This day is Mai Laosan’s 60th birthday.
As the country's richest man in the open, he must have some fun.
Mai Laosan decided to hold a seven-day banquet in Lianhua Village.
No matter who it is, as long as they say a lucky word, they can come in and have a drink, which is quite generous.
For a time, Lotus Village was filled with distinguished guests.
Every household in Lianhua Village hung a banner to congratulate Mai Laosan on his 60th birthday.
It was not Mai Laosan's request, but the villagers' spontaneous initiative.
Not only that, it seemed that all the villagers from the surrounding villages had come.
Many people from other provinces also came, and some even came by helicopter. It made the whole place so grand and lively!
No matter how well Mai Lao San prepared, the village banquet could not accommodate so many people at one time.
But no one minds. It’s good to come and take a look and get to know each other.
After returning, they can brag to others that they have attended the birthday party of the richest man in the country.
It would be best if we could get a group photo!
Even if you stand in a corner and only half of your face can be seen, it is still a very face-saving thing.
Today's Lotus Village is completely different from what it used to be because of its world-famous Lotus Factory.
When the village wanted to build a road before, it was Mai Laosan who took the initiative to find the county government and promised to bear half of the cost, and only then did they agree.
Now the county has allocated direct funds to replace the original cement road with an asphalt road, and has also repaired all the roads around Lianhua Village. This is really proactive!
Of course, Mai Lao San was also very knowledgeable and took the lead in investing in several large-scale projects promoted by the government.
When others saw that the Lotus Factory had joined in, they followed suit and invested, which immediately revitalized the county's economy.
In just a few years, Xiangxi County has developed from a poor county into a national economic benchmark city. The county government leaders have won so many awards that they would smile even in their dreams.
All the important leaders in the county came to celebrate Mai Lao San’s birthday, giving him enough face.
As Mai Lao San's brothers, Mai Xiangdong, Mai Xiangnan and Mai Xiangbei naturally had to come out to help greet the guests.
And the other members of Old Mai's family, one by one, were all busy.
Song Hewei is Mai Laosan's right-hand man and has worked in the Lotus Factory for many years.
Later, Mai Lao San also gave her some stock options, and now she is considered half a member of the Mai family.
The entire banquet, from the selection of dishes to the security arrangements, was almost entirely arranged by Song Hewei.
She was a little tired, but she enjoyed it and smiled so brightly that if you didn't know her, you would think she was hosting a wedding banquet today.
After being released from prison, Chen Chien mingled in the crowd, watching Song Hewei's busy figure from afar, feeling filled with emotion.
But he didn't go up to say hello, nor did he talk to Shen Xingchen.
Because Chen Chien no longer has the vigor and vitality he had in the past, and years of imprisonment have made him look particularly weathered.
However, the most important thing is inner inferiority.
Song Hewei and Shen Xingchen are both successful in their careers and have happy lives now, but he is still alone and can only do odd jobs to get by.
Thinking back, they had gone to the countryside together, but their current circumstances were vastly different. Just thinking about it made Chen Chien regret it.
Thinking of this, Chen Chien turned around and left silently.
Song Hewei suddenly had an idea. She turned her head to look at the crowd and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
The man was hunched over, one of his legs was obviously shorter, he walked with a limp, and was dressed very poorly. He looked even worse than Wang Er from the village.
The smile on Song Hewei's face paused for two seconds, but she said nothing and continued to greet the guests.
Shen Xingchen, who was not far away, actually also saw Chen Chien.
He originally planned to go up and ask about the other party's recent situation, but Mai Sui suddenly told him that he had something to do. When he came back after finishing his work, the person had disappeared.

Lin Shuhua and Mai Lin also heard the news and rushed to Lianhua Village to attend Mai Lao San's birthday party.
Mai Xiangbei also saw them. Although he didn't chase them away, he didn't show any special enthusiasm either.
It’s not that Mai Xiangbei was soft-hearted, but mainly because he didn’t want to create unnecessary trouble and confusion on such a beautiful day.
After all, there are so many big leaders on the scene. If you bump into someone, the other party won’t blame you, but it will still have a bad impact.
A few years ago, Lin Shuhua still fantasized about reconciling with Mai Xiangbei.
She always felt that the age gap between Lin Ranran and Mai Xiangbei was too big, and once the novelty wore off, there would definitely be problems.
By then, she will be able to take over in time.
But what she didn't expect was that Mai Xiangbei and his wife had a very good relationship and there was no chance for her to interfere.
And she didn't dare to do anything stupid again, because Lin's father and mother, as well as Lin Ye, came to "blackmail" Mai Xiangbei last time and are still hiding inside.
I have to say that although Mr. and Mrs. Lin are already old, they can still be quite active.
Lin Shuhua didn't want to follow in their footsteps, so she had to be honest and not act rashly.
But today is Mai Lao San's birthday, so Lin Shuhua wanted to come over and show her face. Even if she can't reconcile with Mai Xiangbei, maybe she can get some benefits.
She now washes dishes in a small restaurant. She is so tired every day that she can't even straighten her back, but she can only make ends meet.
If she had not left Mai Xiangbei, she would be the one sitting there drinking tea and chatting with the big bosses.
It’s a pity that there are no ifs in this world.
Mylene is married and has children. Her husband is her former "boyfriend number five". Their life is not bad but better than most.
Over the years, her relationship with Mai Xiangbei has been neither good nor bad.
The couple often did some small business outside under the name of "Mai Xiangbei".
Mai Xiangbei occasionally heard about it from the agents below, but he did not cut off the livelihood of Mai Lin and her husband, after all, they were his biological children.
As long as Mai Lin doesn't act up and doesn't mess around with Lin Shuhua, Mai Xiangbei is willing to turn a blind eye.
Mai Lin knew it in her heart, so she always adhered to the bottom line and did not cross Mai Xiangbei's red line.
This time, Mai Lin originally didn't want to come, but she was afraid that Lin Shuhua would cause trouble. If she was implicated, it would be terrible!
So, Malin came along and kept an eye on Lin Shuhua, trying to prevent her from getting carried away and doing something excessive.
With Malin watching over her, Lin Shuhua naturally didn't get anything done. After dinner, she was pulled back to continue washing dishes.
In fact, with Mai Lin's current financial situation, it is not a problem for her to support Lin Shuhua.
But Mai Lin didn't want to do that. She always believed that it was Lin Shuhua's fault that she fell into her current situation.
Lin Shuhua blamed Meilin for not stopping her at the beginning. The two blamed each other and shirked responsibility.
I'm afraid there will be no solution in this lifetime.
