Today is the 80th birthday of the old lady of the Ye family!

This is also the most important day for the Ye family in recent years!

The entire Ye family villa is full of lights and is very lively.

In order to prepare for this birthday banquet, the Ye family began to arrange it a week ago, especially Ye Guohui, he didn't sleep well for several days, as the son of the Ye family and the head of the Ye family now, he is even more hands-on, everything must be done personally, and strive to arrange it perfectly according to the old lady's like.

"Over there, the lantern over there is a little higher...... Hey, yes, yes, that's it! ”

"The old lady is more traditional, she likes to hang red lanterns high, this year is her 80th birthday, our family has a total of 80 lanterns to hang, you have counted me carefully, one can not be more, one can not be less!"

"Have you put all the old lady's favorite flowers and plants on the table? Put it in the most prominent position! ”

"By the way, and the kitchen, send me the menu for tonight's birthday party, I'm going to make sure one last time! Remember, you can't make a mistake about the order of serving, all the guests who come tonight are VIPs, and our Ye family, as one of the four major families, can't lose their dignity! Ye Guohui stood in the front hall, sweating profusely.

In another hour, the front hall will be used as a meeting room to welcome the distinguished guests from all walks of life in Nandu who come to participate in the birthday banquet!

So, don't be sloppy!

Of course, when it comes to guests, Ye Guohui can't help frowning.

Heart said: It's really strange, it's been half a month, I go out to drink and socialize every day, I don't hesitate to condescend, and even went to ask for some people whose identities don't match me at all.

However, until now, nothing has been found, and no one is willing to come to the door! It seems that the Ye family is some kind of flood beast, as soon as they heard this name, their faces immediately changed greatly, and they found all kinds of excuses to shirk and refuse to come.

But if it's true that they don't want to see the Ye family, how did I hear that the second brother Ye Guolin's side has already invited more than 100 guests, and even the invitations are not enough to be sent, and they have to run to print them overnight......

Thinking of this, Ye Guohui was even more worried, and couldn't help but sigh.

Alas!

After all, in order to maintain the face of the Ye family and to stimulate the invitation of more guests to the birthday banquet, on the family day not long ago, Ye Guohui once let go:

On the old lady's 80th birthday, whoever called the guests came with a big head and a heavy weight, which gave the Ye family a face, so he would be the successor! Give him all the family business!

This is really a helpless move!

Originally, he also hoped that his eldest daughter Ye Hong would be able to invite some heavyweight guests by taking advantage of her status as the vice chairman of the Zhao Group, but now it seems that ......

Alas, what can I do now? Is it really like this, watching his hard work for so many years, as well as the entire family business of the Ye family, all fall into the hands of the second brother and his two sons?

Thinking of this, Ye Guohui naturally felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

At this time, Ye Hong came back from outside by car.

"Daughter, what's going on, is anyone in the Zhao Group willing to come?" Ye Guohui hurriedly went up and asked.

Ye Hong shook her head helplessly.

"No, last Monday, the company experienced a huge personnel change, almost all the people in the Ouyang family were expelled from the company, and the new ones were all from the second-tier family, many of whom I had never seen before, and I didn't know them at all, so I ......"

"Dad, you scold me, am I useless, for so many days, I haven't even invited anyone yet!"

Originally, Ye Guohui was anxious, and when he heard this, he was even more angry.

But when she saw her daughter's haggard face, she remembered that it was not easy for her these days, and a girl had to bear so much pressure.

So, he couldn't bear to accuse his daughter anymore, so he just patted her on the shoulder,

"It's okay, it's okay, Dad doesn't blame you, these things should have been borne by me, the head of the family...... Thank you for your hard work, daughter, go take a break and wash your face! Ye Guohui said.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Xueren, why didn't he come back with you?"

This Xiao Xue is talking about Ye Hong's husband, Xue Jiayang, he is a university professor, a typical intellectual, rich in learning, but his connections and influence are limited.

"He went to invite the people in their family, although the Xue family is not ranked in the south, but it is also a wealthy family, call to make up the number of people, it is good to be lively!" Ye Hong said.

"Okay then......" Ye Guohui didn't have much hope.

Seeing his father's expression, Ye Hong's heart became even more uncomfortable.

But what else could she do? All the relationships that I can use and the people I can fight for have all been tried, but they all ended in failure.

Could this really be providence?

Walking inside, passing through the front hall, there is the banquet hall, and here is the venue for tonight's birthday banquet.

The banquet hall has been completely renovated, with a red carpet and birthday banners, and colorful ribbons floating in the sky.

At this time, Ye Yuhan ran over excitedly.

"Sister, you're back! Look at your sad face, hehe, let me tell you good news! ”

"Just now, I have been on the phone with Pei Qi, and she promised that she will definitely bring her grandfather to the birthday banquet tonight!"

"The Chen family, as the leader of the second-tier family, and in addition, Chen Youdao recently served as the deputy manager of the personnel department of the Zhao Group, which can be said to have greatly increased his influence! If they can come to the birthday banquet, I believe that other second-tier families will also flock to it! When the time comes, we will have the capital to compete with the second uncle! ”

But after saying this, Ye Hong's expression did not improve at all, and he was still very dignified.

"It's useless, Yuhan, you are too optimistic about things, unless Chen Jiasan agrees in person, otherwise, it is useless!"

"Because, the Chen family will not come at all, and besides, I guess, now Chen Jiasan is severely reprimanding your good sister Chen Peiqi! It is estimated that it won't be long before she will call and say that her grandfather has something to do today and can't come......" Ye Hong said.

"Huh? No way? Ye Yuhan opened his mouth wide and didn't believe it at all.

However, before she could finish her exclamation, Chen Peiqi's phone call really came back.

"I'm sorry Yuhan, my grandfather has something to do today, and he has to go to the field to deal with a very important matter, and it is estimated that he will have to come back tomorrow! We can't go tonight, I'm really sorry, I'll invite you to dinner another day to make amends, hang up first......"

After speaking, before Ye Yuhan could speak, the phone hung up.

At this time, Ye Yuhan was stunned.

She was stunned in place, she didn't expect that things would develop like this.

"Why, how can this be? Before, didn't Peggy pat her chest and promise me, saying that the Chen family would definitely come, and that her grandfather was at home all day today, very idle, why did she suddenly have something to go to another place......" Ye Yuhan said in surprise.

"Alas, you stupid girl, let me tell you why!"

Ye Hong smiled bitterly, and then continued:

"Because, in addition to our Ye family, the other three families, Murong, Ouyang and the Lin family, they are all on the side of the second uncle, and the second uncle has also privately made some kind of agreement with them, if the second uncle can win and succeed in becoming the head of the Ye family, he will promise them a lot of benefits......"

"Now, three of the four major families have already supported the second uncle, and the second uncle can be said to be a sure winner this time! No matter who we call, we will definitely lose! ”

"So, Yuhan, now you understand, right? The rest of the people, knowing that it is useless to come, are hitting stones with eggs, so in this case, who will touch this mold? Who will offend Ye Guolin, the future head of the Ye family, in order to help us? ”

"You, just wait and see, today, not only the Chen family, no one will come, even your brother-in-law, their Xue family, and our in-laws will find all kinds of excuses not to be there!"

"Alas, let's accept the reality!"
