Chapter 3991: Gifts from all sides
After all, even if they are open-minded in their hearts, they can't stop others from thinking crookedly, and if it affects Shangguan Lan'er's reputation because of this, it will really be endless.
Coming to the first floor, as Xu Lingchong said, the hall of Huayangju was already full of friends at this moment, although everyone was deliberately restraining their momentum, Lin Yi could still feel that none of them present were ordinary people.
Especially those big people who are qualified to sit on the main seat, every one of them is like a god, and in front of them, Lin Yi can only give birth to a feeling, the mountains are looking up.
And among these big names, there are also many faces that Lin Yi has seen before, such as Xu Yuanzheng, the third elder of the Cupola Pavilion, such as Zhao Hongbo, the fourth elder of the Qingyun Pavilion, such as the bald elder who guards the Houshan Palace, and the Ram Jie, who has dealt with before, is also among them.
Even Lin Yi met an old acquaintance in it, Hong Zhong of the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
This point was quite unexpected by Lin Yi, but it was reasonable to think about it, Hong Zhong, as the plenipotentiary agent of the Hong Chamber of Commerce in Beidao, was naturally approaching the high-level of the three major pavilions.
What's more, no matter his identity or status, he is not under the elders of the three major pavilions, so he naturally has the qualifications to occupy a main seat.
However, although Lin Yi and him are acquaintances, they were made friends as Lin Er, and now Lin Yi is the appearance of the deity, and Hong Zhong may not be able to recognize it.
With Shangguan Lan'er appearing, all the people in the audience who were still greeting each other instantly focused on the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, all with a smile on their faces, and there was a bit of surprise in their eyes.
As the protagonist, Shangguan Lan'er is actually dressed no different from usual today, without deliberately dressing up or deliberately decorating, but even so, it is still difficult to hide her natural beauty. Under the dreamy atmosphere deliberately created by the audience, it is like a fairy descending to earth, which is dizzying.
However, while everyone's eyes were focused on Shangguan Lan'er, there were still many people who noticed Lin Yi who came down with her, and was slightly stunned followed by a burst of whispering.
For Lin Yi, a pure raw face, except for Xu Lingchong and Nantianmen, who knew about it, the others knew nothing, and suddenly saw him appear with Miss Shangguan. Of course, there are all kinds of suspicions, and there are many discussions in private.
At this time, Shangguan Tianhua, who was sitting on the main seat in the middle, beckoned to Shangguan Lan'er half-doting, half-counted: "Xiao Lan'er, why don't you hurry up and say hello to all the grandfathers and uncles, let so many elders wait for you alone, your face today is big enough." ”
"Little junior brother, you find a place to sit down first, I'll come back to you later!" Shangguan Lan'er turned her head and whispered to Lin Yi. Then he took the little curly bear and trotted over with joy.
Xu Lingchong watched this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but be angry again, after having a preconceived conjecture. Now that he looks at every little action of Shangguan Lan'er and Lin Yi, he feels that these two are secretly flirting, which is unbearable.
"I still think that this little girl is pure and lovely, and the holiness is inviolable. I didn't expect it to be such a prodigal hoof, with a unique taste, it's really blind!" Xu Lingchong spat viciously on the ground. A bold plan quietly took shape in his mind.
No matter what the considerations, he can't let Shangguan Lan'er escape from the palm of his hand, absolutely not, even if he does anything to take a little risk!
At this moment, in the hall, there is a happy and harmonious scene, among the many big people present, even if they have contradictions with each other, they can't show a little bit at this time, at least in front of the public, they must force laughter for the time being, after all, Shangguan Tianhua, the face of the super boss, they can't help but give it.
The birthday banquet, in addition to allowing many big people to gather together and greet each other, according to the usual practice, there is also an indispensable highlight, and today is no exception under Xu Lingchong's arrangement, that is, everyone presents Shangguan Lan'er, the protagonist of the birthday banquet.
According to each other's status, dignity and strength, everyone in the audience gave Shangguan Lan'er birthday gifts in turn, which was not only an expression of their hearts, but also an excellent opportunity to show their respective energy.
Inevitably, the birthday banquet will eventually become more or less a comparison event for everyone, whoever takes out the gift is more rare and precious, it represents whose energy is greater, and the status in the minds of many big people in the future will naturally be higher, as for those slightly shabby and ordinary gifts, they can't be taken out at all, even if they are taken out, they can only be embarrassed.
And this time, under Xu Lingchong's deliberate arrangement, everyone not only needed to give gifts in front of everyone, but even rented three appraisal experts from major chambers of commerce to comment on each gift one by one in public.
In this way, the atmosphere of the scene is much stronger than before, and after listening to Xu Lingchong's announcement, the expressions on everyone's faces are either happy or sad, which can be described as wonderful.
The top bigwigs of the North Island gather together, this kind of opportunity is very rare, everyone wants to shine on this occasion, impress many bigwigs, and no one wants to be embarrassed at this time, once you leave a stingy evaluation, it will be bitter.
If I had known that there was such a link, it is estimated that everyone present would definitely spare no effort to present the best treasures, which can leave a good impression in the hearts of many bigwigs, even if it costs more.
It's a pity that when Xu Lingchong sent them the invitation, he treated them differently in the process, those who were close to their Xu family were reminded when they received the invitation, and those who had an average or even bad relationship with their Xu family were completely unaware of this.
Even, they will be deliberately misled, thinking that this birthday party is just a formality, and there is no need to bother to prepare any expensive gifts.
As a result, those who have been reminded can show their faces next, while those who have been deliberately misled will be truly tragic at this time, and they can only wait for themselves to become the laughing stock of the audience in the midst of anxiety and suffering.
The process is under Xu Lingchong's control, and the members of his Xu family are all full of joy, and those who oppose their Xu family can only bite the bullet and accept the disdainful gaze of the audience. (To be continued......)
