"This... Since Elder Han has shown such sincerity, then... you should put it on."
Chen Jianguo looked at Elder Han, feeling a wave of confusion in his heart. He couldn’t figure out what Elder Han was really up to, what sort of sche he was playing. It seed as though he intended to show goodwill towards him, but Chen simply couldn’t think of any reason why Elder Han would want to help him. Not to ntion, his usual interactions with the Han Family weren’t particularly close, even if they were, the guests standing around, as well as those who had turned off their phones, pretending not to recognize his voice upon hearing it, weren’t they all examples?
Moreover, even if the Jianguo Group hadn’t encountered this trouble with the Li Family, at its peak, there was no need for Elder Han to show him any kindness, was there?
The foundation of the Han Family was not sothing the seemingly mighty but actually unstable Jianguo Group could compare to.
The Li Family was already so powerful, and the Han Family’s ranking was even above that of the Li in the Zhao, Han, Li and Zeng families!
But no matter what, since he had shown this intention, naturally Chen couldn’t refuse it. Besides, although the bracelet was valuable, he could still afford it.
"Thank you, Grandpa Han, thank you Sister Han!"
Upon hearing her father’s words, Chen Xue obediently took the bracelet from Han Lu’s hand and bowed to both Elder Han and Han Lu to express her thanks, before carefully slipping the bracelet onto her wrist.
"Good, beautiful, beautiful!"
Watching Chen Xue put on the snow jade bracelet, Elder Han couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes, praising her repeatedly. Although he had previously stated that Chen Xue was the most suitable to wear this bracelet, those words had carried a polite tone, but unexpectedly, Chen Xue, with her natural beauty, truly suited the bracelet.
Chen Xue, already dressed up for the occasion, seed to release a stunning charm the mont she put on the bracelet. Especially her wrist with the bracelet appeared incredibly radiant, enhancing the beauty of her fair hand in contrast.
Standing beside her, Han Lu and the other guests couldn’t help but show a look of admiration in their eyes, with so of the lady guests even revealing outright envy.
A delighted expression appeared on Chen Xue’s face as she looked at the bracelet in her hand, her fondness obvious and too strong to hide. After all, she was still a young girl, and the love of beauty is a nature shared by all girls.
"You two, well done."
While everyone was captivated by the beautiful bracelet on Chen Xue’s wrist, Elder Han suddenly turned his head and, with a smile in his eyes, looked at Fatty Tang’s parents, giving them an approving nod.
You two, well done!
Just these simple four words!
Yet these four words, in an instant, were like a bomb detonating, sending a buzz through the crowd.
The guests in the crowd, looking at Fatty Tang’s parents, couldn’t help but reveal a look of envy on their faces.
This country bumpkin couple had actually received praise from Elder Han!
It seed they had even caught Elder Han’s eye!
All gazes were bloodshot, as if they could burst into flas.
None of the people standing here were fools, and by this mont, if they still couldn’t understand what Elder Han’s presence ant, then they might as well have lived in vain!
Making a special trip to personally bring such an expensive gift to Chen Xue, being so amiable and cordial, and showing favor to this couple who had been the first to show goodwill to Chen Jianguo... all these actions and gestures... had made Elder Han’s stance crystal clear!
At that mont, everyone’s hearts were inevitably filled with regret and frustration.
They silently cursed themselves, wondering why they hadn’t been more decisive or why they hadn’t heard any rumors in advance. If they had known that the Han Family was on Chen Jianguo’s side, they would have made a decisive vote and now they would have been the ones praised by Elder Han, catching his attention!
"Haha, Chen, I hope you don’t mind dropping by uninvited!"
Just as everyone was still in utter shock at Elder Han’s arrival, a hearty laugh ca from the entrance of the living room.
"Old Qian?"
Hearing this voice, Chen Jianguo’s gaze once again turned toward the entrance, and his expression beca surprised as he saw the robust and the thin figures striding in.
The two n who had entered were the brothers from the Qian family of nearby D City, Qian Fuchen and Qian Fuyu!
These two were not strangers to him at all. Jianguo Group’s business had expanded to such a degree that it could not possibly be confined to G City, and there were business connections with many nearby cities and even many inland provinces in the north. The cooperation between them and several families in nearby D City was very extensive, and they had nurous partnerships with the Qian family.
However, their private relationship wasn’t particularly close, and since they were not from G City, he had not sent them an invitation. To his surprise, they had taken the initiative to show up!
"What, Chen, you’re not welcoming ?"
Qian Fuchen looked at Chen Jianguo with a gentle smile on his face.
"How could that be, Old Qian? You’re making jokes. Old Qian, you are a guest I could only hope for, and for you to take ti out of your busy schedule to co here is truly an honor for . It brightens up the place, haha, it brightens up the place!"
Chen Jianguo finally regained his composure and laughed heartily in response.
Compared to Elder Han, he was more familiar with Qian Fuchen and spoke more casually with him.
The other guests in the living room, hearing Chen Jianguo’s voice, finally ca back to their senses, and with surprise and shock on their faces, they looked at the Qian brothers.
They had never expected that these two would also appear here, and from the looks of it, they seed to be on Chen Jianguo’s side just like Elder Han!
At this mont, their hearts were filled with utter regret; they realized that they had made a wrong choice. Jianguo Group was far from as fragile as these smart-alecks had imagined!
Their network of relationships was also much stronger than theirs!
No wonder Jianguo Group had risen so quickly from within the narrow gaps between the Four Great Families in G City!
It turned out that behind them, they had the support of old families like the Han Family! The Li Family might be powerful, but the strength of the Han Family was no less, not to ntion the Qian Family!
Each of them couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat...
Fortunately, they had not yet directly expressed their stance, and there was still a chance.
Inwardly, they wiped the sweat from their brows and secretly felt relieved. (To be continued. If you like this work, please co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
