Gao Yan responded to Tang Ye and started chatting with Cheng Hao.
Since Cheng Hao still had to receive guests, the two of them didn't talk much.
He was not familiar with Tang Yubin, so he gave Cheng Hao the gift box containing the jade bracelet and asked him to hand it over.
Tonight's birthday dinner is in buffet style.
Now, most of the guests have arrived. Cheng Chunhui and Tang Yubin, both holding red wine glasses in their hands, stood with a group of people and talked loudly.
Gao Yan's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. He took a glass of juice from the table, selected some snacks and went to a corner of the banquet hall to eat quietly.
About ten minutes passed.
After finishing the snacks, Gao Yan looked around the entire banquet hall curiously.
The guests in the hall were all chatting together in twos and threes.
Cheng Chunhui and Tang Yubin’s couple had the most people.
It can be seen that the couple is very proud now, with high spirits on their faces.
Moreover, Tang Yubin likes to use gestures to accentuate his tone when speaking.
"I have to say, Brother's Hot Pot Restaurant is able to reach the scale it is today, thanks to my son."
Suddenly, Tang Yubin changed the subject: "If he hadn't insisted on helping a poor classmate and spent 500,000 to buy the hot pot base recipe in his hand, the Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant would not be what it is today. But my son is also very kind-hearted. The first one
After the hot pot restaurant opened, I gave that poor boy 30% of his stock!"
Hearing this, people around him praised Cheng Hao not only for his vision, but also for his kindness and righteousness, and that good deeds will be rewarded.
Hearing the praise from everyone, the smile on Tang Yubin's face became brighter and he continued: "That boy in my family is indeed affectionate and kind. Later, after he founded the company, he invited the poor classmate to join. Unfortunately, the poor are poor, and they have too much vision.
You are short-sighted and will not accept my son's kindness at all, otherwise, he would also be the majority shareholder of our brother's hot pot restaurant today."
Having said this, Tang Yubin couldn't help but have a hint of sarcasm on his face.
And everyone also cooperated with Tang Yubin in constantly belittling Gao Yan.
Although they were more than ten meters away and the banquet hall was relatively noisy, Gao Yan still heard Tang Yubin's words clearly.
Suddenly, his face became a little ugly!
"This Tang Yubin seems to be quite hostile to me?"
Gao Yan frowned. It seemed that he had not offended her?
"Could it be...?"
Gao Yan thought of a possibility. He had warned Cheng Hao to beware of fraud on Yang Yujiang's side.
After Cheng Hao told his analysis to his parents, they didn't take it to heart. Not only that, they probably hated him.
"What a human heart!"
Thinking of this, Gao Yan smiled bitterly to himself.
Suddenly I felt that there was no point in staying here at all.
So he stood up from his seat and walked out of the banquet hall.
Since Tang Yubin was already dissatisfied with him and resentful, why did he stay and continue to listen to Tang Yubin's ridicule?
If she were not Cheng Hao's mother, Gao Yan would have made her life worse than death based on those words.
"Brother Yan, where are you going?"
Seeing Gao Yan come out, Cheng Hao, who didn't know what was going on, asked with a smile on his face.
"I suddenly encountered something urgent and had to rush to deal with it. I'm sorry, Haozi. Please apologize to your mother for me!"
Gao spoke in a calm and authentic tone.
"Is the matter urgent?" Cheng Hao asked again.
“It’s urgent!”
Gao Yan nodded seriously.
"Then I'll give it to you!" Cheng Hao took a step to catch up: "Hey, really, I want to have a few drinks with you tonight!"
"Okay, go back, you still have to receive guests!"
Just as the elevator arrived at this floor, another guest arrived.
Cheng Hao quickly greeted warmly: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Ma, you are here, please come in quickly!"
Gao Yan waved to Cheng Hao and stepped into the elevator.
After sending the guests into the banquet hall, Cheng Hao returned to the door.
"Xiao Hao, I feel something is wrong with Gao Yan's sudden departure!" Tang Ye said thoughtfully.
"No way, didn't he leave because of something urgent?"
Cheng Hao frowned slightly: "Could he be blaming me for neglecting him? But that's probably not the case. Brother Yan is not such a stingy person!"
"In this case, I'll go in and inquire!"
Tang Ye entered the banquet hall, then asked two waiters to inquire, and learned that Gao Yan did not receive a call before leaving.
This further deepened her suspicion.
With doubts, she came to the second aunt and second uncle who were surrounded by people. When she heard the words from the second aunt's mouth, Tang Ye's face suddenly changed.
Because her second aunt is still mocking Gao Yan.
"Did Gao Yan choose to leave after hearing what his second aunt said?"
But Gao Yan was clearly far away from the second aunt just now, so he couldn't hear clearly what the second aunt said, right?
Think of this.
She decided to check the surveillance of the banquet hall.
Thanks to Tang Ye's tricks, the hotel quickly agreed to her request for surveillance.
Her main attention was on Gao Yan.
She went back and forth to check the video of Gao Yan before he left several times, and found that after Gao Yan finished eating the snacks and looked at the entire banquet hall, his expression suddenly changed.
Then he frowned again, stood up and left.
"It seems Gao Yan must have heard what the second aunt said!"
Tang Ye sighed lightly.
Knowing that the second aunt had completely offended Gao Yan, she originally wanted to use this dinner to build a relationship with Gao Yan.
After all, the price in the jade market continues to rise.
If Gao Yan can use her relationship with the Qin family to cooperate with the Qin family, it will be of huge benefit to her family's company.
It's a pity that I haven't had time to chat with Gao Yan yet.
They left.
"Do you want to tell the little mouse?"
Tang Ye hesitated and said, to be honest, she also felt that her second aunt seemed a bit supercilious.
If it weren't for Gao Yan's recipe, there would be no Brother Hotpot restaurant today.
Although Cheng Hao spent money to get the formula.
But how can that little money compare with the real value of this hot pot base recipe?
As for saying that Gao Yan doesn’t know the value of the formula, that’s nonsense!
Even if he didn't know it at the beginning, he should have known it after the brother's hotpot restaurant became a fire, right?
But Cheng Hao once again invited Gao Yan to become a shareholder, but he still refused.
At that time, Gao Yan made a lot of money by gambling on stones.
Therefore, he did not want to take advantage of Cheng Hao by not investing in the company, or perhaps he did not value this benefit.
And she also knew that Yang Yujiang had come up with ideas for hot pot base recipes many times, but Gao Yan rejected them all.
suddenly.
Tang Ye felt worried in his heart.
Although they have signed a formula transfer contract with Gao Yan, what if Gao Yan holds a grudge because of what happened today and sells the formula to other hot pot restaurants?
Don't talk about the 100 million compensation.
For such a valuable formula, even if there is a liquidated damages of 100 million, they will still rush to get it.
Think of this.
She couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly went to Cheng Hao and told Cheng Hao her conjecture.
After listening.
Cheng Hao was very angry.
He was about to rush into the banquet hall immediately, but was stopped by Tang Ye: "Calm down, there are so many people in the banquet hall now, are you going to make trouble with your mother now?"
Cheng Hao took a deep breath to calm down.
"Don't worry, I won't make trouble with her, I just went to her for confirmation!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
Tang Ye reminded again.
Entering the banquet hall, Cheng Hao saw his mother holding a wine glass and toasting. He walked up quickly: "Mom, come with me, I have something to tell you!"
"What can't you say back home?"
"Very important words!"
"Oh well!"
The mother and son came to a corner of the banquet hall, and Cheng Hao stared at his mother and said, "Mom, have you ever mocked Brother Yan in front of everyone?"
"It seems so, I was just talking casually!"
Tang Yubin said casually.
"Mom, how could you do this!"
Cheng Hao asked angrily. Now, he was sure that his cousin's analysis was true. Brother Yan probably left in anger after hearing his mother's ridicule.
