"What are they laughing at?"
A businessman in a top hat asked in the distance.
“Maybe business is good and you’re making a lot of money?”
Someone nearby answered.
"Then we must ask carefully when the time comes." The businessman glanced at the man who answered the question, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
Merchants have their own happiness, and warriors have their own happiness. Wealth is not the only kind of happiness in this world.
**********************
Time passed little by little, and finally it was twelve o'clock.
Haig was wearing a specially made blue suit with no sleeve on his left hand, but a floating lining similar to an espadrille.
This can minimize the left-right difference in the broken hand.
He walked quickly to the center of the hall, holding a glass goblet in his hand, and said loudly, "The party has begun," and then drank it all in one gulp. Immediately, the others around him also raised their glasses and looked up.
Some people stood beside the long table filled with food and symbolically took some food to eat. Many more people were too lazy to even be symbolic and just held their glasses of wine and chatted with people everywhere.
The main purpose of this banquet is not to eat enough.
It is a kind of communication between people.
It was visible to the naked eye that the 70 or 80 people at the banquet were divided into several circles. Some of them were older men, mostly the owners of factories and companies. They all gathered together to talk about business, and the atmosphere was somewhat formal and solemn.
Others were elegant ladies, all of whom were talking and laughing in low voices, covering their mouths. The topics of their conversations were mostly about anecdotes from the upper class or luxury goods.
The last circle was full of young people, both men and women. Most of them were of good temperament and good looks. They were talking and laughing, and occasionally there were exclamations and boasting.
On the other side, beside the long table, Moses and Kazheng were eating, each holding a fork and a plate, picking and choosing.
Moses took a big bite and gnawed off half of a juicy smoked pork leg. He chewed it with satisfaction and glanced at Kaxiu who was also gnawing on the leg next to him with appreciation.
At this time, Kaxiu seemed to feel his senior brother's gaze.
The two made eye contact and suddenly smiled at each other.
"Hey, you two gluttons, stop just eating and come over to help." Lan Xi, who was already annoyed by the questions, complained.
"We both have to be fed!" Moses looked up.
"Hmph, I can't kill you." Lan Xi was speechless.
Moses chuckled.
Kaxiu chewed a large piece of steak. He had always eaten in the cafeteria. Although the food tasted good, it was still inferior to the food at the banquet. His mouth was full of fat and felt a little greasy.
Kaxiu called a waiter and took a glass of wine from the tray to rinse his mouth. There were no less than a dozen waiters walking back and forth in the entire banquet venue, all of them were tall and handsome men.
They wore black and white uniforms, with a black elastic cuff tied to their white shirts. This thing can be used to adjust the length of the sleeves, just fix the cuff on the upper arm, and then pull up the shirt to adjust it to the right position.
Of course, you can also use it to help fix your sleeves when you roll them up. Many gentlemen wear cuffs on their arms in the summer.
"Mr. Levi, can I have a chat with you?"
Suddenly a soft and pleasant voice came from the left.
Kaxiu swallowed the wine in his mouth and turned to look.
There is no doubt that this is a beautiful girl. She is wearing a light red silk robe, which outlines her legs to be slender and straight. The waist of the robe seems to be deliberately gathered, making her waist look slender. Her face is delicate, and her eyes are subtle and charming.
Her hair was wine red and piled high, which made her neck and chest look even whiter, like floating ice on the sea.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Miu Xue Romero."
The girl smiled with a hint of self-confidence at the corners of her mouth.
Five minutes later, Miao Xue returned to her small circle with a frustrated look on her face. Some girls nearby curiously asked about the process.
"Don't mention it, I can only say that he is a unique man..."
Miao Xue murmured to herself: "A lonely and weird..."
Ten minutes passed, and one after another, the girls who came forward to try to talk were defeated. An elegant gentleman can always liven up the atmosphere when facing a lady, but unfortunately, Kaxiu is the opposite, and the most he can do is to make the atmosphere awkward.
"Mr. Levi, you are so tall!"
"Yes."
"Mr. Levi seems to like delicious food!"
"Yes."
"Mr. Levi must be very good at Kung Fu!"
"Um."
Shouldn't a normal person expand on their answer
For example, if someone compliments you on your height, the person who knows how to respond will simply show off his muscles and then start talking about how hard and diligently you worked out in the past. For example, if someone says you like to eat delicious food, then most likely the question is what kind of food you like to eat.
The question the girl asked was not a yes or no multiple-choice question, but a short-answer question that required a long paragraph to expand on.
But there is no need to say much about what kind of person Kaxiu is. This is just his style of doing things, and he is not willing to change it for irrelevant people.
No matter how many fancy words you say, they are not as good as a fist.
Gradually, no one gathered around Kaxiu. He was also happy to be free, eating spare ribs with Senior Brother Moses, who was very much to his liking. He watched Senior Brothers Heiger and Lanxi busying around and gloating over the misfortune of others.
Time passed little by little, and it was two or three in the afternoon.
As the music played by the band changed, the customary ballroom dance began. A group of luxuriously dressed men and women formed pairs to the melodious music, and the men usually gently hugged the edge of the women's left shoulder blade instead of the waist.
The lady puts her hands on the man's right shoulder, with her left arm touching the man's right arm and forming a whole, swaying left and right with the music.
"Junior brother, do you think your third senior brother's place looks like two women dancing?" On the sofa in the corner, the burly Moses, who was as big as a bear, was lying comfortably on the backrest and raised his eyebrows at Kaxiu.
Kaxiu, who was sitting nearby drinking, turned around and looked.
In the distance, Senior Brother Lan Xi was dancing with a girl, the girl had a pure and lovely face. But when the two were compared, it seemed that Senior Brother Lan Xi was more beautiful and delicate.
On the left, Brother Heiger was also dancing with a beautiful lady. Although he only had one hand, he danced properly, and his noble temperament was almost revealed.
"Senior Brother dances really well." Kaxiu exclaimed.
"Isn't it? Senior Brother Heige has a high level of comprehension and learns things very quickly. He can master it after practicing it once." Moses reached out and picked up a red cherry from the coffee table and threw it into his mouth.
Five minutes later, Kaxiu took a glass of wine and walked along the corner to the long table. He wanted to get some dessert from there.
On the way, a tall, thin middle-aged gentleman greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Levi, my name is Nigri, and I am the owner of Sunset Antiques Company. This is my business card, please accept it."
Kaxiu took the business card and suddenly thought of a question.
If he finds a legendary antique or an obsession antique in the past, can he absorb the obsession energy inside
