The rest of the time was naturally to prepare for the banquet.
Now that Qi Lingling had a conflict with her family, it was no different from running away from home. She did not have much money on her.
Fortunately, Bai Chen had saved up a few million as a streamer. It was enough to buy a few decent clothes.
Wang Xing said, "Xiao Chen, Lingling, you two go and see what you want to buy. We will go and prepare too. We can't go empty-handed!"
Bai Chen and Qi Lingling nodded. This was necessary.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the two of them and threatened, "Xiao Chen, don't spout nonsense. Otherwise, you will be in trouble."
Bai Chen was shocked and quickly nodded.
In Donghai City.
Chen Yuanyuan and the rest were in high spirits. They were shopping in various shopping malls.
Wang Xing made a few phone calls and asked the CEO of Nebula Corporation, Lin Jiang, to make arrangements. At least they could not be weak.
"Dean, what do you think of this shirt?"
"It looks good."
"Dean, what about this bra?"
"Don't ask me. I have already given you my bank card. When you are almost done shopping, find me at the coffee shop at the entrance."
"How boring."
Chen Yuanyuan was a little depressed. However, Hancock was very happy. Since she came to the college, she had not shopped much.
After shopping for an entire day, both of them were very happy.
Donghai City, Imperial Hotel.
This was one of the top three hotels in San Hai City. Many people would hold banquets here.
The Qi family was quite wealthy and famous in Donghai City. Most importantly, Qi Lingling's grandmother was very impressive. She used to be the mayor of Donghai City. Even though she had retired for almost ten years, many people still respected her. It was said that one of the leaders of the central government had worked under her and had received many favors from her. This made others even more afraid to look down on the Qi family.
At around five o 'clock in the evening, the Qi family was welcoming guests at the entrance.
From left to right, Old Madam Qi's three sons were all there. Now, these three sons had already started their own families and started their own businesses.
Qi Lingling's father was called Qi Yiji. He was the eldest of the three sons. Among the three sons of the Qi family, he was the most delicate and had the most ordinary business.
Inside the house, Qi Lingling's mothers and two aunts were accompanying Old Lady Qi.
"Mom, it's your birthday today, and there are many distinguished guests. It's a pity that my father passed away early. Otherwise, it would have been even more lively, "Qi Lingling's Second Aunt said.
"Today is a happy day, let's not talk about that damned old man." Old Madam Qi waved her hand. "Where are the younger ones from your families? They all have to come today. Otherwise, this grandma of yours definitely won't cut the cake."
"Our families will definitely come. I just don't know if the girl from sister-in-law's family will come." Third Aunt said in a strange tone.
"Lingling will probably come!" Qi Lingling's mother wasn't sure herself.
"Sister-in-law, you're spoiling Lingling too much. Don't you know what kind of family the Qi family is? Lingling actually decided to marry a country bumpkin from the countryside. She even said that she would only marry him. How shameless! Mom, you don't know that because of this, Lingling cried and made a fuss. She even wanted to cut off her father-daughter relationship with my big brother. This made my big brother so angry that he didn't eat for a few days. Not only that, but now the news has spread in the circle of Donghai City. It's embarrassing for our Qi family. "Qi Lingling's Second Aunt wanted to see the world in chaos, so she deliberately spoke very loudly.
"So what if he's from the countryside. A few generations back, our Qi family was also a farmer." Old Lady Qi was very open-minded and didn't have any intention of looking down on the countryside.
"Mom, but that Bai Chen only has a middle school education, and he's a complete rice bucket. Lingling's knowledge level and living environment are incompatible with his. Can they be happy together in the future?" Qi Lingling's aunt spoke up. She was Matriarch Qi's only daughter. Even though she was married, she was still very doted on by Matriarch Qi. Right now, one of the Qi family's companies was managed by her.
"Only a middle school education level? That's too outrageous. "Old Lady Qi shook her head, somewhat disappointed in Bai Chen.
"Not only that, but now that Bai Chen is actually doing a live broadcast on the Internet, and it's a live broadcast of eating. Don't mention how embarrassing it is. If our Lingling marries him, won't she be laughed at in the future? Even our Qi family's reputation will be ruined by him. " Qi Lingling's Third Aunt also added fuel to the fire. As for Bai Chen earning hundreds of thousands a month from live broadcasts, she didn't mention it.
"Young people nowadays are really too impractical," Old Lady Qi said lightly. She hadn't seen Bai Chen yet, but her impression of him was already starting to turn bad.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you call Lingling and see if she's coming?" Second Aunt said.
"There's no need to ask. Lingling called me in the morning and said that she'll come with Bai Chen. Bai Chen's uncle and two aunts will also come with her. I heard that Bai Chen's uncle and aunts are going to prepare some birthday gifts for me. At least they know some of the ways of the world, "Old Lady Qi said at this time.
"Mom, don't be happy too early. I'm guessing that Lingling's birthday gifts are just garlic, sweet potatoes, and wild pheasants. People in the countryside love to move these things to the city. They think that we city people care about them so much," Second Aunt said with a smile. This made Qi Lingling's mother's face turn black. The second and third daughters-in-law were making fun of them by saying so much.
"Mom, Mayor Li … Mayor Li is here." Old Lady Qi's third son walked in with a face full of glory. It was as if Mayor Li had come because of him.
No matter how rich the Qi family was, they only had less than a billion in assets.
In an economically developed place like Donghai City, there were at least eight hundred if not a thousand companies with such assets.
It was indeed surprising that the mayor would come personally for the birthday of an old lady of the Qi family.
Many guests were already secretly shocked.
"Mayor Li has made a lot of contributions to Donghai City in the past two years, especially the introduction of the Nebula Group's robot factory. It made Donghai City even more popular and ranked among the top in the world. I'm just a retired old lady. How can I be worthy of him coming personally to celebrate my birthday? I don't deserve it, "Old Lady Qi said as she immediately stood up and walked to the door.
"Old leader, why did you come out personally?" Mayor Li hurriedly said and stopped Old Lady Qi.
"What old leader? It's all in the past. You, the mayor, came here personally. It's nothing for me to walk a few steps, "Old Lady Qi said with a smile." Come in and sit. I still want to have a good chat with you today. "
"Oh right, old leader, Qi Lingling is your granddaughter, right? Is she here?" Mayor Li mentioned Qi Lingling before he sat down. This made the Qi family stunned.
"Did you see that? Eldest sister-in-law's daughter has embarrassed herself in the city," Second Aunt didn't forget to mock. The others also sighed.
