I was smoothly escorted to the destination of the evening banquet event.
It turns out that today's party is Captain Jan's birthday banquet. I only found out when I arrived, and I felt uneasy about my rudeness.
"How can this be, how can this be? I haven't even prepared a decent gift, I'm sure to disappoint him!"
Just as I was still feeling anxious, a waiter called me aside, and I was led to the last room at the end of the first row through the hall. A birthday gift had been prepared for me in advance. I covered my mouth with both hands, somewhat surprised.
"Sir, this is the key to that room. Please keep it safe. The gift is in the room! If necessary, you can go take a look!"
I took the key and held it tightly in my hand. I don't know who is so kind, thinking so thoughtfully for me. Could it also be Mr. Zhan?
Soon, the hall was getting more and more crowded, almost to the point of being described as "a sea of people."
I stood quietly in the dessert tasting area, holding a glass of red wine, silently observing these people. I seemed to have spotted someone familiar, her figure looked a lot like hers, but I didn't dare to confirm if it was really her. Because the woman in front of me didn't look like her usual self, giving me an indescribable feeling. Is it really the manager of Yi Hao Apartment, Mrs. Marina? Has she also come?
"Oh, my dear Mrs. Marina, is this a dream? Is it really you! Look at your outfit today, I almost didn't recognize you. You've really overturned my impression of you. Please allow me to kiss your hand!"
"Today's Xiao Bei is also very gentlemanly, so stylish! But your name isn't very good, you should have someone give you a new name that better suits your image!"
"Yes, dear Mrs. Marina, I think so too!"
"The birthday party is about to start, I think our host is about to make an appearance. I'm going to see if he's arrived!" Mrs. Marina said as she left.
Here are all high-ranking and distinguished individuals, many of whom are unfamiliar faces. I feel awkward approaching them to say hello. Especially the men, they have strong self-esteem and are afraid that the people around them are better than themselves.
You see, if two men are standing together, their conversation is almost always about how prosperous they are, always worried that the other will outdo them, so the conversation between two men seems so unpleasant. Such people are mostly those with strong vanity. The more they boast, the more they lack. This is the first time I have attended a banquet, and Captain Jan told me this himself. After my repeated verification, it is indeed the case.
So, this is also the reason why I don't want to stand with them. Compared to this type of men, there is another type of men, their topics are always about women, never involving their own stories.
I appreciate this type of people more. They can be considered shrewd, saying one thing in public and doing another thing in private. Their aura, their way of speaking, and their style of doing things are so elegant and cultured. They speak so artistically, and they are the role models I want to emulate. I think I also need to be as smooth as them, then I will progress. I will be as likable as them.
There are two gentlemen not far from me, chatting happily. I couldn't help but approach them, pretending to be lost in thought, but actually eavesdropping on their conversation.
"I heard his ex-girlfriend also came. After all, it's his own birthday party, and anyone related to him will come to show support. Besides, Mr. Zhan is always generous to everyone!"
"You've got a point there, after all these years. I haven't seen anyone confront him or speak ill of him behind his back! I really admire his ability to do that!"
"Who would dare confront him? That would just be asking for trouble! Any grievances can only be swallowed down, as no one has been able to bring him down so far, and no one dares to challenge him."
"I heard that the top ladies and noble wives of Paris will all be attending today. The gentlemen guests tonight are in for a treat. There will be no shortage of dance partners for the evening, and we can even change partners constantly, as long as everyone is having fun, right!"
"I'm not interested in dancing at all. I'm more interested in other people's gossip, or perhaps having a mistress. Haha, I heard he has quite a few lovers. I wonder if they will be jealous of each other tonight and put on a good show!"
"Yes, in order to win the hearts of their loved ones, I think they will do it!"
"This man has a way of harvesting women, making them willingly sacrifice themselves and dedicate their whole lives to him! His former lover with a higher status is such a woman. Unfortunately, I haven't met her, but I've heard she's an extraordinary woman!"
"Okay, let's not talk about others anymore. Let's talk about ourselves! How is your lovely little lover doing? Is the one you've tamed still doing well?"
"Tender and considerate. After spending time with her, you won't think about other women. Your mind is filled with her sweet voice, very enjoyable!"
"Why didn't you bring happiness with you tonight?"
"I came here to enjoy the beautiful women tonight. I'll find her after it's over!"
"Quick, look, they're here, so many people. Let's go over and see these socialites, maybe we'll recognize some familiar faces!"
"Let's go, follow them!"
"Oh, by the way, recently there's been a pretty boy around him, seems like their relationship is unusual. Do you know anything about him?"
"Not very clear, it seems like his figure can be seen at every event. He should be here today too!"
Zhang Xiaobei Listening to their discussion, he watched them leave for another place.
He secretly pondered in his heart, the life of the wealthy is truly rich, even with plenty of lovers. This is the kind of life he wants to have for himself.
