Chen Xiao's life began to become fulfilling.
I go to school every day during the day, and in the afternoon I go to Lao Tian to practice Kung Fu in the unfinished street. I go home at night, talk to Yaya about life and ideals, and try my best to teach Yaya all kinds of worldly common sense in this society.
What’s gratifying is that Yaya’s cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently!
At the beginning, Yaya simply believed that she could become a master in the kitchen by memorizing a "Home Cookbook". It's a pity... Chen Xiao used a "seven-level system" evaluation in the supernatural world: Yaya's endorsement ability is S-level (a "Home Cookbook" with nearly two hundred pages, Yaya only used less than twenty I finished memorizing it in minutes.), but... Yaya's hands-on ability is the lowest E-level! !
It seems that there is still a huge gap between theory and practice!
The first time Yaya made it was a piece of egg fried rice, which still makes Chen Xiao laugh and cry when she recalls it.
Uh... In fact, Chen Xiao is not very picky anymore. As far as egg fried rice is concerned, he can tolerate it if the rice is just raw or if there are eggshells in the eggs.
It's just that...a portion of egg fried rice actually gave Yaya the "taste of life"! This is really shocking.
The so-called "taste of life" is: all the ups and downs!
Fortunately, after days of unremitting practice, Yaya's level has finally been greatly improved to that of a normal person. At least the fried rice can satisfy your hunger without causing stomach discomfort.
Plus, you won’t break the dishes when you wash them.
Of course, for this adaptation process, the three spare sets of bowls at Chen Xiao's home have basically been exhausted.
After learning that Yayao had become Chen Xiao's royal maid in Chen Xiao's home, sister Zhu Rong, one of the three unscrupulous bosses in Lanwei Street, couldn't help but sigh:
"Chen Xiao, do you know that a blue-blooded person has a research value of more than hundreds of millions of dollars to any bioengineering research institution in the world! Yet you leave her at home to cook and wash for you? plate… "
…
Half a month passed in such a careless manner. Everything in the school was as before. At first, Chen Xiao was worried that Young Master Ma would take revenge afterwards, but later this kid actually applied to transfer to another school. I heard that he had made a public outcry that day, and several students with background backgrounds in the school expressed that they wanted to teach him a lesson. Moreover, they heard that his younger brother’s foot was injured, and the famous underworld figure in K City, "Little Red Robe", He almost brought up a machete and started a fight with the gangsters in Ma Dashao's house!
Young Master Ma left Kidd in despair. It is said that his family spent a huge sum of money to send him abroad for gold plating.
After Lu Xiaoxiao practiced the breathing exercises taught by Chen Xiao, his kung fu has not improved at all. However, it is said that these days, he eats well and sleeps soundly. Even his skin is much fairer, and the light color on his lips is The hair on the hair is also gradually fading. The only side effect is: eating and sleeping are too harmonious, and there is a slight trend of weight gain.
To use an advertising slogan: "You're in great shape, you eat deliciously, and you can climb up to the fifth floor in one breath... Well, basically with Lu Xiaoxiao's family background, she has no chance to climb up to the fifth floor. I heard that Lu Bancheng's own behavior The mansion has only four floors and a dedicated elevator.
Time has quickly entered June, and the semester at Kidd College is coming to an end, and we will face a long summer vacation. Most Kidd Academy students are planning exciting vacations: Skiing in Switzerland? Heading to a South American beach vacation? Went to Milan to see the summer fashion shows…
Snapped!
While Chen Xiao was dazed, an invitation was dropped on the table in front of him. Chen Xiao looked up and saw Second Master Xu with a sly smile on his face: "Are you free tomorrow night?"
When I opened the invitation, it seemed like it was some kind of night banquet for a wealthy family. Chen Xiao was a little uninterested: "This kind of occasion is not suitable for me."
"Just go with me." Xu Ershao sighed: "This time, a European consortium came to invest in K City. The local wealthy family held a welcome banquet for this European consortium. The old man told me to go, after all He also expects me to inherit his career in the future. You know that I don’t like this kind of occasion. If you don’t accompany me, I’m afraid it won’t be interesting for me to be alone.”
Chen Xiao glanced at him: "Come on! The last time there was a banquet, you tricked me into being your companion. As a result, you spent the whole night chasing the beautiful girls at the banquet, but I sat alone for two hours. "
Xu Ershao smiled and said: "I remember that a woman seemed to strike up a conversation with you last time, right?"
Chen Xiao's eyes burned when he mentioned this matter - it was a day a few months ago when he was tricked by Xu Ershao into accompanying him to a banquet. As a result, Xu Ershao shamelessly left him and ran away that night. I was trying to pick up girls, so I sat aside all night. During this period, some women did come to strike up a conversation - but those rich women all regarded me as a pretty boy! Some even come up and directly ask, "How many wallets per month?"
Seeing that Chen Xiao did not agree, Second Young Master Xu touched his chin and smiled slyly: "Lu Xiaoxiao will also go. Her father is one of the initiators of this banquet."
Upon hearing that Lu Xiaoxiao was also going, Chen Xiao fell silent. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded.
After all, after the business is completed, he will also receive a dividend of 100,000. Now the family of two relies solely on themselves for their livelihood.
Seeing that Chen Xiao agreed, Second Young Master Xu smiled bitterly: "You nodded as soon as Lu Xiaoxiao left - I said you won't really like this 'Four Eyebrows Lu Xiaofeng'. Brother, it's in such bad taste." . I think Miss Baicai is 10,000 times cuter than her."
…
The next night, Chen Xiao and Xu Ershao attended the banquet of this wealthy circle.
It has to be said that even when attending such an occasion, Chen Xiao's dress is very deceptive: although the dress is rented, after all, Chen Xiao was rich when she was a child, and she will not lose her composure in such a luxurious scene.
In fact, Chen Xiao also understood Mr. Xu's intention of always inviting him to such occasions.
My family is now in decline. Although I went to a famous school like Kidd, I am different from other students in the school. After graduation, others have rich wealth and backgrounds. Some directly inherit the family business, and even some are willing to start their own business. , there are also families providing funds and paving roads.
I am considered as a poor person.
However, Chen Xiao has a stubborn temper. If Mr. Xu offered to give him money or any direct help, Chen Xiao would definitely not be willing to accept it given his character. So Xu Ershao came up with this roundabout way - to participate more in such high-society occasions, hoping that Chen Xiao could create more relationships of his own in such occasions. After all, where rich people gather, there are more opportunities.
This banquet was not held in a five-star hotel, but in a luxurious private small hotel. In fact, generally speaking, this kind of private luxury hotel is far more luxurious than ordinary star-rated hotels - the latter is for the public, while the former is truly dedicated to serving the rich.
This hotel is located in the northern suburbs of K city. It is built against the mountains. The main building is the work of the world's top designers. There are four floors of the hotel's main building. Each floor has been designed with setbacks, making the space between each floor All have luxurious oversized terraces. The distant mountain scenery and the hotel's garden view are perfectly integrated.
It goes without saying that the banquet hall is luxurious. Chen Xiao and Xu Ershao drove here. Waiters were waiting politely at the entrance of the banquet hall. There was no red carpet or three steps, one post and five steps. Nouveau riche style.
The standard for true upper-class service should be: attentive everywhere, but at the same time as invisible as possible. That is to say, when you need it, someone will serve you with just a greeting. No one will bother you when you don't need it.
That kind of behavior with a large group of people behind them, shouting and supporting each other, is actually inferior.
Chen Xiao followed Second Young Master Xu into the venue. First, he followed Second Young Master Xu to meet his father, the head of Xu's enterprise.
Xu Ershao's father has known his son's best friend for a long time, and he also knows Chen Xiao's life experience very well. The old man is very well-educated and has no snobbery. Every time he comes into contact with Chen Xiao, he will not show any mercy or disdain. He is extremely proficient in social skills and seems to treat Chen Xiao purely as a junior.
However, this tycoon Xu still has a good impression of Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao's family was in decline and his parents were dead. Such a young boy could actually survive on his own. Moreover, in a place like Kidd College, he was looked down upon but could live in peace. This mentality made him appreciate it very much. . He also once said to his son: This son's magnanimity will definitely make him great in the future! Although your family background is worse than his, you are not as good as him.
Therefore, the old man still strongly supports Xu Ershao and Chen Xiao being friends.
When I met Old Man Xu today, he happened to be chatting with a few friends around him. One of them was Lu Bancheng and Lu Chengzhe, one of the two richest men in K City alongside Old Man Xu.
Lu Bancheng naturally recognized Chen Xiao, and was slightly startled when he saw him here, but he did not show it and stood quietly aside, just quietly giving Chen Xiao a friendly smile.
"Since you're here, have a good time, and I'll introduce you to some elders later." Old man Xu smiled at Chen Xiao cordially, and when he turned to look at his son, his eyes widened: "You! Stop hanging around girls and be more honest tonight!"
When Xu Er saw his old man, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He laughed dryly and did not dare to speak.
Old Man Xu was the leading local tycoon, so he naturally didn't have much time to talk to the two little guys. He only said hello and went to chat with other distinguished guests. Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and took Second Young Master Xu to the side silently.
He actually didn't like this kind of place, although he was moved by Xu Ershao's intentions. But... in fact, he understood very well that in this place, although all these rich people behaved politely on the surface, they were all arrogant in their bones. It's not that they don't know how to be humble - but this kind of humility will only be revealed in front of people who are richer than themselves.
This society is very realistic: millionaires will be very humble towards multi-millionaires, and multi-millionaires will be very humble towards billionaires.
As for Chen Xiao... who is he
In the previous banquets, Xu Ershao tried his best to introduce his friends to some tycoons of uncles and uncles. However, after the other party asked Chen Xiao clearly about Chen Xiao's background and that he was not a child of a wealthy family, his face remained expressionless. He was polite, but all that was left was false politeness.
Even if there are people who are willing to talk to Chen Xiao occasionally, they are mostly young rich men who regard Chen Xiao as Xu Ershao's follower. These people believe that Chen Xiao is Xu Ershao's horse boy, and hope to use Chen Xiao to climb up the ranks of Xu Ershao, the future heir of the Xu family.
Since he knew it was a waste of time, Chen Xiao simply played the role of "follower". Xu Ershao stayed honest for a few minutes. Seeing his father leave, he immediately became active. After grabbing a glass of wine, he began to patrol the place looking for prey.
There are naturally a lot of female guests here tonight, including many girls from well-off and wealthy families - this is the fundamental reason why Mr. Xu is willing to attend such an occasion.
Chen Xiao honestly found a sofa around the banquet hall and sat down, sipping a glass of expensive red wine worth who knows how much.
Finally, when the clock hands reached eight o'clock in the evening, the important guest of the banquet arrived.
The side door of the banquet hall opened wide, and Xu Ershao, his father, and Lu Bancheng walked out together with a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes. The three of them seemed to be chatting and laughing very harmoniously. Chen Xiao could see that the middle-aged white man had a very elegant demeanor. He was brought up in the real upper class society. His attire was not luxurious at all, but was very solemn and decent. . It may seem like a very simple piece of clothing, but anyone who knows the art can see that it must be of great value - a person with oily hair, pink face, and ten or eight gold rings on his fingers is unlikely to appear on such an occasion.
This was a commercial banquet. As the guest of honor tonight, the middle-aged white man quickly walked up to the front to give a speech of thanks, brought a glass of wine, and said some seemingly sincere but high-sounding polite words in a very pleasant baritone. , during which he vaguely revealed some good prospects for investing in K city—that’s probably it.
Chen Xiao sat on the outskirts a little bored, drinking lazily, and then looked at the time - well, let's go back before ten o'clock. Although I told you to go to bed early, if you don't go back, this little girl will probably still be stupid. Just sleep on the sofa and wait for yourself.
While he was lost in thought, Chen Xiao's eyes glanced around him unintentionally. Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed!
As if without any warning, Chen Xiao suddenly felt his heart sink! An almost instinctive premonition of danger suddenly made his heart beat faster!
This feeling came suddenly, but it was so strong!
Chen Xiao almost jumped up, but as soon as he stood up, he heard an exclamation from in front of him!
"ah!!!"
Looking up, the middle-aged white man standing above, holding a wine glass and delivering a speech, suddenly succumbed without warning and fell down!
Before the exclamations of the people around him ended, they heard two bangs. Lu Bancheng and Xu Ershao's father on both sides closed their eyes at the same time and fell to the ground!
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and their experienced followers immediately surrounded them, quickly separated the crowd, and then quickly checked the three of them.
Xu Ershao was also stunned. He was the first to rush to his father's side, but the old man's eyes were closed tightly, and a faint black air quickly covered his face!
