Soon, a Hongqi sedan drove over.
The car stopped smoothly, and Song Shize stepped forward to open the door. An old man in his seventies got out of the car.
A look of surprise flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.
He had seen this old man on TV before, frequently in the past, less so now, but occasionally he would still see him.
"Song, happy birthday."
The old man said to Old Song with a smile.
When he hadn't risen to his current position, the Song family was already powerful. He had received much help from the Song family, so their relationship was naturally good.
"Just getting another year older."
"My body is getting weaker every year, but you're doing well. You look much healthier than me."
Old Song said, shaking hands with the old man in a friendly manner.
Before their greetings were over, another car arrived, and a slightly older man came over.
This old man also used to appear frequently on TV. He's retired now, but he still has influence as long as he's alive.
"Old Song."
"Old Li."
The old man said, greeting him as he got out of the car.
It seemed to be prearranged. In just ten minutes, several old men arrived, each of them very important.
If the Xu family didn't have Lin Chen as an anomaly, even with another thirty years of normal development, it would be difficult to have such connections.
"Dad, the Song family's strength is indeed strong."
Lin Chen said softly.
Xu Guofeng said, "Don't look at some people whose assets seem to be higher than the entire Song family. Their influence in China might not be as great as the Song family's."
"Are they backed by international capital?"
"Yes."
Xu Guofeng nodded, "They are backed by international capital giants, but in China, international capital giants often have to bow their heads."
"You should be able to understand this if you look at some news."
Lin Chen nodded gently.
Some big shots who used to be very active are now low-key.
"Everyone, it's hot outside."
"Let's go inside. Everyone, eat and drink well later."
Old Song said with a smile.
The guests had already arrived.
Soon, everyone went inside the manor. Dozens of tables were set up in the huge banquet hall, but these big shots didn't sit in the main hall. They went to a small hall.
A large round table was placed in the small hall.
This table could seat a dozen or twenty people.
"Old fellows, I can't drink alcohol now. Shize and the others are at other tables. How about I call a very interesting young man to drink with you?"
"He can definitely keep you company."
Old Song said with a smile.
"We'll do as the host pleases. You can arrange it, Old Song."
"It's your birthday, Old Song. You're the boss."
Everyone said with a smile.
Old Song quickly instructed Song Shize beside him, "Shize, go find Little Lin and bring him over. He's a good drinker. Let him come and drink with us old guys."
"Also, say sorry to his father-in-law."
Song Shize nodded.
He quickly went outside and found Lin Chen. Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao had already brought Lin Xiaoqian out.
"Young Master Lin, I have a favor to ask. Could you come to that room and drink with my dad and the others? You accompany my dad, and I'll accompany your dad, how about that?"
Song Shize said with a smile.
A look of surprise appeared in Lin Chen's eyes. He's going inside?
Those inside are all big shots.
Each of them has a much higher status than Xu Guofeng.
"Did Old Song say that?"
Lin Chen asked.
Song Shize nodded, "Yes, my dad wants to invite you in. President Xu, is it okay to borrow your husband for a while?"
"No problem."
Xu Mengyao said quickly.
Drinking with those big shots is a rare opportunity.
Lin Xiaoqian kissed Lin Chen, "Daddy, don't get drunk, okay? Your head will hurt if you get drunk."
"Okay."
Lin Chen also kissed Lin Xiaoqian.
It's impossible to get drunk.
His alcohol tolerance used to be twelve or thirteen pounds, but now his physique has improved a lot, and he also has internal energy!
"Qianqian, come, let Mom hold you."
Xu Mengyao took Lin Xiaoqian, and Lin Chen walked towards the small hall, while Song Shize walked towards Xu Guofeng's table.
Xu Guofeng's table was also full of big shots.
Each of them had a status no lower than Xu Guofeng's.
Xu Guofeng is Lin Chen's father-in-law. Since Lin Chen went inside, Song Shize definitely had to talk to him.
"President Xu, Young Master Lin's alcohol tolerance is very good. My dad invited Young Master Lin in to drink with them. Your alcohol tolerance isn't that good, so my dad didn't invite you in. Don't mind it."
Song Shize said to Xu Guofeng.
Xu Guofeng quickly said, "I don't mind. With my alcohol tolerance, I'd only be able to come out horizontally if I went in."
Song Shize smiled, "Everyone inside has to be toasted, so I'd have to lie down after one round. My alcohol tolerance isn't enough, so I can only drink outside."
The people at the same table muttered in their hearts.
Is this a matter of alcohol tolerance?
Without enough weight, no matter how good your alcohol tolerance is, you're not qualified to go in.
Their gazes towards Xu Guofeng changed again.
Lin Chen quickly arrived inside the small hall.
"Hello, seniors."
Lin Chen greeted them generously.
The room was full of big shots, but Lin Chen didn't panic. In his area of expertise, wasn't he also a big shot? Moreover, he wasn't just good at one or two areas.
Everyone looked at Lin Chen.
They were all quite surprised that Lin Chen was so young.
Old Song had just said that he was looking for a young man to accompany them in drinking, and they thought the person would be at least thirty or forty years old, but they didn't expect that the person Old Song found was only in his twenties.
"Little Lin, should I introduce you to everyone? Don't worry, they won't talk nonsense after they know."
Old Song asked with a smile.
Lin Chen nodded.
Old Song said, "Old fellows, don't look at Little Lin's youth. A thousand years later, probably no one will remember us, but a thousand years later, someone will definitely remember Little Lin."
"His pen name is Lin Yu."
"He is called 'Master Lin' by many people online."
Everyone looked at Lin Chen in surprise.
"Little Lin, are you really Lin Yu?"
"My little granddaughter likes the fairy tales written by Lin Yu very much."
One big shot said in surprise.
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I am Lin Yu. I hope you seniors will keep it a secret for me. My daughter is still very young, and now my main energy has to be focused on taking care of my daughter."
"I owed my daughter a lot before."
Another big shot said with a smile, "Little Lin, you have many fans. If you are exposed, it will indeed be a bit troublesome. You might even be recognized if you go out wearing a mask."
"Don't worry, we'll help you keep it a secret."
Old Song said with a smile, "Old fellows, Little Lin has a huge capacity for alcohol. He can definitely keep you company. After he keeps you happy, you have to take care of Little Lin a bit in the future."
"This might be the last time I drink with you, so I hope you can agree to this small request."
Everyone, including Lin Chen, looked at Old Song in surprise.
Old Song didn't even ask them to take care of the Song family, but instead asked them to take care of Lin Chen.
Today is his eightieth birthday, so his words carry a lot of weight.
"Old Song, you're still cunning."
Someone quickly realized and said.
"Old Song, don't talk nonsense. What last time?"
"Don't worry, Song."
Everyone said one after another.
Lin Chen also quickly understood.
Old Song felt that his achievements would be very high. This was to find a way out for the Song family. He is helping Lin Chen now, so if the Song family has difficulties in the future, Lin Chen will also help them.
"Thank you, Old Song."
Lin Chen said.
Even if Old Song was thinking of the Song family's future, it was still a fact that Old Song was using his connections to pave the way for him.
