Wen Zhan got in the car and received a call from his cousin Wen Lei on the way home.
"What's going on today? Let Minister Wen call personally." Wen Zhan answered the phone and teased his cousin.
Wen Lei smiled and said straight to the point: "I really have something to ask you. Have you eaten? If not, come to my house and I'll ask my second son to come too."
Wen Zhan raised his eyebrows curiously when he heard this: "What is it, so grand?"
"You'll know when you get here."
Wen Zhan was still hungry, so someone happened to call for food, so he readily agreed, then turned the car and drove towards Wen Lei's house.
Due to his status, Wen Lei has a prominent family, but he is very low-key in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The family of three does not live in a villa or a luxurious flat, but in a commercial duplex building with a strong atmosphere of fireworks.
When Wen Zhan entered the house, he saw his cousin-in-law and the nanny working together in the kitchen. The smell of food filled the living room, which suddenly brought back certain images in his mind.
That little woman who doesn’t eat food or salt, is she ready to have dinner now?
As a couple, he has only eaten a bowl of noodles cooked by the woman so far.
"A-Zhan is here, sit down, the food is ready." The eldest sister-in-law of the Wen family is called Chen Yirou. She comes from a scholarly family. As her name suggests, she is dignified and gentle, which is in line with Wen Lei's calm and reserved temperament.
After Chen Yirou greeted Wen Zhan, she looked at her husband and asked, "Ask the second brother if he's here. Are you ready to start dinner?"
Wen Lei took out his cell phone and was about to make a call when the doorbell rang.
Wen Yan is here.
Wen Yan, who has always been arrogant and carefree, entered the room and saw Wen Zhan there, and instantly realized that tonight's meal was a bit unusual.
He approached Wen Zhan and asked in confusion: "Do you know why the boss asked us to come for dinner?"
Wen Zhan shook his head: "I don't know, you don't know either?"
"I just returned to China last night. What do you know..." He went skiing in Switzerland and was so happy. If the company hadn't been too busy at the end of the year, he really wanted to come back after the new year.
"Everyone, take a seat, dinner is ready!" Chen Yirou greeted the two brothers-in-law with a gentle smile.
Wen Lei has a son who is in primary school. A few people were about to sit down. Wen Yan didn't see his nephew and asked casually. Chen Yirou explained: "He is at my parents' place tonight."
As soon as he answered this, Wen Zhan noticed something was wrong and looked at his cousin and sister-in-law, "What is the meaning of this meal tonight? Why did you take away all the children?"
Wen Lei took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, turned around and said angrily: "It's not your business, otherwise who would worry about this."
"Because of me?" Wen Zhan was stunned when he heard this, his eyes moved among several people, and he quickly reacted and guessed, "Because of my divorce?"
"What if?"
Naturally, it is inconvenient for adults to talk about divorce in front of their children, so when Wen Lei and his wife decided to arrange this meal tonight, they settled their son down - sent directly to his grandparents' house after school.
"Sit down and chat while we eat." Wen Lei opened the wine and greeted his two cousins.
Wen Zhan knew the purpose of the meal, and his face became a little gloomy. After sitting down, he said bluntly: "If you are also here to persuade me to divorce, then don't waste your efforts."
The expression on Chen Yirou's face paused slightly, and she silently glanced at her husband.
Wen Lei smiled calmly, slowly poured wine for everyone, and said slowly and unhurriedly: "Whether you are separated or not, you always have to eat. This wine is good. When I visited Europe last year, the owner of the winery personally gave it to me. Taste it.”
Wen Lei is worthy of being an official. He speaks calmly, is full of aura, and has a lot of skills.
Wen Yan knew how to cooperate. He picked up the wine glass, sniffed it, and nodded: "Not bad! Third brother, come and have a drink."
Wen Zhan was already in a bad mood, so he had someone to drink with him, so he naturally accepted everyone who came, so the two brothers had sex first.
Wen Lei frowned, "You guys are just wasting my good wine."
Wen Zhan ignored him, picked up the wine bottle in front of Wen Lei, and filled it up on his own.
Wen Lei wanted this effect, so he didn't stop him. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating, unknowingly raising the atmosphere.
"Third son, I remember... you used to like that girl from the Lu family, so much that you couldn't let her go even after she married Gu Xinchen - when did you start to fall in love with each other, and then found out that Wan Qing was better? ?" Wen Lei took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and began his lobbying journey without leaving a trace.
Wen Zhan didn't respond, but drank another glass of wine silently.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was very quiet, no one spoke, obviously waiting for him to clear his thoughts.
After a moment, Wen Zhan's lowered eyebrows slowly raised, and after he breathed a long sigh of relief, he said: "I can't talk about love or not. There is just such a person who has been with me day and night for more than two years, and I have become accustomed to life. We have her in our family. Besides, we have a son and a daughter who are only a few months old. We cannot let them lose their mother's love since they were young."
Before the words were settled, Wen Yan exposed it rudely, "Okay! How long has it been since you said it? You still mean what you say."
After speaking, he looked at Wen Lei and his wife and continued to make trouble.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you must have no idea how much this guy has done secretly to save his family."
Chen Yirou became interested and asked curiously: "How many have you done?"
"Last Laba Festival, the third child forced us all to improve other people's performance. You must still remember it. Forget it, now the third child is even more self-serving and mobilizing the whole company to improve other people's performance."
These words made Wen Lei curious, and he asked with a little confusion: "Fake public benefit for personal gain? This is not like the third son's style."
Wen Zhan couldn't stand it, and said to Wen Yan impatiently: "Drink your wine, you talk so much!"
He refused to let him say it, but Wen Yan insisted on saying it. He waved his hand away and continued to talk loudly: "Mu Wanqing's public account has made a lot of noise. It's the end of the year. There are a lot of software ads, such as skin care products, shampoos, etc." Hair dye, hand cream, and all kinds of small daily necessities are all quite petty bourgeois brands. Every time a new product is released on the official account, this guy will ask his secretary to arrange for the company to purchase it in large quantities."
"It's the end of the year. Isn't it natural for the company to give some benefits to employees who have worked hard for a year? Those brands have a good reputation and it's a win-win situation. What's the problem?" Wen Zhan retorted dissatisfied.
"I didn't say there was a problem. I meant that in order to save my family, you humbled yourself to this extent and silently acted as a financial sponsor behind your back. Secretary Li said that you didn't want people to know yet, so the orders were scattered and many people were mobilized. Go and place a small batch order." Wen Yan is indeed a master of troublemaking. He doesn't care about his cousin's face at all and keeps it clean.
Wen Lei and his wife were shocked. They looked at Wen Zhan with unfamiliar eyes, as if they didn't believe that this kind of thing was done by the third young master of the Wen family.
Wen Zhan was too lazy to argue and just drank.
Wen Yan was so excited that he couldn't stop talking: "If we just give employees year-end benefits, it will support Mu Wanqing's career, which is good for killing two birds with one stone - but after the employee benefits are paid out, guess what?"
Chen Yirou knew how to compliment and asked, "What's going on?"
