After the banquet started, Lu Guangdong's father, Lu Yahua, and the young couple left the banquet to toast. Sister-in-law Jing Manni watched her daughter leave, filled with emotion, and asked Jing Gao who was sitting next to her. Regardless of his family status, his younger uncle Shi Junzhi must have a more important status outside. So sit in the guest of honor position. This just makes my sister-in-law's position next to the well.
She smiled and asked in a low voice: "Xiaojing, is Mr. Lu who came here just now someone you know from business?" His attitude was too respectful to her nephew.
"Well, an old friend." Jing Gao smiled slightly, but did not go into details about his past with Lu Gangyu.
Lu Guangdong's parents were good people, and they did not superficially publicize his identity among his relatives. Originally, when the son got engaged, he did not talk about the woman's family, but instead promoted the status and power of the woman's cousin. This was a bit clingy.
This made him willing to give Lu Guangdong's father Lu Yahua a hand.
"Oh. Little naughty boy!" Jing Manni said with a smile. She actually had no idea how far her nephew's business was now. Anyway, magazines and newspapers said that he was worth four to five billion U.S. dollars, but from her two visits to the capital, she knew that the estimates in the newspapers were probably too low. Because most obviously, Fortune Magazine did not include Orange Delivery when calculating her nephew's wealth, and she heard with her own ears that Orange Delivery was her nephew's company.
Anyway, my nephew is very rich, enough to become a big tree for the entire family! Her husband's vice-principal was also made possible by his nephew. As a sister-in-law, she would not ask her nephew how much money you have.
If Mr. Lu was really his nephew's old friend, there would be a very small chance that he would appear at the engagement banquet.
She heard from Jing Gao (Jing Gao naturally did the background check on the Lu family) that her in-laws were in the toy business and their net worth was around 20 to 30 million. This family property is already very good for ordinary people. But for my nephew's wealth, it's not close at all. The level is very different.
While they were talking, Uncle Lu, Lu Shixin, started to drink at the wine table to brighten the atmosphere. It would be inappropriate for Lu Guangdong's mother, Xin Meiyu, to come forward in this matter. He respected Shi Junzhi first, and then Jing Manni, "Sister-in-law, we didn't treat you well this time when you and Brother Shi came to the capital, please forgive me. I did it, you can do whatever you want."
As the deputy chief physician of the gastroenterology department, Jing Manni is very reluctant to drink alcohol. This thing is so stomach-breaking. It's just that it would be inappropriate for her not to drink on this occasion. He stood up, raised his glass and said, "You're welcome, uncle." He raised his head and drank a glass of white wine.
People all over the table commented on how generous and lively the atmosphere was.
Lu Shixin toasted Jing Gao again and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, I want to admit my mistake to you. It is indeed uncivilized for me to smoke in the presence of ladies. I will punish myself with this glass of wine and reflect on it to you."
Jing Gao stood up, smiled and made a downward gesture to signal Lu Shixin not to be in a hurry to drink. However, the demeanor and magnanimity of giving orders and holding a high position for a long time were naturally revealed in this gesture. smiled and said: "
According to Yanjun, I will also call you uncle. Uncle, admitting your mistake is too serious. Moreover, from a young and old perspective, I should offer you this glass of wine first. Therefore, your glass of wine can only be regarded as the host entertaining the guests. Let's have a drink! "
"Yes, yes!" Lu Shixin said repeatedly, his face flushed: "Look at me. Mr. Jing, you are still the best." As he said that, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass first.
Jing Gao drank a glass but did not sit down. He turned a blind eye to Aunt Lu who was eager to toast him. He took the wine bottle and filled up one or two glasses of wine and said: "
Most of the people here today are my elders. I suggest that everyone clink glasses together. Of course, ladies can use drinks. We are lucky enough to meet here today, and congratulations to Yanjun and Lu Guangdong on their engagement. Next, our table will call a truce and fully respond to foreign wars. "
"Haha!" People at the table agreed and raised their glasses to drink together.
Aunt Lu drank a glass of white wine and even flicked the bottom of the glass, but Jing Gao Gao didn't look at her at all. This made Aunt Lu feel understanding. Who cares about a small role?
Exquisite dishes come out like water. Jing Gao and Weiwei had lunch together and chatted with everyone in the Lu family.
At this time, Lu Gangyu came over to propose a toast and said, "Mr. Jing, it's an honor to meet you today." Jing Gao gave him a toast to honor him. After Lu Gangyu came over, everyone else came over to propose a toast, but Jing Gao just touched his lips.
Lu Shixin's face was bright red. He was a member of the system and was very familiar with Jing Gao's style. Big leaders basically behaved like this at banquets. Because there are too many people toasting to the leader. Basically, only people with great status and face will be toasted by leaders. Therefore, Jing Gao gave him a lot of face today and drank a whole glass of wine!
In the middle of the banquet, Lu Yahua took Lu Guangdong and Shi Yanjun for a spin and came back. They were already half drunk and ordered: "Xiaodong, give me a toast to Mr. Jing." It was great! What a pleasure!
He had just returned from playing a round, and all his business partners were complimenting him with envy or jealousy. Damn, smoke is rising from Lu Yahua’s ancestral grave, and his son is actually engaged to the cousin of Mr. Jing of the Phoenix Group. He could guess these sour words even if some people didn't say them in front of him.
I feel uncomfortable holding a big secret in my heart. Now it’s finally time to let it out! Anyway, it was Lu Gangyu and Mr. Lu who leaked the secret, and it had nothing to do with him. He just enjoys the envious looks around him.
"Cousin, I respect you!" Lu Guangdong was about to stand up.
Jing Gao smiled and waved his hand, "No need. You also drank a lot today. If I let you drink again, Yanjun will blame me."
Seeing that the banquet was almost over, Jing Gao told his sister-in-law that her and her uncle's room was upstairs in the hotel, so they could just go up and rest. He and Li Mengwei said goodbye to Lu Yahua and Xin Meiyu together.
"Mr. Jing, I really didn't entertain you well today! I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lu Yahua and Xin Meiyu took Lu Guangdong and Shi Yanjun to the door of the banquet hall on the fifth floor from Jinggao. Lu Yahua held Jing Gao's hand and said.
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, you're welcome!" After saying goodbye, he took the elevator directly upstairs to the presidential suite on the 20th floor.
Li Mengwei didn't drink today. She took care of Jing Gao, who drank about half a catty, wiped his face with a hot towel, and said distressedly: "Jing Gao, are you okay? I'll drive you back. I didn't drink."
Jing Gao sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Weiwei, don't worry, I still have enough drinking capacity. Let's take a short break and I want to talk to Lu Gangyu. You have to pass the time by yourself."
"It's okay!" Li Mengwei smiled slightly and was going to the bathroom to dry the towel when she heard a knock on the door. She went to open the door and saw Lu Gangyu, who had toasted Jing Gao not long ago, waiting at the door under the leadership of the hotel housekeeper, "Hello, Teacher Li."
Li Mengwei felt a little fresh when she heard this title, "Uh, hello." Let Lu Gangyu come in.
"Lao Lu, Rong Cheng has been separated for more than two years, and we have lost contact. Sit down!" Jing Gao leaned slightly on the sofa and made a gesture for Lu Gangyu to take a seat.
