most charming

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Tao and Guo Yiling arrived at the entrance of Jinhui Hotel on time.

Lin Tao was wearing a navy blue suit, a white shirt with a small collar, and no tie. Underneath were a pair of shiny top-grain cowhide business shoes, all of which were bought by Guo Yiling.I have to say that this girl has a good eye for picking out clothes, and Lin Tao looks quite dignified. Those who don't know the details think she is the second generation of rich or official.

Guo Yiling is wearing a black evening dress with slanted shoulders and a single belt, her hair is draped over her shoulders, and she wears a crystal necklace around her neck. Come to light up the ornaments, not the ornaments to brighten people.Exquisite watches, high-end handbags, and just the right high heels, standing next to Lin Tao are so compatible, they are simply a pair of golden couple.

For the themed wine tasting event of tonight's event, although the Xiao family's status in Junbei is not as good as that of Zhou's family, they are after all an established force in the business world, and they are not bad at all in terms of influence and face.Xiao Jinhui invested in a little-known winery in Europe. It is not well-known, but the wine is quite good, not inferior to the big international brands. Today's purpose is to invite colleagues from the Junbei business community to taste it and advertise for himself.

Xiao Jinhui stood at the door in a suit and was in charge of the reception. Seeing Guo Yiling holding Lin Tao's arm, he greeted the guests and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yiling, tonight is beautiful!"

Guo Yiling said politely: "Thank you!"

"This is Brother Lin..." Xiao Jinhui took the initiative to greet Lin Tao, "I have met Brother Lin twice in total, and today is the third time. Every time I am impressed, I will even sigh that I am old!"

Lin Tao said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao is over the award, I just have better luck, I don't have much strength."

"Luck is good strength. If possible, I would rather trade my own strength for your luck. What do you think?" Xiao Jinhui joked without any fuss.

Lin Tao and Guo Yiling also laughed. Some time ago, Xiao Jinhui would not have faced Lin Tao in such an easy-going manner. Now, Lin Tao's identity is different. As the only candidate for Junbei, he can be said to be a full-fledged public figure with social status. Naturally, it must be treated with corresponding courtesy, otherwise it will be said to be disrespectful.

Lin Tao finally tasted the respect that social status brings, and it feels good.

"I'll take you in. Today is the right time. If you miss it, you will regret it." Xiao Jinhui said while making way.

Guo Yiling asked very cooperatively: "What's going on?"

Xiao Jinhui said: "Some time ago, I personally went to Europe and brought back a batch of red wine from my own winery. You can try it, it is definitely ten times better than the ones sold in the domestic market! As for the wine bottled on board Don’t mention anything about Fei, the difference is too far, there is no need to compare.”

Guo Yiling smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao seldom speaks big words. Since he recommends it so much, he must try it out."

Xiao Jinhui personally sent the two into the elevator before turning around and returning to the door to continue to greet the guests, which shows the importance he attaches to the two.

The elevator went up slowly, and there were other guests on the same ride. Lin Tao held back his silence and waited until he got out of the elevator before saying, "Why do I feel that Xiao Jinhui is very interesting to you?"

Guo Yiling pursed her lips and smiled, "Why, are you jealous?"

"Isn't it normal to be jealous?" Lin Tao deliberately pretended to be jealous and asked, "Tell me, what was your relationship before!"

Guo Yiling giggled amusedly, and it was very hard work to maintain an elegant demeanor. She patted Lin Tao's arm a few times and said angrily, "Stop making trouble, look good."

Lin Tao coughed a few times and said solemnly, "Okay!"

The two walked into the banquet hall, there were already some people inside, and a large number of wine corks were used to form a red wine bottle under the host stage. It was not so much a reception as a promotion meeting of their own red wine.

Before the event starts, it is natural for the guests to taste the red wine, and the waiter will serve the wine glasses to the guests when they meet the guests with the plate.A plate can only hold four glasses of wine, but the number of guests is quite a lot. Several waiters shuttled around the scene, their legs almost broke.

Lin Tao picked up two wine glasses, handed one to Guo Yiling, and said, "It smells pretty good."

Guo Yiling gave him a blank look, and said, "You should be a baijiu. There are professional tasting methods for red wine. But, I won't show off in front of you. It's not interesting."

Lin Tao took a sip with a smile. Both the taste and texture were indeed stronger than any red wine he had drunk before. He nodded and said, "Very good!"

Guo Yiling didn't drink as much as he did, but tasted it carefully, and she also praised it.

"It's really good. If this wine is imported to Junbei City, I'm afraid that other red wine brands can be thrown into the trash."

Just as they were talking, there was a little commotion at the scene. The two looked towards the entrance, and a middle-aged man walked in accompanied by Xiao Jinhui.

"Even he is here!" Guo Yiling understood why the venue caused commotion.

"Who is he?"

Guo Yiling said: "This person is Guo Zhaohui, a member of the Standing Committee of the Junbei Municipal Committee and head of the Propaganda Department. It is quite rare for the Xiao family to invite a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee for such a reception."

"The surname is also Guo, is your relative?"

Guo Yiling glared at him and said, "The surname Guo is my relative. According to what you said, the governor of Donghai is still surnamed Lin, and he is also your relative?"

Lin Tao said with a smile, "I think so, but unfortunately people don't recognize me!" He sighed and shook his head.

Guo Zhaohui stood on the host stage under the guidance of Xiao Jinhui. Xiao Jinhui stood in front of the microphone, tried it first, and made sure it was easy to use. Then he said with a smile: "Welcome to this reception, your arrival will make Jinhui Hotel flourish. Hui, Xiao is also very honored."

After a round of applause, he continued: "Everyone has been busy all day, and they must not be in the mood to listen to my gossip at night, so I'll cut to the chase. The most important thing to invite everyone here today is to recommend me to personally invest in wineries in Europe. The red wine. Presumably you have tasted it, and everyone knows how it tastes, so I will just stand on the street and drink it once. I think the red wine is good. Come and find me later, and I will definitely give you the best price!"

Xiao Jinhui was joking and self-deprecating. On the contrary, he invigorated the atmosphere of the scene, and then he said: "Today, in addition to inviting everyone, I am also honored to invite Guo Zhaohui, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Propaganda Department. Next, I invite Minister Guo to speak."

A businessman seeks profit, but in the process of pursuing profit, he must be educated by officials. This is a domestic characteristic, so no one will be surprised that Xiao Jinhui can invite the standing committee member of the municipal party committee. Even if he invites the secretary of the municipal party committee, everyone just thinks He is capable, rather than thinking that he is showing off his backer.

Guo Zhaohui has an official smile on his face, but he is not bad in appearance, even with such a smile, it will not make people feel disgusted.

He is very good at being a man, first he declined once to show Xiao Jinhui's status as the master, and then he reluctantly walked to the microphone when he was invited for the second time.

"Actually, I came to the reception in my personal capacity. Who would have thought that Jinhui would insist on retaining my official position again, assuming the title of minister for a day, and continuing to do so after get off work? My life is hard enough."

Guo Zhaohui was obviously better at dealing with people, and with just a few words, he got closer to the people present, which also aroused good-natured laughter.

"I know that everyone hates officials' speeches. It's smelly and long like an old lady's foot wrap. It makes people drowsy. What's more, I'm still the head of the Propaganda Department. I'm afraid few of you here can compare mine."

What Guo Zhaohui said was true. Officials can talk for a day at a meeting, but businessmen don't have so much time to waste. Every minute and every second is an opportunity to make money.

He laughed at himself one after another, and did not lower his status. On the contrary, he made people feel that he was easy to approach, and he also seemed very kind and close to the people, which made people feel good.

"As expected of a publicity worker, he can really speak!" Lin Tao exclaimed, "I have to study hard, maybe I will have the opportunity to speak in the future."

Guo Yiling said: "Of course you have to learn, and you will definitely need it in the future!"

On the stage, Guo Zhaohui paused, and said, "But today's host is Brother Jinhui, so naturally I can't overwhelm the host. Talking too much certainly won't do, so I'll go straight to the point." He signaled the waiter to bring it up. When I took a glass of red wine, I first took a look at the color, then smelled the smell, and took a sip to taste. The whole process was extremely skillful. It seemed that I was usually a person who liked and could drink red wine.

"I have known Jinhui for many years. He is a successful businessman. He never deceives customers. If he says the wine is good, it is really good." Guo Zhaohui put down his glass and said with a smile, "I have been drinking red wine for nearly 10 years. , I feel that I have just stepped into the threshold. Judging by my taste, this red wine can be positioned as the upper-middle class, the price is not expensive and it tastes good, which is quite good!" After finishing speaking, he took another sip.

There was a lot of discussion below, as Guo Zhaohui was willing to advertise Xiao Jinhui's red wine, I am afraid that the relationship between the two is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"It's over, I'm talking too much if I don't leave a myth!" Guo Zhaohui laughed at himself, "I'm really sorry for bringing the bad habits of the officialdom to life! The last sentence is that the wine is very good and worth buying. You can think carefully about it. .” He moved away from the microphone and finished speaking.

Xiao Jinhui stepped forward and said, "Minister Guo is really humorous, but it's really radiant to let him advertise my red wine." He laughed, and the next one laughed too.

"It's still the same sentence, everyone here who wants to buy red wine, come to me in a while, it must be the lowest price, and it will definitely not cheat anyone!"

Xiao Jinhui accompanied Guo Zhaohui off the host stage, and a group of people immediately surrounded him. There were not many people who bought wine, but there were quite a few people who had a relationship with Guo Zhaohui.

Xiao Jinhui introduced them one by one, and Guo Zhaohui was very patient, and everyone chatted a few words.

The crowd dispersed quickly, leaving only a few acquaintances, centered on Guo Zhaohui and Xiao Jinhui, and surrounded them to chat.

"Jinhui, this year's promotion is thanks to your sponsorship!" Guo Zhaohui clinked glasses with him to express his gratitude.

Xiao Jinhui smiled and said: "It's nothing, I can make some contribution to Junbei, and it's something I, a resident citizen, should do."

"This year's competition is very fierce. Since the establishment of this good person list, no one from Donghai Province has ever been on the list, and Junbei has never had a representative. This year, Lin Tao is very promising, and Secretary Huo values ​​it very much."

Xiao Jinhui smiled and said: "Speaking of the list of good people, our protagonist is here today, do you want to meet?"

Guo Zhaohui nodded and said, "I've read a lot of reports, but I haven't seen the real person. Where is he? Take me to meet him."

Lin Tao was accompanying Guo Yiling to deal with partners, when he heard Xiao Jinhui's voice behind him, saying, "Brother Lin, Minister Guo is here to see you!"

Guo Yiling quickly ended the conversation and turned around at the same time as Lin Tao.

Guo Zhaohui had a faint smile on his face, stretched out his right hand before the person approached, and said, "Lin Tao, I finally saw a living person today!" Make people feel good.

Lin Tao stepped forward, held out a hand, nodded and smiled, "Hello, Minister Guo!"
