Chapter 17: Face Slap Card
Seoul City Center, Myeongdong, Lotte Hotel.
In the banquet hall on the top floor of this place, a grand cocktail party is about to be held.
Lotte Hotel is one of the top hotels in Seoul, and the nearby Lotte Department Store is owned by the South Korean Lotte Group, which is also one of the pillar industries of the Lotte Group.
In the 80s, Lotte Group's founder, Singhao, began to get involved in the tourism service industry, acquiring and merging many hotels and department stores, and using this to establish a large subsidiary of Lotte Mart, which is mainly engaged in distribution/tourism services.
Li Xiaoran's family business was merged into Lotte Mart at that time. Now, Li Xiaoran's grandfather, Li Jingju, is the second largest director of Lotte Group and the actual head of Lotte Mart.
Today is Li Xiaoran's 27th birthday. Originally, her younger brother was unconscious in the hospital, and she was not in the mood to hold a birthday party. But as the third generation eldest daughter in the family, there are some things that she can't refuse.
For example, this banquet, in the name of celebrating her birthday, is actually an important social occasion, and she cannot refuse.
Kim Yunhao arrived here at 7 o'clock in the evening, and at first he thought it was an ordinary banquet, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that it was actually Li Xiaoran's birthday party.
I'll go! Say it early!
I knew that today was her birthday, so I had to buy a small gift for myself.
Kim Yunhao was a little strange at this time, obviously he didn't want to see Li Xiaoran again, but he wanted to leave a good impression on the other party when they met. The mood of a 'lovelorn' person is so strange.
When Kim Yoon-ho stood at the door and hesitated, a low exclamation caught his attention. Turning to look, he saw an unexpected person.
Park Xinyue was covering her mouth with her hands at this time, surprised, anxious, and looking at Kim Yunhao with a complicated expression.
She recently hooked up with the son of a wealthy businessman, and the two are 'in love'. Tonight, she rarely obtained the consent of the other party to attend tonight's important occasion together. She hopes to make some richer sons and brothers and find a better home in the banquet where big names gather tonight.
But she never expected that the object who had just finished the blind date, Kim Yunhao, would also come along. If her current male partner discovers the truth, it is a trivial matter for the two to blow up, and it will not be something she can tolerate if she messes up the rare opportunity tonight.
Therefore, when she saw Kim Yunhao appear at this time, she was so surprised and scared.
She found an opportunity, quietly slipped to Kim Yunhao's side, and scolded in a low voice: "Hey! What are you doing here? This is not the place where you can come, hurry back. If you pester me again, I'll go back and tell my mom about today's events and tell your family. ”
Park Xinyue wore heavy makeup tonight, wearing a light blue evening dress and long skirt, with jeweled jewelry, dressed like a brightly colored flower.
But in Kim Yunhao's eyes, Park Xinyue's dress is nondescript, "With so many jewels on your body, aren't you tired?" In his opinion, Park Xinyue's dress can only be evaluated as: attracting bees and butterflies, nondescript.
For Park Xinyue, he really doesn't have a good impression. As for 'pestering her', it's even more inexplicable.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pester you with the idea, I'm also here for the banquet."
Park Xinyue squinted at Kim Yun-ho's cheap clothes, 'poof', and laughed: "Hehe, I'm laughing to death." Oh, my God... Do you know what this place is? Can you also attend the banquet here? Please, use your brain when you lie, and figure out the situation before you speak. I don't know what to do..."
Park Xinyue felt that Kim Yunhao was completely a dead duck with a hard mouth, and for the sake of a man's face, he said such a bad excuse.
After speaking, she glared at Kim Yun-ho, full of warning, and then twisted her little buttocks, stepped on ten-centimeter high heels, and walked towards her male companion with cat steps.
"Xinyue, who is that man?" Park Xinyue's male companion's name is Han Jinyu, and his father is a small boss.
"Someone you knew when you were a child, don't worry about him. Let's go, let's get in. Park Xinyue leaned on Han Jinyu and said in a nasal voice: "My dear, I will introduce more people to me later." ”
"Hehe, little meaning. But you're going to have to put on a good show at night, right? Han Jinyu put his left hand on Park Xinyue's waist, groped dishonestly, and teased.
"Death, it's all up to you..."
"Huh."
As they spoke, the two walked to the door.
Li Xiaoran's family is considered a first-class family in South Korea, and the banquet held by their family is really not something that anyone can enter and leave casually.
If the waiter at the door sees a familiar face, he will let him go directly, and if it is a new face, he will politely ask for the other party's name, or politely ask for the other party's invitation.
Han Jinyu is not a familiar face in high society, so he can't slap his face, so he has to take out the invitation card in a proper manner. These two invitations were the ones he had worked so hard to figure out. If it weren't for the sake of pleasing Pu Xinyue and tasting the taste of this woman, he wouldn't have spent so much.
When Han Jinyu took out the invitation card in a chic manner, Park Xinyue felt that she was very face-saving, and at the same time she didn't forget to look back at Kim Yunhao behind her, the meaning of showing off was obvious.
In the face of Park Xinyue's 'showing off', Kim Yunhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking: How can any country have such a loving person.
But there is really a market for Park Xinyue's show-off, and the banquet here is really not something that anyone can attend. He didn't have an invitation, so he really couldn't get in.
There's no way, call Li Xiaoran for help.
But Li Xiaoran's answer surprised Jin Yunhao a little, and his mood changed a lot, "You've arrived?" I'll pick you up. Also, you just go in, I told the waiters at the door, they know your name and know what you look like. ”
Look at it, everyone's beautiful style of acting is so comfortable.
Kim Yunho also put on a little proud look, first tidied up his clothes, and then swaggered towards the door.
After the waiter at the door noticed Kim Yun-ho, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly, he bowed to Kim Yun-ho and said, "Mr. Kim Yun-ho, good evening." ”
"Good evening." Kim Yun-ho responded with a smile.
At the entrance of the venue, a group of people all turned their heads to look for sounds.
It's still early before the banquet starts, and the heavyweights haven't arrived yet, and now the ones who come are all marginal characters. When these people entered the venue, they all took the initiative to report their names or take out invitations, and suddenly a big man who came in with a slap in the face appeared, which was quite conspicuous. Everyone is curious about whose son-in-law arrived early.
But seeing that the main owner was Kim Yunho in ordinary clothes, everyone felt inexplicable: Who is this? How come you've never seen it?
Park Xinyue and his male companion were also at the door, and they were not qualified enough to enter the venue, and could only wander around the edges. When Park Xinyue saw that Kim Yunhao actually came in with a slap in the face, she almost fell off in shock.
"Xinyue? Isn't he the guy you just talked to? Who is he? Han Jinyu asked curiously.
"Huh? Oh... I can't remember, but I met a few times when I was a child, and I can't remember his name? Pu Xinyue screamed in surprise, and after coming back to her senses, her eyes rolled around, and she hurriedly made up a lie.
"Oh... It's a pity. The people who can enter the scene based on their appearance alone are either big shots, or they are valued by the master and specially explained. If I can talk to him, maybe I'll be able to walk into the infield later. Hey, that's a pity. Han Jinyu sighed.
Regarding Han Jinyu's behavior of spending money to pick up girls, his father who had an objection to it, agreed with it this time, and actually took the initiative to provide him with network help, wanting his son to make friends with some big names for him.
Han Jinyu is a student at Seoul National University, his IQ is not low, and he spent a lot of resources to get the invitation, and while picking up girls, he also wants to expand some contacts.
It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to make friends with Kim Yoon-ho, who seems to be an important person.
"......" Park Xinyue didn't speak, and she still can't figure out how Kim Yunhao got in.
Valued by the owner here? What are you kidding, tonight is the birthday party of the eldest lady of the Lotte Lee family, the host is the core member of the Lee family, Kim Yunho, a probationary prosecutor, what can be worthy of these big shots.
But what shocked Park Xinyue was still to come, tonight's protagonist, Li Xiaoran, actually dragged his swaying figure and appeared at the door to greet Kim Yunhao in person.
Noticing the envious gazes of the people around her looking at Kim Yoon-ho, Park Xinyue went crazy with depression.
Oh my God, what's going on? Is the world in chaos? How can a probationary prosecutor be so showy.
