On the annual old man’s birthday, no matter how busy they are, everyone in the Zeng family will put down their work and sit together. The joy of the past has gradually changed over the years. On the surface, it is a harmonious place, but in fact, the family has long lost its previous intimacy.

Zeng Guoqiang gave birth to three sons and one daughter. Except for his younger daughter Zeng Qingxiu, all of his three sons were not a good thing to save money. This was a good thing that Lao Huai comforted, but he couldn't be happy at all.

The eldest son Zeng Qinghua is very brave to fight and fight, and he has a bit of his temperament back then, but he has a bit of anger. The third son Zeng Qingsheng has a very flexible mind, but he has a sinister aura. Although the second son Zeng Qingwen is sometimes a little indecisive and not courageous, he is generally calm and generous, and is the best choice for the Zeng Group, which is in a business-keeping stage.

Zeng Qinghuasheng had a son and a daughter. His son Zeng Xiangyun married the daughter of a deputy mayor in the city. His daughter Zeng Yalan's husband's family is also the major shareholder of a listed company.

Zeng Qingsheng's son Zeng Xiangming studied law at Columbia University, one of the Ivy League schools in the United States.

Originally, a good marriage was arranged for Zeng Qingwen, and the Tian family was a good foreign aid. However, Zeng Qingwen, who had been the most obedient since childhood, actually found a mistress outside, which made the Tian family very dissatisfied. If both families had not taken into account the family image, they would have divorced long ago. His daughter Zeng Yaqian is recognized by everyone as the smartest and capable person in the next generation of the Zeng family, but now she has only been to a domestic junior college. Originally, marriage with the Meng family could be considered as providing Zeng Qingwen with a foreign aid, but Lu Shanmin appeared inexplicably in the middle.

Originally, a good deck of a king's devil was beaten by Zeng Qingwen, but even if the big and big kings were beaten, they might not be able to win.

It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. Zeng Qingwen is facing a situation that is even more difficult. There is internal turmoil inside and no strong support outside, which is difficult to be done step by step. In other words, he is still alive. If he is gone, the eldest and third brother would have driven the second brother off the stage long ago.

It was not that Zeng Guoqiang had thought of personally consolidating Zeng Qingwen's status, but he knew that he could manage for a while but not for a lifetime. He was already in his eighties and could protect the Zeng family for many years.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Zeng Qingwen can survive, which means that the Zeng family is right to hand it over, and that he cannot survive, which means that he is not qualified to helm the Zeng family's ship.

What he was most worried about was that while the Zeng family grew stronger over the years, they also offended many people. Those people might be hiding in the dark and sharpening their knives. They were waiting for the Zeng family to attack them in an internal battle, and rushed up to bite a few bites of the meat.

The old man sat in the center wearing a newly customized festive Tang suit.

Zeng Qingwen brought Zeng Qinghua, Zeng Qingsheng, Zeng Qingxiu, and their respective wives and husbands to pay their birthday to the old man.

Everyone knelt in front of Zeng Guoqiang, holding their own birthday gifts with their hands, "I wish my father good luck as long as the East China Sea and the South Mountain."

Zeng Guoqiang nodded with a smile, "Get up."

After everyone stood up, Zeng Qinghua smiled and said, "Dad, why don't we open the gift to show you so that you can always be happy."

Zeng Guoqiang glanced at his son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and son-in-law standing in front of him. Zeng Qinghua smiled naturally and casually. Zeng Qingsheng's mouth was faintly gloating. Zeng Qingwen's face was not very good, and Zeng Qingxiu's face was calm.

"Let's see later, my grandchildren have not kowtowed to me yet."

After everyone left, Zeng Xiangyun brought his wife of the deputy mayor, Zeng Yalan, her husband, Zeng Yaqian, and Zeng Qingxiu's daughter Guo Yue, to pay their birthday to the old man with their own gifts. Only Zeng Xiangming, who was studying in the United States, did not come back.

Next is Fang Yuanshan and a few bodyguards who were regarded as family members by the Zeng family to pay their birthday to the old man.

The villa is full of family members, and even the group's major shareholders and senior executives have not invited any of them.

There was a large round table in the center of the hall where more than 20 people could sit. Zeng Guoqiang sat in the middle, and the others sat in turn.

Zeng Guoqiang glanced at the children and grandchildren on the table, and smiled faintly, "Why, old man, I have a child today, you don't seem to be very happy."

Zeng Qinghua smiled and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Of course we are happy, but if you don't speak, we dare not say it first."

Zeng Guoqiang ignored the words in his eldest son's words and laughed: "Then let's start eating."

Zeng Qinghua also laughed, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the wine glass, "Dad, I wish you a day and a day every year. I've done it, you can take a sip."

"Okay, you are a good boss, you are considerate and considerate to the old man. You all follow them and learn well." As he said that, he half-squinted his eyes and looked at Zeng Qinghua.

Zeng Qinghua looked natural and laughed, "Dad, you have won the award. Who doesn't know that the best person in our Zeng family is the second child. I still have many places to learn from the second child."

Zeng Qingwen smiled faintly, "Brother is joking. Whether in the company or at home, you are my elder brother, and you have to rely on your elder brother's advice and support."

Zeng Qingsheng picked up the wine glass, "Brother and second brother are both the mainstay of the Zeng family. With you two, I am free and easy."

Zeng Guoqiang took a sip of wine, "Brothers work together to cut off gold. I feel relieved when I see you three being humble to each other."

Zeng Qingwen fucked the liquor in his hand, "Dad, don't worry, the Zeng family will definitely go to the next level in the hands of our three brothers."

Zeng Qinghua inadvertently glanced at his wife Fan Min.

Fan Min picked up the wine glass and walked to the old man, "Dad, my daughter-in-law, I wish you good health and longevity."

Zeng Guoqiang nodded slightly, "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Men should take care of the things outside. You should be more attentive about the affairs at home. No matter what the outside is like, harmony among the family is more important than anything else."

Fan Min nodded with a smile, "Dad, don't worry, the three brothers are busy. I often ask Wenxin and Jiamei to go out shopping and watch movies. We sisters-in-law have a good relationship."

Zeng Qingsheng's wife Luo Jiamei picked up the wine glass and walked to the old man with a smile and echoed: "Dad, my sister-in-law is right. We often get together, but Wen Xin is sometimes home-home and doesn't like going out."

Zeng Guoqiang looked at Tian Wenxin who was sitting not far away, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. A gentle and virtuous lady was tortured by Zeng Qingwen to the point of being haggard and suddenly lost. Even if she was dressed luxuriously today, she could not hide the loneliness and sorrow in her eyes.

Zeng Guoqiang glared at Zeng Qingwen who was sitting next to him. Zeng Qingwen avoided the old man's eyes and said to Tian Wenxin, who was still a little distracted, "Today is dad's birthday, I'll give him a glass of wine."

Tian Wenxin raised her head and realized that her sister-in-law and her brother and sister-in-law were already standing next to the old man with wine.

A hint of embarrassment and apologies flashed across Tian Wenxin's face, and she stood up and picked up the wine glass, "Happy birthday, Dad."

Zeng Guoqiang took a small sip and said, "Everyone can sit down."

Next, the grandson started to toast Zeng Guoqiang from Zeng Xiangyun.

After three rounds of drinking, the scene that seemed a little cold this year slowly began to find a hint of the past lively.

Zeng Yaqian kept watching the scene with a cold look, feeling funny. The family with each ulterior motive still insisted on pretending to be happy.

Zeng Xiangyun picked up the wine glass and said, "Yaqian, you are our role model. In our generation, you will give grandpa a face and give you a cup of brother."

Zeng Yaqian smiled faintly, "Brother is really joking. Who doesn't know that I am a joke in the whole Donghai now? It's Big Brother that you marry Mayor Chen's daughter, that's how to give grandpa a face."

As he said that, he picked up the wine glass and raised it to Chen Yan, "My sister-in-law is beautiful and virtuous, and she has a noble status. I'm sorry to marry our Zeng family."

Chen Yan smiled and said jokingly: "It's not wrong to marry the Zeng family, but it's really wrong to marry your brother. If he had half of your ability, I would wake up in a dream."

Zeng Xiangyun smiled awkwardly, "One is my sister and the other is my wife. How could you bury me like this?"

Guo Yue approached Zeng Yaqian's ear and said softly: "Cousin Yaqian, why do I feel that this year's grandfather's birthday party is different from previous years?"

Zeng Yaqian smiled softly, "Even you feel it?"

Guo Yue curled her lips, "Sister, I'm in my second year of high school, don't always treat me as a child."

Zeng Yaqian shook the red wine in her hand, "Remember the beautiful memories before tonight, don't forget."

Guo Yue looked confused, "Sister, what's wrong tonight? You all sounded clear, but why did you always feel that you couldn't understand it?"

Fan Min picked up the wine glass and said to Zeng Yaqian with a smile, "Yaqian, your company has been established for almost a year. If you have any interesting things, let me tell you about it. My aunt is very curious."

Zeng Qinghua slapped the table and said to Fan Min unhappily: "You have a long mouth. Today is the old man's birthday. I only talk about family affairs and not business affairs."

Zeng Yaqian sneered, "Uncle, stop acting. You winked at my aunt several times. Do you think I'm blind? A big man pushed his wife out as a gunman. With this, no wonder grandpa didn't hand over the Zeng family to you back then."

Everyone at the table is smart, except for Guo Yue’s ignorantness, everyone can see it. Although everyone knows that Zeng Yaqian is not a good person to mess with, no one still expected that Zeng Yaqian would be so direct and not give Zeng Qinghua face.

The table of people became quiet in an instant, and only Zeng Qinghua's breathing sound was heard. He was the same. He never expected that Zeng Yaqian would not take his uncle seriously at all.

Zeng Qingwen felt a little relieved, but on the surface he was very angry, "Ya Qian, why did you talk to your uncle?"

Zeng Yaqian smiled and said with disdain, "I'm obviously feeling secretly, and I pretend to scold me to show you the magnanimity of the chairman of Haohan Group. If you dare to speak to him like me, who dares to covet the position of the chairman of Haohan Group?"
