Chapter 305: Birthday Party
Chapter 305 Birthday Banquet
Xia Fei had never seen such a bright night, the countless spotlights on the shore of Half Moon Mountain and Half Moon Lake turned day and night upside down, and even the bright moon on his head had become a dispensable ornament, in fact, the moon was very beautiful and bright, but it was not as dazzling as the combination of tens of thousands of bright lights in Sunset Villa.
Xia Fei suddenly felt that Sunset Villa should be called Sunset Villa, which was more appropriate.
The grand banquet lasted from tonight until three days later, day and night.
How much will it cost during this period, how many dignitaries and dignitaries, the royal relatives will attend Xia Fei didn't know, and he didn't want to know, for him, he attended this extravagant banquet at this time just for one person, that is, Avril.
After tidying up the tight dress, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and stood outside the gate of Sunset Villa, a large number of beautifully dressed men and women were talking and laughing, while taking elegant small steps towards the brightly lit Half Moon Mountain.
A magnificent Mattia extended hovercar roared by, and the driver opened the door to meet a young woman in a purple evening dress, who was obviously not used to her high heels and cumbersome classical dress, and walked awkwardly, swaying, and seemed to be in danger of falling at any moment.
The girl walked a few steps and found the problem, if she kept walking like this, she was afraid that she would not reach the top of the Half Moon Mountain, and she would have to perform a wrestling stunt for everyone first.
Raising her eyes and looking around, she saw Xia Fei standing aside, because of the perennial cultivation of thorns, Xia Fei always likes to hide her body in the most inconspicuous corner, this young lady can find Xia Fei at a glance It shows that her eyes are sharp enough.
The girl waved her hand at Xia Fei and motioned for Xia Fei to come over.
Xia Fei pointed at himself in confusion.
The girl was not pleased, and she said, "You should come here and call you."
Xia Fei walked up with a slight smile, the girl covered her nose with her hands, and the taste of inferior tobacco made her very useless.
"Throw this thing away, and help me with my bag." The girl said very politely: "There are no rules at all, I really don't know how the Jian family would hire a bodyguard like you." ”
Xia Fei realized that she regarded herself as a bodyguard, so she yelled at herself.
After taking the girl's bag and leaving the cigarette butt aside, Xia Fei looked down at his evening dress, this outfit was personally selected by Avril, and for some reason it was still regarded as a bodyguard?
The girl took off the high heels on her feet and examined them with her eyes, as if an experienced carpenter were examining her work.
Taking advantage of this emptiness, Xia Fei looked at it from the corner of his eye, and the girl opposite looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her appearance was not bad, and her small nose was a little playful.
In fact, the girls who came tonight are all beautiful, but unfortunately their thick foundation and dazzling jewels on their bodies Xia Fei did not appreciate it, but it was the girl in front of her who painted light makeup and did not bring too much jewelry that made Xia Fei look more pleasing to the eye.
"The heel height was reduced by 2.4 centimeters, and the curvature of the sole also needed to be smoother."
After speaking, the girl stuffed her high heels into Xia Fei's hand and looked at Xia Fei with her arms crossed.
Xia Fei frowned and said, "Girl, I..."
Who would have thought that this girl raised her eyebrows without waiting for Xia Fei to finish speaking, "I don't care if you have any reason, in short, the task of the bodyguard is not only to protect the safety of the guests, but also to find ways to solve difficulties for them, this is your job, now I ask you to help me modify these shoes immediately." ”
Xia Fei smiled helplessly, and took out the special dagger of the Adjudicator Guild from the ring.
Click
In an instant, the heel of the high heel was accurately cut off by 2.4 centimeters, and the sole was also readjusted by Xia Fei, and he even carved dozens of cross flowers to make the shoes more soft to wear.
The girl was a little surprised by Xia Fei's craftsmanship, took the shoe and put it on her foot and tried to take two steps, and the effect was even better than she expected, especially the originally hard soles became extremely soft, like sneakers.
"Very well done." The girl nodded with satisfaction and said, she took back her golden kun bag, found a pen and paper, quickly wrote a line of words on it, and handed it to Xia Fei.
"If you are not satisfied with your work in Jane's house, you can also choose to work for me, no matter what your current salary is, I will pay double."
After that, she shook off her stride and walked towards Half Moon Mountain, but her walking movements were still a little awkward, and it seemed that she rarely dressed like this.
The ghost smiled evilly, "What exactly did she write?" Maybe it's going to be a good job. ”
Xia Fei shook his fingers, threw the piece of paper out, and said lightly: "I'm not interested." ”
……
After a little more wait, Thuram and several other ministers of the Adjudicators' Guild appeared at Sunset Hills.
Thuram briefly introduced, these important members of the adjudicator union looked at Xia Fei with strange eyes, Xia Fei guessed that it should be due to the relationship between the old man Qin Mang, some eyes are kind, such as Thuram, and some are malicious, such as Marta of the Pursuit Department, the last time Qin Mang was hospitalized, Xia Fei had a very unpleasant quarrel with him.
"Let's go." Thuram patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said.
Everyone took out their phalaenopsis corsage and put it on their chests, and Xia Fei suddenly realized that the girl just now misunderstood that she was a bodyguard because of this.
The Jane family presented each guest with a finely crafted phalaenopsis orchid, made of expensive multi-colored alloy and inlaid with a crystal clear sapphire, which allowed them to enter and exit the Sunset Hill Villa with the highest level of courtesy.
In fact, there are many exquisite monitoring agencies inside this corsage, and since the last time Avril Lavigne was attacked, the Jian family has paid special attention to the safety of their own family, so they thought of such a way to quietly observe whether there is anything unusual in the guests, after all, thousands of guests will inevitably be mixed together, and they need to be careful.
Xia Fei didn't wear a corsage just now, and the men's evening dress style sample is simple, and the bodyguard's uniform is only a little different in texture and details, the Jian family is rich, and the bodyguards' uniforms are also high-quality goods, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between the two, so it will be misunderstood.
Xia Fei and Thuram walked last, and the group slowly walked up the escalator and went straight to the main venue at the top of Half Moon Mountain.
Shuttling among countless dignitaries and nobles, Xia Fei behaved very naturally, as if he was not interested in who these people were and what their background was, mixed in the crowd, but independent of the crowd.
The colorful arrangement on the top of the mountain looks very festive, there are too many plants that Xia Fei doesn't know, there are no these on the top of the mountain when I came last time, it should be that the Jian family temporarily transplanted them from other places for this banquet.
The huge energy shield surrounded the top of the mountain, and the mountain wind was very strong at night, and after the energy shield was activated, the mountain became quiet, and there was not even a trace of wind.
Countless waiters shuttled through the crowd bringing exquisite food and drinks, Thuram asked for a dark Hibernian ale, and Xia Fei brought a glass of light champagne.
Suddenly, Xia Fei felt that someone behind him wanted to hold him, out of instinctive reaction, he flashed a step to the side, only to see a snow-white palm grabbed the air, Xia Fei was keenly aware that there was a faint mark on this hand around the wrist, as if it had been injured, although she covered it with a golden bracelet, but still could not escape Xia Fei's gaze.
Xia Fei turned his head curiously, only to see that the girl standing behind him was still the girl at the foot of Fangcai Mountain, her purple skirt splashed a few drops of champagne, which should have been caused by her fluttering after Xia Fei dodged.
"I was looking for you, and then my..."
In the middle of the conversation, the girl suddenly swallowed, because Xia Fei also had a delicate phalaenopsis orchid pinned to her chest, which was exactly the same as the one on her chest, and it was obvious that Xia Fei was not a bodyguard, but a guest of the Jian family like herself.
Xia Fei smiled and said, "Are the shoes still comfortable?" ”
The girl replied rather embarrassed, "Not bad." ”
"It's good to be comfortable." Xia Fei raised the wine glass in his hand to her and joked, "Actually, I'm not used to wearing high heels." ”
"You have to be able to dress like a weird thing." Thuram on the side looked at Xia Fei and the girl and said, "What? The two of you have known each other for a long time? ”
Xia Fei shook his head, "I don't know each other." ”
Thuram smiled and said, "I said, how can it be that all the good things have been met by your kid, this is Nicole Nicole, the chairman of Gaia Corporation. Sawyer, Nicole, this is Xia Fei. ”
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, how can this girl look at it, she is not yet twenty years old, and she is actually the chairman of Gaia Heavy Industries Group, one of the four warship companies?
"Ling Zun is okay?" Thuram asked.
Nicole nodded and stroked her long brown hair with her hand, "Fortunately, most of his body has recovered, if it weren't for the doctor to stop him, I'm afraid he would have run back to work in the company long ago." ”
Thuram laughed and said: "This guy, isn't it good that the company is handed over to you to manage, how is it better to enjoy Qingfu at home than to run around all day, and besides, the company has done a good job in the past two months since you took office, so let that old guy retire with peace of mind." ”
Nike covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, "Uncle Thuram is really joking, if only my father had half the ease of you, I just worked in the company, and I don't understand many things, you need to take care of your little niece." ”
Thuram said: "I actually picked up good things and said that the last batch of kings throne level ordered from your company actually increased the price by five percent, I see, you can do more business than your old man." ”
Nicole said unhurriedly: "You don't know that this price increase is because the price of silver has risen sharply, and we are only the third of the four companies to raise the price, I quietly tell you that there is something good to go offline recently, and I will personally send it to you in a few days." ”
Thuram snapped, "That's what you're talking about?" ”
Nicole made a silent gesture, "Uncle Thuram, if only you knew, I'll be the first to inform you, and the military is still behind you." ”
Thuram smiled, as if Nicole was excited about what he said, "Well, this is like doing business, don't worry, with Lao Tzu here, you can't lose your company." ”
Xia Fei suddenly found that this girl was not very old but very scheming, she spoke and acted without leakage, and in a few words, she eliminated the impact of the last price increase, and made Thuram laugh nonstop, which shows that she is by no means a simple character.
Someone came up to talk to Thuram again, and Xia Fei retreated to a secluded place leaning on the railing and looking at the valley because he didn't know anyone.
"The last time you were here to take Avril Avril. Jane was saved from the gangsters, right? Nicole took the initiative to come up and say.
Xia Fei frowned, "How did you know about this?" ”
Nicole took a sip of wine, "Our circle is not big, and it's not small to say small, there are some things that you can't hide if you want to, I heard that you were seriously injured because of this?" ”
Xia Fei lit a cigarette, this time Nicole didn't say anything, let alone force him to put out the cigarette, "You said that this circle is not big, so why did Miss Nicole ask knowingly." ”
Xia Fei returned the question again in a word.
Nicole looked at Xia Fei with strange eyes, "You like Avril very much, right?" If not, I wouldn't choose to fight with my life. ”
Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Believe me, there are some things that don't need to be chosen, because there is no choice at all." ”
Nicole's face suddenly turned a little pale, and she said to herself, "Avril is really lucky." ”
Xia Fei stretched out his arms helplessly, "In other words, I wouldn't praise a person who was almost kidnapped for his good luck." ”
Nicole didn't know why she seemed to be very lost, Xia Fei looked at her wrist again, only to see that she was wearing a bracelet on one hand, and the other was tied with a silk handkerchief, which seemed to be deliberately covering her wrists, Xia Fei guessed that she should have scars on both hands, judging from the color and state of the marks, they should have been left when she was a child.
"yes, it's not good luck to be kidnapped." Nicole said lightly, she raised her glass and drank it down, and then called the waiter to replace it with a full glass.
"I'm going over to socialize, tell you one thing, even if I repay you for helping me change my shoes." Nicole's eyes swept over the crowd and whispered, "Because of your relationship with Avril, some people may not make you too proud tonight." ”
After saying that, Nicole walked into the crowd with a spring breeze on her face, and dealt with those old guys very skillfully, looking at ease.
"Not good for you? Could it be Li Mo again? The ghost asked.
Xia Fei spat out a smoke ring, looked for Avril Lavigne in the crowd, and said easily: "If you come, you will be safe, let them let the horses come." ”
……
There are more and more people, according to the habits of the upper class, the drinking party generally does not enter until 12 o'clock in the evening**, after all, these rich grandchildren do not need to get up early tomorrow to work, and the nightlife generally lasts until the early morning.
Avril never appeared, even Pang Xing was nowhere to be seen, Xia Fei sat alone in a hidden corner, quietly drinking champagne in his hand and smoking a cigarette.
For him, the only expectation of this upper-class drinking party is Avril, even her grandfather Sean is only a supporting role, and as for the strangers in front of him, he is not even a supporting role.
At this time, the crowd suddenly dodged a way and let three soldiers in general's uniforms come over, Xia Fei fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came was actually the three giants of the dignified military department, not only Leiden and William Song, but even Tai, who had always seen the head of the dragon, also came.
Xia Fei has studied many details of the three giants of the military department, after all, this time the quantum company's impact on the list of the military's *-level suppliers depends on the faces of these three, Leiden and Williamson Xia Fei have already been in contact, but Tai is indeed the first time to meet, he can come to this Jane family's birthday banquet in person, which shows the great influence of the Avril family.
There are almost all the big families with names and surnames in the business world, the Jian family is a businessman, and it is normal for these people to give face, but the appearance of the three giants of the dignified military department is very intriguing, Xia Fei feels that maybe the military department has to rely on the line of the Star Link Company most of the time, although the Jian family does not hang the brand of the military department's *-level supplier, but it is the most favorable guarantee for military communication, so they will attach so much importance to Sean's birthday party.
Since ancient times, merchants have to be a head shorter when they see officials, even the highly developed Pan-Human Alliance is no exception, and the appearance of the three giants of the military department directly detonated the audience, everyone greeted them politely, and many even had a hint of humility.
Xia Fei continued to drink and didn't take the initiative to talk to them, it wasn't that he was pretending to be high, but there were too many people around him, and it was difficult to squeeze in.
The three of them walked around the crowd with a smile, William Song spotted Xia Fei in the distance with a sharp eye, he pulled Latai's sleeve, and the three of them walked towards the corner, as if they were heading for Xia Fei.
Before anyone arrived, Tai's eyes first looked at Xia Fei from top to bottom a few times, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, but Xia Fei didn't feel anything unusual, he had already tried all kinds of eyes, whether it was disdainful, adoring, or murderous, he had long been accustomed to it.
There were some soft surprises and doubts from the crowd, everyone greeted the three generals around, and many merchants who thought they were very powerful were directly ignored by Tai, and the three of them actually took the initiative to find Xia Fei in the corner?
You must know that this is a standard upper-class banquet, and Xia Fei is just a nobody, and he can't be considered the upper class of the alliance anyway.
"Xia Fei, this is the Minister of War, the six-star general of the alliance, Tai" Williamson introduced to Xia Fei with a smile.
Tai stretched out his hand and shook it with Xia Fei, the thick calluses covered Tai's palm, Xia Fei felt that what he was holding was not a hand, but a huge iron tong, hard and full of power.
"Xia Fei? The absolute controlling shareholder of Quantum? The inventor of the Energy Shield Booster? Tai asked in a deep voice, not so much like small talk as more of a question.
Xia Fei nodded, "Exactly, General Tai, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
There were a lot of people around and the voices were noisy, Tai frowned and said, "Find a secluded place, I have a few questions for you." ”
Xia Fei said that he was willing to accompany him, so the two of them entered the Jian family's mansion one after the other.
People were stunned and speculated whether Xia Fei had any personal relationship with Tai.
Thuram walked over from a distance curiously, "General Tai has something to do with Xia Fei?" ”
Williamson picked up a glass of sweet wine and said with a smile: "Tai's habit, every supplier in the military department has been called to the office by Tai to talk alone, and only Tai himself knows what he is talking about." ”
Thuram was stunned, "So the Energy Shield Booster has..."
William said slyly: "I didn't say anything, you don't know anything, everything has to wait for the approval of the Congress." ”
