Chapter 133 Banquet
Campbell's heart gradually calmed down until an hour later. Because the figure disappeared. The figure disappeared, but the shadow in Campbell's heart could not disappear. This was simply a nightmare for him. He even wanted to pick up his phone and call someone, but he finally let it go.
He didn't dare to disturb him easily, and now everything seems to be harmful to him. So he decided to take a look again to see if such a shadow will appear later.
Two days later, night has not yet arrived. It takes about two hours to drive north from New York to San Simeon. This is an area on the Pacific Coast. It is a beautiful scenery and is a place where many people and wealthy New York live. Jia Huan's car surrounds the mountain road and goes up.
About five miles later, you can see a manor, which is a large, typical Spanish-style manor, with a classical architectural style. However, it is a modern facility, making it very comfortable and worry-free for those who live in it.
The electric door slowly opened, and at this time, many cars were already parked in an exclusive parking lot in the manor. The area of this parking lot could almost accommodate hundreds of cars. Luxury cars and sports cars drove into the manor one after another. Under the guidance of specialized personnel, they parked the car and were then led into the manor's lounge.
"God, I can't believe that we would come to such a place, which is simply something I can't imagine. It's too big. How big is it? Five hundred acres? Or one thousand acres? God... This is simply a palace-like enjoyment..." When Carlos and Jia Huan arrived with him, they were stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Who knows. The cost here is definitely not expensive." Jia Huan poked his head. Because the car was stopped at the gate, a man in uniform came over, wearing white gloves, and circled Jia Huan's fingers, meaning that Jia Huan lowered the window of the car.
"Hey, we were invited." Carlos quickly lowered the window and said to the waiter, "We know where this place is, and I won't go around."
"We need an invitation card!" The waiter looked at Jia Huan, "If so, we will let you go."
Jia Huan nodded, took out his business card and said, "I was indeed invited. This is Mr. Neil Starr's business card. I think this can be used as an invitation card, right?"
The waiter took it, looked carefully, nodded, and made a release gesture. Then the car drove into the gate of the manor. Another waiter directed Jia Huan to park the car inside the door. There were luxury cars behind him one after another, and Jia Huan's car was parked among the luxury cars, which seemed particularly abrupt.
"I like this feeling!" Carlos looked at Jia Huan's used old car, and then smiled at him, "This feeling is very special, we are the most special one."
"I like your mentality, it's very good, Carlos, keep it up." Jia Huan patted his shoulder, and then headed towards the lounge under the guidance of the waiter.
Even if it is just a lounge, it is magnificent.
All kinds of precious decorations, crystal glass lamps with unique shapes, various sculptures, and several famous paintings all show the owner's noble taste. However, the people here seem indifferent. The look of turning a blind eye is obvious, they are either commonplace or pretend to be careless.
The lounge was large and the waiter brought coffee and drinks.
As more and more people became more and more lively, some people gathered together in groups, whispering something in a low voice, smiling and polite, and women were even more elegant and generous, either leaning over and whispering to their ears with their male companions or female friends they knew.
Jia Huan and Carlos were wearing very ordinary suits and suddenly appeared among these people wearing elegant and beautiful dresses, which seemed very abrupt, and as a result, they attracted the attention of many people.
These eyes contain various emotions, whether it is sarcasm, sympathy, or indifference, which cannot affect Jia Huan and Carlos. I have to say that Carlos has a very good mentality. He is a rare good man.
"I like the pine nuts here, it tastes great. I guess the chef must have been invited here." Carlos put a piece of snack into his mouth, and finally licked his fingers, saying happily to Jia Huan, "It's like a dream. To be honest, if the president met me, I wouldn't be so excited."
"The excitement is still behind, man!" Jia Huan patted his arm and said hilariously.
While the two were talking, a man who looked like a housekeeper appeared in the lounge, bowed slightly to everyone, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me."
So everyone followed the old housekeeper toward the most core part of the manor and the banquet hall. From here, there were still hundreds of meters away from the banquet hall.
But no one spoke along the way. Carlos wanted to talk to Jia Huan, but he still held back. It was not until he reached the door of the banquet hall that he couldn't help but lowered his voice and said, "Hey, Huan, you haven't told me what we should do? God, I'm simply... we've never rehearsed, and I don't even know what you will perform later?"
"You can do whatever I ask you to do, just don't worry about anything else." Jia Huan reached out and patted his arm, "Don't worry, I'm ready."
After hearing Jia Huan say this, Carlos felt a little calmer.
When we arrived at the banquet hall, the huge hall and the huge dining table were long arranged in the hall. They sat down one after another according to the name, led by some waiters. There were about 200 people participating in the banquet in total.
Jia Huan and Carlos were arranged in a corner of the back row. However, they didn't care about these. They didn't see the faces of these people, and they had a big meal. Carlos was also very happy, without any negative emotions that were looked down upon. I have to say that this guy is a natural optimist.
After sitting down, at the front desk of the banquet hall, there was a huge stage layout, a speech podium and an electronic display screen, showing each wonderful set picture. It was all some scenery of the manor. In the corner next to the stage, there was a band, who played light music on the spot.
Before the banquet began, a man walked on the podium and walked on the side. As soon as he saw the person, almost everyone started to applaud. He was a man in his seventies and had a burly figure. If he hadn't his face, he might have been deceived by his body shape. He was indeed a very strong man.
"ladies and gentlemen!"
As soon as he spoke, he immediately made everyone turn around and face him with a focused expression. It is obvious that this person is very authoritative and makes everyone respect him very much.
"Don't be nervous... This is a very ordinary cocktail party. I just want to tell everyone that when I come here, I'll enjoy it. The banquet can begin. If I watch me affect my appetite on the stage, I'll go down first." After the old man said that, he waved his hand, smiled at everyone, waved his hand, and walked down. This immediately caused a burst of laughter, but they were all very restrained, and then turned around and prepared to have a meal.
The banquet officially began, and the serving was strictly arranged according to the process. After serving, everyone watched the old man sitting in the front and started to pick up the knife and fork, so everyone picked up the knife and fork and wanted to use today's dinner.
Dinner is not long, and it is not as complicated and complicated as a palace dinner. After eating, it is the dessert. After the dessert, someone took off the leftovers and started to arrange them again.
The guests all left the banquet hall with a butler, started to go to restaurants around them, and formed a small team in groups of three or five. Beth Perize and Neil Starr walked together, and they greeted every potential investor. But once the investment matter was involved, those people made excuses to leave.
"Hell-" Beth cursed himself in a little depressed manner.
"Hey, you-yes, it's you, I know you." When Beth was frustrated, he suddenly heard a surprise voice coming from behind her. When she turned her head, she saw someone waving at her, looking very excited, and she looked ordinary in clothes. There was nothing particularly impressive about it.
