Chapter 1031: Birthday Banquet
However, Zhao Ping'an is as calm as ever, and those who have a heart can even find that Zhao Ping'an's expression has been so calm and calm since he appeared, whether it is in the face of rude ridicule or all kinds of strange eyes, there is no change.
Only when facing Wang Kaixuan did he show a light smile, showing his sunny and handsome side.
"Dad, this is Zhao Ping'an, he came to congratulate you on your birthday. Wang Kaixuan pulled Zhao Ping'an to introduce the two.
At this time, Wang Li was chatting with a few elders, and when he heard this, he looked at Zhao Ping'an, with no expression on his face, and nodded solemnly and said, "It's good to come, sit down." ”
Wang Li is nearly 50 years old, but he is fair-skinned and dignified, he used to be a university professor and a famous scholar, and after doing business, he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and still retains the rigorous and elegant temperament of a scholar.
He is also not optimistic about Zhao Ping'an, he has an old-fashioned view of the door in his bones, and his first impression of seeing Zhao Ping'an today is not good, and he is dissatisfied with Zhao Ping'an's casual dress, in his opinion, this is the manifestation of the poor boy's uneducated.
It's just that he is deep in the city, and his dissatisfaction is not shown on his face, and he is ready to observe it again. Zhao Ping'an's performance at the Dynasty Hotel last time also made him unable to see through it, causing such a big disaster, even the general manager of the hotel was disabled, and finally he was able to get out of the way.
And all the news was blocked afterwards, Xu Jian and others were ransomed by their families and never dared to mention a word, Wang Ruoqi has disappeared until now, saying that he was chased and taken away by debts, but the Wang family asked everywhere and had no whereabouts.
All of this made Wang Li vigilant, and he didn't dare to humiliate Zhao Ping'an in person like Fang Qiaoyun, of course, he didn't have any enthusiasm, greeted him calmly, and chatted with others, treating Zhao Ping'an as air.
Zhao Ping'an sat down on the sofa next to him, Wang Kaixuan said a few words with him, and was called away by Fang Qiaoyun, there are dozens of guests at home tonight, and her task of receiving is not light, so she can't stay with Zhao Ping'an all the time.
No one paid attention to Zhao Ping'an now, but Zhao Ping'an did not have the slightest restraint, sitting there listening to Wang Li chatting with others, with a calm face, not affected by the cold reception at all.
It wasn't long before someone offered their congratulatory gifts.
Wang Li has only one sister, and the family is abroad, so the Wang family has no relatives present, but Fang Qiaoyun's family is all here, her two brothers and one sister, and there are more than a dozen people with her family.
The eldest brother Wang Youquan, the second brother Wang Youde, the fourth sister Wang Youxi, Wang Ruoqi and Wang Peiqi are all Wang Youde's daughters.
Wang Youquan has two sons, both chubby teenagers, running around the house, looking for food everywhere and playing board games. His wife is also a vulgar and fat woman, Wang You used to be a gangster, he was imprisoned when he was young, and he married his wife in his 40s with the help of the Wang family.
Wang Youxi's son's name is Fan Qiang, in his 20s, tall and strong, with fierce eyes and tattoos on his arm, and he is a martial artist of the Nanlong Martial Arts Hall.
Because Fang Qiaoyun has her mother's surname, she has no connection with their first and last names.
First of all, Wang Li's friends sent congratulatory gifts, all of which were brand-name clothing, watches, and local specialties, with values ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
didn't give a royal gift, they were politely shirked, everyone applauded, and the guests and hosts were happy.
Then there is the Wang family, Wang Youquan sent Shou Tao Shou Noodles, this thing is actually carved from jadeite, which is very valuable, everyone is amazed, and Wang Li also likes it.
Wang Youde gave a set of tea sets, which are said to have been scattered in the prince's mansion a hundred years ago, and are worth hundreds of thousands. Wang Li likes it too.
"Auntie, I don't have much money, so I specially asked for a three-whip pill from the master, this is a secret recipe of the master, and taking it can make people ten years younger. Fan De offered a delicate jade bottle and said.
"You kid, I'm a lot old to eat this ......" Wang Li shook his head and laughed, and everyone laughed.
The effect of the three whips pill is naturally clear to everyone, it is the pill that Nanlong has sold for many years, it has a special effect on the kidney, and the price is not expensive, only 100,000 yuan per pill, but because of the difficulty of production, the production is scarce, and it has always been difficult to find a pill, and the actual value is much higher than 100,000.
It's not that insiders simply can't buy it.
Fan De smiled proudly, obviously his congratulatory gift was the most popular, and men liked it.
"Uncle look at my family's Tang Ming's congratulatory gift, he made a special trip to foreign countries to customize it back, you like to drink tea, but this coffee table is too bad. Wang Peggy's scream came.
Tang Ming shouted for a while, and several workers opened the huge box, and inside was a heavy nanmu tea table with four nanmu chairs.
Assembled on the spot, the pattern of the entire living room has changed suddenly, and it is much more simple and atmospheric.
"This tea table is too expensive, and it costs a lot of money for you to just get married, which is not suitable. Wang Li's eyes smiled when he saw it, and his mouth was delayed.
"Just a few million, a little bit. Tang Ming said proudly.
"Uncle looks down on my Tang Ming again, he is the vice president of Liang's construction, with an annual salary of more than 5 million, and he has done well in the last few projects, and he will soon be promoted to general manager, and his annual salary will be doubled, what is a few million. "Wang Peggy's coquettish show.
"Hehe, it's very good, our family is promising, do it well. Wang Li praised him even more happily.
The others also praised one after another, looking at Tang Ming differently one by one, and the meaning of stammering was more obvious.
"Brother-in-law, the more mixed the children of our Wang family, the better, Tang Ming is the most promising, Fan De is also a genius in martial arts, and he is deeply loved by Nanlong. ”
"It's your Kaixuan, now he is not too young, and he is just a doctor in the hospital, he can't be sloppy in choosing a husband, he must find a young talent in order to inherit the Wang family's industry and make our family more prosperous. ”
Wang Youde said in an old-fashioned manner, and at the same time glanced at Zhao Ping'an, the meaning was obvious.
"Xu Jiangongzi, who came from the provincial capital last time, is actually very good, but unfortunately Xu Gongzi was unhealthy and had no choice but to miss it, but there are many talented rich sons, and we can choose again. ”
"Kaixuan's children have little knowledge, we adults can't be confused, just find a cat and a dog and marry. Wang Youxi said even more ugly, and he also looked at Zhao Ping'an and said.
"Hehe, I won't mention this today. Wang Li's face suddenly became ugly, and his impression of Zhao Ping'an was even worse.
"How can you not mention it, Kai Xuan announced that he was his boyfriend in person, and today we must make it clear that we can't let Kai Xuan jump into the fire pit. Wang Youquan shouted vulgarly, leaning on the old and selling the old.
"Uncle, you don't have to worry about me and Zhao Ping'an, I like him. Wang Kaixuan's angry voice came, and people also ran over, she heard something wrong upstairs and ran down, her pretty face was flushed.
"Look at you, just say that she is young and ignorant, and she is really becoming more and more ignorant, what's so good about this kid, doesn't she just look like a little white face, and she has a little look. Wang Youxi did not restrain and taught him a lesson in person.
"There is no etiquette at all, today is my uncle's birthday party, he didn't even prepare a gift, it is estimated that he is too poor to afford it. ”
"This kind of person obviously eats soft rice, how can he be deceived by him. Peggy Wang followed with taunting.
"Zhao Ping'an prepared a gift, let me take it home in the afternoon, I will show you, the Armani suit bought for more than 80,000 yuan is more expensive than what my father usually wears. Wang Kaixuan defended angrily, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Why didn't he bring the gift himself, I think you bought it with money!"
"Cousin, don't deceive yourself, he's a poor ghost who can't even afford a gift. Wang Peggy looked disdainful.
"If he has the ability, he will also send a congratulatory gift worth several millions, like my Tang Ming, it is estimated that he will not be able to afford it in a few lifetimes. ”
"You ...... Bully, I'll take down the suit and prove it to you, it was Zhao Ping'an who paid for it, although he doesn't have much money now, but he has excellent medical skills, and he has noble medical ethics to save lives and help the wounded, and no amount of money can be exchanged for ......"
Wang Kaixuan was still arguing with them and wanted to go upstairs to get a suit.
was pulled by Zhao Ping'an, his cold eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally fell on Wang Li's face, and said calmly: "Uncle, I wish you a happy birthday! The suit is just my and Kai Xuan's heart, this is the congratulatory gift I specially selected for you." ”
opened the inconspicuous paper bag in his hand, took out a palm-sized exquisite brocade box from it and handed it to Wang Li.
"Put it there! Thank you for your trouble. Wang Li said coldly, he didn't bother to look at it.
Wang Kaixuan was very hurt, not only wanting his father to attach importance to Zhao Ping'an's gift, but also worried that it would be too common to open it and make Zhao Ping'an suffer more humiliation.
At this time, she regretted that she shouldn't have communicated well with her family, so she invited Zhao Ping'an to participate in the birthday banquet and let him suffer such a big grievance.
She should have thought that with the snobbery of the Wang family, she would definitely mock Zhao Ping'an at the birthday banquet.
"Yo...... I really prepared a gift, and it must be a stall for such a small size. ”
"Uncle, open it up and take a look, but you can't let him get by. ”
"Haha, maybe it's really a rare treasure, you can't talk nonsense if you haven't seen it......" The Wang family mocked more.
Wang Li's face was gloomy, he didn't want to open it in public, he also wanted to save some face for Zhao Ping'an, after all, Wang Kaixuan tried so hard to protect Zhao Ping'an, making him too ugly, and it also had an impact on Wang Kaixuan's reputation: "You don't need to look at it, just have a heart." ”
"Ah Li, take a look! Fang Qiaoyun sat next to Wang Li at this time, she didn't want to save face for Zhao Ping'an. Without waiting for Wang Li to respond, she reached out and picked up the brocade box and opened it. Wang Li's face was even more ugly.
But when his eyes fell on the brocade box, he was stunned, and then he showed a look of surprise, took it from Fang Qiaoyun's hand, watched it himself, couldn't see clearly in the box, and took out the things to watch.
This is a colorful snuff bottle, the material looks like amber, crystal clear, like an antiquity, with a layer of pastry honed by time.
"The exquisite snuff bottle used by Emperor Qian's birthday two hundred years ago is too realistic, several times more exquisite than the brochure. Wang Li sighed while watching, but he quickly put it down, and didn't say anything more.
Tang Ming only knew that he liked the tea ceremony, so he gave him millions of Nanmu tea tables.
In fact, Wang Li's favorite is the antiques of the previous dynasty, although he is not proficient in himself, but he is most interested in those objects in his hands, he is a Confucian merchant likes the historical heritage and stories contained in the antiques.
Zhao Ping'an was not idle here, after seeing Wang Li put down the snuffbox, he took out two brocade boxes from the bag, handed them to Fang Qiaoyun and said, "Auntie, this is for you." ”
"I have a lot of jade bracelets, so I don't need it!" Fang Qiaoyun knew what was inside when she looked at the packaging of the brocade box, and her disgust was a little loose, but she still said with a straight face, thinking that a poor boy could come up with a good bracelet.
She also has a hobby and likes to wear jade, especially high-quality jade, and her family buys a lot of it. It's just that a lot of money was spent, but there was no jade that could really be used.
After all, jade has been speculated to sky-high prices over the years, and the slightly better ones are tens of millions, and the more than 10 million can be regarded as rare. The Wang family is rich but not rich enough to spend tens of millions to buy jade.
