Wei Jie
Chapter 668 Thoughtful Reception
After satisfying the elders' homesickness, the group re-boarded the plane and flew directly to Hanoi, the capital.
…
After a bumpy journey, the group arrived in Hanoi at a little after two in the afternoon.
Gui Mengjun personally led people to greet them. After a brief exchange of pleasantries in the airport's VIP channel, they traveled by car to Hanoi Port.
The reception hotel that Gui Mengjun had prepared for everyone was not in the city center, but in the seaside hotel just opened under his name. He chose a villa area with the best location and the most beautiful scenery for the matchmaking group to stay in.
After everyone entered the villa area, Gui Mengjun instructed the staff to arrange six business vehicles specially for everyone, and to be on standby 24 hours a day, so that Su's family could travel around the surrounding area in the coming days whenever they wanted.
In addition, each villa had a direct butler. As soon as everyone entered, they followed behind Third Sister and Gui Mengjun, and said politely, "President Gui considered that your eating habits may be different from ours, so he specifically instructed us to deliver your meals every day. If you need anything, you can call us at any time to order.”
Third Sister replied with a smile, "That's too much trouble."
"You're welcome, it's our duty."
Third Sister turned to look at Gui Mengjun, "Thank you for your trouble."
"If you have face, I have face." Gui Mengjun replied with a faint smile.
"Not bad, Xiao Gui, you've done a good job." Miao Miao nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone chose their rooms and returned to their individual villas to put down their luggage. Second Aunt looked at the magnificent interior decoration and the expensive furnishings, and muttered, "How much money did Xiao Gui spend on this! We really just need a place to stay.”
Su Tianbei sat on the sofa, wearing flowered pants, and replied, "Mom, you don't have to worry about that! President Gui has plenty of money. Not giving you six helicopters on standby is already a consideration of being down-to-earth."
Su Tianyu sat next to him eating mangoes and replied, "Second Aunt, this is his own hotel, it doesn't cost much money."
"Of course it costs money. If we occupy the rooms, the hotel can't sell them, which is a loss." Second Aunt tidied up her things, "But having said that, this Xiao Gui is really attentive to your sister."
"He's a simp, they're all like that." Su Tianyu grinned and replied, "I'm surrounded by people like that."
"Aren't you a simp too?" Su Tianbei hit the nail on the head.
"You two, stop talking nonsense!" Second Aunt reprimanded, "Be polite to people, don't act like you have no manners."
"Alas, you've only seen so much of the world. You're already confused by being given a slightly larger house to live in."
"Shut up, you talk too much." Although Second Aunt was saying that setting up such a hotel was a bit extravagant, it could be seen that she was very happy.
…
There were four independent villas. Third Sister took Gui Mengjun to visit each room, introducing him to some of her relatives that he wasn't yet familiar with.
The rest of the people rested in their rooms, waiting until about 6:30 in the evening when Gui Mengjun asked Third Sister to call everyone to eat together.
Inside the coast restaurant's private room at the Seaview Hotel.
The whole family sat at two tables, and Gui Mengjun's relatives also arrived. His younger brother brought his wife to help entertain everyone.
Inside the private room, Su Tianyu looked at Gui Mengjun and said softly, "As the host, shouldn't you say a few words first?"
"Okay."
Gui Mengjun bent down and poured a glass of white wine, slowly stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Today is not really a formal welcome banquet. Everyone has been on two flights and is very tired. Let's eat something simple. After everyone is rested, we'll go to my home together, and we'll have a welcome banquet at home."
Second Uncle nodded slowly upon hearing this.
"Then there's the matter of me and Miao Miao." Gui Mengjun looked at everyone with a very serious expression, "Actually, in terms of business cooperation, we and the Su family have already formed a very close relationship. In the past year or so, we have jointly expanded the market, jointly encountered difficulties, and also improved each other's economic income several times. In this process, Miao Miao and I were able to meet and fall in love, which in itself is a double blessing! How should I put it, haha, thank fate, it not only allowed me to make money, but also allowed me to find the right person!!"
"A winner in life, huh?" Su Tianbei took the initiative to stand up.
"Yes, a winner in life! That's a very accurate description! Brother-in-law to be!" Gui Mengjun raised his glass to him.
"Let's keep things separate, you calling me brother... that's not appropriate!" Su Tianbei was also very forthright, "Alright, I represent the Su family and the Tongji Association management to thank the host for the reception."
"Welcome everyone to Hanoi! I'll toast everyone!" At Gui Mengjun's level, he rarely drinks alcohol in general. Company business banquets are handled by others, but today he was entertaining his wife's family, so he was going all out, and downed a glass right at the start.
"Welcome everyone!" Gui Mengjun's younger brother, Gui Mengzheng, also raised his glass.
Everyone stood up. Those who could drink drank alcohol, those who could only drink beverages drank beverages. In short, the atmosphere in the private room was very harmonious and joyful.
After the warm-up, everyone began to eat. Gui Mengjun sat with Second Uncle and secretly winked at Third Sister.
"Dad, my President Gui... insists on giving you a gift." Su Miao Miao said with a smile.
"What gift?" Second Uncle asked, turning his head.
Su Miao Miao took out a delicate gift box, placed it on the table, opened it, and revealed a key.
"What's this?" Second Uncle asked curiously.
"This is the key to Villa No. 1 in Area A of this seaview villa area." Su Miao Miao said softly, "Mengjun said the climate here is very good, and it's close to mainland China. In the future, you and Mom, as well as the elders in the family, can come here every year to live for a few months, just consider it a vacation."
Second Uncle was stunned, picked up the key in a carefree manner, and asked Gui Mengjun, "Are you trying to buy me off with money?! You're too vulgar!!"
Gui Mengjun grinned, "Haha, don't make it sound so serious! I just mean one thing!"
"What do you mean?" Second Uncle asked.
"Whenever you miss Miao Miao, you can fly over." Gui Mengjun said very seriously and thoughtfully.
Second Uncle originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Gui Mengjun's expression and listening to his words, he also nodded very seriously, "Alright! I'll transfer the down payment to you tomorrow!"
"Haha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Second Uncle also completely recognized Gui Mengjun at this moment. Other external conditions were not important to Second Uncle.
What was important was that he cared about his daughter and treated her well, that was enough.
Having just met, he couldn't accept the villa for nothing. Second Uncle accepted the key and was considering Miao Miao's dowry.
…
While everyone was eating, Gui Mengjun's phone rang with a text message notification. He picked it up and glanced at it, only to see it read:
"Internal announcement, the Governor is critically ill!"
