"Zhong Jinsong of Luotai Group is giving away a golden dragon inlaid with jade!"
A lifelike flying dragon that looked like it was flying in the sky was placed on a tray and presented. Then, the flying dragon was placed behind the pair of little lions.
The flying dragon is golden all over, and the mane on its back is carved from black jade, as if it is swaying in the wind. The dragon's eyes are two black spots, which seem to be made of the finest black jade from Yunnan and Myanmar.
This golden dragon is very large, weighing 5 kilograms. When it is placed behind the pair of little lions, the two originally majestic little lions seem to be several steps shorter in an instant, like two cubs, being played with in the claws of the golden dragon behind them.
Upon seeing the golden dragon, Yu Liangbin, who had been quite confident just now, suddenly turned pale. He didn't know the price of the golden dragon, but from its appearance, he could tell that it was at least one more zero than his previous gift.
Yu Liangbin heard someone talking next to him.
"Mr. Zhong, your golden dragon is truly majestic. It seems that your Luotai Group has been thriving recently."
"No, no, we just barely break even."
"Wow! You're being overly modest. In this industry, just being able to break even is already a leading position, and the future development prospects are limitless."
"Thank you so much! This is all at the expense of my health. During this period, my average sleep time has not exceeded 4 hours."
"Mr. Zhong, have you ever considered attracting some investment?"
"Are you interested? Sure! That depends on your sincerity..."
Yu Liangbin listened to the conversation next to him and his face turned green with envy.
Who are the people attending this banquet? They are all elites among elites, celebrities among celebrities. Who among them doesn't have local resources?
The clients here are more precise than those at some conferences, and some are from the same industry, and they all keep an eye on each other. This is all about effective socializing, and stomping your feet or smoking a cigarette represents status and momentum!
Yu Liangbin's long-distance company was originally a newly wealthy company engaged in online games. In the eyes of some aristocratic families, it was considered a nouveau riche.
How could he have known the unspoken rules of socializing among aristocratic families before? The gifts given here were not worth less than 100,000 yuan, and gifts worth 200,000 yuan were really not enough.
Yu Liangbin saw that some people turned their heads away and gave him a look of slight contempt, and he suddenly regretted it.
If I had known this earlier, I would have gritted my teeth and made the lion bigger!
Commissioner Gao continued:
"Ao Naiming of the Jiaohai Group sent a pair of gold and silver wind-listening vases; Jiang Changxin of the Jiang family sent a jasper screen..."
Every time Commissioner Gao read out a name, someone would bring up a gift. In the end, the gifts filled the entire front desk. Under the warm yellow spotlights, they looked golden and dazzling.
"Thank you again for your kindness. It is because of your kindness that we have achieved the meaning of 'a house full of gold and jade' today. On this auspicious day, I wish you all the same, and may everything be as fulfilling as this house full of gold and jade!"
The audience applauded, and many people shouted "Good luck to the old man". These were people who had received kindness from Old Master Lu, and they spontaneously sent their blessings to the old man. Soon, others followed suit and shouted along.
Commissioner Gao waved to Lu Qingxuan, indicating that she should come on stage to continue the process.
Lu Qingxuan almost forgot that she still had a mission. After hesitating for a while, she slowly walked up to the stage, picked up the gift list and said:
"We, the descendants of the Lu family, are not to be outdone. On this auspicious day, Old Master Lu's birthday banquet, we have also prepared a number of generous gifts. Now, on behalf of the descendants of the Lu family, I would like to congratulate the old master on his birthday."
"Zi Lu Yuanhu, send Zhonghai a set of Tang suits."
"Zi Lu Yuanbao, I'm giving you a Breguet watch."
"Sun Lunina, a pair of hollow dragon-patterned cores..."
“…”
She read out the gift list. The farther up the list one was, the closer one was to Old Master Lu, and vice versa.
Therefore, the name Chen Ya was naturally a suffix. Lu Ruixiang's family was originally a branch of the family, and Chen Ya was brought in later by Chen Sheng, who married into the family. Naturally, he should be placed at the end of the gift list.
The gift list was indeed arranged in this way, with Chen Ya's name at the end, but his name was circled in red with a big "X" drawn on it.
Lu Qingxuan knew what this meant. If a Lu family member made a mistake or violated etiquette, they would cross out their name with a red pen as a warning. If they made the same mistake again, it wouldn't be as simple as just a cross.
The reason why Chen Ya was crossed out was obvious: he did not prepare any gifts.
This surprised Lu Qingxuan very much.
Chen Ya has the ability to give a luxury gift that is more high-end than any other gift here. Not long ago, he mentioned that the Patek Philippe watch he had originally intended to give to the old man was broken.
This at least shows that he had the idea of giving a gift to the old man. Why didn't he give anything today, so that he was looked down upon by the head of the Lu family?
Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but become really worried, wondering if something urgent had happened to Chen Ya.
In a trance, Lu Qingxuan read the gift list to the end, and finally said:
"Next, here's the gift that the Lu family members have collectively presented to the old man. It's right outside the window. Please turn your attention and take a look."
At this time, it was exactly 8 o'clock in the evening. The lights in the room dimmed and everyone's eyes looked out the window.
...At this time in the side hall, Chen Chi, wearing a white long dress, walked out of the dressing room slowly.
Wei Mingzhe, dressed in a suit, was already waiting there with a smile on his face.
In the side hall, the sound system was synchronized with that in the main hall, and the lights were dimmed. No one noticed the bride's appearance at this time, and everyone's eyes were looking out the window.
