Chapter 148

"Today is my [official name]'s 70th birthday. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet."

Guan Zhengshan walked to the microphone, his face beaming with a smile. He spoke in a loud voice: “Today, everyone who came to my birthday banquet, besides my family members, are all powerful figures who have good relations with my family. You are all guests. Enjoy the food and drinks, and have a great time.”

The crowd erupted in cheers and thunderous applause.

And this was also the time when guests would present gifts to Guan Zhengshan.

"Grandpa, your grandson wishes you good fortune as vast as the East China Sea and a lifespan as long as Mount Nanshan."

At this moment, Guan Xuesong held a simple sandalwood box in both hands and presented it with utmost respect.

The lid of the small gift box was open, revealing a jade ring of exceptional quality inside.

"Haha, good! Grandfather likes the gift from Xue Song very much." Guan Zhengshan said with a laugh.

Guoxuefeng was the first to present his birthday gift, which in a sense also symbolized his status within the official family.

Next, Uncle and Aunts of Guan Xuefeng presented their birthday gifts.

Then came the gift-giving from all sides. Before Guan Zhengshan, there were piles of various birthday gifts. Any one of them would probably be enough for an ordinary family's income for a lifetime.

But Guan Zhengshan only had a faint smile on his face. Besides the jade ring presented by Guan Xuefeng, which he praised, none of the other gifts caught his eye.

Just then, Wang Jian, who had been kicked out the front door of the government office by Ma Chao earlier, arrived at the celebration with a middle-aged man.

"Master Guan, I wish you good health and a long life."

A middle-aged man named Wang, moments before his workout, clutched a jade planter in both hands. Inside the planter were various flower petals meticulously carved from jade.

"Wang Hongye's arms are too big, this jade basin bonsai is probably worth millions, right?"

It seems like the Wang family is determined this time to follow the imperial court.

"It won't be long before Jiangzhou has another prominent Wang family."

The guests around were all shocked to see the birthday gift Wang Hongye presented.

Guanzhengshan laughed heartily: “Master Wang is thoughtful!”

"Master Guan, I have something to report to you." Wang Hongye suddenly spoke.

"Oh? What is it? Master Wang, please feel free to speak."

Although the Wang family is only a second-rate family, being able to send out a birthday gift of ten million is indeed very sincere. Guan Zhengshan did not disappoint Wang Hongye.

Originally, I wasn't planning on disturbing the host's good spirits, but I was afraid that there might be troublemakers at the host's birthday banquet. Therefore, I had no choice but to report this to you.

Wang Hongye bowed slightly and quickly said, "I just came from the airport. I was afraid of delaying the master's birthday banquet, so I sent my son to celebrate your birthday first. Who knew that at the master's doorstep, my son was beaten, and the scoundrel also snatched my son's invitation."

"What? There's more to this?"

Guan Zhengshan suddenly shouted angrily, “Who dares to steal my official’s invitation?!”

Wang Hongye gave Wang Jian a look, and Wang Jian hurriedly pointed at Yang Chen angrily: "You bastard, don't you get out here and apologize to the chief official, you dare to sit there?"

Everyone followed Wang Jian's finger and saw Yang Chen sitting there with a calm expression. The whole audience was in an uproar at once.

Just now, Yang Chen broke Qin Fei's wrist in public. He even dared to hit Sun Zi, the most valued grandson of Guan Zhengshan, smashing his head hard against the table.

To everyone's surprise, even the invitations were snatched up.
