Chapter 2022 Shocking! He's in charge, you really have a lot of influence!
The appearance of Song Cijiu was like throwing a huge stone into an already turbulent lake.
Jiang Huaiyuan's voice, though not loud, clearly reached the ears of everyone present when he asked, "How come you're here?"
For someone of Jiang Huaiyuan's status and composure to lose his composure like this shows just how impactful the scene before him was.
Apart from the people from the Li family who helped, the neighbors, relatives, and friends who came were unaware of Song Cijiu's identity.
In an instant, everyone's eyes, both inside and outside the courtyard, were focused on the suddenly appearing second son of the Song family.
Faced with Jiang Huaiyuan's surprised question, Song Cijiu did not panic, but maintained a humble and proper smile and bowed again.
"Elder Jiang, the Li family is a long-time friend of the Song family, and Xiang Nan is naturally a friend of the Song family as well as a close friend of Xiao Yi and Zi Mo! Today is his daughter's one-month celebration, and I've come to help take care of things so that the young people don't make any mistakes or be impolite in the rush!"
These words, spoken casually, stirred up a storm in the hearts of those in the know.
Could you please help look after things?
Did Song Cijiu, the second son of the Song family, personally "help take care of things"?
In the elite circles of Yanjing, no, in common knowledge, who doesn't know the significance of Song Cijiu?
The Song family represents the red capitalists, controlling a vast network of connections and resources.
Song Cijiu, as the core of the second generation of the Song family, complements his elder brother Song Yingxin, one an official and the other a commoner. He usually handles business deals worth millions or even tens of millions of yuan, and he comes into contact with ministerial-level leaders. He participates in the preliminary research and preparation of national-level projects, as well as the later construction.
How could someone like that appear at a young person's full moon celebration, and even as the "head steward"?
This is no longer just simple help; the Song family is using the most direct way to declare to the entire Yanjing circle: Li Xiangnan, the Song family fully supports you!
Jiang Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he instantly regained his composure, but the shock in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.
He gave Song Cijiu a deep look, then turned to look at Li Xiangnan standing to the side, a playful smile on his face.
"I see!" Jiang Huaiyuan's voice softened, but the deeper meaning in his words was clear to anyone with eyes to see. "To have the Second Master of the Song family personally oversee things, Xiang Nan, you must have quite a bit of influence!"
Upon hearing this, the younger members of the Jiang family and staff accompanying Jiang Huaiyuan all showed undisguised shock on their faces.
They stood at the back, exchanging glances, keeping their voices down, and discussing in silence.
"Second Master Song is actually the steward here?"
"Wow, my god, just who is this Li family?"
"I only knew that the Li family and the Qin family were related by marriage, but I didn't expect that their relationship with the Song family was so strong!"
"You're so ignorant! I told you to keep an eye on the Li family before, but you were still holding back!"
"It's not just hard, it's iron! With Second Master Song personally involved, the weight of this is truly impressive..."
"It seems we made the right choice coming here today. This new son-in-law's influence far exceeds our expectations!"
These whispers spread out like ripples.
Although the neighbors didn't fully understand what the Second Master of the Song family meant, they could indeed sense from the Jiang family's reaction and from the bits and pieces of information they had heard in Yanjing over the years that Li Xiangnan's network of connections was stronger than they had imagined!
Wang Defa had no time for formalities. He leaned close to Zhang Jingyang's ear, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "Brother Zhang, did you hear that? I only knew the Song family was powerful before, but seeing the Jiang family's power today, I truly understand!"
Zhang Jingyang took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. After nodding, his hand holding the pen trembled slightly as he handed it to Tao Zhengtie and instructed, "The Jiang family will definitely go in first to exchange pleasantries, and then they will send a younger generation to deliver gifts later. Be discreet... or they might just give it directly to Miss Qin. We shouldn't stare at them, lest they feel we're being overly disrespectful!"
It is impolite to look at someone expecting a gift with your eyes!
"I know, I know!" Tao Zhengtie had already heard Zhang Jingyang's instructions all morning, and although his young heart was restless, it had been suppressed.
Standing behind Li Xiangnan, Song Ziming felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing the surrounding discussions. He hadn't expected his second uncle's appearance to cause such a big reaction, let alone to shock Jiang Huaiyuan so much.
Li Xiangnan took in all of this, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
He was very grateful to Song Cijiu for coming here to help, but he never expected that his appearance would cause such a huge impact on the Jiang family.
At that moment, he also deeply realized the weight of the Song family's affection.
Jiang Huaiyuan had now fully recovered and smiled, "Cijiu values Xiangnan so much, which makes me even more curious about this young man. It seems that Guiying and Zongheng have a keen eye, haha!"
Song Cijiu smiled modestly, "Elder Jiang, you flatter me. Xiang Nan is truly a sincere, capable, and loyal man! This is the kind of young man my Song family admires most! It is an honor for my Song family to be able to do my part for him today!"
note!
These words further elevated the Song family's support for Li Xiangnan to a new level.
It's not a favor, nor a promotion, but an honor!
A thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Huaiyuan's eyes.
He looked at Li Xiangnan again, this time with a deeper gaze, as if trying to see through the young man's appearance to his true nature!
The fact that the Qin family treats him like one of their own, and that the Song family values him so highly, shows that Li Xiangnan is far more than just a skilled doctor and a successful businessman!
There must be some quality about him that deeply moved these seasoned leaders of powerful families!
At this moment, Qin Kunlun, standing next to his father, spoke up: "Uncle, Father, Cijiu, Xiangnan, let's not stand at the door. Grandpa Li and Uncle Li and his third uncle are still waiting for us inside to catch up. Let's go inside. It's windy outside, don't let the old folks catch a cold!"
This reminded everyone.
Li Xiangnan quickly said, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, Uncle, Second Uncle, please come in! Xitang and her family are waiting inside to meet you elders!"
Jiang Huaiyuan nodded, and accompanied by Qin Kunlun and Song Cijiu, walked side by side with Qin Zongheng into the courtyard.
The surrounding neighbors made way for them, watching the group with complicated expressions.
Awe, envy, amazement, curiosity... a mix of emotions were reflected on their faces.
Grandpa Yuan pushed up his glasses and muttered, "This is incredible! The Qin family, the Jiang family, and the Song family—these three families appearing in our alley at the same time—this is probably the first time in history!"
Grandpa Yu chimed in from behind, "It's more than just the first time! I dare say, in the entire city of Yanjing, there might not be an occasion in decades where all three families are present to support a junior!"
"Dr. Li is about to soar to great heights!"
"It's not just soaring into the sky, it's reaching straight to the heavens!"
"Hey, tell me, will any other powerful families come? The ones from the legends?"
"There shouldn't be anyone left, right? These three are already scary enough!"
Just as everyone was discussing and thought that the shock of the day had reached its peak, the roar of a car engine suddenly came from the alley entrance.
This time, it's not just one or two!
It was four!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Cui Xingjian, who had been working as a doorman and messenger, was now somewhat numb!
He mechanically climbed onto the welcoming platform and looked towards the alley entrance. When he clearly saw the approaching motorcade, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he froze on the spot.
Four Shanghai-plated cars were slowly pulling up at the entrance of the alley.
In the early 1980s, this type of car was also a symbol of status in Beijing!
What shocked Cui Xingjian was not the car model, but the license plate number!
On the list he spent half the night memorizing yesterday, a number that he never thought would appear was prominently displayed at the top!
Cui Xingjian's heart suddenly pounded wildly. He almost tumbled and crawled down from the welcoming platform, stumbling and running to Jiang Huaiyuan, Qin Zongheng, Song Cijiu, and Li Xiangnan, who were already at the courtyard gate.
His voice trembled with excitement, and even cracked slightly:
"They've arrived! The Yu family! The members of the Yu family have arrived!"
boom!
This announcement, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the now-silent courtyard—
