Tonight's master of ceremonies was Ouyang Jia, a popular host of a variety show specially produced by Tang Dynasty Entertainment. Seeing that it was almost the scheduled time, she sent someone over to ask Chen Lixuan if she could announce the official start of the banquet.
Chen Lixuan looked at the time and was sure it was almost the same, so he was about to order someone to notify Jin Yu. Before he could speak, he saw Jin Yu already walking this way.
Although the scheduled time has arrived, Chen Lixuan decided to ask Zhao Jinyu what he meant, "Jinyu, do you want to wait a little longer?" Speaking on such an occasion today, it would definitely be better for the biological father, the second brother, to speak, but it just depends on the current situation. The possibility that the second brother could arrive immediately was almost zero, and he himself knew very well that asking now would be in vain.
Zhao Jinyu shook his head, "Father said this morning that he might arrive late tonight. I think we shouldn't wait any longer. Most of the guests have already arrived. It's not good to keep waiting. I think so, I'll try my best to wait. Can you wait until your father comes to cut the cake? Please communicate with the host, thank you!" The latter sentence was said to Chen Lixuan's secretary Jiang Lin who was standing aside.
There are not just one or two guests coming today, and it is impossible to keep everyone waiting. Although all the food and drinks are self-service and have been put on the stage long ago, so no one will be thirsty and hungry. However, how many people who came to the banquet focused on eating and drinking?
In fact, everyone understands that no matter what the original intention of holding this birthday party is, for most people who come here to participate, it will actually become a social feast like other banquets.
But no matter what, it's impossible to just make everyone wait needlessly. It's better to follow the scheduled process.
After Ouyang Jia, the host, received the news from Jiang Lin, he stood in front of the mirror to check the makeup on his face and the dress for the last time, and then opened the door of the temporary dressing room with an elegant and graceful manner.
As a well-known variety show host in China, it goes without saying that his eloquence is natural. Guesting as the emcee of a birthday party is definitely child's play. It is a trivial matter.
Ouyang Jia appeared with the sound of music and made the opening remarks, "Dear guests and friends, good evening everyone! Welcome to Master Jin Yu's 18th birthday party despite your busy schedule..."
When holding a birthday banquet similar to this coming-of-age ceremony, in this link, the main character of the banquet will be briefly introduced. When the host introduces it, he will often use ppt or vcr to achieve better results. However, Because of Chen Lixuan's objection, no ppt, vcr, photos, etc. were prepared today.
"..., now studying at Kyoto University, the most famous key university in China,...with excellent academic performance...a top student,...the special prize in the National College Student Calligraphy and Painting Competition, has been unanimously praised by many Chinese painting masters and calligraphers, and has been Known as the most talented young genius calligrapher and painter... proficient in piano, violin, guzheng..."
As Zhao Jinyu listened to the host above speaking more and more exaggeratedly, and turning more and more down the unknown road, she couldn't help but whisper to Chen Lixuan next to her, "Uncle Third, does she think she is presiding over your Tang Dynasty?" What idol star's debut press conference?" Is this still his birthday party?
These talents of his are just a hobby for him. When the host mentioned it, it seemed as if he specialized in it.
This is just like many girls from rich and powerful families. No matter how good they are at playing the piano or playing the violin, they may have spent a lot of time on this in private, practicing every day for many months, specifically seeking guidance from famous teachers, and I have gone through a lot of hardships to be able to perform at a level that is not inferior to that of professionals when performing in front of everyone.
But when others ask about it, he still behaves calmly and says that it's just a little hobby. I just practice it casually because I like it. Who would believe that if you just practice casually, you can achieve such a high level by practicing casually? In fact, everyone knows the truth, but no one will say this without knowing it.
He is neither planning to join the entertainment industry nor enter the cultural circle. Is it necessary to promote his talents in such a big way? If people who don’t know the details listen to it, they will feel that they are too unworthy of publicity.
In fact, not only Zhao Jinyu was a little unhappy when he heard these words, Chen Lixuan also frowned more and more as he listened to Ouyang Jia's speech on the stage. Regarding Jin Yu's situation, it's not that you can't talk about it, but it should be done in moderation. Just mention it casually. There is no need for Ouyang Jia to introduce it so seriously now. It makes people feel a little ignorant and superfluous. Very petty.
Chen Lixuan did not say anything, but just gestured to Liang Tao who was standing aside. Liang Tao felt something was wrong just now, but he was just a subordinate and could not make his own decisions.
Now I see what my boss means. He immediately ordered someone to remind Ouyang Jia that this session was over and it was time for Chen Lixuan, the uncle who replaced Zhao Jinyu's father, to speak on stage.
Liang Tao was glad that he didn't tell Ouyang Jia that Jin Yu was a Chinese medicine doctor, otherwise he wouldn't know what she would say.
In fact, he understood that Ouyang Jia was not talking nonsense, it was just that the occasion was wrong or the person was wrong, so she, a variety show host who was very eloquent and quick-witted, seemed a little confused.
Ouyang Jia probably didn't realize that she was praising today's protagonist because she wanted to please her, but she didn't praise the right person, and instead was disliked by others.
In addition to thanking everyone for coming, Chen Lixuan's speech was nothing special about Jin Yu, the birthday girl. After saying a few words, he gave up the stage to today's protagonist, Zhao Jinyu.
While everyone welcomed and applauded, they made way to watch Zhao Jinyu walk onto the stage in front. Everyone once again focused their attention on this 18-year-old young man.
Inheriting the advantages of his parents in terms of facial features, Zhao Jinyu’s appearance is undoubtedly superior. His facial features are exquisite without making him feel too feminine. The faint smile on his face resolves the sense of distance caused by his excessive appearance. It is very It is easy for people to feel close to each other.
In less than a year between his official appearance at the beginning of this year and meeting everyone again at this birthday party, Zhao Jinyu's influence in the upper-class fame and fortune circles of the Four/Nine Cities has reached a certain level. It is beyond the imagination of many people.
Because he successfully saved the life of the former leader Fang Lao, the resulting reunification of several major factions and the peak of power made it difficult for people to ignore this 18-year-old youth.
Because of this, even though many people have seen that Zhao Jinyu neither intends to join the army like the Chen family nor has the idea of entering an official career in the future, this does not prevent some families from expressing their goodwill to him and wooing him. He thought about when he would be needed as a doctor, and even planned to make friends with the Chen family during this time.
As the protagonist of today's banquet, I did not expect that many people would have a rather subtle psychology at this moment. As I moved forward, I did not forget to smile politely and express my gratitude to everyone.
Looking at the people in the banquet hall, Zhao Jinyu felt at this moment that things in the world were really unpredictable. No matter how much sorrow and hardship he had suffered in his previous life, how many worldly affairs and relationships he had experienced, and how many strange things he had heard, he would never have thought of it. , he can be reincarnated as a human one day, and come to this day, eight hundred years later, to personally experience everything so wonderful.
He felt that no matter how much he missed his family in his previous life now, he should also be grateful for everything.
"Dear elders, relatives and friends, dear guests, good evening, everyone! Thank you very much for taking the time to attend my 18th birthday party despite your busy schedule. Thank you all! I would also like to express my special thanks to my third uncle for his efforts in preparing for tonight's party. Thank you for everything, Uncle San, for your hard work!" After saying this, Zhao Jinyu bowed slightly to Chen Lixuan beside him and thanked him.
Chen Lixuan was surprised when he heard his nephew speak like this, but he was even more happy. He couldn't help but patted his shoulder with relief. Although he didn't expect anything in return for what he did, it was undoubtedly a happy thing that the person involved could see what he had done and remember it in his heart.
"Also, I would like to thank my grandparents, parents, and mom who have passed away. I want to thank them for their love, care, and pampering for me, and for allowing me to grow up healthily. I feel that their teachings and guidance have benefited me throughout my life."
Probably few people who came to the banquet would have thought that Zhao Jinyu would mention this.
Many people, who have been recognized as ancestors by the Chen family, probably want to avoid mentioning his former family members in Nandu, especially to avoid mentioning his adoptive father Zhong Haoyu. Holding a secret feeling.
In fact, he specifically mentioned them today. He felt that neither he nor the original Zhao Jinyu could or should forget what Zhao's parents and Zhong Haoyu had done to him.
The other three are related to Zhao Jinyu by blood. It can be said that Zhong Haoyu, his adoptive father who has no blood relationship with him, can be said to have done as well as many biological fathers in upbringing and doting on him. Even better than many biological fathers. Do everything well. Back then, before Zhong Haoyu died in a car accident, Zhao Jinyu was even more affectionate towards his father than Zhao Qianxue, who was his mother.
Now Zhao Jinyu has received more materialistic education, but this does not prevent him from believing in the reincarnation of karma and retribution in this life. He feels that even if they are no longer alive, someone should remember them and everything they have done. Let them receive blessings after passing away.
Fortunately, he was familiar and close to Zhao Jinyu. He knew that the person he called daddy was his former adoptive father. Many unfamiliar people were a little stunned at this moment. The second child of the Chen family had never heard of any accident, so why did he suddenly say that he was no longer alive? ? Or is it that the relationship between Zhao Jinyu and the Chen family is not as good as what the outside world sees, and he resents his biological father in his heart?
Fortunately, Zhao Jinyu didn't pause too much and immediately answered everyone's questions, "I want to thank my father for protecting and doting on me, and for everything he has done for me. Thank you, father!"
Zhao Jinyu said the last sentence while looking at someone in the audience who had just entered the banquet hall.
