Chapter 160 "Turning the Tide"
In the noisy banquet hall, only the old man on the stage still had his eyes closed and rested, as if the surrounding noise and bustle had nothing to do with him.
Mr. Xie looked calm and composed from beginning to end, which made many people around him grit their teeth secretly.
Of course, this also includes Xie Kaiwen, who has been sitting next to him.
A flash of viciousness flashed across the middle-aged man's drooping eyelashes, and when he looked up again, he had put on his dull and filial look again.
"grandfather……"
Xie Kaiwen wanted to wake up Mr. Xie: "Look, it's already this late, everyone is getting a little impatient..."
The man's tone was a little anxious and urgent, but he stopped abruptly when he met Mr. Xie's suddenly cold eyes.
Seeing this, Mr. Xie withdrew his gaze with some disdain.
Mr. Xie was not wrong about the person.
His eldest grandson still likes to do these things that are not presentable as always.
However, the old man did not say these words in the end.
Seeing that the banquet hall was becoming increasingly noisy and the atmosphere was gradually becoming uncontrollable, he finally opened his eyes, straightened his sleeves, and prepared to say something before going on stage.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of the banquet hall, which was originally closed, was suddenly opened from the outside.
Everyone only heard a "bang" sound and subconsciously looked towards the door in the direction of the sound.
It turned out to be Jiang Wenzhou and Jiang Qingyan who had been absent before, followed by a group of senior management leaders of Jiang Group.
Jiang Wenzhou did not wear his usual flashy and fashionable clothes today. He and Jiang Qingyan each wore a dark high-end suit.
The matte satin clothes, coupled with the two people's outstanding looks and temperament, quickly became the focus of the crowd as soon as they appeared.
One is a master strategist, the other is aloof and elegant.
At just one glance, the eyes of many wealthy women or young ladies in the banquet hall lit up.
Some people couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God, could these two people be the two young masters of the Jiang family?"
"I've only seen her in magazines and videos before, but I didn't expect her to be a hundred times prettier in person!"
"I heard that these two are still single. Aren't they definitely bachelors?"
“…”
However, amidst the exclamations of admiration, some clear-headed people raised questions.
"But didn't the news just say that the Jiang family is in trouble right now? How can they still be here?"
"Yeah, looking at the people following behind them, they seem to be senior executives from the Jiang Group, right? Could it be that the rumors are actually false, and the news is also fake...?!"
Several people were whispering to each other when Jiang Wenzhou, who was walking in front, suddenly seemed to notice something and looked over here.
He was born a demon, and now his fox eyes looked even more intimidating under the bright overhead light. Everyone who was caught in his sight couldn't help but hold their breath.
But it was only a moment, and Jiang Wenzhou calmly withdrew his gaze.
The originally noisy banquet hall also became quiet at this moment.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the man who was the focus of everyone's attention walked up to Mr. Xie leisurely without any sign of shyness or stage fright.
"Thank you, old man."
His resounding and calm demeanor completely dispelled the suspicions of everyone present in just a turn.
"My younger sister and Mr. Xie are in love and are planning a marriage. I didn't know about it much earlier than you did, so I'm a little late. I hope you can forgive me."
"My parents are on their way here right now, but they asked my second brother and I to pass on a message: since we are in-laws, our Jiang family's dowry must go somewhere..."
Jiang Wenzhou hinted at something, and Jiang Qingyan cooperated by taking out the dowry list he had prepared long ago. He also calmly read out the list beside him: "One real estate property of Tianhao Group, one property of Yayu Auto Company... Two properties in Jiancheng Community in the central urban area of Beijing, and 5% of the shares of Jiang's headquarters..."
With every line of words Jiang Qingyan read out, the people in the banquet hall couldn't help but gasp.
The reason is simple, except that Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan are in a free love relationship.
The contents of the Jiang family's dowry are really too shocking.
The Jiang family gave all of the well-known enterprises and properties not only in Beijing but also in the whole country as dowry to Jiang Wanning.
Even the 5% stake held by the Jiang family in the end was so terrifying. How many people dreamed of something that could not be bought with money, but they actually gave it away. It was enough to show how much the Jiang family valued this daughter who rarely appeared in public.
It can be said that she is the apple of everyone's eye, and it is not an exaggeration.
For a moment, everyone present had different expressions on their faces, especially those who had initially threatened that the Jiang family was about to collapse. Their faces were now extremely pale.
As the second brother finished speaking, Jiang Wenzhou met Xie Kaiwen, who was hiding behind Old Man Xie with an increasingly ugly expression on his face.
"Mr. Xie...ah no, this should be Uncle Xie."
Jiang Wenzhou smiled like a fox that had stolen some meat, his cunning eyes flickering at this moment.
"Xie Shao's father, this is probably our first meeting. I wonder what you think of the list we gave you?"
Xie Kaiwen: “…”
Jiang Wenzhou and Jiang Qingyan's actions are almost as good as engraving "They lack everything but money" on their foreheads.
But at this moment, he pulled Xie Kaiwen out from behind Old Man Xie and brought him in front of everyone.
This undoubtedly put the Xie family on the fire.
The Jiang family has given so much, so the Xie family, as the groom's family, naturally cannot go back on their word on this marriage. At the same time, the betrothal gift they give must not be less than their dowry.
Otherwise, his Xie family, a powerful and noble family with nearly a hundred years of family heritage, would become a joke in front of everyone at this moment.
Jiang Wenzhou had undoubtedly never thought about having a good ending after doing things to this extent.
Compared with the other party's calmness, Xie Kaiwen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Liu Zhiyi behind him was so anxious that he kept winking at him. The two of them, who were originally confident of victory and were waiting to watch the show, seemed to be thrown into panic at this moment by Jiang Wenzhou's unexpected move.
"I……"
Under the same watchful eyes of the crowd, his and the Jiang brothers' two completely different reactions were naturally seen by Mr. Xie.
A cold arc appeared on Mr. Xie's lips again: "Since the Jiang family is so sincere, how can my Xie family not have such respectable people?"
"I've made this public decision today. Yan Chuan is the most outstanding of the younger generation in my family, and he was also the only heir that my old man had originally designated after Gui Hexi passed away."
"As long as he is willing to befriend your Jiang family, my Xie family will add another 30% to the original dowry as a betrothal gift."
When Mr. Xie said this, the already noisy banquet hall was filled with even greater shock.
If another 30% is added to the Jiang family's original dowry, that would mean giving away almost half of the Xie family!
It can be said that Mr. Xie is worthy of his name, he is generous when he spends money!
But before everyone could finish being shocked, Mr. Xie calmly took the cup of water handed to him by the person next to him and took a sip slowly.
"but."
"After all, I have shown my sincerity. I have not even met the future daughter-in-law of your Jiang family yet."
"For this engagement banquet, we can't just talk here. We have to watch the two newlyweds to get things done, don't you think, Mr. Jiang?"
