YM778.TV Chapter 199 - 199 Did They Really Get Bought Over?
“Why did the Cai family come in with Yao Gui? Did they really get bought over by Yao Corporation?”
“Even if Cai Group was acquired, it’s impossible for them to sit at the main table. I don’t understand.”
“But isn’t the Cai family daughter, Cai Rixi, engaged to Yao Ziyang? Could it be that the Yao family has changed their minds about the acquisition?”
!!
“If that’s the case, the Cai family’s daughter didn’t come today?”
“Exactly, Yao Zizhou’s wife isn’t here either, what the hell is going on?”
People had stood up to look around the venue. Unsurprisingly, they did not see Cai Rixi or Ming Liuyi. Instead, they saw an old man with a simple and honest face beside Yao Zizhou’s other best friend, Shao Mo. Although Shao Mo was wearing a suit, he seemed to be very uncomfortable.
Without waiting for everyone to continue their gossiping, the emcee said, “There are still a few minutes before the start of the banquet. The lights will be dimmed, so please find your seats as soon as possible.”
Yao Hui and Yao Ziyang took their seats. Yao Ziyang felt his heart beating faster and faster. All the preparations he had made were about to begin.
The emcee started the countdown.
“One… Two… Three!”
As the time came, the emcee said, “Welcome, everyone, to Yao Zizhou’s 27th birthday! Let’s welcome today’s main characters, Mr. Zhou, Yao Zizhou, and his mother, Ms. Ji Yue!”
A beam of light shone on Yao Zizhou and Ji Yue. Yao Zizhou had changed his style. His hair was neatly combed back, revealing his handsome features.
Although his suit was low-key, the fabric was exquisite, the cut fit him perfectly, and the sleeves were decorated with two diamond studs. Anyone could tell with one look that it was expensive.
Ji Yue was holding on to Yao Zizhou’s arm. She was dressed in an evening dress with her hair tied up, appearing elegant and mature.
The two of them slowly walked up to the stage under everyone’s gaze. Just as he was about to go on stage, the lights suddenly went out!
…When it came on again, the light was on Yao Ziyang!
Yao Ziyang stood up from his seat, smiling like a winner, and he walked to Yao Zizhou.
Yao Ziyang took the microphone from the emcee and said, “Brother, Happy Birthday.”
Yao Zizhou chuckled.
Yao Ziyang continued, “On such a happy day, I’ll definitely give you a super surprise.”
“You can’t wait, can you?” asked Yao Zizhou. “Don’t you want to start after you’re full?” His tone was cold, as though he was just finishing his meal.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Mr. He instructed a cameraman to use Ming Liuyi’s video account to start the livestream.
Very quickly, the media waiting outside also discovered that this livestream was actually broadcasting the events of the Yao family’s banquet! All the major platforms immediately started to broadcast it. Ming Liuyi’s account’s livestream was immediately flooded with a large number of viewers.
[It’s not even 8pm yet, but the primetime has already started?]
[It wasn’t easy for me to squeeze in. What part are they at now?]
[You’re not late; you’ve arrived just in time. The Yao family has been very lively recently. They even have a livestream this time.]
[That’s right. The beer and popcorn are all ready. We’re just waiting for showtime.]
…
Yao Zizhou patted Ji Yue’s hand, and Ji Yue nodded before walking down the stage and sitting at the main table.
The rest of the time was for Yao Zizhou and Yao Ziyang’s confrontation.
“Since it’s a surprise, it’s naturally better to reveal it sooner,” Yao Ziyang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen on the stage began to play a video. The content of the video was the same as what the Weibo marketing account had been harping on about these days. Yao Zizhou’s health was not good, so the Yao family’s profits stopped rising, and the Xinghai City project was also suspended.
As the music gradually became higher, the video introduced Yao Ziyang’s personal experience, showed his control and progress over the Xinghai City, and finally showed his financial reserves.
After the video ended, the lights of the banquet lit up. Yao Ziyang said, “Brother, the funds for the Xinghai City project are a gift that I have prepared for you. After you celebrate your birthday, you can go enjoy your life, and leave your work to me.
Yao Zizhou raised his brows and said, “Our Yao Corporation is a legitimate company. We won’t use funds that came from dubious sources.”
Just as he finished speaking, the screen lit up again. On the screen was Yao Ziyang’s office, where a group of accountants were auditing his accounts.
“The Yao Corporation will naturally cooperate with the auditors, so as to not let the company have any financial problems,” said Yao Zizhou.
Yao Ziyang frowned, and he said, “This money is the profit of the company under my name. Brother, you don’t have to worry.”
Yao Zizhou laughed. “The investigation might take some time, so I’ll show you something else first. Usually, dirty laundry shouldn’t be aired in public, and I didn’t want anyone to see it. But since you wish to be in the limelight, I shall let you have your fill today.”
