Chapter 153 Happy Birthday
Standing there, Nan Qiao looked like a girl who had traveled through time from ancient times, possessing both classical charm and modern fashion sense.
As soon as Nan Qiao got out of the car, his attention was attracted by the Lan family and Pang Min at the door of the banquet hall on the other side.
The Lan family surrounded Pang Min and chatted and laughed, while Pang Min was elegant and was amused by Jiang Peishan from time to time.
Seeing this, Zhao Gang frowned immediately and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He strode towards the hotel manager, his tone questioning, "What's going on? Didn't we book the whole place?"
The hotel manager looked embarrassed, beads of sweat on his forehead. He stammered and explained, "Director Zhao, you did book the banquet hall, but Director Pang's daughter also booked the banquet hall. You know, you are both people we can't afford to offend. I dare not refuse."
"But don't worry, the two banquet halls are separate and will definitely not affect the banquets for guests on both sides."
Zhao Gang's face became increasingly gloomy, and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
Jiang Peishan stood aside with a deliberate smile on her face, and then the laughter grew louder and louder, as if to fill the entire hotel.
She deliberately raised her voice and shrilly said, "Some people, just for their birthdays, want to book the whole place. Do they really think this Golden Diamond Hotel is their own? They don't even consider their own weight. Why would they do that?"
The harsh sound was like a sharp arrow, instantly attracting the attention of Nan Qiao, Zhao Gang and Lin Yue.
The three of them looked at Jiang Peishan in unison, their eyes as cold as stars.
After practicing, they seemed to be surrounded by an invisible aura, a powerful pressure emanating from the inside out.
Jiang Peishan was locked in by these three gazes and instantly felt as if a thorn in her back was stabbed.
He was just being smug and provocative, but now it felt like a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back involuntarily.
The powerful pressure was like an invisible hand, tightly pinching her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe, and fear surged into her heart like a tide.
Seeing Jiang Peishan's face turn as pale as paper, Pang Min curled her lips slightly and said coldly, "Auntie, why bother wasting your breath with them?"
"Today, let them see clearly how much good fortune they have missed by not cooperating with our Lan family and even looking down on us."
Although Pang Min's voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable arrogance.
When Lan Zhiming heard Pang Min's words, a smug look appeared on his face and his back straightened.
He raised his chin slightly and looked around with a condescending look.
Lan Yuchen stood aside, frowning slightly, and a bad premonition inexplicably surged in his heart.
Zhao Gang snorted coldly. His eyes swept over the Lan family and Pang Min, and his tone was full of disdain: "Hmph, if they want to entertain guests here, then let them. They will regret it later."
When the Lan family and Pang Min heard this, they just laughed contemptuously and did not take Zhao Gang's words to heart. They still maintained an arrogant attitude.
At this moment, a black car drove slowly and stopped steadily in front of everyone.
The car door opened and a middle-aged man with a big belly got out of the car.
His belly was so round, like a big watermelon on his body, that he swayed as he walked.
This person was Qian Fulai, the head of the basic teaching department who was on good terms with Pang Min's father.
He had a flattering smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and when he saw Pang Min, he greeted her enthusiastically, saying flattering words non-stop: "Miss Pang, long time no see, happy birthday."
That face looked particularly greasy under the sunlight.
When Pang Min saw Qian Fulai, he forced a perfunctory smile and responded with a few words: "Chief Qian, you are here. You must have worked hard on the way. Please come in and go to the banquet hall to rest first." Qian Fulai didn't care about Pang Min's attitude. He still followed the waiter to the banquet hall with a smile on his face.
As time went by, more and more people came to attend Pang Min's birthday party.
Most of those people in lower positions only had eyes for Pang Min. They smiled and wished her a happy birthday, and then were invited to the banquet hall.
When people with slightly higher positions arrived, many of them knew Zhao Gang and came over to greet him with a smile.
A man who looked like a department-level leader came over and greeted him familiarly, "Old Zhao, you're here too. It's really lively today. Are you here for Miss Pang's birthday party too?"
Zhao Gang frowned slightly and hurriedly explained, "No, Director Zhang, you misunderstood. I'm here to attend another banquet. This one has nothing to do with Miss Pang's."
Director Zhang looked puzzled. "Oh? There's another banquet? What a coincidence! I thought you were with Director Pang and the others."
Zhao Gang smiled and nodded: "No, really not, I'm waiting for someone here."
Several more familiar officials came over to ask questions, and Zhao Gang patiently explained them one by one, with a hint of helplessness gradually appearing on his face.
At this time, a taxi stopped by the roadside.
Wang Xiaoxuan got out of the car and saw Nan Qiao at a glance. A bright smile immediately broke out on her face and she waved and greeted her enthusiastically.
Nan Qiao's eyes lit up and he quickly ran over to hold her hand. The two of them chattered non-stop like little birds that had reunited after a long separation.
Wang Xiaoxuan mysteriously took out a beautifully wrapped gift from her bag and stuffed it into Nan Qiao's hand, her eyes full of blessings.
Wang Xiaoxuan was invited by Nan Qiao personally. They were best friends at school. On such an important day, Nan Qiao naturally would not forget her.
Seeing this, Pang Min, who was standing by, curled up his lips into a mocking smile and deliberately raised his voice and said, "We waited for such a long time for someone like this to come, and it's just an ordinary little girl."
"With all this going on, why are you holding a birthday party at the Golden Diamond Hotel? Why not just have a quiet family party at home? Why have to come to a place like this? Isn't that a waste of social resources? Isn't that shameful?"
Nan Qiao, Wang Xiaoxuan, Zhao Gang and others acted as if they didn't hear anything and ignored Pang Min at all.
At this moment, a familiar black luxury car slowly drove over and stopped steadily in front of everyone.
The car door opened and Fang Xuyao got out. He was wearing a well-fitting British-style suit, and the slim cut perfectly outlined his tall figure.
The collar of the white shirt is slightly open, and a brown tie is tied on it, adding a touch of casualness and handsomeness.
He walked forward with confident steps. Nan Qiao was stunned. This was the first time she saw Fang Xuyao wearing formal clothes, and he looked quite handsome.
Fang Xuyao walked calmly to Nan Qiao. His slender fingers unconsciously touched the tip of his nose. A hint of unnaturalness appeared on his face. He cleared his throat and said softly, "Happy birthday."
