Xishan Villa
Shen Kun looked at Chen Fang.
"Third Uncle, you're a bit domineering today. You're usually so amiable, why are you so irritable today?"
Shen Fang Ge You is lying on the sofa.
"Chen Lan has already betrayed us, is there any need for me to be nice to her anymore?"
"Third Uncle, you're asking for 800 million all at once. Can the people behind Chen Lan come up with that kind of money?"
Shen Fang leaned back on the sofa.
"No problem. Those who have been smuggling cars for so many years and have been entrenched in the coastal area, if they don't have this much wealth, what are they talking about acquiring? Don't worry about it. Whether I sell or not is not a big deal for me. I don't care about this little bit of money. Is the venue for the apprenticeship banquet ready?"
Shen Kun took out two bottles of ice-cold beer and handed one to Shen Fang.
"It's all prepared long ago, with 108 tables arranged. Cigarettes, alcohol, dishes, and gifts are all ready."
Shen Fang nodded: "That's fine then. Tomorrow is not only my and Qianqian's apprenticeship banquet, but also a good opportunity for Longteng to make a name for itself. We can also show our strength to the media companies in Beijing."
"Is the gift ready?"
Shen Kun nodded: "The framing has already started, but Uncle, will Teacher Chen like the gift you gave him? Goodness."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, he'll definitely like it."
The next day at 9:30 AM.
Beijing International Hotel.
A huge banner was hanging directly outside.
"The banquet where Liu Tianxian of Shenfang became Chen Daoming's apprentice".
Flowers and a red carpet have been laid out at the hotel entrance.
It's that simple and straightforward.
A long line had already formed outside, and reporters swarmed in, armed with their cameras and microphones, ready to collect photos of celebrities in exchange for payment.
Shen Fang, Shen Kun, Liu Tianxian, Liu Xiaoli, Chen Jinfei, Chen Daoming, Chen Daoming's wife Du Xian, the two have a daughter, but she is studying in the UK.
Chen Daoming, dressed in a long gown with a red flower on his chest, smiled broadly. Du Xian, also dressed in a cheongsam, smiled as she looked at Shen Fang and Liu Qianqian.
Shen Fang was dressed in a custom-made black suit, his hair slicked back, and he was exceptionally handsome.
Liu Qianqian wore a custom-made white princess dress, had her hair permed, and wore light makeup. With her angelic beauty, she truly looked like a fairy.
Shen Fang put his arm around Chen Daoming's shoulder.
"So, teacher, are you impressive enough?"
Chen Daoming smiled and said, "The scene is certainly impressive, but your purpose in becoming my apprentice is not so simple."
Shen Fang offered cigarettes to Chen Daoming, Chen Jinfei, and Shen Kun.
"Teacher, it's alright for your apprentice to use your resources, right? Besides, what is my status? I'm the young master of Liangpin Shop, a major shareholder of Tencent, the founder of Feilong Novels, and the owner of Qiaojiangnan. The apprenticeship ceremony definitely needs to be grand, otherwise my underlings won't be willing."
Chen Daoming was speechless: "Then you didn't need to make such a big fuss by setting up more than 100 tables and inviting the media over. I was put on the spot by you."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I even prepared a big gift for you today, Master. I'll give you a surprise later."
Chen Daoming nodded: "I'm waiting for your gift, kid."
A Mercedes pulled up, and several people got out. They were Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, and Zhang Tielin, with a young man who looked very much like Zhang Guoli beside them.
The four walked down the red carpet.
Chen Daoming led the group to greet them.
"Guoli, Lao Wang, Lao Zhang, oh, this must be Xiao Mo."
Zhang Guoli laughed and pointed at Chen Daoming.
"Daoming, you've really gone all out today! Taking on a disciple at the Grand International Hotel, wow. You've really spared no expense. We only came to support you after receiving your message while we were filming."
Chen Daoming pointed proudly at Shen Fang: "Thank you everyone. My newly accepted apprentice, Shen Fang, is a rich tycoon. I only need to provide one person for this matter. Today, he and Qianqian are the main characters."
Wang Gang looked on with amusement at Shen Fang and Liu Tianxian, who were standing beside Chen Daoming.
"The young man is really handsome, and the young lady is even more beautiful. Old Chen, you're something else! Where did you find these two apprentices? They're a perfect match, not bad at all."
Chen Daoming said smugly, "This is a long story. You guys go in first. There are some snacks and fruits prepared inside. I'll join you in a bit."
Shen Fang looked at Shen Kun.
"Xiao Kun, lead Teacher Chen and the others in."
Shen Kun nodded.
"Teacher Chen, Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhang, come with me."
Zhang Guoli and three others followed Shen Kun into the venue, only to be stunned by the scene as soon as they entered.
Good heavens, there are at least 200 tables and chairs packed tightly together. And there are all sorts of service staff standing around.
Zhang Guoli looks like Shen Kun.
"Are these all for today's banquet?"
Shen Kun nodded: "That's right. We specially set up 108 tables today. You three teachers can sit at table number 3."
Shen Kun led the four people to table number three.
The table was filled with snacks from Liangpin Shop, various fruits, 10 cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes, and Moutai liquor. Each seat also had a large gift box.
Wang Gang's appearance is jarring.
"Guoli, what kind of physique does Daoming's apprentice have? Wow, the stuff on this table alone must cost several thousand. Tsk tsk."
Zhang Guoli was also bewildered: "I don't know, but looking at the outfits of that young man and that young woman, they're not like ordinary people. Goodness, this is a bit too high-class, this isn't Daoming's style at all."
...
The second wave included Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Feng Kuzi, Wang Jinhua, Geng Le, Hu Jun, Lu Yi, Ke Lan, Ren Quan, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Li Lianhua, Fan Xiaopang, Huang Xiaoming, and others from Huayi Brothers.
