"I have to say that this young lady of the Yan family has really been favored since she was a child. Look at this birthday party. There are new tricks every year. Children from other families are not as grand as the Yan family. The last time I held a birthday party of this scale, it was It’s time to become an adult at the age of 0. For other birthdays, I can only invite a few friends to get together.”
A certain daughter raised her glass and covered her mouth with a smile. It sounded like she was just talking about the host's birthday party, but it became interesting if you think about it carefully.
This so-called "other people's children" are of course based on peers in the same class circle. No one is bothering like this, you are the only one who is bothering you every year. If you compare it like this, is it that everyone is too local or your family is too rich
Miss Yan's family didn't seem to be very popular, because after Qian Jin finished speaking, everyone obviously showed approval.
Another Qianjin also took a sip of wine and joked: "You can't compare with others. Don't say we can't compare, even my own brother can't compare... Do you think when did the young master of the Yan family hold a birthday party? I remember the last time I was there It seems like three years ago that I saw Young Master Yan in a social gathering, right?"
"oh-"
All the ladies looked at each other in tacit understanding, chuckled lightly, shook their heads, and some people simply clinked glasses and winked, as if conveying some secret that everyone knew: "Three years ago, it's understandable..."
Only Ye Shuang didn't understand at all: "..."
Leaning his arms casually on the table behind him, Ye Shuang shook his wine glass and glanced at the crowd with a chuckle: "It sounds quite interesting. Other families value their sons more, but this Yan family seems to want to raise their daughters to inherit the family business. ?”
"Ye Shuang is right." Someone next to him said smoothly: "But it's not really a choice..." Before he could finish his words, he was bumped into by the female companion next to him.
"Uh, by the way, have you seen this year's new Cartier Trinity three-color gold series?"
The girl who was reminded by the slight bump abruptly changed the topic, and the people next to her were busy laughing and chatting in cooperation.
Ye Shuang smiled. After listening to everyone chatting for a while, he drank a sip of wine from Shan Ruliu and naturally added to the topic: "The rings and earrings are good. I remember seeing many celebrities at the private banquet at Mr. Lu's house in Jinghu City last month. They are all wearing it, but the popularity in Shanghai seems to be different. In fact, this year’s design concept is better than the one in 2010... "
Talk and talk and talk.
Most of the ladies at this banquet were not familiar with Ye Shuang. In fact, even though everyone had been chatting enthusiastically for more than half an hour, many people still only knew Ye Shuang's name.
What family background? What status? What status? What degree
No one knows all the detailed information about Ye Shuang for the time being, but this is how social interactions are. If the other party does not take the initiative to introduce himself, or there is no acquaintance nearby to introduce him, it is generally not rude to directly ask for personal information in the chat topic. .
People's evaluation of a new person is directly derived from the other person's conversation, etiquette, and understanding of social activities in the words.
After chatting for a while, he noticed that Su Zheng had come back and waved to him in the corner. Ye Shuang smiled and said goodbye to everyone, leaving gracefully.
Su Zheng's ability to analyze gossip is not as strong as Ye Shuang's, but her victory lies in her rich experience in sneaking around.
Ye Shuang was not the only group who talked about the owner, the Yan family's family affairs in the villa. For example, touching up makeup in the bathroom, taking a nap in the lounge, or ventilating on the balcony... there will always be one or two groups of lonely girlfriends who think there is no one around, and then talk about some more exciting secrets.
After all, in public places where there are too many outsiders, everyone pays more attention to their image and is afraid of accidentally attracting hatred. But if there are only acquaintances present, there is no need to worry about discussing things that are not convenient to bring to the table.
... So just like that, Su Zheng, who was good at hiding her aura, easily heard a lot of first-hand gossip.
"Sister Shuang, you don't know that the relationship between family members in this family is actually quite complicated." Su Zheng shared with emotion the news he had overheard. Although he seemed to have a righteous expression that was saddened by the declining world, it concealed the He couldn't ignore the sparkling excitement in his eyes: "The male owner of this family has four women. One dead first wife, two young wives from outside, and one is the current wife..."
“The male host initially relied on his original wife’s natal family to make a fortune, and even now he has many ongoing cooperation with the original wife’s natal family’s company. It can be said that the original wife’s status is the most transcendent among the male protagonists. It’s a pity that the original wife’s health is not good and she didn’t have time to stay. The child died young..."
While Su Zheng was drooling and revealing the gossip, she took the wine cup from Ye Shuang's hand and downed it in one gulp. Then she wiped her mouth and threw away the cup. She took Ye Shuang's arm and continued: "Later, the male master concentrated on developing his career and made gestures to please the in-laws. The first wife 'keeps her filial piety' and raised two young wives outside but never remarried. In the next three years, the two young wives became pregnant, and the children were the current young master and young lady of the Yan family... The young master's own mother thought that she would succeed in ascending to the throne, but she didn't expect In the end, the male protagonist married a small company and his daughter is his current wife. The current wife was not in good health and never got pregnant, so the two illegitimate children were brought back, and together they formed the current family relationship."
The matter up to this point can only be regarded as an ordinary ethical plot. At most, it will make everyone sigh that the rich family is too bloody. What really turns the ethics drama into a house-fighting drama is what happens after the new family relationship is formed.
The young master's own mother thought she would get a position, but she didn't expect that she would be robbed of her position later. Then she thought that she could only suffer in vain, but she didn't expect a twist again. She found out that her wife actually found out that there was a problem with her fertility. The eggs were congenitally unable to develop and mature before being discharged, so she could not successfully conceive...
After the two illegitimate sons once again had the possibility of inheriting the company, the young master's own mother was of course eager to rekindle the universe. She gave up the queen route and tried to rely on her son to directly become the future queen mother.
Originally, her advantage was indeed quite obvious. After all, in traditional philosophy, priority was given to letting sons inherit the family business. Even if the other young lady of the Yan family has been praised by the people around her since she was a child, the young master of the Yan family can only be reduced to the other party's excellent control group. However, the male owner of the Yan family believed that the first-in-line heir was still his son, and his daughter was only pampered because of her outstanding and sensible nature.
It's a pity that the young master's own mother looked down on the enemy too much, forgetting that modern society no longer had the environment that absolutely restricted women like the feudal era... The young master was favored by his own mother who carelessly underestimated the enemy, and became famous as a playboy. I don't know whether it was unintentionally or deliberately calculated. Three years ago, I finally did the next wrong thing that was difficult to end. I was accused of taking drugs with my friends at a KTV and raping the waitress.
Then he went to court, was interviewed, and was raped. One, two, three, or four groups of people stripped off all their wealth, and they were able to turn heads like a red star even when they left the house.
After the male owner of the Yan family paid for a lawyer, filed a lawsuit, and made an agreement to keep the plaintiff quiet and settle the matter, in order to avoid the limelight, the young master was forcibly sent to study abroad by his biological father. His biological mother was unwilling to do so and had no other choice but to comfort herself and wait. The son can make a comeback after the matter fades away.
But in the past three years, the situation in the family has undergone new changes - Miss Yan's biological mother found the current wife who has never participated in the inheritance struggle, and successfully conquered the current wife on the condition that her daughter and her nephew get engaged. My wife also joined the fight.
The original fight between two tigers turned into a fight for hegemony among the Three Kingdoms. Even though the young lady's mother and the wife of the wife were using each other to guard against each other, at least on the surface they were in an alliance, just like Wu and Shu teamed up to fight against Cao...
"This is really a biting dog that doesn't bark." Ye Shuang also felt that the battle for the inheritance of the Yan family was extremely exciting, and the undercurrent was almost as scheming as a palace fight.
While listening to the story, Ye Shuang went to get a plate of snacks and came back. While eating, Ye Shuang said: "Originally, the advantage of having a son was the most obvious. One of the other two opponents could not have children, and the other only had a daughter. But I didn't expect that they would get married. Now, The situation is completely different. From the perspective of the main wife, she can no longer give birth, but if her maternal nephew marries her husband's daughter, then when the two children inherit the company, it is equivalent to having their own family blood. The two of them blow pillows together , one has an outstanding child, and the other has legal status and support from her natal family. At that time, as long as an agreement is made, for example, one of the children born to Miss Yan will have the mother's surname, for the current male owner, it can be regarded as inheriting the incense, so as to avoid being caught. The incompetent son is also worried that the latter will ruin the family business."
"That's right, that's why the Yan family is fighting fiercely now." Su Zheng said with a smile and her chin: "Letting a son inherit is a traditional thinking. Letting a daughter inherit has an IQ advantage but is a bit tortuous. According to the current Yan family's daughter, Judging from the degree of attention she receives, it is more likely that she will get the right to inherit, but that doesn’t mean that the young master of the Yan family will definitely not have a chance... Who can tell me to take the lead?"
Ye Shuang lowered her head and thought about it, and the topic suddenly jumped: "In your opinion, who is the most likely criminal to steal the safe?"
"It's really hard to say." Su Zheng blinked: "Theoretically, both sides are possible. After all, the male owner of the Yan family has not decided who will inherit the company... If it is a daughter, at least she has to wait until she gets married and gives birth to a son. Only the surname Yan can make him let go, right? So it will take a long time to achieve this Queen's route. Maybe people are anxious to get some decisive quick chips? "
But judging from the current situation alone, the young master's camp is indeed in a weak position. It is natural for people to feel insecure and want to directly usurp the throne.
Anyway, the sons and daughters of this family are not harmless people. Now the secret battle for inheritance has become extremely fierce. No matter which party is the culprit in the end, there is nothing surprising.
…
The two women chatted about gossip for a while and analyzed whether the Yan family might become potential customers.
It's a pity that the Yan family is not very upright. If they really want to do something that requires special talents, they will probably use it for less serious hookups... It would be too bad to wade into this muddy water, so Ye Shuang thought about it and decided not to Pay attention to this.
"Xiaoshuang." Sister Yu walked up to a man holding her arm, and greeted with a smile: "The birthday boy will come out in a while. Have you found a dance partner?"
"Most of the men at the scene have their own wives. The first one will definitely not be able to win over others. I'd better dance with Xiao Su." Ye Shuang said with a relaxed smile and asked Su Zheng: "Can you dance the men's step?"
"Ahem, cough, cough!" Su Zheng almost choked a mouthful of cake into her trachea, and raised her big, teary eyes in embarrassment: "You want me to do the men's step at my height?"
Su Zheng's figure represents the average figure for women. The total altitude is only 16. Compared with the current Ye Shuang, she is indeed half a head shorter.
Ye Shuang looked at her beautiful dress and then at Su Zheng's professional attire. She spread her hands and said, "This outfit doesn't match my men's step."
Su Zheng stared at Ye Shuang, and Ye Shuang looked back.
Sister Yu smiled, pulled the man to sit down across from the two of them, and gently and skillfully spoke to attract the attention of Ye Shuang and Ye Shuang: "Actually, it's okay not to jump, but it's a bit conspicuous... If Xiao Shuang doesn't mind it, it's just right for Charlie My boss is here too, and he lacks a female companion, why don’t you come together?”
Of course, Charlie is Sister Yu’s sponsor, the man who is sitting across from the two of them now. I heard that the other party has a boss. This should be the senior figure in Huanchen’s Xiangjiang headquarters.
Ye Shuang thought about it and asked with a smile, "You're not over 40, are you?" Being too old is not enough. Even if she wanted to build a good relationship with the other person to earn money, she didn't want to use an activity as symbolic as the opening dance to get to know the other person.
It doesn’t matter if she is in her prime, at least everyone can see that she is a handsome and wealthy woman.
If the age gap is too big, there might be some unsavory rumors circulating among celebrities.
How dare Sister Yu dare to offend the old man in front of Ye Shuang? Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Although Mr. Qin has passed 0, he was still in his prime and was very popular among celebrities in the social circle of Hong Kong celebrities..."
It doesn't matter whether you are really popular or not, there will always be people who flatter you everywhere, as long as their age is not so exaggerated that it can easily be misunderstood.
Ye Shuang took out a napkin and pressed the corners of her lips that were not stained with butter at all. She stood up, nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll ask Sister Yu to help introduce me."
Su Zheng was abandoned again, so Ye Shuang was introduced to the man in another corner of the hall.
Sister Yu's relationship with Charlie can be regarded as cooperation and mutual utilization. She talks and laughs easily and has no sense of being kept and subordinated at all.
But in front of this man, Sister Yu and Charlie's attitudes were much more respectful and restrained. This obviously showed that there was a big difference in levels between the two, so it was impossible for the two of them to speak in front of the man as equals.
The man does not have a domineering attitude, but he still has an unconscious dominant habit in the corners of his eyes and between his brows. It is obvious that he has been in a superior position for a long time, so he has developed such a natural overlooking perspective.
"Miss Ye." When the man saw Sister Yu bringing Ye Shuang, he smiled and stood up to greet her. This action alone made both Sister Yu and Charlie secretly frightened, as if they felt that the other party should not have such an attitude towards Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang stretched out her hand to shake hands with the other person, with a perfect smile on her lips: "Hello, Mr. Qin."
After shaking hands, the man spread his hands and motioned for Ye Shuang to sit down. He took the lead to sit down again, and then smiled: "It seems that Miss Ye really pays attention to me. It may be a rude question to ask. I don't know if Miss Ye is because of Tianmo or because of Tianwang." ?”
Damn it! Hard idea! !
Ye Shuang smiled calmly and gently on the surface, but in his heart there were already ten thousand grass and mud horses roaring past.
This person is indeed not the same style as Lin Jue, a young man in love who takes the violent route. So far, I have only had a few contacts with Lin Jue. He temporarily withdrew when he was about to get the funds. So far, no one has noticed that he was approaching with purpose.
And this man claimed that he had a relationship with Tian Mo as soon as he opened his mouth... Although the information he had was not necessarily very specific, it at least showed that the other party had already paid attention to Ye Shuang, and might even have expected that Ye Shuang would find him. An opportunity to come into contact with the world...
Seeing that Ye Shuang remained calm, the man took a few more glances with interest. Then he glanced in the direction of Charlie and Sister Yu who had not yet understood the situation. He looked away and spoke again: "Charlie may not have the authority to cooperate with Miss Ye. I I thought you might be more interested in meeting me directly, so I came uninvited. I hope Miss Ye doesn't mind."
Sister Yu hesitated: "Xiaoshuang?"
Ye Shuang smiled at Sister Yu to appease her, changed her sitting position and nodded generously to the man: "It seems that Mr. Qin already knows what I want to talk to you about?"
"There are some speculations, but I'm not sure if it's Miss Ye's idea." The man pondered for a moment: "I think we should not speculate on each other's bottom line. To be honest, from the time Miss Ye signed a large number of screenwriters for Tianmo, Huanchen's feelings for Ye The young lady is paying attention. Although Miaoyi's sense of smell is not that sensitive yet, I think all coincidences are actually carefully designed... Tianmo has come back from the dead since the defeat was determined. Miaoyi only thinks that they are lucky, but I don't think so. Look, Miss Ye probably contributed a lot to this."
"Oh." Ye Shuang nodded, blinked and looked at the man without speaking.
The man took a breath, then laughed and shook his head: "Forget it, I said I won't guess each other's bottom line, so let's just finish it once... Charlie, on behalf of Huanchen, go get to know the other guests."
Charlie understood that the other party was trying to distract him, so he hurriedly responded and took Sister Yu away.
After the man waited for the crowd to clear, he collected his thoughts before continuing: "We in Huanchen have no idea of monopolizing the mainland market. No one in today's society can completely monopolize an industry. But it is undeniable that although we will not kill everyone, we will I will try my best to seize every opportunity to put myself in an advantageous position... I think Ms. Ye can also understand these things, so I won't go into details. In fact, apart from digging about the screenwriter, the second time I noticed Ms. Ye was because Your contact with Lin Jue."
"..." Ye Shuang sighed silently and tilted his head in confusion: "I'm also very curious now. With a rival like Mr. Qin, how is it possible for the Lin family to remain evenly matched with Huan Chen for so many years?"
"Miss Ye's compliment makes me feel undeserved." The man smiled: "You only know Lin Jue. He is the youngest son of the Lin family. He often has a more flamboyant personality. But Lin Chen is much more sophisticated than Lin Jue. Well, I dare not say that I will definitely be able to get an advantage from Lin Chen."
Ye Shuang thought about it, Lin Jue didn't realize that his intention was correct, but Lin Jue himself was not the head of Tianwang Media, so it was natural for him to be immature.
Mr. Qin, also known as Qin Chu, was different. First, he had paid attention to Ye Shuang because Miaoyi's script monopoly plan was destroyed. The second time he noticed that Ye Shuang and Lin Jue knew each other, he naturally became more wary. Secondly, Qin Chu is regarded as Huanchen’s designated successor. In terms of BOSS quality, he is on the same level as Lin Chen, while Lin Jue is one level lower than these two...
"Mr. Qin, are you sure that I want to cooperate with you?" Ye Shuang asked curiously.
Qin Chu shook his head: "I'm not sure about this either. But I'm at least sure that you want to see me."
"...Although this is a bit overconfident, Mr. Qin really guessed right." Ye Shuang was speechless: "In this case, I have something to say. Mr. Qin is probably guessing that I have an alliance with Tianwang or Tianmo?"
Qin Chu raised his eyebrows and made a rhetorical look like "Isn't it?"
Ye Shuang smiled, turned around and waved to Su Zheng, who was paying attention not far away. While gesturing for the other party to come over, he turned back and continued to smile: "Actually, my position is in the neutral camp. I help Tian Mo find screenwriters because we have cooperation. Relationship. The reason for contacting Lin Jue of Tianwang is because I am preparing to develop a cooperative relationship... I have some information here that Mr. Qin may be interested in. Maybe this is related to the reshuffle of the new pattern of your Xiangjiang Media. I don’t know. If it is possible. , I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Qin."
After Su Zheng trotted over, she still wanted to pretend to act according to the original plan: "Sister Shuang, you..."
"There's no need to pave the way. Just give all the information to Mr. Qin. He would have known we were going to see him." Ye Shuang interrupted Su Zheng.
Su Zheng: "..."
Su Zheng's innocent expression suddenly twisted into a look of "f*ck". She glanced at Qin Chu who was calm and troubled, and handed over the briefcase she had been carrying.
Qin Chu opened it with a smile. He didn't pull out the file completely. He flipped through it briefly and stuffed it back: "If Miss Ye doesn't mind, I want to take a look at these materials first. I'll invite you two to dinner tomorrow. No. Do you know if Miss Ye can give me a favor?"
The goal of hooking up with the person in charge of Huanchen was successfully accomplished outside of plan.
Although the development of reality has completely deviated from the script like a wild horse, fortunately, the final result was still very smooth.
There was no need for thirty-six strategies to draw people into the situation. Ye Shuang and Su Zheng were naturally extremely relaxed at this birthday party.
He danced the opening dance with Qin Chu, then he and Su Zheng searched for all kinds of delicacies on the water table, and then he got into the circle of celebrities and continued to collect scattered information from all over the world.
Finally, halfway through the banquet, Ye Shuang naturally had the urge to go to the bathroom because of the constant eating and drinking.
After saying hello to Su Zheng, Ye Shuang went up to the second floor. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a man holding a knife and touching the artery on his wrist... (To be continued)
