Chapter 53 Hongmen Banquet
The Teng family once had a glorious history, from Grandpa Teng Guoliang who founded the business from scratch to his father who worked diligently to develop and expand it, they have gone through many ups and downs along the way.
However, now, the family business that had been passed down to him was facing such a desperate situation! Thinking of this, Teng Canxun felt like his heart was being torn apart by a knife, and he was in great pain.
He picked up the wine glass on the table with trembling hands, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, trying to numb his broken heart with alcohol.
Perhaps only by getting drunk can he temporarily forget the predicament before him. Perhaps when he wakes up, he will find that all this is just a nightmare, and he is still the high-spirited leader in charge of the Teng Group, and the company has not fallen into such a difficult situation...
Song Chengshuang stared at the cell phone whose screen had gone out, his eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness. He silently said in his heart: "Lan family, wait and see"
It was as if a blazing flame was rising in his heart, or as if an ambition buried deep underground had finally broken through the ground and was quickly growing tender green new shoots.
At dawn the next day, sunlight poured into the room through the window, giving people a fresh and bright feeling.
At this time, Lan Ning received a call from Song Yunke. The other party expressed his desire to visit him in person. After Lan Yonggui learned the news, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. He decided to host a banquet for Song Yunke, a so-called "Hongmen Banquet".
This time, Lan Yonggui also specially arranged for his son Lan Yaoxia to attend.
He knew that doing so would not only allow Lan Yao and Xia Lu to show off their family's strength, but more importantly, it would send a message to the outside world - our Lan family is not to be trifled with! Anyone who dares to provoke us will pay the price!
Thinking of this, Lan Yonggui's eyes flashed with pride. He believed that as long as Lan Yaoxia could perform well at this banquet, those who originally coveted the Lan family would definitely stay away.
After all, no one wants to provoke a family with a strong background and powerful strength.
The banquet was packed with distinguished guests and was very lively. Lan Yonggui had put a lot of thought into hosting this banquet. He not only carefully selected the venue and dishes, but also specially invited some influential local company leaders to attend the banquet.
After everyone was seated, Lan Yonggui led Lan Yaoxia to leave the table, walked around the room, introduced his beloved son to everyone present, and let him get to know everyone. After completing this process, the father and son returned to their seats and sat down.
Not long after, Song Yunke also arrived at the scene. He walked into the banquet hall with a smile on his face and walked straight towards Lan Yonggui.
When he came closer, Song Yunke bowed and said, "Brother Lan, how are you? It's been many years since we last met, and you are still as elegant and dignified as ever!"
Facing Song Yunke's compliments, Lan Yonggui just smiled slightly, waved his hand, and responded: "Haha, Brother Song, thank you for the compliment! Come on, please take a seat! We are all old acquaintances, there is no need to be so reserved, and there is no need to say those polite words!"
Song Yunke heard this and said no more. He immediately found an empty seat at the banquet and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he quickly integrated into the atmosphere and exchanged greetings with other guests.
When his eyes fell on Lan Yaoxia who was sitting next to Lan Yonggui, Song Yunke's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to ask, "I think it must be your son, right?"
After receiving Lan Yonggui's affirmative answer, Song Yunke continued to praise him: "Ah, it's true that a tiger father will have a dog son! Brother Lan's son is really a young talent, and he is very handsome!"
Hearing this, Lan Yaoxia showed a humble smile on her face and replied softly, "No, no, thank you for the compliment! The elders in my family always say that I have an ordinary appearance, nothing special."
Song Yunke said modestly: "Uncle is telling the truth. Compared with your father when he was young, there are indeed some similarities. I even thought that you two were carved from the same mold."
Lan Yonggui responded with pride: "My child has been very well-behaved and clever since he was young. He can learn anything at once!"
As soon as the words fell, they immediately attracted the voices of agreement and praise from the people around them. For a moment, everyone praised Lan Yaoxia and praised her highly.
Then, Lan Yonggui continued, "Brother Song, your eldest brother Yunzhou's son is far from being good enough! He actually came to my Lan family just for a woman. What kind of thing is this?"
Lan Yonggui's words immediately caused the whole audience to burst into laughter, but only Song Yunke looked a little unhappy. He knew in his heart that Lan Yonggui was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
However, this was caused by his own nephew after all, and Song Yunke could do nothing about it. He could only force a smile and reply, "Alas, young people are always young and frivolous, and they have not experienced much. With more discipline and restraint, they will naturally become sensible."
After hearing this, Lan Yonggui simply said: "You are indeed not sensible enough..." There seemed to be some provocation in his words.
During the entire banquet, Song Yunke tried his best and walked on thin ice to handle the difficult questions raised by Lan Yonggui with ease.
He prayed in his heart that he would be thankful if he could turn the page on this matter smoothly, because he really didn't want to have another conflict with a difficult person like Lan Yonggui. You know, even his brother had suffered at the hands of this person!
After the banquet, Song Yunke got into the car in a hurry to rush back to Wuhan, fearing that any unexpected incidents would arise.
As soon as he got in the car, he quickly called his brother Song Yunzhou and told him that the incident had come to an end.
Song Yunzhou responded: "In that case, you should come back as soon as possible. If you continue to stay there, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."
Song Yunke echoed, "I understand. I'm on my way to the airport now. Lan Yonggui is indeed not someone you can easily mess with. Although he said that there's no need to talk about the past, if there's any misstep in the future, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous!"
"And according to what we heard at the banquet, his son is about to take over the group's affairs. If Cheng Shuang causes trouble for him again at this time, I'm sure he won't let it go." Song Yunke added in a serious tone.
At this point, Song Yunke's voice became heavier: "Brother! Cheng Shuang is a delicate and sensitive child who tends to think too much. You have to guide him more! I'm really worried that he will do something extreme in a moment of impulse..."
