Chapter 195: Meet an acquaintance again. You look like a friend of mine.
"Anan..."
Qi Yan called her softly, rubbing and kissing her face with his soft lips, which was wet and itchy, like a sticky dog washing the face of its beloved owner.
Gu Nan smiled and pushed his face away, "Don't kiss me, it's all saliva."
Qi Yan was unwilling to give up and kissed her lips again.
Gu Nan quickly covered his mouth and glanced at the sky outside the window, "Is the banquet about to start?"
Qi Yan stopped and pulled away slightly, "It's still early, another hour and a half."
It was already late, and it would take an hour or two to put on makeup and do a hairstyle. Gu Nan hadn’t even washed her face.
She sat up and nudged him gently, "Shouldn't you go change your clothes?"
Qi Yan hugged her tightly, as if they were born together. "The old lady didn't let me greet the guests, and I'm very free now."
Cui Ce and Ning Shu are arranged to welcome the guests, with Cui Zhao and Jiang Wan as substitutes. Many elders and important figures will be coming today, and the younger generation cannot control the situation.
Gu Nancai didn't believe it and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door and Cui Weiwei's voice rang out, "Anan, are you awake? It's time to put on makeup and change clothes."
Gu Nan responded, "Get up, I'll be there right away."
She gave Qi Yan a smirk. He must have come up to ask her to put on makeup, but instead of doing anything, he dragged her to kiss him.
Qi Yan confidently grabbed Gu Nan's hand and brought it to his lips, biting it gently. "I couldn't take care of you all night, so I can squeeze in some time now."
"You also know that tonight is a tough battle." Gu Nan turned around in his arms, cupped his face and kissed him hard, using all his strength. "Qi Yan, come on, I'm rooting for you."
Qi Yan heard the "bo" sound and smiled, his fair face serious and focused, "I won't let you down."

Gu Nan walked into the dressing room. Cui Ruo and Cui Weiwei had both finished their makeup and left, only Cui Shuangshuang was still sitting in front of the makeup mirror.
Gu Nan sat down at another table and said to the makeup artist, "Please help me put on some light makeup. If I want to wear lipstick, it's best if it won't stain or fade."
She wants to eat a lot.
Cui Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Even the best lipstick will fade if it gets stained by cups. If you want to prevent it from fading, you have to eat less."
That won’t work, “Then don’t apply it.”
Cui Shuangshuang tilted her head to glance at Gu Nan, smiling broadly. She didn't seem to feel strange or look down upon Gu Nan's behavior of sacrificing the big for the small at such an important banquet. She only suggested:
"Before putting on lipstick, I'll go to the kitchen and eat something to fill my stomach. The dinner is quite long and there are many guests, so it's a bit difficult."
Gu Nan knew that she meant for her not to miss this good opportunity to develop her network, and it was a sincere reminder.
Gu Nan understood, but she had no intention of showing up at the party at all, so she pretended not to understand what she meant.
"Sister, I have a big appetite and I feel uncomfortable when I'm hungry."
Cui Shuangshuang looked at her carefully, and then said: "Look at you, just be happy."
Gu Nan smiled back.
Cui Shuangshuang is as talkative as Cui Weiwei. She is considerate of other people's feelings when speaking. She is considerate with a bit of tact and sincerity, making it very comfortable to get along with her.
When you think about the fact that she holds a director-level position and yet doesn't put on airs at all, it really makes you sigh that each of the Cui family's children is more promising than the other.
Old Madam An taught him well, and with his older brothers and sisters setting such a good example, Qi Yan will definitely have a bright future.
As Gu Nan thought about it, he kept smiling and was in a very good mood.
When Cui Shuangshuang saw Gu Nan laughing happily, the smile on her lips deepened unconsciously.
She could feel that Gu Nan was pure and frank, with a hint of mystery hidden in her frankness. She quietly exuded a magical charm that attracted people to explore. She was a very charming girl.
No wonder.
Gu Nan walked out of the dressing room.
Quite a few people had already arrived at the lobby on the first floor. Except for the old lady and Qi Yan, the rest of the Cui family members were either welcoming guests or chatting with acquaintances, followed by rounds of conversations with familiar or unfamiliar people.
The nimble waiters carried trays and moved among the crowd. The wine in the goblets swayed gently, reflecting fragmented light. The aroma of the wine lingered, forming an intoxicating fragrance in the warm room.
They were well-dressed and chatting happily.
In just a few hours tonight, I wonder how many remarkable collaborations will be born from the mouths of these important figures, and how much unknown news will be passed on by word of mouth in seemingly casual encounters.
Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, the sky in the capital will have changed.
Gu Nan stood upstairs for a while, and only went downstairs to make sure that no one he knew was there. He took a plate and a fork, picked out the things he liked, and found a corner to sit down and happily start eating.
Cui’s food is so delicious.
This is delicious, that is delicious, I can’t name any of them.
The more Gu Nan ate, the more he felt that he was ignorant.
But it doesn't matter, their ultimate fate is to become the fat on her belly.
Gu Nan was so focused on eating that he didn't even notice when someone sat down next to him.
When I looked up, I was almost scared to death by the head that popped over.
"Gu Nan!" Nie Song shouted.
Gu Nan's hand shook, and the piece of cake he had just picked up fell back onto the plate.
Are you sick?
Who is this?
Just as she was about to turn her face cold, she heard Nie Song bumping into his companion's arm and saying excitedly: "Old Shi, I'm telling you I didn't make a mistake!"
Gu Nanmu's face was blank. "Do we know each other?"
Shi Chao was tired and didn't say anything. Nie Song said cheerfully, "I know him. I've seen your short video."
Gu Nan: “…”
What short video? She never posted it, so where did it come from?
Seeing Gu Nan's bewildered look, Nie Song waved his arm and said, "It's okay, it's not important. I just think you look a bit like a friend of mine."
Gu Nan looked suspicious.
The seven words "looks like a friend" are like a curse.
No way, it can't be such a coincidence. Why doesn't she remember making this friend before?
Nie Song suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead. "Look at me, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Nie Song, and his is Shi Chao. We grew up together with Cui Shao and the others, and our families have a good relationship."
He chuckled twice and said familiarly, "We will be a family from now on."
Gu Nan's horrified face.
What family? Who is your family?
What history? Which dynasty?
Could it be that she really met someone she knew?
Gu Nan quickly ate a piece of cake to calm himself down.
Seeing that Gu Nan's face was not looking good, Nie Song thought that he had spoken rudely and scratched his head embarrassedly. "Sorry, I have a rather erratic personality. Well, don't take it to heart."
Gu Nan chewed the cake in his mouth mechanically, shaking his head as he chewed.
This world is too small, too small.
"Do I really look alike with your friend? What's her name?" Gu Nan asked.
Nie Song nodded heavily. "It really looks like her. When I first saw you, I thought I saw... uh, I mistook you for her."
Short video.
Gu Nan was angry.
Who the hell posted this short video!
It turned out that it had been exposed a long time ago, but she didn't know it!
"Her name is Gu Nansheng." Nie Song was completely unaware and exclaimed, "Your names are similar too."
