The auction ended, but the crowd did not disperse. Except for a few people who left first, the rest were still on the lawn.

There are seventeen round tables in the center of the venue, and there are six chairs next to each table.

There are nine long tables on one side of the venue. Standing next to one of them is a person, who respectfully and politely serves rice to the people passing by with plates, or takes out a small bowl that has been prepared to serve soup to the guests.

There are another eight tables, each with twelve plates on them. These twelve plates contain the same dish. There are also a few pairs of serving chopsticks placed on the chopstick pillows for people to take their own meals. The table and

The dishes on the table are different, so there are eight dishes in total.

Yes, this is the buffet organized by Xiao Jing.

China has always had a tradition of talking about things at the dinner table. It is rare that all the wealthy businessmen and households in the capital are gathered together. If you don't give everyone a chance to connect with each other after the event, wouldn't it be in vain?

At first, everyone looked at where a group of people were busy setting up tables, and their eyes widened in confusion. After Xiao Jing explained the rules of the buffet, everyone suddenly understood, and they all praised Xiao Jing one after another, without hesitation in the words of praise.

There is an endless stream of people coming to talk to Xiao Jing. Until now, he has not been able to free up his hands to do anything else.

"Young Master Xiao is really a young talent." A middle-aged man with short stature but very strong looks looked at Xiao Jing and couldn't help but admired: "During the auction, Young Master showed his grace and elegance, and brushed away everyone while talking and laughing.

The doubts in my heart have led to a series of transactions, which is extremely rare."

He looked back at the businessmen who were sitting in groups eating and chatting at the dining table, and said: "After the auction, there will be a buffet. Seeing this scene, Jian understood the painstaking efforts and profound intentions of Mr. Xiao.

The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!"

"Jian Yuan is overly praised." Xiao Jing smiled and said: "It's just a small trick, it really can't be called a fantastic idea."

Officer Jian shook his head and said: "You can't say that. Even if you don't mention today's events and only talk about the Mirror, who can make the newspaper as good as the gentleman? Haha, my wife and daughter both love to read the Mirror. Every time it is sold,

, Jian has to find someone to buy a copy and take it back..."

While they were chatting, another businessman walked up to the two of them and seemed to have something to say. Officer Jian exchanged glances with him, confessed his crime to Xiao Jing, and walked away with the man.

Pan Feiyu, who had been waiting nearby, finally caught the opportunity. He hurriedly came to Xiao Jing's side and whispered: "Brother Xiao, I'm glad I didn't disgrace my life and finally got the matter done."

Xiao Jing looked at the sweat stains on his face that had not dried up yet, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Pan. You are the most tired person today. Why don't you go get something to eat?"

Pan Feiyu touched his head and said: "No, I'll go back and sort out the manuscript. When the buffet is over, Brother Xiao will call me and I will come back to help clean up."

After that, he ran away in a hurry, and Xiao Jing, who had always been strict with all kinds of work, couldn't help but nodded slightly after he left.

Pan Feiyu, who is responsible for organizing the buffet, is definitely the busiest person in the newspaper office today.

So many tables, chairs, and tableware had to be borrowed from nearby homes or restaurants. Moving also required manpower. It was him who contacted everyone and made arrangements to get all the relevant things ready on time, and then organized helpers to move them to the site.

, leave it to Dong Xiaoya to arrange and decorate.

Don't underestimate these eight dishes, they come from four restaurants. Xiao Jing, who had scouted out the route early in the morning, selected two signature dishes from each of these four restaurants. After that, Pan Feiyu hired two large trucks to carry a lot of food boxes.

They went to various places and brought these delicacies back smoothly before the meal.

It’s really not easy to play something advanced in this era.

For this matter, Xiao Jing asked Shaoning to borrow two hundred taels of silver, and Shaoning happily gave the money without saying a word. This kid also knew that the newspaper company would make another profit after the auction, so he didn't care at all.

Worry that others will not pay back the money they owe.

Judging from today's scene, the effect of the entire event was quite good. The businessmen sat at different tables consciously according to their familiarity. Some chatted and laughed, and some took the opportunity to discuss business. After getting up to get the food, they still had the opportunity to change

Set up a table, go meet other acquaintances, or get close to people you don't know so well to connect with each other.

Only with the flow of capital can such a big event be carried out... So, being rich means being willful.

While he was sighing with emotion, Officer Jian came back and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, don't you go and have something to eat?"

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I still want to take care of you, so I won't go now."

The other party was very talkative, so Xiao Jing had no choice but to accompany him. The two chatted for a while, and then Officer Jian suddenly said: "I wonder if Young Master Xiao has ever been married?"

Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat.

When chatting just now, Officer Jian mentioned his daughter twice. Now he asked about marriage, could it be...

Xiao Jing said hurriedly: "I am not married yet. However, the affairs of the newspaper office are so complicated that Xiao really has no time to take care of this matter. We can only talk about it in a few years."

Officer Jian laughed and was about to speak when another person came to the side and wanted to talk to him. In desperation, he had no choice but to go to the side with that person.

Xiao Jing took a long breath.

Everyone will be a little embarrassed when asked about their love life by someone they don't know very well. However, in this era, this is a common thing.

To put it bluntly, even if someone asks, it actually doesn't matter. Men get married when they are older, and women get married when they are older. There are many parents in the world who are willing to make decisions for their children, and there is not even one other than Jian Jian.

Just be afraid, on the surface they are talking about getting married, but what they are planning in their hearts is the combination of interests. In human history, there has never been a shortage of people who regard their children as bargaining chips; as a time traveler, Xiao Jing does not want his emotional life to be affected.

influenced by any profit factors.

That long-lost beautiful figure appeared in Xiao Jing's mind again.

I don’t know how she is doing now? Has she read all the newspapers I sent?

Xiao Jing's face looked a little gloomy. In order to adjust his mood, he looked at the dining area again. The lively scene could give him some comfort.

According to Xiao Jing's original idea, he wanted to put eight food bowls on the table and pour all the twelve dishes on each table into them. After thinking about it carefully, this method was not appropriate. After all, everyone who came was

For those who are particular about eating fine food and don't tire of details, even if the same dish is poured into the basin, it will give people the feeling of a mixed dish, which must be very unappetizing to them.

He also rejected the idea of ​​​​completely self-help. These big men usually have people to wait on them when they eat. If they were to serve the rice and ladle the soup themselves, if one of them made a fool of themselves, the gain would outweigh the loss.

It’s pretty good to be able to do this under the current conditions, right?
