547: Chapter 545 Double Entendre?
“Today is Grandpa’s big 80th birthday, I need to dress appropriately and not lose face,” Yang Ruoxi said sweetly, her arm linked with Li Han’s.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang looked at Yang Ruoxi seriously and noticed that her outfit was indeed different today.
The dress she wore today added a lot more grace.
It made her look not only beautiful and generous, but also had an indescribable feel to it.
“Hehe, it’s very proper already,” Chen Yang said with a slight smile as he stood up.
Then, he walked out of the office with the three ladies and headed downstairs.
Grandpa’s big 80th birthday was being held on the second floor of the hotel, but when they entered the elevator, Li Han pressed for the first floor instead.
Curious, Chen Yang asked why, and Li Han replied with a smile that grandpa hadn’t arrived yet, so they were going to greet him at the entrance.
“Oh, I see.”
Chen Yang nodded and said no more.
Following Li Han to the first floor, Chen Yang immediately noticed that the first floor was already very quiet.
It wasn’t filled with the noisy sounds he had seen before.
However, there were still quite a few people around; the hotel lobby was almost packed.
Only the middle path covered with a red carpet was purposely kept clear, with no one standing on it.
Just then, a roar of car engines was heard from outside the hotel.
Suddenly, a rosy-cheeked Old Master Li, supported by Li Dad and Yang Tiancheng, walked in high spirits along the red carpet into the hotel.
As he entered, Old Master Li warmly greeted the people around him, who all responded in kind.
The scene was like a large fan meeting.
The noise was unceasing.
The grand tableau somewhat surprised Chen Yang.
However, Chen Yang didn’t show it and just quietly stood with Li Han and the others in the crowd, waiting for Old Master Li to finish walking through the lobby and up to the second floor’s banquet hall.
Then, Chen Yang and Li Han’s group followed everyone else up the hotel stairs.
Arriving at the banquet hall on the second floor, Chen Yang saw from a distance Old Master Li sitting on the stage, happily facing everyone present, greeting people and so forth.
Seeing this, Chen Yang had no intention of coming forward.
Instead, he followed Li Han and the other ladies to a table closer to the front and sat down.
When the noise in the venue died down somewhat, the birthday banquet officially began.
And then the fun part started.
Because it was now the moment for presenting birthday gifts.
The hotel’s MC stood beside Old Master Li, announcing the gifts from today’s guests.
Most people at the scene didn’t know each other, so nobody knew who gave what or how much.
But when a certain name was mentioned, everyone’s attention heightened.
That person was none other than Zhou Qianzheng, the son of the neighboring city’s richest man and Chen Yang’s rival!
Those who had come to the scene were either businessmen or politicians, so they were somewhat familiar with Zhou Qianzheng.
After all, the Zhou Family’s status was not far from the Yang Family’s; both were prominent and famous.
And earlier, the Zhou Family’s attempt to form a marital alliance with the Yang Family had also been much publicized, so everyone was aware of it.
Today, for Old Master Li’s grand 80th birthday, Zhou Qianzheng’s gift was naturally going to capture everyone’s attention.
“Wow, Zhou Qianzheng!
The son of Boss Zhou from the neighboring city!
I heard he’s pursuing the daughter of Boss Yang, wonder what kind of grand gift he’ll present today!”
“Yes, yes, I’ve heard too.
Boss Zhou’s son has really put in a lot of effort to woo the Yang family’s daughter!”
…
The venue buzzed with excitement, everyone speculating about what kind of grand gift Zhou Qianzheng would give.
Hearing the voices around her, Yang Ruoxi, who was sitting with Chen Yang, looked visibly upset.
However, since it was during the birthday banquet, she naturally didn’t refute anyone.
She could only show a face full of unhappiness, occasionally rolling her eyes at those chattering people.
However, Yang Ruoxi’s eye-rolling didn’t make the people around her shut up; they continued to chat enthusiastically.
“Humph!
I really don’t understand my dad, why did he have to invite him over?
It’s too much, just hearing his name annoys me!” As the voices around her grew louder, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t hold back anymore.
She muttered under her breath.
Hearing Yang Ruoxi’s complaints, Chen Yang smiled briefly, but said nothing.
Li Han, however, responded with a smile, “The Zhou Family has significant business cooperation with your dad, so it’s normal to invite him.
If you’re upset, just pretend he doesn’t exist, it’s not a big deal.”
“Humph, with that much commotion, how can I pretend he doesn’t exist?” Yang Ruoxi said, her face full of anger.
But there was nothing she could do.
It was a birthday banquet, and she naturally knew it wasn’t possible to drive someone away.
So, she could only cross her arms over her chest in frustration and stopped talking.
At this moment, the emcee began to introduce the birthday gift from Zhou Qianzheng.
While introducing the gifts from others, the emcee’s voice was very normal, but when he introduced the gift from Zhou Qianzheng, his voice became particularly high and passionate.
It was unclear if it was intentional or if he was surprised by the gifts.
He introduced loudly, “Young Master Zhou!
Gifts 880,000 in cash!
Nine gold longevity peaches!”
Upon the emcee’s announcement, everyone at the scene gasped.
880,000 in cash?
Plus nine gold longevity peaches?
Truly lavish!
Although everyone at the event was wealthy, these gifts were indeed very generous!
“Impressive!
That must be worth at least two million, right?”
“Looks like the Zhou Family really wants an alliance through marriage with the Yang Family!”
“Of course, with such generosity, it’s definitely a done deal.”
…
After the initial gasps of surprise, a round of speculation about a marriage alliance between the Zhou Family and the Yang Family stirred up disapproval from Yang Ruoxi once again.
Yet, she still did not make a scene, just quietly watched the stage.
After the emcee’s introduction, there were hotel staff, carrying trays with hands, placing 880,000 in cash and nine gleaming gold longevity peaches in front of Old Master Li.
It was naturally a very happy occasion for Old Master Li, especially now that he had received such generous gifts.
“Haha, thank you young Zhou, actually, just your thoughtfulness would have been enough, there’s no need for such expensive gifts,” Old Master Li chuckled as he addressed the area where Zhou Qianzheng was seated.
No sooner had Old Master Li finished speaking than a figure stood up not far from him.
“Old Master, it’s not quite right to say that.
Today is your eightieth birthday, and as a junior, it’s only proper to show some heartfelt sincerity!
And everyone understands the relationship between the Zhou Family and the Yang Family, such a gift is entirely normal,” Zhou Qianzheng replied very politely under the gaze of everyone present.
His words seemed quite standard on the surface.
But a careful consideration revealed a double entendre.
Because from his words, it seemed like he was saying that the Zhou Family had a good relationship with the Yang Family.
Yet, his tone also gave the impression that a marriage alliance was indeed intended.
His words confirmed the speculations of those who were already guessing about a marriage alliance between the Zhou Family and the Yang Family.
Even many nodded in agreement right there.
“Yes, Old Master, it’s normal for Young Master Zhou to have this intention, don’t be too polite,”
“Haha, Young Master Zhou is really thoughtful!
Worthy of being the Yang Family’s son-in-law.”
