Before 18:00, the banquet hall of Wanhai Hotel welcomed the guests tonight.
The banquet is scheduled to officially start at 18:30, and exquisite fruit plates have been placed on each table arranged in the hall. The waiters also stood respectfully on both sides, smiling and greeting every guest who stepped on the cotton woven blanket.
Wanhai is one of the famous star-rated hotels nearby. Usually, most of the wedding banquets and business banquets are received in the banquet hall. However, no matter which occasion, most of the guests are suits and leather shoes, and they are dressed very grandly. It's really rare to wear such a variety of bells and whistles today.
After a young waiter led a few guests to their seats, he couldn't help being curious, and quietly pulled a colleague in the corner, "Hey, do you know which company ordered tonight? Why are you still wearing swimming trunks? of?"
The colleague looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he lowered his voice and said, "Who knows, I've heard some people say something, you can be careful not to take advantage of it later." He raised his eyebrows and said with disdain before saying, "It should be just a small company, come to our hotel and put on a show, it looks very rude."
The manager on duty glanced over, and the two of them didn't dare to continue whispering, and went their own way.
When Tang Yi walked out of the VIP room with Zhou Weiwei in his arms, what he saw was a messy scene. Zhou Hao followed one step behind him, and when he saw this, he lightly supported his shoulder and whispered, "I have already arranged your position beside me. Do you want to come directly or wait a while?"
Zhou Hao's flight was delayed by 20 minutes. After he arrived at the airport, he let the driver drive all the way to the hotel, which reduced the error by a half, making their late arrival time stuck within a quarter of an hour.
The seasoned and steady driver has never been so crazy since his thirteenth year. Today, he was forced by the boss to give up his decades of courage and drive a C-series car on the road. I don’t know how much anger is here. The prince who is driving a sports car on a leisurely vacation. However, the old driver was also quite enjoyable. Seeing Tang Yi coming down to pick up the boss, he did not forget to boast.
Tang Yi looked at the man with a calm expression and stepped out of the car, and suddenly he was in a trance for a moment.
He could understand Zhou Hao's intentions even if he didn't try to figure it out. Among them, he was the only one who had to worry about the entry time. Tang Yi said "I'll be waiting for him" with some respect to his boss, after all, Zhou Hao ordered it first.
But after his words, Zhou Hao's reaction did not look like a strict and noble boss should have.
There are some inexplicable meanings.
--
Zhou Hao lowered his head slightly and whispered in Tang Yi's ear, as if a feather brushed his auricle lightly.
Tang Yi froze, changed Zhou Weiwei in his arms and hugged him, raised his head and pointed at Ning Zeyu, who was waving at him, and said with a smile, "I'll wait a moment, go and talk to Manager Ning first. "
Zhou Hao followed his line of sight and saw that Ning Zeyu's arm twitched when he saw him, smiled and nodded as a greeting, then turned and walked away.
Before Shen Fan came, the people who were seated took advantage of this time to find someone they knew to chat. Seeing Tang Yi coming over, Ning Zeyu patted his chest and let out a small breath.
"Tang Yi, was that President Zhou just now?"
Tang Yi nodded, the black-rimmed glasses made the bridge of his nose a little uncomfortable, so he pinched his nose and said with a smile, "Let's have a toast later?"
Ning Zeyu likes to drink, and he can drink a lot. The work of the marketing department is like a duck to water for him, and it is impossible to be happy. However, every time this guy drinks, he always likes to attack Tang Yi first. Although Tang Yi does not lose to him, he does suffer a lot.
Tang Yi didn't know why, so he naturally took Zhou Hao and made a joke.
Seeing the constipated expression on Ning Zeyu's face, he suddenly felt that it was quite a pleasant thing to pretend to be a tiger.
Sure enough, Ning Zeyu laughed dryly, and reluctantly came over to continue the fight, "What's the point of respecting these bosses, each of them is expensive, who can drink it openly? It's the two of us tonight, okay?"
Tang Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and Zhou Weiwei responded angrily, "Okay! If you don't drink it, it's a puppy!"
"Hey!" Ning Zeyu was startled by him, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately poked Zhou Weiwei's little face with bad intentions, "Return the puppy, whoever admits defeat tonight is the grandson!"
He didn't ask Tang Yi who the child was. At first, he forgot to ask, but later he thought the child was very interesting, so he patronized and teased the child and forgot.
Seeing that Zhou Weiwei was actually dressed in a small dress, he bumped Tang Yi with his arm out of curiosity, "Whose family is this child?"
"Boss Zhou's family." Tang Yi said with a smile, "It's the one with the precious belly you said."
Ning Zeyu: "..."
Zhou Weiwei answered happily, "Yes, you said my father dare not drink it!"
Ning Zeyu hurriedly coughed twice to explain, "How can I have it?"
Zhou Weiwei puffed out his cheeks and glanced suspiciously at Ning Zeyu. When the latter touched his nose and turned his head in embarrassment, he mysteriously leaned into Tang Yi's ear and whispered, "Actually, Susu is right..."
Tang Yi: "..."
There was a commotion at the entrance. Tang Yi turned his head and saw a young man walking into the venue surrounded by a few people. He immediately changed the subject with a smile on Ning Zeyu, "Sit down, I'll go there first."
Zhou Hao had already reserved two spots next to him. Tang Yi placed Zhou Weiwei in place, and then turned to look at the young man who was walking slowly.
The young man is Shen Fan, with a very upright face and a smile that looks like a good student who is going to the podium to get the three-good certificate.
Shen Fan was wearing a formal suit, and even the cufflinks and tie clips were meticulously matched.
There was a brief silence in the hall. Some people saw that Shen Fan's clothes had a bad intuition, and their expressions suddenly changed. There are also some, but it is just a casual glance.
Shen Fan, unaware of the various eyes around him, walked all the way from the entrance, not forgetting to nod slightly to the people on both sides. When he reached Zhou Hao's table, he stopped a little.
"Tang Yi," Shen Fan suddenly smiled and waved at Tang Yi, "Long time no see."
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment. Zhou Hao, who was behind him, had already stood up and politely extended his hand, "Mr. Shen is good."
"Mr. Zhou," Shen Fan leaned forward slightly and reached out to shake it back, "Why don't I have a table at Mr. Zhou's place."
Shen Fan said that he would sit down when he sat down, without giving anyone a chance to put his beak.
According to the original procedure, there was a 30-minute small ceremony before the banquet. The host finished the opening remarks, and Shen Fan and several other leaders gave speeches. The banquet was officially started. Then the waiters in the restaurant department started serving the cold dishes in order.
At this moment, Shen Fan not only didn't take his seat, but instead sat down against Tang Yi, and many people around him suddenly looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
Shen Fan's assistant just waited while looking at the nose, nose, nose and heart, and didn't mean to explain.
After a while, the person in charge of the banquet arrangement came over and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, after the host has finished reading the opening remarks, you have to go over and speak." The person in charge pointed to the place where Shen Fan should be. , "That's your position."
Tang Yi frowned when he heard it, and couldn't help but look over.
Shen Fan glanced at the podium thoughtfully. The host was wearing a light pink dress and was smiling at the corner to greet the people below.
"Oh, let her change her clothes." Shen Fan glanced at it, then looked away.
The host, who was pouting just now, was stunned when he suddenly received such a notice. She didn't bring any other dresses, anyway, she knew that it was just to walk around happily. But Shen Fan is a serious boss no matter what, the boss is not happy at this moment, and she doesn't dare to say anything, so she can only temporarily borrow a set from the hotel.
The host changed into a dark green dress, drooping the corners of his mouth and detoured from the dressing room to the stage again.
When the person in charge came over this time, he was careful, and even his tone softened consciously, "Mr. Shen, what do you think?"
Without raising his head, Shen Fan spit out a word, "Change."
Everyone: "… "
Tang Yi watched from the side and saw that the host had changed into six or seven sets of clothes, and in the end the makeup on his face could not be hung up. The people at the venue finally noticed something was wrong. The host was a pretty little girl. She went to the dressing room to change clothes like a drying rack on the stage. Shen Fan glanced at it from the beginning to the end. Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will not die, but also peel off three layers of skin.
Without saying anything, just picking clothes, the meaning of this can't be more obvious.
So some smart people took advantage of this gap, went back anxiously and changed their suits, and then slipped back carefully. Looking up at the new director again, there was also a faint fear in the eyes.
These people naturally know what to wear to the party, and they are all prepared. Unfortunately, the hints given above were too biased, and even Ning Zeyu only remembered the hot spring fish spa after the meal. Later, when they saw someone dressed casually and carefree, everyone thought of not blaming the law, and they also wandered behind.
Then this one was slapped to death by Shen Fan coldly.
The host changed into six or seven sets of clothes, and Shen Fan just sat indifferently throughout the whole process, not even a single glance. The person in charge knew that this matter was inseparable from him, and in his heart he scolded the rumor that Shen Fan was a good person, while the two warring sides bent over and waited for the next chapter.
Fortunately, the latter finally relaxed after a while, "Let's start!"
The banquet finally went on smoothly according to the original process. Apart from the eerily quietness of the audience when Shen Fan spoke, the two bosses he personally named went up to make a mid-year summary, which was a little lively.
After the drinks came, the atmosphere quickly became lively. Between the staggering, everyone seemed to finally be relieved from the depressed atmosphere, and the food and drinks were very lively.
Shen Fan sat next to Tang Yi, but he only played Tai Chi with a few directors other than Zhou Hao.
Most of the time, other people at the table are diligently looking for topics, and Shen Fan raised his eyes and responded very rarely.
Zhou Hao lowered his eyes and closed his eyes as his own twenty-four filial father, and concentrated on serving Zhou Weiwei. Tang Yi sat in a group of people who did not match his identity, and had no chance to interject, so in addition to occasionally echoing and smiling, he also focused his energy on Zhou Weiwei.
Zhou Weiwei eats very well, whether it's Tang Yi's dish or Zhou Hao's soup, he swallows it obediently. However, Big Eyes would still sneak up to Shen Fan from time to time and glance at him timidly.
After three rounds of drinking, there was soon an old director who was dissatisfied with Shen Fan's arrogant attitude and angered Tang Yi who should not have been sitting here.
"Whose child is this..." The man was sitting opposite Tang Yi, looking up and down with a mocking expression, "Why don't I remember that the company has such a new director? Now, have a second son come out?"
Shen Fan drank the soup for a while, and suddenly smiled inexplicably.
Tang Yizheng turned his head to look at the tear mole on his face, and was moved by this smile, and he always felt like he had seen it somewhere.
On the other hand, Zhou Hao took the words calmly.
"This is from my family." Zhou Hao lowered his eyes, took out a thorn from Zhou Weiwei's small bowl, and said slowly, "But today is really not the occasion for introduction. To eat fish... you have to pick the thorn first."
In the gilded light, Zhou Hao's tough profile is highlighted with a metallic texture, which is cold and strict. The old director was so excited that he realized that Zhou Hao and Tang Yi were feeding a child together. The relationship between the two should be much warmer than Shen Fan's "long time no see" just now.
Zhou Hao was about the same age as Shen Fan, but in the eyes of everyone, he was much more terrifying than Shen Fan. After all, he has become the second largest shareholder of ER a few years ago. Every time other directors make any propositions, Zhou Hao has never been tepid, neither supporting nor opposing, completely letting them toss. look.
However, in hindsight, he did not benefit at all, and completely reaps the benefits of the fisherman.
He was so good at calculating, but no one dared to say a word. Two years ago, there was a director who had a good relationship with Zhou Hao. In the latter's office, he saw a magazine with a popular star as the cover, so Fuzhi sent the star to Zhou's house. At that time, the board of directors was changing, and this person's actions were understandable. At most, it was to ensure that Zhou Hao's vote was foolproof.
Who knew that after Zhou Hao found out, he completely expelled the director from the board of directors without saying a word. Several people in the head office who were related to this matter, from the downstairs front desk from Zhou Hao's secretary department, were all permanently expelled from the ER, and within three generations of their immediate family members, there was no possibility of serving in the ER.
It is said that a considerable part of ER's employee regulations and company articles of association were revised by Zhou Hao. Originally, everyone was quite disdainful of regulations such as credit value and blood relatives, and thought it was just a fancy trick. After waiting for this incident, everyone realized that this statute is more than useful.
It is simply the February cut of the nepotism within the company, which gently kills the invisible.
Just as everyone has decided that the old man is always a mild gnocchi, Zhou Hao's image of the cold-noodled king has become more and more popular in the past few years. Such a ruthless, ruthless man, obviously much stronger than Shen Fan's deterrent.
Tang Yi sighed silently in his heart, knowing that Zhou Hao's words would definitely damage Shen Fan's face.
He hesitated for a while, but he could only pick up the glass from the table, and smiled at Shen Fan and said, "Mr. Shen, President Zhou and I toast you."
Shen Fan didn't drink a drop of wine all night, and Tang Yi didn't plan that he would drink it. He raised the glass and planned to drink it all. When the wine reached his lips, he felt his wrist tighten, and Shen Fan had already stopped him.
"You respect, of course I drink it." Shen Fan's voice was low and slow, with a deep sigh, "We will not return if we are not drunk."
