Si Huan was a considerate person. He was worried that Bi Ying would appear rude if he didn’t know the nature of the banquet and wasn’t prepared. He found an excuse and said, “It’s almost time for the New Year’s Party. Some of the higher-ups in our company will probably attend your birthday banquet. When the time comes, I’ll organize them to collectively buy clothes and treat it as an employee benefit.”
Bi Ying was sensitive and almost instantly understood that Si Huan was reminding him. He looked over at Si Huan with a complicated expression. When Si Huan seemed to have sensed his gaze, he nodded at Si Huan gratefully.
Zhao Feng had a carefree personality. He didn’t notice the silent exchange of glances between Si Huan and Bi Ying and only said enviously, “The employee benefits of your company are really good. Moreover, ever since you guys reached an agreement to collaborate with the healthcare system in the coastal county, the speed of development has become incredible. To be honest, it’s a pity that I didn’t join Si Huan to invest some money too.”
Si Huan knew that Zhao Feng was just saying it casually and replied indifferently, “Back then, almost all the money in your hands was invested elsewhere. Your family was also unwilling to let you throw money into a project with unknown prospects with me. Yet you’re regretting it now?”
Zhao Feng seemed to have thought of something and laughed foolishly. He laughed for a long while before saying, “I’m fine. It’s just money! It’s good that it’s enough. The things I have now are enough for me to spend two lifetimes. I’m not that greedy. It’s just that the people in my family sigh every day and regret stopping me from investing with you back then.”
Si Huan smiled and didn’t say anything.
Actually, the Zhao Family’s attitude back then was not difficult to understand. Although Si Huan had quite the ideas, he was still young and hadn’t even completely taken control of the Si Family. The project back then was also started by two high school students and two adults with no background.
The person with the highest value among them was Boss Zhu, who had opened a few dumping grounds. How could the Zhao Family let Zhao Feng invest money into such an unreliable project?
However, no one expected that this unreliable-looking team would become a new and upcoming technology company in just half a year. They had hundreds of coveted technological patents and were a monopoly in the medical rehabilitation equipment field with no competition.
Almost all venture capital companies wanted to invest in this company with a large sum of money, but they didn’t need it at all. Just their profits alone were enough to support the subsequent research and production, not to mention that this company still had the colossus Si Family as its backing.
Be it in the technology industry or high society, they still didn’t know that the greatest backing behind this company wasn’t the Si Family controlled by Si Huan, but the famous pharmaceutical and medical equipment family in the United States.
While the Ding Family was busy preparing for Huo Tian’s birthday banquet, the Huo Family was also preparing a banquet.
Huo You and Huo Tian’s birthdays were on the same day, but the Huo Family’s parents wouldn’t make a fuss over their daughter’s 19th birthday. This wasn’t an 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. If this banquet was too grand, people would inevitably think that the Huo Family was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Therefore, what the Huo Family was discussing was Huo You and He Yu’s engagement banquet.
As the main character of the banquet, Huo You didn’t feel like a part of the conversation either. She only needed to sit quietly by the side and listen to her parents and He Yu discuss the details of the banquet.
The planning company for the banquet also sent the person in charge to the Huo Family to report the location of the banquet to Mr. and Mrs.. Huo as well as other work progress.
