After sitting for about half an hour, no one came to greet Lin Qiuhan and Chen Fei again.

The two of them also understood that they were not very close to the Zhou family and had a high status, so it was normal that they were not valued.

Fortunately, Lin Qiuhan and Chen Fei didn't care about this, so they came to attend this birthday party, mainly to express their gratitude to Mr. Zhou. So, after sitting for more than ten minutes, the two stood up and said goodbye.

Although the other party smiled and tried to keep him a few words, Chen Fei and Lin Qiuhan obviously knew that this was a polite word. They were not ignorant and really stayed there and went back to the hotel directly.

When Chen Fei and Lin Qiuhan returned to the hotel, the Zhou family compound, which had been busy for a day, finally became a little deserted at this moment.

In the backyard residence, the old man Zhou Taiyuan sat on a mahogany chair with a dragon head crutch. Below were the juniors of the Zhou family, reporting to the old man about the welcome situation today.

"Dad, there are a total of 135 customers today, and most of the people from all major forces in Donghe City have come. Business partners such as the Xu family and the Chu family, as well as the municipal government, have also come."

"There are also several large suppliers outside the province who have sent people here. We have all received them. When the birthday party officially begins in two days, they will leave."

"As well as dad, your friends and relatives, you sent out all the invitations, and almost half of them came. Some of the remaining ones have not been in contact for a long time, and some are not in China, which is not very convenient. However, they all called to explain and gave birthday gifts."

………

The old man listened to the juniors' reports and nodded slightly, not caring about these things. Instead, he asked, "How is the Tao family?"

When asked, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties stood up. He was Zhou Hongzhi, the only son of Mr. Zhou Taiyuan, and is also the head of the Zhou family now.

Zhou Hongzhi smiled and said to the old man: "Dad, don't worry, we have already contacted the Tao family. Our families have confirmed the engagement between Xia'er and Tao Yu. We are preparing to officially announce the engagement news at your birthday party in two days, and then we will be happy."

The old man nodded and said, "This arrangement is OK, everyone is inclusive, and it will be convenient at that time."

As he said that, the old man looked at a young man who looked like he was 25 or 26 years old and said, "Xia'er, you are not young anymore. After this engagement, get along well with the Tao girl. Do things steadily, don't go out to do anything, start training yourself and make plans for the future of our Zhou family."

The young man was Zhou Hongzhi's son, Zhou Taiyuan's grandson Zhou Xia. He heard this and stood up, nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will work hard to develop and grow our Zhou family."

"Well, it's good that you have this intention. Don't do any stupid things before." The old man nodded.

Zhou Hongzhi's wife Xu Caixia also smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, Xia'er is grown up now and has matured and will not make trouble anymore."

Aside from the side, a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old also came out and smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, after my brother and Sister Tao Yu got engaged, I promise not to do anything random again."

"I heard that Sister Tao Yu is a warrior. She is an authentic master who has joined the Binghu Sect to learn martial arts. If my brother dares to be stubborn, Sister Tao Yu may be beaten to death."

"Xiaoyun, shut up, are you talking about your brother like that?" Xu Caixia glared at her daughter, then looked at the old man and said, "Dad, Xiaoyun's story about the Tao family's apprenticeship and learning skills is true. I asked someone to inquire. Tao Yu had been studying martial arts in Binghu Sect for three years, and made many friends in it. Even many teachers from Binghu Sect liked her very much."

"I also heard from the Tao family that the Binghu Sect may also send someone to congratulate this engagement banquet. At that time, our Zhou family will have a great face."

Hearing this, the rest of the Zhou family couldn't help but feel excited and talked.

"Binghu Sect is an authentic martial arts sect. People come to congratulate you. Then our Zhou family's status in Donghe City and even Donghu Province will be further improved."

"Yes, a powerful warrior has a very high status. Our marriage with the Tao family this time is a strong alliance, and our Zhou family will definitely grow and grow in the future."

"Also, I heard that those warrior sects have many magic pills. When they get engaged, let Xia'er ask for some magic pills from the Binghu Sect through Tao Yu to prolong the old man's life and live another ten or eight years."

………

The Zhou family was full of excitement and talked endlessly.

At this moment, Zhou Taiyuan, who was flipping through the list of guests, suddenly stopped on a name, "Lin Qiuhan, Long'an City!"

"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhou Hongzhi noticed his father's strangeness and couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Mr. Zhou asked, "Lin Qiuhan and Chen Fei from Long'an City are here today?"

The housekeeper asked the servant and replied: "Master, there are indeed two people who call Lin Qiuhan and Chen Fei here today. They said that my father is your friend, Master, and he came on behalf of his father."

"Father, Long'an City, must be Lin Zhidong's daughter. Where is the man? Are you still there?" Zhou Taiyuan asked a little excited.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then said, "This - after Miss Lin gave the gift, she left."

"Why don't you receive it well? That's Lin Zhidong's daughter, I--" the old man was a little excited.

Zhou Hongzhi and Xu Caixia and his wife suddenly looked a little strange when they heard Lin Zhidong's name.

"Dad, you are still in contact with Lin Zhidong's family. Haven't our Zhou family been hurt by them for so many years?"

"That's right, if it weren't for the intake of Lin Zhidong, our Zhou family wouldn't have been suppressed by the Lin family in Beijing. The family's strength has suddenly regressed for 10 or 20 years, and it has only been barely recovering until now."

When the old man heard this, he poked his crutch and shouted in a deep voice: "Nothing nonsense, you two shut up."

"You only remember that our Zhou family was suppressed because of Lin Zhidong, but you forgot that at the beginning, Lin Zhidong and I had a good relationship. Our Zhou family rose rapidly with the Lin family's business."

"If we look at it carefully, our Zhou family has its current status and it will rely on Lin Zhidong's support. Even if our Zhou family has nothing, you can't resent Lin Zhidong."

When Zhou Hongzhi and Xu Caixia heard this, they did not refute the old man's words, but curled their lips, and the expression on their faces clearly stated that they did not agree.
