$657 When You Come Back, I Will Go There Again in Person.

Chen Pingan returned to the curtain and looked around.

Tao Zhixing and his three men had already sat together with the group of Beijing officials, drinking and chatting to build relationships.

This was what he wanted to see.

The leaders of a small institution in the northwest region, such as the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, would naturally not miss the opportunity to have a meal and drink with officials in Beijing to build relationships.

He sat down and ate something, and did not take the initiative to toast.

But at this moment, Hu Xianmei pulled Lanxiang over.

The two walked to Chen Shaohua to toast him, and Chen Pingan buried his head in eating and ignored this.

After a while, Hu Xianmei's voice sounded behind Chen Pingan.

"Mr. Chen..."

Chen Pingan heard the voice, put down his chopsticks and turned around.

The perfume on Hu Xianmei and Lanxiang was already very faint, but it could still be smelled at such a close distance.

Hu Xianmei said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, thank you for your hospitality. We had a comfortable dinner tonight."

Chen Pingan smiled, "It's my duty. I'm glad to have you here."

Hu Xianmei glanced at Lanxiang, "Mr. Chen, I heard you say before that you like Lanxiang's work very much?"

Without waiting for Chen Pingan to speak, she said to Lanxiang: "Lanxiang, Mr. Chen likes your work. I guess we all have the opportunity to come here because of you. Don't you want to toast Mr. Chen with a few glasses of wine?"

Lanxiang is about 1.7 meters tall. At this moment, because of the wine and the fire in the curtain, she is not cold. She took off her coat and wore a white cashmere sweater, which highlighted her beautiful figure.

She raised her glass slightly, "Since Sister Hu has said so, this glass is for Mr. Chen. Thank you for liking my work."

Chen Pingan raised his glass and lowered it a little, "Professor Lan, you are too polite. I should be the one to toast you."

Hu Xianmei watched with a smile on the side. After the two finished drinking, she took the initiative to pick up the Maozi from the man's table and poured wine for both Chen Pingan and Lanxiang.

"Mr. Chen, I also toast you. Thank you for the hospitality!"

She didn't say anything else, and Chen Pingan didn't care. He smiled and clinked glasses with her.

When he sat down to continue eating, Hu Xianmei had already pulled Lanxiang to turn around and started to talk to Edwards and toast.

In general, women in the unit are either completely unable to drink, or have a good alcohol tolerance.

Coincidentally, Hu Xianmei belongs to the latter.

Edwards drank red wine. He picked up the wine glass and stood up with a smile to chat with the two ladies.

…

When it was about ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Pingan drank about 4 liang of white wine, but fortunately he had eaten something, so he felt that he was fine.

The women's side was almost over.

Liu Qing and Lan Xiang sat side by side, and no one knew what they were talking about.

And Chen Shuhui sat on the other side.

Brianna had already gone home with Delma, and the little girl needed to go to bed early, which was very important.

The other women, those without children, were still drinking, and two were smoking, but it was nothing.

No one cared.

The men's side, they all drank almost all, except for the mercenaries who were drinking beer and chatting while drinking, and the male students were also chatting with those in the calligraphy and painting academy at this time.

Chen Pingan's eyes swept across the whole place, walked over to say hello to them, and said that the rooms had been arranged, please feel free to play.

It doesn't matter what time it is.

He walked to his father and whispered a few words, and when his father nodded in agreement, he turned around and went to his mother and Huihui.

Liu Qing saw him coming over, "What's up?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "Nothing, I have to go to Paris early tomorrow morning, so I have to rest early."

Lan Xiang and others heard his voice and stood up and looked at him.

"Uh... Professor Lan, I came here just to say hello to you. There are rooms in the manor, and they are all arranged."

Chen Shuhui interrupted and said, "Yes, everything is arranged. Don't worry, brother. My mother and I will arrange for several sisters."

Huang Yuchen smiled and nodded, "It's okay, Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry."

Hu Xianmei kept a smile on her face, "Mr. Chen, thank you for the hospitality."

She said it simply, without any other words.

Chen Pingan looked at Lanxiang and said, "My mom and my sister will make arrangements for you. Although the manor is a little remote, it is safe.

You can have fun tomorrow."

Lanxiang nodded, "Thank you."

Chen Pingan said to Chen Shuhui and Chen Yangyang, "You two are more or less the same. Don't drink too much and make yourself uncomfortable."

Chen Shuhui laughed, "No way!"

Chen Yangyang picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Pingan, when I drink, you may not even drink beer. I have a very good alcohol tolerance!"

Chen Pingan shook his head, smiled at a few people, turned around and left.

Tomorrow he will go to Paris. If he follows his own ideas, Huo Xiuwen and Huo Shiyun will just have to wait and see.

And now because of Li Yifei, he can't turn against the Huo family directly.

What he is worried about is that if Chen Xiaolong is not clear about his ideas and there is a conflict between the two sides, it may affect his parents and Huihui because of the Chen family. That is definitely not the scene he wants to see.

Back in the room, Chen Pingan took a quick shower, changed his clothes, sat in the living room, lit a cigar, made a cup of tea, and waited quietly.

It was not until 11 o'clock that Chen Shaohua came back.

Chen Shuhui and Chen Yangyang followed behind and went straight upstairs.

After a while, Liu Qing and Lan Xiang walked in.

Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment.

Liu Qing said: "Professor Lan lives at home, I have already packed the guest room."

What surprised Chen Ping'an was that Lan Xiang's face was actually a little red.

This is obviously because Liu Qing is too enthusiastic and makes others embarrassed.

He stood up, walked over and said, "Professor Lan, don't feel embarrassed.

There are relatively few houses in the manor, and there are not many guest rooms. The family stays here when they come, and the conditions are relatively better. "

Lan Xiang has lived for more than 20 years, and she has seen people who fawned over her, and people who kneeled down and licked her. She really didn't know how to deal with such enthusiasm when the family met for the first time.

The point is, there is nothing rude about this person.

Whether it was Chen Pingan's parents and sister, or other people in the manor, she could feel that everyone was really happy.

So much so that when they were outside before, the two people in the capital must have known about their backgrounds, and they were polite and did not take any offense when they came to toast.

But it was her first time to live in someone else's main house... This made her a little confused about how to refuse.

I asked but there was no room available!

Lan Xiang looked at Chen Ping'an who had changed his clothes, and smiled, "It's nothing, I brought a change of clothes..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized that I really shouldn't have said this.

Liu Qing said on the side: "Miss Lan, let's go, I'll take you to your room."

Lan Xiang smiled at Chen Shaohua and Chen Pingan, "Then I'll go up first."

Chen Shaohua and Chen Pingan both smiled and nodded to her.

Liu Qing pulled her upstairs and whispered as he walked: "By the way, the pajamas and bath towels in the room are all clean. If you need anything else, you can tell Hui Hui. She is right next door to you. ”

Lan Xiang responded in a low voice and followed her slowly upstairs.

downstairs.

Chen Pingan turned around and walked towards Chen Shaohua's study.

Chen Shaohua drank a lot. When he saw him going to the study, he walked over and asked, "What? Is something wrong?"

Chen Pingan responded.

"I'm going to Paris tomorrow.

Chen Xiaolong has to go and have a look, otherwise I'm worried that he will get into trouble. "

He raised his head and glanced at his father, "I'm not afraid of him getting into trouble. What I'm afraid of is that if he wants to take advantage of the Huo family, I don't know what price he will pay later.

Especially, I don't want you and my mother to be involved. "

Chen Shaohua pondered for a moment and then said: "Although I don't know much about this kid Xiaolong, I know your third uncle very well.

With Shaojie's ability, he would not raise a brainless heir.

If Xiaolong was really the kind of person who couldn't help him, your third uncle wouldn't have ignored him in recent years, so he could safely leave him to your fifth uncle.

You are still a child yourself, so don’t worry so much about things that aren’t yours to worry about. "

Chen Pingan took a few puffs of his cigar in silence and put down the butt, "I have actually been walking on thin ice in the past two years.

I did what I promised my third uncle, so I had the opportunity to have equal conversations later.

Xiaolong was just anxious to prove himself.

But Huo Xiuwen is not that easy to use.

I myself always give him a chance and then let him go.

Being involved too much is not a good thing..."

Chen Shaohua pinched his brows, exhaled a breath of wine and said: "You invited so many people to your home, your mother and I will cooperate with you to finish it.

Although I don’t know what your intention is, if you are just trying to attract Professor Lan, I think it’s a bit much. "

Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment. The topic changed so quickly that he couldn't keep up.

It seems that dad is not very satisfied with this matter?

"Only you can feel those paintings. Your mother, me, and Huihui also saw those paintings, but we didn't have the feeling you said.

If you want to pursue her, your mother and I won't stop you.

But, I heard that Professor Lan’s family background is very deep in the northwest..."

Chen Ping'an shook his head, "I don't have any thoughts about that yet. As for the future, that is a matter for the future.

This time I just wanted to express my gratitude.

But it brought some trouble to the family, this..."

Chen Shaohua interrupted him and said: "It's nothing. What I mean is... you are famous now. It should be hard enough to deal with Li Yifei's side. If you provoke another big boss..."

Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I understand."

If he really offends another party, some people will inevitably think that he is stirring up trouble between several forces.

"When the matter with Li Yifei is over, I probably won't go back.

As long as I don't go back, no matter what happens in China, it won't have much impact on me.

Hiding is also a way. "

"Then do you think that if you invite them to your home this time, they won't come to your door?"

Chen Pingan spread his hands and said, "Then I'll work hard and find a place to build a nest?"

Chen Shaohua glared at him, "Forget it, it's late, let's go to bed early.

When you go to Paris, your mother and I will help you greet these guests at home.

Don't say too much after you go.

After you come back, I will go there again in person. "
