Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 136 Socializing at the Wedding

Mou Zhengxiong took a glimpse of his worthless daughter in the dim light and sighed slightly.

Shi Dongchu thought with a playful look in his eyes.

Under the spotlight and with the band playing, the wedding ceremony officially began.

The bride walked slowly down the red carpet, petals were gently thrown and landed on her sparkling shoes, her long dress trailed on the red carpet, swaying gently with her steps.

After walking down the red carpet, President Ham handed Ham Se-hwa over to the groom Chen Xingjun.

Then, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, the two faced each other and exchanged rings symbolizing eternal commitment.

After the ceremony, the parents of both sides gave speeches, saying a lot of empty talk.

Chen Yangzhe sat at the first table, watching the scene quietly, his eyes as if he was looking at a stranger.

Afterwards, the wedding banquet officially began, and people were enjoying the food and wine, enjoying the joy and warmth.

The newlyweds, who have common interests together, shuttled among the guests, shaking hands with everyone. Some even took photos with them, playing the role of socialites.

Li Youzai's table was very close to the front, and Xian Shihua quickly came over with Chen Xingjun's arm in arm.

"President Shi, Uncle Mou," Chen Xingjun said with a smile on his face, "thank you for coming to my wedding."

Mou Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Uncle wishes you a happy wedding."

The blessing was very cursory, without much to say, and Shi Dongchu said similar words.

Li You stood up and raised his glass, "Our Master Xingjun must work hard."

Faced with Li You's words, Chen Xingjun rarely endured it.

Li You looked back and happened to see Chen Yangzhe looking coldly at him, and understood the reason for Chen Xingjun's current attitude.

This was the first time I saw Chen Yangzhe in person in this world. His hair was already gray, and his face was full of wrinkles, just like an ordinary old man, except that Chen Yangzhe's eyes were flashing with a sharp light.

Wearing a well-fitting grey suit, despite his advanced age, his aura of authority becomes even stronger.

Chen Yangzhe's eyes swept across the people at the table and stared at Chen Xingjun for a while before moving away.

He glanced at Li You twice, intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned his head away.

Li You noticed that Chen Dongji next to him seemed to be talking to him and handed him a document.

Chen Yangzhe flipped through it and slapped the document on Chen Dongji's chest without hesitation.

Li You guessed that it was the document that Chen Dongji gave to Chen Yangzhe in the original work, and it was also treated in the same way at the wedding.

That document is evidence that Chen Xingjun embezzled company assets.

Unexpectedly, even with the external enemy Chen Daojun, this second in command was still not honest.

Li You shook his wine glass, and the voice beside him interrupted his thoughts, "Director Li."

He clinked his wine glass with the visitor, "Representative Chen."

"I didn't expect Director Li to attend his wedding," Chen Daojun's eyes drifted over Chen Xingjun who was not far away.

"Why don't you come?"

Chen Daojun was stunned for a moment, then understood what Li You meant. "I didn't expect him to offend Director Li at this time."

"How's Mr. Chen doing lately?" Li You changed the subject. "Can you tell me about the progress?"

Chen Daojun smiled bitterly, "There's nothing wrong with revealing this. We can only hold on until the president speaks."

"No wonder," Li You took a sip of red wine. Shunyang used the best wines at this wedding banquet. "I just saw the former Shunyang Securities representative secretly slipping documents to Chairman Chen and was scolded."

He squinted his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste of the wine. "Representative Chen, why don't you guess what that is?"

Chen Daojun was silent for a while, then nodded, "Thank you Director Li for your reminder."

He hesitated for two seconds, "Director Li, do you want the development rights for the land in Mapo District?"

A flash of surprise flashed across Li You's eyes. "If Representative Chen wants to make a move, Kinmen Real Estate can take over all of it."

With the financial support of the Kinmen Group, Li You began to speak with a sense of wealth and power.

"Of course I have conditions," Chen Daojun put the empty wine glass on the table, "The conditions are not complicated. Director Li, do you want to try it?"

Li You smiled and nodded, "No matter what the conditions are, you have to tell me before you know."

Chen Daojun turned his head slightly. Chen Yangzhe's eyes were on the two of them. He said goodbye softly, "Let's meet at Miracle tonight. Representative Li will also come to Miracle for a visit."

After the two separated, Li You stared at Chen Daojun's figure. After he went to Chen Yangzhe, he just said a few words, showed an expression of surprise, and then turned back.

"Director Li," Chen Daojun said with some doubt, "Grandpa wants you to come over."

In the banquet hall, the lights were bright and people were everywhere.

Li You stood up and followed Chen Daojun, which caused some people to whisper, including Chen Xingjun's attention.

When he saw what Li You and Chen Daojun did, he felt even more angry.

Chen Yangzhe, who was elegantly dressed, looked at Li You in front of him and felt secretly moved.

He had seen Li You talking with several business elites before, and his every move revealed a confidence and composure that Chen Xingjun did not possess.

The old man stared at him, with a glimmer of admiration and expectation in his eyes.

The music at the banquet sounded softly, gentle and elegant.

"President Chen," Li You lowered his head slightly.

"It's our first time meeting, Director Li. You are such a young talent," Chen Yangzhe raised a barely perceptible smile and extended his hand to Li You, "Don't blame me for asking Daojun to invite you over without your permission."

Li You shook the old man's hand back and bowed slightly, with a respectful expression: "Of course not, the opportunity to learn from President Chen is rare for ordinary people."

"Sit down," Chen Yangzhe released his hand and gently pointed to the seat next to him, "Daojun, sit down too."

The two sat down on his left and right, and Chen Yangzhe kept a serious expression, even though what he said were relatively light-hearted words.

"I've heard of Director Li's name for a long time," he looked at Li You, "I've never had the chance to meet this famous figure in Seoul, but today I finally met him." His smile was very stiff, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Daojun?"

Li You nodded gently, "Representative Chen and I have known each other for some time."

Li You was generous in praising Chen Daojun, "Mr. Chen's vision and ability in finance are beyond my reach."

He meant what he said.

On the premise that he was not a reborn person, Chen Daojun used his vision and the initial capital given to him by Chen Yangzhe to start making a killing in the stock market at the age of sixteen, and also recruited Wu Shixuan, a top financial talent.
It only took Chen Daojun six years to turn Miracle Company from a starting capital of 1 billion won into a company with nearly 1 trillion won in assets.

Chen Yangzhe's smile seemed to be less stiff. When he gave 1 billion won to his grandson Chen Daojun, he never expected that his grandson would give him such a big surprise. He could even be said to be frightened.

After all, Miracle tried his best to deal with Shunyang at the beginning.

He shook his head helplessly, "I don't need to say much about Daojun's excellence. On the contrary, I think you are pretty good."

Chen Yangzhe looked at Li You, as if he saw himself decades ago, just that he had chosen a different path.

He sighed, "You've been able to get to your current position from nothing in nearly two years, and the path you've taken is much more dangerous."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Director Li."

Chen Daojun smiled and added, "Director Li's sensitivity to land value is also extraordinary. A lot of land in the three Jiangnan districts is now under the control of Kinmen."

"Kinmen." Li You could clearly see the hesitation in Chen Yangzhe's eyes. "It's a really difficult road."

Chen Yangzhe is old, even dying, and he is well aware of it.

Severe headaches that can only be suppressed by taking special medicines, insomnia at night, and those accompanying diseases that follow you like a shadow.

He originally wanted to support Chen Xingjun until he became a qualified heir, but he didn't have time to wait for his offspring to grow up.

What Chen Yangzhe has to do now is to raise the strongest successor from among Shunyang and others, and then use the pillars he has built in advance to stabilize the Shunyang building.

What he is hesitating about now is whether to consider Kinmen as a potential ally.

This is still a super large security company. Only after whitewashing and transformation can it be considered a legitimate enterprise, or chaebol.

One should not seek medical help just because one is in a hurry. Chen Yangzhe deeply understands this. He looked at Li You hesitantly, but still could not speak. Wait a minute.
"President Chen," Li You noticed Shi Dongchu and Mou Zhengxiong looking over here, and took the initiative to ask for leave, "I'll leave first."

"Go ahead," Chen Yangzhe subconsciously waved his hand, then retracted it halfway. He looked at Li You and said, "Director Li, please do as you please."

Li You walked up to the two presidents, Xiancheng and Jinmen, who were chatting about family matters with a smile on their faces.

"Li You is here," Shi Dongchu greeted, "How was your conversation with President Chen?"

"I was praised a few times in the past," Li You waved his hand gently, "Are the two presidents chatting well?"

Mou Zhengxiong said cheerfully, "Of course we are going to have a few drinks later, do you want to join us?"

Li You acted flattered and said, "Of course I'll come along."

"Who would have thought that the famous Li You would have such an expression?" Shi Dongchu joked.

Although he knew that Li You was also performing, everyone performs when they go out, and Shi Dongchu is just a man wearing a mask.

"Then it's settled," Mou Zhengxiong patted Li You's shoulder, "Go find Xianmin, she wanted to find you just now."

"it is good."

Li Youtuo left the small circle of two people and looked around the banquet hall. Mou Xianmin was talking to Shunyang's two wives at the wine table not far away.

Seeing that Li You was free, she politely said goodbye to the two of them and reunited with Li You.

She took Li You's arm and smiled, "These two are really interesting."

Hearing her mention the two people who were with her just now, Li You couldn't help but laugh, "How interesting?"

"I don't look at them in the same way, and I don't feel the same way in my heart," Mou Xianmin didn't even look back at the two men, "I've only been there for a few minutes, and the verbal battle is about to hit me."

"It seems that President Chen's deterrent power is getting weaker and weaker, as he can ridicule relatives like this in front of guests."

Li You sighed softly, "It's nothing more than a hero's old age."

"Do you think it's a pity?"

"No," Li You said calmly, "If he was always here, I would be under a lot more pressure."

"Hiss." Mou Xianmin pinched his waist, "Don't talk nonsense. Look where we are."

"I know, I know," Li You glanced at Chen Xingjun, "It's time to go and find some trouble for our Master Xingjun."

The two walked over, talking and laughing, "Our Master Xingjun looks so handsome today!"

Li You did not hide the sarcasm in his words. The person who was saying this to Chen Xingjun was his father-in-law, President Xian, who obviously also knew Li You.

"Director Li," President Xian forced a smile, "I've always wanted to say hello to you."

"No need," Li You smiled but didn't smile, "We are not familiar with each other."

Naturally, he would not give a good face to the fat man who stood up Kinmen.

President Xian shut up. Chen Xingjun looked unhappy. “Li You, this is my father-in-law.”

"Really? He's not my father-in-law."

Li You smiled playfully, "Representative Chen, do you think too highly of your own reputation?"

He said softly, "The development rights of the Mapo area that you and Chen Daojun fought over so fiercely may be taken over by Kinmen in a while."

No matter whether it succeeds or not, just take it out to disgust this kid.

Chen Xingjun's face turned as red as pig liver. "What do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is," Li You pulled his arm out of Mou Xianmin's arms, hugged her and looked at Chen Xingjun with a smile, "No one would get married for a real estate project, right?"

"You bastard." Chen Xingjun began to pant. The bride not far away noticed the situation and hurried over, "Husband..."

"Get out of the way!" Chen Xingjun pushed her away and left angrily.
