It's a man.

A handsome middle-aged man, wearing a neat black suit, meticulously combed hair, and a radiant appearance, although he is not young, he looks so handsome.

When Lorraine saw this man, she faintly felt a faint coercion, this coercion is not something ordinary people can have! At least, even the best of the young people like the four young people in the capital can't have it. Who is this?

Similar feelings...... Lorraine is only in ...... Yes, I only faintly noticed it on Han Zhennan, who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Realizing this, Lorraine smiled slightly, he knew who it was.

This person should be the eldest son of the old man Song of the Song family - Song Shichang.

Regarding the deeds of Song Shichang, in the circle of wealthy families in the capital, they are also being told one by one. This is a talent, and his talent and mind can be respected by his peers and juniors, and even deeply appreciated by the elders. But alas......

He is not an emperor's talent, but a full military advisor.

To put it in layman's terms, he does not have the ability to lead the family, but he has the ability to thrive the family. This is also the main reason why Old Man Song did not choose him as the second-generation head of the family, but directly pre-selected the reserve personnel of the third-generation head of the family.

Old Man Song is a ghost talent, which is almost known to everyone in the capital.

But helplessly, the children under his knees do not have few outstanding talents, of course, as a resource for marriage, everyone in the Song family has done a good job. Take Song Meiyuan's father as an example, that guy is the second son of the second generation of the Song family, if you want to talk about ability, then there is still a little bit of ability, otherwise how can you run part of the family affairs? But that's about it. In the second generation, only this eldest son, Song Shichang, can be regarded as a character.

Then, he can't be the second-generation head of the Song family, and his son is on a tailwind.

His son is Song Zhihan.

There are many more about the situation of the Song family, so I won't go into detail here.

In short, whenever there is a large-scale Song family banquet to invite guests from various wealthy families, it is generally Song Shichang who is the first to come forward to preside over and be active, and even speak.

Now at seven o'clock, the birthday dinner has begun, but the most important person, Old Man Song, in order to show the difference of his identity, naturally cannot show up so early. After all, there are still many heirs of big families who have not yet arrived!

At least, the representatives of the four giants in Beijing have not yet arrived.

Song Shichang slowly walked down the spiral staircase in the shape of a goat's horn step by step, holding a goblet of red wine with good color in his hand, facing every guest present in the banquet hall, showing a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, with majesty and a trace of harmony.

Just at the first glance, Lorraine could perceive: this Song Shichang, the real strength, is definitely his mind.

This is a master of tricks.

I am afraid that there will be more than 50 people who will come to celebrate the birthday tonight, but only about 40 people are present at present, and it is obvious that some representatives sent by relatively large families have not been present. And Song Shichang is not angry about this. Because these people who have not yet arrived must be figures from wealthy families of the same level as the Song family or stronger than the Song family.

For example, the four giants, such as the Han family, such as the ......

As I said before, about the order of early and late arrivals, this is very particular, in the hierarchical circle of wealthy families in Beijing, this is a means to show status and status, and it is an unspoken rule. If you don't play according to this unspoken rule, it will make people suspicious.

For example, if tonight is Lorraine's father's fiftieth birthday.

A person from a high-level wealthy family like that should arrive within half an hour of the evening after the specific start time of the dinner party, which is considered normal. But if a figure from a wealthy family, such as Shen Zheyu, is present to celebrate his birthday on behalf of the Shen family, if he arrives on time or in advance, it is as if he is telling all the guests present a message: Luo's Group is a close friend of my Shen family, our Shen family attaches great importance to the relationship with the Luo family, and in the future, we will definitely have a lot of intimate cooperation.

Look, this is these seemingly boring, but actually very suggestive rules in the circle of wealthy families.

If you don't understand these rules, then you are not qualified to enter a wealthy family, and even if you do, you will be regarded as an ignorant little hairy man.

But...... Lorraine didn't have the slightest disdain for this bullshit unspoken rule. It's not that he doesn't understand, but he understands too deeply, and he hates it. He thought that if one day, his Luo family became the top wealthy family in the capital, he would not abide by this set of rules. Even if it is the birthday of the old birthday star of an exotic nouveau riche family, as long as he wants to go, he will definitely arrive on time, or even early. If he didn't bother to attend, even if the other party was holding a birthday dinner in Zhongnanhai, he wouldn't go at all.

That's the way Lorraine does things.

He felt that the rules of these wealthy Chinese families were boring, because ...... In his opinion, Huaxia Kingdom does not have a wealthy family in the true sense of the word.

Think about it, a country that has just gotten rid of feudal rule for just over a hundred years, a country that has just escaped the invasion of empires and wars, a country that was still engaged in cultural pits 30 years ago, and a country that has experienced hardships and natural disasters such as eating tree bark and digging dung for only a few decades, how many wealthy families in the real sense can there be?

I cherish my broom!

On the other hand, those capitalist countries in Europe and the United States are like the United States, although they have only been founded for more than 200 years, they are ...... They have always been winners in their history. Other countries are at war, but they are selling arms and making a lot of money.

After one or two hundred years or even four or five generations of inheritance and development, how strong will the assets and power accumulated by the wealthy families on their side be? Unthinkable! -- The wealthy family financed to support the new president to take the throne, which is not a joke at all!

And on the long journey of Lorraine in the future, one day, I will finally be able to come into contact with the extremely large transcendent family strength at this level, and I will also deeply understand their horror......

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Back to the present, Lorraine has to start from the soles of his feet, first of all, he is just the nouveau riche heir of a small foreign family. The capital used to struggle in hand is just a new business idea.

To quote a famous saying, it is: This is a man, rice, to eat one bite at a time, the road, to walk step by step, the step is too big, it is easy to pull the egg.

And now, what Lorraine must do now is to try his best to win over the ambiguous family power of the Song family, hoping to contain the commercial invasion of the powerful four young men in the capital.

"Welcome to our Song family's head of the 70th birthday dinner of Mr. Song, I, Song Shichang, on behalf of my father, on behalf of the Song family, thank you for coming and cheering. This cup is my toast to you! ”

Before the words fell, Song Shichang, who had already reached the center of the dinner at the end of the spiral staircase, smiled at everyone and drank the wine in his hand as a way to pay respect.

All the wealthy guests present also smiled and toasted, selling Song Shichang this face. Both men and women bring wine glasses to their lips. Men, whether they can drink or not, have at least half a glass of wine, and even ladies who can't drink have a sip of wine as a sign of respect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Old Man Song is resting because he is unwell, and he will need to come out to meet you after a while. ――Please feel free to do so for the rest of the day. Speaking of which, the surface form had been finished, Song Shichang smiled and poured the wine in the wine glass, put it on the wine table decorated with a long golden tablecloth, and turned around and left the banquet room.

Everyone knows that the reason why Mr. Song really did not show up was that the guests at the scene had not yet arrived, and some family representatives with noble status had not yet arrived to celebrate his birthday, so it was not appropriate for Mr. Song to come forward to meet guests. Everyone didn't break it, nodded with a smile, and sent Song Shichang to retreat.

Then, the music sounded, and the lights in the banquet room were faintly dimmed, which was mixed with a hint of golden shimmering tones, with the main colors of the scene's happy ** color, joyful, extravagant, Lang man, dreamy.

I know that most of the guests present tonight are some young wealthy heirs, so the layout of the atmosphere is also ingenious.

When the atmosphere was there, everyone did not stand or sit, but gathered together in waves, talking and laughing happily, and their voices couldn't help but increase a little, and some of them were cheerful, and they actually laughed loudly. -- Among the heirs of wealthy families, there is no shortage of bold people, just like Han Zhennan, the third "business king" of the Han family, is famous for his boldness. Even the old man Song of the Song family, when he treats the guests, he has a bold smile.

"Xiaolin, you can walk around here first, if you can, chat a few more words with these guests present, maybe there will be some speculation, right?" At this moment, Qin Wanshu put down the goblet in her hand, and then smiled at Lorraine and said, "I'll leave first and go upstairs to find your Aunt Song." ”

"Shh Lorraine reluctantly put her hand on her mouth when she heard this, "Don't say 'Auntie' anymore, make me look very small." And isn't that calling you old? ”

"As far as you can say. Okay, let's not talk about it, Xiaolin, I'll see you in a while. Qin Wanshu chuckled lightly and turned to leave.

After Qin Wanshu left, Lorraine was a little bored, he glanced at the guests on the scene with his big eyes, and he found that few of them could become friends, let alone allies. No wonder the families behind these characters can't be compared with the top wealthy families in the capital, most of the families are these mediocre talents, and the future is worrying.

Boredom took a sip of wine, Lorraine paced gently on the left side of the banquet room with elegant and steady steps, and the walls were full of huge oil paintings, mostly fakes of famous European and American paintings during the literary and artistic period, but from the perspective of painting style and means, the author's attainments are definitely not low.

However, at this moment, Lorraine suddenly heard a slightly rapid footsteps behind him, slowly approaching him.

"Huh?" Lorraine, who had a keen sense of hearing, frowned slightly, and subconsciously turned her head away.
