For a moment, Xiaodao felt like a star walking on the red carpet. He felt like he was receiving the same attention as those popular stars. Although this was just a banquet held in a personal name, and no media or flashlights appeared at the scene, the scale of the entire banquet was not small at all.
The entire banquet hall has two floors, each floor is thousands of square meters, and the Wang family specially found such a luxurious hotel to host this banquet. This place is much larger than ordinary exhibitions. Even Xiao Dao felt that the scene was too big when he saw such a large space.
If it's just big, it doesn't matter. The Wang family is also one of the four major families in the capital. It must have some strength. It can be done with a little money. What surprised Xiaodao was the number of people attending this banquet. Xiaodao looked up and saw that it was a densely packed area of people. This is the strength of a big family. There were so many people in a casual banquet. Come and participate.
Unlike other banquets, the number of people who went there was sparse, and even the people invited by the organizer might not attend. Looking at the banquet in front of me and the lively scene, everyone's expressions are so happy, and they all seem to feel honored to be able to participate in this banquet, but it is understandable when you think about it. After all, this is a good time to make friends with the Wang family. Opportunity.
As he walked along the trail, he observed the surroundings. In fact, he was really curious. Is this place really so good that it would attract so many people? In fact, this was a problem of Xiaodao's own perception. He underestimated the significance of the banquet and the determination of those forces to wait and see.
You must know that they are all here for this banquet to seek verification. They all want to know whether the recent rumors are true. Has the Liu family really defeated the Zhao family again? If it is true, then the Liu family will definitely enter in a very high-profile manner, so when Xiaodao and his party walked in like this, many people hurried to confirm. In the end, they were all sure that the rumors outside should be true. .
Because they rarely see the Liu family attending banquets in such a high-profile manner. Not only did the Liu family choose this time to attend the banquet in a high-profile manner, but they also came with so many people, even Mr. Zhang came in person. . So these are enough to explain what the onlookers knew. After everyone got the answer they wanted, they became very interested in Zhang Xiaodao.
Xiaodao naturally did not expect this. He continued to walk into the banquet hall with Liu Yating very calmly. Although he was not so calm inside at this time, his face did not show any signs of it. Liu Yating also followed Xiaodao silently, as if you are the protagonist today and I am just here to cooperate with your performance, which made Xiaodao not know what to say.
"It's more fun here than at home. I know you don't usually like such lively scenes, but it feels good to participate once in a while, right? You don't regret coming out with me. How could my sister lie to you? In the future You still have to listen to your sister.”
Liu Yating put her face close to Xiaodao's ear and whispered, the expression on her face was so naughty, those who didn't know thought they were talking about love. Naturally, Liu Yating saw Xiao Dao's appearance and suddenly teased him like this. Thinking about the first time she attended such a banquet, it seemed that her performance was not much better than Xiao Dao.
Especially at that time, she had no one to accompany her. She had to face it alone. The feelings at that time were very deep. How could she have the intention to tease others like she does now. It was only later that I participated more often and gradually became indifferent to it, and now I basically don’t care anymore.
"Yes, Sister Yating, now I feel a bit like a big star. It seems that people will pay attention to me wherever I go. To be honest, this feeling is really good! From this aspect, coming out with you this time is also a great feeling. It’s not a loss, and it’s really nice to feel this way once in a while.”
Xiaodao was shocked by Liu Yating's cute expression, and then he whispered what he was thinking, with excitement in his tone. You must know that Zhang Xiaodao usually doesn't like such lively places. He always likes to stay in a quiet environment. He will definitely leave a place with so many people immediately.
While the two people were talking quietly, Liu Guojun, who was walking in front of them, was not happy at all. In the past, when he and his daughter attended such events, their daughter had always been by his side. But now my daughter is with other men. Although this is a normal thing, his daughter will definitely have a boy she likes when she gets older, but he understands the truth, but he feels very uncomfortable in his heart.
But they came here for a purpose today. He had no choice but to tidy up his clothes with his hands to change his mood, and then took the Liu family and walked towards Wang Shihao, the head of the Wang family. Today is his birthday. Whether from a personal point of view or from the perspective of family interests, it is appropriate to go over and say a few words of blessing. Although many young people no longer care about these rules, people of their generation have not forgotten them, so Liu Guojun took Xiaodao and his party there to celebrate his birthday.
"Brother Wang, I wish you good health and all your wishes come true!"
When the group of people came not far from Wang Shihao, Liu Guojun first said an ordinary auspicious word with his hands. With their status, it was enough to say a few nice words. There is no need to say so many disgusting words like other people do. After all, saying a few nice words will already give the other party a lot of face.
"Brother Liu, you're here too. These people really don't know how to do things. Why didn't you notify me when you came? I wanted to go down and greet you in person."
Wang Shihao saw Liu Guojun showing goodwill to him and heard his blessings. He hurriedly came up to greet him with a very sincere expression. This is called you respect me a foot and I will respect you a foot. This sentence usually applies to ordinary people, but sometimes it also applies to the upper class.
Wang Shihao enthusiastically pulled Liu Guojun towards his seat, and they soon arrived at the best and most central place in the banquet hall. There was a very large table filled with all kinds of delicacies. They not only exuded various fragrances, but also looked very beautiful, making people want to take a bite.
At this time, someone was already sitting on the table, and Xiaodao didn't look too much. He just knew that there was someone from the Zhao family among them, because he had seen him during the last competition, although he was hiding and watching from a distance. Moreover, only the Zhao family has eyes full of hostility towards this group of people, so Xiaodao can also confirm that the other party must be a member of the Zhao family through this.
Liu Guojun walked to the back of the seat and did not sit down immediately. Instead, he glanced at Zhao Huayu and met Zhao Huayu's eyes. For a moment, he could feel the hatred bursting out of the eyes of the two people through the air. The scene suddenly fell into silence. Everyone present knew the depth of hatred between the two people, so no one dared to go over and make peace.
"Stop standing around, Brother Liu, and hurry up and take a seat. I have good tea here. Let's taste it together. If I have such a good thing, I will definitely share it with you, Brother Liu. I guarantee this is the best tea."
Seeing that the two people were looking at each other cross-eyed, Wang Shihao quickly interrupted the two people's gaze with words. He was the master here today, so when encountering such a thing, he had no choice but to come out to warm up the scene. You must know that today is his birthday banquet. If something happens, he will lose face. Besides, he has his purpose in hosting this banquet.
This time, Liu Guojun did not sit down directly. Instead, he turned around and waved to Liu Yating and Xiaodao not far away, motioning for them to come and sit down together. Liu Guojun sat down after seeing two people coming over and sitting on the other side of him.
But a strange scene happened again. Except for the people from the Zhao family, everyone else who had already sat down was stunned when they saw Xiao Dao's clothes, and then they all stood up immediately. It was as if their seats were equipped with springs. They stood up so fast that Liu Guojun was a little surprised. Xiaodao was also full of doubts. His butt had just landed on the chair. Why did these people get up?
Is this etiquette? Does he also need to stand up? So when Xiaodao was about to stand up, Liu Yating gently patted his arm to signal him not to stand up. After getting Liu Yating's hint, Xiaodao felt confident that he didn't want to embarrass the Liu family this time, so he was so cautious. Normally he would not pay attention to this.
"You don't have to stand up. They must have just recognized you, so they are all so excited. So you don't need to pay attention to them. Take a look at the delicious food in front of you. Eat whatever you want! They are chatting about them. Yeah, let’s eat ours and take it easy.”
After saying that, Liu Yating handed Xiaodao a pair of chopsticks, indicating that he could start. As for those who were still standing, neither of them had any intention of paying attention to them. In fact, Liu Yating had anticipated these situations, so when she saw these people's reactions, she quickly reminded Xiao Dao and told him not to worry about these people.
"Okay Sister Yating, thank you for reminding me, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if I stood up too."
Xiaodao had really never participated in such a banquet, so he really almost made a joke just now, so he sat down without looking at who was around or saying hello.
But now it was the turn of those standing people to be embarrassed. It was right for them to sit down, but it would be even more rude to stand, so they all had to look at Liu Guojun. Liu Guojun was also confused by the actions of these people just now, but he returned to normal in a moment, and quickly stood up and picked up the wine glass, as if he wanted to clink glasses with everyone else. In fact, he did this on purpose. After all, this not only alleviated everyone's embarrassment, but also gave everyone a step down.
"I, Liu, am late today. I will punish myself with a drink first, so you don't have to drink it!"
After speaking, Liu Guojun drained the glass of wine in one gulp, and then motioned for everyone to sit down together, so the few people who were standing before also sat down immediately. Everyone was very grateful to Liu Guojun for his help, otherwise they would have been really embarrassed today, but they didn't expect that Liu Guojun would let Mr. Zhang come to the table together.
