Chapter 853 853: Grand Birthday Banquet!
Recently, a wave of livestream selling has swept across China.
This so-called livestream selling involves famous hosts selling products live on internet platforms or various apps. The results are astounding, with daily transactions reaching terrifying numbers.
Nangong Qingcheng's willingness to keep up with this trend perfectly shows she has a forward-thinking mindset and knows how to seize business opportunities.
Originally, if we consider Chu Feifei's previous identity as just a student and a popular host, her doing livestream selling wouldn't have been an issue and she certainly wouldn't be inferior to any top domestic host.
But now, Chu Feifei's main identity is the new Chairwoman of the Chu Group, and she has started learning to govern. If she were to easily appear in a livestream now, it might be inappropriate.
Besides, she doesn't have much time.
So, the four of them discussed for a long time and decided to find another popular female host to replace Chu Feifei. Preferably someone within Jiangdong Province for easier connection and recruitment.
"Alright, you have any ideas, just go for it. I'm willing to support you unconditionally, be your backing."
Jiang Feng, after listening to the four women's ideas, immediately expressed his support.
"Hehe, great! Since I'm an insider, Qingcheng has entrusted me with the task of finding a female host. I'll start selecting from tonight. But let me say this first, uncle, don't have any funny ideas if I bring someone back~"
Chu Feifei said with a serious smile.
Female hosts are usually very beautiful, which is beyond doubt, and they're also multi-talented.
The one Chu Feifei wants to find is naturally someone top-notch like herself, a beauty host who is as popular as a hot star in the country. So she couldn't resist giving Jiang Feng a heads-up, a little warning…
Who knew, Jiang Feng, already a bit guilty, felt even more embarrassed hearing this.
"You all chat, I'm going to take a shower!"
Saying this, he went to the bathroom.
Watching him sneak away like that, the four women looked at each other in confusion.
They didn't understand why Jiang Feng would have such a big reaction over just a little joke...
...
Not a word was spoken throughout the night.
The next morning, Jiang Feng woke up early again.
However, Nangong Qingcheng and the others had stayed up late into the night researching.
They probably wouldn't wake up until noon.
So Jiang Feng didn't make breakfast for them and left the house alone.
...
Meanwhile, in the Provincial City, the much-anticipated fifty-eighth birthday banquet of Qi Family Patriarch Qi Xingchun was finally held as scheduled!
On this day, the sun was shining brightly, with a clear sky!
It seemed even God was giving face to Qi Xingchun!
Outside the Qi Family's mansion, all the roads had been closed since dawn!
At least a quarter of the Provincial City's traffic enforcement members were allocated here to maintain order on-site.
Many ordinary and armed action team members were also fully armed, setting up checkpoints on the main roads leading to the Qi Family mansion.
Anyone entering the Qi Family mansion had to show an invitation from the Qi Family and get out of their car for a thorough inspection.
Any suspicious person discovered would be immediately taken away by the enforcement department!
One could say that the security measures for Qi Xingchun's fifty-eighth birthday were airtight!
Besides, inside the mansion, many hidden corners were also staffed by Qi Xingchun and Qi Mengge.
It seemed they were also wary of someone causing trouble today.
After all, setting aside Jiang Feng, the Qi Family has dominated the Provincial City for so many years, accumulating quite a few enemies.
They naturally didn't want any scandal to occur on such a lively occasion today, which would be more harm than good.
...
As time approached noon, the mansion interior began to fill up with people.
This was a venue specially prepared by Qi Xingchun for the birthday banquet, within a garden-style courtyard, on a lawn the size of a soccer field.
The lawn had hundreds or thousands of seats laid out!
The place was bustling, and guests who came to celebrate were seated in their respective places, eagerly awaiting.
In front of the seating area was a temporary stage, which was currently empty.
The birthday star Qi Xingchun had not yet appeared!
However, the guests were not in a hurry, instead beginning to socialize and chat passionately with those around them.
Investment, return rates, golf, yachts... Words that ordinary people might never encounter in their lifetime were continually mentioned here.
No surprise there, as a high-profile birthday banquet like this is a rare occasion for the elite to gather in one place for conversation and exchange.
Everyone invited by Qi Xingchun to this birthday banquet is someone of significant background!
Either they are part of the elite class of the Provincial City, sitting at the top of Jiangdong Province's food chain!
Or they're heads of top families, clan leaders, or top social figures from various cities below.
Of course, due to Jiang Feng, none of the Binhai big shots were on Qi Xingchun's invite list.
They were automatically excluded by Qi Xingchun!
Numerous other celebrities from across the country who have connections with the Qi Family also attended.
Even some distinguished figures from the capital and notable foreigners...
In short, the atmosphere on site can only be described with the word "grand"!
Truly living up to the phrase, a gathering of heroes!
...
"Father, look outside, how lively it is. All these people came because of you. We must say, our Qi Family still reigns over the Provincial City, calling thunder and gathering clouds!"
In the Family Head's room, Qi Mengge smiled and said to Qi Xingchun, watching the lively crowd from afar.
Qi Xingchun was also very pleased, with pride written all over his face.
This was a moment he had long anticipated and one of the rare highlights of his life.
He proved with facts that the Qi Family remains the shining beacon of the Provincial City, existing at the top of the pyramid!
He was actually ready a long time ago, but delayed going out to uphold his demeanor and assert his Family Head authority!
"The security measures must be foolproof, right? Today, I don't want anyone disrupting things, especially that little bastard from Binhai!"
Qi Xingchun squinted his eyes and said coldly.
"Family Head, rest assured, today not only do we have official escorts, but all the family's experts and people we've hired from outside are in position. Not only is it impossible for that Jiang to sneak in, even if he does, it'll be a one-way trip, falling into a trap!"
A second generation member of the Qi Family immediately said to Qi Xingchun with respect.
Qi Xingchun, considered a second generation member in the Qi Family, excelled among them!
The older generation had already handed over power to him and were enjoying their retirement.
Just that, at this moment, all the family members were also waiting outside, not daring to move around since Qi Xingchun hadn't come out yet.
Jiang Feng's grudges with the Qi Family were known throughout the entire Qi Family by this point, and on this matter, they had formed an unprecedented united front, gnashing their teeth at Jiang Feng!
"That's good! If he wants to be a coward, even better, it won't ruin my mood! Once today is over, I'll personally take him down!"
With a cold sneer, Qi Xingchun finally stepped out.
