Chapter 239: Chapter 239 attending the birthday banquet, but not eating there
Yan Qinghe was a music lover, and he was proficient in all kinds of musical instruments. Since he was young, he had started to collect all kinds of musical instruments. For this, he even bought a villa to store his western musical instruments.
This piano was his treasure, and also the treasure of the house. Yan Qinghe usually did not want to touch it, and only played it on important days.
Yan Xi walked over and pressed a few keys. The pitch was very good and the tone was clear and powerful.
Yan Feilu walked over. He looked a little moved.
Yan XI smiled and said, “Brother, why don’t you give it a try?”
Yan Feilu said, “That’s not good. Grandfather’s piano should be given to you.”
Yan XI said, “Then you’re mistaken. Grandfather gave this piano to you.”
Yan Feilu couldn’t believe it. He stood stiffly on the spot and stared at Yan Xi with his eyes wide open.
“No,”he said after a moment, “This piano is too expensive. Isn’t Grandpa planning to have an exhibition in the future? This will be more meaningful. What if I Break It?”
Yan Xi pushed him to sit down on the piano bench, “The purpose of musical instruments is to play for others. It’s their misfortune to keep it on the shelf. “Moreover, opening an exhibition of musical instruments is something that will happen in the future. It Won’t affect your use now, right? “Don’t worry. This piano is expensive to make, but it’s not a real antique. The materials used are the best, so it won’t break so easily.”
Yan Feilu’s expression surged. He placed his fingers on the black and white keys. After a moment, his fingers began to jump on the keys.
A smooth serenade in G major poured out.
The entire piece was light and peaceful. It was pleasant and beautiful. It was obvious that Yan Feilu enjoyed it very much. He was also very happy.
Yan Xi quietly turned on the camera function on her phone. She recorded a video and sent it to her grandfather.
After doing all this, she went upstairs to wash up. When she came out of the shower, she saw her grandfather’s reply.
“Not bad, the technology has not deteriorated.”
Yan Xi could not help but laugh. The men of the Yan family were really not good with words. They were especially stingy in expressing their feelings and compliments to the people closest to them.
She picked up her phone and replied, “I think this piano is more suitable for brother. In brother’s hands, it can really shine. What do you think, grandfather?”
Yan Qinghe: “If he likes it, let him use it. Let him take good care of it. Don’t break it.”
Alright, he was really stubborn. He just didn’t want to say that the piano was for Yan Feilu.
There was a knock on the door. Yan Xi put down her phone and walked over. Yan Feilu coughed unnaturally, “Um, Yan Yan, are you still going to eat there tomorrow? I thought about it. It’s not good for me to eat alone at home tonight. Why Don’t I Eat There Tomorrow?”
Yan XI replied, “But I have something to do tomorrow night. I have to attend the birthday banquet at Great Aunt’s place.”
Yan Feilu’s expression went blank for a few seconds.
Yan XI said, “But I don’t think I’ll be eating there. I’ll go visit grandfather after this. You can go over and wait for me.”
Xi Luorong’s birthday banquet was obviously a hongmen banquet. She did not have such an appetite to eat at the other party’s place.
She would have to return to the Yan family to reward her stomach.
Yan Feilu frowned. He had heard about how much the Xi family’s great aunt disliked his sister. He had been very familiar with the servants over the past few days and everyone liked him very much.
Especially since this one was a big star, a big star!
Yan Feilu had almost become the mistress killer of this villa. Everyone was willing to say anything to him. After all, he was not only a big star, he was also a young master and he was friendly and polite.
Everyone had told him about Xi Lulong’s visit that day to teach Yan Xi a lesson.
They also told him about the gossip and bad things about that great aunt... of course, they couldn’t say anything bad, because those were the facts.
Yan Feilu had long heard that the Xi family’s great aunt was difficult to deal with. After hearing about the past, he had a deeper understanding of it, and his worldview was greatly impacted.
Therefore, he could not care less about the trap in Yan Xi’s words. “Did something happen when you didn’t go over there for dinner? Actually, you don’t have to go, and you don’t have to care about those people.”
Ever since grandmother’s death, the Yan family had not been keen on holding birthday parties. Grandfather’s own 60th birthday had been spent in the hospital.
Yan XI and Xi Yan’s situation was even worse. Ever since Aunt’s death, the two of them had not celebrated their birthdays.
Eighteen years old was a very grand birthday. According to the traditions of North Bridge City, eighteen-year-old parents had to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for their children.
Not to mention a coming-of-age ceremony, Yan Xi would probably have to face Xi Jingxing’s sorrowful old face.
Yan Feilu thought about it and felt that there was no need to give that family any face.
Yan XI nodded. “I’m just going to go through the formalities. It’s fine. Grandfather asked Uncle Gu to follow me. I’ll definitely retreat soon. Brother, wait for me with grandfather for dinner, okay?”
Yan Feilu nodded subconsciously. Then, he froze and looked at Yan XI.
Yan Xi could not help but laugh. “Then, it’s a deal. You’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
—
Xi Yaohua had already spread the news about Xi family’s great aunt’s birthday to the company.
Not only that, he even invited a few of the company’s higher-ups to attend on behalf of the XI family.
He purposely avoided Yang Mei.
In the afternoon, these people started to go to the beauty salon nearby to get dressed, causing the mood in the office to fluctuate.
Some of the older employees in the company knew that Yang Mei was close to the Xi family. Back when the company was at its most difficult time, the boss was nowhere to be seen. It was she who brought the documents to the Xi family and asked the boss to sign the documents and give the orders, she wanted to promote the normal operation of the company.
It was not easy for the Xi family to hold a banquet, but they did not invite Yang Mei... this action was quite intriguing.
“Director Yang, we’ll be leaving work two hours early later. I’ll leave the company to you. I hope you’ll supervise the employees’attendance.”
Not only did XI yaohua purposely not invite Yang Mei, he even wanted to dance in front of her.
He had tolerated this old woman for a long time. He didn’t even know how many eyedrops he had used, but XI jingxing was still not willing to fire her.
Was he afraid that he would disappoint the other old employees? However, didn’t Xi Empire want to expand their new business and enter the film industry.
It was normal for them to cut off their business and lay off their employees since they couldn’t make any money from the old section.
However, it could also be because they didn’t want to lose money to Yang Mei. Not only would they have to pay n + 1 to fire her, but they would also have to set up a competition to limit their compensation. This wasn’t worth it.
It was best to marginalize her so that she couldn’t stand it and leave on her own.
Xi Yaohua knocked on the office desk. “Recently, CEO XI and I have been going out a lot. The company’s attendance system is inevitably a little loose. I hope that you can arrest director Yang so that there won’t be any late arrivals and early departures!”
This was also one of his methods to marginalize Yang Mei, letting her, a dignified director, manage some trivial matters.
She was not allowed to touch the core of the business at all. She even didn’t inform Yang Mei of several company management meetings.
