Chen Dong's demeanor made everyone feel that this was the true style of a big boss.
However, this scene was particularly jarring to the eyes of the wealthy young men who had returned from their studies.
On what grounds?
Chen Dong, this seemingly ordinary guy, has gained so much attention with just one piece of information.
That's hilarious!
Hmph, if I could get that kind of information, I could turn the situation around too.
What's so great about it?
They looked at Chen Dong with disdain.
In their view, Chen Dong's success was entirely due to luck.
Wasn't Li Xiaoman supposed to be very shrewd, and these businessmen also very shrewd?
How could you do this, flattering Chen Dong so much, so lacking in integrity and so servile?
It has to be said that they have been away from Hong Kong for far too long.
Although they received a better education and had access to more information abroad, they were indeed quite ignorant about things in Hong Kong.
After Li Xiaoman finished her speech and stepped down from the stage, the reception officially began.
Everyone toasted and chatted with Li Xiaoman, and then went to find other people they knew.
Many people came up to Chen Dong, all smiles, and clinked glasses with him.
Of course, only two or three people came to Chen Dong's side.
The others stood aside, chatting amongst themselves while waiting for their turn.
Chen Dong spoke with each of them individually.
Those who got this opportunity were very excited and chatted enthusiastically with Chen Dong.
Of course, they won't occupy the positions forever.
Instead, after a brief exchange, they politely left.
They want to leave the opportunity to those waiting on the sidelines.
Chen Dong welcomed everyone and chatted happily with them.
He brought Vivian Chow along and talked to most of the people in the room.
Indirectly, this also allowed Vivian Chow to meet them all once.
Don't underestimate this one-time encounter. This meeting marks the beginning of our acquaintance, and if possible, it could form the basis for further cooperation in the future.
As for how far future contacts or cooperation will go, we'll have to wait and see.
At this moment, Chen Dong noticed that Zhou Huimin seemed a little bored with him, so he said to her, "Why don't you take a walk, or find a place to rest and have something to eat?"
Feeling Chen Dong's care for her, Vivian Chow smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, then I'll sit down over there for a bit."
She was indeed a bit tired, and she had already met most of the people she needed to know.
Although she is now in charge of Huaxia Star and needs to expand her network, this needs to be done step by step, and there is no need to rush.
So she went to the table, picked out some fruit, and went to a corner to slowly savor it.
At this moment, the group of wealthy second-generation heirs approached Zhou Huimin.
"Beautiful lady, let's get acquainted. I'm Zhang Mingyu from the Zhang Group. You can call me Young Master Zhang. Zhang Baifa is my father." Young Master Zhang, holding a glass of wine, sat down on the stool in front of Zhou Huimin.
As he spoke, he also ostentatiously smoothed his slicked-back hair to make it look even sleeker.
That posture, seemingly dashing, actually reeks of a tacky ostentation.
Zhou Huimin frowned slightly.
She could see the frivolity in Zhang Shao's bones, as well as his contempt for her.
She knew that this kind of person was like a dog, and she couldn't give him a friendly look, so she frowned and kept him at arm's length.
"Sorry, I've never heard of you, and I don't want to know you."
Zhang Shao didn't expect Zhou Huimin to be so ruthless and reject him outright.
A flash of anger crossed his eyes.
However, he maintained a very polite smile, appearing to be a gentleman.
After all, he had studied abroad, so he was quite mindful of such social etiquette.
However, his inherent nouveau riche temperament prevailed and unconsciously showed through.
Perhaps they felt that they had returned to Hong Kong, their own territory, and no longer needed to pretend.
He curled his lip and said softly, "Ha, just a low-class actor, what's with the airs?"
After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring Zhou Huimin's cold expression.
When Vivian Chow heard Zhang Shao say those words about her, she immediately felt a pang of sadness.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was about to say something but didn't know how to begin.
At the same time, a surge of anger rose within her, and she raised her hand.
Wow!
The wine in the glass was poured straight at Zhang Shao.
Zhang Shao was caught off guard and got splashed.
Those once glossy, smooth hairs are now constantly damp with water.
The liquor streamed down his face.
Young Master Zhang roared in fury: "You!"
The people behind him also started to clamor:
"You filthy woman, what are you doing?"
"Young Master Zhang!"
Just then, Li Xiaoman walked towards them. She was looking for Zhou Huimin when she stumbled upon this scene.
She stopped Zhang Shao, "What do you want to do? Watch your mouth, is this how Zhang Baifa taught you?"
Young Master Zhang wiped his face.
He looked up and saw Li Xiaoman, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
But when he heard her mention her father so casually, his eyebrows shot up and he was about to get angry.
Suddenly, it dawned on him that Li Xiaoman, standing before him, was the very person who had initiated this party.
Her identity was that of the CEO of HSBC, a position far higher than that of the people he had met. Even his own father had to treat her with utmost respect.
So his imposing manner immediately diminished, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you, I...I am..."
Li Xiaoman gave him no chance to defend himself: "No matter who you're talking about, this Miss Zhou is my friend. Besides, didn't you see that Mr. Chen is an important guest? How dare you disrespect her family!"
