Chapter 89: Business Banquet (2)
Tonight's banquet was held in buffet style, with long tables on either side of the hall with a variety of food and drinks. The waiters are busy preparing the meal for each of the guests, and some waiters with wine trays are also shuttling around the guests, ready to refill their empty wine glasses.
Most of the people attending the banquet were celebrities from the business world, as well as the so-called elite members of South Korea's upper class, most of whom were over 30 years old, and the younger ones were basically the juniors brought by their parents to see them, and they would all get together and talk about topics of interest.
The appearance of Feng Zixi and Kim Hee-sun immediately became the most eye-catching scenery at the banquet. The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, and the two of them will naturally become everyone's attention.
Business elites and upper-class people don't pay much attention to entertainment, and they don't necessarily know who the two of them are, or have a little impression, and they don't pay much attention to it. But the young juniors who leaned on the side are different, most of them are fun and active, and they also know a lot about the entertainment industry. The children of some big families even pursue female stars as one of their hobbies. So as soon as Kim Hee-sun appeared, he attracted the attention of this group of people.
"Isn't that Kim Hee-sun? How did she end up here? Who is that man next to you? I've never seen it. A young man in a white suit looked at Kim Hee-sun with a fiery gaze, but cast a suspicious look at Feng Zixi, who was holding Kim Hee-sun affectionately.
"Isn't it the heir of a business? Or is it the son of an official? Recently, due to the formation of a new government, many officials from other places have come to Seoul, and it may be a new foreigner. The other one also glanced at Feng Zixi carefully, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
A woman who looked okay, but had a thick foundation on her face, said disdainfully: "What heirs and children of officials?" That's just a little star, who just debuted last year and made a popular movie. It's just handsome, and if I didn't like this type, I'd ask him to help me lift my shoes. ”
"Starlet?" The eyes of the young masters who looked at Feng Zixi again turned into disdain and disdain.
However, there are people who are exceptions. Park Yongxin, who had been leaning against the wall, saw it when Feng Zixi and Kim Hee-sun walked in, and his eyes couldn't help but look awkward. He thought, "Why did this young master appear here?" Haven't you ever participated in a banquet in Korean high society? Is it because the person hosting the banquet tonight is an American business representative, or is there some other purpose? ”
Feng Zixi doesn't know any of the people here, and some of the faces may be a little impressed, but they don't know each other, they just know about it in some way. Facing everyone's gaze, Feng Zixi's face remained unchanged, and he behaved calmly and naturally.
Kim Hee-sun is not so calm, she has seen a lot of big people who can only be seen in the news and newspapers. The president of Samsung Electronics, as well as the presidents and directors of Korea's pillar industries such as LG, Hyundai, Ssangyong, and SK were also present. In addition, there are some rare high-ranking officials, and there are actually military generals, so Kim Hee-sun can only hold Feng Zixi's arm tightly and dare not move his steps.
"Don't be nervous, they're human too, they won't eat you." patted Kim Hee-sun's jade hand comfortingly, and pulled her towards a place where foreigners gathered.
"Humph! The little star actually dared to come to this kind of banquet, and I really don't know who brought it in. We went and drove them away, lest we lower the order of the feast. Of course, it would be best if Kim Hee-sun could stay. Several self-righteous young masters of the company walked over to Feng Zixi and Kim Hee-sun with a smile. …,
Park Yongxin sneered, "A bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die." He walked away without looking at them, and he was going to inform his father, who was deliberating about the matter, immediately. After all, the formation of the new government is about to be completed, and there is no room for negligence or mistakes.
Before several young people could walk over, they were already frightened by the scene in front of them.
"Oh! My sweet little friend, I finally met you. Mr. Charles, the U.S. commercial representative to South Korea, saw Feng Zixi coming over, smiled all over his face, said hello to the people around him, opened his arms, and walked over to Feng Zixi, very enthusiastic.
Charles is a fifty-year-old man who looks very kind, but if Feng Zixi knows that someone says this about Charles, he will definitely scold loudly: "Old man Charles is a vampire in human skin, as long as he is given the opportunity, he will pounce and suck every drop of blood on your body." ”
After hugging Charles, Feng Zixi said in English: "It is really a blessing to be able to meet Mr. Charles in distant South Korea. I wonder if I will have a chance to have dinner with Charles's current daughter, the beautiful Bernice tonight? ”
"No, don't even think about it, I won't agree to you being with Bernice." Charles, who was still very polite, suddenly became like a wolf who had been stepped on by the tail, and the whole person went crazy.
"Oh! Mr. Charles, look, there are so many guests around, how can you lose your temper? Feng Zixi smiled close to Charles's ear and whispered, "Have you done what I arranged?" Otherwise, I'll have to go to Bernice! ”
"You! You wicked scoundrel, just as bad as your father. Charles's daughter Bernice is his only weakness, but Bernice fell in love with Feng Zixi when she was in high school, and even wanted to live with Feng Zixi for a while, but Feng Zixi refused. But Charles always thought that Feng Zixi, a bad boy, was seducing his daughter, otherwise the cute and beautiful Bernice would never be really willful.
This time, he knew that Feng Zixi wanted to help a woman and hold a banquet, Charles didn't want to help, but Feng Zixi's conditions made him forget about his daughter, and now he was taken out by Feng Zixi again as a threat, making Charles feel that helping Feng Zixi was simply seeking skin with a tiger, just like when he almost fell to Feng Zixi's father.
"Rest assured, everyone is invited, and it can be regarded as a meeting between enterprises in the new year. After all, the new South Korean government is about to take office, and many American investors and local South Korean companies need this banquet to communicate. But what you promised me, you must do it, or I won't let you go. Charles rolled his eyes angrily, and Feng Zixi said.
"Don't worry, after tonight, I will transfer the shares of BP oil to your name, are you satisfied?"
"Hehehe! He is truly your father's son. Charles smiled when he heard what he wanted to hear the most. patted Feng Zixi on the back, glanced at Jin Xishan beside Feng Zixi, and said, "Is this the lady you want to help?" Sure enough, it's beautiful, so that my Bernice can escape from your clutches, thank God! After saying that, he actually drew a cross on his chest.
"Do you believe that I'm going to contact Bernice right now?" Feng Zixi gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Don't, don't." What Charles is most afraid of is that Feng Zixi will entangle his only daughter, so who knows if all the wealth he has accumulated in his life will be taken away by this bad boy? "Someone, you should really want to see, I'll take you to him." Pulling Feng Zixi up, he walked over to a group of soldiers who had gathered, including generals from South Korea and the United States.
"Bazel, look who's coming." Charles shouted to a middle-aged soldier dressed in the uniform of an American colonel. …,
When Feng Zixi saw the people coming over, he immediately tidied up his clothes, greeted him, stood upright in front of the colonel, gave an American-style military salute, and shouted: "The Air Guard Reserve Warrant Officer Zachary of the United States National Guard salutes you, hello Mr. Colonel!" ”
The colonel returned a military salute, then hugged Feng Zixi with a smile, patted his head and said, "I didn't expect to see each other for a few years, my little zachary has grown up. people, they still pursue such a beautiful and moving lady. ”
"Mr. Colonel Xie Luxie, I didn't expect to see you in Korea, otherwise I would have asked you out for a few drinks." When he was training at a training camp in New Jersey, Colonel Bazel used to select soldiers. At that time, he saw Feng Zixi's ability and wanted to cultivate it, but was rejected by the commander of the training camp, Dade.
Bazel approached Colonel Fez, hoping to transfer Feng Zixi from the reserve to the regular army, but Colonel Fezel again refused Colonel Bazel's request on the grounds that Feng Zixi was too old and inexperienced. However, it was also after that time that Feng Zixi's name was cleared in the training camp and returned to civilian status, and the rank of warrant officer was actually an empty rank.
Some South Koreans are very curious, why did the young man who suddenly appeared be able to get the attention of Mr. Charles, the US commercial representative in South Korea, and Colonel Bazel, the US arms sales representative. asked the people around him, but he didn't expect that most people didn't know who Feng Zixi was, but they all knew Kim Hee-sun, the number one beauty in South Korea.
The young men who wanted to come over to find fault were already frightened, the identity of a business representative of Mr. Charles, and the arms sales representative of Colonel Bazel were the lifeblood of South Korea, and no one dared to offend them. Didn't you see that several Korean generals were going around Colonel Bazel just now?
When did this little star actually know such a strong person? Also, he actually gave a military salute to Colonel Bazel, or what kind of warrant officer, and Colonel Bazell returned the military salute, doesn't that mean that the identity of the little star is affirmed? A few shrunk their eggs, came over with a menacing momentum, and soon walked away. Especially the woman who just said that Feng Zixi is not her ideal type, she has already started a crusade with her friends.
Feng Zixi's appearance was very unexpected, and it surprised too many people. Quite a few people have consciously or unconsciously approached Charles and Colonel Baazel, hoping that they can find out. When Charles revealed to several South Korean generals who do not use the military very "unintentionally" that Feng Zixi's father is very powerful in the United States and is very familiar with members of Congress from both the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States, and as long as his father is willing to speak up, he should be able to help a lot on the issue of arms sales.
Colonel Bazel was silent, and the generals around him were also smart people, so he naturally knew that he was acquiescing. Several Korean generals glanced at each other, and they all talked to Feng Zixi and got in touch with each other.
The people who temporarily investigated Feng Zixi's identity could only find out Feng Zixi's identity in South Korea, and nothing else was known. This made them all take a breath, when did such a powerful actor appear in South Korea? My father is familiar with members of the U.S. Congress, so why did he come to South Korea? Is it really just to pick up girls? Seeing the glamorous and moving Kim Hee-sun around him, everyone thought that this was the best explanation. Otherwise, with this Zixi's family background, he would never have come to South Korea for no reason and was willing to be a little star. None of them would doubt the words of Charles and Bazel, because at this level, people would never lie about such a thing for any reason.
