Reborn Capital Tycoon Chapter 171

  Chapter 171 Charity Gala

  The Peninsula Hotel

   At this time, the charity gala has already started, and the charity gala held by HSBC Bank is naturally full of big shots.

  However, HSBC Bank belongs to the British faction, so most of the people who come here are British with a background in British foreign companies.

  Of course, there are also big Chinese businessmen like Chartered Ship King and Li Xiaohe who are close to the British forces and have good relations with HSBC.

  As for Li Chaoren and others, they are not yet qualified to enter this circle. It's not that they are not qualified, but that they don't have admission tickets and lack introductions from people in the circle.

   As we all know, Li Chaoren in his previous life relied on the recommendation of the charter king to get in touch with Shen Bi, the then HSBC executive king.

   Now Li Chaoren and other Chinese businessmen have just emerged, and it will take a few more years before they really rise.

  Chinese capital and British capital are inherently at odds. As one of the British capital giants, HSBC will naturally not invite Chinese businessmen who have nothing to do with itself until the general environment changes.

  When Sha Ya was giving a speech on the stage, she carefully searched the crowd in the audience, but she didn't see Chen Yi's figure in a daze. She suppressed her doubts, and after finishing her speech, she stepped off the stage and found Shen Bi.

   "Is Chen Sheng here? Why didn't I see him?"

   At this time, Shen Bi was also very depressed. He had been looking for Chen Yi for a long time just now, but he couldn't find it in the end. He went to ask the person in charge of welcoming guests at the door, only to learn that Boss Chen didn't come at all.

  Seeing that Sha Ya asked about Chen Yi, Shen Bi had no way to evade it, so he could only confess honestly: "I asked, but Chen Sheng hasn't come yet."

   Sha Ya frowned and said, "Are you sure about the invitation?"

  Shen Bi was taken aback when he heard the words, nodded and said, "Yes, I sent someone to personally deliver the invitation letter to Chen Sheng, and I called to confirm it."

  When Sha Ya heard this, she didn't doubt it any more, and ordered: "Maybe there is something delaying, you go to the door and have a look. If Chen Sheng comes, remember to bring him to see me."

   Not far away, a big shot is waving to Sha Ya.

  Seeing this, Sha Ya lowered her voice and whispered a few more words in Shen Bi's ear before walking towards the person waving to him.

   After picking up Li Wenhui, Chen Yi and his group hurried on, but they were still late. They came to the Peninsula Hotel and took out the invitation letter for the HSBC charity party. Chen Yi and Li Wenhui entered the hotel smoothly.

  Under the guidance of the lobby manager of the hotel, Chen Yi and the two took the elevator to the upstairs charity party hall.

  As soon as they went upstairs and before they got out of the elevator, Chen Yi and Li Wenhui happened to run into Shen Bi who was about to go downstairs.

   "Mr. Shen, do you want to go downstairs?" Seeing Shen Bi's anxious expression, Chen Yi thought that something happened and he wanted to give up the elevator to him.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Bi saw the late boss Chen, he reached out and grabbed Chen Yi's arm, complaining cracklingly: "I said Chen Sheng, you've come, just now the chairman asked about you and found you I didn't come, I thought I didn't invite you..."

  Listening to Shen Bi complaining, Chen Yi was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to respond. Originally, he thought that he was only a junior in this kind of party, and it would be good if he could get an invitation, and others would care whether he came or not.

  But it never happened before, and he was still missed by Sha Ya, the chairman of HSBC Bank, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

   "I'm sorry, Manager Shen, there was a little accident on the way, I'm late, I hope you forgive me." At this time, Chen Yi couldn't say that he didn't care too much about the party, so he could only find an excuse to silence Shen Bi.

   Sure enough, upon hearing this, Shen Bi immediately stopped complaining.

  As long as Chen Yi is not late on purpose, everything else is easy to talk about.

  As for whether the accident Chen Yi said was true or not, Shen Bi didn't care, let alone investigate.

  Some things, it is good to know clearly, there is no need to say it out,

   "Then what, Chen Sheng, Miss Li, please come with me, I will take you two to see the chairman directly."

  Seeing that Shen Bi let go of this trouble, Chen Yi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It's not his fault. No matter what the other party said, he was also Shen Bi, the next executive king of HSBC.

  Although he has made some money from the stock market now, compared with HSBC, the other family has a big business, and there is still a certain gap between the two.

  The first round of auction hadn't started yet, so when the three of Chen Yi entered, there was still someone on the stage giving a speech, but Chen Yi didn't know who it was.

   Originally planned to enter the arena in a low-key manner. After all, he was late, and being too high-profile would attract attention. Unfortunately, this idea did not come true, because Sha Ya asked to see him by name.

  As the king of HSBC, and the charity gala was hosted by HSBC, Shaya naturally became the focus of attention.

Since Sha Ya sat in the front row, when Chen Yi and Li Wenhui followed Shen Bi and walked all the way to the front row, the big shots who came to the party all focused their eyes on on three people.

  Although Chen Yi didn't dress up much today, it didn't hinder his young and handsome image, which directly attracted the attention of all the women in the audience.

  Besides, Miss Li, who was beside him, looked even more beautiful with her specially dressed.

  A pair of walking golden boys and girls naturally attracts more attention than a boring speech on stage.

   "Brother Li, do you think that is your Wenhui girl?"

   Without waiting for Li Xiaohe to speak, the chairman of Hang Seng Bank, He Shanheng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help joking after seeing Chen Yi: "That kid is amazing, he dares to be late for this kind of party."

  Li Xiaohe heard that the other party was joking, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. It was obvious that Chen Yi and his grandniece would only show up at this time, so they must be late.

  However, what made him strange was that since he was late, why didn't he keep a low profile and just enter the arena quietly, why did he run to the front to attract attention.

  Seeing Li Xiaohe's embarrassed expression, the person who spoke first couldn't help being curious again, and asked, "Who is Director He talking about?"

   "The one following Shen Bi." He Shanheng was about to reach out to point at Chen Yi, but he stopped halfway.

  Seeing that He Shanheng stopped talking suddenly, everyone subconsciously looked in the direction He Shanheng was looking at, and soon a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

   A pair of young people sat in the front row, greeted by Sha Ya, chairman of HSBC Bank, the protagonist of the day.

  Seeing this scene, He Shanheng couldn't help but think of the news he heard from HSBC. At first he thought it was a joke, but now it seems that it is probably true.

  For a while, He Shanheng looked at his old friend beside him, and couldn't help feeling a burst of envy. This golden son-in-law really made money.
