Chapter 129 First Year Banquet

"congratulations".

"Thank you. Please come in soon. I apologize for the poor reception."

The entire banquet hall of the Peninsula Hotel is decorated in cool blue and green tones.

Colorful balloons floated in the air, with ribbons fluttering like a brilliant rainbow.

Today is the first birthday of Shark Dantong’s eldest grandson, Zheng Jiachun’s son Zheng Zhigang. Most of the prominent Chinese figures in Hong Kong have come to congratulate him. This also shows the extent of Shark Dantong’s connections and respect in Hong Kong Island.

Luo Nianzhong was no exception. The notice came as early as more than a month ago when he was playing golf with Sha Dantong.

Half a month ago, Zheng Jiachun personally invited Luo Nianzhong and his mother Luo Wangyunhua to attend.

However, it was inconvenient for Luo Wang Yunhua to attend such an occasion because of Luo Yinghua's death, so Luo Nianzhong would definitely come to represent him.

As soon as he walked into the Peninsula Hotel, Luo Nianzhong was stopped by a voice before he even went upstairs.

"Ah Zhong, this way."

Turning around, he saw who it could be if it wasn't Huo Zhenhuan.

Except for Huo Zhenhuan, Michael Kadoorie, Li Jiandong and others were sitting in the rest area of ​​the hall. Luo Nianzhong saw them and walked over.

"It's really different from the rest of us. If you pinch me at this time, those who don't know may think it's the Governor of Hong Kong."

As soon as he sat down, Michael Kadoorie teased Luo Nianzhong.

There are many celebrities and tycoons coming to the anniversary party today. Generally speaking, juniors like them will arrive first.

In addition to communicating with each other, it is also a kind of etiquette to show that if you need help, you can work on it.

However, this situation mostly applies to civilians. In families like theirs, only etiquette is left, and there is no need for them to reach out.

So Luo Nianzhong, the guy who showed up at the scene, naturally aroused Mi Gao's ridicule.

How could Luo Nianzhong be used to him? He glanced at him sideways and curled his lips, "Why are you, a doorman and waiter, dressed so formally? Didn't you see the second shareholder coming? You are still sitting here without working. Be careful, I will propose to you on the board of directors." Here you go."

Mi Gao snorted and looked at the few people sitting and watching the excitement, expressing that he didn't want to meet Luo Nianzhong.

"Ah Zhong, by the way, your little princess is also turning one year old, right? You won't just end it with a family dinner without notifying anyone like the Hundred Days of the Full Moon, right?"

"Not this time, just prepare the gifts and wait for notification.

Three months ago, during your eldest brother's son's first birthday party, I spent millions of Hong Kong dollars to give him a top-quality ancient jade pendant. No matter what, I have to get it back from you, a veteran of the Huo family."

"Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its own owner. What does it have to do with my eldest brother to have anything to do with him?"

This is all a joke. In fact, Luo Nianzhong is really not interested in these traditional customs, but the old lady at home can't stand it and insists on doing it.

The previous full moon and hundred days were not held in a big way, and the first birthday ceremony was not held. It would be strange for the old lady not to beat him.

Unlike the Three Dynasties, Full Moon, and Hundred Days Ceremonies, which can be regarded as pure birth ceremonies, the One-year-old Ceremony has special significance.

It is a summary of the birth ceremony and the beginning of the birthday ceremony, and accordingly requires a lot more etiquette.

Such as speeches by elders, hand-cleansing ceremony, passing through the gate, eating apples, rolling eggs, etc.

The elder's speech is the elder's blessing to the baby, hoping what he will do in the future and what kind of person he will become.

The hand cleansing ceremony involves preparing a large basin and a bottle of water for the baby to wash their hands, hoping that the baby will have a pure heart and an upright person in the future.

To pass the onion gate, fresh green onions are tied with a red string and hung on the door frame, and the father passes under the onions in his arms, implying that the baby is smart and cute.

Apples definitely mean peace. I wonder if the apples on Christmas Eve are based on this.

Finally, rolling the egg means rolling away disaster and disaster.

In addition to these, there are a series of various rituals such as wearing new clothes, wearing new shoes, wearing gold jewelry, combing hair, and celebrating the first week of the week. After that, we come to the banquet part. Don't think that you only come here to eat and drink, but you also have to buy three bottles of wine and cut cakes.

This is why Luo Nianzhong doesn't want to do it. You said you always torment your children for the so-called etiquette and tradition. Do you agree?

I think so, I still have to do it.

The big Chinese families in Haojiang, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia attach great importance to these things. Even Luo Wang Yunhua and Luo Nianzhong cannot get through.

If he dares not to do it, Luo Wang Yunhua can pretend that he is not his father and let Luo Anran do it.

Speaking of Luo Anran's first birthday party, Mi Gao suddenly remembered.

"If you put it this way, Qigang from your eldest brother's family in Zhenhuan, this little princess from Jiachun's family, and our little princess were born less than half a year apart. I just don't know if it will happen in the future, ah?"

The last "Ah" was said to Luo Nianzhong, maybe everyone will understand.

"Are you itchy again?"

Who is close to him doesn't know that Luo Nianzhong is a daughter slave, wouldn't discussing Luo Anran's future marriage in front of him cause trouble for him?

You must know that ever since Li Jiandong, a big mouth, saw Luo Nianzhong riding a horse for Luo Anran, it spread in this circle, and it became one of the few points where they laughed at Luo Nianzhong.

A few people were chatting here, and after a while Luo Nianzhong left first.

It's not that there's anything important, but it's almost time. Guys from the older generation are arriving one after another. Everyone who sees Luo Nianzhong, a Hong Kong business leader, wants to come over and say hello.

It's okay that we know each other, but I'm afraid that it would be awkward to chat with someone after posting them.

Walking into the banquet hall, it was already filled with many people, all of whom were communicating in pairs.

At this time, Shark Dantong and his wife were greeting each other at the tables with a cute little baby in their arms.

"Sit here, you brat."

Luo Nianzhong, who wanted to find a seat to sit down, was called over by the charter boat king as soon as he walked in. This also attracted the attention of everyone present. When they saw Luo Nianzhong, the God of Wealth in Hong Kong Island, some were envious and some admired him.

"Uncle Bao, don't you think it's appropriate for you seniors to sit here while I come over? I'd better sit at the junior table."

"Why, do you dislike us old guys? I have arranged for you to sit at this table and you don't sit at this table because you have a problem with the Zheng family? Why don't I call Sha Dantong over to give you a gift and apologize?"

Luo Nianzhong didn't know what to say. With his business status, it was no problem for him to be placed at the head table, but look at who was at this table.

Charter King, Fourth Uncle Li, Huo Daheng. He just came here to have a meal and planned to leave. It would be strange if he didn't drink himself to death at this table.

Half of them are close friends with his father, and there is no one who can stand in the way of drinking.

Sitting at this table, he probably wouldn't have an easy day today. If he doesn't want to drink, someone will force him to drink.

It seemed that today was doomed. Luo Nianzhong took a deep breath, pulled out his chair and sat down.

"Uncle Bao, Uncle Huo, don't worry, I will definitely accompany you two today."

Since it can't be avoided, let's just die together and risk it all.

Luo Nianzhong's heroic sacrifice made everyone at the table laugh.

In fact, Luo Nianzhong thought too much, and the elders were still sensible.

After today's protagonist cut the cake with the help of his grandfather, the banquet officially started. Except for the toast of thanks, no one at the table drank at all.

The Zheng family's first-year banquet was a success. Luo Nianzhong saw that everyone at the table was about to leave, so he left. However, he was stopped by Li Bancheng or Uncle Li as soon as he left the door of the banquet hall.

"Luo Sheng stayed behind",
Under Luo Nianzhong's questioning eyes, Li Bancheng, who had a better relationship with him, said, "I have a business deal. I wonder if Luo Sheng is interested."

 I can’t open the chapter name, so I’ll just make do with it.
