294. Tonight, all will know
"In 10 minutes, the birthday banquet will officially begin, please return to your seats."
Xia Zhijian stood up and said to them with a little emotion: "Let's talk about it next time I have a chance." β
Yang Changshuo said with some unfinished thoughts: "Let's talk about the artificial sun for 10 minutes, haven't you talked about it yet?" β
His eyes were eager and expectant, like an old urchin, and there was a little bit of secret pride.
Especially about the artificial sun, I chatted with Chen Ya some time ago and got a little "first-hand information".
Now he is scratching his heart and liver, itching so much that he can't do it, so he wants to talk to someone.
After all, he was one of the Bole who discovered Chen Ya back then, and the higher Chen Ya's achievements, the more honorable he was.
"Elder Yang, don't forget what day it is. Next time, there's a chance next time. β
Xia Zhijian politely refused.
The High Commissioner was already secretly watching them. Today is Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet, and it has a bad impact on them gathering here to chat. It's unacceptable.
"Don't you talk about it? Next time? Yang Changshuo looked disappointed.
Fang Bai smiled: "Yes, Elder Yang, next time I'll set up a game and let the two of you talk to your heart's content, I can't run away." β
The two stood up and said goodbye, and Yang Changshuo felt a little regretful. At this time, what was more regrettable than him was Lu Qingxuan and Liu Ruying next to him.
Lu Qingxuan has never felt such a disappointment and regret as today when he heard that Old Lady Lu's birthday banquet was about to officially begin, rather than excitement.
Although she had been preparing for this birthday banquet for a whole month, even though it only took a simple sentence from Mrs. Lu to change her family's situation today......
But more than that, she wanted to know more about Chen Ya, Beichen and his past.
There are still so many mysteries on him that have not been solved, and there are so many things that she does not know.
Qin Yunchu held his hand on his chin, and his eyes shone brightly in the warm yellow light:
"Obviously he called us here, but he himself hasn't shown up now, and I don't know what bad water he is holding back again."
Gu Yuqing smiled and said, "You also know that he is holding back the bad water, I think you should think about it now, what tricks he will make later, and make plans in advance." β
When Chen Ya suddenly came to the Lu family in the capital, the two of them had a premonition that he probably had some intentions.
What they didn't know was just where Chen Ya's intentions would lead the future of the Lu family.
The senior committee member waved at Lu Qingxuan, called her aside, and asked in a low voice:
"What about Chen Ya? He didn't come. β
Lu Qingxuan was in a trance for a while, not knowing whether he should tell the senior committee member what he heard today.
"IβI don't know where he is."
Senior Committee Member frowned and said, "There is an empty seat in the front row, which is very eye-catching, go and call Lu Shuying over and let her sit here." β
Lu Qingxuan nodded silently. In the end, she still didn't say.
If Chen Ya is planning something, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether he tells the high committee member or not.
She now had an empty sense of withdrawal from the entire banquet, as if she just needed to lie down and let things develop.
She couldn't change anything.
Lu Shuying lifted her skirt and sat next to Wang Shaoxian excitedly, greeting the people around her one by one.
She felt that it was a good thing that she could sit at this table, but in the eyes of Lu Qingxuan now, it didn't matter.
I've seen the Milky Way, how can she be confined to a grain of stardustβthat's how she feels now. It doesn't matter what kind of competition for fame and fortune and calculating everything.
The senior committee member took the stage again and continued into the microphone:
"First of all, I am here, on behalf of the Lu family, I would like to thank all the distinguished guests, the gifts and blessings you have brought have made us feel that the friendship is priceless, and below, I will read the gift list sent by the distinguished guests."
Hearing the words of the senior committee member, everyone in the audience sat up straight one after another, and their expressions became serious.
On this occasion, the gift sent out is not only to show the importance of the Lu family, but also an opportunity to show one's strength.
If the gift given out is compared to others, you will not say anything on your face, and you will be secretly ridiculed by some people.
The upper circles are actually no different, and sometimes very vain. In some cases, it is even more vain than in the market.
The wealthy family in the fantasy of ordinary people must be gentle and knowledgeable, and they are indifferent to fame and fortune, which are not in fact.
The reason why rich people give people the impression of being more reasonable and more qualified is simply because rich people are more generous in money, and this money is everything for people who have no money.
Vanity is a weakness of human nature that everyone has, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. If the rich were really light and did not compete with others, those luxury goods would not have so many price grades.
"Yu Liangbin, President of Yuantu Company, will give a pair of 5 taels of pure gold lions!"
A man walked up to the stage with a square plate made of red satin in his hand, on which he held a pair of pure gold lions, and placed the golden lions on the tray on a wooden seat on the stage, and many people looked up to look at it.
The little lion is shining with golden light, and under the illumination of the spotlights, the tiger is vigorous, and the teeth and claws are very majestic.
A man sitting at the bottom of the table had a red glow on his face, and several people around him also looked at him. He is Yu Liangbin.
According to the current gold price, 5 taels of pure gold is 100,000, and a pair is 200,000, and he sent 200,000 out with this shot, which is not heroic.
But he didn't notice that the eyes around him were faintly disdainful.
"Zhong Jinsong of Luotai Group, send a jade golden dragon!"
A lifelike wyvern that seemed to be flying in the air was placed in a tray and presented, and then the wyvern was placed behind the pair of lions cubs.
The flying dragon has a golden body, and the mane on its back is carved from black jade, as if it is in the wind, and the dragon's eye is pitch black, which seems to be made of the finest black jade from Yunnan and Burma.
This golden dragon is very large, weighing 5 pounds, placed behind the pair of lions just now, the two little lions that were originally majestic and majestic, as if they were several pieces down at once, like two cubs, were played by the golden dragon behind them between their claws.
Seeing this golden dragon, Yu Liangbin, who was quite confident just now, suddenly turned pale. He didn't know the price of this golden dragon, but he could see from the quality that it was at least one 0 more than the gift he gave just now.
Yu Liangbin heard that someone was talking next to him.
"Mr. Zhong, your golden dragon is really majestic, it seems that your Luotai Group has been thriving recently."
"Whereever, it's just barely breaking even."
"Wow! You are really too modest, this industry can break even, it is already a leading position, and the future development prospects are limitless. β
"I have won awards and awards, all of which are exchanged for the current price of health, and my average sleep time has not exceeded 4 hours during this time."
"Mr. Zhong, have you ever considered absorbing some investment?"
"Are you interested? Yes! It depends on your sincerity......"
Yu Liangbin listened to the conversation next to him, and his face turned green with envy.
Who are the people who come to the banquet on this occasion? They are all the elites of the elite, the celebrities of the celebrities, here, which one does not hold the resources of one side?
The customers here are more accurate than some of the summits, and some of them are in the same industry, and they are all staring at each other. It's all about effective socializing, stomping your feet, and smoking a cigarette all represent your status and pattern!
Yu Liangbin's long-distance company was originally a newly wealthy man who made online games, and in the eyes of some families, he was a nouveau riche.
Where did he understand the unspoken rules of this kind of family communication before? The gifts sold here are not as small as 100,000 or 200,000 gifts, which is really not enough.
Yu Liangbin saw that some people turned their faces and cast a slightly disdainful look at themselves, and suddenly regretted it.
I knew how good it would be to grit my teeth and make the lion bigger!
The senior committee member continued:
"Ao Naiming of the Tuxing Sea Group, send a pair of gold and silver listening bottles; Jiang Jiajiang Changxin sent a jasper screen to ......"
Every time the senior committee member pronounced a name, someone brought a gift, and finally, the gifts sent over were piled up all over the front desk, and under the warm yellow spotlights, it looked golden and dazzling.
"Thank you again for your intentions, because of your good fate, we can make up the meaning of today's 'full of gold and jade', through today's auspicious celebration, I wish you all can be like this full of gold and jade, everything is satisfactory!"
The audience applauded, and many people shouted "I wish the old man good luck", this is the person who has received the favor of the old lady Lu, spontaneously sent blessings to the old man, and soon, others also followed suit, shouting together.
The senior committee member beckoned to Lu Qingxuan and motioned for her to come to the stage to continue the process.
Lu Qingxuan almost forgot that he still had a task, hesitated for a while, slowly came to the stage, picked up the gift sheet and said:
"Our children of the Lu family are also unwilling, and on the auspicious day of the old lady Lu's birthday banquet, we have also prepared a lot of generous gifts, and below, on behalf of the children of the Lu family, I congratulate the old lady on her birthday."
"Zi Lu Yuanhu, send Zhonghai Tang outfit a set."
"Zilu Yuanbao, give a Breguet watch."
"Sun Lu Ningna, send a pair of hollow dragon pattern cores ......"
ββ¦β¦β
She read down the gift list, and the more she ranked, the closer she was to the old lady Lu, and the more marginal her status was.
Therefore, the name Chen Ya is naturally descriptive. Lu Ruixiang's family was originally a side branch, and Chen Ya was brought over later by Chen Sheng, who was in the redundancy, so naturally it should be at the end of the gift list.
The gift list is indeed arranged like this, Chen Ya's name is at the end, but his name is circled with a red pen, and a big "Γ" is drawn.
Lu Qingxuan knew what this meant. If the children of the Lu family make any mistakes and violate etiquette, they will use a red pen to cross their names as a warning, and if they commit it again next time, it will not be as simple as a cross.
The reason why Chen Ya was crossed is also clear at a glance: he did not prepare a gift.
This surprised Lu Qingxuan very much.
Chen Ya has the strength to give a luxury item that is more high-end than any gift here, and not long ago, he also mentioned that the Patek Philippe watch that he was going to give to the old lady was broken.
This at least shows that he has the idea of giving gifts to the old lady, why would he not give anything today, so that he was looked down upon by the head of the Lu family?
Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but be really worried, something urgent happened to Chen Ya.
In the fugue, Lu Qingxuan read the gift list to the end, and finally said:
"Next, it is a gift from the children of our Lu family for the old lady, just outside the window, please look away."
At this time, it was 8 o'clock in the evening, the lights in the room dimmed, and everyone's eyes looked out the window.
β¦β¦ At this time, in the side hall, Chen Chi, who was wearing a white dress, walked out of the dressing room.
Wei Mingzhe, who was wearing a suit, was already waiting there, smiling.
In the side hall, the sound is synchronized with the main hall, and the lights are dimmed, and no one notices the bride appearing at this time, and people's eyes are looking out the window.
This time, of course, it was mainly a birthday banquet, and Chen Chi's wedding was just incidental.
Lu Ruixiang had persuaded Chen Chi many times before to hold a wedding on the 85th floor of Mingyue Building, which is a wish that many brides dream of satisfying, not to mention that there will be so many celebrities present, Chen Chi can have a wedding on this occasion, which originally belongs to Gao Pan.
Of course, since it is Gao Pan, Chen Chi doesn't have to expect everyone's eyes to be on her, and she can't invite her friends. Despite the fact that today is her wedding, she is a lone performer and not even the main character.
But she was already very satisfied, and across seventeen or eighteen tables from Wei Mingzhe, the two looked at each other, and both of them were smirking.
There was no master of ceremonies, no groomsman shows, and no wedding vows, just a simple ring exchange ceremony.
Because you can't dominate the crowd. They are guests, Mrs. Lu is the master of life, and the main and secondary monarchs and ministers must be distinguished, if everyone's eyes are focused on the wedding, it will seem that Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet is messing around.
At this time, the eyes of many people were staring out the window, Lu Qingxuan pinched his watch, beating in the world to show the moment of 8:00, only 3 seconds later, fireworks rose in the distance.
Sure enough, it was the same effect as watching it with Chen Ya that day.
Lu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the fireworks in the distance are far away, they are so large that they can be seen very clearly. After a show, the fireworks will form four big characters in the air: "Blessing, Lu, Longevity, and Happiness." "And thirty seconds in the air, enough for everyone to see.
This is a birthday gift for Mrs. Lu, and it is also for the entire capital. Tonight, everyone in the capital will know that Mrs. Lu has a birthday.
Just as the fireworks in the distance were rising into the air, a trailing explosion suddenly sounded outside the window.
Everyone only saw: from the long street in the distance to the window, a long road of several miles, golden fireworks rose one after another, like a fountain, and like the waves of the sea.
Thousands of fireworks and tens of thousands of Venus rose into the sky at the same time, bursting in the night, dyeing the night of the entire capital into colorful colors.
The loud sound almost seemed to explode in everyone's ears, which was deafening, and the heart was about to jump out of the chest.
The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain.
After three rounds of fireworks, there was like a golden rain in the air, and then, four big characters appeared in the air:
New.
Marriage.
Fast.
Happy.
The four words appeared at night, and it was a small gift to the wedding on the 85th floor of the Mingyue Building, which no one paid attention to.
Tonight, everyone will know that there is a wedding here.
This chapter should be regarded as yesterday's, and today's owe first
