In the evening, Liu Xiaoyuan and Min Dongqing went out, got into Min Dongqing's Mercedes-Benz, and went to attend some kind of cocktail party.
Sitting in the back seat, Min Dongqing smiled and said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Mr. Liu, actually, businessmen in Shanghai hold a large-scale banquet like this every year. Not only businessmen participate in this banquet, but also some government officials."
That's for sure. After all, prominent businessmen from Shanghai will attend such events, and Shanghai officials will naturally take this opportunity to win over some businessmen and attract investment.
A city's GDP is very important, as it is directly linked to your political achievements. It's like a student: even if you're mischievous and sometimes doze off in class, as long as you get top grades and always come in first place, the teacher won't care too much about you, because grades come first.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan was not surprised at all that officials had attended the banquet; he would have been surprised if no one had.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "That's normal. If it were me, I would also attend your party."
Min Dongqing smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, if I may ask, what businesses do you have in Beijing? Perhaps we could have a chance to cooperate."
Min Dongqing didn't believe that Liu Xiaoyuan was just an ordinary person. The last time she met Liu Xiaoyuan in the capital, Feng Ping, that young master, was all bowing and scraping to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Therefore, in Min Dongqing's view, Liu Xiaoyuan must have a very important background, and not just any ordinary one.
If I cooperate with Liu Xiaoyuan, I can get closer to him.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Boss Min, I'm just an ordinary person, just a farmer."
The more Liu Xiaoyuan said this, the more Min Dongqing felt that Liu Xiaoyuan was not simple. If a farmer could have such abilities, then everyone would rush to farm, and who would still do business here?
"Mr. Liu, you're joking, you're so funny!" Min Dongqing said with a smile, but didn't ask any further questions. He knew that if he pressed Liu Xiaoyuan for details, he might only annoy him.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled but didn't say anything, and the car became quiet for a moment.
After driving for about half an hour, we finally arrived at the meeting place.
The reception was held at a manor, which was very large and surrounded by walls, preventing outsiders from seeing inside.
After entering the manor, we parked the car in the parking lot.
The parking lot was filled with luxury cars. If a fire were to burn all of them, tens of millions of dollars would be lost.
After getting out of the car, the driver naturally went where he was supposed to go, while Min Dongqing led Liu Xiaoyuan into the manor. Upon entering the manor, Liu Xiaoyuan was immediately surprised by the scenery before him.
The interior was extremely luxurious, brightly lit and filled with all sorts of men and women holding wine glasses. Many celebrities from television screens were there, all of them young and beautiful female stars.
This party was much larger than the one in Beijing last time, with more people and more space. Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but look around a few times, looking a bit like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
Some people, upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's appearance, couldn't help but feel contempt for him in their hearts.
However, everyone knows that those who can participate in this party are not ordinary people; they are all people with important backgrounds.
"Hello, Mr. Min!" People who knew Min Dongqing immediately stepped forward to greet him.
After exchanging greetings, everyone was surprised to see Liu Xiaoyuan, dressed simply, standing next to Min Dongqing. Who was this kid? Min Dongqing's son? It didn't seem like it!
Wearing such cheap clothes, and not even owning a pair of shoes, what exactly is the relationship between this kid and Min Dongqing?
"Boss Min, who is this?" one of the men asked curiously, his gaze fixed on Liu Xiaoyuan.
Boss Min immediately said, "This is Mr. Liu."
Then, Min Dongqing immediately introduced Liu Xiaoyuan to all the bosses he knew. Liu Xiaoyuan, being a person who doesn't refuse a smiling face, greeted each of them with a smile.
It's been very strange these past few years. Min Dongqing seems to respect this kid a lot. Could this kid have some kind of background?
"Mr. Liu, this way please." Min Dongqing led Liu Xiaoyuan to sit down, and then the waiter immediately brought out the wine.
Looking at the wine on the tray, Liu Xiaoyuan admitted that he didn't like drinking. He had no choice but to admit that his taste was limited and he couldn't appreciate such high-end wines.
"No need, thank you," Liu Xiaoyuan said to the waiter with a smile.
Just then, a young man walked up to Liu Xiaoyuan and Min Dongqing, and said with a smile, "Uncle Min, hello there."
Min Dongqing glanced at the young man and said with a smile, "Zixuan, long time no see. How's your dad doing lately? Didn't he come tonight?"
Yang Zixuan said with a smile, "My dad wasn't feeling well, so he sent me instead."
"Oh, is that so? Is your dad alright?" Min Dongqing asked with concern.
Yang Zixuan said with a smile, "It's nothing, just a slight cold. I'll be fine after a day or two of rest. I'm sorry to have worried you, Uncle Min."
"Uncle Min, who is this? He looks unfamiliar." Yang Zixuan asked with a smile, pointing at Liu Xiaoyuan.
This Yang Zixuan is twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a handsome face, dressed in designer clothes, and a smile on his face. He looks like a young entrepreneur.
Min Dongqing immediately introduced Liu Xiaoyuan to Yang Zixuan. Yang Zixuan immediately extended his hand to shake hands with Liu Xiaoyuan, who stood up with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Yang Zixuan," Yang Zixuan said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "My name is Liu Xiaoyuan, hello."
"I wonder what you do for a living, Brother Liu?" Yang Zixuan asked with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Me? I'm just a farmer, a boy who grows crops."
Liu Xiaoyuan was getting annoyed by these people asking him what he did as soon as they opened their mouths. Damn it, are you people investigating household registrations or detectives? What I do is none of your business, is it?
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's answer, a hint of displeasure flashed across Yang Zixuan's face, but it disappeared in an instant. He smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you really love to joke."
Seeing the slight displeasure on Yang Zixuan's face just now, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Yang Zixuan was probably the kind of guy who only had a fake smile.
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do," Liu Xiaoyuan said, spreading his hands.
Yang Zixuan laughed and said, "Brother Liu, you're so funny, so funny."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I already said I was telling the truth, and you still said I was humorous. Sigh! Why is it so hard to talk to you?"
