Chapter 871: Zhou, who wanted to make friends
After all, it was a charity dinner organized by the provincial government. There was no pretense like in the entertainment industry, no so-called red carpet for people to take photos, and naturally no so-called interview session.
Those who come to attend the dinner tonight should be people of considerable wealth in Jiang Province. In the Chinese tradition, making a fortune in silence is a recognized principle for many successful people.
Few successful people with a net worth of hundreds of millions would like to be paid attention to by the media and exposed to the eyes of countless public.
Zhou Anan, whose net worth has exceeded 10 billion, deeply agrees with this point.
"My two distinguished guests, please follow me."
After simply walking into the hotel gate, Zhou Anan and the others isolated themselves from the flash lights outside. After showing the dinner invitation to the waiter at the door, they followed one of the waitresses forward.
Led by the waiter all the way, the two soon arrived at the banquet hall on the third floor.
"Mr. Zhou, your seat is No. 45."
The hotel manager, who was temporarily called in to arrange the guests' seats, naturally knew the regular guests that the young master had specifically reminded. He flipped through the list and found the other person's name on the second to last page. He couldn't help but be stunned.
What's going on? Is tonight's dinner arrangement so hasty?
You have to know that there are only 50 tables of guests at tonight's dinner, and the arrangement of the seats is largely based on the status of the guests. Table 45 is already very far back.
Although the specific identity of the other party is unclear, the person who can make their eldest young master give special instructions must be worth a lot.
Or, is the standard of tonight's dinner unexpectedly high?
"Thanks."
Not knowing what the hotel manager was thinking, after learning the seat number, Zhou Anan took Miss Wang and followed another waitress to her banquet table.
The waitress tonight was wearing a women's work suit. Her figure and appearance were not bad, but unfortunately she was ashamed compared to Miss Wang who was beside Zhou Anan.
It’s not that it’s impossible, but Miss Wang is too strong.
Looking at the position of Table 45 at the back, Zhou Anan, who wanted to keep a low profile, expressed his satisfaction.
The best part is, there isn’t a single live shot.
If I am accidentally seen by someone I know, I always feel something is wrong.
Safety first, safety first.
"Hello, I am Li Dahai, the chairman of Dahai Industrial."
Just as Zhou Anan and her partner sat down, a fat middle-aged man at the same table greeted them with a smile, his eyes mostly focused on the stunning beauty.
"Hello, this is Zhou Anan from No. 1 Education."
Someone greeted her with a smile, and Zhou Anan also replied with a smile, but she had no intention of chatting with the other person.
He is so old, but still sitting at table 45. His net worth is basically over 100 million.
Looking at the dozens of tables in front, the other party is at most in the middle and lower reaches in Jiang Province, and we are not on the same level at all.
Especially the way the other party looked at Miss Wang, which made Zhou Anan secretly happy, but also unhappy.
"Zhuangyuan Education? Is Brother Zhou's educational institution a chain?"
Without caring about the other person's expression at all, the middle-aged fat man Li Dahai forced the topic open.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of Zhuangyuan Education. Everyone has the basic skills of mutual business promotion.
Just because the other party has such a beautiful girlfriend, he wants to make friends with him.
“I guess so.”
The other party was so enthusiastic that Zhou Anan couldn't just treat him coldly, so she replied calmly, hoping that the other party would give up.
They are already so old, but their faces are so fat, their eyes are so mean, and their hair is so bald. How can they be brothers?
"Brother Zhou, you've opened a chain of educational institutions at such a young age. I admire you. When I was as young as you, I was still working on a construction site. After decades of ups and downs, I'm only worth 300 to 400 million now."
When he said the second half of the sentence, Li Dahai subconsciously looked at the beautiful woman next to the other person, but found that the beautiful woman did not react at all, but just lowered her head to play with her mobile phone.
Could it be that this chain of educational institutions also has a scale of over 100 million?
If it really was on such a large scale and happened in Jiang Province, there was no reason why he wouldn't know anything about it.
I guess he was too focused on playing with his phone and didn’t hear it.
“I’ll take the test.”
Zhou Anan, who also did not focus on the middle-aged fat man, looked at the list of guest appearances scrolling on the big screen in front of the stage. She could not help but widen her eyes and swear.
He finally realized that when he was peeling crayfish for Miss Wang, he always felt like he had forgotten something.
Tonight's charity dinner was organized by the Jiang Provincial Government.
And the father of Miss Wang next to him is the leader of the provincial government.
If I had known earlier, I would have changed the female companion to Miss Yu.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Xiaoxiao, who was watching the updates on Weibo carefully, heard An Xiaodi's voice and looked up with some confusion.
"Nothing, here are duck tongues, would you like to try some?"
Looking at Miss Wang's delicate face with her big innocent eyes, Zhou Anan picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a duck tongue for her.
Although everyone has not arrived yet, six cold dishes have already been placed on the table.
They were so familiar with each other that he almost forgot Miss Wang's identity.
"OK."
Wang Xiaoxiao ate the duck tongue that looked delicious without any hesitation.
She didn't take action immediately before because she was a little embarrassed.
As for the middle-aged Fatty Dahai who kept chattering away, Wang Xiaoxiao only smiled politely when she sat down, and her eyes never fell on him.
"Brother Zhou, what do you mean?"
Li Dahai, who was standing by, heard the other party swearing and thought he was being talked about, so his expression changed.
If it weren't for this occasion, if the other person's girlfriend wasn't pretty enough, he would definitely teach the other person a lesson about what it means to speak ill of others.
His net worth of hundreds of millions may not be a big deal in Hangzhou, but it is something he built from scratch, and he has a pride that is difficult for others to bully.
"Nothing, I'm not talking about Mr. Li."
At this time, Zhou Anan had no intention of socializing with this Pang Dahai, so she just replied casually.
If the other party were to determine that his relationship with Miss Wang was fictitious, then he would be in big trouble.
Well, it seems like this is troublesome.
If it were me in my previous life, when I accomplished nothing in college, I would probably wake up laughing.
Now, it’s a bit troublesome.
The two young ladies must have heard about his life conversations with the young female artists in the company. There is no reason why they couldn't find out.
Hopefully, their position won’t attract the attention of some big shot at the first table.
"Brother Zhou"
“.”
Admiring Yu Pangdahai's persistence, Zhou Anan dealt with it in a disjointed manner, occasionally glancing at the seats in front of him, looking for possible figures.
I don’t know if it’s the unspoken rule of the charity dinner, but the important people with high net worth appeared late.
The tables at the back were filled first, followed by the middle. The guests at the front tables arrived late, with many entering after 6:15.
At 6:29, two young hosts, a man and a woman, came on stage. Zhou Anan recognized them as the current top host and hostess of Jiangxi Provincial TV Station.
However, his attention was not on the short-haired female host with good temperament, but on some people who had just sat down at the first table.
Just at this moment, a person at the first table looked around and met Zhou Anan's gaze.
