Under the bright lights, the entire banquet hall looked classic and luxurious. Well-dressed guests gathered in twos and threes holding goblets, smiling and whispering, forming small circles.
Several musicians on the performance stage were playing a cheerful piece of music hard, but it was a pity that few people at the scene paid attention to them.
It was at this time that Zhao Jinyu, wearing a low-key smoky gray dress with a stand-up collar, entered the banquet hall from an entrance on the other side without attracting too many people's attention.
After entering the hall, it was easy to find Chen Lixuan and others in the crowd. Zhao Jinyu smiled and said hello to the passing guests while moving over there.
It took seven or eight minutes before Zhao Jinyu finally moved to Chen Lixuan and others and greeted everyone one by one, "Uncle Murong, Second Uncle Lu, and Uncle Li, welcome! Mr. Zou, Special Assistant Liang, Third Uncle, good evening!" These people Among them, except for Murong Ze, everyone else often had the opportunity to see Zhao Jinyu because of Chen Lixuan, and everyone got along more casually.
When he saw Zhao Jinyu coming here just now, Liang Tao habitually ordered someone to bring him a glass of juice. Seeing that he had greeted several people, he motioned to him and the waiter standing beside him held a glass of juice. Drinks.
Lu Guanze on the side looked at the orange juice in Zhao Jinyu's hand, and suddenly remembered what Li Xuan had said to him before, and immediately said with a smile, "Jinyu has turned 18 today, why is he still drinking juice like a child? He should be drinking. Yes! At 18 years old, he is already an adult and can do many things!" The next sentence was deliberately prolonged to make it extremely ambiguous.
After listening to Lu Guanze's words, the others looked at Zhao Jinyu with meaningful smiles on their faces.
As Zhao Jinyu, who had been married in his previous life, he really didn't think these words had anything to do with it. But as a man who had just turned 18 in the eyes of everyone, he really couldn't use any words to defend himself, so he could only point to the other side and said, " I’ll go over there and say hello to my classmates.”
In the eyes of Lu Guanze and others, his behavior was a bit like running away, which made them even more happy.
The banquet has not officially started yet. Everyone basically formed small circles to chat and gossip based on familiarity or the same faction. As Zhao Jinyu's classmates, a group of people from Beijing University naturally gathered together.
Zhao Jinyu had already seen them when he first entered the banquet hall, but he couldn't come over specially at that time. Now he has time to come over and greet them.
Besides, if someone gives you a gift, no matter whether it is valuable or not, or whether you like it or not, as the person receiving the gift, you still have to say thank you personally.
Since you are here for a birthday party, you cannot come empty-handed. There must be gifts prepared. Most of the gifts that people bring are given directly to the staff at the entrance check-in area.
For 18-year-old boys, most of the gifts they prepare are accessories, ornaments, electronic products, watches, etc. Those who are closer to each other and know Zhao Jinyu’s preferences usually give some calligraphy and paintings, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and ancient books. , and so on.
Regarding the gifts given by these guests, there are some special or relatively expensive gifts, or the people who gave the gifts are familiar to Jin Yu, Wang Qiang will report these gifts to him at any time, so that he will not chat with others. Knowing nothing is disrespectful to others.
Zhao Jinyu came to where a group of classmates from Beijing University were. When he saw them, he said to everyone, "It cost everyone a lot of money. I like the cotton-weaving painting "Lanting Preface" very much. Thank you for your trouble!"
"As long as you like it, it won't be in vain for everyone's support," Yang Jun replied on behalf of everyone with a smile, and the others also agreed.
On Zhao Jinyu's birthday this time, the group of people who were invited had been worrying about what gifts to give for a long time. It was really unaffordable to give them separately, but when everyone pooled their money to give a gift together, there was basically no objection and everyone agreed.
However, as for the specific gift, a group of people got together to discuss everything for a long time, but in the end they were all rejected one by one. Yang Jun later talked about this matter with his cousin, and his cousin, a journalist, paid attention to it.
Everyone knows that Zhao Jinyu has good calligraphy. It is suitable to give such calligraphy and painting works, and the price is also suitable. If each person pays one or two hundred yuan, even they, as students, can afford it.
Zhao Jinyu looked at Wang Yaru and others' rather reserved expressions. They were just holding goblets, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The meal prepared by the chef tonight is not bad. Why are you all standing here? Could it be?" Are you ready to lose weight?"
Li Bo on the side laughed, "You're still losing weight? Every time we go to Little Sheep, these beauties are more ruthless than us in snatching them. Why should we lose weight? They see many handsome guys there and are afraid of scaring others by eating too much."
If Li Bo had dared to say this at school, he would have been kicked by some tough female classmates. Tonight when he said this, only Zhou Dan rolled his eyes at him and laughed and said, "We are afraid of eating." Too scary? You are not the same, why are you pretending to be polite here?"
With the arrival of Zhao Jinyu, he joked with a group of people and chatted for a while, which finally made Wang Yaru, Li Bo and others relax a little after they came in.
Most of the students who came to attend his birthday party this time were from ordinary families. Apart from on-campus activities, this was the first time for many of them to attend such a formal party.
Not everyone can be like Zhao Jinyu and feel as comfortable as attending a large banquet for the first time as if they were in their own living room. It was the first time that they stood in such a brightly lit and luxuriously decorated banquet hall. Even though they were wearing carefully prepared beautiful clothes like everyone else, they still couldn't help but show timidity.
Zhao Jinyu saw that there were still more than ten minutes until seven o'clock, and then said to the others, "I'm going to get some food. Do you want to go over together and take a look?" He walked a few steps and patted Zou Nan who was standing on the other side. "Boss, do you want to come with us and get some for your girlfriend?"
Hearing what he said, not only Zou Nan, but also a few girls and several boys were immediately ready to follow him to the dining area. This made him smile. It seemed that it was not only the girls who were pretending to be reserved, but also the boys. I am also very careful, just for fear of being laughed at if I eat too much.
Although the hall is decorated in an antique style, giving it a strong ancient style, the food and drinks are all prepared in a Western-style buffet for the convenience of guests.
A variety of exquisite meals are carefully prepared by the hotel's chefs and placed on the dinner plate like works of art for the convenience of guests.
Zhao Jinyu took a plate casually, put a few snacks on each plate, and walked to a seat aside with others to sit down and enjoy tonight's somewhat late dinner.
As soon as he picked up a crystal dumpling with a fork and put it into his mouth, he was slapped from behind, "That's too much. You are the protagonist tonight, and you are hiding here eating alone?"
Zhao Jinyu smiled and pointed to the people next to her, indicating that she was not eating alone. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she took another sip of water and then asked, "Senior Sister Yao, aren't you with Hu Feng and Lin Junxi?" Are they together? Why are you here alone?"
Hu Mengyao, who was wearing a pink and blue dress, was also holding a plate in her hand, which only contained a few small cakes. Looking at it made people sigh again at the girl's little bird's stomach.
She didn't refuse, and sat down aside before replying, "They are so busy, how can they care about eating!"
Seeing that Zhao Jinyu didn't ask why, she stopped talking and started chatting with other students from Beijing University. After eating the small pieces of cake and preparing to leave, she leaned close to Zhao Jinyu's ear and whispered, "Have you noticed that there are so many beauties coming to your birthday party tonight?"
Many of the people who came to the banquet tonight brought their own girls who were about the same age as Zhao Jinyu. You could guess the meaning without thinking too much.
Not to mention that Zhao Jinyu's identity has long been recognized by the Chen family. Just because of his medical skills and being a special instructor of the police force and the military, he is not yet twenty years old and already has a command of his own. The network resources that I am envious of.
He was able to treat Mr. Fang, the former leader of the Celestial Dynasty, and revived the most promising heir among the younger generations of the Zheng family. At the same time, he also nursed back the health of many people. Among these people was their old man and his wife, who had these connections. Resources, even if he does not enter the system in the future, people will not dare to underestimate him.
It's no wonder that even if Zhao Jinyu's background is not very good, it has only been more than a year since he returned to the Chen family, and many people have set their sights on him.
