Chapter 692: Hotel Opening

Chapter 692: Hotel Opening

Ye Rufeng always felt that Xie Zheng's current nonchalant stance on not getting married would likely lead to future regret, but as an outsider, he couldn't really offer any advice. After all, his grandparents supported his decision, so what could anyone else say?

These young people nowadays are so selfish. They only care about themselves and don't care about the feelings of their elderly relatives. Ye Rufeng also knows that Xie Zheng was raised by his grandparents and is the only son in the family.

Ye Rufeng was unaware of Xie Zheng's romantic history, only assuming that he had stopped getting married after becoming a star, as if he was afraid that his fans wouldn't like him. Ye Rufeng couldn't understand why becoming a star required such a high price.

As the two were chatting, Old Master Lu's voice came from the doorway. Upon hearing that Ye Rufeng had returned to Nancheng, Old Master Lu couldn't wait and strode in with his not-so-agile steps.

"Old friend, you're really back?"

When Grandpa Lu finally saw Ye Rufeng, his eyes lit up. He walked over, shook hands with him, and asked with a smile, "I heard Tiandong say at the door that you returned to Nancheng. When did you come back?"

Ye Rufeng replied, "I came back yesterday."

"It's such a rare treat to see you again."

When Grandpa Lu saw Ye Rufeng, he was unusually kind.

To be honest, at their age, every meeting is one less chance to see them.

Especially someone like Ye Rufeng, who is away from home for more than half a year at a time.

They said they wouldn't see each other again, and they really didn't.

Grandpa Lu looked at him and explained, "I was also very anxious when your clinic and Xiaozhi opened, and I wanted to go and see it. But my health is really not good, and I can't handle taking the train. I was afraid of causing trouble for the children, so I could only stay at home."

"I understand." Ye Rufeng looked at him with concern and asked, "How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong? I'm back now, let me take a look at you."

Since Ye Rufeng reconciled with his son, he has found everyone agreeable.

He is no longer as aloof and unapproachable as before; he has become much more amiable.

“I’m fine. Xiaozhi left me a prescription when she left, and I got some traditional Chinese medicine for health maintenance. I’ve been drinking it. Anyway, as long as you take good care of yourself, there won’t be any problems with chronic diseases. I’m just worried that if I go out and travel, I might end up in an inappropriate place that will make the children suffer and cause them trouble.”

Ye Rufeng fully understood Old Master Lu's concerns. That's how it is when people get old; they become hesitant and timid in everything they do, afraid of causing trouble for the younger generation.

"How are the two children? Why didn't Xiaozhi come back with you? I often think about them and dream about them coming home."

Ye Rufeng said, "Young people can't be as free as me, going back whenever they want. There's a lot going on in the army, and we're on business trips every few days. Plus, the clinic just opened, and Xiaozhi has to stay there. If everyone leaves, it'll just have to close down."

Upon hearing Ye Rufeng's words, Old Master Lu smiled and said, "That's right. At their age, it's the perfect time for them to build their careers."

At this moment, the waiter refilled their cups with hot tea. Ye Rufeng handed it to Old Master Lu and said, "Come on, let's have some tea and chat."

This was, after all, his son's territory, so Ye Rufeng automatically assumed the role of the host and warmly welcomed Old Master Lu.

As he sipped his tea, Old Master Lu looked up at the luxuriously decorated hotel lobby and exclaimed, "Tian Dong has opened such a luxurious hotel. My old friend, you are a blessed man to have such a successful son."

Ye Rufeng laughed and said, "The way you're talking makes it sound like your son is good-for-nothing."

“Your second son owns such a big coal mining company and makes a lot of money, while mine is just a small-time operation.”

"Look at you, you're being modest. This is hardly a small business. Most people don't have this kind of boldness." As a retired soldier, Old Master Lu has witnessed the development of society and now has a different view of business people.

I'm no longer as resistant as I used to be.

He sighed, "You know what, these young people are really promising. My second son wanted to start a company to make money, and I was 100% against it. I just wanted him to work diligently as a factory worker. I always thought he was just messing around. Later, he wouldn't listen to me and insisted on going into business. Everyone else was married by then, and I couldn't control him, so I just let him be. I never expected him to actually succeed. I admit I used to have a prejudice against speculative businessmen and always wanted my son to follow the rules and go to get off work. But now, looking back, they have the brains, and we parents should support them. Making big money is their skill."

Ye Rufeng agreed with his point of view, saying, "That's right. Being able to make money is a skill. As long as they are making legal, reasonable, and clean money, we should be proud of them."

While the two old men chatted, Xie Zheng, having nothing to do, wandered around the hotel and took a look around.

At eleven o'clock, Ye Tiandong came over and told them that the ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin, and arranged for Ye Rufeng and Grandpa Lu, two elders, to cut the ribbon with him and Cui Hua.

This can be seen as a public admission that Ye Rufeng is his father.

This also gave Cui Hua a formal status.

Ye Rufeng's heart was filled with indescribable emotions at this moment.

I was just so excited.

From the moment he went on stage to cut the ribbon until he stepped off the stage at the end of the ceremony, he was completely dazed.

Especially when Ye Tiandong introduced his identity to everyone present.

He said he was his father.

He is a renowned and miraculous doctor.

His cold, hardened heart felt as if it were about to leap out of his chest.

What merit or ability does he possess...?

Over the years, he has not acted like an elder, nor has he fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

He felt deeply ashamed that his son had built his career from scratch and now he was being asked to stand on the stage.

Many of Ye Tiandong's business associates attended today's opening ceremony.

Previously, no one knew about his family situation because Ye Tiandong had never mentioned his family, and many people once thought he was an orphan.

Of course, he had some acquaintances who knew that he didn't have a good relationship with his father, so Ye Tiandong never went home.

However, very few people know the identity of Ye Tiandong's father.

Unexpectedly, he brought out his father today, the famous Doctor Ye. Everyone was astonished by Ye Tiandong's background.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the performance began. Ye Tiandong specially invited a Taiping drum performance team. In addition to the Taiping drum performance, there was also a lion dance performance, making the scene quite grand and magnificent.

After the performance, everyone was invited to dine in the banquet hall of their hotel.

Everyone was seated, but Ye Tiandong never saw his cousin Ye Jingsong.

Ye Tiandong walked up to Ye Rufeng and asked in a low voice, "Why hasn't my cousin arrived yet? Where did he go?"

"You should entertain the guests first, don't worry about your cousin, we'll talk about him after this is over."

Although Ye Tiandong was puzzled, since his father had said so, it was not convenient for him to ask any further questions in this situation.

The key issue is that he still has many guests to entertain, so he can't attend to anything else.
