The party was held at the Jinkaidi Hotel and was divided into two parts: dinner and party. Hu Hou originally decided to hold the event in the government auditorium, as he did not want to give the public an impression of extravagance and waste, but Shentu Tianyin proposed that the Vientiane Group pay all the expenses. Shentu Tianyin had to give her face, so the venue of the party was set at the Jinkaidi Hotel. And this hotel happens to be an industry under the Wanxiang Group, which is equivalent to Shentu Tianyin inviting important people on the ground in Haizhu to gather together for free.
The budget for the party is one million. Xia Lei thought long and hard about handing out a bonus, and was even lectured by the "housekeeper" Liang Siyao, but she spent a million to treat someone to a meal and chat. This level of difference is not even a little bit different.
Hu Hou told Xia Lei on the way here.
Entering the restaurant, Xia Lei said: "Mayor Hu, I'm already very sorry that you came to pick me up in person. You must be very busy at today's party, so you don't need to greet me. You can go and do your business."
Hu Hou said humbly: "I do have a lot of things to do, so I won't accompany you. I'll come find you later when I'm done."
After Hu Hou left, Xia Lei found a seat in a corner and sat down, quietly observing the situation in the restaurant. There were already many guests in the restaurant, all of them well-dressed and elegant. Some were sitting silently, while others were chatting in low voices. There were hundreds of guests in this huge restaurant, but overall it seemed very quiet.
After a rough look, Xia Lei's eyes stopped in the direction of the temporary speaking platform. He saw Shentu Tianyin and Gu Kewen sitting next to Shentu Tianyin. Shentu Tianyin wore a black off-shoulder dress, her black hair was tied into a bud shape, and she had a purple silk flower in her hairband. She was simple, elegant, cool and noble. Gu Kewen beside her was wearing a red low-cut evening dress and a precious necklace set with more than a dozen diamonds around her neck. The diamonds sparkled under the light, as well as the large area of snow-white tender skin under the diamond necklace and the deep V-shaped groove. Her sexiness was completely different from Shentu Tianyin's sexiness. Gu Kewen is like a rose blooming in the royal garden, while Shentu Tianyin is like a tulip blooming at the foot of the iceberg and beside the gurgling stream.
Shentu Tianyin and Gu Kewen were women of the same level, but they were completely different women. In terms of appearance and temperament, Shentu Tianyin is three points better than Gu Kewen, but in terms of feminine taste, Shentu Tianyin is two points weaker than Gu Kewen. Shentu Tianyin is charming and sexy.
Seeing Shentu Tianyin again, Xia Lei felt a little strange. When he saw Shentu Tianyin before, he couldn't help but feel a little bit like pursuing her and being with her, but this time he didn't feel like this. feeling. He sighed at her peerless beauty, but at the same time he felt that she was cold and unapproachable.
At this time, a young man in a white suit walked up to Shentu Tianyin and Gu Kewen, and then sat on the other side of Shentu Tianyin. Shentu Tianyin did not resent his actions and even greeted the young man.
This young man is tall, handsome, and has a beauty and temperament that is not inferior to that of a top Korean male star. Such a man, let alone appearing on such an occasion, would have a large number of fans even if he set up a stall selling pork in the vegetable market.
Who is he? Xia Lei's heart moved, his left eye twitched slightly, and he locked onto the three people sitting in the same direction. Just at this moment, Gu Kewen said hello to the young man.
"Brother, why are you here at this time?" Gu Kewen had a sweet smile on his face.
This sentence was completely interpreted by Xia Lei using lip reading skills, and he suddenly knew the identity of this young man, Gu Kewu.
Gu Kewu smiled faintly, "Do you think I am as free as you? The company has something to deal with, so I'm late. If I knew Tianyin was here, I would have left the matter to be dealt with tomorrow."
This sentence sounded very nice, but Shentu Tianyin just listened without even a polite smile.
"By the way Tianyin, I'm currently setting up a charity fund to care for left-behind children. Are you interested in participating?" Gu Kewu didn't mind Shentu Tianyin's indifference. He seemed to have many topics that attracted Shentu Tianyin.
As if because of Gu Kewu's face, Shentu Tianyin said: "Thank you, but our Wanxiang Group has our own charity fund, and we will also care about the problem of left-behind children."
Gu Kewu just smiled faintly. Shentu Tianyin was so cold to him, but he didn't look unhappy at all.
"Brother, why are you talking about business again? Sister Tianyin has been busy all day, and she definitely wants to relax now. Didn't you deliberately make her unhappy?" Gu Kewen winked at Gu Kewu , she seemed to be teaching her brother how to please the iceberg beauty Shentu Tianyin.
Gu Kewu understood, and he chuckled, "I'm really sorry, I really don't understand the thoughts of your ancients. But I will learn."
Xia Lei's back was numb and he felt a little nauseous. With Gu Kewu's wealth, status and appearance, there will be less women around him, and he doesn't quite understand women's thoughts? In this case, it was okay to deceive a teenage girl, but deceiving Shentu Tianyin seemed a bit childish.
The Gu family was born in the underworld and made a fortune in the underworld. How could the people of the Gu family not have blood on their bodies? Gu Kewen is already very cunning and vicious, let alone Gu Kewu, the future head of the Gu family. What kind of person would he be? Xia Lei's heart was filled with speculation.
Shentu Tianyin said calmly: "Kewen, for a man like your brother, women who want to get close to him would have to queue up for several kilometers, right? You have to keep a close eye on him, otherwise he will find a sister-in-law who treats you badly. "
Gu Kewen smiled and said: "Sister Tianyin, I have already chosen someone, but you don't know it."
Shentu Tianyin seemed to know who she was talking about, and she frowned slightly.
At this time, an old man walked into the restaurant from the passage of the work area, took a look, and then walked towards Shentu Tianyin.
Xia Lei recognized it at a glance. It was Fu Chuanfu, the old butler of the Shentu family. At this moment, Shentu Tianyin's gaze moved over inadvertently, and happened to meet Xia Lei's gaze. Shentu Tianyin was stunned for a moment, but did not look away from her.
Xia Lei smiled politely. He was too far away, so he didn't bother to say hello.
Shentu Tianyin didn't react at all, just stared at Xia Lei.
Fu Chuanfu walked up to Shentu Tianyin, leaned into her ear, and whispered something. He said it with his mouth covered. Xia Lei couldn't see his lips, so he couldn't interpret his words.
Shentu Tianyin nodded, then raised his finger and pointed at Xia Lei.
Fu Chuanfu glanced at it and then walked towards Xia Lei.
Xia Lei screamed trouble in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he greeted Fu Chuanfu politely when he approached, "Mr. Fu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so energetic."
"Thank you." Fu Chuanfu was also very polite, "My lady, please come and sit down."
Xia Lei hesitated for a moment and declined politely: "Thank you Miss Shentu for your kindness, but I still won't go. I'm fine here."
Fu Chuanfu's brows suddenly frowned, "Mr. Xia, you are the fifth person my lady has invited this year. Don't you even give me this face?"
Xia Lei, "..."
"Please." Fu Chuanfu made another more respectful gesture of bending down to greet him.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, stood up and walked towards Shentu Tianyin. He was not pretending, he just didn’t want to sit at the same table with Gu Kewen and Gu Kewen. However, he didn't bother to explain this reason to the butler of the Shentu family.
Gu Kewen also saw Xia Lei. She had a smile on her face, but when she saw Xia Lei, the smile on her face disappeared. A pair of bright big eyes also quietly flashed a sinister look.
Gu Kewu's eyes also fell on Xia Lei. His reaction was completely different from Gu Kewen's. He always maintained a friendly smile on his face. Before Xia Lei said hello to him, he nodded to Xia Lei and said hello.
Based on Yuedong Sports' patent incident, it is impossible for Gu Kewu not to know Xia Lei's identity, but he was not involved in that incident. Therefore, it gave people the feeling that he did not know Xia Lei as a person, and he seemed to have a good impression of Xia Lei without any ill intentions.
However, the more Gu Kewu behaves like this, the more Xia Lei feels that he hides his secrets and is a very dangerous person who hides his sword behind his smile.
Shentu Tianyin said aloud: "Mr. Xia, please sit down."
"Thank you, hello." Xia Lei greeted politely, and then sat across from the three of them, far away from each other.
"Mr. Xia? Oh!" Gu Kewu said with a smile: "I remembered that a great young entrepreneur came out of our Haizhu City recently, named Xia Lei. I guess it's you?"
He clearly knows and even knows the basics, but yet he behaves like this. This Gu Kewu is really unpredictable.
Xia Lei nodded, "It's just a small business, it's a joke."
"Let's get to know each other and make friends." Gu Kewu stood up and stretched out his hand.
Xia Lei also stood up and shook hands with Gu Kewu, "Hello, hello, it's my honor to meet you... May I ask your surname?"
Xia Lei also needs to pretend.
"My surname is Gu, Gu Kewu." Gu Kewu said with a smile.
The two men shook hands and each sat down. Then there is no unnecessary word.
Only then did Gu Kewen speak out, "Brother, don't underestimate this Mr. Xia, he is a powerful person. Six months ago, he was just a wage earner working on a construction site, but in just half a year , he already owns his own company. Last time, I almost lost to him."
Xia Lei's success can be described as a miracle, and he is indeed very powerful, worthy of anyone's exaggeration. However, Gu Kewen's words are superficially praising Xia Lei's power, but they are laced with a hint of contempt and ridicule - he is a wage earner. A guy from a small private enterprise deserves to have dinner with the chairman of Vientiane Group and the two young masters of Northern Group
Xia Lei didn't react to such innuendo, but Shentu Tianyin frowned slightly, "Kewen, I don't agree with what you said. Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty was just an idle farmer back then. He became the emperor. Our Shentu family and your Gu family were just ordinary families at first. Our current situation can be regarded as thanks to the reform and opening up, right? At that time, our fathers could do anything as long as they had a little business acumen. Big and strong, but times are different now. Mr. Xia was able to start from scratch and reach this level in just half a year. I dare say that there is no one in the country who can compare with him."
Xia Lei felt very comfortable hearing these words. He smiled and said, "Thank you."
Gu Kewen chuckled and said, "Sister Tianyin, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously."
ps: Brother Bajian and Brother Shuanghua love each other very much, and we can only repay them by working hard!
