Although Mr. Xia has long been out of the family, he still has great prestige and power in the family, so although Mr. Xia has repeatedly emphasized that his birthday should be low-key, the children are still very grand and festive, and they dare not be sloppy, and no one should be missed.

Xia's Dongtai Group, as one of the leading enterprises in LZ City, pays billions of taxes every year alone, and naturally many business owners want to hug their thighs, and they all take advantage of Mr. Xia's birthday to come over and make a familiar face, even as a competitor who wants to come for a drink because of face, those high-ranking government officials who can't come in order to avoid suspicion have also sent their subordinates to attend, and the banquet is full of twenty tables.

The location of the birthday banquet was not chosen to be held in the hotel but in the Xia family mansion, just because the invited people are successful people who have heads and faces in LZ City, these people are luxury cars, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi are blooming everywhere, it is usually rare to see world-class luxury cars Cadillac, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche There are also a lot, if you park together, it is tantamount to holding a high-end luxury car exhibition, in this society where the rich and the poor are strictly divided and the people are full of contradictions, it does not know how much it attracts attentionIn order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to choose a private club.

In the gorgeously decorated ballroom that can accommodate hundreds of people, men and women who are brightly dressed and bright and moving gather together in twos and threes and talk quietly, and see an old man in Tang costume wearing purple as the main tone and painting a circle of red patterns on it to look festive, accompanied by several temperamental or majestic or noble or elegant sons and daughters-in-law appeared on the central stage, and they all unconsciously stopped talking, needless to say that this old man is Old Man Xia.

Wine debts are commonplace, and life is rare for seventy years.

Although the old man is seventy years old this year, he still looks energetic, and his demeanor is not inferior to that of young people.

"Distinguished guests, relatives and friends: Good afternoon! Today is my father's 70th birthday, I am glad that you can come to celebrate my father's birthday, I will not say more kind words, let us congratulate him on his happy birthday! A middle-aged man standing on the left hand side of Old Man Xia with a calm temperament and a somewhat dignified face said, first turned to Old Man Xia and said, "Dad, happy birthday." ”

"Happy Birthday Dad!" The other sons and daughters of the old man Xia all congratulated him in unison, and the grandchildren of the younger generation immediately opened their singing voices and sang the birthday song for the old man.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"

……

In the birthday song of everyone in unison, the old man Xia happily took the fruit knife and cut the seven-layer pagoda-shaped birthday cake in front of him with a fruit knife, and said loudly: "Thank you a lot for coming to celebrate the old man's birthday, I am very happy, and there is nothing to entertain everyone, only a little wine and pastries, I hope you don't dislike it, there is a dance party after the meal, the old man wishes everyone a good time." ”

"The old man is too polite, it is an honor for us juniors to be able to give you a birthday to the old man."

This is what the bosses of the Xia family are saying.

"Xia Lao, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."

"I also wish Xia the old age to have today, and the years to have today."

This is the boss who has never had the opportunity to meet Old Man Xia, and now he takes the opportunity to hurry up and wish himself a birthday.

"Thank you, thank you!" Old Man Xia pressed his hands downward, and after everyone quieted down, he said kindly: "Those who came here today are all friends of my Xia family, and the Xia family will not forget this friendship of everyone." ”

"Dad, it's almost time to take a seat." The middle-aged man with a calm temperament whispered close to his father's ear.

"Then let's have a table. Huasheng, you greet the guests for me. Old Man Xia nodded and said.

"Yes." Xia Huasheng replied, then glanced at the people present, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the wine and food have been prepared, please move to the restaurant on the side to eat." ”

Old man Xia did not dine with everyone, but went back to his room accompanied by the old housekeeper, although the old man likes to be lively, but he can't help tossing when he is older, everyone on the earth knows that the banquet of Chinese people is one of the most tossed places, regardless of whether he knows each other or not, whether the relationship is good or not, after sitting down, he will make a few glasses of wine first, and then you will come and go, you must get the other party drunk, otherwise it is not enough to show your enthusiasm for treating people and the amount of alcohol that is superior to others.

It's just that all of you here today are people with status and status in society, so naturally they won't learn from those peddlers, pawns, Bai Ding, and the like outside, who are just happy and completely ignore their own image, but they all drink to the extreme, and they stop at a shallow taste, and the toast is also a polite toast.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xia Huasheng stood up and cleared his throat when he saw that everyone had almost eaten and drunk, and said, "Today, while all the bosses and leaders are here, I want to ask you to be a witness." ”

Everyone saw the chairman of Dongtai Group stand up and speak to everyone to testify, the noisy banquet was quiet all of a sudden, almost a needle could be heard, everyone looked at Xia Huasheng, every word said by a big man like him is extremely weighty, especially the words about business are huge, many times can directly cause large fluctuations in stock prices, and people can't afford not to pay attention to it.

Xia Huasheng's deep gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, very satisfied with this effect, beckoned to Xia Siyu and Chen Yufeng at the adjacent table, and after both of them walked to his side, he smiled unhurriedly: "The little girl Siyu and the son of the Chen family, Yufeng, have been engaged in a baby kiss since childhood, of course, this is a joke that our parents are happy to say for a while, in this era of free marriage, it still depends on whether the two of them love each other, and they can only become husband and wife if they are fated, and we parents can't force it." ”

After a pause, Xia Huasheng continued: "The matter of fate is so wonderful, I didn't expect that our jokes would come true, the two of them attracted each other to fall in love freely, but they were not yet old, so they begged us to be a witness, first make a marriage contract, and then get married after graduating from college in a few years, I now want to ask everyone here to witness with me to give them the most sincere blessings." ”

Xia Huasheng said nicely, Xia Siyu and Chen Yufeng are in free love, and the engagement is also voluntary between them, but none of the people here are fuel-efficient lamps, and they are like mirrors in their hearts, this is actually a business marriage. The two are engaged, which means that Dongtai Group and Chen's Group have since been tied together to become the closest comrades-in-arms in business, which can not but be said to be a big news, Dongtai Group as a leading enterprise in LZ City, needless to say, although Chen's Group is not as good as Dongtai Group, but it is also in the top ten enterprises in LZ City, once the news of the alliance between the two is spread, it is bound to inject vitality into the sluggish stock market, it is expected that the stock prices of the two groups will rise sharply, and even the companies and enterprises related to these two groups will also rise with the tide. On the contrary, companies and enterprises that have a bad relationship with these two groups are only afraid that their performance will decline.

No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, they couldn't lose their manners, and when Xia Huasheng finished speaking, they all rushed to be the first to spare, and praised and blessed Xia Siyu and Chen Yufeng, saying that the two were golden boys and girls, talented men and women, and a pair of beautiful people made in heaven......

In the sound of congratulations and blessings, Xia Siyu and Chen Yufeng were also busy thanking everyone one by one, but they didn't know how many people were happy and how many were sad?
