The next morning, after practicing their skills, the seven of them stayed home and waited, none of them going out with Gu Chuanming and the other two.
At 8:30, Yang Lijun and Zou Haiyin arrived.
The two of them received a warm welcome from Xiao Wu and his two friends.
Xiaoqi introduced them. The two girls also learned the names of the remaining four children.
The two of them weren't very old either, so they were able to play with the seven of them.
When Xiao Wu saw Zou Haiyin carrying an easel, he quickly sent someone to find his great-grandfather and grandfather.
The two elderly people returned with smiles and greeted the two young girls.
"Great-Grandpa, I'm here to draw your portrait. Xiao Wu said he'd make sure I draw the most lifelike portrait of you."
"Hehe, okay, what do I need to do?"
"Great-Grandpa, you can just sit here."
Before Gu Chuanming could finish his painting, Liu Jingze arrived.
When Yang Lijun saw Liu Jingze, she was stunned for a moment. She knew that this was her boss from her previous life.
Xiao Wu keenly sensed Yang Lijun's thoughts and paused for a moment.
Liu Jingze sat quietly next to Xiao Wu, looking at the girl opposite him. She was alright, calm and composed. Zhenye's wife really couldn't be too petty. Although he didn't expect her to be extremely shrewd, she had to be presentable in every aspect.
His gaze didn't make her feel uncomfortable. Liu Jingze's opinion of her rose even higher.
About ten minutes later, Zou Haiyin finished her drawing, and the children all gathered around her. "Sister Haiyin, you drew so well!"
Gu Chuanming seemed quite satisfied.
Liu Jingze also came over to take a look, "This young lady is talented."
Xiao Wu then helped them with the introductions.
"Grandpa Zhang, can you finish your painting this afternoon?"
"Of course, you guys go out and have fun."
All nine children went out together, leaving only Liu Jingze and his two companions in the living room.
"Jingze, what do you think of these two girls?"
"Mr. Gu, I think it's alright. You have a good eye; this young lady, Zou Haiyin, is suitable for Yaozu."
"Hehe, what kind of vision do I have? I'm just impatient. If I can see the next generation of the Gu family while I'm still alive, I'll be content."
Liu Jingze was laughing on the side. You said back then that you would be content just to see Yaozu.
At noon, Zhang Hongmei came out of her study and warmly invited the two girls to lunch.
I originally planned to take them to the party tonight, but after thinking about it, I decided against it and will do it another time.
In the afternoon, Zou Haiyin also drew a portrait of Zhang Xingguo.
Xiaoqi held Yang Lijun's hand and said, "Sister Yang, my mom and the others are going to a party tonight, and my fifth brother is going too, so it'll be the six of us left. So, you have to cook for us tonight."
"No problem, I'll make you some hand-pulled noodles tonight."
"Sure, none of the six of us are picky eaters."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Lijun and Zou Haiyin took the six children back to the Yang family home.
The remaining five people washed up at home.
Wang Ying called and said, "Hongmei, you can arrive after six o'clock. I've called Erya, Luyue, and Hanmei, and they're all coming over. We also want to meet them."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled; this is what a woman with a son looks like.
Xiao Wu went into the study alone. "Mom, Yang Lijun told my godfather today that Uncle was talking about his boss in his past life."
"Yes, you can talk to your father about this."
Xiao Wu, many people have secrets. You can hear other people's thoughts, so you need to learn to filter some things.
Mom is worried that you'll be too tired in the future and won't be able to handle it emotionally.
Xiao Wu nodded, "Mom, I only pay attention to this future sister-in-law. I don't have the energy to serve others."
"Yes, you'll have to adjust on your own. God gave you this special ability as a sign of His care for you, so my darling, you need to learn to make choices and cherish it."
The family of five set off at 6:30 a.m., with Gan Lu accompanying Zhang Hongmei this time. Liu Jingze accompanied Xiao Wu.
I arrived at the venue at six o'clock, and the banquet had already begun.
The five of them entered the venue, and everyone was watching them.
This is the first banquet hosted by Madam Zhang. The number of people who have actually met Zhang Hongmei can be counted on one hand. Therefore, there are an unusually large number of people attending the banquet today, all eager to meet Madam Zhang.
Zhang Hongmei attracted everyone's attention, and everyone sighed in their hearts. Even they, as women, had to admit that the lady was perfect.
Of course, some people were jealous, especially Wei Tongtong.
She came with her aunt today. Looking at this woman, my heart is twisted with jealousy.
Zhang Hongmei and Xiao Wu have exceptionally strong senses, and they immediately sensed Wei Tongtong's malice.
Xiao Wu glanced at the woman; it was because of her that his parents were having a fight.
Zhang Hongmei knew of Wei Tongtong, but had never seen her picture. She had just glanced at it and thought she was just an ordinary woman. Suddenly, anger surged in Zhang Hongmei's heart. Zhang Shouyi's use of such a woman was a disgrace to him.
Wang Ying and the others immediately came over, especially Han Mei and Lu Yue, who separated from Gan Lu and stood guard by Zhang Hongmei's side.
On this occasion, Zhang Hongmei felt she had to introduce herself. Standing at the front desk, microphone in hand, she gave a brief self-introduction.
Because of what happened earlier, she was in a bad mood, so she spoke very briefly.
Wang Ying sensed Zhang Hongmei's feelings, took the microphone, and introduced the main purpose of the banquet.
Those below, seeing the smiling lady on the side, all felt they should get acquainted with her later.
After so many years of experience, Wang Ying has become very tactful, and this occasion is really no problem for her.
"Alright, I won't say any more. Let's begin our dinner. In an hour, we'll have our auction. All the items up for auction are sponsored by the Madam, the leaders, and the chiefs. All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross."
I hope everyone has a great time today.
Several women who were close to Zhang Hongmei immediately gathered around with the girls they had brought with them and introduced themselves to Zhang Hongmei.
At this moment, Xiao Wu and his father Liu Jingze were on the side. Xiao Wu was a sucker for good looks, so he listened to the thoughts of the pretty girl.
Zhang Hongmei smiled throughout, responding gently to the ladies who came to greet her.
Therefore, she left a very good impression on many people.
Zhang Hongmei paid special attention to the girls she had a crush on and made a mental note of them; this would require further investigation later.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo sat to one side. Due to their high status and the presence of bodyguards, those who came to greet them were mostly people with whom they had some connection. Strangers also wanted to come over, but they hesitated.
