Chapter 196: An Inexplicable Invitation

Chen Shi will not pay attention to it for the time being, if the Internet wants to make achievements, it will not work without two or three years, especially now that the Internet is not so mature, and the golden age of the Internet will be five years later, at that time, whether it is broadband or what, all the conditions are almost mature, therefore, after five years is the golden opportunity for the development of the Internet.

At this time, it is just a matter of deploying in advance, and it is doing things with a forward-looking vision, but I don't know what it can do.

After talking to Fang Xuedong, Chen Shi didn't care about this matter, just asked Tao Zi to take the time to understand, and told him when he had time, if it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't pay attention to this matter.

On this day, Liu Cheng came to him. Since Liu Xiong was imprisoned, Liu Chengcheng used all means to control Liu Xiong's previous assets in just one month, and no one in the Liu family was capable of competing with him, so Liu Cheng can be said to have reached the sky in one step. Before, although he had a little money, his assets were definitely less than 100 million, and at this time, after receiving most of Liu Xiong's property, his worth can be said to have grown explosively, and his worth is definitely three or four hundred million.

Compared with Chen Shilai, of course, it is much higher. Chen Shicai has been struggling for about a year, and his worth at this time has not exceeded 100 million, unless all assets are discounted, otherwise, his liquidity is only tens of millions.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and Chen Shi doesn't know how to face Liu Cheng, because he has always felt that he can't stand Liu Cheng, so he has always been embarrassed to contact him. But Liu Cheng didn't feel like this, and he still talked and laughed after seeing Chen Shi.

Chen Shi received him at home, and as soon as he entered the house, Liu Chengcheng said: "It's still a good place for you, the environment is comfortable and comfortable, quiet and elegant, it's just a paradise." ”

Chen Shidao: "You can also buy one, you are worth so much now, it is not difficult to buy a villa, just around here, I heard that someone wants to sell it, do you want me to help you contact it?"

Liu Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and said no, the place where he lives now is already very good, and there is no need to waste it so much.

Chen Shi smiled and said no more. Liu Cheng has no children now, only one wife, the two are very affectionate, no matter what kind of house they nest in, they will not dislike it, the two of them met in adversity, and the relationship is very good. There are few people in the family, and they have not thought about changing to a big house, just live in a three-bedroom house.

Chen Shi asked Liu Chengdao: "Why do you have time to come to me today?

Liu Cheng said that it was okay, he had a wife in the affairs of the family, and he was mainly in charge of outside affairs.

Liu Cheng's wife is not simple, although she is from an ordinary family, she has good means, and she can be a person, therefore, when Liu Cheng controls the power of the Liu family, the relationship between the family is settled by his wife, Liu Cheng's main thing is to sort out the assets outside, hand over the official figures, and stabilize others, otherwise, I don't know how many people will attack the Liu family.

Liu Cheng said: "I came to you today to help people deliver invitations. ”

Liu Cheng said, handing out an invitation. Chen Shi was stunned, took it and opened it, only to see that this was an invitation to celebrate his 60th birthday, Chen Shi sat and looked right, but he didn't know this old man who had passed his birthday, nor did he know this old man's son.

He asked, "Who is this Jiang Chengxiong?" I don't have the slightest impression of this person, why did his father invite me for his sixth or seventh birthday?"

Liu Cheng said: "This is an official person, it will be beneficial for you to go, as for why people invite you, then I don't know, in short, people invite people with status and ability, and if you can send you an invitation, it means that you have the ability." ”

Chen Shi really couldn't figure it out, a person he never knew would send him an invitation, no matter who it was, it would make people feel inexplicable, if it wasn't sent by Liu Cheng, he would definitely be thrown away as garbage. Since Liu Cheng said that he could go, he had no choice but to go and see.

Liu Chenglai is mainly for this, and then chatted with Chen Shi for a while and left, the next day, Chen Shi was ready to go to celebrate people's birthdays, before going, Chen Shi specially asked his parents, what kind of gifts to buy for the old people's birthday, but what his parents said were gifts from the countryside, all of them were simple things, such as supplements, such as clothing, etc.

Chen Shi thought about it and didn't know what people's preferences were, so he bought two boxes of agricultural products after going around the mall several times, one box of wild mushrooms and the other box of wild eggs.

Chen Shi didn't celebrate the birthday of high-grade people, of course, I don't know what gifts people give for their birthdays, so I had to buy some gifts according to my own ideas, as for whether people like it or not, that's not what he pays attention to, anyway, they are people he doesn't know, if it weren't for Liu Cheng, he wouldn't go.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Chengcheng called to call him, and the two met in the hotel, and then walked into the hotel together.

In this city, no matter what kind of happy event, as long as the banquet is placed, it will not be in your own home, because most of the buildings in the city are buildings, and it is impossible to set up a banquet, so you have to book a banquet in the hotel, which also helps the hotel a lot, and has a lot of business.

The door of the hotel is very lively, people come and go, it seems that there are many guests, Liu Cheng told Chen Shi privately, saying that this big hotel is wrapped up today, not open to the public, only for Jiang Chengxiong's father to celebrate his birthday.

Chen Shi was slightly surprised, it seems that this Jiangcheng bear is very majestic, and his father's birthday actually chartered a five-star hotel, such a big spending, it can not be said that he is not shocked.

After entering the hotel, there was a special person to receive gifts, Chen Shi and Liu Cheng went, showed the invitation, and then put down the gift and were entertained to the second floor. After arriving on the second floor, enter a hall, which is full of tables, there are already a lot of people sitting, everyone gathers to chat, noisy, very lively, Chen Shi and Liu Cheng sit together, not long after, someone came to look for Liu Cheng, he apologized and went, leaving Chen Shi alone.

On the huge round table, he sat alone, looking a little bored, and he didn't know when the banquet would start, so he wanted to go home as soon as he finished eating.

Just when he was bored, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, what was that not the fat man Jiang Shou? He suddenly thought, could this Jiang Chengxiong have anything to do with the fat man? They are both surnamed Jiang, are they a family? Jiang Shou's parents are said to have died unexpectedly, so this Jiang Chengxiong is either the fat man's uncle or uncle, right? Then the old man who has passed his life must be Jiang Shou's grandfather?

The fat man didn't seem to see him, sitting alone in the corner, playing alone with a game console.

Chen Shi walked over slowly, quietly came behind the fat man, patted the fat man, and then said, "Why are you here?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and after seeing Chen Shi, he also asked, "Why are you here?"

Chen Shi laughed and said, "I'm here to celebrate someone's birthday, what about you? What is your relationship with the owner here?"

The fat man choked his mouth slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know the master here?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said: "I don't know why, anyway, people just invited me, I haven't even seen the owner here, do you think this is strange?"

The fat man was stunned again, but then he laughed and said: "Since you are here, you don't have to think so much, you can be safe, just eat and drink well." ”

The fat man still didn't say what his relationship was with the master here, and Chen Shi asked again: "The master's surname is Jiang, and you are also surnamed Jiang, there must be a relationship between you, right?"

The fat man laughed and said, "Of course it matters, otherwise how would I have come here." ”

Although he admitted that there was a relationship, he didn't say anything about it, and Chen Shi didn't want to ask again, so he had to shut up. The two gossiped again, but after a while, the table was full of people, but they had not yet seen the master's house, nor the old birthday star.

The tableware on the table is completely Western-style, Chen Shi estimates that today's banquet is probably Western food, at this time, the waiter is putting bottles of red wine on the table, and put down a lot of corkscrews, and the cups are all goblets, all of which are cups for drinking red wine.

This made Chen Shi a little surprised, logically speaking, the banquet should be mostly Chinese food, because the excitement of the Chinese banquet on the table is not comparable to Western food, most of the Western meals are eaten by themselves, there has never been a saying that everyone is serving dishes together, steak is a piece of one person, and it will not be placed in a large plate for everyone to clip, such a banquet will of course not be as lively as a Chinese banquet.

The guests were also curious, and after a while, the old birthday boy walked out accompanied by his children. Although the old man is seventy years old, he looks very strong, very energetic, and he doesn't need to be supported when he walks, next to him is a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old, with a national face, not angry and arrogant, this person should be Jiang Chengxiong.

Chen Shi paid attention to the fat man, only to see him playing a game alone, without even looking up.

Jiang Chengxiong beckoned his father to sit down, then took a microphone from the waiter's hand and said: "Relatives and friends, thank you for coming to celebrate my father's birthday, I, Jiang Chengxiong, thank you very much, you must eat and drink well today." ”

After an opening remark, Jiang Chengxiong said something about his father, and then told everyone that the banquet officially began.

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter served the food. It was not as Chen Shi expected, what came up was indeed Western food, not only steak, but also all kinds of pastries, there were many things that Chen Shi didn't know, anyway, they were all Western-style eating, one steak per person, the seasoning could be changed, there were spicy and non-spicy, and everyone changed it from the waiter according to their own taste.

Chen Shi asked for a spicy taste, this spicy taste is not chili, it is actually mustard, Chen Shi eats it, it is spicy and rushing, his nose is very uncomfortable, he is very unaccustomed to this kind of pulling, compared to chili peppers, there is no taste at all, he doesn't like this spicy taste.
