In Shenghe Square, the moment Yang Ji pulled the door of the car, Chen Yuan passed the corner of the long street inadvertently, and there was a car parked there.

The window of the driver's seat was lowered, and the woman was wearing sunglasses, watching this side.

Chen Yuan took out the velvet box from the trunk and walked over, "Why don't you go upstairs?"

Wan Xixi got out of the car, "Now that I'm on the cusp of the storm, the outside world is talking about the Chen family's cancellation of the engagement, so I don't have the face to show up." She took off her sunglasses, "Chen Yuan, I want a complete reason to convince me."

He stopped in front of her, "The marriage contract must be dealt with first. If the wind is released, the Chen family will not allow it, and the Wan family will also stop it."

Wan Xixi took a deep breath, "I am the woman, even if you start the scene, at least give me a chance to clarify and agree at the same time. The so-called statement of a peaceful breakup is completely like the Chen family's unilateral divorce. Now rumors are raging. The stock of the group continued to plummet, my father couldn't contact you, he could only ask Uncle Chen for an explanation, the whole family is in chaos, have you thought about my embarrassing situation?"

Chen Yuan called up the call records, Chen Zheng missed 4 calls, and Secretary Wan Youliang missed 11 calls.

The two sons of the Chen family are well-known in the upper class circle for their steady temperament, and they don't have the common problem of frizzy children from rich families.The tiger father has no dogs and sons. It can be seen that Chen Zheng is quite calm when he is in trouble, and he bombed 4 times in one breath, how furious he is.

He turned off the phone directly, "I'm trying to control Huayan's market, you tell Uncle Wan, the trend will definitely pick up tomorrow."

"Why so suddenly?" Wan Xixi didn't understand, "You are a very mature and rational man, this is not like your behavior."

Chen Yuan remained silent, and looked away, "It's meaningless to spend it, and it will delay you."

She didn't believe it, "Maybe you think I don't understand you, but in fact, Chen Yuan, you are not good at deceiving people."

He stared at Wan Xixi.

She smiled wryly, "You are not a bad man to the bone, so you can't cheat, your eyes have the last guilt and compassion."

Chen Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Really."

Wan Xixi was very melancholy, "My mother said before she was alive that when a man loves you, he always considers your feelings. If a man doesn't love you, he only cares about his own interests. There are no men who don't understand style, only those who are not blessed to get that love." woman."

Chen Yuan leaned on the front of the car and handed her the box, but Wan Xixi didn't pick it up, "You gave me lipstick and a necklace. Behind every gift is a shackle."

His hand is still in the air, "This time there is no transaction involved, just make up for it."

Wanxi looked at him for a while, then slowly stretched out her hand. Inside the box was a beautiful emerald bracelet.

Like a needle piercing her heart, she chuckled, "What kind of compensation? It's obviously because I thanked me for my leadership, made things difficult for Ni Ying in the drama theater, and vented my anger for Shen Zhen, right?"

Chen Yuan's brows were smiling, and they bloomed in an instant, and the smile magnified to the extreme, "I'm sorry."

He is seldom so willful, his demeanor is always restrained, like mellow black coffee, to experience his taste, to experience suffering time and time again, to get through it, to be addicted to him, but to get over it, this life will never be like him same man.

After all his torture and schemes, he still couldn't resent or hate him.

That apology made Wan Xixi's heart twitch slightly, "Chen Yuan, I'm actually not willing to end in such a hasty way."

He turned to her sideways, "Forget about me."

In the evening, Chen Chongzhou went back to the old house.

When they entered the study, Chen Yuan was there, and Chen Zheng gave him a hard slap in the face.

He didn't dodge or dodge, and when his strong chest blocked it, the cigarette pot was smashed into two pieces.

Chen Chongzhou picked up the cigarette stick and returned it to Chen Zheng, "Father, you didn't catch it. Do you want to start it again?"

Chen Zheng was annoyed, "You fight for me?"

He pretended, "Don't dare."

"Your elder brother is dishonest, and you are not a good person. You rushed home to join in the fun?"

Chen Chongzhou smiled lightly and remained silent.

Chen Zheng stared at the door, "Servants, drivers, and bodyguards, I will inform you in private. It seems that the Chen family is about to change drastically."

Chen Yuan bowed his head, "Calm down, I don't have the guts to disobey you."

"You don't have the guts?" He stood up and walked around the desk, "The second child is right, I know what to do, He Peiyu can't control him, and I'm not good enough to discipline him."

Chen Zheng pressed him straight, "But you have always been prudent. This blow caught the Chen family and the Wan family by surprise. You are more promising than the second child. I counted thousands of times. I didn't count that I was still alive. The eldest son will turn against me." .”

He lowered his eyes immediately, respectfully, "No matter how promising you are, your surname is Chen, and the blood of the Chen family flows. If my father beats and scolds me, I should take it as a matter of course."

"It's good for you to be clear." Chen Zheng sat back in his chair, "Your status, honor, and wealth are all given to me by myself. Your delusion is against me, and your morality is too shallow."

He opened the throat lozenge, poured out a pill, and pressed it to the base of his tongue, "I'm retiring Wanjia's engagement, who do you plan to marry?"

An understatement, but implies a crisis.

Chen Yuan remained expressionless, "I have no plans to get married at the moment."

"You are eager to get rid of the shackles of the Wan family and regain your freedom, aren't you paving the way for her?"

Chen Chongzhou rubbed his cuff buttons, squinted his eyes slightly, suppressed the coldness, and said nothing.

"Shen Zhen used to be with the second child. She is jealous of this relationship and has no intention of following me again."

"That woman knows the rules, but you pretend to be confused." Chen Zheng spat out the pill, "The black dog disappeared, did you do it?"

Chen Yuan raised his head without haste, "I gave him 300 million, and he and his wife have settled in Kuala Lumpur."

Looking at each other, Chen Zheng sneered, "Who gave you the power to make decisions without authorization."

Chen Yuan brushed the creases of the hem of his suit, "The black dog's history is not right. Once it falls into the hands of my third uncle, my father will be affected. As the eldest son, I should take care of my father's worries. Their husband and wife are happy to go abroad and don't want to continue Isn't everyone happy to work for you?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Zheng slammed the table, "Chen Yuan, you've wiped out the gangsters, and you've wiped them out in my den!"

"I'm not filial, and I don't deserve to inherit the Chen family's business." He took out a letter and put it on the table, "My resignation."

This move was beyond Chen Zheng's expectation, and he stopped scolding.

At this time, Chen Chongzhou's eyes suddenly brightened, and he realized that something was wrong.

Chen Yuan's step-by-step strategy seemed to deliberately anger Chen Zheng, and then he stepped down as a director of Fucheng's board of directors.

Nine times out of ten, they figured out the details of Shenghe and tried to get rid of this pit of fire.

After Chen Yuan withdrew, he was the one who took the lead in the family and attracted artillery fire.

"Father." He dissuaded Chen Zheng from the middle of the field, "You blame elder brother, now is not the time, the second uncle's wedding and mother's funeral are in these few days, the Chen family is facing a major reshuffle, and outsiders think I have ulterior motives. When you lost your mother and blamed yourself, forcing your elder brother away will damage your and Fucheng's reputation."

Chen Zheng sat down with a livid face, "Chen Yuan has been suspended, and the second child will take over his affairs. I will also explain to the Wan family to appease Wan Youliang's anger."

Chen Chongzhou stood under a bunch of lampposts, "I will temporarily take care of it, and when the storm subsides, it belongs to the eldest brother, and I will return it intact."

Chen Zheng looked at him vigilantly, closed his eyes slowly, turned off the lights, "Everyone go out."

At that time, the twilight was falling, the dim street lamps were falling, and a figure floated up. Chen Chongzhou was holding a cigarette with his back to the corridor.

Chen Yuan also stopped at the screen, pressed the lighter, his brows and eyes were red with flames, his eyes lingered at his feet, "What do you want?"

The lights of the skyscrapers in the central area of ​​the city were just turned on, and the man's body was shaken dimly, "Brother's next plan is to take Shen Zhen as his own."

Chen Yuan's face was serious, "She is a woman, not an item, and no one has the right to keep it for herself."

"I'm just curious. Eldest brother has remained calm for half his life and has not been moved by female sex. She is not an extremely beautiful woman, and secondly, she is not extremely intelligent." Chen Chongzhou turned around, "Brother's heart is too strange, there is a lot of mystery. "

Chen Yuan had a cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke was steaming, covering half of his face, becoming more and more unpredictable, "What do you want to express."

The man stared into a smile, "Could it be that elder brother has another plan, setting up a game in the middle of the game, and using her to restrict me."

The tip of Chen Yuan's tongue sucked the shredded tobacco from his molars and sprayed it out mixed with mist, "I'm not as miserable as you suspect."

After saying this, he stamped out the cigarette butt and turned around.

"Brother." Chen Chongzhou called to stop him, "I heard from An Qiao that you accompanied Wan Youliang to go fishing in the Beigang Reservoir last weekend, and you caught a treasured dragon and phoenix fish."

Chen Yuan tilted his head, "It's a pity that she won't be able to find out the truth for you in the future."

He closed the skylight and stepped down the steps, "If I intend to take advantage of her, why should I report it to my father and cut my own wings?"

"This is your brilliance. You only keep the pieces that are loyal to you alone, otherwise you would rather eliminate them and prevent betrayal."

While straightening his tie, Chen Chongzhou stepped in front of Chen Yuan, "The net I cast many years ago is about to be collected soon. I hope that if I get lucky with my brother's fishing, I will have a good harvest."

After finishing speaking, he chuckled a few times and walked away.

Chen Yuan frowned, staring at his back without warning.

When Chen Chongzhou came out of the old house, Xue Yan waited in the courtyard, avoiding the servants who saw him off, "Chen Dong, call overseas."

He glanced behind him quietly to confirm that it was safe before taking the phone.

There was a man at the other end, "Second Young Master..." his tone was agitated, and he tried his best to hide it.

He knew why the man was so anxious, "Can't hold back?"

"In the past nine years, she has never left my side." The man was anxious, "She will go back, and I will be thousands of miles away. I can't control her, just in case..."

"With me here, what are you worried about." Chen Chongzhou interrupted him, "No matter how smart a woman is, she can't be as cunning as a man, let alone she is not smart."

"Fortunately, I left my daughter behind. She was supposed to be brought back to the country with me. I was afraid that she would never come back." The man frowned, "Second Young Master, please pay close attention to me."

Chen Chongzhou hung up the phone, bent over and sat in the back seat, "Qi Shang is quite impatient."

Xue Yan started the engine, "The dawn of victory is within reach, so he can't wait."

"It's hard for him to suffer and suffer, and he is willing to let me manipulate him."

The car drove into the end of the neon against the moonlight, "I have no worries about food and clothing, and I am happy to lie down with a beautiful woman in my arms."

Chen Chongzhou suddenly laughed when he heard the words, "It's a great sense of accomplishment."

***

The next morning, Shen Zhen went to Changshi Group to deliver the contract. Chairman Liang Zewen was entertaining the distinguished guests, and the front desk led her to the lounge to wait.

Passing by the HR department on the fourth floor, she was interviewing the assistant director. She stopped and hesitated for a second, "I have three years of experience in market negotiation, can I apply?"

The front desk sized her up, "Aren't you a subordinate of Mr. He?"

Shen Zhen explained, "I used to work with Mr. He as the director of Hyatt. He commissioned me to outsource this project. I am not an employee of his company."

The front desk suddenly said, "Let me ask Manager Gong."

When she arrived at the lounge, she sat down, "When will Director Liang be free?"

"Two o'clock at the latest. Mr. Liang has a social meeting at noon. If we don't see you at two o'clock, we have to wait for another day."

A female staff member passed by the door and greeted the front desk, "Hey—— Mr. Chen's drinking party? He is still in the mood to socialize, and he has divorced."

"A man of this status has no shortage of women, Bai Fumei, celebrity models, as many as he wants, what is he worried about?"

The female staff sighed, "It's a godsend, I even dreamed that I became Cinderella."

The receptionist covered his lips and smiled, "It really is a dream."

Shen Zhen curled his hands involuntarily, "Chen Yuan from Shenghe Group divorced?"

The receptionist turned his head and held a glass of lemonade, "It was announced yesterday, and it has spread throughout the industry."

She caught the water glass in a daze, "What's the reason?"

"How can the real inside story be made public? It's probably because of Miss Wan Jia. If Mr. Chen doesn't take it seriously, will the Chen family dare to take the lead?" The receptionist looked at her, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Shen Zhen hurriedly recovered, "No..."

That night in the living room, the scene where Chen Yuan left suddenly made a comeback.

He was solemn and determined, as if he wanted to be alone and come to see her again with a clean slate.

At the same time, a few meters away, a huge floor-to-ceiling window, the man inside stood still, his eyes fell on the figure of the woman in the lounge.

Liang Zewen talked impassionedly about the municipal projects under the Changshi Group, and noticed that Chen Chongzhou was absent-minded, so he smiled and said, "Chen Dong, do you have a question?"

He looked away, "Who is that lady?"

"He Guodong, the boss of Huaxi Aluminum Alloy Plant, sent her to urge me to sign the appropriation, but I am not very interested."

Chen Chongzhou buttoned up his shirt with a casual attitude, "Have you talked about the project?"

Liang Zewen waved his hand impatiently, "We talked about it, the profit is small. To tell you the truth, I don't like a net profit of less than 3000 million."

He laughed, "It's fine if you don't talk about it. Now that the deal is settled, if Changshi changes his mind midway, it's because Director Liang is not authentic. Why bother with women."

Liang Zewen was amazed that the people who hang out in the shopping mall are not shrewd in their methods, but their eyesight is not bad, and they can see through everything.

"Mr. Chen knows her? I have the impression that you have never paid attention to these low-end small businesses."

Chen Chongzhou did not respond, still staring at Shen Zhen.

At this time, Gong Li, the person in charge of the personnel department, walked out of the interview room and went straight to the president's office to report Shen Zhen's situation, "In August, she followed Chen Yuan to a foreign city on a business trip, and there were some unexplainable involvements."

Liang Zewen was deep in thought, but remained silent for a while.

Gong Li asked for his opinion on whether to hire him.

"Director Liang." Chen Chongzhou rolled up his sleeves halfway as if nothing had happened, "Take a step to speak."

Liang Zewen dismissed the rest of his subordinates on the spot, negotiated with him alone, then returned, and gave Gong Li a few words.

Soon, the front desk received instructions, poured another cup of warm water, placed it opposite Shen Zhen, and gestured towards the corridor, "This is Manager Gong who is in charge of the recruitment process."

She got up immediately, and the middle-aged man was extremely enthusiastic, "Miss Shen, you are negligent. My name is Gong Li, and I am the director of the personnel department of Changshi Group."

Shen Zhen shook hands with him, "Manager Gong, I didn't bring my resume, can you tell me my email address? I'll send it to you when I get home."

"No need, you used to work for Hyatt, and I know a thing or two." Gong Li motioned her to sit down, "Then I'll get straight to the point, the salary is [-], are you satisfied?"

She hesitated, "The annual salary is a bit low."

Gong Li adjusted his glasses frame, "What about the monthly salary?"

Shen Zhen was completely stunned, "A monthly salary of [-]? Is it an assistant position?"
