Entertainment from Divorce

Hangzhou, Chen’s Catering Group Building.

Hangzhou has developed very well in recent years and has gradually become a first-tier city, attracting many large groups to move their headquarters here. Chen's Catering Group is one of them.

Chen's Catering Group has a market value of 51 billion and is one of the giants in the domestic catering industry.

Three years ago, Chen's Catering Group moved its headquarters from Beijing to Hangzhou after being attracted by the conditions offered by Hangzhou Investment Promotion Group.

It was already dark at this time, and most employees had gone home after get off work. Only a few floors were still lit.

in the chairman's office.

Chen Xingchao, chairman of Chen's Catering Group, is looking through a batch of documents.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the office door.

Chen Xingchao raised his head and saw that it was his secretary Xiao Zhao who came in. He smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, what's wrong?"

Xiao Zhao has a delicate voice, but is very capable, otherwise the chairman's wife would not have agreed to let Xiao Zhao be Chen Xingchao's secretary.

Secretary Xiao Zhao said, "Chairman, my wife just called and asked you to go home early. She said she has something to discuss with you."

Chen Xingchao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Xiao Zhao did not leave immediately. He looked at Chen Xingchao and said, "Chairman, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will leave work."

Chen Xingchao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go, go home and have a rest. You don't have to wait for me in the future."

Xiao Zhao smiled gently, turned and left Chen Xingchao's office.

Chen Xingchao looked out the window and sighed, "I was so absorbed in my work that before I knew it, a whole day had passed."

Actually, Chen Xingchao had no plan to work overtime, but he forgot about time while working, and when he came to his senses, it was already dark.

After putting all the documents away, Chen Xingchao packed up, picked up his car keys and prepared to go home after get off work.

Even the chairman of a listed company has to drive himself; he doesn't hire a driver.

After turning off the lights and coming out of the office, Chen Xingchao saw some staff working overtime in the president's office. He did not talk to them and went straight into the elevator.

Come to the underground parking lot and drive away.

Ten minutes later, Chen Xingchao drove into the community.

This is a villa complex in the suburbs of Hangzhou. Many wealthy people have bought villas here. What Chen Xingchao values ​​most about this place is that it is close to the group building. Unlike when he was in Beijing, he had to drive for more than half an hour to and from get off work every day. Sometimes if there was a traffic jam, he might have to drive for more than an hour. It was too uncomfortable.

After driving the car into the underground parking lot of the community, Chen Xingchao went straight into the elevator and arrived at his home.

In fact, you can also enter through the villa gate, but Chen Xingchao is used to parking his car in the underground parking lot.

I walked across the lawn of the villa, came to the Western-style house, entered my fingerprint, and entered the house.

After changing his shoes at the door, Chen Xingchao saw his wife and son sitting on the sofa and talking.

As Chen Xingchao walked, he said, "Chen Xiang, pour your father a cup of tea. He is thirsty."

Chen Xingchao belongs to the first generation of rich people, the generation of pioneers, and he still has a rough and unruly spirit.

Chen Xiang knew his father's usual temper, so he stood up and poured tea for Chen Xingchao.

Fang Qin, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Chen Xingchao and frowned, "Why did you come back so late? You still smell like rouge and perfume. Where have you been?"

Chen Xingchao's eyes widened immediately and he said, "Fang Qin, please don't frame anyone. You can't just say that in front of a child."

Chen Xiang, who was pouring tea at the side, was used to his parents' quarrels. In the past, when his sister was at home, his parents didn't dare to quarrel. Now that his sister no longer lived at home, both of them became more arrogant.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiang, as a man, does not have much status in the family.

Fang Qin rolled her eyes, waved her hand, and asked Chen Xingchao to sit over.

Chen Xingchao walked to the sofa and sat down, saying, "What's going on? Tell me."

At this time, Chen Xiang also brought the tea over and handed it to Chen Xingchao.

Chen Xingchao took the tea, took a sip, and waited for his wife to continue.

Fang Qin said: "It's about our daughter."

Chen Xingchao frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Ziyu?"

Fang Qin said, "She's fine. I was talking about her marriage. That girl had been urging us to agree to the engagement, saying only how great Tan Yue was."

Chen Xingchao nodded and said, "Yes, I asked someone about it. Although Tan Yue has been married once, he is still a good person. Honey, you don't dislike him because he is a second marriage, do you?"

Fang Qin slapped Chen Xingchao's thigh hard and glared at him, "How could I dislike him for being a second marriage? What I mean is, these two kids are about to get engaged, but we haven't even met yet. I think we should have a meal together anyway."

Chen Xingchao said, "You said it before, but our daughter doesn't want to. Why do I feel like this girl is hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house? She hides her boyfriend so well and doesn't let us see him at all."

Fang Qin said, "This is a major life event. We can't listen to her anymore. We have to keep a close eye on her."

Chen Xingchao said, "What should I do? Do you want me to find someone else to contact him? Ask him out for dinner?"

Fang Qin shook her head and said, "That's not the case. Don't we have someone here who knows Tan Yue?"

Chen Xingchao was stunned and asked, "Who is it?"

After saying this, Chen Xingchao suddenly remembered something and looked up at his son who had just sat down next to him.

At the same time, Fang Qin also turned her gaze to Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang felt a little uncomfortable. He touched his nose and said, "Mom and Dad, why are you looking at me? I don't know anything about what you are talking about. And don't look for me about my sister. I dare not. If my sister finds out, she will definitely kill me."

Fang Qin smiled and said, "Son, don't be afraid. Your parents are here. How can your sister eat you? Besides, this is all for your sister's good. This is a major event in her life. You don't want your sister to live an unhappy life in the future, right?"

Chen Xiang said: "I have indeed met Brother Tan Yue before, but I think he is a nice guy and is a good match for my sister."

Fang Qin said, "Then you have to learn more about it. I also know that Tan Yue is very good, but he was married once before. Since the two of them divorced, there must be a reason. As the woman's family, we have to investigate for her future life."

"I'm still a little scared." Chen Xiang's voice was a little weak.

Over the years from childhood to adulthood, he has almost always lived in the "shadow" of his sister. After all, most people don't have the blessing of having such an excellent and capable sister.

My father once said that if my sister had not entered the entertainment industry and started her own business, she would have been the helmsman of the huge Chen Group.

Fang Qin was about to say something about her son, but she saw Chen Xingchao glaring at her and saying, "Why are you afraid? With your ugly appearance, can you run our family business well in the future?" After the Chen Group became bigger, there were two opinions about the future successor. One was to hire a professional manager as the general manager like many modern large groups. This is the path that many companies take after successful entrepreneurship. The other was for Chen Xingchao's descendants to inherit the industry, which is a family business.

Analyzing purely from the perspective of pros and cons, the family business model is naturally not as good as hiring professional managers. After all, no one can guarantee that the next generation of the company boss will also have strong capabilities.

But Chen Xingchao is still somewhat conservative or feudal at heart, and he is unwilling to find an outsider to take over his group.

Originally, he was thinking of letting his daughter Chen Ziyu be the future head of the group. He only had a pair of children, and his daughter had shown abilities and courage far exceeding those of his son since she was a child, so he favored his daughter more.

It was just that his daughter started her own business after graduating from college. Chen Xingchao thought it was just a small business, but he didn't expect it to get bigger and bigger. Now, his daughter's Brilliant Entertainment Company has surpassed their Chen Group in size.

The entire group's annual net profit is only a few billion, while a movie produced by Brilliant Entertainment Company has a box office of 60 to 70 billion. Even if the daughter company can only get half of it, it is still very high.

So seeing his daughter doing so well in her Brilliant Entertainment Company, Chen Xingchao was proud of his daughter, but he also silently kept his mouth shut about wanting his daughter to come back and be the successor.

Chen Xiang has always been afraid of his father at home, and with the added pressure of his mother's gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod and agree.

"Okay then, I'll contact him." Chen Xiang took a deep breath and said.

Fang Qin nodded and said, "Okay, contact them now."

Chen Xiang blinked, looked at his mother, and said, "Mom, then tell me what I should say?"

Fang Qin thought for a moment and said, "Just say that our family is going to Beijing to take care of some things, and we want to have a meal with Tan Yue. Ask him if he has time. We can have a meal together, after all, we have never had it together before."

Chen Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him that."

Chen Xingchao drank tea and listened to the conversation between his wife and son, and his expression became a little dazed.

Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the little girl who used to be by my side now has a partner.

Chen Xingchao felt reluctant when thinking about his daughter getting married, but he also knew that his daughter was already older than her peers, as those around them were already grandparents.

"Get married, if you don't I'll really become an old maid." Chen Xingchao thought to himself.

Chen Xiang took out his cell phone, found Tan Yue's number, and was about to call when he was stopped by Fang Qin.

"Chen Xiang, please talk to Tan Yue again about our contact with him, including the meal. Don't tell Ziyu." Fang Qin said.

Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

Chen Xiang dialed the number and spoke haltingly. Although he had Tan Yue's contact information, he hadn't called him in such a long time. He felt a little uncomfortable calling him suddenly to talk.

Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

Chen Xiang dialed the number and spoke haltingly. Although he had Tan Yue's contact information, he hadn't called him in such a long time. He felt a little uncomfortable calling him suddenly to talk.

Chen Xingchao looked at his son with a look of disappointment on his face. As a grown man, can't he speak in a masculine and strong manner?

With his timid appearance, how could he possibly calm down those stubborn old men in the company?

A few minutes later, Chen Xiang hung up the phone.

"Mom and Dad, Brother Tan Yue agreed." Chen Xiang said.

Fang Qin nodded.

Chen Xingchao said, "Xiaoqin, you and Chen Xiang go, I won't go, there are too many things going on in the group."

When Chen Xingchao thought about meeting his future son-in-law, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart and didn't really want to go.

Fang Qin refused directly and said, "No, we all have to go. What's more important, the group's affairs or our daughter's happiness?"

Chen Xingchao has always been the one who has the final say in the group, but that is in front of other people. In front of his wife who has built the empire with him, Chen Xingchao has always been very obedient.

"Okay, let's go together." Chen Xingchao said, "When will we go?"

Fang Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go tomorrow."

"Row."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Xingchao and Chen Xiang both nodded in agreement. They knew the temper of the lady in front of them too well. A lot of Chen Ziyu's temper was inherited from her genes.

A person who says what he means and never procrastinates.

As long as there is a problem, solve it as soon as possible. If it cannot be solved, find a way to solve it.

It can be said that if there was no Fang Qin, Chen Xingchao alone would not have been able to grow the Chen Group to its current size.

There is a saying that behind every successful man there is a good woman. The relationship between Fang Qin and Chen Xingchao is not a relationship between the front and the back, but two people who have always stood side by side at the forefront of the business game for so many years.

The next day.

Capital, suburbs, airport.

Chen Xingchao, Fang Qin, Chen Xiang and their family of three got off the plane, got on the Chen Group’s car and headed for the city.

Although the Chen Group's headquarters has now moved from Beijing to Hangzhou, the Beijing subsidiary is still extremely important in the entire group.

In the black nanny car.

"We've already arrived in the capital, Brother Tan."

"Ok."

"That's troublesome."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Xiang hung up the phone and was about to speak when he saw a foot kicking towards him.

And the owner of this foot is Chen Xingchao.

Chen Xingchao glared and said, "Chen Xiang, I'm very confused. Why do you keep saying umm-um when you talk? What are you saying umm-um? If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't have anything to say, don't say anything. Why are you saying umm-um?"

Chen Xiang explained: "Dad, this is the way young people talk to each other nowadays. Everyone does this."

Chen Xingchao wanted to say something else, but Fang Qin glared back at him and said, "You are old now and can't keep up with the trends of young people. Don't criticize Chen Xiang when you have nothing to do. You are the reason why he has no confidence. What's wrong with him saying "hmm"? When you were young, didn't you follow those officials around and drink with them every day?"

Chen Xingchao couldn't argue with his wife, so he turned away embarrassedly.

Fang Qin looked at Chen Xiang and said, "Chen Xiang, was that Tan Yue who called just now?"

Chen Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Tan asked if we had arrived in Beijing. He wanted to come and pick us up, but I said we had a special car, so I didn't let him come." (End of this chapter)
