Seeing Lin Qiuhan standing still, Fade Chen couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, something happened?"
Lin Qiuhan shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just an invitation letter."
"Invitation letter?" Fade Chen showed curiosity.
Lin Qiuhan explained to Fade Chen: "It's my dad's old friend who never made friends. He is going to celebrate his 70th birthday and invited me to attend."
"The old man's name is Zhou Taiyuan. He was my father's business partner in the Lin family in the capital. Later, my father and my mother were opposed by the family, and they were expelled from the Lin family. The two fled everywhere."
"At that time, many friends lost contact. But Mr. Zhou Taiyuan was not afraid of the threat of the Lin family, and took my father and my mother in for a while. My father has always kept this matter in mind."
"After my parents settled down in Long'an City, my dad also visited the old man several times. But after my dad passed away, we lost contact. However, during the holidays, mutual greetings and various small gifts, We still keep going every year.”
"A few years ago, I also selected some small gifts to send over. This year is the old man's 70th birthday, and the Zhou family is going to take care of it, so they sent an invitation letter."
"Where is the Zhou family? Do you want to go there?" Fade Chen asked.
Lin Qiuhan said with a smile: "It just so happens that the Zhou family is here in Donghe City. I happen to be here, and this year is the old man's 70th birthday, so I should come to congratulate him."
"Well, if that's the case, let's go out and choose some gifts!" Anyway, the two of them were out to travel and play, and they didn't worry about time, so Fade Chen didn't mind staying in Donghe City for a few more days.
Lin Qiuhan nodded and said: "It's a coincidence that we met this time, so I have to prepare a gift for Mr. Zhou. After all, when my parents were down and down, Mr. Zhou was a timely help."
"Then you really need to prepare well." Fade Chen nodded.
Immediately, the two left the hotel and went out. After eating together, the two visited many places in Donghe City to buy birthday gifts for the old man.
But after looking around, I couldn't find any suitable gift.
Although the Zhou family is not a wealthy family, their business is not small. The market value of various industries has reached two or three billion yuan, which is even stronger than the Qiu Group of the Lin family in Long'an City. The Zhou family is in Donghe The city can also be regarded as a powerful party.
The Zhou family has no shortage of all kinds of luxury goods, luxury cars and famous watches, and the old man doesn't need them either. Lin Qiuhan didn't know much about the old man's preferences about things like jade, Buddha statues, calligraphy and painting, so it was inconvenient to buy them.
Fade Chen suddenly slapped his head and said to Lin Qiuhan, "Yes, wife, yes!"
"What's there?" Quin Lin looked at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen said with a smile: "There is a gift!"
"What do you want to give?" Quin Lin looked at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen nodded with a smile and said: "You also said that Mr. Zhou celebrated his 70th birthday this year, and the Zhou family is a wealthy family with no shortage of money. So, I think the old man must want to live a long and healthy life. So, why don't you give him a gift?" A health-preserving drug that prolongs life."
"Health-preserving medicines are not bad. However, there are too many scammers about this kind of thing, so it may be difficult to get effective ones!" Lin Qiuhan said worriedly.
Fade Chen patted Lin Qiuhan's head lightly with a smile, and said, "Honey, it's difficult for others, but it's not difficult for us. You forgot what your husband does!"
"I—" Lin Qiuhan was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, gave Fade Chen a blank look, and pouted, "You can do it, so don't prepare yet."
"Okay, okay. My wife told me, I'll prepare it right away." Fade Chen went to buy various Chinese herbal medicines with a smile, and planned to make a life-prolonging pill for the old man himself.
That afternoon, Fade Chen prepared the pills.
The next day, the couple went to Zhou's house. Although there were still two days before the birthday banquet, they planned to visit the old man in advance.
Called a car, and the two came to the door of Zhou's house.
The Zhou family is worthy of being one of the few big families in Donghe City. They allocated a piece of land of more than a thousand square meters in the downtown area of the city center and built a large courtyard.
When Fade Chen and Qiuhan Lin came to the gate of the Zhou family compound, they could see that many luxury cars had parked at the gate, and many people in gorgeous clothes came in and out with gifts, it seemed that they were here to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Zhou.
The two came to the door together, and were about to enter, but were stopped by the security guard at the door, "What are you doing, stop for me."
Hearing this, Fade Chen couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Lin Qiuhan immediately stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Hello, we are guests invited by the Zhou family, and we came to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Zhou."
"Guest?" The security guard stared at the two suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.
Lin Qiuhan immediately took out his mobile phone and showed the electronic invitation letter sent by the Zhou family. The security inspected it carefully, and after confirming that the invitation letter was genuine, they let the two of them in.
Walking into the compound, Fade Chen couldn't help curling his lips, and said displeasedly: "This week's family, the airs are really big!"
Lin Qiuhan gently tugged at Fade Chen's sleeve, and said softly, "Don't be angry. After all, it's our first time here, so it's normal that the other party doesn't know each other."
After all, it was his father-in-law's family of friends, so Fade Chen didn't have much to say, and walked towards Zhou's living room with Quin Lin.
A lot of people had already come in the living room, and someone from the Zhou family also came forward to greet them, shaking hands and greeting each other, seeming quite enthusiastic.
Of course, this enthusiasm is also divided. Fade Chen observed for a while, and found that the other party was only enthusiastic about some people, while the rest were mediocre. Presumably, these people who are treated with enthusiasm should have a high status.
After some greetings, it was Fade Chen and Quin Lin's turn.
The Zhou family greeted them with a smile, shook hands and said, "Hi, welcome, welcome."
It's just that after the polite words were finished, the other party obviously couldn't continue.
Seeing this, Lin Qiuhan took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Lin Qiuhan from Long'an City. My father Lin Zhidong used to be friends with Zhou Taiyuan and Zhou Lao."
"Oh, Mr. Lin's family in Long'an City, I know, I know." The Zhou family suddenly realized, and then said, "Please sit down, there are many visitors today, the master is not in good health, you may have to wait for a while gone."
"It's okay. Go get busy!" Lin Qiuhan said politely, and then found a seat and sat down.
The pleasantries and greetings in the living room continued. Although today is not the day for the official birthday banquet, some guests also presented generous gifts. Among them, people with good status were invited into the inner hall of the Zhou family. The rest of the people can only wait outside to drink tea.
