Half an hour ago, at the Star Moon Club Hotel banquet hall, the lights were blazing bright.
Guests gathered in groups of threes and twos, holding wine glasses and discussing the recent economic situation and industrial development of Jiangnan Province.
Women wore exquisite evening gowns and luxurious diamond and jeweled accessories, looking flamboyant and stylish. Some huddled together chatting about the latest designer bags, while others ostentatiously showed off the luxury items their boyfriends or husbands bought for them, and a few acted like prey, flirting with targets within the banquet hall.
The men were mostly in snug-fitting suits, their heads held high, faces adorned with smiles, exuding a gentlemanly air.
