Chapter 341 Charity Dinner

After Bai Xiaobai and Gao Chao finished packing up, they closed the store and took a taxi directly to Haochuang Hotel.

It was already 07:30 in the evening when we arrived at Haochuang Hotel.

There is only half an hour until the charity dinner begins.

At the hotel counter, Bai Xiaobai took out his mobile phone, opened the electronic invitation letter, and motioned to the lady at the counter.

The lady at the counter greeted very warmly, "Sir, the charity dinner is held at the Daohuaxiang Pavilion on the sixth floor. The dinner party is 10 minutes ahead of schedule, and the time has not arrived yet, so it has not been cleaned up yet. You can sit in the lobby and wait for a while."

The lobby on the first floor of Haochuang Hotel has set up a row of high-end leather sofas, as well as various coffee tables. There are some clean water cups on the coffee tables, as well as some simple tea supply.

Many well-dressed men and women have been standing in the lobby one after another. The men are basically wearing suits, and the women are all dressed in evening gowns.

Judging by their attire, they are probably high-end people that Jiang Hai can call well, and they were also invited to participate in tonight's charity dinner.

Bai Xiaobai roughly counted them visually, there were almost a hundred people, they were standing or sitting in the lobby on the first floor, talking with each other.

Bai Xiaobai and Gao Chao went over, and also picked up two empty sofas to sit on.

Bai Xiaobai's arrival didn't arouse many people's ideas. These people only chat with people they know each other well, and the rest are just a bunch of air in their eyes.

Different road non-phase plan.

Naturally, Bai Xiaobai would not take the initiative to go over to join in the fun with these high-end people. After he sat down with Gao Chao, he behaved very low-key, tried not to attract attention, and chatted with each other.

Not long after Bai Xiaobai and Gao Chao sat down, three people came in outside the hotel, attracting the attention of all the guests.

Headed by a man in a high-end black suit.

He has well-maintained and shiny hair, styled with gel cream. Although his appearance is very ordinary, but because of his high-end clothes, he has added points to his appearance, and he still looks quite interesting.

Bai Xiaobai recognized this person at a glance, it was Mr. Chen from Hengyuan Hotel.

In the last culinary competition, Hengyuan Hotel lost, so it completely lost Ito Nano's right to settle in Japanese food. Mr. Chen also left in disgrace.

A middle-aged man standing on Mr. Chen's right side was also wearing a suit, with a slightly bloated figure, which stretched the suit a bit, making it very uncomfortable.

This middle-aged man is Bai Xiaobai's former neighbor Baldy Wang. He looked at Bai Xiaobai from a distance with burning eyes, revealing a very unfriendly look.

Standing on Mr. Chen's left is a woman in her early thirties, wearing a bright red evening dress, with delicate and slightly thick makeup, and wearing high-heeled shoes, walking gracefully and gracefully.

Bai Xiaobai also knew this woman, she was Li Ruonan, the reporter who came with the Market Management Bureau not long ago.

It really does mean that the road to enemies is narrow. Although Bai Xiaobai's behavior is upright and he is not afraid of anyone, he really doesn't want to see these three people.

So he simply turned his head and chatted with Gao Chao privately about some current affairs news, just to pass the time.

After Mr. Chen walked to the sofa rest area, he recognized Bai Xiaobai at a glance.

"Boss Bai, I was also invited to the charity dinner today. It's a pleasure to meet you." Mr. Chen walked up to Bai Xiaobai and stretched out his right hand.

Bai Xiaobai is also a person of quality, no matter whether it is sincere or not, since the other party is superficially polite, Bai Xiaobai will not lose face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Chen." Bai Xiaobai got up and extended his right hand, and the two shook hands politely.

have to say.

After all, Mr. Chen is the boss of Hengyuan Hotel, and he is an absolute tycoon in the Jianghai catering industry. The contacts he has accumulated over the past few decades are not a joke, and they are far more extensive than those accumulated by Bai Xiaobai.

Many people in the lobby are basically middle-aged men and women. They all know Mr. Chen, but they don't know much about Bai Xiaobai.

After seeing Mr. Chen shaking hands with Bai Xiaobai.

A middle-aged male guest walked up to Mr. Chen and asked, "Mr. Chen, who is this Boss Bai?"

Mr. Chen smiled charmingly, and said half praise and half derogatory, "Mr. Bao, this Boss Bai is the most famous man in our Jianghai. You don't even know him. It's really hard to say."

The one named Mr. Bao, who is too old, rarely pays attention to local news, and still doesn't know much about Bai Xiaobai at all, he continued to speak directly, "Mr. Chen, look at what you said, I don't know this boss Bai, who is he?" .”

Mr. Chen smiled and answered Mr. Bao, "Boss Bai is the one in Chaotianmen Street who sells [-] tea eggs. Yes, that restaurant is called Xiaobai Restaurant. Boss Bai is a famous man in Jianghai."

When Mr. Bao heard this, he finally came to his senses, "Oh, it turned out to be that restaurant. I thought it was someone, so it was him."

Mr. Bao's tone was quite disdainful, he looked Bai Xiaobai up and down, with a little disdain.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Bao continued to sing together as if they were singing a double reed, their faces were quite ugly, and although there was nothing dirty in their words, there was something in their words, which was obviously ironic.

It mainly revolves around the pricing issue of Xiaobai Restaurant.

Bai Xiaobai didn't bother to talk to them at all, and continued to chat with Gao Chao in private.

The guests around, after knowing Bai Xiaobai's identity, were also whispering and discussing in low voices.

Most of the male guests discussed about the price and pricing of Xiaobai restaurant, while most of the female guests commented on Bai Xiaobai.

"This Boss Bai is the owner of a small restaurant. His shop is located in such a dilapidated street, yet he dares to set the price so expensive. I really admire his courage. There are fools who really send money to his shop."

"Although the cultural level of people nowadays has generally improved, there are still some people who are stupid and rich in money."

"But having said that, I heard that there are a lot of repeat customers in his store. Maybe it's because the food is delicious. Even if you ask for it, it's impossible to invite so many."

"This is a marketing method. Please ask for more trust. If you build up the reputation of the store in the early stage, you will have a steady stream of customers in the future. If you want me to say that Boss Bai looks young, he is quite capable."

After all, most of the male guests were Jiang Hai's well-known and well-informed people. Although they had different opinions on Bai Xiaobai and Xiaobai's restaurant, they were generally not insulting.

But most of the female guests present were quite different. They basically came here relying on their husbands. They didn't have much ability, and they belonged to the category with long hair and short knowledge, so the comments were very unpleasant.

"He is the owner of the Xiaobai restaurant on Chaotianmen Street. No wonder I saw him for the first time. He smelled like a low-class man. The suit on him cost only a few thousand yuan. It’s a cheap thing and I’m ashamed to come to this kind of charity gala, and I’m not afraid of making people laugh.”

"He looks pretty good, but this cheap suit is too classy, ​​and my housekeeper doesn't wear it."

"Hey, why do you think he came to the charity dinner? Couldn't he be invited by Mr. Peng? How could Mr. Peng invite such a person?"

"I don't need Mr. Peng's invitation. This time, I donated more than [-] yuan to the Ice Fund to participate in the charity dinner. I think he is dressed like this. Maybe he has donated all his belongings to be eligible to come."

"If you don't have money, you can slap in the face to pretend to be a fat person to donate, haha."

The words of the male guests were rarely aimed at Bai Xiaobai himself, but the comments of the female guests were really disgusting.

Bai Xiaobai has sharp ears and eyesight, although the voices of some guests are very low, he can still hear some general information.

Bai Xiaobai has a motto, go your own way and let others say it.

Of course, when there is an opportunity, these so-called superior people must be beaten.
