Chapter 178 The Banquet Scene 1
The following evening, a garden villa located halfway up the mountain was bustling with people.
Brother Long led the three of us inside, whispering as we went, "Ah Feng, those hanging around outside are mostly young models and some rich young masters. They're mainly there to liven things up; they don't even have the right to come into the villa!"
"This banquet was hosted by President Jin, so I can't say much!"
"Brother Long, I understand!" I said.
Third Master had many ways to get invitations to this banquet and let us into the main hall of the villa, but he didn't. He had his eldest brother, Long, lead us in.
We understand what this means; it's simply forcing Brother Long to take sides.
Even if Brother Long manages to exonerate himself after this incident, some people will still hold a grudge against him.
The fact that my elder brother Long brought me here today means that he is siding with Third Master, or rather, with the mainland.
There's a saying: judge by actions, not intentions. Don't look at what someone is thinking, but at what they do.
Regardless of whether it's for profit or some other reason, Big Brother Long's stance remains very firm.
With Brother Long leading the way, the two bodyguards at the door asked a few simple questions and then let Brother Long lead us in.
Once inside the hall, there were just as many people as outside, forming small circles where everyone was chatting quietly.
After Brother Long came in, some people quickly came over to greet him, but some saw him but didn't come over, such as Zeng Xiaowei.
After seeing his elder brother Long, he moved his left foot slightly. When he saw us, he didn't move and immediately turned his face away, pretending not to see us.
This move is very cunning.
Judging from his expression, he probably knows something.
The three of us didn't make things difficult for Brother Long. After giving him a quick look, we went to the dining table to eat.
There were thirty or forty people in the hall, but not a single one was eating; they were all just pretending to chat while holding wine glasses.
The three of us sat around the table, each taking a bite, which was a bit conspicuous.
I didn't pay attention. Zhao Jing'er wasn't there, nor were Jin Gu and Huang Dacheng. I wondered if they were having a secret meeting upstairs.
Taking this opportunity, I looked around at the small circles around me and actually saw a few people I recognized.
For example, the Long family couple of Longsheng, Long Zuer of Yinghuang, and photographer Liu Mingxi, who was later known as Teacher Liu.
To be honest, Long Zuer is not pretty.
There are several rumors circulating in the industry that Huang Dacheng is promoting her.
Firstly, the White Dragon King analyzed her birth chart and said that she could bring great prosperity and success to Huang.
Not only her, but also Xie Xiaohu was like that.
Secondly, it's because she's obedient, sensible, and ambitious; she does whatever Huang Dacheng asks her to do.
For example, once at the dinner table, Huang Dacheng pointed to a dessert and said that whoever could break it would be praised. Long Zuer stepped forward and succeeded immediately.
Afterwards, Huang Dacheng indeed promoted Long Zuer, and Long Zuer became famous as a result.
As I ate, I was thinking about some tales of the martial arts world when I spotted Zeng Xiaowei. He was still pretending not to see us. I put down my plate and said to Long Nier and Fatty Lin, "I'll go say hello to Zeng Xiaowei!"
"Together!"
Fatty Lin immediately understood what I was going to do and put down his plate as well.
Long Nier naturally agreed without hesitation and joined us.
I walked up behind Zeng Xiaowei, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Wei!"
Zeng Xiaowei shuddered and pretended to be frightened.
Turning around and seeing it was us, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Ah Feng, Ah Lin, Miss Long, you're here too?"
"Yes, we've been here for a while!"
I warmly put my arm around Zeng Xiaowei's shoulder and said, "Brother Wei, we're new here and don't know anyone. You know this place well, so how about you introduce us?"
Zeng Xiaowei forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and said, "Okay!"
He knew very well why we were there, and he also knew that getting close to us would give us something to talk about, but the two of us put our arms around his shoulders, so he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
There was no escaping it, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain it to us.
Aside from celebrities, most of the people here today are real estate developers.
These people all had wealthy ancestors, but they have declined in fortune.
The decline here refers to a net worth of less than 10 billion, and some even less than 1 billion.
Zeng Xiaowei knew these people's identities very well. After the introduction, I found that they had one thing in common: their ancestors had either worked as bosses for foreigners or cooperated with foreigners.
To put it bluntly, their ancestors were either compradors or lackeys of foreign devils; there were no exceptions.
Sure enough, it's not that the family doesn't enter the house.
Everyone who came to the party tonight is a traitor.
"Ah Feng, I've finished introducing everything. You guys go ahead and eat and drink. I'm going to chat with some friends for a bit!"
After the introduction, Zeng Xiaowei tried to run away.
"What's the rush? Let's chat for a bit longer!" I said with a smile.
Don't think you can just run away so easily. Fatty Lin and I haven't had enough fun yet!
Zeng Xiaowei was almost in tears, his face as wilted as an old eggplant. He didn't dare to fight back, because he couldn't beat the two of us, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare. Long Nier was right next to him, and he knew better than anyone what it felt like to be cursed!
Secondly, we have Third Master behind us, and he knows very well why we're here this time.
Just as they were getting anxious, Zhao Jing'er came down from the third floor, arm in arm with Jin Gu.
Four people came down from upstairs. The first two were Huang Dacheng and Liang Bixin.
Liang Bixin is of mixed race. She signed with Yinghuang in her teens and was Huang Dacheng's mistress, a fact known to everyone in the industry.
Liang Bixin is not yet famous.
She became known to the outside world and famous throughout the country two years later when she gave birth to a son for Li Guagua's second son.
Behind the two were Zhao Jing'er and Jin Gu.
The moment these four appeared, the scene fell silent as everyone looked up at them.
Zhao Jing'er was very satisfied with the scene. With her head held high, she helped Jin Gu down the stairs with an arrogant and flamboyant smile.
Compared to the two, Huang Dacheng went downstairs a little faster.
Clearly, he didn't want to steal the spotlight and wanted to give more screen time to Zhao Jing'er.
"You madman, I'll do it!"
I was just thinking about how to humiliate Zhao Jing'er when Fatty Lin smiled, his fat face jiggling slightly. As soon as I saw him like that, I knew this guy was up to no good.
"Gentlemen, please let me go!"
Not only did I realize that Fatty Lin was up to no good, but Zeng Xiaowei also realized it. He started to fall, trying to break free from our control.
Fatty Lin tightened his grip on him, lifting him up and tilting his head back to look at Zhao Jing'er. He muttered, "What's the rush? I'll treat you to a great show later!"
As they spoke, Huang Dacheng descended the last step, and Zhao Jing'er arrived on the second floor, where everyone's eyes were on her.
"Hey, isn't this Zhao the Pork? You've come to Hong Kong Island too?"
Just as Zhao Jing'er greeted everyone's attention with a smile, Fatty Lin released his grip on Zeng Xiaowei's arm, waved, and greeted Zhao Jing'er.
