Chapter 355
Li Xi raised the wine glass in his hand at Feng Xiaolan, meaning that you guessed right.
The two girls were full of interest and suddenly became interested. Xue Ming's face was not very good-looking, and he felt that Li Xi had overshadowed his limelight.
Selling fruits, in such a social circle, is really not a very decent profession. BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND OF FRUIT YOU SELL, IF YOU SELL THE QUEEN MOTHER PEACH, I AM AFRAID THAT THE WHOLE WORLD WILL WANT TO KNEEL TO YOU.
Of course, the fruit of life cannot be compared with the queen mother peach, but its high-end positioning at the beginning and the extremely difficult attributes have made this fruit smoothly enter the upper class.
Like this kind of upper-class character, everyone is extremely well-informed, especially compared with ordinary people, they can always inquire about some things that ordinary people can't hear.
But no one knows where this kind of life fruit comes from, and no one has ever seen a life fruit tree.
Even, before that, these people had never even heard of such trees. But the taste of this fruit gives people the feeling that the name is very vivid, and it is the most suitable for this fruit.
Many people have investigated the conditions of these people in the upper class, but they can't investigate it at all, although this kind of fruit can be eaten at the Tianyu Hotel, but it can be eaten until it is eaten, even Liu Zuohai himself has never seen the fruit tree of life.
What's more, his keen sense of smell in business naturally let him know the importance of protecting trade secrets, and it is naturally impossible to leak the source of the fruits of life.
So that this fruit passes through the gods more and more, and at the same time, it is this mysterious existence that makes these elites of the upper class more and more eager to go.
Under this premise, when Feng Xiaolan and Yang Yuzhen heard that Li Xi was selling the fruit of life, the surprise in their hearts could be imagined.
Yang Yuzhen couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Mr. Li, could it be that the fruit of life in Tianyu Hotel is what you provided to them?"
In addition to the Tianyu Hotel, so far. There is no other place to buy it. Therefore, Yang Yuzhen thought that Li Xi provided it to Tianyu Hotel, rather than Li Xi purchasing goods from Tianyu Hotel.
Li Xi replied very tactfully, "I am quite familiar with Tianyu's boss." ”
As soon as the two girls heard this, they immediately realized the hidden meaning of his words.
Feng Xiaolan asked. "Mr. Li, where did you get the results of your life, can you tell us? As far as I know, many people have investigated the results of your life. But nothing came of it. I have never found the place where the fruits of life grow. ”
"Hehe!" Li Xi smiled, "It is still relatively difficult to plant a tree like the fruit of life. ”
This is not a lie, the growth cycle of human fruit is very different from ordinary trees, after all, it is a relatively high-end miscellaneous tree. If it is not promoted, it will take at least five or six or even seven or eight years from flowering and fruiting to maturity before a single crop of fruit can grow.
Even if ordinary people can get seedlings of human fruit, they want to plant them into mature trees. It will take decades, and then it will blossom and bear fruit, and in a lifetime, you will not be able to eat the fruits of life a few times.
It can be said that this kind of fruit is not something that ordinary people can grow using ordinary methods.
Moreover, the point is that the planting of fruit trees is not the same as the ripening of fruits. Basically, there is no way to help the seedlings grow.
The two girls didn't mind learning more about life outcomes from Li Xi, and Yang Yuzhen asked, "It sounds like it will take many years to grow." ”
"Growing up is one thing. It takes six or seven years for a tree to bloom and bear fruit in one cycle. Li Xi understated.
When the two women heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, and it was the first time they had heard of trees that would take six or seven years to grow a stubble of fruit. I can't help but be surprised.
Xue Ming was overshadowed by Li Xi, especially the attention of the two women, and he was a little angry in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but take the words away, and he was stupid, "It will take seven or eight years for a stubble of fruit, isn't it that after this year, I will never be able to eat it again." ”
"Hehe!" Li Xi smiled and didn't answer.
The two girls had already understood what he meant, so they silently picked up their glasses and took a sip of wine.
Xue Ming came to his senses, knowing that he was speechless, his face was a little unbearable, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"I see. Yang Yuzhen broke the embarrassment, "Mr. Li, you must have seen the fruit tree of life?"
Li Xi nodded lightly.
Feng Xiaolan smiled and asked, "I don't know what that human fruit tree looks like?"
"It's not easy to describe, it's just like ordinary trees. ”
The topic of the three of them has been revolving around the fruit tree of life, Xue Ming couldn't interject, stood for a while, said sorry, and walked away.
The two girls continued to pull Li Xi to speak, they were interested in the fruits of life, and they also became a little interested in Li Xi, Yang Yuzhen was better, and Feng Xiaolan gestured to Li Xi several times.
From the other party's expression, Li Xi vaguely felt that as long as he resigned a little, he could spend a good night with this beautiful woman tonight.
Yang Yuzhen vaguely seemed to see this, and smiled at Li Xi in a restrained manner. The relationship between the two women seems to be good, so that although Yang Yuzhen was originally very curious about Li Xi, when she saw Feng Xiaolan's expression, her enthusiasm for Li Xi was slightly reduced.
Feng Xiaolan threw away the lady's cigarette and invited Li Xi to dance.
Li Xi was a little conflicted in his heart, not that he was hypocritical, nor that he was not interested in this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, but compared with the two women, if he really had to choose one of the two, he would still prefer to choose the younger Yang Yuzhen.
Moreover, not to mention, he came to the banquet this time, he came with Bai Wenyan, even if something was going to happen, it seemed that the impact on Bai Wenyan should be considered.
I have to say that he still attends this kind of banquet less often. Usually at such a banquet, in addition to the husband and wife, it does not matter who comes with whom, what matters is who walks with whom.
And everyone pursues pleasure, and the more acquaintances they are, the less likely that that kind of thing will happen. Once it happens, it will be an embarrassment in the future, and it will even affect the future relationship.
It's strangers, you and I like it, and when you're done, you go away, each takes what you need, as if it hadn't happened, and no one will affect anyone's life.
It's much more comfortable than with acquaintances.
Li Xizheng didn't know whether to agree or not. But suddenly, someone patted him lightly on the shoulder and greeted him in surprise, "Mr. Li, it turns out that you are here." ”
The tone was unusually respectful.
Li Xi turned around. Seeing that it was Huang Sanliang, he was surprised: "Hey, Director Huang, you are also here." ”
Huang Sanliang's social circle is much better than Li Xiguang's, although he is not familiar with these two ladies. But they all know each other, in fact, there are only so many people in the circle of high society in the city, even if they don't know each other, it's impossible.
Don't look at this banquet, there are more than 200 people.
But more than 200 people, in fact, a small half of them are from other places, of course, people in the local circle. There are also some in the field.
It's just that it is really not easy to gather more than 200 people at one time. For an ordinary banquet, it would be nice to have more than 100 people.
Of course, more than 100 people are the guests, and the rest of the service staff is much more. But even so, the number of service personnel at this banquet in Yan Zhaohua's house is still quite large.
Huang Sanliang greeted the two women. The two girls were quite curious that he actually knew Li Xi. At the same time, from Huang Sanliang's attitude towards Li Xi, he became more and more curious about Li Xi's identity.
To know. Huang Sanliang's current attitude is not just as simple as being respectful, but even a little flattery.
Vaguely, this kind of hiding has an attitude that can be clearly seen, as long as it is a person, almost all of them can be seen. Not to mention, the women who appear at such a banquet are basically human spirits, how can there be no reason why they can't be seen?
Yang Yuzhen couldn't help but ask, "Director Huang, how did you and Mr. Li meet?"
"Hehe!" Huang Sanliang smiled and said vaguely: "Mr. Li once did me a small favor, and he can be regarded as my life-saving benefactor." ”
The life-saving benefactor is not counted, but Huang Sanliang does know a lot of things from Li Xi. Especially when his ex-wife went over to get some money from him, when Tuomeng told him about the situation of the underworld, she deliberately said it more seriously.
In addition, coupled with the accumulated sins and karma over a long period of time, Huang Sanliang was also deeply frightened in his heart.
Even, after knowing the value of his sinful karma, Huang Sanliang's way of doing things has also changed a little. In the domestic film and art circle, the ghost knows what is going on.
All kinds of unspoken rules, all kinds of insider trading, more or less, will have a certain impact. For this reason, Huang Sanliang has even begun to develop completely abroad.
"Help?" As soon as the two girls heard this, they immediately became more interested, and Feng Xiaolan smiled: "It turns out that Mr. Li still has this kind of ability? I don't know what Director Huang means by saving his life? Director Huang, are you sick?"
"Sort of. Huang Sanliang said: "Anyway, Mr. Li's medical skills are like a god. ”
After dealing with the two women for a few words, without waiting for the two to continue asking, Huang Sanliang reached out and grabbed Li Yi's arm, and said courteously: "Mr. Li, I'll help you introduce a few people." ”
Then he smiled apologetically at the two girls, "I'm sorry, two ladies, I'm going to borrow Mr. Li." ”
The two girls didn't say much, so they let the two of them do their own thing.
Huang Sanliang pulled Li Xi and turned around to introduce a few people not far away.
These people are obviously in the same circle as Huang Sanliang. A few men are directors, and a few young and beautiful women are actors, but they are not particularly popular.
As a public figure, such a banquet, especially one of this level, is something that will not be missed no matter what.
Although celebrities rely on FEN silk to eat, if they want to act in movies, especially in such an environment, for those female stars who are not particularly famous and can only be ranked in the second line, what really needs to be knotted is first of all investors, and then it is the turn of directors and producers.
Therefore, it is the director and the actors, except for those who have signed a contract with a specific company and all the activities must be arranged by the company, it is the occasion where they are looking for investment with the script.
There are many rich people at the banquet, whether they play tickets or really want to invest, and they want to get a foot in this industry.
Get to know a few more of these people, and there will be no problem with splicing.
Huang Sanliang helped to introduce it, several directors have heard of it, but several actresses have debuted in the past two years, so they are not very familiar with it, but they have also heard of it.
In fact, in recent years, since graduation, Li Xi has basically stopped watching domestic movies and TV series.
Before getting the book, more time is still spent playing games and occasionally reading novels. There is very little time to pay attention to the news and gossip in the entertainment industry.
After getting the book, I don't have the heart to care about these things.
Whether it is a few actresses or directors, when Huang Sanliang introduced Li Xi to them, his expression was somewhat strange.
The characters of the upper class in the city, for their public figures, even if they can't do it, are vivid.
Li Xi, but no one has heard of it.
Huang Sanliang was full of interest and admired him very much, which made everyone else feel a little weird for a while.
But in a short period of time, before Huang Sanliang really explained Li Xi's true identity, it was difficult for these people to know Li Xi's true origin.
A few people said a few words, and they were generally what they had been doing lately. Originally, these people were talking together, but since Li Xi joined in, it obviously gave them a feeling that they were not in a circle. So much so that in the end, everyone was talking to Li Xi alone.
There will be no change in the way of speaking, and at this kind of banquet, basically, the main topic is to introduce yourself to each other, brag to each other, what amazing things you have done during this time.
This kind of boasting was originally the custom of banquets.
Several directors mentioned the newly obtained scripts, and deliberately boasted about how good their scripts were, and if someone was willing to invest in it, they would definitely be able to get a high profit when it was filmed.
As for several actresses, they basically came with the director, and the purpose of coming is needless to say that they are helping to beat the side drums, hoping to find the wronged ones who are willing to invest.
If necessary, even if there is a dew YIN.
Huang Sanliang introduced Li Xi so solemnly, these directors naturally made a mistake, and when they couldn't guess Li Xi's identity, they regarded him as a nouveau riche who could be blackmailed.
Some directors even vaguely proposed that Li Xi could invest in his script.
The actress who came with him helped the fire, hugged Li Xi's arm with both hands, and rubbed the bulge on his arm with the bulge on his chest, hoping that Li Xi would consider this investment.
But when Li Xi said that he had no intention of investing in movies in a short period of time, the faces of several directors were suddenly undisguised disappointed, and several actresses suddenly lost their enthusiasm for Li Yi's attitude.
It may seem impersonal, but that's exactly what it is. (To be continued.) )
