Chapter 63 Banquet

The banquet went on as scheduled on Saturday.

In the Cen family's hall, the crystal chandeliers sparkled with gold and silver, the guests' gowns were inlaid with diamonds, and silver plates were filled with foie gras and champagne.

Waiters carrying ice buckets and wine glasses walked through the crowd from time to time.

Suddenly, the appearance of a man and a woman attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Shinian was wearing a pure black custom-made suit, a silver-gray tie with mother-of-pearl cufflinks, and the metal chain of his watch was faintly visible on the cuff of his shirt.

The neatly tailored trousers swept across the carpet with his steps, and every step seemed to measure the focus of everyone's attention.

Cen Xian, who was holding his hand, was wearing a flamboyant red dress, and she stood next to Lu Shinian with an unrestrained aura. The two of them looked particularly well-matched standing together, like a perfect couple.

Many people who were close to the Cen family watched this scene and asked Cen's father.

"Is this Xiao Xian's boyfriend? Not bad, not bad."

Father Cen was slightly surprised when he saw the two people coming in together.

I haven't heard when my little princess fell in love.

He put his doubts aside for the time being and planned to find out who the young man was after the banquet. Otherwise, where would he go to cry if his cabbages were eaten by pigs?

Although Cen Xian has been very independent since he was a child, as a father, he feels both relieved and sad.

He is glad that his daughter is so outstanding, but sad that he has not fully played his role as a father and Cen Xian does not rely on him.

This bad boy Cen Le was like a girl, always sticking to the couple and being spoiled to the point of being pampered. When he returned home this time, his old man scolded him a lot for this.

They could only reluctantly let Cen Le live alone, and luckily, he hadn't gotten into any trouble recently.

Not far away, Cen Le, who was lazing around in a corner of the banquet hall, opened his mouth wide when he saw his sister and classmates attending the banquet together. He was about to scream, but was frightened by Cen Xian's precise look and covered his mouth immediately.

He raised his hand and pinched his lips towards Cen Xian.

Only then did Cen Xian look away.

"Uncle Wu, this is the age. I'll trouble you to give me more support in the future."

Cen Xian introduced all the resources that he could use because of his good relationship with the family to Lu Shinian.

And Lu Shinian's performance did not disappoint her. His behavior was generous and appropriate, and his conversation was steady and humorous. He made many uncles and aunts laugh and left a good impression on Lu Shinian.

"What have you been busy with lately, Xiao Xian? Why didn't you come to see me, your uncle Wu, after you returned to China?"

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, about the same age as Cen's father, spoke to Cen Xian with a look of reproach on his face.

"You're busy with a new project. I'll definitely come visit you later."

Cen Xian led him up into the clouds without leaving any trace.

"Oh? What big project? Tell me about it."

As expected, the middle-aged man seemed very interested in the project mentioned by Cen Xian.

But looking at his demeanor at this moment, it was more like an elder giving routine greetings to a younger generation in the family. Maybe he would even give some money to Cen Xian for fun for the sake of Cen's father.

Cen Xian and Lu Shinian didn't care about the attitudes of the people in front of them. Most of the people in this banquet hall were their potential customers.

"Let Shi Nian tell you."

Cen Xian took a step back and left the situation to Lu Shinian.

The people around him looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly, with only one thought in their minds.

This young man might become the son-in-law of the Cen family in the future.

Their attitude towards Lu Shinian was a little less contemptuous. For Cen Xian's sake, they stood where they were and did not find excuses to leave. They all wanted to see the project mentioned by the young man with a noble temperament. As long as it was not too outrageous, they would spend some money to please the little princess of the Cen family.

"I'll call you all uncles and aunts."

Lu Shinian bowed to several group leaders, then stood up and introduced the artificial intelligence system in his hands.

"This project is artificial intelligence technology. The program we have is definitely the most advanced on the market and can be widely used in all walks of life. This is our company's business card. If you are interested, you can come to our company to learn more when you have time."

Everyone looked at Lu Shinian in surprise. They didn't expect that he was actually an artificial intelligence. They were skeptical and took the business card that Lu Shinian handed over.

Faced with the obvious lack of trust from the crowd, Lu Shinian was not in a hurry to explain anything to them.

After the product goes on the market, they will realize that what they said was not an exaggeration at all.

"The program is currently in the trial run stage. You can wait and see for another two days."

This gave everyone a way out, and they all laughed and looked at Lu Shinian.

"You are young and promising. We accept your business card. If you need anything, just let us know."

This is a very beautiful statement.

Lu Shinian and Cen Xian looked at each other, and they both understood that after the program was launched, these people would not have this attitude.

Only the middle-aged man named Wu, whom Cen Xian greeted at the beginning, wrote down the number on the business card.

He works in the smart home industry and is currently having a headache because his company's operations department has received many complaints about its own robots malfunctioning and system anomalies.

The technology studio he was working with, relying on its possession of the latest technology in the country, was not perfunctory about his dissatisfaction, but it did not take it too seriously either.

But he is a relatively traditional and patriotic person. He always insists on not using advanced foreign systems and is often ridiculed by people in the circle for not being able to adapt.

If this program is really as good as Lu Shinian said, then it would just solve his urgent problem.

After taking note, I waited for the banquet to be over and discussed it with Lu Shinian in detail.

"Now, please welcome the protagonist of today's banquet."

The banquet officially began after Mr. Cen finished his speech on stage.

Lu Shinian was holding a glass of champagne and sipping it carefully. His posture made many people around him think that he was a rich young man from some wealthy family.

"Would you like to dance with me for the opening?"

Cen Xian, who was wearing a red dress, spread out her palms as an invitation.

"ah?"

Lu Shinian was stunned.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary banquet, but he never expected it to be a momentous day when the family announced their return.

And looking at the people who appeared at the scene, they were all big shots whom he could hardly meet easily in his previous life, but they were actually kind to him.

Lu Shinian understood that everything was because of Cen Xian.

As long as this opening dance is performed, it will undoubtedly send a signal to the outside world that Lu Shinian has a good relationship with the Cen family in Beijing.

"If it's inconvenient then..."

There is no wall that is impenetrable. After entering Peking University, some classmates who knew Lu Shinian gradually told others about their family situation, and Cen Le knew more or less about it. As his sister, he also heard him talk about it many times.

I thought Lu Shinian didn't know how to do this kind of ballroom dancing, but just now I saw him blending into the party perfectly and looking very comfortable.

He forgot for a moment that he was not from a wealthy family and had never learned these things since childhood.

Just as I was about to find an excuse for him, I heard Lu Shinian say calmly, "I'm offended."

As soon as the words fell, the music started.

Lu Shinian held Cen Xian's waist and made a gentleman's hand.

Cen Xian, who usually acts like a heroine, couldn't help but blush.

Putting her arm around his shoulders, the two of them slid into the dance floor in perfect harmony.

From the moment Lu Shinian led her to dance on the dance floor, Cen Xian realized that the dancing skills of the boy in front of her were probably not inferior to hers, and even surpassed her level even though she had studied for many years since childhood.
