A centenarian, a well-deserved treasure of Yanjing.
Since the birth of the old man at the beginning of the last century, he has experienced all kinds of things in the world. He has encountered days when he had not enough food and clothing. When the war broke out, he traveled from the south to the north, and then from the north to the south. It was not until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China that he came to He settled in Yanjing and started working on his own career.
It can be said that the old man's first thirty years of life were not only wandering, but also desolate and miserable. It was really a hundred kinds of life gathered together in one lifetime.
People often say that after experiencing the turbulent era of the Cultural Revolution, there is no hard liquor or bitter fruit that cannot be drunk or eaten.
If it were an old man, he would probably be able to say: If you live for a hundred years, what else can you think about that you can’t see through?
If you can find happiness and stability in this life, who would want to be homeless?
The old man wrote down this sentence when he was thirty years old, and has been striving for this goal for the next seventy years.
He worked hard and struggled, and finally won a place in Yanjing, a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, not to mention the old man of the Chen family in Han Zhenbei. When he saw this old man in his late years, he was respectful and respectful. Evergreen, there are a few people who have never admired or respected this old man.
He has fought in wars, endured famine, even eaten tree bark when he was poor, and even drank turbid black water when he was thirsty. Not to mention that the old man himself is clear and bright on his funeral platform, and he is not afraid of anything. Others can almost deduce this person. The old man’s mentality,
The old man's 100th birthday shocked not only the big names in business and politics, but also many powerful figures from the north who had not received invitations and sent people to send congratulatory gifts. This shows that the influence of the old man is quite astonishing. of,
In fact, even those powerful old men who have already raised their grandchildren are at least one generation, some even two generations below Mr. Xue. It is difficult not to be respectful and respectful.
Stacks of gifts were delivered by the housekeeper's servants, and the relatively spacious Xue family house was packed to the brim.
According to the list, there were less than forty people invited, but more than a hundred people came.
Normally, some wealthy bosses with a net worth of over 100 million would naturally not come uninvited. But this time it was the old man of the Xue family who held the grand ceremony, and many bosses who had benefited from him were shameless. If you want to join us, I would like to say to the old man that he is as blessed as the East China Sea and the longevity of Nanshan Mountain.
Looking at a centenarian, even just thinking about it, one will feel extremely sad. This is human nature, but it is also the most real feeling.
It is difficult for this group of powerful and wealthy people to appreciate the humility and respect in other fields. Only the elderly can give them such a feeling.
Just imagine, when you are still an unknown ant at the bottom, struggling for three meals a day, the old man has already stood at the top of the pyramid and has become a powerful figure, and you are lucky enough to have a chance encounter with the old man. Decades later, we meet again. Old man, times have changed. New people have replaced old ones. Only the old man has not withered for a hundred years. The feeling of this is very difficult for people to understand.
The Xue family mansion, which has always been cold and quiet, is bustling with activity tonight, with bright lights and an astonishing amount of people. Rare gifts appear one after another and are then sent to the Xue family. If an uninformed person sees it, they will think it is a gift from ancient times. What’s the birthday of the royal relatives?
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Ze and Han Xiaoyi arrived on time. The people around them saw two people who had been in the limelight recently and were soaring to the sky. They all wanted to come forward and make friends. Some did not dare to come forward because of their humble status, while others were afraid of their stance. The problem was that he did not dare to come forward openly. As a result, there were not many people who could harass the two of them. Han Xiaoyi talked to the visitor with a gentle smile, while Lin Ze stood quietly on one side and said: A dedicated super bodyguard,
Not long after, he caught a glimpse of a few familiar figures in the crowd.
Ma Ying, Liu Wen,
It was not surprising that Ma Ying could come, but Liu Wen's appearance made Lin Ze a little surprised.
Although Ma Ying's financial background is not as good as that of Han Xiaoyi, it is not far behind. He is a middle-class young man in a first-line circle. It is reasonable to receive an invitation. However, Liu Wen can get the Xue family just by hanging around as a neutral faction. The favor is really surprising,
The two of them also saw Han Xiaoyi, but because there were people talking around them, they just nodded slightly to say hello.
After Han Xiaoyi said hello, she pulled Lin Ze towards a lounge in the side hall.
Lin Ze was a little curious as to what time it was and why he was still in the mood to run to the lounge. However, Han Xiaoyi naturally had a purpose in doing this. He didn't bother to speculate and just followed him calmly.
There were not many people around the lounge, and it was quite cold compared to the main hall. However, when Lin Ze pushed the door open and entered, he smelled an extremely strong sense of oppression.
right,
is to smell,
It seemed that the air in the lounge was heavier than outside, and the breath was even more cautious. Lin Ze finally understood why there were almost no people staying outside the lounge, and they stayed far away.
When faced with people who are one or two levels above themselves, many people will have the urge to flatter and make friends for the sake of their future and money. But if the difference is too far, for example, a small village chief has the courage to walk in and sit with a group of provincial and ministerial level officials. Is it a guy’s lounge? The answer is no,
The difference is too far, let alone flattering, I don’t even have the courage to look up.
Lin Ze knew three people in the lounge, Xue Gui, Chen Yifei, and Wang Shu, who he had only met once but almost died in his hands. He didn't recognize the remaining two people, but look at the postures of those two people. From his temperament, we can infer that he is a very outstanding person.
One of them is polite and elegant, and the other is two meters tall. Even when he is sitting, he is more than half a head taller than his nearby companions. He is a solid iron tower man.
As soon as the two of them appeared, Xue Gui, who pretended to be quiet and elegant, stood up to greet them and said with a smile: "Han Xiaoyi, you are so awesome. You are so late when everyone is here."
"Isn't it normal for a girl to dress up?" Han Xiaoyi smiled innocently,
"That's true." Xue Gui nodded and said, "Why don't you say hello to the big guys."
Han Xiaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, then walked to Wang Shu and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, you are in good health recently."
"Okay, very good." Wang Shu smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Wen, I heard last time that you were admitted to the hospital in the emergency room. Is there something wrong with your health?" Han Xiaoyi asked with a very concerned look.
"Thank you for your concern, Xiaoyi. Uncle Wen is in good health." Wen Poju smiled reservedly,
"What about Uncle Zhan?" Han Xiaoyi tilted her head and asked, "I heard before that you had to eat a roasted suckling pig for a meal. Is your appetite still good recently?"
"Haha, I can eat one and a half lately." Zhan Ge Kuang laughed heartily,
But his laughter was really shocking. Not to mention Han Xiaoyi, even Lin Ze standing next to him frowned slightly. This giant man was really powerful.
Being tall doesn't mean you have a loud voice, nor does it mean you can impress people with a smile. Yao is tall enough, but he speaks softly, unlike the big guy in front of him who is domineering.
Lin Ze knew that only a ruthless person who was full of energy and capable both internally and externally could have such momentum, so he immediately classified him as a fierce person with explosive strength.
After greeting the three of them respectfully, Han Xiaoyi came straight to Chen Yifei and said with a smile: "Handsome Chen, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are handsome again."
"Miss Han is becoming more and more beautiful." Chen Yifei smiled warmly,
"Thank you." After Han Xiaoyi said this, she took Lin Ze's hand and sat on the chair near the door. She picked up a cup of hot tea brought by the servant and took a sip, calming down.
As someone who didn't know much about this circle, Lin Ze naturally couldn't see the meaning behind Han Xiaoyi's move, but just from the auras exuding from these people, he knew that none of them were simple tasks, even Chen Yifei Xue Gui, the two top young men in Yanjing, did not dare to act arrogantly in front of the remaining three people. One can imagine how outrageous the identities of these three people were.
Wang Shu stopped talking. Lin Ze learned from Xue Bailing that he was one of the three giants in Southeast Asia. As for the other two,
Lin Ze's heart suddenly jumped. Could it be that Cheng Cheng was the three giants in Southeast Asia mentioned by Han Xiaoyi?
All at once,
Brother Xiao Lin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and subconsciously glanced at Wen Pojue and Zhan Gekuang with his peripheral vision.
The images of these two people rose again in his mind, becoming stalwart beings.
As the host, Xue Gui behaved extremely decently, unlike the crazy martial arts fanatic he used to be. Chen Yifei also became more and more polite to others. He made a mistake and chatted with Wang Shu and the other three without saying a word, not to mention that he didn't get to the point. Even Brother Xiao Lin felt that the conversation between these people was too light and not passionate enough.
He was drinking tea, his expression unchanged at all, but he found that Han Xiaoyi's body was slightly tense after chatting for less than five minutes. Only then did he realize that everyone's chat was not as simple as it seemed, but was quite aggressive. Yes, it’s just that he’s not at that level, so naturally he can’t appreciate it.
It's not that Lin Ze isn't smart enough, it's just that the things involved in some topics and the twists and turns involved are definitely not something that a person who doesn't live in wealthy circles can react to.
To give the simplest example, Han Xiaoyi was just asked about a very subtle-sounding topic, the development of Chinese medical technology.
According to ordinary people's thinking, even Brother Xiao Lin, who is not stupid, can only deduce the business opportunities in medical supplies. If he is a thoughtful person, he can naturally capture the business opportunities from the chats of a few people, and thus make a fortune. It was a windfall, but the direction of the conversation between the two people, or the purpose of Wang Shu raising this topic, was definitely not to share information, but to test.
To test whether Han Zhenbei is really sick and whether he is so sick that he will not die soon.
Faced with such a topic that could expose the bottom of things at the slightest carelessness, how could Han Xiaoyi just sit on pins and needles, like a thorn in her back?
Fortunately, her scheming was somewhat effective under Han Zhenbei's polishing, otherwise her lies would have been exposed on the spot.
Just when Lin Ze was worried about Han Xiaoyi, there was suddenly a violent commotion outside the door, and shouts and greetings came one after another. Seeing this, Xue Gui jumped down from the chair and said with a smile: "The old man is coming out."
After saying that, he opened the door first and invited everyone to attend.
However, Wang Shu and the others glanced at Xue Gui, who was moving quickly, with a half-smiling look.

There will be a big chapter later, it’s quite late, so I don’t recommend waiting.
