Everyone was excited and dispersed, preparing to go shopping.
"Hey, you spend money, don't tell my parents, or they will break my legs!"
Ye Fan looked at the four mothers who were sightseeing in the distance and quickly gave instructions.
"Mr. Ye, don't worry, we promise not to reveal a word to the two elders!"
The purple snake's voice floated from afar, and others responded.
Mom and the others immediately turned their heads when they heard Zi Snake's words.
"Ye Fan, what are you trying to do?"
Mom walked over quickly and shouted loudly.
"Nah..." Ye Fan rolled his eyes, cursed the purple snake secretly, and then whispered to his mother: "Mom, isn't it my dad's 60th birthday next year?
It’s the New Year now, and although it’s not the lunar calendar, it’s still the Chinese New Year.
I discussed with everyone that we would do it for my dad in Xiaobai Country. They went to pick out gifts and planned to give my dad a surprise..." "Oh, this is about it!"
My mother was deceived by Ye Fan, "You have filial piety! OK, then we'll do it here! You two, keep your noises low so your dad doesn't hear you, you know?"
"Yes, yes, mom is the one who keeps dad's side stable."
Ye Fan nodded repeatedly.
Then my mother pretended to scold Ye Fan for a few words, and then returned to my father and Li Yangsheng.
Dad asked curiously: "What did Xiaofan and the others do just now?"
"It's nothing. These brats are spending money on competitions. Can I deal with them?
I’ve trained you all!”
Mom hummed.
"Yes, these children have made some money, but they can't cause trouble as soon as they come out!"
Dad gave a thumbs up: "You are right! I will have to talk about them later."
"No need to do that. They promised me just now that they can spend up to one thousand yuan per person."
Mom said with a straight face: "It's hard to come out and buy nothing."
"one thousand?"
Dad was stunned, "Isn't this thousand a bit too little?
Xiaobai Country is not our Xia Country, and prices are very high! I saw it yesterday and found that the room we stayed in cost 2,000 yuan a day."
"Where are the prices in our Xia country so low?
Besides, if someone pays for it where we live, can it be the same as paying for it ourselves?"
Mom rolled her eyes at Dad.
"One thousand is enough.
When you go out, you have to plan how to use your money. If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. I’m sure of it! Humph, if anyone dares to exceed this amount, I’ll tell you if I don’t scold him to death!”
When Li Yangsheng heard this, he immediately shrank his head and quickly winked at Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei swallowed, and together with Li Yangsheng silently took off the diamond ring from her finger and put it into the inner pocket of her clothes.
Ten minutes ago, Li Yangsheng bought a pair of couple rings for the two of them, which cost more than 5,000 yuan... The elder sister-in-law is so domineering and scary! Ye Fan sent a text message and told everyone about his father's birthday. Everyone was excited.
I added an extra substantial gift to my shopping cart.
This time I walked around until the mall closed.
The next day, everyone continued to go shopping, and Mom and the others, led by Ye Fan, visited various scenic spots in New City.
The family spent the day playing, and it was already very late when they came back.
Today we all split up to play. Ye Fan and his family went to New City attractions, while others went shopping around.
It's called shopping, but actually part of the task is to arrange a birthday surprise in the hotel suite.
Mom informed Li Yangsheng and Aunt Mei before departure, and they specially cooperated with Ye Fan to delay the trip.
I was supposed to arrive at the hotel after dinner, but I didn't come back until after eight o'clock, and I hadn't eaten yet.
Dad ate some bread to satisfy his hunger on the way. These breads were brought by my mother from the hotel for breakfast.
"Xiao Fan, I just told you not to take the route you suggested. What time is it already!"
Dad was a little angry because his proposal was rejected by everyone right from the moment he left the house.
No matter where he went first or what he ate, no one agreed with whatever he said.
Basically, everyone regards him as a transparent person.
It can be said that Ye Zhonghua was depressed all day long and was full of anger.
“Okay, okay, don’t you just come back later?
Go back quickly and order something to eat, I'm starving."
It's rare for my mother to stand by Ye Fan.
Normally, if Ye Fan made any mistakes, she would be the first to jump out and accuse him.
Ye Zhonghua raised his ears a little, walked to his suite with his hands behind his back and muttered, "Are you still hungry?"
I told you to just eat some outside, but you must come back to eat."
"Grandpa, are you angry?"
Yiyi lay on Mark's shoulder and giggled.
"No, grandpa is not angry."
Ye Zhonghua showed a forced smile and said, "Xiao Yiyi, are you hungry?"
"You're not hungry. Daddy bought snacks for Yiyi on the way."
Yiyi smiled.
Ye Zhonghua's words were stagnant.
Along the way, Ye Fan bought a lot of snacks, which everyone ate while walking.
Only Ye Zhonghua lost his temper with everyone and refused to eat the food that children eat.
When my mother saw this, she joked: "Who told you not to eat? We are not very hungry!"
Li Yangsheng and Aunt Mei nodded and agreed: "Yes, brother, we have all eaten. We are not very hungry now. We can just order something later."
"You...you guys..." Ye Zhonghua felt aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law. He looked up to the sky and sighed, took out his key card and opened the door to the suite.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The moment he opened the door, three salutes were fired, which startled Ye Zhonghua.
I saw Lei Jun, Yuan Yin, and Murong Qi standing at the door with smiles, all wearing red Tang suits, like door gods.
"Uncle Ye, I wish you blessings like the East Sea, longevity as long as the Southern Mountains, good health, and a long life!"
"Teacher Ye, I wish you a happy family, a happy family, a successful life, and a happy life!"
"Uncle Ye, I wish you...fuck, can't you two leave me some good words?"
"What's going on with you guys?"
Dad looked at everyone in the suite in shock.
At this time, the entire suite has been decorated in festive Xia Guohong, with lanterns and colors, giving it an antique charm.
Wu Xue, Hu Bingbing and other girls, like Yuan Yin and others, were wearing red cheongsam, with happy smiles on their faces.
Dad came back to his senses and quickly turned to look at Ye Fan and his mother.
"Dad, I wish you a happy sixtieth birthday. May you have this day every year and this day every year!"
"Old man, you are sixty. You must take good care of yourself and live for a few more decades!"
Ye Fan and his mother put on a red coat, and he took out a red tunic suit from his bag, wrapped it around his father, and helped him into the suite.
Everyone cheered and applauded.
Dad was moved to tears and was speechless for a long time.
Everyone had a great time drinking that night, but no one drank too much, except Dad.
Early the next morning, Ye Fan, Yuan Yin, Lei Jun, Wu Xue, and Murong Qi got up early to meet and headed to the headquarters of Huabang Cuisine.
This morning, I will meet with Mr. Hong and the shareholders of Huabang Food to discuss cooperation matters.
Although there was still an hour before the agreed time, Ye Fan and the others did not want to rush in and make their partners wait.
The headquarters of Huabang Cuisine is on Luobin Avenue in the main district of Chinatown.
This is the most prosperous street in Chinatown, with many high-rise buildings, prosperous shops, pedestrians walking shoulder to shoulder, and busy traffic on the road.
Ye Fan and the others arrived at the Winbond Building, parked their car, and went straight to the conference room on the top floor.
At this time, there is still half an hour before the scheduled time.
The senior management of Huabang Cuisine obviously did not expect that Ye Fan and the others would arrive so early. A senior executive asked Ye Fan and the others to rest in the tea room, and then hurriedly went to notify the shareholders.
After more than twenty minutes, the executives came to the break room and asked Ye Fan and others to go to the conference hall.
When we arrived at the conference hall, seven shareholders from Huabang Cuisine had already arrived.
Although Huabang Cuisine was founded by Mr. Hong, there are a total of 16 shareholders, but Mr. Hong holds the majority of the shares.
The remaining fifteen people only shared less than 30%, with an average of less than 2% per person.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Lei, Miss Wu, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Murong!"
A white-haired old man came up with other shareholders, smiled and shook hands with Ye Fan and the others, "Come on, come on, please take a seat!"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Mr. Hong, please sit down."
Ye Fan recognized the other person. He was Hong Lai's father and Mr. Hong's brother. His name was Hong Tu and he was the second largest shareholder of Huabang Cuisine.
"Mr. Hong, you are always strong and strong. You are truly a role model for our generation."
Yuan Yin looked at his smiling face and sent him a flattery.
Everyone exchanged a few words and arranged the hosts and guests.
The other shareholders arrived one after another, and when the agreed time arrived, only Mr. Hong was left.
"Mr. Ye, my eldest brother has just been discharged from the hospital and his legs and feet are not feeling well. Please forgive me."
Hong Tu smiled.
"It's okay, we'll just wait."
Ye Fan and others nodded to express their understanding.
They have heard about Mr. Hong's situation for a long time. If he was in poor health, they would not send Hong Xianxian to Xia Kingdom to sign a cooperation contract.
Hong Tu looked at his watch, looked at his shareholders, and then said to Ye Fan: "Mr. Ye, I heard that Xianxian had some unpleasantness when she signed the contract with you, so we helped her apologize to you.
"
"No, it's just some disagreements."
Ye Fan waved his hand, "You're welcome, Mr. Hong, the misunderstanding has been resolved."
"Mr. Ye is so generous at such a young age and has a bright future!"
Hong Tu laughed, then changed the topic and whispered: "We have read the contract of the cooperation plan. I am not relying on my old age to sell my old age. Mr. Ye's conditions... are a bit harsh!"
Ye Fan immediately grinned, knowing it well, but still pretending to be confused: "It's okay."
"Mr. Ye, I remember that our shareholders' meeting unanimously decided that the investment in the first step of the tens-billion plan is not the cooperation of the entire big plan.
But as you talked with Xianxian, it turned into an entire global plan.
Alas, I wonder if Xianxian is too young and misunderstood the meaning of our shareholders' meeting..." Hong Tu sighed in distress: "Mr. Ye, why don't we discuss it in detail!"
"Talk about it in detail?"
Ye Fan smiled.
"Okay! But let's wait until Mr. Hong comes. Mr. Hong brought up the matter of cooperation. You have to ask him for his specific ideas.
If Mr. Hong wants to renegotiate the contract, I, as a junior, will have no objection."
