Chapter 201: Xia Nuannuan

~7 min read 1,384 words

After entering August, classmates around started to hold graduation banquets one after another.

Usually, it was only when the results were relatively good that parents would hold this grandly.

Sending out invitations to relatives and friends at home, as well as classmates and teachers who had a good relationship with the child, the purpose was to celebrate the child's admission to university, and also to specifically thank the teacher for their education.

Of course, in recent years, graduation banquets in many places have been ruined by parents.

Some parents, regardless of whether their child did well or poorly, even if they were admitted to a junior college, would hold one, mainly aiming at the gift money.

A lot of gift money was collected, but they didn't think about how awkward their own child would be.

All relatives, friends, classmates, and teachers gathered together, and since it was a celebration banquet, it was inevitable to discuss the college entrance examination scores.

As a result, for candidates who did very poorly but were forced to be the protagonists at the graduation banquet, it could be called a large-scale social death scene.

In Yucheng, the custom of graduation banquets was still quite good; if a child did poorly, parents wouldn't lose face like that for money.

For example, Zhang Peng, although he was admitted to an undergraduate program, which was a very good result for him, his father didn't intend to hold this graduation banquet for him.

Xia Nuannuan's graduation banquet was scheduled for August 15th.

She didn't really want to hold it, but her father wouldn't agree no matter what.

With Old Xia's net worth, he certainly wouldn't hold this for that little bit of gift money; he just couldn't let go of this opportunity to show off since his daughter had done so well.

Don't treat Jiang University as not a top university!

You know, among the relatives and friends around Old Xia, no child in their family had ever been admitted to such a good university.

Qin Tian also found an opportunity to propose to his mother to return to his hometown and let his grandparents help hold his graduation banquet.

After all, he was a piece of flesh that fell off her body, and Tang Xiuxia guessed her son's thoughts at a glance, and after serious consideration, she agreed.

One was that she was very pleased with her son's idea of wanting to win some face for her.

The other was that she also wanted her elderly parents in her hometown, her son's grandparents, to be happy and glorious for once.

After the decision, the mother and son quickly discussed the date of the graduation banquet, which was set for August 20th.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 15th.

Xia Nuannuan's graduation banquet was held at the best hotel in Yucheng.

Not only that, Old Xia also specially had high-end seafood ingredients that were hard to find in Yucheng transported in.

The key was that Old Xia was very generous and waived all the gift money from relatives and friends, clearly stating that anyone who came with gift money was looking down on him, Old Xia, and wouldn't be allowed in the door.

Qin Tian arrived at the hotel around 10:30 and met up with Zhang Peng and the others in the hotel lobby.

"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, what kind of business does Nuannuan's family do? This setup today is a bit big, I feel a bit guilty!"

Zhang Peng said in a low voice.

Tian Jiajia and the other girls beside him also pricked up their ears curiously upon hearing this.

Qin Tian didn't hide it either, and said with a smile: "Catering business, you can search for the four words 'Dragon Palace Seafood' online and you'll know."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng and the others hurriedly took out their phones to search for the keywords.

Soon, looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.

"My goodness, I thought she was a little rich girl, it turns out she's a wealthy daughter of a rich family!"

Liao Juan exclaimed in a low voice.

"Looking at the cars parked outside just now, I actually guessed a little bit."

Class Monitor Mu Nan said with emotion.

Others nodded in agreement in a daze upon hearing this.

Today, this best hotel in Yucheng had been booked out.

Outside the hotel, various luxury cars were already parked, any one of which was worth over a million, and looking at the license plates, one could tell that many had come specially from other provinces.

"You guys have all arrived!"

A familiar voice came.

Several people looked in the direction of the sound, and after seeing who it was, looks of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Old Li, you finally came, without you sitting in charge, we wouldn't dare to go up!"

Zhang Peng said with a smile.

The person who came was none other than their Class 10 head teacher, Li Yanwang.

Old Li glared at him and asked with a straight face: "What Old Li? We've graduated, so you're being disrespectful to me, right? A teacher for a day is a father for life, do you understand?"

"Hehe... Teacher Li, why can't you take a joke!"

Zhang Peng laughed cheaply.

Qin Tian and the others greeted Old Li one after another.

Old Li obviously also noticed that the setup of this graduation banquet today was a bit big, and asked Qin Tian curiously about Xia Nuannuan's family situation.

Upon learning that the parent of this student was actually a tycoon with a net worth of billions, a look of nervousness flashed deep in Old Li's eyes.

Of course, on the surface, Old Li still had a calm expression and said: "Let's go, since we've all arrived, let's go up together!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and followed him toward the elevator.

"Brother Tian, look at that beauty over there."

Zhang Peng suddenly widened his eyes and shouted.

Everyone followed his gaze to the hotel entrance and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly, dressed like a successful person, being held by a beautiful woman much younger than him, walking into the hotel together.

"Isn't this the one who acted in that TV series? What was it called!"

Cui Ying frowned and pondered.

Qiu Man beside her opened her eyes slightly and said the name of the TV series.

Everyone suddenly realized.

That was a very popular costume palace drama from two years ago, and the woman had played a supporting role with quite a few scenes in it.

Unexpectedly, she actually saw the real person here.

"This is my first time seeing a celebrity!"

Zhang Peng said excitedly.

"Alright, stop looking like that!"

Old Li said in a low voice.

Everyone also realized that this was impolite and immediately shifted their gaze.

As it happened, the two of them entered the elevator a few steps behind them.

"Baby, which floor were we supposed to go to?"

The man turned his head and asked his female companion.

"You suddenly asked me to come, how would I know!"

The woman was playing with her phone, answering indifferently.

She was in a bit of a bad mood.

She originally thought she would never return to this kind of small place in her life, but she was forced to come to participate in this so-called graduation banquet.

"What do you mean?"

The man frowned and questioned.

The woman's fingers playing with the phone stopped, and she looked at him with a charming little face.

"Honey, I was wrong, don't be angry, I was just chatting with my sisters!"

At this time, the elevator door had already closed.

Qin Tian had already pressed the floor number where the banquet hall was located, and the elevator slowly moved upward.

Tian Jiajia and the other girls, listening to the conversation between the two in front, were communicating with their eyes quickly.

"Excuse me, are you here to attend the graduation banquet?"

Qin Tian suddenly asked.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes in the elevator fell on him in unison.

Including Li Yanwang, who had been brewing for a long time and was just about to speak, but was beaten to it. ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
