Jincheng Fengyun Empire Hotel is one of the most famous top hotels in Jincheng. It was booked out today. A banner was hung at the entrance of the hotel, which read: "The Lin Mansion has booked the hotel. Friends and relatives are welcome to come in!"
There were fifty tables in the hotel lobby, and all the people who were supposed to attend had already taken their seats. The place was bustling with people and the atmosphere was very lively.
Sitting at the head seat at the main table was Old Lady Lin, with Lin Haishan, Lin Li, Lin Zheming, Lin Xiaoyan, Lin Xiaojuan, Lin Haiwu, Li Guilan, Lin Dongliang and Lin Shanshan sitting on her left and right.
Sitting at the left and right tables were the closest relatives of the Lin family.
Hua Yuran, Long Ming, Hua Yufeng and Hua Yuzhi were arranged at the side of the second table closest to the main table. In addition to several other close relatives, there were also Zhou Tianbao and Lin Yanhong.
The atmosphere at the banquet was extremely lively. Most of the guests were in high spirits, with laughter and chattering echoing one after another.
Compared with the guests, the host seemed much quieter, especially Mrs. Lin and others. Although they had smiles on their faces, the table full of delicious food was rarely touched.
Especially Lin Dongliang and Lin Shanshan, the two of them sat there dejectedly, eating like chewing wax.
There is also Lin Li, who has a signature smile on her face and is always smiling no matter who she is facing.
But only she knows the pain in her heart.
Her son lost 100 million, and she became the one who had to pay for it for Old Mrs. Lin.
Ever since he sat down, Long Ming has been staring at Lin Haishan, Lin Li, Lin Zheming, Lin Xiaoyan and Lin Xiaojuan.
Hua Yuran also noticed his gaze, which lingered behind these people for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
There was a hint of inquiry in Long Ming's eyes.
"You siblings are related to Dad by blood. Lin Zheming's three siblings are just Dad's stepchildren. Why aren't we sitting next to Dad, but Lin Li's children are sitting there?"
"It makes people feel as if they are the biological children, and you were brought in by the stepmother?"
"To be honest, they all have the surname Lin. Dad and Lin Zheming look a bit like father and son."
Hua Yuran chuckled, "So, you're suspecting that the ones Lin Li gave birth to are Dad's biological children?"
Long Ming nodded, "Reasonable suspicion!"
"Brother-in-law, you're joking!"
Hua Yufeng sat on Long Ming's left, moved closer, and whispered, "Aunt Lin's ex-husband was called Lin Min. We met several times when we were little!"
"Like Aunt Lin, he was also a classmate of Mom's. When they got married, Mom was their bridesmaid, and there are many photos of them."
"When Aunt Lin gave birth to Brother Zheming, Mom was the first person to hold him, and the second person was his biological father, Lin Min!"
Long Ming was stunned. Is this really the case?
There are so many people with the surname Lin mixed together!
Hua Yuran agreed, "Yes, there's no doubt about that!"
"Not long after Aunt Lin gave birth to Xiaojuan, Lin Min went on a business trip and had an affair with a local waitress."
"The waitress came to our house and caused a huge quarrel. My mother even tried to mediate, but Aunt Lin couldn't accept it and chose to divorce."
Long Ming frowned slightly, "This forest dweller doesn't want children?"
Hua Yuran shook her head, "It's not that I don't want children, but I don't have the chance to have children!"
Hua Yufeng interjected, "While Auntie Lin and Lin Min were suing for custody of the children, Lin Min was stabbed to death in a robbery. Therefore, all three children were raised by Auntie Lin."
Long Ming suddenly realized.
Hua Yuran continued, "When mom was still alive, we also sat over there."
"In the three years since Mom passed away, Dad and Aunt Lin have been together. It was mainly because Grandma disliked the Hua family and asked us to change our surname to Lin, but I refused."
"So, grandma asked them to sit over there, and we sat over here."
Long Ming's gaze was still comparing the faces of Lin Haishan and Lin Zheming.
This shouldn’t happen!
He didn't know if it was a psychological reaction, but he actually felt that Lin Haishan and Lin Zheming's faces were becoming more and more similar.
He could even see the shadow of Lin Haishan on the faces of Lin Xiaoyan and Lin Xiaojuan!
Is this his illusion?
“Brother-in-law!”
Long Ming's thoughts were interrupted. He looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was Hua Yuzhi who was sitting next to Hua Yufeng.
Hua Yuzhi's face was not as swollen anymore. Noticing Long Ming looking at him, he smiled instinctively. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Long Ming.
"Brother-in-law, grandma is calling you!"
In the past two days, the scene of Brother Hu, who could fight ten people, being knocked away by Long Ming's punch, has repeatedly appeared in his mind.
I even dream about it!
This made him not only recognize his brother-in-law, but also worship him.
Hua Yuran stood up holding Long Ming's hand and walked to Old Lady Lin.
Old Mrs. Lin was a little impatient, but she needed to maintain her image in front of all her friends and family.
She still stood up, and the whole audience was silent, looking over here in unison.
"This is Yu Ran's husband, my grandson-in-law, Long Ming. I believe you all know him from the news."
"Today's celebration banquet was prepared for him. Because of Yu Ran, he was promoted to deputy general manager of Hua Group!"
Hua Yuran immediately corrected Mrs. Lin and said loudly, "Long Ming didn't become the deputy general manager because of me."
"He relied on his own abilities to reach a deal that would allow the Hua Group to rapidly take off, generating at least tens of billions in profits for the company annually. That's why he became the Deputy General Manager of the Hua Group!"
"Isn't that right, Dad?"
Seeing Hua Yuran asking, Lin Haishan had no choice but to stand up and admit, "Long Ming really got the position of deputy general manager based on his own strength!"
This made Mrs. Delin feel a little embarrassed.
She coughed twice and said, "Long Ming, everyone present here is the Lin family's close friends and relatives. Please just say a few words to them!"
"Applause!"
The whole audience gave a warm round of applause.
Long Ming took a step forward and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He looked around the room and didn't want to say anything extra.
"My becoming the deputy general manager may not be a good thing for you!"
"Because I will be implementing a plan to clear out mediocre people. All those who entered the Hua Group through connections rather than ability will be completely cleared out!"
"In addition, we will strictly investigate all illegal and disorderly activities and crack down on any behavior that infringes on the company's interests or enriches the company!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the relatives and friends who had been smiling just now, even Mrs. Lin, Lin Haishan and others, froze.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point and seemed a little too quiet.
What's the meaning?
Lin’s relatives and friends are so happy to come here to celebrate for him!
What a joyous and harmonious occasion!
Long Ming suddenly told everyone that the first thing a new official would do after taking office would be to burn his relatives and friends?
