Chapter 247 An atmosphere of celebration
In the private room of Jin Jiang Hotel, the melodious music is rippling with laughter, and the strong family affection flows between the bargains and spreads in the mellow fragrance.
This is an ordinary gathering between the two families of Xiao Ning, but on this sunny spring afternoon, on this special weekend, it is destined to no longer be an ordinary family banquet.
To celebrate the upcoming public offering and placement of common shares, Ning Feiyang held this family banquet. Relatives of both families were invited to attend, which was meant by the old man, and also to add to the celebratory atmosphere.
Not only that, Ning Feiyang also invited Lu Kaiwen and Su Qing, and he wanted to take this opportunity to completely bridge the relationship between himself and Su Qing, and completely bridge the relationship between Xiao Zhuying and Su Qing.
Although Lu Kaiwen rejected himself in Su Qing's tone, despite the faint disappointment and mustard, the gradually warm atmosphere at the family banquet still made him slightly drunk and intoxicated.
As a son, a husband, and a father, Ning Feiyang handed in an answer that satisfied him at this moment.
When people reach middle age, they are interpreting the definition of a man with one success after another.
Xiao Yifeng and Ning Shoujie, who got together, exchanged compliments and congratulations to each other, and their theme was Ning Feiyang.
In comparison, Ning Shoujie was a little hesitant, he had never liked to communicate too much with this in-law who was once in a high position.
An old professor's solar terms made him unaccustomed to the natural officialdom of his in-laws.
Xiao Yifeng is also secretly lucky, how can he look down on the stubborn pedantry of his in-laws. A pedant who does not understand human feelings and sophistication cannot enter his own eyes at all in the past.
The two old men, who were secretly arguing, invariably shifted their attention to the others.
Compared with the two, Ning Feiyang still respects Xiao Yifeng's views more, a politician always has vision and wisdom that he can't reach.
In the urban atmosphere of S City, which advocates style, politics, vision, means and the pursuit of trends are all elements of entrepreneurs' cultivation. These are also things that Ning Feiyang has always taken a fancy to. Xiao Yifeng's help to his career is obvious to all, he is a thorn in his heart, but he is also his wealth.
"Flying. You said you invited Kevin Lu? Why didn't you see him? Xiao Yifeng can finally avoid his in-laws.
Xiao Yifeng's words made Ning Feiyang pick up the regret in his heart again.
"He has something he can't come. You may not know it yet, but he's in love. Ning Feiyang tried his best to make his explanation perfect and make everything seem natural. He knew his sense of smell for this Tarzan.
"Really? In my impression, Kevin Lu's little friend is not a person who disregards his career because of love. Today is our family dinner, but it is also a celebration and blessing for your cause. I was intrigued by what he did. The old man's eyes began to glow.
Ning Feiyang's heart moved, and every time he had a deep conversation with the old man, he could feel the depth of the old man.
"Really? Do you have a different opinion? I'm willing to listen. Ning Feiyang tried his best to keep his tone indifferent.
"Kid, it's not me nagging. Collaborators are your wealth, but strong collaborators are uncertainties. I've never been involved in things that I can't control. I don't know anything new about going public, but I do know it's a big thing that will change the power structure of a company. Every step requires caution and every step requires prevention. I've heard everything about Kevin, and you shouldn't hide it from me. The look in Xiao Yifeng's eyes gradually condensed into sharpness.
All Ning Feiyang could show was a wry smile.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just don't want to let these annoying trifles disturb your old age. Ning Feiyang filled the wine glass in front of his father-in-law.
Xiao Yifeng's eyes softened.
"Feiyang, I don't interfere in your affairs, but we are a family. I don't like to be hidden. You remember that at your age, in your identity and status, family affairs and your career are already inextricably linked. If you think about forcibly separating these two things, it will only increase your pain and will only make it difficult for you to move an inch. Xiao Yifeng's tone was soft and resolute.
Ning Feiyang had to chew on his father-in-law's words, and he had to admit that there was a meaningful life experience in the old man's words.
"Feiyang, I can ignore the affairs between you and that girl, because Bamboo Shadow will have her own choices. I don't care about Kevin Lu and that girl, because they are not my family. However, I have to pay attention to the relationship between you and Kevin Lu, and I have to pay attention to this collaborator of yours. Because that girl has intervened in your midst. Because your relationship has become complicated. You don't mind if I say that. The old man remained nonchalant, his eyes sliding over everyone at the table, as if he were just talking to his son-in-law.
"Don't mind. You also care about me. I didn't have any special relationship with that girl, it was all a prank on the girl's part. The misunderstanding has been resolved. Kevin's relationship with her was a bit unexpected to me, but they always had a crush on each other. Maybe I was the one who made them do good. Ning Feiyang struggled to organize his language.
"Really? Are you confident that there is nothing wrong with each other? Are you sure he won't do anything to you for that girl? I'm a politician, and I'm used to seeing the conspiracy behind a smile. Xiao Yifeng squeezed out a trace of disdain.
Ning Feiyang's brows locked, and he fell into self-hesitation.
"Don't blame me for saying these inopportune things at this time when I should be celebrating. I just want to ask you, are you ready? Xiao Yifeng was finally ready to give up the initiative to the young man.
"Dad. I prepared. I don't believe Kevin will be bad for me, but in the mall, I'm not going to leave my fate entirely in the hands of others. And you can rest assured that the transfer of equity in a listing is restricted by law. And I also prepared for it in the stock market. Ning Feiyang tried his best to keep his tone calm and steady.
Xiao Yifeng finally withdrew his gaze and cast it on his son-in-law's face.
"Flying. Think about it again, what would an investment expert who came back from abroad think? Where will he start? Where will he create opportunities? Child, an entrepreneur is to think about the crisis first, and then calculate the gains and losses. Xiao Yifeng's tone was contemplative, and his expression was also thinking.
Ning Feiyang was touched by his father-in-law's words, and he had to think back to Lu Kaiwen who was demonstrating to him, to recall his contemptuous tone, and to recall the arrogance when he made a provocation.
Was that his whim-of-the-moment arrogance?
Would he do the opposite of himself for the sake of that girl?
Ning Feiyang searched the bits and pieces of Lu Kaiwen in his memory, and searched the bits and pieces of that girl. Searching for bits and pieces of yourself.
The old man's words entangled everything together. It's not that I haven't thought about the dangers that these entanglements may bring, but I've been working hard. Strive for restraint, strive for it, and work hard to reconcile.
Ning Feiyang finally closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair to enter a state of meditation.
Distractions need to be sorted out, and the mind needs to be at peace.
Xiao Zhufang, who was sitting across the table, was also whispering to Xiao Wei beside him, and unlike the people opposite, their movements were completely cautious and secretive.
"Xiao Wei, I've read that document carefully. Everything else is fine, but the terms regarding the property security of the directors are puzzling. Xiao Zhufang was almost attached to his cousin's ear.
Xiao Wei's expression suddenly became serious.
"yes. I also saw this one and asked you to check it. You are an expert in finance, help me analyze and analyze. Why would a security over the property be requested. What is a suitable property. Xiao Wei had a hint of eagerness.
"Property may be all immovable property and securities. As for why the guarantee is made, this is common abroad. This clause allows the directors to maintain self-discipline and maintain a certain degree of social acceptance. What is strange to me is that Kevin Lu knows your situation, why did he propose this clause? Xiao Zhufang tried to explain her point of view as clearly as possible in the chaotic environment.
Xiao Wei's expression changed with his cousin's explanation.
"What do you mean ... It is true that we do not have a property guarantee that we can hand on. Just had some money, and the house was just right to live in. They won't even stare at this property. Xiao Wei was confused.
"Huh. Look at your little bit of interest. Do you think Kevin Lu is so bold? The corners of Xiao Zhufang's mouth raised.
Xiao Wei laughed awkwardly. His smile quickly faded.
"Sister. So what do you think of this clause? Xiao Wei soon fell into his own confusion again.
"What can I think? I just think the timing chosen by Kevin Lu is very interesting. Xiao Zhufang looked at Ning Feiyang opposite for a moment.
Xiao Wei also followed his cousin's gaze to the opposite side.
Ning Feiyang was still in a posture of closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Cousin, I see. This clause is for our equity. Xiao Wei poured out his confusion very smoothly.
"Shut up! Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth. Xiao Zhufang's tone changed suddenly.
Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, he was not prepared.
"Isn't that so? Your analysis is already obvious. Don't you want him to know? Xiao Wei waved his face to the opposite side.
"You. This is a sensitive matter, and analysis can only be analysis. You just got Kevin Lu's weight, and he's still testing you. You have to be cautious. Xiao Zhufang reattached his cousin's ear.
"Sister, thank you for the reminder. Now I'm more interested. Xiao Wei chuckled.
Xiao Zhufang frowned, she could hear the surprise in her cousin's tone.
"Don't sell it, don't you want to ask me, why am I the way I am now?" Xiao Zhufang quickly relaxed.
Xiao Wei nodded, he didn't want to speak.
"I figured it out recently as well. I've seen all the changes since you followed Kevin Lu. You and I are both representatives of the Xiao family, and your success is also our success. We are just guessing whether Lu Kaiwen is for equity, but his strength is there, and if he covets the company's equity, no one can stop him. Now that Su Qing has the matter, the relationship between Lu Kaiwen and Ning Feiyang is more complicated. We can only observe from the sidelines, not participate in the equity battle between them. What we can do is to watch Lingyun Company stabilize. As long as the company is not chaotic, we remain neutral. Xiao Zhufang made a decision.
The corners of Xiao Wei's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Sister, is it that serious? Mr. Lu's controlling position in relation to his brother-in-law? Xiao Wei couldn't hold back his surprise any longer.
"Maybe that's the best ending. Hopefully this is just my thoughts. But... Su Qing. Xiao Zhufang's thinking fell into discontinuity and confusion.
Xiao Wei was also nervous and confused with his cousin's self-talk.
Lu Kaiwen and the girl were connected, Lu Kaiwen cared for her, and Lu Kevin was nervous about her. Lu Kaiwen for her once undisguised arrogance.
Everything seemed to clash with the celebratory atmosphere in front of us.
Everything seems to be connected to the big event of going public.
The festive mood of celebration is being drained by a trace.
The joy of becoming a director of an automotive group faded suddenly.
Xiao Wei picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp.
With the rising heat and spiciness, Xiao Wei made his decision fiercely.
