After all, even if they are honest in their hearts, they cannot stop others from thinking wrongly. If this affects Shangguan Laner's reputation, there will be endless troubles.
Arriving on the first floor, as Xu Lingchong said, the Huayangju hall was already full of distinguished guests. Although everyone was deliberately restraining their momentum, Lin Yi could still feel that no one present was an ordinary person.
Especially those big shots who were qualified to sit on the main seat, each one was so angry that they seemed to be sacred. In front of them, Lin Yi could only have a feeling of standing tall and standing tall.
Among these big shots, there are quite a few faces that Lin Yi has seen before, such as Xu Yuanzheng, the third elder of Chongtian Pavilion, Zhao Hongbo, the fourth elder of Qingyun Pavilion, the bald elder who guards the back mountain hall, and the father-in-law who has dealt with him before.
Yang Jie is also among them.
Lin Yi even met an old acquaintance among them, Hong Zhong from the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
This is quite beyond Lin Yi's expectation, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. As the authorized agent of Hong's Chamber of Commerce in North Island, it is natural for Hong Zhong to get close to the top officials of the three major pavilions.
.
What's more, he himself is not below the elders of the three major pavilions in terms of identity and status, so he is naturally qualified to occupy a main seat.
However, although Lin Yi and he were acquaintances, they met as Lin Er. Now Lin Yi appears in his true form, and Hong Zhong may not be able to recognize him.
As Shangguan Laner appeared, everyone in the audience who was still chatting among themselves immediately focused their attention on the protagonist of today's birthday party. Everyone was smiling, and there was a bit of amazement in their eyes.
As the protagonist, Shangguan Laner's dress today is actually no different from usual. There is no deliberate dress up or decoration. However, even so, it is still difficult to hide her natural beauty. Under the dreamy atmosphere deliberately created by the whole audience.
The fairy descends to earth and dazzles people.
However, while everyone's eyes were focused on Shangguan Lan'er, many people still noticed Lin Yi who came down behind her. They were stunned for a moment and then started whispering.
Except for old acquaintances such as Xu Lingchong and Nantianmen, no one else knew anything about Lin Yi, a purely new face. When he suddenly saw him appearing with Miss Shangguan, of course, all kinds of suspicions arose.
There were a lot of discussions in private.
At this time, Shangguan Tianhua, who was sitting on the main seat in the middle, waved to Shangguan Lan'er with half pampering and half scolding: "Xiao Lan'er, why don't you come over quickly and say hello to all the grandfathers and uncles? Let's do this
There are so many elders waiting for you alone, you are so proud today."
"Junior brother, please find a place to sit down first. I will come back to you later!" Shangguan Laner turned to Lin Yi and said quietly to Lin Yi, and then trotted over happily with the little Juanjuan Xiong.
Xu Lingchong watched this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but feel angry again. After having the preconceived suspicion before, he now saw every little move of Shangguan Laner and Lin Yi, and felt that these two people were secretly having sex.
It's unbearable.
"Fortunately, I thought this little girl was pure and cute, and her holiness should not be violated. I didn't expect to be such a promiscuous woman with a unique taste. I'm so blind!" Xu Lingchong spat on the ground viciously,
A bold plan quietly took shape in his mind.
No matter what considerations he had, he could not let Shangguan Laner escape from his grasp, absolutely not. For this reason, he would not hesitate to use any means or even take a little risk!
At this moment, there is a happy and harmonious scene in the hall. Among the many big figures present, even if they have irreconcilable conflicts with each other during the festival, they cannot show it at this time. At least in public, they must temporarily force laughter. After all,
They had to give Shangguan Tianhua the face of this super boss.
The birthday banquet, in addition to bringing together many important people to greet each other and win friendship, also has an indispensable highlight as usual. Today, under the arrangement of Xu Lingchong, is no exception, and that is Shangguan Laner.
A gift for the hero of the birthday party.
According to each other's status and strength, everyone in the audience sent birthday gifts to Shangguan Lan'er in turn. This was not only an expression of their feelings, but also an excellent opportunity to show their own energy.
Inevitably, the birthday party will eventually become more or less a competition among everyone. Whoever gives out a rarer and more precious gift means that whoever has greater energy will naturally have a higher status in the minds of many big shots in the future.
The higher the price, as for those slightly shabby and ordinary gifts, it is impossible to give them away, and even if they are given out, they will only be embarrassing.
But this time, under Xu Lingchong's deliberate arrangement, not only did everyone need to give out gifts in front of everyone, they even rented three appraisal experts from major chambers of commerce to comment on each gift one by one in public.
, euphemistically called the Birthday Appreciation Conference.
As a result, the atmosphere of comparison at the scene was much stronger than before. After hearing Xu Lingchong's announcement, the expressions on everyone's faces were either happy or sad, which was truly wonderful.
The top big shots in the North Island are gathered together. This kind of opportunity is very rare. Everyone wants to shine on this occasion and impress many big shots, but no one wants to be embarrassed at this time. Once a stingy comment is left, it will be terrible.
I was complaining endlessly.
If we had known that there would be such a link, it is estimated that everyone present would definitely spare no effort to present the best rare treasures, which would leave a good impression in the minds of many big bosses, no matter how much they spent on it, it would not be a loss.
.
It's a pity that when Xu Lingchong sent them the invitation letter, he treated them differently in the process. Those who were close to the Xu family were reminded when they received the invitation letter, and those who were close to them were
The relationship between the Xu family is average or even bad, but they are completely unaware of this.
In fact, they will be deliberately misled by others, thinking that this birthday party is just a formality and there is no need to bother preparing any expensive gifts.
Therefore, those who have been reminded can show their faces and shine next, while those who have been deliberately misled will be truly tragic now, and can only suffer in anxiety, waiting for themselves to become the laughing stock of the whole audience.
All processes are under the control of Xu Lingchong. Every member of his Xu family has made great achievements, while those who are against his Xu family can only bite the bullet and accept the contemptuous looks of the audience. (Unfinished)
