Gifting was a form of knowledge.

It didn't necessarily require expensive gifts to set off one's feelings. Sometimes, the simplest gifts could be used to send out the best gifts.

With a smile on his face, Xu Taiping took out a red packet from his pocket.

This was the kind of red packet that could be bought for a dollar on the side of the road.

On top of the red packet, there was a huge word "Life".

Xu Taiping got someone to take this red packet.

Who did you get it from? It was from a servant of the Zhao Family.

Early this morning, Old Master Zhao had given red packets to all the servants in the Zhao Family.

The Zhao Family was rich, so the least red packets were worth a thousand yuan. These were for the most ordinary servants of the Zhao Family, then there were some guards, housekeepers, deacons, and so on. These people's red packets were relatively bigger.

Xu Taiping found a servant and got a red packet from the servant.

When Xu Taiping took out the red packet, everyone in the banquet stared with their eyes wide open.

Even the most aloof and detached President of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, Zhao Qingshan, could not believe what he was seeing.

Someone was actually delivering a red packet to him at his birthday banquet?

Giving away money was a common thing.

Even if they really wanted to give away money, there were very few people who would just give it away. They would usually give away art items of higher value, which would make things more elegant this way.

Amongst everyone present, even those with the heaviest copper smell knew that they couldn't just give money to Old Man Zhao directly. Those like Xu Taiping who gave money directly could do as they pleased.

Moreover, looking at the thickness of the red packet, it was hard to imagine that there were more than ten 100-yuan bills inside.

At most, there should only be five hundred.

A five hundred red packet was considered a huge gift among the commoners, but this was not the Zhao Family, those who came were all people with status and rank. Not to mention five hundred, even if they gave out a fifty thousand red packet, it would still appear shabby.

At night, the cheapest gifts from all the givers would be worth hundreds of thousands.

The old tutor's expression was also rather strange.

A housekeeper stood by the old man's side.

This person was specifically responsible for helping the old tutor collect birthday presents. Usually, the things that the old tutor didn't like would be taken by him.

Just as the trembling butler was about to take the red packet from Xu Taiping, Old Man Zhao suddenly reached out and took it from him.

While everyone was still in shock, Old Master Zhao opened Xu Taiping's red packet and took it out … A hundred-dollar bill.

That's right, you didn't read it wrong. It was just a one hundred dollar bill!

There was only one!

There's one!

One!

Zhang!

This Xu Taiping actually only bought the old man a hundred yuan!

Was this a child who had just lost seven years old? Only by giving a seven-year-old child a red packet would it be so small, right?

Xu Taiping felt helpless, embarrassed, and stifled.

He didn't think that Old Man Zhao would actually open his red packet in front of so many people.

To be honest, everyone knew that Xu Taiping was rich, but he didn't bring any cash.

He had tried to borrow money from the servants of the Zhao Family, but he had only managed to get a hundred yuan.

Xu Taiping had originally planned to borrow it from the guests, but first, they all had their own status. Then it would be a bit too much for him to borrow money from others, and secondly, they all had their own status.

Therefore, Xu Taiping only borrowed one hundred yuan.

A hundred dollars was also money! Xu Taiping thought to himself, since Old Master Zhao wanted to accept so many gifts, he definitely wouldn't mind giving him such a small red packet, or even someone else wouldn't notice that he was giving a small red packet. Therefore, Xu Taiping naturally took note of it and took it for granted, but Xu Taiping had never expected that Old Master Zhao would sit at the main table and call out such a gift.

There was no helping it, it was too late to make a present now. Xu Taiping could only brace himself and go up. He did not expect that Old Man Zhao would give him so much, even giving him a hundred yuan in public.

The butler standing next to Old Master Zhao smirked and shouted loudly, "Xu Taiping, send …" One hundred yuan for one red packet. "

"Hahahaha!"

The entire courtyard was filled with laughter.

Even those people in power couldn't help but laugh when they heard the butler next to old man Zhao call out a hundred red packets of money.

Everyone looked at Xu Taiping, not understanding how a blue flag bearer like him could do such a strange thing.

The other four banner holders all lowered their heads in unison. At this moment, they all felt extremely regretful. Just how did they get blinded by the lard earlier? They actually agreed to let Xu Taiping become the flag bearer.

Dugu Ying, who was sitting beside Old Master Zhao, laughed.

This was the first time Xu Taiping heard Dugu Ying's voice. He was surprised to find out that Dugu Ying's voice was very pleasant to hear, like the call of a skylark.

"This is a disgrace." Zhang Yuande, who was seated below, had a mocking expression on his face.

"This person is truly... It's not normal. " Yu Guan Hong couldn't help but praise.

"I think that I can tell that he is different from everyone else just from this. Everyone is giving all kinds of carefully prepared gifts. Only he seems like he can do whatever he wants, but in reality, he has already left a deep impression on Old Man Zhao!" Chen Lingyun said in a deep voice.

The surrounding people were stunned for a moment before reacting.

Yes, the things they gave were all items of extraordinary value. Normally, these things would be the most impressive, but on this occasion, these things actually became common. It would be better if Xu Taiping just gave him a 100 yuan red packet like this.

What kind of good thing hadn't he seen for old man Zhao? Even if he had recorded the ancient martial arts's tortoise shell, Old Master Zhao would only reveal a slight smile. It could be seen that no matter how precious the gift was, Old Man Zhao would not put it in his heart. But now, if you sent a red packet worth a hundred yuan, Old Man Zhao might really remember you.

With Old Master Zhao's status, he naturally wouldn't vent his anger on you just because you gave him a red packet worth a hundred yuan. If he remembered you, then that would be a great thing for you.

"Why didn't I think of that!" A person sitting next to Yu Guan Hong couldn't help but clap his hands as he spoke.

"Me too, I didn't think that going in the opposite direction. This Xu Taiping looks like he's making a fool out of himself, but he's actually the most outstanding one out of all the gifts!" Another person exclaimed.

None of them were stupid. After laughing for a while, many of them realized how extraordinary Xu Taiping's move was!

In the hall.

Old Master Zhao suddenly laughed heartily.

The laughter at the scene immediately died down, leaving only the sound of Old Master Zhao's laughter in the air.

"Hahahaha, interesting, too interesting, too interesting, Taiping, I like your red packet. Truthfully, my father left early, and in the past dozens of years, only I sent red packets to others, but no one ever sent me a single red packet. Everyone sent me all kinds of gifts, but they forgot that red packets are my oldest tradition in China, and this red packet of yours reminded me of my father, my grandparents, my great-grandfather, and the red packet they gave me back then. Everything remains, you make me feel that I'm not 70 years old this year, but that I'm still very young." Old Master Zhao laughed as he spoke.

They had spent a lot of time and money to prepare this gift, and had originally intended to please the old man. However, they hadn't expected that the other person's one hundred yuan red packet would make the old man so happy, and if they had known earlier, they would have given him a red packet as well.

Everyone looked at Xu Taiping in admiration.

Everyone knew how to do it, and now everyone thought that sending red packets would have all sorts of benefits. However, only Xu Taiping would actually do it.

Was Xu Taiping someone who had no money? In the entire Yangtze River Basin, his identity was not one of the most prestigious people there, but at the very least, he was from the lower tier. It was impossible for him to not have prepared any valuable gifts, so he had definitely thought carefully over this one hundred yuan red packet; he had definitely figured out Old Master Zhao's intentions, which was why he had sent this red packet.

In this world, there were very few people who could understand Old Master Zhao's thoughts. Not only could this Xu Taiping comprehend it, he could even give it his all. This kind of wisdom was incomparable to ordinary people!

"Peace, the dragon and the phoenix among men!" Chen Shengli sighed.

"Awesome!" Two words came out of Li Chenghuan's mouth.

Although Xu Taiping was a bit confused, with his intelligence, he quickly understood the crux of the matter. He rolled his eyes and smiled, "Old Master, it's good that you like it!"

"I like it very much. There are so many people here, and you and little Yingying are the ones who are most interested in each other. It's peaceful, and it just so happens to be a good opportunity to get the attention of so many people. I want to ask you something." Old Man Zhao said.

"What is it?" Xu Taiping asked.

"You … When do you plan to pay homecoming? " Old Master Zhao asked with a smile.

Old Master Zhao's words had once again plunged the entire area into a deathly silence.
