“Third Uncle, what’s up? We’re here.”

“Your first uncle is calling for the band to start the birthday ceremony. He asked me to come up and tell you younger ones to come up on stage together later.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s lips twitched. He remembered his grandfather organizing similar birthday banquets when he was alive. They would just follow the emcee’s arrangements, go up on stage, and receive red envelopes. However, the process was a bit awkward.

Though it was a bit awkward, Zhou Chao still agreed, “Got it, Third Uncle. We’ll come down right away.”

“Alright, hurry up. It’s about to start!” said Third Uncle before turning and quickly walking downstairs.

“Let’s go, let’s go wish grandpa a happy birthday!” Zhou Chao extended his left hand to Jiang Li.

“Yeah!” Jiang Li nodded, holding Zhou Chao’s hand, feeling a bit excited herself as they were about to meet Zhou Chao’s relatives soon.

With Zhou Chao leading the way, the group of five walked downstairs. By now, the venue had been set up, with a small stage set up at the end of the venue.

Looking at the stage curiously, Jiang Li asked, “Brother Chao, what’s this for?”

“Sis-in-law, I know what this is for. It’s a band hired by First Uncle to perform. There will be singing, dancing, and even magic tricks. Later, we’ll all go up on stage together to wish grandpa a happy birthday.”

Thinking about it, Zhou Chao used to enjoy such occasions in the past. After all, there was money to be had, and they could enjoy good food.

Though a bit awkward and uncomfortable, the curiosity to watch never faded.

“Really?” Jiang Li’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Seeing Jiang Li’s excitement, Zhou Chao gently squeezed her hand and said, “It’s true. We’ll even take a big group photo later!”

Soon, the ceremony began under the host’s arrangement. The first to come on stage were Third Uncle’s son, daughter-in-law, and Zhou Chao’s other uncles.

Following them were relatives of the same generation as First Uncle, and finally, it was the younger generation represented by Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand as they walked up to the stage.

“Dad, this is Zhou Chao’s wife. They’re already married!” Zhou Chao’s uncle whispered behind Third Grandpa.

“Good, good!” Third Grandpa said excitedly, holding Zhou Chao’s hand and patting it gently.

Zhou Chao smiled. He knew it was the old man’s excitement, and he could understand that feeling.

“Grandson, this is your red envelope for you, your wife, and my great-grandson. Make sure to keep it safe!” Third Grandpa took out three red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Chao.

“Thank you, Third Grandpa!” Zhou Chao and Jiang Li said in unison.

Third Grandpa nodded with a smile, and the younger generation behind them followed suit.

Seeing this, Zhou Chao led Jiang Li to the side.

Soon, the birthday ceremony came to a close. Several young people carefully carried a six-tier cake and placed it in front of Third Grandpa.

Just as Third Grandpa was about to blow out the candles, they heard exclamations from the crowd below.

“I can’t believe it, this convoy is too luxurious! The lead car is even a Rolls-Royce.”

“Even the worst car here is a Mercedes. It feels like there’s no end in sight, at least twenty or thirty cars.”

“I’m afraid there might be more. Oh no, why are the cars slowing down and coming towards us? Could they be here to wish Old Man Zhou a happy birthday?”

“Impossible. Among the three sons of Old Man Zhou, the most powerful eldest son is just a small contractor. Even the eldest son of the Zhou family only drives a Volkswagen. How could they know these big bosses?” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

“Stop, stop! The convoy has stopped, and the people in the cars are getting out. Oh my, it looks like they really are here to wish Old Man Zhou a happy birthday. I never expected the Zhou family to have such connections!”

“Who would’ve thought? We only ever see the three sons of the Zhou family acting like that. Who knew they knew so many big shots!”

For a moment, the entire venue was abuzz with excitement. Even the Zhou family members on stage turned their gaze towards the luxurious convoy parked not far away, whispering to each other about who might have arrived.

Zhou Chao watched the murmurs in the distance and muttered softly, “Could it be something that idiot Si Cong did? If it really was him, when I return to Modu, I’ll definitely give him a good talking to.”

“What are you muttering about, Brother Chao? Do you know who these people are?” Jiang Li leaned in close to Zhou Chao’s ear and whispered softly. She had heard him clearly just now.

“I’m not entirely sure if it’s Si Cong’s doing. Logically, with the current strength of the Zhou family, they wouldn’t know such people.

Do you remember the call I received from Si Cong just now upstairs? I told him I was coming back to Fog City to wish Grandpa a happy birthday. Thinking about it now, he hurriedly hung up on me, probably to arrange something!”

As if confirming his suspicions, Zhou Hao, standing not far from Zhou Chao, exclaimed loudly, “Isn’t that Mr. Chen and Mr. Yang from Yida Modu Headquarters? Why are they personally coming here?”

But soon, Zhou Hao regained his composure, turned to look at his older brother Zhou Chao, and excitedly gestured, asking if Zhou Chao had intentionally arranged this.

Before Zhou Chao could respond, he saw the people coming towards them from the luxury convoy. Zhou Chao’s uncles and even Zhou Hao hurriedly walked up to greet them..
