Zhang Minghui is quick to say: "What gang of four?
We are the four golden flowers.
It is this destiny, so we agreed to get together for our birthdays when we were in school."Changkai asked, "Your son is quite tall, isn't he?
Why didn't he come today?"Zhang Minghui proudly declared, "Our family is the same as yours.
We're like a young man.
We're studying in England now, so we won't be back until summer vacation."Meng Fanchun said, "I felt that giving birth to a beautiful son at that time, but now I finally understand.
It's still a girl's worry." She looked at her son and said in a low voice, "For our family's Yangyang High School, my legs have been carefully checked.
Now that my son is older, it's not easy to care about him.
He's not as cute as he was when he was young.""..."Liu Rongfang interjected, "That's right.
Little cats and dogs are cute when they're young.
It's a bit annoying when they're older."Zhang Minghui looked at his watch, "Why isn't Zhouhong here yet?"Liu Rongfang asked, "Why don't we send a text message?" She started to take out her phone.
It was an old phone, and her heart ached for the cost of speaking, so she didn't need it at all.
She dialed for the number."I'll call her." Zhang Minghui took out his phone and dialed a number, "Hey, Zhouhong, you're not here yet.
Where are you?
Do you need me to drive you there?
What?
You're alone.
Didn't I tell you to take care of your husband and children?
Alright, fine, I'll punish you with a drink.""..."Meng Fanchun listened to her call, "It's rare that Zhouhong is also on the Qing Island.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to gather together.
You guys can chat for a bit.
I'll go to the washroom." She stood up and left.Zhang Minghui looked at Liu Rongfang and asked, "What exactly did Zhouhong have to do after so long?
You two have been in contact for a long time, but she didn't tell you?"Liu Rongfang shook his head, "I really don't know."Meng Fanchun called his hubby, Zhang Qijun, in the restroom.
He had already called him twice, but no one picked up.
She began to send a text message: Hubby, what's going on?
My son and I are waiting for you at Hongyun Restaurant.
When are you coming?After some thought, she sent another message: "Hubby, your husband is here.
If you don't come, I'm going to lose face and get drunk.
Quick, call me back.
"Zhang Minghui also came out.
The two of them bumped into each other in the passageway.
Meng Fanchun took the lead, "Has Minghui's husband arrived yet?"Zhang Minghui walked towards the bathroom and said, "I just called.
He'll be here soon.
You can go in first."Meng Fanchun walked back and made a call, but no one picked up.
She muttered to herself, "What happened?
I'm so angry."When Zhang Minghui returned, several people were chatting about each other's lives.
Zhang Minghui wore gold and silver ornaments, and Meng Fanchun maintained his skin well, making Liu Rongfang feel somewhat uncomfortable in his ordinary and haggard clothes.
Liu Rongfang thought about how Meng Fanchun's son was in a high school, and Zhang Minghui's son was studying in England.
His son was only in an ordinary high school, and his birthday would be somewhat dazzling.
Liu Rongfang gradually felt inferior.
Thinking about how his three sisters' job was better than his, his complexion gradually darkened.
She decided that she would never participate in a class reunion again..At this time, the waiter brought over a female guest.
Zhouhong thanked the waiter and walked in, "It's so lively!""Ah, Zhouhong, long time no see." Zhang Minghui hugged Zhouhong exaggeratedly.
Zhouhong simply hugged Meng Fanchun and Liu Rongfang one by one.Chang Kaile chuckled and stood up politely, shaking Zhouhong's hand.Since Zhouhong had come alone, Zhang Minghui had asked the waiter to remove two chairs and leave a chair for Meng Fanchun's husband.The two boys were still immersed in the game in the corner, as if the adults' affairs had nothing to do with them."It's all here.
All the protagonists are here.
Waiter, prepare the dishes," Zhang Minghui said.Meng Fanchun turned to the side of the room, "Kids, let's go to the table.
What would you two like to drink?"Zhang Deyang: "Frashed orange juice."Changlei: "I want Coke."The two children put down the game and returned to their seats.
Everyone began to tear apart their chopsticks.Zhang Minghui clapped his hands, "It's 11:30 PM.
Let's have our seats first.
Waiter, give us six bottles of beer."The dishes came one after another and the waiter poured some wine and drinks.Zhouhong stood up, "Fellow sisters, it's rare for everyone to be so happy today.
Let's toast together and wish all of us a happy birthday!"A table full of people stood up and clinked glasses, drinking them all in one gulp.The waiter at the side was a little confused, guessing whose birthday it was.Changkai stood up, "All of you are empress' army.
As the representative of my party, I'd like to offer you four golden flowers.
Happy birthday, healthy and happy!" He tugged at his son, and Changlei tugged at Zhang Deyang, and the three of them did the same thing."Alright.
" The ladies cheered and started working too.The waiter widened her eyes in surprise.
She had never seen four people celebrate birthdays at the same time.
She stepped forward and filled everyone's cups.Zhang Minghui's phone rang.
It was her son calling to wish her a happy birthday.After hanging up the phone, Zhang Minghui said happily, "My son, this kid is alright.
Remember my birthday.
He even knows to call back from England."Zhouhong leaned over and asked with concern, "Isn't it very expensive to keep Ying?
What kind of specialization did your son study?"Zhang Minghui waved his hair, "Right now, we're both kids.
His father and I want to groom him.
It's best if he goes to a Ph.D.
before he comes back.
He'll need 300,000 yuan to study finance in a year."Meng Fanchun was surprised, "Wow, it's so expensive.
It's amazing."Changkai: "Okay, now the children are more promising than me."Liu Rongfang said, "Then let's toast to the children.
We wish them all a bright future!"Everyone raised their cups again.
They turned the tables and picked up the vegetables.Inside the oil company, Fengtao's office was spacious.
Although he wasn't tall, he had an impressive appearance.
He would pick up the phone in a while, make a call in a while, and then ask his assistant to do it.
Although it was Saturday, he was extremely busy.Just then, his driver knocked on the door and came in to remind him, "President Feng, it's getting late.
Are we going to Hongyun Restaurant now?""Alright, I'll be right there." Fengtao put on his jacket and continued, "Have you bought the flowers?
What time is the afternoon meeting?"The assistant replied, "The flower basket is in the car.
The TV station is having a meeting at 1:30pm."Fengtao and the driver hurried downstairs.After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Minghui's husband, Fengtao, hurried over with fresh flowers.
He entered the room and shook hands with everyone.
Then, he picked up his wine glass and said, "I'm sorry for being late.
Here's a toast to the four birthday stars today.
Happy birthday!"Everyone raised their cups and the waiter served the dishes.
It was a big fish.Changkai turned to Zhouhong, "It's rare to see you return to Qing Island.
I've seen all of them before.
Which district in Beijing do you live in?
Isn't that pretty?"Zhouhong politely said, "Thank you for your concern.
I was busy at the hospital and didn't come back.
I'm in Haishi District."Fengtao said, "Oh, I often go to Haijian, and many places are worn out.
Let's go back to Green Island to take a look.
We're much more beautiful than Beijing.
Is your girl her father taking care of her?
Which school is she at?"Zhouhong was a little embarrassed, "Let her stay in school, in the 9th High School." She had always looked down on the sudden outburst of businessmen.Fengtao nodded, and Meng Fanchun interjected, "Our Yangyang is also in the Ninth High School.
Which class is your daughter in?"Zhouhong: "Let her learn how to paint.
She's going to attend an art class." Her daughter's poor learning made her feel a little regretful.Fengtao flattered, "Girls are good at learning art.
Oh right, I know the president of the Green Island Books and Painters Association.
If you need someone to guide you, speak."Zhouhong said coldly, "There's no need.
Let the child develop on his own."Fengtao looked at his watch and raised his cup again, "Fellows, please enjoy your time.
My television station still has a meeting, so I'll be taking my leave first.
Please be considerate.
Come, I'll make a toast first."Zhang Minghui was unsatisfied, "Why are you leaving just like that?
The benches aren't even warm."Fengtao smiled, "Ah, Madam, there are so many people accompanying you.
There's nothing I can do about it.
I'll take a leave with you.
I'll pay today.
I'm leaving.
The driver is waiting."Zhang Minghui was very proud, "Alright, alright, let's go."Fengtao paid the bill downstairs and left in a hurry.Fengtao arrived at the television station.
His assistant was already waiting for him.
In the television conference room, they had a meeting to discuss the sponsorship of a food show.
The female anchor was Yining.
She had graduated from university only two years ago, and she still had the innocence of a college student on her.
She had sweet looks and satin-like hair.
Her voice was moving..Yining went straight to the point, "President Feng, our director has read through your company's business plan.
He believes that your company's product image is very similar to our Restaurant.
We look forward to the cooperation between the two parties.
But, what do you think?
D?
D?
D?
Can we not produce your products in a famous way?
Can we hide some of them, such as the soybean oil of your company, on the operating platform?
The camera will continuously scan through them.""She looked at Fengtao and observed his reaction.Fengtao was straightforward as well, "No, our sponsor's purpose is to maximize the publicity effect of the gold dragon bean oil.
We have to make the brand's intuitive image stimulate the consumers and leave an impression on them so they can buy it.
If it's hidden, it's no different from scratching their boots.
It's better not to advertise.""..."Yining smiled, "It seems that President Feng is very powerful.
The reason we decided to use an invisible advertisement is to maintain the brand of 'The World of Food'.
Think about it, we have a one year contract with you.
If your company doesn't sponsor the program in the next year, we will have to change our name again.
This will also harm our brand, so please understand.""..."Fengtao nodded, "Miss Yining is right.
It seems like our understanding of brands is the same.
Then why would we only promote our products in a short period of time?
The Golden Dragon Bean Bean Ore is our main product, and our promotion plan isn't overnight.
How about this, in a famous form, we'll sign a three-year long-term cooperation contract with you."Report this to your chief."..."Yining smiled, "Shall I communicate with the director of the film again?"Fengtao gestured, "There's another thing.
If our company launches other products during the three years of cooperation, we have the right to replace the products recommended by your program."Yi Ningxi thought for a moment and said, "Then the new product will also be in the Golden Dragon brand series.
The title of Golden Dragon's World of Food will not be changed in three years.
You can change the specific product."Fengtao: "Alright, report it according to this plan.
I'll wait for your news."Yining chatted with his colleagues and discussed for a while, "President Feng, how about this?
Let's go through some procedures.
Your company should send us the revised plan and I'll talk to the director of the film."Fengtao agreed.After the meeting, Fengtao sent his assistant and chauffeur back to the office to change the original plan.
He invited the female streamer to have some tea with him.
Fengtao drove personally.Yi Ning happily agreed.Both Fengtao and Yining understood each other's purpose in the ancient teahouse.
They all wanted to use their conversation to figure out the other party's background, so that they could make concessions.Unexpectedly, the two of them were very chatty, and sometimes they would laugh knowingly.Yining couldn't help but ask a private question, "President Feng, since you've made this company so massive, you must have a good woman backing you, right?
Are you treating your wife particularly well?"Fengtao hesitated for a moment before answering, "The oil and oil have been growing rapidly over the past few years.
I have to focus on my career so that I won't be distracted by my marriage."Yi Ning lowered her head in contemplation.The waiter came to pour more water.
The green tea leaves were boiled by the hot water and rolled up and down the transparent teacup.Both of them stared at the tea leaves in the water with interest.A moment later, the manager of the teahouse arrived.
He walked up to the two of them and said happily, "You're Yining of the world of delicacies, aren't you?
Can I ask you to take a photo with me?
I'll treat you to your bill."Yining stood up and agreed.
The manager smiled and took photos to thank him.
