Chapter 93 Guests
The Zhu family’s banquet has not officially begun, but the guests who arrived early have already become familiar with each other. Everyone talks enthusiastically and exchanges business cards with each other. Even when they meet for the first time, they can still be skilled in calling brothers and brothers.
Xiao Xiaoxiao sat on the dining table, leaning on her chin with one hand. She had been trained to be able to deal with all this well from the beginning of her memory.
He sighed silently in his heart. Zhu Shiyao was indeed enthusiastic enough, but the people at her table were too low-key, so low-key that they didn't want to communicate with others.
The banquet had not yet begun. Yao Yao tasted the fruits and vegetables on the dining table. Xiangyang's eyes were wandering left and right. It seemed that he had never seen such a scene. As for Xiang Chen, the guy was still immersed in his own world.
More and more people walked into the banquet hall. Apart from the middle-aged and old people who were not recognized by Xiao Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao also captured the figure of Han Zhili, the president of Wanghai University, and Zheng Ziling. Xiao Xiaoxiao never thought that she would meet Zheng Ziling at Grandpa Zhu Shiyao's birthday party.
In front of Zheng Ziling, there was a middle-aged man who looked extremely elegant. Xiao Xiaoxiao guessed that it must be Zheng Yao, the current head of the Zheng family, the father of Zheng Ziling.
Xiao Xiaoxiao no longer misses the storm of the sea, and the waiter with the unified standard began to move the dishes at the same pace.
It seemed like someone was controlling it. The arrangement of each dish was uniform and did not consume much time. The fruits and melons on the red table turned into exquisite dishes.
In the main seat where Zhu Shiyao is, there is a majestic old man holding a wine glass.
In an instant, all the people attending the banquet became quiet, and even the old man's friends who were talking and laughing put away the smiles on their faces at this moment.
"I didn't want to mobilize many people, but when I get old, I can't help but I can't help but see my old friends before I get buried, and make friends with new children."
The old man held the wine glass and spoke, there was no sound in the whole hall. Everyone listened to the old man's speech attentively, smiled politely when he said "I can't resist my children", and then smiled calmly, as if he had been rehearsed in advance.
"Thank you all for the old man's birthday. I'll do this first glass of wine first!"
The old man drank the wine in his hand in one go, then raised his glass to signal.
After the old man drank all the fine wines in the cup, someone naturally took the initiative to fill the wines in his hands. People outside the host also raised their glasses to drink together, and then filled them all with them.
"Xiang Chen, give Shi Yao some face!"
Except for the old people on the main seat, everyone raised their glasses to drink together, but Xiang Chen was indifferent. Xiang Yang couldn't help but stretched out his foot and stepped on Xiang Chen. The latter then realized that he raised his glass and drank all the wine in the glass, and then filled it up again.
Xiao Xiaoxiao lowered her head and chuckled, not knowing whether Xiang Chen would give face to Grandpa Zhu or Xiangyang! Fortunately, although there were not many people at this table, the attention of the audience was not here, so no one noticed Xiang Chen who was paddling.
"I thank my friends here for being willing to waste time on me, the old man. I won't say anything polite. I believe everyone knows my thoughts, so I just drink alcohol, old man."
The older generation of revolutionaries worry about the country and the people, even if they don’t say it, everyone knows the old man’s thoughts and knows it clearly.
"This third glass of wine! I will only express my respect for everyone here. Drink it first!"
The old man even drank three glasses of wine. When the third glass of wine was in the main seat, the old people in the main seat also picked up the wine glasses and drank them together after Zhu Ru arrived.
Everyone sat down and everyone started to chat with each other very familiarly.
Xiang Chen sat blankly in his seat. Xiang Chen, who was wandering in a daze, did not become a vegetable. Hearing that his brain can still think.
From Xiao Xiaoxiao's knowledge of the 80th birthday of the old man of the Zhu family, he explained what he saw in Chen's eyes, why are the hot and cold meat and vegetables on the dining table all eight plates; why are there only eight people in each table? Why are all the decorations seen from entering the door that imply eight numbers.
Xiang Chen did not understand the old man's achievements, so he naturally did not deny it. It was just the things in front of him that made Xiang Chen think of the mother and daughter who were selling pancakes in front of the small stall.
It is not difficult to see from Zhu Ruzhi's clothes that the simplicity of the old man's daily life does not hinder the extension of power.
Xiang Chen smiled, then got up and left.
"Xiang Chen, what are you going to do?"
When Xiang Chen got up, he happened to meet Zhu Shiyao who was rushing back, so he smiled awkwardly. "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I'll go to the bathroom."
Xiang Chen left, Zhu Shiyao took a seat. She had a few bites of food first, and then excitedly pulled Xiao Xiaoxiao and Xiangyang and said, "I just heard my second uncle say that he invited many celebrities to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. We will ask for autographs later!"
"Is that handsome guy who keeps staring at you the star you mentioned?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao asked, pointing to a young man staring at Zhu Shiyao not far away.
The young man dressed well and his face was handsome. It was appropriate to describe him as a talented person. However, Xiao Xiaoxiao always felt that he had seen him somewhere, and he couldn't remember it for a moment. However, after touching Xiao Xiaoxiao's gaze, the man glanced at other places as if shy.
"He is Guo Enting, he is... Alas, don't mention him! Look at the person standing on the tumbler. That's Nan Jinhuai who is acting in a palace drama! And the one over there is Luo Bing. Now there is her idol drama on the Internet! And that Ye Qingqing, who was very popular in the past few years!"
Zhu Shiyao introduced her roommate like a treasure. Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile. Only Zhu Shiyao's second uncle had such a big idea and invited popular stars to be tumblers.
"I don't know anything."
The smile on Xiangyang's face was awkward and polite. The people Zhu Shiyao introduced to him were pretty good-looking, but Xiangyang really didn't know any of the so-called stars.
"Just just an actor. Now the entertainment industry is renewing so quickly. Maybe there will be more stars with more traffic tomorrow!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao elegantly brought a piece of beef into her mouth, looking a little disdainful of the stars on the tumbler.
"But that Ye Qingqing was good before. She didn't want to be brought to the position by being unspoken. I heard that she had been hidden for a long time. Later, it was the news that she was banned. Unexpectedly, your second uncle invited her to come."
"I heard from my second uncle that Ye Qingqing was unwilling to accept the unspoken rules, and accidentally said the wrong thing, so he was banned."
Zhu Shiyao was busy sweeping the food, and she was vague when she spoke.
"I'm sure it's not that your second uncle has any bad intentions?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhu Shiyao with a smile.
"My second uncle's old cow may not be able to chew on the tender grass, and my grandfather's birthday today, he dare not!"
He choked off a bowl of seafood soup with a bold look. Zhu Shiyao's words made Yao Yao and Xiangyang choke. The two looked at Zhu Shiyao at the same time and found that there was nothing strange on the latter's face. Yao Yao and Xiangyang could only comfort themselves. Zhu Shiyao was a childish saying...
