The private room is divided into two halls, which can be separated and combined, and can accommodate up to 100 people.
This dinner was the first time Gao Ting came back to meet Jiangbei celebrities after seven years abroad, so Gao Zhan paid special attention to it and personally helped her choose a dress. I saw Gao Ting wearing a pure white one-shoulder mopping dinner dress, this evening dress was customized from France, this is the only set. Gao Ting combed the princess's hair, and Gao Zhan took out a pearl jewelry set for her, saying that this was a set that her mother liked very much before her death. The necklace is a thumb-sized, perfectly beaded gold pearl strung with two pear-shaped yellow gold pearl earrings. Gao Zhan brought it to her, and standing in front of him was a gorgeous princess. He felt a warmth in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of his deceased wife: "If your mother is still here, how happy you will be today!" After wiping the corners of her eyes, Gao Ting comforted and said: "Dad, my mother will not be lonely in heaven." After saying a meaningful smile, Gao Zhan only wiped his tears and didn't pay attention.
The dinner is about to start, Gao Zhan took his daughter to meet the guests, today only one inner hall was opened in the private room, and a luxurious round table already sat ten guests. Seeing Gao Zhan's father and daughter coming in slowly, they all quickly stood up to greet them, and Gao Zhan introduced them to Gao Ting in turn. The first one is a tall and thin man, in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his emaciated face, wearing a gray suit, called Yang Xin, the president of the Bank of Jiangbei City, in charge of the three major banks of industry, agriculture and commerce below, and is the God of Wealth in Jiangbei.
The second is a man with a short and medium figure, about 1.72 meters, a strong and straight back, and a black-framed glasses on his national face, also in his forties, wearing a royal blue suit, he is Cai Chuan, the head of the Earth Fire Gang. And next to him is a man in a floral shirt, slightly taller than one meter seven or eight, with the same Chinese face, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, eyes are bright, and a string of gold necklaces weighing more than one pound is hung around his neck, he is Cai Chuan's younger brother, Cai Xiong, the second leader of the Earth Fire Gang.
The fourth person does not need to be introduced to Gao Ting, Meng Zihao. He was wearing a lilac shirt and beige trousers today, the top two buttons of the shirt were not buttoned, and the broad chest muscles inside were looming, and next to him was Luo Zihan. Today, she has long hair, like a black waterfall, wearing a lilac lace dress, a fair goose egg face, a pair of big black and flashing eyes under the willow leaf curved eyebrows, and a bright red mouth exuding a charming atmosphere, and she snuggles up to Meng Zihao's side movingly.
Gao Ting came over and couldn't help but admire: "Sister Zihan, you are so delicate tonight"
Next are five well-known business owners in Jiangbei City, and everyone sat down after greeting Gao Zhan's father and daughter one by one.
Gao Ting spoke first: "Hello everyone, I am Gao Ting, I have just returned from the University of Nottingham, and I am serving the land of Jiangbei City, which gave birth to me and raised me. Most of you here are older than me, and they are my uncles, so I, Gao Ting, as a junior, would like to toast you with a glass of wine and thank you for coming today. After speaking, I had a lively drink with everyone.
She went on to say: "After I returned to Jiangbei, I found that everything in Jiangbei is good, the economy is thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Everyone looked at each other, guessing what she was going to say was disappointing.
Gao Ting paused for a moment and continued: "Jiangbei City Red Letter Welfare Institute, if you haven't heard of it, it's normal, because its predecessor was a church, and now it's renamed Red Letter Welfare Institute, which specializes in accepting unattended children such as orphans, such as abandoned babies, and is managed by a 56-year-old Dean Chen, who is careful to manage and calculate, because of what, because of lack of money. That's why I've invited you to be here today. I'm going to hold a charity auction in three days' time, all the auction items are hand-painted paintings or other works of art made by the children of the Red Letter Society, and I hope that the uncles here can help me, help these homeless children, and bring all the auction items back to their children in three days. ”
After Gao Ting finished speaking with emotion, Luo Zihan secretly gave her a thumbs up, and Gao Ting nodded knowingly.
The air on the table suddenly froze a little, and Cai Xiong first said, "Is it money? Tell me, how much do you need?"
Gao Ting said: "It takes 20 million"
Everyone glanced at each other, no one spoke, Gao Ting stared at Meng Zihao, he didn't even pay attention to her, and only cared about picking vegetables for Luo Zihan.
At this time, Gao Zhan's thick voice sounded: "My daughter has just come back from abroad and is ready to serve Jiangbei, and her pure love is very valuable." We have all come from their age, and we will be very pleased to see this group of young people with the same hot blood flowing in their bones as we did back then! So we must support and understand! This is a good thing!"
After speaking, he looked around at everyone and continued, "And I also have a good thing, that is, my daughter Gao Ting happens to have a birthday next month, and every year on her birthday, the toll and port fees in each area of the month will be reduced by one percent."
After speaking, everyone laughed heartily, and at this time, Yang Xin, the president of the bank, stood up and proposed: "Since it is a double happiness, then we will raise a glass together and wish Miss Gao's love charity a complete success!"
With that, everyone stood up and clanged their wine glasses, and a sumptuous dinner began perfectly.
