Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Chapter 14 The strange relatives of the Chen family

Here, Chen Wangyang's family arrived at the World Supreme Banquet Hall under the guidance of the welcoming lady.

The Supreme Banquet Hall is the most luxurious banquet hall in the world. It can accommodate thousands of people dining at the same time. However, it is only used a few times throughout the year. The reason is that it is too expensive.

A banquet lasts only half a day, and the venue fee alone costs 1 yuan, not to mention the banquet that matches the level of the venue.

It can be said that one game can cost [-] to [-] yuan.

This was in 2007, and seventy or eighty thousand was already a large amount.

Those who can’t afford it really can’t afford it, and those who can afford it mostly have better choices. It’s a typical case of high-end and low-end.

Such a luxurious banquet hall immediately frightened Chen Xianxian and Yang Caixia, and they muttered in a low voice:

"Old Chen, didn't we order Fengqiuhuang? Why did the Supreme Lord come all day long?"

"Yeah, isn't it the hotel that made a mistake?"

Chen Wangyang, who had experienced it once in his previous life, lowered his voice and said:

"It's not that the hotel made a mistake, but in order to prevent the Zhang family from causing trouble, they deliberately upgraded our treatment!"

Chen Xianxian frowned, and there was unconcealable anger in his deep voice:

"As a public servant of the people, yet the people are trembling with fear and fear when facing them. It is simply putting the cart before the horse! It is really ridiculous and sad!"

Chen Wangyang shrugged and said:

"Dad, money has worshiped power since ancient times. There is no need to be angry. We just need to have a clear conscience."

Chen Xianxian was silent for a while, then sighed and said:

"How about asking the hotel to change it back?"

Chen Wangyang shook his head and said: "The guests have already entered the venue, there is no need to bother anymore, in the worst case we can just go back and pay the difference to the hotel."

Yang Caixia looked at the luxurious and grand World Supreme Banquet Hall and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her wallet:

"This banquet hall is so luxurious. I'm afraid it costs thousands to use it, right?"

Chen Wangyang said in his heart that a few thousand dollars was really not enough, but on the surface he reassured his mother:

"It's okay, Mom. I saved a lot of money during my usual work-study program. I'll pay for it!"

Although Yang Caixia felt sorry for her wallet, she felt even more sorry for her son. She gritted her teeth and said:

"That won't work. You haven't joined the job yet. It's the time when you're short of money. It's okay. Mom will provide the money. Mom has the money!"

Chen Wangyang knew that he couldn't be more stubborn than his mother, so he could only nod his head at the moment, but he thought about quietly buying the order later.

Because of their father Chen Xianfeng's cool style, their family's financial situation has never been very good.

When Chen Wangyang was in college, he worked several part-time jobs in his spare time. Over the past few years, in addition to not having to pay for the tuition fees, his family had also saved a little over 1 yuan. He thought that should be enough, right?

At this moment, Chen Wangyang's aunt Chen Meihua, second uncle Chen Shengli, third uncle Chen Baoguo and brother-in-law Chen Canjun rushed over at the same time. They surrounded Chen Wangyang's family with joyful faces and talked in all directions. Author:

"Brother and sister-in-law, why are you here? A waiter just removed Wang Yang and Yaru's engagement photos, and I and I scolded each other. Go and ask what's going on!"

"Wang Yang is so handsome today, haha. Don't you feel in high spirits on happy occasions?"

"What are you talking about? Our Wang Yang is a handsome guy with a lot of talent, okay?"

"That's it!"

"Brother, why don't you and your sister-in-law say anything about your happy day today? Come on, I brought some cosmetics. I'll apply them on you two. I'll make sure you both feel refreshed and look ten years younger!"

"Cousin Wang Yang, we two brothers must have a few drinks today!"

"Brother Wang Yang, do you still remember me? I am your youngest cousin Pang Dun. When I was a child, you took me down to the river to catch fish..."

……

The three members of Chen Wangyang's family were so noisy that they were dizzy. Seeing that many relatives from far away were coming here, Chen Wangyang shouted decisively:

"Stop! You all, please stop arguing and listen to me first!"

Chen Wangyang's uncles and aunts were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

If this had happened before, if Chen Wangyang had yelled in front of them like this, they would have started scolding him long ago!

But thinking that this eldest nephew would be County Magistrate Li's son-in-law in the future, their awe for power made them dare not make any mistakes. Although they were dissatisfied, they quickly calmed down.

Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, Chen Wangyang pushed his father out:

"Dad, tell me!"

After all, he is a junior, and if some words come out of his mouth, these relatives will probably take them as a joke, so the veteran can only take action.

Chen Xianxian looked at the arrogant younger brothers and sisters in front of him and felt irritated for no reason. At that moment, he cleared his throat first and then said:

"After careful consideration, County Magistrate Li still feels that Yaru is not suitable for our Wang Yang family and has taken the initiative to break off the engagement. Therefore, today's engagement ceremony has been canceled and changed to a normal dinner party!"

"What?"

Chen Xian's words were like magic, instantly putting smiles on the faces of all the relatives.

As these words gradually spread, the originally bustling World Supreme Banquet Hall gradually fell into silence, and soon became silent. If a pin dropped to the ground at this time, you would probably be able to hear it clearly...

Finally, Chen Wangyang’s second aunt Chen Meihua broke the silence:

"It's a big day, brother, don't we want to joke around?"

Li Yunyun, the second uncle Chen Wangyang’s wife and the most snobbish second aunt, immediately echoed:

"That's right, brother, this joke is unlucky!"

Chen Xianxian said expressionlessly:

"I'm not kidding. Haven't you noticed that County Magistrate Li and his family haven't shown up yet?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the relatives suddenly became extremely ugly, and they all made rapid calculations in their hearts:

[It is true that the Li family has not shown up yet. It seems that the engagement has really been broken off! 】

[Haha, with the information about the eldest brother’s family, why should he be in-laws with County Chief Li’s family?Sure enough, the engagement was broken off, right? 】

[Damn, luckily I haven’t given away my share of the 1 yuan yet, otherwise I would have lost a lot! 】

[Really, if you didn’t tell me that your engagement was annulled earlier, it doesn’t matter if your own family is embarrassed, but you asked us to come together and be embarrassed, you are really my brother! 】

[My eldest brother and his family are like mud that can’t stand up to the wall after all!You deserve to be poor for the rest of your life! 】

……

In the end, Chen Shengli, the second uncle who had the most trouble with Chen Wangyang's family before, couldn't help but speak:

"Wang Yang, I'm not talking about you as my second uncle. Why didn't you inform everyone earlier that your engagement was broken off? Your cousins ​​all asked for leave to attend your engagement ceremony! Do you think everyone is like you, an unemployed vagrant? Don’t you have to work?”

Although he was very angry, Chen Shengli still did not dare to accuse his eldest brother directly. He could only pick on the weak and attack Chen Wangyang.

My father has spoken, and Chen Meili, the eldest daughter of my second uncle Chen Shengli, naturally supports me:

"That's right, I just found a job working in a department store. I wasn't allowed to take leave during the probation period, but I ended up taking leave because of you. What if I can't keep my job? Chen Wangyang, are you responsible?"

Chen Meili has always been known for being outspoken, mean and stingy. Her father didn't dare to confront her eldest brother directly, but she didn't care at all and even called her eldest cousin by his first name!
