Volga drove Chu Heng at a fast pace and soon arrived at the Forty-Nine City Hotel.
"Crack, snap, snap!"
He stepped on the pair of brand-name leather shoes he bought in Hong Kong Island and came to the door of the hotel. The hotel employee who was looking at the door was already familiar with this guy. When he saw him coming over, he greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Comrade Chu Heng is here today.
The clothes are quite nice."
"Hey, that's it." Chu Heng smiled at him, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one over: "Is anyone else here?"
"I've been here a long time ago. The first one arrived before seven o'clock."
"Okay, then I'll go in first and talk later."
Chu Heng waved and walked into the hotel, said hello to the aunt at the front desk, and quickly went upstairs to the banquet hall they had reserved.
At this moment, all the bad guys from the project team are in place. Qian Ding is leading Yin Gaohe and other young people to decorate the banquet hall. Veterans Lu Yansong and Ren Yiping are cleaning up with the waiters.
Miss Li was hiding in the corner, holding a speech and chanting.
Everyone is busy with their own things.
"Who asked you to put these flowers?"
As soon as Chu Heng came in, he saw the flowers placed in every corner of the banquet hall, including peonies, peonies, eight immortals, forsythia, etc., and they were all in bloom, filling the whole room with a light floral fragrance, making the whole room full of flowers.
People feel happy.
"I got it, team leader." Yu He ran over and claimed the credit proudly: "I think our banquet hall is a bit too monotonous, so I borrowed it from Feiqi, who works in the Botanical Garden.
How about some flowers? Doesn’t it look much better?”
"Look at your grandma's legs! Who the hell let you make your own decisions?"
Chu Heng glared at him with a dark face and scolded: "Wine tasting requires one look, two smells, and three tastes. Do you know that bringing these flowers here will affect your judgment of the aroma of the wine? Hurry up!"
Remove it and open the window to let out the smell!"
"I'm sorry, team leader, I really didn't know there were so many details. I'll go right away. I'll go right now." Yu He, who wanted to show some subjective initiative but failed to show it clearly, shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly went to greet Yin Gaohe.
Several waiter classes are spent.
"Te Niang's achievements are not as good as her failure!" Chu Heng glared at this guy again in annoyance, then walked around the room, checking the situation everywhere, and if he found anything he was not satisfied with, he quickly asked someone to improve it.
Turn around a room full of people.
"Who cleaned this wine glass? There are still fingerprints on it. Wash it quickly and check it carefully again."
"Hey, I'll go make arrangements right away."
"Who, come here and rearrange these tables and chairs, they are placed too far in."
"Okay!"
"Why is there so much snot on the curtains... Damn, this is not snot! Change it quickly, hurry up!"
After busy chattering for a while, it was past ten o'clock in a blink of an eye.
Just when Chu Heng was about to let everyone take a break, Mr. Meng suddenly came to the banquet hall accompanied by his secretary.
"lead!"
"Good leadership."
Everyone rushed over to say hello.
"Why are you still here?" Chu Heng was very puzzled by his arrival: "You still want to participate in this small scene in person?"
"I was just passing by and came in to take a look." Meng Huazhi, who had spared a lot of time on the way to the meeting, smiled calmly, then looked at the layout of the room, asked about the preparations, and asked Chu
Heng called to the side and said: "After thinking about it these past few days, I still feel that your wine tasting skills are a bit unreliable."
Chu Heng, who thought he was going to repeat the old tune again, said speechlessly: "Oh, my leader, this is just an ordinary wine tasting party, not a meeting of heads of state. Why do you have to be so serious?"
"I'm not talking about seriousness or not."
Meng Huazhi shook his head and said: "These days, I have also found someone to find out some information about red wine classification. For example, foreign red wines will have specialized sommeliers responsible for these things, and the process is quite harsh and rigorous. On your end,
Isn’t it a bit too hasty to grade our red wines in just one tasting session?”
"You are worrying too much, leader." Chu Heng smiled after hearing this and said confidently: "Although my method is not as professional as foreign countries, it is not bad. The guests I invited today,
They are all people from embassies and agencies of various countries, and most of them are people from the middle and upper classes. They basically have a certain ability to appreciate red wine. As the saying goes, three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang, so we found five or six in one go.
Ten people come to vote for the selection. How can it be better than a few sommeliers?"
"But can you guarantee that there will be no problem with their choice? What if these people choose randomly?"
"Do you think that little game I played was just to liven up the atmosphere?"
"Isn't it?" Meng Huazhi looked at him puzzled.
"Of course not. I created this game just to stop these people from making random choices and to taste the wine carefully." Chu Heng said with a stern look on his face.
"Hey, you kid, you have so many clever ideas." Meng Huazhi understood as soon as he heard this, and his worries disappeared. He smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Okay, I can handle this wine tasting party by myself. I have other things to do.
Just leave first."
"I'll send you off."
"No, go ahead and do your business."
Accompanied by his secretary, Meng Huazhi strolled away with his hands behind his back. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
After he left, Chu Heng also invited others to drink some water, smoke a cigarette, rest for a while, and then continued working.
In this way, the time soon came to around four o'clock in the evening.
At this moment, the banquet hall has been decorated, and the long table on the left is filled with various food and drinks, including smoked fish, cheese, ham, chocolate, etc.
On the long table on the right are goblets and decanters. There is a waiter at intervals behind the table, responsible for pouring wine for the guests.
The curtains in the room were also drawn, soft lights fell from the ceiling, and the gramophone in the corner played soothing piano music.
The entire banquet hall gives people a very relaxed atmosphere.
At this time, Chu Heng raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said: "It's almost time. Qian Ding, hurry up and take someone to the door to receive you."
"Okay." Qian Ding changed into a suit and quickly arranged the next table, then greeted a few people and quickly left the banquet hall and went downstairs.
Others were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the guests.
Soon the time came to about 4:40, and several foreigners came together to the outside of the banquet hall, signed at the door, and held cards with their names written on them and dark gold patterns that were not as good as the banquet hall.
"Chu?"
One of the foreign devils was an acquaintance of Chu Heng. His name was Malkin, a Hungarian who used to gamble together.
"I didn't expect you to be here too, long time no see, my friend." Chu Heng enthusiastically stepped forward and hugged the other person, and then said hello to several people around him.
Then Malkin asked curiously: "Chu, what is going on with this wine tasting party? Is there any explanation?"
"There's no explanation. It's just a small event for everyone to connect emotionally."
