Chapter 3 Party

Lu Xiaoping was very concerned about the birthday party and started planning it several days in advance.

The night before his birthday, he went to pick up Han Que from get off work, and he was still wearing headphones while driving to confirm the private room.

"I'm telling you again, you have to go to the best one. Yes, the one at v888. Don't make any mistakes. I'm inviting a very important guest this time. If I mess up, I'll destroy your store."

After he hung up the phone, Han glanced at him sideways and touched his head embarrassedly, "Hey, I have to confirm the private room again, otherwise I will make a mistake again."

Han chuckled and said, "I can't believe you're so bold as to smash someone else's shop. Don't you know that those who can open clubs are all big bosses?"

Lu Xiaoping coughed and scratched his head. "I was just trying to scare them. I wouldn't dare actually smash the store." He then sat up straight, proving his innocence. "Han Que, don't worry. I'm not some bad boy. I just want them to respect me and my customers."

Han smiled and said, "I don't think you are either."

As she spoke, she leaned back in her chair somewhat tiredly and closed her eyes slightly.

She didn't care about the young masters' extravagant life of wine and women, she just wanted to relax and have a good sleep.

Lu Xiaoping asked excitedly, "Aren't you curious at all about who I'm going to invite this time?"

After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound from Han Que. He looked back and found that Han Que had fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

Lu Xiaoping felt very disappointed. He pushed Han Que's shoulder and said, "Hey, hey, don't fall asleep. I'm talking to you."

Han was startled awake and frowned irritably.

Last night Liu Suping had a fit, crying and making a fuss, which kept her awake all night.

After working twelve hours straight, he was utterly sleepy. How could he have the time to listen to the nonsense of his friends? So he closed his eyes again, drowsy and said, "Go ahead."

"Do you know who I invited this time? If I tell you, your sleepiness will go away." Lu Xiaoping said proudly.

"Well, who is it?"

"As for me, I invited Gu Ningwei this time." Lu Xiaoping said proudly.

"Oh," Han hummed with his eyes closed, "and then? Who is he?"

"Gu Ningwei." Lu Xiaoping was shocked, his voice rising eight degrees. "Han Que, you don't even know Gu Ningwei, do you? You don't even watch the news? It's Gu Ningwei. I beg you to open your phone and search. It's the Gu family of Chengguang Group. You don't even know them?"

"have no idea."

He laughed excitedly and said, "Oh, Han Que, finally there is something you don't know."

He was very excited to be able to crush Han Que.

Han was given a headache by his noise. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I know that one. He's in real estate, right?"

Their real estate advertisements are often seen on the streets, so it’s hard not to know about them.

She opened her eyes and searched on her phone. The headline news said that the famous entrepreneur Gu Zhicheng was inspecting in Europe and was interested in acquiring a famous European department store.

"Oh... he really is a big shot." Han said perfunctorily. She was not interested at all. This kind of person was too far away from her life and really did not arouse her interest.

"Why don't you ask me how I know Gu Ningwei?" Seeing that she didn't care, Lu Xiaoping grumbled aggrievedly, "You have absolutely no curiosity about me at all."

"Then tell me."

Last spring, he, Guo Peng, and Xu Tao spontaneously decided to drive to Tibet. They encountered heavy snow and were blocked off. They had no experience driving on unpaved roads and were ill-prepared, so they were stuck on the mountain road with no way to get around. They were only able to escape safely thanks to the experienced Gu Ningwei and his team.

"It was that time when Gu Ningwei said that my physical fitness was too poor and asked me to exercise well when I got home. That's why I went to Zhou Hongbin to get a card, and that's how I met you. Then I fell in love with you at first sight. This is our fate..." Lu Xiaoping scratched her nose with one hand.

"Oh," Han said, pouring cold water on him. "Did you know back then that he was the son of the Chengguang Group's Gu family? This rich second-generation guy is quite flaunting his wealth. He doesn't even worry about being kidnapped in the wilderness of Tibet."

"No way, they're really low-key. I just searched online when I got home." Lu Xiaoping said with admiration and yearning. "No wonder my dad always says that truly wealthy people don't look wealthy and never spend money lavishly."

Han nodded in agreement. She knew that Lu Xiaoping was taking the opportunity to tell her this. He had already spent a lot of money this month, and his father was so angry that he wanted to cancel his supplementary card.

"Yes, your father is right. Then you should spend less money and don't make so many things fancy for your birthday." Han said deliberately.

She just didn't really want to go.

"That won't do. This time, my dad knew that I invited Gu Ningwei. Not only did he not block my card, he even transferred some money to me," Lu Xiaoping said proudly.

"Oh?" Han raised his eyebrows. Only when money was mentioned could her curiosity be aroused.

"My dad told me to treat him well." After all, Gu Zhicheng has invested in several large medical device manufacturers. If I could get a connection with Gu Ningwei and get a few orders, it would be enough for our factory to make ends meet. How could my dad not be happy?"

Lu Xiaoping was a little proud: "He finally realized that my son is not just a playboy who knows how to spend money. He can still be useful at critical moments." He looked at Han Que again, "Don't you think so?"

Han patted him soothingly and said, "That's right, who said you only know how to eat, drink and have fun?"

Thinking of receiving Gu Ningwei well, Lu Xiaoping was so excited that he rubbed his hands. He rambled on for a long time, and finally, with a roll of his eyes, he took Han Que's hand with one hand and said, "So, baby, you must go this time and help me to entertain Gu Ningwei well. You are smart and capable, and you are in sales, so you know how to entertain guests. None of my friends are up to the task, so I can only count on you."

Han frowned: "..."

Has she become the Lu family's part-time sales and public relations employee again?

The calculations are clattering like a log. He is indeed a rich second generation. He has a strong gene for being good at calculation.

Lu Xiaoping saw her frowning face and a look of reluctance. He took her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, then patiently reasoned with her, "Look, I'm the only child of my parents. Our family company will be mine in the future. When you and I get married, my money will be yours. We have to work together for a happy life in the future. My dad said we should seize this opportunity to build our network of relationships."

Han Que: "..."

She almost laughed out loud at him.

Not bad, the pancake is also quite round.

On Lu Xiaoping's birthday, he first had a meal with his family, and then he called his friends and the group of people went to Xilanfang in a mighty manner.

When Han pushed the door and entered the private room, the room was filled with smoke and the music was deafening.

Lu Xiaoping was already slightly drunk. When he saw Han Que, he immediately ran over, took her hand and kissed her several times. "You are finally here, baby. I have been waiting so anxiously."

Then he pulled her to introduce her to everyone: "Look, I didn't lie to you, this is my girlfriend Han Que, look, she is a beautiful lady with a stunning appearance."

In fact, there was no need for him to introduce her. Since Han Que walked in, everyone was looking at her.

She is indeed a beauty with a stunning appearance, delicate skin, curved almond eyes, black skin, and a pure and innocent appearance.

Han was very calm and composed, facing those curious and inquiring eyes with a smile.

This smile was like a sudden gust of wind, rippling a pool of spring water, and conveying the ripples of emotion. What was even more rare was that the expression was natural, without a trace of artificiality.

No wonder Lu Xiaoping pursued her for half a year.

Although Keren is beautiful, she dresses simply and doesn't wear any branded goods. The canvas bag on her shoulder is also a gym advertising product.

Behind those cold and contemptuous glances came the girls' chatter, just loud enough for Han to hear:

"She's not ugly, but her clothes are terrible. She looks like a cheap piece of clothing from Pinduoduo with free shipping."

"Lu Xiaoping is so stingy. He took her out to meet people but didn't even buy her a couple of nice clothes to dress her up."

"That's right. After all, he's a nouveau riche from a small family, so he's very stingy..."

…

Lu Xiaoping originally wanted to take Han Que to show off.

Unexpectedly, the opposite happened. The occasional whispers made his careful preparations a joke.

His face turned ugly, and he started to curse: "You bunch of..."

Guo Peng pulled his sleeve, winked, stopped him, and reminded him, "Look at those people, you've offended them all."

Lu Xiaoping: “…”

He looked around and realized that he couldn't afford to offend anyone here, so he swallowed the curse words.

He turned around and glanced at Han Que's expression again. Fortunately, she was drinking sparkling water calmly, as if she didn't hear anything.

Xu Tao walked over to Lu Xiaoping and Han Que and sat down. He patted Lu Xiaoping on the shoulder and comforted her, "Women are like this. They love more than food and clothes."

Lu Xiaoping said angrily: "I invited them here with good intentions, but they said such nasty things. It really ruined the fun."

Xu Tao held the wine glass in his hand, slowly blew out a smoke ring, and continued to laugh, "Yes, they are wrong, but you have known them for several years, and you know that they are usually like that. They are a bit talkative, but they are spoiled and speak their mind. They are straightforward and have no ulterior motives." He paused and said meaningfully, "Unlike those women with unknown origins, those women are very scheming and just want to step on men to climb up."

Han raised his eyes and looked at him.

Xu Tao also looked at her.

Lu Xiaoping didn't notice the exchange of glances between them. He simply lowered his head and looked at the cup in his hand. "Just because we've been friends since childhood, we shouldn't say such things. What's wrong with dressing simply? Our Han is a serious university student. He's educated and not vain."

"Oh." Xu Tao glanced at Han Que again, squinted his eyes, smoked and said nothing.

Lu Xiaoping then sighed, "Eh, forget it. I don't know what to say." He looked at Han Que and said, "Don't bother with them."

Han smiled, she really didn't care that much.

As she was speaking, Chen Yayi waved to Lu Xiaoping, "Xiaoping, come here, I have something to ask you..."

Lu Xiaoping stood up and walked over.

Xu Tao stared at Han Que's face and suddenly leaned closer to her.
