"General Manager, this is a bit too much. Ten boxes of wine won't cost that much." Chen Yang was very honest.

"The extra money is my reward for your hard work." Kong Lingwei patted Zhou Xuan's hand and asked casually, "Does Boss Chen have time tonight?"

"I am holding a party at Jiang Mansion on Qingyang Road, and I have invited some celebrities from the political and business circles. If Boss Chen has time, you can come along..."

"I am honored by the general manager's cordial invitation."

"That's good," Kong Lingwei waved his hand, and Vulture beside him quickly took out the invitation he had prepared long ago and handed it over respectfully.

Chen Yang took the invitation with both hands and said thank you.

Kong Lingwei put down his wine glass and said, "I won't waste Boss Chen's time. See you tonight."

After saying that, Kong Lingwei pulled Zhou Xuan up and walked out.

After watching Kong Lingwei leave, Chen Yang returned to the office and looked at the gold-embossed invitation with a puzzled look.

Kong Lingwei has always been a man who would not give up anything without a treasure. He went to great lengths to find Chen Yang. If he really wanted to simply invite him to the party, Chen Yang would never believe it.

After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that she knew about the materials that she was going to trade.

Chen Yang was very confused. How could Kong Lingwei know about his deal with Yoshikawa?

In fact, Kong Lingwei is not as powerful as Chen Yang thought.

It’s just that Yoshikawa’s social circle is too small.

Kong Lingwei simply checked who Yoshikawa had met recently and easily found Chen Yang.

As for why Yoshikawa chose to trade with Chen Yang, she couldn't figure it out.

After all, Yoshikawa Masao gives everyone the impression of being an old-fashioned person who is incorrigible...

Moreover, even if Chen Yang was not there, given Kong Lingwei's identity, Yoshikawa Masao would never consider partnering with her.

After all, this person is too conspicuous. Yoshikawa Masao would not look for such a high-profile guy...

night,

Chen Yang took a rickshaw to Jiang Mansion on Qingyang Road.

The predecessor of Jiang Mansion was Shen Garden of Shen Xinian, the salt transport envoy of Lianghuai.

The salt transport between the two rivers is one of the most lucrative jobs in the world.

Shen Xinian served as the Salt Transport Commissioner and embezzled a huge amount of silver, amounting to six million taels.

As the saying goes, three years as an honest magistrate earns you 100,000 silver coins.

This salt transport envoy makes much more money than the prefect.

After Shen Xinian fell from power, Shen Garden was taken over by the then businessman Lin Ruopu. After several generations, it was finally bought by Shanghai tycoon Jiang Qingyan and turned into the Jiang Mansion today...

He handed the invitation to the guard at the door, and the guard immediately respectfully invited Chen Yang in.

The scale of Jiang Mansion is comparable to the manor where the French held the dinner before.

It covers an area of ​​about five or six acres, more than three thousand and nearly four thousand square meters.

There is a garden in front of the door, and a villa of more than 1,000 square meters stands behind the garden...

Led by the waiter, Chen Yang walked through the long garden alley and came to the front of the villa.

At this time, the cocktail party has already begun.

Those so-called celebrities from the political and business circles gathered in groups of three or five, discussing something.

As the initiator of the banquet, Kong Lingwei walked among the crowd with his female companion, chatting and laughing, with a hint of guidance...

Most of the guests at the banquet were either rich or noble. Chen Yang, a young man who had just entered the Shanghai business world for less than half a year, really had little interaction with them.

If he didn't want to see what Kong Lingwei was up to, this kind of gathering would really be meaningless to him.

Chen Yang picked up a glass of champagne and walked to an empty corner to drink by himself.

I had just taken two sips when suddenly, a warm voice sounded behind me.

"Boss Chen, when did you come? You actually found such a good place."

Chen Yang turned around and saw Kong Lingwei holding Zhou Xuan's arm and looking at him kindly.

Chen Yang quickly explained: "The general manager is very busy, I dare not bother him, just take care of yourself."

Kong Lingwei pretended to be angry and said, "Oh, Boss Chen is blaming me for not treating you well enough..."

Chen Yang waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "I dare not, I am just a newcomer. I have only been to such occasions a few times. I really don't have many friends to talk to."

Kong Lingwei said with a smile: "Boss Chen, you are joking. I wonder how many people would want to be friends with a young talent like you."

"Besides, you need to make friends. How can you make friends if you stay alone in a corner and shut everyone out?"

"Come on, let me introduce you to some friends."

As he spoke, Kong Lingwei pulled Chen Yang into the crowd.

When those wealthy businessmen and political celebrities suddenly saw that Kong Lingwei was so enthusiastic about a handsome young man, they all became interested in him.

"This is the boss of Guohua Pictures, Mr. Lin Guohua, who is also Miss Zhou Xuan's boss." Kong Lingwei kept his word. He pulled Chen Yang up and introduced him to the guests present.

"This is the boss of Hualong Industrial, Gao Shihong..."

"This is the boss of Baole Entertainment Company, Qian Baole..."

"This is Mr. Zhu from Daxingchang."

"This is the owner of Wing On Department Store..."

“…”

After a round of introductions, Chen Yang had a lot more business cards in his hands.

In this kind of scene, the fancy sedan is carried by everyone, and everyone has to give face to the person introduced by Kong Lingwei.

Kong Lingwei smiled and asked everyone to take good care of Chen Yang, then turned around and took Zhou Xuan to greet some foreigners.

After what Kong Lingwei did, Chen Yang felt too embarrassed to hide in the corner and drink.

After chatting with everyone for a few words, Kong Lingwei's bodyguard Vulture suddenly came over and politely invited everyone to go upstairs.

Chen Yang originally wanted to go aside, but unexpectedly, Vulture said that Kong Lingwei also invited Chen Yang...

This move made everyone present think about it...

Through the conversation just now, everyone knew that Chen Yang was just the owner of a small business.

In the foreign land of Shanghai, a brick falling from this kind of boss would kill two or three people. How can he be on equal footing with them?

Although they didn't understand, no one dared to question Kong Lingwei's decision, and they all went to the reception room on the second floor with courtesy.

Arriving at the second floor, Chen Yang tactfully found a seat near the railing. This position was not very conspicuous, and being close to the railing, he could just see the stage performance below on the first floor.

Until now, Chen Yang still thinks that this kind of gathering seems to have little to do with a small person like him...

After all, the people present here are either the big boss of Wing On Department Store or the chairman of Hualong Industrial.

They are all top celebrities with a lot of money. Compared with them, Chen Yang's Chenji Commercial Bank is not even worthy of carrying shoes...

Besides, Chen Yang just wanted to make a fortune quietly from the beginning to the end, and he didn't want to do anything that would make him show off.

Dengdeng, Dengdeng, a sound of footsteps was heard.

Kong Lingwei took Zhou Xuan's arm and came to the reception room, sitting at the head seat as usual.

But the first thing she said when she sat down scared Chen Yang.
