Hold a thank-you banquet
Time flies, reincarnation goes back and forth, and more than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye. Xie Kefeng always hides a trace of regret and melancholy in his heart, the son who once worried him day and night, unfortunately disappeared at the age of four months, and his whereabouts are still a mystery.
As a father, he recalls that nightmarish night all the time.
Just a few days ago, a shocking news hit Kefeng's heart like a thunderbolt of lightning. The beloved son, whom he had regarded as forever gone, appeared in front of him unharmed! It turned out that on that night many years ago, the child was trafficked to a remote mountainous area, which caused him to lose news from his family for so long.
Xie Kefeng was undoubtedly overjoyed by his son's bizarre return, and he was extremely grateful to fate for allowing him to reunite with his beloved son in his lifetime. In order to celebrate this moment worthy of going down in history, he resolutely decided to plan a grand thank-you banquet at the Tianci Liangyuan Hotel in Xingtai, Hebei Province, to repay people from all walks of life for their long-term care and support to him.
Naturally, the preparatory work was carried out without missing a penny, and all arrangements were foolproof. As the owner of the hotel, Xie Kefeng knows the details of the banquet well. The interior of the luxurious Grand Hotel has been renovated and is filled with flowers and decorations to create a festive atmosphere.
The stage has a new look, with dazzling lights flashing, indicating that this will be a grand carnival that will go down in history.
For this long-awaited reunion moment, Xie Kefeng can be said to be very eager and long-awaited for a long time. He personally planned the whole banquet, which all reflected the joy and excitement of a father for the return of his son.
As the protagonist of this grand event, the son was naturally personable and walked with dignity that night. He was wearing a crisp black suit, and his expression was strong and mighty, which attracted the attention of all the guests present.
Questioning Xie Kefeng's stinginess
When the first dish of the banquet was carefully plated and served to the table, the scene was suddenly silent. The guests' eyes widened in unison, and their faces were filled with doubts and disappointments.
I saw that the number and variety of dishes on the table were quite limited except for some ordinary home-cooked dishes. As a grand thank-you banquet, this is slightly monotonous and shabby.
What's even more criticized is that when the waiter pours wine for the guests, it is just an ordinary bottle of wine with a price of about 100 yuan.
For a while, the guests looked at each other and couldn't help but slander themselves.
Soon, someone at the scene began to whisper in private, expressing their inner dissatisfaction. Some people directly took out their mobile phones and took a few short videos at the dining table, which were quickly exposed on the Internet.
"What's going on? This is the feast that Xie Kefeng prepared for his son? It's really a little family angry at home!"
"It's just a bottle of 100 yuan wine, it's too picky, isn't it?"
"I think the dishes on this table add up to three or four hundred yuan, perfunctory!"
On the Internet, doubts were endless, and Xie Kefeng soon became the target of public opinion. All kinds of ridicule and criticism quickly spread on the Internet, accusing him of being a miser, refusing to be generous and decent even for such a grand moment, which is really stingy to the extreme.
Need to manage your money wisely
In fact, as the owner of a small business, Xie Kefeng has his own considerations. As an ordinary person, he has known how to cherish his hard-won money since he was a child, and has always maintained a consistent frugal style.
Even if he has a lot of money now, he will never squander and waste it like those nouveau riche.
You know, in today's highly competitive business environment, it is difficult for a small company to survive and develop. Small enterprises undoubtedly have to bear many heavy pressures such as broken capital chains and brain drains, and have no time to spend extravagance and waste.
As the head of the company, Xie Kefeng naturally needs to tighten this string at all times, manage money wisely, and allocate resources reasonably.
It was with this concern that he naturally adopted some careful strategies when organizing this banquet. For example, in the choice of dishes, he deliberately avoided those delicacies from the mountains and seas that were too expensive, and chose some home-cooked meals; The same is true for drinks, only ordering some ordinary low-priced wines, and there is absolutely no intention of extravagance.
This does give people a "small belly chicken intestine" feeling. But thinking about it from another angle, Xie Kefeng may have made such a "thrifty" decision out of a deep understanding of the difficult status quo of the enterprise.
As a successful entrepreneur, he must want every penny of the company to be carefully calculated, and never extravagant and wasteful.
Of course, we can't deny that the reason why some people have a lot of complaints about this banquet is probably due to a misunderstanding of Mr. Xie Kefeng. As a billionaire, there is a subtle belief that he should be generous in his guests.
But as an ordinary small entrepreneur, he has his own way of survival and unique philosophy, and we are not qualified to point fingers at this.
Complimentary hospitality
Although the dishes and drinks at the scene did seem a little simple, we cannot deny that Mr. Xie Kefeng had good intentions for this banquet. As the organizer, he not only entertained all the guests for free, but even the venue was carefully selected in the top local hotels.
If you think about it, in real life, it is rare to be able to enjoy such a grand occasion for free. Even if it is an ordinary family gathering, the cost of the venue and the dishes alone will cost a lot of silver.
And Xie Kefeng not only chartered a top hotel, but even paid for the meal out of his own pocket, which can be said to be a lot of money.
From this point of view, those nitpicks and picks about details seem to be a little too aggressive. We should pay more attention to and cherish Xie Kefeng's kindness of sincerely giving back to the society and treating each other with sincerity, rather than dwelling too much on superficial shortcomings.
After all, the original intention of this banquet is not to show off one's wealth to people, but to sincerely thank friends from all walks of life for their support and love over the years.
To be able to be so sincere and considerate, this heart is the most precious.
Good intentions are misinterpreted
Although Xie Kefeng's original intention was very sincere, this kindness was misinterpreted and questioned by many people. In fact, before this grand event, he had a special expectation in his heart - he hoped that in this way, he could sincerely express his gratitude to people from all walks of life and repay everyone for their care and support for him over the years.
However, the reality was far from what he had hoped. There seems to be high expectations for the billionaire who is so rich that he will display a unique luxury on such a grand occasion.
It is precisely because of this preconceived notion that people are so careful and picky about some "shortcomings" in details. For example, the quality and quantity of drinks and dishes seem too rudimentary and cheap in their eyes.
But Xie Kefeng didn't have that kind of plan, he just wanted to give back to the society and treat each other with sincerity, hoping to take this opportunity to sincerely repay everyone.
People have always had high expectations of celebrities and wealthy people, hoping that they will reflect a different style and courage in everything they do. Once there is the slightest "ordinary" and "ordinary", it is difficult to escape the fate of criticism and injustice.
This is very regrettable and regrettable.
Understanding Good Faith
Looking back at the cause and effect of the whole incident, it is not difficult to find that the root cause of such a big difference and estrangement between the two sides is misunderstanding and difference in expectations.
On the one hand, Xie Kefeng actually held this event out of good intentions. As a celebration of his son's return, he hopes to express his gratitude to people from all walks of life for their love and support over the years.
This is an outpouring of goodwill, a sincere feeling to repay the society.
On the other hand, there are very different expectations of the billionaire who is so rich. They expect Xie Kefeng to show his unique generosity at such a grand moment, setting up sumptuous wine and food, luxurious venues, and showing the luxury that a rich man should have.
In the end, this misplaced expectation was disappointed and questioned to a certain extent, and Xie Kefeng's original intention was wantonly misinterpreted and denied, which is really regrettable and regrettable.
Perhaps, we should change our perspective and strive to dig out and appreciate the intentions behind the scenes, instead of dwelling too much on the shortcomings on the surface. Only by standing in Xie Kefeng's perspective and examining this matter comprehensively with an open and inclusive attitude can we truly understand and feel his kindness to repay the society and call friends.
After all, as a successful entrepreneur, Xie Kefeng must have his own unique philosophy and way of doing things. We should treat his approach with respect and understanding, rather than arbitrarily sitting on the table and bruising all over his body.
