't be exposed for a while. If we take this opportunity to seize the assets under its control, Mr. Yang, alone, would become the most powerful figure in Jiangzhou."Yang Wei smiled and said, “As long as...Chapter 148
"Today is my [official title]’s 70th birthday. I am very grateful to all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet."
Official Zheng Shan walked to the microphone, his face full of smiles, and said in a loud voice: "Today, apart from my own family, everyone who came to celebrate my birthday are all powerful figures who have good relations with my family. Guests, please eat well, drink well, and have fun."
The crowd erupted in cheers, clapping thunderously.
And this is when guests would present gifts to Guan Zhengshan.
"Grandfather, grandson wishes you good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity like Mount Nanshan."
At this moment, Guan Xue Song held a quaint sandalwood gift box in both hands and presented it respectfully.
The lid of the small gift box was open, revealing a jade ring in excellent condition.
"Haha, great! Grandpa really likes Xue Song's gift." Guan Zhengshan said with a laugh.
Guan Xuefeng was the first to present a birthday gift, which in a sense, also symbolized his official status.
Next came the presentation of birthday gifts from Guan Xuefeng's uncles, aunts, and other relatives.
Next came the gift-giving by the guests. In front of Guan Zhengshan, there were various kinds of birthday presents piled up, any one of which could probably support a normal family's income for a lifetime.
But on Guanzhengshan's face there was only a faint smile. Besides the jade ring given by Guanshanfeng, which he praised once, no other gifts caught his eye.
Just then, Wang Jian, who had been kicked out of the official's door by Ma Chao earlier, arrived at the celebration site with a middle-aged man.
"Master Guan, I wish you good health and a long life."
A middle-aged man named Wang, before his workout, was holding a jade planter in both hands. Inside the planter were various flower petals carved from jade.
"Wang Hongye's arms are so big! This jade bonsai must be worth millions, right"
It seems that the Wang family is determined this time to follow the imperial court.
"It won't be long before Jiangzhou has another prominent Wang family."
The guests around were all shocked to see the birthday gift presented by Wang Hongye.
Guan Zhengshan laughed heartily: “Wang Family Head is thoughtful!”
"Lord Chancellor, I have something to report to you." Wang Hongye suddenly spoke.
"Oh What's the matter Master Wang, please feel free to speak."
Although the Wang family is only a second-rate family, they are indeed sincere in sending a ten million birthday gift. Guan Zhengshan did not disappoint Wang Hongye.
Originally, I had no intention of disturbing the master's good cheer. However, fearing that there might be villains among the guests at the master's birthday banquet, I felt compelled to report this to you.
Wang Hongye bowed slightly and quickly said, "I just came from the airport for fear of delaying the master's birthday banquet. So I sent my son to celebrate your birthday in advance. Who knew that at the master's gate, my son was beaten, and the villain also snatched the invitation."
"What Is that even true"
Guan Zhengshan immediately roared, "Who dares to steal the invitation from my official family"
Wang Hongye gave a look, and Wang Jian hurriedly pointed at Yang Chen angrily: "You bastard, don't you get out here to apologize to the head officer, you dare to sit there!"
Everyone followed Wang Jian's finger and saw Yang Chen, who was sitting there calmly. Suddenly, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Just now, Yang Chen broke Qin Fei's wrist in public. He even dared to hit Sun Zi, the most valued grandson of Guan Zhengshan, smashing his head hard onto the table.
No one had expected that even the invitations would be fought over.ng to blame a nonexistent figure”Peng Gang scoffed without fear: "I've worked at Yanchen Group for ten years, longer than you. Yanchen Group is like my home. I only speak out the truth because I don't...
