Chapter 346 Banquet
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday.
X Group's dinner was held as scheduled.
The entire Crown Hotel was booked for this dinner, and various media outlets were invited to broadcast the event live.
X Group is a nationally renowned investment consortium with a world-renowned strength. The fact that it chose to establish a branch in China demonstrates the international influence of the Chinese market.
Everyone knows that this dinner is an invitation for X Group to enter the Chinese market.
First, be humble and treat each other politely, and then... you will probably have to "fight" in the business world.
Crown Hotel.
The twenty-plus-story building has large LED screens covering the entire exterior wall, and the X Group's logo has been scrolling since dusk.
At the hotel entrance, reporters and media surrounded the spacious crystal lobby, and the security company and hotel security formed a human wall to separate a passage that was only wide enough for cars to pass through.
At the end of the passage is a bright red carpet that extends all the way into the hotel lobby.
As the time for the dinner was getting closer, priceless luxury cars stopped in front of the hotel one after another. Business celebrities and industry elites who could only be seen on TV or in newspapers appeared here.
Media reporters frantically pressed the shutter buttons, afraid of missing any rare moments.
At this moment, in the largest banquet hall on the fifth floor.
The crystal chandelier reflects the dazzling light, standing at the door like a galaxy pouring down. In the hall, people clink glasses and chat with each other, and elegant ladies are everywhere.
By six o'clock, almost everyone who received the invitation had arrived.
Business leaders gathered in groups of three or four, toasting each other and exchanging information.
Celebrities from various industries gathered in groups, either boasting about their recent achievements or discussing past friendships.
Tang Chen came in at this time.
Perhaps it was because he came in alone and did not attract much attention. Everyone was more interested in the resources brought by other people on the field.
But his superior appearance still attracted the attention of many female guests.
"Who is he? Is he a newly signed artist from some company, or a young master from some family? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"I don't know. He doesn't look like an entertainer. Ordinary entertainers don't have that much aura."
"I think so too. He might be the CEO of some big company. He looks very rich!"
"I guess he's not from Beijing. Most of the CEOs of major companies in Beijing have appeared in front of the media, but this guy... seems to have never been seen before."
Here, everyone was whispering when they saw a graceful figure walking towards Tang Chen.
When everyone looked closely, they found that the person was Sheng Qianrui, the daughter of Shengshi Group who had resigned.
"Mr. Tang!"
Sheng Qianrui stretched out her hand before she even came up to him.
Seeing her, Tang Chen's lips curled slightly, and he also reached out and shook her hand gently, "Welcome, President Sheng."
Mr. Tang!
After hearing the two people's greetings, the people nearby suddenly realized something.
Soon, whispers and speculations spread rapidly throughout the banquet hall.
Here, Sheng Qianrui and Tang Chen only said two words before people quickly surrounded them.
"Mr. Tang!"
Tang Chen looked at the newcomer and said, "Hello."
"Oh my, I didn't expect it to be President Tang! X Group is well-known, and everyone has been wondering what kind of person President Tang is. I didn't expect it!"
The people who gathered around looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"Dragon and phoenix, I didn't expect that Mr. Tang is not only our compatriot, but also so young!"
As the sound from this side spread farther and farther, more and more people gathered around.
The female guests who had been infatuated with Tang Chen before never imagined that this man would be the host of tonight's banquet.
The legendary figure of X Group, Tang Chen!
For a moment, gasps and excited screams were heard one after another.
Everyone was vying to get to know Tang Chen.
Seeing that he was surrounded by people, Tang Chen frowned slightly.
Soon, the bodyguards in the banquet hall finally squeezed into the crowd.
"I'm very glad that everyone can come to the banquet tonight. The banquet is about to begin, and I still need to go on stage to give a speech. I will not chat with you for now. See you later."
Tang Chen nodded to everyone and was escorted out of the encirclement by bodyguards.
Some people were still not satisfied and wanted to catch up and show their faces to get to know them.
At this time, there was a commotion at the door of the banquet hall.
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound and for a moment forgot to chase after him.
A tall and slender figure appeared at the entrance of the spacious banquet hall.
Although the light was shining from behind, even a silhouette of him could not help but draw the attention of everyone present, and for a moment even the air seemed to stagnate.
As the beam of light on the stage moved backward, the man's appearance gradually revealed to everyone.
He was wearing a perfectly tailored black custom suit, every inch of the fabric fitting his tall figure.
A dark red jeweled brooch at his collar shone with a low-key yet luxurious luster under the light, complementing his stern expression perfectly. His hawk-like eyes swept across the room, carrying an innate sense of oppression.
"Is that... Mr. Han from the Han Group?"
One socialite covered her mouth and exclaimed quietly, eyes full of fascination: "The last time I saw him was when he was live-broadcasting from the rooftop of the H Hotel. I didn't expect him to be ten times more handsome in person than in the video!"
"He's so handsome! No wonder Miss Sheng from Shengshi Group went through the trouble of getting engaged for him!"
Her companion nervously tugged at her sleeve, "Shh! Keep your voice down! Miss Sheng is here tonight too. I heard she even lost her position as General Manager of Shengshi Group because of this incident, and now she's stuck managing a small media company. She must be furious. Don't let her hear that!"
Han Xi ignored the whispers, swept his deep gaze across the banquet hall, turned around and stretched out his hand towards the door.
Following his movements, everyone couldn't help but look towards the empty doorway, wondering who he was waiting for. The next moment, a slender figure appeared at the entrance, and the man's tense jawline visibly relaxed.
Tonight, Fang Li changed her usual intellectual style and wore a silver-gray fishtail dress.
The hand-embroidered dark patterns on the hem of her skirt appeared and disappeared with her steps, like waves in the moonlight. When she took a step, the intricate hem of her skirt was gently kicked up, just like the surging waves, making her look like a mermaid living in the deep sea, walking slowly on the waves.
In addition, her chestnut curly hair was not tied up like before, but curled up and poured all over her head. Her hair was moist and shiny, dotted with these moist pearls, swaying gracefully with every step she took.
She wore nothing on her exposed slender neck, except for the pearl patches of different colors on her collarbone, and a pair of pearl earrings on her ears. Although she did not have too many jewelry decorations, she had a breathtaking elegance and beauty.
