Chen Xiaolong didn't care about Yang Ming's words. He just snorted coldly and turned his face away. He felt that Yang Ming was a bit unreasonable, and even a little arrogant!
Indeed, if it were four years ago when he was still in high school, he would definitely be very afraid of Yang Ming. School life and now were two different things. In school, whoever had a harder fist was more powerful. But in society, who had a harder fist? He just had to throw out some money casually, and there would be people who would help him.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor with a "ding". Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan followed behind the crowd and walked out of the elevator. Chen Mengyan held Yang Ming's hand tightly. It was obvious that Chen Mengyan was very nervous. Yang Ming smiled comfortingly, "It's nothing. I won't act rashly. At least, I won't make things difficult for Uncle Chen."
Yang Ming knew that Chen Mengyan was not worried that Yang Ming would do something unexpected, but that Yang Ming would do something impulsive in anger. At that time, Chen Fei would also be there, and it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
Chen Mengyan was relieved when she saw that Yang Ming understood her meaning.
The entire sixth floor was a banquet hall. At this time, many people had already arrived. They were sitting in the banquet hall's seats, chatting in groups of three to five. When the elevator door opened, everyone looked at the elevator at the same time. When they saw Chen Zhifu coming out from inside, they immediately stopped talking and stood up one after another.
These people were all from the Chen Family Village or people who were still in the village. There were people from all walks of life, but their achievements were not as high as Chen Zhifu's, let alone Chen Zhiye's.
Among them, some people recognized that the man next to Chen Zhifu was Chen Zhiye, and they all showed envious eyes.
Chen Zhifu walked out of the elevator and made a greeting gesture to everyone present. He then introduced, "This is my younger brother, Chen Zhiye, the chairman of the Southern Zhengyuan Import and Export Trading Company!"
Among the people present, most of them came here to flatter Chen Zhifu and Chen Zhiye. They wanted to find some benefits from the two of them, so these people immediately clapped and cheered after hearing Chen Zhifu's introduction.
Chen Zhifu was very satisfied with the current scene and atmosphere. He smiled and nodded to everyone, and continued to introduce, "This is my nephew, Chen Xiaolong!"
Applause rang out again, accompanied by the praises of some people. They praised Chen Xiaolong for his striking appearance, young and promising, and so on. In short, there were all kinds of words, which satisfied Chen Xiaolong's self-esteem like never before.
Chen Xiaolong glanced at Chen Mengyan proudly. He wanted to let Chen Mengyan see how glorious he was now. As long as she followed him, half of this glory would belong to her.
However, Chen Mengyan was indifferent, as if she didn't hear the praise in front of her at all. She was expressionless. Chen Xiaolong was a little depressed in his heart, so he looked at Yang Ming to demonstrate the gap between him and him.
However, it was even more regrettable that Yang Ming's expression did not show any shame or envy. Instead, there was a mocking look on his face, which made the resentment in Chen Xiaolong's heart increase by another level. This Yang Ming doesn't know what's good for him. I have clearly shown that I am a hundred times more capable than him, but he is still indifferent. Does this person really not know what's good for him, or is he arrogant to a certain extent?
Chen Xiaolong snorted helplessly and turned his head. At this time, Chen Zhifu said, "Next, let's welcome our Chen Family Village's old patriarch, Seventh Grandfather Chen!"
As soon as Chen Zhifu's voice fell, the praise for Chen Xiaolong and Chen Zhiye in the dining hall immediately subsided. It could be seen that Seventh Grandfather Chen had a high status in the hearts of the Chen Family Village.
A side door in the dining hall slowly opened. A man of about sixty years old slowly walked out from inside while supporting an old man of about eighty years old. This man of about sixty years old was Chen Zhifu's father, Chen Dahe. He was also the current village chief of the Chen Family Village. The old man of about eighty years old beside him was the old patriarch, Seventh Grandfather Chen!
"Seventh Grandfather!"
"Seventh Uncle!"
"Seventh Great Grandfather!"
… …
The people of the Chen Family Village opened their mouths and greeted him respectfully. There were all kinds of names, but these three were the most common. The others were nothing more than close relatives, such as uncle, grandfather, and so on.
"Seventh Grandfather!" Chen Zhifu and Chen Fei immediately stepped forward. Even Chen Zhiye carefully went over to greet him. It was imaginable how high Seventh Grandfather's status was.
Seventh Grandfather nodded slightly in the midst of everyone's greetings. It could be seen that the old man was very hale and hearty. Although he was in his eighties, he was still very healthy.
The old man saw Chen Zhiye and nodded to him, "Zhiye is back! Good, you have returned home in glory. You did not disgrace our Chen Family Village! "
"This is all thanks to Seventh Grandfather's good education when I was young!" Chen Zhiye said quickly and respectfully. Although he was a billionaire, Seventh Grandfather Chen was a supreme existence in the hearts of all the Chen Family Village people. In the old society, the patriarch of a big family was a god-like existence. His words were not to be disobeyed!
Even if you were a high-ranking official in the imperial court, or even if you were extremely wealthy, when you returned to your hometown, you still had to show the etiquette of a junior to the elders of your clan. Otherwise, you would be considered unfilial and unethical.
Although it was a new era now, this tradition was still maintained in many big families. The Chen Family Village was no exception. Although Chen Zhiye was very influential outside, he was still respectful when he saw Seventh Grandfather Chen after returning.
"En." Seventh Grandfather Chen nodded, and his gaze fell on Chen Fei again. There were only a few outstanding people in the Chen Family Village, so Seventh Grandfather Chen naturally remembered them in his heart. When he chatted with others, he had something to talk about that he was proud of. "Little Feizi, you're here too. I heard that you have already become the bureau chief. You are the highest official in our Chen Family Village now! You and Zhiye are the leaders of the younger generation in our Chen Family Village, one in politics and one in business! "
"Seventh Grandfather, you flatter us." Chen Fei quickly said modestly, "How can we be considered the younger generation? Our child is already twenty years old!"
"That's true!" Seventh Grandfather Chen stroked his beard, then turned to look at Chen Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, do you still recognize Seventh Great Grandfather?"
"Seventh Great Grandfather!" Chen Xiaolong said humbly, "How can Xiaolong not recognize you? When I was young, you carried me to the river to play! At that time, I was still insensible and pulled your beard! "
Chen Xiaolong had already known from his father that the key to the success or failure of the matter between him and Chen Mengyan was Seventh Grandfather's attitude. If Seventh Grandfather facilitated this matter, then with Seventh Grandfather's status in the Chen Family Village, his words carried weight. Even if Chen Fei was unwilling, he had to consider it. Therefore, Chen Xiaolong decided to flatter Seventh Grandfather Chen.
"Hehehehe …" When Seventh Grandfather Chen heard Chen Xiaolong talk about his childhood, Seventh Grandfather Chen couldn't help but be happy. He also thought of the past and touched Chen Xiaolong's head lovingly, "En, in the blink of an eye, the little brat behind Seventh Great Grandfather is going to marry a wife!"
"Seventh Great Grandfather …" Chen Xiaolong deliberately pretended to be young.
"Right, I heard that you have taken a fancy to Little Fei's daughter?" Seventh Grandfather Chen suddenly asked kindly.
"Seventh Great Grandfather, I …" Chen Xiaolong pretended to blush, but in the end, he nodded.
"Hahahaha, good, Seventh Great Grandfather will help you with this matter!" Seventh Grandfather Chen narrowed his eyes and said confidently, "When it comes to matchmaking, eighty percent of the young people in the Chen Family Village were matchmade by me! Even the marriage between Xiao Fei Zi and Xiao Yu was decided by me. Isn't that right, Xiao Fei Zi? "
When Chen Fei heard Seventh Grandfather Chen talking about Chen Xiaolong and Chen Mengyan, his face froze. Just as he was about to say something, he didn't expect Seventh Grandfather Chen to suddenly mention his marriage with Chen Fangyu. He quickly nodded and said with a bitter smile, "Yes, thank you for matchmaking me!"
"En." Seventh Grandfather Chen nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chen Mengyan beside Chen Fei, "This is Little Mengyan, right? Not bad, you have become so beautiful. You look just like your mother back then. No wonder our Xiaolong would like you! "
This Seventh Grandfather Chen was Chen Dahe's Seventh Uncle. He was also Chen Xiaolong's Seventh Great Grandfather, so he was particularly concerned about Chen Xiaolong's matters. When he heard that Chen Xiaolong liked Chen Mengyan, he decided to decide on their marriage!
One must know that the Chen Family Village had a rule that the young men and women in the village should try to find a partner in the village as much as possible and not go to other villages. So when he heard that Chen Xiaolong was looking for Chen Fei's daughter, Chen Mengyan, Seventh Grandfather Chen took on the responsibility without thinking! This made Chen Zhiye and Chen Zhifu very happy. With Seventh Grandfather Chen's appearance, they were not afraid that Chen Fei would say anything.
