The people who can be here are either rich or noble. The n are either wealthy businessn or the second generation of the rich, while the won are either beautiful and wealthy themselves, or the wives or mistresses of the rich businessn, possibly the second or third mistresses. There are also so n and won who are connected just to expand their horizons. Hongxing Group, being such a huge enterprise, deals with many governnt departnts, but it's certain that civil servants are not suited to appear in such venues.
Yet, high-ranking leaders from governnt departnts have sent congratulatory notes!
At this mont, the beautiful music stopped, and a well-known host from Jiangning City walked up to the stage, delivering a generous speech: "Here, I'd like to thank everyone for coming. To celebrate Chairman Hao's grand 80th birthday, one must say about him, Chairman Hao is a heroic figure who built a business empire from scratch. His story is one every younger person should learn from and respect!"
With this opening speech, the entire banquet reached its climax. Everyone applauded. It must be said that Hao Tianfeng, having started in the underworld, wisely chose to legitimize and establish Hongxing Group, uniquely developing various high-end industries, thus creating assets worth tens of billions for Hongxing.
"Chairman Hao is a low-key person who doesn't want to hold a high-profile birthday party, so he hasn't invited any celebrity guests. Instead, his beloved granddaughter, Hao Keren, will perform a dance in celebration of her grandfather's 80th birthday. Please welco Miss Hao Keren," the host enthusiastically announced as he led the applause.
Hao Keren gracefully walked onto the stage, and a pianist followed her up. This handso pianist is a Level 10 piano master, quite famous in Jiangning City, but now, he is only here to accompany Hao Keren.
But just as the pianist was taking his seat, Hao Keren suddenly had a whim and jumped off the stage, running straight towards the balcony. Everyone was stunned. What was the young Miss Hao planning to do?
Luo Chao was leisurely smoking on the balcony, keeping a watchful eye on Ning Wanxi's every move. This was professional ethics for a bodyguard; the person who needs protection must always be under his radar.
After smoking several cigarettes, Luo Chao lit another one when suddenly a fragrance wafted over. He was startled to see Hao Keren running over and, without a word, she grabbed his other hand and pulled him towards the hall. Luo Chao was bewildered, "Keren, what are you doing!"
"Co with !" Hao Keren insisted as she pulled him, though she was quite weak. Luo Chao could easily shake her off but didn't want to hurt her, so he let her ss around, curious about what she was intending to do.
Under Luo Chao's puzzled gaze, he was dragged by Hao Keren onto the stage, directly to a piano.
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Hao Keren unceremoniously said to the piano master, "Get up!"
The pianist, who hadn't even ward his seat yet, was instantly stunned but, understanding Miss Hao's prominent identity, dared not offend her and stood up quickly.
"Move aside!" Hao Keren pushed the piano master to one side and pulled Luo Chao over, pressing him down onto the piano bench.
Luo Chao and the piano master were both dumbfounded. Luo Chao, simultaneously exasperated and amused, said, "Keren, you don't expect to play the piano to accompany you, do you?"
"Why else would I bring you here?" Hao Keren said with a cheeky wink.
Luo Chao felt dizzy: "But I don't know how to play the piano, stop this nonsense!"
The piano master's face twitched with a slight grin but responded respectfully, "Miss Hao, since he can't play the piano, I should accompany you instead."
"Uncle here is a jack of all trades; what could he possibly not know?" Hao Keren huffed.
Uncle? Jack of all trades? The corners of the piano master's mouth twitched several tis. The mind of a wealthy girl indeed seed peculiar, completely unfathomable.
"But this is a world-famous piece. Without at least an eighth grade in piano, it's impossible to play," the piano master stubbornly insisted. He didn't want to lose face.
Hao Keren blew up, "How do you know my uncle can't play this piece!"
"If he can play it, I'll eat this piano," the piano master, already infuriated, said. Even if she was the eldest miss of the Hao family, she couldn't bully people like this!
"Alright, it's settled then. If Uncle can't play it, I'll give you ten million!" Hao Keren said, making the piano master overjoyed. He struggled to play this score himself; does Miss Hao really think anyone she brings can play it?
Ten million! The piano master rubbed his hands excitedly, waiting for Luo Chao to embarrass himself and then collect the check from Miss Hao. Happiness was coming so easily!
Luo Chao really felt a headache coming. Knowing this little witch was truly not a good thing, she was just here to cause trouble for him.
anwhile, Hao Zhenghua felt totally disconcerted, face darkening, "Look at the daughter you've raised!"
Hao Keren's mother's face turned red, justifying herself: "It's all because she was spoiled by Dad. How can you bla it on !"
Hao Zhenghua was left speechless, with no place to vent his frustration. He had only directed it briefly at his child's mother. That person called Luo Chao is a bodyguard, skilled in martial arts, but have you ever seen a bodyguard who can play the piano, let alone at a level of grade eight or above?
This birthday party was turning into chaos, orchestrated by Hao Tianfeng's precious granddaughter, and just then, a white-haired elder finally stepped slowly into the hall. Everyone's eyes were on him; the main character had finally arrived. They couldn't help but exclaim, "It's Old Master Hao!"
Hao Tianfeng glanced towards the stage, having observed everything from backstage. Even as he arrived here, he said nothing, ordered the butler to bring over a grand chair, sat smiling, waiting for his beloved granddaughter Hao Keren's performance.
"You see, Dad doesn't even care about her ssing around. Why do we worry at all," Hao Keren's mother huffed, which made Hao Longhua blush a little, taking his wife's hand and walking behind Hao Tianfeng, while Hao Tianfeng's eldest son, Hao Nianhua, had been organizing the banquet efficiently. Seeing his father's entrance, he hurried over and stood behind Hao Tianfeng.
All the descendants of the Hao family ca to stand behind Hao Tianfeng, indicating his irreplaceable position in the family. Hao Nianhua, the eldest son, has an only child who is currently out of state expanding the market for the group and couldn't make it back. The second son, Hao Zhenghua, also has an only child who is in one of the guest rooms, angrily taking out his frustration on the hall manager. Hao Longhua has a son and a daughter, the son studying abroad, unable to return due to a flight delay, and the daughter is the exact Hao Keren on stage. The others are just extended family like great-aunts and uncles.
