Chapter 649 Celebration Banquet 3
"Where have you been? I'm on speakerphone right now, so be careful."
Lu Yunque ignored the changing expressions of the others. Considering that they grew up together, he kindly reminded Li Yuecheng that he was still using the hands-free mode.
On the other end of the phone, Li Yuecheng was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "I just got off work not long ago and was driving over. Didn't you have to work overtime today as well? How did you still have time to call me?"
Li Yuecheng spoke again, his tone becoming much more normal.
"I've already arrived at Cloud Palace No. 1. You're the only one missing."
Lu Yunque said it without any burden.
Li Yuecheng, who was driving, frowned when he heard Lu Yunque's words: "You're kidding me, don't think I don't know your work schedule for today."
Others may not know the work schedule of Lu Yunque and his companions, but the four of them are basically aware of each other's plans.
"Believe it or not, I advise you to hurry up. Do you really have the nerve to let a room full of people wait for you alone?"
Lu Yunque had no scruples at all when he was arguing with others.
"The important characters always appear last. I don't mind making you wait a little longer."
Li Yuecheng was not at all confused by Lu Yunque's words.
Of the people present, only Li Yuexuan's expression began to turn into despair. Lu Yunque failed to trick Li Yuecheng, and soon hung up the phone and continued to call the second person.
However, since they were friends who had grown up together, everyone knew each other very well. Lu Yunque tried his best but failed to fool anyone.
Of course, it is unknown whether the few people who hung up the phone sped up.
Not long after Lu Yunque finished his call, Krech knocked on the door of the private room. After getting permission, he entered one after another with the club's waiters, carrying the food they had just ordered.
Because everyone had not arrived yet, Yun Zijin and the others ordered some snacks, which could only fill their stomachs and could not be considered a full meal.
"Please enjoy your meal. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
After saying that, Krech quickly left the box with the waiters.
Not long after Krech and his men left, someone else finally came in.
At the same time, message alerts rang on the phones of several people in the box.
Yun Zijin took out his phone to check and saw the photo of the box door that Li Yuecheng, the first person Lu Yunque had called, had sent in the group, along with the words "Open the door!"
Obviously, the first person to arrive after Lu Yunque was Li Yuecheng.
When Li Yuexuan saw the news, he became completely dejected, but he still had to get up and open the door for Li Yuecheng.
After all, this is the big brother who controls his own economic lifeline. Others can ignore him, but he cannot help but take action.
Seeing that it was Li Yuexuan who opened the door for him, Li Yuecheng swallowed back what he wanted to say to Lu Yunque.
"elder brother."
After all, he is his younger brother, and Li Yuecheng knows him very well. He can tell at a glance that Li Yuexuan is in an abnormal state.
"Well, you don't look happy. What happened?"
Although he usually seems quite impatient with his younger brother, he can't just ignore it when something happens.
"It's okay, brother, why did you get off work so late today?"
It was almost 12 o'clock when Li Yuecheng arrived, proving that he had just officially gotten off work not long ago.
"Something went wrong with the company project, and the meeting lasted a bit longer, and you haven't explained what happened yet."
Li Yuecheng obviously didn't believe that nothing really happened to Li Yuexuan.
"Brother Cheng, just leave him alone. He will be fine in two days."
Lu Yunfeng and the others knew why Li Yuexuan looked depressed, but it was not appropriate to tell the truth now.
Li Yuecheng glanced at Lu Yunfeng, clearly distrusting them, and then looked at Yun Zijin: "Sister Zijin, do you know what's wrong with this guy?"
Among all the people present, Li Yuecheng felt that Yun Zijin was the one least likely to lie.
"I lost a car bet, so I might be in a bad mood. Please understand."
As for what the bet was about, it was not appropriate to tell Li Yuecheng.
Li Yuecheng looked at Li Yuexuan suspiciously. Why did he feel that this unfortunate brother started to look depressed only after he arrived? Could it be that the content of the bet was related to him?
Li Yuecheng didn't know that he was already close to the truth.
It’s a pity that everyone in the box was an accomplice and no one was stupid enough to tell him the truth.
"Brother Cheng, please sit here. My brother and the others haven't arrived yet, so I've ordered some food to fill your stomach. Here's the menu, you can order whatever you want."
Sheng Yang pointed to the seat next to him and asked Li Yuecheng to sit over, and tried to speak in a normal tone when speaking.
Li Yuecheng glanced at Su Mengyao beside Sheng Yang, and finally chose to sit next to Lu Yunque.
If Qin Sitong had not been sitting on the other side of Yun Zijin, Li Yuecheng would definitely have sat next to Yun Zijin in order to create chaos.
The seat next to Qin Sitong was reserved for Fu Ze by default.
Fu Ze was unable to attend the opening of the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop branch today because he was busy with company matters.
Seeing Li Yuecheng sitting next to him, Lu Yunque glanced at him calmly. Today was the day he liked Qin Sitong the most.
As Yun Zijin's classmate, roommate and best friend, Lu Yunque is sometimes very jealous of Qin Sitong for being able to spend so much time with Yun Zijin.
But Qin Sitong's presence today successfully prevented Li Yuecheng from sitting next to Yun Zijin, which was also a great help to Lu Yunque.
Although Li Yuecheng only pretended to like Yun Zijin and did not do anything to steal her away, as Yun Zijin's boyfriend, it would be a lie to say that he didn't mind.
However, they have been brothers for many years, and Lu Yunque can't just break up. He can only try to reduce the contact between Yun Zijin and Li Yuecheng.
At a gathering like this, Lu Yunque would of course try his best to avoid letting Yun Zijin and Li Yuecheng get too close.
Li Yuecheng also looked at Lu Yunque, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. Although he had no intention of stealing her away, when he saw the two of them together, he couldn't help but want to be the giant light bulb between them.
The main tactic is a guerrilla tactic of retreating when the enemy advances and advancing when the enemy retreats.
Yun Zijin didn't notice the quarrel between the two. She was still reviewing today's opening with Qin Sitong, trying to avoid the problems that occurred today and bring a better consumption experience to customers.
When the atmosphere was becoming tense, someone fantasized about the doorbell of the private room.
Yun Zijin immediately checked the WeChat messages on her phone, and to her surprise, the remaining three people had also sent messages one after another. It seemed that the three of them were now outside the box.
"Everyone's here now, so who's the last one?"
Yun Zijin was pressing Lu Yunzhou, and the three of them appeared outside the box together. They had no way of judging who arrived first and who came later.
