Chapter 264: Family Banquet
The honeymoon holiday passed quickly, and Ping An returned to work at Fang's Group.
Although she decided to resign from the position of general manager of Fang's Group, it was really difficult to talk to Fang Lili, she asked to work in the company at the beginning, and even worked hard for a long, long time in order to get the position of general manager, but now she has to say that it is not very good.
At least she had to wait until the Times Square project was over, which was the only one she was solely responsible for.
Times Square is a mall near Phoenix, which is nearing completion, and she wants to see Times Square officially completed and successfully opened.
Ping An was still immersed in the lightness and pleasure of the honeymoon journey, the busy work had already begun, probably there was no burnout period, and she felt a little struggling when she didn't recover for a while.
This situation lasted until the Spring Festival holiday, and the tense nerves were finally relaxed.
This year's Spring Festival is not the same as in previous years, although she used to have entertainment, but most of them just need to let the secretary give gifts to the past, she can stay at home for a few days, enjoy a good leisure time, but, this year she needs to deal with too many people, many relatives of the Yan family she has not yet known, some have seen at the wedding, but basically have forgotten what the relationship is.
Even if the relationship between Yan Su and Wen Yue'e is tense, the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve cannot be absent, this is the rule of the Yan family, but every year Old Man Yan will ask his former daughter-in-law to participate, but Yu Suhe has stayed in the United States and did not attend.
This year, the old man will not allow her to be absent again.
In the hearts of the two old men of the Yan family, Yu Suhe will never be an outsider.
Wen Yue'e was originally happily attending the family reunion banquet, but when she saw Yu Suhe sitting next to Mrs. Yan, her whole face changed several colors like a palette.
I almost screamed, how could this be here?
But she can't do that, she has to maintain her demeanor tonight, the entire Yan family is here, if she loses her mind a little, she will definitely make headlines tomorrow and become a ridiculous news subject.
Even if her heart is blocked, she has to endure the last laugh.
According to the seat of seniority, Yan Leihai is sitting under the old lady Yan, but there is already the author Yu Suhe, obviously Yu Suhe is more important than his son in the minds of the two old people.
Yan Leihai could only sit down opposite Suhe.
Yan Su sat down next to Su He, and didn't look at Wen Yue'e opposite.
"The people are all here, I don't talk too much nonsense, I hope everyone will have a smooth and smooth new year, and I hope that the company will continue to develop steadily." Old man Yan is not a person who likes to talk a lot, so he said a few words in the opening remarks and let the banquet begin.
The Yan family, who were sitting at other tables, kept their eyes on the situation on their side, for fear of missing any important gossip information.
Ping An is the first time to participate in the banquet of the Yan family, although she is already a member of the Yan family, but in fact, there are many people who do not know, not to mention that she does not work in Yan's company, and she usually has little contact.
Yan Xin was a little quiet today, not like the one she had seen before, deliberately currying favor with Su He, probably because Wen Yue'e was present, and she didn't want to challenge her mother's nerves here.
However, Yan Xin is quite enthusiastic about Ping An.
In the past few days, she has called Ping An more than once, wanting to ask Ping An to go shopping together, and even proposed to visit Ping An and Yan Su's residence.
Ping An is absolutely sure that if she shows three points of enthusiasm for Yan Xin, Yan Xin will definitely climb the pole with the trend, and maybe even ask to live in their villa.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any programs with your eldest brother these days? Why don't you go to the hot spring village together? Yan Xin looked at Ping An and showed a kind and flattering smile.
"No, we have something else." Ping An shook his head with a smile and said not too enthusiastically.
Yan Xin sighed in disappointment, but quickly smiled, "By the way, I'm going to work in the company this year, if only my sister-in-law was also in Yan's family, we can be colleagues." β
Ping An was a little surprised, Yan Xin had mentioned more than once that he wanted to work in Yan's Group, but he was rejected by Yan Su, how could Yan Xin still work in the company? Although she didn't know much about Yan Xin's abilities, she felt that it was not a good idea to let Yan Xin work for Yan's.
"Really? Congratulations, you'll be a good helper. Ping An glanced at Wen Yue'e and said with a smile.
Wen Yue'e said coldly, "Of course, Xiao Xin is more capable than some people, but she doesn't have a chance, if you don't work hard this time, you may not be able to work in the company." β
If it weren't for Yan Leihai, Yan Su would still not agree to Yan Xin's work in the company.
Yan Leihai is still a shareholder, although his shares are less than Yan Su, but he is not a minority shareholder, not to mention that he used to be the president of Yan's.
Yan Xin took a sip of red wine, looked at Ping An and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is the general manager of the Fang family, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future, or...... Competitive opportunity. β
Ping An raised her eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding what she meant.
"Now is not the time to talk about work!" Old Man Yan spoke lightly, and although he was already old, his still sharp eyes swept over Wen Yue'e mother and daughter.
The atmosphere was a little stiff, and Old Man Yan was always very indifferent to Wen Yue'e mother and daughter, and rarely had an amiable smile.
Yu Suhe showed a gentle and dignified smile, trying to ease the atmosphere, "I haven't had a Spring Festival in China for many years, and the atmosphere of the New Year is very good." β
"There will be fireworks by the river for a while, and we can go and enjoy it." Old Lady Yan said with a smile.
Yan Su said seriously, "You have to go and see it, our company has sponsored a lot, and if you don't look at it, you will lose money." β
Ping An couldn't help but chuckle, and even Yu Suhe and Old Lady Yan were amused.
"Stinky boy, why didn't I know you were such a philistine?" Old Man Yan asked angrily.
"Grandpa, you don't know enough about me, I'm a businessman." Yan Su waved his hand and said seriously.
Except for Wen Yue'e's mother and daughter, everyone's mood relaxed, talking and laughing together.
After the banquet ended, many people moved around, and these Yan family, who were nominally relatives, usually had little contact with each other, and took advantage of this opportunity to contact many people.
Of course, most of them are just greeting each other for the sake of interests.
Yan Su and Yu Suhe were talking about her going back to the United States in a few days, and Ping An was talking to Mrs. Yan, but Yan Xin suddenly ran over and talked to Ping An very enthusiastically.
"By the way, sister-in-law, how did you and my brother meet? You must have been a student at the time, right? How did my brother chase you? Yan Xin was like an ignorant and innocent little girl, asking for peace with a cute smile on her face.
If the other party is not Yan Xin or Wen Yue'e's daughter, maybe Ping An can still talk to her.
"That's my secret with Yan Su." Ping An said with a smile, not salty and indifferent.
"Don't be so stingy, my eldest brother never takes the initiative to chase girls, those women will take the initiative to go to his bed, you are an exception, he married you, which means that you are different." The cute and sweet smile on Yan Xin's face remained unchanged, but a grim light slipped under her eyes.
Ping An shrugged, "That's right, I'm an exception, the only exception to Yan Su!" β
Yan Xin's face sank slightly, but only for a moment, and he quickly smiled again, and asked jokingly, "You're not afraid of my brother...... As before, there was an affair with those celebrity models or something? β
"You don't know Yan Su too well." Ping An didn't feel angry at all, just glanced at Yan Xin lightly, it was too naΓ―ve to want to use this method to provoke between her and Yan Su.
"Who says I don't know my brother?" Yan Xin glared at Ping'an and shouted unhappily.
Ping An smiled, noncommittal.
This smile looked in Yan Xin's eyes, but it seemed to be sarcastic that she was not qualified to understand Yan Su, and the expression on her face became very ugly.
"Anything else?" Ping An wanted to go to Yan Su, and didn't want to continue talking to Yan Xin.
Yan Xin looked around and saw that no one noticed this, so she whispered in English in her ear, "Don't you feel it?" I really hate you, you shitty bitch! β
Ping An couldn't help but chuckle, finally couldn't pretend to be able to do it? A shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her eyes to look at Yan Xin, "It turns out that we all feel the same, we don't have to play the role of a sister-in-law who gets along happily, oh, we can't be called sisters-in-law, you and your mother are not recognized at all." β
"You ......" Yan Xin's anger burned up all of a sudden, and she almost couldn't help but scold, her eyes saw Yan Su and Yu Suhe walking towards them, she could only hold back, "You don't want to get everything in our family." β
Ping An gave her a ridiculous look, "Is that yours?" β
Yan Xin gritted her teeth, it's not hers, in everyone's hearts, everything in the Yan family, including the company, is Yansu, but she will definitely not let herself get nothing.
She won't be the failed Wen Yue'e!
"Peace, what are you talking about?" Yan Su had already walked up to them and looked at Yan Xin vigilantly.
"Oh, just small talk." Ping An said with a smile.
Yan Su said, "Let's go back first, grandpa and grandma went to watch the fireworks." β
"Let's go and see it too, after all......" Ping An put his arm around Yan Su, "if you don't look at it, you'll lose money." β
"That's right!" Yan Su smiled and nodded, the two ignored Yan Xin and left hand in hand.
Yan Xin's eyes were red with anger, but he had no position to stop them from leaving, or say anything to them.
Wen Yue'e came behind her and looked coldly at Ping'an and Yan Su's backs, "Everything about the Yan family will be theirs, if you still want to continue playing." β
"Mom, if you can't get it, I will definitely get it, you wait and see!" Yan Xin turned around and said coldly to Wen Yue.
"Really? I'll see! Wen Yue'e retorted sharply, "I thought you had already sided with Yan Su, Xiao Xin, you look like a good sister who loves her brother, and you are jealous that Fang Ping'an can monopolize Yan Su." β
"I'm a good sister!" Yan Xin's face sank, glared at Wen Yue'e, and turned to walk away.
