Ye Xiaoxin and Su Xinwan, an aunt and a younger aunt respectively, also tried their best to make Xiaoxin happy.
There were so many toys and other items that they filled her small bed.
Ye Beiping and Tao Qiuyan were busy receiving guests who came to celebrate, most of whom were fellow villagers.
Until Tao Jianqiang, his maternal grandmother, and his uncle Tao Shengli arrived.
Ye Beiping finally had some free time to take a few people to see the children.
Jin Ming, the factory director of Jiangshan Brewery, and Yan Hua, the sales director, also came. There was nothing else to say; Jiangshan Beer's sales had been increasing for the past few months.
The original plan was to drink 500 liters of beer a day, but now I need 1,000 liters a day, and sometimes that's not enough.
They had also been to Hangzhou and discovered that the Xile Hotel now requires queuing.
Especially with the arrival of summer, Ye Beiping suggested starting a late-night snack business, which made the Xile Hotel even more popular.
The arrival of a barbecue chef brought the beer-drinking event to a climax.
They even plan to open branches in other districts of Hangzhou in a few months, which prompted two senior leaders of Jiangshan Brewery to congratulate Ye Beiping on the birth of his daughter.
Ye Beiping held the banquet at the construction site of the newly built villa. He had previously laid the foundation on a full acre of land, and apart from the villa's footprint, he had filled in the rest of the area with cement.
So nearly a hundred tables were set up on a whole acre of cement ground.
Whether there are that many people or not, there are still at least a hundred tables.
Tao Qiuyan also said that Ye Beiping was wasteful.
But when the day actually came, Tao Qiuyan was shocked. Not only did the whole village come, but people who knew Ye Beiping before also rushed over after hearing the news.
The reason is obvious: everyone wanted to make money with Ye Beiping.
Just as the midday banquet was about to begin, an elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged man with a square face arrived at the scene.
This made Ye Beiping even more delighted.
"Commander, Secretary Jin, what brings you here?" Ye Beiping hurriedly greeted them, thinking that his invitation had only been delivered to the gatekeeper and not to the two of them, so he assumed they hadn't seen it.
In addition, time was of the essence.
It was just a polite invitation; I never expected such a high-ranking leader to take time out of his busy schedule to come to a small mountain village like Pingba.
Jin Aiguo patted Ye Beiping on the shoulder and laughed, "You rascal, it's been so long, I thought you'd forgotten about this old man."
"This..." Ye Beiping scratched his head awkwardly, "How could I dare? I even went to town to look for you during the New Year, but the gatekeeper said you weren't home, so I had to leave."
"Is that so?" Jin Aiguo frowned.
Just as he was about to call the guards over to ask them a few questions, Ye Beiping stopped him: "Let's not discuss this issue today. Let's take our seats first."
"good."
Jin Aiguo agreed, planning to ask again when he got back.
Secretary Jin Shengli, standing beside him, shook his head helplessly, knowing that someone might be in trouble when he returned today.
On the surface, Jin Aiguo seemed indifferent, but in private he was indeed very concerned about the young man Ye Beiping.
Otherwise, Kim Seung-ri wouldn't have gone to Xtep stores to buy shoes.
As a provincial party secretary, even if he doesn't buy clothes and shoes himself, his secretary will take care of it.
The full moon banquet began, and Ye Beiping had just gone on stage and said a few words.
"Dear relatives and friends, fellow villagers, leaders, and officials, good afternoon."
puff!
Upon hearing this, the leaders below nearly choked to death.
What are the terms "big leader" and "small leader"?
Could it be that some important leader has come today?
At this moment, the somewhat narcissistic Jin Ming raised his head, thinking that Ye Beiping was talking about him. Who among them had a higher status than him? He was the director of a state-owned factory.
Even if a country boy does very well, knowing the factory director of a state-owned factory is probably the highest level of leadership he can reach, right?
Ye Beiping ignored the commotion below and continued speaking:
"Today is my daughter's one-month celebration, and it's also the day the roof beam of my new house is raised, so we've decided to hold this banquet together to celebrate with you all."
"I didn't expect so many people to come today, but I know what your purpose is. If you're still interested, I'll explain it to you one by one later. But I want to make a statement here today as a heads-up."
These words caused everyone to exchange glances, not understanding what Ye Beiping was trying to say.
The scene instantly erupted into a noisy commotion.
Kim Aiguo was also full of curiosity. The baby's full moon celebration was being turned into a personal speech. He whispered to Kim Seungri next to him, "Seungri, what is this kid up to?"
"I don't know either," Kim Seung-ri said with an awkward, wry smile.
He, a secretary, couldn't even see through Ye Beiping, a businessman who was only a young age.
Ye Beiping paused for a moment before saying, "My mother and wife were very worried about my business outside. I also promised them that I would return to Pingba Village as soon as I had earned enough money. That's why I built this villa. But please rest assured, we have written down the names of everyone who came today. When I return to Pingba Village, it will be the time when I lead Pingba Village out of poverty."
These words shocked even Kim Seung-ri.
What?
Can one person lead an entire village out of poverty?
It's not that no one has ever done it, but such people are extremely rare.
The others were also very serious. Even Tao Qiuyan and Su Xinyi were so shocked that their mouths were agape. They had never heard Ye Beiping mention this before.
