Chapter 208 Entering the Banquet
Chapter 208 Entering the Banquet
At seven o'clock in the evening, the lights in the banquet hall were bright, beauties were chatting and laughing, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine.
The guests, some in suits and ties, some in jewels, walked around the world of fame and fortune where wine flowed and food flowed.
The Jinwan G-level officials who had been acting unrestrained in the private room before were now completely different people. They were all dressed in serious and conservative suits and formalities in their every move.
Yan Meiting's acting skills are even more superb. Occasionally, when someone comes forward to toast her, she only responds with boiled water, and pretends to be approachable and says that she can't drink.
Yao Ge sat in an exclusive private room with a giant surveillance screen behind her. Every word and action of everyone in the banquet hall was under her control.
"Has Father Luo arrived?"
She held a bottle of champagne in her hand and scanned every detail on the screen with a hint of enjoyment.
The special assistant beside him immediately took out his phone and said, "Father Luo arrived at the hotel half an hour ago. His assistant said that the priest had a believers' meeting before the banquet and might be half an hour late."
Holding a believers' meeting in a hotel?
It is really a guidance by action.
Yao Ge scoffed and shook the champagne in his hand, "Where's the one from the Bai family?"
Special Assistant, "That gentleman is also ready and will be there on time."
Yao Ge paused, the light in his eyes dimming. "Where's that bastard? Where is he?"
The special assistant's expression was a little subtle. "I called Master A Ling five minutes ago to confirm. He should be here soon."
Hearing this, Yao Ge glanced at the special assistant with a hint of deep meaning, "Are you all ready?"
"We're ready." The special assistant hesitated. "Madam, Master A Ling represents the reputation of the Shen family. If the master and the old man knew about this, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?!" Yao Ge's expression changed instantly, his fingertips tightly gripping the glass in his hand. "As long as it can help Shen Qian gain support in Jinwan, do you think he would care about the life and death of a bastard? As for the old man, he can cover the sky with one hand in Country A, but outside of Country A, his words don't count."
The special assistant looked at Yao Ge's face which became distorted in a second and did not dare to question it anymore.
Yao Ge said in a bad tone, "That bastard is not that easy to fool. You better be smart and don't make any mistakes when the time comes."
The special assistant nodded, "Yes, ma'am."
Yao Ge closed his eyes, took a long breath, and suddenly put on an elegant smile again, "Let's go, it's time to go out and entertain the guests."
“…” The special assistant lowered his head and followed silently.

"That's it?"
Jiang Huashan was wearing a simple white dress and standing at the door of the banquet hall, looking around. She had deliberately not put on makeup because of the injury on her forehead. Fortunately, her face was rich and beautiful, so she could hold up the dress even without makeup.
Shen Guiling handed over the invitation and looked at her sideways, "Come here first, we'll go in together."
The young man was wearing a well-tailored suit with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Even his back made the guests waiting to enter the hall stop and look back.
Jiang Huashan walked obediently to Shen Guiling. She had just observed carefully and found that the security here was much higher than that of the banquets she had attended before. From the eyes and momentum of the security personnel on the scene, Jiang Huashan inferred that they should not be hotel security guards, but professional bodyguards.
"I'm sorry, VIP, you only have one invitation. According to the rules, only you can enter."
The beautiful lady in charge of reception repeatedly confirmed Shen Guiling's identity and directly stopped Jiang Huashan and Lei Xing.
Without waiting for Shen Guiling to speak, Jiang Huashan took the initiative and said, "Shen Guiling, how about this? Give me your invitation and let me go in first. Your stepmother must be looking for trouble and will not let you have a good time outside."
Shen Guiling pretended not to hear and turned to look at Lei Xing. Lei Xing understood and turned to the corner to make a phone call.
Jiang Huashan slowly leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you tell your stepmother that I was coming?"
Shen Guiling felt her ears itchy and moved away slightly, just in time to see Yao Ge walking out of the banquet hall with a gloomy face.
He immediately smiled, lowered his head and whispered, "It's not too late to tell me now."
Yao Ge was the host of this banquet. Her appearance immediately caused a commotion. Seeing this, the beautiful receptionist hurried out from the reception area.
"lady."
Yao Ge glanced at Shen Guiling first, and when he turned to Jiang Huashan, the smile on his face was flawless, "Shanshan, why are you here?"
Three years was enough time to teach Yao Ge how to treat Jiang Huashan.
At the banquet that year, Jiang Huashan had a conflict with Xiao Lanlan, and the old man actually expelled his own daughter from Shen Garden. Even though the second wife later spoke well of Shen E, it was of no avail. Until now, Shen E is still a marginal figure in the Shen family and is not even qualified to join the family group.
Jiang Huashan put on a fake smile and asked, "Auntie doesn't welcome me?"
Yao Ge patted her shoulder gently, "Of course not. But the guests invited to the banquet tonight are all elders, I was worried that you would be bored."
Jiang Huashan said, "Aunt, you're worrying too much. If I were bored, I would definitely find something to do myself."
Yao Ge's mouth twitched as he whispered, "Shanshan, tonight's dinner is extremely important to your uncle, no! It's extremely important to the Shen family. Even if your aunt asks you for help, you must not act recklessly."
To say that she was making trouble was already being polite. For the past three years, Jiang Huashan would go crazy whenever she was unhappy, and would embarrass others anytime and anywhere. The Shen family was traumatized by her.
But the most evil thing is the old man, who is like a man blinded by greed and allows her to do whatever she wants.
"I understand, I understand." Jiang Huashan said in a pleasant manner, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Yao Ge was extremely worried, but the troublemaker was already at the door. If she wasn't allowed in, the situation might get even worse.
After careful consideration, Yao Ge smiled and took a wreath from the welcome flower basket and put it on her.
"Okay, go play."
"Thank you, auntie."
Yao Ge smiled, turned to look at Shen Guiling, and his expression became arrogant.
Shen Guiling was very obedient and stepped forward and nodded, "Madam."
Yao Ge nodded calmly, "You can go in too. Many of your father's old friends are here today. You should entertain them well on your father's behalf."
Shen Guiling nodded and walked into the banquet hall shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Huashan.
Yao Ge looked at Jiang Huashan's back, and a gloomy look appeared in his eyes.
"Ah'ran, send a few more people to watch her when she goes in. Also, prepare a separate portion of food for her. Make sure you watch her take it and don't make a mistake."
Mo Ran was slightly stunned. He had heard that the Shen family had a little ancestor. Although she was an adopted daughter, she had an extraordinary status in the family because she was loved by Mr. Shen. He must be the one just now.
"Yes, ma'am."
Yao Ge was still a little worried, and looked back into Mo Ran's eyes, "This little bastard must have brought Jiang Huashan here on purpose. Nothing can go wrong tonight, otherwise..."
Mo Ran shuddered with fear, "Yes, ma'am, please rest assured, everything has been arranged."
