Chapter 147: Gift for Adults (2)
Although she was chatting and laughing with Miss He, Fang Luoyi was still quite nervous.
Even the makeup artist who did her makeup could notice it.
Miss He, who was more mentally mature, had naturally discovered clues from Fang Luoyi's expression and body movements a long time ago.
"Yiyi, don't be nervous. Take a few deep breaths and treat this banquet as the last reception."
"Who said I was nervous? I'm not nervous at all. Okay, Atong, I am a little nervous."
Lu Qiaoling, who was sitting on the sofa behind the two of them, had been listening to the conversation between her daughter and her best friend without interrupting. When she heard her daughter's words, a smile appeared on her face.
“Follow me and breathe in and out.”
Fang Luoyi cooperated with Miss He and did some stress-relieving activities, which helped her calm down a little.
"When you go downstairs, smile at everyone you see, no matter if you know them or not. They won't blame you if you don't speak."
"Also, you can imagine them as sheep. When you meet one, just silently say one sheep, two sheep in your heart."
"Hehe, Atong, did you do the same thing last year?"
"Haha, almost. I've tried it myself and it works."
Miss He said this purely to comfort her best friend. Her father had been introducing her to various people since she was young, and she no longer had stage fright a long time ago.
Fang Luoyi was inspired by her encouragement and said to herself, "Yiyi, you can do it. You can definitely do it!"
Takakura Miki, who was sitting next to Lu Qiaoling, listened to the conversation between the two rich girls with some envy.
She came from what could only be considered a middle-class family in Neon, and she spent her 18th birthday ceremony at school with many classmates. The ceremony was nowhere near as grand and solemn as Fang Luoyi's.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet recording team sent by TVB arrived at the hotel.
Ever since the news broke that Mr. Fang was going to hold the most lavish coming-of-age ceremony in Hong Kong for his sister,
Fang Yihua made up her mind to obtain the exclusive filming rights on the scene.
After all, Fang Hexuan is also a TVB shareholder. Sister Hua easily got it done with just one phone call.
Fang Yihua was also educated by the news on New Year's Eve this year.
The richest man was surrounded by enthusiastic citizens in Temple Street, which made many people eat melons.
It also made people who are sensitive to information suddenly realize that Fang Hexuan is so popular in Hong Kong.
In the past, you may have vaguely known that many people in Hong Kong like this tall, young, handsome and rich richest man.
But I didn't form a clear impression in my mind.
Ever since that incident, Fang Yihua instructed TVB News Department to get any information about Fang Hexuan as soon as possible.
The sister of Mr. Fang, the richest man, held a coming-of-age ceremony for her birthday, which also attracted a large number of Hong Kong people's curiosity and interest.
They just want to know what the coming-of-age ceremony of the richest man’s family looks like.
Not only TVB was dispatched, but Fang Hexuan's Oriental Daily and South China Morning Post also arrived soon after.
Even Jin Yong's Ming Pao and Hu Xian's Sing Tao Daily successfully "sneaked into" the scene by leveraging the relationships of their respective bosses.
Starting at five o'clock, high-end cars drove into the Hilton Hotel one after another.
You Bingwen and Fang Hexuan, the presidents of several companies, were waiting for the guests at the entrance of the hall.
Thanks to the eldest princess, several companies owned by the richest man are closed this Friday afternoon.
But the employees are on vacation, and the executives are not stupid. This is naturally a good opportunity to show off in front of the boss.
Fang Hexuan rubbed his nose and acquiesced to their kindness, all for the sake of making his sister happy.
By half past five, quite a few people were already standing at the hotel's reception area. A casual glance revealed the faces of many bigwigs. Fang Hexuan, the landlord, also showed up, accompanied by Chow Liang Suk-yee, Chiang Kwok-yung, and Huo Jianning.
When I meet someone I know, I shake hands and hug them, especially the uncles and cousins from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Hometown Association.
As for the bigwigs of the two major chambers of commerce, Chaoshan and Dongguan, Jiang Guoyong was needed to act as a go-between. They didn't know each other before, but after some greetings and nodding, they became new friends.
After three years as president of DreamWorks, Selina Chow has been thinking about stepping down and entering politics.
She had already told her boss Fang Hexuan about this in advance, what else could the richest man say?
Everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced.
Since she wanted to go into politics, Zhou Liangsuyi naturally started preparing a long time ago. At least, she knew many Hong Kong government officials and even foreign officials in Hong Kong, and she also read a lot of information.
It was thanks to her smooth introduction that Fang Hexuan was able to chat with these foreigners smoothly.
I have to say that talented people are talented wherever they go, and the ability of this strong woman, Selina Chow, is really beyond doubt.
At six o'clock, most of the invited guests had arrived, and everyone was drinking champagne and chatting in groups of three or four, and the atmosphere was very lively.
At half past six, the coming-of-age ceremony banquet officially began, proceeding step by step according to the pre-determined process.
As the top official of the Hong Kong government, MacLehose was naturally requested by Mr. Fang to give a speech to congratulate him at the banquet.
Then, the American Consul General followed Governor Mac to the stage and delivered a speech and blessing.
Afterwards, Pao Yue-kong, the most famous boss of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Hometown Association, also gave a passionate speech of congratulations.
Of course, Fang Hexuan, the host and organizer, also expressed his expectations for his sister and his gratitude to all the guests present at the last moment.
After all the speeches were over, Fang Luoyi slowly walked in from outside the banquet hall, surrounded by hundreds of female classmates.
These female classmates were all wearing evening gowns, which formed a sharp match with Fang Luoyi's princess dress.
TVB's cameras and the cameras on the scene were immediately aimed at them, and only the sound of "clicking" of flash lights could be heard.
Following the rhythm of soothing music, Fang Luoyi, with the help of Miss He, the "etiquette lady", walked to the center of the stage.
Then, two hotel etiquette ladies walked out from behind the stage, one of them holding a tray with a "golden crown of tree branches", and the other holding a "princess scepter" similar to a magic wand in both hands.
Murray MacLehose was invited to the stage again, and he personally put the golden crown on Fang Luoyi, and he also "bestowed" the "princess scepter" tonight's protagonist.
After the ceremony, there was warm applause.
Next, Fang Hexuan, the older brother, led his younger sister in a dance.
In order to practice this dance, the brother and sister practiced it specially during the Chinese New Year.
But at that time, Fang Luoyi had no idea that it was prepared for her coming-of-age ceremony.
The dance is over, and the highlight is here.
In front of thousands of people at the banquet, Fang Hexuan personally presented his sister with three adult gifts.
1. The recruitment letter was written personally by the president of Harvard University, and the content naturally expressed the expectation that Miss Fang would study at the school in the second half of the year.
Second, a red convertible Ferrari 308, a limited edition with only 10 units in the world that has not yet been released, and a white thoroughbred horse.
66. A Watsons employee ID card No. .
