There were already quite a number of guests in the hall. They gathered in small groups of twos and threes and chatted with each other. Some were looking at the night view from the balcony and discussing business cooperation, and some were dancing to beautiful music on the dance floor in search of a suitable lover. There were at least three to four hundred people in total. Including the waiters and maids, the place was bustling with noise and excitement.
Under Tang Muxin's secret guidance, Hong Dali knew that there were political celebrities, business tycoons, celebrities from the entertainment industry, and even a few mafia bosses with considerable influence. Hong Dali estimated that these hundreds of people probably controlled more than 40% of the power in Tianjing City. It was terrifying and fully deserving of being part of the upper class.
"What kind of person could have such great power?" Hong Dali muttered to himself. Before coming, Liu Mingxin did not mention the organizer and only said that it was a private reception. But now, it seemed that it was far more than that.
At this time, the most dazzling star in the entire venue was Tai Yajing. Her thick, wavy, golden hair casually draped over her shoulders. Every strand of it was mesmerizing. Her thick eyelashes, charming eyes, and sexy, plump lips revealed a myriad of amorous feelings. She wore a pinkish-purple jacket that accentuated her perfect figure. Paired with a light yellow velvet knee-length skirt and a pair of black high-heeled boots, even Hong Dali had to admit that it was no wonder Tang Muxin liked her so much back then. This female celebrity did indeed have the right to be arrogant.
"It's Miss Tai Yajing. Dali, can I ask for an autograph?" Seeing her superstar, Tang Muxin was very excited. She pulled Hong Dali and ran over.
"There's no need to be so excited …" Actually, Hong Dali could not be blamed. He was not familiar with the celebrities in this world. If Liu Dehua was there, he would probably run faster than Tang Muxin.
At this time, Tai Yajing was a little overwhelmed and did not have time to care about Tang Muxin's small request. Furthermore, Tang Muxin did not bring pen and paper today. There was not even a place for her to sign. Hong Dali humphed and said, "Let's wait first. It won't be good if we go now." At this time, he saw the table at the side and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Sigh, there is a lot of delicious food there. Let's eat something first."
It was really shameful to eat on such an occasion. Tang Muxin looked left and right, her face burning. She secretly pulled Hong Dali and said, "Are you crazy? If you eat here, others will laugh at you."
"I'm going to pretend to be a prodigal today anyway. I'm going to act as myself, what's there to be afraid of?" Hong Dali mumbled. "If it's really delicious, I'll have to tip it."
Tang Muxin felt weak all over. In the end, she decided to give up. Who asked them to come here for a different purpose?
When they reached the dining table, Hong Dali and Tang Muxin sat down. The nine lackeys beside him were very observant and had prepared all kinds of utensils for them. Ling Xiaoyi even specially took out a white handkerchief and tucked it into Hong Dali's collar. The scene was so dazzling that it would definitely blind the eyes of the people around. If there were a few more people sitting beside them, it would be a standard scene of "The Last Supper."
This charity banquet was just like a business conference. No one was really interested in the food. Everyone was busy looking for new partners, getting to know some big shots, talking to interested strangers to help each other in their careers, or just chasing after beautiful women. However, Hong Dali's imposing manner very quickly attracted the attention of many people.
Just as Hong Dali was about to start eating, he suddenly heard a gloating laugh. "Yo, isn't this my Brother Dali? Why, you didn't squander at Ye Lai Xiang's place recently, but came here instead? "
This voice was a little familiar. Hong Dali turned around and saw that it was his elder brother, Hong Anbao.
Speaking of which, it was normal for Hong Anbao to appear here. However, Hong Dali naturally wouldn't give this fellow any face. He humphed and said, "Why, I can't come here?" As he spoke, he picked up a piece of Goubao's pickled vegetable and ate it. At this time, a female lackey even brought him a set of small pastries that looked very good. Hong Dali was quite satisfied. "En, not bad. Five thousand."
The female lackey happily retreated.
"Hahahaha, you're still so prodigal!" Seeing Hong Dali's actions, Hong Anbao laughed so hard that he bent over. He pointed at Hong Dali and loudly said, "I finally understand. I was still wondering why you would come here just now. Now, it seems that you are here to squander. Speaking of which, how much do you intend to spend at the auction later? "
I'm acting like this for you to see, idiot.
Before Hong Dali said anything, Tang Muxin was already angry. "How much money we want to spend is none of your business."
"Alright, it's none of my business. I was just casually asking." Hong Anbao laughed coldly. "Dali, have you reached the stage where you need to rely on a woman to protect you? Aiya, that's really pitiful. "
Hong Dali muttered to himself, but on the surface, his face was full of surprise. "No, aren't you going to let me speak? Speaking of which, how did you know that I'm here for the auction? Wait for a while, I came out in a hurry today and haven't eaten yet. Why don't you accompany me to eat? "
"I can't afford to lose face like that." Hearing Hong Dali's invitation, Hong Anbao decisively took two steps back. "Coming here for dinner, sigh, what a disgrace to our family."
"It's the same wherever we eat." Hong Dali smiled. "The environment here is elegant and lively. It's not bad. I'll watch you guys dance while I eat. If I'm satisfied, I'll give you a tip or something. Isn't that good? "
Once he said that, Hong Anbao's face turned green and he broke out in cold sweat.
Just now, he was prepared to invite Tai Yajing to dance and show off his dance skills that he had trained hard for many days. Now that Hong Dali said that, how would he dare to dance? If Hong Dali really shouted something like "5,000 for a good dance," he wouldn't be able to face the world anymore.
The scariest thing was that Hong Dali was capable of doing something like that …
As the two of them stared at each other, a gentle voice sounded. "Young Master Anbao, why are you ignoring me? This is? "
Hong Dali turned around and was instantly amused. What a coincidence. It was Tang Muxin's idol, Miss Tai Yajing.
"Oh, nothing much. My prodigal brother, Hong Dali." Hong Anbao smiled. "Dali, this is Miss Tai Yajing. I don't think I need to introduce her, right?"
Hearing that the person in front of her was the famous prodigal in Tianjing City, Tai Yajing instantly smiled. "It's an honor to meet you. I've long heard of Young Master Dali's name. Now that I've met you, you really live up to your reputation." As she said that, her eyes kept looking back and forth between Hong Dali and the dining table. As she spoke, she smiled, full of disdain that she couldn't even be bothered to conceal.
Hong Dali sniffled. It seemed that these two obviously had something going on. The moment they met, they mocked and ridiculed each other. It was as if they didn't take him seriously. As the saying goes, now is the time to squander. Hong Dali snapped his fingers. "This sister is not bad looking. Tip her 20,000!"
