Chapter 228 Lively Celebration
Chapter 228 Lively Celebration
On the day of the banquet, when Xue Xuelin and Su Zhaozhao arrived together and everyone entered the banquet hall, they were simply shocked by the scene before them.
The magnificent, upscale banquet hall held over a hundred tables. Because it was such a grand occasion, many residents had already arrived, exchanging pleasantries and beaming with joy. The grand spectacle was met with constant exclamations of amazement, and the social media feeds were abuzz with the news.
Even Xue Xuelin's parents and Su Zhaozhao's father, accustomed to grand occasions, narrowed their eyes. Such a lively, harmonious, and warm life was rare. After all, in this day and age, it was impossible to chat and talk so freely and without any precautions.
Their faces were filled with surprise and excitement. Led by Shang Qing and Ji Xun, they enthusiastically waved to those who stood up and greeted them. Although there was some embarrassment, they were mostly filled with pride.
Although Ji Xun was not their child, in their minds, the relationship between the several families could be regarded as that of family members. It was like they were proud that their eldest nephew had achieved such excellent results.
Shang Qing and Ji Xun invited them to the front few tables. These tables were reserved for those they wanted to invite. Community leaders also sat at these tables, watching with satisfaction as the crowds grew.
When the community leaders saw Xue Xuelin's parents, they exchanged warm greetings. The principal and teachers, on the other hand, smiled broadly when they saw Su Zhaozhao's father, introducing them to each other. The mayor and other leading figures also showed up uninvited.
Now, what was originally just a small community celebration has become even more lively.
Su Yan and the teacher were originally accompanied by Shang Qing, Grandma Kang and others. They were chatting lively, laughing and feeling very comfortable.
When the mayor arrived, he saw Teacher Su at first sight and hurried forward to greet her politely. Teacher Su's husband was admired and very famous, and many senior leaders knew him.
So, because many community residents who were away from home came back, the reserved tables were full, but no one minded at all. They found a lot of plastic stools and everyone squeezed together to eat more happily.
City leaders spoke, as did school leaders. Because Dijing High School had its first provincial top scorer, the school leaders, as a role model, gifted Ji Xun an apartment, much to the envy of many. City leaders presented Ji Xun with an award and congratulated him.
The people at other tables watched this scene with even greater curiosity and envy. Especially those who had come back from other places, who felt it was worth it. They encouraged their own children to study hard and strive for excellence.
Many children, both adults and children, looked at the dazzling and handsome boy surrounded in the middle, and secretly made up their minds to study hard and become such a great role model like Brother Ji Xun.
As Ji Xun spoke, he stood alone on the stage, his gaze fixed on Shang Qing and Grandma Kang's table. His face was gentle and soft, his voice pleasant. He expressed his sincere gratitude to Grandma Kang and Shang Qing, saying that if it weren't for their care for a stranger like him, he might have died quietly in the hospital and wouldn't have achieved such success. He would always consider Grandma Kang his own grandmother.
He didn't mention Shang Qing as his sister. Ji Xun didn't want to admit their sibling relationship in front of so many people. He had his own selfish motives. Fortunately, his selfish motives at the moment provided the best support and acceptance for the smooth progress of the future.
Upon hearing this, the city leaders were stunned for a moment. How could he have nearly died? Such a great honor fell upon our city, how could such a thing happen! What if it fermented? What should we do? Immediately pay attention, look at each other, and let the people under their command investigate.
As a result, the crackdown on bullying was once again put on the agenda. Those serving sentences in prison who had harmed Ji Xun were given increased sentences. This was a great relief!
The community leaders were all beaming. Having so many leaders, both big and small, here was truly impressive and prestigious. Which community could be so well run? Oh, no, their community didn't have a provincial champion. Hahahaha.
They had no shortage of funds. The reason was simple. Most of the funds were handled by a large company. The head of this company was also a friend of Shang Qing. However, this friend didn't allow them to tell Shang Qing.
The community leaders, both big and small, were practically beating their chests in exclamation. How come all the people Shang Qing knew were so wealthy and powerful? This girl looked low-key, but in fact, she was surrounded by low-key wealthy and powerful people.
Of course, they couldn't let the company suffer any loss, so they specifically expressed their gratitude in some announcements. They did a good job in promoting the product.
When Ji Xun found out later, his eyes darkened. It was not for anything else, but because he knew who the person who paid the price was. It was none other than Lai Lin.
But later, he felt relieved. Lai Lin didn't let Shang Qing know so that she wouldn't have to worry about him. So, his character was still acceptable.
Ji Xun still told Shang Qing about this matter. He couldn't keep it secret.
Shang Qing immediately called Lai Lin and expressed his gratitude. Lai Lin's words echoed Yang Linai's. He wanted to collaborate with the community, and having a good impression would make collaboration more convenient and harmonious.
Shang Qing felt that Lai Lin and Yang Linai were both bosses with financial acumen, and couldn't help but admire them.
Ji Xun next to him shook his head secretly. Fortunately, sister...well...this is also good...simple and happy.
However, Lai Lin and Yang Linai were truly selfless. For some reason, Ji Xun felt a little sympathetic towards them.
Thanks to this successful event, the occupancy rate of the Yanglinai Hotel has reached a record high, and the credibility and reputation of the Lailin Company have increased.
This was an unexpected gain, and it really confirmed the reasons they gave to Shang Qing.
The adults of both families were amazed and impressed, believing their son to be a true business genius. At such a young age, having just graduated from high school, he had already achieved such great success. Who else could do that? Their son could do it! Let those rivals and those pessimistic old men envy him!
Life went on like this. Ji Xun became famous, Shang Qing also became famous. So much so that the video shot by Yao Yue became even more popular.
Especially when everyone knew that Ji Xun was actually the provincial top scholar, they left messages hoping to meet him by chance.
In order to avoid causing trouble to Shang Qing and Ji Xun's lives, Yao Yue directly deleted the video instead of taking it off the shelves.
Yu Yuan expressed his support for Yao Yue's approach.
If they don't delete it, it might bring them traffic, fame, and of course money. But if it causes trouble to their friends, they would rather not have it.
Shang Qing has a video account, which she downloaded just to follow Yao Yue, but she is very busy every day. Besides, she is not very interested in this platform, so she rarely logs in or pays attention to it.
Ji Xun was the first to discover the video deletion. He downloaded it because of the video Yao Yue posted about him and Shang Qing.
Ji Xun was very moved by Yao Yue's sincerity and generosity as a friend, and sent a sincere message to express his gratitude.
In life, having a selfless and kind friend is something to be grateful for.
