The large restaurant on the first floor of the hotel was packed with guests, but it was not as lively and lively as Xu Zheng's friends and relatives had imagined.
Most of the guests were sitting at the dinner table, laughing and chatting quietly and elegantly, eating and drinking.
How can it be compared to the lively atmosphere of a banquet in the countryside, where people shout, punch, and drink? It’s just that this kind of scene makes Xu Zhengyang feel quite happy. Whether he was before or now, he doesn’t like it very much.
This kind of behavior made them a group of buddies who rarely caused dissatisfaction from outsiders when they drank together.
Only when Yao Chushun walked to a certain table with a glass of wine in his hands, some more attractive and cheerful laughter would burst out, and it would soon calm down as Yao Chushun left politely.
I don’t know whether it was because Xu Rouyue or Yuan Suqin Xu Neng told me something, or because the relatives felt that Xiaoyi was a little inferior in front of these rich people. In short, they did not behave like they did at the banquet in the countryside, but instead
Xiaoyi was cautious, even deliberately lowering his voice when chatting. This was a bit counterproductive, because it seemed too artificial, not like the natural chatter and laughter at other tables.
Xu Rouyue and Ouyang Ying were sitting on both sides of Yuan Suqin, picking up vegetables and juice, and talking about some interesting things that girls are proud of. Yuan Suqin was so happy that she seemed to be sitting in a void, feeling light all over.
However, Diao Yishi sat next to Chen Chaojiang. However, Chen Chaojiang's cold appearance really made Diao Yishi shut down several times. In desperation, he could only chat a few words occasionally with Chen Chaojiang and Xu Zhengyang, and he did not forget to ask with his eyes.
Xu Zhengyang helped him say a few words so that Chen Chaojiang could understand his sincere intention to become a disciple.
There were many empty seats at Yao Chushun's table. Zheng Ronghua, Yu Zhenbang and Pang Zhong didn't pay much attention. They seemed to be used to this kind of scene, so they chatted casually. However, Zheng Ronghua occasionally meant it.
Inadvertently, I glanced at the corner of the hall where Xu Zhengyang was.
When Yao Chushun came with the toast, Zheng Ronghua said with a smile: "Master Gu's face is really glowing today.
"Old man, old man, I can't stand it any longer. I'm really a bit over the top after this." Yao Chushun was indeed a little drunk, but fortunately, everyone present did not let him drink too much, and he only tasted it, and he had enough etiquette.
That's fine. Even so, after this round, Yao Chushun still drank a lot of wine. The word "rosy face" can no longer be used to describe him. It is more appropriate to say "red face and thick neck".
Yao Chushun picked up the wine glass with both hands and said with a smile: "I am really honored that Secretary Yu and Director Pang are here today! Come on, let me toast you two." After that, Yao Chushun drank the glass in one gulp.
liquor.
Yu Zhenbang and Pang Zhong smiled and exchanged a few polite words, meaning they drank some wine.
Yu Zhenbang said: "It is an honor for our Zehe City to have a figure like Mr. Gu. He is famous not only in the whole province, but also in the antique circles of the capital and other provinces. The opening of Gu Xiangxuan will be a great success."
Let’s make Zehe City, an ancient city with a long history, famous!”
"Secretary Yu's words doubled my pressure, haha." Yao Chushun said politely: "It's all my friends' false praise. I can't bear it. I can't bear it."
Pang Zhong said: "I don't know much about antiques and curios, and I don't have any preferences. Today is a great day for opening. I shouldn't say something unpleasant, but my personality is like this. I always feel uncomfortable if I don't say it.
, Mr. Gu, I hope you don't mind." After a pause, Pang Zhong continued: "Business should be done in a down-to-earth manner, and you should make money according to your duties. You must not go down the same path as Tianbaozhai Mingyuan. By that time, our public security department will
I don’t know how to be kind."
"That's natural. Haha." Yao Chushun didn't care and said with a smile.
Zheng Ronghua smoothed things over and said: "Director Panda, is this an occupational disease?"
Everyone present laughed.
This is probably true. Half of what Pang Zhong said just now was a well-intentioned reminder, and half was a warning. He was not in a very good mood. Although he did get praise for cracking a major cultural relic smuggling case, it was not a short sentence.
Within half a year, two major cases occurred in Huohe City that shocked the whole country. On another level, Pang Zhong still felt that he, the police chief, had neglected his duties.
After chatting for a while, Zheng Ronghua asked seemingly casually: "Master Gu, why doesn't your shareholder friend Xu Zhengyang go through the motions with you so that you can get to know more people?"
"Him?" Yao Chushun smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining: "This guy said he is thin-skinned and gets nervous and speechless when meeting rich and wealthy people." With such a personality, he doesn't like to show off much.
.”
"It's rare." Zheng Ronghua nodded in appreciation, and then glanced at Xu Zhengyang.
Yu Zhenbang and Pang Zhong were stunned, and then looked at Xu Zhengyang. This guy, is actually a shareholder of Gu Xiangxuan? He is a good friend of Gu Ye Yao Chushun? Isn't it simple? No wonder that time
In the presence of so many high-ranking officials and police officers, he was able to remain calm and calm, sitting back and watching the situation take a turn for the worse. However, at this age, it was really unbelievable.
I wanted to ask a few more questions about Xu Zhengyang intentionally or unintentionally, but at this moment Zhao Qing and Zhong Shan
Yu Zhenbang and Pang Zhong were naturally smiling. They sat down, chatted for a few words, and drank two glasses of wine.
Of course, Zhao Qing and Zhong Shan didn't rub their noses in each other's faces. They really sat at this table and never left. After saying a few polite words, they got up and returned to their original seats.
There is a saying in the countryside: There are so many people like monkeys on the mountain that there is no leader.
I don’t know if it is appropriate to describe the large restaurant on the first floor of the Yunlai Hotel at this time. There are dignitaries with prominent status in various fields.
I am a rough country man who lacks writing skills and has no ideas. Let me use rural slang to describe him like this.
In short, Zhao Qing and Zhong Shan, two people who may not be attractive to the nobles, made a start for some people. So those people who originally wanted to come up to toast a few drinks and talk a few words, all
One after another, people came forward, introduced themselves, and offered polite toasts."
The people who can be invited by the ancient master Yao Chu are not ordinary nouveau riche. They are either well-known figures in the antique circles of the province and even the capital, or some prominent figures in Zehe City and surrounding cities.
The conglomerate bosses who have an extreme hobby of collecting antiques. Without absolute financial strength, who can afford to collect antiques and antiques, these shabby things that are extremely expensive?
Not to mention the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Director of Public Security of Xiazehe City, it is a rare opportunity for them to get acquainted with Zheng Ronghua, the boss of Ronghua Group. After all, Ronghua Group is ranked among the top in the country.
A 500-year-old group company. Its strength is no less than that of some heavyweight state-owned enterprises.
Xu Zhengyang, who was sitting at a table in a remote place, naturally saw this scene. He also wanted to go over and offer Zheng Ronghua a glass of wine and say a few polite words. Anyway, the new store opened today, and he is half the owner of Guxiangxuan.
, but Zheng Ronghua knew it very well. If he didn't go there, it would be a lack of etiquette. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed hawk? He just looked at the two senior officials next to him, Xu Zhengyang, and thought about it, and let it go. Anyway, he had just been with Yao Chushun.
Just say hello and ask him to help explain a few words. Besides, given Zheng Ronghua's status, he shouldn't be able to care about these etiquette with him.
As always, things flock together and people divide into groups.
Except for Diao Yishi and Ouyang Ying, the three tables at Xu Zhengyang's place are all country folk. Zhong Zhijun is just a small policeman. Zhou Qiang's family is doing business in Zehe City." That's just a lot of people in Shuanghe Village.
It's just something that people envy, it's just that my family has assets worth 1.8 million.
And at the table next to them, there was another kind of person gathered.
Well, there are some figures in the antique circles in surrounding cities and provincial capitals. They have no good or bad impressions of Yao Chushun and Gu Xiangxuan. For the sake of face, they came to the banquet only after being invited. Of course, relatively
Speaking of which, Yao Chushun was able to send them invitations, and this was also the reason. The nature of people's hearts is so different. Once Yao Chushun was all-powerful, but later he suffered a complete defeat, and was ridiculed and despised. Who would have thought that once he was in power, he would rise again, and he would be as good as sitting still?
The sun is rising like a rocket. Isn’t this just a slap in the face to some people with reality?
A man in his forties, with a shiny face and a suit and leather shoes, seemed to be looking for someone to vent his jealousy and jealousy. He looked disdainfully at the table next to Xu Zhengyang and the others, as well as the two tables behind, and
The person next to him said: "How come anyone can be on the stage? Yao Chushun is really a man of all walks of life. He can reach out and get to know each other from all walks of life."
"Haha, Boss Zhang has forgotten what kind of life Yao Chushun lived in the past few years?" The man next to him said with a slightly mocking tone.
Another person even said disdainfully: "Look at these bumpkins, all sitting there nervously, not daring to say a word loudly, what are you doing here? Aren't you looking for trouble for yourself?
"
Several people around the table laughed, as if the joke made them proud and allowed them to vent.
Diao Yishi turned his head sharply and said, "Hey, did you guys have dinner at home when you came here?"
Several people were slightly startled, wondering what this young man who seemed to have a higher status than those sitting with him meant by this.
Diao Yishi sneered and said, "I thought you had bad breath because you ate unclean things at home.
"You" The person who first uttered the mocking words had an angry look on his face.
The person next to him advised: "Forget it, don't be the same as them, you won't be guilty."
"Fuck, you're a show-off." Diao Yishi scolded him contemptuously.
Everyone was furious.
However, Xu Zhengyang pulled Diao Ishi and stopped him from getting angry.
What no one expected was that Xu Zhengyang stood up with a glass of wine, stood in front of the table, and said in a high voice to the oily man: "Come on, brother, let's have a drink and get to know each other."
