C369 New Year's Eve
0Xiao Chen's arrival naturally made the children incomparably excited.
Previously, those young men from the Dragonwing Hall who were still surrounded were instantly thrown to the side.
This caused those young men from the Dragonwing Hall to feel an inexplicable sense of loss, but they didn't dare to compete with Xiao Chen for anything.
Even though they had been pestered by the children for an entire day, Xiao Chen and Chu Huaiyu didn't feel tired at all.
They stayed until night time. It was considered as having a reunion dinner with the family of the orphanage in advance. Only then did Xiao Chen and Chu Huaiyu leave.
They were surrounded by the smiles of the children all day long. Whether it was Xiao Chen or Chu Huaiyu, they all felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
However, as New Year's Eve drew closer and closer, the hidden disappointment in Aunt Tia's eyes also became stronger and stronger.
On New Year's Eve, Tia Ce, who had been staying in Yanjing, also rushed back in a hurry.
When Aunt Tia saw her own son, the disappointment in her eyes finally disappeared.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't come back? If you leave, then work..."
Aunt Tia saw Tia Ce and started to blame him.
But anyone could hear it. There wasn't the slightest hint of reproach in her tone.
Therefore, Tia Ce only smiled. He held his mother's arm like a child and started to act coquettishly.
Tonight, Xiao Chen and his family were going back to the Chu family for dinner, and Lin Yichao and his little lover were also going back to the Lin family.
There was only Tia Ce and his mother left in the huge mansion, so it was inevitable that it would be deserted.
Xiao Chen had already thought of this.
Therefore, he gave Old Master Zhang a call.
Under the old man's arrangements, he arranged for Tia Ce to buy a house near Binhai Park, a high-class apartment, and a medium-sized Jiangjing house.
Counting it all in, it would cost more than ten million, but Xiao Chen paid it all in one go.
During this period of time, Aunt Tia had taken care of Chu Huaiyu and her daughter a lot. She helped wash the clothes and also helped cook.
In the end of this year, Xiao Chen really did not have anything good to take care of.
Thinking about it, after all, Tia Ce and his mother were a family. There must be a place for them to settle down, and Tia Ce would also be transferred back.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Chen decided to give the mother and son a home. He even greeted Jiang Loong at the same time.
When Tia Ce drove his mother back to her new home, Jiang Loong personally went to find her.
After exchanging a few words with Aunt Tia, he pulled Tia Ce to the side.
"Old Jiang, what are you doing? Why are you being so secretive?" Tia Ce and Jiang Loong were old acquaintances, so they spoke very casually.
"I have no choice. Sir has given me a mission. But this matter still depends on your own opinion."
"What are you talking about?" He did not understand what Jiang Loong meant.
Jiang Loong did not beat around the bush. He immediately took out a thick document envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Tia Ce's hand.
"Sir has extended your leave to the sixteenth of the first month, so you have to choose carefully during this half a month."
After saying that, Jiang Loong patted Tia Ce's shoulder and bowed to Aunt Tia before leaving with a smile on his face.
Tia Ce held the document bag and stood there for a long time. After a while, he opened the document bag.
When he saw the large number of photos inside, and they were all photos of women, Tia Ce was stunned.
"What is this?" Aunt Tia noticed Tia Ce was in a daze and looked at him curiously.
He quickly closed the document bag and said shyly, "No, it's nothing!"
As he said that, he also put away the document bag. However, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
At such an old age, he had actually given up on the idea of getting married.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Chen and Jiang Loong would still think about this matter for him.
It was hard to say whether he was touched or not.
However, in the depths of his heart, something that had been silent for a long time suddenly became active.
Xiao Chen did not know what Tia Ce was feeling right now.
However, as the person who followed him the earliest, Xiao Chen had given him the greatest trust.
At the same time, the only person he felt sorry for in his group was Tia Ce.
As the earliest elder, Tia Ce's cultivation was not as good as Faang Yuan's, and he was also not as good as Jiang Loong in terms of management and planning.
Therefore, although he also relied on Tia Ce, he had always let Tia Ce play a supporting role.
Furthermore, Tia Ce was a filial son, but because of him, he and his mother had been separated for a long time.
Even so, Tia Ce was doing his best to complete the task he assigned to him, and had never complained about anything.
Tia Ce was the only one who followed him, and that was why he didn't have such selfish motives.
These reasons made Xiao Chen feel a little guilty.
Therefore, all along, Xiao Chen had been thinking about a problem: how should he compensate Tia Ce.
Besides the trust he had in Tia Ce, there was also a reason why Tia Ce was transferred to Yanjing.
This was also the first time Tia Ce was the leader of a complete team.
However, the matters in Yanjing would not end for the time being. Therefore, Tia Ce should still be staying in Yanjing for a period of time.
However, during the New Year, Xiao Chen could not bear to see Tia Ce and Aunt Tia separated.
He deliberately gave Tia Ce a house as a New Year gift, but the house could not completely replace the house.
That was why he thought of finding a companion for Tia Ce. This way, Tia Ce would not have to worry too much about Aunt Tia when he was outside in the future.
He could at least feel more at ease in his heart.
Of course, he would not say these words to Tia Ce, nor would he mention it to any of his subordinates.
After sending Aunt Tia away, the time slowly came to noon. After the few of them had lunch, they began to prepare.
Speaking of which, this was also the first time Xiao Chen and Chu Huaiyu went home for the New Year. In the past, they used to be in the villa, and the two of them faced each other coldly.
Therefore, whether it was Xiao Chen or Chu Huaiyu, they were all very concerned about this and made quite a lot of preparations.
However, the time did not stop for a moment because of this. Very soon, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Counting the time, Xiao Chen and the other two people finally set off from the courtyard. They carried gifts full of gifts and rushed to Chu Yingxiong's villa.
Chu Yingxiong had already tidied up a long time ago and personally went out to welcome them.
The smile on his face was exceptionally bright, but it wasn't just the warmth of looking at his family's younger generation.
Under that smile, there was also a faint sense of alienation and fawning.
It couldn't be helped. Whether it was Xiao Chen or Chu Huaiyu, they were no longer just the granddaughter and grandson-in-law of Chu family.
One was the chairman of Merchant Union, and the other was a major shareholder behind four or five reputable large companies in the southeast.
Now that their identities were revealed, countless people in the southeast were scrambling to please them.
As for the matter back then, even though the times had changed, when they got along with each other again, it was inevitable that they would be a little reserved and a little awkward.
It was Lau Ruman calling him "father" that made this polite and courteous atmosphere finally have some changes.
