Chapter 210: The Banquet [1]
When the first street lights came on, the first district seemed to really come to life. During the day, the first district is also very lively, and it is crowded with tourists, but it always feels like something is missing. It is only at night that people realize that what is lacking is vitality! the flashing neon lights, the girls with heavy makeup on the roadside, and the energetic music penetrate the streets, making the steps of the pedestrians walking on the streets a little strange, and there seems to be a surging power rising in the body, and they can't help but want to twist their limbs with the music.
A gust of sea breeze blows, blowing away the heat left by the scorching sun during the day, blowing into people's hearts, holding a glass of iced juice, watching all kinds of performances, it is almost impossible to forget where you are.
This is the real first district, and it is what tourists call heaven on earth!
Outside the iconic building of Ilian, the crowd surged, and even some media set up cameras on the side of the road, and these curious people exchanged ears to know that there was a banquet held here tonight, and it was all celebrities, rich people from the upper class of Ilian who came here to participate, and even a few movie stars who had just arrived in Ilian to shoot movies. The flashing lights couldn't stop people's eyes from widening to catch a glimpse of the big guys.
With the arrival of luxury cars, with the arrival of famous or distinguished guests, the crowd erupted in exclamations from time to time.
When a silver Haus Luwei came to the scene, the crowd erupted in exclamations again, such luxury cars are indeed rare, and it seems that only the rich are willing to use the money of a few houses to buy a means of transportation. In anticipation, Durin got out of the car, whispered thank you to the concierge, and then took Dove's hand and stepped onto the red carpet. The chatter around made Dove a little nervous, and she clutched Durin's arm tightly, squeezing a stiff smile out of her face.
It was the first time she had encountered such a scene, and for the first time, she was in the limelight, and she became the focus of people's attention in the constantly flashing flashing lights.
"Don't be nervous!", Durin patted the back of her hand, "You can treat them like sheep in the sheepfold!", Durin nodded to the people waving to the side.
Listening to Durin's comfort, Dove couldn't help but laugh, the smile at this time was very natural, and it also made the flash flash more densely burst for a while, "How can you say that?"
"What's so bad? At least that you won't be nervous. ”
The two of them were strangers to the residents of Ilian, and even stranger to the tourists, but fortunately, there was a master of ceremonies to guide the dinner so that there would be no mistakes. The main task of the master of ceremonies is to introduce the distinguished guests on the red carpet to the guests who have arrived and the citizens outside, and when people learn from the mouth of the master of ceremonies that this young big boy is what they often call Mr. 350,000, the scene broke out again into enthusiastic exclamations.
Many people think that Mr. 350,000 is an old man of seventy or eighty years old, and the purpose of buying this manor is only to provide for the elderly, because people rarely see anyone coming out of that manor, so there are many rumors about Mr. 350,000 in Illian City. When people learned that Mr. 350,000 was not an old man but a slightly handsome big boy, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
The red carpet is not long, only ten meters away, and it doesn't take many steps to reach the end. There is a sign-in area at the end, and at this time people have not yet understood the benefits of the sign-in wall, so the sign-in is often in a notebook.
Durin picked up a very special quill, signed his name in a notebook, and walked into the venue of the dinner under the guidance of the concierge. The moment he walked through the hall on the first floor and into the venue, Dove had only a feeling of dizziness, and the resplendent hall was full of the upper echelons of Illian City, dressed in relatively less rigorous clothes, and polite groups of three or five gathered together to chat with smiles and smiles.
Koster, who was busy with beads of sweat, trotted over from nowhere, he let out a breath, took out a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat on his head, "You're finally here, I thought you would be late or not coming." ”
The scheduled time was seven o'clock, and it was only ten past seven, so it was not too late. Durin shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, he didn't bother to explain, and besides, let alone being ten minutes late, even if he was an hour late, he wouldn't explain. Scott's gaze quickly fell on Dove's body, and the amazement in his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but praise: "Your female companion is very beautiful, I wonder if you can let me know her name?"
Dove wore a tuxedo that Doolin had chosen for her at night, and men were far more important than women in this world, even those strong women sometimes had to bow to men on certain occasions. Men can dress casually for this ordinary social dinner, but women are still required to wear gowns. One is to set off the men around you, and this is also the main purpose of needing a female companion in the banquet, and the other is also a self-evident comparison and showing off.
All men would not refuse that their female companion was the most beautiful and glamorous in the whole banquet, and neither would Dorin, so he carefully chose the dress that Dove was wearing at this time. The bright red bareback deep V dress is as bright red as blood, and the white and smooth skin is as white as milk, the stark contrast is a little shocking, but it is this strong contrast that gives people a special beauty of danger and temptation.
Durin laughed, and Scott raised his hands in a wry, "Okay, okay, I get it." As he spoke, he began to introduce the guests to Dührin today, many of whom were guys that Dührin knew, such as the fat man on the right hand who was about to stretch out half a meter from his belly, he was an Ilian hotel tycoon, and the hotel where Dührin was located was one of his properties. This one is called Alexander, and he has a bigger belly than he is famous in Illion, and he often holds some big stomach competitions, and he will also play in person and always get the best results. He once said that if anyone could surpass him in eating, he would give them three free stays in the hotel's penthouse suites. Recently, I heard that he was discussing with the city hall to plan an Ilian food festival, expanding the influence of his brand and family, and at the same time boosting the popularity of Ilian, and the city hall was very tempted.
The person who was communicating directly with him was called Bill, with slightly curly flaxen-colored hair, very three-dimensional facial features, and a pampered life that gave him a very special temperament, a very charming middle-aged man. He runs three bars and five special places where sweaty and hot women hang out, and his nickname in Illion is like thunder, and the speed with which he can change female companions is even more astonishing.
Someone has calculated that Bill has to change a female partner almost every month, and what is even more interesting is that all the female companions who were abandoned by him only said that he was good, and few people would say that he was bad. There is a grapevine that his capital is very sufficient, and the breakup fee is also very happy, and some women who think they want to make quick money but are unwilling to do special careers like to revolve around him.
As for the mustache behind them with a wine glass and a couple chatting, it was Juan, who was fifty-one years old this year, and looked like he was only in his early forties. He was teaching the couple how to judge the quality and value of a bottle of wine, but judging by the blank expressions on the couple's faces, it seemed that they did not know what Juan was saying.
The entire banquet hall was filled with celebrities and dignitaries, and Scott introduced some important guests to Durin before heading to the next guest. I don't know if Scott got rid of Durin, or if Doolin got rid of Scott, anyway, Doolin is in a good mood right now. He took Dove's hand and walked behind Juan, listening to him introduce the two couples to the knowledge of alcohol, and after listening for a while, Durin began to applaud, which alarmed Juan, who was on the rise.
"Who are you?", Juan put down his glass and turned to look at Durin with some confusion, he had lived in the city for so many years, he had never seen this young man, you must know that the participants of tonight's banquet were either rich or noble, could this young man be the child of whose family? His gaze stayed on Dove for a moment, and then he took it back, marveling at Dove's beauty His gaze turned several times.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Doolin, and I live on a cliff by the sea!", this self-introduction is a bit of a dry humor, but the people here eat this set, Juan suddenly understood after a little thought, he smiled loudly and stretched out his hand to shake Durin, and introduced Dulin to the couple next to him.
"This is what we often call Mr. 350,000, and I am also very happy to meet you, your arrival makes the banquet and our Illian more perfect and brilliant. Juan is a very talkative guy, and he also introduced the old couple around Durin, "These two are from the next city, the Jason couple are the largest farmers, with more than 10,000 hectares of land, and it is enough to build a city on them." ”
The two old men greeted and shook hands with Du Lin very kindly, and it was obvious that the two old men were very easy-going, and the life on the farm was actually very suitable for the elderly, especially the rich old people. After a casual conversation, the Jasons were pleasantly surprised to find that Doolin was also very familiar with farm work, and the relationship between the two sides suddenly became much stronger, and even invited Doolin to go hunting on their farm in the fall.
"You don't know, there's a lot of undeveloped forest around our farm, and there's a lot of black bears and leopards and other animals. As long as you can pick up the gun, you will definitely have a good harvest!"
