At the end of January, less than ten days before the New Year, Luo Nianzhong was invited to the Peninsula Hotel.

Today is the day when HSBC holds a charity dinner. For Shen Bi's personal invitation, Luo Nianzhong still has to give it face.

When he slowly arrived at the hotel by car, he found that the security here was extremely tight today. However, it is understandable. The top businessmen in Hong Kong Island are gathered here today. If something unexpected happens, HSBC will lose face.

The party started at eight o'clock, and Luo Nianzhong came just after 7: because he had just the right time. After getting off the car, Mi Gao was standing at the door to welcome the guests.

"Hey, the doorman is very energetic today? How much does it cost per month? If the salary is suitable, how about I hire you to work as a doorman in my company?"

As soon as he came closer, Luo Nianzhong started teasing Mi Gao. This made Mi Gao, who had taken two steps to give Luo Nianzhong a hug, changed from opening his arms to rolling.

"You kid, you can't communicate normally, can you? How about I tell my dad and you don't want to visit him anymore?"

Luo Nianzhong's original request to meet Lao Kadoorie through Mi Gao's mouth had already received Mi Gao's reply.

However, Lao Kadoorie was not in Hong Kong at that time, so he conveyed this message to Luo Nianzhong through Michael, and he was always welcome to visit him when he came back.

"What, threatening me? Believe it or not, I saw your father and taught him how to raise his son. You are already a grown man, so what's the point of guarding the family business? As a good brother, I will tell you my successful experience. Dad, I feel it is my duty to do so."

Luo Nianzhong's words made Mi Gao shudder. The recent incident of Huo Zhenhuan chasing Luo Nianzhong in the circle can be said to be a topic among the top second-generation circles in Hong Kong Island recently.

He made several appointments with Luo Nianzhong, but Luo Nianzhong always excused himself because of important matters. Later, he asked someone else to make an appointment, but Luo Nianzhong didn't go either.

Finally, Huo Zhenhuan said that whoever could get Luo Nianzhong to come out, he would get a 100 million card from Royal Rich. This temptation is not small. Luo Nianzhong doesn't know whether others are attracted by it, but Li Jiandong is.

For this guy who grew up with a naked butt, Luo Nianzhong knew what he was doing as soon as he stuck his butt out, and he only learned this news from Li Jiandong.

As Huo Zhenhuan's good brother, Luo Nianzhong could see him being so prodigal after learning this news? I told Huo Daheng the matter and my own opinions that day.

One million, what can I do? The Huo family has strict upbringing, shouldn't Huo Zhenting have this million under normal circumstances? Of course, that's what he said. As for what Huo Daheng thinks, it's not Luo Nianzhong's business.

The consequences can be imagined. As soon as Huo Zhenhuan came home from work that day, he was not even allowed to eat, so Huo Daheng resorted to the Huo family method passed down from the Luo family.

Thinking of how Huo Zhenhuan's legs were trembling in those days, Mi Gao gave Luo Nianzhong a hard look, lowered his head and said through gritted teeth.

"Master Luo, you don't remember the faults of villains, please come in quickly."

"kindness". Satisfied, Luo Nianzhong laughed and walked in. When he left, he said humbly, "Not bad, let's take a look."

That look, in Mi Gao's eyes, looked so mean, and he wished that the other party could transform into Chang Wei and let him beat him up.

Feeling comfortable, Luo Nianzhong came to the banquet hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure that he didn't want to face.

He saw Huo Zhenhuan, standing at the door of the hall, glaring at Luo Nianzhong with a fierce look on his face. Luo Nianzhong was so thick-skinned that his awkward expression flashed away and he greeted him warmly.

"Brother Huo, I'm so happy to see you. You asked me several times, but I couldn't go due to official business. I'm really sorry. How are you doing lately? I heard that Uncle Huo has heard some people's slanders and misunderstood you recently. Looking back I advised him."

Huo Zhenhuan didn't expect him to be so shameless. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and soon remembered his purpose today.

"Thank you." Huo Zhenting gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Nianzhong with a fierce look on his face. "Don't you have something to do and can't see me? Boy, let me see where you are going this time?"

"What did you say? Why did I see you running away? It's too late to miss you." Luo Nianzhong acted very confused, a perfect actor-level performance.

"Humph" Huo Zhenhuan snorted coldly, put up his arm and walked out, wanting to find a place where no one was around to communicate his feelings.

Just when Luo Nianzhong thought he was doomed, a figure made his eyes light up: "Uncle Huo, I didn't expect you to come too."

This surprise was real. Everyone knew that Huo Daheng had a bad relationship with the Hong Kong government, so he rarely attended such occasions. He sent his son to attend half of the time. Luo Nianzhong didn't expect him to come today.

Huo Daheng, who heard the sound, turned around and looked over. When he saw it was Luo Nianzhong, and his son was chatting with him next to him, he walked over.

"Ah Zhong, when did you come here?" he said hello. Seeing Huo Zhenhuan's appearance, he scolded, "What are you doing? What's going on?"

Huo Zhenhuan felt aggrieved and could only let go of Luo Nianzhong, saying in his heart: Let you go first, there are many opportunities today.

Unexpectedly, Luo Nianzhong's next words didn't give him a chance at all.

"I just came here, but Brother Huo saw me and said it was boring here, so he insisted on dragging me out to play."

Huo Daheng's face immediately dropped, "Do you think everyone is as ignorant as you? Ah Zhong is now a Chinese business leader, and you are doing nothing every day? How will you deal with you when I go back? Do you dare to leave tonight? If I take even half a step, I will break your legs."

"No, Daddy".

Huo Zhenhuan wanted to explain, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Luo Nianzhong. "Uncle Huo, don't blame Brother Huo. He said this because he was afraid that I would not be used to such occasions."

"Hmph, you don't have to intercede for him, I don't know what he looks like yet." After saying that, he looked at Huo Zhenhuan, "Shut your mouth tonight, learn more and watch more. If you dare to leave me even half a step, try it."

Just like that, Luo Nianzhong left under Huo Zhenhuan's eyes. As I walked, I sighed, "As expected of a wealthy family, the upbringing is really strict."

At the first few tables, the charter king, Sha Dantong, and the heads of the four major foreign companies were all here. Luo Nianzhong also saw his big brother Luo Yingshi.

It can also be seen from here how high HSBC’s status is on Hong Kong Island.

Instead of going to the front row, where the focus of the whole process was concentrated, Luo Nianzhong randomly found a table at Zheng Jiachun's table and sat down.

Seeing Luo Nianzhong coming over, Zheng Jiachun asked him, "Azhong, with your current status, is it inappropriate to sit here with us?"

"Is there anything inappropriate? Are names written on each table and who is asked to sit where?"

Luo Nianzhong's words left Zheng Jiachun speechless. It was true that there was nothing written on the table, and the guests could sit wherever they wanted. But there is a tacit understanding in such situations. If you, a billionaire, insist on sitting at the billion-level table, you will be the only one who is embarrassed in the end.

The same goes for the opposite. Luo Nianzhong didn't care anymore, but from the moment Luo Nianzhong sat at their table, everyone in the room who knew Luo Nianzhong glanced at him vaguely. This made Zheng Jiachun and the others feel uncomfortable, as if they had become a pile of cow dung, setting off the flower in Luo Nianzhong.

Still trying to persuade him, the host on stage interrupted him.

At eight o'clock, the dinner officially started.

After the host made a brief opening remarks, Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC, came on stage and began today's speech. He was nothing more than promoting the environment of some people in need and thanking the guests who came to support us tonight. To express gratitude to everyone for supporting HSBC's charity, the official start of the charity auction was then announced.

Luo Nianzhong picked up the brochure on the table and flipped through it casually. To be honest, Luo Nianzhong really didn't understand these antique jewelry.

The first auction item was contributed by Sha Dantong, a necklace inlaid with top-quality pink diamonds, with a starting price of HK$10.

Seeing this necklace, Luo Nianzhong elbowed Zheng Jiachun beside him, "Isn't Uncle Zheng too stingy? Your family also has a lot of good things. If you insist on bringing out such a necklace, you won't be giving Is your jewelry business advertising?"

Zheng Jiachun glared at him and turned his head away, as if he didn't want to talk to him. Everyone knows this very well, and those who can maximize their interests will not hold back their efforts.

You can’t lose money by doing charity, right? Do you think capitalists are so kind?

In history, there were people here who contributed a house in a high-end community developed by their company. It's enough for everyone to see through it without speaking out. How can anyone like Luo Nianzhong expose the truth to his face?

The lots were auctioned off one by one. Luo Nianzhong observed that anyone with a good reputation would take action once. These people seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, and they did not see the price hikes often written in novels.

However, just because there is no competition does not mean that the pick-up will take advantage. Each of their initial quotations is basically higher than the price of the item itself.

Luo Nianzhong also contributed his part. At the end of the auction, he spent 85 Hong Kong dollars on a Breguet pocket watch made more than 50 years ago.

This made some people who didn't know him turn their attention to him and ask their friends about his background.
