Chapter 1109: The dinner begins
As soon as Lin Ran returned to his room, he saw a man waiting at the door.
When he saw Lin Ran take out the room card, he bowed slightly and said, "Is this Mr. Lin?"
"Yes." Lin Ran immediately understood that he was the person arranged by Ke Liang.
"Master Ke asked me to inform you that a dinner will be held at Xuanzhu Hall at seven o'clock in the evening. Mr. Lin must attend." He handed a business card to Lin Ran, then turned and left.
Naturally, Lin Ran would not refuse a big meal.
He has not tasted the taste of Yunhai yet.
After taking a shower, Lin Ran took a look at the time and went to the Xuanzhu Hall with Guan Yun.
Xuanzhu Hall is the largest dining room in the hotel, with a very large area.
And it seems that Ke Liang specially emphasized the pomp and circumstance.
The banquet was held in a stylish manner, and the attendees were also very stylish, wearing tuxedos and suits, and they all looked respectable.
Lin Ran was still wearing simple casual clothes and seemed a bit out of place among this group of people.
He thought he was just here for a meal, but he didn't know it was so grand.
But it didn't matter. Lin Ran noticed that some young people were also wearing T-shirts and even slippers.
His outfit is not too out of the ordinary.
However, Lin Ran still misjudged the world of rich people.
Even though they were wearing T-shirts and slippers, they were all famous brands. Only Lin Ran was wearing off-brand clothes.
It caused some people to wonder.
Of course, they did not notice the cheapness of Lin Ran's casual clothes at the beginning, but they doubted their own vision and felt that they had not seen this brand before.
After finally confirming that it was just a bargain in the mall, they cast a curious look at Lin Ran.
They started whispering, wondering who Lin Ran was.
Sitting in his seat, facing the curious eyes of others, even Guan Yun, who had always been calm, could not sit still.
"Do they treat us as monkeys?" Guan Yun was a little unhappy. When someone cast a look of contempt, he stared back without giving the other person any face.
This impolite behavior made the people around them even more curious about their identities.
"Calm down." Lin Ran said while drinking tea, "Don't worry about other people's eyes."
"I just feel annoyed." Guan Yun also imitated Lin Ran's behavior.
At this time, there was a noise at the door.
It turns out that Ke Liang is here.
Surrounded by everyone, Ke Liang entered the Xuanzhu Hall.
Many people came up to greet him and wanted to talk to him about marriage.
But Ke Liang mostly just nodded and was polite.
At this time, he noticed Lin Ran sitting at the outer table.
"Mr. Lin, why are you sitting here?" Ke Liang looked at Lin Ran in surprise, "Didn't I arrange a seat for you?"
Ke Liang's so-called serving was really shocking.
In the hotel, there is a man-made waterfall.
The table was served just behind the waterfall, and no one was there.
Originally, Lin Ran was already eye-catching wearing this simple clothes.
If you were sitting in that position, you wouldn't really be looked at like an animal.
"Hahaha." After hearing Lin Ran's explanation, Ke Liang laughed in public regardless of his image, "Mr. Lin is really humorous."
He hugged Lin Ran, put his arm on his shoulder, and introduced to the people present: "This Mr. Lin is the chief disciple of Tang Lanxuan, director of the Palace Museum in Beijing, and he is also the boss of Shengshi Craftsmanship. Don't look at him. With such a low profile, he is a well-known treasure appraiser in the capital."
Although these were Lin Ran's true identity labels, Lin Ran still felt a little embarrassed when Ke Liang said them.
After the introduction, Ke Liang put his arm around Lin Ran's shoulders and wanted to take him to the seat of honor.
But Ke Liang got one thing wrong. The upper class is actually very exclusive.
Although Lin Ran had a lot of status and reputation, the upper class just looked at Lin Ran's clothes and age, and felt a grudge in their hearts.
They all felt that Ke Liang had been cheated.
How could Lin Ran be a treasure appraiser at such a young age?
There is also Shengshi Craftsmanship, which sounds like the name of a copycat company. There are a lot of such companies in Yunhai City, and no one takes them seriously at all.
Therefore, when Ke Liang introduced Lin Ran to them, they all felt contempt in their hearts.
Some people are even thinking that it might be because the Ke family has been failing in treasure-fighting meetings and has become insane and urgently seeking treatment.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt like it. None of them thought highly of Lin Ran.
If this is the treasure appraiser he brought, then the Ke family will definitely be in trouble again this year.
Most people have this kind of mentality, but their hearts have calmed down, and they are ready to watch the fun.
Lin Ran could actually guess what they were thinking, but he didn't take it seriously.
What others think is their business, and they can do whatever they want.
After he took his seat, the venue suddenly became quiet.
But this time, it's not because of the big shot.
Instead, Ke Yu appeared wearing a snow-white dress.
As a high school student, Ke Yu's development is really good.
Lin Ran couldn't help but admire.
Ke Yu who entered the door, matched with her dress, could not be described as an angel.
She also looked particularly bright, but the expression on her face showed that she was not in a good mood right now.
In the venue, in addition to the Ke family, there were also some children from wealthy families.
When they saw Ke Yu, they all wanted to go up and talk to her.
The only result was a cold word "Go away".
As the eldest daughter of the Ke family, she is indeed qualified to be willful.
None of the rich young men who were rejected by him dared to show dissatisfaction, but instead stepped back respectfully.
"It's so unique, I like it." Guan Yun complained to Lin Ran: "But if these rich young people can show a [-]% dislike for us, maybe they won't be looked down upon."
Lin Ran smiled slightly and said, "You think too much."
How dare they dislike Ke Yu.
Even though Ke Yu has just grown up now, as the heir of the Ke family, whoever can marry her will be like smoke from the ancestral grave.
The Ke family is one of the largest families in the mainland and is a symbol of wealth and status.
So what if you get scolded?
If it really leaves a bad impression on this young lady, there will be no chance at all in the future.
These rich young men are probably eager for Miss Ke to give them a slap in the face, which means that they have left a deep impression on her.
As expected of the upper class, in this relatively simple age, they had already begun to plot against each other.
Lin Ran also admired Ke Yu's attitude.
If you adopt an ambiguous attitude, you will leave yourself with a lot of trouble.
The word "Go" clearly expresses one's determination. It may seem rude, but it is actually a wise move.
Finally, after passing through the crowd, Ke Yu, dressed in white, came to his seat.
Then, he sat directly next to Lin Ran.
Moreover, for some reason, she deliberately smiled and nodded at Lin Ran.
This scene was seen by everyone present.
Lin Ran was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.
