All Chapters_Chapter 451: Tao Nanxiong
The business reception is held in the Buckingham Jue Clubhouse, this club will be composed of some famous local wealthy businessmen, or senior CEOs of large companies, as well as local celebrities, and only open to these fixed VIP members on weekdays, it is said that the VIP limit is 1000 people, if the VIP number of people is reached, there will be no new members.
The annual membership fee is 100,000 yuan, but because it is said that because it is full, many businessmen or celebrities in Lihai City are very proud to be able to join the club, and the membership card is allowed to be transferred, so now a membership card of the Buckingham Jue Club is worth more than 500,000 yuan.
The famous members of the Buckingham Jue Club include Xiao Mei, chairman of Chen Group, Tu Huadong, chairman of Tujia Yongtai Industrial Co., Ltd., Lin Feng, general manager of Lin Jia Jinyu Collective Co., Ltd., Zhu Changnian, chairman of Zhu Jia's Baili Co., Ltd., and so on. It is the dream and goal of many businessmen and company executives to be able to step here and exchange business information with these top wealthy businessmen in Lihai City.
Zhang Airong and Tang Anning and I took a Hongqi car to the parking lot in front of the magnificent Buckingham Club, and when I got off the car, I found that Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi can be seen everywhere, as well as various supercars, which is simply a famous car collection. I can't help but think that the members here are so fucking rich, and this is the most wealthy group of people in Lihai City.
There are two imposing stone lions on the left and right of the club, and the steps are divided into two sections, first nine steps, then five steps, faintly with the meaning of the honor of ninety-five.
On either side of the doorway stood four security guards in black suits, who were serious and a little indifferent, with headsets in their ears and a stick pinned to their waists. I don't know why, but I saw these security guards in black suits, with cold faces and weapons. I can't help but think of the group of mysterious people in black leather clothes who helped Chen Wen this afternoon, and all of them used throwing sticks.
Zhang Airong took me and Tang Anning, as well as two entourage bodyguards, and some of the guests who came to the reception along the road recognized Zhang Airong, and they all came up to greet Mayor Zhang, Zhang Airong basically bowed slightly, even if she had said hello.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black dress, hurriedly greeted him with a few subordinates: "Mayor Zhang, welcome to guide the local business development. ”
Zhang Airong saw this person, smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you are so polite." ”
When this middle-aged man with a tall figure and a hint of elegant temperament heard this, he hurriedly said, "Please call me Lu Xi." ”
Zhang Airong said a few more polite words to Lu Xi, and introduced Tang Anning and me to Lu Xi. Zhang Airong also specially told me that this Buckingham Jue Business Club was established by a famous local tycoon named Tao Nanxiong more than 20 years ago.
She also told me that Tao Nanxiong used to be the richest man in Lihai City, and he was also a well-known wealthy businessman in Guangxi. However, a major mistake in the company's decision led to the company's collapse, and Tao Nanxiong, a business legend who was in the limelight, has since declined. However, although the company went bankrupt, he finally used his connections to establish this business club, which promoted the development of local business and made a great contribution to Lihai City.
Lu Xi heard Zhang Airong's high evaluation of his master Tao Nanxiong, so he hurriedly said modestly: "Mayor Zhang is really a compliment, if Tao Lao hears your evaluation, he doesn't know how happy he will be." ”
Zhang Airong smiled slightly, and asked as she walked: "By the way, Tao Lao's body is okay, he has rarely appeared in the business circle in recent years." ”
Lu Xi said: "Tao Lao is now in the suburbs for the elderly, he is old, he is no longer keen on money and business, and wants to enjoy his old age peacefully." ”
Zhang Airong nodded and said: "Tao Lao used to be the richest man in Lihai City, after the business failed, he could afford to put it down, and now he is retired to the countryside, this courage is also admirable." ”
At this time, we have taken the elevator to the second floor, the thousands of square meters of the reception hall is richly decorated, the long table is placed with a variety of exquisite food and snacks, the waitress wearing a cheongsam carries a variety of drinks shuttled between the guests, and the guests can choose champagne or cocktails and other drinks and drinks. The guests here are all dressed appropriately, with men's suits and leather shoes, women's dresses fluttering, typical of the upper class social scene.
These rich people and guests all came to greet Zhang Airong when they saw them, and Zhang Airong also smiled and greeted these people with a word or two, and casually introduced me to everyone. These people all looked at me a little suspiciously, guessing my relationship with Zhang Airong, borrowing Zhang Airong's light, and they were very polite to me.
Although I don't like this kind of communication very much, but in order to develop in the future, I can only follow Zhang Airong everywhere to socialize, Tang Anning is Zhang Airong's baby daughter, and she looks slim and beautiful, and she is naturally the object of favor for many guests. Tang Anning soon became irritable with this kind of boring entertainment, so he took my hand and said to Zhang Airong: "Mom, I'll walk around with Chen Yu. ”
Lu Xi and some of the rich people around him sensitively looked at the hands that Tang Anning was holding with me, and their eyes fell on my face all of a sudden, and they couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous. About they think that Zhang Airong took me in and out of such a place, and Tang Anning was so close to me, then I must be Tang Anning's male ticket, and it is also the kind of male ticket that Zhang Airong agrees with.
As everyone knows, when Tang Anning, the little girl, was holding my hand, Zhang Airong took advantage of the people around her to pay attention and glanced at me fiercely. The sharp eyes scared me so much that my body almost trembled, and I cried in my heart, this is Tang Anning holding my hand, as if you can't blame me, right?
Since Tang Anning was infected with the Medusa virus, I tried my best to protect the virus vaccine, Tang Anning seems to have had a huge change in me, originally she just made an appointment with me to start dating and falling in love after graduation, but now, she faintly has a feeling that three years is too long, and she is going to fall in love now.
I know that Zhang Airong brought me here tonight to make more friends with celebrities, and Zhang Airong was not very happy that I was running around with her daughter, so I was hesitating to leave with Tang Anning? But at this time, a few people came from afar, led by a beautiful woman in an evening dress, who looked bright and moving, and it was Zhang Qingqing, who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of Chen's Group Co., Ltd.
Zhang Qingqing was accompanied by several senior executives of Chen's company, who were coming towards us from a distance.
The moment I saw her, I turned my back to her, and I didn't know if she saw my face, but I didn't dare to stay at the scene. I said to Zhang Airong, Aunt Zhang, after Xiao Ning and I walked around, I hurriedly pulled Tang Anning with his back to Zhang Qingqing, who was walking over, and drilled into a crowded place, hiding first.
Zhang Airong saw Zhang Qingqing coming, and then looked at me who ran away in embarrassment, she showed a suddenly realized expression, and couldn't help but think in her heart: Chen Yu is good at everything, but his feelings are entangled, if it weren't for the fact that he sacrificed his life to save Xiao Ning, just because he had Zhang Qingqing and Xiao Ning was ambiguous, I couldn't help but kill him!
The business reception was actually not so fun, and after the invited guests came, first the host Lu Xi went up to speak, and then invited Zhang Airong to the stage to give a lecture, and then Tu Huadong and Zhu Changnian, two famous local businessmen, came to the stage to give speeches, about an hour was wasted, and then another half an hour was given for these guests to communicate with each other, and finally the first stage of the business meeting was announced.
However, tonight's entertainment and pastime have just begun, it turns out that after the speech and exchange, there will be a mask dance party on the third floor, Lu Xi also came over and asked Zhang Airong to participate in it, but Zhang Airong naturally refused. Her identity is destined that she will not participate in this kind of ball, in fact, most of the older rich people such as Tu Huadong and Zhu Changnian have also left.
Most of the people who go to the mask ball are young men and women, and the women can catch the golden beetle son-in-law, and the men can meet the celebrities and beauties, so the young people are very enthusiastic.
Tang Anning was very curious about this kind of mask ball, so he said to go up with me to play, Zhang Airong said to one of her bodyguards: "Ah Hu, you also go up, protect Miss, don't let some ill-intentioned guys take advantage of Xiao Ning." ”
When Zhang Airong spoke, she glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, which made me depressed and tried my best, she was obviously talking about me!
After Tang Anning got his mother's permission, he didn't care whether he was close or not far behind us, and pulled me into the elevator to go up to the mask dance scene on the third floor. What I don't know is that when I walked into the elevator with Tang Anning and Ah Hu, Zhang Qingqing was looking at my back suspiciously not far away, it turned out that she couldn't help but be suspicious when she saw my back, with her familiarity with me, she was a little suspicious of this person from the back.
At this time, the middle-aged man wearing a suit one size bigger next to her saw Zhang Qingqing looking at the elevator and was distracted, so he immediately said in a half-Mandarin and half-Cantonese tone: "Miss Zhang, do you want to go up to the mask ball, or let's go up and continue to negotiate our cooperation projects while attending the ball?" ”
Zhang Qingqing didn't want to go up, but after seeing the back of the suspicious me, she hesitated: "It's okay to go up and have a look." ”
