How much money is in these two red envelopes?
Based on experience, to stuff the red envelopes to such an extent, it must be at least twenty thousand yuan to accomplish.
So lavishly generous.
Who exactly are these two?
Everyone was full of curiosity, looking toward the two elders and the noblewoman beside them, filled with envy.
"Very good, very good, please co in, please sit wherever you like!" Lin Siyuan said happily, "Lin Hao, take good care of your friends."
"Sure."
Lin Hao led them inside, followed closely by the senior managent of the Sun Family from Lu County, who ca forward to offer their congratulations.
Then they each found seats for themselves, sitting with people they knew well.
The Lin Sidong family happened to be seated next to Lin Hao, Sun Yusheng, and Yu Shilong, less than three ters apart.
"Putting on such airs," Zhu Wuqiao said scornfully, "those red envelopes are probably filled with blank paper."
"It’s definitely blank paper. If it were money, they would have to collect two to three hundred thousand," Lin Sidong said. "Impossible, if you think about it."
Initially, Lin Sidong thought that these people might not be actors, but seeing one after another giving so generously, each red envelope bulging, he felt more and more that Lin Yue’s guess was correct.
Just a celebration banquet for academic advancent; who would give gifts so lavishly? Are they insane?
"I never really saw it before, but this family can really put on a show. This spectacle must cost a lot of money, and Lin Siyuan is actually willing to spend it," Lin Yue said, directly calling out Lin Siyuan’s full na with a mocking expression.
"Brother, when is the county head you ntioned arriving? If he really cos, these people won’t count for anything. When you walk alongside him, you’ll definitely outshine Lin Hao," Lin Weiwei said, hopeful. "Then, my sisters and I will be the focus of the entire event."
"He’ll co, don’t worry," Lin Yue said. "Even the county head is coming because of ; from now on, the Lin Siyuan family will surely look up to us."
As he said this, Lin Yue himself was sowhat doubtful. He originally just wanted to invite the county head to show him so respect by giving a big gift, so that he could gain so face in Qingyang Town.
But to his surprise, when he ntioned it, Lv Wenguang agreed imdiately and even said he would co in person.
And he would bring He Mingtong with him.
These two, they are super big shots in Lu County; when they stomp their feet, the entire Lu County shakes.
And today, due to Lin Yue’s invitation, they were coming to Qingyang Town together!
Lin Yue felt his influence growing, and with these thoughts, he couldn’t help but show a smug smile on his face.
Once they arrive, he, Lin Yue, will be today’s protagonist!
The plan for today’s family was to overshadow the hosts, to make the Lin Family lose face and steal all of Lin Hao’s thunder.
Their table’s conversations occasionally reached the ears of Sun Yusheng and Yu Shilong. At first, Yu Shilong didn’t care, but after hearing more, he frowned and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, who are they? They seem quite dissatisfied with you."
"Yu Lao, let’s not keep calling each other Mr. in the future; it feels strange if said for too long," Lin Hao replied. "They’re from my uncle’s family, they have always been like this, no need to take it to heart."
Lin Hao didn’t care about them at all; even a thousand or ten thousand bad words from them couldn’t affect a hair on him.
His first half of the sentence made Yu Shilong pause, then quickly respond with joy, "All right, then I won’t be polite anymore, I’ll just call you by your na from now on."
Being able to address Lin Hao by his na, this indicated the relationship between the two had grown closer.
On the side, Sun Yusheng’s face was full of envy.
"Director Sun, you too. Feifei is the woman I admire, and who knows, maybe in the future I’ll have to call you grandfather." Seeing Sun Yusheng’s envious look, Lin Hao laughed, "There’s no need for everyone to be so formal."
Friends or relatives recognized by Lin Hao would be treated just like ordinary people in his presence, without the slightest pretension.
Having these two at their ho today, it could be said that it was a great honor for the Lin Family. Truthfully, there was a trace of emotion in Lin Hao’s heart.
As the guests nearly all arrived, Lin Siyuan saw that every table was full and contentedly said to Zhou Zilan, "Having so many people co today is really a first for Qingyang Town."
"Yes indeed, our son has beco successful." Zhou Zilan’s eyes were filled with joy, but if you looked closely, there was a hint of loss in them, "That matter, aren’t you planning to tell him?"
"The ti has co," Lin Siyuan sighed, "After the banquet today, I’ll have a chat with him."
...
At Lin Sidong’s table, people ca up to greet them from ti to ti. Most people from Qingyang Town did not know Lin Hao’s guests but they did know Lin Sidong’s family.
Their family was wealthy, they had both a son and a daughter, and both were promising. They too had once set out from Qingyang Town and had quite a reputation here.
Village chiefs from nearby and the town mayor, along with other prestigious figures, all greeted Lin Sidong’s family enthusiastically when they saw them.
Many residents of the town also approached to get acquainted, hoping to receive so business advice from them.
Lin Sidong toasted with each one, but whenever soone ntioned joining their table, Lin Sidong would proudly say, "I’m really sorry, this table is already taken today, and the coming guests are quite prestigious."
"Who are they?" asked one who ca to toast.
"The two highest-ranking officials from the county," Lin Sidong said with a smile, "My son invited them today to celebrate for my nephew, and fortunately, they agreed to co; they’ll arrive in a bit."
"Them!" The visitor was startled, showing even more respect to Lin Sidong, "You have raised a good son. Here, Lin Yue, I toast to you. When you were little, I changed your diapers for you. When you have a chance, say a few good words for your uncle."
"Ha ha, sure, Uncle, don’t worry, I definitely will," Lin Yue said, laughing, full of pride and satisfaction.
At their table, the banquet hadn’t even officially started, but the toasting was already non-stop.
This scene, observed by Yu Shilong, made him shake his head: "Nowadays, people really can’t recognize Taishan; there’s a master here, and yet they’re toasting the lesser folks."
"Exactly," Sun Yusheng laughed, "The shortsighted are probably just like those people."
The master they were referring to was naturally Lin Hao. Lin Hao didn’t show any false modesty; in front of these people, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say he truly was a master.
"Dad, Mom, over here!" Lin Hao saw his parents greeting the guests and beckoned them over.
Upon hearing this, they walked over to Lin Hao’s table and sat down.
"Ladies and gentlen, thank you for attending my son’s celebration for his academic advancent," Zhou Zilan started a conversation with a smile, "At a glance, you all seem very important, please do take good care of him in the future."
Lin Hao needed their care? Yu Shilong and Sun Yusheng exchanged glances; these parents probably didn’t realize how capable their son really was.
"Not at all, Lin Hao is quite outstanding, and his future achievents will surely surpass us old folks," Yu Shilong politely said.
"Wow, look, who’s that?!" At that mont, a commotion suddenly arose from the crowd, as many people stood up and looked towards the roadside.
Sohow, a black sedan had stopped by the side of the road; two people got out of the car.
Seeing them, Lin Yue was delighted, "Dad, Mom, they’re here, let’s go and welco them."
