In the evening, there was a dinner with Shen’s relatives.

It happens every year at this time, but because her relationship with Shen Zhijie was rather strained in the past few years, she didn't go.

The box is a luxury suite in Genting Hotel, and the minimum consumption is six figures.

Shen Kexin didn't think there was anything wrong, but she felt a little sad when she thought of the pile of plans on her father's desk.

"It's just an ordinary dinner party, why do you need to book such an expensive private room?"

You don't need to ask to know that Shen Zhijie is now the person in charge of Shen Group, and he must be the one to pay for this money.

"You still feel sorry for money. I've never seen such a thing before."

Shen Zhijie said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it only happens once a year."

Shen Kexin pursed her lips, unable to understand her father's generosity in spending money.

But, the money wasn't earned by her anyway.

After asking the waiter to get a child's chair, Shen Kexin handed the prepared bottle of milk to Gu Pan and let him suck it slowly by himself.

People arrived one after another. Shen Kexin couldn't name most of them, but they looked familiar.

"This must be Xiaoxin. I haven't seen her for several years. She has really changed a lot since she grew up. She looks much prettier and more mature."

A middle-aged woman's eyes lit up when she saw Shen Kexin.

This compliment was sincere, so Shen Kexin smiled shyly.

"I'm married and have children, how can I not be mature?"

"But you look a lot younger than in previous years, and you look more energetic."

If Shen Kexin really wanted to say something nice, she could praise someone to the sky.

The woman touched her face and really smiled.

"Oh, no, I just had a good rest recently."

"But you are such a sweet girl, not like my boy who is so shy."

Shen Kexin had no idea which one her family was, so she just smiled in agreement and did not comment.

As if knowing that Shen Kexin couldn't call anyone, Shen Zhijie introduced her.

"This is your Aunt Lian Rong. Her daughter Shen Man is the same age as you. You played together when you were young."

Shen Kexin obediently called out "Aunt Lian Rong", and the other party immediately responded and shouted to the side.

"Xiao Man, why are you standing so far away? Come here!"

When Shen Kexin heard the sound, she looked over and saw a girl coming over to the small balcony outside with a reluctant look on her face.

She is the same age as Shen Kexin, but her skin looks more tired than hers who has given birth to a child.

"Hello."

Shen Kexin thought that Aunt Lian Rong was a nice person, warm and generous, so she took the initiative to greet her daughter.

But compared to Shen Kexin's brightness and politeness, Shen Man was obviously not as enthusiastic towards her.

"Well, I know you."

She touched hands with Shen Kexin, and her eyes fell on Shen Kexin, wanting to look but not daring to.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

But someone else came in, and Shen Kexin was taken to say hello, so the other party couldn't say it.

Later, Shen Yu, who I met at the company, also came.

Shen Kexin was not surprised at all to see him.

After all, his surname is Shen. Since he already works for Shen’s Group, it’s normal for him to attend family gatherings.

There were more than twenty people sitting at the huge table, and they had to shout to talk.

The men at the table were chatting and laughing, and the women were talking about family matters, all proceeding in an orderly manner as expected for a family dinner.

Shen Kexin was not on either side and just lowered her head and ate her food in silence.

Aren’t we coming here just for a meal? If we don’t eat more, we’ll be hurting our stomach.

But if only it were that simple.

Soon, the topic of bragging about careers turned to bragging about children.

Many people said something like, "My child is about to graduate this year, and I hope Shen Zhijie will take good care of him."

But in fact it is just showing off the children's high education.

Some people also said that their children started their own businesses, and since they are all family, they will help each other in the future.

But in fact, it is also to show off that one's children are capable and talented.

But there are also some who are not so capable.

Shen Yu's father is much older than Shen Zhijie, and is in his fifties.

He listened to the people around him comparing themselves to each other, and his face became darker than the bottom of a pot.

"Stop pretending here. This good-for-nothing in my family is the one who really needs the attention of our big boss Shen."

"Aren't you right, Zhijie?"

The man had drunk some wine and had a bit of a lisp. He stood up with a glass of wine in his hand.

But it didn't look like a toast, it looked like he was going to overturn the table.

"Zhijie, we are all family. Last year you said that you would give my son a promotion this year, but there has been no progress so far. If you look down on my son, just tell him directly so that I can find him a good job with room to display his talents!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table fell silent.

Shen Zhijie worked hard for many years to build Shen's company to its current size.

Most people have changed their lives as ordinary working class people thanks to their relationship with Shen Zhijie, and now they know what is good for them.

But there are also people like Shen Yu's family who don't know what's good for them.

Shen Zhijie put down his chopsticks and looked unhappy.

He wanted to give someone a promotion and didn't want to make the relationship between relatives so stiff, but what Shen Yu did was just like playing house.

He has no practical ability and is lazy all day long. If such a person gets promoted, how will he manage the people below him in the future?

Shen Yu's father just stood there. He didn't say anything, but his unfriendly eyes were always staring at Shen Zhijie.

It was obvious that they wanted him to give a definite answer in front of the dinner party when everyone was present.

In such a stagnant atmosphere, Shen Kexin was the only one who was still moving.

When he turned the turntable, he used a lot of force and just happened to throw the shaky plate in front of Shen Yu's father away.

With a clang, the wine and bowls full of soup were knocked over. Shen Congxin stepped back and patted his pants.

"What are you doing!"

He suddenly roared at Shen Kexin, and the voice sounded like he wanted to eat someone.

Shen Kexin's expression remained unchanged, and she said, "Sorry, I was eating and didn't notice."

Shen Kexin continued to pick up food after she finished speaking, as if the atmosphere just now and the current chaos did not exist.

Shen Zhijie laughed in his heart, how could he not know that his daughter was helping him vent his anger.

He didn't show it on his face and called the waiter.

"Take this guest down and deal with it."

The smell of the soup and alcohol mixed together was really unpleasant, so Shen Congxin had to follow the waiter and leave.

Once the troublemakers left, the atmosphere at the table became relaxed.

Wu Lianrong called out, "Everyone, please don't put down your chopsticks. It would be a shame not to eat such a large table of food."

Some people may only be able to eat this once a year, so they really feel it is a pity and start to pick up their chopsticks.

They all know the limits in this matter and will never interfere in matters that are not theirs.

Shen Congxin is gone, but his son Shen Yu is still here.

Ever since Shen Kexin started speaking, Shen Yu's sinister eyes had never left her.

Shen Kexin was not unaware of it. When she picked up a piece of beef, she suddenly looked up at the man who was sitting two or three seats away from her.

"Cousin Shen Yu, you keep staring at me, do you want to eat this piece of meat in my hand?"

Then, without waiting for him to open his mouth, she apologized:

"But I'm sorry, this piece of meat is very tender and chewy. I really like it. I can't give it up. You should try some other side dishes."

It seems to be talking about the food, but it also seems to be more than just talking about the food.

A few young people who understood the metaphor smiled secretly and watched the fun.
