Chapter 17 Rich or Expensive
"It's not difficult to choose clothes, especially men's clothing, there are not many tricks. But you've got to tell me what you're going to wear for so I can decide where we're going to buy it. After taking over the "consultant" job, Wan Shilin asked with a serious face.
"It's a ...... A friend's dinner. ”
"Family banquet?" Wan Shilin was stunned for a moment, then squinted and said:
"What's the reason for your friend's dinner...... Do you want to wear formal clothes?"
"Hehe, that's the kind of ...... A large family with status and status. ”
Shanhe didn't dare to say much, for fear of being guessed by Wan Shilin, but if he couldn't help but say it, then the other party wouldn't be able to help him choose clothes, so he was very careful when confiding information.
Unexpectedly, the little-known mountains and rivers actually had such upper-class friends, Wan Shilin was quite surprised, and thought about it:
"Then I see, it looks like I'm going to have to buy you a decent one. However, there are many levels of decency, tell me, who are the guests attending the banquet?"
"Well...... Shanhe didn't know the identity of the guests, but the people who could participate in the Bai family's family banquet were afraid that they wouldn't be much lower, so they replied with four words:
"Rich or expensive!"
After hearing this, Wan Shilin suddenly burst out laughing and said:
"Haha, Shanhe, I found that you are getting more and more able to blow now! It's like going to Bai Lu's house for a banquet. Okay, okay, I see, I'll take you to a place where you're either rich or expensive to buy clothes." Don't be too expensive then!" After speaking, he patted the slightly embarrassing mountains and rivers, took a taxi and drove towards the city center.
......
At 5:30 p.m., Shanhe arrived at the Peach Blossom Paradise Resort on the outskirts of the city on time.
It is understood that the Peach Blossom Paradise Resort is one of the many industries of the Bai family, which has been built for more than ten years, and the birthday banquet of the old man Bai is held here every year.
As far as the eye can see, the resort at this moment is all a festive red, and it is more lively than the New Year.
The open space in the courtyard was already full of vehicles, and although more than a dozen security guards were struggling to command, it was still difficult to move an inch. It can be described as a crowd of cars and horses, and a sea of people!
Passing through the bustling crowd, it didn't take long for Shanhe to find the banquet hall, glanced at the message sent to him by Bai Lu, and walked straight to the No. 1 banquet hall.
Due to the large number of people who came to celebrate his birthday, one banquet hall could not sit at all, so the Bai family arranged a total of four banquet halls and more than 200 tables and chairs to receive VIPs.
The No. 1 banquet hall is specially prepared for the relatives of the Bai family and the most respected guests.
Seeing that most of the hall was full, Shanhe hurriedly walked inward, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by a staff member.
"Hello, what hall are you going to?"
"Hall No. 1, is this it?" Shanhe looked up.
"This is Hall 1, yes. But I need to make sure you're on the list, what do you call you?" the staff member said, gesturing to the list in his hand.
I didn't expect to have to "check the ticket" for a meal, and Shanhe was surprised. But when he saw that everyone else was like this, he told his name and stood aside and waited.
About two minutes later, the staff checked the list twice, but could not find the word "mountains and rivers", so they had to say apologetically:
"I'm sorry sir, your name is not on the list, you can't enter for a while!"
"What?
Shanhe looked unconvinced, picked up the list and looked for it carefully.
The list is seven or eight pages long, and there are three or four hundred people, to say the least. After Shanhe looked at it carefully, he found that his name was indeed not on it, so he had to take out his mobile phone and send Bai Lu a message for help.
Within a minute, Bai Lu walked out of the hall.
Today's Bai Lu is wearing a white dress with lace edges, a deep V-neckline, hair coiled on the top of her head, a pair of golden high heels under her feet, and those two peerless long legs, which are really beautiful!
The first time I saw Bai Lu in such a costume, Shanhe couldn't help but straighten his eyes, his heart beat like thunder, he was drunk and forgetful, and he looked useless.
You can't blame him for such a performance, because looking at the men around him, after seeing Bai Lu appear, they are basically that virtuous, so it's not surprising.
When Bai Lu got closer, everyone realized that her face was not good-looking. As soon as she stopped, she said fiercely to the staff:
"Why don't you have my boyfriend's name? How many times have I told you to let him in, why don't you remember any of them? Don't you want to do it?"
When saying the word "boyfriend", Bai Lu deliberately accentuated his tone, causing everyone to cast surprised glances at the mountains and rivers. Pointing and whispering, it makes Shanhe feel uncomfortable.
When the staff heard this, he actually stopped Miss Bai's boyfriend outside, scolded himself thousands of times in his heart, hurriedly bowed his head tremblingly and apologized, and invited Shanhe into the inner hall.
It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Xiao Wang, the staff member who was trained, raised his head and looked at Xiao Li on the side and asked:
"Li Zi, when did Miss Bai just say that she said about adding her name? Why don't I remember it at all?"
Xiao Li also looked aggrieved and said:
"I don't know, no one told me!"
"You don't know, then, who did Miss Bai talk to?"
......
Passing through most of the banquet hall, Shanhe and Bai Lu sat at a round table very far in the front.
There are ten people sitting at this table, all of whom look young, and they guess that they should be the grandchildren of Old Man Bai.
After Bai Lu took a seat, except for an official nodding and smiling, he didn't say a word to Shanhe, and then played with his mobile phone, which made Shanhe slightly embarrassed.
Although no one introduced him, everyone saw an unfamiliar face sitting next to Bai Lu, and they all guessed this person's figure. The curious gaze was like an X-ray, scanning the body of Shanhe.
"This is Bai Lu's boyfriend? It's too ordinary, isn't it?"
"Well, it doesn't look like it's as tall as Bai Lu, hehe, it's really short and concise. ”
"It's really not good-looking, but maybe people are rich and have five cars?"
"Cut, what if you have knowledge?
The five people sitting opposite each other had begun to talk to each other in private. Although Bai Lu couldn't hear the content, with what she knew about her cousins, she could basically guess a thing or two.
On the contrary, he couldn't guess the content of other people's conversations, but his hearing was stronger than ordinary people, but he took these words into his ears word for word.
"How do you know that people don't know him?
"I don't know. However, if you look at his mobile phone and his outfit, he is obviously not a child of a big family, what insight can he have?"
"Oh, you didn't say you hadn't noticed. Tsk, sure enough. ”
Unexpectedly, the dress that he bought back by the "consultant" was still so unbearable in the eyes of these people, Shanhe sighed secretly and slowly lowered his head.
Wan Shilin's vision is much higher than that of mountains and rivers, but compared with these sons, it is far from it. In Wan Shilin's opinion, this set of dresses worth three thousand oceans should be enough to cope with various occasions, but in the eyes of the Bai family, three thousand yuan is just the price of a tie.
