At half past seven in the evening. +,
The city of Yanjing is brightly lit and busy with traffic. A modern metropolitan scene. Xiao Zheng was driving his BMW, carrying Lin Huayin, the co-driver, in the long traffic.
The birthday party starts at eight o'clock, and everyone is seated at eight-thirty. Although he was stuck at the intersection, Xiao Zheng was completely confident that he would arrive at the hotel before eight o'clock.
The venue for the birthday banquet was a rare six-star hotel in Yanjing. It's called Huamao International Hotel. The main investor behind the scenes is Lin Chaotian. For his beloved wife's fiftieth birthday, he booked the hotel's largest banquet hall and the entire tenth floor as guest rooms.
According to rumors, the guests invited this time are either rich or noble, with net worths ranging from tens of billions to hundreds of billions. The billionaires who dominate the local area and are definitely rich and powerful have really no presence at tonight's birthday party. Wouldn't it be a great honor to be invited by Yanjing giant Lin Chaotian
Even if you are just a walk-on, you can win over people from all parties, maybe connect the world and negotiate a few deals
Ding ding ding.
Xiao Zheng, who was bored and waiting for the red light, suddenly received a call. Taking a look at the caller ID, it was Lin Xiaozhu.
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, answered the phone and said, "Xiaozhu, are you here? We are on the way. We will be there soon."
"Don't mention it!" Lin Xiaozhu said angrily on the other side of the phone. "The flight was delayed. I just wasted more than an hour due to connecting problems, and now I'm about to get on the plane. Brother-in-law, don't wait for me to arrive and just drink it down!"
Xiao Zheng grinned and said, "Don't worry. It's just my drinking capacity, brother-in-law. Even if everyone in the room is drunk, I won't be drunk."
"Brother-in-law is mighty!" Lin Xiaozhu said with a beaming smile. "Wait until I come back and fight you for three hundred rounds!"
"It's a deal." Xiao Zheng smiled and hung up the phone. He looked back at Lin Huayin, who had an unfriendly expression. "Xiaozhu was delayed, I guess he will arrive later."
Lin Huayin said calmly: "I heard it."
Xiao Zheng pressed his face against Lin Huayin's butt, who was sulking. He shrank his neck, turned off the music and concentrated on driving.
Seven or eight o'clock in the evening is the peak traffic period in Yanjing. Not to mention motor vehicles, even electric bicycles can be jammed to death. Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry, drove slowly, and finally arrived at Huamao at a quarter past eight.
After parking the car, Xiao Zheng raised his head and glanced at the majestic and domineering luxury hotel. He clicked his tongue and said in surprise: "My father-in-law is really rich."
"If you don't do charity, you can build a hotel next door if you save for a few years." Lin Huayin said expressionlessly.
"You can't say that." Xiao Zheng straightened the leader's tie and said with a profound expression on his face. "I have done charity. Now my spiritual world is filled with skyscrapers, and it is so full that it overflows."
Lin Huayin just said it casually, but he did not exclude Xiao Zheng from supporting the Dragon Group. On the contrary, no matter how much money Xiao Zheng has to spend, he will do something. As long as it doesn't touch her bottom line or violate her principles, she will support him without hesitation even if he loses everything.
After walking through the red carpet, Xiao Zheng and his wife arrived at the hotel lobby, which was taken over by the birthday party organizer. Before the two of them could cross the lobby and enter the elevator. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather tie quickly came forward and said to Xiao Zheng in an affable manner: "Sir, could you please show me your invitation letter?"
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he still had a smile on his face. Chong Lin Huayin pursed his lips and said: "Invitation letter."
Lin Huayin took out the invitation letter from her handbag and handed it to the lobby manager.
The lobby manager was not very careful and scanned it very casually. Then he handed the invitation letter back to Lin Huayin.
This is a very skillful action, and it is not something ordinary people can achieve. First, the lobby manager must confirm the authenticity of the invitation letter. After all, the guests attending tonight's birthday party are either rich or noble. If unnecessary suspects are mixed in, how will he explain to the big boss? Secondly, he couldn't check too carefully, so as not to hurt the guests' self-esteem and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, the lobby manager must do his or her homework when checking each invitation letter. First, you can't offend anyone, and second, you can't let the fish slip through the net. It can be described as hard work, but it can also be described as an important hurdle. A heavy responsibility.
"No problem." The lobby manager smiled slightly. Just when Xiao Zheng was about to step into the elevator, he heard that the lobby manager was not aggressive, but very covertly stopped in front of Xiao Zheng, using an almost humble tone. Said: "Sir, where is yours?"
"Um?"
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, quite puzzled.
But Lin Huayin knew exactly what the lobby manager meant. But the clearer she became, the more difficult it became for her to control the emotions that had been pent up for several days.
Where is Xiao Zheng's invitation letter
He didn't at all!
But tonight's birthday party requires an invitation letter to enter. One ticket per person, relatives and friends are not allowed.
Such rules are not uncommon in the upper class. Even among small bosses in many small cities, this set of unkind rules is becoming more and more popular. But at the same time, it is also a means to avoid trouble as much as possible. Maybe it's a bit crude, but it works.
Xiao Zheng is not someone who has never seen the world. He knows that when entering such a high-class occasion, invitations are inevitable. But what he didn't expect was that even though Lin Huayin took out the invitation letter, he still couldn't dispel the lobby manager's wariness, and instead stubbornly blocked his way. Keep asking for invitations.
I don't know if the lobby manager could guess Xiao Zheng's mood. He just explained very tactfully: "Sir, tonight's birthday banquet is a private banquet. Every guest needs to hold an invitation letter when entering or leaving. Please understand."
This is not the lobby manager's personal rule, but the rule set by the big boss behind him, Lin Huayin. His attitude will be as tactful and reserved as possible, but his confidence is strong enough.
No matter how distinguished the guests are, who can be greater than Lin Chaotian
The lobby manager basically confirmed that Xiao Zheng did not have an invitation letter and was just clinging to the top beauty in an attempt to get through.
The lobby manager has already kicked away at least ten people who fished in troubled waters like this tonight. Some people even drive away the invited guests because of the bad attitude of the person holding the invitation letter. Very tough attitude.
What he said just now was to explain the rules of the birthday party to Xiao Zheng. Erm—there is also a certain hint, or an eviction order.
Without an invitation, you cannot enter.
So, you figure it out yourself
Just when the atmosphere gradually became solemn, Lin Huayin, expressionless, handed over the invitation letter she held in her hand again, and said in a cold tone: "Read it again."
