In the evening, Chen Ye came to the Chen family compound and had dinner with Chen Xiurui.
Chen Xiurui knew that Chen Ye was coming, so he specially asked his personal chef to cook a few dishes. There were no high-end ingredients such as abalone, bird's nest, and top-quality Australian dragons. They were very ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they were full of color, flavor, and flavor.
The wine was two bottles of special Moutai that were older than Chen Ye. The packaging was in tatters. One bottle of wine can buy an apartment in a third-tier city.
At eight o'clock, the sky had completely darkened. Chen Xiurui's face turned red from drinking, and he waved his hands and said:
"Xiaoye, grandpa can't drink anymore. That's all the wine for today. Let's go to the study to drink some tea and sober up."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Chen Ye nodded, then stood up and came to the study with Chen Xiurui.
The secretary followed the two into the room, boiled water and made tea. It was not the fancy Kung Fu tea, but the kind of white porcelain cup used for meetings. He threw the tea leaves in and poured water.
The price of one tael of tea is more expensive than gold. Drinking it like this is a waste of money, but Chen Xiurui doesn't care.
He has little particularity in life, and still retains the roughness of a soldier in his bones. The tea and wine were all prepared by his secretary.
"Xiaoye, if you really want to be with the girl from the Xiao family, then grandpa should go to the Zhao family and discuss with them to see if the engagement between the girl from the Xiao family and Zhao Tianming can be terminated."
Chen Xiurui drank a few sips of tea, sobered up a bit, and suddenly spoke.
"Grandpa, no need."
Chen Ye was a little stunned, but then shook his head and rejected Chen Xiurui's kindness.
Chen Xiurui thought Chen Ye was worried, so he continued:
"Xiaoye, don't worry. The old Chen family has been dedicated to protecting the country since the Anti-Japanese War. They have worked hard for generations and have never made any excessive demands. I think the Zhao family should give me and the Chen family a little favor. And as long as the Zhao family changes his mind, the Xiao family will probably not embarrass you. After all, my grandson is still worthy of the Xiao family girl!"
"Grandpa, thank you for your kindness. It doesn't have to be like this. It's not that I'm worried, but my relationship with Xiao Ziyu is not what you think. Our relationship is more complicated, and I will handle this matter well."
Chen Ye smiled bitterly.
In a sense, he and Xiao Ziyu are not lovers, but only confidantees.
Moreover, even if he really wants to get together with Xiao Ziyu, he will not rely on the Chen family's reputation, and he does not want Chen Xiurui and the Chen family to be implicated.
"Since you said no, I won't go. When you need it, just tell grandpa."
After hearing Chen Ye's words, Chen Xiurui did not ask the question, but smiled.
"Um."
Chen Ye nodded, feeling warm in his heart.
From the first day he met the old man, the old man showed his love and care for him.
"Ding--"
As Chen Ye finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
"Take it, it's okay."
Chen Xiurui smiled when he heard the ringtone of his cell phone.
Chen Ye took out his cell phone and found that the call was from Wang Long. He did not answer the call in front of Chen Xiurui, but directly refused the call.
Chen Xiurui was stunned:
"Why didn't you answer?"
"Grandpa, it's Wang Long's call. They asked me to have dinner tonight. I said I would eat with you first and then go find them."
Chen Ye explained.
Wang Long contacted Chen Ye in the afternoon, saying that he was the descendant of Chen Qingdi's brothers and wanted to get together with Chen Ye, not only to recognize Chen Ye as the new leader, but also to celebrate Chen Ye's achievements in Eastern Four Kingdoms Medicine. In the exchange competition, he defeated Ninja Nation's medical sage Ikawa Fujitsu and trampled the Ninja Nation's medical community under his feet!
After receiving the call, Chen Ye thought for a moment and agreed to get together with Wang Long and others.
He did this not only not to extinguish the enthusiasm of Wang Long and others, but also to help the Chen family indirectly maintain Chen Qingdi's connections back then.
In addition, he also wanted Wang Long and others to find a way to help him find spiritual objects to restore and improve his strength.
Because, there are some things in this world that are priceless but cannot be bought with money. They require the replacement of identity, status and even resources.
This is true from the courtyards near the red-walled courtyard of Yanjing to the night services provided by top female stars.
Top bosses may be able to get top female celebrities to kneel down and beg for services without spending any money, but ordinary people without status will find it difficult to enjoy them even if they become rich by buying lottery tickets and spending a thousand or more tabulu. services.
Because the former can bring them resources, and the resources can be turned into wealth and protection, while the latter can be obtained by cutting leeks in a live broadcast.
The same goes for buying spiritual items.
Spiritual objects are treasures coveted by warriors. They are rare in the world. It is almost impossible to buy them from the medicinal materials market.
At the beginning, the centuries-old Ganoderma lucidum that Chen Ye took in Heavenly Prison was not bought now, but was stored by Huangfu.
She originally thought of using it to break through to the divine realm, but later she learned that Chen Ye needed it, so she gave it to Chen Ye.
Now, Chen Ye wants to use the network of Wang Long and others to see who has stored spiritual objects in their homes, and then use resources to replace them.
At the same time, he also used the network of Wang Long and others to make people pay attention to the news of spiritual creatures at any time.
After all, in many cases, the government has more and more accurate information than the private sector.
Nine p.m.
Chen Ye came to the Chang'an Hotel where Wang Long and others invited him to a party.
Although Yanjing, the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom, now has a plethora of five-star hotels, Chang'an Hotel still has a very special status.
The famous Chang'an Club is located in Chang'an Hotel.
After Chen Ye arrived at Chang'an Hotel, he was led and accompanied by the waiter to a private room called Yipin.
The private room covers a large area and is divided into a seating area and a dining area.
In the dining area, more than a dozen powerful people, including Wang Long, had already taken their seats, and the main seat facing the box door remained.
There were eight cold dishes on the table, but Wang Long and the others did not move their chopsticks, waiting for Chen Ye to arrive before eating.
"Boss!"
Seeing Chen Ye entering, Wang Long and others immediately stood up and said hello in unison.
"Why haven't you eaten yet?"
Chen Ye was slightly startled when he saw that the cold dishes on the table were not moved.
"Boss, all the brothers and sisters want to wait until you arrive before using chopsticks. We gay men all had something to eat in the afternoon, and Xianzhi and the other three have been losing weight recently and will not eat in the evening."
Wang Long explained with a smile, then introduced Chen Ye to the main seat and introduced to Chen Ye the identities of everyone tonight.
Among the twelve people, in addition to the five people Chen Ye met at the Qingyun Club that night, including Wang Long, Ma Hu, Yao Li, Niu Tao, and Liu Neng, there were seven others.
Those seven people, like Wang Long and others, are all descendants of the original core members of the Qingyun Club.
Among them, Lin Xianzhi is the most eye-catching.
She has an alluring face and a sexy and tall figure. She is fashionably dressed and has an outstanding temperament. She is the kind of beauty who has a 100% chance of turning heads when walking on the street.
She is the little princess of the Lin family. She currently works at Xia Kingdom TV Station. She was once rated as the most beautiful host in Xia Kingdom and one of the four golden flowers in the capital.
From the moment Chen Ye entered the door, Lin Xianzhi never took his eyes away from Chen Ye.
She had heard about Chen Ye's deeds a long time ago and had always wanted to get to know Chen Ye.
Last time, Wang Long and others had a gathering at the Qinglong Club. Lin Xianzhi was originally going to go, but later went on a temporary business trip to participate in a very important event and missed it.
"Boss is here. The dinner party has officially begun. Let us all toast to the boss and celebrate the boss's promotion of our country's prestige in the country of Ninja!"
After Wang Long introduced everyone, he made a suggestion.
As Wang Long finished speaking, everyone, including Lin Xianzhi, stood up and picked up their wine glasses.
"Brothers and sisters, you're welcome. Tonight is just an ordinary party, without so many gimmicks and details."
Chen Ye also stood up and said with a wry smile.
Lin Xianzhi said with a bright smile:
"Boss, Brother Wang Long told us before that you were approachable, but we didn't believe it. We all thought that a great hero like you must be cold and difficult to approach. Now it seems that you are indeed approachable."
"Xianzhi, that's because you don't understand the boss. Except for the enemy, the boss is very polite to everyone and doesn't put on any airs."
Wang Long explained with a smile.
Then, everyone raised their necks and drank it all.
The dinner officially began.
Wang Long suggested that after three drinks, everyone took turns to toast Chen Ye.
Among them, when it was Lin Xianzhi's turn, her phone vibrated. The caller ID was from Xiao Zhijie, the eldest son of the Xiao family.
She directly refused to answer the call, stood up and walked to Chen Ye's side, saying:
"Boss, let me introduce myself again. My name is Lin Xianzhi, and I am currently working as a host at Xiaguo TV. Can I invite you to our program in the future and give you an exclusive interview?"
"Forget about being in public, we can get together more if you have nothing to do."
Chen Ye politely refused.
Although he rarely interacts with the media in this world, he is often interviewed by the media in that parallel world.
The media is an amplifier of personal reputation. It can either push a person to the altar or plunge a person into hell.
"Okay, boss."
Faced with Chen Ye's rejection, Lin Xianzhi did not show any displeasure, and even the smile on his face never diminished.
Because she proposed to do an exclusive interview with Chen Ye, not to increase her popularity and work performance, but to use it as an opportunity to contact Chen Ye, so as to further understand and make friends with Chen Ye.
And a private gathering is far more real than an interview on a show.
After the toast, Lin Xianzhi returned to her seat and found another missed call on her phone, all from Xiao Zhijie.
For this reason, Lin Xianzhi picked up her phone and sent a message back to Xiao Zhijie:
"Sorry, President Xiao, I have important guests here and I can't go upstairs to participate in club activities for the time being."
After sending the message, Lin Xianzhi directly turned her phone into airplane mode to prevent further harassment by Xiao Zhijie.
Because she knew very well that Xiao Zhijie, who is the executive vice president of Chang'an Club, organized a cocktail party in the lounge of Chang'an Hotel tonight to entertain several North American business leaders, one of whom was ranked among the top 500 companies in the world. The top ten business giants.
However--
On this special night today, neither the North American business giant nor Xiao Zhijie, the eldest son of the Xiao family, was even one percent more attractive to Lin Xianzhi than Chen Ye!
Sure enough, Xiao Zhijie, who was in the lounge, saw Lin Xianzhi's reply and called Lin Xianzhi's number again, but the call failed.
This made Xiao Zhijie a little annoyed!
"He Dong, go downstairs to the first-class box and tell Lin Xianzhi that if she does not appear in front of me within five minutes, she will be removed from the Chang'an Club and will also lose her job as the gold medal host of Xiaguo TV!"
The angry Xiao Zhijie gave instructions to his brother-in-law He Dong.
He knew that Lin Xianzhi was having dinner with Wang Long and others in the first-class box tonight, but he didn't know that Chen Ye was also among them.
It’s not that enemies don’t get together!
