A Shocking Work (Part One)
The Lin Family was undoubtedly the local tyrant in Ningbo. They had allies everywhere who were related to their interests. They had different influences from Third Master Wu, but they each had their own needs. In addition, the collateral relative of the Lin Family took this path and was close to Third Master Wu. His influence in Ningbo was unshakable. That was why the Lin Family took the initiative to come to congratulate Third Master Wu.
However, the Lin Family looked down on Third Master Wu more or less. It was not because they were more powerful than Third Master Wu, but because they took different paths. That was why they sent Lin Ze instead of the senior. For example, Lin Songhao, the collateral relative of the Lin Family, came to congratulate Third Master Wu in person.
Lin Ze came at the right time. He took himself too seriously. After all, those who were going to come had been informed in advance. Third Master Wu already knew whether they would come or not. He had reserved seats for them. What did it matter if they came early or late?
However, he did not expect that he would meet Qin Sheng, the initiator who had troubled the Lin Family in the past half a year, at the right time. Lin Ze brought the butler who had knocked Qin Sheng down. He had been in the Lin Family for his whole life and joined the Lin Family when the Old Master was still alive.
After Lin Ze got out of the car, he muttered, "Why is this old guy still alive? He is hiding in Putuo Mountain, but he is still not quiet. He has to make such a big noise. Damn it."
Since there was no one around, Lin Ze just complained casually. Because his cousin, who was a distant relative, was close to Third Master Wu and knew how to build a good relationship with his family, he was doing very well in Ningbo now. Many people compared him with his cousin. Naturally, the result was self-evident. His cousin was an outstanding big shot, while he was just a good-for-nothing who relied on his father's generation and did not have any achievements.
"Lin Ze, you should be careful here. Don't let others hear you." Uncle Fu reminded him kindly.
Lin Ze was just talking nonsense. He knew that Third Master Wu's trusted subordinates and adopted sons were very capable. If they heard what he said, he might not even know how he died. Consequently, he smiled awkwardly as he said, "Uncle Fu, I know."
At this time, Qin Sheng and Yang Deng drove back. Qin Sheng did not notice Lin Ze and Uncle Fu. When he was about to get out of the car, Yang Deng suddenly pointed out of the window and said, "Tut-tut, Qin Sheng, look who that is. Am I right?"
Through the glass, Qin Sheng looked into the distance and recognized his brother-in-law, Lin Ze, and Uncle Fu, who had extraordinary skills. His expression changed slightly. He squinted and stared at Lin Ze, but did not say anything. Since Yang Deng reminded him yesterday, he had been prepared to meet. of these two.
"Do you want to go down and say hello?" Yang Deng said playfully.
Qin Sheng came to his senses and shook his head as he said, "Why bother? We will definitely see each other in a while.
Yang Deng of Two, Yang Two of the Qin and Family, "One: The Two": 1. "Two" 1 ": Two: One: Ze This time, Yang Deng would welcome the guests at the entrance of the banquet hall with the others. After all, he was Third Master Wu's foster son. Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang went back to their rooms first. They planned to go there when it was almost time.
Although Third Master Wu's 70th birthday was not that high-profile, ten tables of guests still came. Basically, all the tycoons in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai had sent their representatives. Some of them were brothers and nephews. Some of them came in person. Some of them were the heads of their companies. Some of them only sent their subordinates to send gifts. It might be due to their identities.
Third Master Wu was sitting in the VIP room at the back, where several of his close friends were sitting. Their identities might be very ordinary, but they were the closest to Third Master Wu. As for Yang Deng, Luo Changgong, and the others, as the hosts, they were all welcoming the guests at the entrance of the banquet hall. They knew these guests more or less. After exchanging greetings with them, they welcomed them into the banquet hall.
The guests came and went in an endless stream, which was quite lively. This was an affirmation of Third Master Wu's life and respect for his status.
Qin Sheng felt it was almost time, so he went to the banquet hall with the birthday gifts. Gu Qingyang stayed in the room to rest. He definitely could not go to such a scene. In fact, Third Master Wu also arranged a birthday party for them in the banquet hall next to the banquet hall. However, Gu Qingyang did not like this kind of bustle, so he did not go there.
When Qin Sheng appeared at the door of the banquet hall, Yang Deng and Luo Changgong immediately greeted him. Luo Changgong said politely, "Qin Sheng, you are here."
Yang Deng smiled gently at Qin Sheng. After all, they were very familiar with each other.
Yang Deng took the initiative to introduce a man in a suit and leather shoes beside him. "Brother, this is Qin Sheng, whom I told you about."
The man was half a head taller than Yang Deng, handsome and good-looking. He looked like a mixed-race man. He combed a fashionable hairstyle, probably with a lot of wax. His eyes were full of arrogance, and he was not as approachable as Yang Deng.
Qin Sheng could tell from Yang Deng's tone that this should be another adopted son of Third Master Wu, who was much more excellent than Yang Deng. Now he was in Shanghai dealing with Third Master Wu's affairs.
"Welcome." The man just smiled and nodded.
Qin Sheng also smiled politely and did not talk too much. After all, there were other guests behind them. Everyone was busy. Yang Deng led Qin Sheng into the banquet hall.
"This is my brother, Wu Yongchuan. He has always been in Shanghai. There are too many people today. If you have a chance, you can meet him next time," Yang Deng said casually.
Qin Sheng said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Yang Deng led Qin Sheng to sit at a table near the side, which was in a different direction from the Lin Family. If Lin Ze had been paying attention to the door, he would definitely have seen Qin Sheng. However, Lin Ze only cared about chatting with a beauty at the same table, so he had no time to pay attention to this.
However, the brother and sister of the Dugu Family saw Qin Sheng. They were arranged to sit at the table next to the main table, which showed how much Third Master Wu valued the Dugu Family. Of course, these seats were arranged for a reason. Not everyone could sit there casually. Qin Sheng's seat was taken by Yang Deng through the back door.
"Brother, what's the background of this Qin Sheng? Why do we run into him everywhere?" Qingyu was so angry that she couldn't beat him up.
Qingning asked on purpose, "Don't tell me you really like him. Although I don't know too much about his bottom line, I know something. He is a young talent. If you really like him, I can help you. Anyway, there is no threshold in our family. As long as you like him, it's okay."
"Dugu Qingning, are you kidding me? I like him? You might as well ask me to jump into the Huangpu River. "Qingyu snorted.
Qingning found it funny and said, "Then why do you pay so much attention to him?"
"Okay, okay, okay. I don't want to argue with you. I'll shut up, okay?" Qingyu turned her head and just played with her mobile phone.
At 12 o 'clock sharp, all the guests who were supposed to come had arrived. The Old Monk had also sent someone over. It was still his old acquaintance, Yuan Ke, and the Old Monk's grandson, Qu Huanxi. The two of them were really close. It seemed that Yuan Ke was very good at flattering this Young Master and served him very well. They did not notice that Qin Sheng was sitting at the same table with the Dugu siblings.
It seemed that the brother and sister of the Dugu Family did not like Qu Huanxi. Qingning behaved well and kept chatting with Yuan Ke and Qu Huanxi perfunctorily. However, Qingyu directly turned her head away and did not even bother to say hello to them. Qu Huanxi wanted to talk to her several times, but Qingyu directly ignored him. Of course, she knew Qu Huanxi for a long time. Of course, she knew what kind of person Qu Huanxi was. Qu Huanxi was so angry that he could do nothing about it. If it were other women, he might have already surrendered to her or he could use some means to get her. However, this was a woman of the Dugu Family. Unless he had eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's heart, he might be directly beaten to death by the Old Master.
There were 10 people sitting at Qin Sheng's table. On the left side was a president of a company, and on the right side was a mature woman. The mature woman took the initiative to chat with Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng also teased her when he was free.
At this moment, after a piece of warm music, the host of the birthday party appeared. He was a host from Zhejiang TV. Everyone had to give face to Third Master Wu. He was very familiar with this kind of occasion and started the procedure step by step.
At first, an opening speech set off the atmosphere. When the atmosphere reached the climax, the host shouted in an excited tone, "Then let's invite tonight's birthday star, Old Master Wu, with warm applause."
The audience burst into thunderous applause. All the guests stood up.
The door of the VIP room was pushed open. Old Master Wu, who was dressed in a Tang suit and supported himself with a walking stick, walked slowly into the banquet hall surrounded by his two adopted sons, his successors, and his trusted subordinates. The host also went up to him in a hurry.
With a smile on his face, Old Master Wu seemed to be in a good state of mind. He was helped to sit on the purple sandalwood chair in the center of the stage. Everyone stood beside him, and behind him were several waiters in cheongsam.
The host smiled and greeted the Old Master. After chatting with him for a while, he handed the microphone to Old Master Wu. Looking at all the guests present, Old Master Wu smiled and said, "Thank you all for coming to support me. Please sit down."
This was the first time for Qin Sheng to see Third Master Wu. He was no different from an ordinary old man in his twilight years. His face was full of wrinkles and gullies, and there were many age spots. His hair had been shaved long ago, and he had a long beard. He really looked like an otherworldly master. People who didn't know him would think that he was not Third Master Wu, but an old monk. If they saw the old monk, they would think that their identities might have been really reversed.
"I have lived for 70 years in vain. Originally, I didn't want to suffer like this. However, these children insisted on holding this birthday party for me. I know that it is their kind intention, so I won't refuse them. But I am sorry to trouble you. I don't have much to say. Whether you are old friends or new friends, don't blame me for not being a good host. Just enjoy yourselves. "Third Master Wu had long disliked this kind of occasion. He was just going through the motions. After all, he was the protagonist. If he didn't say anything, everyone would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Everyone applauded again. The host continued with the next program.
That was the birthday party, which was also the highlight of today's birthday party.
Of course, Third Master Wu's two adopted sons, his successors, and his trusted subordinates first, followed by the guests today. Of course, some guests directly handed their birthday gifts to the receptionists outside. Maybe they didn't want to show off, or maybe they didn't want to be high-profile. Some guests carefully prepared their birthday gifts, intending to amaze everyone here or leave a deep impression on Third Master Wu.
