C379 How Much Did It Cost
On the curtain of the stage at the back, there was a large word "Life". Fifty round tables were neatly placed in the hall, filling up the entire first floor.
After everyone had sat down, Boss Wang family asked the waiter for a cup of plain water. After drinking a mouthful, he said: "I say, Sister-in-law, aren't you putting on too much airs today? "I've just carefully counted. There's actually a total of fifty tables. Can you get up so many friends?"
Liu Hongyu smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's about right. I've already informed my old colleagues in the factory one by one. They will be here soon."
Second Brother Wang sneered, "You're right, there are hundreds of employees in this steel mill. If everyone comes, we won't be able to get a seat in this Di Hao Hotel."
The fourth brother of Wang family said in an insidious manner: "But what a pity, I'm afraid none of them will be able to come today. I heard that the steelworks are having an old staff party, and the date is set for today. And there is a hard rule that all senior staff must attend. "
"What!?"
Liu Hongyu, who was drinking water with her head lowered, immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?" Why didn't I get a notice from the steelworks for the old staff party? "
She looked flustered and said in disbelief, "How is that possible? It's not the new year, not the festival. Why would there be a party?" We just happened to bump into each other on my old partner's birthday, so our luck must be really bad! "
This time, the reason why Liu Hongyu agreed to hold Wang Dashan's birthday banquet was to take advantage of this opportunity to say a little more money and get back all the gifts that she previously made.
The majority of the money she had expected was from her old colleagues in the steel factory.
There were at least four to five hundred people in the whole factory. Just from her WeChat invitation, there were already more than two hundred. Even if they could only get half of it, it would still be twenty or thirty thousand yuan for everyone to pay two or three hundred dollars.
The various expenses for today's birthday banquet were all borne by her son-in-law, which meant that the twenty or thirty thousand yuan was Liu Hongyu's profit and could be put into her pocket.
But now, if all the old employees in the factory didn't show up, then all her efforts were for naught. This birthday banquet was simply a total waste of time. Not even a single cent was reaped from it.
"Sister-in-law, you're actually right. How could there be such a coincidence under the heavens? The main responsibility for this matter lies with me."
Wang Dazhu said sinisterly, "You know, we, Old Wang, were all employees in the factory, too. Although I've gotten rich in the past few years, I can't afford to forget my roots. "
"So the three of us just thought of taking out some money to give back to our old colleagues in the factory so they can relax."
"We collected a total of twenty thousand yuan and had the steel factory organize an internal party. Who would have thought that we would run into your birthday feast? I'm so sorry, so sorry! "
After he finished speaking, he even leisurely took a sip of tea. The corner of his mouth had a faint smile, and his face was filled with ridicule. How could he even have the slightest intention of apologizing?
After Liu Hongyu heard his words, she almost died of anger on the spot. If it wasn't for her supporting the table, she probably would have lost her balance in anger.
What was Wang Dazhu pretending to be innocent about? How could he not know that today was Wang Dashan's birthday! Deliberately sending money to the steel mill to let them have a joyous event with the senior employees, clearly showing that they want to intervene and prevent them from taking out a portion of the money!
It was f * cking unfair that they were harming others and messing up their own good fortune. What good could they do? This was too disgusting!
Wang Dashan was also infuriated, his chest heaved up and down. His face was ashen, and the hand holding the teacup tightened into a ball.
Even in his dreams, he would never have thought that his brothers would be able to do something like this. They were all born from the same mother, so how could they not care about family matters?
Even if they were unhappy in the past, it had already been decades. No matter how much resentment they had, it should have already passed. Was there really a need to go this far?
This kind of behavior was too shameless!
After a long time, Wang Dashan still couldn't calm down. He stood up with red eyes, looked at his brothers in front of him and asked excitedly, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, I admit that when we were dividing up the inheritance, we went a little too far."
"But more than ten years have passed, and you all still haven't calmed down? Today is my 60th birthday, it's only this one time in my life, how could you guys have the heart to mess it up?
Hearing this, the three Wang family brothers looked at each other, then erupted into laughter, to the point of tears.
Wang Dazhu looked at Wang Dashan and patted his arm, "Ol 'Three, look at what you're saying. We've already forgotten about the past conflicts."
"We really didn't remember this matter clearly. We messed up the date, don't take it amiss!"
"I am exactly eight years older than you. How can my memory compare to yours? I really didn't mean it. You'd better not think too much about it! "
The second brother of the Wang family also slowly said: "Actually, I feel that this is quite good. How many years has it been since us four brothers gathered together for a good meal?"
"Why did you invite so many people over? Let us relatives gather together and have a peaceful time. It's also a good chance to reminisce about old times."
Hearing their hypocritical words, Liu Hongyu could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She stood up and slammed the table heavily, roaring, "Who has an old relationship with you? If those old colleagues of ours don't come, then our share of the money will go down the drain! "
"Is this how you do things?" "They know that today is Mountain's sixtieth birthday, but they actually sent money to the steel mill to have some old staff party. They obviously want to cause trouble and clean up some nonsense like having a son!"
Seeing her angry appearance, although the words she said were ugly, the three brothers didn't get angry. Instead, they laughed complacently.
In their hearts, the more furious Liu Hongyu got today, the happier they would be. It had to be known that back then, it was this slut who had cheaply behaved, not only licking her face and accepting her parents' inheritance, but also strutting about in front of their home all day long, making sarcastic remarks.
Now, the tides had turned and it was time to let this fellow have a taste of what it felt like to be angered to death by others.
Wasn't the purpose of inviting those old employees over to earn a sum of money? [I won't let you succeed. I will make you bleed from the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth if you want to be a b * tch!]
Wang Dashan was very upset. He sat back down on the chair and moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end. He could only sigh in his heart and then silently shed tears.
Actually, he didn't really care about the sixtieth birthday. It was good to have a grand occasion in a hotel, and it was fine to have a few relatives and friends together at home. It wasn't anything special.
The reason why he could not accept this was because his brothers had actually conspired together to plot against him. This was practically stabbing a knife into his heart.
Wang Dashan smiled bitterly in silence. To be able to live like this in this life was truly a failure. He had come to the mortal world for nothing.
"Sister, the birthday feast hasn't started yet, right? I'm here to offer my birthday wishes to brother-in-law! "
At that moment, another burst of envious and boastful voices sounded at the door. It was Liu Hongyu's relatives. All of them had gathered together and rushed over.
The one walking right in front was Liu Changjiang. He wore a suit with a famous brand name. His hair was meticulous as if it was his birthday celebration.
Behind Liu Changjiang, Wu Yang followed more than 20 people. Zhou Hao and Liu Jiaojiao were also among them. Each of them held their head high and strode forward as if they were twenty to eighty thousand people.
At this moment, Wang Dashan quickly dried his tears and walked over with a smile, "Big uncle is here. Don't stand, take your seat."
Liu Changjiang looked around and saw that the hall was empty. More than 40 of the 50 round tables were empty. He immediately said with a smile, "Hey sis, in order to give my brother-in-law 60 years of life, you put all your money in this round table."
"There are so many tables set up, and it's even so big on stage. Tell me, how much did it cost?"
