It's past five o'clock in the evening, and the sky is filled with sunset.
The high-rise buildings in Beijing are lit up with neon lights of various shapes one after another. The bustling capital of China is now experiencing its most beautiful moment.
Near Ping An Port, at the Rainbow Beach Pier, a large, luxury cruise ship is docked.
"Wow, this cruise ship is too big and luxurious!"
The vast parking lot not far away is already filled with luxury cars, and wealthy businessmen and ladies are getting out one after another and walking up the stairs gracefully.
In a slightly dark corner, Huang Hao exclaimed, looking up at the luxury cruise ship, illuminated by lights. This cruise ship had more than ten decks and countless windows.
He has been in Shangjing for two years and has seen many grand scenes, but this is the first time he has had close contact with them. Today he can even board the ship in person.
"Stop yelling, it will embarrass Brother Zhang." Lin Yixian, who was also Zhang Qingyue's follower, scolded him.
He pretended to be calm, but could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
There are two people, one on the left and one on the right. In the middle is a fat man holding a sexy lady in an evening dress. They are Zhang Qingyue and Xu Yinmei.
Their eyes are also on the cruise ship.
"The 100,000-ton luxury cruise ship 'Polaris' costs US$100 million and ranks among the best in the world. It's normal to be shocked."
Zhang Qingyue raised his head haughtily, with a flash of shock in his eyes.
"One hundred million U.S. dollars!" Several people beside him changed their faces again, looking up at the cruise ship in even more shock.
"This is the first time for me to be invited to such a grand event. I have to admire the Jiang family's handiwork of Xiansheng Group. Mr. Jiang actually organized such a grand reception for his grandson's full moon wine."
Zhang Qingyue sighed, feeling a little more excited in his heart.
To be invited to the cocktail party, there were only one or two thousand people in Beijing.
"Thanks to Brother Zhang for being willing to take us to learn a lot this time, otherwise, we would not be qualified to work on ships as odd jobs for the rest of our lives." Huang Hao said with an apologetic smile.
"Brother Zhang, you are so awesome. This cocktail party is so lively. It should be the top banquet in Beijing." Xu Yinmei hugged Qingyue nervously and agreed in a cooing voice.
"The Jiang family is so wealthy. They should have gathered all the upper-class people in Beijing this time, right?"
Huang Hao and Lin Yixian nodded in agreement.
But Zhang Qingyue seemed to have thought of something. He pondered for two seconds and shook his head, "When it comes to the lineup, we can't just look at the number of participants. The birthday banquet of a certain family leader two days ago was really beautiful."
"I heard that the heads of seven or eight of the top ten wealthy families and more than twenty first-class family leaders came to celebrate their birthdays. The birthday gifts are cheap and are worth tens of millions of yuan.
"That means that most of the upper-class circles in Shangjing have gathered together. Any one person can equal the hundreds of people here. The Jiang family's cocktail party is lively, but the scenery will be slightly inferior.
"The real big shots, those who are close to the Jiang family, will send their confidants or family members to come over and give blessings. The remaining guests, nine out of ten, are companies and corporate executives that are comparable to or worse than Zenfeng Financial.
"Only a handful of people can be considered powerful."
Zhang Qingyue talked eloquently, with a dignified expression on his face.
"This..." The three people beside him came to their senses. Are you sure they came here to warm up the show and enhance the atmosphere?
Of course, the three of them were not even qualified to enter the venue, so this weird idea was instantly dismissed by them.
"Well, being invited is enough to show that Brother Zhang has entered the Beijing circle and has been recognized by them. Two days ago, I saw that you were brothers with Mr. Jiang from the Xiansheng Group."
Huang Hao took advantage of the situation and made another flattery.
The other two people quickly agreed, "That's right, with Brother Zhang's current connections, he can integrate into the rich second generation circle in Shangjing, and his future will be bright."
Zhang Qingyue chuckled and nodded, "Fortunately, thanks to the respect of those young men, this invitation is also thanks to this relationship..."
He turned to look at Xu Yinmei, "You are so beautiful today."
"Oh, let's talk about this in private." Xu Yinmei covered her face shyly.
Zhang Qingyue chuckled and looked at the parking lot.
"Zhou Huayang, what the hell are you doing? It's already six o'clock, why don't you come?"
"He should be here. He replied to me this afternoon." Zhang Qingyue's eyes turned cold, "He wants us to wait for him. He really doesn't know how to behave. It's useless for me to even think about giving him a hand."
"Hmph, how about we board the ship directly instead of waiting for him."
"I think it's okay. If you embarrass him a little, he will either turn around and go back, or he will shamelessly call Brother Zhang and ask you to take him up." Huang Hao and Lin Yixian looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Qingyue's eyes lit up, "That's fine."
A group of four people just arrived at the stairs and checked the invitation letter with the waiter.
The middle-aged man in a tuxedo glanced at the four of them strangely, and then looked at the invitation. There seemed to be something wrong, which made him confused.
But soon, he closed the invitation, took the lead to get out of the way, and said, "Sir, please."
Zhang Qingyue frowned slightly, the looks from these people made him feel a little uncomfortable, it was very much like the look he looked at the roadside sanitation workers with disdain.
"An ordinary invitation letter brings four people? Where did you come from, a country bumpkin? Have you never attended a cocktail party? The Jiang family really invites all kinds of cats and dogs, tsk tsk... it's a bit of a shame."
"Indeed, it's okay to bring a girlfriend, but also bring a family with you."
"The Jiang family's invitations are also divided into different levels... Forget it, they can only stay at the open-air reception on the deck and join in the fun. They won't get in the way."
"It should also be an excellent opportunity for them. If they make friends with some powerful people or rich women, it will be a leap of faith."
Several whispers came from behind.
Behind him, a group of gorgeously dressed and noble men and women looked at Zhang Qingyue and the others with a bit of disdain in their eyes.
The looks from other nearby guests were equally strange.
At this moment, Zhang Qingyue's face was filled with embarrassment. He had already asked about it, and at the same time, there was no limit on the number of people in the invitation... Such a large cruise ship reception, and a reception hosted by a wealthy family, there was no shortage of them.
I thought about showing off, but now I realized that I was totally wrong.
The four of them looked embarrassed, but Zhang Qingyue ignored them, buried his head, and quickly boarded the ship.
When they arrived on the deck, the expressions of the other three people were very complicated. All the joy and pride were washed away by the contempt of the rich second generation.
Zhang Qingyue suppressed his displeasure and raised his eyes to scan the environment on the deck. It was very open and immersive, and he could even more appreciate the luxury and grandeur of this cruise ship.
It is said that there are fourteen restaurants, swimming pools, basketball courts, casinos, etc. on this cruise ship. Basically, all imaginable entertainment activities can be satisfied on the ship.
"Brother Zhang, I just heard about it... It seems that this invitation letter is special. We can't enter the Jiang family's full moon reception inside, so we can only stay on the deck." Huang Hao came over with a sneer, holding two glasses of cocktails.
They also understood now that Zhang Qingyue had caused quite a stir.
"But... didn't Mr. Jiang send someone the invitation letter?" Xu Yinmei pursed her lips in grievance.
