Chapter 1000: The Wind Brings a Wave
Cheng Zicheng walked up a few steps and said to Cheng Zitong, "Third brother, this way."
Cheng Zitong looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I won't get lost."
He didn't notice that when he walked out, his senior brother Qiao Linhu, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be secretly relieved when he saw that he didn't look at him.
Cheng Zicheng led him and Xiao Ke to a seat with the second generation. There were also two nephews and nieces of the Cheng family who were about the same age as him, as well as some other relatives, some of whom were close relatives, while others were distant relatives from many generations away. Everyone at the table was talking and laughing, and there was no restraint at all.
Maybe it was because everyone was living similar lives now, or maybe they felt sorry for each other, but when they saw him coming, the people at this table didn't care at all about the strange looks from others who kept looking at them, and they all came up eagerly to greet Cheng Zitong, which was a bit more humane than in the lobby.
After Cheng Zitong sat down, he pulled Xiao Ke and said, "Sit down. This is the rule of the Cheng family."
Xiao Ke sat down angrily, "Brother Tong, I thought this time would be an exception."
Cheng Zitong chuckled and said, "Who says it's not?"
After Cheng Zhou asked Cheng Zitong to sit down and leave, he asked someone to bring up a plate of purple gold dates and put one on each table.
Fan Shoulu, the principal of Yangzhi Wuyi School, who was sitting on the side, glanced at the dates, then looked at his senior brother, shook his head, but didn't say much.
At this time, a middle-aged man sitting on the seat sat up straight, as if he had received some news from the world. Then a look of joy appeared on his face, and he said something to the outside.
"Oh, you're here?" The old men present were suddenly cheered up and looked happy.
The middle-aged man came to Cheng Zhou and got permission. After a while, he walked outside and saw several people who looked like technicians coming over. Then, under everyone's gaze, they moved a round plate to the middle of the hall.
After a few adjustments to a field device that had been set up above, it was started up, and then a light curtain was lowered from it, forming a three-dimensional field screen.
The screen faces all directions and can be seen from every angle. After a while, the screen flashed rhythmically a few times, and a blue sea appeared inside.
At first, everyone didn't think anything of it and just thought it was some program being broadcast. However, as the camera turned, they found that the viewing angle was actually from a very high place, and it seemed that they could see a very vast island from it.
Someone recognized it immediately, exclaimed, and said excitedly: "That's the Gaoting Tower on Haidong Road! This is on Haidong Road!"
"Is it Haidong Road? Skyline?"
"Is this the scene from Haidong Road?"
"I know Gaoting Tower is the highest point on Haidong Road."
The Haidongdao Gaoting Tower is about 250 meters high and is built on Weigong Mountain, the highest mountain in the Gongying Islands. It is undoubtedly the tallest building in the entire archipelago. There is a sky garden on it. It is also the place with the densest biological population and the best signal.
At this time, more than a dozen young people appeared on the screen, and the faces of the two in front were familiar to many people.
"Isn't that Lao Wu and Lao Ba? Yes, no wonder I didn't see them today, so they are there."
"You don't know, right? The Cheng family and our family are going to build a fighting gym in Haidong Road, and they and a few other guys are going there to scout out the way."
Both young men were wearing festive birthday attire. They smiled and bowed to the front, saying, "Third Grandpa, we are in the central city of Haidong Road. We are here to wish you a happy birthday with the help of the light that has just connected the skyline. Together with all the younger generations, we wish you a long and healthy life!" As they spoke, they bowed to the front.
The younger generations who came later to participate in the establishment of the martial arts school all bowed together and said birthday wishes in unison.
Cheng Zhou couldn't help but nod: "Okay, that's thoughtful."
A woman in her forties at the table said through Jie Ping, "Third Grandpa, they can also come here to celebrate your birthday. Even though they are thousands of miles away, they can feel like they are right next to you."
Cheng Zhou nodded repeatedly.
He looked at his niece who worked in the city patrol technical room outside the hall and said, "Xiaoyun, you arranged all this, right?"
Cheng Xiaoyun quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Third Grandpa, how dare I make this decision? It all came down to First Grandpa and Second Grandpa. I'm just a pawn at best."
Cheng Zhou looked at the screen and said with emotion: "Technology is very important. We can't use old ideas."
Although he is very disciplined, he is not old-fashioned in some aspects. He can even be said to attach great importance to technology, especially implant armaments. He is willing to accept implants for the next generation of disciples who have no talent.
However, he has very strict control over talented children, because once he relaxes, most of them will not have the self-discipline to practice martial arts, and will take shortcuts. Then, starting a family will not be a good start.
Most of the people present didn't think as far as he did, they just wanted to have fun and watch the excitement.
However, many people can see that the skyline was only officially launched by the Government Affairs Office yesterday. It is considered a high-end thing for many people. It was only open to the public for one day yesterday. The old man’s family can use it to celebrate the birthday today. How much face does this give the upper class?
People always say that the old Cheng family does things in an old-fashioned way and strictly adheres to old rules. Now it seems that this is not the case. The old Cheng family is quite willing to accept new technologies. Not only does they accept them, they are also ahead of many people.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing old martial artist's clothes walked out on the screen.
The younger generation of the Cheng family introduced, "Third Grandpa, this is Mr. Sancheng Huang. Mr. Sancheng was very helpful in making it possible for us to celebrate the birthday here smoothly this time."
Sanchenghuang bowed to the front of the screen.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng. I am a disciple of Langtao Pavilion in Sanchenghuang. I currently work at Fusion Boundary Company. I heard that Mr. Cheng is celebrating his 80th birthday, so on behalf of Langtao Pavilion and Fusion Boundary Company, I would like to extend my congratulations to Mr. Cheng."
Langtao Pavilion...
Everyone present who knew about it was shocked. That was one of the three major overseas museums, and there was a sword master there. It was said that he was currently the stationed fighter of Haidong Road.
Cheng Zhou was also a little surprised. He raised his hands and clasped his fists solemnly: "Mr. Sancheng, thank you for your help and your company. I also thank you for your birthday wishes. I am a little overwhelmed by your honor."
San Cheng Huang bowed and said very seriously: "Mr. Cheng is worthy of it."
At this moment, a screen suddenly split open on the world, revealing a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor. Those who knew him immediately recognized him as Cai Zhaoyin, the newly appointed Vice President of Wuyi College. He smiled and bowed, saying, "Mr. Cheng, on behalf of Wuyi College and President Yao, I, Cai, wish you a happy birthday."
"I don't deserve it."
Cheng Zhou's expression became serious, and he raised his hand to return the greeting.
He felt that he deserved the birthday celebration from Wuyi College. After all, he had taught students there, and some of the teachers there were still his students.
However, he had never met Yao Zhiyi. Because he was stationed in the fusion area all year round, he basically never appeared in the central city, so there was no question of whether they had any friendship. Moreover, fighters would not deliberately make friends with the people below them. The two sides were not on the same level.
Cai Zhaoyin said with a smile: "Well-deserved, well-deserved."
Cheng Zhou was about to say something when suddenly a message came from the world. He was startled. Not only him, but many people present who worked in the city patrol and processing bureau, including Ni Qianqian and Liu Yin, all shouted at the same time. They were startled at first, and then stood up from their seats.
Cheng Shang and Fan Shoulu both looked at Cheng Zhou, waiting for his decision. Cheng Zhou took a deep breath, looked outside, and said loudly, "Open the main gate! All members of the Cheng family, follow me to welcome you!"
After saying that, he and the rest of the Cheng family walked out quickly. When they reached Cheng Zitong's table, they stopped and paused for a moment before saying, "Xiaotong, come together." Then, he walked forward.
After Cheng Zitong and the others had passed by, he slowly stood up and gestured to Xiao Ke, "Xiao Ke, let's go." Xiao Ke realized something and threw the chicken leg he was gnawing on the table. He wiped it with something and suppressed his excitement, "Okay! Brother Tong!"
Xiao Jing, who was sitting at a table to one side, saw the elders walking out and then saw Liu Yin standing up. She also quickly stood up, eyes wide open, and asked, "Brother Liu Yin? What happened?"
Liu Yin's breathing quickened for some reason. "Don't ask, just follow me," he said, and he began to walk out. The others, though unaware of the situation, followed him out. After most of the guests noticed what was happening, few stayed put.
After a while, about five or six hundred people rushed out together.
Fortunately, the open space in front of the mansion was large enough, so so many people only occupied a corner in front of the door.
Then they saw rows of fully armed guards and security personnel standing in the parking lot and on the road. Xu Chan, the investigation director of the processing bureau they were familiar with, was standing in the front in uniform, talking to several people.
Those people were also in uniform. Anyone from the Defense Department could recognize them at a glance. They were deputy directors of the Defense Department. They were all staring at the watches on their wrists and looking at the sky from time to time.
This scene shocked them. After a while, everyone heard the sound of propeller blades. Cheng Zhou and the others looked up and saw an airship approaching from a distance amid the bright night lights of the central city. When the guards saw the airship, they all turned around and stood at attention facing that direction.
The guests who were able to arrive here today all had good eyesight and could clearly see the design of the airship, which had the emblem of the Fighter Council on it. This was an exclusive airship belonging to the fighters. In the central city, apart from Yao Zhiyi who seldom appeared, there was only one other person who owned this airship. Most of the people present couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.
The airship was traveling very fast and soon arrived close. At this moment, a figure appeared on the high terrace, but it seemed like just a flash of light, and the person appeared on the ground and walked towards here from the far end of the intersection.
The man wore a wide-brimmed hat and a Defense Department uniform. The copper buttons and epaulettes on his coat sparkled in the light surrounding the airship. As he walked over, his coat lifted slightly in the night breeze, and a bright red scarf fluttered in the wind like a blazing flame.
The guards and armed personnel on the road all stood up straight and saluted.
Xu Chan, the head of the investigation, and several deputy directors of the Defense Department all saluted him as he approached, saying, "Director!"
Chen Chuan nodded, raised his hand in return, and then walked forward alone along the open road under the gaze of everyone. He did not go directly to the front, but walked directly in front of Cheng Zitong, lightly stepped his heels together, bowed slightly, and said, "Teacher, I wonder if I am late?"
Cheng Zitong's round face behind his sunglasses was filled with suppressed excitement. He smiled and said, "How could that be, Xiaochuan? I know you're always punctual."
Chen Chuan raised his head, looked at the mansion in front of him and the people standing below, and said, "Today, I am here with you to celebrate Mr. Cheng's birthday."
