"Grandmaster Zhou, I won this pair of statues at Sotheby's. They are a symbol of your health andprosperity!"
Zhang Hai waved his hand, and his subordinate brought a pair of jade statues the size of one's palm.They were translucent and lifelike, and one could easily tell that they were very expensive.
"Haha, thank you, Hai." Grandmaster Zhou laughed and waved his hand. "You must be Yong's friend,right? Please be seated."
Zhang Hai bowed and retired to his seat. Yu Hui quickly stood up and went to him, "Oh, Hai, thank youso much for your gift. It must have cost you a bomb."
She spoke loudly so that everyone around her could hear her.
"Don't mention it, Madam Yu. Grandmaster Zhou is worthy of my respect," Zhang Hai said proudly andsat down behind Zhou Yong's family.
Other guests went up to Grandmaster Zhou and presented their gifts one by one. The sheer varietyand extravagance of the gifts dazzled everyone in attendance.
"The CEO of Liuzhou Mining Company presents a pair of jade bracelets…"
"The chairman of Huabei Entertainment presents a genuine Rembrandt…"
"Secretary Chen of the Yenching City Council presents an antique vase…"
Most of the guests there were friends and acquaintances of Zhou Yang and Zhou Wen. EvenGrandmaster Zhou's two daughters also invited several bosses that brought gifts worth millions ofdollars.
Only Zhou Lie and his wife stood there by themselves awkwardly. There was no one else at their table.
The people were starting to regard them curiously. They pointed fingers at them and whispered to eachother.
Even Grandmaster Zhou grunted unhappily. He turned his head away as though Zhou Lie was not hisson.
"What do we do, Lie?" Liu Minglan was getting more and more anxious. Her palms were already wetwith sweat. "Where did Feng go? The banquet is about to end!"
If Chu Feng did not show himself, they would once again be the subject of ridicule…
"Be patient and calm down," Zhou Lie grunted gruffly and bit his pipe. "He promised us he'd reclaim ourdignity. I'm sure he will come soon!"
Even though the seats around him were empty, he spoke confidently, "I know my son very well."
Liu Minglan sighed. She trusted Chu Feng too, but anyone would feel nervous when facing such publicpressure.
"Tsk tsk, what's going on, Lie? The banquet is almost over, but none of your guests have arrived!" Zhou
Yang said while laughing mockingly. "Don't tell me you didn't invite anyone!"
"If you hadn't invited anyone, you can just admit it! No one will laugh at you. We're all family, right?"Zhou Wen said sarcastically. "By the way, I'll take those chairs from your table if you're not using them.You don't have any guests anyway!"
Zhou Yao marched over to Zhou Lie's table and started to move the chairs. He looked like he had justwon a war. novelbin
Zhou Yong frowned hard. He wondered if he should contact some of his friends and get them to comeover under Zhou Lie's name.
Suddenly, a loud voice announced, "Mr. Li Hongtu, chairman of Hongtu Corporation, presents a carvedmountain of gold!"
