Because Guan Hao was brought to the dinner site by Lily in advance, he did not participate in the red carpet ceremony, and there was still a lot of time for the banquet to open, Guan Hao and Lily were both in the study on the second floor, reading the Jack family's collection of books.

In fact, each ancient family has its own secret collection, which has a lot of books, as an "ancient" family that is only more than a hundred years old, its heritage naturally cannot be compared with the real wealthy family, but after the Jack family made a fortune, it pays great attention to the cultural inheritance of the family, and has involved in traditional cultural products all over the world.

Guan Hao cautiously looked at the rare books of the Song Dynasty that were like treasures in his eyes, and looked intently, and the inseparable Lily beauty on the side saw Guan Hao so seriously, and couldn't help but glance at the book in Guan Hao's hand, and when he saw that it was a book from country C, he frowned and said to Guan Hao: "Do you like these books?" I'll give it to you as a gift to our acquaintance! ”

"It's too expensive, isn't it?"

"Hehe, you don't even want 15% of the shares of the Jack family, what are these ancient books of Country C? I've got it for you! ”

"Oh well! Thank you! ”

It seems that this trip to the Naxi Valley has been fruitful: not only did he win the Jack family's property, he got a free fiancée, but also got 30 rare books of the Song Dynasty for free.

After staying in the study for a long time, Lily saw that it was almost time to attend the dinner, so she pulled Guan Hao and walked to the hall on the first floor.

Lily dressed up, looking more delicate and moving, I saw her holding the arm of Guan Hao, who was also in a formal suit, and slowly walked downstairs, the so-called people rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, a well-fitting and straight suit makes him very energetic, a pair of talented and beautiful people. And Cook, who was behind him, was also dressed in a formal suit, closely following behind Lily and Guan Hao. The three of them slowly walked down to the hall, and in front of them was a large space with a luxurious style, and the gorgeous crystal chandeliers on the ceiling reflected a dreamlike colorful light from every angle. The gorgeous European-style tables and chairs are small and delicate at the bar, all painted in pure white, exuding an aristocratic atmosphere everywhere. On each table is a white porcelain vase with pink roses in full bloom, in harmony with the elegance of the surroundings.

Guan Hao looked up: the gorgeous crystal lamps cast a faint light, making the entire banquet hall appear elegant and quiet. Soft saxophone music fills the entire banquet hall like an invisible smoke spreading, slowly and slowly taking over your heart, making it difficult for your heart to feel nervous and angry anymore. The lily flowers exude a faint fragrance, neither strong nor light, but they change your complex mood like nothing, making your heart lake calm like a mirror, without the slightest ripple. Courteous waiters, quiet guests, whispering and laughing from time to time, peaceful and nice environment.

Tonight's dinner was the most important dinner for the Jack family's Eid al-Fitr event this year, and the family had been preparing for it for a long time, and tonight was also an important time for Lily's chosen future husband to meet the family members.

The seven aunts and eight aunts in the family all came to the banquet early, and when Lily came with Guan Hao's money, the women in the family were suddenly boiling.

It was the first young man with an oriental face to attend the welcome dinner on Eid al-Fitr in the history of Lotus Castle, and also had a seer meeting with the head of the family. And he chatted secretly with the head of the family in the reception room for more than an hour.

You know, the head of the family, Kesen, has basically not seen anyone since he was in a car accident, and this young yellow man can talk to him in the reception room for so long.

Guan Hao's appearance shocked the audience instantly, and the guests who didn't know began to speculate, what is the background of this young man with an oriental face, and will he win tonight?

Lily ignored everyone's gaze and whispered discussions, she raised her head and chest, increased her grip on Guan Hao's arm, and with a proud smile on her face, she led Guan Hao to a group of dressed women without hesitation.

The women were mostly female members of the Jack family, including Lily's aunts, aunts, cousins, and even sisters who were the same age as Lily.

Guan Hao saw a familiar face from afar, the beautiful Mona who had worked with her at the King's Bar, and I was also Lily's cousin.

Lily pulled Guan Hao to greet the women of the Jack family one by one.

Guan Hao greeted each of the adult women of the Jack family with his harmless smile. In order to win the favor of everyone.

After saying hello to the seven aunts and eight aunts, he was pestered by a group of girls of the same generation to ask for a phone, but fortunately, Mona's cousin blocked back, Guan Hao was able to get out, with gratitude, Guan Hao asked for a glass of whiskey and toasted Mona, and Mona also returned the salute to Guan Hao.

And Lily and Kuruk, who were inseparable from Guan Hao, looked at Guan Hao with complicated expressions, Luke had long known and knew Mona, and looked at the front with an expressionless face, while Lily, who had long regarded Guan Hao as a forbidden one, had a somewhat ugly expression. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Lily pulled Guan Hao aside and asked very carefully, "Is there anything you want to say?" Mr. Kwan! ”

"You mean Mona? We met at the King's Bar, and the piano player at the King's Bar didn't show up, so I became a pianist temporarily. We worked well together, and I invited her to a drink during the break, only to find out that she was my cousin. ”

"You're playing with her? Do you talk about piano? ”

"Yes, my piano is pretty good!"

"Okay, then you're going to perform alone tonight, and the candidates who were invited to the opening festival tonight are going to perform on stage."

"Ahh I'm going to perform! It's not that I'm willing to invest in your family's business, and I'm giving you the shares that your dad gave you! ”

"Hee-hee, do you think it's so easy to invite you to the opening festival? Do you know who your opponent is this time? ”

"Competitors? Oh, my God. It's going to kill you! I'm just here to see the festival. ”

"Tell you what! The Open Barrel Festival is a show for our family to choose a fiancé for the girls of the family, and the candidates who were invited to participate in the competition had to fight in addition to music and wine, but the fight was canceled due to the fact that the fight was too violent and people were often injured. ”

"It sounds more complicated than the ancient competition of our country C."

"Your most powerful competitor this time is Anthony of the John family, this Anthony can be described as a young man, with a good family background and a handsome person, if it weren't for the John family, I would definitely consider him."

"Anthony, I've been in contact with, at the King's Bar, and the impression is still very good!"

"Then you take it seriously, you must be careful of him!"

"Don't worry, I'm measured!" Guan Hao glanced at Lily meaningfully.

All the guests at the banquet arrived, and Lily said, "Stay with me for a while!" Later, she went to the back hall, and she was going to ask her father, Kesen Sr., to come out and give a toast.

Western-style banquets pay more attention to the sense of ceremony and communication, and the food is very simple cold dishes, but for high-end banquets, the expenditure on water and wine will be a very huge expense.

Fortunately, the Jack family has their own whiskey, which is still the best and oldest whiskey in all of A country. As long as the guests can drink, they can be served without restrictions.

Such a banquet is a rare place to communicate, everyone communicates with each other, exchanges information and resources.

In the era of underdeveloped information, such banquets are the main source of information for people.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Smiling slowly from the back hall, the wheelchair was slowly pushed by his baby daughter Lily to the stage wrapped in red carpet, and Kesen Lao Kesen smiled and waved to the guests below.

The audience burst into warm applause, and everyone spontaneously paid tribute to this respected old man.

In the history of the Jack family, the old Kesen is a milestone important figure, it is he who created a new glorious era belonging to the Jack family, and it is his unremitting perseverance and hard work that has transformed the Jack family from a pure agricultural estate to a diversified modern enterprise.

If it weren't for his only son, who was not angry and brought the family into a financial crisis, he would have stopped worrying about family affairs and enjoyed his old age in peace.

"Friends, welcome to our proud Lotus Fort, when my ancestors brought their families to the Naxi Valley, there was nothing here, it was the result of the hard work of our ancestors here, this achievement is great, but also hard-won, we swear to defend our homeland. Welcome back to my home, where all the best whiskey and the best music in all A. I'm your old friend Kesen, and I'm back! ”

The audience once again burst into applause and cheers.

"Today is the welcome dinner of the opening music festival in 1996, and it is also the belated coming-of-age ceremony of my baby angel Lily, tonight is a good day, let's witness the beauty of tonight together! Raise your glasses, toast to the music, toast to tomorrow. Old Kesen raised his glass and took a sip of his whiskey.

The banquet officially began, the guests looked for people they knew or wanted to know to communicate, and the band on the stage began to play.

The whole atmosphere was immediately enthusiastic.

Guan Hao looked at the crowd around him with a wine glass, Cook accompanied him, and two young people stood in a corner far from the stage to observe the guests, and soon Cook discovered the clue: Anthony, the youngest son of John's family, was talking to his black bodyguard?

Rook told Guan Hao about the situation along with the situation that Guan Hao had just told him to go out to run errands, and Guan Hao quickly fell into deep thought after hearing this, and Rook knew that Guan Hao was thinking about how to stand out from the competition next.
