However, this sentence did not make people laugh as he had expected. Instead, there was a deathly silence, and some people looked at him with pity and schadenfreude.
This made his heart skip a beat, and his face instantly turned pale. He immediately reacted and cursed himself for being so excited that he forgot himself.
This was the engagement banquet of the Zhao Family and the Shen Family. He said that Tong Yaner was the only protagonist. Where did he put the newlyweds of the Zhao Family and the Shen Family?
At the thought that he might offend the Zhao Clan with his blabbermouth, cold sweat immediately trickled down his forehead. His face turned pale and bloodless. He wanted to explain but didn't know what to say. He was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Wow, in fact, I've always been envious of those celebrities who have die-hard fans. I didn't expect to meet a live one today, and it's my, Tong Yaner's, die-hard fan. I'm really flattered. Thank you, thank you, handsome, for your love. I'm very touched."
Tong Yaner sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so she teased wittily and humorously.
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the atmosphere eased up a little. It could be said that they had helped the young master out of his predicament.
That young master looked deeply at Tong Yan 'er with deep gratitude in his eyes. He reckoned that from today onwards, he would truly become a hardcore fan of hers.
"Alright, as the master of ceremonies for today's engagement ceremony, I can't steal the limelight just for the sake of attracting fans."
Tong Yaner deserved to be the top host of the national TV station. She was very good at controlling the atmosphere on the spot. After being humorous for a while, she immediately changed the topic and formally entered the process of the engagement ceremony, "The sun is shining, the singing is flying, the laughter is joyful and auspicious. On this beautiful day, I am very honored to attend and preside over the engagement ceremony of Mr. Zhao Zilong and Miss Shen Muqing. I am very honored and proud. I believe that all the guests will also feel honored and will leave a good memory in your life. First of all, please allow me to represent Mr. Zhao Zilong and Miss Shen Muqing as well as their parents and family members to express a warm welcome and sincere thanks to all the guests … Next, let's carry out the first item of today's ceremony.
Zhao Tianya, dressed in a festive red Tang suit, went to the stage with a ruddy face and said some welcoming and grateful words. The crowd also gave him a warm applause.
"Now let's enter the second part of the engagement ceremony. Mr. Zhao Zilong's family will give the engagement gift to Miss Shen Muqing's family …"
In fact, everyone knew that the process of the betrothal gift must have been discussed in private in advance. The engagement ceremony was actually just a process.
To the Zhao family, this was a chance to show off their financial resources. To the Shen family, it could reflect the importance that the Zhao family attached to this marriage. It would also bring glory to their face.
Therefore, as Tong Yan 'er announced the start of the first ceremony, the Zhao family, who had long been prepared, sent three beautifully wrapped gifts to the stage. Tong Yan' er smiled and said, "I am very curious, what kind of betrothal gift did Mr. Zhao Zi Long prepare for Miss Shen?"
"Then let's take it apart on the spot."
The people of the Zhao Family had already rehearsed this, so they cooperated with him with a smile and began to open the gifts.
"Wow, 88,888,888 yuan for the betrothal gift!"
Tong Yan 'er held up the check in the first box and shouted with an exaggerated expression.
"Hiss!"
Even though everyone had long known that the Zhao family was rich, they were still shocked by the amount of betrothal gift.
Although wealthy families would give a gift of eight or six for the sake of auspiciousness in the marriage, it was usually eight at most.
180,000 or 660,000. Even if they were richer, they would at most give 8.88 million or 6.66 million. There was absolutely no one like the Zhao Clan, who could give a betrothal gift of more than 80 million in one go.
It should be noted that this was only a part of the betrothal gift, which shocked and envied people and made them look forward to what the next betrothal gift would be.
Zhao Tianya had a calm smile on his face. It was just less than 100 million yuan. It could show the strong financial resources of the Zhao family in front of everyone and let more aristocratic families follow in the footsteps of the Zhao family. This deal was absolutely worthwhile.
Old Master Shen's face was glowing, and he was so happy that he could not close his mouth. More than 80 million yuan was actually nothing to the Shen family, but it was only a part of the betrothal gift. What was more, the Zhao family's generous gift fully showed the importance they attached to this marriage with the Shen family, which made him feel very proud.
"I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what the rest of the betrothal gift is?"
Tong Yan 'er was very good at grasping the psychology of the audience and said expectantly.
The Zhao family smiled proudly, reached out to open the second box, took out a file bag, and gave it to Tong Yan 'er.
"Let's see what the second betrothal gift is. Ah, my God … "
Tong Yan 'er was very good at adjusting the atmosphere. As she opened the file bag, she said to herself. After seeing the contents of the file bag, she timely showed an exaggerated shocked expression on her face and uttered an unbelievable low exclamation, which made everyone's heart itch. They stared at the file in her hand without blinking and wanted to know what kind of betrothal gift could make such a famous person like Tong Yan' er so shocked.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot myself. It's really surprising. If it wasn't written in black and white, I couldn't believe my eyes."
Tong Yan 'er pretended to wake up from the shock and apologized insincerely. Her exaggerated expression made everyone hold their breath subconsciously and wait for her to announce the second betrothal gift.
"The second betrothal gift is — the property right of No.8 Villa in the Imperial Garden, and the name of the owner is — Miss Shen Muqing."
Tong Yan 'er was very good at setting up the atmosphere. After satisfying the suspense and whetting everyone's appetite, she excitedly announced with a flushed face.
"Wow!"
The scene was instantly in an uproar and fell into a noisy uproar. Everyone was shocked by the generosity of the Zhao Family, especially those socialites who had been secretly in love with Zhao Zilong. They wished they could rush up and replace Zhao Zilong immediately.
What a joke! The Imperial Garden was the top garden villa area in Andu. Its status in the real estate industry was equivalent to the Banwan Villa Area in Ninghai. It had always been famous for its elegant environment, wide construction area and high price. The price of each square meter of the villa in the worst location would not be lower than six figures. Rich people with assets less than 100 billion did not have the courage to buy a property there.
No.8 Villa, as the king of the Imperial Garden, was conservatively estimated that the price of this villa would not be less than 1.5 billion. However, the Zhao Family directly gave the Shen Family a luxury house worth more than 1.5 billion as a part of the betrothal gift and directly transferred the ownership to Shen Muqing. Such a generosity shocked everyone.
Master Shen was more complacent and subconsciously straightened his back. He didn't care about the villa. What he cared about was the face and sincerity given by the Zhao Family, which made him increasingly feel how wise his decision was.
"Unexpected, it's really unexpected. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Zhao Zilong absolutely loves Miss Shen Muqing …"
Tong Yan 'er waited for the shocked discussion to die down a little before patting her bulging chest and sighing with a shocked expression. Then, she said expectantly, "The second betrothal gift has given us such a big surprise.
After giving us such a huge surprise, what would the third betrothal gift be? Let's wait and see. "
The person from the Zhao Family who specially opened the gifts also felt proud and enjoyed the envious gazes of the crowd. Even if the gazes were not focused on him but the third betrothal gift in his hand, he also felt deeply honored. Without further ado, he quickly opened the third box and took out the document bag from it with a smile and handed it to Tong Yan 'er.
"What exactly is it? To be honest, I thought of the generous gift just now when I saw this document bag. Look, my hands are trembling. "
Tong Yan 'er said jokingly, which made everyone burst into laughter. However, most of them were looking forward to what the third betrothal gift was.
"This seems to be a … share transfer agreement. Mr. Zhao Zilong is now voluntarily giving 30% of the shares of Hongyuan Group under his name to Miss Shen Muqing for free …"
Tong Yan 'er frowned and read the contents of the share transfer agreement. Compared to the villa in the Imperial Garden, this share transfer agreement didn't seem to be very exciting.
However, that was because she didn't understand Hongyuan Group. The people below the stage who knew about it instantly let out an even more shocked exclamation than before. They simply couldn't believe their ears.
Zhao Zilong was able to become the number one young master of Andu and be known as the number one person among the younger generation of Andu precisely because he had used the five million venture capital provided by his family as the initial capital to establish Hongyuan Group when he was still in university. In less than five years, he had turned a small company into a listed company with a market value of hundreds of billions.
It could be said that the rise of Hongyuan Group completely pushed him to the altar. Although there must be the help of the Zhao Family's resources, it was enough to prove Zhao Zilong's business talent. Otherwise, why could Zhao Zilong be the only one among so many aristocratic families in Andu who could make such a big business?
It was a listed company with a market value of hundreds of billions of yuan. 30% of the shares meant at least 30 billion yuan of assets, which was directly given to Shen Muqing. The third betrothal gift of the Zhao Family was really generous. Compared with the third betrothal gift, the previous check and the mansion were really not worth mentioning.
Old Master Shen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhao Tianya with surprise and doubt in his eyes. When they discussed the betrothal gift, the Zhao Family didn't mention the transfer of shares. Even he didn't know what was going on.
Zhao Tianya had a calm smile on his face, and his deep eyes were as calm as an ancient well. Only those who were very familiar with him knew that he would only have this expression when he was extremely angry.
Yes, Zhao Tianya was very angry and aggrieved at the moment.
He had long known that Zhao Zilong liked Shen Muqing, so he fulfilled his wish and let him get engaged to Shen Muqing as he wished. After all, it was profitable for the Zhao Family to unite with the Shen Family through marriage.
However, he had never expected that Zhao Zilong would dare to act behind his back and give the Shen Family such a big betrothal gift.
This was absolutely intolerable for him. After all, although the Shen Family was useful, in his eyes, it was far from worth the price of 30% of the shares of Hongyuan Group.
However, Zhao Zilong played such a trick in front of so many people, so he had no way to vent his anger. He couldn't stand up and say that it was a joke. How shameless the Zhao Family was?
Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and pretend that nothing had happened. He was going to settle the score with Zhao Zilong when he came back.
One had to know that even though Hongyuan Corporation was under Zhao Zilong's name and was founded by him, without the Zhao Family's resources and secret help, no matter how capable Zhao Zilong was, he wouldn't have been able to make Hongyuan Corporation what it was today.
