Chapter 279 A Stunning Work (Part One)

It was true that the Lin family was an undoubtedly local tyrant in Ningbo. The allies, who were related to their interests, were everywhere. They and Third Master Wu had different connections. However, they each took what they needed. In addition, the close relative of the Lin family took the same path as Third Master Wu and was on good terms with him. When it came to the other side of Ningbo, Third Master Wu possessed unwavering influence. Consequently, the Lin family took the initiative to attend the birthday party.

However, the Lin family looked down upon Third Master Wu, more or less. Actually, they were not more powerful than Third Master Wu, they were just on different paths and that was all. That was also the reason why they had sent Lin Ze here rather than the elder. Take their close relative, Lin Songhao, as an example, he came here to celebrate the birthday of Third Master Wu on his own.

Lin Ze arrived here exactly on time. He had somewhat taken himself too seriously. After all, as for those who would attend, they already informed Third Master Wu in advance. Third Master Wu already knew who would be here and who would not. Since he had already reserved the seats for those who would show up, it did not matter at all whether they would arrive here early or late.

However, it did not occur to him that though he had arrived here exactly on time, he would run into Qin Sheng, the initiator, who made all the members of the Lin family feel pretty disturbed over the past half a year. Lin Ze brought along the housekeeper, who had put Qin Sheng down in the first place. He had been in the Lin family for his entire life. Ever since the era of the Old Master, he had been in the Lin family.

After getting out of the car, Lin Ze mumbled as he said, “I wonder why this old guy is still alive. Though he is on Putuo Mountain, he does not keep a low profile at all. Instead, he insists on making such a big scene. What the hell.”

Since nobody was around, Lin Ze was just making complaints randomly. Speaking of his cousin, who was his close relative, since he was on good terms with Third Master Wu, in addition to knowing how to get along with the members of his family, he achieved great success in Ningbo now. Many people started to make a comparison between him and his cousin. Of course, the result was self-evident. His cousin was an outstanding tycoon and he was just a scoundrel, who achieved nothing at all with his ancestors’ support.

Uncle Fu reminded him out of kindness as he said, “Lin Ze, be careful of your words here, in case the outsiders will hear what you have said.”

Lin Ze was just boasting. He knew how capable the trusted subordinates and the foster son of Third Master Wu were. If his words were really overheard by them, he probably would not know how he would end up. As a result, he smiled awkwardly as he said, “Uncle Fu, I know.”

At this moment, Qin Sheng and Yang Deng drove back to the hotel. Qin Sheng did not notice either Lin Ze or Uncle Fu. When he was about to get out of the car, Yang Deng, who was by his side, suddenly pointed outside the windows as he said, “Tsk-tsk. Qin Sheng, come and see who they are. Did I get it right?”

Through the glass, Qin Sheng looked at a short distance. He instantly recognized his brother-in-law, Lin Ze, and Uncle Fu, who had excellent fighting skills. He slightly changed the look on his face, squinted, and stared at Lin Ze attentively. However, he said nothing at all. Back when Yang Deng had given him such a warning yesterday, he had been fully prepared to meet them.

Yang Deng asked playfully, “Would you like to get out of the car to greet them?”

Qin Sheng came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, “It is not necessary. We certainly will meet each other later. It does not matter at all that if I don’t go to them at this time.”

Yang Deng smiled awkwardly and did not say anything further. It was not until Lin Ze and Uncle Fu entered the hotel that they got out of the car and walked into the hotel. This time, Yang Deng needed to go to the entrance in advance to greet the guests along with others. After all, he was Third Master Wu’s foster son. Qin Sheng and Gu Qingyang went back to their rooms first. They planned to go to the party after the time was up.

Though Third Master Wu did not intend to celebrate his 70th birthday in a high-profile manner, 10 tables of guests still showed up. Basically, those tycoons in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions all sent their own representatives here. Among them, some sent their brothers, sons, and nephews here, some showed up on their own, and some others sent the principals of their companies here, and so on. While some just sent their underlings here to present the gifts due to their own identities.

Third Master Wu sat in the VIP room in the rear, where sat several very close friends of his. Though they might possess ordinary identities, they were the closest to Third Master Wu. As for the group of people, including Yang Deng and Luo Changgong, since they were the hosts, they all stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, greeting the guests. They knew these guests, more or less. After greeting these guests and exchanging pleasant remarks with them, they guided them into the banquet hall.

As the guests came and went in a continuous stream, the scene was pretty lively, which acted as an affirmation for all that Third Master Wu had done for his entire life, indicating the people all respected his social status.

It was not until Qin Sheng felt the time was almost up that he carried the birthday gifts and went to the banquet hall. Gu Qingyang stayed in his room and rested himself. He certainly could not enter such an occasion. Actually, Third Master Wu had also arranged a birthday dinner for those entourages in another banquet hall, which was next to the main one. However, since Gu Qingyang did not like this kind of lively scene, he did not go there.

When Qin Sheng showed up at the entrance of the banquet hall, Yang Deng and Luo Changgong directly walked over to him. Luo Changgong said in a polite manner, “Qin Sheng, you are here.”

Yang Deng only smiled gently at Qin Sheng. After all, they could not be too familiar with each other.

Yang Deng took the initiative to introduce Qin Sheng to a man by his side, who was dressed in Western-style clothes and leather shoes. He said, “Brother, this is Qin Sheng, whom I have mentioned to you.”

The man was taller than Yang Deng by half a head, who looked pretty handsome and good-looking. He looked a bit like he was biracial. He wore a fashionable haircut. It was estimated that he had used a lot of wax in his hair. The look in his eyes was quite proud. He did not look as amiable as Yang Deng.

Qin Sheng could tell from the way Yang Deng talked that this man had to be Third Master Wu’s other foster son, who was much more amazing than Yang Deng. Currently, he was in charge of Third Master Wu’s business in Shanghai.

The man only smiled, nodded and said, “Welcome.”

Qin Sheng also smiled politely and did not make much more conversation with him. After all, there were other guests behind him. Everybody was busy doing their chores. Yang Deng took Qin Sheng into the banquet hall.
