Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Giving a Gift: One Teddy Bear! (6th Update)

Hesha Province is rich in coal mines, and the wealth of the richest person of the province is likely not lower than these major families in Jingzhou. Moreover, they even had their patriarch personally attend, giving great face to the Wei Family.

"Oh, it’s Elder Hu, my apologies!"

Wei Deyao hurried to his feet.

"No need for such courtesy."

Elder Hu of the Hu Family gently waved his hand.

"President of Jingzhou Venture Capital Startups Ltd., congratulating the Wei Family..."

"Dragon Province’s Zhao Family, Jin representing Elder Zhao, congratulating the Wei Family..."

Dozens of people in succession, all presented their congratulatory gifts and said their congratulations, each representing significant forces, dazzling to all!

After the celebrations for the Wei Family ended, it was the Zhou Family’s turn.

"Ahem... Qifeng Electric Vehicles... to... congratulate the Zhou Family!"

A middle-aged man tiptoed onto the stage, speaking somewhat unconfidently.

Normally, in the company of other minor rich folks, he too would command respect, stepping out in at least a luxury car, but in the circles of Jingzhou, where billionaires numbered in the hundreds and thousands, he couldn’t help but feel less significant.

"Qifeng Electric Vehicles? What kind of business is that, never heard of it? What’s its market value?"

A wealthy individual asked subconsciously.

"Um... well... it hasn’t gone public yet..." the middle-aged man said with a face full of embarrassment.

"Hahaha!"

Laughter suddenly erupted from all around.

Zhou Haonan and Wang Qing’s faces were flushed with utmost shame and anger!

By the time it was the Zhou Family’s guests’ turn to offer congratulatory words, the hall was no longer quiet, some people even started chatting, completely ignoring the proceedings.

Once all the invited dignitaries from both parties had finished presenting their gifts and congratulations, the ceremony was considered complete.

The people who came to congratulate the Wei Family were at least presidents of listed companies, and even included several provincial richest who put aside their work to personally come to Jingzhou to add prestige to the Wei Family!

In contrast, the ’wealthy’ guests invited by the Zhou Family were mostly from Zhou Haonan’s business circles, none of whom could quite match the opposition in confidence.

The wealthiest among those managed to come thanks to the Wang Family’s reputation, who, after congratulating Zhou Ling’er, immediately went to the Wei Family side to mingle and share jovial conversations.

"Tsk! What nonsense, they have billionaires worth hundreds of billions coming to offer congratulations, three or four of the province’s richest people, while we have what? People worth a few billion, maybe tens of billions show up? These kinds of people wouldn’t even be allowed through the doors of my Wang Family ten years ago!"

A woman from the Wang Family couldn’t help but scoff.

"Exactly, this is too degrading!"

"What a mistake!"

The few women nearby also showed faces of dissatisfaction, clearly feeling disgraced!

People vye for a bit of face, just as a Buddha strives for a single stick of incense, who isn’t like this?

Hearing this, the faces of Zhou Haonan, Wang Qing, and Zhou Ling’er turned a mix of green and red, yet they dared not say much, swallowing their pride and anger!

"Alright, today is a day of joy, let’s not talk about this!"

The old granny of the Wang Family struck the floor with her cane, silencing the few women, but the looks they gave the three members of the Zhou Family were anything but friendly.

Just when everyone thought the congratulatory segment was about to end, a loud and clear voice came from outside the hall:

"Jizhou, Yuan Family, Yuan Shiyin has arrived!"

"Jizhou’s Yuan Family?"

The crowd was taken aback.

"Does Jizhou have any wealthy families?"

"Never heard of any!"

"Surname Yuan? Who’s that?"

All the tycoons in the hall were startled.

Only a few people, including several who were the richest in their respective provinces and had come to congratulate the Wei Family, couldn’t help but tremble and looked up in astonishment towards the entrance of the hall!

"Wealthy families? We are a Martial Arts family!" A derisive laugh came through.

"Martial Arts family? Wait! Hiss! It’s that Yuan Family from Jizhou, my goodness!"

Nie Ziqiang, the chairman of Fuheng Venture Group who had just congratulated the Wei Family, couldn’t help but shiver, his mouth agape in surprise!

A man who appeared to be over sixty years old entered the Wang Family’s hall amidst a crowd’s adulation, instantly becoming the focus of all eyes.

"Grandmaster Yuan, I’ve finally seen you!"

Nie Ziqiang could no longer hold back and hurriedly strode over.

"Mr. Nie..."

Everyone present was agape!

"You are?" Yuan Shiyin frowned.

"Grandmaster Yuan, of course you don’t recognize me, but I recognize you! In the past two years, I’ve been to Jizhou seven or eight times, trying to visit your residence to see you, but I never had the chance to meet you. I didn’t expect to encounter you here today!" Nie Ziqiang was visibly thrilled.

The other guests in the hall were all stunned.

With Nie Ziqiang’s net worth in the hundreds of billions, there was no need for him to be so excited even when meeting the Wei Family patriarch, right? But Nie Ziqiang’s demeanor didn’t seem feigned.

"Is Mr. Nie overreacting?" a tycoon asked.

"Overreacting? How could he not? This is a Martial Arts family!" A few wealthy individuals well-versed in this area immediately nodded.

"A Martial Arts Grandmaster’s status is at least comparable to the richest person in a province! And not to mention a Martial Arts family, which has even more weight! Their significance is much greater than that of any billionaire CEO! As for the Yuan Family from Jizhou, they’re known as one of Huaxia’s top ten Martial Arts families. Their status is akin to that of the Wei Family’s patriarch in Jingzhou, or the Wang Family’s matriarch! For Grandmaster Yuan to personally attend on the day when the younger generation of the two families are betrothed is like the patriarchs of Yanjing’s ten big families coming to offer congratulations. Can you say the weight is significant?" sneered the richest man of Hesha Province.

Being the richest in the province himself, he understood the terrifying nature of a Martial Arts family!

"My goodness!"

Upon hearing such an explanation, everyone was stunned!

"Oh."

Yuan Shiyin nodded slightly and ignored Nie Ziqiang’s words, continuing on into the hall.

"Great Grandmaster Yuan, are you also here to congratulate the Wei and Wang families on their auspicious marriage alliance?"

Wei Deyao, Wei Rufeng’s father, promptly stood up to greet him. Even his own father, the patriarch of the Wei Family, was considered an equal to Yuan Shiyin, so how could he presume to slight him?

But Wei Deyao didn’t expect the Wei Family to have such prestige to invite a Great Grandmaster from the Martial Arts World. Wasn’t this beyond his expectations?

He remembered not having sent an invitation to the Yuan Family in Jizhou!

"Hmph! Congratulating them on what auspicious marriage alliance? Nonsense! I am here to celebrate Ms. Zhou’s eighteenth birthday!" Yuan Shiyin snorted coldly.

"What? An eighteenth birthday?"

Everyone present was taken aback, their minds yet to catch up!

Ignoring everyone else, Yuan Shiyin stepped forward, and unveiling a gift wrapped in red silk, he solemnly said, "On behalf of the Yuan Family from Jizhou, I wish Ms. Zhou a happy birthday, presenting this gift: one teddy bear!"

"A... a teddy bear?"

The whole hall fell into a stunned silence!

"Eh?"

Upon seeing the teddy bear, Zhou Ling’er’s dull eyes suddenly lit up!
