Chapter 370 Who Gives Gifts to Jewelry Stores
The Huo family hasn't been this lively for a long time!
A luxurious cruise ship was docked at the cruise terminal in Haicheng, its deck decorated with flowers and balloons. This cruise ship was Huo Xingzhou's eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age gift, the Blue Sea and Blue Sky.
The waiters were busy coming and going, preparing champagne and decorations.
This birthday party was no less expensive than Xu Xingluo’s, and was even more extravagant and shocking!
Take the gangway up and walk into the grand banquet hall.
The lights were bright, like stars shining through the sky. There was a faint floral scent in the air, mostly white roses and champagne roses, with baby's breath scattered among them.
The long table in the dining area is covered with white tablecloths. The dazzling array of delicious food is dazzling. Each dish is a carefully matched work of art that makes people salivate just by looking at it.
The most amazing thing is the huge castle cake in the middle of the banquet hall.
It is two meters high and carefully made of fondant, which is gorgeous and dreamy.
The cost of this cake alone is as high as one million. It can be seen that the Huo family is very satisfied with this young lady!
Night falls.
The bright moon rises over the sea.
The lights dotted all over the cruise ship lit up one by one, almost lighting up half of the night sky.
The parking lot at the cruise ship terminal was also filled with luxury cars. Guests, accompanied by their female companions, were invited to attend the banquet in their gorgeous gowns.
This was a banquet hosted by Huo Xingzhou himself.
When they entered the room, they were all amazed at the Huo family's wealth and the castle cake in the middle of the banquet hall.
This is probably the biggest cake I have ever seen in my life.
It must have taken a lot of thought.
Even those knowledgeable people like them couldn't help but take photos and post them on their Moments to show off, so that those who were not qualified to come to the party could see the Huo family's handiwork. By the way, they asked the waiter which bakery made this cake so that they could follow suit and make one for the next birthday party.
It must be very face-saving!
Some of the female companions brought in by the big boss even took selfies in front of the huge cake.
Du Juan and Huo Jiancheng helped to entertain the guests. She talked about Qiao Xi every other sentence and praised her daughter-in-law to everyone she met.
All the famous figures in Haicheng are here.
The Yang and Ye families were all present, and even Ye Zhimeng was dressed up to attend. I wonder why she hasn't been sent abroad yet!
The Sun family and the Huo family are good friends, so they cannot miss this event.
Du Juan saw the Liu family coming over, and the warmth on her face faded a little. It was Liu Zongyun who asked for the Liu family's invitation, and they all came!
The whole family was rushing around, and there was a baby in the arms, babbling, staring with its big round eyes as if it had never seen such a world before.
In front of the child, Du Juan didn't act too harshly and just said, "Please come in."
Liu Huimin pushed her second brother, Liu Zongyun, into the banquet hall and found the registration desk. She handed over a sealed leather document: "Liu family chain jewelry store."
This is a gift for Qiao Xi, something Xu Xingluo had tried so hard to get.
The person in charge of registering the guests' gifts was Mr. Jin from Tianyuan Group. He rubbed his ears and said, "What did you say?"
"The jewelry store's gift agreement will take effect immediately as soon as Qiao Xi signs it."
“Wow!”
Jin Kai covered his chest and almost couldn't breathe.
Several guests nearby were stunned when they heard this.
The Liu family's ancestral jewelry store embodies the heritage of their ancestors, which spans hundreds of years. Some of the items are priceless, making it impossible to estimate the value of the entire jewelry store, let alone its branches nationwide.
Who gives gifts and ancestral heritage?
Are you crazy?
"Are you sure you want to give these things to our young lady?"
Liu Huimin confirmed again and again: "I'm sure! I'm not crazy, my mind is normal."
"Please wait a moment, I need to ask our young lady and Mr. Huo for instructions." Jin Kai couldn't decide to accept such a big thing.
Liu Huimin ignored him, put down the brown paper bag and walked in. The rest of the Liu family had no objections, as the jewelry store was originally meant to be handed over to the Liu family's daughter.
Jin Kai held the brown paper bag and felt it was heavy in his hand.
He stood up and walked towards the lounge on the second floor.
…
Rest room on the second floor.
Qiao Xi sat in front of a large dressing mirror, letting the makeup artist do her makeup. Huo Xingzhou was by her side, while Huo Sijiao and Shu Xue were praising her. Qiao Xi had never endured such a long and arduous time before, having woken up at six in the morning to be dragged through a skincare routine.
She also tried on several dresses with Huo Sijiao and Shu Xue.
When Jin Kai knocked on the door, Huo Xingzhou stood up and walked out.
He closed the door gently, stood in the corridor and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Huo, the Liu family is here. They gave this to you. Please open it and take a look. I don't dare to accept such a big gift." Jin Kai handed over the brown paper bag.
Huo Xingzhou opened the document bag and saw the jewelry store donation agreement inside.
He chuckled softly, "You're quite willing to spend a fortune."
"you do not say!"
Jin Kai asked curiously, "I've never seen such a gift. How much is the Liu family's jewelry store worth?"
I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to earn that much money even if he worked since the Qin Dynasty.
Huo Xingzhou's tone was very calm. "Someone once estimated the value of the Liu family's jewelry store, but that was ten years ago, and it was nearly three billion. But the value of the jewelry collection is increasing year by year, and it's hard to calculate anymore."
Wealth to this extent cannot be measured in terms of money.
How many senior collectors want to take a look at the jewelry store that has been passed down from the Liu family? It is not open to the public and is a treasure house.
Huo Xingzhou flipped through a few pages and discovered that the Liu family had also given the jewelry store chain derived from the jewelry store to Qiao Xi.
It can be considered very sincere.
"Boss Huo, should we accept this gift or not?"
"Let's put it aside for now. Let Qiao Xi decide for herself after the banquet."
"OK."
Jin Kai said casually, "When the Liu family sent the gift, I was surrounded by many guests. They must have heard about it. Mr. Huo, this matter cannot be concealed."
"Don't hide it, just let it go."
"OK."
When Jin Kai came downstairs with the brown paper bag, he heard some guests talking about how the Liu family might have given Qiao Xi a jewelry store as a gift in order to repay her kindness. It was truly outrageous.
…
The night grew darker.
Just before the banquet began, a Cullinan with a Beijing A license plate stopped at the cruise terminal.
Wan Jiang ran to the back and opened the rear door: "Mr. Zhong, Ms. Xiang, please get out of the car."
Mr. Zhong wore a light gray suit that accentuated his demeanor. His features were already handsome, and his eyes were even more captivating. He got out of the car first, inching toward Mingzhu, and gracefully exited.
She originally didn't want to come to Qiao Xi's birthday party.
But Master Zhong said he needed a female companion.
Xiang Mingzhu didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, so she volunteered.
What's more, she had received a piece of inside information and was determined to come to the banquet to see the excitement.
"Mr. Zhong." She pinched her voice, so soft that it seemed to drip water.
She was wearing a backless tube dress and slowly reached out her hand towards Zhong Yi, wanting to hold his arm.
Zhong Yi naturally avoided the question and said, "Mingzhu, our relationship cannot be made public for the time being. Please be mindful of the impact in public."
Xiang Mingzhu almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
