Looking at the Yongan International Hotel, which is a full 20-story building in front of him, Xiao Qiang really has to sigh at how magnificent this five-star hotel in the entire Yongan County is. If it were in the past, he would probably be ashamed of himself when he walked here, but now it is different, how to say that he is also a millionaire, and sometimes this kind of thing does rely on strength to obtain.

Touching the wrapped yellow flower jade pendant in his pocket, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but smile happily. The reason why he appeared here today is because Zhao Qingyan's birthday party was held in this big hotel, and of course he would not come empty-handed, as early as yesterday, he had already brought this fine jade pendant carved from high-grade huanghua jade from Wen Birou.

This jade pendant is naturally from the high-grade yellow jade obtained from the last round of gambling with Yang Yisheng, and was carved by Master Wen himself. Although it is not as good as the craftsmanship of famous masters, after all, it is also processed by masters, and the value is naturally expensive.

With this jade pendant, Xiao Qiang, who was full of confidence, walked into the hotel not long after, and soon felt the gap between himself and the upper class again. Don't look at the small Yongan County here, but in the parking lot of this hotel, luxury cars are placed there shiningly, although Xiao Qiang doesn't know much about cars, but no matter how you look at these cars, these cars are definitely not cheap, and the momentum of his little millionaire is much weaker in an instant.

And when Xiao Qiang came to the door of the hotel, he looked at the ladies who were dressed in gold and silver, and who were dressed beautifully, holding the men in straight suits and formal clothes, and then looked at his own inappropriate casual clothes, the last bit of momentum that had been stored before was undoubtedly gone......

It seems that Zhao Qingyan's family background is much more powerful than he imagined!

"Xiao Qiang? How are you? Just when Xiao Qiang was a little hesitant to enter the hotel now, an unpleasant sound of surprise suddenly sounded behind him. He turned his head to look, only to find that the person who spoke out turned out to be Zhao Qingyan's tablemate Wang Xiaoxiao.

It can be seen that Wang Xiaoxiao has been dressed up carefully today, and her original ordinary appearance has been painted with light makeup, and she has worn a small dress skirt on her body, which really looks a little beautiful.

"What, surprised to see me?" Xiao Qiang was worried that he didn't have a partner to enter the arena together, and when he saw Wang Xiaoxiao, he said, "Zhao Qingyan invited you and invited me." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao really didn't know much about the relationship between Zhao Qingyan and Xiao Qiang, she looked at Xiao Qiang a few times, obviously still a little confused, she didn't understand why Zhao Qingyan's birthday party would invite Xiao Qiang, but she could also see that Xiao Qiang shouldn't lie, and was about to say something, but when she saw a group of people coming not far away, her face suddenly became a little unbelievable.

Xiao Qiang turned his head and looked at Wang Xiaoxiao's gaze, only to see that there was a father and daughter in the crowd coming from the parking lot, it was Xia Guohang and Xia Yao. If it was before, Xiao Qiang would definitely feel the same incredible as Wang Xiaoxiao about Xia Yao's arrival, but since Zhao Qingyan told him about his real relationship with Xia Yao, he felt normal.

Today's Xia Yao undoubtedly made Xiao Qiang's eyes shine, coiled up his hair, and after a little powder, the charming pretty face was a little less youthful and beautiful, but a little more mature and charming. With the delicate body wearing a pink sleeveless bandeau evening dress, her graceful figure is vividly displayed, and she is as attractive as a modern girl.

When the two saw Xia Yao, Xia Yao naturally also saw Xiao Qiang. There was a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes, but she soon smiled slyly. When Xia Guohang saw Xiao Qiang, he was extremely enthusiastic, and took the initiative to come over and say, "Haha, who did I see?" Isn't this Xiao Qiang? Looks like you're also here for Miss Zhao's birthday party? ”

"Uncle Xia, long time no see, yes, I was invited to this banquet." Xiao Qiang replied politely and said with a smile, "Uncle Xia also knows Zhao Qingyan?" ”

"Hehe, I don't know Miss Zhao very well, but I have a good relationship with her father in Ninghai City." Xia Guohang said casually and seemed to think of something, "I almost forgot, Xiao Qiang, tomorrow the provincial capital will hold a large-scale antique fair, if you have time, go and take a look, you can increase your knowledge." ”

Xiao Qiang knew that Xia Guohang was referring to the exhibition that Wen Birou wanted to go to, so he nodded and said, "This is a grand event in the antique world, I naturally want to see it, but it seems that this ticket is difficult to get, right?" I want to go with a friend, but I don't know if I'll be able to enter......"

Xia Guohang smiled and took out two tickets directly from his pocket and handed them over, "What a coincidence, the people from the Antique Jade Association just sent me the tickets today, and I just sent you two if you want to go." ”

Xiao Qiang knew that Wen Birou had asked a boss surnamed Zhang on the antique street to get tickets, but he didn't know whether he could get it or not, and it was always better to take two tickets for self-defense. Thinking of this, he happily accepted the ticket and thanked, "Then I'm welcome, thank you, Uncle Xia." ”

"What else is there between you and me to thank you?" Xia Guohang smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go, the banquet is about to start, let's arrive early, don't let people think that we have a big shelf!" ”

With Xia Guohang's leadership, Xiao Qiang naturally didn't say anything, and followed their father and daughter into the hotel together. And Wang Xiaoxiao seemed to be very disgusted with Xia Yao, so she didn't accompany her. Of course, Xiao Qiang knew the reason, so he didn't force it.

The five-star hotel is naturally luxuriously decorated and large in scale. Just walking into the lobby of the hotel is enough to be resplendent and luxurious. Zhao Qingyan's birthday party was in the banquet hall on the tenth floor, and they quickly took the elevator to the main venue of the banquet. At this time, there were already many guests present, Xiao Qiang took a look, and found that many of the faces were characters who often appeared on the county TV station, which was really a gathering of heroes!

Just as Xiao Qiang was sighing at the scale of this banquet, his afterglow fell on the crowd on the right who were talking. And it just so happened that he saw a lot of acquaintances here. First of all, he saw that the middle-aged man with champagne and a calm smile was his second uncle Xiao Wanzhong, and standing next to him in a formal suit were his son Xiao Zhiwei and his wife Bao Yuqin, and at this time Xiao Zhiwei also saw Xiao Qiang, and after smiling his eyes, resentment and jealousy immediately appeared.

Xiao Qiang understands that this guy is probably jealous of why he can only rely on his father's relationship to attend the birthday party, and he can be invited to come alone, right?

Ignoring this troublesome cousin, Xiao Qiang's gaze extended into the crowd, and soon he saw the county leader he met in the jade factory last time, the deputy county magistrate Zhao. At this time, he was carrying a beautiful woman and was talking to other guests. And just like at that time, standing next to him was Zhao Qingyan's uncle, Secretary Wang.

Continuing to scan along the crowd for a week, Xiao Qiang never saw other familiar people again, he couldn't help but be a little strange, this Zhao Qingyan's birthday banquet needs to open and show up again, which is normal, but what about her parents? As the host, you have to come out to receive guests, right? But he looked around and didn't seem to find it.

"Old Xia!" Just when Xiao Qiang was wondering, suddenly the county magistrate Zhao not far away suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted happily, and walked towards him quickly. This old Xia immediately made Xiao Qiang understand that this was calling Xia Guohang beside him! I have to say that this Xia Guohang is really a character, and even the deputy county magistrate of Yongan County knows him.

"Hehe, Lao Zhao...... Oh no, it should be County Magistrate Zhao, it's been a long time! Xia Guohang smiled and took the initiative to walk towards the oncoming County Magistrate Zhao, the two shook hands tightly and laughed heartily.

"Oh, Lao Xia, what is County Magistrate Zhao, what are you doing so much! We've been together for more than three years, right? I still want to drink the big red robe you brewed with your own hands, that's called a taste! County Magistrate Zhao patted Xia Guohang's arm and said with a smile, "You are a big businessman in the antique jade world, this time you come back to Yongan County, you have to continue to support my work, Yong'an is also your hometown, but you have to make some contributions to your hometown!" ”

"That's certain, as long as County Magistrate Zhao is willing to help, I naturally want to go back to my hometown and return to my roots." Xia Guohang replied with a smile, "I'm an ordinary businessman, how dare I say I support it, but County Magistrate Zhao wants to help me more!" ”

"You, you still can't get rid of that old problem, be modest!" After County Magistrate Zhao replied jokingly, he turned his attention to Xia Yao beside him, and couldn't help laughing, "This should be your daughter Yaoyao, right?" Look, I haven't seen you for almost three years, and I've become a beautiful big girl, it's really good! ”

"Hello Uncle Zhao." Xia Yao replied politely, "Your daughter is also very beautiful, and I am in the same class with her now." ”

Xiao Qiang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed surprise.

What's the situation? This is the daughter of the county magistrate Zhao...... Are you also studying in Class 2 of the third year of high school?
