Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

  Chapter name: Chapter 162 Engagement (middle)

  At seven o'clock in the evening, the magnificent banquet hall is full of gold and jade. －》

  There are not many guests, but they are all heavyweights in politics and business circles.

  The ceremony is about to begin. There is not much greeting in the banquet hall. After the guests sit down, except for quiet laughter, most people are looking at the people who will be here tonight.

  People in the political arena, regardless of faction tonight. Those who have some friendship with the Xu family are among those invited. The Qin family is headed by the father of Qin, Qin Chi, and the Jiang family is headed by Jiang Zhengqi’s father and Jiang Shan, who is in a high position on the committee. The two were actually arranged in the same seat. . [

  This represents the deep meaning, which is thought-provoking.

  As if there was no unpleasant faction fight, Qin Chiyu and Jiang Shan smiled and nodded hello after they took the seat. The rest of the people saw it, and naturally greeted the other factions who were sitting at the table. People who are often in officialdom know that this is a signal, no matter what past festivals have been, they have to be put on hold for the time being tonight.

  Tonight is the engagement ceremony of Xu Kangguo's grandson, no one dare to make trouble tonight.

  Therefore, after taking the seat, the atmosphere of the politicians' seats was harmonious, while the atmosphere of the business executives on the other side was obviously more festive.

  The person with a table is the first to be noticed, because it is the generals of the China Group that accounted for the vast majority of seats.

  Chen Manguan, Sun Changde, Emily, Ma Xianrong, Liu Banwang, Fang Li, Zhu Yanlan, Hu Guangjin, Miao Chenghong, Xiong Huaixing, ten people make up a table, and the generals of the China Group have arrived!

  When the eyes fell on the seven members of the Huaxia Group, the political and business leaders present still inevitably felt novel. These people, which of these people are older than Xia Shao, wonder how she was hired to work in the first place? It's like an old fox who has been in the officialdom for half his life. He first met a hairy boy who had just arrived in a place and took office. No matter how deep the background is, he may not really be regarded by others. What's more, when the Huaxia Group was founded, Xia Shao was only fifteen or six years old, and he was dependent on his family background. She is truly a legend.

  Many times, no matter how beautiful the rumors are, they are not as shocking as seeing them in person.

  Not only that, the people at this table, except for the seven generals of the Huaxia Group, among the other three, there are two people who don’t know! Xiong Huaixing and Miao Chenghong, one is the boss of a state-owned enterprise with rich wealth, and the other is the country's largest jade merchant. They were all invited to come today, which shows that they have a close friendship with Xia Shao. And the other person is slightly less famous and few people know him, but he can be invited by Xia Shao on a day like this, and he must be a big deal in the market.

  Hu Guangjin’s fame is not small. As a leader in the apparel industry in Qinghai Province, Ruihai Group opened up overseas business last year and has an absolute reputation in China. It's just that most of the politicians who are here tonight are at the provincial or ministerial level, and they have a very high vision. If you don't reach a certain height, you won't be able to see them. Even if you have met each other, it's hard to remember.

  To the surprise of the politicians who were present, the people at this table, except for the leaders of the China Group, the remaining three people almost represent the top part of the state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and the significance is still good.

   But compared to the people at this table, when the people at the big table in front of this table were swept, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was shaken!

  Because the seats were messy, not many people noticed at first. But when I saw the seats of the Huaxia Group, and then went to sweep the seats, even the politicians present couldn't help but stare straight!

  A chair was removed from that seat, and the old man sitting there was in a wheelchair, with gray hair but a red face. The old man is dressed in a red Tang suit, very festive, and looks familiar! Someone thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the master of metaphysics in the Chinese world, Mr. Tang Zongbo? !

  Xia Shao is Tang Zongbo’s direct disciple, it’s no secret. Tang Zongbo will come tonight, no one is surprised-the Xu family dare to marry Xia Shao, who is a Feng Shui master, and are afraid to invite Tang Zongbo to have an engagement banquet?

  Not many of these people here do not care about their official destiny. It's just superficially sounding, calling a feng shui language a feudal superstition. In fact, who doesn't care about his official career? Especially these people at the provincial and ministerial level have reached this height. Who doesn't want to go further and enter the height of the central government? Therefore, seeing Tang Zongbo here tonight, no one is not shaken, just because of the scene tonight and the people present, it is inconvenient to come forward and talk.

The shock that Tang Zongbo brought to the atmosphere of the banquet hall was not the whole story.

  When everyone swept across the table, there were frequent vibrations.

Ok? Who is that? That old gentleman looked familiar, as if he was a world-famous banker, Mr. Li Liangjun? [

  The old man next to him looks like Mr. Li Boyuan! The Hong Kong Li family is here too? The weight of the Li family is different from that of Xiong Huaixing and Miao Chenghong, who is the richest man in the Chinese world who has received many receptions from above!

  That, who is that handsome young man? hiss! Gong Muyun, chairman of Anqin International Group? ! Gong Muyun is a gangster background! P of the well-known International Underworld Association

  Benyao

  Also, that couple are...Chen Da and Luo Yue'e? ! The Luo family's background can be said to almost represent the political circles of Hong Kong. Luo Yue'e's grandfather is the former Hong Kong Governor. Although the Luo family's influence is in Britain and Hong Kong, it is related to the exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland political circles. Successive domestic leaders have attached great importance to it. It can be said that the Luo family appeared at the engagement ceremony tonight, not only guests, but also distinguished guests!

  How could such a distinguished guest be arranged on this table? Shouldn't it be sitting at the same table with Mr. Qin Chiyu and Jiang Shan?

  People who found Luo Yue'e were talking in low voices, but when they remembered something, they were shocked by the presence of Mr. Tang Zongbo at this table. It was obviously the woman’s guest. Could it have been Xia Shao’s invitation?

  Not only that, there are also two foreigners sitting on this table!

  One of them was fifty years old, and he didn’t recognize that face. Isn’t this another person who contributed to the return of the mural six months ago, and the old Burton who showed his face in front of the media around the world? Lattice Group is also invited tonight? That's a world-class auction company!

  And the blond young man made the politicians in the banquet hall stare!

  The new head of the Obicris family, Earl Adam? Although this family is a family of wizards, many people in the Mainland find it to be a nonsense, but this does not affect the status and influence of the Obicris family in the world of religious beliefs. The archbishops of the Royal Church of England have all come from the Obicris family for generations. This family not only has a high honor in the UK, but also has tens of millions of believers all over the world and is powerful. Moreover, the inheritance storm six months ago gradually spread to the country afterwards, and it is no secret that the three ancient hundred-year-old groups belonged to the new earl.

  But it’s not the most important thing. What’s important is that these people are all sitting on the women’s seats!

  Is it possible that it really came for Xia Shao’s face?

  These people's guesses are indeed accurate.

  Xia Shao hadn’t planned to invite Li Liangjun, Old Burton, Adam, etc., but the three of them took the initiative to call after hearing the good news that she was going to be engaged and asked if there was an invitation. Li Liangjun has a good friendship with Tang Zongbo. Of course Xia Shao wants to give him the face; Laidis Group has just signed the 10% equity agreement with China Group, and he is considered "owner"; even if Adam has a future with Xuanmen The grievances were resolved, but he said that the matter would be resolved after a year. After Xia Shao asked Tang Zongbo's opinion, the old man didn't mind him coming, so Xia Shao gave him an invitation.

  Tonight’s engagement ceremony, Xia Shao also notified Gong Muyun and Qi Chen, but Qi Chen did not come, Gong Muyun was there instead.

  Gong Muyun's presence was approved by Xu Kangguo. He knew the relationship between the Anqinhui and the Triad Association and the Xuanmen. Both of them were Xia Shao's friends. If you don't notify your friends, you can't justify the engagement.

  Anqin will have a white business. The country is not unaware of its underworld background. However, due to historical origins and the current impact of the Anqin International Group on the domestic economy, the Anqin Association and Triad Society have always been immovable. Of course, the fact that the state allows it to exist does not mean that the underworld is legal, nor does it mean that people in the political circles are too close to the underworld and will not be criticized.

  But how shrewd is the old man? I'm afraid that few of the politicians who will be here tonight can think of it. His old man invited both Jiang and Qin's family. It is precisely because they are opponents that they will check and balance each other. People from both factions are present tonight, regardless of whether they are there. Who is inappropriate to appear here, after the banquet began, everyone toasted and greeted each other.

  It seems that Jiang Qin is at odds, and being present together tonight will make the atmosphere a bit subtle. But in fact, this is the biggest protection for the Xu family.

  There are indeed few people present in this regard. The atmosphere in the banquet hall is still shaking.

  Adam, Old Burton, Gong Muyun, Li Boyuan, Luo Yuee, Li Liangjun...

  The attendance of these people made the atmosphere of the engagement ceremony aroused before it even started! [

  What kind of network is this?

  There have been rumors that the China Group’s connections are daunting, but tonight, I can see the true meaning of the rumors. Underworld, white road, politics, business, and even religious circles, where does a girl who is only twenty years old have such a big influence?

  Before sitting here tonight, some politicians are still thinking about it, thinking that with Xia Shao’s family background, it is a high climb to be able to marry the political giants of the Republic. But now these people who come here are really high climbers?

  Xu’s family is married to a well-known grandson and daughter-in-law, and may not have this connection! The people here are all political and military leaders, and they also have daughters in the family. Whose daughter can have such connections at this age?

   Low gasp, dark shaking, military and political officers, one after another, put away their talking and laughing mentality, changed their serious expressions, looked at the entrance of the hall, and waited.

  ……

  The first to wait is Xu Kangguo's admission.

  The old man, who is more than ancient times, walked into the banquet hall with a walking stick and walked his head up.

  There was no master of ceremonies at the engagement ceremony tonight, and Xu Kangguo came to the stage to speak in person. The banquet hall quieted down the moment the old man walked in. All eyes were on the stage. Except for an old man of Qin Chiyu's age, it was the first time in the memory of most people who saw Xu Kangguo standing on such an occasion. Not as the founding father and important minister of the country, but as a grandfather, an ordinary old man who is just happy to be engaged to his grandson.

"Dear guests, thank you for coming tonight to attend the engagement ceremony of my grandson Xu Tianyin and grandson-in-law Xia Shao. Everyone knows that my grandson Xu Tianyin has been abroad for a long time. He is 30 years old and has not married a daughter-in-law. My old man is so anxious that his hair is graying." Xu Kangguo’s speech is really not like when the national conference was held. This opening speech sounds like an old man talking about homework. The people underneath saw it. Although they were surprised, they all laughed. Laughed.

  What does it mean to not marry a daughter-in-law? If Xu Tianyin wants to get engaged, I don't know how many people have robbed their heads and want to fight! Father still need to worry?

"This kid is cold-faced and reticent all day long. I thought I was going to be a bachelor for a lifetime, but I didn't expect this kid to get rid of it. Shaoyatou is really good, patriotic and upright! This is what I have always asked of the Xu family's descendants. She has These qualities are worthy of being the Xu family's grandson-in-law." After all, he is used to being majestic. After the babbling opening, Xu Kangguo's tone became more majestic.

  This made the people present inhale in one breath, and did not dare to gasp for a long time. Although it was the opening remarks, but the old man said this affirmation of his grandson-in-law, who would dare not take Xia Shao seriously in the future?

  Let Xu Kangguo say this affirmation in the face of the politicians of the Republican **, this girl really has such a big face! It seems that the old man really values ​​this grandson-in-law...

"Haha, okay, I'll just say so much, lest it become a meeting. Tonight is the engagement ceremony of the two children, the protagonist is them, I am an old man not taking up their time here." When the atmosphere was dark, Xu Kangguo smiled on stage, walked down with a cane, and sat on the seats of the chief Xu family and Xia family on the left.

  At the table, the two families are all here, only Xia Zhiyuan is missing.

  The lights dimmed in the banquet hall.

  The atmosphere was also quiet, and only the sound of some people turning around was heard, and everyone's eyes turned to the side of the stage.

  Xu Tianyin didn't know when he stood there, perhaps the moment the light dimmed, but no one found anyone walking in. Only when the lights were on on the stage, I saw the man standing there.

  The black tunic suit was so cold and dignified, the light as bright as daylight could not illuminate the man's loneliness. His shoulders seemed to fall with frost and snow, and the whole person was like a lone wolf standing in the snow. He stood on a high place, and the world's gaze on him was close to him. He only turned his head, his eyes tightly looking in one direction.

  The entrance of the hall.

  The guests shook their heads!

  A light came on, and the light music slowly sounded.

   is not a wedding march, just music with a happy tone.

  A woman is holding her father’s hand and smiling in the light, her eyes are only looking in one direction, his direction.

  In the morning, he saw her. In the snow, in front of the tombstone, she is the memory of his life. But tonight, she added another stroke to his memory. She was the one he had never seen before, standing on the red carpet in a white dress, holding her father's arm. The dazzling light is not as good as her quiet and beautiful beauty, and the pearls on her chest are not as good as her skin. He didn't look at her dress, only her eyebrows, and the two stood in the light across the long red carpet, as if staring in two spaces.

  If time acquiesces, I wish you a lifetime.

  Tonight, it's not an engagement in a trance, but a marriage that the two promised for a lifetime.

  The man's chest heaves up and down, and it hasn't fallen for a long time. A short red carpet, he felt so long, unconsciously stepped down, and looked at her brows, but he forgot to go forward. Just look at her and walk step by step.

  She has always been amazing, but she walked through the red carpet tonight, and the eyes of the guests in the banquet hall were more serious. No one despises it anymore, no one doubts it again, if she doesn't take such a path, who can come and go?

  The music is light, and the lights follow the woman slowly, as if time is gradually approaching. This road, no one thinks it is short, the time is long for everyone.

   Including Xia Shao's side.

  Xia Zhiyuan walked straight and stiff, looking straight ahead. In this life, when the heartbeat was so intense, there was only one time in his memory. That was 22 years ago, the day I married my wife. Tonight, he relived the heartbeat of the old days. Time has passed for more than 20 years. The daughter beside him is slim, holding his arm, waiting to walk into the world of another man.

  This is simply getting married!

  Xia Zhiyuan bit his cheek, and when the two lights were gathered together, he felt that holding his daughter's hand was so heavy.

  The heartbeat is like a drum, and the two men look at each other, as if they are distinguishing each other with their eyes.

  Boy, this is an engagement, not a marriage! Your test is not over yet, don't think you will be relaxed after tonight. Xia Zhiyuan whispered in his heart, but he didn't forget the occasion tonight. He gave the prospective son-in-law a show of power with his eyes, and when he put his daughter's hand in his palm, he almost vomited blood with anger.

  Xu Tianyin only looked at Xia Shao, not even the light from the end of his eyes to Xia Zhiyuan.

  No one cared about the father who vomited blood and exited, everyone's eyes were in the light. At this moment, there are only two young people. Their engagement ring has long been worn for each other, even tonight, they don't want to take it off for even a moment.

  Emotions are not performances. In their hearts, each other is better than everything.

  Xia Shao smiled, her eyebrows became gratifying as soon as she smiled. Xu Tianyin held her hand and refused to let it go. He stared at her and refused to move away. The man's loneliness finally melted away in front of the woman, and the corners of his lips rose slightly. This time it was not short-lived, but lasting for a long time. Whether someone was watching or not, he opened his arms and hugged her.

  This hug is the way he is accustomed to. In the banquet hall, the atmosphere among the guests suddenly surging.

  The outside world is rumored that Xu Tianyin has a lonely temperament, and the wolf king in the army never communicates with others. He is terribly frightened in the uniforms of his soldiers, but he is terribly afraid. Unexpectedly, no matter how lonely a wolf is, there is a time for tenderness. And his tenderness, before tonight, really not many people have seen it.

  The Xu family laughed, but the Xia family blushed, a little embarrassed. Bloodshot eyes came out of Xia Zhiyuan's eyes. He clenched his fist and wanted to fly the saucer over the table. Li Juan glanced at her husband and smiled blushing.

  On the other side of the banquet hall, there are three pairs of eyes hanging lightly, each with a smile on their faces, and only each of them knows the taste of their hearts.

  I don’t know how long it took, congratulations erupted in the banquet hall, and the lights came on, which made Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao end the hug. Xia Shao smiled. When Xu Tianyin looked at the guests, his lips curled up with a smile, the whole body was cold, and the Buddha was very upset at being interrupted. Fortunately, there was Xia Shao on the side, and Xia Shao exerted a fierce force in the hands held by the two, preventing the man from releasing air-conditioning.

  Until the applause fell, Xu Yanshao stood up with a smile and came to the stage.

   "Hehe, as the uncle of these children, I will speak on behalf of the eldest brother and sister-in-law today." Xu Tianyin’s parents went early, and the father had already spoken at the beginning of the show. Naturally, the voice of the man’s parents was given to Xu Yanshao. This was negotiated a long time ago. Although Xia Shao hadn't acknowledged Xu Yanshao's family in his heart, in the eyes of outsiders, he was Xu Tianyin's uncle. On such occasions today, if he is not allowed to speak, it will inevitably lead to a lot of speculation. For the sake of the father, Xia Shao would not fail to agree.

  Xu Yanshao cherishes this opportunity very much. He was prepared early and considered every word and sentence. He was more nervous than when speaking at important meetings. If at this time last year, someone told him that one day he would value a person to the extent that he himself prepared a speech, he would definitely think that person was insane. He is the second generation of the Xu family, a member of the Republic, and he has never treated this way even when he reports to his father.

  But who would have thought that he would just be planted like this?

well!

  This girl is simply his nemesis, and maybe one day he will be the savior of the Xu family.

"My elder brother and sister-in-law passed away early. Tianyin was in Hong Kong and abroad in his early years. As an uncle, I cared little about him. In the past two years, he returned home and was able to organize this engagement ceremony for him. I did. Not only this engagement ceremony, but also the future wedding ceremony, the family will organize it for you, everything is according to your wishes. Uncle here just wants to tell you, no matter how many years you have left, no matter how far you have gone, we are all A family. You don’t have to remember the wishes of your elders, it's all right."

  There are so many sincere words in this statement, only Xu Yanshao himself knows. But at least it sounds very emotional to outsiders, full of guilt and blessings from the elders to the younger ones.

  Xu Yanshao knew that Xia Shao definitely didn't like him to say more and more sensational on this occasion, so he only said these two sentences briefly and symbolically, and gave the place to speak to Xia Shao's parents.

  Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan.

"Hehe, today the two children were justly engaged. The old man and I have spoken. I must have heard what the woman's parents have to explain to the two children. I won't take it here anymore." Xu Yanshao smiled and made a please gesture, and the guests looked around.

  Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan stood up nervously.

  Although it is very stuck, I think today is also a good day.

   Tomorrow is Singles’ Day, and today I finally married my brother, hahaha~

  After finishing the engagement tomorrow, our volume will be over.
