Chapter 516: An Invitation Before Chinese New Year's Eve
Chapter 516: An Invitation Before Chinese New Year's Eve
ā¦ā¦
Two days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was February 18, 2016, which was Chinese New Year's Eve!
On this day, early in the morning, Huo Lanxiang and Grandma Yu, who had recovered her health, plus Yu Yixue, began to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe three generations of old, middle-aged and young women got together, and Uncle Zhong helped, Wang Zheng couldn't get involved.
Moreover, he also has his own tasks.
"Brother Wang, come to our house tonight to celebrate the New Year, it happens to be crowded and lively!"
"Oh, yes, but is there anyone else but me?"
"And Mr. Wang's family, and Mr. Kadoorie's family from Hong Kong!"
"Elder Wang, that's a big family!"
"Yes, Wang Lao's three sons and two daughters, plus the third and fourth generations behind, there are about 30 people who came this time!"
"What about Michael Kadoorie, and they Jews celebrate the Chinese New Year?" Ma Yun laughed.
"Do you follow the locals!"
"Okay, I see! I'll be there in the evening! But I'm a big family here, are you sure you can sit in your villa?"
"As long as there are no more than 100 people, no problem!"
"Haha, that's good. I'll go in the evening!"
After a brief chat, Wang Zheng hung up the phone.
Holding the mobile phone, after thinking about it, Wang Zheng called Wang Lei again.
"Boss!"
"Later, you will personally go to Taiqingguan, invite Michael Kadoorie, and say that I will invite him to my house for Chinese New Year's Eve in the evening!"
"Yes!"
Since the sale of The Peninsula Hotels to Wang Zheng, Michael Kadoorie temporarily moved from Hong Kong to Taiqingguan in the mountain villa in order to treat his body. By now, he's been living there for almost a month!
"Grandma, Mom, Yixue, I'll go out!"
"Come back early, and I'm going to go to the grave of your grandfather, grandmother, and Yixue's mother in the afternoon!" Huo Lanxiang instructed in the air.
"I know, don't worry!"
Wang Zheng, who agreed, turned around and walked out of the house.
After exiting the Yingke Valley along the winding stone road, I turned left and came to the adjacent Zhuxiu Valley. When passing by the No. 1 courtyard of Ma Yun, he simply glanced inside. Because of the cover of the bamboo forest, I can't see the situation clearly, but I can clearly hear the sound of children playing in the yard. Among them is the horse ingots he is familiar with, and he doesn't know who the rest is. However, he knew that Ma Yun had an older brother and a younger sister. My sister probably won't come, but my brother should come with his parents for the New Year.
Wang Zheng did not turn in, but continued to walk inside along the stone road for a while, and only turned in after seeing the sign of 'No. 6 Courtyard' next to him.
First, there is a bamboo forest, then two camphor trees that hug each other, and then a two-meter-wide stone bridge, crossing a winding stream four or five meters wide, and coming to the front of the small courtyard gatehouse surrounded by bamboo, stones, and flowers on the opposite side.
The two wooden doors were hidden, and Wang Zheng originally planned to push the doors in directly, as he had done the previous times. But after thinking about it, he still took out his mobile phone and found Wang Ying's phone and called.
"Hey, Zhengzi?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm here with the old man. After lowering his voice, he said, "I just arrived today, I'll look for you later!"
"No need! I'm just outside Grandpa Wang's house! You help me report, I'm in!"
"You're here? Okay! I'll help you out! By the way, my uncle, my dad, and my third uncle are here, and it's going to be about you. It is estimated that after a while, you will inevitably be 'besieged', and you are a little prepared in your own heart!" Wang Ying said with some schadenfreude in his words.
"Got it!"
After answering, Wang Zheng hung up the phone decisively, not giving Wang Ying a chance to continue to ridicule himself.
After closing his eyes and taking a breath, looking at the square and simple two-story wooden building directly opposite, Wang Zheng settled down.
"You are senior officials at the provincial and ministerial level, but now I am also a business giant who has trillions of assets, more than 200,000 families, and nearly one million people. Now I don't have to fear anyone anymore!"
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's eyes suddenly became firm. Pushing open the hidden wooden door, following the winding stone path, through the courtyard, I climbed the stairs and knocked on the door.
After a short time, the closed door opened from the inside.
To Wang Zheng's surprise, it was not Wang Ying who opened the door, but a middle-aged man in a black suit who was about thirty-six or seventeen years old.
"You're Wang Zheng, right?"
After the man looked at him briefly, he said with a smile in his tone with a hint of pride inherent in the superior.
"I am!"
Wang Zheng nodded.
"Please come in, grandpa and uncle are waiting for you inside!"
Wang Zheng nodded at the other party with an indifferent expression, and then walked in.
Closing the door, the middle-aged man looked at his back, looked at him with interest, and then followed.
Because it is not the first time to come, Wang Zheng seems to be familiar with the road, but because of the completely different circumstances before and after, he reveals a cautiousness between walking.
The living room of the villa is very large, with more than 100 square meters. But at this time, it is completely different and divided into two parts. Part of the original lounge was located, and at this time there were many daughters-in-law of the Wang family, third-generation women who had not yet married, and fourth-generation children and grandchildren who were still young. The other part is the old, middle-aged and young generations who are really in charge of the Wang family.
Old Man Wang sat in the center of the living room, and on his left hand side was a middle-aged man with a majestic bearing, wearing a gray tunic, and an indifferent expression. Wang Zheng is no stranger to him, not because he knows him, but because he has often seen it on the news of various TV stations before. At the same time, the current one of the Seventh Standing Committee members of the state exists and is the pillar of the Wang family in the political arena.
Wang Zheng didn't expect that on this occasion today, the other party would also be present. According to the practice of the national leaders he understands, it is basically at the time of the Chinese New Year to go to the grassroots people below, or the border guards and soldiers to pay New Year's greetings.
In addition to this familiar person, on the right hand side of Old Man Wang, there was a middle-aged man wearing a gray jacket and a smile. He is no stranger to Wang Zheng. Wang Ying's second uncle, then deputy secretary and member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, and secretary of the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee!
And next to him on the right hand is a lean middle-aged man, who looks seven points similar to Wang Ying, it is Wang Ying's father, Wang Hongjian, who is currently the vice minister of culture!
When he was first established, he was able to get the license of the cinema chain so quickly, thanks to the help of this person.
In addition to these three second-generation men of the Wang family, there were also seven third-generation men of the Wang family, including Wang Ying. The eldest is a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing black-framed glasses, sitting on the left hand side of Wang Ying's uncle Wang Hongjun, with a steady expression.
Wang Zheng knew that this third generation of the Wang family named Wang Lin was born. Now he has sat down as the mayor of Nan/Tong, a prefecture-level city in Suzhou Province, and a senior official at the department level. At the same time, he is also the leader of the third generation of the Wang family in the officialdom.
After he entered the door, whether it was the men of the Wang family led by the old man Wang, or the women of the Wang family who surrounded the old lady on the side, they all focused their eyes on him.
Compared with before, now with the growth of experience, Wang Zheng, who has long been accustomed to being noticed by everyone, calmly walked into the living room with their eyes.
"Wang Zheng is here, come and sit here!"
Old Man Wang beckoned.
Without other people's instructions, Wang Ying, who was most familiar with Wang Zheng, hurriedly brought him a stool next to him.
After saying thank you and sitting down, Wang Zheng said respectfully: "Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang." My grandfather, grandfather, let me invite you to our house for the New Year in the evening!"
"I remember! Brother Yu did tell me this. However, you see that there are so many people in our family, and it is not very convenient to get in and out, so I won't trouble you!"
"It's not troublesome! It's rare for everyone to spend the New Year in my villa. So, I'm going to bring everyone together, and it's lively when there are many people!" Wang Zheng smiled.
"In addition to us, are there many people who stay with you for the New Year?"
Wang Hongwei, who was sitting on the right hand side of Old Man Wang, spoke!
"This is my second son! According to the seniority, you can call the second uncle!" said the old man Wang on the side.
Wang Zheng nodded, although he didn't plan to be related to this high-ranking official and dignitary's family, but he didn't want to make himself look too hypocritical, so he generously called 'Second Uncle Wang', "In fact, it's not much, I promised to celebrate the New Year together in the evening, just Brother Mayun's family, and Michael Kadoorie's family from Hong Kong!"
"Ali's horse luck is with you too?"
Wang Hongjun, the second-generation eldest son of the Wang family, who had never spoken, spoke. In the face of this national leader at the national level, Wang Zheng wanted to say in his heart that it was impossible to say that there was no pressure. But it's still within his reach.
After nodding at the other party, "Brother Ma came a few days ago, and he lives in the No. 1 courtyard not far from here!"
"It seems that Xiao Wang, you really have a wide range of friends, you know the rich people in the mainland and Hong Kong!" Wang Hongwei smiled.
"It's a good conversation!" Wang Zheng smiled.
"By the way, aren't you also familiar with Li Zhaoji in Hong Kong? Why isn't he here?"
"Fourth Uncle is not used to the cold in the north. However, if Second Uncle Wang wants to see him, he might as well stay in the villa for a few more days, and when he is in the third year of junior high school, Fourth Uncle will come!"
"Really?" Wang Hongwei said with some surprise.
"Yes! I've called in advance! Unless something happens in the middle, there should be no surprise!"
Li Zhaoji came to the villa this time to visit his nominal cheap master, 'Taiyi Lao Dao'! Now Wang Zheng has taken it to 'pull up the tiger skin and pull the banner,' thus giving himself a strong momentum.
And, he did get an effect. In addition to the three elders of the second generation of the Wang family who have been in officialdom for a long time, are in high positions, and have seen a lot of wealthy businessmen. The third generation of the rest of the younger generation of the Wang family all showed surprise on their faces.
