Chapter 437: Rite of Passage
The next day, May 4th, Zhou Simeng's eighteen-year-old adult birthday banquet.
Located on the edge of the urban area of Pudong New District, Modu, a super luxury villa community, the gate of Zhoufu, has already come to many people at this moment.
Although it was still morning, many people came one after another.
Zhou Jielun, Gu Qinglime, Liu Tianwang and others had already arrived, because they all knew that Zhou Guyuan attached great importance to this matter.
So, as friends, they also arrived early, so if there was anything they could do to help, such as entertaining guests.
And Xi Cheng's family moved directly into the Zhou Mansion yesterday, dragging the family with their mouths, and those who don't know think they are also from the Zhou Mansion.
The flask was originally very thin-skinned, but unfortunately it was damaged by the guy Yucheng, so he came cheekily.
However, Zhou Guyuan was quite grateful to them, after all, Xi Cheng and the wine jug did help a lot.
For example, the three little princesses of his family all followed behind Zhou Simeng, making the villa more vibrant.
Zhang Tianwang also came, and he also came to the door with his children.
At noon, more than a dozen friends got together, and everyone had a lively meal.
There are important guests at home, and it is the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest lady of the Zhou family, so the chefs are all chefs invited from outside.
Unlike the real world, Zhou Guyuan did not invest in the catering industry here.
Therefore, if there is something at home, it can only be hired from outside.
The reason why I don't hold a coming-of-age ceremony in a big hotel outside is because other places are really not as good as villas.
Even the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on the Bund, where Zhou Guyuan's father and daughter went many years ago, was not as good.
Perhaps from the geographical point of view, the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund is definitely the top of the magic capital.
However, it is really not as safe as coming from home.
Privacy alone is not comparable to a hotel.
The coming-of-age ceremony is in the afternoon, the birthday banquet is in the evening, and the whole process takes about three or four hours.
After lunch, everyone chatted casually, and some people went to the adjacent horse farms and stadiums to play.
However, around 4 p.m., when the Hollywood giants and several Internet bigwigs have arrived, the bar mitzvah will officially begin.
Inviting so many guests over is not just for show, but to support the little guy.
Pan Qian, Lin Chao, Xiao Fei, Li Sichun and other senior executives of the company are also here, and several big stars of the company such as Cui Yujiao and Deng Xiaoying have also arrived.
According to the traditional etiquette of ancient times, the so-called coming-of-age ceremony for women is called the ceremony, which is to put the hair braid on the top of the head and insert it with a hairpin to show that she has an adult and belonging.
Generally, the female head of the family presides over the ceremony, and the invited female guest adds to the girl, indicating that the girl can marry when she reaches adulthood.
For this coming-of-age ceremony, Zhou Simeng also spent a lot of thought.
Whether it's clothing or hairstyle, she spent a lot of time.
Fortunately, she was originally an advocate of the revival of Hanfu, and she was also very good at these things.
Liu Songyun also attended the coming-of-age ceremony, after all, she is the mother of the child.
It was also at this time that many guests discovered her existence and understood why Zhou Guyuan had never been married.
In an ordinary ancient house next to the villa, Zhou Guyuan and Liu Songyun sat on the main seat, and the rest of the guests sat around.
In such an antique lobby, several Hollywood giants couldn't help but be very curious when they saw that everyone was wearing Hanfu, as if they were filming.
And the next coming-of-age ceremony was carried out in accordance with the rules of the ancient coming-of-age ceremony.
Of course, it is not a complete copy, but a reservation and innovation.
After all, many of the guests are foreigners, not to mention that there are many men attending this coming-of-age ceremony.
When Zhou Simeng appeared in a beautiful ancient Hanfu, everyone's eyes lit up.
Especially Xi Cheng and Zhou Jielun, they are even more amazed.
Because the two of them are elders who see Zhou Simeng more often, they didn't expect the eighteenth change of the female college and the ancient costumes are so good-looking.
Gu Qinglime, as the invited female guest, added a chord to Zhou Simeng, a beautiful girl.
It's actually quite simple, but everyone finds it very interesting.
Several Hollywood giants, since they are all expatriates, can only listen to the explanations of the translators in a whisper.
On the contrary, several Internet giants, dressed in loose Hanfu, sat quietly in their positions. On the surface, he laughed and talked to the person next to him, but in fact, he was thinking about the intention of Zhou Guyuan's move.
Because of this coming-of-age ceremony, the guests who came were all big names or celebrities in society, and their influence was terrifying.
If it's just a coming-of-age ceremony, everyone thinks it's unlikely.
You must know that Zhou Guyuan is known as a demon, a genius, and a little old monster, and his every move has a deep meaning.
Although he has only been in the film industry for more than a decade.
However, he has a good influence in the Internet industry, the investment community, and so on.
It's his brilliant mind.
Moreover, Zhou Guyuan has never attended the usual Internet summits, entrepreneur meetings, or other private gatherings.
It's just such an important private party, so let everyone come.
If there is no deep meaning behind it, who believes it?
So everyone is very jealous.
And at this moment, Zhou Guyuan, with a deep father's appearance, is like a smiling tiger, which makes everyone speechless.
But the one here is not an actor? The acting skills are very bad, even if there is anything dirty, it will not be shown at this time.
After the ceremony, Zhou Guyuan said to Zhou Simeng:
"From now on, you will be an adult, and I have been looking forward to you growing up, and now I am a little reluctant.
Hehe, let's not talk about that.
........ You must be cautious and cautious in your actions in the future, because your every move not only represents yourself, but also represents our family.
As for me, I have also laid a little bit of a family business, and I am ready to pass it on to you......"
Hearing this, Zhou Simeng was stunned for a moment, and passed it to himself?
And the reactions of other guests are different, a few Internet bigwigs are pouting, a little bit of family business?
Are you really modest, a large group with hundreds of billions of assets actually said that it is a little bit of a family business? What can you do with these people next to you?
What's more, the people present are either enemies or friends, which one doesn't know you Zhou Guyuan?
Hundreds of billions are all said to be less, but how many are behind it, who knows?
Pan Qian and other senior executives of the company are light and light, anyway, they already knew about this matter more than half a year ago, and they have already done a good job of handover.
As for Xi Cheng, he didn't care at all, but felt that Zhou Guyuan, an old friend, didn't know who he wanted to yin.
Zhou Jielun, Liu Tianwang, Zhang Tianwang and Xie Yingdi and others were stunned, did they really plan to go into hiding?
Three years ago, after Zhou Guyuan was crowned emperor at the Oscar, he never filmed again.
It was once rumored on the Internet that he might be going to live in seclusion from now on.
It's just that this rumor has not been confirmed, and Emperor Xie asked for a script back half a year ago.
It's just that now, if you hand over the property to your own children, what is it if you don't completely go into hiding?
Several people expressed their incomprehension, but they did not ask on the spot.
As for Cui Yujiao and the others, they were shocked and shocked, but they didn't say anything.
Because the current Zhou Guyuan is no longer at the same level as them at all, it is already very good to be honored to attend this time.
Liu Songyun's face changed greatly, and she immediately returned to normal.
It's just that her frowning eyebrows show that her heart is not so calm at the moment.
Soon, the bar mitzvah was over, and everyone began to move venues.
Chatting in twos and threes, we went to the main dining room of the birthday party, ready to eat there.
Zhou Simeng took her father's arm and walked at the back.
whispered in her father's ear, asking why he was giving her the property now, was there any plan, or did he not want her anymore?
Anyway, in her little head, it's full of cranky thoughts.
"What do you think? I'm going to go to your graduation ceremony, and I'm going to watch you grow up, and I'm going to see you get married and have children....."
When he said these words, he was sonorous and powerful, but in fact, he was very empty in his heart, and he felt very sorry for her.
Because just now, he had received the system's prompt sound, and his daddy task had been completed.
Although he hadn't checked the completion of the mission, he was about to be forced to leave the virtual world.
There were eighteen hours left, and the countdown began the moment her bar mitzvah ended.
Eighteen years old, eighteen hours, hehe, system your uncle!
Zhou Guyuan wanted to scold people, but he also knew that the occasion was not right.
He originally wanted to attend the little one's graduation ceremony, but now the system obviously doesn't want him to attend.
It's cruel!
Therefore, he could only cherish the next eighteen hours.
"Oh, really?"
Zhou Simeng tilted his head, and the doubt in his eyes had disappeared for the most part, but there were still a lot.
At this time, Hu Yiyi came running, panting.
"Mengmeng, let's go change clothes, this Hanfu is a little hot. ”
It's May now, and the weather in the magic capital has entered the end of spring, and it happens to be a big sun today, so the weather is a little hot.
Just now in the house, there is air conditioning, and I don't feel anything.
But, when you go outside, it's really hard to say.
"Okay!"
So, the two little girls left in a hurry, and met the other girls who came to look for them.
These girls are all Zhou Simeng's college classmates, and they have a very good time with her, so they are also fortunate to come to participate.
The next birthday party is not much different from the previous one, maybe the food is more delicious.
And when the eighteen-tiered cake was pushed out, the guests present were still surprised.
Singing birthday songs, making wishes, blowing out candles and other processes, everyone looked at the little birthday star with envy, this adult birthday banquet was too luxurious.
After eating and drinking, the birthday party also passed.
The next morning, Zhou Guyuan was still the same as usual, taking the little guy to run, ride a horse, and watch a movie.
He didn't let the little one go to work, but stayed with her until after lunch.
The little guy was about to go to sleep, Zhou Guyuan watched her sleep, and then said goodbye in his heart, and then he lost consciousness.
The system forced to leave, which is so unreasonable.
Eighteen hours is eighteen hours, not even one second.
