Chapter 27 Engagement in Progress
Listening to the old man Zhang Fushan talking about his business philosophy over the past decades, Zhang Junfeng nodded from time to time to show his approval.
According to the old man's thinking, this way of operation is indeed the most stable and labor-saving. If there had not been the financial crisis that swept across Asia next year, perhaps his own lending company would have been able to transform into a respectable commercial bank in a few years?
But it's not a big problem. With the memory of his past life, he can not only avoid these risks perfectly, but also take advantage of the situation, turn those crises into opportunities, and continuously strengthen his own strength! "I understand. By the end of next year, I will prepare a huge gift for you!" Zhang Junfeng nodded and smiled at Zhang Fushan, and his mind was more determined!
…
A few nights later, the central area of Seoul was extremely lively.
A large number of cars drove towards the towering building in the distance. This was the Shilla Hotel, which was owned by the Five Star Group.
Not only is its appearance magnificent, but the magnificent lights flashing at night make people notice its existence at a glance.
The waiter led us to the spacious banquet hall, where the interior decoration was extremely luxurious, and every detail revealed nobility and elegance. The marble floor was as smooth as a mirror, the crystal chandeliers were dazzling, and the artworks were dotted around, making people feel like they were in a palace.
A large number of guests were invited here to attend the engagement ceremony of the daughter of the chairman of the Five Star Group, including many important figures in the political and financial circles, and important members of large companies and chaebol families.
Zhang Junfeng was wearing a well-fitting black suit. Under the introduction of Li Jianxi and his wife, he greeted the visiting guests one by one. However, there were so many guests that Zhang Junfeng could only remember a few dozen of the more important ones.
Among these people, some are also competitors of the Five Star Group in the business field, such as Daewoo Group and Hyundai Group. Although the head of the family was not present, the younger generations of the family were also invited and brought valuable gifts, which surprised Zhang Junfeng!
These companies were obviously competing fiercely in business, but why did they seem to be more like long-time friends in this matter? This puzzled Zhang Junfeng, a time traveler, but the more important thing now was to hold the engagement ceremony, and other troublesome things could be put aside for the time being! ...
As the host on the stage methodically promoted the engagement ceremony, Li Fuzhen and Zhang Junfeng, who were wearing purple evening gowns, got engaged successfully under the attention of everyone and exchanged engagement rings.
The elders, Mr. and Mrs. Li Jianxi and Zhang Fushan, respectively presented "valuable gifts" to the two young people.
This also made many people present envious, because Li Jianxi, the chairman of the Five Star Group, made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations! He appointed Li Fuzhen as the vice president of the Shilla Hotel, and she would officially join the company after she completed her studies in the United States.
If everyone else's faces were filled with envy, then the face of Li Zairong, the elder brother, had more worry than a fake smile.
Although he had predicted what his father might do at the engagement ceremony, he never expected that he would directly appoint Li Fuzhen as the vice president of Shilla Hotel. His father's thoughts were already "obvious"! But he was the eldest son of the Five Star Li family, and he would inherit the Five Star Group in the future. At present, he was only the president of a Five Star commodity company and a vice president. His anxiety became even worse...
After all, he has two younger sisters. Li Fuzhen got the position of vice president right after she got engaged. After they get married, the president of Shilla Hotel will most likely be given to her. This also means that his father will at least hand over the management rights of the two subsidiaries to these two sisters. When he thought of this, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe!
What he wants to inherit is the complete Five Star Group rather than the "half of the country" that has been gradually reduced after being passed down from generation to generation!
(Note: A few years ago, Li Jianxi's eldest and second brothers put their grandfather Li Bingzhe into prison in order to fight for the right of inheritance, but even so they failed to seize the management rights of the Five Star Group. Although Li Jianxi took the position of chairman, his eldest and second brothers led the group's subsidiaries to break away from the Five Star Group and start a new business! This also caused a great loss to the Five Star Group, and it took several years to recover.)
…
After the banquet, Zhang Junfeng and Li Fuzhen saw off the guests who came to congratulate them, then said goodbye to the Li family and returned to the hotel to rest.
On the way back, Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but complain, "Now that we're engaged, isn't it inappropriate to stay in a hotel? I remember that among the pile of real estate certificates I got from the old man, there seemed to be a few villas with good locations. How about taking some time to take a look?"
"If there's one you like, I'll have someone take a break and we can stay there, okay?"
Li Fuzhen nodded and did not object to Zhang Junfeng's proposal. She looked curiously at the black gift box on her knees. This was a gift given to her by Zhang Junfeng's grandfather, Zhang Fushan, a nearly 70-year-old man, at the ceremony. But what was in it? She was really curious.
"...Is it okay for me to open this gift?" Li Fuzhen glanced at Zhang Junfeng and asked for his opinion. They were not a real couple, so it would be more appropriate to respect each other's opinions on things given by their elders.
"No problem, the old man gives you the thing and it's yours..." Zhang Junfeng, who was drunk, had a red face. He was drunk and didn't care about teasing Li Fuzhen at this moment. He just wanted to take a rest against the soft backrest.
Li Fuzhen opened the gift box and found a dazzling diamond necklace, a pair of earrings, and an envelope underneath.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Hey, why is there such a thing in the box?!" Li Fuzhen was confused. When she took out the letter and read it, she found that these things were left by Zhang Junfeng's mother.
The letter said that Zhang Junfeng's parents had prepared this "special gift" as a gift for their future daughter-in-law after they had Zhang Junfeng. However, after they both died in a car accident when Zhang Junfeng was a child, the gift was handed over to the elder Zhang Fushan for safekeeping.
…
Li Fuzhen looked at the valuable and meaningful letter in the gift box, and a complicated expression flashed across her face. Zhang Junfeng agreed to let Grandpa give this thing to her, because he... fell in love with me? !
However, her guess did not get an answer, as the drunk Zhang Junfeng had already fallen asleep leaning against the backrest...
