Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Special Birthday Banquet
Bai Suzhen's arrival today can be said to be completely unexpected by Shi Yuan, but although the scene is very embarrassing now, it is finally okay! Zhang Hongye obviously didn't know about his relationship with Bai Suzhen. Shi Yuan was secretly happy in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Guo Renjie on the stage.
After Guo Renjie came to power, the originally noisy crowd also quieted down. I saw Guo Renjie on the stage, dressed in brocade clothes, with a hint of wealth between his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, his broad lips grinned slightly, and his rich face was full of smiles, holding hands slightly at everyone in the audience...... Although he is wide and fat, he looks more shrewd and capable at this time, and less sleek and cunning on weekdays!
Seeing that everyone in the audience was quiet, Guo Renjie hugged his hands and said to the audience: "Thank you for being able to participate in my father's 50th birthday today. 's mother passed away early, and today's Guo Renjie is all raised by his father! I, Guo Renjie, kneel down to thank my father first! ”
Shi Yuan couldn't help nodding again and again, it was rare to see Guo Renjie look so serious, and what he said was also extremely pertinent...... "Brother Guo is really a filial son!" I don't know what kind of character his dad is!? Shi Yuan said secretly in his heart, then smiled slightly, and looked at Guo Renjie on the stage again.
As soon as Guo Renjie's words fell, he turned around and really knelt down to the curtain behind the stage, and then kowtowed and shouted: "The child wishes his father a great birthday, and I wish my father good health and a long life!" ”
Eight simple words: be healthy and live a long life. But it contains all the expectations and blessings of Guo Renjie as a son of man.
As soon as Guo Renjie's voice on the stage fell, he heard a long laugh of "haha", and then saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walking up to the stage and saying to Guo Renjie who was kneeling on the ground: "Wu'er, hurry up!" ”
"This is Brother Guo's father?" Shi Yuan looked carefully at the middle-aged man on the stage, and saw that he was similar to Guo Renjie, his face was flushed, and his two eyebrows were not thick, but with his squinted eyes, he also had a look, with two beards on his mouth, and a smile on his face that was the same as Guo Renjie.
Guo Renjie, who was kneeling, heard this, so he slowly got up and stood behind his father respectfully.
The middle-aged man on the stage nodded with a smile on his face, and then said to everyone in the audience: "Today is my Guo Youwei's fiftieth birthday, as the saying goes: Fifty is the year of knowing the destiny of heaven...... I didn't want to make such a big show, but I couldn't resist the dogs, so I have to rush around today! After Guo Youwei finished speaking, he hugged his hands slightly to everyone in the audience, and his apologetic face looked very sincere.
Shi Yuan looked at it on the table, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Guo Youwei...... It's a simple name, but it also has a deep meaning! With so many people coming today, even Luo Wenfeng, the only son of the Jinling prefect, personally sent a plaque...... Although he was angry with himself, there were Dong Feng and Bai Suzhen around him, Zhang Hongye and others who came all the way from Hangzhou, and Shen Wei who came at his invitation...... These people don't give anyone face!
This Guo family can have today's achievements, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with Guo Youwei! Everyone in this audience is the same generation as Guo Renjie, and Guo Youwei can be so polite to his juniors, how can he not make people feel good? It is no wonder that the Guo family can get so close to the government, in addition to the ceramic business run by the Guo family, I am afraid that it is also related to the means of the Guo family's father and son to win over people!
"This Guo family father and son are singing a good show of 'loving father and filial piety', but it is a popular heart!" Just when Shi Yuan was secretly sighing on the side, he listened to Bai Suzhen on the side say in a joking tone.
"Humph! Don't think that the merchants in the world are as treacherous as you think! Don't forget that you're here to congratulate Uncle Guo on his birthday today! Brother Guo's filial piety is sincere! Shi Yuan listened to Bai Suzhen's words sincerely, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with a stern face.
Bai Suzhen couldn't help but be stunned, and then bit her lip hard, as if she had ten thousand grievances, but she couldn't say a word! Zhang Hongye on the side nodded with a smile on her face, after all, she is also a merchant.
The atmosphere at the table was a little awkward for a while, but fortunately someone started talking at this time......
Uncle Guo laughed! I'll wait for the younger generations to come to congratulate you on your birthday, and I should. And how can there be such a thing as rushing? As soon as Guo Youwei on the stage finished speaking, someone in the audience said loudly. Everyone looked for the sound and saw Jin Sijie standing up not far away.
"This kid can behave!" Shi Yuan glanced at it and cursed in his heart.
And Guo Youwei on the stage heard Jin Sijie's words, but he smiled kindly and said to Jin Sijie: "Jin Gongzi, please sit down." Seeing Jin Sijie sit down, Guo Youwei continued to everyone: "In any case, you can come, I, Guo Youwei, am very happy today!" I won't say more polite words, I hope that after you go out today, don't dislike the dog's inconsiderate hospitality! ”
Everyone in the audience heard it, and couldn't help laughing, Guo Youwei stopped laughing, and everyone stopped laughing, only to hear Guo Youwei continue: "You are afraid that it is still early today, and there may be many people who have not eaten yet, and then it will be arranged by the dog, and the birthday celebration will be talked about when everyone is full!" After Guo Youwei finished speaking, he turned around and whispered a few words to Guo Renjie, and then walked off the stage.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but discuss, Shi Yuan only listened to Dong Feng beside him and said to himself: "This Uncle Guo is interesting, it stands to reason that after the guests come, they will start arranging birthday greetings, but I didn't expect his old man to let people eat first!" Hey hey ......"
Hearing Dong Feng's explanation, Shi Yuan understood: No wonder these people have a lot of discussions, it turns out that there is still this statement! I don't know what Brother Guo wants to do...... Could it be that? Shi Yuan thought of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled mysteriously.
"Then came the historic moment...... Hey! I don't know where Yue'er's girl went! Then Shi Yuan was worried about Lin Yingyue again, but after looking around again, he still didn't find Lin Yingyue......
"Brother Shi, what are you looking for?" Dong Feng on the side saw Shi Yuan, who was restless, and asked suspiciously.
"I'll look for the moon again...... Nothing, nothing! Shi Yuan subconsciously spoke, but then saw Bai Suzhen on the side, so he quickly changed his words and prevaricated...... If Lin Yingyue and Bai Suzhen were really allowed to meet, although I don't know what would happen, that scene was not what Shi Yuan wanted to see!
And the reason why Shi Yuan was looking for Lin Yingyue was also because he was a little worried about Shen Wei...... After all, that chick is a martial arts master, and the means are endless! If she said something to Lin Yingyue, I was afraid that she would not have good fruit to eat!
Hearing Shi Yuan's words, Dong Feng shook his head in confusion, and then had to turn his head to look at Guo Renjie on the stage.
"Don't be impatient, the reason why my father arranged it this way is just because, in addition to inviting you to celebrate my father's birthday today, there is another thing to show you." When Guo Renjie said this, his tone was stunned, and everyone in the audience was waiting for his next with curiosity, but Guo Renjie smiled slightly, clapped his hands and said, "Serve!" ”
