When I arrived at the hotel's banquet hall, I realized that this was the "good place" that Hu Laosan said.

The banquet hall is large, the interior decoration is luxurious and elegant, and every detail is very exquisite.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, its light is soft and warm, illuminating the entire space.

Exquisite art paintings and gold-inlaid decorations are hung on the indoor walls, exuding an atmosphere of nobility and art.

The floor is covered with soft carpets, and every step you take feels like you are stepping on clouds.

In the center is a spacious open dance floor, surrounded by various round tables, covered with white tablecloths, silver tableware and crystal glasses sparkling.

Beautiful flowers and candlesticks were placed on each table, creating an atmosphere that was both romantic and solemn.

There is an exquisite buffet area in the corner, with a wide variety of food, from exquisite snacks to various international delicacies.

The waiters shuttled among them. Their clothes were elegant and their manners were elegant. Every detail showed the high standard of this banquet.

In this environment, the guests were dressed formally, with most men wearing suits and leather shoes, and women wearing gorgeous evening gowns.

They talked and smiled in the banquet hall, and every move they made seemed elegant and appropriate.

The atmosphere here is both formal and relaxed, making people feel comfortable and at ease even if they are visiting such an occasion for the first time.

But to me, it was all so foreign and impressive.

I followed Hu Laosan closely, looking around from time to time, and I saw some Europeans from time to time.

"You feel free to go and get whatever you want to eat or drink." Hu Laosan said to me and A Niu, "I have to go see someone, and I'll come back to you later."

We nodded, and Hu Laosan walked through the banquet hall and entered the side door not far away.

Aniu took two glasses of champagne from a tray held by a passing waiter. He handed me one and said with a smile, "How is this place? Isn't it good?"

I ignored him, took the champagne and took a sip.

A Niu shrugged his shoulders, disapprovingly, and then walked directly towards a long-haired girl not far away and started chatting with her.

Holding the champagne, I found a place with few people and just sat down when I heard a familiar voice: "Is there a fire?"

I turned around and saw An Qingyue.

She was dressed very well tonight, as if she were the most dazzling borage that stood out from the banquet hall.

She was wearing a light blue evening gown, with the hem of the skirt rippling around her like water waves.

The delicate jewelry inlays on the dress shone with light, forming a sharp contrast with the whiteness of her skin, making her look both noble and elegant.

The long hair is coiled on the head, and a few strands of slightly curly hair brush against the side of the neck, adding a bit of softness.

The long earrings on her ears swayed gently with her movements, reflecting the silver luster.

The makeup on her face is exquisite yet natural, and her eyes seem to be able to speak, full of agility and temptation.

When she saw me turning my head, a smile appeared on her lips. There was both polite distance and a hint of imperceptible familiarity in her smile.

Her whole aura perfectly blends with the luxurious atmosphere of this banquet hall, and she seems to be independent from the world.

I stood up, touched my pocket and found that there was no fire on me. She smiled and said, "You don't mind, come with me to smoke a cigarette?"

I nodded.

She came over and took my arm, feeling a soft pressure vaguely.

I know this woman is not simple. Her appearance here means that the man behind her is also here tonight.

Could it be that the person Hu Laosan went to meet?

An Qingyue took me away towards the side door and came to a corridor. Along the corridor, we walked into a lounge.

The lounge is not big, but it seems more luxurious than the banquet hall outside. The carpet is obviously handmade.

When I was in school, there was a classmate in our dormitory who made this kind of handmade carpet at home. One time he brought a piece over.

I know that this kind of handmade carpet is not cheap, it can be said that every inch of land is precious.

An Qingyue was very familiar with this place. She went to the cabinet not far away, opened the cabinet and took out a delicate Dupont lighter.

Then she sat on the sofa and lit a women's cigarette: "Don't you smoke?"

I smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't bring any cigarettes."

She pointed to the cabinet next to her and said, "There are cigarettes in there. Go and get it yourself."

I nodded and walked to the cabinet. When I opened it, I found that it was full of outside smoke.

After hesitating for a moment, I brought a pack of Marlboros over. After opening them, she handed me the Dupont lighter in her hand.

This lighter is very heavy and feels very weighty in the hand. It makes a "ding" sound when the lid is opened.

Rub the roller on the side with your thumb, and flames will soon come out.

I lit the cigarette and took a puff, and An Qingyue asked, "Have you met Meng Changqing?"

"Ah."

I don't understand why she suddenly asked me this.

"He seems to have a very good impression of you." She smiled and exhaled a burst of smoke, "Do you know how many shareholders the park has?"

I shook my head.

"If you count the heads, there should be more than thirty."

I was stunned. I didn’t expect that the park had so many shareholders.

"Of course..." she continued, "Many shareholders have no say. In fact, there are only six shareholders. He Hong is the major shareholder, after all, he is the landlord there. The remaining five people are Meng Changqing, Liang Xuelin, Wang Zhenhong, Li Yuejin and my man Chen Tianxiang."

I don't understand why she is telling me this. Among these people, I have only met Meng Changqing.

"If Meng Hongyuan had not died, Meng Changqing would not have become the heir to the Meng family." She said with a smile, "In total, Meng Hongyuan's death has created a golden opportunity for Meng Changqing."

"Why?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Because Meng Changqing is the illegitimate son of the Meng family."

It turned out to be the case.

The affairs of these big families are really complicated.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked, blowing out a puff of smoke.

She threw the cigarette butt in her hand into the crystal ashtray, and then lit another one: "Have you ever thought about taking Hu Laosan's place one day?"

Hearing this sentence, I couldn't help but be startled, and my heartbeat suddenly jumped two beats, but soon I calmed down and looked at her: "I don't understand what you mean."

"Since the shareholders can let Hu Laosan be the manager of the park, they can also let others take this position... For them, the industries in the park are just part of their business. Whoever manages the park will do, as long as It can bring them benefits.”

Speaking of this, An Qingyue's eyes flashed with a cunning look: "If there is a chance for you to become this agent, would you be willing?"
