Two days later in the afternoon, rows of dresses were placed in the living room of Zhang Wenyu's villa, and salespeople from various stores lined up next to their own dresses, waiting to introduce them to Zhang Wenyu.
Stylists and makeup artists were also there to help Zhang Wenyu choose clothes.
"Ms. Zhang, this black slim-fitting fishtail skirt suits you very well. Would you like to try it?"
The makeup artist picked up a black long dress with pink lace on one shoulder and placed it in front of Zhang Wenyu and asked.
Stylists disagree.
"This dress is nice, but it doesn't seem right for tonight's occasion. The skirt is too long and it's not very convenient to move around."
As she spoke, she picked out a white short feather tube top dress from the hanger next to her.
"Ms. Zhang, how about this one? It's simple and elegant, and also convenient for movement."
This time it was the makeup artist who shook her head.
"No, no, this one is too short. Miss Zhang would look better in a longer one."
She picked up a pink slit long skirt and tried it on Zhang Wenyu.
"Ms. Zhang, what do you think of this one?"
The stylist also picked out a few more and held them in his hands, waiting for Zhang Wenyu to choose.
…
Finally, Zhang Wenyu chose a traditional Chinese style dress and tied up her long hair with a jade hairpin.
The bodyguard drove Zhang Wenyu to Wanghai Tower.
The invitation was handed to the waiter at the door, and the waiter in a white shirt and black vest respectfully invited the guests to the elevator that went directly to the banquet hall on the top floor.
The elevator opened, and the waiter outside the hall checked the invitation again, then opened the door to the banquet hall and invited Zhang Wenyu in.
Zhang Wenyu walked into the hall. The lights in the banquet hall were on. There were many people attending the banquet, and laughter filled the entire venue.
There are sofas around the hall for participants to rest, and various exquisite foods, desserts and fruits are placed on the tables covered with white tablecloths.
Waiters carrying trays filled with wine glasses shuttled between men and women in formal attire.
Zhang Wenyu didn't know anyone present. After taking a glass of champagne from the waiter, he walked to the sofa and observed silently.
But this silence did not last long.
The merchants in City R have held such banquets many times. Most of the attendees are business partners who are familiar with each other. Suddenly, a young woman with an invitation but a strange face appeared in the banquet hall, which naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
Zhang Wenyu was just about to put down the wine glass in his hand and choose a snack to try when he was interrupted by a man in a silver-gray suit who came to chat with him.
The man was about the same age as Zhang Wenyu. He raised his wine glass and gestured to Zhang Wenyu, then took a sip. He looked at the seat opposite Zhang Wenyu, bent down, and asked in a low voice.
"Good evening, beautiful lady. May I sit here?"
Zhang Wenyu picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person.
"Of course, if you please."
The young man sat down calmly, his thick eyebrows slightly raised and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
"My name is Bai Ye. My family runs a restaurant business. I'd like to know your name, Miss? I don't recognize you. Are you new to City R?"
A smile appeared on Zhang Wenyu's lips.
"My last name is Zhang. I used to work in S City and just came back from S City."
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and asked tentatively.
"Are you planning to transfer your business back to City R this time? I wonder what field Ms. Zhang is in? Perhaps we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
The smile on Zhang Wenyu's lips gradually deepened, and he looked back quietly.
"Currently, we're mainly investing in some projects, not limited to City R or City S. It would be great if we had the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Bai in the future."
Bai Ye hesitated for a few seconds, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes widened.
"Ms. Zhang is the investor from City S who invested in the Chengbei Tourism Town a few days ago?!"
Zhang Wenyu looked up in surprise and glanced at Bai Ye.
"Mr. Bai has heard of me?"
Bai Ye laughed.
"Of course I've heard of it. Miss Zhang might not know, but you're quite famous in R City now. Everyone in R City knows about a mysterious investor from S City who snagged the Chengbei Tourism Town project. To be honest, we were just discussing whether you'd come back for the banquet, but I was lucky enough to bump into Miss Zhang right away."
Zhang Wenyu was about to speak when four young men suddenly came over.
The people who came seemed to be familiar with Bai Ye. One of the men in a white suit hugged Bai Ye's neck as soon as he arrived.
"Good boy Bai Ye, I was wondering why I couldn't find you. Turns out you came here to chat with some pretty girls!"
After saying that, he jumped over from behind the sofa, sat down next to Bai Ye, and greeted Zhang Wenyu in a familiar manner.
"Hi! Hello beautiful, I'm Cai Yu, Bai Ye's childhood friend. Nice to meet you."
The curly-haired girl in a white princess dress embroidered with three-dimensional flowers patted Cai Yu's shoulder and reminded him.
"Please be more careful! Don't scare people."
He extended his hand and politely greeted Zhang Wenyu, explaining on behalf of Cai Yu.
"Hello, I'm Lv Huijun, nice to meet you. Cai Yu is used to being reckless, so please forgive me for any impoliteness."
The man in the black suit and the woman in the pink dress behind him also greeted Zhang Wenyu, and then sat on the empty sofa next to them.
Bai Ye looked helplessly at the group of childhood friends around him, and took the initiative to introduce them, with a barely perceptible smile in his tone.
"What are you all thinking about? This is Miss Zhang, one of those mysterious investors who returned from City S and invested in Chengxi Tourism Town a few days ago."
He said to Zhang Wenyu with an apologetic look on his face.
"Miss Zhang, I'm so sorry. They are all my friends. We grew up together and are used to playing around. Sometimes I can't control my mouth. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Then he introduced the two parties again.
Zhang Wenyu finally found out the identities of these people.
Cai Yu's family is in the export business, while Lv Huijun's family runs a hotel. The man in the black suit is Yu Zekai, whose family works in manufacturing. The last girl in the pink dress is Huo Sang, whose family works in construction.
Although Bai Ye had previously introduced that his family was in the catering business, no one expected that the Wanghailou they were currently in was actually Bai Ye's family business.
The young girl named Lu Huijun looked at Zhang Wenyu curiously, covering her mouth and asked cautiously.
"Who exactly are you, the investor? I didn't expect you to be such a young and beautiful woman. No wonder Dad and the others couldn't find out anything about you. They were regretting not being able to send you an invitation and invite you to the party! Haha, they definitely didn't expect you to be at the party and run into us!"
Lu Huijun smiled as she spoke.
She obviously looks like a "filial daughter".
Zhang Wenyu couldn't help but laugh, and then explained to everyone.
"The invitation was a coincidence. My invitation was given by a lady named Qin Lu. She knew the president of the Chamber of Commerce and knew I was interested in this banquet, so she gave me one."
