God take me to the sky

Chapter 177 Banquet (1)

Night is coming.

In the banquet hall of a five-star hotel, when the two arrived, the banquet had already begun.

The lights are bright, the doors are full of guests, and the people passing by raise their glasses and shuttle gracefully through the hall.

Cheng Xinnuo glanced inside as soon as he entered the door. People here were all wearing very formal evening attire. Fortunately, Lan Qiaoyi took her to buy an evening attire in the afternoon. Otherwise, if she appeared in casual attire, she might not even be able to enter the door.

It's just that there were no birthday wishes or anything like that in the banquet hall. Seeing the sign "Lan's Real Estate Banquet Hall" written on the entrance of the banquet hall, she once thought it was just an ordinary banquet.

But it was Cheng Xinnuo's first time attending such a large-scale birthday party, so he couldn't help being curious: "Senior, you said that your dad celebrates his birthday every year, wouldn't that be a little extravagant?"

Not to mention booking such a large banquet hall, the food and wine on site alone cost a lot of money. The key is that the people who attend this kind of banquet seem to be not hungry, so few people will eat at those tables. She swears at the delicious food on the table. If you have money, you don't need to waste it like this, right?
"This kind of banquet is also a means for them to grab wealth, so you don't have to feel sorry for them." Lan Qiaoyi said lightly.

Although what he said was a little disdainful, Cheng Xinnuo still understood, probably even the people who attended the banquet regarded this method as a means of doing business, right?

I can't help but feel a little chilled in my heart. Shouldn't birthdays be celebrated with family members? Is it really good to treat it as a means of business communication?
Muttering in his mouth: "Sure enough, he is an evil capitalist!"

Lan Qiaoyi sneered: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the evil capitalist."

When they came in just now, she noticed that the guests here were surrounded by a man who was about 50 years old, and people kept walking over to exchange greetings with him. Cheng Xinnuo guessed that the man should be his father.

I was a little nervous, but before I could react, Lan Qiaoyi had already dragged him to that person.

"Qiaoyi is back too?"

"Mr. Lan is indeed a good-looking talent."

……

As soon as he approached Lan Qiaoyi's father, the people around him all sent praises one after another. Lan Qiaoyi smiled and greeted them one by one, and continued to approach his father without stopping.

Probably his father didn't guess that he appeared here suddenly. When he first saw him, he was a little shocked, but he quickly regained his composure: "When will you come back, why don't you tell me in advance."

"The plane in the morning decided to come back temporarily, so I didn't notify you." Lan Qiaoyi had a calm expression and a flat tone, as if he was talking to an unimportant person.

"This is?" After saying that, Father Lan suddenly raised his cup and asked in Cheng Xinnuo's direction. He raised his chin slightly and looked at her condescendingly, as if it was unexpected that Lan Qiaoyi would bring a Girls appear together.

Cheng Xinnuo was at a loss as to how to introduce herself, and Lan Qiaoyi answered in his ear: "She is a classmate of our school, Cheng Xinnuo."

Then he turned his head to look at her, and said calmly: "He is my father."

"Hello, Uncle." Cheng Xinnuo said stiffly, paused for half a second, then suddenly remembered something, raised the gift box in his hand, pursed his lips and said, "Happy birthday!"

Father Lan was taken aback for a moment, as if it was his birthday today, but she was the first one who would directly say happy birthday to him, and she came with a gift.

The surprise on her face quickly passed, and then she slowly took the gift box in her hand: "Thank you, what is this?"

"Cufflinks." Cheng Xinnuo replied that she and Lan Qiaoyi picked it out at the mall in the afternoon. A small pair of cuffs cost thousands of dollars. She picked the cheapest pair specially. , but the shape is very unique.

When choosing gifts in the afternoon, Lan Qiaoyi suggested that she buy cufflinks. She agreed wholeheartedly. She didn't expect to find out that the cufflinks cost so much money when she got there. Although Lan Qiaoyi insisted on paying, she always felt that since it was a gift Or she'd be better off paying for it herself.

Therefore, when she swiped the card, she felt distressed for a long time. To buy this pair of cuffs, she felt that she would have to sell several more paintings to earn back...
