"The birthday banquet will officially begin in 10 minutes. Please return to your seats, distinguished guests."
Xia Zhijian stood up and said to them with a hint of emotion, "Let's talk again next time we have a chance."
Yang Changshuo seemed unsatisfied and said, "Let's talk for another 10 minutes. We haven't elaborated on the artificial sun yet, have we?"
His eyes were eager and expectant, like a naughty old boy, and there was also a hint of secret pride in him.
Especially the issue of the artificial sun. I chatted with Chen Ya some time ago and got some "first-hand information".
He is now feeling very anxious and wants to talk to someone.
After all, as one of the people who discovered Chen Ya, the higher Chen Ya's achievements, the more proud he is.
"Mr. Yang, don't forget what day it is today. Maybe next time. There will be another chance next time."
Xia Zhijian politely declined.
Commissioner Gao was already secretly observing them. Today was Old Master Lu's birthday party, and it would be a bad influence for them to gather here and chat. It was unacceptable for them to overshadow the main event.
"You're not going to talk about it anymore? Let's talk about it next time?" Yang Changshuo looked disappointed.
Fang Bai smiled sweetly: "Yes, Mr. Yang, next time I will set up a game and let you two chat as much as you want. I can't run away."
The two stood up and said goodbye, Yang Changshuo feeling a little regretful. But at this moment, Lu Qingxuan and Liu Ruying beside him felt even more regretful.
Lu Qingxuan had never felt as disappointed and regretful as she did today, instead of excited, when she heard that Old Master Lu's birthday banquet was about to officially begin.
Even though she had been preparing for this birthday banquet for a whole month, even though all she needed today was a simple word from Old Master Lu to change her family's situation...
But compared to all this, she wanted to know more about Chen Ya, Beichen and his past.
There are still too many mysteries about him that have not been solved, and there are still too many things she doesn't know.
Qin Yunchu rested his hand on his chin, his eyes shining brightly under the warm yellow light:
"He clearly asked us to come, but he himself hasn't shown up yet. I don't know what evil things he's up to."
Gu Yuqing smiled and said, "You know he's up to no good. I think we should think carefully about what he's going to do next and make plans early."
When Chen Ya suddenly came to the Lu family in Beijing, the two of them had a premonition that he might have some intention.
What they don't know is where Chen Ya's intentions will lead the Lu family's future.
Commissioner Gao waved to Lu Qingxuan, called her aside, and asked in a low voice:
"Where's Chen Ya? He's the only one who didn't come."
Lu Qingxuan was in a daze for a moment, not knowing whether she should tell Commissioner Gao what she heard today.
"I, I don't know where he went."
Commissioner Gao frowned and said, "There's an empty seat in the front row. It's very conspicuous. Go call Lu Shuying over and have her sit here."
Lu Qingxuan nodded silently. In the end, she still didn't say anything.
If Chen Ya was planning something, it seemed to make no difference whether he told Commissioner Gao or not.
She now felt a hollow sense of detachment from the entire banquet, as if all she had to do next was lie down and let things unfold.
She couldn't change anything.
Lu Shuying lifted her skirt, excitedly sat down next to Wang Shaoxian, and greeted everyone around her one by one.
She felt that being able to sit at this table was a great bargain, but in Lu Qingxuan's eyes now, it didn't matter anymore.
Having seen the Milky Way, how could she be confined to the petty pursuits of a single stardust? That was how she felt now. Fighting for fame and fortune, calculating over small details, all mattered nothing.
Commissioner Gao took the stage again and continued into the microphone:
"First of all, on behalf of the Lu family, I would like to thank all the distinguished guests. The gifts and blessings you have brought have made us feel the priceless friendship. Now, let me read out the list of gifts sent by each distinguished guest."
Hearing Commissioner Gao's words, everyone in the audience sat up straight and their expressions became serious.
On this occasion, the gifts given not only show the importance of the Lu family, but also an opportunity to demonstrate one's own strength.
If the gift you give out is inferior to others, not only will you lose face, but you will also be secretly laughed at by some people.
The upper class is actually no different; sometimes they are just as vain, and in some cases, even more so than the common people.
Ordinary people imagine that wealthy and powerful families must be gentle, well-educated, and indifferent to fame and fortune. In fact, this does not exist.
The reason why rich people give people the impression that they are more reasonable and more well-educated is simply because they have more capital and money, and this money is everything to people without money.
Vanity is a human weakness shared by everyone, regardless of wealth or status. If the rich were truly indifferent and didn't compete with others, luxury goods wouldn't have so many different price ranges.
"Yu Liangbin, President of Yuantu Company, is giving me a pair of 5-ounce pure gold lion cubs!"
A man walked up to the stage carrying a square tray made of red satin with a pair of pure gold lions on it. He placed the golden lions on the tray on a wooden base on the stage. Many people looked up to see it.
The little lion was shining with golden light, and looked very fierce and majestic under the spotlight, with its teeth and claws bared.
A man sitting at the bottom had a red glow on his face, and several people around him turned their gazes towards him. He was Yu Liangbin.
According to the current gold price, 5 taels of pure gold is worth 100,000 yuan, and a pair is worth 200,000 yuan. He gave away 200,000 yuan in this one move, which is really generous.
But he didn't notice that the eyes looking at him from all around contained a hint of contempt.
