Chapter 172
Between Birthday
Due to the curiosity of Song Yongkang, the birthday boy, this scene appeared on the scene. The gray-haired old man was staring at a helpless young man in front of him, who was as helpless as a little lamb. The three old men around him, who were also looking forward to it, sat firmly waiting to watch the show. This made Song Yali and Song Jianjun suffer. In their memory, the "strong" appearance of grandfather is really rare in ten years. The irresistible majesty that comes from his bones makes them, the two grandchildren who are most loved by grandfather can only stand aside and worry. They really can't understand why their grandfather gave the other party such a heavy "gift" as soon as they met for the first time.
However, Li Tian's performance next made the four curious old men feel a little disappointed. Finally, Song Yali and Song Jianjun breathed a little relieved. Facing the powerful power that Song Yongkang exerted on him, Li Tian turned a blind eye to him. Not only did he not have the intention of retreating, he took another step forward.
"Hello Grandpa Song, it's Li Tian. This time I was fortunate to be invited by Miss Song to come to celebrate your birthday in person. It's a blessing for the boy. I wish you good luck and good health!" Li Tian bowed respectfully to the old birthday star Song Yongkang, and presented the prepared gifts with his hands. Everyone present knew that at this moment, Li Tian had overlapped the image of the old man in the Song family in front of him and the grandfather who had been dead for many years in his heart, as if facing the man who had been extremely respectful throughout his life.
Master, so when Song Yongkang puts powerful pressure on him, he looked full of kindness in his eyes. Li Tian has become successful to some extent and has an extremely happy family, but not having the opportunity to fulfill his filial piety for half a day in front of his grandfather was an eternal regret in his heart. Now God seems to have deliberately arranged for him such an opportunity to try his wishes, so he can see clearly the kind of respect and admiration of the old master of the Song family.
"Grandpa, Xiaotian is my friend, you can't bully him!" Seeing Li Tian step forward, Song Yali also quickly spoke.
"Okay! Very good! Very good! It's really an amazing young man." Old Master Song ignored his granddaughter's words and still looked at Li Tian's every move very seriously. Although he didn't know why the young man in front of him looked respectful to him, the sincerity revealed from Li Tian's eyes was of course clear at a glance, which made him feel inexplicably goodwill towards this young man who had won great honor for the Chinese people at a young age.
When the three consecutive words "good" were spoken from Mr. Song's mouth, the two brothers and sisters of the Song family finally fell to the ground. And now it seems that grandfather has a very good impression of Li Tian. You must know that grandfather rarely takes the initiative to praise people.
"Why are the young man so polite? It's great to give me a gift when someone comes, so why do you even bring gifts with me?" Mr. Song knew that all the gifts he received today were valuable. He was the identity of the people attending the banquet. He couldn't take any of the second-class gifts. It is estimated that the birthday gift given by Li Tian must be quite light. For a child who is underage, he obviously doesn't want Li Tian to spend money randomly for him.
"Grandpa Song, you are an elder, and you should be filial to us as juniors. Besides, these gifts only represent my personal wish and are not worth much."
"Grandpa, please accept it! Don't think that Xiaotian is not old, but now he is a veritable quasi-millionaire. This little money is nothing to him." Song Yali said on the side. Li Tian has now become a hot celebrity in the Chinese sports world, so his value has certainly become a sensitive topic and attracted much attention. When Xu Hongtao built momentum for Li Tian in the Sports Weekly through Song Mingyu, the great reporter, he had already provided the other party with Li Tian's approximate value. Therefore, after the World Youth Championship, "Li Tian's advertising value exceeds 10 million!"
The director immediately published it in the Sports Weekly, which caused a huge sensation in the industry. An advertising contract worth more than one million in China is already a sky-high price, which is also a recognition of the identity and status of an athlete. In the past, Yao Ming was the only one who could reach eight digits. Now he is preparing to have another Li Tian. Although there is a certain gap between the report and the reality, it is enough to reflect how exaggerated Li Tian’s current value is. In this regard, Song Yali, who has been paying close attention to Li Tian’s news in the newspaper, certainly understands it very clearly.
"Oh...! Since that's the case, I, the old man, took it off with shamelessness." Song Yongkang stopped refusing and personally took the gift box from Li Tian's hand.
"Oh my god! What kind of gift is there?" The quaint gift box suddenly aroused Song Yali's curiosity.
"I heard that Grandpa Song likes calligraphy very much, so I asked someone to find an inkstone. I hope Grandpa Song can like it!" As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, Mr. Song and the three old men present suddenly lit up. They were all very good calligraphy people, and they were more happy to get a good pen and a good inkstone than other gifts. So under Song Yali's instigation, Mr. Song opened the lid of the gift box with his own hands.
"Xiaotian, I call you that too! I am so dedicated. Grandpa really likes your gift very much." Sure enough, Xu Hongtao's efforts were not in vain. Old Master Song loved this inkstone very much and became much more intimate with Li Tian. The four old men took turns to hold it carefully in their hands and watched it carefully for a lot of time. This kind of thing is hard to come by, and it is not something that can be bought with money. Old Master Song couldn't help but be happy and laughed happily, and his favor towards Li Tian increased a lot.
"Xiaotian, come here! According to the customs of Grandpa Song's hometown, the elders will send red envelopes to their younger generations on their birthday. Since grandpa has already received the gift you gave first, you must accept the red envelope. It is considered a gift from Grandpa Song." Grandpa Song took out a red envelope similar to the ones he had given to Song's siblings before and handed it to Li Tian.
"Xiaotian isn't taking it over quickly, thank you grandpa!" Seeing that Li Tian was appreciated by the highest leader in his family, Song Yali was also very happy and gently pushed Li Tian forward.
"Thank you Grandpa Song!" Li Tian was also a cheerful person. After thanking him, he respectfully took the red envelope from Mr. Song, and this scene suddenly fell into the eyes of the few people who were interested.
