Chapter 222 Sister Nan takes over the Haitang Pavilion
The restaurant is dominated by red lacquered wood, with carved beams and painted ceilings, giving it an antique feel.
The room was decorated with flowers of various colors, and the two rows of tables were filled with exquisite pastries, drinks and food. The entire banquet was decorated very luxuriously.
At this time, there were already many men and women in formal attire, holding their wine glasses high, standing together in groups chatting.
Dong Xiangwan, the daughter of a wealthy family, is a well-known business woman in Nanjiang Province. She returned from studying abroad at the age of 24 and joined the group to gain experience within the group. In just six years, she became the vice president of Dongtai Group.
Dong Xiangwan is capable at work, has a unique vision, and has a good investment acumen. She started as a small employee and rose to the position of vice president of the group. This was partly due to the support of her elders, and more importantly, she was good enough.
It is said that the projects she handles are always over-delivered, and she is also smooth and sophisticated in her dealings, which is highly appreciated by the shareholders on the board of directors.
Today is Dong Xiangwan's 30th birthday, and many celebrities from both Zhengshang and Shang Dynasties are present in person, giving her enough face.
So tonight's banquet is said to be a ladies' party, but in fact it is more like a business dinner.
Gu Tingjun, Zhou Yao and Mo Xiaoxuan walked into the banquet hall.
Mo Xiaoxuan wore a light blue evening dress tonight, her long hair was pulled into a bun, and the sides were carefully decorated with crystal hairpins. She looked much more beautiful than usual.
It was her first time at such a high-society banquet, and her heart kept beating wildly, making her whole body feel awkward and helpless.
Gu Tingjun took great care of Mo Xiaoxuan and comforted her when he saw that she was nervous.
"Xiaoxuan, don't be too nervous. When Xiyan comes, you can follow her and see more of what she does."
Mentioning Gu Xiyan, Gu Tingjun's face showed a hint of pride.
"I know, cousin, when sister Xiyan comes, I will follow her and learn from her."
At this time, a young man and woman walked hand in hand. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was delicate and gentle. One was cold and the other soft, and their looks were particularly outstanding. They attracted the attention of many people as soon as they entered the banquet hall.
"Is that Gu Xiyan?"
"It's her. She's more beautiful than what we saw on TV."
"I went to see the concert she held in Pingcheng a few days ago. She is truly the most talented female pianist. She is the pride of our Pingcheng."
Several ladies sat together, holding wine glasses, staring at Gu Xiyan and Jiang Mochen with careful eyes.
A noble lady said with envy: "Not only is she excellent, but she also has good taste. The boyfriend she has chosen is even better. Mr. Jiang is not only from a good background, he is also a talented student who graduated from a prestigious university. He has already managed the family business well at a young age."
Things are booming."
"He's so handsome, haha. If I were ten years younger, I might actually be able to grab it."
The noble lady on the side teased, "You have to outdo Gu Xiyan. You are such a tough guy, you really can't catch Mr. Jiang's eyes."
The lady snorted softly, feeling annoyed at the ridicule of her companion.
"So what if I'm a little fatter? Dong Xiangwan isn't thin either. Didn't she find a handsome husband? Huh, as long as you have money in your hand, there will be plenty of pretty boys coming to your door voluntarily."
As we chatted here, things changed.
Mo Xiaoxuan sat obediently next to Gu Tingjun and Zhou Yao, her eyes falling on Gu Xiyan enviously.
She secretly sighed in her heart, Gu Xiyan was the focus of praise wherever she went.
Mo Xiaoxuan's heart was agitated. She really wanted to be a woman like Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan held Jiang Mochen's arm and walked slowly over under the attention of everyone.
"Master Jiang, long time no see." When people with business dealings saw Jiang Mochen's arrival, they greeted him with smiles on their faces.
"Is this Miss Gu? Wow, I'm more beautiful in person than on TV. Mr. Jiang is so lucky."
"Boss Chu is so lucky to have both children."
Jiang Mochen and Boss Chu started to compliment each other in business.
At this time, tonight's protagonist Dong Xiangwan stepped onto the stage.
She was wearing a black evening dress, with a plump figure and a wheat-colored complexion. Although her round face was not the standard for beauty, she had a more capable temperament.
Standing next to Dong Xiangwan was a young man wearing a black suit. The man was tall and handsome. This man was Dong Xiangwan's husband Shen Bo.
Shen Bo is an actor. It is said that Shen Bo and Dong Xiangwan met at a business dinner the year before last. The two had a good impression of each other at the time, and then exchanged contact information. Since then, Shen Bo has developed an interest in Dong Xiangwan. A fierce pursuit.
Under Shen Bo's various gentle offensives, the strong woman Dong Xiangwan was finally moved and held a grand wedding in Bali last May.
Since then, Shen Bo, who was never popular, rarely filmed, and An Xin became Dong Xiangwan's little wolf dog.
Some people ridiculed him for being a pretty boy, while others said he was very scheming.
Dong Xiangwan is neither beautiful nor feminine. She is strong-willed and resolute. This kind of strong woman is something that many men avoid. When Shen Bo married Dong Xiangwan, many people thought he was trying to steal Dong Xiangwan's identity. status.
"I welcome all distinguished guests to attend my birthday party despite your busy schedule..."
Dong Xiangwan held up the microphone and delivered his speech gracefully.

other side
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie stood at the gate of Haitang Pavilion, with several subordinates behind him.
On the red carpet, guests were walking in one after another.
The middle-aged man at the head looked forward to it eagerly.
"Butler Chen said that the new boss will come to inspect. It's already half past seven, why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
"Mr. Hu, who is this Miss Gu? She even gave her a century-old brand like Haitang Pavilion."
Upon hearing the news about the change of ownership of Haitang Hall, the entire internal staff was shocked.
Although Ye's business territory is very large, Haitang Hotel is just one of its specialty hotels.
However, the historical background of Haitang Pavilion is unmatched by other projects. It can also be said to be a movable type signboard that represents the entire Pingcheng City.
It is really hard to understand that Ye Lao gave it to outsiders so casually.
Mr. Hu frowned and looked confused.
He learned through internal gossip that not only the Haitang Pavilion, but also the entire Guomao Building had been transferred to the name of Miss Gu.
Ye Lao's behavior is really puzzling.
Some people doubted whether this Miss Gu was Ye Lao's illegitimate daughter, but he thought this idea was nonsense.
He has worked in Ye's family for more than 20 years, and also stayed with Ye Lao for a few years, so he has a fairly good understanding of Ye Lao's personality.
Since Mrs. Ye's death, Mr. Ye has never had any gossip.
In Ye Lao's heart, his deceased wife is an existence that no one can replace.
Moreover, even if Ye Lao did have a mistress in private, given his deep love for his deceased wife, he would not have children with another woman.
At this moment, a taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
