On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss
Chapter 20 Chi Family Dinner
Chen Qian put his hands on Chen Tian’s shoulders and shook him hard.
Chen Tian woke up with his eyes blurry.
"Brother, you have been very busy recently." Chen Qian sat down and covered the laptop screen.
"I can't help it. This project is quite important. You know my uncle and dad are both anxious to step down, so I have no choice but to go ahead and do it myself." Chi Mu rubbed his brows with two fingers together, and said, "A few shareholders are too ambitious and are trying to trip me up everywhere. I'm already busy, and I have to keep an eye on them."
Chen Qian knew nothing about these business matters. He often saw Chen Tian busy but could not help at all.
The family had already trained the older Chen Tian as the head of the family, so naturally, they didn't have as many expectations for their younger brother, Chen Qian, and had been more relaxed since childhood. Having already sacrificed Chen Tian's freedom, why force Chen Qian to accompany him?
"Here you go, I can't help you much..." Chen Qian poured a glass of water and handed it to Chen Tian, then lay down on the table.
"Isn't it good that you are free now? I just joined the company not long ago, so it's normal to be busy."
On Sunday afternoon, Chen Qian took a taxi back to school and met Sun Cheng and Yu Wangxi at the school gate.
"Hey, are you on a date?" Chen Qian quickly rushed over from behind, put his arm around their shoulders, and hugged them. Inertia pulled them forward two steps, and they almost fell together. "Hahahahaha sorry, I ran too fast. Where did you two go?"
"There's a game city that just opened on Yunhua Road."
"I know that one. Is it fun? Take me there next time."
“It’s quite interesting. The place is huge.”
"But it's just the two of you? Where is Ke Wu?" Chen Qian suddenly remembered that Ke Wu was always with them, so why wasn't he there today?
"Stop talking about it. We agreed to go to the game city together yesterday, but that damn boy forgot his loyalty for the sake of beauty. He was dragged away by Qi Yu when he was about to go out this morning." Sun Cheng shook his head and criticized Ke Wu.
"They really went on a date. Qi Yu even posted photos on his Moments." Yu Wangxi was browsing his phone. When he saw the pictures on his Moments, he raised his voice and brought his phone closer to the two of them.
In the picture on the phone, Ke Wu was staring out the window. Behind the glass was a miniature of the amusement park. The light shining in made Ke Wu look like he was glowing.
"Qi Yu is really good at taking photos, but who do you think is on top and who is on the bottom?" Sun Cheng admired the photo.
"?"
"?"
"Is this a question a straight man like you should ask?" Chen Qian loosened his grip on Sun Cheng's hand and stood in a row with Yu Wangxi, looking at him in shock.
"No, I'm surrounded by people who share the same interests. If I learn a little more, I'll understand you better, right?" Sun Cheng explained, pulling Chen Qian back and continuing to walk forward, saying, "I've done this for you good brothers. If you're touched, please treat me to dinner."
"Really, take a vacation! Don't bring back some kid and introduce him to us one day!" Chen Qian glared suspiciously at Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng laughed and laughed a few times, finally managing to put the matter to rest by changing the subject. He took advantage of the other's inattention and cried out in hunger, insisting on eating right away and urging them to go to the cafeteria.
There were two professional classes on Monday morning. When they arrived at the classroom with their breakfast, they found Qi Yu there. He was sitting in the best row and waved to them.
"We happened to be having class in this classroom this morning. Since we have nothing to do if we go back, we'll stay and wait for you and save a seat for you." Qi Yu clung to Ke Wu and took his bag obediently.
"We are sitting here, so we won't bother you. If the three of us are too bright, remember to remind us." Sun Cheng sat next to Ke Wu and couldn't help teasing them. He laughed a little obscenely.
"How dare I look down on you! Let's go out for dinner together tonight, I'll treat you. Let's celebrate the happy event!" Qi Yu grabbed Ke Wu's hand openly and insisted on interlocking their fingers. Ke Wu slapped his rebellious hand hard and took it back angrily.
Since he failed to show his affection, he could only stare at Ke Wu with wide eyes, frowned, and looked at him in grievance.
Ke Wu just pretended that there was no one beside him, neither seeing nor hearing anything. He listened to the lecture carefully and took notes attentively with great concentration.
Lin Xixi also came to dinner that night. She hadn't been around much lately, and she and Qi Yu only ran into each other during class. It wasn't until this dinner that she learned about the new news about the two of them, so she and Sun Cheng conspired to prank the new couple.
On the way back to school after dinner, Chen Qian received a call from Chen Tian.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Chen Tian usually didn't call him much. He would send WeChat messages when he had something to say. So Chen Qian always assumed that receiving a call from him was about something important.
"What time do you finish class tomorrow night? I'll pick you up."
"What? I finished class around four in the evening."
"You don't have classes tomorrow morning, right? I'll send you an address. You can go try on suits and accessories tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up in the evening and go back to style and change clothes. There's a dinner party tonight, and we have to go together."
"Dinner?" The information Chen Tian provided was too dense, and he couldn't understand it for a moment, so he only grasped the most important one.
"Yes, it's the Chi family's old man's birthday. Our parents are not in the city and can't make it back. So grandpa hopes that both of us will go, so it will look better."
"Okay, then call me when you come tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qian felt a little uncomfortable.
Such occasions are full of mixed crowds, and everyone present has deep intentions. Chen Qian is young and has little self-protection ability. I've never brought him along before, fearing he might be targeted. This is the first time I've asked him to attend.
But with Chen Tian present, he actually didn't feel any pressure.
Besides, the Chi family was well-known, and he had heard a lot about it. He also often heard his family members talk about it at home, so he had some understanding of it.
The Chi family has deep roots and has a history of hundreds of years. From its rise to the present, it has hardly declined. Its scope of business is also wide, and it is considered to be the most powerful force in this area. It can be said that no matter how hard the prominent families in the province work, they will eventually have to rely on the Chi family for their livelihood.
It’s the old man of the Chi family’s birthday, so how could there be any problems with the dinner?
Chen Qian got up at around seven o'clock the next day.
There are no classes in the morning, so we have to get up so early. When we hear the noise, everyone has to get up to see who is trying to secretly roll the paper.
When they saw it was Chen Qian, everyone was surprised. Sun Cheng even asked him aggressively if he was going to the library. Chen Qian had to explain that he had to go out early to prepare for his evening arrangements.
"Isn't this the Chi family's birthday party tonight?" Yu Wangxi's elders would also be attending the banquet, so he guessed it as soon as he heard Chen Qian's words. But he had known Chen Qian for a long time and knew that Chen Qian's family was not a wealthy family. Chen Qian was the youngest in the family, so he was very surprised that he would be sent to attend this dinner.
"Yes." Chen Tian was afraid that Chen Qian would oversleep, so after thinking about it, he arranged a car to take Chen Qian there. The driver was already waiting at the door. Chen Qian was a little anxious: "You guys are going there too."
