Elmi felt the hand on her waist with a smile on her face, but inwardly she thought to herself, "Hasn't this already caused trouble?"
The two followed the butler inside, passing through a grove of trees, and suddenly a clearing appeared ahead. More and more people began to appear, dressed in all sorts of costumes, some standing and some sitting, creating quite a lively scene.
The butler turned around and said, "Welcome to the dinner party. I've only taken you this far. I hope you have a good time tonight. There will be an activity called 'Destiny' after dinner, which you may participate in."
The butler glanced at Elmi as he said this, as if the event wasn't very friendly to her.
"A riddle?" Lu Feng was a little confused. He had never heard of the two words he used before; they seemed to be self-coined. He asked, "Can you explain them?"
The butler could tell that Lu Feng knew nothing about this kind of banquet, so he coughed and whispered, "Some beautiful ladies will put their room key cards in the same box and then go back to their rooms. You can participate in the activity and randomly draw one."
After the butler finished speaking, he turned and left. Lu Feng was completely stunned, thinking to himself, "This city is really something!" Seeing him leave, Lu Feng hurriedly asked, "Where's the person in charge of the banquet?"
"This dinner is spontaneous and there's no specific person in charge. If you want to meet someone, just go find them yourself," the butler replied, stopping in his tracks.
Elmi had been listening intently but hadn't heard anything, so she asked, "What did he say about the activities tonight?"
"Whatever happens, happens!" Lu Feng said casually.
"What's the name of this event?" Elmi asked with a hint of curiosity. "It sounds like it'll be fun."
"I don't know, let's go inside." Lu Feng was starting to regret bringing her to this place.
Beautiful women greeted them from all around, and there were all sorts of foxes, rabbits, and cats, making it dazzling to look at. The weather was already quite hot, and the girls' outfits were rather sensual. Lu Feng and Elmi's evening attire stood out quite a bit.
"Hahaha, I'm here!" With a loud shout, a white man wearing only shorts jumped out of the bushes, startling the girls present. Some of them pulled out water guns and started splashing around.
The white man glanced at Lu Feng, then froze on the spot and asked, "Mr. Lu from Jiafeng Group?"
"Hello!" Lu Feng nodded rather awkwardly.
"Hello, hello. I saw on the news that you would come. I work for a software company, and I really admire your company's management style." The man was polite, but his attire was a bit awkward. He noticed that Lu Feng was dressed appropriately and said, "Tonight's dinner is a role-playing event. What are you doing here?"
"This is my first time participating, I didn't know you were playing a role?" Lu Feng asked, looking him up and down.
“I play the role of a thug!” he said with considerable pride.
"Very similar! Very similar!" Lu Feng nodded repeatedly. "Where is everyone? Who's coming tonight?"
“There are quite a few people here, but I guess they’re all dressed up. There are quite a few important people who like to play this game. Why don’t you go and change your makeup too?” After the man finished speaking, he looked at Elmi next to Lu Feng and said, “It’s fine if you don’t change. Just take a look around. I’ll give you my business card in a bit. I’ll treat you sometime. I know a really authentic Chinese restaurant.”
The man was very polite, clearly a seasoned businessman, but the location of our meeting was rather inappropriate.
"Alright, alright!" Lu Feng said politely and walked inside. This manor was indeed quite large. Even with thousands of people scattered here, it didn't feel crowded. There were two five-story buildings in front. One was for the kitchen and logistics, and the other was said to have several hundred rooms, enough for everyone to stay overnight.
The scene was filled with laughter and playful noise, with many people splashing in the water. In the distance, groups of three or five people sat chatting in the leisure area. Some of these people not only wore masks but also had various makeup looks, so even if you ran into someone you knew, you might not recognize them.
Lu Feng casually found a seat, ordered some drinks and snacks. Perhaps because they were dressed too formally, there was a sense of contrast in the setting, like a business-like person standing among a bunch of glamorous and cheap women in a bar. Beautiful women came to greet them one after another.
On the contrary, no one bothered Elmi, not because these people were well-mannered, but simply because of the people Lu Feng brought.
"Is that Lu Feng from Jiafeng Group?"
"Yes, let me tell you, this kid is making a fortune. Even my nanny has bought his products and goes to some kind of event every few days, like she's obsessed."
"Is that woman his wife? He brought his wife with him?"
"And his attire is off too. Does he think this is a formal dinner party? Matador, don't you know a lot of people? Is she his wife?"
Everyone looked at a man who wore bull horns on his head, had a half-mask on his face, and was heavily made up, making him look quite exaggerated. He was wearing a jacket on his upper body, but you could tell from the skin on his neck that he was probably not young, as there were some wrinkles.
"Ah? Yes, that's Lu Feng!" the bullfighter replied dismissively.
"Bullfighter, what's wrong with your voice?" The person next to him clearly sensed something was off and joked, "Could it be someone we know? Go up and say hello, invite them over for a couple of drinks."
"No, I just suddenly feel a bit sore throat, cough cough!" The matador quickly coughed twice.
One of the men stood up and walked towards Lu Feng. As he passed a woman, he patted her on the shoulder and asked Lu Feng, "Are you Mr. Lu from Jiafeng Group?"
"Hello?" Lu Feng looked up at the man in front of him, who had chicken feathers on his head and an African tribal-style makeup, and was also startled. He asked, "Is there something you need?"
