The engagement banquet was held at the Imperial Hotel, which is said to be the most exclusive five-star hotel in Licheng.
It would cost a lot to hold a banquet there. Ordinary wealthy people would probably feel pressured. But for the Su family, it was not a problem at all. If they chose another place, it would actually look shabby.
The start time of the engagement party is five o'clock in the afternoon. If we go there now, we will definitely make it in time. Even if the city center is prone to traffic jams, we can still make it.
However, Ye Xingyu still overestimated the traffic conditions out of the city. He thought he could arrive before 4:30, but when he arrived at his destination, he looked at the time and saw that it was already 4:50.
Fortunately, he was not late. Ye Xingyu parked the car and took the elevator straight to the top floor.
The Imperial Hotel is not too tall, but not short either. It has a total of thirty-six floors. It is located in a prosperous area of the city center and is considered one of the landmark buildings in Licheng.
In addition to the splendid lobby on the first floor and hundreds of luxurious guest rooms, there are also various restaurants, leisure bars, conference rooms, banquet halls, fitness centers, swimming pools, spas, etc., which can meet business, conference, food, leisure and entertainment, etc.
It is a relatively ideal choice for all-round urban needs, whether it is holding wedding banquets, celebrations, theme parties, private dinners, and various large-scale social events.
The top floor of the hotel is a multi-functional hall that overlooks the beautiful scenery of the city. It all uses transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows, allowing you to enjoy the view while gathering, which is pleasing to the eye.
Today, this top-floor hall was booked by Su Junzhe as the venue for this engagement banquet.
When he arrived at the venue, Ye Xingyu looked around and saw that there were not many guests, and it was far from the grand and lively place he had imagined.
There are many tables around, with all kinds of drinks, food and snacks on them. If you want to taste them, you can take them yourself. It looks more like a Western-style buffet, very casual.
Because there are not many people, every guest who enters will attract more or less attention.
Especially Su Junzhe and Wu Chujun, who were the hosts of the banquet, would stare at the door from time to time. When they saw Ye Xingyu appear, they would take the initiative to greet him and speak warmly and politely.
Su Junzhe's dress is not much different from usual, wearing a light-colored casual suit and gold-rimmed glasses on his face. There is no obvious difference, but his mood is very high, full of energy, and he is smiling.
Wu Chujun's overall style has changed a lot. The makeup on her face is no longer strong, but more refined. Her clothes are not as sexy as usual. They are more formal and restrained. She no longer exposes her long legs, which makes her a little less charming.
Sexy, a little more dignified and steady.
Ye Xingyu took out the gift he had prepared, handed it to Su Junzhe's hand, and said a few words of blessing.
Mandarin ducks match the occasion, which fits the theme of the engagement party very well. Even though this gift is not expensive, it is very pleasing and makes the newlyweds thank you repeatedly.
When Su Junzhe heard that it contained fine wine, he couldn't wait to taste it, but Wu Chujun tried to dissuade him, fearing that he would not be able to stop drinking.
On today's occasion, Su Junzhe, as the leading actor, of course could not get drunk too quickly, so he followed the advice, refrained from drinking, and carefully put away the two mandarin duck flasks.
Before coming, Ye Xingyu thought he would meet Zhang Xinyu and Yan Xiaoxi. After all, they had a close relationship with Wu Chujun and were like best friends. Unexpectedly, he didn't see anyone, so he asked casually.
Wu Chujun explained that her two little sisters did not like gatherings with elders present. They were restrained and had no fun, so she did not invite them and planned to meet again in private.
Speaking of elders, an older couple walked over with smiles on their faces, and Su Junzhe took the opportunity to introduce them.
These two are the parents of the prospective groom, Su Yuan, the head of the Su family, and his wife Gong.
Su Yuan's face has many similarities with Su Junzhe, but he is slightly shorter, stout and slightly fatter.
He had long heard his son mention Ye Xingyu, so he wanted to take this opportunity to come over and show his face, get to know this "child of the Ye family", and hope to build a good relationship with the Bashan Ye family.
Originally, the Su Yuan couple stayed with Su Shang, but Su Shang was angry that Ye Xingyu had injured his precious son, so he did not want to come over to meet him, and was even quite dissatisfied with the Su Yuan couple's enthusiasm.
Su Shang's temper is more stubborn, a bit similar to Su Guang? Although he does not dare to offend the Bashan Ye clan, he is also unwilling to chat and laugh with Ye Xingyu.
Of course, Ye Xingyu didn't notice Su Shang and didn't know Su Guang?'s father. He casually chatted with Su Yuan and his wife for a while, exchanging polite greetings and business compliments until other guests came in.
Four people walked into the banquet hall one after another, including men, women and children, a bald old man, a charming and beautiful woman, a young man, and a tall and thin man.
Su Yuan said "Excuse me" and took his wife to greet the few who had just entered the door, complaining: "Brother, why did you come just now?"
Su Junzhe lowered his voice, quickly introduced the identity of the visitor to Ye Xingyu, and said: "Brother Ye, please feel free to do so. Chu Jun and I will go over and greet the uncle."
After saying that, he also followed with his fiancée.
It turned out that the balding old man walking in the front was none other than Su You, the eldest of the three Su brothers. He was short and fat, with gray hair and a big belly, but he always had a smiling expression on his face, just like Maitreya.
The woman holding Su You's arm is probably in her early thirties, wearing heavy makeup, and her appearance is not weak. She is Su You's current mistress, and her name is Gong Lina.
The young man following closely behind him was Su Xiuming, Su You's eldest son and Su Junzhe's cousin. His face was a little pale and his steps were a little frivolous, as if he had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.
Walking at the end was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, tall and thin, expressionless, wearing ordinary casual clothes and sneakers, he didn't look like a businessman.
Su Junzhe had never seen this person before, so he did not introduce him. He was probably a guest invited by Su You.
"Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam!" Su You explained with a smile, and introduced to Su Yuan and others: "This Mr. Wu is a friend of mine, and it happened to be a meeting, so I brought him here with me.
Junzhe and Chu Jun congratulate."
The "Mr. Wu" he refers to, of course, refers to the tall, thin man who seems to be an ordinary man, but neither Su Yuan nor Su Junzhe know this person.
However, Su You's introduction was a bit perfunctory. Not only did he not mention the identity of the other party, he even couldn't tell his full name. This made others mistakenly think that this was an insignificant guest, so they did not pay much attention to him.
However, from the moment they entered the door, Ye Xingyu's eyes had been fixed on Mr. Wu, but he ignored Su You and his son and Gong Lina.
