The Sick and Weak Horse Dressed As a Villain

At 7 o'clock in the evening the next day, Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan changed into formal attire and went to the Peninsula Hotel where the charity reception was tonight.

The theme of the reception was fundraising for refugees.

The war in Southeast Asia that has lasted for more than 20 years has come to an end. Over the past few years, there have been hundreds of thousands of refugees who have sought refuge in Hong Kong City because of the war, including the Kowloon Walled City and the Kwun Tong Yiwu District, both of which are concentrated areas of refugees. In addition, the Hong Kong government has also built several independent refugee camps to provide temporary asylum for these war refugees.

Although the influx of refugees has brought a lot of hidden dangers to the city, many citizens are suffering beyond words. But for politicians and rich people who live in two worlds with refugees, these refugees can become a stepping stone to their careers. This charity cocktail party is another great feat that the rich can be praised for.

The cocktail party invites celebrities in the city, not all the rich, and there are also many celebrities in the literary and artistic circles, in order to weaken the copper smell of the cocktail party.

Qiao Wen and Chen Canan, who are neither rich nor celebrities, are probably the two Mr. Dongguo who are overwhelming at this cocktail party.

However, the two of them in suits and leather shoes, combing their brightly divided heads, looked like famous men, or very handsome ones. In addition, the two of them are very generous, so when they walked into the luxurious banquet hall of the fragrant temples, there was no sense of disobedience at all.

Qiao Wen was calm and generous, all because he was born in his previous life and well-informed, and Chen Jianan's life in the upper class for the first time was also unrestrained, because he was really a very confident young man, and he didn't think there was anything about the rich. Impressive.

Not long after the two went in with the invitation card, they met an acquaintance, it was Zhou Sir who was in full swing in the past six months.

Zhou Renjun was obviously surprised at the arrival of the two. He took them to find a seat and asked, "Why are you here too?"

Qiao Wen said: "Mr. Zhou sent us an invitation."

Zhou Renjun nodded, because he didn't understand business affairs, so he didn't ask much. However, Qiao Wen remembered that his Master Zhou’s Zhou seemed to be related to Zhou Chaozheng’s Zhou, so he asked casually: "Young Master Zhou, what is your relationship with Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Renjun: "Oh, he is my cousin."

Qiao Wen nodded clearly. The Zhou family has been a famous port in Hong Kong since the Republic of China. It has developed into several branches in the whole family. They are intertwined and have outstanding people in all fields. They are regarded as the most prestigious OldMoney family in Hong Kong.

He recalled the plot of the original world again, because the protagonists were Lin Zihui and Chen Jianan, plus a Zhong Kaiwen who had ended early now. There was very little description of the other giants in the city, and the Zhou family only mentioned it a little, which was completely unimportant. However, in this real world, they are all incredible big shots.

"Brother Renjun!" He was thinking when a charming female voice came.

Zhou Renjun looked back, saw the person coming, smiled and said, "Jia Yin, haven't seen you in a long time?"

Zhou Jiayin came over and supported his shoulders and said: "Sir Zhou is very busy, how can I see me?" At this point, she noticed that the handsome young man in suit and leather shoes was Qiao Wen, and she was surprised, "Mr. Joe , Are you here too?"

Qiao Wen naturally remembered the Miss Chanel that she saw downstairs the day before yesterday, but she did not expect that she was also from Zhou's family.

He nodded and said politely: "Miss Zhou, good evening."

Zhou Jiayin said: "Zhou Sir, do you know Mr. Qiao?"

Zhou Renjun nodded: "Awen is my friend." Thinking of something again, he reached out and gestured to Chen Jianan and introduced, "There is also his brother Anan, who is also my friend. Awen Anan, Jiayin is my cousin. Daughter, my cousin."

Although Zhou Jiayin is a very young and beautiful modern girl, Chen Jianan, who is drinking tea, obviously has no interest in her and just nodded perfunctorily.

Qiao Wen was polite and polite as always: "It seems that Hong Kong City is really small."

Zhou Jiayin smiled and nodded: "It's true." When she said this, her gaze fell on Chen Jianan's face only with hindsight, and she was suddenly startled.

Chen Canan’s name for being a beautiful boy is never a mere fame, let alone wearing a vest, shorts and big slippers on weekdays. Going out is also handsome that cannot be ignored. Tonight, he has a suit and leather shoes, and his hair has been shaped by mousse. , That is naturally a standard handsome man. And because I don’t like to wear a tie, the buttons on the neckline are loosened. It is less serious, but a little more unrestrained. In addition, the brows are slightly frowned. It is an expression of arrogance and boredom. In the eyes of women, there is a kind of man who can’t be said. taste.

Miss Zhou was also attracted by Qiao Wen's beauty before, but when she saw the hormonal Chen Canan, her eyes lighted up, "empathize and fall in love", and enthusiastically stretched out her pampered white right hand to the other party: " Are you Anan who drew your sword to help some time ago?"

Chen Jianan kept frowning because he felt that the so-called upper-class people were all over the banquet with fake greetings. Everyone seemed to be wearing a mask, which made him very despised.

If this is the life of the upper class, then he doesn't think it is very interesting.

Because he was too busy to dislike the upper class, he didn't care about Zhou Renjun's cousin. When someone took the initiative to say hello, he had to look straight at the person. He just ignored the girl's slender hand and just nodded and said: "Yes, it's me."

It didn’t matter if Zhou Jiayin could not shake hands successfully, she naturally retracted her hand and smiled: “I’ve read a lot of reports from you. I didn't expect to meet you here, and it's Mr. Joe's brother. It seems that the world is really small."

Her enthusiasm and interest in Chen Canan can be said to be unconcealed, not to mention Qiao Wen, who is a little bit dumbfounded, and even the careless Zhou Renjun can't help but start rolling his eyes.

However, Chen Canan obviously did not receive any signal from the beauty, and he was a little bit brooding about the scene where the girl was talking to Qiao Wen a few days ago. Listening to her to say such a long list, I just feel inexplicable: "The martial arts hall is for teaching, not for performances. What kind of style can you see?"

There was an empty seat next to him. Zhou Jiayin sat next to him and smiled: "When can you perform? Will I have a chance to see it?"

This is already openly expressing interest in him, but it is a pity that Chen Jianan still cannot receive the signal from the other party, and replied solemnly: "I will not perform."

Zhou Renjun really couldn't stand it, and waved to his cousin: "Alice, aren't you here to help your uncle entertain guests? Why don't you sit here?"

Zhou Jiayin suddenly realized: "Almost forgot! Then you can do it yourself, there will be a dance party after the auction ends, and everyone will dance together."

When people left, Zhou Renjun shook his head and smiled: "My cousin, who went to the United States when she was a teenager, is completely American, and she is not reserved by girls at all."

Qiao Wen said: "I think it's good for girls to be so generous."

As soon as Chen Jianan heard him praise the girl, the alarm bell sounded loudly and frowned in dissatisfaction: "Do you think such a girl is very good?"

Qiao Wen knew what he was thinking, and joked: "You don't like this?"

Chen Jianan: "Of course I don't like it."

Zhou Renjun also deliberately said: "Anan, you don't like Alice like this? Then my cousin seems to be Luohua deliberately and ruthlessly."

Although Chen Jianan was hollow, he heard the meaning of this sentence and immediately glanced at Qiao Wen with a guilty conscience, and said righteously: "Sir Zhou, don't talk nonsense!"

Qiao Wen was so nervous that his shoulders almost shook.

After the episode, Zhou Chaozheng, the host of the reception, officially appeared.

Tonight was a semi-private dinner, with a total of ten guests and only a few reporters from major newspapers.

Zhou Chao is holding a wine glass, with Mrs. Zhou on his right hand and his niece Zhou Jiayin on his left. Every time he walks to a table, he greets a few words and then makes a symbolic toast.

When he came to this table, he first patted Zhou Renjun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "A Jun, it is rare for a busy person to come and play once."

"Uncle Nine," Zhou Renjun smiled, "You have called yourself, how dare I not join in this excitement."

Qiao Wen remembered that he had seen Zhou Chaozheng's introduction. The Zhou family ranked ninth, and young people called him Jiu Shu.

Zhou Chao was smiling and nodded, then greeted the others on the table, and finally fell on Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan, and stretched out his hand: "The two must be Mr. Qiao and Mr. Chen from Wennan Real Estate, right? Can."

Qiao Wen frowned without a trace when he heard what he said.

In addition to the collection of more than a dozen small plots of land, Wennan Real Estate has not yet started any other business. It is basically a leather bag company that no one knows. This Zhou Da boss asked about the identity of the two, but it was not about Manager Qiao of Mengzhen Clothing, nor was he the master of Anan Wuguan, but directly mentioned Wennan Company, which is a bit unreasonable.

But Qiao Wen quickly understood, stood up and shook hands with him, smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, it is a pleasure to meet. It is our honor to receive Mr. Zhou's invitation."

Zhou Chaozheng said: "It should be, I admire talented young people the most. The two had a great time tonight."

He is a young man, but in fact he himself is less than forty, because he looks very well-born, well-maintained, and is very well dressed. He looks like a mature man of the right age and full of charm.

Qiao Wen, who sat back in his seat, looked around and saw a few people sitting at a table not far away. One of them was Peter Wang.

He was more sure of his conjecture in his heart.

It seems that the person Wang Peter said to buy the land in Banpo Linhai between him and Chen Canan should be the boss of Zhou Da. It is estimated that the boss of Zhou Da has investigated him and Chen Jianan clearly.

I can think that that piece of land can create tens of millions of benefits, and naturally there are others who want it.

He silently picked up the white porcelain cup in front of him and took a sip of tea, tens of millions is not a small number. Since Zhou Chaozheng had his eyes on this piece of land, it seemed like a circumstance, I am afraid that he was determined to win it.

It seems that development must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
