Chapter 206 Dinner
At the lively dinner, several well-dressed people sat together, talking in twos and threes.

The piano music next to it flows slowly.

Xi Wennian sat on his seat with his head slightly lowered, the white light of his phone reflected on the lenses of his glasses.

He typed quietly.

Xi Wennian: Ms. Ming, Mr. Quan's concert is scheduled for June 28th. I wonder if you can make time to come?
The other party did not answer for a long time.

Xi Wennian stared at the other party's Q-version stick figure in the chat interface and was slightly absent-minded.

Such an anime style of painting is a bit different from her usual personality, it lacks the coldness and gentleness that is superficial, and it is a little more strange and cute.

Thinking this way, he unconsciously tapped the volume button with his fingers.

"Wen Nian, I have long said that this kid has a bright future. Look, at such a young age, he can enter the core level of the Music Association. Who wouldn't say something amazing? It's amazing!"

The lively conversation at the dinner suddenly turned the topic to him.

Xi Wennian put away his mobile phone, took his wine glass and stood up calmly, smiling: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your praise. It's just my luck to be selected for the core level. It's also my honor."

His attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, he speaks slowly, with modest words, and his posture is just right.

The old man called Xu was an old man wearing glasses. Seeing that he was a little older, he admired this junior even more when he heard the sound. He pointed to Xi Wennian and boasted to the side: "Wen Nian is a good boy."

He was a little drunk, and his words faltered: "Sober, humble, and most importantly, talented!"

Elder Xu's status seemed unusual.As soon as he made a sound, everyone sitting there fell silent and listened attentively to what he had to say.He boasted about Xi Wennian, and no matter what they thought in their hearts, the others all nodded along, looking at Xi Wennian with expressions full of appreciation, envy, respect and even awe.

If Xi Wennian finally entered the core layer of the Music Association, his status would be completely different.

Elder Xu is still boasting: "Wen Nian, it's just different from those rich sons in the imperial capital!"

This is not a good answer.

Xi Wennian knew it well, just smiled, nodded decently to everyone, drank the wine in his glass, and sat down in a low-key manner, obviously not planning to be the center of the dinner.

The topic quickly changed, and the person at the opposite table chatted with Mr. Xu about the latest topics in the imperial capital. Mr. Xu was suddenly distracted, and everyone stopped paying attention to Xi Wennian.

As soon as Xi Wennian sat down, the person next to him poked his arm and winked.

It is terrifying for a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old to make such an expression.

Xi Wennian pushed the wine glass in front of him, as if he didn't realize it.

Quan Xian has already come over, but the topic is not on the topic of the dinner: "Who were you messaging with just now?"

Xi Wennian: "I'm watching the news."

Quan Xian didn't believe it: "Don't lie to me, I can see everything clearly!"

Xi Wennian's eyelashes slightly lifted.

"You even purposely clicked on someone's WeChat profile picture to zoom in, and you were so fascinated by it. Which girl from this family has fascinated you?"

Xi Wennian covered his eyes.

"I've never heard of you having this kind of thinking before. I thought our son of music really only had music in his heart, and he didn't think about anything else. The six roots are pure and the four elements are empty!"

Xi Wennian couldn't laugh or cry: "I never said that."

"You admitted it!" Kwon Hyun was surprised: "Xi, do you really have a girl you like?"

"Tell me, what do you look like? What's your name? Where are you from? Whether the other party likes you or not—it doesn't matter if you don't, I'll help you match!"

Xi Wennian brought him a glass of wine, "Drink." But he avoided talking about it.

Kwon Hyun: "Hey!"

If Xi Wennian didn't want to say it, no one could pry it out.

After getting along for some time, Quan Xian also had a vague understanding, so he simply didn't ask any more questions.

When they were talking, the topic of the dinner had changed again and again, red and white were all discussed.

Xi Wennian finished perfunctory Quan Xian, took a sip from the wine glass handed by the waiter.

The spicy taste rushed straight into his mouth and nose, he swallowed it without changing his face, and pushed the glass forward slightly.

He doesn't actually like drinking.

Oversensitivity of the five senses can sometimes cause trouble.

For example, now, there are older elders at the dinner party, and the host deliberately replaces the wine with mild ones.And when he took a glass at will, there was always a stronger spicy stimulation than ordinary people when he swallowed it into his throat.

It's just that these inconveniences are known to outsiders, and the drinking and drinking at the dinner party is often necessary, and it cannot be escaped and even requires active participation.

He moved his bow tie, and his body was already getting hot.

Xi Wennian suppressed the dry feeling in his throat, his face remained unchanged.Having participated in countless banquets over the years, this small incident is not considered an emergency.

It's just that tonight, his mood will inevitably fluctuate.

"Ding dong."

Xi Wennian turned on the phone screen with one hand, and pulled down the message bar under Quan Xian's gossip-filled eyes—an unremarkable news feed.

He looked at the time again, 21:30.

...should have fallen asleep.

Xi Wennian searched for it on his own, and turned off his phone.

He turned his attention to the dinner.

"...That is the hostess. In the future, there will be another person in the imperial capital who cannot be provoked."

Xi Wennian raised his eyes.

The whole dinner was quiet, and occasionally someone said a few words, vague and evasive.

But his tone contained mixed feelings.

"I heard that the party was deliberately held at the Oriental Hotel."

"The last time the Oriental Hotel held a large banquet, it was better to receive a certain duke from the Duchy of Mobis. I remember that party was at the level of a state banquet."

"So that time... that person's meaning is clear at a glance."

"Hey, we don't know yet, what's the name of the hostess?"

"It's not something your class can get in touch with. It's normal not to know."

"..."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was secretive and somewhat tacit.

Quan Xian was in a daze. He didn't stay in Yatlin in the first place, so he didn't pay much attention.

Someone tentatively asked Mr. Xu, the most powerful person present here: "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

Mr. Xu sat in the main seat, took a glass of wine and drank it down with drooping eyelids, and said frankly: "Don't provoke me, the matter will not come to an end."

The people here may not be unreasonable, Xu Laoxin is clear about the door, and only advises this sentence.

Even he can't figure out the above things, let alone these little people.

No matter how it is changed, it is a matter for the upper echelon, and it is not their turn to think about it.

Thinking of this, Elder Xu couldn't help looking at Xi Wennian.

He suddenly remembered that this person had attended that banquet.

To be invited to a banquet hall of that level...

Old Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he saw that the other party was carrying a wine glass, which was empty. He turned the empty wine glass, his palm knuckles were protruding, as clean and harmless as a person's temperament, and his expression behind the glasses was very vague.

Like thinking, also like a simple daze.
