Rebirth: How A Loser Became A Prince Charming - Chapter 346

Chapter 346

 "Make a collection for the boy . It would be beneficial for you . "

 Douglas’ indication was clear to the chief designer . The brand had to find a new direction the following year . His promotion of Qin Guan had attracted attention from the senior executives of the company .

 Meanwhile, Qin Guan's phone was packed with messages . Most of them were from old Columbia professors, assigning more homework to him .

 However, among them was also a strange text from Xu Xiaoxiao: "Call me back" .

 Qin Guan called him immediately .

 "Qin Guan, my grandpa’s birthday banquet is tomorrow . Come watch my performance!"

 "No problem . I’ll see you tomorrow . What should I wear? Should I bring a present?"

 "Us young guys will have a cocktail party after the banquet . Formal attire is mandatory . And you are the best present for my grandpa!"

 What a silly boy! No one can go to a birthday party without a present .

 Qin Guan was not worried about that though . He was good at dealing with old people .

 Cong Nianwei had been invited by Wendy to join an architecture club at Columbia, so she couldn't attend the banquet with him .

 Standing before an ancient style mansion, Qin Guan fixed his black bow tie and called Xu .

 "Let him in! He is my friend!" The honest gatekeeper saw Xu shouting from the second-floor balcony and let Qin Guan in without a word .

 A shrine with joss-sticks was placed before the Guan Emperor [1], looking striking in the broad, elegant hall .

 It was surprising to see such a traditional idol in a modern house .

 Qin Guan followed Xu to a small hall on the second floor . There was a stage inside set up for a small-scale martial arts play .

 "Look at me!" Xu pulled Qin Guan to the backstage area to show off .

 Can I tell you the truth? You look like Pigsy [2] when you’re playing the Monkey King .  

 Qin Guan noticed that Xu Xiaoxiao had a lingering charm thanks to his makeup and costume . He just reminded him, "Stand still on the stage and watch your posture . "

 It was better for Xu to stand still while he was singing .

 "Okay!"

 Qin Guan took his present out . "According to your description of him, I think your grandpa will like this . "

 It was a delicate snuff bottle, half a finger tall . It was made of transparent glaze, and the bottle cap was red coral . Red fancy carps were painted on the bottle .

 It was an elegant bottle with an auspicious implied meaning .

 "Good snuff is hard to find in China . I took only a little abroad for fear of the custom check . "

 Qin Guan took out a small antique case . It was snuff from a store at Tianhuizhai, which could be dated back to the Qin Dynasty .

 Cigarettes had replaced snuff for the time being . White people of the last generation preferred to play with the bottles .

 As a banana boy [3], Xu had never seen such a unique thing . He fondled the two items admiringly .

 "I’ll deliver them for you . "

 By that time, people were already heading upstairs one after the other .

 The guests were all polite . They found their seats by looking at the numbers on their cards . Qin Guan peered out from the gap between the curtains . He felt a solemn vide in the room .

 There were similar Asian faces all around . Everyone was talking to each other happily . Qin Guan got a faint idea of what Xu's family was like .

 A thin old man in a Tang suit sat down at the seat of honor . He seemed hale and hearty . Xu's father announced the beginning of the banquet .

 "Where is Xiaoxiao?" Strict Grandpa Xu liked his eldest grandson the most .

 Xu's father knew about his plan . He smiled awkwardly . "Dad, everyone is here . We should just begin . Xiaoxiao will get here soon . "

 Grandpa Xu looked around and waved his hands at random . "Okay . "

 The opera troupe began its performance . Since this was a birthday banquet, the opera "Ma Gu Offers Birthday Felicitations" was a must .

 The curtain rose and a plump lady walked on the stage . She sang along to the rhythm .

 The chatting audience was shocked .

 At the beginning, they didn't recognize Xu Xiaoxiao because of the thick makeup on his face, but his voice betrayed him .

 "Ha ha ha . . . "

 "Good!"

 Grandpa Xu spit his water out . Xu's father grinned at him awkwardly . "Slow down, grampa . "
