Chapter 176: Embarrassment
Yanjing Hilton Hotel, in the ultra-luxury multi-functional banquet hall on the 15th floor, is full of lights, full of friends, guests and stars.
Although this cocktail party is only led by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, in Yanjing, the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, the level is not too high, but what is surprising is that it is such a banquet with a strong commercial nature, and the guests attending the meeting are more famous than one another, not only the executive deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department personally came to speak, you hold a wine glass in the banquet hall and clink glasses with a cat and dog next to you may be an official at or above the department level, as for those invited to help the entertainment of the entertainment industry is even bigger than a wrist, As long as almost all the superstars in China are in Yanjing, it can be said that they are all in full swing, all of them are dressed up to attend, and you are embarrassed to appear here if you are not a first-line popular star, as for the business people who participate in the banquet, those big and small bosses, you are worth no more than one billion, and you feel that you are cold.
This is a charity auction dinner in which people from all walks of life in the capital work together to raise funds for the construction of 100 hope primary schools for out-of-school children in the western region.
Of course, Chen Yang only learned about all this information when he arrived at the banquet hall, and of course, Fang Qing knew him too well, knowing that if he had told him that he had such a drinking party, he would probably not come to join in the excitement.
Although his popularity in Yanjing is still pitiful, not to mention that those people in the business circle and the entertainment industry definitely don't know him, I'm afraid that even those officials who are mixed in the officialdom may not know him, but no matter what, others don't know him, after all, he is also a senior cadre at the deputy ministerial level, the dignified mayor of Huahai, and it is really not suitable for him to mingle in this kind of luxurious social school.
Isn't it? There are quite a few officials who don't seem to be, and although there are some of them of the same rank as him. There are even quite a few of them who are higher than him. But people are either local officials, or leaders of relevant units related to the theme of this party, please come here to sit in the front row and pretend, he is a mayor of Huahai who came here without a name or a point, what do you say?
It's good not to be recognized, but if he is recognized, he can't afford to lose this person.
Therefore, when Chen Yang figured out what was going on, he immediately wanted to turn around and leave. But Fang Qing refused to let him go, and even threatened him that if he dared to leave, she immediately announced in the banquet hall that Mayor Chen of Huahai also made a special trip from Huahai to participate in this charity dinner held by people from all walks of life in Yanjing, anyway, she is the host of the banquet tonight, and others have to listen to whatever she says.
This made Chen Yang feel a big headache, although he wanted to eat this sinister and cunning little woman alive. But in the end, he had to reluctantly agree to stay, but this time Chen Yangxue was obedient, he had a word first, first of all, he would definitely not sit in the position that Fang Qing had arranged for him, and secondly, once he found even one acquaintance in the banquet hall, he would definitely leave. To his surprise, Fang Qing actually agreed to his two requests very happily. And only then did he sue him. I also made a cameo appearance as the host on behalf of the Central Propaganda Department in the previous cocktail party to adjust the atmosphere of the venue. After the most important auction starts, there is a professional auctioneer out of the house, and she has nothing to do, and the two of them can also leave early.
Hearing Fang Qing say this, he reluctantly stayed.
It's just seven o'clock in the evening, and the highlight of the charity auction is eight o'clock, and there is still nearly an hour of free time, also known as social time, where guests can walk around the lavish ballroom, chat with someone, have a drink, and even if you're hungry, there is a delicious buffet for guests to enjoy.
Of course, for many people who are mixed in the upper class, this time is often the most important time period for them, and it is the stage for them to give full play to their social talents, and people in the officialdom can use this time period to make friends with leaders or colleagues who will be helpful to them, and business people can also make full use of the atmosphere here to talk about one or two business, the success rate is quite high, as for those big and small stars in the entertainment industry, not to mention, Male stars can meet a lot of big bosses who can help them invest in movies and ask them to be endorsements on this occasion, as for those female stars, they are more glamorous than one another, and one is more revealing than the other, why? It's very simple, if you just meet a big boss here, you won't have anything to look back on? In fact, this is not only useful for female stars, in fact, there are many rich women in the business circle who like to play those male stars.
And Chen Yang is in such a drunken place at the moment, which seems to have elegant taste, but in fact hides dirt, and he is walking around very boredly.
Seriously, he still can't figure out why Fang Qing has to come to this place, not to mention that he is here, within a few minutes of coming in, she was called away by a colleague who seemed to be in the ministry, but instead went to busy her own business, which made him bored, if it wasn't for the conditions that he had negotiated with Fang Qing before, it was not good to lose his words, he really wanted to pat his ass and leave.
But fortunately, boredom is quite boring, but as Fang Qing promised, after walking around this huge banquet hall for most of the day, he really didn't find anyone he knew, let alone anyone who knew his name as Mayor Chen Yang.
At this time, he was a little thirsty, mainly because there seemed to be a person here who looked like a dog carrying a glass of red wine to fill the façade, and he didn't seem to be too maverick, just happened to pass by a waitress wearing a white shirt and black vest who looked very innocent, and there were a few glasses of red wine on the tray in the other party's hand, so he stopped the waiter girl.
I was about to pick up a glass of wine casually, but who knew that this innocent little girl smiled sweetly at him and introduced: "Sir, this cup is 82-year-old Lafite, this glass is 77-year-old Kathu, and this glass is the dream of Lake Leman specially prepared by our hotel for this dinner by Mr. Johnnie, the world's top bartender, you can choose your favorite flavor at will." ”
Chen Yang really didn't expect that there were so many of these few glasses of wine on this tray, I am afraid that if one of them was drunk into his stomach, tens of thousands of yuan would be gone, and it happened that he was in a panic at this moment, so he didn't choose any of them, but laughed very boredly and joked: "Well, it sounds pretty good, but I still want to ask, does your hotel provide Moutai?" ”
"Huh?" The waiter's little sister opened her mouth wide, obviously stunned by his words, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and replied with a slightly red face and some embarrassment, "Sir, this"
Chen Yang saw that this little sister's embarrassed appearance was very cute, so he couldn't bear to tease her anymore, but he chuckled twice, and then he reached out and took a cup from the little sister's tray and didn't know if it was Katu or Lafite's Dongdong, took a sip, glanced around, and was about to find a place with fewer people to cool off, but only to find that the waiter sister of others was still resting beside him, refusing to leave, and looking at himself from time to time with a slightly shy look.
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask what was wrong with the other party, and then he came back to his senses suddenly, daring to show that he hadn't given a tip to others, although he didn't have to give this tip, but in this case, if he didn't give it, it would be a bit cheap, and he introduced himself so hard to other people's little sister just now, and it was natural for him to earn this tip.
And he has always regarded money as dung, naturally not bad for that little money, and was about to take out his wallet to give his little sister one or two red hairs, but when his hand just touched his pocket, he realized that he had red hair in his pocket, not even the most inferior gray hair.
Yes, his wallet didn't rest in his pocket at all, because the dress he was wearing today was specially ordered by Fang Qing from a famous teacher, and he didn't bring it to him until tonight, and he was too lazy to take the handbag, plus Fang Qing didn't pay attention for a while, and he didn't stuff a single one into his pocket, which caused him to be in such an embarrassing situation now.
If it was other kind of old fritter waiter, he might be able to detect something from his somewhat strange expression at the moment, and then he took the initiative to leave with kindness, but the waiter didn't know if it was a new arrival, and the pestle refused to leave on the side, and kept looking at him with a look of expectation and shyness.
This little sister's family can't really be so poor that they can't open the pot, right? What if you take a tip less?
Chen Yang was extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help but slander in his stomach, too, this thing is embarrassing enough to think about. There was no way, he could only pretend not to know and took a sip of red wine with his wine glass, but his eyes quickly roamed around the banquet hall, and he found Fang Qing's figure from those groups of people in groups of three or five, but unfortunately, Fang Qing didn't know where to go at this time, and he didn't see anyone for a long time.
In desperation, he could only cheekily nod at this stubborn waiter girl very gentlemanly, then smiled, and turned around to leave.
When the waiter's little sister saw that he was leaving, she immediately mustered up the courage and whispered: "Sir, should you?"
Although this little sister is still difficult to say, the meaning is almost obvious, and although her voice is small, it still attracts the attention of several handsome men and women who are extremely brightly dressed on the side.
Chen Yang could immediately feel the gazes of these handsome men and beautiful women projecting at him, and scolded secretly in his heart, he really didn't have a vegetarian look! I don't know if I'm talking about these handsome men and beautiful women who look at the excitement, or this persistent waiter girl. (To be continued.) )
