Chapter 53: Beishi, Castle Manor

This business vehicle not only has bodyguards, but it is also bulletproof.

He could not help but knit his brows.

Their Han Family belongs to the very low-profile type of people in Beishi; although their financial power and authority far exceed those of the super-rich, they have never appeared on the rich list because there is no need to, and appearing on it would only easily attract unwanted attention.

Therefore, their family has always acted with a low profile; as long as they do not reveal their identities, not many people pay them any mind.

Precisely because of this, his life can be lived as he pleases. He can go to restaurants that are slightly more down-to-earth to experience the hustle and bustle of human life. When taking a flight, he can sit in first class if he wants, or economy class. As for housing, he can live in a large flat or a large villa, depending on his mood.

Today, this business vehicle is parked brazenly in front of the plane, attracting the attention of many who are guessing what kind of big shot Han Yangting is.

After all, when others get off the plane, they still have to go through the hassle of security checks and baggage claim.

A bodyguard came out to open the car door for Han Yangting and then said respectfully, "Young Master, it was the Madam who asked us to come pick you up."

Han Yangting had no choice but to get in the car.

The car exited the airport smoothly, entered Beishi, and then entered the Beishi Houhai Ancient Forest.

This area is sparsely populated, yet the roadside is lined with extremely expensive ancient trees, along with a tranquil artificial lake; it is clearly the result of artificial planting and development, on which a great sum of money was spent.

After passing through a patch of forest, there is a large manor ahead.

In Beishi, where every inch of land is worth an ounce of gold, being able to own this large manor is simply a fantasy.

However, the Han Family has exactly that kind of strength.

This large manor has a large iron gate; after entering the gate, there are three castle-like buildings lined up in sequence, as well as a golf lawn, a basketball court, a swimming pool, and a large garden—it is simply inhumanly opulent.

It is currently winter, and the red plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom.

Maids and workers are busy back and forth inside the manor; upon seeing Han Yangting's car return, they all respectfully offer him a gaze of reverence.

As soon as Han Yangting got out of the car, a person dressed as a butler came over to salute: "Eldest Young Master!"

This is Butler Liu, a descendant of a military family, who is burly and speaks with a resonant voice.

Han Yangting nodded and asked, "Where is Grandfather now?"

"In Number Two Castle, over at Second Uncle's place. The Old Master gave instructions that if the Eldest Young Master returned, you should go directly to Number Two Castle."

"Alright, I understand," Han Yangting said.

Han Yangting looked toward Number Two Castle.

This manor was built before the Han Family came to Beishi.

Grandfather's father, that is, Han Yangting's great-grandfather, was once a meritorious general, and their Han Family obtained this manor.

Grandfather was also once a soldier, but he retired for some unspeakable reasons. Borrowing the spring breeze of reform, he started a company. At the time, funds were insufficient, so he borrowed money from Second Uncle, which is why Second Uncle also holds a portion of the shares.

Unexpectedly, the scale of the company expanded again and again, quietly occupying major markets, and Second Uncle's family benefited along with it.

However, every time there was a need to invest money to expand the group's scale, Second Uncle's family refused to pay, fearing losses; therefore, the shares held by Second Uncle's family became less and less, only 20%.

Especially after Han Yangting took over Baiyin Group, Han Yangting advocated using the internet for industrial upgrading and transformation, but Second Uncle disagreed, feeling that young people did not understand. As it turned out, Han Yangting succeeded. Second Uncle's family now has less than 15% of the shares.

Second Uncle's family has been grumbling constantly, wanting to control more shares, but Grandfather has never agreed, firmly controlling the shares of Baiyin so as not to let the Second Branch take advantage of the situation.

Especially this time, Han Yangting advocated establishing a new Baiyin Mansion headquarters in Fengcheng for three reasons: first, Fengcheng is the root of the old Han Family; second, the Fengcheng government offered very good conditions to attract them to settle there; third, even if the headquarters is in Fengcheng, the Han Family members can still live in Beishi just the same, as long as they come over to check on things during occasional business trips.

Second Uncle's family made a scene many times, but Han Yangting went his own way.

In this manor, Grandfather's family lives in Castle No. 1, and Second Uncle lives in Number Two Castle.

Number Three Castle is relatively small and located further back; it is currently where the servants live.

Han Yangting entered Number Two Castle.

Before even entering the door, he could only feel that it was noisy inside.

Since it is Second Uncle's birthday, he naturally had to invite many relatives over. The relatives were eating and playing in the castle on their own, while Han Yangting's grandfather and mother were sitting in a corner, appearing out of place.

After Han Yangting entered the house, there was a moment of silence in the room.

Wearing a long black overcoat, Han Yangting was tall, with a steady temperament and a powerful presence. Seeing him, the people in the room naturally felt as if they were seeing some kind of leader.

Consequently, the people inside could not help but take the initiative to greet Han Yangting; some called him cousin-uncle, others called him cousin-uncle, or cousin, cousin-uncle...

After the greetings were finished, not knowing what to talk to Han Yangting about, they continued doing their own things.

Han Yangting walked up to his grandfather, Han Weimin, respectfully called him Grandfather, then looked at Ye Caiyue, who was elegant and still charming, and called out, "Mom."

There were too many people here, and it was not a good place to chat, otherwise, they would have to shout.

Before long, Second Uncle Han Jinbu came down from upstairs.

The 72-year-old Han Jinbu was wearing a colorful small suit today, with a bow tie around his neck and a wig, and the wig was combed until it was slick and shiny.

As soon as he arrived, everyone greeted him.

He also walked down with a pretentious air.

After greeting the people in front, he saw Han Yangting.

He walked toward Han Yangting, his tone equally sarcastic: "Yo, Yangting, it's rare that you're giving me face, coming all the way back from Fengcheng to see me. I heard you even married a delicate wife in Fengcheng; why didn't you bring her back for us to see?"

The crowd also looked at Han Yangting with curiosity, surprised that someone who had been steady and precocious since childhood would marry such a woman.

Clearly, in Beishi, there are many women who want to marry into the Han Family, and he has never lacked women around him since he was young.

Han Yangting smiled faintly: "Today is Second Uncle's birthday, so I naturally had to come back. My spouse is on a business trip; I'll bring her back next time."

Han Jinbu added: "She wouldn't be shy, would she? You grew up in Beishi since you were a child and went abroad for so many years; how can someone from a small place like Fengcheng be presentable?"

Han Yangting's gaze turned cold, and he said very impolitely: "Has Second Uncle forgotten that your own ancestral home is also in Fengcheng? The ancestral homes of everyone present are also in Fengcheng, right? Second Uncle should be ashamed to say such things that slap one's own face."

Han Jinbu said with cold eyes: "You are quite good at defending your delicate wife. For her sake, you even moved the headquarters to Fengcheng. It seems we can't say a single word about your little delicate wife."

"I didn't move the headquarters for her, but for the continued upgrading and expansion of the industry," Han Yangting said.

The headquarters in Beishi has so many employees that it is impossible for them all to run to Fengcheng, as that would lead to a loss of talent; Han Yangting has always emphasized the expansion of the group.

Of course, wherever he is, that is the headquarters!

Han Jinbu added: "I'm old, and I can't understand the minds of young people anymore."

Han Yangting showed no mercy in his response: "Since Second Uncle is old, then the matter of expanding our territory should be left to us young people."

This remark infuriated Han Jinbu.

Behind him, Ye Caiyue called out to Han Yangting: "Yangting, today is Second Uncle's birthday; did you bring any gift back for Second Uncle?"
