The cocktail parties in Independent State are no different from those in Beijing.
They all provide an occasion for people present to socialize and entertain.
Qiao Nian was taken by Nie Mi and Master Cheng to meet a group of people. After the whole process, she had changed three different drinks in her glass.
Finally, Qiao Nian met the last person, and Nie Mi took her to meet up with Master Cheng and the others.
On the way back, Nie Mi placed the wine glass on the tray of a passing waiter, then turned around and said to the nonchalant girl, "Nian Nian, do you remember the people I just introduced you to?"
Qiao Nian nodded with a casual look in his eyes: "Yeah."
Seeing Nie Mi's serious expression, she remained silent for another half second, then placed the goblet in her hand on the waiter's tray, clapped her hands, and put them in her pockets: "Remember."
"Okay. Just remember it!" Nie Mi has always been confident in her, with a far-sighted look in his eyes: "Those people just now are all from the Independent Continent. They may be able to help you in the future. With them around, you can at least get in touch with the Independent Continent."
Qiao Nian raised her eyelids, her dark eyes were clear and bright. She said nothing, tacitly acknowledging Nie Mi's good intentions: "I know."
"I know you know more than me, but it's hard to get in touch with people in the Independent Continent. If I have this chance, I still want to take you to meet more people. If you have the opportunity to get in touch with this circle in the future, you won't be so unfamiliar with everyone..." Nie Mi talked on and on.
Qiao Nian basically listened to him honestly.
She was dressed in black and wearing a cap, looking cold and cool, and she stood out in this high-end cocktail party! It was a pity that Qiao Nian pulled the brim of her hat down low, half of her face was hidden in the shadows, and her aura was too noticeable.
"correct."
Nie Mi was halfway through his walk, almost walking back to Master Cheng, Jiang Zongjin and the others, when he suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and turned his head to the girl beside him and said, "There will be an auction after the reception, you can take a look and see if there is anything you want to buy."
Qiao Nian has been bored ever since he came in and has no interest in anything.
It wasn't until Nie Mi mentioned the auction that she raised her eyebrows and showed some interest: "Auction?"
"Yeah." Nie Mi smiled: "This is a major feature of the Independent Continent cocktail party! They will arrange an auction in the second half of the party. The items sold are usually the collections of the organizers behind the cocktail party. Sometimes there will be unexpected good things."
"Well."
"You don't like weird things, you can take a look later, there might be something that interests you in it!"
Qiao Nian didn't know if there would be anything that would interest her later, but the auction that Nie Mi suddenly mentioned still piqued her interest.
…
On the other side, almost at the same time.
A scarred man walked into the cocktail party with an invitation in hand. He did not try to make connections like the others.
Instead, he found an inconspicuous corner, took a glass of water, leaned against the wall, and looked around.
"Brother Xi, that Torre is over there." The companion he brought in was the first to spot the target and nodded at him.
"Don't be so obvious, be careful not to get discovered." Mo Xi warned, his eyes seemingly casually looking in the direction his companion pointed.
He didn't see Torre.
Halfway through, I was attracted by the girl's tall and slender back.
The other party's aura is too unique.
He recognized at a glance that it was the person he had met in the hotel lobby two days ago.
