Chapter 94
After the news of Lin Jianquan's victory spread back to the Ye family, the whole Ye family was in an uproar. The old man could hardly believe it and jumped up on the spot, then laughed out loud.
When Ye Tianhui returned to the Ye family, Old Master Ye ran out to greet her personally. In front of all the descendants of the Ye family, he held Ye Tianhui's hand and said, "Tianhui, you have made me proud. I can be proud of you! You defeated the Meng family's horse and severely cut their edge. From now on, our Ye family can be proud of you in the horse racing world!"
It was already late winter and the weather was cold, but it was obvious that Old Master Ye was in a very good mood. He laughed and said, "Next, I will entertain the guests. I will talk to those people in the Jockey Club right away. I want to join the Jockey Committee. When I celebrate my birthday, I will entertain all the political and business celebrities in Hong Kong!"
The situation on the racecourse is changing rapidly. No one knows the final result, and no one can predict who will be the king of horses, but at least now, the horses of their Ye family have defeated the horses of the Meng family, and they are the horses of the popular Nie Pingqi and Wudi Dongli.
That's enough!
They have won!
This moment is so glorious!
He held Ye Tianhui's hand and was very affectionate: "Tianhui, you are a great contributor to our Ye family!"
When he said this, Ye Lizhen's face was embarrassed, and he was obviously not very happy.
Ye Wenyong was silent from the side. In fact, from the perspective of resignation, he certainly understood that Ye Tianhui was very capable, and her winning the competition would benefit the whole family, but he also knew what his father meant, and he was in an awkward position.
The second wife also laughed and said, "The old man is in a good mood today. I have specially instructed the kitchen to make a few more dishes that the old man likes. Let's have a lively dinner tonight."
When Old Master Ye heard this, he glared at the second wife and said, "You should make a few more dishes that Tianhui likes. Today is Tianhui's celebration banquet!"
The second wife hurriedly said, "Of course, I have already told the kitchen."
When the others heard this, they naturally understood that Ye Tianhui was the most important now, and the old man wanted to hold Ye Tianhui in his palm and lift her up to the sky.
At once, everyone entered the hall and sat down. Old Master Ye sat in the main seat, and Ye Tianhui naturally sat near him. The others sat in order of seniority.
Old Master Ye smiled and said, "Tianhui has done a great job for our family. I want to reward Tianhui."
He turned his head and asked the second wife next to him, "What do you think? How should we reward her?"
The second wife was slightly stunned. This old man who has always been arbitrary actually asked her?
At this time, everyone looked over.
The second wife smiled slightly and said, "Of course, we should reward her well. How do you say to reward her?"
Old Master Ye asked Ye Lizhen next to him, and Ye Lizhen was even more embarrassed.
But he understood what the old man meant, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Then reward some properties? Or something else? I don't understand this either."
Old Master Ye smiled and said, "I was thinking, isn't the land in Shatin now registered under the name of our real estate branch? Tianhui horse racing is very popular. As long as we get the government's reclamation project in Shatin, the value of the land in Shatin will definitely increase greatly. This is all due to Tianhui. You can give some shares of the real estate company to Tianhui in the future."
When these words came out, everyone around naturally didn't expect that this was a big piece of meat.
Ye Wenyin was sitting at the bottom at this time, quietly, not attracting much attention, and trying to keep a low profile.
She was also surprised to hear this at this time.
You have to know that the daughter of the Ye family is indeed a rich lady. The old man in the family is happy and said that he would give her some things, which are nothing more than jewelry. He could also give her a house or a shop. Those are all good things.
The old man came from the Republic of China and has always valued boys over girls. He would hold on to things related to the foundation of the family development, or give some to his son from the gaps between his fingers.
As a result, the Shatin land obviously has great potential, but the old man actually wants to give it to Ye Tianhui?
She could hardly believe it.
Ye Lizhen was even more surprised when he heard this. He hurriedly glanced at the second wife.
The smile on the second wife's face almost disappeared.
But at this moment, the old man asked, "What do you think?"
The second wife and Ye Lizhen were speechless for a while.
On the contrary, Ye Wenyong said, "We have accumulated a large amount of Shatin land. If Shatin cannot get the reclamation project and build the Shatin Racecourse, we will miss the development opportunity. Then we will definitely be defeated by the Meng family and will never be able to turn things around. Therefore, if Shatin land can be developed, the key lies in the horse racing this season. The key to this season's horse racing now depends on Tianhui. If Shatin can succeed, it will depend on Tianhui's horse racing. So I think, from a fair perspective, Shatin Real Estate should give Tianhui some shares. This is what it deserves."
After he said this, Ye Lizhen looked a little embarrassed.
His son agreed, and his father's opposition was a little awkward.
Moreover, it was clear that the old man wanted to give Ye Tianhui power, from the arrangement of the family to the layout of the company, to pave the way for Ye Tianhui.
This frightened him, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "That makes sense, it's what we should do." Since
his son and grandson had said so, the second wife naturally had no reason to object, but she was embarrassed. The old man said
, "Since everyone agrees, I have nothing to say, let's do it." Everyone was speechless for a moment. It was clearly his own idea, but now it seemed very democratic, as if everyone was suggesting it and he was reluctant to do it! But what else could everyone say? The old man was the boss, who dared to say anything! At this time, dinner was served. Old Master Ye was in high spirits and talked about the next plan. Ye Lizhen also joined in the fun and talked about the arrangements for the birthday banquet, etc. He wanted to entertain guests, make a big splash, and let everyone see the glory of the Ye family. Old Master Ye nodded: "When the results came out just now, Mr. Hu from the government called me. From what he said, our Ye family's horse racing is very popular at the moment. Lin Jianquan made a big splash this time and now defeated Nie Pingqi. He is at the peak of his career. He looks good too. The Hong Kong government plans to make him a representative and train him well. He will be the focus of promotion in the future." Ye Tianhui listened and naturally understood that each era needs its own spirit, an object of worship, or a support. Horse racing is a popular sport among the whole nation. There are so many horse racing fans in Hong Kong. Nowadays, the horse racing world is a hot topic among the whole nation. Even the grandmas in the vegetable market are talking about horse racing betting.
In this situation, everyone needs an object of spiritual worship, or in other words, a symbolic figure is needed for Hong Kong horse racing.
Ko Chi-ming may have been such a figure in the past. He made a comeback this time and he did have an unstoppable momentum, but he is old after all, and sooner or later he will have to withdraw from the stage of history.
So for the Hong Kong government, the only options are the popular Nie Ping-chi and Lam Kin-chuen.
But Nie Ping-chi is obviously not the most suitable. He comes from a wealthy family, and horse racing is not his only way. Such a person is not easy to control, and his resume is not suitable for building momentum.
Now Lam Kin-chuen has defeated Nie Ping-chi and is in the limelight. Lam Kin-chuen's background can make ordinary citizens empathize and empathize. This is simply the emperor's choice of son.
Ye Tianhui said immediately: "Jianquan has a handsome appearance, and he can actually dress up a bit. If possible, we should start as soon as possible and shoot some good promotional videos for him, and then shoot Black Rose and Hell King as the logo of our Ye family horse racing."
Ye Wenyong beside him listened and nodded: "This is a good idea. I also thought that we should hold a big birthday banquet this time. "We will invite some popular stars and singers to come and perform at the birthday banquet to liven up the party."
The old man nodded and said, "That's good. Then invite more people, and find those that young people like."
Everyone was talking so enthusiastically that the second wife and Ye Lizhen couldn't help but come over to praise him. As for the other descendants of the Ye family, they were even more cautious and smiled, and complimented him whenever possible.
**********
After dinner, everyone talked with the old man for a long time, and then went back to their rooms. Ye Tianhui was left behind to discuss how to promote Lin Jianquan and make him the symbol of the Ye family's horse racing.
Old Master Ye also reminded: "Recheck Lin Jianquan's contract to see if there are any loopholes. We have cultivated talents with great difficulty, and we cannot let others take advantage of them."
It is not easy to cultivate such a Lin Jianquan. Whether it is a little salary, or various resources, and all kinds of hard work, he has finally become famous and outstanding. It is time to enjoy the fruits of victory. If he is taken away by others, the Ye family will be furious.
Ye Tianhui said: "Grandpa, you can rest assured about this. When signing the contract, I asked the legal department to study it. We can guarantee the rights and interests of the 30-year contract."
The old man was naturally satisfied when he heard it: "Okay, I feel relieved when you say that."
In this way, Lin Jianquan can be promoted without worries, and he can be lifted up and put in front of people.
After a good discussion and arrangement, Ye Tianhui went back to her room. Who knew that when she arrived at the door of her house, she saw a person waiting there with his head bowed. It was Feng Suqin.
Feng Suqin saw Ye Tianhui coming and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Miss, you are back. I have to talk to you."
Ye Tianhui looked at her attentive appearance, but she thought of the past, all kinds of things in the past.
People are really fickle. Who would have thought that the arrogant Feng Suqin in the past would fall to this point now.
But looking at her like this, Ye Tianhui felt good.
She liked to see people like this grovel.
So she looked at Feng Suqin: "Let me ask you first, what did you do today?"
Feng Suqin didn't understand what Ye Tianhui meant, but still said: "I helped clean the courtyard today, and I watered the flowers over there."
Ye Tianhui: "Quite diligent."
Feng Suqin hurriedly smiled apologetically: "It's what I should do, it's what I should do."
She looked at Ye Tianhui and said cautiously: "It was my fault before. How would I know that you were the eldest lady? You, you should not hold a grudge."
Ye Tianhui smiled and looked at Feng Suqin: "Then tell me, why shouldn't I hold a grudge against you?"
Feng Suqin was a little panicked when she heard it: "Miss, it was you who wanted to keep me. This is all your kindness, and I remember it!"
She always felt that Ye Tianhui's temperament was unpredictable, and now it seems even more unpredictable.
Ye Tianhui was too lazy to pay attention and said, "If you work hard, I will ask you to come over and work for me. Then I can take care of you."
Feng Suqin's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, okay, the lady is still kind, much better than my annoying daughter-in-law!"
Ye Tianhui heard this and felt that this person was extremely stupid. She
suddenly thought of all kinds of things in the mainland. This kind of person can only show herself in a specific social environment.
Now that the times have passed, she still thinks she can call the wind and rain, which looks unbearable.
She was too lazy to pay too much attention to this kind of person, and even felt that it would be better to slap him directly.
She was impatient for a moment, but still said, "Then what did you want to say to me just now? Go ahead."
Feng Suqin then complained, "It's very cold now and I want to buy a new coat. Clothes in Hong Kong are so expensive. How can I afford it? So I thought of asking Wen Yin to buy it for me. Who knew that she would be so good and ignore me? How can I live like this?"
Ye Tianhui sighed, "She has been a young lady for so many years, she must have money, she just doesn't want to spend it on you."
Feng Suqin nodded vigorously, "That's the truth. How could I give birth to such a daughter? I..."
She stopped suddenly in the middle of her words.
Ye Tianhui remained calm: "Oh, how were you at that time?"
Feng Suqin held back her laughter and gave a dry laugh: "I was in pain for a whole night when I gave birth to her, and now she treats me like this, how could I give birth to such a heartless thing!"
Ye Tianhui: "That's it, you are her biological mother, it's only natural for you to ask her for money. If you really want it, then you can chase her. She will always have a relationship with other people. At this time, you chase her and pester her. She is afraid that you will embarrass her, so she will give it to you naturally."
Feng Suqin originally didn't have the courage. In fact, she was afraid and guilty. Now hearing what Ye Tianhui said, she hurriedly said: "Okay, I know, then I'll ask her for it!"
Ye Tianhui looked at Feng Suqin and smiled: "That's right."
Ye Wenyin was already feeling very anxious because of Feng Suqin, so let her feel uncomfortable anymore.
**************
At this time, the second wife was so angry that her face turned blue. She gritted her teeth and said, "What does your father mean by this? Is he going to give her the entire family property? She is just a girl!"
She couldn't understand: "Your father used to favor the third son, so I didn't say anything. He is the legitimate son, and your father is partial to him. What can I do? But now, should a little girl be ranked ahead of you?"
Ye Lizhen was also helpless: "Mother, please be patient. Now is the time to use her. What's wrong with giving her some sweet treats? When our Shatin project is implemented, we will naturally think of other ways to get her out."
The second wife He sneered: "I feel uncomfortable seeing how successful she is now. How can I feel good? Your father wants to give the entire family business to her! And Ye Yibai is getting close to your father now. They are going to unite to deal with us!"
Ye Lizhen: "Ye Yibai has already married, so this is nothing..."
Second wife: "And Wen Yong, does he know whose grandson and whose son he is? Is he helping outsiders?"
Ye Lizhen also had a headache: "Mother, the overall situation is more important. Our key now is to obtain the construction rights for the Sha Tin Racecourse. How long can this little girl run around?"
The second wife narrowed her eyes: "And what about Feng Suqin? What's the point of keeping her at home? She only knows how to ask for this and that all day long. What's the point of keeping her at home?"
Ye Lizhen: "Mother, we don't need to worry about such a person. Just let her be."
However, the second wife had an unpleasant expression: "I feel unhappy when I look at Feng Suqin, and you feel unhappy too. Can we get rid of her, just send her away casually?"
Ye Lizhen looked embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "Feng Suqin still can't be sent away, she is the one Ye Tianhui wants to keep, I heard that Ye Tianhui's subordinates have been watching her these days, and she can't be easily moved."
The second wife reacted violently: "She is watching Feng Suqin? What does she want to do? I don't think she has any mother-daughter relationship with Feng Suqin!"
Ye Lizhen was also a little surprised: "Mother, this is nothing, right?"
The second wife also felt that she had lost her composure.
She took a deep breath: "Can't we chase her away?"
Ye Lizhen: "If we chase her away, we have to bypass Ye Tianhui, or let Wen Yin take her out and let her live with Wen Yin?"
The second wife frowned even more: "Is this Wen Yin useful or not? Didn't they say that she should be used to tie down the child of the Gu family? Have they reached that point?"
After hearing this, Ye Lizhen hurriedly said: "I was just about to discuss this with you in detail."
**********
Lin Jianquan defeated Nie Pingqi, which was a great victory for Ye Tianhui's horse racing team, and Lin Jianquan basically had no major obstacles in the future. He only needed to concentrate on preparing for the final race.
The Ye family was preparing for the upcoming birthday banquet. At this time, the Ye family was in full swing. Naturally, all the guests invited to the banquet were the top celebrities in Hong Kong.
Ye Tianhui calculated that she had a lot of prize money from horse racing, plus the gifts from her aunt and the rewards from her grandfather. Now that her assets were stable, she could be considered a wealthy person.
In the next two days, the grandfather Ye also planned to take Lin Jianquan to attend the meeting of the Jockey Committee. To put it bluntly, he wanted to take Lin Jianquan to a formal occasion.
On this day, Ye Tianhui went to the racecourse. When the training was over, it was already late, and Lin Jianquan accompanied her to the parking lot.
She also mentioned the next plan to Lin Jianquan: "Next is to prepare for the final competition, but there are still some days, let Black Rose rest for two days, as for you, take a day off first, go back to accompany your mother, and wait until you are adjusted, then train hard to prepare for the final competition."
Lin Jianquan: "The sanatorium is closed at this time, I will go there early tomorrow morning."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay."
Lin Jianquan said: "The final competition " When the time comes, how do you want to arrange it? If nothing goes wrong, Black Rose and Hell King will both participate in the final race."
He paused and said, "If Zongwan also breaks in, then all three of our horses will participate."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "If the light can also participate in the final race, we will talk about it then. If it really doesn't work, we can borrow a jockey."
Lin Jianquan: "Borrow one? Who?"
He looked at her in surprise.
Ye Tianhui: "Let's talk about it then."
She looked at him. He had grown a little taller recently, and his skin was very white, which was a good-looking contrast to the black star.
She smiled and said, "On the contrary, you may have to spare some time to do other things in two days."
Lin Jianquan didn't understand: "What are you doing?"
Ye Tianhui said that she would help him take care of his image. When the time comes, she will accompany her husband to attend the internal meeting of the Jockey Club, and there will be reporters to interview him, etc.
She smiled at him and said, "I think your image is better than Ke Zhiming in all aspects. We have also hired professional image designers and photographers to take care of you and take pictures of you."
Lin Jianquan was a little surprised and looked at her in surprise: "Me?"
Ye Tianhui looked at Lin Jianquan's frowning face and suddenly wanted to laugh.
Since she first met Lin Jianquan, he seemed to be always dead, not lovable at all, and had no expression, but now, he actually looked surprised, as if she was going to sell him out. She smiled and said,
"This is just like what happened to Ke Zhiming before. If you become famous, you can't just ride a horse. You have to learn other things and try to interact with people." Lin Jianquan was silent for a while, then asked, "What about you? Will you go with us?" Ye Tianhui: "Of course." Lin Jianquan: "Okay." Ye Tianhui: "Don't worry, I will let Assistant Yang tell you everything by then. You just need to listen to him." Lin Jianquan: "Okay, I understand. I will follow your arrangements." Ye Tianhui nodded, and then said, "Now my grandfather is also very optimistic about you. In the future, when you have free time for training, Besides, I may often take you to some occasions, you have to learn to adapt and learn to deal with those people. " At this point, she sighed: "Anyway, people always have to learn, and you can't just deal with horses all your life." Lin Jianquan pursed his lips slightly: "Okay, I will try my best to adapt." Seeing him like this, Ye Tianhui's expression softened: "You work hard and develop in many aspects in the future, and we can make a fortune together. When I look at you now, I think you are a money tree." Lin Jianquan's expression paused: "Money tree, can you make money by shaking it?" Ye Tianhui smiled: "Yes."
Lin Jianquan also smiled: "Then can I ask you a question?"
Ye Tianhui: "Hmm?"
Lin Jianquan: "Have you forgotten? You clearly promised me that if I win, I can ask you a question."
Ye Tianhui then remembered.
She turned her head and looked over. At this time, the night was getting darker, and the silver moon was like a hook. In the huge horse farm, there were the faint chirping of insects and the shadows of plants and trees.
There was the sound of wind in her ears, that was the sound of flags hunting in the wind, and the barking of dogs in the horse farm.
The slender and handsome boy stood in the night, looking at her silently. Under the warm yellow light of the horse farm street lamp, there seemed to be light and shadow flowing in his dark pupils.
I don't know why, at this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became different.
Ye Tianhui pursed her lips slightly and said in a tone of pretending to be relaxed: "If you have any questions, just ask them. Can I not answer you?"
Lin Jianquan looked at her with gentle and serious eyes: "Can you ask anything?"
His voice was very hoarse, and in this hazy night, it gave people a strange feeling.
Ye Tianhui suddenly felt it.
The stars and the moon were boundless, and the horse farm was lonely. In such an unexpected moment, she suddenly realized what the boy in front of her might be thinking.
She tried to relax herself as much as possible and calm herself as much as possible.
Afterwards, she still smiled and said: "Well, I will naturally answer what I can answer."
Lin Jianquan looked at her sideways, and the tenderness and admiration in his eyes almost overflowed from his dark eyes.
Ye Tianhui was surprised, and she didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
This was something she had not expected.
Lin Jianquan: "I want to ask you--"
Ye Tianhui's heart was lifted.
Lin Jianquan said: "I noticed that you treat Teng Yunwu differently, can you tell me why?"
Ye Tianhui secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said: "Because it is my horse, of course I will be nice to it."
Lin Jianquan: "Don't other horses belong to you? Other horses are also under your name."
Ye Tianhui felt that the topic was not right, but still said: "This, this is of course different."
Lin Jianquan: "Why are they different? Don't other horses belong to you? Is it not as good as it? Why do you prefer it so much, why can it be different? "
Ye Tianhui thought for a while and said: "There can be thousands of horses of all kinds in this world, but there is only one Teng Yunwu, it is it, because it is Teng Yunwu."
Speaking of this, she became serious: "I just don't have any requirements for Teng Yunwu, this is unlimited indulgence."
Lin Jianquan slowly raised his eyelashes and his eyes fell on Ye Tianhui's face.
There was a rustling wind blowing, and Ye Tianhui felt that the eyelashes of the boy in front of her were trembling.
Afterwards, she heard him say in a hoarse voice: "Is it because other horses are not worthy? Because they are not qualified."
Ye Tianhui: "No, it's not that other horses are not good enough, but because they are not Tengyunwu."
After she said this, she saw the loss slowly welling up from Lin Jianquan's eyes.
But she looked at him and still said: "Sometimes, there is no right or wrong, no high or low, just because that person happens to be that person, and that horse is that horse."
Lin Jianquan pulled his lips and chuckled, and then whispered: "Okay, I understand."
