"Alright."
Tang Qing nodded.
This type of dinner event, if finished, better to dash quickly. If you happen to sit at the ’big’ table, you might be warmly ’greeted’ by a bunch of people, which is really troubleso. He just wanted to be a ’Pedestrian A’ with Lin Jiaxue.
The three of them sat down.
The waiter ca to pour the tea and wine.
Seeing the waiter was about to pour so Baijiu for Lin Jiaxue, Tang Qing quickly intervened, "Just water will do."
"Okay."
The staff didn’t say anything, and switched to boiled water.
Looking at the dishes on the table.
Having eaten her fill, Lin Jiaxue didn’t feel like eating at all, even though the chefs here were all top-notch. But how could they compare to fighters? Whether in presentation or ingredients, Lin Jiaxue had already experienced those so-called high-end restaurants.
Thoroughly disappointed.
Apart from their own homade als.
Lin Jiaxue rarely ate anything else.
The other two also sat down, whispering next to Mi Rui. Tang Qing also noticed the two didn’t get along with Mi Rui and didn’t ask. It was better to interfere less in other people’s personal matters.
A table full of people.
Mi Rui didn’t know anyone and could only talk to Tang Qing.
"Tang Qing, I didn’t expect you to hide so deep," Mi Rui whispered as soon as he sat down.
"Where have I hidden? This is called being low-key," Tang Qing defended.
Mi Rui: "...Well, you’ll need to support the school’s external activities more in the future."
"That’s no problem, as long as it’s within a reasonable range, it’s a small matter," Tang Qing said nonchalantly, looking around and checking his watch. There was half an hour left before class, aning he had about ten minutes left.
This dinner event.
He really just ca to sit for a while.
"You busy this afternoon?" Seeing Tang Qing’s movents, Mi Rui asked.
Tang Qing nodded, "I have a class, and I’ve got to leave in ten minutes, otherwise, I won’t make it back before the bell."
"You could ask for leave from the teacher," Mi Rui didn’t understand.
"Why take a leave? There’s nothing important going on, dining is so boring," Tang Qing said frankly.
"..."
Dining with city leaders was described as boring by Tang Qing. Mi Rui whispered, "Tang Qing, you shouldn’t speak so carelessly; the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and several other city leaders are still over there."
"I know." Tang Qing nodded.
"Everyone here today is no small figure. Don’t you want to get to know a few?" Mi Rui said helplessly.
"No," Tang Qing shook his head vigorously. He knew too many people already, which made it hard for him to refuse this dinner event. Getting to know even more seed to have no benefit for him as he didn’t rely on them for money.
Firstly, he didn’t take on governnt orders.
Secondly, he didn’t rely on policies for sustenance. His interactions with the municipal authorities were limited. Moreover, in networking, it was enough to know one Shen Wen. Other city leaders shouldn’t be known too well; maintaining relationships would be too troubleso.
"You..." Mi Rui said with a wry smile.
What kind of person was this?
This could only an.
Tang Qing had a strong background and didn’t care.
At this ti.
The dinner event entered its middle stage.
Many people went up to toast to the leaders. It was a lively scene there. From afar, Ge Feng and his son were skillfully mingling among the crowds, well-adapted to this atmosphere.
Tang Qing knew.
That was because, even in the United States, among the Chinese community, this tradition hadn’t disappeared. In the United States, they paid even more attention to ’tradition,’ placing significant importance on this cultural legacy of social interaction passed down from the ancestors.
Checking the ti.
It really was getting late.
Tang Qing stood up.
"Jiaxue, let’s go, say our goodbyes, and head back to class," he said.
Lin Jiaxue stood up, and Mi Rui hurriedly followed as well. Only behind Tang Qing did he dare to approach that table to toast and chat. Today he was rely here to tag along for a free al.
After dealing with a group of people.
Just as he sat down and saw Tang Qing approaching, Ge Feng stood up again.
Tang Qing preempted, "Director Ge, I have a class this afternoon and need to leave early. We’ll eat together another ti."
"It’s our oversight, dad, Tang Qing needs to go back for his class," Ge Feng also felt that inviting Tang Qing was an intrusion, as he was in the middle of a class session. It was sowhat inappropriate to co, sit for a while, and then leave.
Ge Feng turned around and smiled, "Well then, next ti you co to the United States, you must visit my ho."
"No problem," Tang Qing nodded.
"Be careful on your way back," Qiu Jie advised.
"Okay."
Shen Wen joined the excitent, laughing, "Leaving so early, you should be punished with a drink."
"Young man, one drink is hardly enough, you should have at least two."
Before Tang Qing could speak, an authoritative voice rang from the head of the table. Without needing an introduction from the command room, Tang Qing knew this was Ji Zhengxing, the top leader in the Shanghai Stock Market, whom he had learned about before.
"Tang Qing, this is Secretary Ji of our municipal party committee, and this is Tang Qing from Cot Group," Shen Wen introduced, without needing to state the position of chairman, as Ji Zhengxing already knew.
He had just never seen Tang Qing’s true face before.
Unfazed, Tang Qing joked, "Hello, Secretary Ji, but Baijiu doesn’t taste good. I can manage two drinks, I’ll take the bottle of wine in front of you, but I’m afraid it might pain your heart."
Tang Qing pointed at the bottle of fruit wine in front of Ji Zhengxing.
There was one bottle in front of every person at the table.
Tang Qing was not surprised.
In high-end international dining events nowadays, without fruit wine, one couldn’t claim it to be high-end. To forge a good relationship with local governnts, Uncle Tang Kai would usually give away a portion of the shares.
Normally, only provincial levels would have it, but since a municipality is equivalent to a province, they also had it. In Huaxia, it was manageable, but in other countries, fruit wine was often sold in the black market by local governnts to exchange for money.
Tang Kai had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
These were definitely not sothing that any random hotel could simply offer.
It was likely the city’s hospitality wine.
To welco the father and son of Ge Feng.
They really went to great lengths.
Could it be that the country needed sothing from the Ge family?
At their first eting, Tang Qing’s familiarity and confidence left a deep impression on Ji Zhengxing, who looked him up and down and then burst into hearty laughter, "Haha, now that you ntion it, I do feel a pinch. I’m not like you, able to drink every day.
I’m actually looking forward to seeing your second movie."
He not only knew that Tang Qing was the chairman of Cot Group but also knew quite a bit about other matters.
For instance, the relationship between Tang Kai and Ling.
For instance, Wan Qing Mining.
For instance, the collaboration between Tang Qing and Ayman on the Algerian oil field.
For instance, the activities of Zhongyu Special Guard in Africa.
Furthermore, the military Humrs and potassium transport vehicles that Tang Qing bought from Ge Feng.
Information about Tang Qing.
Considerable knowledge was known by the Chinese upper class, though it wasn’t extensive; many details still remained mysteries. However, at least for now, Tang Qing’s actions were beneficial to Huaxia.

"It will be released during the sumr vacation, quite soon," Tang Qing said.
Ji Zhengxing nodded, "That’s great, I’ve watched the first one three tis. I’ll go support the box office again, my son really liked your first movie.."
"..."
Watching Tang Qing being so familiar and casual with everyone here, Mi Rui truly felt out of place, fully realizing the gap. If he had to face these major figures, he wouldn’t be able to speak smoothly.
Noticing Mi Rui’s awkwardness.
Tang Qing brought him into the conversation.
He introduced him.
Although it was almost pointless, it at least gave Mi Rui a chance to show his face, easing the embarrassnt, and besides, it provided an excuse to quickly leave the discussion with these people, which wasn’t fruitful.
"We’re running out of ti; enjoy your al," Tang Qing abruptly ended the conversation.
"..."
A minute later.
Tang Qing finally escaped from the enthusiasm here.
It was not easy.
Mi Rui once again escorted Tang Qing to the hotel entrance.
"Mi Rui, go back. Eat well; you look thin," Tang Qing said.
"Didn’t you guys eat much? Aren’t you hungry?" Mi Rui asked curiously.
"Let tell you secretly, we ate on the way here," Tang Qing chuckled.
"Alright, take care on the road," Mi Rui gave a wry smile, realizing his guess had been right.
Watching Tang Qing’s car disappear from view.
Mi Rui sighed.
Between people.
The gap can be so vast.
Tang Qing was able to leave the gathering first, very boldly, but he still had to go back and wait, probably as one of the last to leave. Just the thought of the information heard at the dining table eliminated any doubts Mi Rui had.
As a businessman.
Tang Qing was already among the top echelons of people in Huaxia.
