Chapter 84 Officially Moved into the East Wing

As it got dark, the invited relatives and friends came to the east wing of the front yard one after another.

The Yan family lived next door to him, and they came early to help. Liu Zhiye prepared four sumptuous banquets today, one of which was placed at the Yan family.

The Yan family is the closest to the Liu family in this compound. Yan Jiecheng is as shrewd as his father, but he is not as stingy and calculating as Yan Bugui.

Thanks to Liu Zhiye's connections in the neighborhood office, Yan Jiecheng was successfully converted to a regular employee. He now considers himself Liu Zhiye's boss and wants to be ahead of Sha Zhu in everything.

Yan Jiecheng was particularly active at today's party, busy running errands and greeting guests.

At this moment, a large group of people came rushing towards us from outside the hanging flower gate. It turned out that Xiao Zhou brought several colleagues from the security department. Their arrival made the front yard, which had been somewhat quiet, lively again.

Yan Jieli quickly and warmly invited them in, led them into the house, and asked them to sit down on the comfortable sofa.

"Chief! We and Sister Gan Ning are sorry to trouble you." Seeing Liu Zhiye and Gan Ning, Xiao Zhou and the others greeted them with a smile. Their arrival filled Liu Zhiye's living room with laughter.

They did not come empty-handed, but brought with them carefully selected cigarettes, alcohol, tea, snacks and other items, which formed a small mountain in the living room.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng came in again and said, "Sister Gan Ning! Your colleagues are here too." Hearing this, Liu Zhiye and Gan Ning immediately got up and went out to greet Gan Ning's colleagues and friends.

"Sister Gan Ning! Congratulations! Director Liu is really in high spirits today!" A smiling, pretty, lovely and friendly little girl was the first to greet them.

Looking at her, Yan Jiecheng felt warm in his heart. His eyes were a little blurry, and his gaze was involuntarily focused on her, unable to move away for a long time.

At this moment, the little girl glared at him impatiently, as if she was a little annoyed by his loss of composure. However, this only made her look more innocent and lovely, and her charm was irresistible.

Other colleagues also expressed their blessings and concerns for them, making the whole scene even more warm and harmonious.

As guests continued to arrive, the front yard was filled with laughter and the aroma of food filled the air.

In the middle courtyard, the Yi family.

No one came to invite him, and Yi Zhonghai sat on the kang with a gloomy face and a dull gaze at the delicious food that the old lady had carefully prepared, at a loss what to do.

The aroma of food lingered in the air, but it failed to arouse his appetite.

The aunt looked at the scene, sighed helplessly, and handed him the bowl and chopsticks that had been prepared long ago. Yi Zhonghai took the bowl and chopsticks, but did not eat for a long time, and the food had already gone cold.

"Old Yi, eat quickly! It's getting cold." The lady said softly, her voice full of concern and helplessness.

Yi Zhonghai nodded silently, picked up the chopsticks, but found that he had no appetite.

He ate his meal in silence, his heart filled with resentment and anxiety. In the past, when someone in the compound moved to a new house, someone would be the first to invite him to a banquet. Now why is the Liu family still not making any moves? If this continues, he will be like a transparent person in this compound, with no status at all.

The atmosphere in the whole room became depressing. Yi Zhonghai ate his meal in silence, his heart full of doubt and uneasiness.

Jia family.

Jia Dongxu's face turned pale and he slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table. Jealousy, resentment and helplessness surged into his heart like a flood, and he could only vent his anger on his innocent family members.

He looked at the plain food in front of him, feeling helpless.

"What is this? I eat vegetables every day, can I have some meat?" he complained, his voice full of helplessness and anger.

At this time, Banggeng came running over, staring at the steamed buns with vegetables on the table, tapping the bowl with his chopsticks. "Mom! I want to eat meat, too." His childish voice was full of anticipation and desire.

When Qin Huairu heard this, she was so angry that she slapped Banggeng on the butt, her eyes full of helplessness and disappointment.

The atmosphere in the whole family became tense in an instant. Jia Dongxu's anger, Banggeng's expectations, Qin Huairu's disappointment, all of these were intertwined together to form a sad picture.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong was humming a little tune as he came out of his house. With his hands behind his back, he passed by Yi Zhonghai's house with a hint of disdain on his lips, as if he was saying to the people inside: "Old Yi! Old Yi! Do you know how powerful you are now?" He was also going to attend the dinner party hosted by Liu Zhiye's family. This was Liu's father's idea, and Liu Zhiye didn't intend to invite him. If Liu Haizhong knew the truth, he would probably be shocked.

Xu family.

Father and son Xu Fugui and Xu Damao were also excitedly preparing to go to the front yard to attend the banquet.

Xu Fugui searched through boxes and cabinets and finally found two jars of aged wine. The wine was quite old, older than Xu Damao. He had been reluctant to drink it and planned to give it out as a gift when he needed help.

Today, Liu Zhiye happened to be inviting everyone to dinner, so Xu Fugui gritted his teeth and decided to take out the wine he had treasured for a long time.

Seeing this, Xu Damao couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked, "Dad! You're willing to give out this wine even though you don't want to drink it?" There was some confusion and doubt in his tone.

Xu Fugui glared at him, his face full of disappointment, and said, "What do you know? You only care about those trivial interests. You are really not making any progress."

"Giving gifts is a science! So many people are scrambling to give gifts, how can you expect them to be grateful to you alone? This is an art, you have to figure it out."

……

The dishes were served. Yan Jiefang, the young man who helped Sha Zhu, came in with a plate of delicious chicken stewed with mushrooms.
"Here it comes! Chicken stewed with mushrooms, this is Brother Zhuzi's specialty!" he shouted excitedly.

Liu Zhiye stood up, picked up his wine glass, and motioned to everyone: "Please be quiet for a moment, I have a few words to say."

He looked around at his relatives and friends who were sitting around him. They all took time out of their busy schedules to attend this dinner.

He was filled with gratitude, so he said: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to our gathering. I feel extremely honored and grateful. I hope everyone can enjoy their meal and have fun here."

After hearing this, everyone gave a warm round of applause and responded, "Congratulations, Chief Liu! You are so happy today, so you can have a few more drinks."

Liu Zhiye smiled and said to them, "I have specially prepared a lot of good wine today. Just drink to your heart's content. Let's not go home until we are drunk. Let's drink together." Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo immediately stood up and called this group of colleagues and friends who he worked with day and night to raise their glasses and drink with Liu Zhiye.

"Chief! Sister Gan Ning! On behalf of all the comrades in our security department, I would like to congratulate you on your new home and new look. May you be filled with joy and have long-lasting good fortune. On this joyous day of moving into a new home, let us cheer for your happy life together."

When Zhou Weiguo's blessing sounded, people applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became warm.

With a smile on his face, Liu Zhiye, surrounded by everyone, raised his glass generously and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, everyone toasted and drank enthusiastically. The fine wine in the cup moistened everyone's heart like sweet spring water, and everyone's face was filled with joy and satisfied smiles. This was not just a simple gathering, but also an exchange of hearts and a collision of emotions, which made people feel warm and happy.

"Chief! I toast to you!"

"Sister Gan Ning! Let's drink together!"

"Zhu Zi! Thank you for your hard work. Let's have a drink together."

The atmosphere of such a gathering is warm and cheerful, and everyone celebrates this special day together.

……

It was late at night, the stars were sparse, and the last group of guests had left. Liu Zhiye and Gan Ning seemed to have used up all their strength and were almost exhausted.

The moonlight shines through the window and onto their bodies, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the night. Liu Zhiye and Gan Ning smile at each other, as if all their fatigue has disappeared in this warm atmosphere.

It was late at night, and Gan Ning did not choose to go home alone. Instead, she decided to stay and spend this special night with her sister Liu Zhiruo in the new house.

Liu Zhiye could only be pushed out of the door by the two of them with a lonely feeling. He had no choice but to return to his east courtyard to sleep.
