Back To 2005

Hong Kong City International Hotel, a five-star hotel, is owned by the Li family, the richest man in Hong Kong and the richest man in Asia. In the past, major banquets of the Li family were held here, including last year's wedding of the daughter of the second youngest son of the Li family, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong. Celebrity wedding.

Tonight's birthday party for Li's parents and grandchildren can be said to have gathered 89% of the top richest people in the entire Hong Kong city. Being invited is a status symbol.

In the entertainment industry of Hong Kong City, where the entertainment industry is well developed, only a few people who have developed from actors to capital tycoons can be truly invited to the banquet.

At this time, the main entrance of the Gangcheng International Hotel has been covered by flashing lights. Every rich man who got off the luxury car has become the target of entertainment reporters, especially the actresses in the entertainment industry, who are competing for their beauty. , which is eye-catching.

Because it was not appropriate for Ye Xuantong to appear in public right now, Zhou Anan did not go to the main entrance surrounded by the flashes of many Hong Kong entertainment media, but took the elevator directly from the hotel's underground garage.

This arrangement is also in line with Zhou Anan's desire to keep a low profile.

However, Zhou Anan, who walked into the banquet hall with his arms held by the Tiantuan sisters, still attracted the attention of many people.

The others all brought one female companion, but he brought two. Moreover, many people recognized the identities of the Tiantuan sisters at a glance and pointed vaguely.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Feeling the strength on his left arm, Zhou Anan patted the back of the white hand twice and expressed relief.

"Forehead."

Ye Xuantong, who was a little nervous at first, felt the tenderness in the other person's words, as if a sense of security spread into her heart, and she calmed down inexplicably.

"Mr. Zhou, welcome."

Li Youcang, who was chatting with someone not far away, saw the young wealthy man from the mainland who had just come in. He apologized to the uncle in front of him and went up to him with his wife Liang Jingluo.

"Mr. Li, congratulations."

Taking the gift box from Ye Xuantong, Zhou Anan said congratulations when passing it over.

"Mr. Zhou is so kind."

Seeing the familiar yellow pear wooden box from Tianchan Temple, Li Youcang took it and did not hand it to the waiting housekeeper, but gave it to his wife for safekeeping.

Before, he was in a dilemma about the customs of his hometown, but no, the other party solved it as soon as he came.

According to the custom of their Li family's ancestral home, whenever a child celebrates his first birthday, he will choose a gift from relatives and friends and wear it as a mascot to symbolize peace and success.

Under normal circumstances, the gift will be chosen from relatives and friends whose lives have been going smoothly recently.

But this year is in the midst of a financial crisis, and the lives of many relatives and friends are not going so smoothly.

In contrast, this young rich man from the mainland is definitely the first choice, and the Tianchan Temple jade gift from the other party is the finishing touch.

Letting his children get the luck of this young rich man might lead the Li family to a more glorious situation in the future.

Although Li Youcang does not believe in fate like the older generation, he still has a kind of respect for customs.

"Mr. Li, you're welcome. This should be my honor."

When following the other party to the banquet, Zhou Anan naturally had no objection when he heard the other party talking about using his gift as the mascot for Li's parents' grandson's first-year banquet.

But, that would be a bit high-profile.

Those who came to congratulate him today were most of the rich and powerful families in Hong Kong City. He, an outsider who came to cause trouble, would be envied, jealous, and hated by many people.

Alas, for some reason, when he comes to Hong Kong City, he always encounters the situation where he has to show off to noble people, and he still can't refuse.

Keeping a low profile is his motto, but it is often broken by reality, which is helpless.

"Then it's settled. I'll excuse you now, and I'll have a few drinks with Mr. Zhou later."

Seeing that the other party had no objection, Li Youcang asked the other party to sit down at a table not far from the main table, and then walked quickly to the main table to arrange the mascot wearing ceremony for his first son.

"Ha, Brother An, you're not very kind. You didn't even acknowledge me when you came to Hong Kong City."

Just as Zhou Anan was looking around to see if there was anyone he knew, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder and heard a familiar voice.

"Second brother, forgive me. I just came to Hong Kong City. I unexpectedly received an invitation from the Li family. I'm really embarrassed to refuse."

Seeing Young Master Lian being held by the once most beautiful woman in Hong Kong City, Zhou Anan stood up and shook hands with the other person, while explaining something.

"I understand, it's just right, we are at the same table today."

Glancing at the two beauties sitting next to each other, Lian Xiongdong had a knowing smile on his face.

Seeing the legendary second young master of the Lian family, Ye Xuanyan, who was originally sitting on the left side of the big boss, took the initiative to give up her seat and sat on the other side of Ye Xuantong.

"I won't sit with you."

Seeing the two Tiantuan sisters, Luo Xinjiao smiled and said something to her husband, then sat next to Ye Xuanyan.

It was rare to meet someone from the industry who sat at the same table, and she finally didn't have to accompany her husband to talk about the situation.

"Look at my wife, she's already so old and she's still like a little girl."

Lian Xiongdong, who sat down, joked about his wife's behavior, with unabashed tolerance in his words.

"Second brother Lian is showing off. My sister-in-law was the most beautiful in Hong Kong back then. She still has such a young mentality now. I don't know how many men envy her."

After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Anan complimented her appropriately and her eyes fell on the two girls next to her.

Although the Tiantuan sisters wearing purple and blue waist dresses cannot compare to the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong Island wearing a black dress in terms of individual appearance, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Standing together is no weaker than people.

"I'm getting old. At my age, I can only envy you."

Lian Xiongdong clinked glasses with the other party and took a sip of tea and said meaningfully.

He had nothing to blame for this little brother's romantic and passionate behavior. If a person is not romantic, his youth will be wasted.

Back then, he would have been no worse than the other party, even worse.

"Second brother is in his prime, don't be so humble."

"Hahaha, Brother An, if you need it, I have old wine there that can prolong your life."

"Thank you for your kindness, second brother. If there is a need, I will definitely not be polite to you."

While Zhou Anan and the two were chatting, at the banquet not far away, several young men who came with their female companions to attend the first-year banquet gathered together, their eyes frequently looking at the young man chatting with the second young master of the Lian family.

"That's the Zhou person you're talking about. She looks just average. The two sisters next to her are probably the ones who have been in the news a lot recently. This Zhou person is really hungry."

The young man with short hair and a silver earring on one earlobe sighed disdainfully after eating a peanut.

"Lao Fan, don't just talk about yin and yang. If you have the ability, go ahead."

Yuan Sishen let go of his hand around the slim waist of the beautiful woman next to him, and shouted back directly with a depressed look on his face.

It is true that they suffered under the young rich man from the Mainland, but their skills were indeed inferior, and there is nothing to say.

If you want to say something sarcastic about them, you have to be able to step on the other person before you say it.

"Okay, don't let anyone see the joke."

As the older one among the few, Jin Sucheng acted as a peacemaker to prevent the members of his club from making a joke at the eldest son's first birthday party.

"Today is a great day for the boss. Let's not look for bad luck. Whose gift do you think the boss will find for his son as a mascot?"

Some of the others spoke up and changed the topic.

When it comes to the young wealthy man from the Mainland, the atmosphere among the members of their club is not very good. It’s really

"I just bought a piece of imperial green jade Guanyin from Myanmar. Since our Lan family is having a good year, I will definitely choose it."

Speaking of this, Lan Jinghai, who didn't speak much, said without hesitation.

"Didn't you just lose 15 million to someone Zhou and still have everything going smoothly?"

"."

At this moment, a handsome middle-aged emcee walked up to the front stage and said something that attracted the attention of the audience: "Dear guests."
