Ah? Everyone except Jiang Guangming was stunned! Jiahua Clothing Company is a large enterprise, and even the people in Qingcheng know a bit about it. How did it end up being given to Jiang Chen? Old Qin had no prior connection with the Jiang family, so everyone was quite surprised by his presence at the Birthday Celebration.
"Old Qin, why is this? How can our Jiang family accept such generosity from you?" Jiang Jingsheng was both happy and surprised. He felt a bit resentful towards Jiang Guangming: such a big matter, why didn't he tell me?
Of course, Jiang Guangming wouldn't say anything. If he did, would the old man still help me deal with that kid Jiang Chen? Besides, would the old man even believe it if I told him?
"Jiang Lao, Jiang Chen saved my granddaughter's life; this is merely my way of repaying him, nothing more!"
"Saved your granddaughter's life?" This was the first time Jiang Guangming had heard about it. Something he had been puzzled about before seemed to make sense today. It turned out that Old Qin transferred Jiahua Apparel Group to Jiang Chen as a way to repay him for saving his granddaughter.
Doesn't Old Qin have bodyguards? Why did his granddaughter need Jiang Chen to save her?
"Yes." Old Qin recounted how Jiang Chen rescued his granddaughter from under a car, omitting the part where Jiang Chen saved her again from an assassin sent by Azure Feather Sect. Clearly, Old Qin intended to leave that out.
So that's how it was! However, everyone thought this was just luck for Jiang Chen. They imagined a scenario where an ordinary car almost hit Old Qin's granddaughter because the driver dozed off or got distracted. At that moment, Jiang Chen happened to pass by and pulled her away. To repay him, Old Qin transferred Jiahua Clothing Company to him.
Jiang Jingsheng also more or less concocted a similar story. This explained why Jiang Chen had suddenly become so wealthy! It seemed fate played a trick; Jiang Chen's luck was too good!
Since Jiang Chen could afford such an expensive gift, it showed that he respected me as his grandfather. It also indicated that he didn't know the truth about his father's death. It could still be kept from him.
"Xiao Chen, it's fortunate that you have such a connection with Old Qin! However, you're still in school, and your father has just passed away due to illness. You don't need to buy me such an expensive gift!"
"It's my grandfather's seventieth birthday; as his grandson, it's only right for me to buy something within my means! But was my dad really sick when he died?"
Jiang Chen's sudden question left Jiang Jingsheng momentarily stunned! Could it be that this kid no longer believed his father died of illness? He regretted bringing up his father again.
"The Wan family has arrived!" The commotion at the door relieved Jiang Jingsheng; he didn't have to respond to Jiang Chen's question and stood up to welcome the guests!
The Wan family? Could it be Wan Haoyu? Jiang Chen was also quite interested.
An elderly man entered and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Old Jiang, congratulations! Wishing you health and longevity! My brother couldn't make it today due to some matters, so he specifically asked me to come and congratulate you! He also sent a famous painting, which I hope you will accept!"
After saying this, he turned around and took a painting from his attendant, presenting it to Jiang Jingsheng.
Seeing that the visitor was not Wan Haoyu but his brother Wan Haozhou, Jiang Jingsheng felt somewhat displeased. He thought to himself: What important matter could keep him away? It seems he doesn't want to give me face! I've sacrificed lives for your affairs, yet you still act so aloof!
Jiang Jingsheng was an experienced figure, however, and while he felt unhappy inside, he did not show it outwardly.
"Oh, it's Vice President Wan! Since Master Wan has matters to attend to, your presence is just as good! I will accept this painting. May I unfold it to take a look?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Jingsheng placed the painting on a nearby table and unfolded it. Wow, what a piece of "Immortal Pine"! The painting depicted several pine trees standing proudly against the snow, showcasing their noble character and resilient vitality. Experts know that this is a work by a renowned artist and is quite valuable!
Jiang Jingsheng felt a bit happier! Although Wan Haoyu did not come, this gift was still quite precious.
Jiang Guangming and the two others felt uncomfortable. After all, this painting was undoubtedly worth much more than the gifts they had brought.
Jiang Jingsheng then introduced Wan Haozhou to Old Qin. The two shook hands politely, expressing their pleasure in meeting each other!
"Old Jiang, it's time to start the banquet. Do you think we should adjust the seating arrangements today?" At that moment, Jiang Jingsheng's assistant, a middle-aged man in his forties, came over to ask. He was the overall coordinator for the birthday celebration.
Adjustments were definitely needed. Originally thinking that Wan Haoyu would be present, they had placed him in the first seat among the guests. Unexpectedly, Wan Haoyu did not come, but Old Qin did. It seemed that the first seat should be given to Old Qin instead. That works! If Wan Haoyu had come, it would have been difficult to arrange.
As for Jiang Chen, he had initially planned to seat him at the last table; was that still appropriate now?
"We need to make some adjustments. Old Qin, today you will sit in the first seat at the first table for guests..."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter where I sit. I have one request: let me sit at the same table as Jiang Chen!"
"Well... okay! Let's move Jiang Chen to the first table!" Jiang Jingsheng hesitated for a moment but agreed to Old Qin's request and instructed his assistant.
What? Jiang Chen is being moved to the first table? When his two daughters and son-in-law, Jiang Guangming and Lin Ping, heard this, they nearly fainted from anger. A person who was originally seated at the last table was suddenly moved to the first table! Although his gift was expensive, after all, Jiang Chen is still a junior! How could he sit in front of us elders?
However, everyone heard Old Qin's request. The old man probably had no choice but to agree! The Jiang family certainly couldn't afford to offend the Qin family right now!
Old Qin's request seemed to be just to get closer to Jiang Chen. But it wasn't that simple. Old Qin had originally only guessed that the other members of the Jiang family were indeed not on good terms with Jiang Chen, and now he had realized that this was indeed the case.
Moving Jiang Chen to the first table would undoubtedly slap those Jiang family members in the face. They would surely resent Jiang Chen even more. In this way, the Jiang family would not be able to unite. A disunited Jiang family would pose no threat to the Qin family.
After chatting for a while, it was time for the birthday banquet to begin, and everyone took their seats according to the arrangement. The first table was occupied by two hosts, Jiang Jingsheng and Hu Yina, along with the most distinguished guests, Old Qin, Wan Haozhou, and others.
Of course, there was also an oddity at the first table—Jiang Chen. By age and seniority, he should not have been seated at the first table. However, since Old Master Jiang agreed, Jiang Chen did not hold back and took his seat.
At first, everyone raised their glasses together to wish Jiang Jingsheng a long life as vast as the East Sea and as enduring as the South Mountain!
Next came individual toasts for the birthday star! Naturally, it started from the first table. The first toast began with Old Qin.
Old Qin raised his glass and said to Jiang Jingsheng and his wife, "Old Jiang, Madam, I wish you both health and longevity, and may your Jiang family prosper!"
