Chapter 118 Seat, Status
"The old man of the Ye family is here!" Just as Ye Yao relaxed because Lin Feng was not angry, and was chatting with Lin Feng in a word, a voice suddenly sounded, and suddenly the scene became quiet.
Under everyone's gaze, the old man of the Ye family appeared in everyone's eyes, accompanied by Ye Xinghua and Ye Xingwen.
The old man is already seventy years old, but he looks older than his actual age. Obviously, working hard for state affairs is indeed a very hard thing. If it weren't for being unable to do so, I'm afraid the old man of the Ye family wouldn't be so willing to retreat like this before his children grow up.
After Ye Xingwen and Ye Xinghua and the other two sat down, they were eager to try, but did not take action. Until Zhou Jiaming took the lead and said to Ye Guoqiang: "Brother Ye, I wish you good health and a long life here first.
""Haha, you're welcome. It's really not easy for me to be able to get to where I am at this age. Even I was able to rely on my family background to get a little faster than you.
"Ye Guoqiang spoke with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.
"Brother is modest.
"Zhou Jiaming also spoke, and did not express his compassion in his heart on his face because of Ye Guoqiang's words. After all, it is quite difficult for him to go further. He needs to rely on the power of the Ye family, and the possibility of success is greater.
At this time, at Zhou Jiaming's instructions, Zhou Cheng took out a gift box of half a meter long and seven or eight centimeters wide framed with gold edges, and then spoke respectfully: "Uncle Ye, I wish you good fortune as the East China Sea and longevity as the South Mountain. This is my gift to you.
""I have already said that I will not accept gifts for this birthday party.
"Ye Guoqiang suddenly spoke with an extremely serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng didn't know how to respond, so Zhou Jiaming said, "Brother, this is just their wish."
"Zhou Jianhui, who was standing by, also hurriedly said, "Yes, old man, I heard that you like calligraphy and paintings. These are the original works of Wang Xianzhi that we had collected after we had accidentally done. We don't know how to appreciate them. It's the most suitable place for you.
"The father and son have put a lot of effort into Ye Guoqiang's birthday party this time. If the gift they gave is rejected, the possibility of their successful proposal will be reduced a lot.
They took a short hand and a soft mouth. They had really spent a lot of effort to prepare such a gift in a hurry. After all, such authentic works are mostly in the hands of calligraphy and painting collectors. Once collected, it is difficult to take them out.
Zhou Jianhui was still very confident about the original calligraphy of Wang Xianzhi that he gave him.
Sure enough, as Zhou Jianhui's words fell, Ye Guoqiang's eyes lit up. This was indeed a great attraction for him who likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings.
Although Wang Xianzhi could not compare with his father, Wang Xizhi, in terms of fame and calligraphy achievements, he could be called "Little Saint" and even called the Wang family's two saints. It is conceivable that Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy is definitely a great man, but it was covered up by Wang Xizhi.
But no matter what, the collection value of Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy and paintings is definitely very high. After all, there are very few works left by Wang Xizhi, most of which are copied forged works. Compared with the original works, the original works are more important.
"The rules cannot be broken. Since I said I would not accept gifts, I would not accept them.
"After taking a look at the box in Zhou Cheng's hand, Ye Guoqiang finally resisted the temptation. In order to avoid being unable to resist the temptation, he simply didn't bother to take a look and looked elsewhere. For a moment, the scene was a little awkward.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianhui couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Zhou Cheng was helpless, but he didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Zhou Jiaming's expression quickly returned to normal and exclaimed: "Brother is so noble and worthy of my study!" Just such an understatement directly mentioned the embarrassment in it, and the scene became lively again.
Afterwards, other guests also began to pay tribute to Mr. Ye and said congratulations, but they were tactful and did not give gifts or other things. After all, even the gifts given by the Zhou father and son were directly rejected. Isn’t they asking for it if they give gifts again?
Except for Song Zihan, the city leader, the old man of the Ye family praised him, the others nodded lightly, as a response. However, no one felt dissatisfied, and it was natural.
As for juniors like Sun Yang, they don’t even have the qualifications to celebrate their birthdays in person. This also makes other young people full of envy, jealousy and hatred for Zhou Cheng, the only young generation qualified to celebrate his birthday to Mr. Ye in person.
Seeing that everyone who celebrated their birthday had already congratulated them, the old man of the Ye family did not say anything, but continued to wait for something. In this regard, everyone couldn't help but wonder that everyone had already celebrated their birthday and was not allowed to attend the banquet. Is there any important guests who had not arrived, so they were ready to wait?
Others didn't know what was going on, but Ye Xingwen roughly guessed that his father was probably waiting for Lin Feng to celebrate his birthday. Ye Xingwen couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, but found that Lin Feng stood aside with a calm expression, obviously not having the intention of going forward to celebrate his birthday.
It seems that Lin Feng obviously does not want to reveal his identity and becomes the focus of attention. Therefore, he should not show up to celebrate his birthday now. He might even celebrate his birthday when he meets alone.
Since Lin Feng didn't want to be exposed, it was natural that he couldn't say it out, but it wouldn't be possible if he didn't remind his father. Immediately, Ye Xingwen said, "Dad, I think everyone is here, let's take the seat."
"As soon as Ye Xingwen heard what he said, Ye Guoqiang understood. Since Ye Xingwen said that everyone was here, that is, Lin Feng was here, but he was not willing to show up to meet with so many people.
Since that's the case, he naturally wouldn't force himself. He smiled and said, "As old as he is, sometimes he is easily distracted. Everyone should take the seat.
"When hearing this, everyone was not in a hurry to enter the seat. Instead, after Ye Guoqiang sat directly above, everyone took a seat one after another. Zhou Jiaming sat on the left side of the old man for granted. Whether it was Zhou Jianhui or Zhou Cheng, both Zhou Jianhui and Zhou Cheng, they also sat at the old man's table under Zhou Jiaming's light. Secondly, Song Zihan, the leader of Jiangbei City.
On the right side of the old man were Ye Xinghua and Ye Xingwen. As for Tang Xiaoyun and other female members of the Ye family, they were arranged to another table. From far to near, from the distance to Old Man Ye, you can clearly feel the status of everyone.
Those who can be on the same table as Mr. Ye are definitely the real people with status in Jiangbei City. If it weren't for the birthday party held in Jiangbei, Mr. Ye asked his disciples not to come to celebrate the birthday, I'm afraid that except for Zhou Jiaming, they would not be their turn.
