared: This kid, I didn't hurt him in vain!

"It's okay, there is some truth in what he said, young people have to be down-to-earth......"

Zhou Zhexiong reluctantly smiled dryly, and firmly hated Chen Mingyuan in his heart.

Just as he was trying to reverse it, the door of the inner hall opened, and accompanied by Chen Guoliang, Zhou Qifeng walked out in a hurry, his face was cloudy, he didn't look at Cen Ruohan, and said quickly: "Zhexiong, let's go first." ”

Zhou Zhexiong was stunned, he couldn't figure out how his father, who was still full of spring breeze just now, was cloudy in a blink of an eye, and seeing that Zhou Qifeng had gone away, he had to quickly say goodbye and follow up.

Chen Xiao's tense nerves finally relaxed, and it seemed that the rift between the Chen family and the Zhou family had inevitably arisen.

Ruohan sensitively noticed that the conversation in the inner hall didn't seem to be very harmonious, and he didn't have time to think about it, when his shoulders suddenly sank, and a slightly heavy heat sprayed on the goose's neck, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Chen Mingyuan leaning on his body, and said angrily: "Aunt Cen, help me ......."

Cen Ruohan's frightened call came from his ears, but he felt an unprecedented sense of relief......
