Chapter 538 Ticket
The news that the eldest son of the Bai family was coming to Haiqi could not be hidden. In addition, Bai Ou did not deliberately conceal his itinerary, so the matter quickly spread throughout the circle in Haiqi City like the wind.
This made the wealthy family, who had suffered a setback because of Bai Yuan and had only one daughter, become interested again.
Marriage! Marriage! Marriage again!
Anyway, that's all the rich families do every day: gossip, socialize, talk business, or worry about their children's future marriages.
As I said, there are only a limited number of handsome men and beautiful women, so pick the good ones as soon as possible!
Otherwise you can only follow behind others and pick up what they have left.
No matter whether the eldest son of the Bai family is married or not, it does not mean that he cannot get divorced if he is married. Everything else is empty talk. The chances of getting into the Beijing circle by relying on the Bai family are limited. Grabbing the benefits is the real benefit.
Some people couldn't wait and sent in their invitations early, preparing to visit with their daughters.
The result was naturally that they were all pushed back.
Bai Ou hasn't seen his little sister for several years, and he's still not tired of her. These days he's been following her around everywhere, so he doesn't have any extra time for others.
The smart people were very tactful and kept their course, calculating the time for Miss Bai's coming-of-age ceremony while carefully preparing to dress up for the banquet that day.
After all, this is the highlight. It is impossible for the eldest son of the Bai family not to attend his sister's coming-of-age ceremony, right?
When the time comes, you can meet us however you want.
You should take advantage of this period of time to find out what the eldest son of the Bai family likes so that you can cater to his tastes.
Every household mobilized their connections, even if they were not trying to arrange a marriage for their daughters, they had to try their best to make friends with Mr. Bai.
It is the most difficult to inquire about people who come from the large courtyards in Beijing, not to mention that Bai Ou grew up in the army, so the confidentiality work is even stricter and airtight.
In fact, the only information that could be obtained was during the period after Bai Ou came to Haiqi.
After going through thirteen moves, hard work pays off.
Finally, this group of people found out two things.
The first thing is the beloved car of the eldest son of the Bai family.
This piece of information is worthless.
With the Bai family's background, there is no luxury car that they can't get.
Although Haiqi City is full of luxury cars, these are mass-produced goods that can be bought by anyone with money. It's not like Mr. Bai doesn't have the money to buy them. Maybe people have a lot of them in their garage, but they're too lazy to drive them.
As for those limited edition luxury cars that are not easy to get.
Let's just put it that way.
As long as they could get it, the Bai family would find it easy to get it.
What they couldn't get, the Bai family could get just as easily.
It is possible that they cannot get the goods and they were robbed by the Bai family.
Instead of showing off their skills in front of Mr. Bai, they should take advantage of Mr. Bai's influence and try out his world-class customized luxury cars to broaden their horizons and open their eyes!
The second thing is that Mr. Bai likes to talk.
The wealthy families: ???
What kind of niche hobby is this?
Time flies and it is already mid-October.
On the day of Bai Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony, the house was crowded with guests and friends.
After Young Master Pei’s coming-of-age ceremony, Haiqi City finally welcomed another grand feast.
Although everyone was looking forward to the legendary eldest son of the Bai family, they did not put the cart before the horse and forget today's protagonist.
All the gifts that needed to be prepared for Bai Yuan were prepared, and not a single word that needed to be said was missed.
After everything is done, I can spare some time to spend with Bai Ou, who has always been with my sister.
Bai Ou's looks were impeccable, he was handsome and well-mannered, and like Bai Yuan, he was the focus of everyone's attention wherever he went. Many young girls who had originally resisted the marriage blushed and their hearts beat fast, and even those who had just gotten married began to have doubts.
When you're in a relationship, what you're after is the face!
Fortunately, this was a formal occasion, and no matter whether it was real or not, everyone remained decent and serious, and did not let themselves go and do anything weird.
Otherwise, if you meet someone who is a pervert, it is possible that he will send a couple's meal here.
It’s just that Bai Ou’s identity as an active military officer is a bit difficult to deal with.
The state has a protective policy for military marriages, which explicitly prohibits all forms of divorce, infidelity, extramarital affairs, and other acts that violate the Marriage Law and public morality.
Normal marriage arrangements do not apply to Bai Ou.
In other words, once you marry someone like Bai Ou who has military status, you will not be able to have a marriage of convenience after remarriage.
If you don't handle it well, you will be taken to court and sentenced.
What's worse is that being a soldier means you may be sent away from home on missions at any time, and you cannot bring your partner with you to many places.
Although Bai Ou is good-looking and a sunny and handsome guy, if you can only look at him but not eat him, he is no different from a decoration.
Who would like to be alone in an empty room and endure loneliness at such a young age?
However, even so, for the sake of the Bai family's power, there are still countless people willing to endure this "hardship" and get close to him.
People kept taking the opportunity to congratulate Bai Yuan and chat with Bai Ou.
Two sentences, three sentences, four sentences, five sentences, six sentences...???
Soon, someone discovered that Bai Ou's focus was too dazzling and it hurt people's eyes! Oh my god, why is it starting to burn people! ! !
After being "entangled" by Bai Ou and having to listen to him chattering non-stop, and finally finding an opportunity to extricate themselves with their heads buzzing, everyone realized the value of the two words "like to talk" in the second piece of information.
This... is indeed nothing wrong with it.
Thanks to Bo Ou, they were able to fully experience the novelty of being chased and bitten by "words".
He's such a chatterbox, it's scary!
Being able to talk to people about lack of oxygen is already a niche thing.
Have you ever seen someone who hears it feel like he is suffocating? ! !
Under such circumstances, even if one wanted to show off in front of Bai Ou, one had to see if his ears could bear it.
Soon many people gave up and rubbed their ears, feeling dizzy, and went to find a quiet place outside the banquet hall to relax and unwind.
I’m sorry! Mom and Dad! I’m sorry! Our family! I just can’t take it anymore!!!
The young generation are naturally impetuous and only a few of them can keep their composure. After being defeated one after another, they dare not come closer for a short period of time.
Seeing that the younger generation in the family is of no use, it is time for the elders to take action.
Those present were all veterans, unlike the younger ones who were naive and childish. Every word they said was full of hidden meanings and twists and turns, and likewise, they were very purposeful.
These people have different thoughts and are a mixed bunch.
In addition to those who want to use connections to rise to the top, there are also many who have ulterior motives and do things that are not decent enough.
There are so many things that can be done about this pair of things.
Soon, voices began to be heard in a chatty and joking tone, either explicitly or implicitly asking or reminding Mr. Bai about his views on the Bai family's business, and... whether he was unwilling to give in.
"Mr. Bai and Miss Bai have a deep brother-sister relationship."
Bai Ou usually likes to hear others praise his good relationship with his younger sister. Hearing this, he felt even happier and looked at the man who came forward with a glass of wine and took the initiative to talk to him.
The other person was estimated to be around 27 or 28 years old, with a calm and confident look in his eyes, and his every move exuding the dignity of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, as well as a sense of pride that made him unwilling to be inferior to others.
At first glance, he is a promising young man who inherited the family business early and has been in the world of fame and fortune for many years. He is one of the best of this generation and has a certain say in the circle.
Except for those families whose children are still young and need to be brought to the banquet by their young parents, most of those present are family heirs and the new generation of people in power like him.
Although they are more than a generation older than Bai Yuan, some of them have already started a family and even their children are in kindergarten, they are indeed of the same generation as Bai Yuan and Bai Ou.
Bai Ou cannot drink much, and this obvious weakness cannot be made known to others, lest it be used to make trouble.
In order to avoid being discovered, they would use mixed grape juice to cover up their identity at such social occasions. In terms of color and smell, it is no different from expensive red wine.
Having just been praised for his good relationship with his younger sister, Bai Ou was in high spirits and was about to raise his glass to clink drinks with the other party.
But I heard the man in front of me say:
"I can see that as the eldest brother, you really love this sister. What I saw today really opened my eyes and made me feel ashamed."
Bai Ou likes to hear others say that he has a good relationship with his younger sister, but that doesn't stop him from hearing hidden meanings in other people's words.
Hearing this, he put down his half-raised glass, maintained a smile on his face, and only raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be confused but very interested, and asked:
"How do you say this?"
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Mr. Bai. My sister and I have been fighting since we were young. We've often quarreled over trivial matters. We don't even know how to write the word "humility". Even if there is a piece of cake on the table, we will fight over it. It's not that we are short of food..." The man slowly swirled the wine in the glass, his eyes darkening, "It's mainly because the elders in my family always teach us to respect the order of seniority. I'm unwilling to be overtaken and fall behind, and give up what originally belonged to me."
When selecting heirs, wealthy families pay attention to the order of seniority. The first child born in the offspring is often the focus of cultivation, the second child is the substitute for the eldest, and after that are rich young men and women. Unless there is a major change in the family, it is not their turn to interfere in the family business.
Whether it's a boy or a girl isn't that important.
In other words, the eldest brother or sister's inheritance rights must come before his or her younger brothers and sisters.
Apart from the wealthy families in Yungang who have strict requirements on gender, only the middle class, the second-rate wealthy families and the new rich would deliberately advocate "passing on the inheritance to sons but not to daughters".
Or to put it another way.
The real wealthy families only value personal value. Whoever can bring more benefits to the family will have absolute say. On this basis, they emphasize "longevity" as the final selection criterion.
Whoever crawls out of the womb first will have priority in enjoying more resources and preferential treatment.
That is, only families that apply this set of standards can become today's top wealthy families.
Because of your gender, you can only get a middle level at best, and you can't get any higher.
It is part of the law of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle.
The wealthy and serious families are even proud of it, which has led to a chain of discrimination between classes, and they regard gender equality as a symbol of "civilization" in the new era.
Therefore, the person in front of him would deliberately emphasize "respect for seniority" in front of Bai Ou.
Bai Ou is the eldest son of the Bai family, and Bai Yuan is the second son of the Bai family. Logically, Bai Ou's inheritance rights should be ahead of Bai Yuan.
Not to mention that Bai Ou and Bai Yuan are just cousins, not biological siblings from the same mother.
If we trace back one generation further, Bai Ou's father was the second son in the Bai family, and Bai Yuan's father was the third son, in the top substitute position, and his inheritance rights were also second.
It is neither moral nor logical for Bai Yuan to bypass Bai Ou and interfere in the Bai Group.
This statement seems to be a compliment, but in fact it is a reminder to Bai Ou whether he really wants to give up such a big piece of the Bai family pie to his cousin.
They believed that they did not have the magnanimity and generosity of Bai Ou. If their younger brothers and sisters dared to stretch their claws over and seize power without the eldest son, they would definitely fight to the death.
How can it be said that Bai Ou is not "favoring" Bai Yuan when he is so willing to give in to his cousin without fighting or competing?
The words were spoken loudly, immediately creating a strong sense of tension.
For them, Bai Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony was the signal to start the business war.
This group of people didn't care about the importance of the eighteenth birthday. In their eyes, they only saw the changes in the successor of the Bai family and the upcoming reshuffle of the situation in Haiqi.
What they cared about was not whether Bai Yuan could have a comfortable time at the coming-of-age ceremony or whether he could leave behind precious and unforgettable memories.
They only care about the cake in front of them and whether they can disrupt the situation and get a piece of it.
The coming-of-age ceremony at the age of eighteen is the entry ticket to business war.
From the moment Bai Yuan turned eighteen and was declared an adult in the legal sense, he had become the biggest threat to their profit pie.
And Bai Ou was also a chess piece they used to test the waters.
If he could use this to plant the seeds of doubt in Bai Ou's heart, he could instigate him and Bai Yuan to become enemies, causing them to fight for the position of the leader of the Bai Group, and the internal strife would never stop.
They will be able to take advantage of the situation and gain a share of the Bai family's cake that everyone has been coveting for a long time.
Obviously, there were more people who had this idea in front of Bai Ou.
Seeing Bai Ou showing an attitude of listening and thinking with interest, as if he was seriously thinking about what the person in front of him said, he slowly gathered together and continued to fan the flames:
"I only knew that Miss Bai was brilliant, independent, and outstanding. She was a leader among the best of this generation. Today, after meeting Master Bai, I finally understood that Miss Bai took after her elder brother..."
"In my opinion, Miss Bai is as beautiful as the bright moon, and you, Mr. Bai, are as bright as the blazing sun. They seem to have their own merits, but in fact..."
"Mr. Bai, we have seen all your plans for Miss Bai, but we don't know how much Miss Bai cares about your good intentions..."
"If I had a brother like you who paved the way for me and supported me calmly, I would definitely feel grateful, but also... uneasy."
"Mr. Bai..."
"Mr. Bai..."
"Mr. Bai..."
These calls of "Mr. Bai" sounded like a drug, no matter if they were true or not. Anyway, after listening to them for a long time, even Bai Ou began to think that he had really made great contributions and sacrifices for his little sister as they said.
