Chapter 72: A Little Farce at the Table
Lan Yaoxia seemed to have a poor appetite today. After talking with Shen Shenghe, he was led by the housekeeper to a room that had been prepared to rest.
In a blink of an eye, it was already around eleven o'clock in the morning. Just when Lan Yaoxia was still immersed in her dreams, there was a crisp knock on the door.
It turned out that it was the servant of the Shen family who came to remind him that it was time for lunch, and conveyed Shen Shenghe's intention to invite him to have lunch.
So, Lan Yaoxia slowly stood up and left the room.
Led by the Shen family's servant, Lan Yaoxia came to the spacious and bright hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately felt many eyes focused on him. At this moment, the table was already full, but only the seat next to Shen Sheng was vacant.
At this moment, Shen Shenghe gently patted the chair beside him and greeted Lan Yaoxia with a smile: "Little Lan, come over here and sit down!"
Lan Yaoxia couldn't help feeling a little surprised when she heard Shen Shenghe calling her so affectionately.
Although he was a little confused, he nodded politely and sat in the highly anticipated seat next to Shen Shenghe.
After Lan Yaoxia sat down, Shen Shenghe began to introduce him with a smile on his face: "This is my son - Shen Yulin."
Lan Yaoxiazhi understood a lot of things after taking over the group. She usually showed a cold expression to other people, but she smiled more in front of Shen Shenghe.
At this moment, Lan Yaoxia smiled at Shen Yulin and said softly, "Hello, Uncle Shen."
Shen Yulin also responded with a smile, and said in a friendly tone: "My dear nephew, please don't be restrained."
Then, Shen Shenghe began to introduce the people around him one by one.
He first pointed to a young man and said, "This is my grandson, Shen Shuhao."
Lan Yaoxia and Shen Shuhao looked at each other and nodded politely, but there was not much conversation.
Then, Shen Shenghe continued to introduce: "This is my granddaughter Shen Feifei, and the one sitting next to her is also my granddaughter Shen Jie."
Facing the two girls, Lan Yaoxia remained humble and nodded to them to express his greetings.
However, apart from the above few people, Shen Shenghe did not introduce any other people present.
However, Shen Feifei always had a stern face, as if she was dissatisfied with everything around her.
This made Lan Yaoxia very confused, and she felt puzzled in her heart.
Until this moment, Shen Shenghe finally turned the topic back to Lan Yaoxia and introduced with a smile: "This child is Wen Da's grandson - Lan Yaoxia."
"He came to the capital this time to attend the Chamber of Commerce meeting."
After hearing this, everyone nodded, with a look of enlightenment on their faces.
In fact, some of these people might not even know who Lan Yaoxia’s grandfather is.
At this moment, Shen Yulin looked at Lan Yaoxia with surprise and said, "Oh? So you are Uncle Lan's grandson! Then your father is Lan Yonggui? Or Lan Yongliang?"
Lan Yaoxia's face was as calm as water, and she replied calmly, "My father is Lan Yonggui."
Shen Yulin nodded slightly, smiled and praised: "Yeah, not bad! He really looks very similar to your father."
However, at this moment, a burst of extremely harsh and unpleasant words suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Shen Feifei suddenly stand up and said in a firm and unceremonious tone: "Grandpa, I don't like this blind date at all, please ask him to leave here!"
As she spoke, Shen Feifei even glared at Lan Yaoxia fiercely.
Lan Yaoxia's anger was instantly ignited. She thought to herself, I just came here to attend a meeting, how did I become a blind date inexplicably?
However, he quickly suppressed his inner anger and returned to his cold and ruthless appearance.
Then he said to Shen Feifei in a stern voice: "Miss Shen, please respect yourself. I am a married man!"
Hearing Lan Yaoxia's words, Shen Feifei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then she turned her gaze to Shen Jie.
At this time, Shen Jie opened her arms, acting as if it had nothing to do with her, indicating that she knew nothing about it.
At this moment, the whole scene was extremely awkward, as if time had stopped.
When everyone's eyes met, Shen Shenghe's face was frighteningly gloomy. He stared at Shen Feifei closely and said in an almost indifferent tone: "Get out!"
This sudden rebuke woke Shen Feifei up from her dream, and she finally realized what an ugly mistake she had made today.
She opened her mouth and wanted to explain something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only utter a few words with difficulty: "Grandpa... I..."
However, Shen Shenghe did not give her more opportunities to speak. His tone became more severe, with unquestionable majesty: "Get out now!"
Shen Feifei's face instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head, full of shame and regret, and left the table silently.
The atmosphere of the banquet became solemn because of this accident, and the originally lively atmosphere disappeared without a trace.
People were talking to each other, whispering, which made Shen Feifei feel even more depressed. Before long, the banquet was hastily ended.
After returning to the room, Shen Feifei felt extremely lost. She sat blankly on the edge of the bed as if she had lost her soul.
On the other side, Lan Yaoxia quickly changed into a neat suit and carefully tidied up his appearance.
Soon, he boarded the vehicle specially arranged by the Shen family and sped towards the meeting place.
The venue of the meeting is the Standing Committee of Diplomatic Affairs Building, which, in addition to receiving foreign envoys, is also often used as a venue for emergency meetings of the country.
The venue of the conference is solemn and the decoration style is elegant and grand.
The overall tone of the venue is mainly calm dark colors, combined with bright lights, creating a solemn yet vibrant atmosphere.
The ceiling of the hall is high and spacious, with a gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging above it. The light shines on the ground, reflecting a dazzling glow.
The walls are decorated with huge paintings, which not only showcase the country's history and culture, but also add an artistic atmosphere to the entire space.
The venue was neatly arranged with tables and chairs, and the seats were spacious and comfortable to ensure that participants could focus on the progress of the meeting. Behind the conference rostrum, the national flag and national emblem were placed, symbolizing the dignity and authority of the country.
The layout of the rostrum is simple and solemn, and the podium is equipped with advanced audio and lighting equipment to enable the speaker to convey his message clearly.
In addition, some green plants are arranged in the conference room, adding some vitality and natural atmosphere to the entire space.
