2015, midsummer.

In the center of Linquan City, more than a dozen high-rise buildings stand like giants, and the asphalt road between the high-rise buildings is crowded with people of vehicles. It's a hot summer day, and the crowded buildings and the crowds of people are steaming with a dull and unpleasant smell. In the building complex, one of the buildings is inlaid with four golden characters of "Huatian Building", which reflect bursts of dazzling light in the strong sunlight, like a crown on the head of a giant.

In an office on the fifth floor of Huatian Building, Chen Yanming sat quietly reviewing documents. Unlike the chaos and noise outside, the office is quiet and cool, and the inside is neat and orderly. Although the employees went back to rest on weekends, Chen Yanming did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Since Chen Yanming went to middle school when his father died of illness, he became independent early, although he is the only child in the family, but his mother still has a hard time supporting him to go to school, in order to reduce his mother's burden, he began to work part-time jobs since middle school, until he graduated from college, which made him much more mature than his classmates of the same age, and also had a lot of social experience. These years of work and study experience made him understand that hard work may not be rewarded, but if you don't work hard, there will definitely be no gain, so he worked very hard, and with excellent performance, he sat in the position of manager in just two years, and had his own house and car.

"Suzu...... Ringing ......" A crisp phone ringtone broke the silence of the office, Chen Yanming put down the pen in his hand and looked at the caller ID on the phone, with a happy smile on his face.

As soon as he pressed the speakerphone, a crisp and pleasant voice that seemed to be fragrant came from the other end of the phone: "Ah Ming, I knew that you must be at work again, you are now a manager, and your performance is so good, there is no need to work so hard, you should take more rest, even if you don't want to rest, you should accompany your aunt more, you can't bear to let her old man be at home alone." ”

"Huh. Chen Yanming subconsciously scratched his head, "Dandan, isn't there still you, our mother is happier to see you than to see me." ”

"What, my mother, I won't tell you. By the way, there's a dinner party tonight, are you going?"

"What dinner? I'm not going to go if I'm too bored. Chen Yanming has never been very interested in those dinners, he is a person who likes to be quiet, and he is very disgusted by the noise in the dinner, and Zheng Dan is also very considerate of his feelings, every time she attends the dinner, she asks Chen Yanming's opinion, and never insists.

"It's my good sister Ruoruo and her brother Shang Wenqiang who have returned to China, Ruoruo has hosted a dinner party for her brother in her villa, and invited those of us who grew up together when we were children to get together. Hey, let me tell you, Shang Wenqiang's kid has pursued me before, you won't be wrong. ”

These words obviously had some provocative meaning, and Chen Yanming's mind suddenly appeared Zheng Danna's beautiful and delicate face, "Of course I'm jealous, and it's because I'm jealous that I want to go over, lest my Dandan be snatched away ......."

"Well, that's good, you come back early, I'll cook for 'our mother', po~, bye-bye." Zheng Dan was very happy with Chen Yanming's answer, and gave him a fragrant kiss on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yanming did not continue to review the documents, but fell into deep thought, remembering the bits and pieces of being with Zheng Dan over the years.

Zheng Dan is not an ordinary girl, she is the daughter of the Zheng family, one of the three major families in Linquan City. Zheng Tianzhen, the head of the Zheng family, started from scratch, and his younger brother Zheng Tianxiang finally had this family business after years of hard work. Although the Zheng family is very wealthy, because the Zheng family is only a newly rising family, the population is thin, except for Zheng Dan, only Zheng Tianxiang has a son Zheng Wei, who is one year younger than Zheng Dan.

Zheng Dan has a free and lively personality, he doesn't like the intrigue in the shopping mall, Zheng Tianzhen's brothers decided to let Zheng Wei, who has a good business talent, inherit the family business, and the thinness of the people makes the Zheng family very united and harmonious, without the struggle for power and profit within the big family that has been inherited, Zheng Dan is also very in favor of this, he is happy to be idle, and usually likes to travel in the mountains and rivers.

An unintentional encounter, Zheng Dan met Chen Yanming, who was difficult to go out to relax, Chen Yanming was also very tempted by Zheng Dan, who had a refined temperament and beautiful appearance, and the two fell in love at first sight and soon came together.

As Zheng Dan's father, Zheng Tianzhen has been busy with his career because his wife passed away early, but he has always found time to accompany Zheng Dan and loves Zheng Dan very much. Zheng Tianzhen rarely interferes with his daughter's feelings, he just hopes that Zheng Dan can live a happy life, and he doesn't want those family interests to affect his daughter's lifelong happiness. With the means of the helmsman of a consortium, Zheng Tianzhen has a clear understanding of Chen Yanming's details, is very satisfied with his personality, and is relieved to let the two be together.

At night, the starry sky was faintly smoked by the filthy breath of this earthly world, and the neon of the whole city looked a little dazzling in the dark and silent night, extremely hideous, like a lurking beast.

Chen Yanming and Zheng Dan accompanied their mother to dinner, and the two of them changed their clothes and went out. Chen Yanming drove Zheng Dan to the suburbs, and arrived at the Starry Night Villa in less than twenty minutes. The air in the suburbs is obviously much better than in the city, the trees around the villa still look lush in the night, and the stars in the sky shine brightly on the earth, which is exactly the name of the Starry Night Villa.

Zheng Dan wore an emerald green dress, the right size set off Zheng Dan's figure of 1.65 meters exquisitely, like a dancing elf when she walked, coupled with her naturally noble and elegant and natural and friendly temperament, entering the villa immediately attracted the attention of a large number of men in the villa, and Chen Yanming, who was also outstanding in his temperament and appearance in a tuxedo, compared the young men and women on the field at once.

"Sister Dandan, you have stolen all the limelight from your sister when you came. A coquettish voice came from the crowd, and then walked out of a peerless baby who was not inferior to Zheng Dan, it was Shang Wenruo, the owner of this villa, which was different from Zheng Dan's purity and liveliness, Shang Wenruo's beauty was a charming beauty, her lovely baby face had a charming temperament, which was already very attractive, and she was wearing a pink evening dress, Shang Wenruo at this time was simply a demon girl who charmed all beings.

Shang Wenruo slowly walked up to Zheng Dan and took Zheng Dan's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Dandan, you are dressed so beautifully today, but you have to charm the hearts of many young talents, Brother Yan Ming, the task of protecting the flower messenger is quite arduous." If it weren't for Sister Dandan, you are now a famous flower, I would like to pull you to be my sister-in-law. ”

Zheng Dan glared at Shang Wenruo angrily: "You little girl, my sister is not your sister-in-law now." After speaking, he looked at Chen Yanming happily and held his arm tightly. Zheng Dan knew that Chen Yanming would definitely have to contact those families if he wanted to create his own business in the future, so he wanted to help him have a good relationship with these families as much as possible.

"Yes, yes, Brother Yanming is also my brother, and you are also my sister-in-law. Saying that, Shang Wenruo squeezed his big charming eyes at Chen Yanming, even if Chen Yanming was with a beauty like Zheng Dan all day long, he already had a great immunity to beauties, and he was still a little unbearable.

Several young people in the crowd stood together and talked. A young man with half-yellow hair and a slightly chubby figure smiled and said to the handsome and extraordinarily handsome young man in the middle: "Qiang Shao, when you pursued Zheng Dan back then, you took a lot of effort but didn't succeed, and now that someone has chased her, you don't have any ideas, and you don't express it?"

"Hmph! No one has been able to snatch what I want. But I'd better be less interfered with by others. Shang Wenqiang glanced lightly at the yellow head who had just spoken.

Huang Tou suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he looked at this playmate who had grown up together in puzzlement, but he hadn't seen him for a few years, I Yan Chuang was the same as Shang Wenqiang, he was the heir of a big family, how could he feel so much pressure on him. Although Shang Wenqiang's words were very polite, Yan Chuang didn't dare to speak again, which surprised several young people next to him.

Shang Wenqiang didn't care about the expression on Yan Chuang's face, and set his eyes on Zheng Dan and Chen Yanming, and a greedy cold light flashed in his unfazed eyes, which was fleeting, and he was slightly surprised in his heart: I didn't expect that in just a few years, Zheng Dan had changed from a young little girl to a big beauty. It seems that it was a mistake not to get her in the first place, but it won't be too late now. Thinking in his heart, he walked towards Zheng Dan with a smile on his face, and consciously made a passage around the crowd. Shang Wenqiang walked up to Zheng Dan and said with a smile: "Dandan, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting more and more beautiful, I regret that I didn't chase you in the first place." Haha, just kidding, this must be your boyfriend. Shang Wenqiang turned his gaze to Chen Yanming and stretched out his right hand.

"Chen Yanming. Chen Yanming politely reported his name and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shang Wenqiang, suddenly, Chen Yanming felt a strong force coming from his hand, and the feeling that the bones seemed to be shattering made him gasp, but he didn't show the endurance that he had learned from Zheng Tianzhen for several years, endured the pain and smiled reluctantly, and lightly withdrew his right hand. At this time, the smile on Shang Wenqiang's face was even bigger

"Come on, come on, don't stand at the door, let's talk inside. ”

Shang Wenqiang took the lead and walked inside, beckoning the other guests to chat casually.

Chen Yanming found a remote place to sit down, relaxed his aching right hand, and drank red wine quietly. Zheng Dan chatted with some acquaintances for a while, and saw Chen Yanming sitting alone in the corner, hurriedly said hello to the others, and walked to Chen Yanming and sat down.

"Amin, I'm sorry. Zheng Dan looked at Chen Yanming apologetically, she knew that Chen Yanming didn't like to participate in such a dinner, but she still accompanied her, and she felt very warm and a little apologetic.

"Dandan, it's okay, you don't have to worry about me, it's rare for you to get together with Ruoruo and them, talk to them more, I'll wait for you here." Chen Yanming smiled and patted Zheng Dan's hand, "Go ahead." Zheng Dan smiled sweetly, kissed Chen Yanming lightly on the face, and turned around and walked towards the field.

Those young people who were chatting looked at Chen Yanming with some schadenfreude, for Zheng Dan, who was beautiful and moving, and had an outstanding temperament, they were also in love, but Shang Wenqiang had pursued Zheng Dan at the beginning, they didn't have a strong strength and background, where did they dare to compete with Shang Wenqiang. Even if Shang Wenqiang went abroad before he chased Zheng Dan into his hands, Zheng Dan had already been labeled as Shang Wenqiang in their eyes. Who dares to move the meat in the tiger's mouth, coupled with Zheng Dan's background, they can only target some other beauties. Who wants to kill Chen Yanming halfway, which makes these rich children depressed, but they don't bother to care. Now that Shang Wenqiang is back, I heard that his status in the family has been greatly improved, and depending on the situation, he still has a lot of interest in Zheng Dan. They were happy to see if this tiger-biting boy was abolished, or if his life could not be saved.

The whole dinner was very peaceful, that is, Shang Wenqiang re-communicated with his former younger brothers, and those young people from different family forces were also very happy to make friends with this prince. After all, they are both big families, and the strength of the Shang family is comparable to the sum of the other two families. If you can get on this big tree, it will not be a problem to soar in the future, and if you get it right, your status in the family will also rise.

Chen Yanming looked at Shang Wenqiang, who kept socializing and chatting with everyone, and was a little worried in his heart, he could feel Shang Wenqiang's hostility towards him, and it could even be said to be contempt, after all, Chen Yanming did not become Shang Wenqiang's opponent, whether it was himself or background, Chen Yanming was not worth mentioning in Shang Wenqiang's eyes. Those people in small family forces can easily compare to him. If it weren't for Zheng Tianzhen's obviously good attitude towards Chen Yanming, those younger brothers under Shang Wenqiang would have gone to kill Chen Yanming a long time ago.

Unlike those small forces, the forces represented by Shang Wenqiang are much stronger than the Zheng family, if Shang Wenqiang wants to marry Zheng Dan, even if Zheng Dan is unwilling, Zheng Tianzhen is likely to let Zheng Dan and Chen Yanming break off contact for the sake of the family. Depending on where you are, the things to consider will be very different. There is a lot of competition between the interests of the family, and Chen Yanming does not dare to guarantee whether family affection or family interests are important in Zheng Tianzhen's heart, so he can only marry Zheng Dan as soon as possible, so as to make Shang Wenqiang give up and avoid long nights and dreams.

The whole dinner lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening, and those who exchanged feelings with Shang Wenqiang and talked about cooperation left one after another, Zheng Dan and Shang Wenruo, Shang Wenqiang said goodbye, and also got in the car and left.

Watching Chen Yanming's car of more than 200,000 yuan drive into the night and gradually disappear from sight, the disdain in Shang Wenqiang's eyes showed his face without reservation, such an opponent really made him feel very bored.

In the dead of night, the whole world has stopped hustle and bustle, the neon lights have gradually faded in color, and the city, a fierce beast that seems to be hidden in the night, seems to be even more hideous.
