Chapter 952: Your connections?
Chapter 952: Your connections?
In the early morning, everyone in the Yang family got busy. They set up a shed in the backyard of the villa, hung up bright crystal lamps, and laid out expensive carpets, decorating the backyard extremely luxuriously.
In order to hold this banquet, the Yang family spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. The main purpose was of course to elect the next head of the Yang family, but this was not the only purpose.
Because in some ways, this banquet is equivalent to the Yang family's integration of their own connections. While building relationships, it is also a demonstration of their strength to the outside world.
Therefore, the environment and the infrastructure of the location must not cause any trouble. It will be as luxurious as it can be.
It is said that the drinks at the banquet were all high-end red wines that cost four or five figures per bottle. As for the food, there was all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the first wave of guests was almost here, so at four-thirty, the direct descendants of the Yang family entered first.
Before that, some side members had already taken their seats, but they were all sitting on the edge of the backyard.
The location of this banquet is actually very particular. There are nine round tables in the central area, representing Yang Kaitai's nine children. When they enter, each family will sit at one table.
When waiting for the guests to enter, it will be clear which family invited the guests to sit at whose house, and which family has great connections and sufficient portions. It will be clear when all the guests arrive soon.
Of course, you can also see clearly which house has fewer guests.
Next to the nine round tables, there is a long table, which is the seat of the eldest member of the Yang family, Yang Kaitai is also among them. The long table is on a high platform, just in time to have a panoramic view of the nine round tables.
"Is that the most powerful young man in our Yang family, Yang Mingming? He is indeed a talented person."
When the direct descendants of the Yang family entered the room, the surrounding descendants who had already been seated began to discuss this in low voices.
"It is said that his father has almost been determined to be the head of the family, so he will probably be the next head of our Yang family."
"Haha, that's nonsense. If it had been decided, the old man wouldn't hold this banquet. I can only say that the probability is relatively high, and the old man's eldest daughter and youngest son also have a chance."
"Hey, who is that handsome guy? Why don't I remember that our Yang family has such a young man? He looks very unfamiliar."
A young girl focused her attention on Zhou Yi. She couldn't help it. Among the direct descendants of the Yang family, Zhou Yi was indeed the best in terms of appearance, and it was easy to attract attention.
"Well...I don't know him either. He is close to the second aunt, but doesn't the second aunt only have a daughter, Mo Mo?"
"Could it be Mo Mo's boyfriend?"
"Don't guess, didn't you all attend the old man's birthday party? It was a relative of the second aunt's family. Because a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum gained the old man's favor, he was specially allowed to attend the banquet with his direct relatives. In fact, this person is a loser. one."
"Yes, I've inquired about it. He's a house-call son-in-law like my second uncle, but my second uncle is much better than him."
"Ah... isn't the second uncle famous for being a freeloader? He is not as good as the second uncle. How useless would that be..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, you'll be dead if you hear me..."
"..."
on the long table.
"Kaitai, are there any surprises this time?" asked a wrinkled old man, who is the same generation as Yang Kaitai.
Yang Kaitai sighed and said: "It's just so-so."
The old man said curiously: "I heard that Pengyun did a good job. His connections shouldn't be bad."
Yang Kaitai nodded and said: "He is just okay. There is a high probability that he can invite an important person, but the others are just average. Even Xiaolei can't even invite a decent person."
"It would have been great if she had listened to me and married the Jia family. Maybe then... ugh... forget it..."
"It's been so many years, so don't mention it. Anyway, these children are far different from me when I was young."
The old man smiled lightly: "Isn't this nonsense? It is too difficult for them to surpass you. I even boldly guessed that all of them have less connections than you."
"Alas, the Yang family has a long way to go if they want to go further." Yang Kaitai sighed, then closed his eyes to rest.
To be honest, after he roughly figured out the size of today's guests at the family gathering last night, he wasn't very interested in today's banquet.
If nothing else goes wrong, he will pass on the position of head of the family to Yang Pengyun. Although his eldest son has average qualifications and average business talent, his network resources are indeed the best.
"Zhou Yi, you are really shameless in coming today, but you are lucky to be here. Just wait, I have prepared a surprise for you." When he was sitting down, Yang Mingming suddenly came to Zhou Yi's side, and then said A harsh word.
Zhou Yi replied calmly: "The redness and swelling on your face haven't gone away yet. Do you want to add more?"
Yang Mingming's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "You have such a tough mouth. I hope you can continue to be tough soon."
After saying that, he hurriedly left and muttered:
"Just wait. If Sein Feilong comes soon and doesn't slap you a few times, my surname will not be Yang."
Yang Kaitai's nine children sat down, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. After all, the position of the head of the family was involved.
"Mom, how many guests are there in our house?"
Yang Momo said with some worry, originally she felt it didn't matter, but in this atmosphere, just like sitting in the examination room before the college entrance examination papers were handed out, her mood suddenly became tense.
Yang Lei showed a relaxed look: "It's okay, your dad and I have already settled it. Although the head of the family has no hope, it will not be embarrassing in such an occasion."
Yang Momo breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time Zhou Yi said: "Auntie, if you want to be the head of the Yang family, you can definitely become it."
Yang Lei rolled her eyes at Zhou Yi: "What's the use of flattering me at this time? It's all meaningless nonsense."
She thought Zhou Yi was saying nice things, but she never thought that the latter smiled and said, "Why do you think I'm flattering you?"
"You have said that relying on your aunt's own connections can only ensure that you are not embarrassed. What I mean is that if you want to be the head of the family, you must rely on my connections. Prepare your words. You may be a little busy soon. After all, There will be a lot of guests.”
Zhou Yi's words stunned the three people at the table. Yang Lei couldn't help but said: "Your connections? Are you kidding?"
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Keming, check if your nephew has a fever."
Ying Keming said: "The complexion looks fine."
Yang Lei said: "Then why are you talking nonsense? Could it be that you have a mental problem?"
Zhou Yi: "..."
After Yang Momo was stunned, she fell into deep thought. She was wondering if Zhou Yi really invited people from the Sirius Gang over.
Although such connections are naturally sufficient, her mother definitely cannot be the head of the family because of her status in the Sirius Gang.
It may even cause the rest of the Yang family to lose their temper.
At this time, there was a sudden movement outside.
The first wave of guests has arrived.
Suddenly everyone became energetic.
