Chapter 66: The Family Banquet Begins
Jindu International Hotel, the only hotel in Yingzhou that has won the honor of a five-star hotel, is located in the hub of the center of Yingzhou. It is a more prosperous area than the University Town. If the University Town is rich, then This place is like an aristocrat, a place where the real rich and powerful gather. There are towering buildings near the hotel. There are many headquarters of well-known companies in South China and even China, banks, and various luxury brands.
The entire street is brightly lit and neon lights flashing, like a street that never sleeps.
This is the real gold-selling cave in Yingzhou.
Ye Tianxia got in a taxi and came outside the hotel. He saw rows of luxury cars, Aston Martin, Bentley Continental, and even a Bugatti. When he entered the magnificent reception hall, he saw Chinese style, Western style, Hong Kong style and so on. Japanese-style restaurants, Japanese cuisine, coffee shops, etc. In the reception hall, there is an endless stream of guests, predators in suits and leather shoes, rich women with jewels, sexy and exposed girls, a piece of clothing, a bag, and a piece of jewelry , all revealing the air of wealth and luxury.
Seeing Ye Tian walk in wearing casual clothes from a small street shop, many people looked at him suspiciously, and then smiled disdainfully. After telling the location, she made a phone call in disbelief, and after confirming, she took Ye Tian into the elevator to swipe her card.
Jindu Hotel has 20 floors, and each floor has different facilities. The first floor is mainly for catering facilities, the second and third floors are mainly sauna centers, nightclubs and KTV entertainment venues, and some floors also have Prada Like Louis Vuitton, the twelfth floor where Ye Tian goes is dedicated to holding large parties, press releases, dances and other events, and it is one of the floors with banquet halls.
Entering the main banquet hall named "Purple Gold Palace", there is already a crowd of people inside. Everyone looks graceful and luxurious, and they are all famous people in Yingzhou. They are gathering together to discuss the current financial trends, national policies, and a few words , In a few minutes, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of cooperation projects can be set.
Seeing Ye Tian approaching, the eyes of the entire banquet hall turned to him. Seeing this ordinary boy in cheap casual clothes, almost everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then showed disgusted and angry expressions.
"Who is this kid, and why did he come here!"
"It should be the child of the staff in the hotel. This hotel is too lax. How is it managed?"
Everyone saw that Ye Tian was someone from the bottom of the society. Standing with him was simply humiliating. Some people couldn't help scolding: "Boy, get out of here!"
This loud shout made the banquet hall quiet down, and everyone looked at Ye Tian with a trace of ridicule besides disgust.
Ye Tian's eyes were like knives, he looked at the man fiercely, and was about to speak, Tan Qiu came over in a hurry, wearing a navy blue half-sleeve evening dress, showing elegance and nobility, came to Ye Tian, and said happily: "Xiaotian, you are here!" Then he said to everyone: "Don't get me wrong, this is a friend of our Wang family."
After she finished saying this, everyone heard Wang Guangming, who had a cold face after seeing Ye Tian, snorted heavily.
On the other hand, Tan Qiushi liked Ye Tian very much and regarded her as half of her son. She originally strongly opposed to renouncing the marriage at this family banquet, but her daughter and her husband rejected Ye Tian very much, which made her feel miserable.
"Aunt Tan!" Ye Tian finally showed a smile when he saw her. After all, Tan Qiu was his benefactor. After exchanging pleasantries with Tan Qiu, Ye Tian sat alone in a corner with few people, stopped talking, and sighed deeply after seeing Tan Qiu.
After everyone saw it, they started talking about it.
"This is that Ye Tian!"
"Look at him, what he looks like, it doesn't matter what he wants, it's like a toad wants to eat swan meat."
"No wonder the Wang family wants to retire?"
"If you want me to kill you, you won't marry your daughter to such a person."
The wealthy people present were all talking about it, not only made Wang Guangming's face darker for a while, but even Wang Zihan who was sitting at the other table couldn't hold back his face, and wished he could get under the table.
"This Ye Tian, don't you think it's not enough to embarrass me?"
"How could our Wang family make friends with such a family?"
"Anyway, it's the last day. After tonight, I will have nothing to do with such a person from now on!"
Wang Zihan's face turned red, and he didn't even want to look at Ye Tian more.
"I didn't expect that Ye Tian would dare to come here!" Shang Rong who was sitting beside her said with a sneer.
Wang Zihan also invited a group of his friends, all of whom went to Tenglong Villa that time, except for Li Hui.
"He dares not come!" Wang Zihan heard this, and said contemptuously, "Didn't I tell you, don't take him seriously, he is just a poor boy from the county town, he can only pretend to be a tiger, just a paper tiger."
Everyone looked down on Ye Tian before, but after the matter of Tenglong Mountain Villa and Queen's Qingba, these rich second generations felt that they were a head shorter than him, but after hearing Wang Zihan's details about him, the trace of awe towards Ye Tian disappeared completely, and Shang Rong also He immediately regained his self-confidence, and dismissed Ye Tian. After all, his father's career is in full swing, and now he is a second-tier junior. People like Ye Tian will never reach his current height in this lifetime.
The banquet hall became lively again. After a while, Wang Guangming walked in front of the microphone on the stage of the banquet hall, and everyone fell silent.
The lights also softened, and Wang Guangming said with a reserved smile and a high-spirited face: "Everyone, today is my wife's birthday, thank you very much for the light, I can give Wang this face, I hope you have a happy night!"
After everyone listened, there was applause, and they all responded politely.
"Wang Dong is too polite."
"It's our honor to be able to attend Mrs. Wang Dong's birthday party!"
No wonder everyone is so polite. I heard that the Wang family recently hooked up with the Yue family to jointly operate a shipping project. Obviously, the Wang family's power will definitely go further, and they will be able to speak in the entire Yingzhou in the future.
The atmosphere was warm, and suddenly seven or eight people came in at the door, the leader was a man in his fifties, with a beard on his face, looking majestic and mighty, with an overwhelming evil spirit on his body, and he was dressed in a black suit. Extraordinarily cold.
Seeing this man, the whole hall was silent, no one dared to speak, only when the man came to them, they bowed down and called "Brother Yue" in a very respectful tone!
This man is Yue Shan's father——Yue Yuntian, who is known as the underground "Organization Minister" in Yingzhou, and is a big shot over Li Dong.
Yue Yuntian ignored everyone, as if they had no right to make him stop and respond.
When Wang Guangming saw it, his expression changed drastically, and he was flattered and rushed to greet him, with a smile on his face, he kept yelling: "Brother Yue, why are you here, don't let me know, so I can go to greet you."
Yue Yuntian nodded at him lightly, and said: "I accompanied Miss Ling'er, I heard that your wife is holding a birthday party today, so come over to toast."
After all, the two had a business relationship. Although Yue Yuntian didn't come here on purpose, it was just a coincidence, but this made Wang Guangming overjoyed, his mouth almost reached his ears, and he glanced at everyone proudly, as if saying, Look, Lian Yingzhou underground The "Ministry of Organization" gave me face and came over to toast.
"Brother Yue, you're going to beat me to death by saying that."
"If you want to toast, I will also toast to you!"
After he finished speaking, he drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp, and the rest of the people also raised their wine glasses one after another when they saw the opportunity. Tan Qiu even came over and thanked him repeatedly.
Yue Shan nodded and said he was here to toast, but he didn't even hold the glass, so he said hello to Tan Qiu, turned around and took the people away.
No one dared to be dissatisfied with such a big air, in their hearts, a person like Yue Shan should be like this, they only had fear in their eyes, facing Yue Shan's back, they said "Brother Yue, go well".
As soon as Yue Shan left, everyone immediately flattered Wang Guangming.
"Wang Dong, even Big Brother Yue is here, your face is too big in Yingzhou!"
"Yeah, those of us are beyond our reach!"
"Wang Dong, I need to take care of you in the future!"
These words greatly benefited Wang Guangming, who was sitting in Dama Jindao. Although he was polite, he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
Everyone flattered and took out the presents one after another. Obviously, they had been prepared for a long time. They said blessings one by one, and delivered the gifts to Tan Qiu.
These gifts are expensive at first glance, gold and silver jewellery, emeralds, famous watches and bags, brand-name cosmetics, each of which costs tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
After everyone finished delivering them, Shang Rong came to Wang Guangming and Tan Qiu holding two items with a smile on his face.
When Wang Guangming saw Shang Rong, he immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face. In his eyes, Shang Rong was his prospective son-in-law.
Everyone obviously knew that this banquet was Tan Qiu's birthday party on the ostensible side, but in fact they wanted to withdraw from the marriage. Now it seems that they still have the intention of accepting Shang Rong.
"Ha, Mr. Shang is going to bribe his father-in-law in advance?"
Someone was joking, and everyone burst into laughter. Even Wang Guangming looked at Shang Rong and laughed.
When Shang Rong heard what everyone said, he was really happy in his heart. He glanced at Ye Tian proudly, opened a jewelry box, and said, "Aunt Tan, this is a gift from me."
It was a green jadeite bracelet made of glass. After seeing this, someone exclaimed.
"My God, I've seen this bracelet in the South China Antique City, and the price tag is more than 800,000 yuan!"
Everyone was also very surprised. They didn't expect Shang Rong to send such a gift of nearly one million yuan, which is considered a big deal.
Tan Qiu was also obviously very surprised. He looked at Shang Rong with some excitement, and he had a little more affection for him. He nodded and accepted it happily.
The other one Shang Rong took was a suit, and he handed it to Wang Guangming, saying, "Uncle Wang, this is a suit I specially made for you in Italy, and we don't have it in China."
Italy has produced countless luxury brands. This custom-made suit may no longer be measured by money alone, but more importantly, by heart.
Tan Qiu and Wang Guangming were very pleased with this gift, and Wang Guangming even laughed out loud, saying in great relief, "Okay, okay, I'll give it a try now."
As he was talking, he actually went to the cloakroom of the banquet hall, changed quickly and walked out. The light blue suit was well cut. Wang Guangming looked ten years younger at the moment, and he laughed happily. Shang Rong praised him a lot.
At this moment, in the entire hall, only Ye Tian did not send a gift. Everyone knew the purpose of the Wang family's banquet, and at the same time cast gloating eyes on him.
"Boy, what gift did you prepare for Ms. Tan?" Someone asked jokingly.
