Chapter 240 Chen Yan, why are you here?
This was the first time Chen Yan met He Ruifeng.
Chen Yan was very interested in the richest man in Qindao, whom he had only seen in the news.
After all, He Ruifeng is also a legend.
If his father He Mu was the founder of the He family, then He Ruifeng was the one who brought the He family to its current peak.
It was when the Wutong Group could clearly make a fortune by relying on OEM and the cheap labor force in the country at that time, he asked the group to set up a research and development department, develop a new generation of technology, and register new patented technologies in various countries so that the Wutong Group would no longer be controlled by others. This is how the He family is today.
It has to be said that in that era, He Ruifeng was the one who held up the banner of domestic manufacturing.
Of course Chen Yan would be very curious about such a famous person.
While Chen Yan was looking at He Ruifeng, a long convoy slowly drove into the manor and stopped at the gate of the banquet hall.
The second generation group that Chen Yan belonged to also began to discuss quietly, "Here they come. The Zhao family is here."
"Yes. It's really noble. You have to come on time."
"But they are one of the largest financial groups in the country, so it's normal for them to be so arrogant."
While others were discussing, Qin Ming came to Chen Yan at some point.
He whispered to Chen Yan, "It is said that the arrangement is that my uncle and his friends will entertain the big boss of the Zhao Group, and then my cousin will entertain the eldest daughter of the Zhao family."
"Brother Chen, do you want to meet him?"
Chen Yan glanced at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming's face was full of smiles, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
But Chen Yan felt that he was testing him.
So Chen Yan just shook his head and said nothing.
While the two were chatting, the cars stopped one by one. The back seats of the second car were opened, and two middle-aged men in black suits hurriedly walked to the front of the extended Lincoln, then stood on both sides of the car and respectfully opened the doors on both sides.
The car door opened and the first person to get out of the car was Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan still had the same smiling face as when Chen Yan saw him. Even though he was wearing a formal suit and shiny leather shoes, he still looked like Maitreya Buddha, harmless to humans and animals.
And then, Zhao Ying got out from the other side of the car.
Zhao Ying was dressed very beautifully today, wearing a gorgeous little dress that revealed her snow-white shoulders. She had light makeup on her face, which was simple and elegant but beautiful, completely different from the chubby look Chen Yan usually saw her in.
If she usually looks like a silly boy, then now she looks like a fairy banished to the mortal world.
It’s just… this fairy looks lifeless, with hollow and lifeless eyes, as if she has lost her soul.
Chen Yan didn't know what the girl who was full of spirit had been through these days. But when he recalled the day he went to her house, she had been boxing in the living room, didn't say a word during the meal, only said "thank you" when she left, and smashed her father's car, so he guessed that she... must be having a bad time.
What's more, Yu Qiaoqiao said that she hadn't come to school for a week, which made Chen Yan feel even more suspicious.
That smiling Zhao Xuan obviously seemed to dote on Zhao Ying, but why did it become like this now?
While Chen Yan was in the crowd, deep in thought, he could hear the second generation's discussions.
"Wow. Is this the eldest daughter of the Zhao family?"
"She's very beautiful."
"But he doesn't look very energetic."
"Yes, yes."
Amid the murmurs in the background , Zhao Xuan took his daughter's arm and walked towards the banquet hall with a smile on his face.
When he was still three steps away from the stairs, He Ruifeng also walked down with a smile, then stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Zhao Xuan, long time no see!"
Zhao Xuan let go of Zhao Ying's hand, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with He Ruifeng, "Brother Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met. The last time was probably the year before last."
He Ruifeng, "Yes."
After saying this, he looked at Zhao Ying and said, "This should be your daughter Zhao Ying, right?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Yes. It's my daughter."
As he spoke, he patted Zhao Ying on the shoulder and said, "Yingying. Call me Uncle He."
Zhao Ying looked at He Ruifeng with lifeless eyes, quickly covered her chest, bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle He."
She was graceful in her manners and looked beautiful.
He Ruifeng laughed twice, "Okay, okay."
After saying that, he looked to the side.
He Mengxue, who had been in the front row, quickly took two steps forward and said, "Father."
Then, she also bowed to Zhao Xuan, "Hello, Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Xuan's eyes narrowed even more as he smiled, "Hello."
He Ruifeng said to his daughter, "Mengxue, take your sister Yingying to attend the banquet for young people. Your uncle Zhao and I have something to discuss."
He Mengxue nodded quickly, then came to Zhao Ying, stretched out her hand and guided her, "Sister Ying, come this way."
Zhao Ying nodded expressionlessly, followed He Mengxue through the crowd and walked forward.
Zhao Xuan and He Ruifeng also walked forward hand in hand, talking and laughing.
Those rich kids and wealthy people involuntarily split into two groups. One group prepared to follow He Mengxue and Zhao Ying to the banquet hall, and the other group prepared to follow He Ruifeng and Zhao Xuan to go upstairs.
Chen Yan also followed the crowd and walked towards the banquet hall, hoping to find an opportunity to chat with Zhao Ying.
And just when he wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Zhao Ying, who had been walking forward with lifeless eyes, accidentally caught a glimpse of his voice in the crowd.
Zhao Ying, who originally had no soul, seemed to be suddenly injected with a soul. She couldn't help but call out softly, "Chen Yan?"
Although Zhao Ying's voice was very low, no one was talking at the scene, so the people present still heard her words clearly.
The crowd stopped and looked in the direction Zhao Ying was looking.
Zhao Xuan, who was not far away, also heard Zhao Ying's voice and stopped.
Seeing that the two protagonists of today had stopped, the people present also stopped and looked over.
After Zhao Ying accidentally called out, she realized that she was being rude: today was a crucial meeting between her father and the wealthy people in Qindao.
So she quickly lowered her head and dared not speak.
If Chen Yan was an unknown person, perhaps she could hide it this way, but Chen Yan was the only outsider today besides Zhao Ying and her daughter.
The second generation already knew his name.
So even though she covered it up, the second generation's eyes still couldn't help but focus on him.
At this time, Zhao Xuan also saw Chen Yan in the crowd.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and then in an instant they turned into a full smile.
He nodded to He Ruifeng as an apology, then smiled and said to Chen Yan, "Xiao Yan, you are here too?"
Following Zhao Xuan's words, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chen Yan.
The second generation were a little surprised and confused, not knowing why an ordinary citizen like Chen Yan would be related to the huge Zhao family. The wealthy people who didn't know Chen Yan's identity looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes: they didn't know Chen Yan, nor did they know who Chen Yan was.
Among them, only Qin Ming, who had been staying next to Chen Yan, had a smile on his face: As expected... the identity of Brother Chen is not ordinary.
Seeing that no one present knew Chen Yan, He Ruifeng, as the host, took the initiative to ask, "Brother Zhao? What is this...?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and waved .
Chen Yan, who felt that the situation was out of control, could only walk to his side. Qin Ming also followed him out.
Zhao Xuan put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulders, patted him, and introduced him to He Ruifeng with a smile, "This is my nephew. He is a good friend of Yingying."
He Ruifeng nodded and looked at Qin Ming who followed him.
Qin Ming also introduced, "Uncle, Chen Yan is my friend. He has been a little bored recently, so I invited him to our banquet."
Zhao Xuan said to Chen Yan with a smile, "Xiao Yan, if I had known that you were interested in the banquet, I would have asked you to come along."
Chen Yan laughed awkwardly twice.
With Zhao Xuan's confirmation of the identity and Qin Ming's explanation, He Ruifeng smiled and said, "I see. He is one of us. That's good, good."
Zhao Xuan also laughed twice, then patted Chen Yan on the back and said, "Xiao Yan, go and accompany Yingying. I'll go hang out with your Uncle He and the others first."
And what can Chen Yan say?
Although he didn't know why Zhao Xuan wanted to give him an additional identity, Chen Yan could only agree at this time, "Okay, Uncle Zhao."
The incident has passed, but the storm is still going on...
After the wealthy people left, the second generation who had been indifferent to Chen Yan just now changed their attitude and came forward to make friends with Chen Yan...
