Everyone burst into laughter.
Someone shouted at Li Shaoqiu, “Chairman Li, we ate noodles last year. This year, it’s watermelon?”
Li Shaoqiu looked at the person with a smile and said, “Considering that CEO Xia ate noodles last year until his stomach was bloated, we specially changed it to watermelon this year!”
‘The CEO Xia Li Shaoqiu was talking about was the CEO of the Xia Group, Xia Qinghuan’s father, Xia Tiancheng.
Xia Tiancheng stood at the side of the stage. He was dressed in a black suit and had gold-framed glasses on his nose bridge. He looked stable and dignified.
Hearing this, Xia Tiancheng couldn’t help but smile and respond, “Chairman Li, my stomach being bloated has nothing to do with eating noodles. I drank too much!”
“Hahaha…”
“CEO Xia, I see you drank a lot tonight.”
“Save your stomach. We’re waiting to see CEO Xia eat watermelon!”
“That’s right. After all, he’s the champion of the noodles competition last year. If he can get first place in the noodles competition, it’s even more so for watermelons, right?”
“Hahaha…”
Everyone spoke one after another, and the atmosphere was lively. Although Xia Tiancheng was the one who was teased, he was not angry at all. It was as if he was already used to everyone relaxing at a cocktail party with no worries.
Only Jian Ai listened to everyone in a daze.
At first, when she heard the words ‘eating watermelons,’ she thought she had heard wrongly, until she saw that there were five pieces of watermelon on every plate on the cart.
Only then did she believe that these big shots in Baiyun City were going to eat watermelon at the Langxing Gala!
Jian Ai’s imagination was limited. She could not imagine that these meticulous entrepreneurs in suits would play such a childish game.
However, the excitement in their eyes could not be fooled.
“Brother Wu Bi, is this a fixed segment for the Langxing Gala?” Jian Ai looked at Wu Bi and asked shamelessly.
‘Wu Bi smiled and nodded slightly. “The game segment is a tradition of the Langxing Gala. Because everyone is under a lot of work pressure, the goal of the Langxing Gala is to let everyone feel happy and relaxed on this day every year, so everyone is looking forward to it.”
“However, this is not just a game. You’ll understand later.”
Jian Ai nodded slightly when she heard this. She did not expect the Langxing Gala organized by Baiyun City’s Chamber of Commerce to have such a style. It surprised her.
Looking at the people around her, Jian Ai also looked forward to it.
At this moment, three more waiters carried items onto the stage.
One of the waiters was holding a huge sealed cardboard box, and the remaining two waiters were carrying a huge turntable.
The turntable seemed to be a game reward. Every column had a sum of money. The lowest was two million yuan, and the highest was twenty million yuan!
At this moment, Li Shaogiu had already introduced the rules of the game. “In the first round, I will draw lots to decide the candidates for the competition. If a lady is drawn and her body is not up to the game, others can replace her. The men can’t refuse to take part in the competition. Every round, three
people will compete at the same time. There are five watermelons on the plate. The fastest to finish eating them will be ranked first, and they can spin the lucky wheel once!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shaoqiu reached into the sealed cardboard box and took out the first name card.
Li Shaoqiu couldn’t help but laugh… “The CEO of the Xia Group, Xia Tiancheng!”
