Chapter 538 539, Annual Cocktail Party (23 more)
So in the next two days, all major families are actively preparing.
The time of the annual reception is set on January 6, which is three days after receiving the invitation letter.
The invitation letter stated that the family heads and their families were invited to attend. Therefore, it took the female family members two days to get a outfit and one day for maintenance.
The men are all focused on choosing gifts. For this first meeting, the masters are also desperate, in order to be able to take the lead in gift giving, fortunately, the Governor and his wife have a good impression in front of the Governor and his wife.
In order not to be compared by other families, the masters are digging their heads to collect treasures from all over the place, how expensive and how to get them.
——
January 6, the National Government.
For this annual reception, the entire house was decorated, of course, the focus is on the backyard.
Although it has always been called the backyard, in fact, this backyard is only a general term, and it does not mean that there is only one yard in the backyard.
In fact, the area of the backyard is wider than that of the front yard. The Zelings live in the main courtyard of the backyard. In addition, there are several large and small courtyards in the backyard.
The venue for this annual reception was set at the courtyard near the small garden. There was just a corridor connecting the two, so they were arranged together.
In this way, the area of the venue will be expanded, and the space for guests will be wider.
Earlier, Qin Yiling had taken care of the flowers in the small garden, and it was full of colorful flowers, which also added a beautiful landscape to this cool winter.
Fruit cakes are placed on the stone table in the small garden. It is worth mentioning that Qin Yiling also specially placed a phonograph in a corner of the small garden, playing melodious classical music.
In an instant, the entire small garden becomes more elegant, and at the same time it is full of a different kind of fun.
As for the courtyard, Qin Yiling directly designed the Western-style self-service afternoon tea party, because the time for inviting everyone to come this time is set from one to five in the afternoon.
Originally, she wanted to arrange a dinner party in the evening, but Yan Ze vetoed it. It's not a good time to rest in the big evening. What kind of party is there, and is it not cold in the winter night?
Yan Ze, as his wife's slave, didn't want his daughter-in-law to suffer at all.
So, this annual cocktail party was set up as an afternoon tea party. Of course, Qin Yiling still let people prepare a lot of meals.
The entire courtyard is surrounded by flowers and green leaves. The dazzling colors make the entire courtyard bright, and the surrounding area is decorated with pink-blue ribbons. Walking into the courtyard gives you a feeling of spring.
And around the courtyard, Qin Yiling also made people specially install heating panels, which always emits warmth, so that the whole courtyard is warm.
Since it is to deter Rongcheng’s ‘land-headed snake’, Qin Yiling certainly has to show his hand. Otherwise, how to demonstrate the authority of the Nationalist Government?
Anyway, there is a research institute under the name of the National Government, plus a Ministry of Industry and Technology. These are all engaged in industrial research and development. Besides, she doesn’t know many people who know her own way. There are opportunities to borrow.
Anyway, there will be more high-tech industrial products in the future, so let’s shock everyone first.
On both sides of the courtyard, there are two long wooden tables, decorated with beige floral tablecloths, on which are placed two tall vases with flower branches spread out.
The two large vases are placed on the dining table, which are much higher than any objects, so they are very eye-catching, but they are not obtrusive at all, on the contrary, there is a sense of elegance.
On the dining table, there are a lot of exquisite food, snacks, fruits, nuts, and wine bottles that look very expensive on the other side of the long table.
Why is it expensive to look at?
That's because the wine bottles are not placed directly on the dining table, but on two wooden shelves, which seems to be specially designed to hold the wine bottles.
Many wealthy people have also drunk red wine, but they have never seen such a way of playing with red wine.
Such a fiddling, it gives people a very high-grade feeling, and naturally feels that the price is more expensive.
Secondly, there is another reason. Nowadays, red wine has entered the sight of Chinese people. It is only because of foreigners' raising prices that the prices of foreign wines are generally high.
The red wine set by Qin Yiling is packed with two wooden grids, and there are more than 20 bottles, which does not include spare ones.
Of course, these red wines are indeed premium red wines, specially prepared by Qin Yiling.
Although there are many people who don’t taste red wine at all, and more often just to follow the trend, but even so, she doesn’t want to fool people with some inferior products, because that would be losing her value.
In addition to red wine, we also prepared some cocktails and champagne, followed by juice and tea.
Under the surrounding eaves, small round tables and chairs are placed so that everyone can rest or sit and talk.
Finally, at the door of the courtyard, a small stage was built, all decorated with flowers and wooden screens, and a banner was drawn above the stage: the year-end reception, celebrating the new year.
At this time, in front of the wooden screens on the stage, players are playing folk instruments, and the melodious music is slowly overflowing the entire courtyard.
In order to add a subtle stage effect, Qin Yiling also deliberately made a fog machine, which diffused from the flowers behind the stage.
The white mist is ethereal, like a lost fairyland.
Outside the courtyard, a long red carpet is laid, and there is also a sign-in area on the red carpet.
The tall wooden frame built a background wall, surrounded by dark red curtains, and then dotted with light-colored flowers.
Every guest who comes, first show the invitation letter to the staff to verify his identity, and then write his name on the sign-in wall.
At the same time, a cameraman was specially arranged at the sign-in office to take pictures for each guest.
Qin Yiling can guarantee that this trick will definitely bluff all the guests.
Walking on the red carpet, signing and taking photos.
Doesn't it make people feel that they are the focus of attention in a scene like this?
The effect she wants is that the scene is big, there are battles, and the novel and unique way of participating can definitely shake their little hearts and satisfy their vanity.
At the same time, it can also show from the side that the National Government attaches great importance to every guest.
——
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two female officers of the Propaganda and Liaison Department stood at the gate in decent dresses to greet the distinguished guests. This is also to show the welcome of their national government.
Today’s annual reception was not a private banquet for the Zeling couple. It was mainly held as a public family of the Nationalist Government, so it was not the home of the couple.
I feel a bit late, I will put three chapters first, and there will be a bit later
