The birthday of old man Cheng Kuang is a big event in Xixia Province. Zhang Xuan noticed that the Lin family and the Cheng family seemed to have a good relationship. He saw that Lin Qinghan's three aunts were talking intimately with the women of the Cheng family.
When Lin Qinghan's eldest aunt saw Zhang Xuan, her eyes seemed to want to eat him alive.
From time to time, someone would come up to Lin Qinghan and take the initiative to talk, mostly talking about some business matters.
Zhang Xuan stood aside, like a wooden stake, and did not talk to others.
Gradually, as time approached noon, Zhang Xuan found that there were fewer and fewer people in the Cheng family manor. He understood that those who were not qualified came to give gifts, registered their names and left, and those who were really qualified to sit at the table would stay here.
As for the owner of the Cheng family, old man Cheng Kuang, he never showed up.
As the number of people decreased, the factions became more and more obvious. Those who had good relationships stood together in groups of three or five. For example, Wang Wei was with Cheng Guang, and Lin Chuan also had his circle of friends. Only Lin Qinghan had no one around her except those who came to discuss business cooperation.
Zhang Xuan looked at the woman beside him. She seemed lonely because she didn't form a circle, but in fact it was a good way to protect herself.
The sun moved slowly along the west, and the weather gradually became hot. When it was 11:30 in the afternoon, there were very few people in the manor.
"The old man is here!"
I don't know who shouted first, and everyone standing in the manor looked at the main house located in the center of the manor at this time.
An old man in a Tang suit, with gray hair and a sturdy figure, walked slowly into the main house.
"Everyone, the old man is here, let's go to the banquet." A middle-aged woman from the Cheng family said loudly.
The people who were still chatting rushed to the main house. Although they didn't run, they walked very fast, wanting to be the first to appear in front of Mr. Cheng and leave a good impression on him.
"Are we going in too?" Zhang Xuan looked at Sylvia Lin and asked.
"Wait for someone." Sylvia Lin stood there, not seeming to be in a hurry at all.
Seeing that everyone in the manor had entered the main house, a pink electric car slowly drove over from the gate of the manor. Compared with the luxury cars in the yard, this electric car seemed out of place.
The moment Zhang Xuan saw the driver of the electric car, he felt a sense of intimacy, not for anything else, just because the other person's dress was exactly the same as his usual, white vest, beach pants, and flip-flops.
The pink electric car slowly stopped, and the young man riding it carefully parked the car, then waved to Sylvia Lin and said hello.
"Hello! Is this your man?" The young man spoke very directly, not as polite as the others.
Lin Qinghan nodded, "My husband."
"Fuck, you're married?" The young man was surprised, and then gave Zhang Xuan a thumbs up, "Dude, awesome, you got the iceberg president! Do you know that there are almost a whole company of people chasing her?"
Zhang Xuan smiled. This young man gave him a good impression. He said whatever he wanted. He looked at this young man. His hair was very long and messy, with a curtain covering his eyebrows. He looked very sloppy without any decoration, but if you look closely, you will find that this is a very handsome man with fair skin and delicate features. Even those popular young handsome guys can't compare with him in terms of appearance.
"Let's go, now that you're here, we should go in too." Lin Qinghan turned around and walked towards the main house, her long skirt fluttering, "Cheng Qing, as the eldest grandson of the Cheng family, you always don't care about your grandfather, no wonder you are bullied."
"Tsk!" The young man sneered, "Whatever they want to do is none of my business. I came here today just to take back what should belong to me. Qinghan, do you really not regret standing on the same team with me?"
Lin Qinghan didn't say anything, with a smile on her lips, she walked into the main house, her yellow back, like a banished immortal.
The main house has been arranged into a banquet hall. Looking around, there are 100 square meters and four tables. The one sitting at the main seat of the banquet table in the east is old man Cheng Kuang.
Sitting on both sides of Cheng Kuang are his three proud disciples, and the people at the other tables are all rich or noble. Being able to attend Cheng Kuang's birthday banquet is a symbol of status in itself.
Zhang Xuan looked around and was surprised to find that the Lin family alone sat at a table.
Lin Jianyu, Sylvia Lin's three aunts, and their children were all seated at the table.
"Qinghan, Xiao Zhang, come and sit down!" Lin Jianyu waved loudly when he saw Zhang Xuan and the others, not seeming to be restrained at all. On the contrary, no one at the other tables dared to speak as loudly as Lin Jianyu, which made Zhang Xuan think of the relationship between the Lin family and the Cheng family.
Regarding Cheng Kuang, five minutes after Zhang Xuan entered the Cheng family manor, Zhang Xuan received all the news about Cheng Kuang on his mobile phone, and also understood the purpose of Sylvia Lin's visit this time, or the purpose of the Lin family.
The Cheng family and the Lin family are also old friends. Although Lin Zhengnan cannot compare with Cheng Kuang in status and position, he is not much worse than Cheng Kuang in terms of connections.
In the Cheng family, there is a rule that Cheng family members are not allowed to touch politics or business, but every five years, Cheng Kuang will select the most outstanding descendants of his family to learn under his disciples. They can choose to do business, politics, or join the army. This is the best opportunity and the only opportunity for the descendants of the Cheng family. Once they are selected by Cheng Kuang, it means their future. Cheng Kuang's method of selecting people is also very interesting, that is, looking at gifts. Cheng Kuang once said that in this world, some things are not precious, but become precious because of the love of powerful people. Cheng Kuang once clearly stated that at his birthday banquet, whoever can take out the most precious birthday gift will be selected by him. It doesn't matter whether you borrow or buy this birthday gift, as long as it is obtained by legal means, he will not ask the source.
This rule has been in place for many years. Every time, Cheng Kuang would just look at these precious birthday gifts and would not accept them. He said, "You can take them out, which proves your social skills and interpersonal relationships."
Today's birthday banquet is another five-year banquet, and the younger generations of the Cheng family are all gearing up.
Zhang Xuan calmly sat at the table with the Lin family, ignoring the hostile eyes of Lin Qinghan's eldest and second aunts, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a pot sticker for Lin Qinghan, "I didn't eat in the morning, eat something quickly."
When Zhang Xuan spoke, his voice was very soft, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
