237: Chapter 237 The Birthday Banquet Begins
The members of the Feng Family had long been seated, but everyone in the entire Feng Family was most focused on those few tables inside the main hall.
Although these tables in the main hall were reserved only for direct descendants, that did not mean the younger generation could sit there; even the young master of the Feng Family, Feng Hao, could only sit in the courtyard.
Therefore, the younger generation was very curious about which member of the younger generation of the Feng Family would be qualified to sit at those tables in the main hall this year.
Soon, everyone noticed Qin Chuan and Qin Lan walking over.
"Brother, let's sit here."
Qin Lan pulled her brother, wanting to sit with the many members of the younger generation of the Feng Family.
"You don't have the qualifications to sit here!"
Feng Fangfang was the first to block them, then she pointed to a table in the corner of the courtyard: "Your seats are over there."
This seating was reserved for some of the Feng Family's servants; after all, today was the old master's birthday, so it was only natural to let the Feng Family's servants also experience the liveliness.
As soon as Feng Fangfang said this, the younger generation of the Feng Family at the table all wore mocking expressions.
They wanted to tell Qin Chuan that he was just a grandson from an outside branch!
In the Feng Family, he was only fit to sit with the servants.
He had no qualifications to sit with them, the younger generation of the Feng Family.
Qin Lan tugged on her brother's hand: "Brother, it's okay."
Qin Chuan smiled, not Life Qi, and led his sister by the hand to the table in the furthest corner.
This table was blocked by a tree, so most people wouldn't even notice it.
"Hahaha..."
The table with the younger generation all burst into laughter.
"Still wanting to sit at our table, what was he thinking?"
"Does he even deserve it?"
"Just honestly sit with the servants!"
"..."
Everyone mocked him.
Even the Feng Family's servants, seeing Qin Chuan take a seat at the servants' table, shook their heads and sneered.
After all, he was of a different surname.
Feng Rongrong pushed up her glasses: "It seems he has some self-awareness, knowing that he needs to keep his tail tucked in the Feng Family. It shows that he listened to what I said yesterday."
Yesterday, she was truly angered by Qin Chuan and thought this guy might have some backbone.
Now it seems he is nothing special.
"What else could he do if he didn't tuck his tail? I guess he is enjoying the noble status brought by the Feng Family right now," Feng Fangfang sneered.
"Hahaha..."
Another burst of uproarious laughter followed immediately.
"But speaking of which, Feng Lei is coming back to wish Grandpa a happy birthday this year. I'm afraid he will be the only one among the younger generation qualified to sit in the main hall," Feng Hao said, feeling a little envious.
Being able to sit in the main hall meant one's status in the Feng Family was absolutely very high, and it was also a validation of one's strength.
Even he, the young master of the Feng Family, did not have this qualification.
The overseas returnee Feng Rongrong naturally didn't have it either. Although she had the surname Feng, her father was ultimately of a different surname.
Unless she could produce some very impressive achievements, it was impossible for her to have the qualification to sit in the main hall.
Feng Taihe and Feng Taifeng, the two sons of the old master of the Feng Family, were naturally seated in the main hall.
They were also at the same table as Feng Shirong.
They were in the main hall, but they also noticed Qin Chuan at the servants' table.
Feng Shirong frowned slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.
Tempering this child's character was not a bad thing.
"Yo, isn't this the young master? Why are you sitting at the same table as us servants?" A servant saw Qin Chuan sit down and couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
Qin Chuan was not Life Qi, but he said calmly: "With my status, no matter where I sit, I am the core."
As soon as these words came out, it drew laughter from quite a few servants.
However, everyone was still very restrained; after all, they were just servants, and they wouldn't really dare to mock him to his face, but there were still a few servants who laughed wantonly.
"Then why don't you go sit inside the main hall?" The servant from before sneered.
Qin Chuan did not answer this question; he just glanced at the main hall. There were three tables in the main hall in total.
The direct descendants of the Feng Family couldn't even fill one table, because the number of Feng Family core members who could enter and sit in the main hall was small.
However, what surprised Qin Chuan was that Feng Rongrong's mother, his aunt Feng Xiu, was actually qualified to sit in the main hall.
But soon, he didn't care anymore.
In his eyes, the Feng Family was actually just a speck of dust.
Sitting here or sitting in the main hall made no difference to Qin Chuan.
Just as he said, with his status, no matter where he sat, he would be the core.
"Chairman of the Zhoufa Group... Chairman Zhou has arrived!" Just at this moment, a shout came from outside the door.
The Zhoufa Group was a real estate group, and in Hong Kong, it also had the reputation of being a small Xu Bancheng.
His net worth already exceeded one hundred billion!
"This is..."
Feng Shirong looked at the few core members of the Feng Family beside him.
Feng Taihe smiled: "Father, I called him."
Yesterday, Feng Shirong specifically instructed that all the connections the Feng Family could use should be called over.
Because today's birthday banquet was also a time for the Feng Family to display its strength.
"Old Master Feng, I wish you fortune as vast as the East Sea and a lifespan as long as the Southern Mountain!"
Chairman Zhou also presented a congratulatory gift. A jade Guanyin worth ten million!
"Tsk tsk..."
Feng Hao sighed with emotion: "This is just the tip of the iceberg of my father's connections."
Feng Rongrong pushed up her glasses, but she wasn't envious: "When we members of the younger generation can call over such big figures, then we will be qualified to sit in the main hall."
"Rongrong, Grandpa is having his birthday this year, did you call anyone?" Feng Fangfang asked curiously.
Feng Rongrong smiled without saying a word.
It wasn't just the Feng Family elders who needed to call connections; the younger generation could too.
Therefore, such a birthday banquet was also a time for the younger generation to compete in strength.
A person with a net worth of over one hundred billion like Chairman Zhou naturally sat in the main hall.
Before long.
"Professor Wen Yu from the University of Hong Kong has arrived!" A shout came from outside the door.
Professor Wen Yu of Hong Kong!
Although her net worth was not as high as Chairman Zhou's, her social status was not low.
The members of the Feng Family all looked at each other; everyone wanted to know who had called Professor Wen Yu.
Immediately after, a figure stood up. Feng Rongrong!
She walked towards Professor Wen Yu with a proud expression.
"Teacher!"
"Returning from studying abroad and not coming to sit with your teacher."
Professor Wen Yu was a female professor in her sixties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking somewhat kind, but with a hint of sternness within that kindness.
"Teacher, Grandpa is celebrating his birthday at home, there are indeed many things to do," Feng Rongrong said apologetically.
This scene drew envy from countless members of the younger generation.
This was Professor Wen Yu!
"So it's a professor from the University of Hong Kong." Feng Fangfang was truly envious.
Not to mention her, even Feng Hao, the young master, was very envious, because not many young people in the Feng Family could invite someone of this level.
After exchanging pleasantries with Professor Wen Yu, Feng Rongrong looked triumphantly in one direction.
"Qin Chuan..."
"Do you feel now that I am qualified to teach you how to do things?"
