Chapter 65
soon arrived at the second floor.
They soon
Billy found that he was indeed the earliest one to arrive.
He patted Thomas enthusiastically and said, “Good for you. I didn’t expect you to have what it takes to organize an enrollment celebration banquet here, Mr. Larson. I’ve misjudged you earlier. I didn’t expect you to be so capable!”
Billy thought for a while and continued, “Did you come to my company to talk about cooperation previously?”
“Yeah.” Thomas looked much more serious instantly.
He thought. “Is Mr. Lawson thinking of cooperating with me!”
Billy said in a deep voice, “After drinking, let’s talk about it.”
Thomas‘ eyes flickered with joy.
While Thomas entertained Billy, Layla whispered to Winslet, “This is Mr. Ross of Ross Beauty. The other man there is Mr. Sollace of Sollace Group while the man over there is Mr. Kirby of Kirby Hotel”
Winslet listened and realized they were all from well–known big companies.
“Are they all here? Is it because you sent them an invitation on WhatsApp?” Winslet asked.
Layla nodded. She didn’t expect all of them to come after sending them an invitation.
She thought, “What a glorious moment! After the banquet today, it will be easier to run the business of the Larson family.”
She believed she could easily turn the tables for the Larson family y with her connections.
Someone saw Lab
saw Layla greeting the guests and said with a smile, “You are… Mrs. Larson, right? You have a bright future ahead of you.”
Layla smiled. Thank you. Thanks for coming and supporting us.”
She was happy as she was overwhelmed with satisfaction.
She thought. “My daughter attends Acocester University and will marry a rich family in the capital. Of course, we have a bright future ahead.”
“Let’s head
to the second floor. I have prepared some refreshments,” Layla said.
Those people nodded.
Everyone viewed Layla in a new light.
After all, Layla’s social status and background were not worth mentioning
On usual days, she only had the chance to make an appearance by currying favor with the Moore family. Others would hardly treat her seriously. Only families whose asset value was also around a few million would get along with the Larson family.
The Moore e family put up with the Larson family only because of Benjamin.
However, they did not expect Layla to organize the enrollment celebration banquet,
It seemed to them that the Larson family was about to rise
“Mrs. Larson, do you want to join us for afternoon tea tomorrow? Someone handed over a business card.
Layla was flattered. “Yes, of course. I’m available anytime
She received a lot of business cards in one go.
She secretly counted the number of cards she had received, thinking of how great it would be if they could cooperate with the Larson family. The guests were led to the second floor.
Chapter 65
Joel hurried downstairs. “Mom, why are there so many people! Our tables are all fully seated.”
Hearing this, Layla was delighted.
“Oh no, I didn’t expect so many people to come. Let’s ask for a few more halls on the second floor and add another 50 tables.”
Joel agreed. “Okay.”
“Joel, wait.” Layla grabbed Joel and ordered in a low voice, “Upgrade the food. These big shots are used to eating all kinds of delicacies. I’ve underestimated the social status of those who come. This time, it doesn’t matter if it costs us a bomb”
Joel understood and immediately found the person in charge to ask for a hall.
Something good had finally occurred to the Larson family.
Layla was in a good mood, and her recent frustration was finally gone.
are you sure?”
Jacob frowned. “Mom, are
Those cars just now had already been driven away.
Just then, ten or more cars arrived at the venue.
This time, they were all luxury cars worth over 150 thousand dollars.
Looking at the c
car plate, Jacob found out that they were those he was familiar with.
Layla frowned, “Why are you in doubt”
“Are you
sure
it’s your connections from WhatsApp?” Jacob looked in their direction and said, “Mom, those people there are government officials.”
Layla was stunned. I don’t know.”
She undoubtedly did not have any connections with the officials. Otherwise, their family business would not be so bad after all these years.
William got out of the car.
He glanced at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant and said. “This is a good place for an enrollment celebration banquet. It’s perfect.
His secretary accompanied him to the door and asked Layla, “Where should I put the gifts?”
Layla felt numb all over. William was a senior officer of the
city
council.
“Mr. Powell, please come in. You can put the gift on the second floor”
She was sweating on her forehead and could not figure out why William was there.
Those who arrived later had higher social status than the previous ones.
Willow got out
ow got out of the car and looked derisive when she saw Winslet.
But she was taken aback when she saw the invitation board to the enrollment celebration banquet. “Enrollment celebration banquet. You are the ones who hold the banquet?”
She frowned and was surprised.
Then, she looked at Winslet again.
Winslet was nicely dressed today,
Sensing Willow’s gaze, Winslet subconsciously stepped back, feeling embarrassed.
“You are… Ms. Hayes from Zaidham Pharmaceutical Company! Layla didn’t know what happened previously and greeted Willow with a smile. *Tr flattered to have you here,” she continued
Willow smiled and said. “It’s nothing. After all, the enrollment celebration banquet is a big matter. I’ve also prepared gifts.
“Please, proceed to the second flo
floor!” Layla smiled delightfully
Chapter 65
Brunswick also arrived at the venue.
Judging by the sweat on his head, one could tell that he had just rushed there.
“I’m not late, am I?” he asked.
Willow turned around and said, “You’re just in time. Let’s go upstairs together, Mr. Lowe
Layla gulped. Bruno was the chairman of the chamber of commerce of Acocester.
After all the guests had proceeded to the second floor, Layla was not the only person who was shocked.
well.
The person in charge of the Cosmopolitan Restaurant was taken aback as
It was only an enrollment celebration banquet, and they initially booked only 30 or more tables.
They did not anticipate so many guests to come.
The person in charge came over and smiled at Layla. “What a glorious day for your family! Even Mr. Powell, Ms. Hayes, and Mr. Lowe are here. We will upgrade all the beverages to our best package free of charge. Besides, I’ll give each table a bottle of wine our restaurant produces. How’s that?”
Layla didn’t expect such a good thing to happen.
On second thoughts, it was logical for the Cosmopolitan Restaurant to showcase its ability in front of these big shots.
“Okay, thank you.”
At this point, Layla did not sound polite and was a
little
arrogant.
The person in charge handed over his business card, “This is my business card. If you plan to hold another banquet in the future, call me directly. I’ll make all the arrangements personally and perfectly.”
“Thank you” Winslet took the business card. She looked at it and smiled broader.
She was dressed up so well today.
There were so many big shots who came to congratulate her.
Winslet took a deep breath and secretly told herself there would be more occasions like this in the future.
Winslet’s face flushed red with joy today, but she was sure she would keep her composure next time.
