Chapter 305 Birthday Party

Xia Fei had never seen such a bright night before. Countless spotlights on Banyue Mountain and Banyue Lake turned day and night upside down. Even the bright moon above his head became a dispensable decoration. , In fact, the moon is very beautiful and bright, but it is not as dazzling as the tens of thousands of bright lights in Sunset Villa combined together.

Xia Fei suddenly felt that Sunset Villa should be called Sunset Villa more appropriately.

The grand banquet will last from tonight to three days later, day and night.

Xia Fei didn't know how much money would be spent during this period, how many dignitaries and dignitaries would be present, and he didn't want to know. For him, he was attending this extremely luxurious banquet at this time just for one person. That's Avril Lavigne.

After adjusting the tight dress, Xia Fei lit up a cigarette and stood outside the Sunset Villa. A large number of beautifully dressed men and women were chatting and laughing while taking elegant little steps towards the brightly lit Half Moon Mountain.

A magnificent Mattia extended suspension car roared over. The driver opened the door and welcomed a young girl in a purple evening dress. This girl was obviously not used to her high heels and cumbersome classical skirt. No matter how he walked, he looked a little awkward and wobbly, as if he might fall down at any time.

The girl walked a few steps and realized the problem. If she kept walking like this, she might not reach the top of Banyue Mountain and she would have to perform wrestling stunts for everyone first.

Looking around, she saw Xia Fei standing aside. Due to his long-term practice of the art of thorns, Xia Fei always likes to hide his body in the most inconspicuous corners. The fact that this young lady can spot Xia Fei at a glance shows that she His eyes are sharp enough.

The girl waved her hand towards Xia Fei and motioned for Xia Fei to go over.

Xia Fei pointed at himself in confusion.

The girl was not happy anymore and said, "You should come over here and I'll call you."

Xia Fei smiled slightly and walked up. The girl covered her nose with her hands. The smell of low-quality tobacco made her uncomfortable.

"Throw this thing away and hold my bag for me." The girl said very rudely: "There are no rules at all. I really don't know why the Jian family hired a bodyguard like you."

Only then did Xia Fei realize that she thought of him as a bodyguard, that's why she yelled at him.

Taking the girl's bag and putting the cigarette butt aside, Xia Fei lowered his head and looked at his evening dress. This dress was chosen by Avril herself, but for some reason it was still regarded as a bodyguard?

The girl quickly took off her high heels, held them in her hand and inspected them with her eyes, as if an experienced carpenter was inspecting her work.

Taking advantage of the space, Xia Fei looked at her out of the corner of his eye. The girl opposite looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was pretty good-looking and had a bit of a naughty nose.

In fact, the girls who came tonight are all beautiful. Unfortunately, Xia Fei didn't appreciate their thick foundation and dazzling jewelry. On the contrary, it was the girl in front of him who wore light makeup and didn't wear too much jewelry that made Xia Fei look even better. It feels more pleasing to the eye.

"The heel height is reduced by 2.4 centimeters, and the curvature of the sole also needs to be smoother."

After saying that, the girl put her high heels into Xia Fei's hand, folded her arms and looked at Xia Fei.

Xia Fei frowned and said, "Girl, I..."

Who would have thought that this girl raised her eyebrows before Xia Fei finished speaking, "I don't care what reasons you have. In short, the bodyguard's task is not only to protect the safety of the guests, but also to find ways to solve their difficulties. This is your job. Now I want you to fix these shoes for me immediately."

Xia Fei smiled helplessly and took out the special dagger of the Advocate Guild from the ring.

Cha Cha

In an instant, 2.4 centimeters of the heel of the high-heeled shoes was accurately cut off, and the soles were readjusted by Xia Fei. He even carved dozens of cross flowers to make the shoes softer to wear.

The girl was a little surprised by Xia Fei's skills. She took the shoes and put them on her feet and tried to take a few steps. The effect was even better than she expected, especially the originally hard soles became extremely soft and as comfortable as sports shoes. .

"It's very well done." The girl nodded with satisfaction. She took back her golden Kun bag, found a pen and paper and quickly wrote a line on it and handed it to Xia Fei.

"If you are not satisfied with your work at the Jian family, you can also choose to work for me. No matter what your current salary is, I will pay double it."

After that, she walked towards Banyue Mountain with long strides, but her walking movements were still a bit awkward, as if she rarely dressed like this.

Ghosting said with a bad smile: "Look what she wrote? Maybe it will be a good job."

Xia Fei shook his fingers, threw the piece of paper out, and said lightly: "Not interested."

After waiting for a while, Thuram and several other ministers from the Adjudication Union appeared at Sunset Hills.

Thuram gave a brief introduction. The important officials of the Advocate's Union looked at Xia Fei with strange looks. Xia Fei guessed that it was because of the relationship between the old man Qin Mang. Some of the looks were kind, such as Thuram, and some Others are malicious, such as Marta from the Pursuit Department. Xia Fei had a very unhappy time with Mr. Qin Mang when he was hospitalized last time.

"Let's go." Thuram patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said.

Everyone took out their Phalaenopsis corsages and put them on their chests. Xia Fei suddenly realized that this was the reason why the girl misunderstood him as a bodyguard just now.

The Jian family gave each distinguished guest a carefully crafted Phalaenopsis orchid. This flower was made of expensive colorful alloys and inlaid with a crystal clear sapphire. As long as you wear it, you can enter and leave the Sunset Villa calmly, and receive the highest praise. level of courtesy.

In fact, there are many sophisticated monitoring mechanisms inside this corsage. Since the last attack on Avril, the Jian family has paid special attention to the safety of their own family, so they thought of this way to quietly observe whether there is anything strange about the guests. After all, there are thousands of them. When guests gather together, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad, so you need to be careful.

Xia Fei didn't wear a corsage just now, and the men's evening dress sample was simple. It was only slightly different from the bodyguards' uniforms in texture and details. The Jian family was wealthy, and the bodyguards' uniforms were also high-quality goods with high prices. If It's difficult to tell the difference between the two without looking carefully, so it can be misunderstood.

Xia Fei and Thuram walked at the end, and the group slowly went up the escalator and went straight to the main venue at the top of the mountain.

Xia Fei behaved naturally as he shuttled among countless dignitaries. He seemed to be uninterested in who these people were and what their backgrounds were. He was mixed in the crowd, yet independent from the crowd.

The colorful decorations on the top of the mountain looked very festive, and there were too many plants that Xia Fei didn't recognize. There were none of these on the top of the mountain when he came last time. They should have been temporarily transplanted from elsewhere by the Jian family for this banquet.

A huge energy shield surrounded the top of the mountain. The mountain wind was very strong at night. After the energy shield was activated, the mountain became quiet, without even a breath of wind.

Countless waiters shuttled among the crowd bringing exquisite food and various drinks. Thuram ordered a glass of dark Hibernian ale, and Xia Fei brought a glass of light champagne.

Suddenly, Xia Fei felt someone behind him wanted to grab him. Out of instinctive reaction, he took a step to the side and saw a snow-white palm grabbing the air. Xia Fei was keenly aware of a faint ring on this hand. Traces of marks surrounded her wrist, as if she had been injured. Although she covered it up with a golden bracelet, it still could not escape Xia Fei's gaze.

Xia Fei turned his head curiously and saw that the girl standing at the foot of the mountain was still standing behind him. A few drops of champagne were splashed on her purple skirt, which must have been caused by Xia Fei's dodge.

"I was just looking for you, and then I..."

The girl suddenly choked up in the middle of her words, because Xia Fei also had a delicate butterfly orchid on his chest, which was exactly the same as the one on his chest. It was obvious that Xia Fei was not a bodyguard, but just like him. A guest of the Jian family.

Xia Fei smiled slightly and said, "Are the shoes still comfortable?"

The girl replied awkwardly: "Not bad."

"As long as it's comfortable." Xia Fei raised his wine glass to her and joked, "Actually, I'm not used to wearing high heels either."

"You must be used to wearing it." Thuram looked at Xia Fei and the girl and said, "What? You two have known each other for a long time?"

Xia Fei shook his head, "It doesn't count as acquaintance."

Thuram smiled and said: "Let me tell you, how could all the good things happen to you? This is Nicole Sawyer, the chairman of Gaia Company. Nicole, this is Xia Fei."

Xia Fei was slightly startled. How could this girl be less than twenty years old? She was actually the chairman of Gaia Heavy Industry Group, one of the four major warship companies?

"How are you, sir?" Thuram asked.

Nicole nodded and smoothed the brown hair with her hand, "Fortunately, his body has recovered more than half. If the doctor hadn't stopped him, he would have gone back to the company to work."

Thuram laughed and said: "This guy, wouldn't it be nice to leave the company to you to manage? Why not enjoy the comfort at home rather than running around all day? Besides, the company has done very well in the two months since you took office, so let that person Retire in peace, old man.”

Nicole covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled: "Uncle Thuram is really good at joking. It would be great if my father was half as free and easy as you. I just started working in the company and I still don't understand many things. Please take care of me." My little niece.”

Thuram said: "You actually picked up the good news and said that the price of the last batch of King's Throne class ordered from your company actually increased by 5%. I see, you can do more business than your old man."

Nicole said calmly: "It's not like you don't know that this price increase is due to the sharp increase in the price of analog silver. We are only the third company among the four companies to raise prices. I tell you quietly that there have been The good stuff is going offline, I’ll deliver it to you personally in a few days.”

Thuram was startled, "Is that what you're talking about?"

Nicole made a silent gesture, "Uncle Thuram, it's good that you know it yourself. I was the first to inform you, and the military department is still behind you."

Thuram beamed, as if what Nicole said made him very excited, "Well, this is like doing business. Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never lose anything to your company."

Xia Fei suddenly discovered that this girl was young but very scheming. She was impeccable in her words and deeds. In just a few words, she eliminated the impact of the last price increase and made Thuram laugh. This shows that she is by no means a simple person. characters.

Someone came up to talk to Thuram again. Since Xia Fei didn't know anyone, he retreated to a secluded place and leaned on the railing to look at the valley.

"This is where you saved Avril Jane from the gangsters last time?" Nicole took the initiative to come up and said.

Xia Fei frowned, "How did you know about this?"

Nicole took a sip of wine and said, "Our circle is not big even if it is small. There are some things that you can't hide even if you want to. I heard that you were seriously injured because of this?"

Xia Fei lit up a cigarette. This time Nicole didn't say anything, nor did she force him to put out the cigarette. "You said yourself that this circle is not big, so why did Miss Nicole ask knowingly?"

Xia Fei returned the question with one sentence.

Nicole looked at Xia Fei with a strange look, "You like Avril very much? Otherwise, you wouldn't choose to risk your life."

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Believe me, there are some things that you don't need to choose, because there is no choice at all."

Nicole's face suddenly turned a little pale, and she said to herself: "Avril is so lucky."

Xia Fei spread his arms helplessly, "I wouldn't praise a person who was almost kidnapped for his good luck."

Nicole seemed very disappointed for some reason. Xia Fei looked at her wrist again and saw that she had a bracelet on one hand and a silk handkerchief on the other. It seemed that she deliberately covered her wrist. Xia Fei guessed There should be scars on both of her hands. Judging from the color and state of the marks, they should have been from childhood.

"Yes, being kidnapped is indeed not good luck." Nicole said calmly. She raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp, then called the waiter to get a full glass.

"I'm going over to socialize, and I'll tell you something to repay you for helping me modify my shoes before." Nicole glanced at the crowd and whispered: "Because of your relationship with Avril, some people tonight may not Make you so proud.”

After saying that, Nicole walked into the crowd with a cheerful face, and dealt with the old guys very skillfully, as if she was at ease.

"It's not good for you? Could it be Li Mo again?" Ghosting asked.

Xia Fei blew out a smoke ring, looking for Avril's figure in the crowd, and said lightly: "Now that they are here, let them be in peace. Just let them come here."

There are more and more people. According to the habits of the upper class, the drinking party usually does not start until twelve o'clock in the evening. After all, these rich people do not need to get up early to work tomorrow, and the nightlife usually lasts until early morning.

Avril never showed up, and even Pang Xing was nowhere to be seen. Xia Fei sat alone in a hidden corner, quietly drinking the champagne in his hand and smoking a cigarette.

For him, the only expectation in this upper-class cocktail party is Avril. Even her grandfather Sean is just a supporting role. As for the strangers in front of him, they are not even supporting roles.

At this time, the crowd suddenly moved out of the way and allowed three soldiers in general uniforms to come over. Xia Fei took a closer look and saw that the people who came were actually the three giants of the military. Not only Leiden and Williamson were there, but also the usual Tai, who has never seen the end of a dragon, is here too.

Xia Fei has studied many details of the three giants of the military. After all, this time Quantum Company attacks the military's first-level supplier list, all depends on the faces of these three. Leiden and Williamson have been in contact with Xia Fei for a long time, but Taizhen is the first See, the fact that he was able to attend the Jian family's birthday party in person shows the great influence of the Avril family.

There are almost all the famous and famous families in the business world. The Jian family is originally a businessman, so it is normal for these people to give face to them. However, the appearance of the three dignitary giants of the military department is very intriguing. Xia Fei thinks that maybe the military department needs to communicate most of the time. Relying on Starlink's lines, although the Jian family did not carry the brand of the military's first-level supplier, it was the most favorable guarantee for military communications, which is why they paid so much attention to Sean's birthday party.

Since ancient times, merchants have been dwarfed when meeting officials. Even the highly advanced Pan-Human Alliance is no exception. The appearance of the three military giants directly set off the whole audience. Everyone greeted them politely, and many people even brought With a hint of humility.

Xia Fei continued to drink and did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation with them. It was not that he was arrogant, but there were too many people around and it was difficult to squeeze in.

The three people smiled and walked around in the crowd. Williamson's sharp eyes spotted Xia Fei in the distance. He pulled Tai's sleeve, and the three people walked towards the corner, seemingly heading towards Xia Fei.

Before anyone arrived, Tai looked at Xia Fei several times from top to bottom. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon, but Xia Fei didn't feel anything strange. He had already tried all kinds of looks, no matter what. Whether it is contempt, admiration, or murderousness, we have long been accustomed to it.

Some soft surprises and questions came from the crowd. Everyone gathered around the three generals to greet them. Many merchants who thought they were very powerful were ignored by Tai, but the three of them actually took the initiative to find Xia Fei in the corner?

You must know that this is a standard upper-class banquet, and Xia Fei is just a nobody, and he is not considered to be an upper-class person in the alliance anyway.

"Xia Fei, this is the Minister of Military Affairs, a six-star general from the Alliance," Williamson introduced Xia Fei with a smile.

Tai stretched out his hand and shook it with Xia Fei. Thick calluses covered Tai's palm. Xia Fei felt that what he was holding was not a hand, but a huge iron pliers, hard and full of strength.

"Xia Fei? The absolute controlling shareholder of Quantum Company? The master of the energy shield amplifier?" Tai asked in a deep voice. This attitude was less like chatting and more like a question.

Xia Fei nodded, "Exactly, General Tai, nice to meet you."

There were many people around and the voices were noisy. Tai frowned and said, "Find a secluded place. I have a few questions to ask you."

Xia Fei expressed his willingness to accompany him, so the two of them entered the Jian family's mansion one after another.

People were shocked and speculated whether Xia Fei had any personal relationship with Tai.

Thuram walked over from a distance curiously, "General Tai, do you have anything to do with Xia Fei?"

Williamson picked up a glass of sweet wine and said with a smile: "Tai's habit is that every supplier in the military department has been called into the office by Tai to have a private chat. Only Tai himself knows what was discussed."

Thuram was startled, "So the energy shield amplifier is already..."

Williamson said slyly: "I didn't say anything, and you don't know anything. Everything still needs to be approved by Congress."
