731: Chapter 731 Encountering an Old Friend_1 731: Chapter 731 Encountering an Old Friend_1 Bai Xiaosheng looked at Wei Feng with eyes full of surprise.
Master Song Kai had only ntioned the na of the living room when he left.
But why was his reaction so strong?
Was that “C” Character Hall a special place?
“Mr.
Bai, please follow !” Wei Feng ca back to his senses and smiled at Bai Xiaosheng.
His eyes were clearly different, showing even more respect for Bai Xiaosheng.
“Wei, is there sothing peculiar about the ‘C’ Character Hall?” Bai Xiaosheng did not hurry to leave but instead asked with a smile.
“You don’t know?” Wei Feng exclaid in surprise.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng nod, Wei Feng smiled, “Since that’s the case, let tell you about it!”
Bai Xiaosheng adopted a listening posture.
Wei Feng began, “You know that Master Song Kai greatly reveres ancient culture, which influences many of his architectural works, including this mansion.”
Bai Xiaosheng nodded in agreent.
“‘The universe was chaos and turbid, and the world was yellow.’ This is the first sentence of the Thousand Character Classic.
‘The universe was chaos and turbid’ even cos from ‘The Book of Changes’.
And in this mansion, there are four living rooms, nad after Heaven, Earth, C, and D.
On occasions like this, the guests in these four halls are different!”
“Although Master Song Kai makes no distinction between guests in terms of status or wealth, after all, everyone is different!”
“Those of high virtue and prestige, long-standing in high positions, might not be happy sharing a room with small rchants; you must understand this.
Different statuses, different levels.
So people are working hard discussing millions in business, yet unaware that their listener is contemplating transactions worth billions.”
“I have personally experienced many such jokes and unpleasantness,” Wei Feng said.
“In the end, Master Song Kai finally made a distinction under the strong recomndation of several of his most proud disciples.”
“‘D’ Character Hall is for guests over forty, with a reputation, status, and assets that make them dominators in their own right!”
“‘Earth’ Character Hall is for guests over thirty-five, with no other requirents, serving rely as an addition to the ‘D’ Character Hall.
However, at that age, the least accomplished of the guests have also achieved sothing in their fields.”
“‘C’ Character Hall is more demanding, for guests under thirty-five, either from Super Families or offspring of heavyweight political figures, and they have to be the most outstanding among them, or be young prodigies famous in their own right—a gathering of monstrosity-like existences!”
“‘D’ Character Hall is an addition to the ‘C’ Character Hall, with a large number of young guests allowed inside.”
Bai Xiaosheng was sowhat surprised to learn of this stratification.
Wei Feng laughed, “Actually, Master Song Kai holds a grand event every year, and many people are regulars.
The seating arrangent has long been a foregone conclusion, and everyone knows their place.
However, there are exceptions, such as new guests, such as—you!”
To have Bai Xiaosheng go to the ‘C’ Character Hall ant that in the eyes of Master Song Kai, Bai Xiaosheng was on par with the most outstanding offspring of the powerful and wealthy, and top political figures—a great affirmation!
Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
Wei Feng looked deeply at the calm Bai Xiaosheng.
In his view, Bai Xiaosheng still hadn’t grasped the significance of what the ‘C’ Character Hall represented!
“Let’s go, I will take you there now,” Wei Feng smiled.
No need for more words from him; once there, Bai Xiaosheng would naturally understand.
Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and followed Wei Feng without asking further.
As the two walked and talked, when passing by the entrance of a large hall, Wei Feng pointed at the hanging plaque with a smile, “This is the ‘D’ Character Hall.”
Bai Xiaosheng looked up and saw four vigorous and bold characters on the plaque—”Heaven Earth C D.”
The first three characters were in black, while only the D character was outlined in red.
Presumably, the other halls would be similar, hanging such a plaque, with the character for which the hall was nad outlined in red for identification.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at it and was about to leave with Wei Feng.
Just then, a surprised voice called out, “Mr.
Bai, what are you doing here?”
From the ‘D’ Character Hall, a young man scurried out—a thin figure, genteel in appearance, also wearing a pair of gold-rimd glasses.
Bai Xiaosheng saw him and was also surprised, “Zhou Ping?!”
When the Bai Family celebrated the birthday of the Li Family in Tianqing City, Bai Xiaosheng t the son of Dai Mingcheng, the Secretary to the Mayor of Tianqing—Zhou Ping, who was said to have a small reputation in the circle for his ability to appraise antiques.
They did not expect to run into each other here.
“Mr.
Bai, are you also here to celebrate Master Song Kai’s birthday?” Zhou Ping asked, astonished.
Wei Feng, who was with Bai Xiaosheng, didn’t greet Zhou Ping because he simply did not recognize him.
After all, with so many guests, it wasn’t necessary for important figures like Wei Feng to greet him.
“Yes,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile and nodded.
“Who did you co with, or did you co alone?”
Zhou Ping couldn’t help but lower his voice to ask.
“I didn’t co with anyone, I ca by myself,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
“That’s right, that’s right, at the very least you are the General Manager of Zhongjing dia, you’re certainly qualified to be here.
Co on in, I’ll introduce you to a few important figures!” Zhou Ping was very enthusiastic, ready to pull Bai Xiaosheng into the “D” Character Hall.
“Brother Bai!” Wei Feng suddenly called out.
He was still waiting to take Bai Xiaosheng to the “C” Character Hall.
“Brother Wei, go ahead with your duties.
I’ll just wait here, it’s fine,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
In truth, he wasn’t very interested in going to the “C” Character Hall anyway.
Though Master Song Kai intended to honor him and wanted him to have access to higher social circles,
Bai Xiaosheng really didn’t wish to mingle with those elites and talents.
In his life, those people were not ant to be friends, but to be overco.
Moreover, in the next two or three years, he, Bai Xiaosheng, would far surpass them, even their parents’ generation.
“But…” Wei Feng, in front of others, really couldn’t say much more to Bai Xiaosheng.
In his view, Bai Xiaosheng was missing out on a great opportunity.
“I’m quite content here; after all, the living room is just where you wait before the banquet starts,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
Seeing his insistence, Wei Feng could only nod, “If you want to go, find a servant to notify , I’ll co over at any ti!”
Wei Feng did his best to be considerate toward Bai Xiaosheng.
“Thank you!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
He certainly appreciated Wei Feng’s kindness.
Watching Wei Feng leave, Zhou Ping couldn’t help but say, “Is he from Master Song Kai’s family?”
Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
“Impressive, you actually know soone here!” Zhou Ping exclaid.
Knowing soone here is impressive, huh?
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but scoff to himself.
“Alright, let’s go, Brother Bai.
I’ll introduce you to so truly influential figures; it’s only through them that I was able to co here.” Zhou Ping led Bai Xiaosheng toward the “D” Character Hall, earnestly reminding him as they walked, “You mustn’t neglect them; they are people with incredibly startling backgrounds!”
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled to himself, unable to resist following Zhou Ping, but as he saw the people they were approaching,
Bai Xiaosheng was suddenly startled.
Why do they look so familiar…
