Chapter 374: Cheering (2-in-1)
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at each other, it is a natural sense of strangeness and alienation for men and women who meet for the first time.
Ning Yan smiled and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Miss Ma, please take care of you when you meet for the first time." β
In order to avoid the embarrassment of those who have and do not have it again.
In addition, when he was in London, he had to make an exception when dealing with Arthur Philip and others, and Ning Yan simply stretched out his hand generously.
This once surprised Ma Manman, who had heard of it for a long time.
"Hello, Mr. Ning, uninvited, sorry to disturb you. Ma Manman said flatteredly.
"Nice to meet you. β
Ning Yan said with a smile: "Miss Ma is here, how can it be disturbing." β
ββ¦β¦β
Who doesn't know what to say.
Although now Ning Yan has understood that he doesn't need to look at people's faces at all, and he doesn't need to give Ma Manman and her father Ma Tengteng face. β
But Centaur Manman is just a little girl who has just graduated from a foreign university and returned to China, and it is really natural to give the girl some face.
ββ¦β¦β
There is a slightly stranger to Ma Manman, plus a few people who have come from all over the world.
Of course, Wenxi's close friend, Liu Chuxiao in Pengcheng, also came, but Xin Ning, who was far away in the capital, did not come.
It's a pan-circle gathering.
There are not many people, and there is not much attention to it, and Ning Yan never has to worry about the things that should be arranged.
In order to facilitate communication, it was simply arranged at the same large round table.
It's still very loose to sit down.
Young people, where do you get so much poverty?
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
After the feast, everyone chatted a few words that were not nutritious.
For example, tonight's meal was good.
Thanks for the hospitality......
As he spoke, Wang Si suddenly said, "...... We're almost halfway through July, do you have any ideas for a charity party this month?"
Hearing Wang Si's words, Ning Yan suddenly remembered that at the beginning of last month, he organized a charity banquet.
At that time, it not only attracted attention in the circle, but also aroused heated discussions among netizens.
I won't mention that.
The point is, how's the progress?
Thinking about it, Ning Yan gave Yan Zhi a look and asked Yan Zhi to write down this matter.
Yan Zhi nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
"Mr. Ning organized a wave last month, and if you get it again, I'm afraid it will be the same as me. Lin Mian took over and said.
There was a bit of self-deprecation in the tone.
How to say it, the last charity banquet was reluctantly changed to a seaside party.
Lin Mian still had some resentment in his heart.
It's something that can't be helped.
In a circle like this now, Lin Mian will take it out and laugh at himself.
However, I have to admit that Lin Mian has a point.
Charity in the circle will not be very frequent.
Theoretically, no more than twenty times a year.
Said separately after a large charity banquet.
Li Chengze smiled: "This kind of thing has always had nothing to do with me. β
"You can only talk. β
Wang Si made a gesture: "Actually, I don't mean anything else, I just want to see if we can postpone the charity banquet once a month, and let's take some pocket money out and have fun." β
"It's also a self-robbery of the rich and helping the poor. β
As he spoke, Wang Si himself laughed.
How to put it, as more and more slogans such as charity, public welfare, and so on come out, the term has been flooded to a certain extent.
Meantime......
This thing has also become something like a talisman for some people.
It seems that as long as you spend some money and pretend to be charity, you can write off the past.
In the circle of rich children, Wang Si is almost the most unaccustomed to this kind of thing.
Especially if you can't get used to this kind of thing in the entertainment industry.
So Wang Si is generally Wang Si.
Therefore, Wang Si is very inclined to initiate charity in the circle by themselves, and according to the foundation laid by Ning Yan, it will become a benchmark.
If nothing else, it will at least affect the atmosphere of charity in the circle.
At least the money will definitely be implemented.
Hearing Wang Si say this, Ning Yan made a gesture: "If the principal wants to do it, I will definitely support it, and if we can develop a real charitable atmosphere or benchmark, it will also be good." β
ββ¦β¦β
After Ning Yan expressed his attitude, Wen Xi immediately followed suit: "I also support it." β
"That'...... Count me in. Ma Manman continued.
Ji Ting smiled: "Add me one too." β
Liu Chuxiao raised his hand, indicating that he was counted.
ββ¦β¦β
In three or two sentences, Wang Si's proposal was decided.
The matters of time and place were also decided in a few words.
18th, next Thursday.
The location was set next door to Yangcheng.
According to Wang Si's meaning, his row is not enough, so he has to keep a low profile.
In comparison, among the four first-tier cities, Yangcheng is always very low-key and inconspicuous.
The navigation conditions are also very good, and in general it is still a little better than Pengcheng, which is still developing rapidly.
The reason why it takes so long is also to make preparations.
Ning Yan and the others had no opinion.
It means that the time will come.
This kind of gathering of almost pure acquaintances, the topics at the dinner table are all stubble, just after chatting about internal charity, the next second is talking about the most hotly discussed things on the Internet.
ββ¦β¦ When I got off the plane today, I walked through the ordinary passenger passage, and I heard that the house prices here have risen again. β
Wang Si said.
"I thought it was a joke on the Internet, but I didn't expect someone to really think so, it turned out to be a house of 4.8 million, and now it is going to be sold for 5.2 million, saying that let the other party understand what is called the socialist pioneer demonstration zone. β
Lin Mian pretended to sigh: "That's not it, no matter what comes out, the first thing to react to is the real estate." β
"People like me who eat and wait for death are really tired from life, and they can't escape at all. β
Liu Chuxiao pouted: "Don't pretend, I feel a little disgusting when I look at it." β
"You really don't call eating and waiting for death, it's no different from the kind of gentleman in the big family before, it's just that the conditions at that time people can only walk birds and have fun, you changed to a supercar to bomb the street, the purpose is still the same, hook up with a good family at every turn. β
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Mian was anxious at the time: "You are a personal attack! I have hooked up with a good family, I, Lin Mian, have never flirted with my sister!"
"Don't talk about this, let's get down to business!"
Liu Chuxiao: "!!"
Okay, you win!
Such shameless, I've seen one when I've grown so big.
"I listened to it, and it was said that this opinion was not officially put forward until August, and I don't know why it was advanced, which seems to be a bit hasty. Li Chengze said.
Speaking of which, he is the most vocal among these rich children.
"It's a bit weird, I used to get a little bit of wind. β
"This time, I heard from my family that there was no going through the motions at all. β
"I'm afraid it's not enough?"
"Probably not, headmaster, what do you say?"
"Hey, you're really going to give me eye medicine, aren't you, Mr. Ning is here, but it's not my turn. Wang Si shrugged his shoulders and said speechlessly.
Seeing that everyone had seen it, Ning Yan had no choice but to speak: "I don't have much to do with specific things. β
"I'm in charge of wandering the world right now. β
"However, a short time before the introduction, I did see the relevant information. β
In these words, Ning Yan used some clever words.
How to say it.
Words such as 'a small meeting', 'relevant', and 'not very involved' all have multiple meanings.
A simple example.
Ning Yan actually saw the first draft of the opinion almost a week in advance, but this also fell within the scope of a small meeting.
When they said it in such an environment, Lin Mian would subconsciously only think that it was in the dozens of minutes before it was made public......
"So, it's still Mr. Ning. β
"This time it's true, even my dad didn't get any news in advance. β
"There have been times like this before, but they are all more important strategic tendencies, and they are very different from the definition of this opinion. β
ββ¦β¦β
Ning Yan thought for a while and said, "This kind of thing has nothing to do with us, so don't talk about it in depth at the dinner table." β
"It's all an established fact anyway. β
Hearing Ning Yan say this, Wang Si and the others decisively terminated the topic.
This makes sense anyway, and if you talk too much, you will go to the road of 404.
After starting with this topic, Lin Mian then took the opportunity to mention the hot discussions in the international financial industry these days.
"I don't know what the so-called shareholders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are to contact with the Tonglun Stock Exchange. β
Lin Mian said casually.
"But I heard that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange also organized a delegation to London. β
"In the financial circles at home and abroad, there is a big earthquake at every turn. Wang Si doesn't understand, but there are many sources.
"I heard a lot of news when I went to the United States. β
"It's mainly something that is not easy to discuss in depth, who knows what the idea is. β
"Anyway, Mr. Trump in the United States has more ideas. β
"But...... Does the Shenzhen Stock Exchange really have such an operation? How do you feel that it has a lot to do with this? β
"Mr. Ning has been in London recently, why don't you ask?"
Hearing Li Chengze say this, everyone's eyes turned to Ning Yan.
Ning Yan: "......"
Why can you get involved with me for anything?
I don't think this counts as a lying gun.
Seeing this, Ning Yan spread his hands: "Don't think too much, I'm just going to London for a walk, these things basically have nothing to do with me, I'm just a visitor." β
"Maybe the news will be known a little bit ahead of you. β
"The Shenzhen Stock Exchange does have a delegation in London, and it is indeed in contact with the London Stock Exchange, but I really don't know what the progress is now. β
"After the opinions came out yesterday, I went back to China, and I can't afford to make up for this excitement. β
Wang thought for a moment and said, "It seems a little wrong, I remember...... When I was in the United States, there was a high-level event, and I heard that Trump was about to leave the White House for New York. β
"I heard that there was a guy who came to Wall Street in New York. β
"It seems that the surname is also Ning ......"
Ning Yan: "...... It's my grandfather. β
ββ¦β¦β
"So?" said Li Chengze with a smile.
His identity meant him to think about things easily.
And the expression is often euphemistic.
"I don't know how much, maybe it has a lot to do with some financial affairs. Ning Yan said.
ββ¦β¦β
"Mr. Ning may not have paid much attention to domestic news recently, right?"
"The affairs of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, as well as this socialist pioneer demonstration zone, have all revealed rumors, so there are many people talking about it. β
"Everyone is speculating that this flurry of news is too coincidentally timed. β
"Yes, yes, yes, I think it's very likely that someone is taking the lead. β
"Actually, I've heard about small things, such as the Qatar Investment Authority, the largest shareholder of the London Stock Exchange, which appeared in the hot discussion of the Hong Kong-London merger, which seems to have changed hands for a while. β
"It also came out of nowhere in the past two days. β
"Not only that, but the overlap rate of the identities of the shareholders of the two major exchanges in Hong Kong and London is very high, and it seems that both have influence. β
ββ¦β¦β
In fact, everyone is basically pretending to be confused.
Ning Yan could also see that this was another form of disguised touting.
It's just that there is no definite result of this matter now, and the discussion will naturally not be very deep.
These can be summed up in one sentence, we all know how much you have contributed to this world, Mr. Ning, and this is probably what it means......
ββ¦β¦β
When he was about to eat, Lin Mian suddenly spoke:
"I've opened a new cold art space next door, so it's inconvenient for everyone to have a show for a while?"
"It's just a small fight, and compared to other nightclub spaces, it's more suitable for a small gathering of friends. β
ββ¦β¦β
Wang Si had no opinion.
Including Ji Ting, Ma Manman, Wen Xi, Liu Chuxiao, Yan Zhi.
Ning Yan, who originally said that he didn't want to go to nightclubs and bars anymore, simply followed the trend.
At least this is a field opened by insiders.
After all, there will be no unpleasant things.
Right next to the Four Seasons Hotel, good location, absolutely downtown area of Pengcheng.
The name is a bit of a trend, using ambiguous English characters, and it may not mean anything.
Right!
Almost most bars and nightclubs want that kind of ambiguous style.
The exterior dΓ©cor is a little more interesting.
The effect of the lighting does not give people any blurry feeling, but it does reveal a cold amorous feeling.
"Please come in ......"
Lin Mian led in front.
What is different is that the reservation system is adopted, so the front desk is not crowded and mumbled like any bar that Ning Yan has been to.
Lin Mian explained: "I just opened, I didn't plan to publicize it, I just played casually." β
The style of the interior is not even as strong as the nightclub style of the W Hotel.
"Is this a way to lead a different kind of nightlife?"
Wang Si looked left and right, and finally asked.
"There's no noisy heavy metal, no deliberately dark environments, and no DJs yet, so it doesn't feel like a nightclub. β
"I feel that way, too, and it's cold. β
"It's about one or two thousand square meters, which is very loose, and if you change the wine on the table to a dish, it will probably be mistaken for a restaurant. β
"It's a little new, but it's not at all like your Lin Mian's style. β
ββ¦β¦β
After Lin Mian took everyone to find a 'noble' card seat and sat down, he explained: "I'm also fooling around. β
"Now the homogenization is too serious, it's not interesting, I'll do an anti-routine. β
ββ¦β¦β
Ning Yan: "......"
Not to mention, this is the doctrine that Lin Mian came up with.
He hadn't forgotten Lin Mian's outstanding vision in these aspects.
To be honest, Ning Yan eats this anti-routine.
What he wants, this bar can provide.
No rough and noisy music, no manic DJs, no slow rocking, no smoky lights, but definitely not that bright color.
There are also many white-legged young ladies.
The most important thing is that the design of the booth is very good, and it can not disturb each other.
Anyway...... Ning Yan thought it was very good
But today I came to cheer, Ning Yan didn't hesitate, waved his hand and said to the waiter: "Let's take a hundred bottles of Ace of Spades first." β
The main thing is that Lin Mian is very interesting, and no one even knows that he is the boss.
That's why there is a waiter to serve.
The waiter's atmospheric order for Ning Yan was not strange at all, after all, Wang Si was there.
After the drink was delivered, Ning Yan's cup was replaced with a drop of gold, which was Wenxi's handiwork, not in the bar, but it was in her car.
Then the booth was surrounded by young ladies......
(1): It's pure fabrication, Xiao Ma seems to have clarified that all the relevant family information that broke out on the Internet is fake.
