Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't think that the request proposed by Jian Shuyue was difficult, but he was a little surprised by Jian Shuyue's assessment of the difficulty of this matter.

His network of connections is extensive now, but he can't say that it covers every province in the country. How can Lawyer Jian have the confidence to say that this is a trivial matter?

"Don't believe me? Come, I'll do the job for you first, and just don't deny your debt tonight!" Jian Shuyue pinched her husband's cheek, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Chen Yurong, who was far away in Beijing, was attending a gathering in the circle with Xie Fangfei. Although in the past two years, the Chen and Xie families have suffered setbacks in conflicts with Zhou Yi, including Chen Qingyan and Xie Chenglin, two political stars who were originally favored and cultivated by their families, both stumbled when they were in high spirits and were very unlucky to meet Zhou Yi, the evil star. One was imprisoned and the other was ruined...

But as long as Zhou Yi's father-in-law does not deliberately target them or kill them all, the foundations of the Chen and Xie families can still be considered stable, and they still have reputation and strength in the circle that ordinary people can hardly achieve.

Chen Qingyan, who was just released last month, looked depressed.

From a favored child of heaven to a labor camp inmate, and then to a released prisoner, he has experienced the proudest and darkest moments of his life, and now is facing the most embarrassing and awkward situation.

Of course, other people won’t say anything on the surface, but there will definitely be ridicule and mockery of him behind his back.

He didn't want to attend the party, but his sister told him that he couldn't avoid seeing people forever. He had to face the eyes of others with a strong mentality and turn the setbacks he suffered into motivation to move forward.

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger!

Chen Qingyan knew that what his sister said was right, but being in the situation himself, looking at the fake smiles and perfunctory attitudes on the faces of his friends who used to have a good relationship with him, he couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed and embarrassed.

This magnificent hall, this buffet dinner filled with delicious delicacies, these various political and business celebrities... He should have been able to fit in well, but after serving his sentence for several years, he felt out of place.

It seemed as if he was a poor creature abandoned by the times!

"Qingyan, long time no see. You look thinner!" A middle-aged man came over with a wine glass and looked at Chen Qingyan with strange eyes.

Zhang Hengyuan. Director of the Enterprise Reform Department of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, he was the marriage partner that his sister had once liked after her relationship with Gao Songzhi ended, and he was an annoying guy who almost became his brother-in-law.

"Brother Zhang." Chen Qingyan called out with a forced smile.

In the past, he and the other party were on the same level, but now, he is not at the same level at all. Comparing the two, one can imagine how huge the psychological gap is.

"Your sister told me about your work problem. It's difficult to arrange a job in the state-owned enterprise for the time being. I'd like to let you go to a subsidiary company and be a deputy general manager for a while. What do you think?" Zhang Hengyuan looked at the down-and-out son of the Chen family, and his tone was inevitably filled with a bit of arrogance and superiority.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang. My sister didn't tell me about this. I'll think about it when I get back!" Chen Qingyan couldn't stand the other party's attitude of 'I give you a meal and you don't even kneel down and kowtow', so he responded perfunctorily.

Zhang Hengyuan frowned, thinking, "You are so ungrateful. Don't you know what your current status is? If it weren't for your sister, would I bother with you, a loser?"

A fragrant breeze blew over, and Chen Yurong, wearing a sky blue off-shoulder evening dress, showing her mature and beautiful figure, came over and said to Zhang Hengyuan kindly, "Thank you for your concern for Qingyan's matter!"

Zhang Hengyuan replied with a fake smile: "I just mentioned it to Qingyan, but from what Qingyan said, he seems not very satisfied. Maybe he thinks my temple is too small. How about you reconsider it, Yurong?"

Chen Yurong glanced at her brother and said with a smile, "I haven't had time to talk to Qingyan yet. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal some other day and we can talk in detail then."

Zhang Hengyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in an ambiguous tone: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I think today is a good day."

Chen Yurong smiled and replied, "Not today. Fangfei and I have something to do later."

As they were talking, Secretary Xiao Liu came over, handed over the phone, and whispered, "It's Jian Shuyue's call..."

Chen Yurong quickly picked up the phone and said in an enthusiastic tone, "Hello, Shuyue, what do you want from me?"

When the people around heard the word "Shuyue", their expressions changed slightly. They subconsciously stopped talking and all cast their concerned glances towards Chen Yurong.

As we all know, Jian Jiayue's husband is the "official killer" Zhou Yi.

As everyone knows, Chen Yurong's younger brother Chen Qingyan was sent in by Zhou Yi.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the two parties should not be very pleasant.

But the Jian family is now powerful, and Zhou Yi's future career is limitless. To put it bluntly, the Chen family and the Xie family combined are not qualified to compete with the Jian family.

Under such circumstances, the Chen and Xie families seemed to have no choice but to swallow their anger and behave themselves.

However, based on this, Chen Yurong and Xie Fangfei vividly demonstrated to everyone what "if you can't beat them, join them" means through realistic teaching demonstration.

Don't think this is easy, because joining is not something you can do just because you want to. It depends on whether others are willing to let you join.

Trying to please someone by trying to please them will only turn yourself into an embarrassing joke.

After all, there are too many people who want to burn incense for the Jian family. Some people may not succeed even if they try to curry favor with them, not to mention that the Chen and Xie families have used many obstacles to retaliate against Zhou Yi.

Chen Yurong understood the logic behind this very well, so she deliberately answered the phone in a very high-profile manner, deliberately letting the people around her hear it clearly, especially the word "jie" in "what do you want to see me for?", the pronunciation of which was quite clear and standard.

"Why are you being so polite to me? Just tell me if you have something to say! Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Why are you thanking me? In two days, we will have the National Day holiday. I and Fangfei will come to see you. You just need to treat us to a delicious meal! It's settled. Say hello to Secretary Zhou for me!"

After Chen Yurong finished answering the phone, she felt refreshed, and her look was like that of a queen who looked down upon her peers.

She wasn't bragging, just based on her close relationship with Jian Shuyue, no one present could beat her!

Xie Fangfei looked at the elder sister with admiration. She had to admit that compared with the other party, some of her past performances were still too immature.

She also wanted to thank the other party for specifically mentioning her name during the call.

Invisibly, it also made her look proud and proud.

"Done!" On the other side, Jian Shuyue put down her phone and snapped her fingers with a relaxed look.
