Over there, Shi Zichen sneered repeatedly, "How tacky! A bumpkin who’s seen nothing of the world!"
"Who are you calling a youngster?" Hua Mantian, a spoiled brat who couldn’t stand even the slightest criticism, just overheard Shi Zichen talking about him and Ye Chenfeng, and he immediately took offence.
Facing Hua Mantian, Shi Zichen smiled sarcastically, "To attend such a ball, one must first possess the demeanor of a gentleman. Otherwise, it’s very hard to blend into this circle!" Shi Zichen arrogantly tilted his head back and adjusted his white shirt collar. It must be said that Shi Zichen had the foresight, having changed into a luxurious outfit; his entire demeanor had elevated several notches!
Unlike Ye Chenfeng, who had just thrown on a random outfit.
"So handsome!" Some women even clasped their hands over their hearts, infatuated, and most people wanted to approach and strike up a conversation with Shi Zichen.
Having learned of Shi Zichen’s identity from Jiang Tian, who wouldn’t want to gain favor with him? With Bai Tian already having Liu Fangfei, no one minded, so they all focused on Shi Zichen.
"Gentleman’s demeanor? Hehe, what is that even?" Hua Mantian said, quite annoyed.
Shi Zichen treated him as if he were a naive country bumpkin. Regardless of being a prominent young master of the Capital City, Hua Mantian was not convinced at all.
Shi Zichen quite enjoyed this feeling, his body seemingly floating as more and more gazes concentrated on him, and he couldn’t help but show off, "Attending such a banquet involves many considerations, but if you adhere to the following few points, it will suffice! First, try not to arrive early, even one minute early is not good!
Second, remember not to pick up food with your right hand that you haven’t cleaned yet, and then shake hands with someone. Please use your left hand to pick up food, otherwise, immediately wipe your hands clean with a napkin after eating.
Third, do not look here and there while talking to someone, as if afraid of missing some more important person. It’s very impolite.
Fourth, do not forcefully engage the host in serious topics endlessly. Keep in mind, the host has more important things to attend to and has no time to chat with you all night!
Fifth, for the gentlemen, when flirting with the ladies here, you need some skills; first, your attire must be high-class, and second, your demeanor..."
Many in the crowd listened attentively, heaping praises on Shi Zichen, as if these banquet attending tips came readily to him.
Shi Zichen felt as if he had turned into air, his body light and almost ready to take flight!
"Did you get that? And Ye Chenfeng, did you get that?" Shi Zichen said with a smiling tone to Ye Chenfeng and Hua Mantian.
Ye Chenfeng hardly had the time to respond to Shi Zichen, treating the banquet as if it were his own home,
he easily mingled into the circle, casually picked up a glass of red wine, sipped it gently, and then with graceful steps, easily joined two glamorous ladies. In less than a minute, the three of them were already having a lively chat, and soon the two ladies wrote their information on Ye Chenfeng’s hand.
Of course, there was also Hua Mantian, the showoff, whose flirting skills were top-notch, bringing back a lady from another corner.
"What are you standing around for?" Ye Chenfeng moved through the steps to the center of the crowd.
Just this move alone impressed everyone present, Shi Zichen’s face burning with embarrassment— a real face-slapping moment!
"Ye Chenfeng you..." Suddenly, Chu Qingxue came up to Ye Chenfeng, her face blushing, unable to speak a word.
Ye Chenfeng was slightly startled, "What about me?"
Chu Qingxue’s face was flushed, she bit her cherry lips, "You... you often invite... invite girls ?"
Ye Chenfeng felt an urge to laugh. Chu Qingxue actually cared about this issue.
"Usually, it’s the girls who ask me out!" Ye Chenfeng waved his hand.
Chu Qingxue then left as she naturally wanted to be with Jiang Tian and the others.
"I’m so hungry! Just waiting to eat!"
Ye Chenfeng and Hua Mantian casually found a table and sat down.
Shortly after, Yoshiko Yuda actually came over, and even stopped at Ye Chenfeng’s table.
"Miss Yoshiko Yuda, are you hitting on me? I’m sorry, but your hostess, Mikako, has already asked me out tonight. Maybe another time!" Ye Chenfeng looked up and said.
Yoshiko Yuda’s smile froze on her face, and her eyes flickered sharply, but she bit her teeth and bore it, her expression easing as she looked at the messy utensils on the table and laughed, "Oh? Mr. Ye, why is your tableware so messy? Western dining tables are quite particular, tsk tsk, not as casual as Divine Land’s dining tables..."
"Heh, you’re from the East Ocean, not the West Ocean." Hua Mantian was no pushover and retorted coldly.
Yoshiko Yuda smiled slightly, "Sir, please watch your language. This is a high-society event, and you probably haven’t attended such a large banquet before, have you? Would you like me to explain the etiquette of attending a banquet to you?"
"You..." Hua Mantian was somewhat angry.
Yoshiko Yuda seemed very pleased with this effect and continued with a smile, "In our country, three out of four people have a university degree, and naturally, their quality is unquestionable, especially in terms of everyday etiquette, such as the order of placing utensils on a Western dining table, almost everyone knows it, even my three-year-old nephew can do it!
Dear guests from Divine Land, do any of you know how? Of course, being of such high status, you generally leave such trivial matters to the nanny! They say the people from Divine Land are noble, and according to Divine Land’s sayings, seeing you today truly lives up to the reputation!"
It was a complete setup; they had deliberately messed up the utensils at the banquet, then Yoshiko Yuda came to heap sarcasm upon them.
Hua Mantian was absolutely furious! Those damn brats were really too bullying.
The other attendees also bowed their heads; they had attended such parties often enough to have a decent grip on the etiquette, but they really didn’t understand the arrangement of utensils on a Western dining table!
"Haha! Dear respected guests, none of you really knows? Well then, let me casually call over a compatriot from Japan to check if he knows how!" Yoshiko Yuda laughed delightedly!
Yoshiko Yuda was specifically targeting Ye Chenfeng. That morning, Ye Chenfeng had humiliated her and she secretly vowed to get her revenge.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Bai Tian couldn’t help but glance at Ye Chenfeng’s table and asked, "What happened at that table?"
Shi Zichen sneered a few times, "It seems like that bunch of bumpkins messed up the order of someone else’s tableware, and now they are being asked to arrange it, but not a single one of them knows how!"
Liu Fangfei also stared over there, her eyes landing on a familiar silhouette.
Bai Tian smiled, "Zichen, do you know how? I don’t know this stuff either!"
Shi Zichen’s face showed a hint of pride, "Of course I do. It’s the most basic etiquette of a Western dining table. I might as well go help them out. We can’t disgrace ourselves in front of the Japanese, can we?"
