Chapter 298: The Beginning of the Dinner Party
Because of Xu Shengzhe's appearance, Li Dong's situation has improved a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although it is impossible to fully integrate into this invisible circle in a short period of time, at least everyone is not as repulsive as Li Dong was at the beginning.
Seeing that the time for the party was approaching, Xu Shengzhe said: "Li Dong, let's go in together." ā
Li Dong nodded and walked forward parallel to Xu Shengzhe.
As soon as I entered the building, someone trotted behind me like a gust of wind.
Watching the figure pass over him, a different color flashed in Li Dong's eyes, not to mention that the people who came tonight were all celebrities, at least they were successful people.
On such an occasion, who made such a gaffe?
Just as he was thinking about it, the figure that had already run in front of Li Dong suddenly stopped.
Then the man turned his head to look at Li Dong, with a look of joy on his face, and shouted, "Li Dong, are you here too?"
Li Dong saw the man with a stiffness on his face.
It took a long time for Li Dong to speak: "That...... Rui, why are you here?"
It was no one else in front of her, it was the yellow-haired girl who helped Li Dong smash the store last time.
Li Dong didn't know the specific name, but he heard others call her Xiaorui, so Li Dong shouted the same.
If someone else made a move just now and seemed out of shape, then Xiaorui would be a little natural to make this kind of move.
This yellow-haired girl is not ordinarily bold, and her curiosity is not ordinarily heavy, she even does the thing of smashing the car smoothly, and trotting in a crowded place is nothing.
Hearing Li Dong call out his name, Xiaorui said excitedly: "Li Dong, I'm also here to attend the party! You're here too, great, I'll tell you......"
Xiaorui didn't treat Li Dong as an outsider, and began to talk about it.
Li Dong listened carefully with a smile on his face, compared to Chen Rui's people, Xiaorui is obviously a scheming person, and Li Dong also likes to deal with this kind of person.
Although this girl looks like a gangster, in fact, she is just an adolescent rebellion, and she is not a bad person.
Maybe it was because they did bad things together last time, Xiaorui took Li Dong as her own as a matter of course, and shouted as she walked: "Li Dong, I saw that old guy from Qi Guanghe when I came in, and his son, how about we smash their car again after the party is over?"
Li Dong couldn't stop laughing.
Xu Shengzhe, who was next to him, also couldn't cry or laugh, and interrupted: "Hu Xiaorui, pay attention to the occasion." ā
Xiao Rui seemed to have just noticed Xu Shengzhe, and only turned to look at him when he spoke, and then pouted and muttered, "Xu Da traitor, why are you here too?"
"Xu Da traitor?"
Li Dong coughed dryly, almost bursting out laughing.
Xu Shengzhe's face was full of black lines, his smile was restrained, and he ignored Hu Xiaorui.
Hu Xiaorui didn't care either, seeing that Li Dong was interested, he hurriedly explained with a smile: "This guy is a big traitor, have you read "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview"? Do you see that he doesn't look like He Shen when he smiles all day long? Is He Shen a traitor?"
Li Dong couldn't help but smile and nodded.
Seeing this, Hu Xiaorui became interested, and said: "And this guy has a bad reputation in the circle, and he often sinks people, Li Dong, don't be yin by him." ā
"Hu Xiaorui!"
Xu Shengzhe was a little angry, he no longer talked and laughed just now, and said angrily: "You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, do you understand? Also, this is a charity party, you are a non-mainstream, you want money or not, you want kindness or not kindness, who let you come?"
"Hmph, who said I don't have any money, let me tell you, I came today to do good deeds. ā
Hu Xiaorui looked proud, and said with a smile: "I asked my father for 10,000 yuan a few days ago, but I haven't spent it for a long time, so I'm waiting to donate it today." ā
"Are you embarrassed about 10,000 yuan?"
"Why are you embarrassed, who stipulates that you must spend a lot of money to do good deeds? Li Dong, do you say?"
Li Dong's ridiculous smile narrowed slightly, and Zhengse said: "That's true, it doesn't matter how much money you have, what matters is that Xiaorui can think of doing good deeds and giving love, that's enough." ā
Hu Xiaorui was very proud, patted Li Dong's shoulder with her feet, and said proudly: "Li Dong, I like you like this." Xu Da traitor has a little money, don't learn from him, I will treat you as a friend in the future. ā
"Well, I ......"
Before Li Dong could finish speaking, a soft shout came from behind him, "Xiaorui, what's the trouble, go in!"
As soon as Hu Xiaorui heard this voice, she quickly stuck out her tongue.
stopped chatting with Li Dong anymore, Hu Xiaorui hurriedly said to Li Dong: "My dad is here, I'm leaving, Li Dong, remember to wait for me when the party is over, and go smash the car together!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaorui hurriedly trotted away.
Li Dong looked back, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties hurriedly walked over, and the soft shout just now came from him.
Seeing Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe, the man nodded slightly, and then hurriedly chased after Hu Xiaorui where he disappeared.
Seeing this, Xu Shengzhe said in a low voice: "Hu Ming, the boss of NARI Group. ā
"NARI Group ......"
Li Dong muttered in a low voice, NARI Group knew that it was mainly engaged in textile and foreign trade business.
In the past few years, the textile industry was quite popular, and NARI Group also became big during that time.
But in recent years, the textile industry has been sluggish, and NARI Group has been struggling.
Last time, Chen Rui also helped Li Dong introduce business and buy a building, and what he wanted to buy was the Yonghua Building of NARI Group.
Of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the NARI Group is in a recession, its total assets now exceed one billion, not to mention the average small company, even the current distance is far inferior.
Moreover, NARI Group has recently been restructured, focusing on foreign trade.
The foreign trade industry is still very profitable, and NARI Group has obviously succeeded, because when Li Dong was reborn in his previous life, NARI Group not only did not collapse, but also became one of the top 100 enterprises in Jiangbei.
Thinking that Hu Xiaorui was the daughter of the CEO of NARI Group, Li Dong laughed a little.
Before Li Dong saw Hu Xiaorui following Chen Ruiming, Li Dong thought she was an official lady of which family, but he didn't expect that she was actually a rich second generation.
No wonder this girl is so bold, and she is not as scheming as Chen Rui and others.
People from official families, no matter how messy they are, they still have some scheming in their hearts, even if it is Shen Qian.
Only the noble lady who came out of the shopping mall, because she has been doting since she was a child, can be unscrupulous and have a flying personality.
Of course, anything is possible in these days, and you can't generalize.
Because of Hu Xiaorui's interruption, the party is about to start.
Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe did not delay any longer, and walked along the red carpet and the flow of people to the No. 2 studio hall.
When I entered the door, there were several hostesses standing at the door of the hall.
Seeing Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe coming, two hostesses in cheongsams on the side greeted them.
But there were still people who were faster than them, and before Miss Manners could say anything, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses walked out.
As soon as he saw Li Dong and the others, the man smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, hello." I'm Hong Hao from TV, and welcome to you. ā
Li Dong and the others nodded and said politely.
Hong Hao didn't say much, after all, there were still people to receive people coming and going, and it was impossible to hold on to the two talking.
Seeing a familiar face coming from behind, Hong Hao turned to Miss Etiquette and said, "Take Mr. Li and them to table No. 12, and take Mr. Xu and them to table No. 6." ā
The two hostesses answered at the same time, and then looked at the two of them with a little eagerness.
Others may not know, but they know that this seat number is not a random arrangement.
The dinner was hosted by the Department of Civil Affairs, which is also an official organization, and seniority has become the norm.
Table No. 1 is reserved for leaders, and no matter whether the leader comes or not, this table will not be given to others.
Table 2 and Table 3 are reserved for the other two organizers, the TV station and the media group, they are the masters, so they naturally have to come first.
And table No. 6 can be said to be the VIP among the VIPs who came today, and they know better that it is reserved for Longhua Group.
No matter who Xu Shengzhe is from Longhua Group, today he came on behalf of Longhua Group, obviously his identity is not simple, if he can catch such a golden beetle son-in-law, even if it is only a spring breeze, the benefits are inexhaustible.
Of course, Li Dong at table 12 is not bad.
Although it is not as good as Longhua, among the companies that come to the dinner, it is a large company in the distance.
The two hostesses enthusiastically led everyone to sit down, and although there were no discharge eyes along the way, that kind of look was enough to explain everything.
Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe are not used to seeing each other, and they don't say anything.
Table No. 6 and Table No. 12, there are two tables in between, Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe are separated and seated separately.
Li Dong sat down, Sun Tao and Wang Yue also sat down at the same time, in addition to the three of them, there was no one sitting on the other half of the table, but there was a nameplate.
Li Dong glanced at it, and it said "Jiangbei Qinghu Co., Ltd."
There are so many Jiangbei companies, and Li Dong naturally can't understand them all.
Sun Tao saw that there was no one on the other side, Li Dong stared at the nameplate again, and said in a low voice: "It is an enterprise that does agricultural trade, with strong strength, and we still have some cooperation." Some of the produce in the supermarket is provided by their company. ā
Li Dong nodded and did not speak.
looked around again, Xu Shengzhe at table 6 and Hu Ming at table 8, he knew these two people, and he didn't need to be introduced.
As for table No. 4, Li Dong didn't know it, but when he saw the nameplate on the table, the people of Jiangbei Nonferrous Metals Group had a lot of money, but he didn't expect the Civil Affairs Department to invite them over.
Table No. 5 is also a large enterprise, Jiangbei Energy Group.
There are a lot of cattle, and the Civil Affairs Department has indeed made a big effort this time, perhaps it was the leaders above who spoke, otherwise these two groups should not have appeared here.
Seeing that these two companies are in front of Longhua, it is not surprising that Li Dong is not surprised.
Although Longhua is the real estate overlord in Jiangbei, compared with these two, it is still a big deal, and the total assets of the people are hundreds of billions, the real industry overlord.
Then Li Dong looked around again, some knew and some didn't.
Among the people I know, there are some people who are not in the business district.
For example, Yang Si has done commercial performances for Li Dong's distant place before, and she is considered a second-tier star or above, and a local star in Pingchuan, so she also came over this time.
Li Dong actually knows a star, Li Qian.
But I don't know if Li Qian is not qualified or didn't come today, or is preparing to perform behind the stage, anyway, Li Dong didn't see it.
In the studio, there are many businessmen and stars, which is also the main force of donations for the party.
People in the government are rare, after all, this is a charity party, not to mention that the officials have no money, and they dare not come over if they have money, except for a few staff members of the Civil Affairs Department who are receiving guests everywhere, and they also see people from several other organizers.
The party said that it would start at seven o'clock, but because the people did not arrive, it was delayed for a while.
Around seven o'clock, the host on the stage patted the microphone.
The male host said loudly: "Love Su An!"
The hostess continued: "Great love knows no bounds!"
"Distinguished leaders and distinguished guests......"
The host introduced the theme of today's party and introduced the organizers respectively.
The next step is not a show, but a short film for everyone in the studio to watch.
The film is about Monkey Head Mountain, which has been ravaged by floods and mudslides.
Filthy cities, flood-soaked houses, floating wreckage, pale corpses, blank eyes of despair, dirty children......
This scene made the usually hard-hearted businessmen soft-hearted.
Some female celebrities and businessmen couldn't help but sob.
In the era of peace, they never thought that the Monkey Head Mountain would be such a scene after the flood.
Wang Yue, who was beside Li Dong, also had slightly red eyes, bit his lip tightly and didn't speak. Especially seeing a little girl soaked and covered in mud in the short film holding her dead father and not letting go, Wang Yue couldn't help crying.
Although Li Dong knew that this was the organizer's attempt to arouse everyone's sympathy, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the clips in the short film.
This is just a flash flood, and the disaster is only in the area of Monkey Head Mountain.
Even so, the damage and losses caused are untold and the number of people who have lost their lives and gone missing.
Thinking about the earthquake two years later, it was only a vague impression in Li Dong's mind before, but now it is clear.
Miserable, miserable.
Compared with today's Monkey Head Mountain, the disaster two years later is a hundred times more tragic than today.
Just when Li Dong was distracted, the short film ended.
The studio was quiet, and the low sobs of women could still be faintly heard.
But after all, they are all adults, and they are all successful people, and the impact of emotions is only temporary.
Soon, in the host's explanation, everyone returned to normal.
The party is mainly divided into three stages, the first stage, charity auction.
The auction items are mainly provided by some caring people or enterprises, and there are a few special items that are of high value and are also the finale of tonight.
In the second stage, enterprises or individuals walk the red carpet to donate.
At this stage, enterprises or individuals can sign a donation agreement on the spot, and there will be a leader of the organizer tonight to issue donation certificates to enterprises and individuals.
Then came the third stage, the dinner.
Since it is a charity dinner, the organizer will naturally not be reluctant to eat, and of course, what everyone cares about is not a meal.
But at the dinner, there will be leaders from the province who will come to attend.
It is not the leadership of the Civil Affairs Department, but the real leadership of the provincial party committee, which is the main reason why so many enterprises will come today. (To be continued.) )
