Chapter 896 - 653: The Return of the King (Part 2)
Ren Yixuan looked towards the center of the banquet hall, where Mr. and Mrs. Rong were courteously mingling with the guests who came to celebrate his birthday.Su Xiaomeng pressed her lips tightly. Could it be that the Rong Family has really obtained the evidence?
But... it’s not the right time yet; the actions from my uncle’s side aren’t in place.
"Has he arrived in Beijing?"
Ren Yixuan asked again, although he didn’t look at Su Xiaomeng, the question was indeed directed at her.
Su Xiaomeng clenched her fist,
"Just with the auction of the Yin Family Old Mansion and a name, you’re sure he’s still alive?"
Ren Yixuan then looked at Su Xiaomeng,
"If I were to tell you, I had a strong premonition from the very beginning that things wouldn’t be so simple and that Yin Shixiu couldn’t have died so easily. Would you believe it?"
"..."
"Of course, it’s purely a feeling, hard to express, but it always feels like he’s still alive, just like Yin Shixiu."
Su Xiaomeng’s thoughts sank.
Ren Yixuan took a sip of lemon water; his guess wasn’t important; what’s important is the Rong Family—
"Today marks my 63rd birthday. To say, it’s as if one foot is stepping into the grave, but perhaps as one gets older, one starts to enjoy festivities all the more! Hence, I took the opportunity on this birthday to invite everyone to come for a gathering!"
"I am extremely grateful to all of you for taking time out from your busy schedules to show support for this old man."
"Mr. Rong is too modest! Most of us present have either been looked after by Mr. Rong and the young master of the Rong Family or are old friends of many years, as well as some who have always admired Mr. Rong deeply."
Spoke a middle-aged man in his forties, looking like someone who knows how to make his presence felt in such occasions.
"Everyone, don’t you agree! Mr. Rong is highly respected and esteemed. Having us here to celebrate his birthday is truly an honor for us!"
"Yes, indeed!"
"Mr. Rong, you mustn’t say things like that again; we youngsters are truly unworthy of such praise."
Rong Si promptly laughed and responded,
"Hey, hearing you say this, it really touches my heart deeply. I, Rong Si, haven’t accomplished much in this lifetime, the only thing I can boast about is having known the friends and family present here!"
His voice was deep, and the bustle in the banquet hall quieted down after Rong Si began speaking.
Even though his voice wasn’t loud, everyone was listening clearly.
He sighed,
"This year, I... am 63! Every year on my birthday, my daughter always asks me, ’Dad, what wish do you have? They say wishes are most effective on birthdays!’"
"At my age, what more wishes could I have? Like everyone else, I only wish for my children to be happy and safe. If I could be greedier, I wish Jing’er could lead the Rong Group into a better future..."
Rong Si stood at the center of everyone, holding a glass of red wine, speaking openly and candidly, with a kind and mild demeanor characteristic of an elderly gentleman...
"Now for the main point."
Ren Yixuan and Su Xiaomeng seemed almost detached from the ongoing event, sitting at a corner not far away, listening in as outsiders to Mr. Rong’s speech...
Suddenly, Ren Yixuan said this.
Su Xiaomeng’s eyes squinted slightly...
"Yet, even I did not expect that at this age, the Rong Group would be sabotaged and pushed to the forefront of controversy by groundless rumors and nonsense."
"This birthday has been truly upsetting for me..."
"Mr. Rong, you absolutely shouldn’t feel upset; birthdays should be celebrated happily!"
"As it stands, the Rong Group is the leading enterprise in domestic electronic networks and physical sales. While the Rong Group might be slandered by some malefactors, I believe the guests present here surely trust in the Rong Group!"
The speaker was still the middle-aged man from earlier.
"The CEO of Qijun Network Culture and Technology Company, Ma Qijun, ha... used to be an old partner of the Yin Family, right?"
Ren Yixuan said coldly.
Su Xiaomeng also remembered this person; back when Yin Shixiu had his accident, the Yin Family suffered numerous betrayals and withdrawal of investments by partners.
The largest of which was Ma Qijun.
This person not only withdrew his investments, in breach of contracts, but also incited other companies collaborating with the Yin Family.
Considering this, he’s truly aligned with the Rong Group.
"This guy is cunning to the point of being shrewd."
Ren Yixuan’s words had absolutely no positive connotation.
Ma Qijun, at some unknown point, held a microphone in his hand, and his voice reached every corner of the banquet hall.
