At night, an hour before Han Linger's birthday banquet, Zhao Zheng drove a sports car from the villa to the Han residence.
Han Linger's birthday party was actually divided into two venues. One was held at the highest star hotel in Tianhai City, and the other was held at the Han family's old residence.
Those attending the birthday banquet were all ordinary dignitaries of Tianhai City. Simply put, they were not of high enough rank to participate in the real birthday banquet.
The birthday party held by the Han family's old mansion, those who could enter, without exception, were the true upper class of Tianhai City. The worst ones were those with net assets of more than three billion.
About 40 minutes later, Zhao Zheng arrived outside the Han family's old residence. After finding a spot to stop, Zhao Zheng walked towards the entrance of the Han family's old residence.
There were people in charge of welcoming guests at the entrance of the Han family's old residence. Everyone who entered the Han family's old residence had to take out an invitation card.
These invitations were of different colors. Some were white, some were black.
The colors of the invitation cards represented different levels. Those with white invitation cards had the lowest status, followed by black. Above black was gold, the kind that only the real top families in Tian Hai City could receive.
Zhao Zheng's was a golden invitation.
Logically speaking, Zhao Zheng was only a junior and would not receive a golden invitation. However, one of Zhao Zheng's parents went to another province to discuss business, and the other went back to the Yang family to visit relatives. Only Zhao Zheng was in Tianhai City. Zhao Zheng represented the Zhao family and the Yang family, so how could the Han family not give him the highest level of invitation?
…………
"Young Master Zhao, you're here.”When Zhao Zheng walked to the door, the person at the door recognized him before he could take out his invitation letter.
It couldn't be helped. The reputation of the Four Great Young Masters of Tianhai City was too resounding. As long as one had entered the circle of dignitaries, there was no one who didn't know about it. The guards of the Han family were also members of the Han family. They were all born in dignitaries. How could they not recognize Zhao Zheng, the leader of the Four Great Young Masters of Tianhai City?
"Yes." Zhao Zheng nodded at the Han family members at the door, then casually handed over the golden invitation letter and walked into the Han family's old residence.
"Young Master Zhao, this way please."
After Zhao Zheng walked into the Han family's old residence, a good-looking maidservant led Zhao Zheng to the place where the banquet would begin.
That's right, because the Ming Dynasty did not perish, the big families had the habit of raising maidservants. The bigger the family, the more maidservants they had.
Zhao Zheng's mother had tens of thousands of Yang Family maids and servants.
Of course, it was impossible for the Han Family to have so many. It would be good if the Han Family had more than a thousand maids and servants.
…………
Following the maidservant, Zhao Zheng arrived at a very large building.
This building was the place where the birthday banquet was held. In the past, it should have been the place where the Han family held the Ancestral Hall Meeting. It was more than enough to accommodate one to two thousand people.
The building was brightly lit at this moment, and people came and went. It was very lively.
"Young Master Zhao, do you need me to stay and serve you?”The maidservant brought Zhao Zheng into the building where the birthday banquet was held and asked Zhao Zheng respectfully.
"There's no need. You can leave." Zhao Zheng said indifferently.
"Yes." The maidservant bowed respectfully when she heard Zhao Zheng's words and then left.
……………………
"Young Master Zhao, why are you so late?”Just as Zhao Zheng was about to look around to see if he knew anyone, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
He turned around and saw a young man in his twenties walking towards Zhao Zheng.
The man was none other than Lu Zihao, who had spoken to Zhao Zheng earlier.
"The main person hasn't arrived yet, and the banquet hasn't officially started yet. Why are you here so early?”Zhao Zheng said with a smile as he saw Lu Zihao walking over.
"That's true." Lu Zihao nodded when he heard Zhao Zheng's words.
"Young Master Lu, what kind of gift did you prepare for the little princess of the Han family? I'm done. Now, I can only rely on you to get back at her.”Lu Zihao suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Zheng.
"Get back at him? What's going on?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile.
" It's all because of Tang Xuan and Li Yu's gifts. No, Li Yu's gift doesn't count. His gift is about the same as mine. The main thing is that Tang Xuan got a face-sized imperial jade from somewhere. He even found a master sculptor to carve the jade into the appearance of the little princess of the Han family. I saw the photos he showed off. The jade was natural, and with the imperial jade, it was simply the best in the world.”
"Why am I not so lucky to encounter such a large piece of imperial jade? If I had, I could have bought it and carved it into a jade man.”Lu Zihao said angrily.
"Tang Xuan? Li Yu?" Hearing the two names from Lu Zihao's mouth, the introduction of these two people immediately appeared in Zhao Zheng's mind.
Tang Xuan and Li Yu were the other two of the four young masters of Tianhai City. Unlike Lu Zihao, Tang Xuan and Li Yu had always been at odds with Zhao Zheng.
The main person he didn't want to deal with was Tang Xuan. At most, Li Yu was like Lu Zihao, helping Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan had always been dissatisfied with Zhao Zheng's ranking as the top of the four young masters. The reason was simple. Tang Xuan felt that his background was not inferior to Zhao Zheng's.
In fact, he was not inferior to Zhao Zheng. The Tang family that Tang Xuan belonged to was a branch of the Tang family.
The Tang Sect was definitely a colossus in the Great Ming Dynasty. It was not inferior to the Yang family in the slightest, and might even surpass it.
Because the Tang clan was most famous for their hidden weapons. There were many peak grandmasters who had died to the Tang clan's hidden weapons. Even ordinary great grandmasters feared the Tang clan's top-notch hidden weapons.
In terms of aristocratic family ranking, the Tang Sect had at least the strength of the top fifteen, while the Yang Family's strength was only between the seventeenth and eighteenth.
However, the Tang Sect was powerful, but it did not mean that the Tang Family in Tianhai City was equally powerful.
Tianhai City's Tang family had only inherited some of the Tang Sect's mid-to-low-level hidden weapons. The strongest was only at the early stage of the grandmaster realm, which could threaten weak points. Moreover, there were too many sub-clans in the Tang Sect, and Tang Xuan's Tang family was at most one of the top-ranked ones.
In terms of importance, it really couldn't compare to Zhao Zheng's importance to the Yang family.
In terms of bloodline, Zhao Zheng was the true direct descendant of the Yang Clan. In the future world, the Yang Clan was willing to risk everything for Zhao Zheng and Ye Chen. The fact that the entire clan was almost wiped out showed how important Zhao Zheng was to the Yang Clan.
Therefore, Tang Xuan's ranking in Tianhai City was lower than Zhao Zheng's.
However, Tang Xuan had another hidden identity. His father was the illegitimate son of the Tang Sect's Sect Master. In the future, he had inherited the Tang Sect and became the Sect Master.
From this point of view, Tang Xuan's true identity was actually higher than Zhao Zheng's. After all, he was the Tang Sect's heir in the future.
However, the outside world did not know this, so no matter how hard Tang Xuan competed, he was still lower than Zhao Zheng.
