Chapter 1105: Birthday Party
Seeing Yang Ming's stunned look, Chen Mengyan smiled and said, "How is it? Do I look good?"
"Looking good!" Yang Ming couldn't help, but marvel, "Who's idea was this? You three are more and more like sisters!"
Chen Mengyan turned red and didn't speak, but Zhou Jiajia said, "It's Sister Yan's idea."
Yang Ming guessed that it was Chen Mengyan's idea. Lin Zhiyun would not take the initiative to engage in these things. Although it was possible with Zhou Jiajia, she just became familiar with Chen Mengyan, and it was inappropriate for her to do these things.
So the most likely one was Chen Mengyan. He did not expect this girl to give him a surprise.
Ju Yuan Chun's boss, who was standing at the side, saw these three beautiful, dressed up women and was suddenly shocked. He did not know what the relationship between the three and Yang Ming was, but he did not say anything. After all, this had nothing to do with him. Other people come to his territory to spend money, so being a busybody would cause unreasonable disgust.
Seeing Yang Ming's guests were all gathered, Ju Yuan Chun's boss naturally left and let the waiter lead Yang Ming and the others to the private room on the second floor.
They didn't want a luxury private room. Although times have changed for these people here today, Yang Ming still cherished the old times, so he still wanted the same private room as last year.
"Mengyan, I remember a year ago today, you said that you wanted to celebrate my birthday with me, right? I did not expect you to really fulfill the promise." Yang Ming teased Chen Mengyan as they entered the private room.
"I thought you were lying to me. I didn't expect your birthday to be today." Chen Mengyan said, embarrassed. She did not expect that this year would become a reality.
In retrospect, like a dream, the relationship between her and Yang Ming was very strange and sudden. Unconsciously, she fell hopelessly in love with the "bad" student who had skipped classes in her own eyes.
However, Chen Mengyan did not regret it. On the contrary, she was very proud. In a year, Yang Ming's great achievements were obvious to all. His opponents fell one by one, and he became stronger.
In particular, her father's recognition of Yang Ming had strengthened Chen Mengyan's belief. Because of his career, Chen Fei was more picky about people and did not easily admire anyone, nor was he easily optimistic about anyone. However, his impression of Yang Ming was excellent.
Although Yang Ming had a relationship with other girls because of some freak combination of factors, Chen Fei felt that Yang Ming couldn't be blamed for these things. In that case, Wang Zhitao set a trap, and Yang Ming was a normal boy who was young and vigorous. Inevitably, he would make some mistakes.
The key was whether Yang Ming would take up this responsibility after making mistakes. Now it seemed that Yang Ming did a good job. Although Chen Fei did not know that his daughter and Lin Zhiyun had already become sisters, Chen Fei approved of Yang Ming's attitude.
"Bro, sisters-in-law, please sit..." Zhang Bing was walking around busily in the private room, doing what the waiter should do, taking the dishes out of the sterilizer. The waitress, who was watching on the sidelines, became embarrassed. She also knew that the people in this room were the boss' VIPs. Things wouldn't be good if there were any case of negligence, but the guest already became hands-on. Wouldn't that show that she was incapable?
"Sir, let me handle the things here..." said the waitress quickly.
"No, I will do it myself." Zhang Bing waved his hand and smiled. "You can go out. There's no need for you here."
Seeing that Zhang Bing insisted on doing it himself, the waitress couldn't do anything. After all, some people liked to do things themselves. The waitress had also seen such things before, but only when subordinates tried to be diligent before their leader. However, it seemed that Zhang Bing and Yang Ming were good friends, not in a subordinate relationship.
However, listening to Zhang Bing calling Yang Ming as bro, maybe the two people were brothers and the like, so there was nothing wrong with Zhang Bing being diligent. The waitress left the private room and was busy preparing the dishes.
"Yang Ming, I wish you a happy birthday." Chen Mengyan and Zhang Bing did not speak, but Zhao Sisi first opened her mouth. She handed Yang Ming a small box, and then said, "This is your birthday present."
"Thank you!" Yang Ming quickly took the gift. "I didn't expect Sisi to give me a present. Zhang Bing, this kid, does not have a good memory."
"No, he asked me to prepare this." Zhao Sisi said with a sweet smile, "However, our economic strength is not as powerful as you are now, so please don't look down on it!"
Yang Ming secretly nodded. It was a blessing that Zhang Bing could find a wife like Zhao Sisi. Looking at Zhang Bing, he knew that Zhang Bing didn't prepare any gifts at all.
Both Yang Ming and Zhang Bing were very clear about their relationship with each other. There was no need for these hypocritical things like gifts. During Yang Ming's birthday last year, Zhang Bing did not give any gifts, so this gift must have been bought by Zhao Sisi herself. Just that in front of outsiders, she left some face for Zhang Bing.
"Of course not, you and Zhang Bing gave this. Even if it were a pencil, it's still a kind gesture!" Yang Ming smiled and opened the gift. The things inside made Yang Ming's eyes shine!
It was actually a chibi 1 version of himself and Zhang Bing. Yang Ming was sitting at a desk, and Zhang Bing was standing next to him talking with delight, resembling the times when they were in high school, an imitation of when their classes ended!
Holding the small craft in his hand, Yang Ming was really amazed. Zhao Sisi was really considerate; she actually came up with such a gift. Although the value may not be very expensive, the meaning of it was extraordinary.
Some merely worldly possessions were no longer attractive to Yang Ming, so he loved and cherished this kind of memorable gift.
" Wow ... they're so alike!" Even Chen Mengyan voiced out in amazement, "Sisi, when did you order it?"
"I had our company's designers to help make it." Zhao Sisi saw that Yang Ming liked it very much and was relieved. After all, if Yang Ming didn't like it, she and Zhang Bing wouldn't look too good.
"Mengyan, Zhiyun, Jiajia, what about gift from the three of you?" Yang Ming carefully kept the precious gift from Zhao Sisi and asked Chen Mengyan.
"Our gift... We can't give it to you now. We'll talk about it when we go home later!" Chen Mengyan said mysteriously.
"Could it be that you guys were in a hurry and forgot to prepare it?" Yang Ming saw Chen Mengyan's strange look and asked with some doubts.
" Hehe , won't you know once you go home?" Chen Mengyan smiled and said no more.
"Well, but it doesn't matter if you don't give a gift. Just give me yourself, and I'll be okay!" Yang Ming smiled. He didn't care about birthday gifts, just as long as there was a gesture.
After listening to Yang Ming's words, Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, and Zhou Jiajia suddenly turned red. Zhou Jiajia did not have a sexual relationship with Yang Ming yet, so her face was the reddest at the moment.
"What are you talking about? There are outsiders..." Chen Mengyan glared at Yang Ming.
" Ha , Zhang Bing and Zhao Sisi are not outsiders!" Yang Ming said shamelessly.
"Yes, Sisi and I didn't see or hear anything... Bro, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Zhang Bing asked innocently, "You look at my ear... Just now, it suddenly didn't work. I need to repair it once I have a chance..."
When Zhang Bing did that, Chen Mengyan couldn't help but laugh with everyone.
At this time, a knock came on the door of the private room, and the waitress entered with the dishes. This time was not time to eat, but the boss had specifically instructed otherwise. So, the dishes came very quickly, and the table was filled in the blink of an eye.
Last year, there were only a few people, only Zhang Bing and Yang Ming, so there was not much food. However, this year was different. The number of people increased to six, so Zhang Bing also added more dishes.
"Bro, I wish you a happy birthday!" Zhang Bing hesitated for a long time, and could not think of any blessings. It was simpler to just wish for a happy birthday, so he raised a wine glass and said it.
"Thank you!" Yang Ming also raised his glass and clinked with Zhang Bing. The two men finished the drink in a gulp.
Chen Mengyan wanted to remind Yang Ming to drink less wine. However, when she saw Zhao Sisi not mentioning anything, and it was rare that Yang Ming was very happy today, she thought otherwise.
However, Yang Ming and Zhang Bing were the ones mainly drinking. Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, Zhou Jiajia, and Zhao Sisi just sipped at it and drank a little.
In a peaceful and lively atmosphere, one year had passed, and Yang Ming grew a year older. This was a period of growth; from the fledgling boy, Yang Ming had reached until this point today; from obscurity to having the entire underground forces of Song Jiang City and Jidun City.
It was just that Yang Ming was relatively low-key, and these things were not known to outsiders.
In the beginning, Chen Mengyan did not drink, but she could not withstand the atmosphere of the birthday party. Under the insistence of Yang Ming and Zhang Bing, she drank until she felt a little dizzy.
"Let's sing in a while," Zhang Bing suggested.
"Alright, let's go to the Nightless Club..." Yang Ming was also a little drunk. Yang Ming's capacity for liquor was still very good, but today was a happy occasion. People were more likely to get drunk. However, Yang Ming was basically still conscious.
"Don't... there is also karaoke in the private room. Just do it here. You see, Jiajia is falling asleep!" Chen Mengyan waved her hand to object to it.
Yang Ming heard Chen Mengyan's words and looked at Zhou Jiajia. Sure enough, who knew when Zhou Jiajia lay down on the table as if she had fallen asleep? Her face was red and dizzy.
Zhou Jiajia's tolerance for liquor was obviously not as strong as Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, and Zhao Sisi. Lin Zhiyun and Zhao Sisi often participated in the company's banquets. Although they were not wine lovers, as the company's CEO, if you don't drink a glass before dinner, it was very difficult for their employees to drink. So after a long time, they became accustomed to drinking. Moreover, Chen Mengyan could have two glass because of her genetics from Chen Fei, but she was worse than Lin Zhiyun and Zhao Sisi.
"Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you..." When a birthday song sounded, Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun took the microphone and dangled it in front of Yang Ming. Yang Ming's heart was also drunk...
In this situation, Yang Ming was very emotional. If it continues to be so peaceful, it would be great... But obviously, Yang Ming also knew Chen Mengyan's disposition. It was by chance that she could accept Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia. Lin Zhiyun was raped by Yang Ming, so no matter what, Yang Ming was responsible. So, Chen Mengyan could only assume this responsibility for him. Zhou Jiajia had blocked a shot for Yang Ming. Therefore, Chen Mengyan could not treat her so coldly. This was a girl who could throw her life away for Yang Ming's life...
Therefore, Yang Ming did not think that Chen Mengyan would accept other people after accepting Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia. Cheng Mengyan also acknowledged Lan Ling and Su Ya only because these two had to be included. Chen Mengyan had no other way.
After the birthday song, everyone became more carefree. Zhang Bing and Zhao Sisi sang a few love songs. Although Zhang Bing's voice was not very pleasant, with the courage from the alcohol, his rough voice sounded quite nice.
After the two sang, they began to jeer, asking Yang Ming and the three girls to sing together. But since Zhou Jiajia was already drunk and fell asleep, only Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun could sing with Yang Ming.
Yang Ming, Chen Mengyan, and Lin Zhiyun sang a song by Shu Ya. The three of them were clear about why they chose Shu Ya's songs. Chen Mengyan must have deliberately sung this song in front of Yang Ming on his birthday to show her generosity.
The noise continued until the evening when the lively birthday party was over. Zhou Jiajia was still in a daze. When Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan picked her up from the table, she asked, "Are we still drinking?"
"We won't drink anymore. If you want to drink, go home and drink." Yang Ming smiled.
Zhou Jiajia realized that the dinner was over and smiled apologetically. With Yang Ming and the others, they left the restaurant's private room. Yang Ming made a phone call to Bao Sanli and told him to drive over to serve as a driver.
At this time, Bao Sanli had already arrived here early. He was standing in the lobby of the restaurant and chatting with the boss of Ju Yuan Chun. Although the owner of Ju Yuan Chun had heard the name of "Brother Bao," he had not seen him in person before. Moreover, Bao Sanli did not introduce himself; he just said that he was waiting for someone.
When Bao Sanli and the boss of Ju Yuan Chun talked, he deliberately brought the topic to the scene of today's gangsters. After listening to the story described by Ju Yuan Chun's boss, Bao Sanli was also very confused. He never gave such an order!
Now, the profits of the Ming Yang Security Company, the Nightless Club, and Tavern Heaven on Earth were quite impressive. There was no need to get any protection fees. Moreover, Ming Yang Real Estate had recently started. They had collaborated with Zhou Jiajia's mother's real estate company and Sun Jie's company to build the largest resort in the province. These projects were worth millions. They didn't care about the profits from protection fees.
Bao Sanli was sure that someone must have borrowed his name to swindle. However, it had to be said that this person knew how to seize the opportunity and the hearts of people because these people were unlikely to go to Bao Sanli to verify. The first was because they couldn't easily meet with Bao Sanli, and the second was that they didn't dare to go.
This made Bao Sanli smile bitterly. He also understood that if this matter were not handled properly, it would have a tremendous negative impact on the reputation of the Ming Yang Security Company! Originally, Ming Yang Security was the trademark, protecting the property of others. Conversely, it blackmailed others. Bao Sanli naturally would not let the matter continue to deteriorate.
"Boss, don't worry. I will bring people here tomorrow just to wait here. I want to see who will take money from you!" Bao Sanli looked at the boss' frowning face and said comfortably.
" Ah ? You..." The boss heard Bao Sanli suddenly said this and was somewhat inexplicable, but then he reacted and said, "Big brother, are you a policeman?Ai , blame me for talking. This thing is the unspoken rule in our industry. You'd better not care. Otherwise, I can escape from tomorrow but not in the future. I will be punished sooner or later! Anyway, I don't plan to operate anymore. After a while, I will find a suitable buyer and sell it. Now I don't ask for anything else. I'm looking for stability... I don't want to look for unnecessary trouble..."
This was indeed the real idea of Ju Yuan Chun's boss at the moment because he really didn't want to continue to operate it. One reason was that he was afraid of getting into trouble. Those gangsters were not people to be provoked. Indeed, the police came and scared them away, but what about the next day or the day after? Perhaps, when the police were not there, those people would come over again. The boss of Ju Yuan Chun did not dare to do anything...
" Hehe ..." Bao Sanli smiled at the boss' words, then took out his business card and handed it to the boss. "This is my business card. Don't worry. I will be here tomorrow. Nothing will happen."
The boss quickly took the business card, looked at its contents, and suddenly revealed a surprised expression. Although the name, Bao Sanli, was unfamiliar, he was still very clear about the title on it!
The Ming Yang Security Company's CEO... Of course, Bao Sanli had other business cards, such as those from the Nightless Club, Tavern Heaven on Earth, etc., but now the name of Ming Yang Security Company was needed.
" Ah ?" The boss was shocked and quickly shivered and said, "Brother Bao, are you Brother Bao?"
Bao Sanli smiled and nodded. "Those people are not my men, so, boss, you can rest assured. I will handle these things!"
The boss just wanted to say something grateful, but he saw that Bao Sanli had turned his head...
At this time, Yang Ming was carrying Zhou Jiajia and came out with Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, Zhang Bing, and Zhao Sisi. After Bao Sanli saw them, he quickly greeted, "Brother Yang!"
However, Bao Sanli discovered that he couldn't help much. He couldn't help Yang Ming carry his woman, right? So he had to stand there stupidly and didn't know what to do.
"You go and open the door..." Yang Ming nodded and instructed.
Bao Sanli heard Yang Ming's command and then walked to the door of the restaurant in a rush...
