As soon as Cao Ke said this, the two people following behind him also laughed out loud.
Only then did Li Nan see that the two people behind Cao Ke were none other than his cousin Li Man Man and his cousin Li Hong.
Although Cao Ke and Li Man Man were much more distant from each other in terms of kinship, they were closer to Cao Ke than Li Nan because Li Man Man and Li Hong had had some business dealings with him before.
To put it plainly, it was because the previous Li Nan was poorer and his status level was not on the same level as Cao Ke’s and Li Man Man’s, so he was not well received by them.
This time, Cao Ke also took this opportunity to entertain Li Nan and called Li Man Man and Li Hong over as well.
“No wonder my dad and mum said that I should learn more from you, cousin, you even drive a BMW 8 series, it’s really impressive,” Cao Ke said with a smile as he looked at Li Nan’s car.
When Cao Ke finished speaking, Li Man Man, who was at the side, laughed coldly and then said in a sinister manner, “Haha, Cao Ke, you’re too proud of him. Some people like to pretend to be a tiger and take a chicken feather as an arrow, I think this car is just for him to drive.”
Last time, because of the lease renewal of Tianhong Golden Street, Li Man Man and Li Hong had suffered a lot from Li Nan, and Li Man Man was even forced to kneel and kowtow to Li Nan, so Li Man Man had all these grudges in her heart, so she had resentment towards Li Nan and started to dislike him.
“As far as I know, Li Nan is just an errand boy for the big boss, just pulling the skin of a tiger to make a big banner.
Previously, Lai Hong was still scornful of Lai Nan because he had to beg him, but now, he had already obtained the contract for the lease renewal, so he dared to call out to Lai Nan without fear.
At this moment, when Cao Ke saw that Li Man Man and Li Hong had taken a dislike to Li Nan, he was very satisfied.
In fact, the reason why Cao Ke had called Lai Man Man and Lai Hong over here was to use their hands to combat Lai Nan’s anger.
Looking at the current situation, Cao Ke felt that he had acted very wisely
“Look at you two, I know you have some problems with Li Nan, but we are all relatives after all, so it’s better to make peace.” Although Cao Ke was already happy to see Li Nan being squeezed, he was still smiling and pretending to be a good person on the surface.
Li Nan was not stupid, and naturally he could see that this Cao Ke seemed to be just putting on a show.
If Li Nan were in his temper, he wouldn’t be in the mood to waste time with people like Cao Ke and Li Man Man, but this was after all a party that his mother wanted, and his sister Li Xue was also looking forward to this party, so Li Nan couldn’t say anything more for a while.
“Brother Cao is still broad-minded, unlike some people who are poor and rich at first and don’t know how old they are when they have a little power” Li Hong praised Cao Ke, while not forgetting to continue to step on Li Nan.
“By the way, Brother Cao, I heard that your company has another film to be made recently and you are going to be the director, right?” asked Lai Hong, suddenly thinking of something.
“What, brother Cao Ke, is it true that you’re really going to be a director”, a look of admiration appeared on his sister Li Xue’s face at once.
After all, Li Xue was still just a high school girl, and was still very interested in movies and television and entertainment and star-chasing.
“Oh, yes, there is a movie that wants me to be the director, and I heard that the main actors will be chosen from the first and second tier stars, but I’ve been quite busy lately, so I haven’t thought about going yet.” Cao Ke spoke modestly, but his face was indescribably smug.
Hearing Cao Ke say this, Li Man Man and Li Hong were even more admiring of Cao Ke, and even Li Xue’s eyes were shining brightly.
After all, words like film, director and first-rate star were all very high-sounding to them, ordinary people.
Li Nan also knew before that this cousin of his, it seemed, was indeed in an entertainment company, only that Li Nan did not expect that the other party could really become a director now, which did make Li Nan feel a little surprised.
However, it was just an accident, as for worship
What a joke, a mere film director is nothing in Li Nan’s case.
With Li Nan’s current ability, if he could just take out billions of dollars and say that he wanted to invest in a movie, there was no telling how many big directors and first-tier stars would be begging to work with him.
Therefore, Cao Ke’s intangible show-off was not even a fart in Li Nan’s eyes.
“In fact, I asked you all to come here today because I want to open your eyes.” Cao Ke said smugly. “The Shangri-La’s wine party, you all should have heard of it, right?”
“Of course, those who can hold a C*cktail party at Shangri-La are the real high cla*s people of this Dragon City,” Li Man Man looked like she knew a lot about it.
Then, Li Man Man suddenly realised something and looked at Cao Ke with wide eyes.
“Wait, Cao Ke, this time, you’re not going to take us to Shangri-La’s reception, are you?” said Li Man Man incredulously.
You know, coming to Shangri-La for dinner and coming to a C*cktail party are two completely different concepts!
As long as you have some money, you can come to Shangri-La for dinner, but to attend a reception here, you don’t just need to have money, you need to have status.
Only those who are invited and have a certain status are eligible to attend the receptions at Shangri-La, so being able to attend the receptions at Shangri-La is seen by many as a symbol of entering the upper cla*s circle.
Li Man Man didn’t think that she would have such an opportunity
“That’s right, what I’m taking you to today is the Shangri-La’s Lawn Reception”, Cao Ke said smugly.
“I can’t believe it’s still a lawn reception” Li Man Man and Li Hong were both surprised.
The most common one is the lobby reception held inside the hotel, while the lawn reception is one level higher than the lobby reception, the second level of Shangri-La’s receptions.
“Aren’t all Shangri-La’s receptions held on the rooftop?” since the last one he attended was the rooftop reception, he asked out of the blue without thinking.
But Lai Nan didn’t expect that the moment he said this, he would immediately be met with contempt by Li Man Man and the others.
“Do you know what level the Shangri-La’s rooftop reception is? Those who can attend the rooftop reception are all the real elites of the upper echelons of Dragon City, the big shots. “Li Manman clasped her hands in front of her body, her face filled with a contemptuous sneer.
“That’s right, for someone of your level, it’s already a blessing in your life that Brother Cao can bring you to a lawn reception to meet the world, and you still want to attend a rooftop reception of that level, you really think highly of yourself” Li Hong also had a disdainful look on his face.
Although Cao Ke did not say anything, the expression on his face said it all.
In Cao Ke’s opinion, this cousin of his was really ignorant enough, he didn’t even know what level the lawn wine party was, but he still dared to covet the rooftop wine party, this was just like a beggar who didn’t even have a hundred dollars in his hand, but still had to set a small goal for himself, to earn him a hundred million first, it was simply to make people laugh off.
At this time, Li Nan, on the other hand, was somewhat innocent.
Li Nan originally thought that Shangri-La’s receptions were held on the rooftop, but he didn’t expect that there would be such a hierarchical division.
Only now did Li Nan understand that Han Qin had some power in the upper circles of Dragon City, and that he had made a good living at the rooftop C*cktail party.
Li Nan didn’t have too much to explain about Li Man Man and Li Hong’s disdain for them.
He was just curious to know how they would feel if they knew that he had not only attended the rooftop reception, which they could only look up to, but had also been a popular figure at that reception.
