C432 The Zhang Family Had Given Him Face
"I'm talking about Zhang Family." Xu Tiehlin was puzzled, "Did I get it wrong?"
As he spoke, Xu Tiehlin took out a red invitation card from his bag.
This was the first time someone had sent an invitation to Xu Tiehlin since he opened the hardware store. Xu Tiehlin was very careful and was afraid that he would break the invitation.
Yuv Huan and Chang Wan looked at each other, and the two of them couldn't help but smile. They understood Zhang Family, that when such a clan encounters a happy occasion, only very important people would send out invitations.
If not, he would not have sent out the invitation to anyone and directly had the Zhang Family people make a phone call to invite him.
The problem was, was Xu Tiehlin worth the Zhang Family attention?
Even Yuv Huan and Changwan didn't have invitations, and neither did Hou Qingjia.
Yuv Huan did not believe it. Old Xu had opened a hardware store all his life, and his luck was sky-high. It was not because Yuv Huan ignored Xu Tiehlin's cousin relationship, but rather he took Xu Tiehlin's invitation as a joke.
Hou Qingjia had the same thought. He held the invitation in his hand and muttered something about how Uncle Xu must have made a mistake or something like that.
"Let me see."
Hou Qingjia opened the invitation.
Suddenly, Hou Qingjia's expression changed. He stared at the envelope seriously, unable to believe the scene in front of his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yuv Huan asked.
"Uncle You, this invitation was sent by the Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Xianhu." Hou Qingjia was shocked.
"Oh?" Yuv Huan also looked at the invitation card. The names that entered his eyes, in addition to Zhang Xianhu, were Xu Tiehlin, Lee Feng, and Xu Qing.
Below him was Zhang Xianhu's signature.
"Not only did the Zhang Family send out an invitation card, it even signed it!" Yuv Huan almost thought that he had seen wrongly. He confirmed again and again that the names on it were really Zhang Xianhu and Xu Tiehlin.
"Could someone be up to no good with this invitation?" You Mu whispered.
"That's right. It's possible that someone intentionally wanted to make things difficult for Uncle Xu." Hou Qingjia felt a bit better.
Yuv Huan shook his head.
"Many years ago, I saw Zhang Xianhu's handwritten letter. It was as if it was fake. This invitation card has Zhang Xianhu's handwriting on it."
Yuv Huan returned the invitation to Xu Tiehlin. The pride and dignity he had always had in front of Old Xu's family was now silently shattered.
In Yuv Huan's eyes, Xu Tiehlin was the life of a hardware store. Not to mention having a good relationship with a rich family, he didn't even have the chance to win the lottery, so many years ago, Yuv Huan had pulled the line and let Hou Qingjia and Xu Qing get to know each other. Yuv Huan knew that Hou Qingjia would have a bright future.
Yuv Huan had always felt that he was a head above Xu Tiehlin.
Yuv Huan is a university professor, Xu Tiehlin will never be able to compete with him.
But now, Xu Tiehlin had an Zhang Family invitation in his hand, and even had Zhang Xianhu's personal signature invitation. This made Yuv Huan unable to accept this kind of difference and lose face.
Yuv Huan said tentatively:
"Old Xu, congratulations on obtaining the Zhang Family invitation. You have really hidden your strength too deeply. I have never mentioned it before. This level of relationship between you and the Zhang Family."
Yuv Huan's pride and self-esteem made him bite the bullet, so he had to ask Yuv Huan about it. If not, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
"I don't know why, but Zhang Family was suddenly given to me." Xu Tiehlin thought about it, and still did not mention anything about Zhang Haorann. After all, Xu Tiehlin was not familiar with Zhang Family, and only knew that Zhang Family was Yan Jing's Wealthy Class.
"Old Xu, your reason is quite far-fetched." After listening to Xu Tiehlin's explanation, Yuv Huan obviously wouldn't believe his words. Since it wasn't good to continue asking, he could only let out a few hollow laughs.
This was the benefit brought by status. If it was before, when Xu Tiehlin answered Yuv Huan's question in such a reserved manner, Yuv Huan would definitely lose his temper.
Now, Yuv Huan wouldn't say that. Since Xu Tiehlin had already received the invitation, he, Yuv Huan, didn't have the ability to do so.
"It's quite a coincidence. We're going out together for a few days, even tomorrow's Zhang Family." Xu Tiehlin said sincerely.
Yuv Huan laughed awkwardly.
As for Hou Qingjia, he felt that Xu Tiehlin's voice was too sarcastic.
At this time, Luo Yu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
"Everyone is destined to meet each other, but if we head to Zhang Family tomorrow, we must definitely prepare a gift. Hou Qingjia, you have to lead by yourself, don't let Zhang Family down, okay?"
Hou Qingjia nodded: "Mn, I won't disappoint Zhang Family." He would prepare a generous gift.
Hou Qingjia was envious of Zhang Haorann and Xu Qing taking photos while they were talking.
Luo Yu leaned close to Hou Qingjia's ear and whispered: "Don't be discouraged, the person on the Zhang Family invitation did not have Zhang Haorann's name."
Hou Qingjia's eyes lit up. That's right, in that case, he would have a chance to show off in front of Xu Qing tomorrow.
Hou Qingjia's heart, which was on the verge of giving up all hope, was rekindled.
Everyone parted at Xiangshan.
Xu Tiehlin's family returned to the hotel suite.
"So tired!"
Xu Qing went back to her room and flipped through the photos she had taken while she was out on a sightseeing trip.
This was the first time she had traveled with Zhang Haorann since they got to know each other.
"Zhang Haorann, let's go ski next time when we have time." Xu Qing regretted it immediately after she said that. Zhang Haorann only had one arm left, so how could he ski?
"Alright, you don't have to worry about the problem of my arm. It will regenerate in a month." Zhang Haorann comforted her.
"Oh ~" Xu Qing couldn't help but be nervous every time she saw Zhang Haorann's arm.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Haorann called.
"It's Minn Yan."
Zhang Haorann signaled Xu Qing to go to the hotel balcony to answer the phone. Xu Qing nodded and continued to admire the photos.
On the balcony of the hotel, there was a 180 degree glass window. Looking down from the window, one could see the bustling streets of Beijing, which were decorated with neon lights.
"Master Zhang, I want to report something to you."
"Speak."
"The sect already has a hundred Half Immortals. Minn Yi and I have been training hard for the past week, and they have been training very hard. Especially when I told them what Master Zhang said, they have to know that every month, there will be a hundred Half Immortals being born, and the investment has never been higher.
Minn Yan reported to Zhang Haorann about the latest situation of the Dao Gate.
"I gathered a hundred Half Immortals and trained them for two days. I had them lead the rest of the people in the sect to train and relieve the pressure from Pei Xiaoyuan, Quan Zihao, and the others. However, Master Zhang once told me that I told those Half Immortals from the Dao Sect to go to the Water Spirit Earth Hexagram Tavern Tower before. They seemed to be a little repulsed, and I asked them about the reason in detail.
Zhang Haorann smiled when he heard that.
It is understandable, because the Hexagram Tavern Tower has Intermediate Magical Formation, but for people who have just become Half Immortals, they would definitely not be willing to give their lives up to that. You should enlighten them a little, and in the end, they will have to rely on themselves to cultivate.
"Understood." Minn Yan replied.
Not everyone was Zhang Haorann.
Not everyone had the courage to face death.
The thousands of people in the sect seemed to follow Zhang Haorann. If they were to face a life and death situation, there would definitely be people hesitating.
Zhang Haorann understood them as a matter of fact.
"Master Zhang, when you send them to Hexagram Tavern Tower, I'll lead the team." Minn Yan suggested.
"Hehe, do you think I don't know what you want to do?" As Zhang Haorann said this, on the other side of the phone, Minn Yan saw that Zhang Haorann had easily exposed his intentions, so he could only smile apologetically.
Minn Yan had gone to Hexagram Tavern Tower with Zhang Haorann and had experienced many dangerous situations there. The reason why Minn Yan took the initiative to ask to go over was to train himself to grow.
However, since Zhang Haorann was not in the sect now, Minn Yan would take charge of all major matters. Minn Yan could not leave, so Zhang Haorann might reject his suggestion.
"Alright, I promise you."
Zhang Haorann's words made Minn Yan extremely excited.
"Thank you, Master Zhang."
Zhang Haorann hung up the phone and saw a few text messages from Chen Lin.
"Master Zhang, are you free now? How about I go look for you?"
"I'm free."
Zhang Haorann told Chen Lin the address.
Soon, Chen Lin arrived.
"Uncle Xu, Auntie Li." After Chen Lin entered, he first obediently greeted Xu Tiehlin and Lee Feng, then went straight to Zhang Haorann's side.
"Come to the balcony to talk." Zhang Haorann brought Chen Lin to the balcony.
Wu reported on the development of the Taoist department and Zhang Haorann.
"You and Minn Yan should be reporting to me about the situation around the same time. You couldn't have discussed this beforehand, right?" Zhang Haorann joked.
Chen Lin was still under a lot of pressure from Zhang Haorann. He smiled coyly and said, "We know that you have been travelling with Xu Tiehlin and his family for the past few days. Unless it's something particularly important, we wouldn't dare to contact you for fear of disturbing you."
"Master Zhang, the reason I'm looking for you today is to ask you about tomorrow's gift to Zhang Family."
Gift gift?
Zhang Haorann was puzzled, "Just give me a gift, there's no need to tell me."
"Master Zhang, you misunderstand." Chen Lin explained, "The Zhang Family Patriarch, Zhang Xianhu, recovered from his serious illness, and happened to have his 90th birthday tomorrow. I have just become the general manager of the Yan Jing Dao Sect's department, so I am not very familiar with the etiquette of the underworld clans. Because of this, Chen Yichen and I discussed this matter for a long time. After all, we couldn't come up with an accurate solution, so after some thought, I decided to just directly come to find you. "
Chen Lin was worried about this problem.
Indeed, the underworld clans had a long history. Some families had different habits. Since Chen Lin came to Beijing for the first time, he didn't know a lot of things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disturbed Zhang Haorann.
"As you wish." Zhang Haorann said indifferently, "When the time comes, just don't mention me. Just say that it was given to you by your Taoist department. Don't take the thoughts of the Zhang Family people to heart."
Giving it away as he pleased?
Chen Lin was sweating.
Send what?
How could he send them off?
How much?
This is all a problem.
Seeing Chen Lin's troubled expression, Zhang Haorann said in a speechless manner, "What do the Taoist institutions have?"
"There's a Divine Water."
"Then I'll give it to the Divine Water." Zhang Haorann chased after him, "If the Divine Water from the sect or institution have already been shipped out and their stock is insufficient, then let the sect or institution send it over through the Tiger Hawk urgently."
"Understood." Chen Lin understood and left.
