Outside the banquet hall.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, you two please come in."
The middle-level company manager under Xiao Ran said.
However, he didn't even mention a word about the famous director, two investors, and the beautiful star who were present, as if he hadn't seen it.
Looking at those few people, they were all stunned on the spot, with expressions of embarrassment.
With their status in the domestic entertainment industry, wherever they go they are not praised by others?
They have never seen such a scene before. This is so disrespectful!
Seeing their appearance, the two veteran celebrities were also a little embarrassed.
But they could do nothing but shake their heads helplessly, and then walked into the banquet hall to toast!
The moment the banquet hall door closed, the famous director and the two investors were completely embarrassed.
"Fuck! This is a bit too much. We are not even qualified to go in and toast to a drink."
The investor in his forties said through gritted teeth.
Fortunately, he knew that this was a public place and he had a certain status, so he didn't make a fuss.
He didn't want others to hear or see such embarrassing things.
"I'm very sorry, gentlemen, our boss has said that this is a private party and it is inconvenient to invite you in."
"When we have the opportunity to meet again in the future, he will have a few drinks with you all, and I ask the gentlemen to bear with me."
The middle-level manager of the company said politely.
Listening to what he said, what else could the famous director and the two investors say.
"Okay, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
The famous director nodded and said.
After saying that, he left here with a few friends.
In a moment, they arrived at the elevator.
After arriving here, Mr. Chen was still full of dissatisfaction.
"What's there? Aren't you just a nouveau riche? You really think you are some big shot, and you're making such a big show!"
While he was talking, another investor's cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone and glanced at Laixian, then walked aside to answer the phone.
The next moment, his expression suddenly changed and became very solemn.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately walked over.
Seeing his performance, everyone at the scene was a little surprised.
"What happened? Lao Wang, you look so ugly?"
the famous director asked curiously.
Lao Wang looked at him, then at Mr. Chen, and then whispered:
"My driver just called. That guy is a retired special forces soldier. I hired him to be my driver and bodyguard. He is very skilled."
"That guy told me that the security guard next to Xiao Ran looked familiar to him. It turned out that he was from their brigade and was the most awesome one."
"Later, he was transferred to Beijing. It is said that he joined the Security Bureau of the General Office in the red wall compound. Do you know what this means?"
"Ah! Office Security Bureau"
The famous director and Mr. Chen exclaimed in unison, and their expressions changed instantly.
Especially Mr. Chen, his face turned a little pale.
He is not an idiot. Of course he understands what the Office Security Bureau means.
Next, these guys were all silent, not even a word of complaint!
While talking, the elevator door opened.
They immediately walked into the elevator and returned to their banquet hall.
After returning to the banquet hall, they became much more honest, and each of them was worried.
Especially Mr. Chen, who immediately felt that the popular beauty star next to him was not attractive!
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already around 3:30 in the afternoon.
Grandparents, grandparents, parents, they all rushed to the courtyard.
The two little ones at home, Xiaoxu and Yingzi, were excluded from tonight's dinner.
They are still too young to keep any secrets.
It was precisely with this in mind that Xiao Ran didn't let them come.
in the living room.
Everyone was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting.
"Xiao Ran, the treatment in our family is a bit unusual! We just attended a dinner at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse not long ago."
"It's been so long, and I was actually invited to be a guest in the courtyard opposite. I still can't believe it."
Mom said in surprise.
Not only my mother, but also the rest of the family were confused.
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then explained a few words.
"Mom! Just stay calm, this is nothing special, just treat it with a normal attitude!"
"Didn't I go to Japan years ago and help the country recover a batch of smuggled national treasure-level antiques?"
"This invitation is just because of that action. It can be regarded as a reward. After all, your son has contributed to the country!"
After hearing his explanation, everyone nodded.
But his mother glanced at him angrily.
"Treat it with a normal attitude? That's easy to say?"
After chatting for a while, grandpa suddenly interrupted and said:
"Xiaoran, our family is going to be guests, do we need to prepare some gifts? We can't come empty-handed."
"Let me tell you what gift your kid has prepared. If you haven't prepared it, it's still too late."
Xiao Ran looked at his grandfather, then smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, grandpa, how dare I forget such an important thing?"
"I went to the vault in Financial Street just now and brought out two treasures, ready to be given as gifts to our family."
"These are a pair of bronze cups from the early Warring States Period. They were lost overseas and I exchanged them for them."
"This pair of bronze cups is extremely exquisite. There are four inscriptions on each of them. They are of high grade. They should have come from the royal family of the Qin Dynasty."
"In China, this pair of bronze cups are national first-class cultural relics, that is, national treasures. They are definitely worth it."
Following his words, the family members all nodded and felt relieved.
"The early Warring States period bronzes, with inscriptions, are indeed national treasures."
"Of course I can get such a gift, but you are really willing to give it up."
Dad nodded approvingly and said.
Before Xiao Ran could respond, grandpa continued.
"Xiao Ran, if I remember correctly, the old man has already stipulated that all gifts received must be turned over to the state, right?"
Xiao Ran nodded and immediately gave the answer.
"Indeed, this rule has not changed. Gifts received by senior leaders will be handed over to the general office for processing."
"That is to say, the pair of bronze cups we gave away today will soon appear in the exhibition halls of the National Museum or the Forbidden City."
"If you want to see it when you arrive, you can go to the Forbidden City or the National Museum to enjoy it at any time. There is no problem in starting to enjoy it."
After hearing his explanation, Grandpa immediately smiled and nodded.
As we spoke, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
The special cell phone placed on the coffee table suddenly rang.
Xiao Ran picked it up and glanced at Laixian, then answered the phone.
The next moment, Director Zhang's voice came over.
"Xiao Ran, it's almost time. Come out with your family. We are in the alley. Let's go there together."
"Okay, Director Zhang, we'll go out right away."
Xiao Ran nodded in response.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately said to his family:
"Let's go, the office will send someone to pick us up."
Hearing this, everyone stood up from the sofa.
They arranged their clothes one after another before walking towards the door.
Xiao Ran walked into the study, came out with a huanghuali box, and then walked out of the courtyard with his family.
They saw it as soon as they came out of the yard.
Director Zhang and Ma Ming have arrived at the gate and are waiting at the door.
After the meeting, Xiao Ran introduced his family and everyone got to know each other.
Afterwards, everyone got into the Coaster parked aside, left the alley, and went to the compound across the street.
