Chapter 1282: There Still Needs to Be some Pomp and Ceremony

It was not until the evening that a group of women returned victoriously. Each of them not only carried large and small bags in their hands, but also had their hair done and SPA. Thinking about the scene when he proposed to go up and massage feet, Yang Dongxu felt that God was really unfair to men now.

"There will be a famous watch gathering in two days. Do you want to attend it?" Zhou Ya, who was wearing a mask on her face at night, handed an invitation to Yang Dongxu.

"You know I have no interest in these gatherings." Yang Dongxu glanced at the invitation Zhou Ya threw in front of him and said indifferently.

"I know you are not interested, but I am going to take charge of Runyu Fund and come to the front? In the future, I will inevitably have to deal with this general manager and that rich chairman. So see if you want to expand this network of people." Zhou Ya said casually.

"You decide. If you have time, go and see it. If you don't have time, just refuse. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you go or not. About 70% of the funds of Runyu Fund come from the companies under my control. There is no need to have too deep exchanges with these people." Yang Dongxu's attitude is still indifferent.

Not to mention that he is rich, he is arrogant, but he does have such strength now.

In fact, Yang Dongxu is a rare flower in the rich world. The growth process of every rich man is a process of expanding his intricate network of relationships.

But over the years, his network of relationships seems to be expanding, but he is not seen at banquets, drinking parties, and rich alliances.

He was previously dragged by Ma Fengyun to the West Lake Forum, but afterward, because of the conflict between him and Ali, that circle seemed to have forgotten him.

In short, it is hard to imagine that such a big rich man is very famous in the circle, but few people have actually met him. And these occasional meetings were at some government business reports.

At the same time, there seems to be less and less reports on him in recent years, except for the conflict with the FBI that was in the newspapers for a period of time. Whether it is the NBA team winning the championship or the Barcelona team sweeping the Champions League.

The two teams are very famous, and the stars of the two teams are now worth a lot, but as the owner of the two teams. Yang Dongxu also caused a period of heated discussion because of his Chinese identity, but few people have discussed it in recent years.

He naturally asked someone to help block domestic public opinion and news, and the Kennedy family naturally did it for the United States and Europe.

Originally, he thought that he would continue to do this, but he didn't expect that if he only persisted for more than a year, as long as he didn't make any earth-shattering noises, basically no one would discuss him.

All he needed was some people who occasionally remembered him or heard about him, and the content of the first picture was all made up of boring reports. Therefore, for this famous watch gathering, famous car gathering, and the rich tea party.

Some people sent him invitations before, but after he basically didn't attend, these people also knew what was good and stopped bothering him. The invitation Zhou Ya got was when she was shopping in the mall today. She saw a watch that she liked very much and thought Yang Dongxu looked good wearing it. After paying the money, the manager of the watch store sent a sincere invitation.

After all, someone who casually took out more than 700,000 to sell a watch is definitely qualified to participate in this famous watch gathering. Besides, Zhou Ya bought a men's watch. Whether it was a gift or a gift for her husband, it proved that the family was either rich or noble.

"Since you don't want to go, I'm too lazy to go. I put the watch in your watch storage cabinet." Zhou Ya took off the mask and said.

She didn't like such occasions. It can indeed expand her network, but it will also expose her to more people with ulterior motives. When she was managing assets abroad, she had to deal with such occasions.

"Have you prepared the full moon gift for my little sister's child?" Yang Dongxu asked.

My little sister's child was born last month. This is also the reason why Xiao Wenchen left home to go to school in Shanghai. Yang's mother wanted her grandson so much that she wanted to come at first, but she didn't come.

When the baby was born, Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya went back, but they didn't stay at home for long. They stayed for two days. Because my little sister was in confinement, it was not their turn to intervene and take care of her.

A week after the birth of the next child, it happened to be National Day. Zhou Ya took the child back home for another week. Yang Dongxu, the uncle, was running around all the time, and only held the child for a while when he was born.

"It's ready. The longevity lock, the zodiac gift, and the full-month blessing bag are all ready. I called my mother to discuss it these two days. My mother's meaning is that close friends and relatives will congratulate when the time comes, and don't make it too big." Zhou Ya said.

In fact, whether the child's full-month ceremony is grand or not is not decided by Yang Dongxu, the uncle, but by my younger sister's in-laws and husband.

But who made my younger sister's family too "arrogant"? There are precedents when Yang Dongxu got married and when Xiao Wenchen was born, plus the things my elder sister got married and had children, and my younger sister got married.

What kind of full-month gift my younger sister's in-laws should prepare really needs to listen to the opinions of my younger sister's family.

"Then accept the gifts, and people will not be allowed to go. It is indeed a bit bad to go to too many people." Yang Dongxu nodded.

In fact, my younger sister is living a good life with her current brother-in-law and his family. His family is also nice, and now they have a farm stay and are living a prosperous life.

But there are those who are jealous and can't stand others doing well. They always stir up trouble and make some rumors every day. For example, until now, there are still people in my hometown saying that my brother-in-law married my younger sister and that his ancestors' graves are full of smoke, he has eight lifetimes of luck, and he is just a gigolo.

So when my younger sister's child held a full-month ceremony, in addition to relatives and friends from her mother's side, people from Yangjia Village are not to be mentioned. All people doing business in the market of Yangjia Village will probably give a gift.

This is not because the Yang family is domineering in Yangjia Village, but because the Yang family has this reputation in their hometown. They are so happy that they don't force the gifts with their resources.

With this calculation, basically 50 tables are left. If Yang Dongxu's friends, such as Li Yihang from Tianqing, get involved, the scene will probably be quite lively.

"Then I'll call Bai Feng and the others. We'll find a time to host them and invite them to dinner in Yanjing or Modu as a thank you. Going back and forth to their hometown will delay their business."

"Yeah." Yang Dongxu responded.

It's obviously much more convenient for women to talk to the wives of the families than for men. Although Yang Dongxu doesn't like to attend any parties.

But occasionally, for example, Bai Feng, and the wives of Lai Tianqing and others, when they come to Modu or Yanjing, they still make private appointments to go shopping together.

"Fei Fei will go back with us at a decisive time. When the time comes, the chefs and waiters of Yang Family Banquet in Chengwang City will also go to help." Zhou Ya said.

Nowadays, not many people in rural areas book tables in hotels for weddings. In fact, as a person who has experienced it, Yang Dongxu doesn't like to book tables in hotels for anything. It's convenient.

But it didn't seem like they were here to congratulate or mourn at a funeral. They just paid for a meal and then went back home.

Nowadays, when doing things in the countryside, most people invite some cooks to cook at home, and the people who serve the dishes are from the same village, so that they can have a good time at home.

The sentence that became popular on the Internet in later generations, "No matter how well you do outside, whether you are a manager or a chairman, you still have to serve dishes when the elders in the village call you back," is actually not a joke.

Rural people also care about face, and someone asking you for help is one reason that they have a good relationship with you, and the other is that you are a good person. If you are very rich, but the whole village ignores you, basically, if there is any wedding or funeral, your gifts will not be welcomed by others.

"When the time comes, let the people from Yangjiayan get a freezer truck to transport some seafood." Yang Dongxu nodded and said.

Although he didn't want to alarm some friends with status, so as not to put too much pressure on his brother-in-law's family, after all, sometimes the rumors in the countryside are not something you can ignore.

But we don't want to make too much noise, so we still have to have the proper pomp and circumstance. Not to mention the expensive seafood like shark fin and king crab.

Some common seafood is rare in Yangjia Village. After all, Anhui Province is an inland province and does not produce seafood. Now, neither highways nor cold chain transportation are as developed as in later generations. As for air transportation, it is not something that people in a slightly richer village dare to think about.

Therefore, seafood, even if it is just common crabs in fishing villages, is definitely a new thing when it is put on the dinner table of Yangjia Village. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but it is definitely a face.

"Then let Yangjiayan prepare more marine fish and sea cucumbers. Get some shrimps too. I'll call my mother and talk to her." After hearing what her husband said, Zhou Ya felt that the idea of ​​preparing seafood was good, so she waved to Yang Dongxu and went to another room to call home on the landline.

The dishes for weddings in rural areas are fresh, but they must be real. Simply put, they should be large and sufficient. So crabs and the like are not very tasty if you eat one each. Some elderly people may have toothaches after eating two.

But it is the same with seafood such as sea fish and sea cucumbers. Larger sea fish have few bones, let alone sea cucumbers. Whether it is porridge or stir-fry, anyone with teeth can enjoy it.

Seeing his wife and mother discussing this matter, Yang Dongxu took a document from the bedside and read it. Although many families are headed by men, it is basically women who take care of things like weddings. Men's job is to stand outside and greet the guests.

So after a while, my younger sister Dandan and her mother-in-law also joined the discussion. I don't know how the four of them discussed it together on the phone when communication software does not have multi-person group voice and group video.
