n111 Congratulations; The CEOs’ Surprise

nAll the relatives and villagers were confused when they saw the cars. They all looked at Lin Tao and Lin Liqiang.

nHowever, how would Lin Tao and Lin Liqiang know what the situation was?

nThey were also filled with confusion.

n“Could it be relatives of Old Man Wang’s family?” someone asked in a low voice.

nAs soon as these words were spoken, many people revealed a hint of hesitation.

nThey were hesitating whether they should go to the Wang family’s house.

nAlthough they did not know the specific models and prices of these cars, they recognized the logo of Mercedes-Benz and BMW in front of the cars.

nThese… They were all expensive luxury cars!

nThey were all distinguished guests!

nSo many important guests!

nCreak! Creak!

nWhile some of the villagers were hesitating, the car door slowly opened.

nMen and women in suits and leather shoes, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came down one after another.

nAmong them, the round-faced and good-natured middle-aged man, Wang Zhongde, strode in front of Lin Fan and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Lin.”

nMore than a month ago, Lin Fan had become the group leader of Qiankun building after gaining majority shares.

nIn the group, there was Wang Zhongde, the property manager, and the boss of the company who rented the office building.

nYesterday, after Lin Fan found out that his grandfather was going to hold his 70th birthday banquet, he immediately sent out an invitation to the companies in Qiankun building.

nThe bosses of those companies had long been full of curiosity about the boss of Qiankun building.

nTherefore, when they saw the invitation, unless they were out of town or had something urgent, they all rushed over.

nAfter the bosses heard Wang Zhongde’s words, they could not help but secretly size up Lin Fan.

nLin Fan smiled and nodded, then introduced, “This is my grandfather.”

n“So you’re the birthday boy today, Elder Lin,” Wang Zhongde said immediately. “If Mr. Lin didn’t tell me, I would have thought you were his uncle.”

nThis sentence was a compliment.

nHowever, it also somewhat contained the truth.

nThat was because Lin Liqiang’s mental state was good.

nIn addition, he had just drunk the Medical Water, so he was even more energetic.

nAt this time, Lin Liqiang, Lin Tao, and the villagers finally understood that the people who came out of the luxury cars were all here to celebrate Lin Liqiang’s birthday, not Wang Yaping’s.

nLin Liqiang could not help but ask, “You are…”

n“Look at me. I haven’t introduced myself yet.” Wang Zhongde quickly said, “I’m the property manager of Qiankun building. Elder Lin, I wish you good fortune and longevity!”

nAs he spoke, he handed over a longevity peach made of pure gold.

nBehind Wang Zhongde, a middle-aged man in a black suit handed him a golden lock and said, “I’m the chairman of Ruide Corporation, Liang Feiyang. Elder Lin, I wish you a long and healthy life, and good fortune!”

nBeside him, a man in a white shirt handed him a red packet and said, “I’m the chairman of Yonglun Company, Zhuo Jun. Elder Lin, I wish you good health and all the best!”

n…

nInstantly, a wave of congratulatory sounds rang out.

nEveryone’s mouth was half-open when they heard this, and their faces were full of surprise.

nWhen these people got out of their luxury cars, everyone had already guessed that they were of extraordinary status.

nHowever, after hearing their well-wishes and self-introductions, they realized that they were all bosses of companies!

nOne had to know that there were more than a dozen people who had just come!

nIn other words, more than a dozen company bosses came to congratulate Lin Liqiang?

nIt was simply unimaginable!

nWhen the last person’s introduction and blessings were over, Lin Liqiang finally came back to his senses.

nHe laughed heartily and said, “This is great! Thank you. Please sit down and have some tea. The banquet is about to begin!”

nSome of the elders sat down, while some chatted in low voices. Others were quietly observing the surrounding environment.

nAt first, the bosses did not think much of it.

nThis was because it seemed to be just an ordinary one-story house in a village.

nThey could not help but have some doubts in their hearts. Was this really the hometown of the behind-the-scenes boss of Qiankun building?

nWas he not a little too ordinary?

nAt this moment, two bosses heard the sound of people cooking and cutting vegetables. They turned their heads to take a look.

nIt would have been better if they had not taken a look, but after they did, they could not peel their eyes away.

nThe three chefs were waving their knives like shadows as they cooked quickly.

nHow sharp were the eyes of the CEOs?

nAt a glance, they could tell that the three chefs’ cooking skills were very good. They were probably comparable to the average four-star or even five-star chefs!

nThis was nothing.

nThe key point was…

nThe ingredients they were cooking included top-grade pork, shrimp, and beef… Especially when they saw the logo of Big Pot Market on the bags, the corners of their eyes twitched.

nThey knew very well how expensive the ingredients in Big Pot Market were.

nThat was a place known as Market No. 1!

nEven they had only been there once or twice.

nThe dishes of this banquet were all made from Big Pot Market!

nHow much did these ingredients cost?

nGulp!

nThe two bosses could not help but swallow their saliva.

nLin Xiaoyao saw that so many people had come to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday. She was also the host, so she should entertain them well.

nGenerally speaking, if the banquet had not started yet, the guests should be allowed to play cards for entertainment.

nUnfortunately, there were no cards in the house.

nLin Xiaoyao’s eyes darted around, and soon, her gaze fell on the jade chess set not far away.

nHence, she quickly walked up to the CEOs with the chess set in her arms and asked, “Do you guys want to play chess?”

nA CEO in a black suit was about to wave his hand.

nThe next moment, his entire body froze, and his eyes were locked on the chess set.

nIn fact, he was not the only one. Many of the other CEOs were also focused on the chess set.

n“It looks like jade?” someone said with uncertainty.

nThe CEO in a blue shirt who was the closest did not say anything. He reached out with a trembling hand, picked up a chess piece, and looked at it carefully.

nAfter a long while, he said seriously, “It’s jade! Moreover, it’s high-grade jade!”

nAs soon as he said that, all the bosses around him gasped.

nOne must know that the company of this blue shirt CEO was in the jewelry industry!

nHe could be said to be an expert in the appraisal of jewelry and jade. He would definitely not be wrong!

nAll the bosses present had a certain level of knowledge.

nThey knew that some people used jade as bracelets, and some people used jade as pendants…

nHowever, this was the first time they had seen someone use jade to make a chess set!

nHow much would such a set of chess cost?

n10 million?

n20 million?

n…

nAfter buying such a chess set, they should put it in a safe to admire it secretly, right?

nHowever, the owner just took it out and let it be played like a normal chess set?

nThis was a jade chess set!

nIf it accidentally fell, how painful would it be?

nWhoosh!

nAt this moment, Lin Xiaoyao lost her grip and a chess piece fell from the chessboard to the ground.

n
