Chapter 601 You are the groom’s father, then who am I?
"Crazy woman! Country people are country people." Chen Mingli cursed and ran away.
Li Ting was from a small third or fourth tier city. Although she was good looking, she was often criticized by Chen Mingli for her identity issues.
Generally, people who have no special abilities will try to find something on themselves to satisfy their sense of superiority. After searching for a long time, Chen Mingli could only find that he was born in Qinhuai, which he could use to show off.
"Hey, why did you marry someone who is almost my age? Should he call me brother or dad in the future?" In a Rolls-Royce, Zhang Xuan's father, Zhang Yide, sighed while touching the seat of the luxurious car.
To be honest, he still couldn't accept this reality in his heart.
He felt that his daughter marrying a man of similar age to her parents was no different than finding a young gangster outside.
"What's the big deal? When women look for a husband, don't they only look at material conditions? Do they have to find a poor handsome guy? I think Xuanxuan's choice is the right one. She is different from other silly women. It is wise for her to choose a rich man." A young man next to Zhang Yide said.
This is Zhang Xuan’s cousin Zhang Yan.
"She's not your daughter, so of course you say that. Think about it, Chen Yifeng is about the same age as me. If he gets old and dies in a few years, what will happen to my daughter?"
"What else can I do? Isn't this a good thing? I have the money. What era is it now? My man dies and I am still a widow. Can't I just find another one?" Zhang Yan spread his hands. He didn't know why his uncle was so depressed.
"I heard that Chen Yifeng has a son. If he dies, he might not even get a share of the inheritance. Besides, rich people are smart. Don't you think Chen Yifeng has never thought about this? If he finds another one, wouldn't that mean Chen Yifeng is helping others raise a child..."
"Haha, a woman gives her youth and a man pays money, it's just a deal. Uncle, why can't you let it go? I think this is a good deal. Think about it, our family is so poor, and now we can soar to the sky with this man, isn't it good?"
"Don't give me that. You just want to rely on Xiaoxuan to gain benefits and want Chen Yifeng to help you in your career."
"We are all family, there is no point in talking about getting along well or not. Things have already come to this, why are you still hesitating about it? Can you go back on your word and cancel the wedding? They have even got the marriage certificate and are now a legal couple. I think now we should think about how to get Chen Yifeng to help the Zhang family..." Zhang Yan's mind is now full of thoughts of making money with the help of his sister.
The current Zhang family is similar to the former Chen family, both of them are poor. Chen Yifeng never dreamed that his method of turning things around would be used by others, and even used on him.
It really proves the old saying that sooner or later you will pay for what you have done.
"Well, I hope Xuanxuan can give birth to a boy." Zhang Yide sighed.
In the perception of ordinary people, they think that rich people care a lot about whether there is a boy to take over the next generation. This is completely brainwashed by TV dramas.
In fact, with the development of the times, people's concept of favoring boys over girls has changed, especially people in cities, who no longer care about passing on the family line.
The thinking of rich people is even more different. For example, Chen Yifeng doesn’t care at all whether his family or company can continue.
His idea is that it is impossible for every next generation to be capable. As the saying goes, wealth cannot last for more than three generations, so it is better to live a good life by yourself.
There are many big bosses who have no sons and only have daughters, but they live happily.
Only people in remote areas worry about whether to have a boy or a girl.
"Haha, wouldn't it be better if Xiaoxuan could have more children?" Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw his uncle's sad face.
"We have family planning policy now, how can we have two children in the city?" Zhang Yide glared.
“Nowadays, there are many rich people who secretly give birth to more than two children. It’s just a fine.” Zhang Yan curled his lips in disdain.
There was nothing wrong with what he said. In his previous life, Zhang Xuan gave birth to two children for Chen Yifeng. At that time, the second child policy was not yet implemented, so Chen Yifeng directly let Zhang Xuan go to Hong Kong to give birth to the children.
"You think my daughter is a sow, and you gave birth to more children." Zhang Yide looked at his nephew with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, uncle, we're at the hotel." Zhang Yan pointed outside the car window.
"There really are foreigners coming. I thought Chen Yifeng was bragging." Zhang Yide rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He had never seen foreigners many times in his life, but today a lot of foreigners came, which made him very excited.
How could he not have any reaction to such a face-saving thing? All his previous dissatisfaction had disappeared at this moment.
"Uncle, you are so excited by these foreigners. Calm down. You are attending today as the father-in-law. You must remain calm, otherwise the Chen family will look down on us. We have to pretend that it doesn't matter."
"Yeah."
When Zhang Yide heard his nephew's reminder, he quickly nodded in agreement.
The next second, he straightened his clothes and got out of the car.
After all, Zhang Yide was a leader in the newspaper. Even after regaining his composure, he still put on some pretense.
"Hello, how old are you?" Zhang Yide wanted to show off his English, so he took the initiative to greet a foreigner.
"Uncle, it's How are you." Zhang Yan pulled his clothes.
"What's the difference? I feel the same."
"The man in the turban was stunned for a moment, then marked a sentence in Arabic.
"What is he saying? It doesn't sound like English."
"I don't understand either. Foreigners have many different bird languages."
The two men looked at each other and could only smile awkwardly at the man in the turban.
"Kevin, Xiaofeng is the most capable one in our Chen family. He even invited foreigners." In a corner of the hotel, Chen Kaiwu and his younger brother were chatting while smoking.
"It's okay." Chen Kaiwen lowered his head and smoked silently.
"Why aren't you happy at all about your son's wedding?"
"What is there to be happy about? The happy ones should be the Zhang family. If all the second brother's property was taken away, wouldn't we have been working for others for so many years?" Chen Kaiwen muttered unhappily.
In the Chen family, Chen Kaiwen was probably the only one who really didn't want the two to get married, and he had been trying his best to stop it for so many years.
But he couldn't control his son at all, so he could only give up.
Although the others said they were against this marriage, they all changed their minds when Chen Yifeng offered benefits.
"Are you afraid that the guy named Zhang will swindle the money and Chen Xi will not be able to take over?" Chen Kaiwu asked.
"That's not certain. I don't know what's wrong with the second son's brain. He already has a son, but he wants to get married again. Wouldn't that mean he will have two or three more people in the future? The more people there are, the more trouble there will be. It's because I took this detour that I don't want him to go down this path again."
"There's nothing we can do. Sons always think they are better than their fathers. They think our ideas are outdated. Isn't that how we treated our fathers in the past?"
The two are brothers, and they were scolded by their father before. When they were young, they were definitely not convinced. Now that they are old, thinking about what their father said, there is still some truth in it.
Chen Kaiwen had three sons and Chen Kaiwu had two sons. The family was not well-off before, so this was such a troublesome matter. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
"Chen Xi is the eldest grandson in the family. Things must fall into his hands in the future." Chen Kaiwen exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
However, his idea was gradually changed by Chen Yifeng in his previous life.
In his previous life, Chen Yifeng felt that his two younger children were not recognized by the Chen family, so he slandered Chen Xi everywhere, hoping that his family would accept the two little ones.
Chen Xi was abroad and sometimes did not even return home for the New Year. Over time, Chen Yifeng really succeeded.
But not everyone in the Chen family is blind. For example, Chen Kaiwu and Chen Lihua even refused Chen Yifeng's visit during the Chinese New Year.
"Xiao Feng has such a big business, he is not a fool, right? Why does he trust this woman so much? I think he is a smart man, he will definitely keep the money in his own hands." Chen Kaiwu comforted his brother.
"Come on, he was quite smart before, but since he started dating this woman, he has even stopped caring about the factory. He has become stupid. I heard that he even bought a villa for her. His brain must have been kicked by a donkey.
Caiyue is still the best. She never complained about his poverty before. She definitely didn’t come here for money. Yes, we didn’t have any money at that time…” Chen Kaiwen sighed.
There were already two big fools among these three sons, and now the only smart one has also become a fool.
Although Chen Kaiwen did not have any great abilities, he worked as a factory director in a Chinese company for a period of time. He was a stubborn person, so he did not make much money, but in that era, anyone who could become a factory director could not be stupid.
"Okay, be happy, otherwise if someone sees you, they will talk about you. By the way, have you met your in-laws?" Chen Kaiwu patted his brother's shoulder. "Meet your in-laws!" Chen Kaiwu patted his brother's shoulder. "Meet your in-laws!" I get angry when I talk about this. How can a son get married but his parents have never met his in-laws? If this gets out, I'm sure people will laugh at me. By the way, the woman's father seems to be about the same age as the second brother. He probably doesn't even have the face to meet me."
"Hahaha, that does make sense. The age gap is too big. Xiao Feng is embarrassed to bring him to meet you. If you two met, would he call you brother?" Chen Kaiwu was amused by his brother's words.
"Hey, how are you?
Fine thank you, my oil?
Haha, Xiaoyan, do you think I speak these few sentences of English well?" Zhang Yide greeted a group of foreigners with a smile, then turned to look at his nephew.
"Uncle, you are indeed a cultured person, worthy of being the leader of a newspaper. I have only taught you for a while, and you speak better than me. I'm going to the toilet first..." Zhang Yan flattered him, then walked inside, holding his stomach.
"This kid, a lazy donkey is just a waste of shit!" Zhang Yide cursed with a smile, and then began to greet those strangers: "Welcome, welcome, you must have a good time and eat well today!"
"Who is that guy? Why does he greet everyone?" Chen Kaiwen looked at Zhang Yide not far away with a puzzled look on his face.
"I don't know. Could it be some leader called by Xiao Feng?" Chen Kaiwu scratched his head.
"No way, I've seen Wu Wanrong and Qin Feilong before. They've both been to the factory before."
"That might be some small leader."
"No, he doesn't have that smell of a leader. He looks more like someone who comes here to get free food and drinks. Aren't there always people who come here to get free food and drinks at every wedding? There are a lot of people like this in the countryside..."
"I saw him even saying hello to foreigners!"
"They are all pretending. There are so many scammers nowadays." Chen Kaiwen waved his hand.
"I'm going to the toilet. I'm old, and my kidneys are not in good condition." Chen Kaiwu said to his brother, turned around and left.
"go Go."
"Welcome, welcome, you must have fun and eat well today!" Soon, Zhang Yide walked in front of Chen Kaiwen.
He held out his hand and said with a big smile on his face.
"You are..." Chen Kaiwen pointed at him.
"I'm the groom's father!"
"Fuck, you're really a guy who's here to eat and drink for free. You're the groom's father, then who am I?" Chen Kaiwen got angry when he heard this.
"Huh? Why are you scolding me? How would I know who you are? Anyway, I am the father of the groom. How come you come here to attend the wedding and don't know the rules?" Zhang Yide said angrily after being scolded.
Upstairs in the hotel.
"Xuanxuan, you look so beautiful today." said the bridesmaid standing in front of the dressing table.
Zhang Xuan is dressed a little too maturely today. To be honest, after removing her makeup, she is not very outstanding, but her figure is still okay.
She is a woman with a larger frame and is quite tall.
"Haha, am I not pretty?" Zhang Xuan asked calmly, looking at the classmate who once said bad things about her in private.
"How could that be?" The bridesmaid smiled awkwardly.
The two of them are usually good friends on the surface, but they are not very harmonious in private. This person is also very interesting. They are not that close, but when one of them becomes successful, the other will become a lapdog for the sake of the desired benefits.
"I know you all looked down on me in the past. But I am a magnanimous person. There is a saying that goes, 'When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.' Now that I am successful, I will naturally not forget you." Zhang Xuan looked at the other bridesmaids.
On the one hand, she was calling these people chickens and dogs, and on the other hand, she wanted to show off in front of others.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our Xuanxuan is very generous."
"That's right. My husband's business will need your help in the future."
"My work..."
Instead of feeling embarrassed, the bridesmaids licked Zhang Xuan on the face. If Chen Xi saw this, he would definitely ridicule her.
"No problem, no problem! We are all friends." Zhang Xuan laughed proudly.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, congratulations, congratulations!"
"I just rushed over after a meeting. There are regulations, so I will only give this wedding gift..."
"My boss took time out of his busy schedule to attend my wedding. This is the greatest blessing for me. I didn't even set aside any money for wedding gifts today..."
At the hotel entrance, Chen Yifeng shook hands warmly with Wu Wanrong and Qin Feilong who had rushed over.
Generally, when a big boss has a wedding, he or she would invite some leaders to attend and let them say a few words, which is considered a very face-saving thing. Chen Yifeng is no exception.
"Dear Leo, we meet again." At the hotel front desk, an Arab man dressed in white gave Leo a warm hug.
"Hassan, you are here too." Leo asked in surprise.
He had just arrived in Xinlu, and he didn't expect that Chen Yifeng would call the Middle Eastern people over as well. You know, these people had come here from a very long distance.
"There's no other way. Feng called me and asked me to be there. After all, I'm your old customer. If I don't give you this face, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the equipment in the future~" Ali's tone sounded a little strange.
Leo immediately heard that the Arab was somewhat dissatisfied with the purchase of equipment.
"Haha, there are too many orders. There are so many companies around the world that need machines, but our annual output is limited, so you usually need to queue." Leo showed an apologetic expression.
"It's okay, I can pay more!"
"Well...it's not a matter of adding money. It's that our production can't keep up with the demand from global customers."
"Really? I heard Feng's ex-wife also set up a machine tool equipment factory. How is the quality there?"
"It was originally a brand under the group, but now they are doing independent research and development. I don't know the specific situation." Leo shook his head.
"According to what I heard, the reason why Feng was able to cooperate with your Deutsche was because of his ex-wife's relationship in the early years. Now that they are divorced, won't your cooperation be affected?" Ali asked in a mean way.
"No, business is all about profit. As long as there is money to be made, why should we terminate the cooperation?"
"So this means that if Feng can't bring you benefits in the future, you will terminate your cooperation with Huade?"
"Hmm? What exactly do you want to ask?"
Leo was a little confused as to why this Arab man suddenly asked such a sensitive question.
You know, today is Chen Yifeng’s wedding, and the real owner is still here.
"I'm just asking casually. Since it's a brand under Huade, it must have inherited some of Huade's excellent performance. To be honest, I really can't stand waiting in line every time."
"There is nothing we can do about this. There is a saying in China that goes, 'You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.' In Chinese cuisine, there are many delicacies that require time and careful preparation.
It takes time to create high-quality products. If we mass-produce inferior products, there won’t be so many customers lining up to buy them.
In the global market, there are still many brands of machine tools, but there are only a few that can rank high. Especially here, you see there are so many brands, but do you dare to buy them?
What your company needs is a high-precision airport, and the equipment in the low-end market simply cannot meet your needs..."
"Okay, okay, Leo, I'm just asking casually. I feel that Feng doesn't seem to have focused on the machine tool business in the past two years. Why is the output getting lower year by year?
If this continues, when will I be able to buy a machine? The last time I bought a machine, I spent millions to buy his paintings. The Arab recalled the last transaction, and he couldn't remember when it was. (End of this chapter)
