Gu Mian followed Cheng Che for a few steps, and then an elderly middle-aged man walked over.
He looked arrogant and had a kind smile on his face, but Gu Mian felt that the person was unkind.
Third Uncle Cheng glanced at Gu Mian, then smiled at Cheng Che, "It seems that this is my daughter-in-law?"
Cheng Che held Gu Mian's hand unconsciously with a slight force, "Yes."
Third Uncle Cheng nodded, "You two look very good together."
Cheng Che smiled faintly, "Thank you." He introduced him to Gu Mian, "This is the third uncle, Cheng Zhi's father."
Gu Mian actually had a hunch in her heart, as he looked somewhat similar to Cheng Zhi.
"Third uncle."
Cheng Sanshu laughed twice, "Good, good."
After greeting them, Cheng Sanshu seemed to casually start talking, "Nephew, I heard that you are going to cooperate with Mr. Smith."
There was a sudden flash in Cheng Che's eyes.
He curled his lips, "Third uncle is joking. It's just some nonsense."
Cheng Sanshu sighed, and a bright light flashed across his eyes, "It's what I had thought. But I am very optimistic about you. If you are not sure about the cooperation, so what?"
"Then may your good words come true."
After he left, Cheng Che's face became cold.
The conversation was a temptation and a provocation.
So many people felt that he was about to cooperate with Mr. Smith, and gave him high expectations, then what if the cooperation was not successful? Did it mean that he, the heir of the Cheng Financial Group, was actually nothing but mediocre?
Many people should be looking forward to seeing him fall and laugh at him.
Not long ago, Cheng Che had walked all the way in the entertainment circle before and saw more invisible swords and daggers. His experience over the years had made him not very concerned about other people's views.
Third Uncle Cheng's secret provocation would not affect his mood.
"He…" Gu Mian didn't expect to see the big boss of the Cheng family so soon. Sure enough, the more dangerous the person inside, the more kind he looked on the outside.
Seeing the kind face, one could relax one's vigilance.
Cheng Che squeezed Gu Mian's palm and reminded her in a low voice, "I can't see his true face. Stay away from him."
"Okay."
The next day was New Year's Eve, so most of the Cheng family who came to Old Cheng's house lived in vacant guest rooms.
Old Cheng's house was very large. Even if there were more than ten people living in it, there were still many rooms.
They were very lively.
At least the Cheng family was harmonious on the surface, and they were so happy that one couldn't see the undercurrent surging underneath.
They ate New Year's Eve dinner.
Cheng Zhi was also there during the New Year's Eve dinner, and he looked a lot more mature than before.
In the past, there was always a bit of scorn on his face like a rich man, confident and assertive, but this time, the scorn and frivolousness on him were all reduced.
She didn't know how he was these days, he seemed to have become calm and reliable all at once.
After dinner, Cheng Zhi proactively gave an invitation to Cheng Che, "Do you want to come with me to meet my friends and have have fun with me?"
For Cheng Zhi, on days like New Year's Eve, he had to accompany family members but also friends.
Cheng Zhi was calm, as if nothing had happened before.
Cheng Che also agreed very simply, "Okay."
Although it had been many days since he returned to Old Cheng's house, he was not yet familiar with the second generation circle of Hong Kong City.
Most of the people Mr. Cheng introduced to him were people of the older generation. So he hadn't really contacted people of his own age yet.
Cheng Zhi said, "I will take you to meet some friends later."
"Okay."
Cheng Zhi led Gu Mian, and Cheng Che to a bar he and his friends had opened.
Almost all his friends had arrived before them.
In addition to Cheng Zhi's good brother Jiang Nan, there were several new faces.
There were men and women, roughly a dozen people.
