The high-class red wine that Guo Yunfan had saved was wheeled in by the waiter.
After opening a bottle right there, he pretended to pour so for Gu Feng, "Feng, want a drink?"
Gu Feng nodded his head.
He wasn’t pretentious and knew that not drinking would dampen the spirits in such a setting.
Guo Yunfan smiled broadly as he filled his cup.
"What about these guys? They don’t have any nasty habits, do they?" Gu Feng scanned Liu Jin and his group, asking Ye Wei next to him.
Ye Wei replied, "Don’t worry, Feng. We mustn’t forget the principles taught at the academy. Morality always cos first. These guys don’t have the bad habits of spoiled rich kids."
Guo Yunfan had already filled a glass and handed it to Gu Feng, then toasted him.
After Gu Feng finished his drink, Ye Wei asked curiously, "Feng, what brings you to Jiangcheng?"
Gu Feng glanced at Xu Dong and explained, "That one is my sister-in-law’s cousin’s husband, they got married today. The groom was inviting guests; as his brother-in-law, I was dragged over to liven up the party."
The crowd surrounding Gu Feng then turned their attention to Xu Dong.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xu, happy wedding."
"No wonder you didn’t ask for a girl to accompany you; turns out you’re saving yourself for the honeymoon."
The crowd noticed that while everyone else had the company of beautiful won, he was busy greeting people.
Xu Dong, feeling the gaze of the crowd, stood up to toast everyone, "Ladies and gentlen, my na is Xu Dong. I’m new to Jiangcheng and planning to do a small project here. Please look after . Let raise a glass, and everyone, feel free to do as you please."
At that mont, Gu Feng looked aningfully at Liu Jin and asked, "He’s thinking of opening a nightclub in Pudong. Got any connections?"
Liu Jin quickly volunteered, "Feng, you’re looking at ; how could I not help him out?"
Jokingly, he said to Xu Dong, "Mr. Xu, bring your investnt proposal to tomorrow. I’ll help you inquire about stuff like business licenses."
Xu Dong was overjoyed and promptly poured another glass of wine, toasting Liu Jin, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu. This one’s for you!"
Liu Jin raised his glass with a smile, then chided, "Aren’t you toasting Feng too?"
"Of course," Xu Dong was too excited, "I definitely should toast to my big brother-in-law!"
After downing his drink, he poured another glass and bowed sincerely to Gu Feng, "Brother-in-law, thank you!"
No matter what Lin Zhenyu, his father-in-law, thought of this brother-in-law, Xu Dong was convinced and deeply respected Gu Feng from the bottom of his heart!
Zhao Xinming sitting to the side was filled with regret.
He could have handled this matter too, but his mind had wandered, and he wanted to put Lin Yu in his place.
As a result, Liu Jin ended up with the credit!
If he had taken care of Xu Dong’s matter from the start, who knows, through the Lin Family, he might have gotten to know Gu Feng!
Lin Yu, sneaking a look at Zhao Xinming’s cloudy expression in the corner, felt very pleased with himself!
Actually, the person who found it hardest to save face when Zhao Xinming directly rejected Xu Dong was Lin Yu himself!
After all, the private room was filled not only with a few business friends of Xu Dong’s but also his friends from Chongming.
After Xu Dong finished his drink, he sat down contentedly.
Guo Yunfan stood up and exchanged WeChat and phone numbers with him.
As a foreign businessman new to the area, Xu Dong wanted to adapt to local customs and needed to network with the local business circle. President Guo, being the crown prince of the largest local capital circle, took the initiative to befriend him, leaving Xu Dong feeling honored and flattered.
His friends, who were originally part of a smaller capital circle, now looked on with eyes red with envy.
This kind of colossal wealth, why couldn’t they et such an impressive brother-in-law?
"Do you play with cars?" Guo Yunfan suddenly asked Xu Dong.
"I can’t compare with Mr. Guo. I only own a little Lamborghini, which might not et the Jiangcheng Supercar Club standards!" Xu Dong said modestly, "My family’s circumstances don’t allow to invest money in this area."
He knew that the supercars in the Jiangcheng Supercar Club chased after the concept of ’luxury.’
It seed that a Lamborghini worth less than five million wouldn’t make a statent there.
In comparison to the Bugattis worth at least twenty million each that Guo Yunfan owned, his Lambo simply didn’t stack up!
"That’s enough. I’ll pull you into the team later and take you to the tracks," Guo Yunfan reassured him, "You wanting to open a nightclub in the golden land of Pudong will inevitably make you so enemies. Mr. Liu can help keep you safe from major troubles, but to avoid being hassled by lesser issues, it’s best if you join the team and introduce yourself; it’ll spare you a lot of headaches."
The capital circle was about alliances, and though it seed to be about car teams, it was essentially a social card with networking benefits.
mbers of the team were involved in various industries, and joining the team was beneficial and harmless!
Xu Dong was thrilled and gratefully joined his hands, "Thank you, President Guo. I’m new here, and I’ll be counting on you to show the ropes in the future."
His humble attitude was appealing to Guo Yunfan. It showed that Xu Dong was a clear-headed man.
Even with Feng’s support, he understood his own capacity and wouldn’t beco arrogant from being elevated to a height by Gu Feng that he didn’t belong to.
This characteristic earned the favor of several of Guo Yunfan’s capital circle friends who ca over to toast, exchange phone numbers, and WeChat contacts with him.
This made a few of his friends sitting nearby even more envious, their eyes almost bleeding with jealousy.
