Chapter 957: The Dragon and Phoenix Among the People, Xu Taiping
957
Gift-giving is a science.
You don't necessarily need expensive gifts to set off your heart, and sometimes, the simplest things can make the best gifts.
Xu Taiping smiled and took out a red envelope from his pocket under the watchful eye of everyone.
This is the kind of red envelope that can be bought for a dollar on the side of the road.
The red envelope has a huge word for longevity written on it.
This red envelope was taken by Xu Taiping.
Who is looking for to get it? Find someone from the Zhao family to take it.
Early this morning, Mr. Zhao sent red envelopes to all the subordinates of the Zhao family, which was called the celebration of the whole world.
The Zhao family is rich, so the least red envelope starts at 1,000 yuan, these are for the most ordinary people of the Zhao family, and then there are some nurses, stewards, deacons and the like, these people's red envelopes are relatively large.
Xu Taiping found a subordinate, and then asked for a red envelope from the other party.
When Xu Taiping took out the red envelope, the eyes of everyone at the entire birthday banquet widened.
Even Zhao Qingshan, the president of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association, was a little unable to believe what he was seeing.
Someone actually gave a red envelope to Mr. Zhao at Mr. Zhao's birthday banquet?
Giving money is a vulgar thing.
Even if you really want to send money, few people will send money directly, and they usually send some high-value works of art and the like, so that vulgar things become elegant.
Among all the people here, even if they have the strongest copper smell, they know that they can't send money directly, so they finally beat a golden birthday star and gave it to Old Man Zhao.
Moreover, looking at the thickness of the red envelope, it is hard to imagine that there will be more than ten hundred-yuan bills in the red envelope.
It is estimated that there are only five hundred.
The birthday red envelope of 500 is actually a generous gift among the poor people, but at the moment this is not in the Zhao family, but they are all people with status and level, let alone 500, even if it is a red envelope of 50,000 yuan, it will look shabby.
In the evening, all the people who gave gifts, the cheapest things they gave were worth hundreds of thousands.
The old man's face was also a little weird.
A butler-like figure stood beside the old man.
This person is specifically responsible for helping the old man collect birthday gifts, and generally the things that the old man doesn't like are taken away directly by him.
Just when the housekeeper trembled the muscles on his face and was about to take away the red envelope in Xu Taiping's hand, Old Man Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand and took the red envelope from Xu Taiping's hand.
Just when everyone was shocked, Old Man Zhao opened Xu Taiping's red envelope, and then took it out... A hundred-dollar bill.
That's right, you read that right, it's a bill, a hundred dollars!
Only one!
There's one!
One sheet!
Sheet!
This Xu Taiping only gave the old man a hundred yuan!
Is this a seven-year-old child? Only a seven-year-old child can be so small if he gives a red envelope, right?
Xu Taiping was helpless, embarrassed, and congested.
He didn't expect that Old Man Zhao would open the red envelope he gave in front of so many people.
To be honest, Xu Taiping is rich, this is well known, but Xu Taiping didn't bring cash.
He tried to borrow from those descendants of the Zhao family, but he only borrowed a hundred yuan, do you say that it is embarrassing or not, and his heart is not congested?
Xu Taiping originally planned to borrow it from a guest, but firstly, everyone has an identity, and if you go up to someone to borrow money, it is a bit too low, and secondly, everyone has an identity, and who would bring cash with someone with an identity?
Therefore, Xu Taiping only borrowed 100 yuan.
A hundred yuan is also money! Don't take the good and the small and don't do it, don't take the money less and don't wrap it, Xu Taiping thought, the old man Zhao received so many gifts, then he would definitely not mind giving such a small red envelope, and even people couldn't notice the little red envelope he sent, so Xu Taiping naturally wrapped a red envelope of 100 yuan with peace of mind, but Xu Taiping didn't calculate it for thousands of calculations, especially why he actually sat at the main table, and people actually had this kind of rule for giving gifts and shouting out.
There's no way, it's too late to get a gift for the time being, Xu Taiping had to bite the bullet, but he didn't expect that Old Man Zhao was too face-giving and actually pulled out his 100 yuan in public.
The housekeeper standing next to Old Man Zhao pulled the corners of his mouth and shouted, "Xu Taiping, send... A red envelope of 100 yuan. ”
"Hahahaha!"
The whole courtyard was filled with laughter in an instant.
Even some of the top people in the city government couldn't help but laugh when they heard the voice of the housekeeper next to Old Man Zhao for a hundred yuan red envelope.
Everyone looked at Xu Taiping and didn't understand how Xu Taiping, a blue flag bearer, could do such a strange thing.
The flag-bearers of the other four flags in the field all covered their faces and bowed their heads, at this time they all regretted unusually how they were blinded by lard some time ago, and they would agree to let Xu Taiping become the flag bearer.
Dugu Ying, who was sitting next to Old Man Zhao, laughed and let out a laugh like a silver bell.
This was the first time Xu Taiping had heard a voice on Dugu Ying's body, and he was surprised to find that Dugu Ying's voice was actually very good, just like the call of a lark.
"It's a shame for you. Zhang Yuande, who was sitting below, looked sarcastic.
"This man, really... It's off the beaten path. Yu Guanhong couldn't help but admire.
"I think this can be seen from this that this son is different, everyone gives all kinds of carefully prepared gifts, only him, it seems that he does whatever he wants, in fact, he has already left a deep impression on Old Man Zhao!" Chen Lingyun said in a deep voice.
The people around were stunned for a moment, and then they all reacted.
That's right, the things they send are all things of extraordinary value, these things are usually the most impressive, but on such occasions, these things have become ordinary, it is better for Xu Taiping to give a hundred yuan red envelope.
For Old Man Zhao, what kind of good things has he never seen? Even if it is a tortoise shell that records ancient martial arts, Old Man Zhao only shows a slight smile, it can be seen that no matter how valuable things you send, Old Man Zhao may not take them to heart, and now, if you send a red envelope of 100 yuan, Old Man Zhao may really remember you.
As an old man Zhao, it is naturally impossible to anger you because you sent a red envelope of 100 yuan, and he remembered you, which is a great thing for you.
"Why didn't I think of it!" a person sitting next to Yu Guanhong couldn't help but clapped his hands and said.
"Me too, I didn't expect it, doing the opposite, this Xu Taiping seems to be ugly, but in fact, among all the gifts in the audience, it is his most brilliant!" someone sighed again.
None of the people here have no brains, and after laughing, many people have realized the extraordinaryness of Xu Taiping's hand!
in the hall.
Old Man Zhao suddenly laughed.
Old man Zhao's laughter, the laughter at the scene immediately stopped, so in the whole scene, only Old Man Zhao's laughter was left.
"Hahahaha, interesting, so interesting, Taiping, I like your red envelope, seriously, my father left early, decades, only I give others a red envelope, but no one has ever given me even a red envelope, everyone gives me all kinds of gifts, but they forget, only the red envelope, is the oldest tradition in my China, this red envelope of yours, reminds me of when I was young, my father, my grandparents, my great-grandfather, they gave me the red envelope, everything in the past, vividly, your red envelope makes me feel that I am not seventy years old this year, but seven years old, I feel like I'm still very young, hahaha, Taiping, you make me so happy!" said Old Man Zhao with a laugh.
Old man Zhao's words made everyone here feel heartache for a while, they spent a lot of time and energy and manpower and financial resources to prepare gifts, originally intended to please the old man, but they didn't expect that others were just a red envelope of a hundred yuan, and it made the old man happy like this, if they knew it earlier, they would also give a red envelope.
Everyone looked at Xu Taiping with admiration.
In hindsight, everyone will, now everyone thinks that giving red envelopes will have all kinds of benefits, but Xu Taiping is the only one on the scene who really does it.
Is Xu Taiping a person who has no money? Impossible, he is the bearer of the Blue Flag, the most prestigious person in the entire Yangtze River Basin, his identity is not in the forefront of so many people at the scene, but at least it is also the middle and lower reaches, he can't afford to prepare any expensive gifts, so he wrapped such a red envelope of 100 yuan, it was definitely thoughtful, he definitely had understood the mind of Old Man Zhao, so he gave such a red envelope.
In this world, there are too few people who can understand the mind of Old Man Zhao, this Xu Taiping can not only understand it, but also be able to do what he likes, this wisdom is by no means comparable to ordinary people!
"Taiping, what a dragon and phoenix among people!" Chen Shengli sighed.
"Awesome!" two words came out of Li Chenghuan's mouth.
Although Xu Taiping was a little blinded at this time, with his wisdom, he quickly understood the key, he rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "Old man, if you can like it, it's good!"
"I like it very much, so many people, you and Xiao Yingying are the most hearted, Taiping, just take advantage of this opportunity, so many people are watching, let me ask you something. Old man Zhao said.
"What's the matter?" Xu Taiping asked.
"You... When do you plan to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" asked Old Man Zhao with a smile.
Old Man Zhao's words made the whole scene fall into a dead silence again.
Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?
What's the situation?!
