Chapter 75 Charity Dinner
The first time Zhao Xinzhi felt that Zhao Shunian had truly grown up and would not listen to him was from that marriage.
The Lianji acquisition case came to an end some time ago. Zhao Shunian showed with his great achievements that even if everyone thinks he is on the wrong path, he will turn the wrong path into a broad road and turn it into the right path.
Zhao Xinzhi thought Shunian had really escaped his control. He could only drag his dying body and watch the grandson he had raised getting farther and farther away from him. He didn't even know what Shunian had done behind his back.
When he first sent people to investigate Yu Yin, he had no idea that she had worked at the scanner and that she and Shunian had spent some time together. He only found out later by chance that Shunian had hidden this part of her life and that the people investigating had concealed it from him.
Zhao Shunian knew that Yu Yin would be his marriage partner because someone was investigating him, and he didn't want Zhao Xinzhi to know that he had had contact with Yu Yin before.
He hadn't heard from Yu Yin for a long time and didn't know how she was doing. Zhao Xinzhi asked someone to check on Yu Yin, thinking there must be a reason, so he asked Zhuang Jie to find out about Yu Yin's recent situation.
Zhao Shunian then learned that Yu Yin was Liang Lisheng's daughter and what she had experienced during that time. Liang Lisheng was planning to marry her to him...
Zhao Xinzhi thought that Shunian was his eldest grandson who had high hopes for him and had not let him down. He was also the blood of the Zhao family. He should not hinder Shunian. The resentment in his heart was suppressed and then disappeared little by little.
Zhao Xinzhi looked out the window again, and Secretary Fang followed his gaze and said carefully, "Do we need to give Miss Lian a warning?"
Zhao Xinzhi raised his hand slightly. "No need. Let's see how my granddaughter-in-law handles it. If she doesn't handle it well, I'll just treat it as Shu Nian raising a canary to cheer himself up."
Then Zhao Xinzhi pressed the remote control, and the curtains slowly closed. "It's almost time, let's go downstairs to meet the guests."
Secretary Liu paced at the door of the study, wondering what Zhao Xinzhi and Secretary Fang were talking about inside. They had been there for a long time. When would he be able to enter the study and be alone with Zhao Xinzhi and truly gain Zhao Xinzhi's trust?
Secretary Liu heard the door open, stopped pacing, and followed Zhao Xinzhi and Secretary Fang downstairs.

After Zhao Xinzhi’s birthday, the charity dinner hosted by the Zhao family also arrived.
On the day of the dinner, Yu Yin had her hair tied up and wore a nude pink satin long dress. She was adorned only with simple and elegant jewelry, which made her look elegant and cool, attracting the attention of everyone present.
It was only after Yu Yin asked Lana for her opinion that she decided not to wear the teardrop diamond necklace.
Yu Yin held Zhao Shunian's hand and greeted the guests, and everyone thought they were a perfect match.
In addition to Zhao Xinzhi, who has not appeared in public for a long time, Zhao Shunian, who has been very popular recently but still keeps a low profile, was also present at the dinner.
Many heavyweights were invited to attend the charity dinner.
The number of admissions to the charity dinner is limited, but many people keep trying to use their connections to take advantage of the opportunity to get in.
Mr. Lin, who had met Yu Yin once at the golf course, also used his connections to allow him to enter the golf course with Mr. Qin, an old client with whom he had a good relationship.
He saw Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian, and listened attentively to their introduction. He thought in his heart that what Ye Fengjia said was true, she was Zhao Shunian's wife.
Zhao Shunian finally had some free time and no one blocked his way. Yu was not with him at the moment because she had other social engagements.
Mr. Lin thought he had finally found his chance. He walked towards Zhao Shunian with a glass of wine in his hand, his attitude full of undisguised flattery, as if he was not the one who laughed at Zhao Shunian on the golf course that day.
When Zhao Shunian heard the man in front of him praising him like a god as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't wait to reveal his purpose, promoting his own company and wanting to cooperate with him.
Half a minute passed. Zhao Shunian was not interested in Mr. Lin's project, nor did he want to waste time on this man, so he was about to leave.
Mr. Lin quickly said, "Actually, Mrs. Zhao and I have some connection."
Zhao Shunian gestured for him to continue.
"Mrs. Zhao and I are friends with a schoolmate who has a good relationship. His name is Ye Fengjia, and he works at Qingshan Capital. We met at the golf course in May."
Mr. Lin and Ye Fengjia were purely partners, but sometimes a partnership could also be described as a friendship; they knew each other and had had many interactions. He believed that Ye Fengjia would not undermine him.
Zhao Shunian's eyes darkened for a moment. He was wondering which ex-boyfriend it was, and whether Yu Yin hadn't liked him enough to let her have no scruples. Now he knew it was his first love.
Yu Yin wasn't just quick to withdraw from him; she was also quick to withdraw from her first love. That was just her personality. Inexplicably, Zhao Shunian felt mentally balanced.
Zhao Shunian didn't say a word to General Lin. His silence at this time didn't let General Lin notice anything unusual. When he came to his senses, General Lin was still trying to get close to him and Yu Yin.
Zhao Shu nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand." Then he left without caring about Mr. Lin's reaction.
When Mr. Lin caught up with him again, he could no longer speak to Zhao Shunian because someone else had come to see him.
Mr. Lin wanted to interrupt them and was about to take action, but Mr. Qin reacted in time and stopped him.
President Qin pulled President Lin aside and said, "If you want to cooperate, then offer attractive conditions. What you said just now was insincere, and I think you are a useless speculator. And if you want to use connections, you should use the right methods and find an intermediary. Can anyone trust your words?"
Mr. Lin regained some consciousness and nodded repeatedly, "You are right."
………
After the warm-up cocktail party, it was time for the speeches. In the past, it was Zhao Xin who gave the speech, then it was Zhao Yunbin, and this year it was Zhao Shunian. This was his first time as the speaker at a family charity dinner, foreshadowing the repeated changes in the people in power in the Zhao family, which now fell into Zhao Shunian's hands.
Zhao Shunian discussed the Zhao family's charitable initiatives over the years and their effectiveness, then gradually recounted his personal experiences with philanthropy. He was inspired by the words and deeds of his family elders, and shared unforgettable experiences participating in charitable activities with them as a child. He also discussed his experiences in a war-torn country when he participated in an international charitable relief effort at the age of eighteen.
Zhao Shunian gave an impromptu speech, which was not boring at all. It was very informative and meaningful.
Yu Yin was sitting not far from the podium, so she could clearly see Zhao Shunian on the stage. He could be described as high-spirited and unstoppable.
Yu Yin suddenly felt a sense of time and space confusion, as if she had returned to more than four years ago.
At that time, Yu Yin was a rookie, young and a little ignorant, and Zhao Shunian was in the pain of labor. If he couldn't get through this, he would become a puppet at the mercy of others, or he would break through and become a ruler who could not be controlled by others. He was at a crossroads in his life.
