Chapter 149: Just Bragging
The security procedures for the banquet were very standardized and in place.
With staff constantly guiding him along the way, Chen Fan walked into the banquet hall.
In the luxurious banquet hall, guests gathered, chatting in twos and threes amid the melodious music.
The content of the discussion was nothing more than business, communication, the most distinguished guests, and the auction items.
There are dining areas and rest areas in the four corners of the banquet hall.
A waiter came over with a wine tray and asked, "Sir, do you need champagne and an auction brochure?"
Chen Fan picked up an album and waved his hand.
The waiter got the idea and left.
Chen Fan actually has no interest in such a banquet.
However, Yuan Liangping came to deliver the invitation with a hint of provocation.
Chen Fan was also idle, so he came over to see what Xu Shengqing was playing.
Open the auction catalog. Above are the names of all the items being auctioned today, and some of them are even accompanied by pictures.
Most of them are jewelry and antiques, which are valuable.
"Mr. Chen!"
Chen Fan turned his head and saw Jiang Tiansheng walking over with a glass of wine.
As soon as he came in, Jiang Tiansheng came to greet him, obviously waiting for him.
Behind Jiang Tiansheng, several guests were surprised and guessing.
Jiang Tiansheng is a relatively low-key person, but he is also the top figure in Hangjiang's powerful circle.
Now, Jiang Tiansheng abandoned them and greeted Chen Fan, a young man in ordinary clothes, leaving them guessing about Chen Fan's identity.
In a venue where celebrities gathered, all of whom were well-dressed, Chen Fan's ordinary clothes were quite conspicuous.
Chen Fan nodded.
"There is news that Yuan Liangping and Mr. Xu are going to establish a Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce and invite Hangjiang's local wealthy families to join it to integrate the resources of the south and north of the Yangtze River."
Jiang Tiansheng said in a low voice.
Chen Fan was slightly startled and said, "Have they looked for you?"
"That's not true."
Jiang Tiansheng said: "But through someone I knew, he gave me information and promised me a position as a director of the Chamber of Commerce."
Chen Fan refused to comment and said: "You are busy with your business. I will take a walk first and wait to see what they do."
"yes!"
Jiang Tiansheng nodded, turned and walked away.
Immediately, guests greeted him and made friends with him.
Chen Fan walked to the dining area where there were not many people, refused the waiter's service, and found a place to sit down.
Most of the guests were busy getting to know and make friends with various people, and were concentrated in the middle of the venue or in the rest area. There were fewer people here.
Pouring himself a glass of lemonade, Chen Fan browsed the items in the auction catalog with a leisurely expression.
Suddenly, his expression became strange.
A woman was actually feasting on an Australian lobster in the corner of the dining area.
The food appearance is not very good.
She was wearing a white women's suit, but it didn't seem to fit her very well.
Compared with the gorgeous evening dresses worn by other female guests, it was a bit shabby.
As if sensing Chen Fan's gaze, the woman turned her head and glanced.
He has a very young face, about 21 or 20 years old, with short ear-length hair. He has a pretty face, but he doesn't wear any makeup.
The woman seemed a little embarrassed, smiled at Chen Fan, and continued to deal with the huge Australian lobster.
He actually didn't care much about Chen Fan's gaze.
The waitresses in the dining area were also paying attention to the woman, whispering to each other, and commenting on the woman's appearance.
This woman looked like she had sneaked in.
It is rare to see such a well-dressed person, where fame and fortune intersect.
It's more like I came here just for the food. After all, for such a dinner, the catering standards are naturally extremely high.
Chen Fan was affected by it and took a plate of food to taste, and it tasted pretty good.
However, compared with home-cooked food, it lacked the taste he expected.
"Xiao Xuan!!"
Suddenly, an angry voice sounded.
The two women came to the woman eating, looking disgusted and angry.
One of the women with dyed brown hair and wearing a long black dress snapped:
"I said, why haven't I seen you all of a sudden? Are you hiding here to eat and drink?"
"Look at how you look now, like a starving ghost reincarnated. Are you going to embarrass us all?"
The sound was not loud, but Chen Fan was not far away and could hear it clearly.
He took a look and was a little curious.
The young woman named Xiao Xuan raised her head and said, "The food here is delicious. Sister, sister, how about you order some too?"
The two women were furious after hearing this.
An older woman, dressed in bright red and quite gaudy, slapped Xiao Xuan on the head and scolded:
"Xiao Xuan, do you know how precious the invitations to this banquet are? Sister, I finally got one, and you just waste it like this?"
Xiao Xuan scratched her head and said, "Sister, you know I'm not good at socializing!"
"I don't care. Since I'm here and I can't get the contact information of more than five guests, let's see how I deal with you when I get back!"
Xiao Xuan couldn't help but show a bitter look on her face.
The waiters were whispering to each other and looking like they were laughing.
Chen Fan found it quite interesting.
Listening to this, these are three sisters who spent a lot of effort to get an invitation and came with a certain purpose.
"You know, whether our tea farm can come back to life depends on this opportunity. If you don't work hard, just wait for the northwest wind."
The eldest sister scolded her again and pulled Xiao Xuan away.
Xiao Xuan had a sad face and had to leave the dining area with her two sisters.
That's the end of the matter.
Chen Fan ate leisurely and continued to read the description of the lots in the auction album.
As he was watching, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and a figure sneaked over again, and then came directly to him.
It was the Xiao Xuan just now.
She took out a lot of food on the plate, stuffed a few mouthfuls into her mouth, and greeted Chen Fan vaguely: "Hello!"
Seeing Xiao Xuan's indecent eating appearance, Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
"Can you give me your contact information?"
Xiao Xuan is very straightforward.
"cannot!"
Chen Fan also responded directly and directly.
Of course, his contact information would not be given to anyone casually. Even Jiang Tiansheng had to deal with him several times before he was qualified to contact him directly.
"Why?"
Xiao Xuan swallowed hard and said, "It's just a number. It doesn't matter, right?"
"Then you only need five numbers, why didn't you complete the task?"
Chen Fan asked with a smile.
"Sigh..." Xiao Xuan rolled her eyes and said, "It's boring. I thought you were special, but you turned out to be no different from those guys who look pretty like you but wear colored glasses to see people."
Chen Fan shrugged, noncommittal.
Xiao Xuan stuffed a spoonful of caviar into her mouth and said, "This kind of banquet is quite boring. Are you like me, and you also sneaked in?"
Chen Fan quite agreed with the statement of boredom and said, "That's right."
"That's boring. If you give me your number, you won't suffer much loss. Can you help me?"
"Why should I help you?"
Chen Fan asked with a smile.
Xiao Xuan was stunned by the question. When she thought about it carefully, it was really like this. Why did people want to help her?
She thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will reluctantly accept the disadvantage of being your female companion tonight. How about you help me deal with my sister and the others later?"
Chen Fan asked: "How to deal with it?"
"It's easy, you can just brag." Xiao Xuan said, "Just say how rich your family is and how many connections you have. Anyway, you can brag hard."
