Chapter 256: The Banquet

Ye Ling's engagement banquet was held at the Jasmine Club, buffet style.

As the times changed, the formal banquet format became less and less popular, and the relatively free buffet gatherings became popular.

The fees of the Jasmine Club are extremely expensive, even more expensive than the fees of some five-star hotel cafeterias, but this does not matter, it does not affect the business of the club at all, on the contrary, it is becoming more and more popular.

It's so expensive!

Doesn't expensive mean a certain status?

Xiao Fan drove the big run alone, and Xin Lin had to stay in Zhishui Temple. Yuan Qianqian is recuperating from her injuries, basically has no combat effectiveness, plus a female doctor Feng Wanniang, Xin Lin does not stay in Zhishuiguan, Xiao Fan is not so relieved.

Before leaving, Xiao Fan called Chen Yang and wanted to invite her to this party. Xiao Fan was really afraid that his mother would introduce him to someone again, so he called Chen Yang to play the role of a shield. At least Chen Yang doesn't call himself his girlfriend for now.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yang did not have time, and the interrogation of Li Qingtai entered a critical stage, and Chen Yang did not want to leave without permission.

Xiao Yishao had no choice but to go to the Jasmine Club alone.

As soon as Daben arrived at the door of the Jasmine Club, there was a special waiter to guide him, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Under the guidance of the waiter, Xiao Fan walked towards the cafeteria.

To Xiao Fan's surprise, Ye Ling did not greet customers at the door of the restaurant, only a young man in a black suit and extremely neatly dressed stood there, receiving guests with a smile on his face.

Listen to him introduce himself, his name is Lin Xifan.

Xiao Fan suddenly, this. is Ye Ling's fiancé, on the phone. Jian Xiuhua briefly introduced the situation of Ye Lingfu's family to Xiao Fan.

Broadly speaking, the Lin family is also a wealthy family in Beijing. Strong connections in the medical and health system. After the reform and opening up, especially the medical reform, the Lin family's main focus turned to the commercial system. Ye Ling's fiancé, Lin Xifan, currently runs a large-scale private pharmaceutical company, and the business is booming.

With the connections of grandparents in the health care system, it would be strange if the pharmaceutical company did not run well.

No wonder Ye Qiyun agreed to hold their engagement banquet at Jasmine's private clubhouse.

Ye Qiyun is a senior leading cadre who is very strict with himself, has a very upright position, and has good private morality, and his children who are not in business are all working in the unit. But the future son-in-law is the boss of the company. If you have money, then it's nothing to spend. As long as the money is earned from the right path. And being a pharmaceutical company can be regarded as benevolent and benevolent, and the grade is very high.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Xiao Fan, Ye Ling's high school classmate. ”

Ye Ling was not there, and Xiao Fan introduced his identity to Lin Xifan.

"Ah, Xiao Yishao, hello, hello. I've admired the name for a long time, and I've always heard Lingling mention you......"

As soon as he heard Xiao Fan's self-introduction, Lin Xifan's eyebrows suddenly rose and became more and more enthusiastic. Both hands held Xiao Fan's hand tightly and shook it again and again.

Although Lin Xifan is now the CEO of a large company, he is still a child of a family at his roots. For the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, he is naturally very familiar. However, it can also be seen from his name for Xiao Fan. Lin Gongzi also knows very well about the "big things" in the Jingshi circle. In just a few months, "Xiao Yishao" became famous in Beijing. A new "big man" in the circle of gentlemen was born.

It seems that the "successor" of the Lin family is not a business person in the pure sense.

Xiao Fan smiled and bowed, without too much greeting.

On such an occasion, those who should be handled must be controlled, because here he is "Xiao Yishao", representing the face of the old Xiao family. If it weren't for Ye Qiyun, simply relying on the face of the Lin family, Jian Xiuhua and Xiao Fan would have been invited to come and cheer.

Lin Xifan personally led Xiao Fan into the restaurant.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, there was a coquettish sound, the fragrant wind surged, and a black shadow came out of the oblique stab, startling Lin Xifan.

Xiao Fan couldn't help laughing.

Those who dare to hide on the side and "secretly attack" on such an occasion will have no one else except Fang Yumei. The little girl is such a character, she loves as much as she wants, and no one can take her seriously.

It's just that Xiao Fan didn't expect that even Fang Yumei would come to this banquet.

"Brother Xiao Fan, why are you so late?"

Fang Yumei rushed to Xiao Fan, and shouted loudly, raising her bright little face, full of excitement, her big black eyes were like stars in the sky, shining, indescribably beautiful and cute.

"It's not too late, is it?"

Xiao Fan raised his wrist and looked at the time.

"It's not too late, isn't it? We've been here for a while, and I'm getting tired of waiting for you when I hear Aunt Jane say you're coming too, and I'm waiting for you here...... It doesn't scare you, it's not fun at all......"

The little girl chattered and fell, and her red and glamorous little mouth pouted.

It scared Lin Xifan.

Xiao Fan smiled, reached out and rubbed Fang Yumei's little head, his face was full of love and pity. Fang Yumei was wearing a white shirt, a sky blue short skirt, and white sneakers, showing her identity as a little girl at school, which was really out of line with this occasion.

Who of the other guests is not well-dressed?

But for Fang Yumei, none of this mattered. Almost all the female guests present, regardless of age and dress, no one can be more dazzling than Fang Yumi.

Beauty is born.

In addition to jealousy, others are left with envy.

It's strange to say, as soon as Xiao Fan stretched out his hand like this, the little girl immediately smiled and became very happy, and stepped forward to hold Xiao Fan's hand, just like a clingy little sister, but no one felt that there was anything wrong.

She was so innocent and cute.

"Is Uncle Fang here too?"

Xiao Fan let her hold his palm and asked casually.

"No, my dad is in the iron gate, and he's busy with work...... My mom is here. ”

Xiao Fan nodded with a smile.

Rao Yuting has a wide range of friends, and it is completely possible that she has a close relationship with Lin Xifan's elders or with Ye Qiyun and his wife.

To Xiao Fan's surprise, there were really a lot of elders from wealthy families who came to participate in this banquet, not only Rao Yuting arrived, but even his son Xiao Zhanxiao, Minister Xiao, also Lu Hong.

Around the two large tables in the middle, these elders sat with Ye Qiyun himself.

Although it is a cafeteria, if you must subdivide it, there are also priority seats. Ye Qiyun, Xiao Zhan, Lu Hong and others, what kind of identity? There should be a difference in how you say it. In terms of restaurants, this way is used to highlight the dignity of the guests at these two tables. In addition, there is another thing that is also different, around these two tables, there are several uniformed waiters, ready to serve guests.

This is also a general cafeteria does not have a project, for these bigwigs to add a temporary service.

Seeing her daughter and Xiao Fan walking over hand in hand, Rao Yuting smiled and said hello: "Xiao Fan is here?" ”

"Hello Aunt Rao."

Xiao Fan hurriedly bowed to Rao Yuting.

When Jian Xiuhua saw her son, she was naturally dazzled and smiled, but Xiao Zhan frowned.

It's good for you to come, what are you doing hand in hand with other little girls? Although Fang Yumei is naïve and romantic, she is always sixteen or seventeen years old, and in this impetuous society, sixteen or seventeen years old cannot be regarded as a complete little girl's family. The key family backgrounds of the two sides are there, if it is spread out, saying that the "Taoist" of the Xiao family is beating the idea of the little girl of the Fang family, but where will Xiao Zhan put his old face?

The eldest grandson of the Xiao family, who is not angry, not only makes a fool of himself, but now he is "inferior to a beast", and the target is an underage girl?

However, Rao Yuting didn't seem to be displeased, and Xiao Zhan didn't want to have a casual attack.

There are some things that can't happen in front of everyone, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up, and you can only teach a lesson behind closed doors in private. It is estimated that Rao Yuting also means this, there is nothing on her face, and she doesn't know how angry she is in her heart.

Lao Xiao's family is such a tutor?

Although he didn't have a seizure in public, when Xiao Fan bowed to his own Lao Tzu and asked Haode, Xiao Zhan's face still fell, and he snorted lightly, which was regarded as a wake-up call for this "guy".

Xiao Fan naturally knew about Xiao Zhan's displeasure, but he couldn't explain it much.

Explaining at this time will hurt Fang Yumei's face, how embarrassed is the little girl?

In addition to Xiao Zhan, several other elders also had very different attitudes towards Xiao Fan. Ye Qiyun smiled and bowed, which was regarded as a gift to Xiao Fan. However, anyone can see that Ye Qiyun's smile and politeness are purely courteous, and it is completely for the sake of Xiao Zhan and the old Xiao family, and Ye Qiyun's attitude towards Xiao Fan himself is still the same as before.

Ye Qiyun is not a relative of the Xiao family, so he can't talk about how much "hatred" he has for Xiao Fan, but he is never close. Ye Qiyun is a dignified person and acts decently, but I am afraid that like Xiao Zhan, he is very disapproving of the deviance of the eldest grandson of the old Xiao family in his heart.

Isn't it good for you to be a cadre according to your family's arrangement? In the future, how can you mix up a leader who is not big or small. You have to be so unconventional, to learn something!

It was the second son of the Xiao family who finally changed his ways and went to the countryside to exercise.

That's great!

This is the descendant of the old Xiao family.

And Lu Hong's attitude towards Xiao Fan is completely different, although he only smiled and nodded to Xiao Fan, but everyone can see that Lu Hong's smile is from the heart and very kind.

"Xiao Fan, come, let me introduce you, this is Director Gao, Professor Gao Tianwang. Famous TCM expert ......"

When it was Lu Hong's turn to be an old gentleman with white hair beside him, Lu Hong enthusiastically introduced Xiao Fan.

"Hello, Professor Gao."

Xiao Fan was a little dazed, and he really couldn't remember where this Gao Tianwang Professor was.

It's not that every Chinese medicine expert, Xiao Fan must know or have heard of it, but this person appeared at Ye Ling's engagement banquet, and openly sat with Ye Qiyun, Xiao Zhan, Lu Hong and other provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking officials, like a master, without falling behind at all, it can be seen that he is a great figure, but Xiao Yishao really has no impression of Professor Gao.
