mutual benefit [gl]

It was already getting dark, and the aunts and chefs at home were already busy arranging dishes in the restaurant.Chen Yuanshuo went back to his room to deal with official business, so only Chen Yuanzhen, Kang Lin and others were left sitting in the front hall.Kang Yun talked and laughed with Cui Jinxian casually, while Chen Yuanzhen was left alone.It's just that the Chen family has strict rules, and even if the juniors have nothing to say, they can't leave the table or look down at the phone while the elders are talking.

Although Chen Yuanzhen did not participate in the conversation between Kang Yun and Cui Jinxian, Cui Jinxian always glanced at Chen Yuanzhen intentionally or unintentionally. Several times her eyes had been met by Chen Yuanzhen, but she did not dodge, as if it was intentional Let Chen Yuanzhen notice himself.

Although she had known for a long time that Cui Jinxian was not an idle person, she had never been so bold. Chen Yuanzhen felt a fog in her heart, but it was not easy to ask questions, so she could only wait and see what happened.

When everyone in the restaurant was almost busy, as if stuck in time, Chen Zhishan entered the door surrounded by Xu Gong and others.As soon as he entered the front hall, Kang Lin got up immediately, went to his side and stretched out his hand to take Chen Zhishan's suit from Xu Gong's hand.Cui Jinxian is also smart. As soon as her mother-in-law took the suit, she immediately extended her hand and asked her mother-in-law to give the suit to her, and then she handed it over to her aunt to take care of it.

On the other hand, Chen Yuanzhen, although she also stood up, but when she got to Chen Zhishan's side, it was as if half of her energy was taken away by someone, even her eyes became listless, and she said timidly, "Chairman. "

Chen Zhishan seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. He didn't say anything when he saw Chen Yuanzhen, and smiled and said, "There's no need to call the chairman again when we get home."

Chen Yuanzhen nodded, but did not speak.

She lowered her head, and she could only see the legs of Chen Zhishan and others in trousers. Usually, she could only see two people, but today she saw a third person.

Chen Yuanzhen came in a hurry just now, before he had time to see who was going home with Chen Zhishan, he quickly bowed his head to say hello.Only then did she remember that while Kang Lin was talking to Chen Zhishan, she raised her head slightly.

The moment he raised his head, Chen Yuanzhen was stunned.

high repair.

At this time, Chen Yuanshuo, who had just hurried downstairs, was smiling all over his face, but when he saw Gao Xiu, who came back with his father, the smile on his face lost all vitality in an instant, and his face seemed to be dry. Hair, white and stiff.

"Hi Ma'am, it's the first time we meet. I'm Gao Xiu." Gao Xiu stepped forward to shake hands with Kang Yun while speaking. The husband even brought his son's opponent home today to participate in the Chen family banquet.

"This is the wife of the deputy general manager, hello."

Cui Jinxian was still generous and decent, she shook Gao Xiu's hand with a smile and said nothing more.

The arrival of Gao Xiu made the entire atmosphere of the Chen family take a 180-degree turn. Although the Chen family had never had a happy scene, the appearance of Gao Xiu undoubtedly poured water on the villa that was already like an ice cellar. heavy rain.

And the instigator of all this was watching everyone's expressions change with a smile at this time, playing with everything and applauding as in the past.

Gao Xiu was invited to even the private family banquet. If what Chen Yuanzhen said to Chen Yuanshuo before still frightened him, then now, Chen Yuanzhen is a little annoyed that she is a bit crowed.

It wasn't too early for Chen Zhishan to come back. At this time, everything was ready, and the few people stopped greeting each other and entered the table one after another.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Zhishan greeted the nanny Zhang Ma and asked her to go upstairs to call Ji Xu down for dinner.

"The Xu'er mentioned by the chairman is probably the eldest grandson you just found." Gao Xiu asked with a smile.

Gao Xiu's words made everyone present hold their breath. Chen Zhishan hated irrelevant people asking about his or the Chen family's personal affairs. Back then when Chen Yuanzhen was brought back from the countryside to the Chen family, there was a new nanny chewing his tongue behind his back. He accidentally found out that he was fired on the same day, and this person has never been able to engage in any domestic work in Z City since then.

But now, even if Gao Xiu was the celebrity in front of Chen Zhishan, asking so blatantly about Chen Zhishan's personal affairs still made everyone present gasp.

Chen Yuanshuo was rather happy, he thought that according to the old man's temper, Gao Xiu might be expelled immediately.

However, just when everyone thought that Gao Xiu had stepped on a thunderstorm, the old man nodded kindly.

"Yeah, when the child comes back, I wanted to change his name. But the single name given to the child by the family who raised the child before is pleasant to the ear, so I don't want to change it."

Chen Zhishan's gentle attitude surprised everyone. Not only did he not reprimand Gao Xiu, he even told him more details. Even Chen Zhishan's three children had never received such a kind attitude.

Cui Jinxian was really clever. While the others were still looking at each other, she smiled and said, "Xu is a good word, but the main reason is that the child likes this name, and you are always reluctant to refute his happiness."

Chen Zhishan clapped his hands and laughed loudly when he heard the words, and praised: "The second daughter-in-law is smart."

A few people were chatting here, Ji Xu and the other two children had already been taken downstairs and entered the restaurant, the two little girls bowed their heads first to say hello, and one of the little girls next to Ji Xu even talked about Ji Xu. Xu's sleeve, reminding him to follow suit.

Ji Xu was also clever, and immediately bowed along with him.The three children were so polite, and the adults present all had doting smiles on their faces. Of course, Chen Yin and Chen Luo, the two daughters of Cui Jinxian, went straight to their parents and sat down next to each other. As for Ji Xu, Chen Zhishan was about to He greeted the child to sit beside him, but Kang Lin was the first to say:

"Xu'er is still young, you adults talk for a while and children don't like to listen. Doesn't sitting next to you make you bored?"

"Mom makes sense," Chen Yuanshuo also said hastily. He scanned the people around him, and finally his eyes fell on the empty seat beside Chen Yuanzhen.

"It's better to let Xu'er sit next to Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen is not very old, and Xu'er and sister-in-law will not be bored together."

"Ah? This..."

Although Chen Yuanzhen couldn't wish for this, she still had to maintain her personality in front of the Chen family, so she put on a reluctant look. She wanted to shirk it, but at this time Chen Zhishan said:

"You don't want to?"

"Ah? No, why don't you want to?" Chen Yuanzhen pretended to be frightened, and quickly waved, "Xu'er, come here."

Ji Xu's heart was of course happy, and he ran to Chen Yuanzhen's side and sat down.

Everyone sat down and started serving food.The Chen family's own private chefs are all recruited from restaurants and restaurants with a lot of money, and the dishes are no different from top restaurants in terms of style and taste.There are a lot of people eating today, and the chefs are cooking in different ways. The dishes on the table are already dazzling.

But in a family like the Chen family, which meal would really focus on food?No matter how good the dishes are, they are just a foil.

Sure enough, before the dishes were ready, Chen Yuanshuo, who had long disliked Gao Xiu, was the first to attack.

He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, and a white light flashed across the lens, and his cold eyes became soft again at this moment.

"Gao Li is a busy person. I waited in your office for several hours a while ago, and in the end I forced your little assistant to kick me out."

The little assistant Chen Yuanshuo was talking about was Ji Cixi, Chen Yuanzhen's heart skipped a beat, and the knife and fork he had picked up was put back again.

"Look at what you said. My assistant also has a famous family name. Assistant Ji is not very talkative, but he is a smart person. She asked you to go back that day because she knew that I would not be back in a short time, and she didn't want you to wait any longer. That's all. She's a nice person, not just me, even Director Chen knows her. Don't you think so? Director Chen."

Gao Xiu turned to look at Chen Yuanzhen, who raised his head and smiled slightly.

"Gao Lv is a well-known figure in the group, of course I know the people around you."

"Yeah, and as far as I know, you helped me out for Assistant Ji last time?"

Chen Yuanzhen didn't change his face, and said with a smile: "Has this ever happened?"

"What's the matter? Gao Xiu, tell me."

At this time, Chen Zhishan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Chen Yuanzhen glanced at his father subconsciously, and saw him concentrating on cutting the food on the plate, as if concentrating on his own food.

"I also heard this from the personnel department. They said that there was a team leader in the personnel department who made things difficult for Assistant Ji, and Director Chen just told him to pack up and leave."

Chen Zhishan knew about this. At the beginning, Chen Yuanshuo came to him with the surveillance video and planned to participate in Chen Yuanzhen's book, but in the end he rejected it.

"So it's because he made things difficult for Gao Xiu's assistant?" Chen Zhishan looked at Chen Yuanzhen, "I saw that video, third child, your temper is not small."

As soon as Chen Yuanzhen heard Chen Zhishan say that he had seen the video, he knew that Chen Yuanshuo had shown the video to Chen Zhishan.But looking at Chen Zhishan's slow look, he probably didn't intend to use the video to embarrass himself, so he readily admitted:

"I was also upset that day. I heard that person insulting Assistant Ji as soon as I got off the elevator. They are all girls. I definitely can't listen to that kind of words."

"Even so, Yuan Zhen, you are too impulsive." Chen Yuanshuo said unwillingly, "It's also because you are not a man, otherwise this group is so big, you, a senior executive, dismissed old employees for the sake of a female assistant, and the rumors would be less Got it?"

"Rumours?" Chen Yuanzhen smiled disdainfully, "That person slandered the relationship between Assistant Ji and Gao Lv first, if I didn't deal with him that day, what about the rumors that Gao Lv would have to bear in the future?"

"But you also..."

Chen Yuanshuo wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a crisp sound, and Chen Zhishan tapped the dishes twice with the spoon in his hand.

"Today is a family banquet, but you are so anxious to chat with other people, you are really boring." Chen Zhishan said and looked at Chen Yuanshuo, "You started this remark, you have to accept the punishment."

After finishing speaking, Xu Gong who was sitting next to Chen Zhishan stood up, picked up a bottle of white wine on the table, walked over to Chen Yuanshuo, and filled a small cup for him.

"You have to be punished."

"This... Dad, I came here by car today."

After he finished speaking, Cui Jinxian smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just drive." She pretended to look angrily at Chen Yuanshuo as she spoke.

"If you have nothing to say, if you say something disappointing, you should be punished!"
