With his extraordinary drinking capacity, Zhang Mingyang refused to refuse anyone who came and drank many people down.

When the others saw this, they only dared to come over to him to say hello and did not dare to fight for drinks.

Seeing that the banquet was coming to an end, Zhang Mingyang finally had the opportunity to go outside to breathe.

Standing by the window, he suddenly wanted to take a cigarette, but after his rebirth, he no longer had the habit of carrying cigarettes with him, so he had to give up.

"Mr. Zhang, do you smoke?"

Just when he was worried that he had no cigarettes to smoke, a young man appeared beside him. He handed the cigarette box to Zhang Mingyang and motioned for him to take one from it.

"No, thank you." Zhang Mingyang politely refused.

After thinking about it, he chose not to accept the cigarette before he found out the other person's identity.

He basically remembered the appearance and name of the person who just came to talk to him, but he had never seen the young man in front of him.

If he just said hello, he wouldn't go out to find him alone at this time.

"Mr. Zhang, you may not know me, but you must know my sister." The young man handed him his business card flatteringly.

The golden card has the word "Shen Yuan" written on it, and below it is Hengshun Electronic Processing Factory.

Probably because he was afraid that Zhang Mingyang wouldn't be able to remember it, Shen Yuan quickly added: "I also watched the promotional video you and my sister made. It's very impressive. Mr. Zhang is very talented as an actor."

The moment he said this, Shen Yuan realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, what I meant was..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Mingyang: "It turns out he is Teacher Shen's brother."

While holding hands, he was also sizing up the young man in front of him. He was obviously not a sociable character and looked like he was being chased away.

While looking at it, Zhang Mingyang also had a lot of doubts in his heart.

The people who can come to this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet are all prominent people in Linjiang. My brother is so rich, but why is my sister reduced to having to find a sponsor in an entertainment company?

No matter from any angle, Shen Congyi's current situation is too miserable.

The doubts in his heart were not shown on his face, he just smiled and chatted with the young man in front of him.

Seeing Zhang Mingyang's spring-like smile, the young man's tension eased a lot.

Except for the sentence just now, he never mentioned Shen Congyi again.

"Mr. Xu is about to speak." Someone in the banquet hall reminded them to go back.

"Let's talk when we have time." Zhang Mingyang made an invitation gesture, indicating that the two of them should go back to the banquet hall first.

"When Mr. Zhang has time, I will treat you to dinner alone." Shen Yuan also pushed Zhang Mingyang and asked him to walk in front.

Back at the banquet hall, the two went to different areas.

Zhang Mingyang took out the business card in his hand again and took a photo with his mobile phone.

He sent it to Shen Congyi on QQ.

"Your brother?"

I was about to put away my phone when I received a reply soon.

"My uncle's cousin, I don't know him well."

Zhang Mingyang replied with an "ok" expression.

"Hengshun Electronic Processing Factory." Zhang Mingyang recited the name silently in his mind, but had no impression of it at all.

Zhang Mingyang basically knows about the large companies that will still exist in Linjiang ten years later. It seems that this electronics factory will not survive ten years later.

Come to think of it, this kind of electronics factory was still very profitable a few years ago.

From pirated game consoles to pirated MP3s and now pirated mobile phones, you can make money by just copying foreign products and putting them into cases.

It's a pity that Mr. Lei's first mobile phone will be released in a year, driving out all pirated mobile phones in the country.

It is estimated that Shen Yuan's electronics factory died at that time.

The two brothers and sisters are miserable enough. One is still looking for a sponsor, and the other company is facing bankruptcy.

Later, Shen Congyi made a comeback, but I don’t know what became of Shen Yuan.

At the end of the banquet, big bosses in the industrial and Internet fields came to the stage to speak, generally looking back on the past and looking forward to the future.

After drinking the last glass of wine, all the businessmen sitting there also said goodbye and left.

Zhang Mingyang got into Xu Mo's car, thinking that today he would send a few people back to the villa as usual, and then go to the house of an unknown beauty to spend time in front of the moon.

But he didn't.

The business car stopped at the entrance of the villa and everyone got out of the car together.

Xu Mo drank a lot tonight, and his body was shaking a bit when he got out of the car.

The big bosses who are able to run the industry are basically local veterans, and their favorite thing to do on such occasions is to have a drink.

In their world view, business is done through drinking and drinking.

Seeing that Xu Mo was unsteady, Zhang Mingyang quickly stepped forward to help him.

Xu Mo waved his hands, indicating that he was fine.

"Old, old."

Back at the villa, Li Zhu had already prepared mooncakes and tea in the courtyard, stood at the table and respectfully called Mr. Xu hello.

The view in the small courtyard is wide and there are no buildings blocking it. Sitting in the courtyard, you can just see the full moon in the sky.

"You can try the tea I specially brought back from Yuncheng." After saying that, he personally picked up the teapot and filled Zhang Mingyang with tea.

It was too late for him to step forward and grab the teapot, so he could only silently take the cup: "Thank you, Uncle Xu."

The tea is bitter at first and sweet aftertaste.

"Sit down." Xu Mo sat on the bamboo chair, and Zhang Mingyang also sat aside.

"Youyou has piano lessons tomorrow morning, I'll take her back to rest first."

After saying that, Xu Duanran took Xu Linyou's hand and walked into the villa without looking back, obviously not intending to sit here with them drinking tea and admiring the moon.

Looking at his daughter's leaving figure, Xu Mo raised his head and wanted to say something, but the only thing left on his lips was a sigh.

It was hard for Zhang Mingyang to say anything about the matter between father and daughter, so he could only drink tea and remain silent.

"Thank you."

Zhang Mingyang was caught off guard by the sudden thank you. He didn't know why Xu Mo wanted to thank him.

He originally thought that Xu Mo had drunk too much, but when he turned around to look, the big boss had clear eyes and was looking up at the full moon in the sky.

His back, which was still straight outside, was curled up in the stool, and there were a few strands of silver threads on the ends of his hair that could not be concealed. Even closer, you could see the obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, he was no longer Xu Mo, the manipulator outside, but more like an ordinary middle-aged man over fifty.

"I'm sorry for delaying your return home for the holidays. I know that if you didn't come, Ranran would definitely not come back."

Zhang Mingyang said to himself, if every time you delay my holiday, you can bring in investment, then I can definitely pass this holiday.

But now is the moment for Mr. Xu to reveal his true feelings, and he didn't say such embarrassing words.

"I should be the one thanking Uncle Xu."

Zhang Mingyang tore open a piece of exquisitely packaged mooncake and placed it in front of Xu Mo with a small box.

Xu Mo picked up the mooncake, took a bite, and said, "Teacher Ma and I talked privately. They valued Qinglian at 80 million, and we will raise funds based on this valuation."

When financing was mentioned at the dinner today, Zhang Mingyang's mental expectation for Qinglian's valuation was around 50 million, but he didn't expect it to rise to 30 million.

Although Xu Mo didn't say it, his efforts must be involved.

"Forget it, we won't mention work at the family dinner." Xu Mo waved his hand and asked Li Zhu to add another pot of water.

Li Zhu understood, picked up the kettle on the tea table and left silently.

"What do you think of Ranran?" After the outsider left, Xu Mo got straight to the point.

If it were before rebirth, Zhang Mingyang would definitely tell Xu Mo frankly that I like Xu Duanran.

But it's different now, he already has a girlfriend, and that girlfriend is someone he can never give up in this life.

"We grew up together, and I have always regarded her as my sister." Zhang Mingyang still said this.

As if he had expected it, Xu Mo was not surprised by what Zhang Mingyang said.

He sipped the tea lightly, his eyes deep.

Zhang Mingyang looked very uncomfortable, as if someone had directly seen through his soul.

"Ranran's mother died early." Xu Mo leaned back on the bamboo chair and closed his eyes to rest, his thoughts seemed to be lost in memories.

Xu Mo stopped staring at him, and Zhang Mingyang felt a lot less pressure.

"If I were just an ordinary father, I would definitely hope that my daughter could find someone she likes and can take good care of her." At this point, Xu Mo paused for a moment: "But you know I can't."

He spoke very little, as if he had said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything.

Xu Mo only has two daughters and no other heirs. The huge business empire he has worked hard for will eventually be handed over to his future son-in-law.

If Xu Duanran's future husband is weak and not a business man, then the business empire will be quickly eaten away by others after Xu Mo leaves.

In his last life, he was with Xu Duanran every day, but Xu Mo had never seen him.

"I want her to live under my protection forever, and it doesn't matter if she hates me."

Zhang Mingyang remained silent. He heard the word "she" clearly. If it was just her, then who was Xu Linyou?

"You are very good. I have no objection to you being with Ranran."

When he said this, Xu Mo still didn't open his eyes, as if he didn't care about Zhang Mingyang's answer at all.

"I will take care of Ranran, but only because she is Xu Duanran, nothing more."
