Liang Qichao couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, 'This is what a perfect match looks like!'
In comparison, although he was also wearing an Armani suit, his slightly bloated body couldn't make him look classy. Instead, he looked like a nouveau riche.
Liang Qichao couldn't help but feel depressed. Comparisons were odious!
Lin Qiao's face had a hint of shyness. She said coquettishly, "Brother Ruofei, what are you looking at? Don't you recognize me? "
Xia Ruofei came back to his senses and smiled. "I almost couldn't recognize you. Our Qiao 'er looks so beautiful in an evening gown!"
Lin Qiao was delighted. It was as sweet as honey. She blushed and smiled at Xia Ruofei. She lifted the hem of her dress and walked down the stairs.
"Brother Ruofei, you have such a sweet mouth. Did you trick sister-in-law like this?" Lin Qiao walked up to Xia Ruofei and smiled.
"What do you mean by trick?" Xia Ruofei said, "Qingxue and I are in love. We're childhood sweethearts, okay?"
Liang Qichao couldn't help but give Xia Ruofei a thumbs up in his heart when he saw him talking about his girlfriend in front of a beauty.
Xia Ruofei was a little slow in this aspect. Even Liang Qichao could tell that Lin Qiao was looking at Xia Ruofei in a weird way.
It was already close to six in the evening. The three of them set off immediately after they were ready.
Paradise Farm wasn't far from Bogolbin. Liang Qichao drove the Mercedes-Benz to the Spicer Vineyard Hotel about twenty minutes later.
This mansion-style hotel was considered high-end in the entire Hunter Valley. It had top-notch luxurious decorations and a beautiful and quiet environment. It sat on a vast vineyard view.
Every room in this hotel was located in the rolling vineyards and native bushes. It was as romantic as a forest house in a fairy tale.
In order to provide the most private and comfortable living experience, the hotel only had eight rooms.
Of course, the reception party was held in the main banquet hall of the hotel. Those who attended the party tonight were all managers of the wineries and farms in the Hunter Valley area, so there was no need for rooms.
The car passed through a quiet forest path. Along the way, they could see small independent villas hidden by the green trees, as well as swimming pools and small golf courses of various shapes.
The small parking lot was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars. Brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW were not eye-catching at all here. Xia Ruofei even saw two Bentleys.
After parking the car, Xia Ruofei and the other two walked into the banquet hall built by the bar owner.
At the entrance of the hall stood four men in black with cold expressions. Although it was early evening, they still wore sunglasses and turned their heads to observe the situation around them from time to time.
After carefully checking Xia Ruofei and Liang Qichao's invitation cards, the man in black stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture to let the three of them pass.
Xia Ruofei noticed that among the four men in black, one was black, one was white, and the other two had yellow skin and black hair like them.
Liang Qichao smiled and whispered, "Ruofei, the owner of this channel business is Chinese, so there are many Chinese people under him. But whether it's their boss or their bodyguards, most of them came to Australia several generations ago. So, except for their different looks, they are actually born and raised in Australia. "
"The legendary banana man!" Xia Ruofei smiled. Suddenly, his heart moved and he asked in a low voice, "You said that the owner of this channel business is Chinese? Could it be Tang Yitian of the Meiya Group? "
Liang Qichao was a little surprised. "You also know about the Meiya Group? It seems that you have done your homework! The Chinese name of the chairman of the Meiya Group, Ethan Tang, seems to be Tang Yitian! "
In Australia, Liang Qichao's grasp of the situation was not the same as in China. In media reports and some formal occasions, Tang Yitian used his English name. In fact, this was also the name on his ID card. The name "Tang Yitian" was given by his father according to the family tree.
Xia Ruofei had heard Jennifer call Tang Yitian "Easen" on the plane.
"Is the Meiya Group very powerful in Australia?" Xia Ruofei asked.
He only knew a little from Lin Qiao. As for Tang Yitian himself, it was certainly impossible for him to boast in front of him.
Liang Qichao said somewhat exaggeratedly, "Just remove the word 'is'. Meiya is a retail giant in Australia. Among the three major supermarket chains in Australia, Meiya is also worthy of being the leader. It's no exaggeration to say that if we can get the support of Meiya Supermarket, our Wonderland Farm can do whatever we want in Australia. Even if we don't have the advantage of the quality of Taoyuan vegetables, we can still sell well in Australia! "
"That's amazing …" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but secretly click his tongue. Then he asked, "Will Tang Yitian attend tonight?"
Xia Ruofei thought that if Tang Yitian also attended this banquet, he could introduce Liang Qichao to him. Then, Wonderland Farm would basically not have to worry about the channels. Liang Qichao could focus on making good products.
"It's unlikely that he will attend." Liang Qichao said, "Today's banquet is only for the suppliers in the Hunter Valley area. I guess it's already a very high standard for the person in charge of Meiya New South Wales to attend."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Got it."
If Tang Yitian didn't come, Xia Ruofei wouldn't have specially called him to tell him about it. Anyway, he would go to Sydney to meet him in a while, so he could just mention it by the way.
Considering social etiquette, Xia Ruofei and Liang Qichao spoke very softly. After Lin Qiao entered the door, he was busy admiring the beautiful decoration and exotic furnishings in the hall. He didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.
In the banquet hall, there were many soft sofas and single sofas placed in an orderly manner. Exquisite desserts were placed on the long table against the wall. Many waiters in black vests were shuttling through the crowd with trays in their hands, ready to serve the guests at any time.
There was a white grand piano in the corner of the hall. A white performer in a tuxedo was immersed in playing the piano. Soothing piano music flowed in the hall.
The guests were either sitting or standing, elegantly holding wine glasses and whispering in twos and threes.
The New South Wales branch of the Meiya Group held this kind of banquet every quarter. The purpose was to strengthen the communication between suppliers. For suppliers, this was also a good opportunity to communicate with each other and get closer to the Meiya Group.
After Lin Qiao, who was like a flower fairy, entered the hall, she immediately attracted a lot of attention. The evening gown almost perfectly set off the charm of an Asian girl. At the same time, there was a hint of playfulness. Many people turned their heads to look at her.
There were also some young people who raised their glasses to Lin Qiao in a friendly manner.
On the way, Xia Ruofei introduced some social etiquette to Lin Qiao. However, after entering the banquet hall, Lin Qiao still seemed a little nervous.
Xia Ruofei gently patted Lin Qiao's soft hand on his arm and said, "Relax. Don't you see that your beauty has conquered the entire hall? Just say hello to them. It's okay. "
Xia Ruofei's words seemed to be magical. Lin Qiao's face slowly bloomed with a smile. She nodded and reached out to take a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray. Then, she raised her glass to the people who greeted her.
After entering the banquet hall, Liang Qichao and Xia Ruofei separated.
He had been in Australia for nearly a year, so naturally, he had a lot of acquaintances in the Hunter Valley. Therefore, he also walked through the crowd with a glass of wine and talked to people from time to time.
Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao strolled around the hall for a while. After eating a few snacks, the two found an empty sofa and sat down to rest.
On a sofa on the other side of the hall, a young man and a young woman were sitting and talking.
These two people were Zheng Peng and Tan Lili.
Tan Lili, who had never been to such a high-end banquet, was like Granny Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden. Her face was glowing.
This was because she was dressed very sexily. She wore a deep V-neck purple evening gown that accentuated her voluptuous figure. Especially her towering breasts, which attracted a lot of attention.
Tan Lili was very vain. She was naturally overjoyed to receive so much attention.
From time to time, she would raise her glass to the people who greeted her. Sometimes, she would even bow slightly, looking elegant and calm.
"How is it, baby? Not bad, right? "Zheng Peng asked with a smile as he held Tan Lili's waist with one hand.
Zheng Peng also felt very proud that his female companion was so beautiful that she had impressed everyone.
"Very good!" Tan Lili said happily. "It's just like how I imagined the life of the upper class! Honey, you have to bring me to more events like this in the future! "
"No problem …" Zheng Peng casually made an empty promise.
At this time, Tan Lili's gaze was a little dazed. She looked in a direction and said to herself, "Why are they here?"
"Who is it?" Zheng Peng said as he followed Tan Lili's gaze.
Then, his face became gloomy because he saw Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao.
Tan Lili's face didn't look good either. Lin Qiao was like a beautiful little princess today. She was like a magnet that attracted a lot of attention. This made Tan Lili feel very uncomfortable.
Zheng Peng's eyes flashed with a dark look. He then said with a smile, "Lili, since your classmate is here, let's go say hello?"
Tan Lili couldn't help but look at Zheng Peng and said, "Say hello? Lin Qiao's boyfriend is so barbaric. Aren't you afraid … "
Zheng Peng smiled coldly and said, "What kind of occasion is this? Does he dare to hit me? I can't wait for him to hit me! Don't you see the men in black around us? Let me tell you, they are real people from the Chinese Society. "
Speaking of this, Zheng Peng seemed to be a little unsatisfied. He paused and continued, "Have you heard of the Vigilante Association? Back then, Ethan Tang was the boss of the Vigilante Association. He swept away the Vietnamese gangs in New South Wales, the Indonesian gangs, and even the entire Australian underworld! Now, although Ethan Tang has cleared his name, whoever dares to cause trouble in his place is like holding a lantern in the toilet. They are looking for death! "
Tan Lili's eyes lit up when she heard this. "The boss of the Chinese Society? Isn't that Ethan Tang very impressive? "
Zheng Peng glanced at Tan Lili and said, "Don't be so smitten! People like Boss Tang are not people we can come into contact with! Let's go and say hello. I want to find out more about him! "
"Find out what?" Tan Lili asked, puzzled.
