Night falls; the sky is full of twinkling stars, the hotel entrance is bustling with people, and luxury cars are driving past.
Today is the day when the Dong Group holds a dinner party. The venue is chosen in the most luxurious hotel in the imperial capital - Peninsula InterContinental. The banquet hall is the most grand one. After all, very few people have been able to hold a dinner party here. When Chen Xu decided to set this exhibition hall as the venue for the banquet, Mrs. Dong was so happy that she almost jumped up to celebrate.
Inside the hall, Chen Xu, along with Dong Siqing and his secretary, mingled among the guests. Just as they had planned, aristocratic families and nobles alike arrived for the banquet. Everyone was fawning over him, which filled Dong Siqing, dressed in her gorgeous gown, with immense satisfaction.
In the lounge on the second floor of the banquet hall, Mrs. Dong was sitting next to several noble ladies from aristocratic families. I don’t know what they said, but it made Mrs. Dong laugh non-stop.
Ding ding ding... There was a knock on the door, and Dong Jiaxue entered the room alone, politely greeting everyone. "Mrs. Dong, everything downstairs is almost ready. Brother Xu asked me to invite you down."
Seeing that it was a strange woman, the ladies were very curious. A woman who was on good terms with Mrs. Dong was the first to speak: "Qiuzhi, who is this girl from? How come I have never seen her before?"
Chen Qiuzhi is the real name of Mrs. Dong, but over the years in the imperial capital, many people have addressed her as Mrs. Dong, and only a few people who are more familiar with her call her that.
Usually at this time Dong Siqing was always with Madam Dong. Although she had a somewhat domineering personality, everyone doted on her because of the Dong family's status. Facing this strange little girl in front of them and the ambiguous way she addressed Chen Xu just now, it was hard not to make people think too much.
"Oh, she's just the child of an old friend. She just graduated and is interning at Xuer Company." Mrs. Dong obviously understood the temptation in her friend's words. It would have been impossible for her to bring Dong Jiaxue back and put her with Chen Xu without any intention of doing so. But Dong Siqing's words that day also woke her up.
Dong Jiaxue's identity and status would bring some disadvantages to Chen Xu or the Dong family. It would be best if things could really develop as Dong Siqing said that day. In addition, she also figured out Dong Jiaxue's real whereabouts; but who will be the winner depends on fate.
After hearing Mrs. Dong's reply, everyone looked at Dong Jiaxue. She looked good and had a dignified figure, but she was still a little petty in nature. Although she had seen a lot during this period of time following Mrs. Dong, some things could not be improved in a short time.
"Is that so? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were the one arranging Xiaoxu's marriage?"
But there are still some who are unwilling to give up. They want to test the waters with Mrs. Dong to see if there is any chance of marriage with the Dong family. After all, they are now on the rise, and with the foundation of the four major families, marrying into their family can be considered a meteoric rise to fame.
"I have no intention of getting involved in the children's affairs. As long as Xu'er likes me, it's all fine!" Although he already had his own plans in mind, he still couldn't win everyone's face.
"Qiuzhi is the one who sees things clearly! Xuer liking it is more important than anything else! Okay, let's go down quickly, this little girl has been standing here for so long!" It was the lady who was more familiar with Mrs. Dong who spoke up to help, and that stopped everyone from continuing the topic.
Mrs. Dong looked at the noisy banquet and searched for a long time but couldn't find the person she wanted to see. It was not until Chen Xu finished his speech and left the stage that she approached and asked Su Yu why she didn't show up.
"Boss Su just called me and said he can't come over until later because he has a multinational meeting that hasn't finished yet."
After hearing the explanation, Mrs. Dong looked kind. What made her happy was not that Su Yu agreed to attend, but that Su Yu, as Chen Xu had just mentioned, would take the initiative to explain the reason to him; this was undoubtedly a good sign.
Then there was an endless stream of toasts and conversations from the crowd, all of them praising Chen Xu's youth and potential, and Mrs. Dong's good teaching; some of them were inevitably promoting their own daughters. As a member of the younger generation, Chen Xu has been very popular recently, and many wealthy families who dared not take action against the Jiang and Fu families have set their sights on him.
"Mother, I have a favor to ask of you."
"What's up?"
"I want to invite President Su to dinner, but I don't know how to start the conversation!" Chen Xu said evasively, as if he was in love for the first time, which made Dong Siqing, who had been following behind them, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Brother Xu! Look at how little you can do. Just say no! What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"I'm just afraid of being rejected, right? Siqing, please think more about your brother!"
No matter who looks at it, Chen Xu's current state is like a shy man who desperately wants to pursue his wife.
"Leave it to me! I'll talk to her alone later!"
Looking at Dong Siqing with a clever look on her face, Chen Xu did not refuse, but blushed with an embarrassed expression.
Dong Sijia, who had been watching their every move from a distance, was furious at Chen Xu's expression. He had previously vowed to capture this man, but now he looked like a clown. But what she hated even more was the wife of the Dong family, who remained silent and acquiesced to everything.
The crowd suddenly became noisy. Su Yu came in dressed in formal attire, looking exhausted. Compared with the ladies present who were all wearing dresses and evening gowns, Su Yu seemed out of place at this time, but no one dared to criticize her.
"Boss Su."
"General Su"
Su Yu simply nodded in response to the greetings, without stopping at all, and walked straight to Mrs. Dong and the others.
