"Xiao Chen! Don't be disheartened. This is the difference between people. Don't think we're in the same unit; the gap is still very wide," Section Chief Wang said loudly.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Chen Long actually felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, he cheered up. He didn't have any connections himself, so as long as he did his own job well, that was enough.

There was no need to fuss over these people.

"I just need to do my own job well. As for other things, they are not what I should be thinking about," Chen Long replied, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hmph! Stubborn as a dead duck!" Xiao Han glared at Chen Long, then left with Section Chief Wang.

"Chen Long, there's no need to be angry. They're just like that!" a female colleague walked over and said.

Her name was Xia Bingbing. Although her family also ran a company, she wasn't like Xiao Han and those people.

"Yeah, I'm not angry. It's just that this time, I probably won't be making any moves," Chen Long said.

"It's just a charity gala," Xia Bingbing said.

Ever since she joined the unit, Chen Long had been her mentor. Chen Long was a good person, and she had a good impression of him.

And Chen Long? He actually had a good impression of Xia Bingbing too, but due to the disparity in their family backgrounds, he hid that good impression.

"I need to take a call first," Chen Long said.

"Okay, you go ahead," Xia Bingbing said and left first.

Chen Long then answered Chen Cuifen's call: "Hello, Aunt, is something wrong?"

"Nothing much, Xiao Long. The roasted chicken you brought last time tasted good. Your sister wants to eat it, so I was wondering where you bought it?" Chen Cuifen said.

"Oh! That! If my sister wants to eat it, I'll buy a few more and send them via same-city express delivery. They'll be home very soon!" Chen Long said.

"Oh, oh, how much is it? I'll transfer the money to you!" Chen Cuifen said.

"Aunt, what are you talking about? You're my aunt, we're family. I'm buying you a few roasted chickens, and you want to pay me!"

"No need to pay!" Chen Long quickly said.

"Hahahaha, you child! Alright then!" Chen Cuifen said.

"If Aunt has nothing else, I'll hang up?" Chen Long asked.

"Hmm, but Xiao Long, why does your tone sound a little off? Did something happen?" Chen Cuifen asked, puzzled.

Chen Long was startled. His aunt had even noticed such a subtle emotion from him. They truly were family.

Afterward, Chen ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Long briefly explained the matter of the charity gala.

"Oh, so that's it..."

"How about I talk to your younger brother! I'll ask him to donate some! After all, it's doing a good deed!" Chen Cuifen said.

"No need, Aunt. It's not easy for Yun to earn money. These entrepreneurs donate millions or tens of millions at a time; it's a huge strain. Let's not trouble Yun," Chen Long said.

"Alright, then. Don't bear everything alone. We're all family; speak up when you need to! You go back to work, I'm hanging up now!" Chen Cuifen finished, and the two ended their call.

Chen Long shook his head. He knew Su Yun was making money now! But he didn't know what kind of business Su Yun was in.

Although there had been a lot of buzz recently about a Su Yun with the same name as his cousin, Su Yun, Chen Long hadn't thought in that direction.

After all, Su Yun had just graduated from university, and it was unlikely he could achieve such great success, especially starting from scratch.

Chen Long didn't think much of it. He checked the time, then walked out, preparing to buy roasted chickens... Chen Cuifen thought about what Chen Long had said and still decided to call Su Yun.

"Hello? Xiao Yun, are you busy?" Chen Cuifen said.

"Not busy! Mom, what's wrong? I'm with Qian Qian," Su Yun replied.

"Oh, oh, you two get along well. I'm really looking forward to Qian Qian becoming my daughter-in-law!" Chen Cuifen said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, I'll definitely bring her home to you!" Su Yun also laughed.

"Give the phone to Qian Qian, I want to say a few words to her," Chen Cuifen said.

"Hello? Auntie, it's been a few days, I really miss you!" Bai Qian said.

"Hahahaha, you child..." The two talked for about ten minutes, and Su Yun couldn't get a word in.

After they finished chatting, the phone returned to Su Yun's hand.

"Xiao Yun, there's something, I don't know if I should tell you," Chen Cuifen said.

"Just say it. Is there anything you can't tell me?" Su Yun replied.

"Well, it's about your cousin, Chen Long. He's not..."

Then, Chen Cuifen explained the whole situation.

"That's the situation. I was just thinking Chen Long is my nephew, your cousin, and he used to care a lot about our family."

"This matter is a bit big. If you can help or find a couple of friends to save face, that would be fine."

"If you can't, don't force it. No one will say anything. Xiao Long didn't plan to tell you, but I thought about it and decided to call you," Chen Cuifen said.

"I understand. These are all small matters. I definitely won't let my cousin lose face," Su Yun smiled. He hadn't expected his cousin to be in charge of the charity gala.

Although the main purpose was for the long-term usage rights of that piece of land, it wouldn't hurt to help his cousin out a bit.

"Hmm, that's enough. Don't overdo it!" Chen Cuifen instructed.

"Don't worry," Su Yun replied, and then the two ended their call.

"What's going on?" Bai Qian asked.

"Nothing much, it's just..." Su Yun then told Bai Qian about it.

"Oh, I see. So your cousin doesn't know your identity? There's been so much buzz recently; who in the country doesn't know your name, Su Yun?" Bai Qian teased.

"Stop messing around!"

"He's busy with work and pays less attention to these things. He probably thinks that Su Yun is just someone with the same name as me!" Su Yun laughed.

"Oh, so that's it."

"Some places are experiencing severe flooding right now. We should do our part," Bai Qian said.

"Hmm, don't worry, I'll definitely be first then," Su Yun said, directly covering Bai Qian's mouth... Jiangcheng's Lixin District.

Xia Bingbing happened to meet Chen Long at the roasted chicken shop: "Chen Long, what a coincidence!" Xia Bingbing said in surprise.

"You're also here to buy roasted chicken? My sister from back home wants to eat it, so I'm sending a few back to her." Chen Long also felt it was quite a coincidence.

With that, Xia Bingbing bought one roasted chicken, while Chen Long bought three. The two chatted as they prepared to head to the same-city express delivery point.

"Oh, Bingbing, why are you with Chen Long?" Xiao Han, the one from earlier, walked over, his tone unfriendly.

"Who I'm with, does it concern you?" Xia Bingbing said impatiently.

"Heh heh... Bingbing, have you forgotten something? Is your family's capital chain still operating normally?"

"Your father seemed to have even begged my uncle."

"My uncle has no children, so I'm like a son to him. As long as I say a word..."

"Bingbing, you wouldn't want your family's capital chain to break, would you?" Xiao Han sneered.
