488 The Ye Familyâs Birthday!
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already changed into a suit. To be precise, he had been changed by his mother, Sun Xiaoqin. His bow tie was neatly tied and had a slight slant. He looked dignified with a hint of cuteness, making his sistersâ eyes light up. They ran up to rub Ye Xuanâs face and smiled slightly. Their mood improved a little.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Ye Hongliang didnât waste any time. He picked up his leather business bag and waved his hand.
âLetâs go take a walk. Weâll be back after taking a walk.â
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out of the door. He led everyone into the elevator and out of the hotel.
Then, he hailed a taxi and went straight to the Old Masterâs villa.
The news of the birthday banquet of the Ye family in Shanghai spread like wildfire. Everyone in Shanghai knew about it. All the famous people had received invitations and went there today. The luxurious and grand atmosphere covered Shanghai with a layer of purple aura that shone under the sun.
At the villa of the Ye familyâs Old Master, when one looked down, the entire villa was surrounded by eight circles of flowers. Petals and confetti were scattered everywhere. At a glance, it looked very solemn. It was grand but not flashy, and it was very shocking.
In front of the villaâs gate, there were already all kinds of luxury cars parked. Among them, there were Rolls-Royces, Bugatti Veyrons, Bentleys, Maybachs, and various models. The entire front yard was filled.
Outside the front yard, cars were arriving at the villa one after another. There was an endless stream. Those who could drive such a car were all famous people in Shanghai. Otherwise, even if one had the financial resources, they would not dare to drive such a luxury car over on this day.
Sometimes, one could not drive an expensive luxury car to a banquet just because they had a little money. There was also something called status.
In other words, if someone with a higher net worth than one drove a Wuling, they could only drive a second-hand car. If they drove a Rolls-Royce over, they would be too insensitive. After all, in China, all generations were particular about one word â rules.
However, it was fine as long as there was not much difference. There was no need to be too exaggerated. If they were too exaggerated, it would backfire and make people feel uncomfortable.
After the luxury cars stopped, the CEOs alighted proudly under the chauffeurâs respectful manner of opening the door. They arrived at the entrance of the villa. They were wearing branded custom-made suits and smoking cigars. Their hair was slicked with wax. Beside them was a secretary who specially carried their bags and coats. The CEOs each had a handlebar mustache and was smoking cigars as they greeted the other CEOs.
âCEO Gu! Itâs been a long time. How have you been?â
âAiyo, CEO Li, itâs been a long time since we last met. You look much more energetic. The company has been in good shape recently. I heard that the stock price has risen to the limit.â
âItâs alright. CEO Guâs methods are brilliant. During the previous bidding, that rotten piece of land was really reborn under CEO Guâs hands. Now, it has become the second-largest Century Plaza. Weâre really envious.â
âDamn, I accidentally created that. At that time, I was about to sell it and wanted to try something casually. I didnât expect it to succeed. Itâs also luck. Hey, isnât this CEO Zhang? Aiya, CEO Zhang, hello, CEO Zhang. Long time no see.â
âCEO Gu is so imposing. His entire body is glowing. One look and I can tell that CEO Guâs companyâs data this year is going to break the previous record.â
âIâm just a child playing house. CEO Zhangâs company is still bigger. There are already five companies under your company now, right? If CEO Zhang continues like this, we wonât be able to eat in the future. Itâs fine if you let us have some soup.â
âDonât flatter me. Iâm in the Internet industry. How can I be as stable as you guys in the physical industry? We have to do more projects. We need to take advantage of this opportunity and quickly fish more. Otherwise, I wonât be able to wear my underpants!â
âHehehe, President CEO is so humorous. Alright, letâs go. Letâs go and celebrate the Old Masterâs birthday. I specially brought a ginseng that Iâve treasured for many years today. I can use it to celebrate the Old Masterâs birthday.â
âCEO Gu is so generous. I also received a deer antler. I can give it to the Old Master.â
âAll the CEOs are so imposing. Iâm more tacky. I didnât bring much. I only brought a few boxes of caterpillar fungus. I hired someone to dig them up on the mountain last year. Itâs not anything valuable.â
âHehehe, everyone came prepared. Come, letâs go in together. We have a companion.â
âCEOs, please!â
âCEO Zhang, please go ahead!â
âPlease!â
â¦
Just as the CEOs were about to enter the villa, a yellow taxi arrived outside.
The taxi driver had just turned onto this road. He was originally shocked when he saw that these guests were going to the villa area. Now, when he saw the luxurious convoy at the entrance of the villa in the distance, he was even more shocked. It made him subconsciously turn his head to look at the people in gowns in the backseat. Even his gaze changed.
When the people at the entrance of the villa saw the taxi arrive at the entrance of the villa, they immediately stopped in their tracks. They felt a little puzzled and displeased as they criticized in their hearts.
âDid this taxi come to the wrong place or something?â
âI donât think so. It came straight here. But which CEO is this? He actually took a taxi here. Did his chauffeur take leave?â
âWho doesnât have a few chauffeurs on shifts? Who is this? Itâs the birthday of the Ye familyâs Old Master, but they took a taxi here? Isnât this a little too unruly?â
âThatâs indeed not right. This is the first time Iâve seen such a person. Theyâre really unreasonable. I wonder who they are.â
âIâm amused. Taking a taxi to attend the birthday banquet? Which genius is this? I have to take a good look and think about it.â
âAt the very least, they can just rent a car. No, who is so poor that they actually took a taxi? I feel that they donât care about the Old Master.â
âItâs a little disrespectful. Itâs really rude.â
âTheyâre so unreasonable even at a birthday banquet. Itâs hard to imagine what kind of quality the people inside have.â
âThere are really weirdos every year. Damn, Iâm not surprised anymore.â
Everyone was discussing this matter fervently. At this moment, the crowd suddenly started to separate from the front, leaving a path.
At the end of the road was Ye Hai. Everyone immediately shifted their gazes from the taxi to Ye Hai and praised him.
âHello, Brother Hai. You must be busy inside now.â
âBrother Hai is indeed tired today. Itâs such a big banquet.â
âBrother Hai, are you used to the taste of cigars? Come and try one. Itâs an imported Cuban cigar. It tastes very good and has an endless aftertaste.â
âItâs a little hot today. Doesnât Brother Hai feel hot standing here? Secretary Liu, go fan Brother Hai to dissipate the heat. Itâll be terrible if he gets a heatstroke.â
