Chapter 1108 Unexpected Guests
"Congratulations!"
Lin Feng smiled and bowed to Song Yangming to congratulate him. Lin Feng was a few months older than Song Yangming, but now Song Yangming was not only married, but also had a son.
On the contrary, Lin Feng is still single. His mother Luo Lin has complained a lot about this, but Lin Feng is not in a hurry at all. He says that he is not even 30 years old yet and there is no need to be so anxious. Besides, marriage is a big deal and he has to find a suitable one. It is better not to find one at all than to just settle for a makeshift one.
Rowling felt both angry and amused when she heard all these twisted theories. Lin Feng became impatient after hearing too much of them, so Rowling simply stopped mentioning them this year, which gave Lin Feng a lot of peace of mind.
Originally, Lin Feng didn't really care about marriage, but today when he learned that Song Yangming had a child and went to see his newborn nephew, Lin Feng felt a little jealous. They grew up together and were cousins, with a relationship closer than that of brothers. Now that Song Yangming not only has a family, but also a child, Lin Feng suddenly had the idea of starting a family.
In response to Lin Feng's congratulations, Song Yangming just kept smiling. He became a father overnight. The sudden change in identity gave Song Yangming a very subtle feeling, but more of it was the joy that accompanied the birth of the child.
Apart from Lin Yan and Song Yangming, the happiest ones were Song Zijun and Qin Wenchang.
One of them became an aunt and the other became an uncle. After seeing the baby, they danced and had a heated discussion about how the baby looked like Song Yangming and how he looked like Qin Wenhui.
If the hospital didn't forbid contact with children, judging from their attitude, they might hold the baby in their arms and play with it for a while. They are both in their early twenties, but their tempers are still like those of children, which makes Song Yangming really laugh and cry.
The next to arrive were Zhang Jianguo and his wife, and Zhang Pingping and his wife. They were surprised and extremely happy about Qin Wenhui's sudden birth. Not only did they come, they also brought gifts for the birth of the child. They all congratulated Song Yangming with smiles and went to see the newborn baby.
As time went by, more and more people came to visit. In order to avoid disturbing Qin Wenhui and allowing her to rest and recover, Song Yangming received all but a few close relatives outside the ward and happily accepted their blessings.
Song Yuanchao arrived at the hospital at noon. He had not slept well the night before after receiving the call. He learned that his grandson was born successfully in the early morning. This good news made Song Yuanchao very happy. Before it was completely light, Song Yuanchao rushed to the train station and bought the earliest and fastest ticket to Shanghai. After arriving in Shanghai, he rushed to the hospital without stopping, just to see his newborn grandson as early as possible.
Qin Zhengguo and his wife arrived later. After all, they did not come from Hong Kong as quickly as Song Yuanchao. They arrived at the hospital around four in the afternoon. After seeing their daughter Qin Wenhui who had just given birth to a child, and their grandson, they were also all smiles and very happy.
Qin Wenhui had a natural birth, and she was in good physical condition, so she stayed in the hospital for a few days after giving birth and was able to go home. The child was also very healthy, and when he was discharged from the hospital, he went home with Qin Wenhui. The birth of the third generation of the Song family was a big event, and even more a happy event. Lin Daoyuan and his wife arrived the next day and moved directly into Song Yuanchao's home. On the day Qin Wenhui and the child returned home, even the eldest brother Lin Jianhang and his wife took time out from thousands of miles away to come.
The last time Song Yuanchao's home was so lively was many years ago. In recent years, everyone has been very busy, and many people are not in the same city, so there are very few opportunities to get together. But this time, with the birth of the child, relatives and friends all came, and with the addition of a few younger generations, everyone gathered together and it was lively and lively.
It was rare for so many people to come together, so Song Yuanchao discussed it with Lin Yan, and sought the opinions of Song Yangming and Qin Wenhui. They decided to hold the full-month banquet for the child in advance, otherwise not everyone might be able to arrive by the time the child is one month old.
Song Yangming and Qin Wenhui readily agreed to this suggestion. Qin Zhengguo and his wife also had no objection, so the banquet was scheduled.
Several old friends got together.
The last person to arrive was Sun Yaoliang. It wasn't that he wanted to arrive late, but the key point was that after Song Yuanchao and his son left, the company's affairs required no one, so he had no choice but to arrive the day before the banquet.
However, Ying Annie arrived early, so it would be enough for one of the couple to arrive first. He and Song Yuanchao were not only old friends, but also old classmates. Starting from the Ying Caixia sisters, they were all relatives, so it didn't matter what.
Li Xiaoyun, who has already become a mother, has lost her youthful playfulness and has become a much more stable person these years. But this time, when she met so many old friends and relatives, Li Xiaoyun showed some of her former playfulness, holding Song Yangming's child and teasing him, and chattering with Lin Yan and the others, with envy in her eyes.
The banquet was low-key yet lively. The hotel was arranged by Rowling, and it was a very nice five-star hotel. It had been open for a short time, but the food was very good.
Apart from relatives and friends, Song Yuanchao did not invite any outsiders. However, on the day of the banquet, some people still came uninvited after hearing the news. Although he had been prepared for this, Song Yuanchao still had no choice but to smile bitterly.
Unexpectedly, Liu also came over after getting the news from somewhere. Speaking of Liu, he has been very popular in the mainland and Hong Kong in recent years, and his real estate business is booming, especially the projects he and Hu Yaoqing's real estate company have cooperated on.
The two complement each other's strengths and each gets what they need. Their joint venture real estate company is now very famous in the country. Its scale has long surpassed Shenghua Real Estate, and its assets have continued to increase with the company's development.
"Boss Song, congratulations!" Seeing Song Yuanchao, Liu stepped forward and shook hands with him with a smile. Song Yuanchao said thank you very politely.
The two of them have known each other for many years. They have cooperated and competed with each other, but they can be considered friends. In addition, because of Hu Yaoqing, Song Yuanchao and Liu Da have always had a good relationship. This time, Liu Da just learned that Song Yuanchao's grandson was born and came to congratulate him. Song Yuanchao had to express his gratitude no matter what.
He handed over a valuable gift, a double gift. Seeing Song Yuanchao's surprised expression, Liu smiled and told him that the other gift was from Hu Yaoqing. Hu Yaoqing had gone abroad a few days ago and couldn't come back for a while, so he asked him to bring an extra gift to Song Yuanchao.
Hearing him say that, Song Yuanchao smiled and accepted it, and expressed his gratitude again. The two of them stood there chatting for a few words, and seeing that Song Yuanchao was indeed too busy today, Da Liu didn't say much to him, but before going in, he whispered something in Song Yuanchao's ear, and Song Yuanchao was slightly stunned after hearing it, and nodded after thinking about it.
The banquet was held smoothly and passed in a lively manner.
The next day, after Song Yuanchao got up and had breakfast, he took a bus to Shenghua Building. When they arrived at the company and saw Song Yuanchao, his subordinates all smiled and gave him their blessings. Song Yuanchao thanked everyone happily and then went into his office.
After dealing with some matters for a while, the secretary called before ten o'clock and said that Mr. Liu and another gentleman came to visit. Song Yuanchao told the secretary to bring them to his office. Not long after hanging up the phone, the secretary knocked on the door of the office and walked in with Liu and another middle-aged man.
"Hello, Mr. Song, I'm Shi Lei, very happy to meet you." Song Yuanchao knew the middle-aged man brought by Liu Da . Although they had never dealt formally, they had inevitably met each other in the business world. Song Yuanchao remembered that they had met each other at the last Federation of Industry and Commerce cocktail party.
"Hello, Mr. Shi, I didn't expect that Boss Liu was talking about you. Welcome, welcome." Song Yuanchao shook hands with Shi Lei and invited them to sit down with a smile.
After asking Da Liu what they wanted to drink, Da Liu waved his hand and said let's have some tea. He knew that the tea here at Song Yuanchao was good and it was hard to get it in other places. Hearing him say that, Song Yuanchao immediately smiled. Since the guests mentioned it like that, Song Yuanchao was not stingy. He stood up and took out his treasured tea from the cabinet behind the desk, and boiled water to wash the tea leaves and brew tea by himself.
Drinking the good tea, Da Liu couldn't help but sigh that the tea was really good. He looked envious of his tea. Song Yuanchao generously said that he would give him three taels , not only for him but also for Shi Lei. Is three taels enough?
When Song Yuanchao said this, the two laughed and said quickly that it was enough. Although these three taels of tea may not seem like much, they are worth a lot. More importantly, they can't buy it even if they have money. Song Yuanchao is so generous, they feel ashamed to accept it.
"Come on, do you still feel unworthy of it? It would be better if you were so thin-skinned. Why are you pretending to be serious in front of me? Just be happy after receiving the tea leaves." Song Yuanchao said this to Da Liu half-jokingly, and Da Liu laughed even louder. They have been friends for many years and know each other's temper. Although their relationship is not as close as that between Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi, Qin Zhengguo and others, they can also be regarded as old friends.
After chatting for a while, Da Liu answered the phone and said that he had something urgent to deal with. Song Yuanchao knew that this was Da Liu's excuse, just to give Shi Lei and himself some private space.
Today, Da Liu brought Shi Lei here for something. Song Yuanchao didn't know what it was, but when Da Liu came to attend his grandson's full moon banquet yesterday, he mentioned it to him privately, and Song Yuanchao agreed for his sake. But Song Yuanchao didn't know that the person who came was Shi Lei, nor did he know what the situation was.
After seeing Liu off, Song Yuanchao returned to the office and sat down again. He picked up the teapot and refilled the teacup with tea, then extended his hand to invite Shi Lei to have some tea.
Shi Lei thanked him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down and looked at Song Yuanchao with a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Mr. Shi, although we haven't had much dealings, I believe we are familiar with each other. And Boss Liu brought you here today because he has something to discuss. There are no outsiders in this office now. We are all businessmen. Just tell us if you have anything to say." Song Yuanchao said. Shi Lei's face showed guilt, but also some gratitude. He nodded immediately and then began to explain his purpose .
