"Okay, we are free." Seeing Huang Zhixiong leave, Lu Weiwei felt relieved.
"Then let's find a place to sit down first." Gu Chen turned around, looked around, pointed to a corner and said, "Can you think of that side? It's closer to the side, and it won't cause any trouble for their real estate industry. Let's be quiet.
Just eat."
"Just what I wanted." Lu Weiwei rubbed her hands and walked over impatiently.
It was not yet 12 o'clock, and although many people came to the scene, the seats in the huge living room were only three-fifths full.
Most people were walking among the crowd, handing out business cards and so on.
The most diligent developers are the developers at the bottom of the industry. They come here just to take advantage of the gathering of industry leaders to send out their business cards and establish a relationship with large developers, who may be able to appreciate them in the future.
Eat food.
It is well known to everyone that the real estate development industry is in a slump nowadays.
At this time, if your scale is small and you don’t know how to impress others and gain popularity in front of big developers, you will probably just stay at home and wait to die.
The same is true for industry reshuffle...
Looking at the sour inspirational banner in the front row, Gu Chen knew clearly that it was meant to tell everyone that the industry was difficult and everyone had to tighten their belts to survive the cold winter.
And those big guys who sit in the front row and only need to constantly accept flattery from others should be the top people in the industry.
These people control many resources in the industry and have the most abundant land reserves for development.
Therefore, it is up to you to take the lead in choosing which developers to cooperate with.
If small developers have excellent quality and are willing to advance capital, many large developers will get a share of the pie out of respect for their reputation.
An industry cocktail party shows all kinds of things in the world.
The people sitting in the first two rows of banquets are all big guys who can influence the development of the industry, and guests who come to flatter them have to queue up.
"Are these all the real estate developers in Jiangnan City?" Gu Chen had some doubts.
The young man sitting at the same banquet said: "That's not entirely true. Only some developers come to the industry reception every year. After all, this is a stage to show your connections and strength."
"If you do well within a year, you will naturally be willing to attend this kind of cocktail party. If your performance within a year is poor, or even close to collapse, many people will simply not come."
"Of course, some of the people who come here are here to build connections. After all, this kind of industry exchange reception is actually led by a few big guys."
"That's the people at the door, right?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Absolutely." The young man said: "These people all have to go on stage to speak. After all, they live in Jiangnan City and are doing well."
"However, there was also a person who did well last year and spoke on stage, but this year he failed and his performance dropped seriously, so he made excuses not to come this year."
Listening to the young man's story, Officer Wang suddenly wondered: "You know this industry so well, what do you do? Are you also a real estate developer?"
The man immediately smiled and said: "I'm not a developer, I'm just a gardener in the park. I asked the manager of Moore Manor for a ticket to come here to eat and drink."
Seeing that he was so frank, Gu Chen couldn't help but said: "You are really open-minded. How can you be so direct when you are eating and drinking here?"
"Aren't you the same?" The man looked at Gu Chen and the other three, and immediately smiled and said, "Actually, judging from your temperament, you don't look like a developer."
"But I'm very strange. Just now I saw a big developer sitting in the front row coming to say hello to you. Why is that? Are you his relatives?"
Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang, and everyone suddenly laughed.
"Yes, we are his friends, and we are here to eat and drink." Lu Weiwei showed her cards directly and stopped pretending.
The man smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. In addition to developers, there are also some people from the literary and artistic circles, as well as people from new social classes. Anyway, there are a lot of people who come to eat and drink. Every year, this banquet is not full."
"For the rest that haven't come, people from Moore Manor will come over to eat at the empty wine tables. It's a welfare anyway."
"Haha, it seems you are familiar with these things." Gu Chen was also attracted by this young man.
"My name is Ari, what about you?" The young man named Ari stretched out his hand and asked Gu Chen.
"Gu Chen." Gu Chen shook hands with him.
"Lu Weiwei." Lu Weiwei also said.
"Just call me Lao Wang." Officer Wang also introduced himself.
"Looking at your extraordinary appearance and strong body, you must be some big boss's personal bodyguard, right?" Ari looked at the three of them and felt more and more that they looked alike.
Gu Chen nodded: "Absolutely."
Ari immediately put down the snacks in his hand, approached Gu Chen familiarly and said, "In addition to delicious food, there are also many performances here today. I heard that the big guys in the front row spent a lot of money to invite many domestic and foreign celebrities.
Art group.”
"Like violins, ballet pianos, etc., it's all art anyway. Let's eat and drink well here. If there are other speeches, just treat them as farts. They're all useless nonsense anyway."
"That's right." Gu Chen agreed very much with Ari's words. After all, only outsiders could see that this industry reception was actually a reception for the real estate development tycoons in the first two rows to prove their strength.
It's nothing more than spending money to prove one's status, giving speeches, etc. It's nothing more than making a name for oneself in the industry and showing off one's face.
Of course, the industry is reshuffling every year, and many developers, big and small, want to see who this year's pretentious boss will be, so they can find the right direction.
The reception started soon...
The first person to appear on the stage was the violin performance group. A burst of melodious music quickly made the atmosphere lively.
Many staff pushing dining carts began to distribute food to each table.
Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up when she saw the hairy crab in front of her, and she wanted to destroy it immediately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Elites and celebrities from all major industries also gathered together, everyone talked and laughed and had a good time.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were quickly infected by the warm atmosphere at the scene.
When a certain bald man suggested raising a glass, everyone stood up, raised their glasses and drank, having a great time.
Ari and Lu Weiwei can eat equally well. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would have thought that Ari escaped from somewhere.
Since everyone is here to eat and drink and not pay attention to the intersection of connections, there are only four people at this banquet table: Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Ari.
The banquet dishes on the table can be said to be enough to eat.
Ari held up the wine glass in one hand and the chicken drumstick in the other and said, "Come on, let's have a drink too."
"Okay." Gu Chen complied with his request, and then the four of them toasted to each other.
Ari was not satisfied with the drink until the end, so he directly picked up a bottle of wine and put it in his mouth to drink.
He was also afraid that Gu Chen and others would laugh at him, so Ari added: "You're welcome, no one knows us here anyway, this wine is expensive, and it's rare to drink it once. Anyway, the boss in the front row pays the bill, so let's blow it hard."
After saying that, Ari picked up the wine bottle and drank it directly as a drink.
It was a rare occasion for Officer Wang to relax, so he also opened a bottle and imitated A Rui's cool drinking style.
Lu Weiwei felt a little disgusted and looked at Gu Chen beside her and said, "Junior brother Gu, why do you only drink juice? You can also drink from a bottle? Do you want me to open it for you?"
"No need." Gu Chen also smiled and said, "I have to drive later. I don't drink much, so just drink."
"Hmm, this abalone is pretty good. I heard it's a cabbage price this year. Come on, let me grab a piece for you." Lu Weiwei suddenly became Gu Chen's dining assistant.
The meal continues, and so does the show.
It seems that the big guys in the front row have all agreed upon it. After every performance, one of the big guys in the front row comes on stage to show off.
First, he introduced who he was to everyone, and then told everyone what his company was called? What properties he had developed, and finally he said some things that I didn’t know were excerpted from Jack Ma’s quotations. Finally, he was applauded by everyone’s adulation.
End the conversation.
Of course, everyone's applause is not because those big guys said it well, but because they can look forward to the next program.
Since there were not many people on the menu, Lu Weiwei and Ari were full quickly.
Ari touched his bulging belly and couldn't help but burped loudly: "I have to go to the toilet, you guys eat first."
"Okay." Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei also said: "Then let me go to the toilet too. Junior Brother Gu, do you want to come with me?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "I'm not going, why don't you go with Senior Brother Wang."
Officer Wang stood up and said, "Let's go, Lu Weiwei."
The two left, and Gu Chen was still sitting there watching the show, very quiet.
People were coming and going, and everyone moved to the front.
Around the tables in the first two rows, from time to time, there were some people who were bowing their heads and toasting in flattery.
The industry bosses sitting in the front row were lighting cigarettes and giving guidance...
I don’t know how long it took before Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang returned to their seats and began to quietly enjoy the performance on the stage.
A few minutes later, Ari also came over with a loud burp. His cheeks were red now and he looked a little drunk.
Gu Chen poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
Ari said thank you and then turned his attention to the stage.
The performance was coming to an end soon, and many people began to shuttle back and forth between the dining table and the toilet.
At this moment, a woman suddenly came over shouting and gesturing to the security guard next to the stage.
Since the DJ was right next to her, what the woman said was instantly transmitted through the DJ's microphone throughout the entire venue.
"My diamond ring is missing. My diamond ring is missing. What should I do? What should I do?"
Originally, everyone was still chatting happily, but they were suddenly interrupted by this sentence.
At this moment, everyone raised their heads in shock and looked at the woman on the stage.
The tall and thin host was a little embarrassed and immediately walked over to understand the situation: "Ms. Liao, what is going on with you?"
"My diamond ring is missing." Ms. Liao stamped her feet anxiously.
Suddenly, the entire reception was in an uproar.
Lu Weiwei quickly touched Gu Chen's shoulder and said, "Isn't this the Ms. Liao you are talking about? She is the vice president of the Artists Association, right?"
Gu Chen also looked at it and said, "Yes, it's her."
"It seems she lost something." Officer Wang said.
Lu Weiwei was confused and despised: "Didn't they say that? The diamond ring was lost. Isn't it nonsense for you, Mr. Wang, to say this?"
Officer Wang also smiled: "Let's see and then talk."
Off the stage, a big boss in the front row smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "Ms. Liao, it's a big deal to lose your diamond ring. Just ask the staff of Moore Manor to help you look for it."
"That's not the case." Ms. Liao also found that she was too panicked and couldn't explain it for a while, so she directly grabbed the microphone from the host's hand and said:
"My diamond ring is expensive. It was a birthday gift from my husband. It weighs three carats, and it was made by a top European master..."
Ms. Liao said a lot, and everyone immediately started to panic.
You should know that although Ms. Liao is the vice president of the Artists Association, she actually has several other identities, one of which is the corporate legal person of a real estate development company.
For such a world-experienced woman to be so panicked, it seems that this diamond ring is indeed expensive, so everyone present was shocked.
A hotel manager from Moore Manor also hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Ms. Liao, where did you lose your diamond ring? We will send someone to help you find it immediately."
"It's so weird." Ms. Liao suddenly looked at the ground blankly.
"What?" The hotel manager was also stunned and quickly asked her: "Ms. Liao, what did you say?"
"It's so weird, your Moore Manor is so weird." Ms. Liao turned to look at the manager, and her whole body began to tremble.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that Ms. Liao was too panicked, the hotel manager then said: "Ms. Liao, can you calm down first? Please tell us what is going on.
ah?"
Many people below the stage were staring at her blankly, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Yes... that's it." Ms. Liao also tried hard to calm down, then picked up the phone and said puzzledly: "I usually don't drink much, but today I was happy, so I drank two more drinks, and found that I was a little dizzy.
, and several of my colleagues at the same table tried their best to toast."
"So I left with an excuse. In fact, I went to take a shower in the VIP room upstairs to try to wake myself up."
"But when I got to the guest room, I locked the door as soon as I entered. Then I put all the jewelry and diamond rings on the table, and then I went to the bathroom."
"But the strange thing is that after I took a shower, all the other jewelry was still there, but the diamond ring on the table was missing."
"ah?"
"Fuck!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Many people were stunned when they heard this.
Many people don't understand, is it possible to see ghosts in broad daylight?
The man in the front row who was smoking immediately put out his cigarette and quickly asked: "Did your door not be closed properly and someone came in and stole it?"
"No, I have a lock. I own a hotel at home. Of course I know how safe the door is after it is locked. No one will come in."
"And when I found that the diamond ring was the only one missing, the hotel door was still locked. This... this is so weird. Could it be that I saw a ghost?"
After hearing Ms. Liao's strange narration, many people were shocked and felt that the more they talked about it, the weirder it became.
Many people were whispering to each other, feeling a little incredible, even puzzled.
"Oh my god! How could such a situation happen?" After hearing Ms. Liao's story, Officer Wang frowned and turned to ask Ari, who was at the same table: "Arui, is your scenic spot so weird?"
"Yes." Lu Weiwei also said: "It's still noon. If it were at night, wouldn't it be scary to death?"
Ari was also stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Is this thief hiding in Ms. Liao's room?"
"No way?" Gu Chen also fell into deep thought and said after a moment: "Haven't you heard? The room is locked. If there is a thief hiding in the hotel room in advance, the surveillance of Moore Manor should be able to catch it."
"That makes sense." Lu Weiwei lifted her chin and nodded.
At this time, a middle-aged man at the next table interjected: "You don't know, right? The same thing happened once more than a month ago, and the incident took place in the VIP guest room of Moore Manor.
, what was lost was also a lady’s diamond ring.”
"But because the value of the diamond ring was not high, the lady who checked in at the time didn't pay much attention to it, so the matter passed in a blur."
Looking at the anxious Ms. Liao on the stage, the man at the next table was also puzzled and said: "It is really unexpected that something like this happened again today. It seems that this Moore Manor is really weird."
"Are you telling the truth?" Lu Weiwei suddenly widened her eyes, feeling that there must be something fishy here.
The man at the next table nodded: "That's for sure. The lady who stayed at Moore Manor last time was a friend of one of my clients. My client mentioned her in the circle of friends, and I even gave her a thumbs up."
Lu Weiwei also nodded and withdrew her gaze again. She turned to look at Gu Chen.
At this moment, Gu Chen, his eyes fixed on the stage, seemed to be embarrassed for the organizer.
What was supposed to be a good industry exchange reception turned out to be something like this.
And after hearing what the man at the next table said just now, Gu Chen even felt that there must be something fishy going on.
On the other hand, the hotel manager was also afraid of affecting the normal holding of the reception, so he called several security guards and prepared to accompany Ms. Liao to the room to investigate.
At this time, Gu Chen also stood up and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei also stood up immediately and said, "That's what I have in mind, Lao Wang, are you going?"
"Go, why don't you go?" Officer Wang also stood up and touched his bulging belly.
Then, under the leadership of the hotel manager and security, everyone went to Ms. Liao’s VIP room.
The hotel manager picked up a walkie-talkie and asked inside, then said to Ms. Liao: "The control room said that the monitoring of the corridor is normal. From the time you entered the room to the time you came out, no one came in."
"How...how could this happen?" Ms. Liao also said with shame: "Then...could it be possible that the thief who stole the diamond ring is still hiding in my room at this moment?"
Also taken aback by Ms. Liao's words, the hotel manager immediately said to the security guards: "Brothers, get your dick."
