Actually, how could everyone not know that these things were for people to eat? It's just that in this kind of occasion, everyone could be considered to have some status and identity in Yunhai. How could they possibly be like Cheng Yu and eat to his heart's content?
Originally, it could be said that this was a tacit rule. For the sake of their image, it was impossible for them to eat non-stop on such an occasion. But now that Cheng Yu said it like that, it was like slapping his face.
Especially Li Mu. From the beginning to the end, no one saw him, and the person he looked down on was politely invited into the inner hall by the host.
Entering the Inner Hall, there were already some people sitting there. Those who could enter the Inner Hall were all important figures of the Meng Family.
"Dad, Young Master Yu and Miss Lan are here!" The moment they entered the inner hall, Meng Wen said excitedly.
Hearing Meng Wen's words, Meng Zhiyuan immediately led everyone out. This caused some of the guests to be baffled. What kind of person was worthy of the Meng Family coming out to welcome?
"Mr. Cheng, I've heard a lot about you. You're really young and promising! It is my honor to be able to invite Cheng Yu today! This was the first time Meng Zhiyuan had seen Cheng Yu. When he saw that Cheng Yu was as young as what his son had said, it caused him to be shocked.
Apart from Lan Ya's father and Yang Ruoxue, everyone else was confused. Who exactly was this young man? To think that the Meng Family's Patriarch would be so polite!
"Haha, Uncle Meng is too polite. Today is Uncle Meng's birthday. I wish for Uncle's happiness to be as boundless as the East Sea and longevity as long as the South Mountain. This is a small gift, I hope Uncle will like it!" Cheng Yu said politely as he took out a small brocade box and handed it over.
No matter what, Meng Wen was his friend now. Since they were friends, there was no need for him to put on airs.
"Mr. Cheng, you're too polite. I'm already very happy that you're able to attend my birthday banquet. Thank you very much for your gift, Mr. Cheng!" Although Cheng Yu's gift was just a small brocade box, Meng Zhiyuan did not neglect it. He still politely accepted the gift.
After all, Cheng Yu was a great benefactor to the Meng Family. Even if he didn't give any gifts, the Meng Family still had to serve him well.
Among the Meng Family members present, other than Meng Wen who had seen Cheng Yu before, Meng Tian had also seen Cheng Yu before because Meng Tian was a doctor from the People's Hospital. The miracle that Cheng Yu had displayed at the People's Hospital had long been deeply engraved in the hearts of all the staff at the People's Hospital.
Who didn't view Cheng Yu as a deity? Now that he had come to participate in his uncle's birthday celebration, he was somewhat excited. However, the other people in Meng Family didn't think so. Although Meng Wen had said that Cheng Yu was very powerful and Meng Tian had said that he was like an immortal, when they saw such a small brocade box, they had looked down on Cheng Yu.
However, they also knew that no matter what, Cheng Yu was not someone they could offend. Although they looked down on Cheng Yu, they did not dare to show it.
"Uncle Meng, this is a gift that your niece has prepared for you. Please accept it! I also wish you a long life, happiness and good health! " At this moment, Lan Ya took out a rectangular brocade box from a bag and passed it to Meng Zhiyuan.
"Haha, thank you, Niece Lan. Please come in and have a seat!" Meng Zhiyuan happily accepted the gifts and invited the two of them into the house.
However, the next scene caused a lot of them to be even more unhappy. Cheng Yu was actually invited by Meng Zhiyuan to have a seat of honor. Originally, they were already somewhat dissatisfied with how the Meng Family valued a youngster so much.
Which one of them wasn't famous in Yunhai? Some of them were even old friends of Meng Zhiyuan. However, even they didn't have the qualifications to have a seat of honor. This caused them to be even more unhappy.
"Big Brother Meng, just by looking at the brocade box, we can tell that the gift is very valuable. Why don't you let us broaden our horizons and see what kind of treasure is inside?" At this moment, a 50-year-old man looked at Meng Zhiyuan and smiled.
The moment the man spoke, a lot of them nodded their heads. They wished to see what kind of treasure was inside the brocade box. Although the words were spoken politely, everyone present knew that it wasn't a treasure but a joke.
Meng Zhiyuan looked at the man and immediately felt dissatisfied. This man was obviously here to stir up trouble! However, with so many guests present, he didn't dare to let Cheng Yu lose his face. Therefore, he looked at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu only smiled faintly at the person who wanted to stir up trouble and nodded his head.
After obtaining Cheng Yu's permission, Meng Zhiyuan was also curious about what kind of gift Cheng Yu had given him. The reason why Meng Zhiyuan valued Cheng Yu so much was because the Meng Family was Cheng Yu's business partner. But more importantly, it was because of Cheng Yu's identity.
Previously, the reason why they would get close to Cheng Yu was because they were threatened by Kunlun. What kind of people were Kunlun? They were like immortals. But Cheng Yu was able to go against Kunlun and even made Kunlun feel fear. What did this mean? This meant that Cheng Yu had a background that was even stronger than Kunlun.
Previously, when Meng Wen and Cheng Yu had reached an agreement, Meng Wen told him that if Kunlun dared to stir up trouble again, Meng Wen would say that they were from Limitless Palace.
Although he didn't know what Limitless Palace was, he knew that it was definitely Cheng Yu's backer. It was a backer that even Kunlun didn't dare to provoke. Therefore, in Meng Zhiyuan's understanding, Cheng Yu had also come from an immortal world. Perhaps, he might also be an immortal.
To such a person, if he was able to gift them some immortal treasures, it would be a great fortune for them. Therefore, he hoped that the small brocade box that Cheng Yu had given him contained some immortal treasures.
However, such a small box would definitely not contain any treasures. His heart was filled with excitement and anticipation, but at the same time, he was afraid of being disappointed.
Meng Zhiyuan didn't open up Cheng Yu's small brocade box first. Instead, he opened up Lan Ya's long brocade box. The moment the box was opened, everyone immediately stood up. They were completely astonished.
Why? Because Lan Ya's long brocade box contained a ginseng. If it was an ordinary ginseng, everyone wouldn't be so astonished. But the ginseng that Lan Ya had gifted them was not only as thick as a baby's arm, but its shape was also similar to a real baby.
Those who were able to sit here today were mostly bosses in the pharmaceutical industry. Perhaps, they might not know much about other things, but when it came to medicinal herbs, they were definitely knowledgeable.
Such a lifelike ginseng, how much would it cost? Sky high price? They could only say it was sky high price?
If those huge ginseng that was auctioned off in the auction house was considered as the king of ginseng, then what would this ginseng that had already taken form be called? Ginseng essence? How could this be a thousand years old ginseng? It was probably more than ten thousand years old. It was about to become a spirit!
Meng Zhiyuan's hands were trembling. Other than astonishment, his face was filled with excitement. He truly didn't expect Lan Ya to give him such a precious gift.
Yang Ruoxue and Lan Jinsong who were sitting at the side were speechless. Especially Lan Jinsong. When he saw his daughter gave such a precious gift to the Meng Family, his heart was bleeding.
This daughter was too wasteful. She had such a good thing, yet she didn't even know about it. Now, she actually gave it to someone else. His heart was in pain.
Although Yang Ruoxue was shocked, when she saw Cheng Yu looking at her in fear, she was somewhat angry. She dared to confirm that Lan Ya did not have the ability to take out such a precious thing. Only Cheng Yu would have such a thing. This ginseng was definitely given to her by Cheng Yu.
When she thought of this, Yang Ruoxue became even angrier. Even she did not have such a good thing, but Cheng Yu actually gave it to Lan Ya as a gift. It was obvious that he cared more about Lan Ya.
When Cheng Yu saw Yang Ruoxue's expression, he knew that he had stirred up trouble again. He could only look at Yang Ruoxue with an aggrieved expression. However, Yang Ruoxue didn't seem to appreciate it as she turned her head to the side.
"Niece Lan, I really didn't expect that you would give me such a precious gift. I appreciate your intention, but I really cannot accept this gift. Niece, please take it back!" After the astonishment, Meng Zhiyuan kept the brocade box. He stood up and walked towards Lan Ya before handing it over.
"Uncle Meng, what are you saying? How can I take back a gift that I have already given out? Today is Uncle Meng's birthday. I also hope that Uncle Meng can be like this ginseng and live a long life. Therefore, Uncle Meng, you don't have to be so courteous!" Lan Ya smiled as she pushed the brocade box back.
"This …" Meng Zhiyuan knew the value of this ginseng. Such a precious gift, if it was him, he wouldn't bear to give it away. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to accept it. However, this was truly too precious. He could only look at Lan Jinsong.
In the past, both of them were opponents. Now, they had become business partners. Both of them could be considered to have become friends. However, with Lan Jinsong present, he really didn't dare to accept it.
However, although Lan Jinsong's heart was bleeding, everyone present was a reputable person in Yunhai. If he were to take back the gift, wouldn't he be throwing away the Lan Family's face?
"Since this is a gift from my daughter to Brother Meng, Brother Meng will naturally have to accept it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespecting my Lan Family?" Lan Jinsong braced himself and said generously.
"This … many thanks to Brother Lan and my niece!" Since the other party had already spoken, if he were to reject it, he would be too hypocritical.
Everyone didn't expect that Lan Ya's brocade box would contain such a precious gift. They were all envious of it. But now, it was Cheng Yu's small brocade box. Everyone felt that Cheng Yu was going to lose his face.
Other people's brocade box was very big. Naturally, the treasures inside would be very valuable. But Cheng Yu's small brocade box was very small. How could he possibly put anything valuable inside?
With Lan Ya's gift, Meng Zhiyuan was also somewhat nervous. After all, Lan Ya's gift was priceless. He was really worried that Cheng Yu would lose his face.
Meng Zhiyuan slowly opened the box. Inside the box, a green radiance flashed out. No one dared to look at it directly. After that, the whole inner hall emitted a unique fragrance. This fragrance caused everyone who smelled it to immediately feel that their body had become very comfortable.
Everyone present was a boss. Every day, they had to deal with such matters. Their bodies were very tired. But when they smelled the fragrance, they immediately felt refreshed. Their whole body was filled with energy!
When the radiance disappeared, a green sparkling and translucent pill appeared in front of everyone's eyes!
