The next day, Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan, who had already learned that their in-laws were coming, hosted a banquet at their home to entertain them.
The elderly couple even stood at the gate of the courtyard to welcome their in-laws.
"Welcome, welcome, Principal Jiang! Mother-in-law, it's been so long since we last met!" Upon seeing his eldest daughter-in-law's parents, Old Huang warmly stepped forward and shook hands with Principal Jiang.
Zeng Lijuan also grabbed Jiang Rong's hand and said to Ji Lan, "Come on, come on, it's hot outside, let's go home quickly."
At this moment, Jiang Shan and Wu Xin, along with Jiang Yufei, took the initiative to greet Lao Huang and his wife.
Hello, uncles and aunties!
Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!
Looking at the family of three, especially Jiang Yufei, Zeng Lijuan exclaimed happily, "Is this Feifei? She's grown so much!"
Ji Lan chimed in from the side, "That's right, time flies by so fast, we'll be seniors soon."
"Really? You're already a senior!" Zeng Lijuan was genuinely surprised.
Then Zeng Lijuan asked with a smile, "You have a boyfriend now?"
Jiang Yufei's face flushed red, and she said shyly, "Grandma, I don't have a boyfriend yet."
Zeng Lijuan smiled and took Jiang Yufei's hand, leading her into the house as well, praising, "Such a pretty girl, she won't have trouble finding a girlfriend."
The old villa where Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan live is completely different in style from the house where Jiang Rong lives. This old villa has experienced a century of vicissitudes, and its classical style and luxury are everywhere.
This was Jiang Yufei's first time visiting the legendary old villa. She had heard that the old villas in Shanghai were always occupied by high-ranking officials and nobles, both in the past and present.
So she was extremely curious about the house, inside and out. However, she was only curious about the furnishings and layout, but she didn't really like the classical style. After all, young people like her preferred modern decorating styles, such as the style of her aunt's house.
However, she was very interested in the garden of this old house, and while the elders were chatting in the living room, she took the opportunity to visit the garden.
The entire garden covers a very large area. In Shanghai, where land is extremely valuable, it is rare to find such a large old villa in the city's main urban area. This fully demonstrates the Huang family's strength, as this is a house that ordinary people cannot afford.
The garden is not only large in area, but also very beautiful. It has everything from rockeries and pavilions to fish ponds, as well as a sizable lawn that looks like a green carpet.
Jiang Yufei kept taking pictures of herself with her phone, with this garden in the background. She planned to send them to her three roommates that night to show them what a real private garden looked like.
This is because she has never been to the "Lake Hermitage" in Suzhou. If she had been to the "Lake Hermitage", she would not have this thought at the moment.
Just as she was leisurely enjoying the garden scenery in the pavilion, someone came in from outside the gate. It seemed to be a family. Jiang Yufei guessed that they should be the Huang family, but it didn't look like Huang Xiaochuan.
When Huang Erhe arrived at his parents' house with Cheng Jing and the three children, he saw a girl in the pavilion. He immediately guessed that this might be his sister-in-law Jiang Rong's niece.
He smiled kindly at Jiang Yufei.
Cheng Jing then asked, "Do you know him?"
Holding his youngest daughter, Huang Erhe explained, "She should be my sister-in-law's niece."
"Really!" Cheng Jing couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yufei a few more times.
"Let's go inside quickly, so Dandan doesn't get sunburned," Huang Erhe urged.
The family of five entered the house, and naturally there was another round of introductions and greetings. With the addition of several children, especially Huang Ruidan, who was just over a year old, being carried around by several elders, it was incredibly lively.
Shortly after Huang Erhe's family entered the house, Huang Xiaochuan also arrived, but he came alone. Yu Xiang had taken the little girl to Hong Kong, and his son Huang Zeji had gone to summer camp. Now he was all alone, but Gao Song was following behind him.
Jiang Yufei recognized him at a glance because Huang Xiaochuan looked almost exactly like the photo in the magazine, and was also very recognizable.
She stepped forward and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Huang!"
Huang Xiaochuan was taken aback for a moment, then he realized what he meant and asked with a smile, "You're Feifei, right?"
Jiang Yufei was delighted that Asia's richest man still remembered her: "Uncle Huang, you have such a good memory! You still remember me?"
"That's right, I didn't expect you to be so big. I remember when I first met you, you were only this small, right?" Huang Xiaochuan gestured towards his knees.
Jiang Yufei smiled and nodded.
Huang Xiaochuan waved to Jiang Yufei: "It's hot outside, let's go inside and talk!"
Principal Jiang and Ji Lan were very pleased, which showed that the Huang family still respected the Jiang family. They had originally thought that the youngest son of the Huang family might not show up, but they did not expect that he would not only come, but also greet them with the courtesy due to a junior.
After Huang Xiaochuan sat down, Ji Lan asked, "Why haven't I seen your wife and children?"
Huang Xiaochuan patiently explained, "She went to Hong Kong for some business and took her daughter with her. My son went to summer camp and won't be back until next month. I'm home alone now."
While her brother-in-law was talking to his family, Jiang Rong called Gao Song outside.
"Teacher Jiang, is there something you need?" Gao Song was also puzzled by Jiang Rong's actions.
Jiang Rong sought out Gao Song because of her niece Jiang Yufei's internship. She had thought about it for a long time last night and felt it wasn't appropriate to trouble her brother-in-law for such a small matter, since he was always busy with important things.
After much thought, she thought of Gao Song. She felt that asking Gao Song for help would be the same. She knew that her brother-in-law entrusted many things to Gao Song, and Gao Song was very capable and had excellent interpersonal skills. People outside knew that, to some extent, Gao Song was the representative of her brother-in-law.
Jiang Rong cut to the chase: "Assistant Gao, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Upon hearing this, Gao Song quickly said, "Teacher Jiang, please don't say that. Please feel free to ask if there's anything you need."
Jiang Rong was very satisfied with Gao Song's attitude towards her, so she told Gao Song about her idea of arranging for Jiang Yufei to find a hotel internship in Shanghai and asked him to put in the effort.
Upon hearing that it was such a simple matter, Gao Song agreed without hesitation.
"That's no problem, Professor Jiang. Do you have any other requests?"
Jiang Rong waved her hand: "That's all. Just arrange a suitable hotel."
"Alright, the hotel is ready. How about the Illusion Carlton Hotel in Tower A of the IFC?" Gao Song offered a suggestion for a newly opened five-star luxury hotel. Since the hotel was controlled by the Dadao Group, it was also a property of the Huang family.
Jiang Rong knew about this hotel, but she didn't know that it actually belonged to her brother-in-law. After all, her brother-in-law owned too many businesses, and she didn't know exactly which ones.
Jiang Rong expressed her gratitude: "Then I'll trouble you!"
Gao Song replied with a smile, "Teacher Jiang, you're too kind."
