Chapter 336: The Strong!
The most important thing in the life of Chinese people is face.
Grades during the study period. The salary is compared during the working period, the person to talk about is compared to the boyfriend and girlfriend, the house and car are compared after marriage, the child's academic performance is compared to the child's academic performance, the child's work salary, and the child's garage object -- the pomp and circumstance of the funeral is more important when he dies.
To sum it up in a nutshell, this is an endless loop, an endless stream of absurd comparisons.
Although people with a little wisdom and a little brains understand that this thing is too illusory and unrealistic. However, since the Confucian and Mencian ideas swept through the land of China, the Chinese people have a good face, and the not-so-good tradition of talking about face has spread from generation to generation, and has become an inferior root in the eyes of some great wise men.
Putting aside this proposition that is macroscopic enough to trace the thousand-year-old history of China, it is natural that the more powerful and statused people are, the more concerned they are.
They are in high positions, powerful and powerful, and are worshiped by thousands of people. They have long developed the habit of looking down on all living beings with pride, and in their eyes, those lowly people who are as humble as cattle and horses under their feet do not need face and do not deserve to have self-esteem. even thinks that one life of the fart people is not worth a harmless fool of them.
Wherever you stand, you should look at the problem from what angle. Some of the predators at the top of the pyramid have a quality and morality that are admirable. But that doesn't mean every predator is the same. Extreme magnates may be able to edify a few wise and sages, but they can be corrupted and nourished into demons and monsters who eat people and do not spit out bones, and they are bound to occupy the majority.
The Chen family wants to save face, and even Chen Yifei, a beautiful young man who can be called the youngest in Yanjing, is not exempt from vulgarity, let alone Chen Xueqin, who is a little cautious in a small city, but even Han Xiaoyi can't look down on the eldest lady?
The first three letters were handed out by the old man of the Chen family in anger, and the last six letters were handed out at the instigation of Chen Xueqin.
The Han family's attitude was so tough that Old Man Chen was a little worried. Letters will indeed bring a certain amount of coercion to the Han family, but they will also bring a lot of pressure to themselves. What should the Han family do if they don't let go? Tear your face after breaking the double-digit letter directly?
This is what the Chen family doesn't want to see, maybe Chen Xueqin is the kind of crazy woman who puts face above everything, and Old Man Chen is definitely not.
Face can be higher than many things, but it can't be higher than the safety of the entire family. The ninth letter is already the limit of Old Man Chen. His identity is not only his father, but also the helmsman of the Chen family, and it is impossible for him to sacrifice the entire family for this daughter, who is not very qualified for the identity of the second lady of the Chen family in terms of wisdom and skill.
Fortunately, the Han family compromised.
After the Chen family trembled and handed over the ninth letter, the Han family finally wanted to talk about wine. The venue is located in the most prestigious youth summit in Yanjing. Several heavyweights will be invited. As for the heavyweights, the big ones who pay attention to this matter are too lazy to study too much. The Han and Chen families are almost the leading giants in Yanjing, how terrifying can they be in the heavyweights?
The only thing they care about is whether the Xue family, which is evenly matched with these two families, will send a representative, and if so, who will they send.
The answer was revealed a little belatedly on the night of the conversation.
Not only will someone from the Xue family attend this peace talk between the two giants, but also the two most famous figures of the Xue family, the madman Xue and the third sister Xue, who is known as the most delicate violet in Yanjing.
The presence of Third Sister Xue undoubtedly added a bit of brilliance to this already interesting talk and wine.
This is a woman who rarely appears in public, and as the helmsman of the Xue family, Xue Baiyan is almost harsh. You may not attend a public event once a year. But even so, her reputation and popularity in Yanjing are no less than Chen Yifei, the number one young man in Yanjing who has soared in popularity in recent years, and Han Zhenbei, a predator of the same generation who has dominated the market for nearly 20 years.
There is no other reason, once this perverted and demonic woman shows up, she is bound to do the rebellious deeds of the devil crying and howling.
Dating back to her first appearance, I have to mention that the Xue family's status was precarious, and internal and external troubles were enough to overturn this sensitive period of Yanjing Business Building. It only took half a year for this woman who was born out of thin air and wise as a demon to pull the crumbling Xue family out of the predicament, and once again built the Han family into an impregnable wall.
This is the first shot by a woman of the Xue family, and it can be called Yanjing's most amazing big move in recent years, except for the sudden rise of Han Zhenbei. It has also been evaluated by many wealthy families as the entry of the women of the Xue family into the WTO.
Born into the world, these two words, which are usually only qualified for the great wise and the sage, are applied to the women of the Xue family, which is enough to prove this woman's shocking skills and terrifying wisdom.
In the next few years, as long as the women of the Xue family show up, it will definitely be followed by a big move. Over time, the wealthy families in Yanjing got used to her style, and even used her appearance as a barometer to watch business opportunities. It can be seen that its influence has reached the point of being feared.
This time, she attended the peace talks of the Han and Chen families, will she continue to show a high-profile posture of not stirring Yanjing upside down?
---Lin Ze took a deep breath and tidied up his clothes in front of the mirror, the well-cut Ashima suit, the pair of big scalp shoes polished with top-grade leather shoe polish, and the full head of black hair that was smeared with half a bottle of hairspray, but still failed to make a satisfactory hairstyle.
In fact, Brother Xiaolin's original intention was to comb a flamboyant but restrained, coquettish and subtle hairstyle. But tossing and turning, it didn't achieve the desired effect. In the end, I had to imitate and sort out the big back of Brother Wen Qiang after his career in the old version of "Shanghai Tang".
Magnificent enough, domineering enough. It is very appropriate to Brother Xiaolin's face that is eight roads behind his actual age.
"Xiao Linzi, you've been dressing up for more than half an hour, are you still okay?" Outside the door, the eldest lady of the Han family urged impatiently.
"Right now, I'm applying eyeliner." Brother Xiao Lin muttered and smeared a handful of toner on his face, intending to make the well-defined face more tense and convenient for a majestic and solemn appearance.
went out, drove under the nagging complaints of the eldest lady of the Han family, and went straight to the Qingfeng Summit.
Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night. This is not only the case for the Chen and Han families, but also countless wealthy families who pay attention to this peace wine.
Lin Ze drove intently, his face was calm, and he was as serious and dignified as a duckling who sold himself for the first time. His tense face was like that of a zombie, and he didn't smile at all.
The first thing that can symbolize the holding of peace wine is that in the game between the Han family and the Chen family, the Han family succumbed and the Chen family took the upper hand.
The Han family regressed, which means that the Han family is unwilling to tear their faces with the Chen family.
No one cares if the Chen family really has the courage to hand over the tenth letter, what people care about is that when the Han family received the ninth letter, they did not hold on to it as always, but chose to make peace.
No matter how many curves are hidden behind it, the conclusion is that the Han family has not fought the Chen family.
Ginger is still old and spicy.
The Quartet giants are so emotional.
The Han family lost slightly. This is the result of the game between the two giants at the helm.
What about the final victory or defeat of this peace wine?
Who knows?
There are not many giants who are qualified to come to the Youth Summit tonight, in addition to the Han, Chen, and Xue families, there are also several veteran giants with far-reaching qualifications, and their comprehensive strength is not as good as these three, but they are strong enough and convincing enough.
The huge clubhouse banquet living room is 200 square meters, and three tables are set up, and each table is standard for ten people. When Han Xiaoyi and Lin Ze arrived, except for the main table, the remaining two seats were full of guests, but even though there were more than 20 people in the banquet hall, it was so quiet that it could be heard, and the atmosphere was quite cold and heavy.
Han Xiaoyi took the lead in walking to the main table, with a sweet and innocent smile on her delicate face as shining and moving as Snow White, like a greenhouse flower that had not yet stepped out of the ivory tower, so delicate that people were reluctant to talk to her loudly. But everyone present is like a mirror, this young lady named the little witch of the mixed world came today, and it is very likely that she is pouring tea and apologizing to Miss Chen Jiaer.
Aggrieved, aggrieved.
Han Xiaoyi's expression was pure, and her beautiful eyes like water glanced at the guests at the main table. In addition to the helmsmen of those old giants, only Chen Xueqin, who is sitting in the main seat, is left. She drank tea tepidly, and under the reserved mask of hypocrisy, there was a touch of arrogance and arrogance.
Refreshing.
Cool to the extreme.
What else is more refreshing for a rival to pour tea in public and admit his mistakes?
Han Xiaoyi glanced at her, and she also looked back at this girl who looked at her with understanding. If it weren't for the sake of face, she would have wanted to be sarcastic and vicious.
Han Xiaoyi stepped on small steps, and before she arrived at the main table, she said crisply: "Sister Chen, my little sister is late." Thank you for your understanding. ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late." Chen Xueqin waved her hand generously. "Xiaoyi sits." But in my heart. "Late? Even if you come back tomorrow, I can wait. ”
Han Xiaoyi first greeted several elders with good status with a smile on her face, and then sat down at the main table with a mature attitude. Lin Ze stood quietly behind her, in the posture of a top-notch bodyguard, silent.
"Aunt Xue hasn't arrived?" Han Xiaoyi glanced at the empty side seat and asked without any scheming.
"It's coming. That's all it takes for a while. Chen Xueqin's aunt had a pretended reserved smirk on her face.
Aunt Xue?
Maybe in the eyes of those turtle giants, she is a demon-level fierce man, but in the eyes of the second lady of the Chen family, she is just a pretending to be arrogant and cold. Relying on the Xue family's background to settle the internal worries, what is the big deal with externally? If my father is willing to let me take power, I can still soar to the sky and lead the Chen family to the peak, and I will never do worse than this woman.
Because Chen Xueqin wanted to slap Han Xiaoyi in the face, she had enough patience to wait for the eldest lady of the Han family who was finally willing to give in.
But at this moment, what he has to wait for is just an outsider who has nothing to do with this matter, and Chen Xueqin's not deep city government has some signs of exposure. From time to time, impatience flashed across his face. Han Xiaoyi caught it, and the old giants present naturally saw it very well, and they all gave this Chen family Miss who had a bad reputation in their hearts an impetuous label.
The people seated at the main table pondered each other, and the men standing behind them also looked at each other nonchalantly.
After Lin Ze paused, the corner of his eye couldn't help but be attracted by the two men behind Chen Xueqin.
One in a white robe, the other in a black robe.
This is the dress of the two standing behind Chen Xueqin.
These two men, who were in their early thirties, had been standing behind Chen Xueqin since Lin Ze's attention. Especially the man in the white robe, from beginning to end, hung his head lightly, his eyes were half-closed, and he was as calm and relaxed as an old monk. It seems that he doesn't care about the things around him at all.
However, the black-robed man with a gloomy face would occasionally raise his head slightly, and his narrow eyes would occasionally reveal a palpitating cold light without a trace. Others couldn't notice it, but Lin Ze could catch it at a glance.
After deliberating about the two men with a difference in clothing and color, Lin Ze came to a terrible conclusion: the top powerhouse with no blade in the heavy sword!
