Lu Chen definitely didn't have the power of foresight. He knew in advance that he would encounter unexpected events when attending this charity dinner.
Liang Zhihao jumped out to find trouble for him. Although it was very inexplicable, it also made Lu Chen realize a mistake he had made. That is, before going to the banquet, he should learn more about it, such as what the rules of the banquet are or what needs to be paid attention to.
place, came directly.
Of course he definitely brought his checkbook, he thought it would be enough to bring the money.
And this is obviously not the case.
Seeing Lu Chen stunned, Liang Zhihao showed an expression like "I knew it would be like this" and laughed loudly: "Haha, you are indeed from the mainland, no wonder you don't know the rules here."
"Let me tell you, at Sister Jing's charity dinner, all the auction items were sold together with everyone's support."
His laughter was particularly harsh and attracted the attention of many other guests.
Liang Zhihao obviously wanted to make Lu Chen embarrassed!
Lu Chen was okay, but Shu Jing could hardly bear it any longer, and her pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Shu Jing has always had a good temper, but Liang Zhihao was jumping up and down to make things difficult for the guests she invited. Wasn't this a loss of face for her?
There are already dozens of guests in the hall.
As a result, before Shu Jing could speak, Liang Jiaxing scolded her first: "Zhihao, you can't be so rude. You're from the mainland and you're talking about it. We are all guests of Miss Shu Jing. Why are you making trouble here!"
Liang Zhihao was in awe of his uncle, shrank his head and said nothing.
Liang Jiaxing said apologetically to Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. My nephew has a naughty character and doesn't follow the rules. Please don't take offense."
His attitude was sincere and impeccable, but Lu Chen felt something was wrong, especially the word "rules" in his words sounded particularly harsh.
Old fox!
Lu Chen cursed secretly in his heart, but looked calm on the surface, as if he had no grudges at all.
He smiled and said: "Boss Liang is serious, do as the Romans do when you are in the country. Since the rules in Xiangjiang are like this, then I should abide by them. I have to thank my nephew for the reminder."
Lu Chen turned to Li Zhen who was following him and said, "Take my business card and a pen."
Li Zhen saw everything that happened just now, and she felt anxious and guilty in her heart.
Tonight was Lu Chen's first appearance in Hong Kong's upper-class social circle, and it was also the beginning of his entry into the local entertainment industry. For such an important matter, as an assistant secretary, she actually forgot to tell Lu Chen the rules of the charity dinner.
This kind of charity dinner initiated by celebrities usually invites friends in the circle or high-level figures in the social circle to attend, and those invited to the party will donate an item, such as a watch, a calligraphy and painting
, a bunch of jewelry, or even an unused designer bag will do.
At that time, the auction items will take turns on the market. You can take the items back by yourself, or you can compete with others for the items you like. However, under normal circumstances, the auction price will not be raised very high. In fact, it is a kind of social game.
Li Zhen has attended two charity banquets with others before, so she knows this very well.
This is where she failed in her duty.
Li Zhen was still thinking about how to make up for it, but Lu Chen actually asked her to get her business card and pen.
"Well"
She agreed blankly and hurriedly took out Lu Chen's business card and signature pen from her bag.
Lu Chen's business card was just made today.
So what is Lu Chen doing with his business card now? He couldn't give one to Liang Jiaxing, right?
That would really be a joke!
However, Lu Chen didn't mean this at all. He took the business card and signature pen from Li Zhen's hand, wrote a few words on the north side of the business card, and then handed it to Shu Jing.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Sister Jing, this is my charity auction tonight."
Shu Jing took it without knowing why. She glanced at the business card. She was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "This is definitely the most special auction tonight, Lu Chen, thank you."
!”
Lu Chen nodded gracefully and said, "Sister Jing, you're welcome."
The two of them sang together, and the uncle and nephew Liang Jiaxing and Liang Zhihao next to them were extremely curious.
They didn't know what Lu Chen was selling. He could take out a business card and write a few words on it and it could be used as an auction item, and it was highly recognized by Shu Jing.
But the two of them couldn't take the business card away from Shu Jing's hand to see what was going on. Liang Jiaxing was still acting normally, but Liang Zhihao's wandering eyes were a bit ridiculous.
Shu Jing was very annoyed with the uncle and nephew, and even regretted giving them an invitation letter. She put away Lu Chen's business card and said to Lu Chen with a smile: "It's your first time to come to Xiangjiang. I just want to introduce you to a few people here."
Be a friend."
Lu Chen couldn't get what he wanted: "That's really troublesome, Sister Jing."
Shu Jing then said to the Liang family's uncle and nephew: "You two can help yourself, I can only excuse you for the time being."
The two of them could only pretend to smile, say it was okay, and leave angrily.
Shu Jing breathed a sigh of relief after getting rid of the uncle and nephew of the Liang family. She whispered to Lu Chen: "I'm really sorry. Mr. Liang may have some thoughts about me, but I don't consider emotional issues right now."
Lu Chen suddenly nodded to express his understanding.
No wonder Liang Jiaxing is so smiling that he dares to think that he is a competitor.
And Liang Zhihao's attitude is a bit thought-provoking.
In this rich kid, Lu Chen finally saw the stale sense of superiority and rejection of outsiders that some people in Hong Kong's upper class had.
In the past few decades, the development speed of the mainland has far exceeded that of Xiangjiang. It is no longer synonymous with poverty and backwardness. The living standards of international metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are no worse than those of Xiangjiang, and even in some aspects
And wins.
However, some people in Hong Kong cannot see this or have ignored this intentionally or unintentionally. They are still immersed in the glory of the past and have not faced up to the huge and irreplaceable impact of the mainland market and resources on Hong Kong's works. They have clung to a closed circle, resulting in many problems.
Development in this area lags behind the times.
Xiangjiang’s once brilliant film and television industry is one of the best examples.
What made Lu Chen even more interesting was that Shu Jing actually told him so straightforwardly, as if she was confiding her troubles to a real friend.
This attitude of trust has undoubtedly shortened the distance between the two parties.
Under Shu Jing's introduction, Lu Chen met many high-level figures in the local circle. Some of them were CEOs of film and television companies, some were editors-in-chief of entertainment newspapers and magazines, and several celebrities and artists, etc.
Except for the little accident just now, he made his debut in the Hong Kong social circle, which was a good start.
