On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

I stayed at home lazily for two days.

Chen Qian encountered something that forced him to go out.

"Do I have to go? Must I go? Can't I not go?" Chen Qian looked at Zhong Yi, who was serious opposite him, in embarrassment, and begged him with a frown.

"The sponsor requested it." Zhong Yike didn't care what he thought. He slammed the invitation on the table and said seriously, "I have to go."

Chen Qian had only been back for less than a week, and he had decided to stay at home until the day of his departure.

But unexpectedly, the sponsor personally stepped in and disrupted his good schedule.

When Zhong Yi told him that the sponsor asked them to attend an event dinner together, he felt like the sky was falling.

Actually, Chen Qian felt that there was still room for maneuver on the sponsor's side, but his partner was extremely stubborn and would stick to his word and seriously implement the sponsor's requirements.

The most outrageous thing is that he had read the email himself, and the sponsor clearly wrote that they "hoped" we could meet at the dinner.

When it came to Zhong Yi, it was misinterpreted as a "request"!

Chen Qian acted coquettishly and cutely, and even pestered the man, and even called on her aunt and mother to help plead for mercy, but all to no avail.

My aunt and mother rejected him harshly, using the excuse, "Can that kid Zhongyi hurt you?"

After an hour's hard work, it turned into this: Chen Qian faced Zhong Yi's indifferent gaze and nodded sadly in agreement.

"Go ahead!" Chen Qian was indignant, glaring at Zhong Yi several times, "Can't I just go and eat?"

Just as the words fell, Chen Qian heard his mother's faint disdain from behind: "Hey, you're almost thirty now, why don't you be more mature like Zhong Yi."

Chen Qian felt even more dissatisfied and secretly sad.

Zhongyi, you are such a good kid from another family!

……

The dinner was just a formality, the main purpose was to win over the sponsors. Chen Qian, with the idea of ​​just having a casual meal, took out a suit from the suitcase and put it on.

As soon as he went out, he ran into his mother who was praising Zhong Yi's clothes hanger.

"Mom~" Chen Qian tried to awaken Ms. Wen's maternal love jealously.

Mom turned around.

Mom saw Chen Qian.

Mom's expression cracked.

Wake-up failed.

"What are you wearing?" She looked Chen Qian up and down, then showed some contempt on her face.

Chen Qian's mind froze at this question, and he pouted like a teapot, "What are you wearing?"

"No, no, it's embarrassing for me if you go out like this!" Ms. Wen closed her eyes and shook her head, looking like she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

When I went out again, I changed my clothes.

Chen Qian wore a standard tuxedo suit that fitted his slightly trained muscles, creating the effect of broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The accordion-pleated shirt added a sense of layering, and the bow tie tied by his mother was also very pretty.

Chen Qian was very satisfied that the whole set was made by Ms. Wen. Ms. Wen was pleased to see her son becoming much more handsome, and the atmosphere returned to the moment when the mother-son relationship was the strongest.

Zhong Yi didn't have any thoughts on this. He was more concerned about the tuft of hair hanging in front of his forehead that made him a little itchy. But this was Chen's mother's idea. She said that with her gold-rimmed glasses, he looked like a gentleman, and it was not easy for him to change it.

The sponsor specially sent a car to pick them up, a steady and low-key Cayenne.

Chen Qian didn't have any feelings about this car, he was just curious.

There aren't many people in this city who can send a Cayenne to pick up freelance writers and photographers like them.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, many people had already arrived.

Only then did Chen Qian realize that the scale of this banquet was almost as great as the birthday banquet for Mr. Chi that he had attended a few years ago.

After entering, he could feel many subtle gazes cast on him.

Although the Chen family has fallen on hard times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Thanks to his grandfather's fame, many people still know Chen Qian. Moreover, Chen Tian has been discussed recently because of his extraordinary methods, so it is natural that his younger brother is not involved.

He left the country suddenly and hasn't appeared for several years. It is indeed curious that he appears here quietly now.

only……

Chen Qian looked around but didn't see any particularly familiar faces.

"Boss Wu is on the second floor. Come find us later." Zhong Yi glanced down at the message on his phone and informed Chen Qian. Then he said meaningfully, "They all know you."

"I don't know them." Chen Qian shook his head, then asked uncomfortably, "How long will he take? We'd better leave early."

The two of them wandered aimlessly in the hall, occasionally clinking glasses and saying hello to people who came up to them.

The two people who were concentrating on killing time did not notice at all that a man and a woman were standing on the small balcony on the second floor.

A man and a woman were talking face to face.

Suddenly, the woman's gaze fixed on a corner downstairs, and her eyes lit up.

"Does your beautiful baby in the photo have a twin brother?"

"What?" The man looked at her in confusion, as if she was talking nonsense, but he still replied patiently, "No, there's only Chen Tian."
