Chapter 100 Banquet Encounter
In a room next to the hall below on the second floor, Wang Xiyi and a couple, and a handsome young man with a soft temperament are sitting in front of the coffee table near the window and talking.
"Xiyi, are these the two friends you mentioned? They don't seem to have attended the banquet. They are a little nervous!" The young man looked at Li Tianzong and Wang Xiyi at the door of the banquet hall, with a disdainful smile on the corners of his mouth.
Wang Xiyi frowned slightly. Something in the young man's voice made her feel very uncomfortable: "They are all children from ordinary people's families. They have never been to such a place. It's a little nervous and normal to go to such a place for the first time."
"Uncle Huo, auntie, my friends are coming. I'll go and say hello first," Wang Xiyi stood up unhappily and said lightly to the couple opposite.
The middle-aged man who is called Uncle Huo by Wang Xiyi is graceful. He is Huo Yuanwang, the new deputy secretary-general of the Shencheng government. He has nothing to blame Wang Xiyi's indifference, and his words are very polite and kind: "Xiyi, uncle believes in your vision. Since you are your friend, it must not be simple. Let's Why don't you wait for a while to see their performance?
With that, he raised his face again and said to the young man next to him, "Xuyang, Xiyi's friend is your friend. Remember to treat them well. Don't look down on people because of their ordinary origin."
"Yes, I know," the young man seemed to be very afraid of the middle-aged man and quickly agreed. The expression on his face was unconvinced, and obviously he did not take it to heart.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was also talking to her husband. Wang Xiyi had to sit down again and look at the banquet hall below without saying a word. She also wanted to see their performance, especially Li Tianzong's performance. She always felt that the boy was full of mystery and might see some information.
After entering the banquet hall, Zheng Xiaoxi unconsciously grabbed Li Tianzong's arm. The girl looked very nervous and at a loss.
Zheng Xiaoqian has always been a shy girl. When there are many people, she is a little at a loss. Today's occasion makes her even more nervous.
Fortunately, she has been singing in Langqiao these days. She has performed several times. She is not as shy as before. At least she hides it very well. It seems that she is just holding Li Tianzong's arm and cling to the boys next to her. Compared with those female guests in evening dresses and holding their male partners, she is also interesting and can't see anything wrong.
At the beginning, Li Tianzong was also a little nervous. After all, he had never been to such an occasion. The scene was grand and luxurious. Everyone here is a successful person in society. They would not have the troubles he had encountered in life. He spent hundreds of yuan to buy this dress. Here, it was like a rag. It looks extremely shabby.
Li Tianzong couldn't help but say an old saying in his heart - "The door is right". The circle to which these people belong is incompatible with the circle of his life. It's far away, just like fish and birds, and they can't get together at all.
It is only because of Wang Xiyi that they are connected, but obviously, there will not be too many intersections between him and these people.
Thinking of this, Li Tianzong suddenly became indifferent to the people in front of him and the environment in front of him. They came here just because they were friends with Wang Xiyi. As for other things, of course, they didn't have to care too much.
Li Tianzong has become the focus on and off campus these days. His psychological quality has also been tempered strong enough, and he soon became calm.
He reached out and patted the back of Zheng Xiaoqian's hand and smiled at the girl: "Xiaoqian, the people here are much less than 'good come again'. Let's eat casually first."
"Come again" is a popular cafeteria among students on the food street of Dongmen, Shenda. However, before dinner time, there are a lot of people, and sometimes they can only stand.
Seeing Li Tianzong's smile, Zheng Xiaoqian was relieved for no reason and responded with a smile. Although she smiled reluctantly, the tension in her heart was invisibly much weaker.
Li Tianzong asked Zheng Xiaoxi to pick up the plate at the long table, and picked up what they wanted to eat along the long table.
When Li Tianzong and the others came in, the waiter said, "The cold dinner has begun. Please have a meal." So he was not worried that he would be very rude.
He is not very familiar with this kind of Western-style cold meal etiquette, but he sees that someone is already eating with a dinner plate. Most people have a glass of red wine in their hands. I think there should be no problem.
The problem is that they really look like eating, a little like no one, and they quickly chose a bunch of delicious food, which surprised their guests.
"Li Tianzong?" When they passed several talking black suits, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted in surprise.
In the middle of Hou Xiaoqiang's call, he realized that something was wrong. He quickly stopped and his voice stopped abruptly.
However, his voice still attracted the attention of people around him. Everyone frowned slightly and looked at him unexpectedly. Following his stunned eyes, they saw Li Tianzong and Zheng Xiaoqian, who were holding a pile of food.
Let everyone look at it like this, Zheng Xiaoxi suddenly became nervous again, and her pretty face turned red.
Li Tianzong has been used to being watched recently, but there is no response. He just looks up slightly and soon sees the well-dressed Hou Xiaoqiang. This nominal roommate rarely appears in the dormitory. It is said that his family is Shencheng and he usually lives at home.
Li Tianzong was also surprised to see Hou Xiaoqiang here. The two usually had no contact, and even had some festivals, so he just nodded and turned around to continue to take some fruit salad. It is said that girls like this kind of thing.
Hou Xiaoqiang's father runs a business in Shencheng, which is also a small achievement. Of course, in Shencheng, there are many rich people and large enterprises. There is nothing unusual about the world's top 500. He did not have the opportunity to participate in such a banquet.
It's just that the owner of today's banquet, that is, Wang Xiyi's "Uncle Huo", the deputy mayor he served happens to be in charge of the work of small enterprises. He specially invited some representatives in this field, so that he has the opportunity to attend.
Hou Xiaoqiang followed his father to many similar dinners, but it was the first time at this level, and he was a little nervous. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused, he was suddenly a little flustered.
"Li Tianzong, why are you here?" Hou Xiaoqiang blurted out in a panic.
Hou Xiaoqiang's words immediately attracted more attention. When he was dressed, a young man next to him, who always raised his head, took two steps this way, looked up and down at Li Tianzong, and quickly turned his face, showing an expression of disgust.
"Do you know them?" The young man looked at Hou Xiaoqiang and raised his chin arrogantly.
Hou Xiaoqiang swallowed his saliva. He knew this young man, Fang Wenfeng, the son of the vice chairman of the Shencheng Federation of Industry and Commerce and the chairman of the Small and Medium Enterprises Association. It is said that he is rich and a famous person on the domestic wealth list.
At this banquet, Huo Yuanwang said casually and showed such a little mouth. He welcomed everyone to bring his descendants here. The reason was to get to know his son Huo Xuyang. In fact, he still hoped that Wang Xiyi could know more people. Compared with Wang Xiyi, even his son's importance would be much lower.
At Wang Xiyi's request, Huo Yuanwang did not say her identity, and even did not disclose that there would be such a person before. Even if he appeared, he would only appear as his old descendant, so Hou Xiaoqiang was very surprised to see Li Tianzong and Zheng Xiaoqian.
Being able to know the son of the new Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government with a deep background is naturally an opportunity not to be missed for the guests attending today's banquet, so there are many young people present.
Among these young people, some have known each other for a long time. After all, they are often in Shencheng and in the same circle. It is not uncommon to know each other. And Fang Wenfeng, among them, stands out from the crowd. His family background and background will win a lot, and he always looks proud.
Before, Hou Xiaoqiang wanted to talk to him, but Fang Wenfeng ignored it at all. Now when he took the initiative to ask questions, Hou Xiaoqiang immediately replied, "Yes... It's my classmate at Shenda University."
"Shen Da!" The contempt on Fang Wenfeng's face was even stronger: "Who did they come with?"
Hou Xiaoqiang shook his head: "I don't know. I remember they are all poor students in the class."
"Oh!" Fang Wenfeng turned his head and no longer covered up the disgusted expression on his face. Only when he saw Zheng Xiaoqian, his eyes couldn't help but light up. His greedy eyes flashed away, and then his face came coldly: "Are you in the wrong place? This is the banquet hall, not the canteen. What about the waiter?
