A sickly bamboo horse dressed as a villain

At around [-] o'clock in the evening of the next day, Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan changed into formal attire and went to the Peninsula Hotel where tonight's charity reception was held.

The theme of the reception was fundraising for refugees.

The war in Southeast Asia that has lasted for more than two decades has come to an end. Over the past few years, there have been over one hundred thousand refugees who have sought refuge in Hong Kong due to the war, including the Kowloon Walled City and the Kwun Tong Yuwu District, where refugees are concentrated.In addition, the Hong Kong government has also built several independent refugee camps to provide temporary shelter for these war refugees.

Although the influx of refugees has brought many hidden dangers to the city, many citizens are suffering unspeakably.But for politicians and rich people who live in two worlds with refugees, these refugees can become a stepping stone to their careers. For example, the charity reception tonight is another great achievement that the rich can be praised.

All the celebrities in the city were invited to the reception, not all the rich, there were also many celebrities from the literary and art circles, in order to weaken the stink of money at the reception.

Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan, who were neither rich nor famous, were probably the two Dong Guo Mr.

However, the two of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes, with their shiny hair parted. No matter how they looked, they looked like noble sons, and they were very handsome.In addition, the two of them were very generous, so when they walked into this luxurious banquet hall, there was no sense of disobedience at all. No one would have guessed that they were two young people who had just walked out of the slums.

Qiao Wen's calmness and generosity are all because he was born rich and well-informed in his previous life, and Chen Jianan's first time entering the upper class life is also unrestrained, because he is really a confident young man, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with being rich. Impressive.

It didn't take long for the two of them to go in with the invitation, and they met an acquaintance, it was Zhou Sir who had been in the limelight for the past six months.

Zhou Renjun was obviously surprised by the arrival of the two of them. He dragged them to find a seat and sat down, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qiao Wen said: "Mr. Zhou sent us an invitation."

Zhou Renjun nodded, because he didn't know anything about the business world, so he didn't ask any more questions.On the contrary, Qiao Wen remembered that his Master Zhou's Zhou seemed to be related to Zhou Chaozheng's Zhou, so he asked casually, "Young Master Zhou, what is your relationship with Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Renjun: "Oh, he is my cousin."

Qiao Wen nodded knowingly. The Zhou family has been a well-known family in Hong Kong since the Republic of China. Now it has developed into several branches, intertwined and intertwined. There are outstanding people in every field. It is the most prestigious Old Money family in Hong Kong.

He recalled the plot of the original world again, because the protagonists were Lin Zihui and Chen Jianan, plus Zhong Kaiwen, who had left the game early now, he rarely described the other wealthy families in the city, and the Zhou family only mentioned it a little, which was not important at all.However, in this real world, they are all incredible big shots.

"Brother Renjun!" He was thinking, when a delicate female voice came.

Zhou Renjun turned his head, saw the person coming, and said with a smile: "Jiayin, long time no see?"

Zhou Jiayin came over, supported his shoulders and said, "Sir Zhou is very busy, how can he have time to see me?" At this point, she noticed that the handsome young man in a suit and leather shoes next to him was Qiao Wen, and she was pleasantly surprised, "Mr. , are you here too?"

Qiao Wen naturally remembered the Miss Chanel whom she met downstairs the day before yesterday, but she did not expect that she was also from the Zhou family.

He nodded and said politely, "Good evening, Miss Zhou."

Zhou Jiayin snorted, "Sir Zhou, do you know Mr. Qiao?"

Zhou Renjun nodded: "Ah Wen is my friend." As if remembering something again, he reached out his hand to motion to Chen Jianan, and introduced, "And his brother Anan is also my friend. Ah Wen Anan, Jiayin is my cousin daughter, my cousin."

Although Zhou Jiayin was a very young and beautiful modern girl, Chen Jianan, who was drinking tea, obviously had no interest in her and only nodded perfunctorily.

Qiao Wen was as polite as ever: "It seems that Hong Kong City is really small."

Zhou Jiayin smiled and nodded: "Indeed." When she said this, her eyes fell on Chen Jianan's face as if belatedly, and she was slightly taken aback.

Chen Jianan's reputation as a handsome boy has never been in vain. Let alone wearing a vest, shorts, and big slippers on weekdays, he is handsome and cannot be ignored when he goes out. Tonight, he is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his hair is specially styled with mousse , that is naturally a standard handsome man.And because he doesn't like to wear a tie, the buttons on the neckline are loose, which is less serious, but more chic and romantic. In addition, he frowns slightly, showing a haughty and bored expression. In the eyes of women, there is a kind of man who can't be described. taste.

Miss Zhou was attracted by Qiao Wen's beauty before, but when she saw Chen Jianan, who was full of hormones, her eyes lit up immediately, "transfer her love", and enthusiastically stretched out her pampered white right hand to the other party: " Are you Anan who drew his sword to help when he saw injustice on the road a while ago?"

Chen Jianan kept frowning, because he felt that the banquet was full of hypocritical greetings from so-called upper class people, and everyone seemed to be wearing a mask, which made him very contemptuous.

If this is life in the upper class, then he doesn't think it's very interesting.

Because he was too busy despising the upper class, he didn't care about Zhou Renjun, his cousin. He had to look straight at her when she offered to greet her, but he just ignored the girl's slender hand, nodded and said: "Yes, it's me."

It didn't matter that Zhou Jiayin failed to shake hands, she naturally withdrew her hand, and said with a smile, "I've read many reports about you, and I heard that you are very good at kung fu, and I thought I would have a chance to go to the Anan martial arts hall to see your demeanor. I didn't expect to meet you here, and you are Mr. Qiao's brother, it seems that this world is really small."

Her enthusiasm and interest in Chen Jianan can be said to be undisguised, not to mention Qiao Wen who is a little bit dumbfounded, even Zhou Renjun, who is careless and careless, can't help but start to roll his eyes.

However, Chen Jianan obviously didn't receive the signal from the beauty at all, and he was still a little bit worried about the scene where he saw this girl talking to Qiao Wen a few days ago.Hearing her say such a long list, I feel inexplicable: "Martial arts are for teaching, not for performances. What kind of style can you see?"

There happened to be an empty seat next to him. Zhou Jiayin sat next to him and said with a smile, "Then when can you perform? Can I have a chance to see it?"

This was already a public expression of interest in him, but Chen Jianan still couldn't receive the other party's signal, so he replied solemnly: "I don't perform."

Zhou Renjun really couldn't stand it anymore, and waved to his cousin: "Alice, don't you want to help your uncle entertain guests? Why are you just sitting here?"

Only then did Zhou Jiayin suddenly realize: "I almost forgot! Then you can do it yourself. There will be a dance after the auction and fundraising. Let's dance together."

When people left, Zhou Renjun shook his head and said with a smile: "My cousin, who went to America when she was a teenager, is completely American, and she doesn't have the restraint of a girl at all."

Qiao Wen said: "I think it's good for girls to be so generous."

When Chen Jianan heard that he praised the girl, the alarm went off immediately, and he frowned dissatisfiedly: "You think such a girl is very good?"

Qiao Wen knew what he was thinking, and jokingly said, "You don't like this?"

Chen Jianan: "Of course I don't like it."

Zhou Renjun also deliberately said: "Anan, don't you like Alice like this? Then my cousin seems to be ruthless on purpose."

Although Chen Jianan was empty, he also understood the meaning of these words, and immediately glanced at Qiao Wen with a guilty conscience, and said righteously: "Sir Zhou, don't talk nonsense!"

Qiao Wen was so nervous that his shoulders almost trembled.

After the episode, Zhou Chao, the host of the reception, made his official debut.

Tonight is considered a semi-private dinner, with a total of ten tables of guests, and only a few reporters from major newspapers.

Zhou Chao was holding a wine glass, Mrs. Zhou was on the right, and his niece Zhou Jiayin was on the left. Every time he walked to a table, he exchanged greetings and then made a symbolic toast.

When he came to this table, he first patted Zhou Renjun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ah Jun, it's rare for busy people to come and play once."

"Uncle Nine," Zhou Renjun smiled, "You have already called yourself, how dare I not join in the fun."

Qiao Wen remembered seeing Zhou Chaozheng's introduction. The Zhou family was ranked ninth, and young people called him Uncle Nine.

Zhou Chao nodded with a smile, and greeted other people on the table, and finally landed on Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan, stretched out his hands and said, "The two must be Mr. Qiao and Mr. Chen from Wennan Real Estate, right? Nice to meet you!" meeting."

Hearing his words, Qiao Wen frowned indistinctly.

Apart from acquiring more than a dozen small pieces of land, Wennan Real Estate has not launched any other business. It is basically a pocket company that no one knows about.The big boss Zhou asked about the identities of the two, but he didn't mean Manager Qiao of Mengzhen Clothing, nor the manager Chen of Anan Martial Art Museum, but directly mentioned Wennan Company, which was a bit unreasonable.

But Qiao Wen quickly understood, stood up, shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's our honor to receive Mr. Zhou's invitation."

Zhou Chaozheng said: "It should be, I admire talented young people the most. You two have a good time tonight."

He was a young man, but he himself was not yet forty, because he looked very good, well-maintained, and well-dressed, and he looked like a mature man of his age and full of charm.

Qiao Wen, who sat back in his seat, looked around and saw a few rich and young people sitting at a table not far away, and one of them was Wang Peter.

He was more certain of his conjecture in his heart.

It seems that the person Peter Wang said would buy the land from him and Chen Jianan, Banpo Linhai, should be the boss Zhou.It is estimated that Boss Zhou has already investigated him and Chen Jianan thoroughly.

I can think of that piece of land can create tens of millions of benefits, so naturally other people can also think of it.

He silently took a sip of tea from the white porcelain cup in front of him, tens of millions is not a small amount.Since Zhou Chaozheng has his eye on this piece of land, he still beats around the bush, probably because he is determined to win it.

It seems that the matter of development has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
