The hall was abuzz with activity, with nearly fifty young men and women scattered throughout, all dressed impressively, holding wine glasses in their hands, some chatting quietly in pairs, while others gathered in groups of four or five, speaking in light, easy laughter.

In the eyes of ordinary people, when the sons and daughters of the wealthy gather, it’s often perceived as indulgent partying, the kind that features extravagant banquets.

Most people, aiming to inherit their family businesses, prefer to attend these classy, stylish gatherings, firstly to showcase their taste, and secondly to network, which will help them in their future endeavors.
Their parents generally support them wholeheartedly in these pursuits, providing whatever money or materials are necessary.
The attendees were also not uncouth; almost all were highly educated and had considerable insight in personal cultivation and academic achievement.

"Oh, a friend from Tiannan, welcome." The man greeted Song Xiaodong and his group, then turned and walked away, obviously uninterested in a friend from another region.
Several others, nearly identical to the first, recognized that Song Xiaodong had no connections of value to offer; they naturally wouldn’t waste their time.
