The celebratory banquet for the right to host the Olympics was held the next day.
At this moment, Honeycomb Stadium still did not exist in Swallow Capital. As such, the place with the biggest stage would be Workers’ Stadium.
The renovation for Workers’ Stadium was stopped temporarily for an entire month because of this. After an intense round of preparation, they finally completed the entire layout for the renovation.
The event would be broadcasted live by CTV and 18 satellite channels at the same time. A lot of media personnel from within the country and overseas would arrive at the scene to carry out interviews and reports.
Swallow Capital would dispatch professionals to oversee the security and safety of the event.
Twilight shrouded this ancient city. There were blue and red lights shining everywhere, coupled with the flashes from the cameras of various journalists.
Workers’ Stadium was filled with people. More than 10,000 spectators came here on account of its reputation, and they were making the stadium impenetrable.
After everything was ready, at 6 p.m., all of the esteemed guests with invitation cards arrived one after another.
On the two sides of the red carpet were numerous passionate citizens and journalists who were snapping photos furiously. All of the esteemed guests with invitation cards felt like celebrities. They walked with their heads high and chests puffed along the red carpet amidst the thunderous cheers. They felt that the life on top was so ordinary.
“What a huge scene.” After getting out of the car, Lisa mumbled to herself and looked at the scene in front of her with a shocked expression as she walked across the red carpet.
At this moment, the people next to her were her father and uncle. Ben was next to her as well.
“This host is pretty great.” Lisa’s father, Norman Gardner, experienced the same shock as he said that.
“Remember guys, just look and listen but don’t speak. This is not our house where we can run amok.”
Ben’s father, Ian Hull, said solemnly.
“Got it.” Ben nodded carefully. Suddenly, he pointed at a group of people in front of him and said, “Dad, Uncle, isn’t that the president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce? Should we go and say hi?”
Ian and Norman looked at each other. They went over and started exchanging conventional greetings at the same time.
Behind them, Ben asked Lisa, “Where’s Mr. Turner? I don’t see him anywhere.”
“Mr. Turner and the rest went in earlier. I’ll go find him directly later,” Lisa said softly.
Ben let out a sigh of relief. He mumbled, “Someone who can host an event like this is the true big shot. His background and power are so exceptional.”
When Lisa was about to say something, she suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corners of her eyes. She grabbed Ben quickly and said, “Benny, look. Isn’t that Jasper? Wendy’s boyfriend?”
Ben looked over immediately after he heard that. Indeed, he spotted Jasper who was speaking to Henry.
A smirk appeared on his face. After telling Ian and Norman, he grabbed Lisa to walk over to him.
At this moment, Henry was complaining to Jasper with reluctance on his face. He was the young master of the Law family, so it need not be said how big of his influence was. However, with his personality, he did not even want to interact with those big shots. He also resented these kinds of solicitous inquiries about someone’s well-being to pander to someone.
“My brother, I really don’t want to be at my father’s side. There are big shots all over the place and I don’t even dare to breathe too loud, so how will I ever have the chance to speak? Why can’t I stay with you?”
“You have to go even if you don’t want to. You’re in your 20s. Are you going to stay a child forever?” Jasper said insipidly.
“You’ll get used to these kinds of events sooner or later. If you really can’t, get Anna to go. I wonder who you’re going to cry to when Anna is the one who gets all of the family’s property in the future.”
After Henry heard that, he chuckled while shifting his eyes. “That works too. I’ll be more than happy if you can get Anna to promise me enough pocket money every year.”
After Jasper heard that, he looked at Henry and said seriously, “You’re able to become a fully grown man because your father is reluctant to beat you to death. The love of a father is so amazing.”
Henry’s face fell. When he was about to say something, he heard a voice from behind him.
