At the banquet afterward, Zhang Nianjun was very active.

He followed Ni Junyao and toasted everyone who came to congratulate, and his ease made Zhang Chen admire him very much. On the other hand, not only is he not as active as him, but he wants to stay out of it. Only at the beginning, under the leadership of his grandfather Zhang Yicheng, he toasted several heavyweights, and he sat at the dinner table for the whole meal.

"Your cheap brother works so hard, and you are so heartless and heartless, you can still eat~" Liu Mingxuan looked at Zhang Nianjun who was walking among the guests, hating that iron is not steel, An Zhigao, who was sitting next to him, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip as if he hadn't heard that.

"You know I've never liked socializing." Zhang Chen was indifferent, "Since he is willing to greet guests on my behalf, of course I will fulfill him!" ”

Liu Mingxuan listened to Zhang Chen's words, then turned his head to look at someone who was so excited that his face was red, and lit a candle for him in his heart.

That man thought that he was in the limelight today, but he would never have thought that he thought that he had stolen everyone's attention from Zhang Chen, but in fact, he would not know that people didn't care about what he valued at all.

……

Zhang Chen is indeed not interested in these at all, although befriending these people in front of him will be of great help to his business, but he doesn't want his words and deeds to become so purposeful.

These guests who came here today are all for Zhang Yicheng and his son, or in the name of General Zhang Huai'an Weilin, and they should be warm and thoughtful, but if they show it too much and become flattering, they will lose the face of the general's mansion.

Business can be done at any time, but the face is lost, and it is not something you can pick up if you want to.

Except for Prince Cheng, who did not come to congratulate him because of his advanced age, almost all the magnates in the capital came to Wangheju, including several brothers-in-law of Liu Mingxuan and Qin Zifeng, the concubine of the dynasty.

Because of Liu Mingxuan's relationship and Zhang Chen's relationship with Qin Zifeng, their attitude towards Zhang Chen was very friendly, which made Zhang Nianjun very jealous, so when toasting with them, Zhang Nianjun used all his strength, and the compliments in his mouth were like not wanting money, sentence after sentence.

But he forgot what people's impression of him was, and the result of using too much force was that his performance made everyone jealous. Because they didn't know why Zhang Nianjun was so abnormal, they would subconsciously think that Zhang Nianjun was asking for them.

When a person's behavior makes people feel full of purpose, then that person's character will be firmly discounted in the eyes of the other party. If something happens in the future, they will have no sense of identity with this person from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally they will not give him much high evaluation.

Therefore, Zhang Chen didn't know whether to say that Zhang Nianjun was smart, or if he was smart but was mistaken by smart.

……

What Zhang Chen thinks, Zhang Nianjun has no time to take care of it at all, and all his attention at the moment is spent on building a good relationship with these people in front of him.

In the past, when he was the only son of General Weilin, he didn't like socializing at all, but in fact, he didn't need to socialize at all. Because no matter what she did at that time, there would be a lot of people around him, and every time on such an occasion, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the star arch moon.

But after his life experience was exposed, the people who were originally around him left very thoroughly. This also made him deeply aware of how important a person's background is.

When interacting with others, they never look at who you are, but first and foremost focus on who you are. If you are noble, even if you behave in a vulgar manner, you will be said to be a true character. And if you come from a humble background, then no matter how noble your sentiments are, you will be taken for granted and pretentious.

Like these people who are smiling at him now, who knows if they are secretly laughing at themselves in their hearts? When you say compliments to yourself, are you despising your own hypocrisy?

All Zhang Nianjun's former pride, after his true life experience was revealed, all became faintly inferior. The last thing he could see was the disdain and ridicule that might appear on the faces of others after he turned around.

Today's situation was unexpectedly good, and the moment he turned his head suddenly, it seemed that he had not seen the last expression on anyone's face. That's why he was able to hold the wine glass and maintain a flawless smile until now.

Especially when he saw Zhang Chen sitting at the dining table and eating with his head bored, he almost sneered. What if you are born noble? Raised in a poor peasant family, isn't he still vulgar and short-sighted?

The only fly in the ointment is that his father Zhang Huaian seems to be a little dissatisfied with his performance today, and has been hinting at Ni Junyao and taking Zhang Chen around.

Fortunately, the fool took the initiative to return to his seat after toasting them for a few tables.

It is said that in order to show the affection between their brothers in front of everyone, he should sit at the same table with Zhang Chen to eat, fortunately, that Liu Mingxuan also brought An Zhigao and took up the bench that was originally arranged for him, otherwise Zhang Nianjun would definitely not be able to swallow this meal.

Picking up the dining table he had specially selected, Zhang Nianjun walked over and sat on an idle stool.

"You don't mind if I'm sitting here, do you?"

When everyone heard this, their faces were a little uncomfortable, but they thought of the person in front of them, even if he was not the general's son, he was already considered a righteous son by the general of the north, and such an identity was something they could not look down on casually.

"Zhang Gongzi is sitting here, our faces are bright, it's too late to welcome, how can we mind?"

"That's it, I wanted to keep you sitting here just now, but I was afraid that you would be busy!"

Zhang Nianjun snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this, these people in front of him had also nagged a lot of benefits on their bodies. But at that time, he was down, and the people at this table were all down, and now they saw that they were not driven out of Zhang's house as they expected, and they all surrounded him again.

With everyone's deliberate compliments, Zhang Nianjun ate this meal very comfortably, and the things that he was tired of eating on weekdays seemed to have added a little taste to him, plus everyone frequently toasted him, and soon Zhang Nianjun was drunk.

In fact, with the amount of alcohol he drinks, he won't get drunk so quickly, maybe it's just that everyone is drunk if he doesn't get drunk.

When he was drunk and staggered, he was helped down by his subordinates, but he didn't see it, Zhang Huai'an saw his appearance, and his brows were almost wrinkled.
