Chapter 243: From Today Onwards, You Will Be the Eldest Brother
Jin Jiang Hotel is the most well-known time-honored hotel in Shanghai, this old-fashioned hotel built in the thirties combines Chinese and Western style, after the liberation of the public-private partnership, and after the reform and opening up.
Even though new high-end hotels abound in Shanghai, in the eyes of the older generations in Shanghai, Jin Jiang Hotel is still an outstanding representative of Shanghai's traditional culture.
The Jin Jiang Hotel, which keeps pace with the times, has undergone a re-interior renovation in the past few years, adding many modern features on the basis of basically maintaining the original traditional style decoration. In particular, many modern electronic gadgets have entered this famous hotel that was once famous for its luxury atmosphere on the beach, and it is excellent to blend tradition and modernity.
As Yang Xiaoxiao's personal assistant, Xiao Wei was carefully sitting in the corner of the dining table in a luxurious private room of the Jin Jiang Hotel.
Xiaowei, who has traveled to many places across the country with Yang Xiaoxiao and has seen too many scenes, is also dazzled by the too luxurious scene in front of her at the moment.
In the empty private room is a suite layout, and on the large round table that can accommodate more than 20 people, there are only Chen Youwei, Ji Deshan, Yang Xiaoxiao, and Xiaowei at this moment. As for the little brother who was following Ji Deshan, who was disrespectful, he was naturally driven away.
As a veteran of the capital, Ji Deshan couldn't be more affectionate to a rising star like Chen Youwei. In the eyes of these gentlemen, family background is of course very important, but if the other party can mix up with the wind and water just by personal strength, the weight will naturally be even more different.
In Huhai, he unexpectedly bumped into Ji Deshan, an old boy with a good reputation in the Beijing circle, Chen Youwei had to give the other party some face no matter how famous he maintained in the capital. It's nothing else, if you want to mix in the circle, you have to abide by some conventions.
The relationship between the Chen family and the Ji family, which has no obvious interests, is not bad, especially for Chen Youwei, his relationship with the Ji family made him enter the eyes of the old man of the Ji family early.
At the beginning, Chen Youwei's first work in Shuiyang County was the place where the old man of the Ji family was born and participated in the revolution.
Although Ji's hometown is not the Xiaohe Township that Chen Youwei is directly responsible for, because of the relationship between Xiaohe Township, Ji Jiaji, the hometown of Mr. Ji, has also benefited a lot, and it has undergone earth-shaking new changes in recent years.
Although the old man of the Ji family has not returned to his hometown for decades, the living standard of his hometown has improved significantly in recent years, and the children of the Ji family continue to visit Beijing. This bit by bit about Shuiyang and even Chen Youwei was naturally clearly seen by Old Man Ji, who was concerned about the situation in his hometown.
In fact, if it is really about qualifications, Ji Lao is definitely far inferior to the old man of the Chen family, but some things are so emotional.
After the founding major general Ji Lao was founded, especially in the special years, the legend made him rise to the top, although he left the highest political stage in just a few years, but the connections accumulated since then have become a powerful capital for the rapid rise of the Ji family in the following ten years.
In comparison, Chen Wuxi, as an old qualification of the Four Front Army, was also reused by Taizu at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even became the vice premier of the Government Council for a time. The special years of standing aside still did not allow the Chen family to establish too many relationships, and the Chen family really began to build their own faction, that is, the period when Chen Wuxian returned to work.
In another life, because Chen Wuzhi was old and had accumulated a lot of work, he died prematurely, and a group of second-generation stalwarts such as Uncle Chen Bonian and Zhuo Ran have not yet fully taken over. It was at this time of disappointment that the Chen family obviously made major omissions, and finally fell apart under the strong suppression of other factions.
The Ji family is a completely different look, and the old man of the Ji family is enviable to live to be more than a hundred years old before he dies.
The Ji family, which is intricately intertwined and powerful, has developed its own power step by step, adhering to the political concept of neither radical nor slightly conservative, and the Ji family has always occupied a firm seat in the political map of China for more than 30 years.
The Ji family, which can be described as an evergreen, naturally cannot be underestimated in Chen Youwei's eyes, and must be given enough attention.
Chen Youwei and Ji Deshan's extraordinary temperament made Xiao Wei, who was still a big grin just now, feel restrained, although the two men who seemed to have gentle and smiling faces in front of them have always talked and laughed with each other, but Xiao Wei, who is delicate, can still feel the indescribable unease between the two.
In fact, Xiaowei's feelings are very sensitive, and Ji Deshan really has a headache for meeting the Chen family, the most outstanding third generation, in this kind of place.
As an old qualified gentleman in the capital, he is much more attentive than ordinary people think.
If it weren't for the earthquake that occurred in the capital last year, Ji Deshan's fox friends and dogs were affected by their families and would never have been more beautiful. I'm afraid that Ji Deshan, who has no qualitative character, is still continuing to mess around.
Zhou Dongfang, who tried to plot against the Chen family, was Ji Deshan's playmate who often messed with him.
Unlike Xue Jiang, who was frightened by the earthquake in the capital, Ji Deshan was purely forced by the old people in his family to leave the capital and enter the power system below. It is also from this time that there is one less young man Ji Lao San in the capital, and a reborn Ji Deshan is about to appear in the political circle of China.
In Ji Deshan's view, playing with women is not too embarrassing, even if it is broken by someone, it doesn't matter, everyone has been mixed in that circle, and there is no need to panic about these things.
What really makes Ji Deshan feel a little embarrassed is that the girl he likes at a glance is obviously already Chen Youwei's little lover, and Ji Deshan, who has always been arrogant, really feels that he is not very authentic in doing this by himself.
What Ji Deshan's thoughts are, Chen Youwei doesn't know very well, after all, he has little contact with this son-in-law who once dominated the capital. However, Chen Youwei, who has a very thorough understanding of the psychology of these gentlemen, can still somewhat deduce the other party's thoughts.
"Xiaoxiao, let me introduce you to you, this is the third brother of Ji Deshan!"
Chen Youwei smiled and held Yang Xiaoxiao's fair and delicate softness, and said with a smile: "Third Brother Ji is the most personable old brother in our capital, in the past two years, Third Brother Ji has been self-cultivation, you must know that we used to call Third Brother Ji 'Timely Rain Song Jiang'!" ”
"Hello Third Brother Ji!" Yang Xiaoxiao tried hard to say hello with a not-so-skilled Beijing film.
Ji Deshan waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't be, when Brother Youwei said this, I'm really fluttering!" ”
Chen Youwei picked up the Moutai in his hand and filled the cup in front of Ji Deshan, and said with a smile: "Come, third brother, cheers for us to be able to meet in this place in Huhai!" ”
Seeing the capable Chen family disciple in front of him, who didn't mention the somewhat embarrassing scene just now, Ji Deshan let go of his hesitation, took a drink from the wine glass and said with a smile: "I have long heard that you have an amazing amount of alcohol, and today our brothers and sons have a good drink!" ”
"It's good to say, I've been friends with the third brother for a long time, but I don't have the opportunity to listen to the third brother's teachings." Chen Youwei picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses again and smiled: "Today, our brothers and sons will not return home if they are not drunk!" ”
Ji Deshan, who values face the most, has long forgotten the unpleasant encounter just now, and after a few cups of continuous contact with Chen Youwei, his face was full of red light. For a son-in-law like Ji Deshan, who has no city government in the later generations, the current Chen Youwei is completely effortless to deal with.
Not to mention Yang Xiaoxiao, who already has a preliminary understanding of Chen Youwei, even Xiaowei next to him is also dumbfounded by Chen Youwei's exquisite scene.
A bottle of Moutai was quickly reimbursed in Chen Youwei's toast to Ji Deshan, and Ji Deshan, who was very interested, took the initiative to ask for another bottle, but he completely forgot that his amount of wine was far less good than he imagined.
After a few more cups, Ji Deshan, whose face was flushed, couldn't hold on, so Chen Youwei slowed down his pace and gave the other party a chance to breathe.
"Brother Youwei, I'm sorry today! Brother, I didn't figure out the situation and bothered my younger siblings! Ji Deshan was drunk, and after pouring a big sip of hot tea, he said to Chen Youwei with his round red eyes full of apologies.
"The third brother is polite, it's just a misunderstanding, and if it weren't for the small reason, I'm afraid our brothers wouldn't have the opportunity to sit together and drink together!" Chen Youwei handed over a cigarette, leaned over to help the other party light the fire, and said with a smile.
"Well said!" Ji Deshan, who was drunk, was full of pride, slapped the table and shouted: "Brother Youwei is really the most righteous, I just like to deal with people like you!" ”
"That's natural, my third brother and I also hit it off at first sight, it seems that we are all fate!" Chen Youwei motioned for Yang Xiaoxiao to toast Ji Deshan.
"Third Brother Ji, I toast you, and my little sister will want you to pay more attention in the future!" Yang Xiaoxiao is naturally familiar with such occasions, and she is more comfortable in front of Ailang.
"Okay, I have to drink this wine!"
Ji Deshan, who had rested for a while, relieved himself, stood up and took the wine glass with both hands, looked at Chen Youwei and said with a smile: "From now on, Xiaoxiao is my Ji Deshan's sister-in-law, if you bully my sister-in-law, beware of me, I will ask the teacher to ask for guilt!" ”
Chen Youwei was overjoyed, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Then I want to toast my eldest brother, if there is anything in the future, the third brother can't stand by and watch!" ”
Ji Deshan's bright red eyes swept over Chen Youwei, who was full of smiles, and he naturally knew what the other party said. The thought of being able to establish some kind of friendship with the most outstanding son of the Chen family seemed to be a good choice.
"No problem! The little things in the future will be my business! Now you can rest assured, brother! Ji Deshan said with a pun on the big smile and drank bitterly.
The other party's such a good way made Chen Youwei very happy, and being able to accidentally meet the Ji family, the only third member of the Ji family who has gone far on the road to politics, in Huhai, made Chen Youwei feel a sense of surprise. Originally, he was still thinking about slowly setting up a relationship with the other party, but he never thought that this shrewd Ji Laosan would decisively accept the olive branch he took the initiative to hand, and the result was naturally an accident for Chen Youwei to fight mosquitoes.
