Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 867 – Flushing the Crown
With Duanmu Lin's team gone, Tang Xiu brought Mu Wanying to the recreation area in the corner of the banquet hall. He then randomly chose a sofa to sit on as his eyes looked towards the group of three to five well-dressed men and women before he shook his head and sighed, “You know, if I had to speak frankly, I never liked this kind of opportunity at all. It's like a waste of time seeing a group of people with masks talking hypocritical things that have no value whatsoever. ”
“Well, humans live in a secular world so they have to follow their habits. Do as the Romans did in Rome. ”Mu Wanying chuckles. “Although this type of charity is very stereotypical and everyone has a mask of hypocrisy on their face, it is not without any merit. The Chinese pay great attention to personal connections and networking, and this is a good place to make friends. Do you see men and women our age who get along well and seem to enjoy the joy? They are the typical second or third generation nouveau riche. And, on this occasion, the elders brought them here so that they could get to know each other and get along well; thus, they would form their own network of contacts in the future, which is also an alternative to teaching and growing their juniors! ”
“What you say makes sense.” Tang Xiu nodded.
“You know, I don't like shows like this either,” Mu Wanying laughed. “However, Zhang Group is my client, however, while Zhang Qingfeng also gave Me an invitation, so I plan to come to support the event.”
“Eh?” Tang Xiu was surprised. “Advertising company You have business dealings with Zhang Group?”
“It was you who introduced various businesses to me in the first place.” Mu Wanying looked deeply at Tang Xiu. “That then led to the advertising company I became famous in Shanghai; most of them came from people you know. They then introduced Me to some others — even Zhang Qingfeng personally searched for Me — and only then did I find out that Zhang Yueming of Xinyang Group recommended Me to him. Now, Zhang Group is a big client of my company. ”
“Yeah, then I need to do a show, it seems,” Tang Xiu said with a smile after studying it.
“Ehh? You wanna do something? “Mu Wanying wonder.
“You are my girlfriend, so it's only natural that I should give Zhang Qingfeng face, right?” Tang Xiu replied with a faint smile. “I don't want to say it, but it looks like I saw some big TV stars here.”
Mu Wanying turned around and suddenly found some famous first and second level stars who were quite famous in the entertainment world. They were all wearing evening dresses, each with a male or female friend next to them. They all smiled with smiles as they greeted and had small talk with people who were usually quite difficult to meet.
Time passed quickly and at eight o'clock in the evening, the charity party began and everyone went to the round table by the side of the hall to take their seats. The few men and women who shared a table with Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying did not recognize them. But as both of them were charming men and extremely beautiful women, it sparked curious gazes towards them from some middle-aged men and women.
“You ... are you, Boss Tang Xiu?” Asked the middle-aged man who was sitting across from Tang Xiu all of a sudden.
“I am indeed,” Tang Xiu replied with a smile.
The middle-aged man immediately looked surprised. He hurriedly got up to pick up his business card and handed it to Tang Xiu. “Halo, Mr. Tang. I'm honored to meet you here! I am the owner of Ziyang Household Appliances, Wang Mingwei. Please take good care of me whatever you can later. ”
“Ah, I didn't bring my business card. I'm really sorry, “ Tang Xiu said with a smile.
The smile on Wang Mingwei's face froze and he looked somewhat unhappy in his heart even though his expression was back to normal. However, he still replied, “It's okay.”
Tang Xiu then pulled out his phone and dialed Wang Mingwei's cell number written on the business card. It made the latter immediately dull for a moment as he looked at Tang Xiu in surprise.
“To be honest, I don't have the habit of carrying business cards with Me, but this is my cell number.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “We can contact directly later if Boss Wang does not block me.” ”
Wang Mingwei suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Tang Xiu and his smile was now sincere. Then he nodded with a smile. “Definitely. Please do not feel troubled and angry if I disturb you in the future. ”
“I won't!” Tang Xiu nodded and smiled at his words. Afterwards, he looked at Mu Wanying and smilingly said, “Wanying, why don't you greet Boss Wang as my girlfriend as well?”
Mu Wanying was startled but he immediately caught Tang Xiu's intentions. He took out his business card and handed it to Wang Mingwei and smilingly said, “Halo, Boss Wang. I'm Mu Wanying. ”
Wang Mingwei quickly read the business card and looked a little astonished. He then got up to accept it carefully. “Nona Mu is truly a proud daughter of heaven. So young, yet you have set up a big advertising company. I'll find the Marketing Director of My company once I get back and tell him to contact you further. I look forward to seeing you handle our ads in the future! ”
“Sure,” replied Mu Wanying with a smile.
At this moment, the other middle-aged men and women at the same table looked shocked by Wang Mingwei's actions and words. They became acquainted with the man and naturally understood his character. But the meaning of Wang Mingwei's words was very clear! Was it necessary for him to only give his company's advertising work to this beautiful woman?
“Brother Wang, who exactly is this Boss of Tang?” The middle-aged man sitting next to Wang Mingwei could not help but ask.
Wang Mingwei smiled and said, “Brother Zhu, You don't even know the owner of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, Tang Xiu? He is a God-favored person, the most legendary figure among our businesses! ”
Tang Xiu of the Magnificent Tang Corporation?
In that instant, the man and woman who shared the table with them had their expressions changed and shock could not stop covering their faces. Their business was not on a large scale, while Wang Mingwei, the most successful among them, only had a few billion yuan in net worth. Those with only a few hundred million assets rarely had the chance to be invited to this event today. Therefore, even though they knew a few things about Tang Xiu, they had never met him in reality.
The middle-aged man named Zhu hurriedly took out his business card and said with a smile, “Boss Tang, I really have stupid eyes and cannot recognize you. I am Zhu Tao, owner of Golden Bridge Co., Ltd. ”
“Halo, Boss Tang, I ..”
“Bos Tang ..”
In just a few minutes, Mu Wanying had received four business cards. What confused her between laughter and tears was that these four people obviously wanted to curry favor with Tang Xiu and they all said that they wanted to cooperate with his advertising company in the future.
Mu Wanying had already studied Tang Xiu's abilities before, but he was completely amazed at her at this moment.
At this moment, Zhang Qingfeng appeared with a microphone in hand on the stage in the interior specially built for this occasion. With a smiling face, she said, “Girls, I'm so glad you can all take precious time out of your busy schedule to come tonight ..”
Tang Xiu, who was sitting below the stage, observed Zhang Qingfeng. The man was not old yet and seemed to be in his early forties, yet his entire body seemed mentally strong and he could be said to be quite handsome and stylish. His smiling face was very gentle, while his words and mannerisms were more sincere and sincere than most people.
At the end of his speech, the bidding commotion finally began.
The items auctioned during this event were actually very common, at least for the first five items. However, to give Zhang Qingfeng an impression, there were still many people bidding and paying for the items auctioned, where the most expensive items were fans that sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
“Item that is auctioned next is a pair of jadeite bracelets that have been around for a long time. It is also the jewelry worn by the famous big star on the Shanghai coast during the time of the Republic of China. The initial offer was 100,000 yuan. And the auction starts now! ”
The beautiful dark green jadeite bracelet was then displayed on the projector screen and suddenly attracted the attention of the many female guests present.
With sharp eyes, Tang Xiu could tell at first glance that the jade bracelet was of good quality, even though it was not the best. However, in order to give Zhang Qingfeng face, he decided to give it to Mu Wanying.
“150.000!”
“160.000!”
“…”
“240.000!”
The price continued to soar and quickly rose to 240,000.
Tang Xiu glanced at Mu Wanying who remained silent yet smiled before he raised his hand and shouted, “300,000!”
Suddenly, a pair of eyes belonging to someone in the room turned their heads, while over a dozen others looked surprised because they knew Tang Xiu. Most of them even had a good relationship with him, such as the owner of Xinyang Group, Zhang Yueming.
“400.000.”
Just as everyone was observing Tang Xiu, a handsome young man sitting cross-legged shouted from one of the distant tables.
Tang Xiu glanced at him and suddenly smiled and shouted again, “One million! I think my girlfriend's gonna love this jade bracelet. ”
The young man's expression changed and he angrily glared at Tang Xiu. When everyone thought that he would not bid again, he said loudly, “Two million! My boyfriend has to be like this too. ”
At that moment, Zhang Yueming and Gu Changmin, both inside the banquet hall, also rose up. Under everyone's strict supervision, the former coldly looked at the young man and said in a deep voice, “Female friend Brother Tang likes jadeite bracelets, so I'll bid ten million. But I will give it to Brother Tang after the auction. ”
Gu Changmin also followed nonchalantly, “Master, if you want to raise the price, then I'll double your bid amount!”
The young man apparently knew who Zhang Yueming and Gu Changmin were. His face changed slightly with an annoyed expression and he no longer spoke.
Tang Xiu got up and under the watch of the spectators, he cupped his fists to Zhang Yueming and Gu Changmin and smilingly said, “Two Big Brother, you are so kind. But the protagonist tonight is Mr. Zhang and the purpose of this meeting is for charity. I did say that friend I love that jade bracelet, but how can I let you all pay for it? Alright, then I will bid twenty million yuan for the jade bracelet. Does anyone want to increase the offer further? ”
Hundreds of guests in the entire banquet hall suddenly exploded with commotion after hearing Tang Xiu's words. Many of those involved in the discussion whispered:
“Who is this guy? She's amazing, but kind of arrogant, isn't she? This pair of jade bracelets was only worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, yet he actually bid 20 million for it? ”
“Where did this rich big guy come from? Even the rich don't spend that much money, do they? ”
“There's a strange with him. Zhang Yueming and Gu Changmin were both well-known great figures in Shanghai; why would they support him in an opportunity like this? Is this guy really strong? ”
“Manic! Her boyfriend must be so happy! ”
“He's really crazy ..”
On stage, Zhang Qingfeng himself did not expect Tang Xiu to come personally tonight. He did send an invitation to Mu Wanying and he did not confirm whether he would come. However, to her surprise, not only did she come here, but she also brought Tang Xiu and gave him great honor.
