Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Banquet
Following Chen Xin, this is also the first time that Wang Feng has set foot in the social place of high society.
This is a large villa, the main building is a Western-style three-storey building, and the huge terrace extending from the second floor adds a lot of space to the building, which makes the whole building look like a huge staircase. At this moment, on the terrace, a group of male and female guests are either looking at the railing, or chatting with wine, enjoying the leisurely atmosphere of part.
In front of the villa is a large garden with delicate vegetation that exudes a tranquil atmosphere at night, and several guests stroll through the garden. In the center of the garden, a huge fountain constantly sprays water jets of various shapes into the sky. Behind the villa, there is a large swimming pool in which quite a few people frolic around.
Entering the villa, the hall on the ground floor is brightly illuminated by the ceiling pendant chandelier, and at a glance it is full of well-dressed men and women. In the left corner of the hall is a band playing light dance music, and in the right corner is a large table full of food, and elegant maids skillfully weave through the crowd with various drinks.
Leading Wang Feng into the banquet, Chen Xin said a few words and didn't know where he had gone, and Wang Feng didn't care, after all, she was the heroine tonight, and there was no surprise if she appeared too early.
Wang Feng greeted the maid, picked up a glass of juice and began to sweep the food on the table without anyone else, but the imageless action was conspicuous in the elegant upper class, and they all cast disdainful glances.
"Hello."
A quiet-looking young man suddenly came to Wang Feng with a wine glass, Wang Feng looked around suspiciously, swallowed the food in his mouth hard, and pointed to himself, "Are you talking to me?" β
"Yes, I don't know my friend's name, your ...... Your demeanor here is very frank and sincere. The young man smiled gently.
"My name is Wang Feng, and I'm just hungry." Wang Feng wiped the corners of his mouth and introduced himself.
"I have admired Wang Shao's name for a long time, are you Miss Chen Xin's friend?"
Wang Feng's favorability towards this young man suddenly decreased to zero, hypocrisy! And Wang Shao came, he was a ** who had nothing to do to look up for a long time, not to mention that Wang Feng had already reported his name, and the other party obviously knew that there was no such person in the upper class, and he didn't even bother to tell Wang Feng his name.
"Pretty much."
Wang Feng didn't want to continue to deal with the young man, so he didn't turn around and ignored him after a few prevarications, and the young man didn't say much to stand near Wang Feng, chatting with other VIPs and flattering each other.
After about half an hour, I heard the band stop playing abruptly, and the music in the hall stopped abruptly.
The guests had guessed something, and the people who had been talking stopped and looked together at the front of the hall on the wide staircase leading upstairs.
Chen Lixin walked up slowly in a black dress, stood on the steps, and bowed deeply to the guests below. The bearing is quite extraordinary, and after standing up straight, his face is solemn, and there is a faint momentum.
Wang Feng frowned slightly, and Chen Lixin seemed to see him and just smiled slightly.
The host of the banquet coughed lightly, and the guests below suddenly fell silent.
"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies." The host's Mandarin is good, and his voice is loud and a little magnetic, and he is polite: "Today is Miss Chen Xin's eighteenth birthday banquet, thank you for coming all the way...... Now I would like to invite Ms. Chen's father, Mr. Chen Lixin, to make a few remarks. β
The guests below applauded very cooperatively, and the host immediately smiled and handed Chen Lixin the microphone, and then Chen Lixin waved his hand to signal the applause to stop and took a deep breath.
"Chen is just a businessman, thank you for your love......"
A series of polite words, presumably written by the secretary in advance, Wang Feng suddenly felt that there was a lot of cumbersome between the so-called upper class, obviously they didn't know what to hear, but they still pretended to be more serious than going to school and listening to lectures, and some people were even secretly taking notes.
"As soon as tonight passes, Chen Xin will have grown up completely, and I will be old. Please come to friends, the first is Xu Xu's feelings, after all, everyone is usually busy with work, and the second is that I officially announced that Chen Xin will take over the position of president of Chen's Group, and the affairs of the group will be slowly handed over to her in the future, Chen Xin is still young, and will definitely make more naΓ―ve mistakes in the future work, and please help guide ...... friends."
After saying this sentence, everyone in the audience was shocked, and even the upper-class people couldn't help whispering. Taiwan is hard, Chen Lixin actually announced that his daughter, who had just turned eighteen, would take over the position of president, and the youngest business genius in the entire Chinese world is also in his thirties, Chen Lixin's approach is too child's play.
After speaking, Chen Lixin seemed to be a little tired, his eyes were haggard, and he said with a smile: "This era belongs to young people, I am old, I am really ...... Hahaha, tonight is not the time to be sentimental, if I say more, I will steal the limelight from Chen Xin, and then I will leave it all to our heroine. β
When these words came out, the guests suddenly let out a low commotion, and with Chen Xin's appearance, at this moment, it seemed that all the light in the audience was taken away by her alone! All the focus is on her alone!
"It's beautiful!"
"Miss Chen Xin is really talented and beautiful!"
"Hey, maybe we're really old."
The guests cheered and marveled, the current Chen Xin can be said to be the chairman of the Chen Group, at least on the surface, and she is now dressed like an angel, and the men present, nine out of ten will be eager to kiss Fang Ze when they see such a girl.
Chen Xin smiled lightly at the guests and said those high-sounding words.
ββ¦β¦ Finally, on behalf of the Chen Group, I would like to thank all the guests for coming, and I hope to ask for your guidance in the future. β
Chen Xin spoke polite words to the guests one by one, and his demeanor was perfect and elegant.
Wang Feng's brows became more and more wrinkled, maybe it was the uneasiness and shock in his heart, how much change can a person be made in two months, Chen Xin has simply become another person, is this girl still the crazy girl she knows, or the foodie who pesters herself to barbecue, at this moment she is as perfect as an angel in everyone's hearts, but Wang Feng feels so strange.
Chen Xin said, but his eyes swept around the crowd, Wang Feng suddenly realized that something was wrong, he clearly felt that Chen Xin's eyes passed through the gap in the crowd, and fell on him at once!
The key Chen Xin's gaze clearly flashed a trace of strangeness, just like the cunning she used to play with herself!
"Now that the prom has begun, everyone must be very concerned about who my dance partner is."
