Chapter 1574 Getting Married
Seeing Nangong Maomao's weird look, Chen Taizhong was mentally prepared for something strange to happen. However, no matter how well prepared he was, he was still startled by the other party's words and couldn't help but shout "Jie..."
Fortunately, his self-control ability was quite strong and he finally swallowed his words before saying the word "marriage". Seeing others looking at him with strange eyes, he coughed twice, smiled coquettishly at everyone, and dragged Nangong Maomao to the house.
the other side of.
Of course, he didn't notice that as the two of them walked away, Ma Xiaoya raised her hand and played a raw card of 80,000. Su Wenxin pushed the card with a smile and said, "It's a mess."
"Why did you just throw out Zhang Zi who was so angry?" Mr. Yu on the side was filled with indignation. She and Mr. Su were also old May friends, so there was no need to hide their words. "The banker obviously has a 10,000-character name, you, you...
…Why don’t you fight, you arrogant Beifeng?”
"You touched it wrong." Ma Xiaoya's answer made Mr. Yu almost vomit blood. The next moment she found that Xiao Ma glanced at the two people in the corner of the room and understood a little bit.
I’d better do it.”
Regardless of the quarrel they were having here, Chen Taizhong dragged Nangong Maomao to a far corner and asked in a low voice, "Please ask Nangong, what do you mean by marriage...?"
"Marriage means getting married, welcoming the bride, worshiping heaven and earth, entering the bridal chamber and so on." Nangong Maomao looked at him and smiled, "Taizhong, you don't even know this, right?"
"Stop talking to me. You're so impatient if you keep talking nonsense like this." Of course Chen Taizhong knew that the other party was making fun of him. Ma Xiaoya was not only five or six years older than him, but she was also widowed. She knew that there could be nothing between the two of them.
As a result, "Nangong, you can't make jokes like this if you have something to say."
"It's really a marriage." Nangong Maomao was still waiting to say something but his face really darkened, so he stopped joking and explained with a dry laugh, "Actually, it should be called getting married, not getting married..."
To put it simply, this is a custom in Nangong's circle. It was learned from other circles. They rely on matchmaking. Although most of the people in charge are men, even if there are women in charge, they may not be beautiful, but there is no doubt that they
Everyone has their own beauty resources. The word "wealth and sex" in public relations these days is always unavoidable.
Of course, some guys with strong tastes still have the resources of handsome guys. Handsome guys can serve women as well as men. As a side note, if you really want to get the right idea, handsome guys are more effective than beautiful women, especially... against foreign countries.
When people.
Ahem, I'm going too far... In short, although this kind of resource exists for the purpose of doing things, there are many of them, including those who have seen it right and use it to fly to Gao Zhi'er. It's not realistic, but it's like getting someone to support you.
It’s also normal.
But those who play the role of support are usually one or both parties with insufficient status. For example, Ma Xiaoya is Mr. Yu’s right-hand man. If he didn’t have a strong superior, he would be qualified to fly solo. If someone wants to support her, they can’t do it so quietly.
In addition to Ma Xiaoya's willingness to disappear, she also has to give an explanation to Mr. Yu, otherwise she will not go on the road.
What if both parties have strong enough identities? This is what Nangong Maomao said. If they want, both parties can get married!
Of course, this marriage does not have a marriage certificate and is not protected by law, but no matter what, the circle recognizes that you two are a couple. Other women can no longer seduce this man, and other men can no longer covet that woman - marriage is not
Legal but protected by those in the circle.
To put it bluntly, it’s just four words: fake phoenix and false phoenix - but it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, the important thing is that people in the circle think you two are a couple!
This form of fixing sexual partners is very beneficial to the development of the circle. Firstly, it reduces the possibility of jealousy. Secondly, it can also help the circle maintain some key figures. Of course, this maintenance is based on the conjugal affection of the fake Phoenix, not the real love.
Taking nude photos of people's "couples" to blackmail them - that kind of method is too low-level.
It can be imagined that the binding force of this thing is really very limited. Only people in the circle know that the influence of both husband and wife who are messing around outside the circle is limited to this circle.
But on the other hand, this is good for the stability of the circle, and it is also good for expanding the circle. It is not the 21st century soon. Arranged marriages are still very common among influential families in the capital.
If he can't find true love and finds it outside, he's willing to have someone share his happiness, right?
During the explanation process, Nangong Maomao emphasized one point, "If Xiao Ma does something with you, if someone bullies her, we will have a reason to help her come forward... This is my buddy's serious outer room. It has done things and has been prosperous.
It's said that those are not just random pheasants picked up on the street."
Chen Taizhong was speechless for a long time before he replied quietly, "Then if there is a woman who doesn't understand me, you can also come to Xiaomalu's aid and help me, right?"
"Isn't this vulgar?" Nangong Maomao smacked her lips and looked at him with disdain, "Even if a serious couple who has obtained the certificate really wants to have an affair, who can stop them? To put it bluntly, it's just for fun."
"Then if our relationship as husband and wife doesn't get along..." Chen Taizhong was thoughtful, but Nangong laughed before he finished his sentence. "Then it's over and done with. How simple is it to just say hello?"
"That's true..." Chen Taizhong hesitated for a long time. As a very possessive man, he certainly hopes to have a group of people to help him supervise Ma Xiaoya. This is a good thing. After all, he is not based in Beijing - Xiao Ma, you can find someone else.
Man, you have to let me know that we get along well and break up easily. If anyone dares to make me cuckold in a daze, I will make that *husband’s dirty woman disappear from the world.
But this marriage sounds a bit exaggerated. He frowned, "Isn't getting married just the same as getting married? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this word...?"
"Is there something wrong? Getting married means becoming relatives. You and Ma Xiaoya have already boarded the car, so you have to make up your tickets, right?" Nangong Maomao replied with a smile, "To tell you the truth, Xiao Chen..."
When he said this, his expression slightly changed. "What I have lost by marrying you is Ma Xiaoya. She is looking for a job in the imperial city. She cannot go to Tiannan to cause any trouble for you. On the contrary, I want to protect it for you."
If we want to trick you, we won’t use this method, right?”
"It's okay if I don't take advantage of this, right?" Chen Taizhong glanced at him and the other party said it was reasonable, but he refused to let go of the caution in his heart. "Once this gets out, my reputation will be ruined."
"What rumors are there? There is no crime of 'de facto marriage' these days. There is only 'illegal cohabitation'. You two are living together in the south and the other in the north." Nangong Maomao answered him plausibly, "This is what Xiaoma wants to see."
You are so happy to do things, but she is such a pitiful child, and I won’t be able to be a matchmaker if you leave it to someone else.”
"Matchmaker?" Chen Taizhong was startled again when he heard this. "There is also a matchmaker...Isn't it too evil?"
"Don't you have to look like a married woman when you get married?" Nangong Maomao added, "That is to say, the world has changed. In the past, those who had some status would go to a brothel to have tea, eat flowers and wine, and hold a poetry party. After that, everyone looked at each other and then talked about entering the bridal chamber and so on. What is more important is that there are three matchmakers and six betrothals. The formalities of accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, applying for dates, and welcoming in person are all indispensable... "
At this point, he sighed with emotion, "It's not like people nowadays just have a meal and then go to bed with you. In an age where fast food is popular, there are fewer and fewer people who are discerning."
Looking at his thick lips and talking non-stop, Chen Taizhong couldn't help but sigh sincerely, "Nangong, why didn't I find you so eloquent before?"
"Haha, forget it if you don't want to. Just pretend I didn't say anything." Nangong smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but his posture was a bit funny because of his short stature. "Isn't this just a case of everyone looking for something to do when they are free?"
"You guys are really boring." Not to mention the last sentence, Chen Taizhong could tell that they really didn't mean to harm him. To put it bluntly, they were just too busy to find a way to pass their time. "I'm not being pretentious. You guys are having a rough time." Isn’t it too corrupt?”
As he spoke, he murmured to himself that this place is really not worth visiting. Look what these people are thinking about. They really do whatever they want and do whatever they want. They even play house. They have so much personality and little self-control. It is too easy for my master to slip into the abyss of depravity.
Little did he know that this was also his misunderstanding. Mr. Chen was well-known in Tiannan in Phoenix, but in the eyes of Nangong Maomao and the others, he was really not good enough. They couldn't take advantage of him to fawn over him.
Yes, Chen Taizhong has some connections with Zou Jue, Shao Guoli, Wei Minghe and even Sister Sun. He also has a good relationship with Huang Hanxiang, but what's the use of having a good relationship? Everyone is hanging out in Beijing, who doesn't know a few prominent figures? But when you really need to do something, you still have to talk about distance.
"This has nothing to do with being corrupt or not," Nangong Maomao answered him calmly, "There are fewer and fewer people who are discerning these days, and all of them are as lacking in cultural heritage as the nouveau riche."
Chapter 1575: The abyss of sin
Nangong Maomao's words vaguely insinuated that Chen Taizhong was a nouveau riche, but because he spoke so calmly, Chen did not realize this problem. He only noticed three words - "pay attention to people".
My brother is a particular person! Chen Taizhong has no doubt about this. However, if he wants to be a particular person, he has to "get married" to Ma Xiaoya. The price is a little high. After hesitating, he finally smiled bitterly, "Brother, I am a little bit in the system." Things have to be considered.”
"Haha, you don't need to say it, we can all understand it." Nangong Maomao smiled slightly and shook her head indifferently, "But Xiaoya is still looking forward to it. The show will be over after a while. Remember to advise her... it's better to have a better attitude towards this girl. Not bad, but a little thoughtful."
"No matter how serious her thoughts are, there is no way that she and I can live this long. I haven't been married yet." Chen Taizhong is hard-hearted and is not easily moved. It has been more than seven hundred years. If my first marriage partner is this second-hand goods... ...You don’t mean to bully the gods, do you?
"It's only her second time," Nangong Maomao replied nonchalantly. He was also on fire and didn't speak politely. What does it mean to be unmarried? You're only 21 years old. If you have the ability, why should you get divorced? I
This is a marriage, what does "only the second time" mean? Chen Taizhong was made to cry a little and had to admit it, but he didn't get annoyed by it. He just smiled lightly, "There is no need to get married. Since you are all quite free, I will treat you and go to Europe for ten days."
Is this possible?"
"Pack? Bring your family, that's no problem. It would be foolish not to go when someone is treating someone else." Nangong smiled and nodded, but he felt regretful in his heart. It seemed that Xiao Chen was unwilling to marry Xiao Ma after all.
But this is understandable. There is no shortage of people in Beijing who are willing to play this trick, but most of them are people who have no intention of pursuing a career and love to play. People in the serious system like Chen Taizhong may not like it no matter what.
For a 21-year-old deputy director, if someone really makes a fuss about this, it will more or less affect his bright future.
Just as he was talking, Ma Xiaoya left Mr. Yu and walked over and asked generously, "Nangong Taizhong, what are you two talking about?"
"We're not talking about anything. Taizhong plans to treat everyone to a half-month trip to Europe for your sake." Nangong Maomao answered her with a smile, "It's still Xiaoma, your big brother will also take advantage of it this time."
"Oh." Who is Ma Xiaoya? Not to mention that the past few years of living in Beijing have sharpened her eyesight. Just saying that she has a deputy director at home is enough to make her obedient to certain things——
Chen Taizhong didn't want to "get married" to her anymore.
In fact, for a widow, she doesn't like getting married very much. Although she is a member of the Beipiao clan, she is from a wealthy family after all. She can be taken care of quietly, but being someone else's concubine in a high-profile way is still a man much younger than her.
It always made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The reason why she came up with such a suggestion was that someone discovered the diamond necklace around her neck when she was playing with everyone a few days ago. These people are all careless people, and some of them are capable, not to mention distinguishing between diamonds and glass.
Even the quality of the diamonds can be judged at a glance.
I heard that it was given by Chen Taizhong. Even though everyone was used to seeing big things, they couldn't help but praise it. It satisfied Ma Xiaoya's vanity - isn't it just a matter of living in the imperial city to save face?
Originally, this matter should have been settled like this. A diamond necklace can only be purchased for four to five hundred thousand yuan. Although it is rare, others have never had similar things. They are probably just like ordinary girls who bought a fur coat worth ten thousand yuan to show off.
It'll be over after a while.
But the lucky thing is Su Wenxin's sister Su Suxin. The little girl who was present was a little jealous: You are just the second boss and you may not be better-looking than me. Why can Xiao Chen like you but not me?
As an older sister, I feel that my younger sister is unbalanced and feel sorry for her. I have to persuade Mr. Yu: Since Xiaoya has a good relationship with Xiao Chen, I will go back and find a good day to do something for them.
Mr. Yu knew that Su Wenxin was a bit jealous, but most of us were used to having some free time and having fun. Ma Xiaoya wanted to refuse, but she was worried that others would say she couldn't afford it, so she just half-rejected and half-cowarded.
Nangong Maomao also likes to play, so she volunteered to be a matchmaker. What we do is matchmaking, so we are not afraid of being suspected of pimping.
Chen Taizhong called just now. Ma Xiaoya was playing cards for Mr. Yu. He was so focused on the game that he forgot about the problem. He asked him to come over. But Nangong was thinking about it. When he saw him coming, he pulled him aside. Xiao Ma suddenly became alert.
Out of anxiety, I accidentally ordered a dragon and lost a dozen.
For Xiao Ma, this marriage feels a bit like being teased by everyone, but at the same time, if Chen Taizhong refuses, it will also make her feel a bit humiliated.
But Chen Taizhong's reaction was exactly what she wanted. It was impossible to get married, but he didn't reject it outright. He just showed a moderate fear and invited everyone to go to Europe. In this way, she lost a lot of face.
The process of being teased by everyone.
In fact, it’s not like President Nangong and his like have never been to Europe and don’t have to pay for a trip there, but spending money on other people’s money is definitely different than spending money on one’s own. Besides... isn’t it possible to make Ma Xiaoya happy by the way?
The mahjong stalls were dispersed at half past ten. Nangong Maomao and his gang were crazy for playing. However, few of the bosses who came to Beijing for business were as confused as they were, so if there were outsiders present, the stalls would not have dispersed too late.
——You can use various tricks to embarrass those who come to Beijing for business, but the situation must be justified.
Of course, even though it was half past ten, there was no shortage of food and drinks in Nangong's hotel. Everyone was having a great time eating and drinking. The thin man who seemed to be in Beijing on business obviously didn't eat enough and left with deep thoughts in his heart.
"This guy is also here to run the department?" When Chen Taizhong saw him leaving, he turned to Nangong Maomao and asked who he wanted. Mr. Yu answered him rudely, "He is here to cover up the news and want to withdraw the news from the station... I
"Director Chen, let's not talk about this for now. You have to give our pony an explanation, right? Her soul has been lured away by you."
"I've explained it," Nangong Maomao replied with a smile, going over what the two of them had just said, not forgetting to look at Su Wenxin at the end, "How about Xiao Su, did you give this group to your travel company?"
"I'm not short of this little money." Mr. Su felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Chen Taizhong took good care of Ma Xiaoya. I was the one who pulled you away during the fight. But the next moment she still smiled, "But Director Chen has this
If I don’t accept my heart, I won’t give you face and wealth, so I won’t let outsiders take advantage of you... At what level should I choose the luxury package?”
"It's up to you. Just be luxurious. How much money can you have?" Chen Taizhong smiled and shrugged, "Is one hundred enough?"
"That's not much." Su Wenxin smiled and shook her head. Her travel company did have top-notch luxury packages, but packages like that, which cost only 168,000 per person, were mainly used to rip off local bumpkins.
If Chen is doing this, everyone in the circle will look down upon her. She is already worth 98,000 yuan. Anyway, she also gets half of the profit.
Of course, the key is that if you form such a group, you can become famous in the circle. "It mainly depends on how many people are going...forget it, just over a hundred people will be considered as a gift from me to you two. You can ask for any tickets you want."
Brother, what do I need a ticket for? Chen Taizhong smiled and was too lazy to answer the question, but he was muttering in his heart: It seems that this big consumer must be a state-owned enterprise or a government agency.
He was just thinking about it. Ma Xiaoya stood up and raised her hand to tug him, "You guys go play, Taizhong and I are leaving." The person who answered her words was full of laughter. Su Wenxin was even more arrogant, "Look, Xiao Ma is holding it back."
I can’t bear it anymore and call my sister! It’s easy to get priceless treasures but it’s hard to find a lover..."
Everyone has seen big money, but Chen Taizhong just threw away one million for Boma Xiaoya's happiness, which made everyone sigh at Xiaoma's good luck. After all, Director Chen only stayed in Beijing for a very short time and could not see him for more than a year.
How many times have I been to her?
The two of them went to Ma Xiaoya's villa again. Today, Taizhong gave her face and classmate Xiao Ma said that she would not open her boudoir to this person again.
Of course, it is not only Ma Xiaoya's boudoir that is open to the public, but also the hot body of the former Central Television female live broadcaster. She is a widow who has a taste for marrow and has a long-lasting body. In addition, Chen Taizhong's performance today made her quite intoxicated by the two of them.
As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to do it in the living room before going to take a shower.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when the two of them were lying on the bed. However, Ma Xiaoya was used to the night life, and Chen Taizhong didn't care whether he slept or not. The two were naked and hugging each other, so they talked about "getting married".
thing.
It was only then that Chen Taizhong realized that his performance today was really right, so he smiled bitterly, "You didn't know how to tell me about this kind of thing earlier. Why do we need to be the object of their teasing?"
"Actually, I just want to have fun. Mainly because I am not willing to accept this." Ma Xiaoya smiled and answered him, "They are also having fun themselves. Mr. Yu said she would be my bridesmaid."
"Such an old bridesmaid?" Chen Taizhong muttered subconsciously, feeling a little emotional for a moment, "It's too easy to fall down with you... Well... have you decided on the best man yet?"
"Everyone wants Yin Jinghua to be the best man." Ma Xiaoya laughed so hard that her delicate body trembled. "Haha, Mr. Yin is not very happy..."
