Chapter 39: The Secret Behind the Secret?
In the evening, Tang Sanqian personally came to pick us up and go to the dinner, a huge hall could accommodate a full thousand people, and there were three such venues in this hotel, and I once again felt the drunken gold fans of high society.
A person who looks like the head of the Tang family gave a speech on the ceremonial platform, basically saying something that makes everyone eat, drink, and have fun. Then there was a feast, and the dishes were extravagant to a level that I had never seen before. Some meats that can't be distinguished, some vegetables that are exaggerated, and some seafood that you have never seen before.
Few people can eat at peace at this kind of banquet, and after three rounds of drinking, they basically leave their seats and talk to others. As for why we don't use the Western buffet banquet, because our country's tradition likes this kind of round table banquet, and the people present are all people from families that have been inherited for thousands of years, and they pay more attention to these habits.
Lan Kexin seemed to be busy, and the position around him had never been empty, changing people one after another. The eldest lady of the Lan family and the first sister in the domestic entertainment industry, the blessing of dual identities is particularly hot in such a social venue.
After a while, she seemed to get tired of these unnutritious interactions, and took the time to say to me, "Have you eaten enough?" When we're full, let's go back to our room early, shall we? ”
"Why are you back in your room so early?" I subconsciously replied.
As a result, Lan Kexin's face turned red, and he didn't know where to go. "Uh, then I'll take you upstairs to the casino?"
I waved my hand, "Let's go, I know you don't want to stay longer." ”
Lan Kexin smiled gratefully, and then got up and left with me. At this moment, Xu Yifan came to us with a middle-aged man in his fifties. Thinking that it was another climbing, Lan Kexin sighed helplessly.
Xu Yifan said to us, "Kexin, this is the head of the Chen family in the cage, Chen Xin. When Chen Lao was young, he was known as 'Magician Picking Stars Chen' in the business world, and you must have heard of it. ”
Lan Kexin clasped his hands together and made a family gesture to Chen Xin, "Chen Lao's deeds when he was young have been longed for a long time, and several big businessmen who stood out in the chaos in Xunnan back then, their legends have accompanied the childhood of our generation of juniors. ”
Chen Lao returned the favor to Lan Kexin, and said, "It's a shame to say that in just twenty years, things are no longer human, and the glory of the past is not to be mentioned." ”
Xu Yifan continued, "Kexin, this time, Master Chen asked me to introduce you, because I have something to ask you." If it's convenient, let's find a place to talk slowly. ”
The Lan family is a Genting family rooted in the three southeastern provinces, so the local first-class family here must also have a good relationship with the Lan family. In that case, what should I ask Lan Kexin instead of going directly to the Lan family.
At this moment, Tang Sanqian also came over, "Sister Kexin, are you leaving?" ”
Xu Yifan was familiar with Tang Sanqian, so he explained his purpose, and Tang Sanqian understood and took the four of us to a secluded meeting room next door.
"That's right, Miss Lan." After Chen Lao sat down, he said with a sad face: "My second son got into trouble with the Loulan family in Wanhua City not long ago, and asked him only to say that he was fighting for a woman with an ordinary man who seemed to be unknown. As a result, the woman was fought over, and she was kicked in half. ”
While saying that, he still blushed, "I guess I won't be able to be a man for the rest of my life." It's not a problem, after all, he did it himself. But...... The Loulan family seems to be really angry, and even entrusted the 'Desperate Garden' of the Bupo family to target my Chen family, in just ten days, more than half of the industry under our name has declined, and the stock market of the entire Changtai Province has been unstable. I guess that the girl my second son molested that night should be the eldest lady of the Loulan family who is hiding in Wanhua City. So, can you please ask Miss Lan to help me be a middleman, let me meet the eldest lady of the Loulan family, explain the reason, and ask her to raise her noble hand. After all, my son has also received his due retribution. ”
At this point, my heart was absolutely turbulent.
I looked at Tang Sanqian on the side silently, she was blushing and biting her lip, and kept glaring at me, "What's the situation?" ’
I blinked and replied to her, 'You don't know the son of the Chen family, you don't know?' ’
Tang Sanqian's sons, how can I recognize them all. ’
Lan Kexin said, "Old Chen, you should go to your father and ask him to help you introduce the Loulan family." ”
Chen Xin shook his head and said with a wry smile, "How did I not know the relationship between the twelve of you." Because he knew that Miss Lan had recently developed in Wanhua City, he guessed that he should have some personal relationship with the young lady of the Lan family, so he had the cheekiness to trouble Miss Lan. ”
I could clearly see Lan Ke's embarrassed look. Chen Xin, as an elder, spoke with such a low attitude, and it would be a bit unkind if he still refused. If you don't want to break your family, it is indeed related to the rise and fall of the Chen family. But I also know that the relationship between Lan Kexin and Wuxiang is actually not very good, and this old man is also sick and rushed to the doctor.
The clever Lan Kexin seemed to suddenly understand something, turned his head to look at me, and then asked Chen Laodao, "Your second son-in-law, did you send someone to beat that man?" ”
Chen Lao was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's true, but fortunately, he only took revenge on that man, if it was the eldest lady of the Loulan family, then my Chen family would be ruined." But...... How did Miss Lan know? ”
Lan Kexin rubbed his forehead helplessly, I thought to myself that your son might as well take revenge on Tang Sanqian, although I am a little sorry for her when I think so......
"Actually, if you don't break your home, you have already left the mountain, and it makes no difference if you don't see Miss Wuxiang, Old Chen." Lan Kexin said, "But if Old Chen is still unwilling to give up, it is better to ask this Chen Gongzi next to me, he has a deep personal relationship with Miss Wuxiang." ”
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Chen Lao's heart was already cold, and the second half of the sentence rekindled his hope, and he looked at me with life-saving eyes and said, "I don't know if Chen Gongzi can be old and ......."
I waved my hand and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, Wuxiang has already gone to Beijing, and she won't be able to come back during this time." But if you're willing to wait, she should be back in Wanhua City for Christmas. ”
Old Chen's eyes dimmed again, and it was estimated that by Christmas, even if things had room to ease, the Chen family in the cage was estimated to have lost half of the country.
Looking at the backs of Xu Yifan and Chen Xin leaving, Tang Sanqian immediately puffed out, unable to hold it back any longer. "Hahaha...... Chen Mo, what you just said is true or false, and you are still willing to help him? ”
I sighed, "Of course it's true, this matter is a bit too much, and if you fight, you will ruin a family that has been inherited for so long." ”
Lan Kexin looked at us suspiciously, "What the hell is going on." ”
So Tang Sanqian and I told the truth of the matter.
Lan Kexin looked at Tang Sanqian in surprise, "You...... Did you really kick people to waste? ”
Tang Sanqian pursed his lips, "It was he who had bad intentions first." ”
……
On the way back to the suite, Lan Kexin kept looking like she wanted to say something, and finally entered the room, and she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Chen Mo, do you know how much it will cost us if the twelve of us ask not to break the family and deal with a family?"
I shook my head blankly, where do I understand the rules between the twelve families.
Lan Kexin sighed, "In short, it's a very, very big price. You also know that Gao Yuantai is a voting meeting, and once you owe the favors of the family, you have to unconditionally support their vote when you need it. It may not sound like a big deal, but often this vote will be related to the life and death of your own family, so ...... Wu Xiang is risking the prosperity of her own family to help you get ahead. ”
I don't know whether I'm happy or worried after listening to Lan Kexin's words, I'm happy that Wuxiang sees me so important, which makes my heart warm. What worries me is that I am afraid that because of this, it will really be like what Lan Kexin said, and the Loulan family will be at a disadvantage.
"I always feel ......" Lan Kexin opened her mouth, seeming to hesitate a little, "Wuxiang, she ...... you As you said, it's just a simple fight, and you haven't fallen into any disease, in fact, there is no need to owe such a big favor to the family. Does she take you too seriously? ”
I couldn't help frowning, a little unhappy in my heart, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Lan Kexin shook her head, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the brightly lit reading outside, and said thoughtfully, "I think...... Based on our Lan family's perception of you, it seems to be the same as what the Loulan family has done to you...... Not quite quite so. I always feel ...... There may be some secrets behind you that our Lan family doesn't know. Lan Kexin said as she turned to look at me.
"So," I said, "what secrets do you know about me, and you won't tell me?" ”
Lan Kexin stared into my eyes for a long time, and said quietly, "Chen Mo...... I'll tell you when I've figured something out. ”
