- The arrival of Zhao Jing and the Tennessee family undoubtedly triggered the climax of the banquet at this time. Some people who did not know what was going on saw that Zhao Jing, one of the five major speakers, was also here today, and for a moment they felt that the Riverside Xinglin family was indeed the same powerful family. And some people who were aware of the situation had already smelled something was wrong.
"The Tennessee family and the Lin family will announce their marriage at today's annual meeting, if nothing unexpected happens. And now, under such circumstances, the Tennessee family and the Zhao family are actually together?
When people saw Zhao Yinlai, the eldest son of Zhao, who was accompanying Tian Xiaotian, many people's expressions suddenly changed, and they smelled an unusual aura.
The next moment, everyone turned their attention to Lin Hai, the eldest son of the Lin family at the other end of the table.
At the table over there, Lin Wei looked at Zhao Yinlai with a look of sullenness and anger in her eyes, and Lin Hao's disgust for Zhao Yinlai, the eldest son of Zhao, was even more palpable.
On the contrary, Lin Hai just glanced at them calmly as they entered the lawn, and then turned his attention away as if nothing happened.
Tian Xiaotian and Zhao Yinlai both smiled and greeted the guests who greeted them. There were a few times when Tian Xiaotian's eyes stayed on Lin Hai, and what surprised her was not that she saw expressions of anger or depression that she could have expected. On the contrary, Lin Hai's expression was very calm, as if his attention was not on her at all.
Naturally, there is nothing that I think belongs to me, such as the anger and unwillingness to leave.
Fireworks bloomed in the sky, with brilliant colors, and countless radiant lights were reflected in the artificial lake next to the banquet venue.
This kind of luster smeared on Lin Hai's face, making his expression even more relaxed and peaceful.
Seeing Lin Hai's side face, Tian Xiaotian felt a sense of loss inexplicably. She didn't know why she and Zhao Yinlai were acting in such a scene today. It seems like there is no meaning suddenly. Am I a little too much?
??************
At this moment, the comments and attention of the guests at the banquet were still focused on Zhao Yinlai.
"This is the eldest son of the Zhao family, rightreally has the title of "Little Superman"?" This refers to Zhao Yinlai's talent in running the Riverside Star Company just like his father.
"He has an extraordinary bearing. He seems to be a very experienced person The second son of the Zhao family is really as outstanding as the rumors. The eldest son is currently in charge of several sub-sector companies of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group. And the second son is also a member of the Hepanxing Media Industry Celebrities¡¡±
"Tsk tsk Compared with the third generation scions of the Zhao family, the gap between this third-generation scion of the Zhao family and the third-generation scion of the Lin family is too big They are both the chairman of the board and aristocratic families, but the Lin family has no talent to carry on"
It is undeniable that Zhao Jing¡¯s two sons are both characters who will attract many envy and praise once they appear.
When the Lin family and the Zhao family have reached this point, although they are at odds with each other, they are both nobles and the chairman of the board, and no one can do anything to the other. The quality of the next generation has obviously become the key to determining the decline or prosperity of the family.
"Compared to these two sons of the Zhao family. The third generation of the Lin family pales in comparison. It is no wonder that the outside world generally dislikes these heirs of the Lin family. Although Linden Linden graduated from Lincoln University and Wharton Business School, he has a cool and frivolous nature and only knows how to play tricks, so he is not the material to take on big responsibilities. The other nephews and sons were even more miserable.
Under Lin Wei's name, Lin Hao seems to have a prestigious status like a famous school, but many people know that it is Lin Wei's use of the speaker's energy and the Lin family paying a corresponding price that makes Lin Hao become A member of Qingyuan College, with a halo.
After all, Lin Wei is an adopted daughter and cannot inherit the title, let alone become the head of the family.
As for Lin Hai, who was just brought back from Haizhou Star, when he first came to Riverside Star, he indeed aroused the curiosity and discussion of many people.
And what matters most is the Zhao family. The Riverside Star Lin family has always been very powerful and is also a leader among the Riverside Star nobles. The Zhao family has always used the Lin family as a goal and benchmark for comparison and pursuit.
Seeing that the third generation of the Lin family has no outstanding talents, but the Zhao family is outstanding and prosperous, the next generation is likely to surpass the Lin family. Suddenly Lin Wei had an illegitimate son. No wonder the Zhao family was very nervous for a while and used a lot of intelligence networks to find out the whole story of Lin Hai.
Later, through the eyesight of some people around Lin Hao at the Slimming Hall and located in Wayne Company, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and took off Lin Hai's mysterious cloak. He is just a wild child who grew up picking up trash. Not to mention any big developments in the future, the only meaning of existence seems to be to serve as a symbolic representative of the Lin family and enter into a marriage with the Tennessee family that will be announced at today's annual meeting. This may be his entire existence in this family.The meaning of ?.
However, now that the guests at the banquet saw that the Tennessee family was so close to the Zhao family, they thought that the only meaning and value of Lin Hai's existence would be lost.
Seeing this scene, the senior relatives of the Lin family seemed to be facing a future that they didn¡¯t know how to pronounce, and their faces were extremely pale.
***************
The tables have been filled with guests one after another.
On the grass, white lamp posts pierced the sky, illuminating the dinner scene as if it were daytime.
The banquet was arranged along the lawn beside the artificial lake. There were only five tables in each row, and then they were arranged downwards. There were a total of fifty-five tables in the entire banquet venue. Next to the artificial lake is the stage where the band plays and performs.
Lin Hai, Earl Lin Wei, his wife Ning Qing, Lin Wei and Lin Hao, together with the Tennessee family and Zhao Jing, sat at the head table. Lin Jiang, Lin Yuanshan and other family members were sitting at a table next to each other.
The five tables in the first row are occupied by the top celebrity families of Riverside Star. In front of hundreds of guests at Nuo's banquet, the Zhao and Lin families were polite to each other even if they had conflicts.
This annual banquet is more like a banquet to welcome the New Year. The outstanding theme is a relaxed atmosphere.
Lin Wei announced the start of the dinner. This was followed by some fireworks shooting into the sky. The sky exploded, dyeing this deep blue early winter night red. At the same time, the band also started a brilliant performance.
The sparkling lake, the laughing dinner, and the banquet atmosphere are becoming more and more intense.
The band "Savior" did not choose radical and surging rock, but a lyrical song that fit the small and warm atmosphere of this situation, so much so that some celebrities at the table also hummed along.
Accompanied by the soothing music, the number of topics involuntarily increased during the banquet.
And on this riverside star in early winter, what could be a more topic that people are paying attention to than the admissions season of various universities in the empire?
***************
"I heard that in Xingang District, there are as many as 20 people selected to attend the top 100 schools in the empire this time. One of them seems to be Mr. Mills's son!"
"Yes! Mr. Mills is not only the chairman of the Mills Consortium, but his son Tomi is already in Xinchuan High School and has talent in controlling civilian mechas. That's why the Imperial Hamilton College is headhunting for talents like him. , it is said that on the day of receiving the admission notice, the Mills Foundation directly chartered a cruise ship on the Han River to celebrate!¡±
"We should celebrate. That is a prestigious school ranked 18th in the Empire! Moreover, Hamilton College has made great achievements in business studies. His son will inherit the family business in the future. It is almost a typical example of father and son being successful in both generations! Does this prove that What about the theory that the strong get stronger?¡±
"There are only a few hundred people in our entire Riverside planet who can enter the top 100 universities in the empire Among them, less than ten people can be admitted to the top ten top universities!"
??While people were whispering to each other about the topic they were most interested in at the moment, a burst of cheers and celebrations suddenly broke out from the other end.
Everyone followed the sound and looked around. The sound of celebration originated from the table of Anel, the director of the Planetary Customs Administration. Next to Anel was a young man with freckles on his face, but he was surrounded by praises. The boy's protruding nose and cheeks seemed to be glowing red with excitement due to the praise around him.
"Arnel's son, Little Nair, was admitted to Pleklein College, which is ranked 48th in the empire, because he showed outstanding mathematical skills in high school. It is said that the research laboratory of Pleklein College has been developing in recent years. To carry out the design project of a new starship main gun, a large number of such talented students are needed Maybe in the future, this little Nair will not be much less successful than his father, who is a senior official!"
The voices of these people's discussions reached the table where Lin Hai was sitting.
Listening to the discussions about the end of the Empire¡¯s admissions season after the banquet, Tennessee had been feeling very heavy and depressed since just now.
How to not be heavy? In peaceful times, passing through the empire's prestigious schools is the best opportunity for a person to gain fame and wealth. The empire's conditions for newly awarded nobility, except for some battles and the award of honors that have made great contributions to the empire, are those who are born in a prestigious school. The minimum conditions!
Regarding Lin Hai, he also knew a lot through more or less rumors from the outside world. In particular, he learned that this illegitimate son was not influenced by the aristocratic life since he was a child, but was instead a wild child who grew up as a garbage star.
"The thought of marrying his daughter to such a person, whose heart is not made of flesh," even though Tennessee is an extremely shrewd businessman, heMy heart felt like it had been cut into pieces out of thin air.
Listening to the children around him, receiving admission notices one by one during the admissions season, hearing those congratulatory voices, seeing those outstanding young peoplecompared to the Lin Hai Lin Hai in front of him, Tennessee seemed to feel extremely ironic at this moment.
Although Lin Hai seemed very quiet at this time, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that Lin Hai had a vulgar temperament that had not yet left the slums. Just imagine if your daughter marries such a person in the future, will he have the bad habits and violent tendencies of the slums? He seemed to have seen the miserable life of his beautiful daughter being tortured, crying all day long, and writing letters to them.
What's more, this Lin Hai is just an illegitimate son of the Lin family, and his future title and status as head of the family will be inherited by his younger brother Lin Hao. The status of the orthodox family head and the illegitimate son are two completely different concepts in aristocratic families. If the family were to be separated in the future, he, Lin Hai, might only have a small amount of property to survive on, and it would also depend on whether his younger brother, Lin Hao, was generous.
In fact, when the marriage between the two families was proposed, Tian Xiaotian expressed resistance and asked to meet Lin Hai himself, so she came to the Lin Hai Manor for the Columbia Festival dinner.
Tennessee didn¡¯t know how the banquet ended, but Tian Xiaotian did not object to the marriage after she returned home. However, that night, there was a low sob in her room.
Based on all this, Tennessee feels that he needs to make today's decision.
**********
However, at this moment, his hand that wanted to take the briefcase was blocked by another hand. That was his wife Zhang Yanqing. Zhang Yanqing withdrew her gaze from carefully examining Lin Hai, pressed Tennessee's hand, and gently shook her head.
Tennessee ignored her. For him, her daughter's happiness may be the most important thing now, so he opened his briefcase, took out a tablet, turned on the light screen, and said to Lin Wei at the same time, "Dear Earl Sir, I have brought something to this banquet today that will further promote the cooperation between our two families. Please take a look at it."
Lin Wei already had great respect for Tennessee. After hearing his words, he took the tablet from his hand.
At this time, the relatives and elders of the Lin family nearby all looked at the private exchange between the two. Now even the smallest actions of the two people may affect their minds.
Lin Wei flipped the light screen of the tablet. It was a contract. After reading it carefully, he was a little surprised and looked excited at the same time. He looked at Tennessee, "What is going on with your contract?"
Tennessee paused and said, "As you can see, if Lord Earl signs this contract, in the next three years, Tennessee's mining industry will supply raw materials to Wayne Industries at a price that is one-third lower than the market price. , that is, during these three years, Wayne Industrial's raw materials can be obtained from our mineral base at one-third lower than the actual price, as long as the demand for Wayne Industrial is within our capabilities. supply to the maximum extent possible.¡±
After saying these words, everyone at the tables around them started to uproar after hearing these words.
Especially the elders of the Lin family and the veterans of the company were all pleasantly surprised. They knew very well what this contract meant to the Lin family, which was currently lacking in resources!
Even the usually calm wife Ning Qing took over the contract from Lin Wei, with a look of emotion on her face, "This is too precious."
The supply price of raw materials is less than one-third of the market price, which means that the Tennessee family is not making any money at all. Give all the profits for three years to the Lin family.
This is quite shocking. Could this be the Tennessee family¡¯s dowry?
It¡¯s really such a big deal!
"But, I also have a request"
Tennessee¡¯s turning point made the surrounding commotion gradually subside. ¡°The original marriage plan between our two families was no longer necessary because of the release of this contract.¡±
For a moment there was total silence.
***********
Mrs. Tian Zhang Yanqing¡¯s expression looked solemn. And Tian Xiaotian also sat up straight, feeling a breathless pressure and a hint of bitterness in his heart. Finally was it a showdown?
Ning Qing¡¯s hand holding the tablet was a little stiff for a moment. Lin Wei seemed to have high blood pressure at that moment, and his head was slightly dizzy. He put his hands on the table to wake up.
The rest of the Lin family¡¯s family company elders all had dull expressions on their faces. The thing they were most worried about finally happened without any suspense!
"You want to annul the marriage contract between the Tian and Lin families?"
After finally calming down, Lin Wei heard his own voiceIt felt like it was squeezed out from the lungs with great effort.
"It's not abolitionbecause after all, this is just an idea and it never happened"
"Tennessee, we are friends Do you think that with such a contract, I can be moved by my interests and make changes?"
Tennessee was speechless, and seeing Lin Wei's slightly gloomy face, even he was frightened in his heart. At this time, a voice came out from the sky.
Zhao Jing's laughter interrupted Lin Wei's questioning, "There is a proverb in the empire that grapes picked too late are sour and bitter! After all, this kind of thing should be a matter of mutual consent. "
In fact, Zhao Jing was very smart and did not interfere in the marriage between the Tian and Lin families, so as not to bring disrepute to himself in the future. But before coming to Lin's Manor, Zhao Jing made a promise to Tennessee.
Whether the Tennessee family will marry the Lin family today or not is completely up to Tennessee's choice, and he, Zhao Jing, will not interfere at all.
But his arrival today is to ensure that the Tennessee family has the freedom to choose, instead of being forced by the Lin family's authority to make them unable to do anything of their own. In fact, this is a huge invisible support.
Without Zhao Jing¡¯s promise, Tennessee would not dare to refuse easily and offend Lin Wei, a planetary speaker.
However, this blow really hit the Lin family's weakness.
Lin Wei suddenly laughed angrily and ignored Zhao Jing, only looking at Tennessee, and finally fell on Tian Xiaotian.
"Niece Tiantian, I hugged you when you were littleNow you are very beautiful and outstanding. It seemsthat this son of mine, Lin Wei, is not worthy of you after all!"
Tian Xiaotian¡¯s eyes were red, ¡°Uncle Lin, that¡¯s not the case!¡±
Lin Wei coughed twice violently, covered the red blood he coughed up with a handkerchief, and raised his head slightly, "It's my fault, Lin Wei, everything is my fault!"
Lin Wei¡¯s chest and abdomen heaved, and then he sternly interrupted Tennessee¡¯s eager words of persuasion, and put the contract handed over by Ning Qing back to Tennessee.
"Old Tennessee, I have always regarded you as a friend. The marriage between our two families only takes this relationship one step further. But now, it is no longer necessary! The marriage is cancelled! We don't need the contract anymore! Between our Tianlin family Apart from fulfilling the contents of the previously concluded contract, there will be no further relationship from today on!"
"What?"
At this time, everyone in the Lin family was shocked when they heard Lin Hai's decision. However, at this moment, they immediately realized that for the dignity of a nobleman, especially the dignity of the family of the speaker of the parliament, if it is for immediate interests. Moved, even more people can see their weakness! And this would never be allowed by the Lin family.
At this moment, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan realized what a stupid mistake they had made in their previous behavior at the Columbia Festival!
