mutual benefit [gl]

Today can be said to be very lively.

Chen Yuanzhen did not choose a foolproof long skirt like other female guests today, but chose a more neat dark blue suit with a light apricot silk shirt inside and a slender neck around the neck. bow tie as a match.It looks formal and won't steal Kang's limelight.

She hasn't seen Chen Yuanshuo yet, but she has seen her elder brother Chen Yuanyang.

Chen Yuanyang and Su Zhenzhen came to the scene early in the morning. Su Zhenzhen wore an orange evening dress today. Not only was the color bright, but the skirt was also exaggerated.The tailoring of this dress looks like a lot of work has been done. Su Zhenzhen has a good figure, and this dress adds a lot of points to her good figure.

Chen Yuanzhen recognized this dress. It was a high-end clothing brand that had not been publicly released. She was wearing...

Chen Yuanzhen looked around and scanned the female stars who were talking and smiling in this venue.

From this point of view, Su Zhenzhen is more prestigious than some female stars.

It's just that she looks like this, won't she really steal the limelight from today's protagonist?

Chen Yuanyang and his wife happened to see her too. Chen Yuanyang was going to turn around and leave, but Su Zhenzhen was unwilling to let go, and walked towards Chen Yuanzhen while pulling Chen Yuanyang's arm.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Chen Yuanzhen stopped and greeted with a smile.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

Chen Yuanyang glanced at her and snorted as an answer, while Su Zhenzhen stretched out his hand and waved at her, smiling all over his face.

"Yuan Zhen is here, and I haven't seen you for a long time."

After she finished speaking, she looked Chen Yuanzhen up and down, and seemingly subconsciously parted the hair scattered on her forehead behind her ears.

"Yuan Zhen is getting more and more beautiful." She smiled.

In fact, from the moment Chen Yuanzhen saw Su Zhenzhen, he took aim at the sapphire ring she was wearing on her right ring finger.

It was Chen Yuanzhen's birthday gift to Kang Lin last year, but Kang Lin passed the ring to Su Zhenzhen the day after receiving the gift.

Today Su Zhenzhen not only wore it, but even showed it in front of Chen Yuanzhen.

Although Chen Yuanzhen saw it in her eyes, not only did she not feel angry in her heart, she even felt a little ridiculous.

Su Zhenzhen is really childish.

Chen Yuanzhen just pretended not to notice that Su Zhenzhen was careful, and continued to smile and said: "Sister-in-law is getting more and more beautiful."

At this time, Chen Yuanyang, who was at the side, suddenly asked coldly: "Did you give mom a present this year?"

After finishing speaking, he sneered, "I saw that you were reluctant to give gifts in previous years, but this year is better, and you don't even pretend to be."

Chen Yuanzhen just lowered his head and smiled, but didn't speak.

Thinking about it, Kang Yun should have complained to Chen Yuanyang, otherwise this kid would not care about her affairs.

"Look at you, I just said such things when I first met my sister-in-law." Su Zhenzhen pretended to be angry and said, "My sister-in-law is not an idle person on weekdays. Is it normal that I forget about this when I am busy with work?"

Chen Yuanzhen still didn't speak, just lowered his eyes and listened to the two husbands and wives singing.

If Chen Yuanyang was embarrassing her openly, then Su Zhenzhen secretly wanted to make her unable to step down.

Who doesn't know that she, Chen Yuanzhen, is the biggest idler in the Chen Group?Using the word "busy at work" is really a great irony.

"Yuan Zhen, don't mind, you also know that your brother usually talks..."

"It seems that I really misunderstood many people."

Before Su Zhenzhen finished speaking, Chen Yuanzhen raised his head and interrupted with a smile.

She didn't wait for Su Zhenzhen to recover, and suddenly turned around and waved her hands. Only then did Chen Yuanyang and his wife see Special Assistant Liao walking towards Chen Yuanzhen.

She held a square leather box in her hand.

"Sorry Director, I'm late." Special Assistant Liao came over and said guiltily to Chen Yuanzhen.

"It's okay." Chen Yuanzhen patted Liao Tezhu on the shoulder, she looked at Chen Yuanyang and his wife, but said to Liao Tezhu with a smile:

"As long as it comes at the end."

Coincidentally, all the guests had already arrived at this time, and Chen Zhishan and Kang Lin walked into the center of the venue to speak.

Chen Yuanyang took a hard look at Chen Yuanzhen and then led Su Zhenzhen to the center of the venue, and Chen Yuanzhen followed behind.

Kang Lin's speech was actually just a few polite words on the scene, nothing more than thanking the guests for coming and telling everyone not to be restrained.

Just when Kang Lin finished speaking and everyone was applauding, Chen Yuanzhen stepped forward from the crowd.

Holding the box in her hand, she stood in front of Kang Lin and bowed deeply.

"Aunt Kang, I wish you a happy birthday."

After she finished speaking, she handed the box to Kang Lin.

"Today was my negligence. I didn't hand over the gift early in the morning as usual." Chen Yuanzhen said apologetically.

"And I hope you like this gift."

The guests who came here today all know that Chen Yuanzhen is not Kang Yun's biological child. Shut everyone's mouths.

In the past, Chen Yuanzhen sent someone to give a gift in private, but she gave it to someone else if she said it.But today, Chen Yuanzhen gave a gift in front of everyone, and it would be impolite for her not to accept it.

Kang Yu forced a smile and said, "Yuan Zhen has a heart."

She stretched out her hand to take the box, but unexpectedly, Chen Yuanzhen smiled and opened the box directly.

The pigeon blood-red necklace inside burst out with dazzling light the moment the box was opened. Many of the people present had participated in the auction back then, so they naturally knew that this necklace was expensive. Can't help discussing.

"I didn't expect her to be so filial to Mrs. Chen?"

"That's right. I heard that Mrs. Chen doesn't want to see this stepdaughter. Now, the mother-daughter relationship might be pretty good."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Chen Yuanzhen smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

Chen Yuanyang and his wife, who just returned to their husbands and sang their wives, were even more dumbfounded when they insinuated Chen Yuanzhen.

How could they have thought that Chen Yuanzhen would spend such a large amount of money.

Kang Lin was also amazed by this necklace, he was speechless for a while, and only looked at the necklace with wide eyes.

Chen Zhishan glanced at Chen Yuanzhen lightly, but said nothing.

"Do you still like it?" Chen Yuanzhen asked softly.

Kang Lin looked up at her, eyes full of disbelief.

"It seems that I made the right choice this time." Chen Yuanzhen nodded and smiled.

Chen Yuanzhen made this necklace look good in front of so many famous people, not only let everyone see his filial piety, but also made it difficult for Kang Yun.

Now everyone in Z City knows that her good stepdaughter gave her such a precious necklace, and she will not take it seriously if she wants to dispose of this gift casually in the future.

Kang Lin stretched out his hand to take the necklace, and smiled at Chen Yuanzhen.

"Thank you Yuan Zhen, I like it very much."

And at this moment, Chen Yuanyang who was standing in the crowd suddenly said loudly:

"Actually, I also have a gift for you today."

The eyes of the crowd were suddenly attracted by Chen Yuanyang, and everyone's focus was on him again.

At this time, Chen Yuanshuo, who was standing in the crowd and had been watching the fire from the other side, felt his heart tighten.

In the morning, Su Zhenzhen had already delivered a gift to Kang Yun, Chen Yuanyang's family always gave a gift together as a couple, why did Chen Yuanyang change his temper today?

Chen Yuanyang smiled in satisfaction, he clapped his hands, the crowd suddenly parted a path, and nine men in suits and leather shoes carried the three paintings and walked forward.

The three paintings were all covered with light-colored silk, and the real face could not be seen.

And Chen Yuanzhen took advantage of this moment to quietly retreat into the crowd.

Chen Yuanyang stepped forward, he took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on.

"I got these three paintings by chance at an international auction not long ago. I know that my mother loves art very much, so I specially gave it to my mother as a birthday present."

As he spoke, he walked slowly to each painting and tore off the silk covering it.

When everyone saw the true face of Mount Lu in these three paintings, Chen Yuanshuo froze.

These three paintings are exactly the three paintings he sold!

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Kang Li's body.

These three paintings...

She turned her surprised and terrified eyes to Chen Yuanyang, but saw Chen Yuanyang's complacent face.

Kang Lin's hands gradually became cold, and his teeth began to chatter constantly.

She remembered that she obviously sold the painting to someone else, how could it fall into Chen Yuanyang's hands?

She clenched her fists subconsciously, and secretly turned her eyes to see Chen Zhishan's expression.

Now she can only hope that Chen Zhishan will not know the origin of these three paintings.

however,

"These three paintings... look familiar." Chen Zhishan said slowly.

Chen Yuanshuo's face turned pale all of a sudden, he didn't dare to look at Chen Zhishan again, and Kang Yun could only agree with him with a dry smile: "Yes, is it?"

Chen Zhishan's sharp eyes swept across Kang Lin, and he shuttled between the three paintings with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly laughed:

"Aren't these the three paintings displayed in your art gallery? I saw them last time."

Chen Yuanyang was secretly happy in his heart.

The old man actually recognized these three paintings, it was God's help.

"Eh? Is that so?!" Chen Yuanyang pretended to be ignorant and said in surprise.

He looked at Chen Yuanshuo, and saw that his face was dripping with sweat, and his lips had become bloodless.

"Chen Yuanshuo... you also have today."

He gloated in his heart.

"but,"

Chen Zhishan turned around suddenly, and he looked at the three paintings carefully. After looking at them for a while, he turned back and said to Kang Lin gently:

"Didn't you say last time that you were bored with these three paintings and wanted to sell them?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Yuanshuo was stunned, but everyone present, including Chen Yuanyang and Kang Yun, including Chen Yuanzhen, were all stunned for a moment.

What does Chen Zhishan mean by this?

But Kang Lin quickly came back to her senses, and she quickly agreed with a smile: "Yes, yes... yes..."

"So say..."

Facing all the guests, Chen Zhishan smiled kindly and said:

"People say that paintings are psychic. You see, this is going around, and in the end it should belong to someone else."

The guests all laughed and echoed, although Chen Yuanyang had a smile on his face, but there was something hard to say.

Chen Zhishan clearly knew that the painting was tricky, but it seemed that he planned to just prevaricate it.

But I have spent tens of millions, do I have to suffer from this dumb loss?

Chen Yuanshuo breathed a sigh of relief secretly, but he didn't dare to slack off completely, and could only smile awkwardly among the crowd.

Especially at this time, my wife is not around, and I am completely alone and helpless.

"It's just that if the intermediate buyer who bought my wife's three paintings at that time knew about it... probably thought that our Chen family was fine and would make a fuss... Ha ha."

Chen Zhishan joked with a smile.

Chen Yuanzhen's body froze, and the golden liquid in the wine glass also caused ripples.

"Take the painting away, and don't keep carrying it." Kang Yu hurriedly sent the person carrying the painting away at this time, so as not to cause any trouble.

Chen Zhishan flipped through the little incident so lightly, and Chen Yuanzhen felt a little unwilling.

But the one who was most unwilling was Chen Yuanyang.

In order to make Chen Yuanshuo lose face today, he paid a high price, what is it now?

The goblet in Chen Yuanyang's hand was almost crushed by himself.

And at this moment, another voice sounded from the crowd.

"Father, mother. I'm sorry I'm late."

The voice was gentle and sweet, and Chen Yuanzhen's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head and took a sip of the champagne in her glass.

Here comes another one.

The crowd was separated, and an elegant woman in a cheongsam led two beautiful little girls.

This is Chen Yuanshuo's wife, Cui Jinxian, the daughter of the editor-in-chief of Z City Daily.

The flower of Gaoling in Z city.

Cui Jinxian has a gentle appearance, a slender figure, and usually speaks in a soft voice. Compared with Su Zhenzhen's domineering daughter, she is more popular with Kang Yun.

And the two little girls she leads are the only granddaughters of the Chen family.

The two little girls were very well-behaved. When they saw Chen Zhishan and Kang Lin, they called out kindly and politely, "Grandpa, Grandma."

Walking in front of Kang Yun, before Cui Jinxian could speak, the two children threw themselves into Kang Yun's arms coquettishly, and sweetly wished grandma a happy birthday.

Cui Jinxian first smiled and nodded to everyone as a greeting, especially when she saw Chen Yuanzhen, Cui Jinxian smiled softly.

Chen Yuanzhen nodded in response.

Compared to Su Zhenzhen, Cui Jinxian is much more polite, including any major festival every year, Cui Jinxian will specially send a lot of gifts.

From this point of view, Cui Jinxian is more than one level smarter than Su Zhenzhen.

Cui Jinxian saw the two daughters in Kang Yun's arms, and Kang Yun was extremely precious, so she pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"The two children said they wanted to give you a gift a week ago, but they still refused to tell me what it was. They didn't come too late until this morning."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Zhishan and Kang Lin apologetically.

"I'm really sorry."

Kang Lin looked at the child and did not speak, while Chen Zhishan nodded, expressing nothing.

Cui Jinxian smiled, and she waved her hands secretly, and two people came up behind them holding a pair of scrolls.

"Open it." Cui Jinxian smiled.

The scroll was slowly opened, and everyone took a closer look. The scroll was originally a calligraphy work, with eight large characters neatly arranged in the middle——

"The fragrance is clear and distant, and the longevity is Kangning."

The fonts of the first four characters and the last four characters can be seen to be different, obviously written by two people.The inscriptions on the characters are also the names of the two children.

The handwriting looks a little immature, but it is obvious that hard work has been put in, and traces of copying from famous calligraphy can be seen.

"The two children were practicing calligraphy the year before last. As soon as they achieved some results, the two of them wanted to show their skills in front of their grandparents."

Cui Jinxian smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Especially in front of you, father... These two ignorant children are really playing tricks on each other."

Su Zhenzhen couldn't help rolling her eyes in the audience.

Chen Yuanzhen watched Su Zhenzhen's expression coldly, feeling a little ridiculous in his heart.

The rank of the two sister-in-laws is really a judgment call.

She cast her eyes on the words, picked up her glass and took a sip of wine.

It is false for Cui Jinxian to let the two children give gifts, reminding the elders that the third generation of the Chen family all came from Chen Yuanshuo, and it is true that they came from themselves.

To say that the timing of her appearance was really accurate, when Chen Yuanshuo's crisis was barely over, she happened to lead the two children out.

Is this a rescue, or a rescue?

Chen Yuanzhen smiled coldly.

The author has something to say: In fact, there are some things I didn't want to say, but I still want to mention them.I saw a few little angels say that they could see the feeling of the Korean drama "The City That Never Sleeps", but I didn't reply.Since I did watch the drama, it is very troublesome for me to reply whether I have watched it or not.

But the article "Mutual Benefit" doesn't have much to do with this drama... because it belongs to the type of business war, and it is also strong.So in fact, when I wrote the article, I also deliberately avoided the stalks that may appear in this drama. From the characters of the two heroines to the main line of the plot, I often consider avoiding the "City That Never Sleeps" The drama, including the plot of the largest collapse accident so far, has already been picked up by readers, so I won’t say more.

Then some readers speculated whether Chen Yuanzhen asked Ji Cixi to seduce Chen Zhishan.But in fact, Chen Yuanzhen said from the very beginning that Chen Zhishan is very cautious about women's issues. First of all, this cannot be established. Then, if I really write this kind of plot, I think the role of Chen Yuanzhen is also a kind of collapse of the author's self.

I am very grateful to all the little angels who read the article seriously, thank you for your support, and I hope you can continue to support me~
