The first thousand two hundred and ninety-four chapters five big men
"How dare I forget? Don't forget. I remember your birthday most clearly before, but no one else remembers it as clearly as me. It's just that I was really busy during this period, so I didn't think about it." Tong Xinlei was a little confused.
He spoke aggrievedly.
"What about that kid? Didn't he come with you?" Mr. Tong asked deliberately.
"His matter hasn't been settled yet. I've already informed him anyway. I don't know when he will arrive. Okay, let's not talk about him. Grandpa, tell me, have I already made an appointment to marry my baby since I was a child?" Childlike innocence
Lei explained casually, and then asked.
"Yes, you have already made a baby marriage when you were very young! It's not just our Tong family. Many big families do this. The family will more or less have some marriages to maintain the relationship between the two parties. When you were just born
, the Tong family is facing a business crisis."
"The reason why a big family is strong is not only to be powerful, but also to reach a certain level financially. At that time, our Tong family was facing a huge economic crisis and even the possibility of bankruptcy. Given the situation at the time, we could only seek help from
Bigger business.”
"The Tong family has never lagged behind in terms of power, but that time, power was not easy to gain at all. That business crisis was deliberately targeted by someone, and the other party was very powerful. Even though some people wanted to help us, they were afraid of the other party's
Power. So in that case, we can only take the initiative to ask for help."
"If there is no business, our Tong family will soon fall into decline. At that time, the competition between families was very fierce. Especially for the top families, the struggle was fierce. But this time we asked for help, we had no choice.
You are only about one year old and have decided to have a baby kiss!"
"Xinlei, when grandpa did that, there was no other way. I couldn't just watch the Tong family decline. Because among the first-class families at that time, our Tong family was the weakest, and many people wanted to defeat us.
Tongjia.”
"And the big family that I have worked so hard to support is not willing to fall like this. So, Grandpa, I am really helpless. Xinlei, I know it is difficult for you to accept it at the moment, but after all, it has been decided, and I also
You can’t break your promise.”
"If I break my promise, I will be discrediting the Tong family, and the family will definitely be affected. Today, they are all here, so you must be mentally prepared." Mr. Tong slowly explained, and then sighed.
, a reminder.
"Who is the other party? What's his background?" Tong Xinlei paused after hearing the words, and then asked. Although she had been prepared for it, she still felt very depressed when she heard her grandfather say this.
"The Lin family ranks first among the first-class families! Although our Tong family is also a first-class family, we are still far behind the Lin family. If the Lin family had not been supporting our Tong family these years, our Tong family would never be like this.
Looks like that."
"Actually, the Lin family has really helped our Tong family a lot. It was not they who made this request at the beginning, but I took the initiative. They are willing to help our Tong family, but if we don't show some sincerity, it won't be justified. So.
At that time, I had no choice but to settle on this baby marriage for you." Mr. Tong slowly explained in a very helpless tone.
"Grandpa, you don't have to be sad. You are doing this for the sake of the entire Tong family. Xinlei understands. So on your birthday tonight, will you let me make an engagement with the Lin family?" Tong Xinlei comforted her and then said tightly.
Then asked.
This reason is indeed a helpless move. Even though she is mentally prepared, she is helpless. But it is definitely impossible for her to marry someone else.
And the other party was the Lin family, which made her very confused. If she
If she refuses, she will harm the Tong family. If it is serious, she will be the sinner of the Tong family. Naturally, she does not want to see the Tong family fall into her hands.
"Your mother told you everything! So the only way now is Xiaofeng. I heard that he also has some connections with the Lin family. It would be perfect if he comes forward to tell you. With our Tong family,
I definitely can't say this. Lei'er, that means your happiness now is in Xiaofeng's hands." Mr. Tong said slowly.
"But," Tong Xinlei suddenly became entangled after hearing this. She also knew that only Long Shaofeng was responsible for this matter, but the birthday was about to begin and Long Shaofeng hadn't come yet, which made her a little worried.
"Why, you didn't tell Xiaofeng about this?" Tong Xinlei's reaction made Mr. Tong immediately guess what was going on, and then he asked.
"No, but he promised me that he would come today! And it's almost at this point." At this moment, Tong Xinlei was slightly confused, and then told the truth.
"Did he personally promise that you would come today?" Mr. Tong asked.
"Yeah!" Tong Xinlei nodded.
"Then there's no need to worry too much. With Xiaofeng's character, since he agreed, he will definitely not break his promise. At this moment, I suddenly looked forward to his appearance. I'm afraid his appearance will be very important on my birthday tonight.
Wonderful. Come on, come out with me, it's almost done." Mr. Tong touched Tong Xinlei's pretty head, and then said with a smile.
As he said that, with Tong Xinlei's support, he slowly walked towards the hall. At this time, the entire Lin family was brightly lit and decorated with lanterns, and there was a strong sense of celebration. Especially in the garden near the hall, the tables were full of
A variety of snacks and drinks were served.
However, most of the people eating and drinking were young people. Most of the people who came today were middle-aged people. And these middle-aged people did not eat, drink and have fun like the young people. Instead, they formed small groups to discuss something apart from the noise.
Only a few middle-aged people with calm faces were sitting there alone, closing their eyes and concentrating. Although the sky was slightly dark, under the bright lights, it was like daytime. The garden at the entrance of the hall was decorated with lights and colorful lights.
It lights up the whole garden.
"Everyone is welcome to come and attend my father's birthday despite your busy schedule. Tonight we will just celebrate the birthday, relax and have fun, nothing else. The birthday party will start soon. There are seats prepared for everyone in the hall. You can almost sit down.
.When my father announces the end, we will carry out some activities to ensure that everyone has fun and relaxes tonight."
"Also, when you enter later, there will be a storage box at the door. Each person will draw a number, and then please take a seat according to the number! There are only fifty numbers, and we have only sent out fifty invitations. As for the relatives we brought with us,
, behind the numbered seats, there are hundreds of general seats, you can choose your seat at will."
"We arranged it like this to give everyone a comfortable and comfortable environment to avoid chaos. More importantly, these seats are arranged for later activities. Okay, without further ado, let's enter the venue one after another!
"At this moment, Tong Zhenjun shouted loudly at the main entrance of the hall.
The loud voice, upright body, and military momentum instantly covered up the noise and killed everyone in an instant. Standing next to him was none other than Tong Haoyang’s father, Tong Zhenguo.
Although he does not look as imposing as Tong Zhenjun, his majesty in the officialdom has killed many people instantly. One is a big shot in the officialdom, and the other is a big shot in the military. Together, they are invincible.
Dare to look down upon.
As soon as the words fell, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked towards the hall in an orderly manner. The hall was very large, with an area no bigger than two basketball courts.
However, the layout inside is also very simple, just like an auction, with seats at the front and a podium at the back.
It's just that the seats here are not crowded. There is a gap between two adjacent seats, so two people can walk side by side. And this is not just a seat, there is also a dining table in front of each seat, with a lot of snacks placed on it.
Fruit. However, these are only the first fifty seats. As for the public seats in the back, there is no such treatment.
There is a sexy waitress staring at the end and front of every aisle, dragging a bottle of red wine in her hand, and they will go wherever there is a shortage of wine.
People came in one after another, and it took about ten minutes before everyone was seated. After entering, no one made any loud noises. At most, they just muttered in low voices. The overall scene seemed very quiet.
At this moment, Tong Zhenguo slowly walked up to the podium! He cleared his throat and motioned for everyone to quiet down.
"Thank you all for coming to our old man's 70th birthday. Here today, everyone forgets their own identities and integrates into this environment as friends, successfully completing today's birthday banquet." Tong Zhenguo said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out.
"Zhenguo, are there five important people who haven't arrived yet? The five seats in front are very unusual!" At this moment, a middle-aged man with eyes who seemed to have a good relationship with Tong Zhenguo asked.
.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else also stared at Tong Zhenguo. Because of this question, they also wanted to know. The identity and background of someone who can be among these fifty seats is not simple.
There are fifty seats, nine in vertical rows, and only one horizontal row, and it is at the front. Obviously, these five seats are extraordinary. But they really want to know what kind of person can actually let children
The family takes it so seriously.
"I just said that we are all friends tonight, and there is no identity. These five seats are reserved for the old man. Some of them are unwell, so it is naturally inappropriate to sit in the back." Tong Zhenguo explained simply.
One sentence.
"Old man? Five old men? Who could it be?" When they heard it was the old man, everyone couldn't help but guess.
At this moment, a man walked through the door. He looked very thin. He was supported by a beautiful girl next to him, and the two of them walked in slowly.
"Mr. Luo, it's Dr. Luo! I didn't expect that Tongjia would actually invite Dr. Luo. It looks like it's going to be very lively tonight." Luo Tianmin is a miracle doctor after all, and his face is naturally remembered by many big shots.
As soon as he appeared, he was recognized by everyone. It had to be said that one of the five seats at the front was Divine Doctor Luo. They had to accept that Divine Doctor Luo was indeed very suitable.
"Grandpa, if you lie to me today, I will never pay attention to you again!" After walking in, Luo Feier glanced around and did not see Long Shaofeng, and then whispered to Luo Tianmin
threatened in his ear.
"If he doesn't come today, there will definitely be a big mess at tonight's birthday party. And everyone present today is a big shot in Yanjing, so even if he doesn't want to come, he has to come." Luo Tianmin signaled with a smile.
Everyone murmured in low voices.
"Anyway, I have decided that if I don't see him today, then I will ignore you for a month, no, three months!" Luo Feier heard this and still threatened.
"You kid, you dare to ignore grandpa because of him! If you marry him in the future, will you forget me directly?" Luo Tianmin said deliberately.
"Humph!" Luo Feier heard this and hummed softly, but said nothing.
