"Mr. Ning, I was going to leave, but one of my uncles learned that I was in Nanhai and asked me to do a favor, so I came." At this time, Zhang Yunting was elegant and noble, and she was very different from the neighbor she met during the day. The girl is completely different, just like a gorgeous flower. Her black strapless dress highlights her mystery. The most eye-catching thing is that the necklace she wears on her chest shines brightly under the light. It is easy to see She was blinded by the light, and she was very big. Everyone knew that Zhang Yunting could not wear a fake, so the value of this diamond necklace was astonishing.
"Xu Qian, I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?"
"I'm a little person, how dare I ignore a big star." Xu Qian knew he couldn't hide, so he could only walk out from behind the crowd.
Everyone could hear the conversation between Xu Qian and Zhang Yunting clearly. Everyone else knew that Xu Qian had saved Zhang Yunting's life. Later, Zhang Yunting chatted with him alone for a while. But Ning Fei didn't understand that clearly. He didn't know about the private chat between the two, so he was very surprised at how they could be so familiar with each other.
"The time is coming, let's go there too." Huo Mingwei reminded him at the right time.
Everyone also felt that it was time to pass, and the group came to the Paris Room behind the lobby.
The Paris Room is indeed very luxurious, but the decoration has nothing to do with Paris, it's just a name.
As soon as they entered, Lin Qiaoni and Shanshan, two beauties, one big and one small, couldn't help but open their mouths, just like children seeing a wave board candy as big as a basketball. Lin Qiaoni's expression was noticed by several people. Chen Xiaolu looked contemptuous, while Huo Mingwei and Ning Fei smiled knowingly.
The interior of the hall is decorated with white as the main tone. The layout is based on a Western-style cocktail party. There is a long table with a lot of exquisite food and drinks. However, there is no staple food. To put it bluntly, it is not here for dinner. .
According to the original arrangement, there would be a small band playing before the official opening, but because of the tragedy that happened today, it was cancelled.
Zhang Yunting originally wanted to chat with Xu Qian again, but when Xu Qian saw so many delicacies, he immediately took Shanshan to get the plate, leaving the big star aside who was about to open his mouth.
The two young masters, Ning Fei and Huo Mingwei, surrounded Lin Qiaoni and introduced her to various aspects of the dinner. Lin Qiaoni was also willing to learn and integrate into such a life, and the three of them were quite interesting in chatting.
Ning Fei originally just thought Lin Qiaoni was beautiful. Although he had many girlfriends, there were only a few who could achieve this quality. It was still impossible for him, Mr. Ning, to hang around women just based on his appearance, and Lin Qiaoni had no background. The most critical factor was Huo Mingwei.
Ning Fei and Huo Mingwei are both well-known wealthy elites in Nanhai City. They have known each other since childhood. Later, they both became representatives of the younger generation of the family and managed some of the family's core businesses. The upper class circles in Nanhai always like to treat the two of them with each other. When people compare them, they feel that it is better to be beautiful than to be beautiful.
So after Ning Fei felt that Huo Mingwei was pursuing Lin Qiaoni, he became serious. No matter why Huo Mingwei fell in love with this college girl, he should catch her first, at least he couldn't let Huo Mingwei succeed in front of him.
Chen Xiaolu and Song Shiming were the two people who were least interested in this dinner, and they were even more indifferent to the food. They didn't even take a look at it. They simply found a sofa in the corner to sit and chat.
The most incomprehensible thing is Li Yuanxi. He walks around here and there like visiting a museum. He looks at the decoration and the delicious food. He also tastes it from time to time, as if he wants to write a review after returning home. A sensitive primary school student, he only briefly tasted it as a spectator, but he went deep into it with a research and scrutiny eye.
Attending the meeting tonight were local wealthy businessmen and elites from various fields in Nanhai, as well as some young family representatives. The invitation was sent out urgently and was notified by the city government on the same day. Ning Fei's father was on a business trip abroad. The Ning family didn't want to miss this opportunity, so they asked Ning Fei to attend on his behalf. Huo Mingwei's situation is a little different. As a family with superpowers, the Huo family does not value secular property. At least the core members of the family don't value it too much. The head of the family, Huo Nai, is a superpower. He has a monk's attitude toward ordinary people. With his arrogance, it was impossible for him to come here to attend such a party. Huo Mingwei himself was the first person in the Huo family to deal with such mundane matters, so it was reasonable for him to come.
"Shanshan, eat more." Xu Qian kept putting cakes on Shanshan's plate.
"It's late at night, and you want me to eat so many sweets. I'll get fat. Also, it's said on TV that many cakes are made of vegetable cream. It's not good to eat too much." Shanshan complained while eating. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. Her movements and words are completely contradictory. It's really hard to judge whether she really wants to eat or not.
"The cakes here are good. They are made of animal butter. They do not contain trans fatty acids. They are relatively healthy and not easy to gain weight. That's why I ask you to eat more."
Zhang Yunting stood behind the two of them. She finally found the starting point of the conversation, "Although the cost of vegetable cream is relatively low, it is not so unbearable."
Xu Qian and Shanshan turned their heads together, "Eating too much vegetable butter will reduce memory, easily form blood clots, and cause coronary heart disease."
As soon as Xu Qian finished speaking, Shanshan continued: "It will also affect growth, development and fertility, and it is easy to gain weight."
"You... specialize in this?" Zhang Yunting couldn't understand why a high school student and a child were so familiar with the knowledge of vegetable butter. She suddenly felt that she had some misunderstanding about this.
Just when she was about to say something else, the whole family went to get food again.
"Is this food more attractive than a big star like me?" Zhang Yunting stood there blankly, feeling lost.
"Are you... Zhang Yunting?" Someone spotted Zhang Yunting and naturally came forward to get to know her.
Those who can come to this charity gala are all reputable people in Nanhai. They are not crazy about chasing stars like those young people, but they are still interested in celebrities. This is human nature.
"Yunting——" A man about sixty years old walked straight towards Zhang Yunting.
"Uncle Ma!" Zhang Yunting also came forward to greet him.
This "Uncle Ma" is well-dressed and carries a cane. From his temperament, it can be seen that he is a person with rich experience and status.
The expressions on the faces of several people who had previously chatted with Zhang Yunting were uncertain, and they speculated on the identity of the old man named Ma. Because they saw that there were two people behind this person. One was a man in his thirties. This man was unfamiliar and no one knew him. But the other one was extraordinary. More than half of the people present knew this person. He was probably in his forties and was Dou Gang, the director of the Nanhai City Mayor's Office.
What could be the identity of the person who could allow Dou Gang to accompany him? Before anyone could guess the answer, the old man revealed the answer himself.
After the old man chatted with Zhang Yunting for a few words, he walked to the stage. The host in a red dress was already ready and standing aside waiting. Seeing the old man approaching, he walked onto the stage with experience. The moment the host stood in the center of the stage, the main lights of the entire Paris Hall suddenly went out, and instead, two spotlights shone on the host.
"Good evening, distinguished guests." The host's voice sounded, and everyone began to gather towards the stage. As everyone knew, the party had begun.
"Welcome to the Starry Night Charity Gala. I am Huang Jiajia, tonight's host. I hope you can donate generously at tonight's gala to help out-of-school children in mountainous areas."
After Huang Jiajia paused, her voice became lower, "We all know that a serious and vicious incident occurred in our city today. Fortunately, there were no casualties. But according to the latest news, similar incidents have also occurred in several other cities in our country. incident, we in Nanhai City were not as lucky as we were in Nanhai City. For this reason, we canceled all the fun programs originally planned for the party and added a link. Now, please take a few minutes to pay homage to the victims and at the same time pay tribute to the victims. Prayers for those who are being treated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several waiters rolled out several carts with lit white candles. The candles added a bit of faint candlelight to the dim hall, creating a slightly desolate atmosphere.
Did something like this happen elsewhere on the same day? Xu Qian was almost certain that this was not a single incident against Zhang Yunting.
Dang——dang——
The sound of metal collision came from the speakers. Anyone who knows something about musical instruments can tell that this is chimes.
The earth turns against its house,
The water returns to its valley.
Insects do not work,
Grass and trees return to their marsh.
After the second toll of the chime, a thick and old man's voice appeared, reciting the pre-Qin ballad "Yi Qi's Wax Ci". After the sentence "The soil rebels against its home", Zhang Yunting's Uncle Ma appeared with a microphone. On the stage.
This pre-Qin folk song only has four sentences, very short and very insightful. It reflects people's good wishes to effectively control disasters.
"This appearance is quite stylish." Xu Qian muttered softly.
"Well, it's quite stylish. I didn't understand a word of it." Shanshan agreed with a serious look. She was indeed serious. She usually thinks that things that she can't understand are very cool, that is, they are very stylish. .
