The Price of Rebirth [System]
Chapter 21. Distressed and Alienated
"What?" Zhang Chongji opened his black eyes wide and looked at Liu Ershun in surprise, "Uncle Liu, you mean...the Yuan family is going to hold a banquet?"
Liu Ershun also looked at Zhang Chongji in surprise: "Why, you don't know?"
Zhang Chongji shook his head blankly.
"Why don't you know? The second young master announced that the Yuan family will hold a banquet at home the day after tomorrow. Everyone in the Yuan family knows about it, and everyone praised you for your ability to take over the matter."
"Me?" Zhang Chongji pointed at himself in disbelief, opened his lips and wanted to say something, but swallowed it again.
"Xiao Wu," Liu Ershun looked at him uncertainly, "You really don't know?"
"...I, I know." Zhang Zhongji lowered his eyes as he answered softly.
"Let me tell you, how come you don't know what the Second Young Master entrusted to you..." Liu Ershun patted Zhang Chongji on the shoulder with a smile, "Not bad, boy, do it well!"
Responding in a low voice, Zhang Chongji looked at Liu Ershun's back and his eyes gradually turned cold.
Yuan Ke, Yuan Ke, you are really good, you just want to drive me out of Yuan's house?
I wonder why I've been so peaceful these days, I didn't even mention the torn blanket, it turned out that I had other plans.
Now is this considered to be a cut first and then play later?
At that time, it will be impossible for me not to accept this matter, not to mention that I am the housekeeper of the Yuan family now, how can there be a banquet that the housekeeper is not in charge of?
Letting an intern housekeeper who just arrived take charge of the entire family banquet, you really think highly of me, aren't you afraid that I will lose face to your Yuan family?
Ah, I forgot that's what you're aiming for...
In order to get rid of me, you will really spend your time.
Zhang Chongji sneered, standing in the back kitchen and looking up at the main house, the smile on his mouth was very provocative.
Perhaps Wu Jing might really panic and get kicked out of Yuan's house, but there is a loophole in your wishful thinking that will never be discovered.
What if he is not Wu Jing?
Looking in the direction of the main house, Zhang Chongji narrowed his eyes and smiled gently.
Yuan Ke, I will impress you at the banquet the day after tomorrow.

"Brother Yuan, is this really okay?"
Zhang Chongji sat in the passenger seat with a slightly uneasy expression, faltering and looking at Yuan Cheng beside him with an expressionless face.
"Otherwise, do you have a solution?"
"But……"
"I said I would help you." Yuan Cheng blocked Zhang Chongji's words with a few words, and started the car engine.
Yuan Cheng's behavior was beyond Zhang Chong's expectations. He originally planned to do it himself, but was stopped by Yuan Cheng this morning, saying that he wanted to take him to buy banquet products.
This is the reason why he is not obediently working as a housekeeper in Yuan's house, but sitting in Yuan Cheng's car.
Should this be due to his previous frenzy of favoritism?Or is Yuan Cheng just fulfilling the promise of 'helping' that he said before?
Anyway, for Yuan Cheng to take the initiative to help him, Zhang Chongji is of course happy to hear and see. It is obvious which one is more advantageous to have a helper or to do it alone?
What's more, if the banquet is too good, Yuan Ke will not doubt him because of Yuan Cheng's participation.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chong already had a bottom line in his heart, but on the surface he still had a preoccupied expression.
Seeing the downcast look of the person beside him, Yuan Cheng couldn't bear it in his heart, his hands rested on the steering wheel, but his eyes always inadvertently glanced at that fair face.
"do not think too much."
A cold voice rang in his ears, Zhang Chongji looked up at Yuan Cheng in surprise, and then slowly opened a smile: "En!"
Yuan Cheng suddenly felt something in his heart was about to overflow, and he really wanted to put his hands on his hair and let him lean in his arms.
"Brother Yuan?" Zhang Chongji stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Yuan Cheng in a daze, "The light is green, and the speakers behind are calling."
Yuan Cheng regained his composure all of a sudden, and sure enough, he heard the irritable horn and cursing behind him, he frowned and turned his face away to start the car.
"Brother Yuan, what are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied." Zhang Chongji joked with a smile, his playful look was very cute, "Isn't he thinking about his future sister-in-law?"
I miss you.
Yuan Cheng said so silently in his heart, but his face remained expressionless on the surface.
[Ding Dong——Gain 5% of the favorability of the target person "Yuan Cheng", and the current favorability is 55%, host Sang, work harder! ~ The light is at hand! ! 】
Zhang Chongji was surprised.
In the past, his favorability was deliberately designed by him, although this time he also disguised it thoroughly but there was no design content, so the sudden favorability made him a little surprised.
Sure enough, Yuan Cheng is relatively easy to grasp, right?
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Zhang Zhongji's mouth became brighter.
If such a trip can win Yuan Cheng's favor a few times, then it is worth the trip.
Parking the car slowly in the parking space, Zhang Zhong took off his seat belt and got out of the car first.
Yuan Cheng slammed the car door, glanced at Zhang Chongji who was obediently standing on the opposite side, and frowned: "What are you doing standing there? Come here."
Yuan Cheng locked the car door after Zhang Chongji walked beside him, and the two walked to the Commodity Building together.
"Banquets are different from ordinary parties. They are more commercial and social than entertainment." The two stood alone in the elevator, and Yuan Cheng looked at the flashing lights and explained indifferently to Zhang Chongji who was standing beside him. "It's more appropriate to buy some flowers than balloons, but you can't..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Chongji, but unexpectedly found that he was staring at him blankly, and Yuan Cheng was taken aback by the admiration in his eyes.
Yuan Cheng frowned, and his voice became even colder: "Are you listening?"
"Ah? Ah!" Zhang Chongji seemed to have just reacted, his face was flushed and he was in a hurry, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, what did you say?"
"..." Yuan Cheng remained silent, frowning even tighter.
"I'm sorry, I just, I didn't mean to be distracted just now..." Zhang Zhongji waved his hands in a panic, looking anxious to explain, "Brother Yuan..."
Yuan Cheng pursed his lips, and was about to say something when the elevator door opened with a "ding--".
"Hey, this is... Mr. Yuan Cheng?"
An uncertain female voice sounded abruptly outside the door, and the two of them looked over upon hearing the reputation, Yuan Cheng pursed his thin lips, while Zhang Chongji frowned quietly in his heart.
The woman who appeared at the elevator entrance was about 30 to [-] years old, very young.
She is wearing a dress with flat shoulders, a standard oval face, fair skin that can be easily broken, black eyeliner outlines the cat eyes that are smart and cute, and her chestnut curly hair makes her pure and charming. It even drew out her beautiful figure lines, that appearance is very delicate, a real beauty.
"Miss Bai?"
"It's really Mr. Yuan." Miss Bai covered her hands and smiled in surprise, but no one could stop the surprise in her eyes. , "The woman's beautiful Danfeng eyes glanced at Zhang Chongji who was on the side, frowned indistinctly, and then pretended to ask casually, "Who is this?"
Yuan Cheng glanced at Zhang Chongji who had lowered his head ever since the woman appeared, his eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "The housekeeper."
Zhang Chongji, who was standing by the side, was stunned when he heard these two words, and then he looked lost, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little bit forced, it would not be an exaggeration to say it was a wry smile.
"So that's how it is." This Miss Bai was really not afraid of bumping into a wall, walked into the elevator with graceful steps, and immediately pushed Zhang Chongji to the corner, while she clung to Yuan with a face like a bird. Cheng, "Is there no lawsuit today, Mr. Yuan?"
Yuan Cheng nodded, didn't say too much, but moved back a little to avoid her movements, but Miss Bai clung to her in the next second, like a brown candy that couldn't be shaken off.
Yuan Cheng subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhang Chongji, and saw him standing in the corner looking at this side with a dejected expression, with a forced smile on his mouth.
His heart tightened, and the moment Yuan Cheng almost wanted to push Miss Bai away, he heard the female voice say: "I heard that Mr. Yuan's house is going to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow?"
As if thinking of something, Yuan Cheng froze when he wanted to push away, and finally put down his hand and nodded silently.
Miss Bai laughed in satisfaction, her laughter was as melodious as an oriole: "I said what my father is preparing for these few days, is it really to save some face at the banquet? I will also go when the time comes, Yuan Please treat me well, sir."
Yuan Cheng's eyes were fixed on Zhang Chongji, who was downcast and couldn't see his expression clearly, his mind was a little confused, and his mouth was perfunctory: "En."
"That's a deal~ I'll rely on you at that time, Mr. Yuan." Miss Bai was a little surprised. In the past, this kind of situation was always evaded, and I thought it would happen this time... Sure enough, I still couldn't escape me. beautiful.
But Yuan Cheng didn't realize what he agreed to until after he said it, and he was observing Zhang Chongji's expression while secretly annoyed.
He didn't know why he cared so much about his feelings, but Yuan Cheng felt that he couldn't control this kind of behavior. Compared with the sticky woman next to him, he even wanted the person in the corner to cling to him so much.
"Ding——" The elevator door opened again, and Yuan Cheng's destination floor had arrived.
"Yuan, Mr. Yuan, if you have something to do, do it first, I can handle it by myself." Said in a low voice, Zhang Chongji hurried out of the elevator with his head down.
Mr. Yuan?
Solve it alone?
Did he mean to be entangled with this woman by saying something?
Yuan Cheng suddenly felt annoyed, staring at the man's hurried back, for the first time he didn't feel calm.
"Miss Bai, if you meet me next time, I hope you can communicate with me as a friend, not like this." Yuan Cheng shook off the woman's arm expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone, "We are just ordinary friends."
After saying that, he walked out of the elevator without looking back.
Miss Bai looked at the tall guy's back, so she could only hide in the elevator angrily in the high heels.
Yuan Cheng caught up with Zhang Chongji, walked side by side with him, opened his lips but didn't know what to say.
He felt that he should explain something, but he felt that it was unnecessary.
They are just an ordinary master-servant relationship or an ordinary friend relationship...
But what's the matter with this choking feeling in the bottom of my heart?
Looking at Zhang Chongji's face with his head down, Yuan Cheng held back for a long time before saying: "Don't think too much."
It's just that the voice is still cold and the expression is still indifferent.
Zhang Chongji looked up at Yuan Cheng, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up after a while: "Well, I didn't think about it."
The smile was still warm but with an obvious sense of alienation, which made the feeling of gambling in Yuan Cheng's heart even more serious.
Almost for the first time in his life, he felt that his eloquent mouth in court was useless.
Almost for the first time in his life, he was very tired of his cold temper and communication barriers.
It was almost the first time in his life... that he wanted to feel sorry for someone so much.
Liu Ershun also looked at Zhang Chongji in surprise: "Why, you don't know?"
Zhang Chongji shook his head blankly.
"Why don't you know? The second young master announced that the Yuan family will hold a banquet at home the day after tomorrow. Everyone in the Yuan family knows about it, and everyone praised you for your ability to take over the matter."
"Me?" Zhang Chongji pointed at himself in disbelief, opened his lips and wanted to say something, but swallowed it again.
