The young woman quickly translated it and looked at Mr. Lü, saying, "It seems to be a notification about that business party."
"Ask him if Buffett will attend?" Mr. Lü asked.
The girl put the phone to her ear again, about to speak, but the line went dead. Embarrassed, she said, "Hang up!"
"You can leave now!" Mr. Lü waved his hand and sat there pondering. This organizing committee is really something else. They don't say a word more than necessary, as if he is not important at all.
He was a little unsure for a moment. There were many business gatherings like this in Hong Kong, and people would call him repeatedly, begging him to go, which was quite annoying. However, this time seemed a little different.
"If it's sent to me, everyone else in Hong Kong will send it too. I'll find out if the others are going or not."
Mr. Lü was unsure and his herd mentality began to take hold.
The phone calls went on and on, and the people who received them had different thoughts: some were overjoyed, some were dismissive, and others were full of suspicion.
A banquet is about to begin, and this invitation is destined to be the highlight of the night.
The venue was already bustling with people exchanging pleasantries, just like yesterday. Su Yourong, dressed in her finest attire, stood with a glass of red wine, chatting with several women about the recent fashion show.
"By the way," Mr. Hou from the Beech Group leaned over and asked Su Yourong, "Ms. Su, have you received the invitation?"
"An invitation?" Su Yourong was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What invitation?"
"That international high-end business party, they called me and said the invitation will be delivered tomorrow." Mr. Hou took a deep breath and frowned. "Is this reliable? I've seen it advertised in the newspapers for a long time."
"Oh, you mean that?" Su Yourong said as if waking from a dream, "I also received a call."
"Are you going or not?" President Hou asked.
When Mr. Lü heard this, he also came over.
The women nearby had already started chattering away.
"Go for it. They say there are only fifty spots available worldwide, which is not something most people can get."
"That's right, Mr. Hou, if you're not going, give it to me. I was just thinking of going to Dubai for a trip."
"I'll pay for it, go and broaden my horizons, maybe I'll actually meet Buffett."
Su Yourong looked at the group and noticed their suspicion. She said, "I heard that Mr. Feng from Sun Hung Kai Properties also received an invitation, but I still don't think it's very reliable. I don't really want to go. Everyone should stay away; there's a high chance we'll be scammed."
Should we all stay away from this?
President Hou actually wanted to go. The publicity has been overwhelming these past few days. The fact that he accepted the invitation shows that he has the ability and international recognition. Even if he was deceived, others don't know. He can still brag about it however he wants when he gets back.
“I also think it’s better not to go,” President Lü said, echoing Su Yourong’s words.
"How about this, I'll go and find out if it's true or not, and then I'll come back and tell you all," President Hou said with a smile. "Let me suffer this loss."
Su Yourong laughed loudly, raised her wine glass and clinked it with President Hou's, saying, "You know from a young age that suffering a loss is a blessing. Anyway, I'm not going."
Apart from President Hou, everyone else said they wouldn't go, which made President Hou lose face. It was as if he had rushed to a banquet that they didn't want to attend, and his social standing dropped instantly.
After the banquet, everyone immediately called the Feng family to ask if Mr. Feng would be attending.
Zhenkun is very busy. Mr. Feng has already gone to bed. He can only tell them that he did receive an invitation, but whether he will go or not is still unclear. He will give them an explanation tomorrow, so they can rest assured.
When Mr. Lü got home and lay on his bed, he was still feeling uneasy. Something just didn't feel right about the whole thing, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He felt awkward about going to the event, and he also felt awkward about not going.
He fell asleep in a state of confusion, but suddenly woke up with a start, leaning against the headboard and exclaiming, "Damn it, I almost fell for it! Who is Su Yourong? She's the kind of woman who'd smear every ounce of gold powder on her face. Would she really miss such a good opportunity?"
Mr. Lü understood. He had to go. Just because Su Yourong had instigated others not to go, he had to go and see. If no one else went, Su Yourong would secretly go alone.
At that time, she was the only person in all of Hong Kong to have attended an international high-end banquet. Given Su Yourong's personality, she would make up stories for herself even if she didn't have any. If she had attended this event, she would probably have been talking about it in the media for years!
