Chapter 108: Mai Tian's Birthday Party (Part II)
√
As Moses and the sea serpent got out of the car, I whispered to Moses, "That's McSweet's father." ”
How clever Moses was, he looked over and saw the problem: "Your father-in-law doesn't look very good." ”
"yes, you have to think of a way, I don't want to make Mai Tian sad." I said helplessly.
Moses nodded, took out a mobile phone and sent a text message: The rivers and lakes are in an emergency, come to support quickly - Haitian Restaurant. The text message was twelve words like that, and I don't know who he sent it to. After sending it, he smiled at me: "Hurry up and pick up Mai Tian and get out of the car, let's go in." ”
I hurriedly ran back and opened the car door to ask Mai Tian to get out of the car. Then I didn't hesitate to take Mai Tian's hand and walked towards the uncle.
Mai Tian was happy to see it, but a little shy. A few young men saw me so bold, and their eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. I pretended not to see it, and walked happily towards my uncle.
"Uncle Mai, hello." I walked up to my uncle and kept my tone as steady as possible, as if I was greeting each other.
"Good, good. Young man, you ......" Uncle Mai smiled and nodded, but he didn't know my name yet.
"My name is Yuan, this is Xiang Feng, this is the sea snake." I hurriedly introduced.
"Please come in, please come in!" The uncle looked at us carefully, and his face was still smiling, and invited us into the hotel.
Moses didn't go in with us, he smiled and reached out to untie his uncle's tie, re-tie it, and straighten his clothes.
"Uncle Mai, that's how you look energetic." With that, he walked in.
Uncle Mai looked around and made sure that there was no one else before he hurriedly walked in. When passing by the hall, he looked carefully in the mirror, only to see that the tie was tied into a beautiful oblique square, thinking about the young people now, Uncle Mai shook his head with a helpless smile, and walked into the private room he had already booked.
In this luxurious private room, it is designed to be in the shape of a half-air, with two walls, both sides open to the beach, and you can walk directly to the beach to play.
There are several long tables with snacks and drinks on top of the private rooms, and the two main tables have not yet been served. On the other side is a row of chefs, with a special stove and utensils in front of them, as if they are going to cook seafood on the spot. Most of the fresh seafood does not need to be seasoned too much, and it only needs to be cooked simply. But it's such a simple step, but not every chef can master it well, especially testing the skills of chefs......
The people in the room were divided into two groups, the elders in a bunch and the ours in a bunch. I saw Uncle Mai constantly laughing, circling, and toasting between everyone. They were talking about business with each other, and few people talked to Uncle Mai, as if they were just coming to this occasion to make friends and discuss business. Among all the people, only Uncle Mai was wearing a suit and tie, and the people around him were all dressed casually, which made Uncle Mai look like a waiter.
Most of us on our side ignored us, they were gathering together to discuss their own topics.
"I'm going to Japan next week to shop for groceries, I heard that the latest version of Gucci there is going to be released, I have to grab one, who's going with me?"
"I, I, Sister Lin, let's go together."
"Count me in, I've been using my Hermes for two weeks, and it's time to change it."
Most of the girls talk about this kind of topic.
The boys all talk about famous cars and watches. As we talked, someone finally "spotted" us and walked over.
"What do you call this friend?" The fat man named Delong said to me before.
"Original." I replied.
"Original...... What a name for the soil. His smile made no secret of his superiority.
"Is your surname Qi?" Moses stepped forward and asked.
"Moses, this is the son of Qi of Qitian Logistics." McSweet was introduced to Moses.
Qitian Logistics is one of the best companies in Haibei City, Qi Delong smiled proudly. On the other side, there was a fat man with a beer belly with the same lewd smile as he was, and that one was probably his father.
"Do you have a younger brother named Dongqiang?" Moses continued to ask, a look of surprise.
"yes, you've heard of us too?" Qi Delong asked happily.
"I've heard of it too much, Qi Delong is strong." Moses laughed.
The sea snake and I couldn't help but laugh, this one really knows how to name.
"Huh? It turns out that what watch are you wearing? "A tall, thin man spotted the watch on my wrist.
"Oh, there's no brand......" I honestly said, and my watch has the initials of my name, the letters Y.L, which is a special hiking watch made to order in Switzerland.
He proudly stretched out his hand in front of me: "Look, how is my watch?" Just got it. ”
He was wearing a piece of Rolex, which was still pure gold, and it was glittering gold, and if it was in the game, how could this be a gold equipment......
"Not bad, not bad." I complimented.
"Alas, wheat sweet. It's not that I'm talking about you, it's rare for you to have a birthday, and you might as well hold a coming-of-age ceremony or something, and this kind of party is too informal. A beautiful woman walked up to Mai Tian and said to her, holding a glass of red wine in her hand.
Hearing this, everyone's topic turned to the coming-of-age ceremony again, and everyone began to show off how cumbersome and grand their coming-of-age ceremony was. As I listened, Moses and the serpent kept snickering. Today's nouveau riche and the rich like to imitate the aristocracy and hold a large-scale coming-of-age ceremony for their children. It's a pity that they don't know about those complicated coming-of-age ceremonies, and they are just family habits that have evolved from those nobles. The real family is hidden in the city, such as the Xiang family and the Hai family, and there is no strictly regulated coming-of-age ceremony at all. I can even see that in the future, when the sea snake is eighteen years old, Uncle Hai will throw him a harpoon and shout to him, "Son, you are eighteen years old!" Go, go down to the sea and catch a shark and come up......"
On my birthday, I only received a phone call from my father: "Son, you are an adult, according to the family rules, don't enter the house for two years." With that, my father hung up the phone, leaving me happy to look at the game pod with posters in the room......
"Oh, the coming-of-age ceremony is really annoying, last year when I was an adult, I stood for more than three hours, listening to the ......blessings of the elders," said one girl with a bright face.
"Yes, yes, in fact, it's better for a family like Mai Tian, there aren't so many rules......" Another beautiful woman agreed, looking very envious of Mai Tian, in fact, she wished that everyone would envy her.
Mai Tian's forehead was already oozing with sweat, and I could see that she hated such an occasion very much, but there was no way, Uncle Mai also wanted to take this opportunity to have a relationship with those bosses in Haibei City. I gently pulled Mai Tian aside and talked to Mai Tian alone. Moses and the sea serpent stood by and enthusiastically stepped forward to meet the sight of someone coming.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Zhang is here." The door of the box was opened, and the manager of the hotel said to everyone with a spring breeze on his face.
Mr. Zhang? Which Mr. Zhang?
An old man in formal attire and leather shoes walked into the box, and everyone quieted down after a soft shout. This is the richest man in Asia and the leader of the Chinese business community, Mr. Zhang Tianqiao and Mr. Zhang. He is known to everyone, and his prestige in the business world is the same as that of Li Ka-shing in Hong Kong back then.
Although the people present were also wealthy businessmen with names and surnames in Haibei City, they usually didn't even see Mr. Zhang's face. Now that Zhang Lao is here, who invited this big Buddha? Everyone was constantly suspicious, and Uncle Mai also opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Moses rejoiced at me, and it seemed that our helpers had arrived.
"Elder Zhang, are you here? Welcome, welcome ......" A fat man present who thought he had the highest status and the heaviest weight hurriedly welcomed.
Zhang Lao glanced at him and didn't speak, he looked around the audience, and his eyes lit up and he found the tie on Uncle Mai's body. He walked towards Uncle Mai, and stretched out his right hand with a distance of more than a dozen steps. Uncle Mai was stunned on the spot, and a person next to him hurriedly touched him with his elbow, and he suddenly stretched out his right hand.
Zhang Lao's hand and Uncle Mai's hand were tightly clasped together.
"Elder Zhang, hello...... you" Uncle Mai said excitedly.
"What kind of party is it today?" Zhang Lao asked with a smile.
"It's the little girl's birthday...... Uncle Mai grabbed Zhang Lao's hand and forgot to let go, and tears of emotion almost flowed out.
Seeing the embarrassed Uncle Mai, we hurriedly walked over, and Moses opened his mouth and shouted: "Uncle Zhang, you are here~~"
"Xiang Gongzi, I didn't rush over after receiving your text message." Zhang Lao smiled at Moses. But he was wondering in his heart, why did Xiang Gongzi come to such an occasion, and why did this seemingly ordinary businessman wear a family knot on his tie?
"Uncle Zhang, let me introduce it to you, this is Uncle Mai, this is my friend Mai Tian, her birthday today, these two, hehe, I don't need to say it." Moses introduced Zhang Lao one by one. Zhang Lao is also a person who has lived in the business world for a long time, and he understands what is going on in a blink of an eye, and his feelings are Xiang Gongzi's friend.
When he saw the sea snake, he asked with a smile: "This is the sea boy, is Mr. Hai in good health?" ”
The sea snake nodded, extremely depressed in his heart, everyone asked about their old man, the old man is so strong, if he is not in good health, then there are still healthy people in the world.
"This is Mai Tian......" Zhang Lao looked at the ancient coin hanging around Mai Tian's neck, and suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and his speech was a little trembling. He hurriedly looked at me beside Mai Tian and asked softly, "Is this the original son?" ”
Zhang Lao's voice suddenly became respectful, making everyone feel confused, is there anyone else Zhang Lao has to treat respectfully?
I hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Zhang~~"
Even the predators who are very familiar with Zhang Lao in the business world, when they see Zhang Lao, they have to call Zhang Lao "Uncle Zhang", and several of our juniors even call Zhang Lao directly Uncle Zhang, the strange thing is that Zhang Lao did not feel lost when Moses called him, and seemed to be familiar with Moses's name for him. And when I also called Uncle Zhang, Zhang Lao's face actually showed a flattered look.
"Yuan Gongzi, fortunately, I will be lucky, the old man can be regarded as a person who has seen the original family." Mr. Zhang shook my hand excitedly, and the audience was in an uproar. Moses was smiling at me on the side, and I kept scolding Moses in my heart, who to invite to support the scene, and invited the Zhang family to come, and my father knew about me again.
But now this scene has to go on, in order to let everyone not look down on Mai Tian's family, I smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, today is just my girlfriend's birthday, and our juniors are playing together." I didn't expect to alarm you. ”
I deliberately said my girlfriend in front of everyone, and I noticed that Delong and the tall skinny man's mouths were opening wider and wider, and the others were looking at me and Maitian in a daze. And Zhang Lao also completely understood what was going on, he looked at the family knot on Uncle Mai's tie again, and began to envy Uncle Mai in his heart.
"Yuan Gongzi is polite, it's my honor to come here, and I have to thank Xiang Gongzi for giving me this opportunity." Zhang Lao said to Moses.
"Uncle Zhang, Mai Tian's birthday, don't you mean it?" Moses smiled evilly and gave Zhang Lao a problem.
Zhang Lao thought for a while, took out a golden pen from his pocket, and shouted softly. Everyone in the business community present recognized that this was Mr. Zhang's favorite pen, which he had always used when signing various important documents. Mr. Zhang solemnly sent the pen to Mai Tian: "Mai Tian, Uncle Zhang wishes you a happy birthday, and I also wish you and Yuan Gongzi a happy and happy love." ”
Mai Tian looked at me shyly, and I whispered, "This is a kindness from Zhang Lao, take it." ”
Mai Tian nodded, took the golden pen and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang." ”
Zhang Lao laughed, everyone applauded, and I was also excited to see Uncle Mai on the side. Seeing Uncle Mai, I hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Mai is also in business, there must be a lot of common language between you, you talk slowly, let's go and play." ”
Zhang Lao nodded, turned to Uncle Mai and smiled: "Mr. Mai, congratulations, it is really a great blessing in life to have such a smart, beautiful and lovely daughter." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang......" Uncle Mai said quickly.
"Don't, don't call me Zhang Lao, you might as well call me Lao Zhang." Zhang Lao hurriedly said.
Everyone said, "Huh? When did Mr. Zhang become so approachable. Uncle Mai also reacted, his daughter called Uncle Zhang, and now Mr. Zhang and himself are equals. So he called tentatively: "Mr. Zhang? ”
"Well, Mr. Mai, what kind of business do you have? I'd love to work with you. Zhang Lao handed over a business card as he spoke. This old Zhang didn't even know what Uncle Mai was doing business, so he directly expressed his desire to cooperate with Uncle Mai. This made everyone dumbfounded, could it be that Zhang Lao wanted to help the Mai family? Only Zhang Lao knew very well in his heart that this was not helping the Mai family, if the Mai family cooperated with him, it was they helping himself.
Mr. Mai also hurriedly took out his business card and handed it to Mr. Zhang, at this time, the chef shouted and asked, "Mr. Mai, can you serve the food?" ”
Uncle Mai looked at Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "Let's sit down and talk slowly!" ”
Everyone humbled each other to take their seats, and we all found our seats to sit down.
What is certain is that Mr. Zhang, whom Moses invited, did save the game, and now everyone looks at Uncle Mai as respectfully as they look at Mr. Zhang. The only people present were Uncle Mai and Zhang Lao, who were wearing suits and sitting in the center, and the others were embarrassed to pull their clothes, feeling that they had become dirt buns in front of these two......
On our side, they weren't discussing any nonsense, everyone looked at each other awkwardly and didn't speak.
Moses and the sea serpent went out surfing. I also grabbed McSweet and sneaked out of the room and out onto the beach.
At this time, those rich children began to whisper about the mysterious Moses sea serpent and me. They can't figure out what kind of people we really are and what kind of identities we have......
