"Song Qingzhou, what's there to compare? If you have time, you should go appease your child!"
Before Ling Feng could get angry, Tang Ru couldn't help but speak. Her words to Song Qingzhou this time were anything but polite.
What a joke!
Tang Ru was quite the firecracker back in the day.
It was just that over the years, her temper had calmed down considerably. Moreover, in such an occasion, she really didn't want to get into an argument with anyone!
After all, she was a mother now, and she wanted to present herself as mature and elegant. She also didn't want to leave a bad impression on her daughter.
However, it was clear that some people really needed to be taught a lesson.
Many people around were stunned.
They clearly hadn't expected Tang Ru to have such a side to her!
Song Qingzhou's eyes, however, lit up even more. This guy, perhaps he had a masochistic tendency.
The more Tang Ru scolded him, the more excited he became!
"Heh heh, this isn't about comparison, it's about seeing your family's sincerity. We were all invited today, and we all value the relationship between children. Isn't it only natural to prepare a decent gift to express our feelings?"
Song Qingzhou raised his hand and lifted his son, looking at Tang Ru with a half-smile.
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.
Since everyone had come, they had naturally brought birthday gifts.
Originally, such things were fine to compare in secret.
But now that Song Qingzhou had brought it out into the open, it wasn't just Ling Feng and Tang Ru's family who felt uncomfortable!
Of course, those who enjoyed comparison felt differently upon seeing the situation!
"Heh heh, Mr. Song's words are not without merit. It is indeed important to express some sincerity!"
As expected, some people began to chime in.
However, Li Fangqiang, the host, immediately sensed the tension between the two parties.
He quickly stepped forward, standing between them, and said to Song Qingzhou with a smile, "Heh heh, Mr. Song, your presence is the greatest sincerity. Children don't need gifts. Please, everyone, come inside quickly. We can talk about anything inside!"
As he spoke, Li Fangqiang placed his hand on Song Qingzhou's left elbow, clearly intending to lead Song Qingzhou into the house.
As long as they were inside the villa, things would be easier to handle.
At least, it wouldn't become too unsightly in public. If the neighbors came out to watch the commotion, Li Fangqiang would lose face in the neighborhood!
At this point, most people would give the host some face.
However, this Song Qingzhou was clearly not an ordinary person. He directly pushed Li Fangqiang's hand away.
The action was quite impolite!
"Hey, Fangqiang, it's not like you're saying. As your superior, I have a responsibility to clarify some things for you. When making friends, sincerity is paramount. If some people are just crashing the party, and this gets out, it won't just be you who loses face, but I, as the boss, will also be disgraced, and it will affect our company!"
After Song Qingzhou's words fell.
The expressions of many people around changed significantly.
Everyone even gathered together, whispering amongst themselves.
"How detestable! I only heard before that Li Xuehan's father partnered with this Song Qingzhou to start a company, and was then kicked out. I didn't expect him to become Song Qingzhou's subordinate now! This is clearly showing no respect for Li Fangqiang!"
Tang Ru was also extremely annoyed at this moment. This Song Qingzhou was truly despicable!
Indeed, Li Fangqiang's expression also turned extremely unpleasant. In such a setting, if Song Qingzhou had any sense, he would definitely give him some face.
But now, it seemed he completely disregarded Li Fangqiang!
This made Li Fangqiang very angry!
However, Li Fangqiang thought about his current situation in the company and forcibly suppressed his anger.
On this occasion, he couldn't just prioritize his own feelings, otherwise, he would be no different from someone like Song Qingzhou.
He still needed to take care of the guests present!
With this thought, Li Fangqiang took a deep breath and turned to look at Tang Ru.
"Heh heh, Niannian's mother, I'm really sorry, um, let's go inside the house and chat! Come, Hanhan, take Niannian inside to play!"
After politely greeting Tang Ru, Li Fangqiang began to greet his daughter.
The two children naturally ran towards the house.
But after taking just two steps, they were stopped by Song Qingzhou.
"Hey, Hanhan, don't you want to see the gift Niannian has for you? We want to see it too!"
"Can't we see it after we get home?"
Tang Ru was furious and couldn't help but raise her voice.
The scene immediately became full of tension!
But as soon as Tang Ru finished speaking, Ling Feng reached out and stopped her.
"There's no need to get worked up with this kind of person. Hello, Hanhan, I'm Niannian's father. I'll give you the gift now!"
Ling Feng's concession won him a lot of favor.
At this moment, Song Qingzhou was clearly deliberately making things difficult, and most importantly, the person losing the most face right now was Li Fangqiang.
Ling Feng's concession and willingness to present the gift here was essentially considering Li Fangqiang.
Therefore, Li Fangqiang's gaze towards Ling Feng immediately became more enthusiastic!
"Heh heh, Mr. Ling, hello. I've heard Niannian's mother mention you many times. It's our first meeting, and Mr. Ling truly has an extraordinary demeanor!"
Li Fangqiang took the initiative to greet Ling Feng.
Ling Feng also extended his hand, "You're too kind, just call me by my name! My name is Ling Feng."
But before their hands could clasp, Song Qingzhou on the side jumped out again.
And he even suppressed Li Fangqiang's hand, "Li Fangqiang, what do you mean by this? You're saying I have a petty temperament by saying he has an extraordinary demeanor? I'm doing this for your own good. If these miscellaneous people take out things that are not presentable, it will be you who loses face!"
Li Fangqiang frowned. This Song Qingzhou was truly going too far!
"Mr. Song, there's no need for this, is there? It's just a child's birthday!"
Li Fangqiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
But Song Qingzhou didn't give Li Fangqiang any face. "Heh heh, it seems our philosophies have always been different. I felt there was a problem when I first suggested we partner up. Now that you've withdrawn from company management, you still can't put yourself in the right position. It seems the position of company director is also not suitable for you!"
Li Fangqiang's face immediately turned pale.
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but twitch their lips.
The children, however, were playing and fighting, completely oblivious to the situation.
Tang Ru clenched her fists. Initially, she had held Ling Feng back, but now Ling Feng was holding her back.
This was because Tang Ru could no longer resist the urge to go and beat someone up!
"Is your company very impressive?"
Ling Feng asked indifferently, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
Song Qingzhou sneered, "Heh heh, it's not particularly impressive, just a market value of over a billion!"
As Song Qingzhou's words fell.
Ling Feng took out a car key and pressed it casually.
From a nearby corner, the sound of a car engine starting could be heard.
Immediately after, a luxury car worth nearly fifty million dollars drove towards them on its own!
The speed was not fast, as if it were showcasing itself to everyone.
Instantly, everyone's eyes widened in shock and disbelief!
