Chapter 298: The Beginning of the Banquet
Because of Xu Shengzhe's appearance, Li Dong's situation has improved a lot.
Although it is impossible to fully integrate into this formal circle in a short period of time, at least everyone is not as repulsive to Li Dong as they were at the beginning.
Seeing that the party was approaching, Xu Shengzhe said to Li Dong, let's go in together. "
Li Dong nodded, and walked forward with Xu Shengzhe.
As soon as he entered the building, someone trotted behind him like a gust of wind.
Seeing the figures passing by, a strange look flashed in Li Dong's eyes. The people who came tonight were not only celebrities, but at least they were successful people.
Under such circumstances, people make such a gaffe?
Just as he was thinking, the figure who had already run in front of Li Dong suddenly stopped.
Then the man turned his head to look at Li Dong, with a look of joy on his face, and shouted Li Dong, are you here too? "
When Li Dong saw that man, his face was stiff.
It took a while for Li Dong to start reading novels .. He opened his mouth and said...Xiaorui, are you here? "
The person in front of him was none other than the yellow-haired girl who helped Li Dong break down the store last time.
No specific name, Li Dong, but I heard others call her Xiaorui, so Li Dong followed suit.
If other people's actions just now seemed to be out of character, then Xiaorui's actions are somewhat natural.
This yellow-haired girl is unusually courageous, and neither is her curiosity. She can even do things like smashing cars smoothly, and trot in crowded places.
Hearing Li Dong's name, Xiaorui excitedly said Li Dong, I'm coming to the party too! You are here too, great, let me tell you..."
Xiaorui didn't regard Li Dong as an outsider, and started talking in a chirpy manner.
Li Dong listened earnestly with a smile on his face. Compared with Chen Rui and others, Xiaorui was obviously a careless person, and Li Dong also liked dealing with such people.
Although this girl looks like a gangster, she is actually just a rebellious adolescent, and she is not a bad person.
Maybe it was the bad thing they did together last time, Xiaorui took Li Dong as a human being for granted, and yelled at Li Dong while walking,
When I came in, I saw that old guy Qi Guanghe, and him, shall we smash their cars after the party? "
Li Dong couldn't stop laughing.
Xu Shengzhe next to him also couldn't laugh or cry, interrupted Hu Xiaorui, pay attention to the occasion. "
Xiaorui seemed to have just noticed Xu Shengzhe, and turned to look at him when he made a sound, then pouted and muttered Xu Da treacherous minister, are you here too? "
"Xu Da treacherous minister?"
Li Dong coughed dryly and almost burst out laughing.
Xu Shengzhe's face was full of black lines, his smile was restrained, and he ignored Hu Xiaorui.
Hu Xiaorui didn't care either, seeing that Li Dong was interested, he quickly explained with a smile that this guy is a treacherous minister, have you read "Private Interview with Kangxi Weifu"? Do you think he looks like He Shen when he smiles all day long? Is He Shen a traitor? "
Li Dong held back a smile and nodded.
Seeing this, Hu Xiaorui became interested, and said, besides, this guy has a bad reputation in the circle, and he is often slanderous, Li Dong, don't let him slander you. "
"Hu Xiaorui!"
Xu Shengzhe was a little annoyed, he stopped talking and laughing just now, and became angry from embarrassment, saying that you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately, do you understand? Also, this is a charity gala, you are a non-mainstream person, you want money but you don’t have money, you want kindness but you don’t have kindness, who asked you to come? "
"Hmph! Who said I have no money, let me tell you, I am here today to do good deeds."
Hu Xiaorui looked smug, and said with a smile that I asked my dad for 10,000 yuan a few days ago, and I didn't spend it all the time, so I just waited to donate it today. "
"Ten thousand yuan are you okay?"
"Why are you embarrassed? Who stipulates that a good deed must cost a lot of money? Li Dong, don't you think so?"
Li Dong's teasing smile subsided slightly, and he said sternly that it is true, more money is not important, what is important is that you can think of doing good deeds and showing love, Xiaorui, and that is enough. "
Hu Xiaorui was very proud, she patted Li Dong on the shoulder with her feet on her feet, and said proudly to Li Dong, I like you like this. Xu Da treacherous minister is stingy when he has a little money, don't learn from him, I will treat you like that in the future. "
"um, I……"
Before Li Dong could finish speaking, there was a soft shout from behind, "Xiao Rui, let's go in!"
When Hu Xiaorui heard the voice, she quickly stuck out her tongue.
Don't chat with Li Dong anymore, Hu Xiaorui hurriedly told Li Dong that my dad is here, I'm leaving, Li Dong, remember to wait for me when the party is over, let's smash the car together! "
After saying this, Hu Xiaorui trotted away quickly.
Li Dong looked back, and a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties hurried away, and he was the one who made the soft shout just now.
Seeing Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe, the man nodded slightly, and then hurriedly chased after the place where Hu Xiaorui disappeared.
Seeing this, Xu Shengzhe said in a low voice to Hu Ming, the boss of NARI Group. "
"Nari Group..."
Li Dong murmured, NARI Group, he is mainly engaged in textile and foreign trade business.
In the past few years, the textile industry was very popular, and NARI Group also became bigger in that period.
But in recent years, the textile industry has been in a downturn, and NARI Group has struggled.
Last time, Chen Rui helped Li Dong introduce business and bought a building, and the one he wanted to buy was the Yonghua Building of NARI Group.
Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the NARI Group is in a downturn, its total assets now exceed one billion yuan. Not to mention ordinary small companies, even Yuanfang is far inferior.
Moreover, NARI Group has been restructuring recently, focusing on foreign trade.
The foreign trade industry is still very profitable, and NARI Group has obviously succeeded, because when Li Dong was reborn in his previous life, NARI Group not only survived the collapse, but also became one of the top 100 enterprises in Jiangbei.
Thinking that Hu Xiaorui is the daughter of the CEO of NARI Group, Li Dong laughed a little.
Before Li Dong saw Hu Xiaorui hanging out with Chen Rui, Li Dong thought she was an official of some family, but he didn't expect that she was a rich second generation.
No wonder this girl is so courageous, and she's not as scheming as Chen Rui's.
People from the official family, no matter how mischievous they are, still have some scheming in their hearts, even Shen Qian.
Only those who came out of the shopping malls are expensive, because they were doted on since childhood, so they are likely to be reckless and have a high-pitched personality.
Of course, things are possible these days, and they cannot be generalized.
Because of Hu Xiaorui's interruption, the party is about to start.
Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the No. 2 studio hall along the red carpet and the flow of people.
When entering the door, several etiquettes stood at the door of the hall.
Seeing Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe, two cheongsam-clad ceremonial people stood aside to greet them.
But there were others who were faster than them. Before the etiquette could be heard, a middle-aged man in his forties and wearing glasses came out.
As soon as he saw the two of Li Dong, the man smiled and said Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, hello. I'm Hong Hao from the TV station, welcome to come. "
Li Dong and the two nodded and said a few words of courtesy.
Hong Hao didn't say much, after all, there are still people who want to receive people coming and going, and it is impossible to hold on to the conversation between the two.
Seeing another familiar face coming from behind, Hong Hao turned around to etiquette and led Mr. Li and the others to table No. 12, and Mr. Xu and the others to table No. 6. "
The two of them agreed at the same time, and looked at them with eager eyes.
Others may not, but they are clear that the seat numbers are not arranged randomly.
This dinner was hosted by the Civil Affairs Department, and the Civil Affairs Department is an official institution, and seniority ranking has become the norm.
Table No. 1 is reserved for the leader, whether the leader comes or not, this table will not be given to others.
Tables 2 and 3 are reserved for the other two organizers, the TV station and the media group. They are the hosts, so they naturally have to move forward.
As for the table No. 6, it can be said that it is the VIP among the VIPs who came today. They know better that it is reserved for the Longhua Group.
Regardless of whether Xu Shengzhe is a member of the Longhua Group, today he represents the Longhua Group. Obviously, his status is not simple. If he can catch such a wealthy son-in-law, even if it is just a spring breeze, the benefits will be inexhaustible.
Of course, Li Dong at table 12 is not bad either.
Although it was not as good as Longhua, among the companies that came to the dinner, Yuanfang was considered a big company.
The two etiquettes enthusiastically led everyone to sit down. Although they didn't look away along the way, their eyes were enough to explain everything.
Both Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe were not used to seeing it, and they didn't express it.
Table No. 6 and Table No. 12 were separated by two tables. Li Dong and Xu Shengzhe sat separately.
Li Dong sat down, and Sun Tao and Wang Yue also sat down at the same time. Apart from the three of them, there was no one on the other half of the table, but there was a nameplate on it.
Li Dong glanced at it, and it said "Jiangbei Qinghu Co., Ltd."
There are so many Jiangbei companies, it is naturally impossible for Li Dong to know all of them.
Sun Tao saw that there was no one on the opposite side, and Li Dong stared at the nameplate again, and said in a low voice that it is a company engaged in agricultural trade, with strong strength, and has some cooperation with us. Some of the agricultural products in the supermarket are provided by their company. "
Li Dong nodded.
He looked around again, Xu Shengzhe at table six, and Hu Ming at table eight, he knew these two people well, so he didn't need to be introduced.
As for table No. 4, Li Dong didn't know him, but he saw the nameplate on the table. The people from Jiangbei Nonferrous Metals Group were rich and powerful. He didn't expect that the Civil Affairs Department even invited them.
Table five is also a big company, Jiangbei Energy Group.
There are a lot of good people, and the Civil Affairs Department has really put in a lot of effort this time. Maybe the leaders above have spoken, otherwise these two groups should not be here.
Seeing that these two companies are ranked ahead of Longhua, Li Dong is not surprised.
Although Longhua is the overlord of real estate in Jiangbei, it is still nothing compared to these two. Their total assets are in the hundreds of billions, and they are the real overlords in the industry.
Then Li Dong looked around again, some he knew and some he didn't.
Among the people I know, some are not from the business circle.
For example, Yang Si, who did a commercial performance for Li Dong's Yuanfang before, is considered a second-tier star and above, a local star in Pingchuan, so this time she also joined.
Li Dong actually knew a celebrity, Li Qian.
But it wasn't that Li Qian was not qualified or didn't come today, or she was preparing to perform behind the stage, anyway, Li Dong didn't see it.
In the studio, there are many businessmen and celebrities, which are also the main force of donations for the gala.
People in the government are rare. After all, this is a charity gala. Don't say that the officials have no money, and they dare not. Except for a few staff members of the Civil Affairs Department who are around to receive guests, they also see people from several other organizers.
The party was said to start at seven o'clock, but it was delayed for a while because no one was present.
At around 7:10, the host on the stage tapped the microphone.
The male host said loudly that he loves Su An! "
The hostess took over Da Ai Jiang! "
"Respected leaders, ladies and gentlemen..."
The host introduced the theme of today's party, and introduced the organizers respectively.
What follows is not a performance, but a short film for everyone in the studio to watch.
The short film was shot on Monkey Head Mountain, which was ravaged by floods and mudslides.
Dirty cities, houses soaked in floods, floating wreckage, pale corpses, dull and hopeless eyes, dirty children...
This scene made the usually hard-hearted businessmen soften their hearts.
Some female celebrities and businessmen couldn't help sobbing in a low voice.
In peaceful times, with rich clothes and fine food, they never thought that Mount Houtou would be like this after the flood.
Wang Yue beside Li Dong also had slightly red eyes, biting his lips tightly. Especially seeing a drenched and muddy little girl holding her dead father in the clip, Wang Yue couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although Li Dong was trying to arouse everyone's sympathy, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the clips in the short film.
This is just a flash flood, and only the Monkey Head Mountain area is affected.
Even so, the damage and losses caused are countless, and there are not a few people who lost their lives.
Thinking about the big earthquake two years later, it was only a vague impression in Li Dong's mind before, but now it is clear.
Miserable, terrible.
Compared with today's Monkey Head Mountain, the disaster two years later will be hundreds of times worse than today's.
Just as Li Dong was distracted, the short film ended.
The studio was very quiet, and the low sobbing of women could still be faintly heard.
But after all, they are all adults, and they are all successful people, and the influence of emotions is only one.
Soon, during the host's explanation, everyone returned to normal.
The party is mainly divided into three stages. The first stage is charity auction.
The auction items are mainly provided by caring people or companies, and there are a few special items with high value, which are also the finale of tonight's auction.
In the second stage, companies or individuals donate on the red carpet.
At this stage, companies or individuals can sign donation agreements on the spot with placards on the stage. At that time, the leader of the organizer will issue donation certificates to companies and individuals.
Then comes the third stage, the dinner party.
Since it was a charity dinner, the organizer would naturally not be reluctant to eat a meal. Of course, what everyone cared about was not a meal.
Instead, at the dinner party, there will be leaders from the province participating.
Not the leaders of the Civil Affairs Department, but the real leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, which is the main reason why so many companies are here today. (To be continued.)
