111 Congratulations; The CEOs’ Surprise
All the relatives and villagers were confused when they saw the cars. They all looked at Lin Tao and Lin Liqiang.
However, how would Lin Tao and Lin Liqiang know what the situation was?
They were also filled with confusion.
“Could it be relatives of Old Man Wang’s family?” someone asked in a low voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people revealed a hint of hesitation.
They were hesitating whether they should go to the Wang family’s house.
Although they did not know the specific models and prices of these cars, they recognized the logo of Mercedes-Benz and BMW in front of the cars.
These… They were all expensive luxury cars!
They were all distinguished guests!
So many important guests!
Creak! Creak!
While some of the villagers were hesitating, the car door slowly opened.
Men and women in suits and leather shoes, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came down one after another.
Among them, the round-faced and good-natured middle-aged man, Wang Zhongde, strode in front of Lin Fan and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Lin.”
More than a month ago, Lin Fan had become the group leader of Qiankun building after gaining majority shares.
In the group, there was Wang Zhongde, the property manager, and the boss of the company who rented the office building.
Yesterday, after Lin Fan found out that his grandfather was going to hold his 70th birthday banquet, he immediately sent out an invitation to the companies in Qiankun building.
The bosses of those companies had long been full of curiosity about the boss of Qiankun building.
Therefore, when they saw the invitation, unless they were out of town or had something urgent, they all rushed over.
After the bosses heard Wang Zhongde’s words, they could not help but secretly size up Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, then introduced, “This is my grandfather.”
“So you’re the birthday boy today, Elder Lin,” Wang Zhongde said immediately. “If Mr. Lin didn’t tell me, I would have thought you were his uncle.”
This sentence was a compliment.
However, it also somewhat contained the truth.
That was because Lin Liqiang’s mental state was good.
In addition, he had just drunk the Medical Water, so he was even more energetic.
At this time, Lin Liqiang, Lin Tao, and the villagers finally understood that the people who came out of the luxury cars were all here to celebrate Lin Liqiang’s birthday, not Wang Yaping’s.
Lin Liqiang could not help but ask, “You are…”
“Look at me. I haven’t introduced myself yet.” Wang Zhongde quickly said, “I’m the property manager of Qiankun building. Elder Lin, I wish you good fortune and longevity!”
As he spoke, he handed over a longevity peach made of pure gold.
Behind Wang Zhongde, a middle-aged man in a black suit handed him a golden lock and said, “I’m the chairman of Ruide Corporation, Liang Feiyang. Elder Lin, I wish you a long and healthy life, and good fortune!”
Beside him, a man in a white shirt handed him a red packet and said, “I’m the chairman of Yonglun Company, Zhuo Jun. Elder Lin, I wish you good health and all the best!”
…
Instantly, a wave of congratulatory sounds rang out.
Everyone’s mouth was half-open when they heard this, and their faces were full of surprise.
When these people got out of their luxury cars, everyone had already guessed that they were of extraordinary status.
However, after hearing their well-wishes and self-introductions, they realized that they were all bosses of companies!
One had to know that there were more than a dozen people who had just come!
In other words, more than a dozen company bosses came to congratulate Lin Liqiang?
It was simply unimaginable!
When the last person’s introduction and blessings were over, Lin Liqiang finally came back to his senses.
He laughed heartily and said, “This is great! Thank you. Please sit down and have some tea. The banquet is about to begin!”
Some of the elders sat down, while some chatted in low voices. Others were quietly observing the surrounding environment.
At first, the bosses did not think much of it.
This was because it seemed to be just an ordinary one-story house in a village.
They could not help but have some doubts in their hearts. Was this really the hometown of the behind-the-scenes boss of Qiankun building?
Was he not a little too ordinary?
At this moment, two bosses heard the sound of people cooking and cutting vegetables. They turned their heads to take a look.
It would have been better if they had not taken a look, but after they did, they could not peel their eyes away.
The three chefs were waving their knives like shadows as they cooked quickly.
How sharp were the eyes of the CEOs?
At a glance, they could tell that the three chefs’ cooking skills were very good. They were probably comparable to the average four-star or even five-star chefs!
This was nothing.
The key point was…
The ingredients they were cooking included top-grade pork, shrimp, and beef… Especially when they saw the logo of Big Pot Market on the bags, the corners of their eyes twitched.
They knew very well how expensive the ingredients in Big Pot Market were.
That was a place known as Market No. 1!
Even they had only been there once or twice.
The dishes of this banquet were all made from Big Pot Market!
How much did these ingredients cost?
Gulp!
The two bosses could not help but swallow their saliva.
Lin Xiaoyao saw that so many people had come to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday. She was also the host, so she should entertain them well.
Generally speaking, if the banquet had not started yet, the guests should be allowed to play cards for entertainment.
Unfortunately, there were no cards in the house.
Lin Xiaoyao’s eyes darted around, and soon, her gaze fell on the jade chess set not far away.
Hence, she quickly walked up to the CEOs with the chess set in her arms and asked, “Do you guys want to play chess?”
A CEO in a black suit was about to wave his hand.
The next moment, his entire body froze, and his eyes were locked on the chess set.
In fact, he was not the only one. Many of the other CEOs were also focused on the chess set.
“It looks like jade?” someone said with uncertainty.
The CEO in a blue shirt who was the closest did not say anything. He reached out with a trembling hand, picked up a chess piece, and looked at it carefully.
After a long while, he said seriously, “It’s jade! Moreover, it’s high-grade jade!”
As soon as he said that, all the bosses around him gasped.
One must know that the company of this blue shirt CEO was in the jewelry industry!
He could be said to be an expert in the appraisal of jewelry and jade. He would definitely not be wrong!
All the bosses present had a certain level of knowledge.
They knew that some people used jade as bracelets, and some people used jade as pendants…
However, this was the first time they had seen someone use jade to make a chess set!
How much would such a set of chess cost?
10 million?
20 million?
…
After buying such a chess set, they should put it in a safe to admire it secretly, right?
However, the owner just took it out and let it be played like a normal chess set?
This was a jade chess set!
If it accidentally fell, how painful would it be?
Whoosh!
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao lost her grip and a chess piece fell from the chessboard to the ground.
