Ye Xuan did not change his habits even though he had suddenly received an invitation. He still drove to the teahouse, drank tea, and read books. When he was bored, he would also work as a waiter. That way, he would not feel bored. *
The teahouse was usually open until around 10 pm, but Ye Xuan was not so punctual. He would usually leave at 6 or 7 pm.
Today was no exception. At 6 pm, Ye Xuan greeted Zheng Jingxian, then got into the car, set the address on the invitation, and drove leisurely to Gangnam in Seoul.
Cheongdam-dong was a wealthy area that had only developed in Seoul in the past decade or so. Compared to Cheongbu-dong, where Ye Xuan lived, Cheongdam-dong was more well-known to foreigners in recent years.
Of course, this did not mean that Cheongdam-dong could compare to Cheongbu-dong. Cheongbu-dong was an old wealthy residential area. Most of the financial groups in Korea had set up businesses there. The most famous one was the Lee family of Korea's Samsung. The Lee family's old residence was in Cheongbu-dong.
The reason why Cheongdam-dong was more famous was that there were many film and television industries and celebrity management companies there. In recent years, Korea's encouraged Korean drama culture was often mentioned. Of course, it was also a famous commercial center in Seoul, complementing the neighboring Moou Pavilion. Countless rich people, businessmen, and film and television stars lived there.
When Ye Xuan first came to Korea, he had thought about living here. However, seeing how busy the people living here were every day, he felt that this kind of fast-paced life was not suitable for him. In addition, there were often concerts next to it, and groups of fans would appear. Ye Xuan felt that it was too noisy, so he chose to live in the more elegant and quiet Cheongbu-dong.
The car followed the flow of traffic at a steady pace. After driving for more than half an hour, he followed the route provided by the AI. From Myeong-dong to Cheongbu-dong, he went straight to Cheongdam-dong. After crossing the Han River, Ye Xuan quickly arrived at Cheongbu-dong. After passing Moou Pavilion, he arrived at Cheongdam-dong.
Although he did not know the way, with the help of the artificial intelligence, Ye Xuan easily drove the car to the address as soon as he entered the address on the invitation card. It was in front of a rather luxurious villa on Chongren Road in Qingtan Cave.
Because it was a private reception, the venue was not arranged in a hotel, but in Will Jonggris's personal villa.
The cocktail party would officially start at seven in the evening. Ye Xuan looked at the time. They would arrive in less than ten minutes. At this time, the front of the villa was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars. All kinds of men and women in suits and leather shoes or colorful clothes handed the invitation cards to the security guards and then walked into the main entrance of the villa.
Ye Xuan randomly found a place to park the car, then took out the invitation card and walked towards the gate unhurriedly.
Although Ye Xuan was different from those people who were dressed in suits and leather shoes and looked like successful people at first glance, he was only wearing a set of ordinary casual clothes. However, he was not ridiculed by the security guards or some thick-necked people like in movies and novels. Although the security guards were a little suspicious of Ye Xuan taking out the invitation card, after opening it and looking at it, they still very politely invited Ye Xuan in.
As for the other people who came to attend the cocktail party and saw him dressed like this, they were a little surprised. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't show it. After all, to be able to become successful people, these people's IQ wasn't low. It was impossible to offend a person who did not know his place for no reason just because of his clothes. Moreover, even if this person really sneaked in, it was none of their business. The owner of this place would deal with it.
It was not that Ye Xuan dressed like this on purpose. Although he had money and had been in Korea for a long time, he naturally bought a lot of clothes. However, he felt a little awkward wearing these suits and the like, especially when he had to wear a tie, which made him feel a little restricted. Therefore, his wardrobe was filled with some relatively high-end casual clothes, but he did not even have a suit.
In the past, he lived at the bottom of society and only did some small jobs. Naturally, he did not need to wear a white shirt and a suit all day like a white-collar worker. Later, he got the current system. In his eyes, money was nothing, and he did not need to wear a suit for anyone. Anyway, in his opinion, for things like clothes, as long as it was not shameful and comfortable, it was fine.
Walking into the gate of the villa, the layout was different from that of Ye Xuan's villa. Behind the gate was a small flower garden, and behind the flower garden was a stone staircase supplemented with cobblestones. At the end of the stone staircase, a middle-aged white man with wavy short blond hair was standing there, shaking hands and chatting with the guests who came in. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Mr. Kim, thank you for taking the time to come to my private cocktail party!" This middle-aged white man held the hand of a middle-aged man with a big belly in front of Ye Xuan, and he spoke fluent Korean.
"Mr. Will, you're too kind. It's my honor to receive your invitation. I have to thank your club for helping me win the lawsuit two months ago. Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble." Mr. King shook Will Jonggris's hand and smiled.
"It is also our honor. Please, Mr. Kim, have a drink or two later!" Will Jonggris did not say anything more to Mr. Kim, because he was no longer in the mood. Compared to the next guest, this Mr. Kim in front of him was really nothing.
Before Mr. Kim left, Will Jonggris, who had been standing there to welcome the guests, strode down from above. With a sincere smile on his face, he stretched out his hands and said, "Hello, you must be Mr. Ye Ye Xuan. I am Will Jonggris, the general manager of Goldman Sachs Law Firm in Korea. Thank you for coming to today's cocktail party."
Seeing Will Jonggris actually condescending to shake hands with this young man in casual clothes, the people who saw this scene were immediately shocked. Will Jonggris was the general manager of Goldman Sachs in Korea. Even when he saw the directors of some large financial groups, he was not so enthusiastic. They could not help but wonder who this young man who suddenly appeared was. Could he be the heir of some large financial group?
"Hello, Mr. Will. Thank you very much for your invitation!" Will Jonggris's enthusiasm was also somewhat unexpected to Ye Xuan. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, saying with a smile.
The reason why Will Jonggris was so enthusiastic to Ye Xuan was, of course, because Ye Xuan was a big financial backer. As the general manager of Goldman Sachs in Korea, he had long heard from Choi Ji-ho that Ye Xuan had a business of hundreds of millions of dollars in his hands.
During this period of time, there was a little change in the board of directors of the London headquarters. This change was a good thing for him, but he needed an opportunity, and the business of hundreds of millions of dollars in Ye Xuan's hands was his opportunity. As long as he could get this business, it was very likely that he would be promoted from a foreign director to a member of the board of directors, which was very tempting for him.
For this reason, he, who had gone to London to deal with some important matters a while ago, hurried back from London after dealing with some matters. If he had been in a hurry, he would have even wanted to come in person when he bought the island.
Today's private reception was said to be for business contacts. In fact, the most important thing for Will Jonggris was to find an excuse to get to know Ye Xuan and see if he could take the opportunity to talk about the rest of the business.
Just as Ye Xuan and Will Jonggris were talking, one of the girls who had just come out of the villa's gate suddenly blinked her eyes. After seeing that it was indeed Ye Xuan, she suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, why is he here?"
"Who's here? Madam, who did you see? "A tall girl stood next to the girl and asked.
"Oh, no, it seems to be someone I've seen before!" After confirming that it was the person, the girl withdrew her surprised gaze and turned her head with a sweet smile on her face. "The reception is about to begin. Let's go in quickly!"
