Chapter 131. Toast without eating and eating penalty wine
Ding-dong, ding-dong-
I don't know how long it took, Lin Yi was awakened by a doorbell in a nightmare.
Covered in cold sweat, the whole person was as energetic as a noodle, and finally got up and got out of bed, Lin Yi walked over and opened the door, but saw Han Meimei standing outside, and said to him with a smile, It's time for lunch, and the company has chartered a banquet in the Chinese restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
Just when Lin Yi thought that she was going to leave after the notice, she saw that Han Meimei was a little embarrassed and stuffed the bag of things she was carrying to him and said that she bought it for him and hung up on the company's account.
Lin Yi saw that it was a brand-name suit, as if he was afraid that Lin Yi would have any misunderstanding or hurt his self-esteem, so Han Meimei explained that this was for the sake of the company's image, so he didn't have to take it to heart.
Han Meimei thought too much.
Lin Yi never thinks that this kind of thing hurts his self-esteem, others pay for you to buy good clothes, this is a good thing, if it happens all year round, it will be even better.
……
Lin Yi looked at himself in the mirror, really people want to dress Buddha and gold, wearing these tens of thousands of suits, Lin Yi immediately felt that he was much more handsome.
Although it is not a sword eyebrow star, it is also a beautiful eyebrow, and the face of today's book hunting industry is responsible; Especially this black straight suit, it seems to be tailor-made for Lin Yi, and the folded handkerchief on his chest makes him as chic and handsome as the hero in a Korean drama.
After briefly tidying up his appearance, Lin Yi left the room and came to the Chinese restaurant on the second floor according to the hotel index.
At the door of the restaurant, a female greeter wearing a cheongsam with a bewitching figure picked up, Lin Yi smiled and thanked him, and under the guidance of the female greeter, he came to the restaurant hall inside.
I saw that the dining room was very large, the blue marble floor tiles were smooth enough to reflect people, the ceiling was hung with gorgeous chandeliers, and the dozens of sandalwood round tables in the hall were covered with white and green tablecloths, which looked neat and elegant. In Lin Yi's opinion, it is definitely magnificent.
When Lin Yi arrived, there were not many people in the restaurant, only Su Xue, Xiong Agent, MP2 Group and others.
For this welcome banquet, Su Xue deliberately wore a blue-purple tight-fitting long skirt, and the belt of the long skirt was slightly tied with butterfly buckles, which made her perfect and slender waist particularly moving. And her fair-skinned, delicate face is even more delicate and incomprehensible against the backdrop of beautiful blue star-shaped earrings, and even her long hair that is carefully coiled up, like a flower, is so delicate and elegant, adding a bit of intellectual atmosphere to her.
The ancients said that beauty is delicious, Lin Yi felt that this sentence was really appropriate for Su Xue, and Su Xue obviously understood this, and even more understood how to exert her charm as a woman, so that the men around her flocked to it.
Clearly, she succeeded.
At this moment, she is surrounded by the bear agent and the crew men, those men have bright eyes, worshipping her like worshipping a goddess, each showing their own humor, you say a word to me, and I don't know what I am talking about, which makes Su Meinu "giggle" from time to time, laughing back and forth.
Although Su Xue was laughing with a large group of men, she was also paying attention to the movements around her, so when Lin Yi walked into the restaurant, she saw Lin Yi at a glance.
However, at the first time, Su Xue didn't recognize it, because Lin Yi was so handsome, Su Xue wondered if she had seen the wrong person.
It wasn't until Lin Yi took the initiative to greet her with a smile that Su Xue was sure that this person was Lin Yi.
Su Xue's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she beckoned Lin Yi to sit with her from afar, but Lin Yi waved her hand. It's not that Lin Yi doesn't like to be lively, but because he really doesn't want to be caught in the middle of a large group of flattering men, it's too boring.
Su Xue didn't expect Lin Yi to refuse her kindness, she was a little disappointed in her heart, and the jokes told by the men in her ears suddenly didn't feel very funny.
Not far away, the general manager Zhu came quite early, with the business representative Han Meimei, who was directing those hotel waiters to do this and that, with their hands behind their backs, looking like a big man. Seeing Lin Yi, Mr. Zhu just nodded slightly, his face was expressionless, and then he didn't care about Lin Yi anymore.
Lin Yi didn't care, he found a quiet position to do it, and his own waiter served him tea.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the three masters of calligraphy and painting, Yue Han, Jiang Dong and Wang Zhen, were late.
Lin Yi sat on the seat and found that Mr. Zhu's originally unsmiling face was immediately full of smiles, and he quickly stepped forward to hold the hands of the three masters and looked up for a long time.
After a while, Weifu paid a private visit, and Xu Dashao, whose true identity no one knew, also came. Mr. Zhu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xu Dashao's slow and late behavior, and glared at him unhappily.
What kind of person is Xu Dashao, he is a big gentleman, and at this moment, he doesn't care about Lao Zhu's inquiring eyes at all, and goes straight to his seat, completely eating and drinking.
This made Mr. Zhu even more angry, in addition to glaring at him, he also snorted coldly in his nose, and said in Cantonese: "Beggar, many people are waiting for you (what, so many people are waiting for you)!" ”
Xu Dashao didn't understand, and he didn't bother to understand, he was not familiar with others, so he directly found Lin Yi to sit at a table with his partner, so as not to be lonely.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Director Zhu waved his hand, and the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.
The banquet officially began.
……
I have to say that this welcome banquet is really sumptuous, good wine and good food are full of big tables, especially the delicacies, basically all of them are full of color and flavor, even the carvings on the plate are also distinctive, the shape is like peonies, chrysanthemums, peonies, beauties, fairies...... Lifelike.
According to the words of the bear agent, this is not food, but art.
Of course, Agent Xiong is not qualified to sit at the same table with Mr. Zhu and others, he sits at a table with his MP2 and several masters from the photography group.
Su Xue, Xiaowei, and the three old men sat at a table with Mr. Zhu.
Lin Yi and Xu Dashao, as well as Han Meimei and several other staff members brought by Mr. Zhu, formed their own faction and sat at another table.
Three tables of food, three tables of people, it seems very loose and very deserted.
As the host, Mr. Zhu hasn't moved his chopsticks yet, and the big guys have endured it, even if his stomach has already growled, he must endure it first, and wait for Mr. Zhu to stand up and say a few words, this is the rule.
Sure enough, after the meal was finished, Mr. Zhu stood up with a small wine glass, first smiled at the three art masters, and said politely: "That, hello everyone!" It's been hard along the way. In particular, the three elderly people who came to Hong Kong from the mainland have worked tirelessly to contribute to cross-strait art exchanges. ”
The three masters, Yue Han, Jiang Dong and Wang Zhen, smiled very modestly and thanked Mr. Zhu for his compliment.
Mr. Zhu continued: "So for this first glass of wine, I would like to first pay tribute to the three seniors, the three respected art masters, thank you for coming to Hong Kong, and thank you for supporting our work." After saying this, Mr. Zhu did it first.
The three masters couldn't refuse, and those who could drink were dry, and those who couldn't drink were also stained on their lips, and there was harmony on the table.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Zhu raised his glass and said that the exhibition activities will start tomorrow, and the masters of Nandu and Hong Kong will gather together to exchange experiences and insights with each other; He also said that the event was sponsored by all walks of life in Hong Kong, and the scale was grand and extraordinary, so that the big guys could get ready and not be underestimated by Hong Kong people; Finally, I wish this event a smooth progress, and I wish the business of Xu's Hong Kong Branch a prosperous future.
The big guys also picked up their glasses and drank them all in their congratulatory speeches.
Tightly, the meal begins.
People who are hungry for a long time devour delicious food, of course, Mr. Zhu's table is very gentle, everyone is very cautious and very reserved regardless of whether they drink or eat.
Xu Dashao doesn't care about this, this guy who is reincarnated by a starving ghost is swept by the wind, and he quickly eats his stomach round. Looking at Lin Yi again, he was still chewing slowly.
It's not that Lin Yi is pretending to be Sven, the problem is that this is his habit of eating, so Xu Dashao laughed at him very unceremoniously: "You eat slower than the girls." ”
Lin Yi smiled and continued to eat.
Compared with Lin Yi and Xu Dashao, Agent Xiong thought that he knew "human feelings" very well, so when he was about to eat, he stood up with a wine glass and toasted Mr. Zhu flatteringly.
Mr. Zhu was very happy, in addition to the first-class kung fu of Xiong Agent, he was a good drinker himself, so he drank one glass after another.
Agent Xiong made a start, and other smart people also followed suit, and began to smile and continue to salute Mr. Zhu with wine.
As the lesbians in the banquet, Su Xue, Xiaowei, and Han Meimei certainly had to take the initiative to express themselves and toast Mr. Zhu with a few glasses of wine.
After saluting here, the three old men were not idle, and they were also toasted by Su Xue and others. On the spot, Old Man Yue Han's face turned red, like rouge; The old man of Jiang Dongjiang with alcohol on his face is even more blushing and thick-necked, like Guan Gong; Wang Zhen couldn't drink, but he also drank a lot, so that his head was dizzy, and he didn't know what he was muttering, as if he was an apprentice who was not an apprentice, and he didn't know who he was resentful.
After a few laps, basically all the low-level people gave Mr. Zhu a toast, except for two people.
Who? Lin Yi and Xu Dashao.
Xu Dashao, a foodie, has already eaten and drunk enough, and at the moment he is cross-legged and picking his teeth, humming and chirping in his mouth, completely looking like a hanger.
Lin Yi, holding chopsticks, was still slowly fighting with the expensive steamed grouper on the dinner plate.
The two of them turned a blind eye to the toasts around them.
As a veteran in the wine field, Mr. Zhu is very sensitive to this, what does it mean, everyone toasted me, just you two special?
So, Mr. Zhu pretended to be a gesture, took the wine glass without smiling, and walked straight towards the table of Lin Yi and Xu Dashao.
Since you don't come, then I'll go!
Hey! Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! ——
Sneer! (To be continued.) )
