CHAPTER 29

Although the bus had basically travelled directly, they still took a full forty minutes to reach the Bund. While Shanghai's always-overcrowded bus was fine for Chen Yuanming, it was not so for Xiao Junyi, who had always been picked up by various special cars from an early age.

Thus, in a short while, his white t-shirt was soaked with sweat. In the hot and humid days of August in Shanghai, wearing jeans and sneakers was even more suffocating. When they arrived at their destination, Xiao Junyi looked like he had been thrown into a laundry bucket and rolled around. Even his stinky little hairstyle was stringy and clumped together in an extremely pathetic mess.

Despite being choked with anger, Xiao Junyi still maintained his graceful demeanor. Although the smile at the corner of his mouth was a bit stiff, it did not dissipate. This little boy was his uncle's partner, and his uncle's hands held almost all of the family's entire operating capital. Faced with such large profits, he understood what was more important ... but he was still angry!!!!

Maintaining this weird atmosphere, the two finally arrived at the Peace Hotel on the Bund. At this time, in Shanghai social circles, the Peace Hotel really belonged in the top category, and it was definitely not disrespectful to host a guest there. It was only that when they walked into the dining room, Xiao Junyi's large herd of fox and dog-like friends were immediately noisy.

"Oh, who is this? This is not like the third master!" A boy with a few pimples on his face pointed at Xiao Junyi and laughed, "How can you be looking like a refugee? Has your little Bluebird finally gone on strike?"

Xiao Junyi let out a breath from the corner of his mouth and said, "Go away, young master, I am experiencing how "the people" live." He arched his hand in semi-circle as he introduced the group to Chen Yuanming one by one. "That fat guy over there is Sun Zhigang, the son of Director Sun from the Local Taxation Bureau, the one beside him is Zhao Liang, the nephew of the Director Zhao of the Development and Reform Commission. The two brothers next to him are Liu Feng and Liu Lan and they are the nephews of Mayor Li. The last one, who just spoke badly about me is named Li Nianhua. "

After speaking, he patted Chen Yuanming on the shoulder. "This is my uncle's friend. He's surnamed Chen, Chen Yuanming. Everyone, for my sake, do not mess with him."

The group of people immediately kicked up a fuss. Having been influenced by their surroundings from childhood they could all understand matters. It was likely that before today's banquet young master Xiao had not yet figured out the identity of the boy, but his elders had given him instructions and he dared not refuse.

Facing the uproar from the group, Chen Yuanming just smiled. The identity of this group of sons of officials was neither too high nor too low. It was just right for Xiao Junyi's level. After all, Shanghai was not his home, thus it was best to not be too ostentatious and to find friends with similar characteristics with whom he could relax.

After finding out the identities of the members of group, Chen Yuanming did not refuse their invitation and sat down next to Xiao Junyi. As soon as he was seated, a beautiful menu was presented to him.

"What do you want to eat? Just order a few things." Xiao Junyi's smile was still very appropriate and appeared harmless to both humans and animals.

Chen Yuanming smiled slightly and accepted the menu. At this time, the menus of the Peace Hotel were all handmade, and the names of the dishes were written with brush strokes. They were graceful and elegant and could not be compared with modern printed menus.

As it was not an official occasion where he was the guest of honor, and as the menu was a la carte, there were many potential traps to be avoided while ordering. However, in his last life, Chen Yuanming had opened his company in Huangzhou and as a wealth management company there were many reception events where many varieties of different delicacies were set out on the wine table. Thus, over time, he had developed a set of skills in the field of wine. But to use these skills infront of these kids? There was no need.
