Gu Qiuyi did not expect that Chen Zhaozhong would be interested in the charity dinner. Without any hesitation, she said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, if you are interested, come with us tonight."
Chen Zhaozhong nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, you won't cause trouble to Miss Gu, will you?"
Gu Qiuyi shook her head and said: "How could it be possible? They invited me to be a guest, so they have to give me face no matter what."
Chen Zhaozhong sighed: "That's good... To be honest, the last time I attended a charity dinner was when I was in my twenties. When I was in Hong Kong thirty years ago, I have never attended such a charity dinner since I came to the United States.
Such an occasion, today is just the right time to go see the world."
Ye Chen had no doubts about Chen Zhaozhong's words.
Moreover, he had not asked Gu Qiuyi carefully about the details of this auction, so he did not feel anything strange. In terms of detail sensitivity, he was much inferior to Chen Zhaozhong.
After dinner, Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi simply stayed in Chen Zhaozhong's small restaurant.
The three of them chatted a lot on the second floor, and Ye Chen heard a lot about his parents from Chen Zhaozhong.
However, Chen Zhaozhong did not know the secret behind the murder of Ye Chen's parents.
Six pm.
A series of crisp footsteps came, and Chen Duoduo, wearing a professional suit, ran up to the second floor of the restaurant.
As soon as she came up, she said to Gu Qiuyi: "Qiuyi, Mr. Ye, it's almost time for us to set off."
Gu Qiuyi nodded and said to Chen Zhaozhong: "Uncle Zhong, let's go."
Chen Zhaozhong smiled and said: "Wait for me, I'll go downstairs to change clothes."
Below the roast goose shop, there is a semi-basement, which is also Chen Zhaozhong’s home for more than 20 years.
Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi waited on the first floor for a while. Not long after, Chen Zhaozhong, who had changed into a black suit, walked up from below.
Although Chen Zhaozhong is in his fifties, he is tall and thin and has a bookish look on his face. Therefore, after changing into a suit, he looks very capable and a bit chic.
This also made Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if his father was still alive, he would be like Chen Zhaozhong.
Later, Ye Chen, Gu Qiuyi, and Chen Zhaozhong took the security company's bulletproof Cadillac and went with the motorcade to the venue of tonight's charity dinner, the New York Palace Hotel.
At the same time, in the Imperial Hotel, eight Iga ninjas led by Hattori Kazuo had changed into waiters' costumes and started pretending to be busy behind the scenes in the banquet hall.
Due to the shortage of manpower today, the person in charge, Chen Fu, hired 20 temporary workers to help, and moved the experienced employees to the front to serve customers. Those with no experience stayed in the back to do odd jobs.
This is also a common routine in hotels, so no one feels there is anything wrong.
At half past six, Gu Qiuyi's motorcade drove into the Wangfu Hotel, and then the motorcade was guided through the passage by the staff.
The VIP channel is at the rear of the banquet hall, which is not open to other guests, so it can better protect the privacy of VIPs.
After the convoy came to a stop, the American bodyguard in charge of driving said to Chen Duoduo, who was in the co-pilot: "Ms. Chen, please wait in the car for a moment. We need to get out of the car first to confirm safety."
Chen Duoduo nodded, and then, more than 20 bodyguards wearing bulletproof vests came out from several cars in front and behind.
This group of people is indeed very professional in their field. As soon as they got off the bus, they immediately blocked both ends of the convoy and conducted detailed safety inspections on the left and right sides.
