At 7: 30 at night.
Yanjing City was full of lights and traffic. It was a modern metropolis scene. Xiao Zheng drove the BMW and drove Lin Huayin, who was in the co-driver's seat, in the long traffic.
The birthday party started at 8 o 'clock and was seated at 8: 30. Although he was stuck at the crossroads, Xiao Zheng was confident that he could get to the hotel before 8 o 'clock.
The venue for the birthday party was a rare six-star hotel in Yanjing. It was called the Hua Mao International Hotel. The main investor behind the scenes was Lin Chaotian. For his wife's 50th birthday, he booked the largest banquet hall in the hotel and booked the entire ten floors as guest rooms.
According to the grapevine, the guests invited this time were either rich or noble, with a net worth of 10 billion or even 100 billion. The billionaire who dominated the local area and could definitely be called a very wealthy person, really did not have much of a presence at tonight's birthday party. It was possible to get the invitation of the Yanjing giant Lin Chaotian. Wasn't it a great face?
Even if he just played a small role, he could win over people from all sides. Maybe he could make a connection and negotiate a few deals?
Ding, ding, ding.
Xiao Zheng, who was bored waiting for the red light, suddenly received a phone call. Looking at the caller ID, it was Lin Xiaozhu.
Xiao Zheng smiled and answered the phone, "Xiaozhu, have you arrived? We're on the way. We'll be there soon. "
"Don't mention it!" Lin Xiaozhu said angrily on the other side of the phone. "The plane was delayed. I just wasted more than an hour because of the transfer problem, and now I'm about to get on the plane. Brother-in-law, don't wait for me to arrive and get drunk directly! "
Xiao Zheng grinned and said, "Don't worry. Just based on your brother-in-law's alcohol tolerance. Even if all the people are drunk, I won't get drunk. "
"Brother-in-law is mighty!" Lin Xiaozhu instantly beamed with joy. "Wait for me to come back and fight with you for three hundred rounds!"
"Deal." Xiao Zheng smiled and hung up the phone. He looked back at Lin Huayin, who had an unfriendly expression. "Xiaozhu was delayed. I guess I'll arrive later."
Lin Huayin said faintly, "I heard."
Xiao Zheng's hot face was snubbed by Lin Huayin, who was sulking. He shrunk his neck, turned on the music, and focused on driving.
Seven or eight o 'clock at night was the peak hour of Beijing's traffic. Not to mention motorized vehicles, even electric scooters would be stuck in traffic. Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry. He drove slowly and finally arrived at Hua Mao at 8: 15 pm.
After parking the car, Xiao Zheng looked up at the majestic and domineering luxury hotel. He clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "My father-in-law is really rich."
"If you don't do charity, you can build a hotel next door if you save up for a few years." Lin Huayin said expressionlessly.
"You can't say that." Xiao Zheng fixed his bow tie and said with a profound look on his face. "I did charity work. My current spiritual world is already full of skyscrapers, to the point of overflowing. "
Lin Huayin just said it casually. She did not reject Xiao Zheng's support for the Long Formation. On the contrary, no matter how much money Xiao Zheng spent, or what he did. As long as he did not touch her bottom line and violate her principles, she would support him without hesitation even if he had to spend all his money.
Walking through the red carpet, Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin came to the hotel lobby that was taken over by the birthday party organizer. Before the two of them passed through the lobby and entered the elevator. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes greeted them quickly. He said to Xiao Zheng with an amiable attitude, "Sir, please show me your invitation."
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng still had a smile on his face. He gestured to Lin Huayin and said, "Invitation."
Lin Huayin took out the invitation from her handbag and handed it to the lobby manager.
The lobby manager was not very careful. It seemed that he just glanced at it casually. Then he handed the invitation back to Lin Huayin.
This was a very skillful action, and it was not an effect that ordinary people could achieve. First of all, the lobby manager must confirm the authenticity of the invitation. After all, the guests attending the birthday party tonight were either rich or noble. If there were unnecessary suspects, how could he explain it to the big boss? Second, he could not check it too carefully, so as not to hurt the guests' self-esteem and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, when checking every invitation, the lobby manager had to do his homework. First, he could not offend people. Second, he could not let go of the fish that slipped through the net. It was a hard job, but also an important checkpoint. He had a heavy responsibility.
"No problem." The lobby manager smiled slightly. Just as Xiao Zheng was about to step into the elevator, the lobby manager stopped in front of Xiao Zheng without any aggression, and said in a humble tone, "Sir, what about you?"
"Hmm?"
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, quite puzzled.
But Lin Huayin was very clear about the lobby manager's meaning. But the more she knew, the more difficult it was for her to control her emotions that had accumulated for several days.
Where was Xiao Zheng's invitation?
He didn't have it at all!
But tonight's birthday party required an invitation to enter. One for each person, and no relatives or friends were allowed.
This kind of rule was not uncommon in the upper class. Even in many small cities, this set of unreasonable rules was becoming more and more popular. But at the same time, it was also the best way to avoid trouble. Perhaps it was a little simple and crude, but it was indeed effective.
Xiao Zheng was not a person who had not seen the world. He knew that to enter such an upper-class occasion, an invitation was definitely inevitable. But to his surprise, Lin Huayin's invitation could not dispel the lobby manager's vigilance, and he even stubbornly blocked his way. He continued to ask for an invitation.
Not knowing whether the lobby manager could guess Xiao Zheng's mood, he just explained very euphemistically, "Sir, tonight's birthday party is a private party. Every guest needs to have an invitation to enter and exit. Please understand."
This was not the lobby manager's personal rule, but the rule set by the big boss behind him, Lin Huayin. His attitude would be as euphemistic and implicit as possible, but his confidence was strong enough.
No matter how extraordinary the guest's identity was, who could be more powerful than Lin Chaotian?
The lobby manager was basically sure that Xiao Zheng did not have an invitation, and he just attached himself to the exquisite beauty in an attempt to muddle through.
Tonight, the lobby manager had driven away no less than ten people like him who fished in troubled waters. Because of the bad attitude of the invitation holders, he even did not hesitate to offend the guests, and even drove away the invited guests. His attitude was extremely tough.
What he said just now, first, was to explain the rules of the birthday party to Xiao Zheng. Second, it was also a hint to some extent, or it could be said that it was an eviction order.
No one could enter without an invitation.
So, you can do it yourself?
Just when the atmosphere gradually became dignified, the expressionless Lin Huayin handed out the invitation in her hand again, and said in a cold tone, "Look at it again."
