Chapter Seventy-Four: Banquet II
A person sat silently for a moment, and there was a commotion at the door of the hall, surrounded by the crowd, led by Pei Yixuan and the Pei family, Mr. slowly walked into the banquet hall with a few people.
The eyes of everyone present were immediately attracted by these people, and no one paid attention to Liang Chu anymore, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly loosened her straight shoulders.
At this time, she gently raised her head and looked around - imitating the pattern of a Chinese-style banquet, with a single small number in front of each person, there were not many dishes, but each one was exquisite and abnormal, like a perfectly made work of art, which made people unbearable.
As soon as they came in and sat down, Pei Yixuan explained to everyone that the president could not come because of something, so he, as an only son, entertained everyone instead of his father. The ship belonged to the Pei family, so today he is the master and sits in the first seat, and the gentleman is side by side with him as a distinguished guest.
Liang Chu met a few of them by chance in the mansion, but it was the first time to eat together, and this time Liang Chu sat under Uncle Wu, who was in charge of medical care.
Except for these few people, she didn't know any of the other guests, only the first Marshal Andre under Pei Yixuan had seen it once. Facing Marshal Andrei's kind smile at her opposite, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips in response.
Soon, Pei Yixuan, who was in the first seat, also looked at her, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to see him, and raised a big smile, uh, big brother, am I very familiar with you? Liang Chu smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head and didn't look at him again.
While the others were talking happily, Liang Chu ate slowly, glancing at everyone present from time to time. Mr. wore a black embroidered red bird pattern straight jacket, with a belt and a hook of the same color, which looked more solemn and elegant, and his demeanor was outstanding.
Pei Yixuan wears crimson, which matches his bronze complexion, but compared with Mr.'s white and warm complexion, he is more sunny and handsome.
The rest of the guests were dressed in similar costumes, but it always made people feel that blonde and blue-eyed Caucasian people wore Hanfu, which was not as tasteful as Asians.
Uncle Wu probably got the instructions of Mr. and whispered to Liang Chu to introduce the important guests present. This is a so-and-so minister, that is a so-and-so general, and this is the second son of a so-and-so chaebol...... In short, it seems that the most powerful political, business, and military bigwigs on the planet have all come to the world.
Liang Chu followed Uncle Wu to look over one by one, and sat on three floors on top of each other, not to mention one or two hundred people, even if she thought she had a super good memory, she only remembered half of the people at most.
Uncle Wu expressed understanding and told her: "It's okay, Miss Liang, among these people today, you just remember these important people in the first row, and most of the people in the back are their relatives, children or subordinates, it doesn't matter that much, you don't have to make friends too deliberately, it doesn't matter if you get to know each other slowly in the future." ”
Liang Chu nodded, glanced at the crowd lightly, and his eyes suddenly fell on a guy in the last row who had been eating with his head down: "I know that person, it was my past instructor, called Owen!" How did he get here? It was rare to see an acquaintance, Liang Chu looked excitedly in the direction of the instructor, but Owen only cared about eating with his head down, and did not look at her at all.
Uncle Wu looked at it for a while, frowned and thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered: "Oh, he, he's the son of General Elson!" You see, the man in the lieutenant general's uniform in front of him is his father. ”
Liang Chu followed Uncle Wu to look over, and the last seat in the first row was a burly general who looked like he was thirty or forty years old, but almost all the people here were A+ physique, and it was certain that they looked young, and they definitely couldn't judge their real age by their faces.
The lieutenant general had a strong air between his eyebrows and eyes, and he sat straight and upright, but from the position of Marshal Andrei, there were several highly decorated generals in the middle, and he should be the last among the generals in the first row.
"Is General Elson General Will's son?" Liang Chu turned his head and asked Uncle Wu in a low voice, "Didn't General Will lead the coalition forces to conquer the aliens and sign an armistice agreement in that great battle a hundred years ago?" Why doesn't his descendants seem to be welcomed? ”
Uncle Wu hurriedly threw her a look not to talk nonsense, and then explained in a low voice: "You should have known these things a long time ago, General Will and Mr. Wei's master, Mr. Gong Yiming, the previous president of our Dongyuan, have some contradictory political views, so I ...... in the army for the time being." The rest of the words were not finished, but everyone understood.
As the patriarch of Dongyuan, everyone, including Uncle Wu, whenever he mentions Mr. Gong Yiming, his eyes are shining and he is infinitely fascinated, anyway, what Mr. Gong Yiming said is a holy decree, and it will never be wrong.
Liang Chu nodded, without Mr. Gong Yiming's large-scale innovation and development, there would be no today's brilliant Dongyuan Group, this is an irrefutable fact, he is a god-like existence among the previous CEOs of Dongyuan.
She remembered that she had heard people say that just because General Will was ostracized by Mr. Gong Yiming, and Instructor Owen and his father were now in the army, they were also on the front line all year round, but they were the slowest to be promoted.
It stands to reason that the only son of a high-ranking official family like him, like Young Master Pei, only needs to take an idle position in the army, eat, drink, have fun and make friends, and then he can be promoted at rocket speed. But Owen is as desperate as other petty officers from ordinary backgrounds, and he has been reduced to going to medical school as a part-time instructor all these years, doing this kind of drudgery without military merits!
It seems that although Mr. Gong Yiming has passed away for more than ten years, his influence is still everywhere. She spontaneously felt a sense of empathy, and couldn't help but look twice at Instructor Owen, who was sitting in the "least important" row.
Probably feeling the continuous gaze from a distance, Colonel Owen finally raised his head from the food and glanced in Liang Chu's direction; Liang Chu hurriedly showed him a "Hey, what a coincidence, you're also there!" Who knew that people didn't even look at it, they lowered their heads expressionlessly and continued to eat!
Well, it's too much! Liang Chu's smiling face was stuck in the air, and it was very embarrassing......
