Chapter 113 Banquet

The Peninsula Villa Hotel is located on the riverside of Shanghai and is the only all-villa hotel in Shanghai.

Once you step in, it's like you've traveled back to Shanghai in the 1930s. There are two worlds inside and outside the door. The red bricks, narrow alleys, and horse-head walls perfectly blend the graceful temperament of Jiangnan and the romance of French style.

Today is the birthday party of Wang Ke, the eldest daughter of the Wang family. Many people came. Originally, there were not so many people, and Wang Guangwen only planned to hold a small party.

Invite some relatives, friends and close business partners, but unexpectedly more and more people came.

Many people came uninvited, and although he knew many people, he just knew them. He had only seen them in some public places or on TV and newspapers.

For example, the one who is walking in now, the Consul General of the Eagle Federation in Shanghai, is holding a gift box in his hand.

"Boss Wang, I wish you a happy birthday and beauty and health forever!"

"Thank you, thank you, please come in." Wang Guangwen bowed stiffly to express his gratitude and reached out to take the gift.

He was shocked and didn't know what happened. At first he thought these people had gone to the wrong place.

After all, although his Wang family has some assets, it is far from being ranked in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the financial center of China.

Finally, it was confirmed that these people were not mistaken and were indeed here to congratulate. Wang Guangwen hurriedly arranged for the hotel to change the banquet hall and ran to the door to receive the guests.

The hotel originally did not accept this kind of temporary change of the banquet hall, but the manager was dumbfounded after recognizing several guests, and then quickly added staff to arrange.

"Hello, Boss Wang, I wish your daughter a happy birthday, year after year!"

Three people came towards him, the boss of the Shanghai business community, Jack Ma from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and another one he knew, the president of Johnson & Johnson Asia Pacific.

It was outrageous. All the members of the Chinese board of directors came. Wang Guangwen's heart was trembling, and he greeted them with a stiff smile on his face.

"Boss Wang, I wish your daughter a happy birthday. I came uninvited. Sorry to bother you." Johnson & Johnson President Perez took the initiative to shake hands, bowed his head and bent over, and his posture was very low.

"No, no, it's our honor for all the bosses to come to my daughter's birthday party."

Although Wang Guangwen had received several big guys tonight, he still felt a little flattered to see the president of Johnson & Johnson like this. He was in the medical equipment business, and Johnson & Johnson was the global leader in this industry. He had gone to see this president before, but he had to make an appointment for a long time before he could see him.

After a few polite words, seeing the Shanghai boss chatting with the Consul General, Wang Guangwen pulled Perez and whispered:

"Perez, why are you doing this?"

"Why?"

"Why..." Wang Guangwen was suddenly speechless.

He didn't know how to express it better. Did he ask why others came when they came? However, the doubts in his heart were about to explode. He finally waited for someone he was familiar with and could reach, so he couldn't let him go.

"Why did you all come to my daughter's birthday party at once?"

"I don't know, the big boss asked me to come. Are you Mr. Wang Guangwen? Is your daughter Wang Ke?"

Perez was stunned when he heard his words, and hurried to confirm whether he had gone the wrong way. He was very panicked.

Because yesterday the boss of the group called him and asked him to prepare a generous gift to attend the banquet on his behalf, and said that he must go, and his attitude must be good, otherwise he would be waiting to swim in the Pacific Ocean.

Seeing Wang Guangwen nod, the two turned their heads and looked at Jack Ma next to them.

Jack Ma was stunned and pointed to the old road in Shanghai more than ten meters away: "I don't know either. He brought me here. He said he wanted to get some fairy air... Boss Wang, what fairy air?"

Wang Guangwen was also panicked this time and looked at the banquet hall.

At this time, the magnificent banquet hall was crowded with people and very lively.

On the table, the hotel manager arranged various delicacies and fine wines, countless.

The place where the gifts were placed on one side was piled up into a small mountain.

He didn't know whether this huge bustle belonged to him.

...

Lu He quietly tasted cakes alone in the corner. People in Shanghai like to eat cakes, especially sweet ones.

He didn't like it before, but he felt very good after tasting a piece just now, so he began to appreciate the food.

Seeing that he liked it, the beautiful waitress next to him kept sending all kinds of cakes to him and introducing them to him.

One ate, one sent, and they worked in a very rhythmic way.

After tasting, he felt that the best one was the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which was soft, glutinous, fresh, and milky, very nice.

The second one was the Chongming hard cake, which was fragrant and loose, glutinous but not sticky.

The third one was the green rice cake, which was bright green and had a faint fragrance of wormwood. The skin was glutinous and tough when you took a bite.

The most unpalatable one was the fresh meat mooncake, which was sweet or salty, and it was hard to describe, but the beautiful waitress liked it very much, and Lu He quietly handed her several pieces.

"Thank you~" The beautiful waitress was very happy and smiled sweetly.

Lu He turned his head with a smile, followed a strong and jealous look, and looked in the corner on the left.

"Brother Lu." Liu Kai's face suddenly changed, and he shouted in vain, and stood up and greeted respectfully in the surprised eyes of his friends.

It turned out to be a black zongzi. Lu He nodded in response, retracted his gaze and continued to work on the cake.

"Mao Kai, who is that? So cool, can a single look scare you like this?" Qin Ming asked in surprise.

In the past, they usually sat in the center seats when they attended banquets, being the most handsome guys in the room, but today they were very low-key and stayed in the corner.

Because they didn't know most of the people in the hall, the few they knew were big guys of their fathers' generation, so they were very low-key, especially after seeing the boss of Shanghai, they became more honest.

"Alas, that was the big brother who accidentally broke my heart into eight pieces." Liu Kai's voice was very low, afraid that Brother Lu would hear it.

"Fuck!"

"Is it him who snatched Wang Ke away from you?"

"Snatched love?"

"Snatched shit, Mao Kai can only be regarded as a lick dog at best."

"You are so... respectful to your rival?"

Liu Kai's friends around him talked about it, asking what the identity of this boy who looked about the same age as them was. They were all in the same circle and knew very well that Liu Kai was pursuing Wang Ke.

Papapapapa...

Everyone stopped discussing and the banquet began.

The lights gathered, applause rang out, and Wang Ke walked down the stairs shyly.

She wore a lavender evening dress, revealing her snow-white collarbone, and the hem of her skirt was soft and spread out, as if it was a starry sky. The shining diamond earrings on her ears were elegant and exuded an irresistible charm under the light.

Wang Guangwen looked at his precious daughter, then at the big guys around him who were clapping and clapping, and wanted to stop.

He asked around, and it seemed that all of this was vaguely pointing to his daughter, saying that she was the boss of the Eagle Federation boss?

What kind of interstellar joke is this? Doesn't he know that his daughter is a little girl wandering around the world.

Just as he was complaining, he saw Wang Ke happily walked to the corner of the hall and took a boy's hand.

Then he left...

Without saying a word, he just left!

Before leaving, Wang Guangwen also saw Wang Ke carrying a plate of osmanthus strip cake.

He saw it clearly because he liked it very much.

Clap clap clap clap!

Another round of applause rang out.

It turned out that the Shanghai boss was taking the lead, and the Consul General responded enthusiastically, leading the audience to applaud again.

Wang Guangwen couldn't help but clap his hands.

...

"Lu He, are we leaving just like this?" Wang Ke asked happily following Lu He.

"Well, I don't like to attend banquets. Do you want to go back and say hello?" Lu He replied.

He really didn't like it. He used to be a small fry, and the excitement belonged to others and had little to do with him. Now he is a formal wizard, and this kind of excitement makes him feel boring.

"I'm not going back. I'll walk with you."

If it was before, Wang Ke would think it was impolite, but since she has been Lu He's assistant for a month and managed some things in the Eagle Federation, she thinks it's just like that.

"I'll send a message to my dad first and ask him to help me entertain. He may not know yet."

Wang Ke handed the cake to Lu He and started sending messages.
