Chapter 210: House Arrest
As he spoke, Taihui stretched out his slender fingers.
"A surprise that no one witnesses is not a surprise at all."
Huo Beixiao listened, his expression was very calm.
"So, you've arranged everything you should have arranged?"
Taihui nodded.
"That's right, at this banquet, you will meet almost all the well-known people in the business community of City C. They were all surprise witnesses that I had invited. I believe that the sense of ritual at the scene will be unforgettable for your life. ”
Huo Beixiao pursed his lips.
"Thank you Mr. Tai, then I'll wait and see."
Looking at Huo Beixiao's expression, Tai Hui couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.
"I'm almost trampled under my feet, and I can still maintain such a calm and unhurried bearing. Huo Beixiao, you are really not an idle person! But even if you can laugh now, you'll be going to have to hang your head like a defeated rooster when the party is over. ”
Tai Hui's banquet was scheduled to be held in the evening, so for the whole day, Huo Beixiao was under house arrest. Tai Hui arranged for him to rest in a luxurious room, which had all the entertainment facilities. Huo Beixiao can even play PS game consoles in the house.
Of course, no matter what Huo Beixiao does, his every move will always be under Taihui's surveillance. Guo Wenqi, as Taihui's most trusted eyes and ears, spent the whole day observing Huo Beixiao in the monitoring room. Including how many phone calls the other party made and what he said on the phone, Guo Wenqi remembered it all clearly.
Towards evening, Tai Hui called Guo Wenqi to his office.
"How is Huo Beixiao doing?"
Guo Wenqi nodded.
"Honestly, nothing to do."
Taihui's pupils contracted slightly.
"Is there any sign of irritability in him?"
Guo Wenqi smiled confidently.
"No, except for a nap at noon, he spent most of the rest of the time playing games. Looking at his obsessive look, it's hard to imagine how he got to where he is now. ”
Taihui slyly curled the corners of his mouth.
"You don't understand this, smart people will still be as smart as ever no matter how they play. This is what people call talent. By the way, did he make any moves on the phone? ”
Guo Wenqi opened the folder, and the paper inside recorded the content of Huo Beixiao's call that day.
"According to my statistics, Huo Beixiao received a total of six calls today. Four of them are customers, one is a family member, and one is a subordinate. The content of the phone call was almost always asking him when he would return to City A, and Huo Beixiao gave them the same time - tomorrow. ”
When Tai Hui heard this, his sly smile was even more obvious.
"yes, I can't go back today. We can only wait for tomorrow......"
He thought thoughtfully for a while, and then gave Guo Wenqi a new task.
"You go to the banquet right away and see if there's anything that needs to be improved, I don't want anything to go wrong at a critical moment."
Guo Wenqi nodded and took the order.
"Yes, I'll do it! But Huo Beixiao's side ......"
Taihui shook his finger.
"It's okay, I'll send someone else to watch him, it's fine."
Soon after Guo Wenqi arrived at the banquet, he sent a message to Taihui that everything was in place, and the reception could start just after the guests arrived.
Tai Hui looked at his watch, and the time was indeed almost up. He walked out of the office and walked towards the room where Huo Beixiao was.
Pushing open the door, Tai Hui found that Huo Beixiao was still sitting there playing games. He watched quietly for a moment, then spoke to remind.
"Mr. Huo, the time for the banquet is coming soon. Please come with me now and go to the scene. ”
Huo Beixiao turned his head, first looked at Tai Hui, and then looked at the watch on the wall.
"It's already so late? Completely unnoticed. ”
Taihui smiled slightly.
"Time to play games tends to pass quickly, and you're probably able to experience that today."
"yes!"
Huo Beixiao stood up and stretched.
"Let's go, Mr. Tai, I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Let's see what surprises you've got in store for me. ”
The corners of Tai Hui's mouth rose, and he silently led Huo Beixiao out of the Tai Group building.
The venue for tonight's banquet was arranged by Taihui at the most luxurious restaurant in City C - the Pyramid Hotel. The hotel has an exotic atmosphere inside and out. Not only that, but there are also many traditional foreign dishes on the menu.
After getting out of the car, Huo Beixiao followed Taihui to stroll through the splendid hotel hall. After turning a corner, I entered the restaurant scene of tonight's banquet.
At this time, the hall was already full of guests from all walks of life. They are all figures with heads and brains in City C, and each single one is not easy to mess with locally. But it is just a group of people who are not easy to mess with, and at this time they can only obey Taihui and obediently come over to cheer him on.
Warm applause has been accompanied by Tai Hui and Huo Beixiao on the center of the stage, Tai Hui asked Huo Beixiao to take a moment, and he came to the microphone to make a banquet speech in front of the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening! First of all, let us use the warmest applause to welcome Mr. Huo Beixiao, a business leader in City A and the president of Huo's Group, who came from afar! ”
Under the still warm applause, Huo Beixiao got up and nodded to everyone.
Many people who got up and were present knew what Huo Beixiao looked like through various media. But when they really saw him, they couldn't help but praise Huo Beixiao's aura.
"He is worthy of being the strongest man in the business world of City A! This aura and this style are by no means comparable to ordinary business elites! ”
"Not really! Huo's Group is well-known in the region, and as its head, it must have something unique! ”
There are praises, and naturally there are declines. Especially on tonight's occasion dominated by Tai Hui, it gave these people more reasons to sing down.
"Don't look at Huo Beixiao so awesome and coaxing, in the end, he was not subdued by President Tai? On the territory of City C, no one can wrestle with Mr. Tai. Don't say it's Huo Beixiao, even if the king of heaven is here, it's okay! ”
"That's right! Because Mr. Tai himself is the king of C City! ”
Praise is praise, and praise is praise. In fact, Taihui and Huo Beixiao are strong and weak, and the guests present have a scale in their hearts. It's just that on such occasions, no one will confide their true thoughts. Because they know that tonight is just to be a spectator. If you want to perform a good show, you just need to watch the performance of the two leading actors with peace of mind.
After Tai Hui and Huo Beixiao finished speaking in turn, the cocktail party began.
As soon as Tai Hui stepped off the stage, Guo Wenqi leaned into his ear and whispered.
"Mr. Tai, Secretary General Luo of the Chamber of Commerce did not come."
Hearing this, Tai Hui first blinked, and then laughed a little horrified.
"He really doesn't give me face."
Guo Wenqi explained.
"I've inquired and he's been in poor health lately and has been resting at home. I guess I can't come if I want to. ”
Taihui nodded.
