Chapter 2590 Night Dragon Thunder
Zhan Chi muttered to himself, "I started practicing martial arts when I was four years old. After more than ten years, how could I not be proficient enough?"
“Dad is clearly biased. Once my sister came, he only had eyes for her and no longer cared about me, his son.”
Zhan Yuan turned to glare at his son and said, "After you finish eating, go back to the company. I gave you the day off today so you could pick up your sister from the airport."
"Dad, since you've already given me a day off, let me take a whole day off. I haven't chatted with Beibei in a long time. Besides, I'm still just a junior employee at the company, so it's okay if I don't go to work for a day."
He is only eighteen months older than Beibei. Beibei is twenty-two years old this year, while he is not yet twenty-four. He is the fifth among his brothers, and only three years younger than his eldest brother Zhan Muchen.
He is still studying, but he is working while studying. His father said that the Zhan family's children can start making a name for themselves in the business world after they turn twenty.
When his great-grandmother was alive, his father and his uncles and elders were always taken by her to various business events, so that everyone would know that a young master of the Zhan family had begun to get involved in business.
After he turned twenty, his parents started attending more business banquets, hoping to make him more visible.
As the fifth young master of the new generation of the Zhan family, he had lived in City A of X Province for a long time, so no one in Dongguan's high society knew him. When his parents took him to events, he only met the local business tycoons and celebrities.
My father has long since established a company and built a career here. In addition to helping manage the Qianxun Group, my mother also has her own company. He and his younger brother will inherit their parents' company in the future.
He didn't think about the Ouyang family's business. His mother had told him that it belonged to the Ouyang family and was his uncle's business.
The Ouyang family is wealthy, but his parents' combined wealth is no less than that of the Qianxun Group.
Zhan Chi's real ambition is to have his own career after a few more years of hard work. His father said that the men of the Zhan family, in addition to assisting their eldest brother in managing the Zhan family business, should also have their own careers.
After accumulating experience, he started his own business.
However, his parents said that they would only provide moral support for his business venture; he would have to rely on himself for the startup capital and how to run the company.
He saved all the pocket money he received from childhood and the red envelope money he received during Chinese New Year, which was enough to fund his startup.
Zhan Yuan wanted to say a few more words to his son, but Bei Bei heard the conversation between the father and son and quickly said to Zhan Yuan, "Sixth Uncle, since Fifth Brother is on vacation, let him take a whole day off. My brother and I haven't had a proper chat in a long time."
Zhan Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, then let your fifth brother keep you company and have a good talk."
After putting away Beibei's luggage, Ouyang Ya instructed the servants to invite her uncles and aunts over for dinner.
Her father has already left them, even before Zhan Yuan's grandmother. Her father's health had always been poor.
Now she only has her mother left, who went on a trip with some of her old friends and hasn't returned yet.
The elders living in the Ouyang family mansion were her uncles and aunts.
The maid immediately went to invite Ouyang Ya's uncles and aunts to come over for dinner.
Knowing that Beibei was coming, Zhan Yuan specially cooked many of his niece's favorite dishes. He has always been responsible for the family's three meals a day because his wife only likes to eat his cooking.
His two sons learned cooking from him from a young age, but unfortunately they did not inherit his talent for cooking. Although ordinary people would praise the food he made after learning for so many years, Ouyang Ya, who is particularly picky about food, could not stomach the food made by her two sons.
Ouyang Ya's uncle and aunt knew that Beibei was the apple of their niece's husband's eye, so they always prepared gifts for Beibei when they came over for dinner. It wasn't the first time they had met, but every time Beibei came over, the elders of the Ouyang family treated her warmly.
The Ouyang family is dominated by women, and the Ouyang brothers are currently unmarried. It is unknown whether they can reverse this situation after marriage.
Ouyang Yachou was also very worried about her younger brother's marriage. He was in his early thirties and didn't even have a girlfriend. When they urged him, he said he would consider it again when he was thirty-five, which made his sisters very angry.
After the meal, Beibei was surrounded by everyone who asked her how she was feeling.
At this moment, the butler walked to Ouyang Ya's side, bowed slightly, and respectfully said to Ouyang Ya, "Miss, Mr. Ye from Longteng Group has arrived."
Ouyang Ya smiled and said, "He's well-informed. Quickly, invite him in."
The butler replied, "Mr. Ye's car is parked at the door and he has already gone inside."
Ye Longting was a regular at the Ouyang family's residence. The servants were familiar with him and knew that he had a special relationship with his master. Although they had never seen Ye Longting's face, it did not prevent them from respecting him.
Soon, Ye Longting appeared in everyone's sight.
"Uncle Zhan, Aunt Zhan."
Ye Longting, also known as Longting, greeted Zhan Yuan and his wife with a smile as he entered, then greeted the elders of the Ouyang family, and finally his gaze fell on Beibei, his eyes and brows filled with a smile.
"I even sent someone to wait at the airport, but they didn't manage to pick up Beibei. Zhan Chi beat them to it."
Beibei immediately nudged her cousin, Zhan Chi, to make room for Long Ting.
"Brother Ting, come and sit down."
Beibei patted the spot next to her.
Zhan Chi whispered to her, "When he comes, even I, as his older brother, have to step aside."
There was no resentment, just a few muttered words.
Even if his sister hadn't said anything, he would have given up his seat to Long Ting. Long Ting was everyone's idol and an older brother they had known since childhood, who had always taken care of them.
Long Ting didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to sit down next to Bei Bei, handing her the gift he was holding.
"Long time no see. I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you like it."
Beibei glanced at the box and guessed it was jewelry. She smiled helplessly, "Brother Ting, you only ever give the same kind of gift. How can that be? If you keep giving the same thing every day when you're trying to win a girl's heart, you'll never succeed."
Long Ting laughed and said, "I really don't know what to give. The gift I gave to your sister Yan was something like this."
He's over thirty-one but not quite thirty-two yet. At his age, he'd be considered an older single man by any standard, so it's only natural that he'd be pressured to get married.
He wasn't in a hurry to get married; he wouldn't consider important life matters until he had avenged his great grudge.
He was also afraid of implicating the woman.
He has high standards; he looks down on ordinary heiresses from prominent families, but that's because he has an exceptionally outstanding younger sister.
The new president of Fengchen Group is not Jun Sheng, the eldest son of the Jun family, nor Ye Yao, the eldest son of Ye Junbo, but Jun Yan.
From a young age, she was more composed than her brothers and had the demeanor of an elder sister. Throughout her childhood, even though her brothers were very outstanding, they could not surpass her.
With her around, her brothers always paled in comparison.
Ye Junbo and his wife were reluctant to let their only daughter work so hard, but Junyan loved doing business and could keep the company's old employees in check. They couldn't persuade her otherwise, so they had no choice but to let her take over Fengchen Group.
He became the new president of Fengchen Group.
