Chapter 495 Lou Family Dinner
The next day.

Early in the morning, a jeep drove straight to the transport team and found Li Kailang directly.

"Master Li, you must be invited to attend today's dinner. The master and the young lady hope to see you at the dinner. Please accept the invitation."

Li Kailang looked at Lao Bai in front of him, Lou Zhenhua's driver, and then looked down at the invitation he handed over.

Li Kailang is still confused as he was caught off guard by the invitation.

"Director Lou invited me to a dinner party? You're right, Director Lou invited me to a dinner party. Would it be inappropriate for me to go there?"

Li Kailang is aware of his current situation. As long as he does not expose his system, he is just an ordinary person.

He and Lou Zhenhua are not on the same level in terms of class and status. Although their relationship is okay in private, it is indeed not good enough in public.

Besides, if you want him to attend, you can just say it, there is no need to send a special invitation.

"No, it's not inappropriate. You were specially invited by the master and the young lady to attend. You are not an irrelevant person. Please do me the honor of attending."

Lao Bai also didn't understand why the Lou family suddenly invited an ordinary driver to the dinner party.

But he is a servant and won't ask too many questions.

Li Kailang looked at the invitation and thought about it. He felt that since he had nothing to do in the evening, it would be fine for him to attend.

"Okay, I accept the invitation. I will attend the dinner on time."

"Ok."

After that, the driver left straight away, as if he really came to the steel mill to deliver an invitation to Li Kailang.

Li Kailang looked at the invitation, left and right, "I have to say, this invitation is quite nicely made, and looks quite luxurious."

The invitation was a palm-sized card with a gold border around it. Of course, it wasn't real gold, just golden pigment.

"It's my first time attending this dinner, and I don't know what it's about. I'll just go and take a look and broaden my horizons."

After get off work, Li Kailang deliberately put on a clean and neat Zhongshan suit.

Li Kailang rarely wears this dress. He basically never wears it unless it is an important matter. It just sits there and waits for it to gather dust.

After tidying up carefully, Li Kailang looked at himself in the mirror and posed deliberately.

"You know what, this handsome boy in front of me is quite handsome, worthy of being the Wu Yanzu of the four-nine cities and the triple Andy Lau!"

After showing off for a while, Li Kailang looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time to set off."

Riding his bicycle, Li Kailang arrived at the address on the invitation.

A private restaurant, far away from the downtown.

"Oh my goodness, there are so many people here."

Outside the restaurant, there were cars parked outside, and one bald, beautiful woman after another got out of the cars.

Oh no, it's the rich man and his wife.

As soon as he got out of the car, the servant showed the invitation to the guard, who checked it and let him in.

Li Kailang sighed: "Lou Zhenhua is really rich and powerful. He directly booked the restaurant. How generous."

The more Li Kailang looked at it, the more he felt that he was really not suitable to come.

But: "Since we are here, what's the harm in going in? It won't hurt anything. It's not like there are any dangers. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Thinking of this, Li Kailang held his head high and walked straight over with big strides.

He took out the invitation and let him in immediately.

"It's quite magnificent." Li Kailang looked around the interior of the restaurant, which had Western-style decorations.

There are long tables about four or five meters long on both sides, on which are placed various dim sum and snacks, but the quantity is not much or large.

It mainly consists of alcohol and drinks, and there is not much food that Li can eat.

"It seems that Lou Zhenhua was also affected by the food, or he didn't display it in a large scale to prevent someone from taking advantage of it."

As for the reason, only Lou Zhenhua himself knows, or maybe it's both.

Seeing that no one was looking at him, Li Kailang decided to walk around and see what was different about this restaurant.

"There's actually a movie to watch." Walking into a room, Li Kailang discovered that a movie was playing inside and a group of children were watching it intently.

"Li Kailang?" Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard.

"Xu Damao?" Li Kailang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Damao standing behind the projector.

"Why are you here?" they both asked in unison.

"I was invited here."

“I’m here to show a movie.”

Xu Damao immediately looked at Li Kailang with envy, "What is your relationship with Director Lou? How did you get invited here? How did you do it?"

Li Kailang spread his hands and said, "How would I know why he invited me here? I was just about to ask you, this is the Lou family's dinner party, why did they invite you here?"

Li Kailang knew about the troubles between Xu's mother and the Lou family, and was surprised that Xu Damao could come.

Xu Damao explained, "Hey, I didn't know about this until I came here. I was hired by the restaurant to do some work. If I had known it was about the Lou family, I would not have come a long time ago."

"So that's how it is. You work for the restaurant." Li Kailang suddenly realized, "That's right. If the restaurant knew about you, they would definitely not invite you."

The restaurant didn't know about the affairs of the Xu and Lou families, and it was not a good idea to make this public. It couldn't let everyone know.

A nanny in his Lou family actually set her sights on the eldest daughter. If this had happened before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Xu family would have been wiped out long ago.

In other words, it is a new era now and it is not a good idea to do this.

"By the way, why are you here? This projector is the factory's asset. Does the factory know that you are working here?"

"Don't worry, I'm just making a little money, it won't be a problem. Besides, this projector doesn't belong to the factory, but to the restaurant. Even if they find out, the factory won't do anything to me."

Xu Damao had a very confident attitude, and it was obvious that he had done a very thorough job and would not leave any room for anyone to use any evidence against him.

"It seems that the little money you earn is quite a lot."

"Hehe, it's indeed a lot, enough to cover my three-month salary."

The salary for March is at least 100 yuan, which is extra money. Considering Xu Damao is so broke now, how could he refuse it?

"Okay, let's stop chatting here and go out for a drink?"

"Row."

Xu Damao had tried the drinks outside a long time ago, but he was embarrassed because he was here to work.

But since Li Kailang is here, why not try it? When asked, just say you are here to drink with him.

"Try this. I've been eyeing it for a long time, but I've never tasted anything foreign." Xu Damao took out the red wine he had been coveting and poured two glasses.

Seeing Xu Damao trying to fill up the goblet, Li Kailang hurriedly stopped him: "That's enough, just taste it, you still want to fill it up."

"You haven't even drunk anything. What if you vomit? It's the Lou family's dinner party. You drank too much. Aren't you just looking for trouble by acting crazy?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, "That's true, then pour less."

He poured half of the wine glass for himself and wanted to pour the other half for Li Kailang.

Li Kailang took it directly and poured out the bottom, just for the sake of his gesture.

"This little amount is not enough to drink. Pour more." Xu Damao said, holding the red wine and wanting to pour it for him.

"No, that's enough. You dare to drink so much without even trying the red wine. If you vomit all over the floor, how are you going to clean it up?"

"Is it that serious? It's all alcohol, isn't it just a little red?"

Seeing Li Kailang's serious expression, Xu Damao felt a little frightened.

"You'll know if you take a sip." After saying that, Li Kailang took a small sip and immediately showed a bitter face.

“It’s really bitter.”

Seeing Li Kailang's expression, Xu Damao followed suit and took a small sip.

"Ugh~"

"Don't spit it out, swallow it!" Li Kailang ordered. He didn't want to ruin Lou Zhenhua's dinner because of such a trivial matter.

'Um! ’

Xu Damao forced himself to swallow it, cursing, "It's so damn hard to drink. What kind of wine is this? It's so hard to drink."

"I told you a long time ago that you dared to pour so much without even tasting it. I thought you were very patient." Li Kailang laughed sarcastically. "No more, no more." Xu Damao waved his hand, looking at the red wine in his hand, not wanting to drink it at all.

"Then find an empty place to dump it, so no one can see it."

Xu Damao took the wine glass and left stealthily.

Li Kailang took a small sip leisurely. After trying it for the first time, he could now finish the drink calmly without blushing or getting nervous.

"Bang!" Suddenly, the lights in the banquet center dimmed.

"Snap!" Then a main light shines on the center.

"Thank you all for attending my Lou family's dinner."

Lou Zhenhua appeared in the center of the banquet, and the voice followed.

"There are no rules for this banquet. Everyone, eat and drink well."

Lou Zhenhua said a few simple words and the banquet began.

A band appeared and began to play a song with melodious voices.

Then, someone came to the center of the banquet and started dancing, just like in the TV drama.

"There are quite a lot of people here, all of them are wealthy people, and there are also many acquaintances."

Everyone came to the center of the banquet. Li Kailang looked at the number of people attending the banquet. There were at least dozens of people. Including children, wives, and servants, there were at least one or two hundred people.

In addition, Li Kailang noticed that those attending the conference were basically wealthy people, capitalists and other businessmen, and there was not a single government official.

Obviously this banquet was a banquet among businessmen.

Li Kailang also saw the connection that Mr. Hua introduced to him, the master craftsman who taught him how to make wine.

It's a pity that all the connections he worked so hard to give to him before his death have not been used at all so far.

Mr. Hua had anticipated this. After all, Li Kailang was a driver and did not need to rely on alcohol to make a living.

"I forgot their names. Whatever, if I can't remember them, I won't have any chance to meet them in the future anyway."

"Hey! Guess who I am?" Suddenly, Li Kailang's eyes turned black. It was not because the lights were turned off at the party, but because someone covered his eyes.

"Lou Xiao'e, it's you."

"How did you guess that?" Lou Xiao'e pouted and walked in front of Li Kailang.

You know what, the clothes Lou Xiao'e wore today were quite nice, a blue and white floral cheongsam, which suited her very well.

It would look better if it had a more curved shape, what a pity.

"This is nonsense. You were not at the Lou family's banquet. Besides, I don't know anyone else. Who else would dare to do this except you?"

"Ah, is it so easy to guess?" Lou Xiao'e was very unconvinced, but she had to be unconvinced.

Li Kailang didn't talk much about this topic. "By the way, why did your father hold this party?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "I don't know."

"You don't know? You are Director Lou's daughter, how could you not know?"

"What? Do I have to know?" Lou Xiao'e replied with her hands on her hips.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know." Li Kailang and Lou Xiao'e were just chatting idly on the side.

Not far away, Lou Zhenhua was holding a red wine glass and chatting with a few friends, and his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lou Xiaoe and Li Kailang.

Lou Zhenhua was helpless about his daughter. How could he follow her around and then lose her?

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Lou Zhenhua went over to say hello.

"Xiao Li, how are you? Are you used to it? This is your first time here, is there anything you are not used to?"

"It's okay, pretty much what I expected. There's nothing I'm not used to." Li Kailang replied.

The two chatted for a while, and the wealthy businessmen around Lou Zhenhua observed Li Kailang. He looked okay, but it was hard to tell whether he had any talent.

They didn't know this man, so how did he start chatting with Lou Zhenhua? And Lou Xiao'e was following him. Could there be some secret behind this?
"Old Lou, you haven't introduced us yet. Who is this gentleman?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, Bridge my brain." Lou Zhenhua slapped his head and introduced immediately.

"This is Li Kailang, the great inventor of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He invented two great inventions. I heard that these two inventions earned a lot of foreign exchange for our city."

"Old Sun, didn't the driver in your factory clamor to buy seat belts and brake water tanks? They were all invented by him."

"Great inventor, it's you!" Suddenly, one or two people suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect that our great inventor is so young. He is indeed very promising at a young age."

"Come to our factory when you have time, and I will introduce my factory to you in person."

"Old Sun, don't think we don't understand your thoughts. You are just envious of the great inventor."

Several wealthy people immediately joked with each other. They had heard of Li Kailang's name but had never met him.

They were not amazed at Li Kailang's youth and potential, but at the fact that his invention could make money and earn foreign exchange.

Someone looked at Li Kailang, then took Lou Xiaoe, and said, "Old Lou, you are a dishonest person. You were arranged so early."

"That's impossible." Lou Zhenhua waved his hands but didn't dare to admit it.

After chatting for a while, Lou Zhenhua had other guests to deal with, so he left first.

Lou Xiao'e had to go with them, but she stayed with her best friend.

"Xiao'e, do you like him?"

"That's impossible! I'm just very familiar with him. I want to go to college, how can I have a relationship with him?"

"You keep saying you want to go to college, but it's still a long way off. It's okay to talk about it before you go to school."

"No, falling in love will affect my grades, absolutely not." Lou Xiao'e still wanted to go to college.

Lou Zhenhua didn't tell her that his capitalist household registration meant he was destined to not be able to go to university.

As soon as Lou Zhenhua left, Li Kailang stayed in the corner and watched the banquet. From time to time, women and girls looked at him, but he pretended not to see them.

This dinner seemed to be just a simple dinner party. Everyone came here to eat, drink and chat. Nothing else happened.

Xu Damao was still playing the movie and did not come to find Li Kailang.

"This banquet is really unclear and meaningless. Li Kailang is watching like an outsider.

This dinner was somewhat fruitful. I got to see what a dinner between big businessmen is like, so I considered it as an eye-opener.

In essence, Li Kailang’s identity is not qualified. Although he is a great inventor, in their eyes, he is just a tool to make money.

Perhaps when Li Kailang takes out the two blueprints and then takes the lead in inventing it, the situation will change and these people will not be qualified to talk to him.

After all, by that time, Li Kailang might be a senior engineer, and perhaps the title of academician would not be out of reach.

By then, no businessmen will be qualified to talk to him.

The dinner lasted for three or four hours and finally ended.

"Li Kailang, let's go back together?" Xu Damao found Li Kailang.

"Okay, let's go."

Li Kailang and Xu Damao rode back to the yard together.

"How was the food? Although the snacks at this banquet were few, they were all from famous brands."

"You know what, it tastes pretty good. I was thinking of secretly packing some to eat back home, but unfortunately someone was watching me, so I couldn't do it."

"Hey, I hit it!"

"Ah? How did you fight?"

"I won't tell you!"

"Are we still brothers?"

"Who is your brother? Are you and I related by blood?"

Li Kailang and Xu Damao left with a lot of noise and fights.

Lou Zhenhua saw everyone off. He caught a glimpse of Li Kailang's back out of the corner of his eye. Then he looked at Lou Xiao'e, who was dressed gorgeously, and revealed an unspoken smile.
