Chapter 159 A strange banquet
To be polite, Mei Ling'er still replied.
"Yeah, I'm eating."
Before she put down the phone, the other party sent another new message. Mei Ling'er threw the phone on the table, leaned back in her chair.
The cell phone lay alone on the table, with a "round-faced smiling" emoticon prominently displayed on the screen.
Well, this blind date actually sent an emoticon, and it was the emoticon she hated the most.
Mei Ling'er sighed deeply, sat up straight, continued to eat breakfast, and no longer paid attention to her blind date.
Egg fried rice, fried noodles, hot milk, grilled sausages, small egg tarts, and white fungus soup went into her stomach one by one, her stomach was gradually filled, and her mood gradually became happier.
"The breakfast in this hotel is really good. Ouyang Yu has good taste!" A man in a black polo shirt sat down next to Mei Ling'er.
"Yes, he has always had good taste. Just look at his wife's appearance and you will know that he has good taste. It's just that..." The woman in the black dress hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter? We are old classmates. What can't you say?" The man teased with a smile.
The woman smiled slightly, hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and leaned closer and said, "I just feel that he is a bit fake and a little vain."
After hearing what the woman said, the man stroked his chin with his hand and agreed, "That's true. I heard he even prepared a speech."
"Oh! What's the point of giving a speech about this? I think he's lost his mind..."
The man took a sip of the boiled water and didn't respond to the woman's question. Instead, he urged her, "Eat quickly. It's not good to be late."
Mei Ling'er didn't want to listen to gossip either, but they were talking too loudly and were very close to each other, so their conversation drifted into her ears.
"Disciple, do you want to watch the fun? Like the netizens in the live broadcast room, just be a spectator?"
Mei Ling'er, whose thoughts were guessed, tried to hide her embarrassment by giving the white-bearded old man a cold look and said unhappily, "You want to be Runtu yourself, but don't even try to get involved."
Seeing Mei Ling'er lose her temper, the old man with a white beard immediately apologized like a sycophant: "Yes, yes, yes, it's me who wants to see it, it's me who wants to see it. So, can you accompany me, an old man who wants to eat some melon, to take a look?"
The white-bearded old man's clear eyes revealed flattery, and Mei Ling'er was successfully amused by him.
Since the other party has given her a way out, she can't continue to be arrogant.
"Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look."
After Mei Ling'er finished her meal, she waited for a man and a woman next to her. Ten minutes later, the woman told the man that she was done eating. The two of them got up and left the restaurant. From the moment they stood up, Mei Ling'er followed them silently, which gave her a sense of excitement like being a detective.
After walking for a while and circling the hotel, the two finally slowed down.
What appeared before Mei Ling'er was a crowded sign-in area, accompanied by all kinds of noisy sounds.
In the center of the crowd sat a long table, where a middle-aged man, dressed in linen and with a white cloth on his head, sat. He was collecting money while writing down notes in a notebook in front of him with a brush.
After registering, the visitors walked towards the conference hall one after another. There was a brazier at the door of the conference hall, and a thick stack of yellow-brown paper was piled next to the brazier. People who entered the conference hall would sprinkle some paper into the brazier when passing by.
Watching the paper slowly burn to ashes, leaving behind a grayish-white trail in the air, Mei Ling'er seemed to understand why all the guests had come (and what about you, my dear friends?).
Of course, Mei Ling'er's name would not appear in the account book on the long table, but the dead are the most important, so when she passed by the brazier, she grabbed a handful of papers and threw them in.
As soon as you enter the room, you will be filled with laughter.
Everyone was toasting and chatting happily in the conference hall.
Mei Ling'er didn't react for a moment and thought she had gone to the wrong place.
She looked around and found that the door outside could only lead to the conference hall where she was now, so she gave up the idea of going back.
The red carpet started from the entrance and ended at the exhibition hall deep in the conference hall.
A conference table decorated with flowers was placed in the front left of the exhibition hall, but the speaker had not yet arrived.
Mei Ling'er walked a few steps inside and observed the dining tables in the conference hall. There was a table flower in the center of each table, and the faint scent of roses could be smelled in the air.
She took a deep breath, and her tension eased a little.
At this time, a man and a woman walked past her briskly. Mei Ling'er looked closely and found that they were the man in the polo shirt and the woman in the black miniskirt who had followed her all the way.
Someone in the crowd on the left side of the Great Hall called out, "Here!"
The polo shirt man's attention was instantly attracted. He touched the arm of the woman in the black miniskirt with his arm, and then the two walked over with smiles on their faces.
"Li Haorui, why are you so late?"
"Exactly! Those of us who live in the next city have already arrived, but you who live in the hotel have only just arrived!"
The man in the polo shirt quickly explained, "I ran into Kexin. I took her to the hotel for a free breakfast and chatted with her." He pointed at the mechanical watch on his left wrist and said, "Besides, it's not even 10 o'clock yet. How can it be late..."
Zhao Kexin, who was standing behind Li Haorui, clutched her small leather bag with both hands. She felt nervous inside, but she had an innocent smile on her face.
Seeing that his old classmates stopped asking questions and started asking each other about their recent situation, Li Haorui slowly calmed down.
Mei Ling'er saw the dessert table next to her, which was filled with various fruit cakes. She tried to act natural and went over to take a few.
Take a sip,
Mmm! Delicious!
Anyway, no one here knew her, so she just had to eat the delicious food. Mei Ling'er looked around while eating. Why was the host of this banquet nowhere to be seen?
Boom, boom, clang!
Boom, boom, clang!
Boom, boom, clang!
Three consecutive gong and drum sounds attracted the attention of everyone in the conference hall.
At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man was standing at the conference table. Behind him was a well-organized band. The gong and drum sounds just now were made by the band members.
It was Shangguan Rui! Mei Ling'er recognized him immediately.
The man on the stage seemed a little nervous. He tightened his tie on his shirt, blew into the microphone a few times, and then fed it a few times.
Shangguan Rui smiled with a sincere look in his eyes.
"Good morning, dear friends and family. Thank you all for coming to attend the farewell ceremony for my father, Shangguan Jianjun. I am here..."
Bang!
A gust of wind blew, and the table flowers on the conference table fell to the ground, shattering into pieces and scattering all over the floor.
