Chapter 14: The Betrothal Feast
In the Gu family's villa, Old Man Gu was enjoying lunch with Xiang Wanqing, but at this time, Old Man Gu looked preoccupied.
Xiang Wanqing noticed it, raised his eyes and asked, "Master, you seem to have something on your mind?" ”
Old man Gu put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Gu Chen will be 30 years old in a few days, and I think it's time to talk to him about his life events." ”
Xiang Wanqing was stunned, he meant that he wanted him and Lin Jiner to hold an engagement banquet on Gu Chen's birthday? Xiang Wanqing couldn't help but feel nervous, but he couldn't say why.
"Yes, but I think it's better to discuss it with Gu Chen first." Xiang Wanqing's tone was calm.
"Well, I see that the relationship between you and Gu Chen seems to have eased a lot recently, so I will leave this matter to you."
Xiang Wanqing wanted to refuse, but he thought that he had no reason to shirk it.
"Yes, sir."
Old man Gu continued to eat with satisfaction.
In the evening, Gu Chen dragged a tired body back to the villa, the things on the company in the past few days made Gu Chen a head two big, during the day he went to L City, where there is a tourist land in the auction for 30 years of management rights, the starting price of 20 billion, originally he paid the bid price of 2.2 billion is already a sure win, but at the time of the transaction, a man raised his card to 2.22 billion, which made Gu Chen, who has always been optimistic about this commercial sector, couldn't help but be surprised, he can compete with Gu's Group He is really not uncommon, But if it's higher than he estimated, the bid is meaningless.
"2.25 billion." Not to be outdone, Gu Chen raised the No. 112 card.
"Mr. Gu's total 2,250,000,000,000,......," the host shouted loudly and hammered once.
The man in the back curled the corners of his lips and smiled evilly, as if he was playing a game, raised his No. 216 beat, and said lazily: "2.26 billion." ”
The host was stunned, but quickly shouted: "Geng's total 2.26 billion once...... 2,260,000,000 twice. After striking the second hammer, Gu Chen also smiled coldly.
"2.3 billion." Gu Chen raised his card and said unhurriedly.
"Mr. Gu, 2.3 billion one-time ......"
"2.31 billion." Plate 216 was raised again.
It seemed that he was going to end up with him, Gu Chen simply shouted out his highest estimate, "2.5 billion." ”
The audience was in an uproar, knowing that this price is already the limit of the value of this land.
Even the host wants to get the deal down quickly.
"Mr. Gu's 2.5 billion once! 2,500,000,000 twice! 2.5 billion ......" When the final hammer was about to be finalized, I saw the No. 216 plate in the crowd raised high again.
"2.7 billion."
The audience boiled.
Gu Chen sank down, it seemed that this land had lost its original value, got up and tidied up his cuffs, and left the scene handsomely.
"2,700,000,000 three times! Deal! Congratulations to Mr. Geng! The host quickly applauded.
But the men in the audience spread their hands indifferently, as if the 2.7 billion was not spent money.
After returning to the villa, Gu Chen sat down on the soft white sofa in the living room a little tiredly, still annoyed by the day's events.
"What's wrong?"
Xiang Wanqing was going to go out for a walk, but as soon as he went downstairs, he saw a listless Gu Chen.
Gu Chen cracked his parched lips, "It's none of your business." But there was no impatience in his tone.
Xiang Wanqing really couldn't figure out what this Gu Chen was thinking, he was approachable for a while and domineering for a while.
"Okay, I just want to tell you that you will be 30 in a few days, and the master plans to hold your and Miss Lin's engagement banquet on that day."
Gu Chen, who was already in a bad mood, instantly stretched his face longer, "Can't I even make my own decisions in this family?" ”
Although Xiang Wanqing knew that Gu Chen was unwilling, she couldn't interfere too much, Lin Jin'er was very hostile to her, and it was the best policy to keep a distance from Gu Chen.
"There are a lot of things in this world that you can't help yourself."
Xiang Wanqing's words seemed to be saying to Gu Chen, and it seemed to be saying to himself.
"Just like you came to my house, did you come to your own house?"
Gu Chen's tone was a little softer, but he still heard a little lonely.
"Maybe, okay, if you're tired, go upstairs early and rest."
After Xiang Wanqing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
In the next week, Xiang Wanqing barely met Gu Chen again, she was busy setting up an engagement banquet in the manor, and Gu Chen seemed to have found a lot of things for himself to do, whether it was a meeting he had on a business trip that he didn't want to go to.
After a busy week, with a gold and white theme, the whole estate was well organized.
Tomorrow is the engagement banquet, and now the outside of the manor is already full of reporters, but the old man Gu ordered that the media should not be allowed to enter the manor to take pictures, and even the guests attending the banquet could not take pictures, but only told the media that a press conference would be held in the Gu Group before the engagement banquet.
And all this is only known to Xiang Wanqing, knowing that this is the protection of Old Man Gu. Of course, that's all for later.
Xiang Wanqing, who was urging the workers to lay the carpet, received a strange call, Xiang Wanqing cleared his throat, and his voice pretended to be a little pinched, "Hello?" ”
"Hello, Miss Xiang, I am Zhong Lele, a private custom employee, you came to our store more than half a month ago to customize the suit has been completed, here you see that it is convenient to come and pick it up?"
Xiang Wanqing's heart tightened every time she saw a strange call, for fear that a terrifying voice would come from inside, so she restored her voice to normal and said, "Well, then I'll come over now." ”
"Okay, Miss Xiang."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Wanqing found Aunt Liu who was still cleaning, "Aunt Liu, I have something to go out here first, please take a look at the things outside." ”
Aunt Liu nodded, "Okay madam, if you have something to do, go and get busy first." ”
After thanking Wanqing, he came to Zhou Haoran, who was looking at the water in the pool in a daze, and touched his head: "Ran Ran, you can play by yourself here first, and you can't get close to the pool." ”
Xiang Wanqing pointed to the blue swimming pool, which was also the thing Zhou Haoran had been told the most since entering the manor.
Zhou Haoran nodded solemnly, "Okay, sister." ”
Zhou Haoran was very obedient to Xiang Wanqing's words, and thought that Zhou Haoran would be very naughty and noisy, but it turned out that he was very quiet, and the only time he would show his child's nature was when he was playing with Lightning.
Xiang Wanqing drove the car out of the underground parking lot and went to Feiyue City, although he experienced the last parking lot incident, but Xiang Wanqing was not afraid at all, but also parked the car in the previous position.
When she came to the high-end private custom store, she was still the beautiful girl from last time.
Zhong Lele stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hello, Ms. Xiang." ”
Xiang Wanqing smiled back: "Hello, I'll pick up the goods." ”
"Okay, Ms. Xiang, please come with me."
Entering the VIP room at the back again, Zhong Lele took out a complete suit and put it on the countertop.
"Miss Xiang, please check it out."
Xiang Wanqing took a closer look and found that its workmanship was very fine.
"Okay, please wrap it up for me."
"Okay, wait a minute."
After getting the clothes, Xiang Wanqing drove back to the manor, and glanced at the clothes in the passenger seat, just so that the old man Gu can wear them tomorrow.
As soon as I returned to the manor, I saw a familiar figure in the late Qing Dynasty, Lin Jiner's slender figure was indeed eye-catching.
At this time, Lin Jiner held Lin Qingfeng and talked with Old Man Gu, and saw that Xiang Wanqing was holding a big bag in his hand, Old Man Gu hurriedly went up to catch it, and Xiang Wanqing also took advantage of the situation to put his hand in the crook of Old Man Gu's arm.
Old man Gu brought Xiang Wanqing to the two of them, "Introduction, this is my wife, Xiang Wanqing." ”
Xiang Wanqing stretched out his hand to Lin Qingfeng generously, and said with a smile: "Hello, Chairman Lin, I have admired my name for a long time." ”
Lin Qingfeng was appreciative of Xiang Wanqing's way of making friends, it seemed that this old man Gu had really picked up a treasure, and his hand was also half-held the right hand stretched out to Wanqing, "Hello, Miss Xiang, I have admired my name for a long time." ”
When he came to Lin Jin'er in a blink of an eye, Xiang Wanqing also looked gentle and humble, as if there had never been any unpleasantness before, "Long time no see, Miss Lin." ”
Lin Jiner didn't want to give her a good face, but now in front of his father and in front of her future father-in-law, she would only smile with her eyebrows and low: "Long time no see." ”
