Chapter 180
It can be said that birthday banquets for the heads of these big families, or wedding banquets for big families, etc., are held every year.
And they have tacitly become a disguised gathering of upper-class families.
Originally, before I, Shao Yuan, came to Handu, Nian Menghan would have been the main topic of discussion at this wedding banquet.
After all, Nian Menghan is the best candidate for daughter-in-law in the eyes of the entire upper class in Handu.
He has the looks and the abilities, and he also has the Nian family and Han Mingxuan as his backers.
Marrying her is like marrying two mountains of gold.
But after I, Shao Yuan, came, he became the protagonist.
After all, I, Shao Yuan, who spent 3 billion and didn't even want a discount, is really generous.
More importantly, I, Shao Yuan, am also a major shareholder of Hanmingxuan.
The identity behind this is very likely a prince of a certain country.
It's extremely mysterious.
He Jia and Lin Tianxing personally went out to welcome Shao Yuan and Si Yi in.
When Mr. He heard that I, Shao Yuan, had arrived, he stopped watching the show in the inner room and walked out directly.
When Dong Shijun and others heard that Shao Yuan was coming, they also followed him out.
I, Shao Yuan, did not expect that after I and Si Yi entered, a group of people immediately surrounded us and greeted us.
And most of them are unfamiliar.
Out of politeness, I, Shao Yuan, could only nod in response.
It was Si Yi who handled the situation in an organized manner and was much more adaptable than I, Shao Yuan.
Looking at Zhen Shao Yuan who was being flattered by a group of people, a middle-aged man in a blue suit and with a pale face not far away had a look of disdain on his face.
"What kind of prince is this from the Gold Mining Kingdom? He's probably just a peripheral member of the royal family. He can only pretend to be important in our Han Kingdom. He really thinks he's a nobody. Only an old man is so confused that he'd be fooled by him."
As soon as the middle-aged man said this, the people around him immediately looked at each other in confusion.
Originally, they all wanted to go up and say hello to me, Shao Yuan.
But after the middle-aged man said this, they gave up the idea of going forward to say hello.
He turned around and asked the middle-aged man curiously.
"Master Nian Si, are you saying that this Shao Yuan is the illegitimate son of the royal family of the Gold Mining Kingdom?"
"It doesn't look like it. If he really is a illegitimate child, there's no way they would give him so much money to squander."
The man known as Master Nian Si disagreed.
"The royal family of the Gold Mining Kingdom has always been famous for its wealth, but they place great emphasis on bloodline. Their royal family members are not allowed to marry outside the family. How could someone like me, Shao Yuan, possibly enter the royal family of the Gold Mining Kingdom?"
The Fourth Master Nian, whose name was Nian Mingzhang, was the fourth son of Nian Hongda.
He is already forty years old, but he is not doing his job properly.
He lived on the company shares given to him by the old man and the dividends.
I owed a lot of money from gambling some time ago, and I'm paying off my debts.
He actually teamed up with his two brothers and wanted to take control of the company while Nian Hongda was ill.
Nian Hongda was so angry that he almost died.
In the end, they had no choice but to drive the three unfilial sons out of the old house.
That incident caused a lot of uproar at the time.
Many families in Handu watched the excitement.
Finally, Nian Hongda released the news of the marriage and suppressed the scandal.
Although Nian Hongda was kicked out, the old man did not break off his relationship with him.
He is still a member of the Nian family.
My current status as Shao Yuan is equivalent to that of a relative of the Nian family.
Therefore, what Nian Mingzhang said seemed very credible.
As a result, the people around Nian Mingzhang believed what he said.
Started discussing.
"That's true. The royal family of the Gold Mining Kingdom does place great emphasis on bloodlines. However, I, Shao Yuan, don't look like a mixed-race. Your niece, Fourth Master Nian, however, clearly has mixed-race genes."
"If that Emperor Shao Yuan is indeed a peripheral member of the Gold Mine Kingdom's royal family, then your niece, Fourth Master Nian, is probably also a peripheral member of the Gold Mine Kingdom's royal family."
"Even if they're just a peripheral member of the Gold Mine Nation, they're still quite wealthy. Just look at this Emperor Shao Yuan. From the time he started live streaming to now, he's already squandered tens of billions of Han coins."
"Master Nian Si, why don't you go up and curry favor with your uncle-in-law? Maybe he can help you make a lot of money."
…
Don't be fooled by these people who keep calling him Fourth Master Nian.
But in fact, they look down on the seal of the year.
But on the surface I still respect him.
After all, no matter what this Nian Mingzhang is, he is still a member of the Nian family.
"Do I need to please him, Emperor Shao Yuan?"
Nian Mingzhang seemed to have heard some huge joke.
"It's just a mere 10 billion. The market value of any company in our Nian family is over 10 billion. Who the hell is Shao Yuan? He wants me to please him? You're dreaming."
"Besides, I, Shao Yuan, am only a member of the royal family. How many 10 billion can he afford to squander? I estimate that his entire family fortune is only worth that much. He should have squandered most of it by now."
Nian Mingzhang said he looked down on Shao Yuan, but in fact he was jealous of him in his heart.
Although he is the fourth master of the Nian family, the dividends he receives every year are only a few hundred million at most.
But he cares about his reputation, especially in front of outsiders, and he will never allow others to look down on him.
That's why he is so stubborn and wants to belittle me, Shao Yuan, and elevate himself.
However, he didn't know that although those people agreed with him on the surface, they actually looked down on him in their hearts.
After all, no matter how powerful the Nian family is, Nian Mingzhang is just a middle-aged rich second-generation who collects shares and lives a life of idleness and waiting for death.
I, Shao Yuan, don’t care about the name of the year, but some people do.
After knowing that I, Shao Yuan, had arrived, He Yiming immediately left behind his group of friends, ran up to me, and started chatting with me.
Ever since the auction ended, He Yiming has been very enthusiastic when he found out that Shao Yuan is Nian Menghan's uncle.
Unfortunately, Nian Menghan had something to do tonight and didn’t come.
He Yiming was a little disappointed at first.
But after seeing Zhen Shao Yuan, he was instantly revived to full health.
He also knew that my Shao Yuan family supported Nian Menghan last year.
In the end, it was Nian Menghan who personally sent Shao Yuan back to the B&B.
This is enough to prove that Nian Menghan values his uncle Shao Yuan.
That's why He Yiming is so enthusiastic towards Shao Yuan and wants to please his future uncle.
Unexpectedly, after just a few words, Mr. He and others came out.
He Jia brought Zhen Shao Yuan and Si Yi to her grandfather and introduced them, "Your Majesty, this is my grandfather, the star of today's birthday banquet. Grandpa, this is the friend I told you about, Zhen Shao Yuan, and the one next to him is his boyfriend, Si Yi."
I, Shao Yuan, smiled and said to Mr. He, "Mr. He has a rosy complexion and is very energetic. He doesn't look eighty at all. He is at most seventy. Right, Siyi?"
"Yes." Si Yi nodded in agreement.
"No way, you're flattering me." Who doesn't like being praised for being young?
Mr. He is no exception.
He smiled with great joy, looking up and down at Zhen Shao Yuan and Si Yi, and said, "Mr. Zhen and Mr. Si are even more outstanding than the rumors say."
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Si Yi presented the gift from Zhen Shao Yuan.
Many people gathered around, wanting to see what gift Shao Yuan was sending.
After all, my image in the outside world has always been that of a spendthrift.
I think the gifts brought to the birthday party must be very valuable.
As the grandson, He Yiming stepped forward and took the gift as soon as he saw the gift handed over by Si Yi.
However, when he saw the gift from Shao Yuan, he was stunned.
The gift that I, Shao Yuan, brought here is very simply packaged.
The painting was simply tied up with a red rope, and added with a can of tea in a transparent glass jar. This gift looked very simple no matter how you looked at it.
No, compared to other people's gifts, this is already shabby.
After all, there is not even any packaging.
I, Shao Yuan, don’t think there is anything wrong with my gift.
Smiling, he introduced, "I heard that Mr. He likes calligraphy and painting. Coincidentally, the owner of the B&B we're staying at is an amazing Chinese painter, so I arranged a painting for him yesterday. It was just finished this morning. It was a bit rushed, but I think it's very good. I wonder if Mr. He likes it."
He Jia and Lin Tianxing were both stunned when they heard this.
B&B owner?
The two immediately thought of the homestay where they stayed during the live broadcast of the program.
If this is a gift from me, Shao Yuan, could it be that it was painted by the owner of the B&B?
"oh?"
When Mr. He heard it was a traditional Chinese painting, he immediately became interested. While instructing He Yiming to carefully open the painting, he asked, "Could it be that the owner of the B&B is a top-notch traditional Chinese painting master?"
When others heard this, they also thought that this painting of mine, Shao Yuan, was painted by a top-notch master of Chinese painting.
Everyone leaned over, wanting to see the painting.
As a result, when He Yiming opened the painting, everyone was amazed by it.
Each of the cranes in the painting is lifelike and vivid.
But everyone always felt that something was missing.
Until Zhen Shao Yuan said: "The owner of that B&B is not a top-grade Chinese painting master. He has no rating, he is just an ordinary painter."
As soon as I, Shao Yuan, said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
"puff……"
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from behind.
Everyone looked over.
It was Nian Mingzhang who had just shown great disdain for Shao Yuan's arrival.
He said to Zhen Shao Yuan without hesitation, "Mr. Zhen, you may not know that this has no ratings and cannot be called a painter. This kind of painting, no matter how good it is, is worthless."
"Mingzhang..." The old man standing behind Mr. He glared at Nian Mingzhang and told him to shut up.
However, Nian Mingzhang ignored the old man's warning.
Instead, it aroused the rebelliousness in his heart even more.
He continued to say to Shao Yuan, "You gave Master He a worthless painting. Are you looking down on Master He, or are you looking down on the He family?"
The provocative meaning of this statement is very obvious.
However, many people present were surprised at first that Nian Mingzhang would embarrass me, Shao Yuan, in such an occasion.
Then I just held the mentality of watching the show.
I want to see how this play will develop.
