The night fell, and the starry sky sprinkled the ground with brilliance.
Although it is covered with frost and snow outside, the Wanxi Hotel is still brightly lit and bustling because Mr. Lin's 70th birthday is being held here tonight.
All the prominent figures in the military, political and business circles were present.
The interior of the hotel is very elegant.
The colorful crystal lanterns hanging high in the air, the warm and burning fireplace, and the luxurious giant murals make the entire hall look magnificent.
Mr. Lin was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, his back was straight, and his every move exuded the majesty of a long-established officialdom.
Although the old man has entered his sixties, he is still in good spirits. At this moment, he is sitting in the front seat, receiving birthday wishes from everyone.
Whoever comes to the hotel for a banquet is not a human spirit?
Although Mr. Lin has retired from his high position, his influence in the officialdom is still warm, not to mention that a tiger father has no dog son, and Lin Wenzheng is more talented than others. Now his official position is getting bigger and bigger, so as to curry favor or flattery.
Naturally, there are many people who cling to the Lin family's connections.
Lin Wenzheng and his wife were receiving guests in the hall. Zhou Qing was quite comfortable with such a wealthy banquet, but Lin Wenzheng didn't like this kind of occasion very much.
But as his father got older, he preferred the birthday banquet to be more lively, so Lin Wenzheng still held such a birthday banquet for his father.
"Grandpa, happy birthday. Ning Ning wishes grandpa a blessed life and a long life. I hope grandpa will be happy every year and have good luck every year!" Lin Ning's sweet voice came from the bustling environment.
Tonight, Lin Ning was wearing a pure white off-shoulder evening dress, with a small face and appropriate light makeup, which made her look even more refined.
At first glance, I can only feel that this girl has an unworldly temperament and an otherworldly feeling.
At this time, the room was full of distinguished guests, so it was natural that Mr. Lin could no longer treat his granddaughter coldly.
But the old man's attitude was still not that enthusiastic. He just said in a neutral tone: "Ning Ning is here. You are so busy. It's rare that you can spare time to see me, old man. You are interested."
Lin Ning's smile was a little stiff.
What does grandpa mean by saying this in public? Is he complaining that he has never seen him before?
However, even if she wanted to visit the old man...
But she knew very well that the old man didn't like her, and she wouldn't ask for trouble.
But in front of so many people, Lin Ning's disguise was perfect.
She still smiled sweetly, handed the gift box to the old man, and said obediently: "Grandpa, I only have you as my grandpa. Today is your birthday. No matter how busy I am, even if I don't need my job, I have to come over and give it to you."
It’s my birthday, there will be more careers in the future, but grandpa, you are the only one..."
Mr. Lin is not interested in Lin Ning's flattery.
The old lady was coaxed to smile by Lin Ning's sweet mouth.
The old lady held Lin Ning's hand cordially and said, "My granddaughter is considerate. I heard that you flew abroad to film a movie some time ago. How about it? The time difference should be adjusted now, right?"
Lin Ning stuck out her cute little tongue: "Grandma, I have adapted to it a long time ago. Ning Ning's physical fitness is not that bad. Let me tell you, I have prepared grandpa's birthday gift a few days ago. The gift is mine.
I bought it abroad, I hope grandpa likes it."
"What kind of gift did Ning Ning give you? As a child, you have a lot of money to spend. You can't spend it like this in the future..." Mrs. Lin said as she opened the gift box.
In the box, there is an exquisite jade-carved antique pipe, which is worth a lot at first glance.
"Ning Ning is such a considerate child. A few days ago, the old man told me that he wanted a pipe. Unexpectedly, his wish came true on his birthday. Ning Ning, is it possible that you are the roundworm in your grandfather's belly?
Mrs. Lin joked with a smile.
Mr. Lin also looked at Lin Ning meaningfully, with complicated eyes, but did not speak.
Lin Ning smiled sweetly: "As long as grandpa likes it, that's fine."
One time when she was at the old house, she accidentally overheard the conversation between her grandfather and her grandmother. She learned that her grandfather liked antique pipes, so she thought about buying a pipe as a birthday gift for her grandfather.
"Ningning is so kind to your grandpa, which makes me, an old woman, jealous. Forget it, today is his birthday, so I won't care." Mrs. Lin said deliberately sourly, but her eyes that loved her granddaughter were full of love.
Can't fool anyone.
The discerning people present were all envious of the great relationship between their grandparents and their grandchildren.
Lin Ning put her arms around Mrs. Lin's neck and said coquettishly: "Grandma, Ning Ning is not such a heartless person. I also prepared a gift for grandma today!"
Lin Ning waved her hand, and the agent waiting on the side immediately handed over an exquisite gift box.
Lin Ning gave it to Mrs. Lin: "Grandma, this is your gift!"
Mrs. Lin was surprised when she opened it, and it turned out to be an elegant embroidered shawl.
When all the female relatives saw the shawl, their eyes flashed with surprise.
"What a beautiful shawl!"
"This embroidery is really amazing, so ingenious and beautiful!"
When Mrs. Lin heard the compliments from around her, she felt unusually happy.
Lin Ning's agent interrupted at the right time: "Old madam, the embroidery on this shawl was sewed by Ning Ning herself. It took her more than a month to embroider this shawl, and she even recommended it.
I turned down several movie offers!"
The manager's words simply caused huge waves among the female relatives.
Everyone seemed to be in disbelief: "This... this was really embroidered by Ning Ning herself? Oh my god, isn't this craftsmanship so amazing?"
"I didn't expect Miss Lin to be such a good actress. Her skills are also top-notch. Mrs. Lin, you have a great granddaughter!"
"Mrs. Lin, my son has just been promoted to major general in the army this year and has not yet been married. Do you think you can be a matchmaker..."
Lin Ning smiled without showing her teeth, and moved her hands and feet in a graceful manner, her appearance was comparable to that of a lady in ancient times.
Facing the praise from everyone, Lin Ning lowered her head shyly. Her pure and elegant appearance successfully confused many noble ladies and also stunned some unmarried single elites who did not know her true face.
At this time, an exclamation suddenly came from the hall!
Lin Ning turned her head curiously and followed everyone's gaze...
In the hall, a pair of outstanding men and women appeared.
The man is tall and handsome, wearing a well-tailored suit. His handsome face is a disaster for the country and the people. His long, narrow and deep eyes are like arctic ice, sharp and domineering, but when he looks at the woman holding his arm, they are cold.
His eyes suddenly became as tender as water.
This man is naturally the big boss of T Group - Mu Shaoling.
When Zhou Qing's eyes caught sight of the girl holding Mu Shaoling's arm, looking at that inexplicably familiar little face, her heart trembled uncontrollably...
