Chapter 180 The toad wants to eat swan meat
Zhongli's loud laughter was quickly transmitted to the other side by the radio equipment.

"Damn! Zhongli is here too? Are you having a party behind our backs?" Song Yang's tone actually contained a grievance.

"What kind of gathering are you having?" Zhongli snatched the phone and yelled at the other party, "I was kicked out of my home and now I'm at Xixi's house. Brother Jiang Han disliked my high wattage light bulb and asked my brother to take me away!"

She is well-known.

Seeing that Zhongli was making a fuss, Shen Chaoxi reminded her to boil the pot so that she could cook the meat.

"Damn! You guys are eating hotpot, I want to go too! Shuoxi, let's go to Chongyuan Road!"

The call was quickly hung up.

Well! I didn’t drive the people away, but I attracted two more!

Half an hour later, two more people joined the table.

Jong Suk Hee and Song Yang came from a friend's newly opened bar not far from here. They were both drunk, but their minds were still clear.

"Eating hotpot on a snowy day is quite an enjoyment!" Song Yang picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and he immediately cried out in pain from the heat.

Jong Suk-hee eats much more elegantly than him.

"Hey! They said they wanted us to go and show their support for the opening of a bar, but I was forced to drink two glasses of wine on an empty stomach. Don't even mention it!

But don't worry, I'll take this girl home in a moment."

Zhongli was whispering with Shen Chaoxi, and rolled his eyes at his brother after hearing this.

"I do not go!"

Song Yang chuckled.

"Why rush? After dinner, let's find some entertainment. If it's late, we can stay overnight. Jiang Han, we will stay on the first floor and will not go beyond the second floor!"

In the past, the three of us had gatherings at home. Since we grew up together, there was no need to be polite.

Even with the addition of two grown men, Zhongli still hadn't finished the table of dishes he ordered.

After dinner, the three grown men went to the teahouse to drink tea. Shen Chaoxi didn't let her aunt come over. She instructed Zhongli to help clean up the table and the kitchen.

Zhongli had never done housework before, but he thought it was interesting, so he put on disposable gloves and put the untouched ingredients into a plastic bag and sealed it.

While doing this, we can't help but talk about other things.

Zhongli changed the topic to the Bai family.

"Bai Jingran was sentenced to ten years immediately. That's too easy for him!"

In Beijing circles, the young master of the Bai family is notorious and does not deserve any sympathy.

Shen Chaoxi subconsciously looked towards the tea room. Shang Jianghan was sitting with his back to this side, legs crossed, leisurely on the single sofa at the tea table booth. His left hand was resting on the armrest of the rosewood sofa, a half-burned cigarette between his fingers. His face was reflected diagonally on the floor-to-ceiling glass window, his features clear and handsome in the light and shadow.

No one knew what the three of them were talking about, but the man always had a faint smile on his face.

Looks like he's in a good mood.

"He is 26 years old this year, right?" Shen Chaoxi asked casually.

"Who? Oh, Bai Jingran, it seems like it. He will be released ten years later and still be able to enjoy himself for a few years. I just don't know if the Bai family can still support him!"

The tone of Zhongli's voice went beyond the attitude of just watching the fun, and Shen Chaoxi couldn't help but become suspicious.

"You have a big problem with him! Has he ever offended you?"

The Bai family's status is far inferior to that of the Zhong family. Although Shen Chaoxi has doubts, he also knows that Bai Jingran dare not openly provoke Zhongli.

"How dare he!" Zhongli shouted angrily, and the plastic bag in his hand was almost torn to pieces.

It seems that the grudge is quite big!
Shen Chaoxi quietly packed up and waited for gossip.

"When I first returned to China, Ruan Lingling had a crazy idea and wanted me to be his daughter-in-law. She even asked Aunt Bai, oh, that is, Brother Jiang Han's mother, to talk to my mother!
What kind of character is my own child!
Aunt Bai must have known about this, and she really tried to test my mother in various ways. Later, my mother got anxious, and their relationship became distant! "

It's indeed like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!
Shen Chaoxi felt a little angry when Zhongli said this.

Song Yang has a bad reputation, but his family is upright. Shen Chaoxi still thinks he is not worthy of Zhongli, let alone Bai Jingran, that scumbag!

"You're right! Imprisonment for ten years is too easy for him!"

The Bai family will never rise again, and Bai Jingran will have to suffer hardship in the future.

The two girls were chatting while cleaning up, talking about the Bai family.

Meanwhile, the three men were also talking about the Bai family. Song Yang was the first to know the intention of the court's ruling.

His family has connections there, so it's easy to find out.

The three of them were paying attention to the Bai Group's acquisition.

"Jiang Han, once the verdict is announced, the Bai family may not even have empty boxes left, so you'd better hurry up!" Song Yang has his own calm side in the business world.

The light from the lawn outside the window was warm and dim, and the snowflakes were fluttering, not very clear in the shadows.

The room is filled with the aroma of tea, and the fragrance of the best pre-rain Longjing tea is in the air.

Shang Jianghan touched his forehead, he was also troubled by this matter.

After a moment of silence, Jong Suk-hee came up with an idea.

"Why don't we put pressure on them? They are not relatives anyway. They are just fighting overtly or covertly in the business world. There is no need to worry about face!"

In the Bai Group acquisition case, Zhong Hongguang intended to train Zhong Shuoxi and let him take the lead in the front line.

Song Yang agreed.

"I think it's feasible. I'll ask them to hold off on the verdict for a few more days."

After a moment's hesitation, Shang Jianghan nodded.

The three reached a consensus.

After chatting about work, I cleaned up the kitchen.

Song Yang suggested playing cards.

Several people gathered in the sofa area.

"Hey! Nice flowers, you are quite romantic, right? Chao Xi bought them, right? I knew Jiang Han didn't have such a taste!"

The pink and white roses were placed on the low table at the corner of the sofa, and Song Yang was the first to discover it.

He is the kind of person who will hype up any little thing he gets and profit at the expense of others, so naturally he couldn't miss this opportunity.

Zhongli liked the pear juice made by Sister Liu, so he mixed it into a cup and took a sip before choking!

Shen Chaoxi glared at her and took out an unopened deck of playing cards from the drawer of the coffee table.

Lianzhong’s annual meeting is scheduled for mid-January. Every year, various gifts are customized as souvenirs, and playing cards are one of them. Shang Jianghan brought back two decks and wanted Shen Chaoxi to give some suggestions.

Things that embody corporate culture have been around for a long time. Shen Chaoxi took a few glances at it and thought it was impeccable, so he put it away.

Zhongli and Song Yang sang a different tune.

"Brother Song Yang, you are really wrong. These flowers were bought by Brother Jiang Han!"

"Is this true?" Song Yang couldn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, ask Xixi. I saw it with my own eyes. Brother Jiang Han came in with flowers and almost gave them to the wrong person."

When talking about this, Shang Jianghan's expression looked a little unnatural.

He took the cards from Shen Chaoxi and whispered, "Go cut some fruit."

Shen Chaoxi lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. When she nodded, her fingertips were grasped by the palm of her hand with light calluses.

A tingling sensation spread through his fingers, and Shen Chaoxi fled into the kitchen.

When Shen Chaoxi came out of the kitchen, they had stopped discussing the topic of flowers.

The time spent playing cards passed quickly and it was almost twelve o'clock when it was over.

The other three did not go home.

The first floor guest rooms were requisitioned.

As it turned out, whenever Zhongli felt sleepy, he didn't need any help from Yomi and would fall asleep in a second with his head on the pillow.

Jong Suk-hee and Song Yang drank some wine, washed up quickly, and went back to their room to sleep.

The lobby on the first floor is quiet and peaceful, with warm lighting.

When Shen Chaoxi came out of Zhongli's room, the first thing he saw was Shang Jianghan sitting on the sofa in the living room, with his back leaning against the soft chair back, gently pinching the petals with one hand and rubbing them slowly.
