Chapter 227 It’s a Small World

Visiting and chatting on his own website still gave Chu Ge a strange sense of satisfaction. The same was true for the "annual meeting" that he had always longed for. He could feel that he was at the forefront of the website and could chat, drink and hang out with the editor and other great authors.

Although it seems to have no practical significance, when you are in an industry, there will always be some expectations of "upstream", rather than hiding alone in a dark little room, hoping that the words you type can sell for some money.

People will join various Internet writers' associations. Besides using the name "I am from XX Writers Association" to introduce themselves, the "group" feeling is also a very important reason. It makes you feel that you are not a ghost floating on the Internet, but that there is such a collective and such a "base".

Being able to feel that you are still alive means that there are still social expectations.

Unfortunately, the Writers Association only holds empty meetings, and the Internet Association is of no use at all. In the end, it became a mere excuse for dinner parties, and Chu Ge hasn't participated in any of them for a year or two.

The visit to his own website finally made Chu Ge feel a little "half full" satisfied. Both the editor and the editor-in-chief recognized him, and that was enough.

As for the big boss... maybe he will meet him during dinner later. That is a matter of another world. Chu Ge always feels that it has nothing to do with writing.

Chu Ge didn't even plan to take his boss's car. He left his own website and took a taxi to the banquet hall where Xie Wenyuan had an appointment. He looked around and his eyes fell on Qiu Wuji as if they were accurately located.

This is a self-service banquet hall. Men and women hold wine and juice, and chat with acquaintances in groups of three or four. The atmosphere is very elegant. Although not as exaggerated as formal dresses, most people are still wearing formal clothes, and suits and long skirts are the main ones in the scene.

Qiu Wuji looks very special in his casual white shirt and blue jeans.

The same goes for Chugo's T-shirt and jeans... Not only is the style out of place here, the dozens of dollars' worth of stuff that can be seen at a glance are also very eye-catching, as if they are two people who shouldn't belong here at all.

Even so, the boundless autumn is still the most beautiful scenery in the field.

Almost everyone was looking at her, both men and women. That was the natural attraction of human beings to beauty.

Qiu Wuji was strolling among the self-service counters, curiously watching others get things, and then he followed suit and got a glass of orange juice, drinking it while watching.

The curious naivety and the elegant and lazy posture are perfectly combined together to form a very unique charm. You can't tell whether she is a country bumpkin or a woman with a story who has seen the world.

The banquet hall was very large, and before Chu Ge reached Qiu Wuji, someone else arrived first.

"This lady looks unfamiliar. It seems that she came with Mr. Zhu?" A young handsome man in a suit and tie stood gracefully beside Qiu Wuji and asked with a smile, "How should I address Mr. Zhu?"

Qiu Wuji blinked his eyes and even felt a little touched!

The standard treatment for a novel heroine who goes out and is approached by someone. I've been here for almost half a year, and this is the first time I've encountered one! I thought I had no charm, but it turns out I still have! Hey, is Chu Ge here? I feel a sour smell coming over here, hehe.

Chu Ge stopped and looked at her with his hands on his hips unhappily.

"Uh, this lady..."

In the eyes of others, Qiu Wuji was just spinning the orange juice cup and looking at him with a half-smile. It was unclear whether that expression was mocking or something else, but it made people feel creepy.

Qiu Wuji smiled slightly: "Yes, I came with my grandfather."

Old Zhu: “?”

"Mr. Zhu is your grandfather?" The young man was delighted. "So Miss Zhu is now following Mr. Zhu to manage the family business?"

"Yes, my grandfather and I grow tea in the countryside..."

Before he finished speaking, the young man's expression changed drastically and he fled in panic.

Old Zhu: “…”

The next line in this routine is "Grandpa is dead!" Oh my god!

Qiu Wuji curled his lips, as if talking to the air: "Others can say this for a few sentences, why do they run away when I say it?"

Chu Ge appeared beside him: "You have seen the jokes, of course others have seen them too. Do you think they don't surf the Internet?"

"oh……"

"You are a storyteller after all, so why can't you make up one yourself?"

"Why would I have to make it up? He also knows that my grandfather is not dead. He can just listen to me and know that I am rejecting him."

"That makes sense." Chu Ge touched his chin and looked at the young man: "So he is still a decent young man who doesn't cling to me."

Qiu Wuji smiled slightly: "It's difficult to pester me in public. I'm not a little jerk."

Chu Ge said sourly: "Are you glad that you are still attractive?"

Qiu Wuji smiled and said, "You should be happy. No one is competing with you for your girlfriend. How do you know how much treasure you have got?"

"I don't need anyone to snatch it from me. I know that what I have obtained is the greatest treasure in the world."

"Hmm, did you meet the female editor?"

"Met him." Chu Ge pointed to the door.

Qiu Wuji turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie just walked into the door of the banquet hall. He went straight to where Xie Wenyuan was, and seemed very familiar with him.

"He is your boss?"

"Um."

Qiu Wuji's expression changed, and he seemed to be able to imagine the scene of Chu Ge's meeting... So what was he doing at noon?

She tightened her grip around the juice and gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to crush it.

Chu Ge then added: "How can you squeeze it out like that? You'll need it at night..."

"Get out!" Qiu Wuji almost splashed all the juice on Chu Ge's face.

As soon as the cup moved, Chu Ge took a sip, as if she was feeding the juice to Chu Ge on purpose.

Qiu Wuji was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned into crescents as he smiled: "Your cultivation is used to do this kind of thing, isn't it embarrassing?"

Chugo grumbled as he drank his juice: "Not only is it not shameful, you can see that other people's eyes are almost red when they look at me."

Qiu Wuji looked around, his face slightly red.

Many people around were secretly looking at them, some were smiling like aunties, and some were looking unhappy.

Obviously, they thought Chu Ge was also someone who came to chat up, and were expecting to see how he would get rejected. But the two of them ended up chatting away as if no one was around, and even fed each other juice, as if they were treating the huge banquet hall as a place for a private love affair.

They are obviously a couple in love. They only have eyes for each other. Even a meteorite can't break their relationship apart!

What a beautiful flower, it turns out it had been stuck in a cow... Hey, this cow dung is growing pretty well too.

Some people looked at Lao Zhu and Xie Wenyuan, wondering what the relationship was between the young couple and them. In fact, Lao Zhu's strength here was only average, and some people might not necessarily consider his face, but Xie Wenyuan was no ordinary person, and it was not easy for ordinary people to offend him.

Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji's divine consciousness took in all the reactions of the people around them. Chu Ge's smile turned a little cold: "Some people..."

Qiu Wuji smiled and said, "Are you trying to say that beauty is the root of trouble?"

"No, to be honest, it's not easy to take a beauty like you out, and only today do you feel coveted. Hahaha. I don't know if it's because of our social circle, but we don't go out very often, and we only meet ordinary passers-by. Now we can be considered to have met a full house of well-dressed people."

Hearing Chu Ge's ironic tone about "a room full of well-dressed people", Qiu Wuji shook his head and sighed with some regret: "It's not bad. If it were in ancient times, they would be more explicit and not so restrained. Seeing their concerns about Mr. Xie, it's hard to wait for others to cause trouble..."

"It looks like you're expecting someone to cause trouble for you." Chu Ge said unhappily, "It's better if there's no one. Even if someone wants to cause trouble, it shouldn't be such a low-level thing. There are more advanced things for you to do... you see..."

Qiu Wuji followed Chu Ge's gaze and saw Du Lianfeng's former female secretary, who was smiling and raising her glass to toast Xie Wenyuan, as if she had something to talk about.

Her eyes seemed to glance at Chu Ge and the other man inadvertently, revealing a charming smile.

Qiu Wuji's eyes quickly turned cold.

Sure enough, when you come to Shanghai, there will be intersections.

It’s a small world.
