Chapter 122: The Engagement Banquet
It was a grand engagement banquet, and the scene was far more than any wedding Han Yi had ever seen.
Just like Han Yi thought, this is not just the engagement banquet between Qiu Lang and Keiko, it is the first appearance of Old Man Qiu after surgery, and it is more like a strategic deployment in the business field. He took advantage of Qiu Lang's engagement to support his dying body, wanting to pave the way for his son Qiu Lang in the future.
He is afraid that when his time comes, Qiu Lang will be kicked out of the management of the group he worked so hard to create, lose his voice and decision-making power, and decades of hard work will become a wedding dress for others.
The engagement venue was set in the castle-style villa of Mr. Qiu, and half of the guests were invited by Mr. Qiu, most of them were tycoons in their business circles, as well as some well-known lawyers, and the other half were Qiu Lang's friends and business partners.
Han Yi was wearing the formal dress that Qiu Lang and Keiko tailored for him, and he still looked very professional and handsome, like a handsome president. He helped Old Man Qiu out of the room on the first floor slowly, and Lao Li followed closely behind. The guests came forward to greet Mr. Qiu's health and congratulate Qiu Lang on his engagement.
At noon, after the guests arrived, the master of ceremonies made a speech, announcing the official start of the engagement banquet, and everyone's eyes were on the couple who were about to come down from the second floor. It's just that Han Yi hasn't seen Bai Xue since he arrived here from the hotel in the morning, and has been looking for it in the crowd.
"How? Is it beautiful? Keiko held Qiu Lang's palm and looked at him nervously.
Qiu Lang put her hand around his elbow, "It's beautiful! β
Keiko is dressed in a white off-the-shoulder wedding dress, embroidered with light blue flowers on her chest, and embellishments of pearls, which is particularly beautiful, and Qiu Lang is a dark blue suit.
Fu Bo, Nuan Nuan, Feng Zhiyao, and Han Min looked at them with envious eyes at the bottom of the stairs. Warm red bridesmaid dresses, Han Min's light blue bridesmaid dresses, Fu Bo and Feng Zhiyao are all black suits.
Qiu Lang looked in the direction of Old Man Qiu and Han Yi, Han Yi gave a thumbs up and smiled, as if to say, "Well done!" β
When they walked down, Han Yi helped Old Man Qiu to walk into the crowd, and as the father of the groom, he delivered a wedding speech.
"Today is the wedding day for my son Qiu Lang and Miss Cheng Huizi, and I would like to express my warmest welcome and heartfelt thanks to all of you for coming from afar! As a father, I am very happy. From now on, I hope they can respect, love, understand and help each other, and use their wisdom and hard work to create their own beautiful futureΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
When Old Man Qiu was speaking, Han Yi was still looking around, thinking, "What about people? Where are you, Snow White? β
"Today, I would like to announce not only to Qiu Lang, but also to all friends and partners, I will give 40% of the shares held by the group as a gift to the dog Qiu Lang, who will occupy it
18% of the group's shares have entered the board of directors, and I hope you will give more advice in the future! β
Even so, Mr. Qiu is still the largest shareholder of the group, and Qiu Lang is the third largest shareholder. The second largest shareholder accounts for 20%, and the remaining 35% is in the hands of other shareholders. This was his plan for a rainy day, because after his illness, he had already realized that the second largest shareholder had secretly bought shares in other people's hands, so he had to put Chu Lang on the board of directors now, and at the same time not let people suspect his illness.
Just as Qiu Lang and Keiko were reading their engagement vows, Han Yi saw Bai Xue standing on the second floor and looking down.
Wearing a long skirt, a black V-neck on the upper body, and a gradient color change on the lower skirt, it is unusual, both playful and sexy, but it doesn't look so happy. It was Keiko's big day, and it was impossible not to rejoice for her, apparently she had seen those photos and unconfirmed news.
After Qiu Lang and Keiko exchanged rings, opened champagne, and cut the engagement cake, they began to enjoy lunch.
Han Yi's task today is to accompany Old Man Qiu at all times, so he can't leave at will to ask Bai Xue what happened, or to explain to her.
When everyone was dining and drinking to celebrate, Han Yi and Qiu Lang followed Old Man Qiu to the study, greeted and got to know some of his old friends, and talked for a long time. Even though Han Yi was absent-minded, he was still a careful listener and didn't dare to make any omissions.
Old Man Qiu said to Han Yi and Qiu Lang: "You two go out to accompany your friends, and I will catch up with you uncles." β
Han Yi glanced at Uncle Li very reassured, as if he was asking for his opinion, only to see Uncle Li wave his hand slightly, signaling him to leave with confidence.
"Do you know that the old man asked you to go back to work?" Han Yi and Qiu Lang walked side by side, and asked casually out of curiosity.
"He asked for my opinion, I definitely didn't want to go back if it was before, since he had surgery, we have a lot better, and seeing that he is now old, I should come back to help him." Later, he and Keiko developed in Chengdu, but it was inevitable that they would run all over the country. β
Since Qiu Lang and Han Yi Fubo had a hangover overnight, they told a lot of suppressed words in their hearts, and slowly began to understand his father. Many times it was he who rejected his father's kindness, not that he didn't care about him.
The two of them each took a glass of champagne, walked to the backyard where there was no one and sat down, talking about each other's feelings, about career, about love, about family.
"What are you doing? Come here and be lazy, go and entertain the guests! Keiko crept up behind them, grabbed one ear with one hand, and pulled the two men who were sitting on the stairs up.
"Okay, let go!" Qiu Lang begged for mercy.
But Han Yi shook it off easily, and said, "Why are you girls so violent, can't you talk well!" Those who move their hands and feet are about to become wives, and they are still like this! β
"I haven't settled accounts with you yet! What did you do with the snow
οΌ Last night was fine, but this morning she was sullen, didn't say a word, and pretended to laugh even though she couldn't laugh, and I was embarrassed to tear her down. Do you have any contradictions? β
Keiko is still the identity of the eldest sister, reprimanding Han Yi.
"She can't see that, does she?" Qiu Lang asked cautiously. Apparently he asked this on purpose, because he didn't want to hide it from Keiko, and besides, it wouldn't be long before she would find out.
Keiko basically doesn't bother about anything in the company these days, and is focused on her life's work, so she doesn't know anything about these things.
"What's the news?"
Han Yi also knew that there was nothing to hide, and with a generous look of death, he turned around and left, and said, "You guys talk, I'll go find Bai Xue." β
"What are you hiding from me?" Keiko asked with some eagerness.
I thought: On the big day, don't let me save snacks!
Qiu Lang told the truth what he knew, and Keiko thought about why Li Jia went back in such a hurry.
"It's definitely for the money! This Hao Yali is too bad! We were all so good to her, and we actually conspired with that old thing to design Han Yi. Huizi was furious, and she couldn't wait to go to Lao Liu and Hao Yali to settle accounts immediately.
But when he was engaged, he was even more angry and ruined, looking like he was going to eat people.
"Don't be angry, it's our engagement day. It's just this kind of thing for a while, and no one will remember it. If there is really no way, just spend some money, don't be angry! Qiu Lang can see it, but he thinks about the gains and losses of interests, and does not get to the point.
"With his personality, even if he loses both, he won't give them a penny, and let them succeed in their tricks. What's more, the important thing now is that he and Bai Xue may have to fight or separate again as before. After thinking about it, Keiko should calm down this kind of thing first, and don't let the original photos flow out.
An engagement banquet seems to be pleasant and lively, but each has its own hardships and sorrows. Perhaps, knowing nothing will make the day happy and feel the atmosphere of happiness.
It seems that Han Yi is the one who knows the most and bears the most. first learned that Old Man Qiu was a candle in the wind, and the bad news that time was running out, and then a scandal was exposed. He couldn't tell Qiu Lang, and he didn't know how to explain it to Bai Xue.
The wine and food, laughter, and beautiful music all seem to have nothing to do with Han Yi, all of which reflect his tiredness and helplessness.
"Brother, Sister Xue'er asked you to go to the leftmost room on the third floor to find her."
When Han Yi just wanted to go down from the second floor, he met Han Min wearing high heels and carefully holding on to the guardrail of the stairs to come down. Because she basically never wore high heels, she wore a skirt and high heels today, and she couldn't even walk.
"Be careful!" Han Yi walked up a few stairs to help her, "Go to the first floor and stay well, what are you doing when you have nothing to do!" β
"You think I want to! Didn't you see that Sister Cher was upset? But I couldn't show it on this day, so I hid alone. I
I went up and heard her crying outside the door, and I didn't open the door, so let me call you over. Han Min finally walked down, "You go to her, I can do it." β
After Han Yi sent his sister downstairs, he ran up to the third floor to find Bai Xue, as if he was going to take the initiative to accept the trial.
"White snow, open the door." Han Yi knocked on the door a few times and obviously heard the movement on the side of the door.
Bai Xue locked the door behind her back, "That's it!" I ask you, is the person in the photo you? β
She saw the message from her Weibo. During the live broadcast more than three years ago, some fans who played games left her a message on Weibo, asking her if the person in the photo was the boss of Yihui Media. She didn't know, she didn't know if it was true, she didn't know if this person was Han Yi, and she didn't know if she should suspect him.
But the person described in this text is too similar to Han Yi, and the watch is exactly the same as the one she gave him.
It is conceivable that Han Yi has been busy with this matter yesterday, and he has been hiding it from her. Bai Xue wondered if if he hadn't known about it, he wouldn't have told her all the time.
