The thick red carpet extends from the main entrance to the banquet hall in the distance. When it comes to step on it, it feels a little fluttering, as if it is in the clouds.

The warm wind with a fragrant breath blew gently, dispelling the cold outside. Zhao Xinglan's physique didn't matter, but the aunts around her and the ladies with thin dresses all showed relief.

Two rows of girls in red uniforms lined up on both sides, with a kind and enthusiastic smile on their beautiful faces, greeting every guest who came in warmly. Walking through the carpet, there was the main venue for the cocktail party, a venue of thousands of square meters. At this moment, many brightly dressed men and women have already arrived.

Zhao Xinglan habitually glanced around and soon found many extremely clever cameras hidden in the hall, spreading all over the corners of the hall. Of course, this is just a normal security monitoring measure in the hotel, not a deliberate target.

She looked at herself with some dissatisfaction. This kind of dress is beautiful, but it is really inconvenient to deal with emergencies. She just hopes that there will be no trouble in this cocktail party.

On the high dome, gorgeous classical palace lanterns sprinkle warm light, making the huge venue as bright as daylight. Large and exquisite reliefs on the walls are revealed, rows of wide and thick oak dining tables are filled with various gourmet snacks carefully cooked by famous hotel chefs, as well as high-end wine and beverages from different brands.

After seeing the delicacies, Zhao Xinglan showed a happy smile on her face. This cocktail party was not in vain. After meeting the protagonist of the cocktail party, the next one was her gluttonous feast!

"Lanlan, this is the first time you have appeared in the Binhai social circle since you became an adult, so... be serious!" My aunt seemed to see her absent-minded and reminded her with a serious expression.

Zhao Xinglan agreed, and a faint feeling emerged in her heart. This aunt may be harsh sometimes, but she is really kind to her.

Isn’t this what the elders are like? Their ideas may be somewhat inconsistent with the younger generation, but they cannot completely deny their care and dedication to themselves.

Her personality is strong and independent, and decisive, but she is not a naughty child who is rebellious by nature and is ungrateful and wants to be separated from her elders everywhere. As long as it is not a matter of principle, she will not be too petty.

I also have a gentle, kind, kind, kind and easy-going side. Of course, this only gives relatives and friends who are good to me, and has nothing to do with others.

Zhao Yuanxin felt a little regretful. Her niece was so outstanding and her family was not bad. It would be even better if she could hold a special coming-of-age party on her 18th birthday. It was still a big blame for her brother and sister-in-law. She only knew how to be busy with business and didn’t care enough about her daughter.

My aunt took her to the platform on the side of the venue. Several middle-aged men and women dressed in beautiful clothes and noble bodies were talking around an old man with white hair and good-bearded hair and energetic spirit. They were quite respectful in their words. It seemed that he was the president of the Binhai Chamber of Commerce and the main leader of this cocktail party, Liu Dongming.

Zhao Yuanxin walked forward a few steps and greeted the old man enthusiastically. The president seemed to be familiar with her and his words were more casual and natural.

"Old Liu, this is my niece..." She pulled Zhao Xinglan behind her and introduced her to the other party.

The voices around him suddenly lowered, and almost everyone's eyes fell on the stunning girl who was swaying on the ground without makeup, and was as cool as an iceberg snow girl. Her expression could not hide her surprise, shock, and incredible expression.

"...Is this the niece of Sister Zhao's family? I really didn't expect it!"

"...Well, it's really so beautiful. It looks much more beautiful than the daughter of the Xiao family and the one from the Yu family!"

"...I think the title of No. 1 Beauty in Binhai City is about to be replaced. What do you think?"

"...Binhai? The princesses of the aristocratic families in the imperial capital may not be as good as her!"

“…”

Even Liu Dongming, who has experienced many years of experience and has seen all the vicissitudes of the world, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he nodded with a smile: "It turns out that he has a dignified and outstanding appearance. I don't know which young man will be blessed in the future!"

Zhao Xinglan bowed slightly and greeted him obediently. This is a leading figure in the business circle of Binhai City and a veritable big shot. It can be said that almost any business owner who wants to develop in Binhai City dare not ignore the attitude of this big shot.

Perhaps... when I open a company in the future, I may also deal with this old man or his relatives and friends, so it is not harmful to leave a good impression on the other party now.

As guests came to celebrate the birthday, Zhao Yuanxin pulled her back within a few minutes, and waited for a while before the reception officially began.

People around me come to say hello to Zhao Yuanxin from time to time. It seems that this aunt has many old friends in the business world of Binhai City. Moreover, because of her own, some people who don’t know her aunt have tried to get close to each other. In addition to compliment and praise, I have to ask: "Does your niece have a boyfriend?"

If there is any answer, they will ask which boy from the family is so lucky; if there is no answer, there will be more trouble in the future.

Therefore, after dealing with another overly enthusiastic woman, Zhao Xinglan spoke to her aunt and avoided the crowd and hid aside.

There is also a spacious exit on the other side of the hall. Walking over, you will find that it is an indoor courtyard with a larger area, with rockery, pavilions and towers, which are decorated ingeniously, and there is a huge transparent glass dome above it.

Zhao Xinglan has never been to such a place before, so it feels good to walk around and take a look.

Occasionally, when they meet certain men and women, they all show enough interest in this stunning beauty, but unfortunately the other party always walks away in a hurry and doesn't give them a chance to approach.

"...Sister Xinglan, you are here too!" A female voice with a little familiarity came.

When she looked back, she found that it was Xia Yuxin, wearing a brand new white princess dress, looking pretty and cute. After seeing her dressing look at her now, her eyes showed a evident envy and stunning look.

The goddess at this time is the stunning goddess who truly inverts all living beings, a goddess who combines nobility and sexiness, elegance and beauty!

"Oh, what a coincidence!" Zhao Xinglan responded with a smile: "Where is your brother? Are you not here today?"

"He just went to talk to Jin Changhui for a drink." Xia Yuxin came over to hold her and said, "The cocktail party is about to begin, let's go in?"

Zhao Xinglan nodded, and the two women walked and chatted. When they returned to the main hall, the opening time of the cocktail party was almost here.

The people who were originally chatting together in groups of three or five were now sitting under the guidance of the waiter. Needless to say, the first three rows were all famous and surnamed figures from all walks of life in the coastal area. Just to arrange these seats, it is a very errand that tests the organizer's mind and ability, and you may offend people if you are not careful.

As for the seats in the middle and behind, they were more casual. Zhao Xinglan quickly found his aunt and went to sit with her.

After the guests arrived, Mr. Liu Dongming went on stage to speak briefly some scenes, and then several prominent figures also stood up and said a few words and presented gifts. Next was the guests' free time to have fun, drinking, dancing and tasting food, or finding a suitable partner to chat and date, no one asked about it.

It is said that there are lottery events at the cocktail party, and the various prizes look very generous. However, this is randomly selected based on the number of the guests' invitations. The specific operation is all within the organizer's thoughts, so Zhao Xinglan was not interested in paying attention.

After talking to her aunt, she couldn't wait to come to the oak tables and began to choose her favorite food, cod crab, clams, sea cucumbers, steak, abalone... whatever she likes! Since she has come here, she is simply sorry for her conscience when she returns without eating enough.

Just as her hand reached for a plate of nine-tailed conch, the other hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the plate. Both sides exerted force at the same time, but they actually froze in the air.

Zhao Xinglan looked up in surprise and found that the owner of the hand was a beautiful boy with red lips and white teeth and eyes that looked like a varnish. He looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. He was wearing a sky blue suit with a combination of cut eyes, clear eyes, heroic posture, and a faint nobility all over his body.

After seeing her appearance clearly, the boy's fair face suddenly turned red and he stuttered: "Sister, you...you are so beautiful!"

"Haha, you're pretty, like a girl," Zhao Xinglan smiled faintly: "Can't you be a woman dressed as a man?"

The boy's face turned redder and he explained seriously: "I'm not a girl."

Zhao Xinglan smiled and nodded. While he was relaxing, he exerted a little force in his jade hand, grabbed the conch plate, put it on a large dining plate and turned around and left.

She found a seat nearby to sit down, and she began to eat.

The beautiful boy winked at the people who looked like a bodyguard behind him, then followed him with a plate and sat down opposite him, looking at her without blinking with bright and dark eyes.

Some young man who thought he was good in the distance planned to come and chat with Zhao Xinglan, but after seeing the young man, they all chose to retreat, including Jin Changhui, although his expression was very unwilling.

In this way, she was quiet and could eat and drink with confidence without worrying about being disturbed.

After a while, the food on the plate was bottoming out. She raised her head and glanced at the boy, and said calmly: "Have you seen enough? Go and get some food for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the bodyguards a few meters away all turned pale.
Chapter completed!
