Chapter 310: Attending the Dinner
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Grandma told me she wants to see you.”
Shen Hanyu pointed at his phone. “She called me three times from last night to this morning. She asked me to bring you home for dinner.”
Sang Qianqian was a little overwhelmed.
Naturally, she did not know that one of the conditions for Shen Hanyu and Zhen Yiping to reach a deal was for Zhen Yiping to convince Old Lady Zhen to accept Sang Qianqian.
Yesterday, Zhen Yiping had a deep conversation with Old Lady Zhen. Even if she wanted to object to this marriage, she had to think about it again and again, and she had to be very careful.
Firstly, she was afraid that her daughter’s tragedy would repeat itself. Secondly, the information that Zhen Yiping had sent someone to investigate showed that Sang Qianqian was indeed a girl with a clean family background. She had already married Hanyu a long time ago and had also done her best to cure Hanyu. If the old lady wanted to break up the two of them, she would be too cruel.
After much consideration, the old lady decided to respect Shen Hanyu’s decision and acknowledge Sang Qianqian as her granddaughter-in-law.
…..
Once she settled down, the old lady couldn’t spare any more time to meet her granddaughter – in – law.
“Then 1’11 try to get off work earlier tonight.”
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “1 still need to go back and change my clothes. You can pick me up directly from home.”
The last time she went to the Zhen family, she was a doctor, so she didn’t care much about her appearance.
However, this time was different. She was going to meet her elders, so she had to make some preparations.
Shen Hanyu watched as she entered the hospital and returned to his car.
He couldn’t help but take out the two marriage certificates and gently rub them, the corners of his lips unconsciously curved up.
Although the marriage contract was thin, it was written in black and white with a stamp. She was legally his wife.
Those years, he had stayed in front of her grave alone, thinking that it was impossible to fulfill his long-cherished wish in this life, but now it had come true.
The uncertainty in his heart finally dissipated a little.
What replaced it was a sense of peace he had never felt before.
In the capital, every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
However, the park of the Zhen family’s industrial empire occupied hundreds of acres of land in the heart of the capital. There were many buildings in the park, and the scenery was magnificent.
There were more than 20000 employees in the group’s headquarters alone, not including the Zhen family’s office staff in various branches around the world.
As the car drove through the huge park, Shen Hanyu looked out the window, deep in thought.
Zhen Yiping was right. In terms of scale and influence, Phoenix could not be compared to the Zhen family’s corporation.
It wasn’t difficult to help Zhen Yiping take care of the Zhen family, but it wasn’t easy either.
Not to mention that there would be complicated interpersonal relationships inside and outside the Zhen Group.
“Hanyu,”
Zhen Yiping personally welcomed Shen Hanyu at the door. His eyes were full of smiles and a sense of relief. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet the core members of the company.”
In fact, Zhen Yiping had been worried about Shen Hanyu’s health and had not planned to let him come to the company right away.
However, Shen Hanyu said that since they had to come sooner or later, it was better to come early, so Zhen Yiping agreed.
Although the Zhen family’s corporation was huge, there were only seven people including Zhen Yiping who could be considered as core figures.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the six people who had been waiting in the meeting room for a long time all looked at Shen Hanyu with different expressions.
“This is the President of the Board of Directors, Zhen Chongming.”
Zhen Yiping pointed at a middle-aged man with half a head of white hair, and introduced him with a smile, “He used to be my father’s right-hand man, and has made great contributions to the company over the years. If we’re talking about seniority, Hanyu, you’ll have to call him Seventh Uncle.”
Shen Hanyu nodded. “Seventh Uncle.”
“Nonsense, I don’t deserve this level of respect at all.”
Zhen Chongming waved his hand and smiled. “I’ve heard from the president that you’re young and capable, but I’ve never had the chance to meet you. He stood his ground and invited you to become the group’s President. I hope that President Shen won’t disappoint the president in the future, and won’t let outsiders look down on the Zhen family.”
The president he was referring to was naturally Zhen Yiping.
This person’s words were from both the company’s and the Zhen family’s standpoint. He complimented Shen Hanyu and gave him a warning. Whether it was intentional or not, he had placed himself, Shen Hanyu, and Zhen Yiping in the same circle as the Zhen family.
From what Zhen Chongming said, it wasn’t hard to understand that Shen Hanyu could come because Zhen Yiping insisted on it. Alas, there were still some objections in the group.
In the future, if Shen Hanyu did not make a name for himself, others would think that he had entered the family because of his relationship with the Zhen family, and that he would not be able to take on great responsibilities.
“I’ll do my best,” Shen Hanyu bowed slightly.
Zhen Yiping then introduced the second person, “This is our group’s Executive Vice President, Xu Kejing. He’s also a senior member of the company. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can just ask Kejing.”
Xu Kejing was no more than forty years old, and there were already some spots on his temples. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked very solemn.
He glanced at Shen Hanyu with his eagle-like sharp eyes and said indifferently, “I hope to have a good working relationship with President Shen in the future.”
Shen Hanyu could feel a slight sense of contempt in the other party’s eyes.
He had seen Xu Kejing’s information before. This person had entered the Zhen family group more than 20 years ago and had started from the bottom. He was Zhen Yiping’s favorite man, and his business skills were naturally not to be underestimated. He was highly regarded by the company.
Thinking about it, he was probably somewhat disdainful of a young ‘comrade’ who was recommended by Zhen Yiping to a high position.
Shen Hanyu didn’t mind and nodded.
The next few people to be introduced were all important people in the company. They were not young and were about the same age as Xu Kejing.
They weren’t very optimistic about Shen Hanyu’s arrival, but they were still in the Zhen family’s group.
Therefore, they would naturally obey the person Zhen Yiping chose unconditionally, and their attitude toward Shen Hanyu was also very respectful.
The last person to be introduced was very young, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He had handsome features and a calm aura.
The man stood up and extended his hand to Shen Hanyu. “I’m Tang Bochuan, President of the group’s Investment Department. It’s an honor to meet you, President Shen.”
“Bochuan is considered your direct subordinate.”
Zhen Yiping laughed. “You guys will probably interact more often in the future.”
Shen Hanyu looked at Tang Bochuan a few more times, not because he hadn’t seen him in a while, but because he was Zhen Yiping’s most trusted person, and also a distant nephew from Old Lady Zhen’s maternal family.
Back then, when the Zhen family had gone to search for a doctor with great fanfare, they had used the name of the old lady’s nephew. It was Tang Bochuan who came up with this idea.
However, his high position in the Zhen Group was not because of his relationship with the Zhen family, but because of his absolute strength.
Shen Hanyu had seen his resume and appreciated his talent.
Sang Qianqian had initially thought that she would only be going to see Old Lady Zhen and Zhen Yiping that night.
It was only until Shen Hanyu found out that a few of the Zhen family’s friends and relatives were at the dinner party tonight.
As Shen Hanyu held her hand and pulled her through the courtyard, Sang Qianqian started to feel a little nervous..
