According to Chinese customs, whether it is relocation, wedding or funeral, an auspicious day must be chosen. Moving into a new company also requires a good day. After three days, it is auspicious to move, get married, bathe, and travel. The relocation date of the new company is thus set.
The new company officially moved into the new office building. Su Nuan planned to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, invite some guests, and notify newspapers and media to publicize it.
Su Nuan was thinking about who to invite for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After careful consideration, Su Nuan started writing down a few names.
On the list are: Mayor Wang Hongwei, Commander Lu Ming, Chairman Xiang of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, Director Zhang of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and Minister Liu of the Ministry of Commerce.
Including myself, there are six of us in total, which is about right.
The invited guests had high social status, covering the military, politics, and business. With the publicity from several newspapers and media, the Su family was able to make a big splash.
After finalizing the guest list, Su Nuan called to invite them one by one. Mayor Wang and Commander Lu had always been very supportive of Su Nuan, so when they heard Su Nuan's invitation, they agreed without thinking too much. Director Zhang of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and Director Liu of the Ministry of Commerce also happily agreed after learning that the mayor would attend. The last person invited was President Xiang of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.
The Xiang family is also a well-known capitalist family in Shanghai. Earlier, it was also a well-known red capitalist. At that time, the Xiang family and the Su family were equally powerful, but the Xiang family was stronger than the Su family in that they had many descendants. There were people in the family who served in the military, engaged in business, and engaged in politics. During the turbulent period, the person in power in the Xiang family acted decisively and donated almost half of the family property. He also announced the closure of all business shops in response to the country's call for collective planned economy. In addition, the family descendants were protected by their descendants who were engaged in politics and the military. The Xiang family survived the turbulent period in peace.
Su Nuan had great admiration for the person who was in charge of the Xiang family at that time. The patriarch of a large family must have both skill and courage. The current person in charge of the Xiang family, who is also the current president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, is the son of the old patriarch. Su Nuan met the current head of the Xiang family at the Lantern Festival party. At that time, Su Nuan had a good impression of the gentle and elegant president Xiang. She heard him say that he and her father were good playmates when they were young, but they had not seen each other since the Su family immigrated.
At that time, President Xiang also told Su Nuan many interesting stories about Su's father when he was young. President Xiang even treated Su Nuan as his own nephew. Su Nuan had wanted to visit him before, but was busy later and delayed it. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to visit him today.
Su Nuan first called the Xiang family, and the person who answered the phone was a worker at home.
"Hello, I'm Su Nuan from the Su family. May I ask if President Xiang is home today?"
"Hello, Miss Su, our president is at home, please wait a moment."
Soon, President Xiang answered the phone and spoke gently.
"Hello, is this Su Nuan?"
"It's me, Uncle Xiang. Are you free at home today?"
"Yes, you have something to talk to me about."
"I've been saying I'd visit you for a while now, but I've been busy lately. Now that things are almost done, I thought I'd go see you."
"Okay, just come over. I told you the address last time, remember?"
"I remember. I'll be there in an hour. See you later."
As a younger generation visiting an elder, one needs to prepare some gifts. Su Nuan went to the secret room in the study, rummaged around, and prepared a few presentable gifts. After taking them out, she called Chen Meirong to pack them, and then she went back to her room to dress up.
After Su Nuan had packed herself up, Chen Meirong had already prepared the gifts. She called Johnson and Jack, and the two of them drove to Xiang's house with the gifts.
The Xiang family is a large family, so their residence is twice as large as that of the Su family. It is also a combination of Chinese and Western styles. When you drive in from the gate, the scenery in the courtyard is very exquisite and beautiful, and you can tell at a glance that it is well-served.
The Su family's courtyard, after being taken care of by the family workers, has begun to take shape. However, it is still far inferior to the Xiang family's courtyard. After all, the Su family has been abandoned for more than 20 years.
The car stopped at the main building gate, and President Xiang was already standing at the door waiting.
Su Nuan got out of the car and greeted President Xiang.
"Uncle Xiang, I'm sorry for being so rude. I'm visiting you just now."
"Hahaha, no, no, I'm very happy that you can come and see me. My master heard that you are coming today and wanted to see you."
"Grandpa Xiang? Is he in good health?"
"Alas, I'm old and have some problems, but I'm in good spirits. Come with me, the old man is waiting for you."
"OK"
Su Nuan followed President Xiang into the Xiang family's living room.
A white-haired old man was sitting on the tea table next to the window on the right side of the center of the living room. The old man was sitting on a chair, making tea with skillful technique. The boiling water was steaming, and the old man sitting by the window gave off a somewhat immortal and Taoist atmosphere.
President Xiang was the first to call out to the old man.
"Dad, Su Nuan from the Su family is here to see you."
The old man stopped making tea, slowly looked up and said with a smile.
"Oh, Su's Xiao Nuan is here? I haven't seen her yet. Come over here and let Grandpa Xiang take a look."
Su Nuan walked slowly forward and saluted the old man.
"Grandpa Xiang, I'm sorry for coming so late after returning home."
The old man waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. I heard from your uncle Xiang that Su Nuan from the Su family did a lot of things after returning to China. He is a good child."
"Grandpa Xiang, I know you like drinking tea. I have some tea leaves from old tea trees here. Would you like to try it?"
"Oh, tea leaves from an old tea tree. How old is this tea tree?"
"It's hundreds of years old. Can I make you some to try?"
"Okay, okay, let's try the good tea that Xiao Nuan brought today. You're so polite. Sit down too, and let's try it together."
