At the birthday party, the guests who came and went raised their high-stemmed goblets filled with fragrance, and the chatter and laughter became more and more noisy as they toasted each other. After a while, everyone had a business card or two in their hands.

As the first shareholder of the World Bank, there are naturally many people who want to come to build relationships.

Small families dress up their daughters like the most beautiful roses among the flowers, with a deadly charm; big families bring gifts of money and exchange daily life.

Smiling and politely rejecting these dignitaries who wanted to talk to him, Shang Fang waved his hands gracefully, looking very gentle.

Holding his wife's hand, he frowned and walked through the crowd in front of him until he finally found his goal in the deepest part of the hall.

"Long time no see, Mr. Bertram Yale."

Yes, what appeared in front of him was Zhong Jiang's target this time - Bertram Yale!

He was not dressed as solemnly as other guests, but looked extraordinarily simple compared with others.He was wearing a simple light gray gown, with a gold-plated tulip medal pinned to his chest, and mysterious light golden patterns spread along the side of the gown.The lower body is still light gray, it seems that he is particularly fond of light gray.

He smiled, showing a kind smile. "Long time no see, Mr. Shangfang. It seems that half a month has passed since the last time we met. Your taste is indeed elegant. After such a long time, the tea fragrance from Yingbinlou is still fragrant in my mouth."

"As long as you like it, I specially prepared the top tea for you."

"Hahaha, you have a heart." Bertram Yale showed a satisfied smile on his face.

At this moment, Shang Fang noticed a young girl standing behind Bertram Yale, her eyes lit up suddenly.He slowly stretched out his hand and turned his attention to the girl, before he could speak.

Bertram Yale was the first to introduce:

"This is the protagonist of this banquet—Wilhelmina Yale, my granddaughter."

"Sure enough, it's a shameful flower in a closed moon, and the appearance of sinking fish and wild goose." Shang Fang was not stingy with his praise, and then he took out a gift wrapped in light yellow tulip cloth from behind, "Little gift, I hope you like it." .”

"Thank you, Uncle Shang." Seeing the gift from Shang Fang, the girl took it with a sweet smile, and looked at Bertram Yale with a questioning look.

The latter nodded.

Seeing Bertram Yale's reaction, Shang Fang was extremely satisfied.

He had known for a long time that the other party had a special liking for tulips, so he specially chose this piece of light yellow tulip cloth to wrap the gift. Many people at the banquet wanted to get in touch with each other by giving expensive gifts, and Bertram Yale's reaction was always flat. , only a little interested in my own gift.

"I'm also curious about what gift Mr. Shang sent, so you can open it and have a look for everyone to appreciate." Bertram Yale said.

With the permission of her parents, Wilhelmina Yale no longer held back, she carefully opened the cloth, revealing the deep black wooden box inside.There are two black wooden boxes about the size of palms, with no other decorations except for the hot gold pattern flowing around the edges.

Looking at it this way, it gives people a sense of simplicity, and it doesn't seem to come from the hands of the World Bank's largest shareholder.

But all the people present were very deep in the city, and no one laughed loudly without understanding, and all of them watched quietly with a smile on their faces.

As Wilhelmina Yale slowly opened the wooden box, the thin wooden box layer was lifted lightly, and with a "click", a faint mint fragrance with a refreshing smell filled the air in an instant.

Wilhelmina Yale couldn't help admiring: "It smells so good."

Can't wait to open the wooden box, as the layers of the deep black wooden box were opened, revealing the neatly arranged rose-red square cakes inside, holding the gift in her hands, her eyes were shining.

Gently handed it to Shang Fang with a rather proud expression.

"Uncle Shang, what is this pastry? Why does it taste so delicious? Why didn't I know there was such a good pastry before?"

"Hahaha, this is the secret."

Shang Fang laughed and laughed.

Looking at Wilhelmina Yale who couldn't wait to put the pastry in her mouth, he knew that his gift had undoubtedly won the favor of the other party.

Jewelry?
Send wealth?
Or send precious medicines and medicinal materials?
These are not enough to express my sincerity.

Whether it is jewelry, wealth, potions, or medicinal materials, the Yale family's rich financial resources can't buy anything. On the contrary, this kind of exquisitely decorated and delicious small pastry is undoubtedly an irresistible gift for girls.

There is no exaggerated decoration, and there is no need to boast about the superb craftsmanship that has been seen in life. When the pastry is put into the mouth, it exudes a soft and glutinous taste, and the just right sweetness is enough to refresh the taster.

Bertram Yale moved to the side, pointed to the empty space beside him with his palm, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shang really has a heart."

Needless to say, Shang Fang hastily stepped forward to fill the vacant seat, thanking him again and again:

"Where is it, as long as the eldest miss likes the small gift I prepared."

All the shrewd people present, seeing Bertram Yale deliberately vacating a seat for Shang Fang, all cast jealous eyes on him.If they don't realize this, they are really stupid.

Only a box of pastries can be exchanged for the goodwill of the elder of the Yale family. Although he can only stand with him, it is enough to explain some problems——

You know, many families don't even have the chance to talk to the Great Elder!
With such treatment, how can I not let others envy and hate.

Aware of the jealous eyes cast on him by the surroundings, although Shang Fang was unmoved on the surface and still smiled humbly, he was extremely proud in his heart.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Yale is preparing to build an orphanage recently. I wonder if I can help you a little bit?"

Just as Shang Fang was talking with Bertram Yale, a middle-aged man in a solemn suit suddenly appeared beside him.

He strode over, attracting both of them's attention.

Shang Fang asked suspiciously: "Are you still planning to open an orphanage?"

"Yes, I often see some homeless children begging in the area where the fifth citizen lives. I think if possible, it would be better to build a well-equipped orphanage to adopt them. Bertram Yale sighed, with a worried look on his face.

This immortal!

Shang Fang cursed secretly in his heart.

Turning his head to look at the middle-aged man who appeared suddenly, and then at Bertram Yale with a worried face, he couldn't guess which one he was playing.

It is precisely because I have never seen this middle-aged man——

He knows all the famous and powerful people in the field, so where did this guy come from?

The answer is obvious!
If this guy could really start an orphanage with all his heart, the sun could literally come out from the west!
However, although he was very disdainful in his heart, he still showed a moved expression on the surface.

Shang Fang quickly praised: "I didn't expect you to have such a moving idea, so why don't we hold a crowdfunding at the eldest lady's birthday party. I think everyone is also very willing to contribute to your good deeds." .”

No we didn't!

All the powerful people around expressed disgust at Shang Fang's flattery, but they had already entered the game and had to compromise.

"Yes, Mr. Yale, let's take advantage of this banquet to organize a crowdfunding."

"It's the eldest lady's birthday party first, and now we're holding crowdfunding for an orphanage. It's a double blessing."

"I think the citizens of the Fifth Civic District will be very happy to know about your kindness, Mr. Yale."

"Yeah yeah."

Facing the reunion of the crowd, Bertram Yale had a weird smile on his face, and he stroked his beard, looking a bit reluctant.

"In this case, let's hold a crowdfunding later as everyone wishes."

Seemingly unable to resist the requests of the guests, Bertram Yale agreed with some embarrassment.

While everyone was talking, Wilhelmina Yale, the protagonist of the birthday party, had long since disappeared, but no one noticed.

Perhaps, the birthday party was just a cover.

Or, Wilhelmina Yale is just a cover.

The bell in the hall rang on time, and the banquet will officially start soon.The guests chatting around the castle quickly realized this when they heard the voice, and no one wanted to miss the start of the birthday party, so they rushed over one after another.

banquet--

About to start!
