Chapter 738: Charity Dinner (1)
The time soon came to more than seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ningxi left the villa with Xu Qingqing, and finally came to a private club on the east side of Fengcheng under the escort of a group of bodyguards.
Today's dinner is held here, and it is said that it is a dinner party, but in fact it is an exchange meeting of the upper class, nominally a charity party.
Zhang Ningxi's car was parked in the parking lot, at this time, in this huge parking lot, there were all kinds of luxury cars, although Zhang Ningxi's car was good, but it was not particularly conspicuous here.
As Xu Qingqing expected, the vehicles of the other bodyguards were not allowed to enter here, and their cars could only find a vacant parking lot outside, and as for those bodyguards, they could only wander around the periphery.
"Hello, please show the invitation."
When Zhang Ningxi and Xu Qingqing came to the door of the clubhouse, the greeters standing at the door stopped their steps.
Xu Qingqing took out an invitation from the small satchel on his arm, the invitation was very simple, just a black invitation with a circle of bronzing lace on it, and a special mark in the upper left corner.
handed the invitation to the handler of the hostess, who respectfully accepted it, and then checked it, then took a step back and invited Zhang Ningxi and Xu Qingqing into the club.
He naturally recognized that the person who handed him the invitation letter was not Zhang Ningxi, as a greeting person, he ushered in the send-off, and he had to be familiar with these upper-class people in Fengcheng, even if he was not familiar with them, he had to recognize the appearance of these people.
If you offend these people, their work will be done.
He recognized that the woman next to him who had not been dressed up too carefully, but was still beautiful, was Zhang Ningxi, but an invitation letter could not only enter one person, but generally the people who came to this dinner would not come alone.
It's just that generally speaking, women bring male companions, while men bring female companions, only Zhang Ningxi is more special, and brought a female companion over, but this is also reasonable.
In this case, of course, there is no need to stop it, because the other party did not break the rules, but it was just a little different from the others.
Zhang Ningxi and Xu Qingqing walked all the way inside, which has been arranged as the scene of the dinner, which is divided into two halls, on one side is a long dining table for self-service meals, and next to it there are some sofas and small seats for resting.
On the other side, it is also the front hall of the dinner scene, there are a lot of round tables, at this time in the whole hall, there are many people active in it, greeting each other, many people wandering in it, or talking, or whispering.
Although the scene was not very noisy, it was very lively.
Whether it is Zhang Ningxi or Xu Qingqing, it is not the first time to participate in this kind of banquet, although this is said to be a dinner party for the upper class, but in fact it is very boring.
If it weren't necessary, Zhang Ningxi really didn't want to come here to attend any dinner, just because there were too many upper-class people gathered here, maybe just a few simple words, or a very short conversation, could set a big project cooperation.
In this world, many people have blended into this circle in order to participate in their dinner party, and it can be said that they have sharpened their heads and desperately want to come in.
Not for anything else, but for the sake of profit.
These people here, as long as a small decision, is likely to generate a huge flow of money, and their mouthful of soup may be an achievement for those little people who cannot achieve it in a lifetime with their efforts alone.
No matter at any time, people are still hierarchical after all, no matter in what period, people will be divided into several levels, even if they are different, but the structure of the pyramid has existed since ancient times, which is a kind of helplessness and natural selection.
Zhang Ningxi, accompanied by Xu Qingqing, slowly approached the venue, and the things that Xu Qingqing was carrying before had also been handed over.
said that it was a charity dinner, then there would naturally be a process of charity.
It's very simple and cliché, that is, everyone who attends the dinner offers a lot, and all the funds obtained through the auction are invested in charity.
The greetings are in progress, since Zhang Ningxi has chosen this path, she naturally can't avoid clichés, her company may seem big to others, but here, she is just an ordinary person.
But since it's a beauty, you can't just run to talk to each other like everyone else and discuss any cooperation.
Different statuses naturally lead to different behaviors.
After wandering in the hall for a while, Zhang Ningxi and Xu Qingqing went straight to the food picking area, where all kinds of food were placed, all kinds of dishes, snacks, and wine, each of which was very exquisite, making people feel appetizing at a glance.
Don't look at the number of people attending the dinner party, but there are really not many people who will actually go to this dining area to eat, most of them maintain the so-called etiquette and demeanor, holding a glass of champagne, and pretending to talk there.
But among them, those who can really negotiate business are destined to be a small number of existences.
In fact, Zhang Ningxi doesn't expect to negotiate any business here, but the rules of high society are like this, you can be special, but you can't be special.
If you don't stand at the top of a circle, then don't let yourself be different, that's not a good thing, it's a bad thing.
The Chinese idea of moderation has always existed, so it naturally has its truth, and some people may disagree, but it is very in line with the logical framework of social psychology.
When you are not at the top of an industry, you appear special, special, and that will make people feel that you are out of place in this circle, so that you subconsciously pay attention to you, give you more attention, and with it, more enemies.
It is not unreasonable to make a fortune in a muffled voice.
According to the core theory of the party, in fact, every beauty is the core of the storm of the party, and with the beauty as the center, all men will spread evenly and always keep an eye on the beauty in the center.
After all, there are still differences in the behavior patterns of men and women.
Walking to the food picking area, Zhang Ningxi and Xu Qingqing carried a small plate and walked between various delicacies, to the point where Zhang Ningxi no longer needed to talk to anyone about business, if there was business, someone would naturally come to the door.
Because of her beauty and capital, compared with a person who only has beauty and no ability, Zhang Ningxi, who has both beauty and capital, is obviously more attractive.
"What do you like to eat?"
Zhang Ningxi asked softly.
"No, you can just eat."
Xu Qingqing immediately responded, and at the same time put down the plate in his hand, still guarding behind Zhang Ningxi like a bodyguard, his eyes scanned the banquet hall vigilantly, confirming whether there was any danger here.
Zhang Ningxi didn't say anything more, the question was not just asking Xu Qingqing, but asking two people at the same time, one was naturally Xu Qingqing, Zhang Ningxi hoped that she could relax a little, but obviously, her plan failed.
And the other one is Lin Mo who is hiding in her shadow.
There are a lot of delicious things here, and after Lin Mo can return to the state of a normal person, another ability has also been unlocked, that is, even if Lin Mo remains in a shadow state, he can still eat and digest.
And Zhang Ningxi also found that Lin Mo's appetite was not ordinarily good, and for Lin Mo, the amount of food for a few people was only half full, and because of this, Zhang Ningxi thought about bringing Lin Mo over and having a good meal.
After all, if you put it in your room and get so much food at once, you will either be treated as a foodie, or there will be no way to explain it.
Seeing Xu Qingqing turn his head to look around, Zhang Ningxi also quietly tapped his shadow with his toes.
"How's the steak?"
Lin Mo's voice came from his ears, Zhang Ningxi turned his head to take a look, determined the location of the steak, and slowly walked over, covering his shadow on it.
"Okay, you're ready to go, remember to be careful, don't let anyone else find out."
This sneaky feeling made Zhang Ningxi feel very funny, while eating the small dessert on his plate, he peeked at the steak that disappeared into his shadow inexplicably, and felt a little proud inexplicably.
