Chapter 528: Chapter 525: Elder Han Appears

Although, as Fatty Tang’s father had said, their power was truly insignificant, offering no real help to the current plight of the Jianguo Group, this gesture of theirs still moved him profoundly!

Especially at this moment, looking out at the full hall of guests, it could be said that among all these guests, those with the shallowest relationship with him were almost certainly Fatty Tang’s parents, and what about those guests who, in former days, called out ’Director Chen’ at every turn, practically tripping over themselves to do him favors ingratiatingly because of the countless benefits they had received from the Jianguo Group?

What choices did they make?

His gaze slowly swept over the faces of the guests and finally rested on the pile of pricey gifts beside him, his eyes betraying an involuntary streak of self-mockery and sarcasm—this was their repayment to him, Chen Jianguo!

Several billion, tens of billions in value... for this, repaid with gifts worth just over a hundred thousand...

Some of the guests, beneath Chen Jianguo’s scrutinizing gaze, couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty and lowered their heads, their faces betraying a hint of shame while, at the same time, looking toward Fatty Tang’s parents with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Hmph, at a time like this, choosing to stand on the side of the Jianguo Group, are you trying to prove your righteousness, your greatness?

Just wait for a dead end, let’s see how many more days you can jump around!

Everyone inwardly sneered.

Especially a few people in the crowd who knew Fatty Tang’s parents, while silently cursing, also made up their minds that as soon as they went back, they would immediately cease all business dealings with Fatty Tang’s parents, and not only that, but they must draw a clear boundary! Absolutely not allowing themselves to be implicated, to prevent the Li Family from thinking they were in league!

"Thank you!"

It took a while for Chen Jianguo to regain his composure somewhat, then he turned his gaze back to Fatty Tang’s parents and extended his hand, giving Fatty Tang’s father’s shoulder a gentle pat.

At this moment, he had already placed this couple within the ranks of his friends, silently deciding that, as long as they got through this crisis, he would help this couple by any means necessary.

Liu Yuan’s face also showed a trace of relief and joy as he patted Fatty Tang’s father’s back.

This couple, Tang Corporation, had originally been weeded out by him, but looking at Xiao Yi’s face, he had given them a small boon, a chance, without expecting that they would be so grateful.

Xiao Yi’s friends are indeed still Xiao Yi’s friends; even a merchant like this is much more honorable, much more grateful than those others!

Fatty Tang’s parents felt the pat from Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan, felt the respect and gratitude in their eyes, and their hearts suddenly experienced a sense of feeling they had never had before; at this moment, facing Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan, it seemed they were not so unapproachable, so distant, they were just so real.

Their hearts were utterly at peace.

In this moment, it seemed that their minds once again comprehended something anew; often times, humbleness is something one imposes on oneself, no one looks down on you unless you yourself regard your own worth as meager—at which point, you start to look down on people, and others will look down on you.

When you are calm at heart, at ease and serene, everyone is your friend.

A memory of that boy named Xiao Yi’s friend flashed through their minds again.

"Haha... It looks like everyone has arrived, I, the old man, am late, huh!"

Just when Fatty Tang’s parents were in the midst of their complex emotions, and Chen Jianguo was profoundly touched, with the entire hall becoming briefly silent, a resonant voice suddenly came from the entrance.

"Elder Han?"

This voice was very loud and carried an air of boldness, along with a hint of condescension. Almost everyone in the banquet hall heard it, and everyone’s eyes instinctively turned towards the source of the sound, eager to see who dared to speak in such a bold tone in Chen Jianguo’s house.

Chen Jianguo’s gaze also instantly turned towards the entrance, and upon doing so, he was momentarily stunned. At the doorway, an elderly man with clear, youthful features, wearing a traditional long robe, assisted by a quiet and handsome girl who looked about twenty years old, made his way slowly towards Chen Jianguo. The old man was not tall or sturdy, on the contrary, he looked somewhat frail. His steps were not quick, his face bore a slight smile, but his presence exuded a powerful pressure, or rather, a powerful aura—that far surpassed Chen Jianguo’s, the man of the hour.

The moment Chen Jianguo clearly saw the old man’s face, he almost thought his eyes were deceiving him. It took him a while to involuntarily let out an exclaimed whisper, out of reflex.

"Elder Han!"

The others, looking at the old man who had come in, were all abuzz, the guests in the hall showing faces full of shock. Most of them, although not privileged enough to have any connection with the old man, almost all knew who he was and could recognize him.

Everyone recognized that this man was none other than the current head of the Han Family, Elder Han!

Elder Han actually appeared at Director Chen’s daughter’s banquet, what did this mean!

Everyone’s heart suddenly trembled, as they automatically cleared a path for Elder Han to pass through slowly, while speculating in their hearts the purpose of Elder Han’s visit.

"Elder Han, how come you’re here?"

Director Chen was certainly no ordinary person, and after a brief moment of shock, he quickly regained his composure, hastened to step forward, carefully bent his waist, and helped support the old man on the other side, wearing a warmly smiling face as he spoke.

No matter what Elder Han had come for, it was his duty to extend all the proper courtesies now that such an important figure had come to this place.

However, his heart also began to speculate uncontrollably.

The arrival of Elder Han was totally beyond his expectations!

Regarding the Han Family, he indeed sent out an invitation and invited them as the most important guests, but he invited the Fourth Master of the Han Family and he did not hold out much hope. Although Jianguo Group and the Han Family had always been partners, everyone was only involved in mutually beneficial cooperation, and in truth, the Han Family rarely gained much benefit from Jianguo Group.

Under these circumstances, there was absolutely no need for the Han Family to offend the Li Family for the sake of Jianguo Group.

Therefore, he had already anticipated that no one from the Han Family would come, but what he never expected was that not only did someone from the Han Family come, but they sent their most heavyweight figure!

"What, am I not welcome, old man?"

Elder Han glared at Chen Jianguo with a hint of a smile, swept his gaze over the crowd, and then directly focused on Chen Xue, today’s protagonist, showing a kind smile on his face, "You are the little Birthday Star today, aren’t you? Such a beautiful girl. Come, come, come, let Grandpa have a look."

"Xue, this is Grandpa Han."

Chen Jianguo quickly said to Chen Xue beside him, even though he had met Elder Han a few times, Chen Xue had never seen Elder Han.

"Grandpa Han, hello."

Chen Xue, sensing the extraordinariness of the elderly man from her father’s actions and expression, smiled obediently at the old man and gave a slight bow when she heard her father’s words.

"Good, good, what a beautiful girl!"

Looking at Chen Xue, who was dressed like a princess, Elder Han’s eyes grew even more fond, patting her hair, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, and looked at a girl beside him, "Girl, come here, the gift you said you would give to your sister. "

"Xue, this Snow Jade Bracelet is for you. May you live to see this day each year and always be as beautiful as you grow!"

The girl who had been supporting Elder Han immediately let go of the old man upon hearing his words, took out a beautifully crafted gift box from her body, opened it to reveal a pure and flawless bracelet that resembled snow jade, and with an affectionate smile on her face, handed it over to Chen Xue.

"Elder Han, such a valuable gift, it’s too generous, too generous!"

Chen Jianguo, standing beside the old man and seeing the gift in the box, couldn’t help but gasp, quickly waving his hands to decline repeatedly.

He was a connoisseur, and at a glance, he knew that this bracelet was extremely valuable, possibly worth more than the BMW car that was presented earlier!

And within the crowd of onlooking guests, some who recognized the bracelet’s value also couldn’t help but inhale sharply, their eyes expressing disbelief.

Elder Han not only attended Director Chen’s daughter’s birthday banquet but also presented such a valuable gift—what exactly did this signify...

Almost everyone could no longer contain themselves, beginning to feel anxious in their hearts...

"Hmph, I’m not giving it to you, I’m giving it to the girl. Why can’t it be accepted? The girl is so beautiful, if she can’t accept it, who can?"

Elder Han did not give Chen Jianguo any face at all, glaring at him before turning his head back to continue looking at Chen Xue, with a gentle expression on his face, "Girl, come, don’t mind your father, come on, put on the bracelet so Grandpa can see."

Chen Xue hesitated, glancing at her father beside her.
