Chapter 178 Cousin asked you to come over
"He Xiaoman!"
"Xiaoman!"
People inside were shouting at each other, which made He Xiaoman mistakenly think that he was very popular in No. 1 Middle School.
The banquet living room is rectangular, with two custom-made large square tables placed side by side, which can make more rational use of space and increase the number of seats. A small podium is set up on both sides to facilitate speeches at company gatherings and the like.
On the opposite side of the rostrum, there are two long and narrow coffee tables, surrounded by small and exquisite pure leather round stools, where you can drink tea and chat.
It can be said that this banquet living room utilizes the entire space to the extreme and has various functions.
The entire private room is in the color of glazed green and gold, and all the tableware is white with sprinkles of gold. It is calm and luxurious, and the luxury is also clean and unstained.
He Xiaoman clearly felt that Liu Xiaoman beside him shrank.
She gently patted the latter's arm that was holding her tightly, and then while saying hello to those people, she slowly seated everyone present according to her memory. Finally, she met the so-called man among the row of men sitting behind the coffee table.
Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhao.
It's no wonder that He Xiaoman has no impression of these two people at all. When he was studying in No. 1 Middle School, they were not even considered as backgrounds. They were just one of the many crowded heads in his memory.
At least He Xiaoman was tall enough when he was in school, and he had the strength to maintain some of his own characteristics and not be lost in the public. These two people had none of that.
After graduating from middle school, Mr. Wang opened a barbecue restaurant in Jinshui City, which became bigger and stronger and became a chain store. This Jinshui Fishing Port was run by him in partnership with a ship owner from Jinshui City.
Another manager, Mr. Zhao, tinkered with a few buddies to develop a small business-related game. Later, he made a name for himself and was swallowed up by a large company. Some of the buddies stayed in the original company and became medium-sized managers.
Some took the hundreds of thousands they received and left angrily, but Mr. Zhao was not disheartened even though he suffered an unfair fate. He also started a live broadcast on the Internet to promote goods, making short jokes for nothing, which was a bit small.
fame.
He Xiaoman pulled Liu Xiaoman, who was already on the same foot, to find two empty seats next to each other and sit down. There were already classmates talking about the glorious entrepreneurial history of the two big bosses over and over again, as if they were proud of each other.
.
There was no trace of Zhang Shuyuan in the crowd. As for my good deskmate Li Ru...
Before He Xiaoman could look for it, the door to the private room was opened again by someone outside, and the receptionist knocked on the door politely: "Hello, we have a guest."
Here comes the person who can't help but talk about it.
Li Ru was dressed up in gorgeous clothes, shining brightly, and attended with her husband Cheng Junhao on her arm.
Immediately, someone loudly called her to come and sit next to Mr. Wang. It was obvious that several people had invited her earlier and they spoke very familiarly. He Xiaoman vaguely heard someone mention her name and asked why she was not asked to sit with her.
"She was kicked out of the house by her father. The mistress at home had already given birth to a fat boy, so both mother and daughter were kicked out by He Youtian. He Xiaoman is still as stubborn as a donkey.
She has a bad temper and a bad relationship with her father, so there is no use in calling her."
Li Ru soon joined the discussion and told the story of how He Xiaoman opened his mouth and annoyed the developers, and now he has become the most disadvantaged household in Huaishubao.
The eyes of many people looking at He Xiaoman suddenly became meaningful.
Li Ru sneered and said, "I came late. When Junhao parked his car just now, we found two electric vehicles occupying a parking space."
She glanced at He Xiaoman and Liu Xiaoman who were sitting next to her: "Those two have really big faces. For some people, the poorer they are, the better their reputation is. You said you have the nerve to drive here with an electric car?"
There is a parking space, but what if other students come and there is no parking space?"
"Oh, Li Ru, have you recovered from your injuries? Can you pretend to be a Siberian wolf again? I heard that you had a fight with your husband when you left the supermarket with eggs all over you, and then there was a traffic accident. I
But I saw you on TV. Among our classmates, you are probably the first one to appear on TV. Congratulations."
Someone laughed softly, and He Xiaoman's super hearing ability made it impossible for the whole room to escape any whispers that were not too quiet.
"Xiaoman still has the same temper as when he was in school, and his words always choke people's lungs."
"That's what Li Ru deserves. The one who teased him first is a cheap person, and he will be beaten to death without complaint."
The embarrassment here was quickly resolved by Mr. Zhao. As expected of an Internet celebrity, all kinds of Internet jokes flew by and made everyone laugh from time to time. He Xiaoman walked back to his seat in two long steps, so
What the new students saw was this happy scene.
When He Xiaoman sat down, Liu Xiaoman grabbed his hand and whispered, "Xiaoman, you scared me to death."
"What are you afraid of? She was the first to do something mean."
When the two sponsors saw that almost everyone had arrived, they motioned to the waiter to open drinks.
My boss must take extra care when hosting a banquet for his guests. There are a total of five waiters in this private room. They can pour as much liquor and beer as they need in a short time.
The strange thing is that He Xiaoman never saw any sign of Zhang Shuyuan.
There are clear barriers between the two tables. Those who are doing well are at the table of the two bosses, while those who are doing poorly are at the table on He Xiaoman's side. And this table basically follows the rhythm of the main table over there.
When people raise their glasses, they also raise their glasses, and when others laugh heartily, they also laugh foolishly.
Liu Xiaoman was not in the mood to eat, and kept rubbing her hands nervously. Ren Xuanxuan, who was sitting on the other side of Liu Xiaoman, gave Liu Xiaoman an elbow: "Are you looking for fun? Eat!"
After saying that, he grabbed a garlic shrimp without hesitation and said: "We are just those walk-ons in TV dramas, so we have to make sure we eat and drink well, otherwise it will be in vain. I will eat first as a token of respect."
He Xiaoman watched Ren Xuanxuan eat the food without any courtesy, and directly picked up a large piece of meat crab with serving chopsticks and placed it on the dish in front of Liu Xiaoman.
It seemed that this was Liu Xiaoman's first time participating in this kind of scene, and her hands were actually trembling slightly.
As someone who was forced to attend the Hongmen Banquet, I was not nervous. He Xiaoman was still He Xiaoman, and Liu Xiaoman was still Liu Xiaoman.
The dishes were served one after another, bottles of wine were opened, and Liu Xiaoman's nervousness seemed to be dissipating little by little as they drank. The greeter in cheongsam knocked on the door again, followed by two men and one woman, talking to everyone.
The two bosses who were toasting frequently suddenly stood up with excitement on their faces.
He Xiaoman said heartily that his main dish had finally arrived.
He Xiaoman saw the three well-dressed people at the door and felt that the special BGM for the God of Gamblers was already playing. Accompanied by two handsome men, Zhang Shuyuan walked into the main table like a proud peacock.
The cousin with an impatient look looked around the audience, then whispered something, and Zhang Shuyuan waved to He Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, why are you sitting over there? My cousin asked you to come over."
