C716 Shen Mengru Is Back
The banquet of Shen family was held in the hall of a private club in the capital. Although this private club was not as famous as Zhong Wuwei's, it was still very famous in the capital.
The renovation and service of the clubhouse were naturally top-notch. All kinds of enjoyment was enough to make people forget about their home.
As one of the most famous money-squandering caves in the capital, even with the connections and influence of the Shen family, it was impossible to take down such a clubhouse for an entire night without spending a few million.
This was the result of the relationship between the people behind this club and the Shen family being very good, giving them a very low discount.
When the needle was pointed at around six o'clock in the evening, the parking lot outside the club started to park all kinds of cars as usual.
However, compared to the past, luxury cars worth millions of dollars were everywhere. The cars parked outside the club today were a little shabby in terms of value. Most of them were between three to five hundred thousand dollars, and there were no cars worth more than a million dollars.
However, the number plates on these cars represented a very shocking meaning.
Almost all the leaders of the various ministries had come. No matter how close they were to the Shen family, they would not be absent just because of the significance of today's banquet.
Although there weren't any super big shots standing in the clouds, the standard of the banquet was already high enough.
Because of this, the security of the club tonight was extremely strict, and they even specially applied for some armed police to be in charge of the safety of these big shots.
If the evaluation was based on those official titles in ancient times, the heads of these various ministries were basically at least a rank 3 official, or even a rank 3 official. If they were to be released, they would be the governor of a province, and they had to be careful.
The birthday banquet would begin at 6: 30 PM, but everyone who attended the banquet had obviously arrived in advance. They greeted each other with smiles, and said something that was not true. Occasionally, they would gossip, which could be considered a harmonious atmosphere.
On the surface, it was impossible to tell who had a conflict with whom based on their performance, and who had a secret ally with whom.
Without enough time and sufficient manpower, one would not be able to figure out the complicated relationships within the government.
And the clubhouse. What was different in the hall was that the old man from the Shen family was sitting in a resting room with a gloomy face. His face was so dark that no one dared to disturb him.
"Grandpa, Mengru is not back yet. Do we need to. . . Give an explanation?" The eldest son of the Shen family asked carefully.
"Let's wait a little longer. If Mengru is not back by the time it is time, say that Mengru had an emergency but the banquet must continue. However, I'm afraid that the matter with the Deng family will be delayed. "
The old man seemed to be in a bad mood.
"If there's really no other way. . . Can we settle this matter with the Deng family first? As long as the Deng family agrees, we will find Mengru and bring her back. Furthermore, if the worst-case scenario really happens, there are not many people who have seen Mengru. Perhaps we can find someone to replace her. " The eldest son of Shen family probed.
"No way! There are too many people staring at us. If we really find an outsider to replace us. . . It is impossible for us not to expose ourselves. Furthermore, Mengru must be present to settle this matter. The alliance between us and the Deng family is to advance, retreat, and live and die together. What the Deng family values is the power and wealth that we gave Mengru. If Mengru wasn't present, the Deng family would have doubted our sincerity. This is not important. "
The old man shook his head.
"Master, Miss Mengru is back!" The middle-aged man who had been following the old man suddenly rushed in from outside the resting room and shouted with a happy face.
"Mengru is back?" The old man suddenly looked up and saw Shen Mengru dressed up beautifully and appeared at the door of the resting room.
However, her cold expression made her beauty slightly inferior and made people feel uncomfortable looking at her.
"Good! Good! It's good that you're back!" The old man kept nodding his head. The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He stood up and said in high spirits, "It's about time. Prepare. Let the banquet begin. "
After saying that, the old man smiled and walked towards Shen Mengru to welcome her. However, just as he walked out of the lounge, he saw Qin Anle, who was accompanying Shen Mengru. His face darkened once again.
There was still no news from the two men sent by his family. The old man had always felt that there was something wrong with this, but time was of the essence. He did not have the time to think about it too carefully. He could only think of how to resolve today's matter as soon as possible.
As long as it could be settled today, everything else would be fine.
"Mengru, your birthday banquet will start soon. When the time comes, you will go up the stage with grandpa and say a few words. " The old man did not look at Qin Anle anymore and said to Shen Mengru with a smile.
Shen Mengru sneered but unexpectedly nodded her head.
The old man smiled with satisfaction, "Not bad. As a member of the Shen family. The old man smiled with satisfaction, That's right. As a member of the Shen family, you must have the resolve to sacrifice yourself for the family. Don't worry, as long as this matter is done well. . . Not only will your parents be hung back in the ancestral hall, the Shen family will also give you sufficient compensation. You will have endless wealth and social status. In short, you will have a bright future ahead of you. "0
"Do you think I need these?" Shen Mengru looked at the old man somewhat mockingly and smiled contemptuously.
"Yes, of course I need them! The most basic requirement for a person to live in this life is to maintain their survival. Once they maintain their basic survival, they will begin to desire a better life. To put it bluntly, matter is the most important element in a person's pursuit. The so-called spiritual pursuit must be built on the foundation of good matter. " The old man nodded affirmatively.
"Perhaps it's because of your thoughts that the entire Shen family has become so cold and heartless. " Shen Mengru did not argue and only said calmly.
"There is nothing wrong with being cold. The winner is a noble and the loser is a bandit. After a few years, what people will remember is only the true glory and long-lasting imprints. No one will care who is heartless and who is kind and kind. Mengru, you are still young. You are still too naive. "
As the elder spoke, he had already brought Shen Mengru to the hall where the birthday banquet was held and walked towards the stage in front of the hall.
Qin Anle stopped in his tracks and did not follow them. Instead, he looked around anxiously, wanting to find his brother's figure nearby. According to what Shen Mengru told him at the beginning, when it was Shen Mengru's turn to talk later, the two of them would really have to face a huge pressure.
He urgently wanted to get support and encouragement from his brother.
But after looking around, he could only be disappointed.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to my granddaughter's birthday banquet during your busy time. This is a great honor for our Shen family. On behalf of the Shen family, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you. "
The old man brought Shen Mengru onto the stage and spoke softly with the microphone in his hand.
