Chapter 237 The Birthday Banquet Begins
The Feng family members had already taken their seats, but the most attention from the entire Feng family was focused on the tables in the hall.
Although the tables in the hall are only for direct descendants, it doesn't mean that the younger generation can sit there. Even Feng Hao, the eldest son of the Feng family, can only sit in the courtyard.
Therefore, the younger generation is very curious about which member of the Feng family is qualified to sit in the hall this year.
Soon, everyone noticed that Qin Chuan and Qin Lan were approaching.
"Brother, let's sit here."
Qin Lan pulled her brother along, wanting to sit down among the many younger members of the Feng family.
"You have no right to sit here!"
Feng Fangfang was the first to stop them, then pointed to a table in the far corner of the courtyard: "Your seats are over there."
This spot was reserved for some of the Feng family's servants. After all, today is the old master's birthday, so naturally the Feng family's servants should also experience the festivities.
As soon as Feng Fangfang said this, the younger generation of the Feng family at the table all wore mocking expressions.
They just wanted to tell Qin Chuan that he was just a grandson!
In the Feng family, one is only fit to sit at the same table as the servants.
They are not qualified to sit with the younger generation of the Feng family.
Qin Lan tugged at her brother's hand: "Brother, it's okay."
Qin Chuan smiled, but didn't mind. He took his sister's hand and led her to a table in the far corner.
This table is actually hidden by a tree, so most people wouldn't notice it.
"Ha ha……"
The younger generation at the table all laughed.
"You still want to sit at the same table with us? What are you thinking?"
"Does he even deserve it?"
"Just sit at the same table as the servants!"
"..."
The crowd burst into mockery.
Even the servants of the Feng family shook their heads and sneered when they saw Qin Chuan sit down at their table.
Ultimately, they are from a different family.
Feng Rongrong pushed up her glasses: "It seems he's quite self-aware, knowing he has to keep a low profile in the Feng family. That shows he listened to what I said yesterday."
She was really angered by Qin Chuan yesterday, and thought that this guy might have some backbone.
In retrospect, it's nothing special.
"What can he do if he doesn't keep a low profile? I bet he's enjoying the prestigious status that the Feng family brings him right now," Feng Fangfang sneered.
"Ha ha……"
Another burst of laughter immediately followed.
"But speaking of which, Feng Lei is coming back this year to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. Among the younger generation, he's probably the only one who can get a seat in the hall."
Feng Hao was somewhat envious.
Being able to sit in the main hall is a sign of a very high status within the Feng family, and is also a testament to their power.
Even he, the eldest son of the Feng family, doesn't have that qualification.
Feng Rongrong, a returnee from overseas, naturally did not have one, even though her surname was Feng, her father was ultimately a different surname.
Unless you can produce outstanding results, you will not be qualified to sit in the lobby.
Feng Taihe and Feng Taifeng, the two sons of the Feng family patriarch, naturally took their seats in the hall.
He was also at the same table as Feng Shirong.
They were in the hall, but they also noticed Qin Chuan and the servants at their table.
Feng Shirong frowned slightly, but ultimately said nothing.
It would be good to temper this child's temperament.
"Oh, isn't this the young master? Why is he sitting at the same table as us servants?" One of the servants couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark when he saw Qin Chuan sit down.
Qin Chuan wasn't angry; he simply said, "Given my status, I'm at the core no matter where I sit."
As soon as these words came out...
This drew laughter from many of the servants.
However, everyone was still quite restrained. After all, they were just servants, and they wouldn't dare to mock Qin Chuan in front of him. But there were still a few servants who laughed unrestrainedly.
"Then why don't you go sit in the hall?" the maid sneered.
Qin Chuan did not answer the question, but only glanced at the hall, where there were three tables.
The direct descendants of the Feng family could not even fill a single table, because only a minority of the core members of the Feng family were able to enter the hall and take a seat.
To Qin Chuan's surprise, Feng Rongrong's mother, who was also his aunt Feng Xiu, was also entitled to sit in the hall.
But soon, he stopped caring.
In his eyes, the Feng family was nothing more than a speck of dust.
For Qin Chuan, there was no difference between sitting here and sitting in the hall.
As he said, given his position, he will be at the center no matter where he sits.
"Chairman Zhou of Zhoufa Group... Chairman Zhou has arrived!"
Just then, shouts came from outside the door.
Chow Fat Group is a real estate conglomerate, and is known as a small part of Hong Kong Island.
His net worth has already exceeded 100 billion!
"This is……"
Feng Shirong looked at the core members of the Feng family around him.
Feng Taihe smiled and said, "Father, I called him."
Yesterday, Feng Shirong specifically instructed that all the Feng family's connections that could be used should be brought to them.
Today's birthday banquet is also a time for the Feng family to demonstrate their strength.
"Mr. Feng, may you enjoy boundless happiness and longevity!"
Chairman Zhou also presented a congratulatory gift.
A jade Guanyin statue worth millions!
"Tsk tsk..."
Feng Hao sighed with emotion: "This is just the tip of the iceberg of my father's connections."
Feng Rongrong pushed up her glasses, but she wasn't envious: "When will we younger generation be able to summon such important figures? Then we'll be qualified to sit in the main hall."
"Rongrong, did you invite anyone over for Grandpa's birthday this year?" Feng Fangfang asked curiously.
Feng Rongrong smiled but remained silent.
It's not just the older generation in the Feng family who need to leverage their connections; the younger generation can too.
Therefore, such a birthday banquet is also a time for the younger generation to compete and show their abilities.
With a net worth of hundreds of billions, Chairman Zhou naturally deserves a seat in the main hall.
A short while later.
"Professor Man Yuk from Island University has arrived!"
A shout came from outside the door.
Professor Man Yuk of Hong Kong Island!
Although his net worth is not as high as Chairman Zhou's, his social status is not low.
The members of the Feng family looked at each other in bewilderment, all wondering who had summoned Professor Wen Yu.
Immediately afterwards, a figure stood up.
Feng Rongrong!
Her haughty expression influenced Professor Wenyu.
"teacher!"
"You've returned from studying abroad, yet you don't even come to sit with your teacher." Professor Wen Yu is a female professor in her sixties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. She looks somewhat kind, but there's a hint of seriousness in her kindness.
"Teacher, it's my grandfather's birthday at home, and there are indeed many things to do," Feng Rongrong said apologetically.
This scene has drawn envy from countless young people.
This is Professor Wen Yu!
"So you're a professor at Hong Kong Island University," Feng Fangfang said with genuine envy.
Not to mention her, even Feng Hao, the young master, was envious, because there weren't many young people in the Feng family who could invite someone of this caliber.
After exchanging pleasantries with Professor Wen Yu, Feng Rongrong looked smugly in one direction.
"Qin Chuan..."
"Now do you feel qualified to teach you how to do things?"
