Chen Yuanxi would leave for abroad tomorrow. Chen Tianjiao had prepared everything for him, like visa, luggage and ticket, and had found a university that would accept Chen Yuanxi. Chen Yuanxi had to admire Chen Tianjiao's wide connections. Chen Wanxin was assumed to go abroad, but she decided to give it up. She would like to take over her family business while continuing her studies at Jifu University. Even so, Chen Tianjiao had managed to arrange everything in such a short time.
"Dad, I'm going abroad tomorrow. I want to go back to my hometown and walk around. After all, it may be a long time before I come back." It was the first time for Chen Yuanxi to request Chen Tianjiao for it.
Chen Tianjiao closed his eyes and did not answer.
Chen Yuanxi lowered his head slightly and said with a smile, "I know you don't want me to go back because I lived with my adopted father there so many years, but there are trails of mother as well..." He sobbed.
Six years later... At the hotel of the highest building in the CBD of G city, a group of well-dressed people raised their glasses to a man sitting in the middle. They looked at him with admiration. Even in casual clothes, this man had a very impressive bearing. His big eyes were shining under his sword-like brows, his nose was high and straight, and his chin was clean-shaven with a bit of stubble. With his slightly pursed lips, he looked calm and at ease. His broad, square chin was raised a little. He did not refuse anyone's toast and drank one glass of wine after another. "Good for you, Mr. Zhao!" a beautiful young woman said, looking at him affectionately. Mr. Zhao smiled slightly and then emptied the Lafite in his glass. "Wow! Great, Mr. Zhao!" The beautiful woman immediately poured another glass of wine for him. He tapped the table slightly to show his thanks using local etiquette. By the time the banquet ende
Zhao Yuan did not know who Mr. Chen was, but he thought it might be Lin Wenxi. However, based on the photo, he could tell that Mr. Chen was already about forty years old. Even if Lin Wenxi had had plastic surgery, he would not look like this. Shu Xiaoman, however, knew that this Mr. Chen was only the acting deputy general manager of BC Company whose surname happened to be Chen. The real general manager, Mr. Chen, had just returned to China, and it would be some time before he took the position. She knew this because Chen Wanxin had come to her a few days ago. "It's time for you to give up. Am I right?" Chen Wanxin said with a smile, grabbing her hand affectionately. "Yes. You should be satisfied!" "What makes you think so? As my roommate from university, I'm one of the few people in the world who care about you. In any case, I wish you would marry him. I wish Brother Yuan would stop getting involved with him. Otherwise, Brother
Chen Yuanxi still wore a polite smile on his face. Shu Xiaoman cleared her throat and squeezed out a standard business smile. She took the business card from Chen Yuanxi with her hand and gave her business card to him, lowering her head slightly. "Oh! You're from YH Company. You can discuss it with my assistant in detail for orders because he should be clearer about that. If you want to talk to me about something personal—" Chen Yuanxi looked at his watch and said, "you have 10 minutes." "Mr. Chen, since I'm neither your relative nor your friend, how can I have anything personal to talk to you about? Please arrange for your assistant to discuss it with me." Chen Yuanxi fell into silence for about three seconds before he called someone and gave an order about something. Then he asked the driver to take Shu Xiaoman to the office. After hesitating for a short moment, Shu Xiaoman got into the car and sat in the passen
"Young master, which side are you on?" Luo Yang asked, looking at Chen Yuanxi half-smiling. "Luo Yang, if you have the guts, you can drive the bulldozer over me. If you dare not do this, shut up now! Don't let our men take the blame for you!" Chen Yuanxi said in a harsh voice. Then he helped the dean into the room. After an hour, Chen Yuanxi walked out slowly with a contract in his hand. He said, "Luo Yang, leave them a week to move out. If you would like to come back in seven days, I won't stop you." Luo Yang was shocked. He could not believe that the nail-house holder, whom he had spent a long time trying to persuade to move out, signed a contract with Chen Yuanxi after half an hour's negotiation! Luo Yang had always been arrogant, and the householders were either afraid of him or hated him, so at the beginning, they were in a mood of resistance, and they were not patient to read the files. Besides, Luo Yang's men were aggres
Just when Chen Yuanxi returned to the Chen family's courtyard in the county, he asked Zhang Dong to clean the stones in the back garden. "But that is our business," a relative of the Chen family said while smiling on one side. "Busybody," Chen Yuanxi said lightly. "Sometimes, the young master will go to play in the back garden. What if he strikes his head? As his bodyguard, I should not only block knives for him but also take preventive measures." With this, Zhang Dong returned to get the hoe. "To show your sincerity, you'd better clean the stones by your hands," Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. The few distant relatives of the Chen family who were also the bodyguards said nothing against Chen Yuanxi, but they felt anxious in their hearts. All of them knew who Zhang Dong was. They heard something about him. It was already a waste of Zhang Dong's talent when he was directly being put on the most basic but life-riskin
The YH Company. Zhao Yuan was lying in the soft seat of the president. The ashtray on the table was filled with a lot of cigarette butts. Subordinates who were here to report their work stood in a row outside the door, but none of them dared to go in to disturb him. Zhao Yuan threw away the last cigarette butt and gave a little whistle. "In any case, I have to meet this person!" Without informing Xiaoman, he booked a plane ticket and flew directly to the county's airport. As Zhao Yuan was about to get married soon, an idea struck him. So he returned to his former residence in Yangzi County and wandered around the place. Then, another inexplicable impulse seized him. Immediately, Zhao Yuan rented a car and drove to Tianfu Village. All the houses of the old government compound were pulled down to make room for a new row of small western-style buildings. The construction materials for these buildings came from the branch establish
Chen Wanxin agreed Zhao Yuan's requests without much hesitation. But it made her feel helpless and her parents very angry that Zhao Yuan had sent the wedding invitations to so many people. Things were becoming more complicated. In a new information age, a lot of things that were under control could be made public at any time. Besides, the government strengthened oversight over the collection of betrothal gifts for officials and their spending on various items. Chen Tianjiao and his wife had not expected that the news about their daughter's marriage spread so quickly half a month before the wedding. Everybody knew that the secretary of the small city, Chen Tianjiao's daughter would get married to a young general manager of a new company. Their wedding photos could be seen on G City and the small city's local webs. One of them was the daughter of a high-rank official, another one was a young, handsome and capable general manager.
While running forward, Chen Yuanxi was embraced by Zhao Yuan from behind and dragged to the back of the stage. Before Zhao Yuan could say something, Zheng Kai grabbed his collar with anger. "Zhao Yuan, You b*stard!" He shouted. Zhao Yuan did not say anything but turned his head and looked at Chen Yuanxi. Chen Yuanxi raised his head, looking at Zheng Kai, his eyes as calm as water. "F*ck! It's you, Wenxi!" Zheng Kai slowly let go of Zhao Yuan. He looked at Chen Yuanxi with hesitation. "My name is Chen Yuanxi." Chen Yuanxi corrected Zheng Kai coldly. He was extremely calm as he looked at Zheng Kai. Zheng Kai gave him a hug and shouted, "Cut the crap! Where have you been all these years? You look even more handsome!" He then pushed Chen Yuanxi away and gave him a heavy punch. "I'll deal with you later!" With that, he hurried to the stage. Everything became quiet. After a short while, Zheng Kai's voice rang out on the
