Chapter 226: Why don’t you close the door when you say bad things about others?
"Red Candle Restaurant", a high-end private Cantonese restaurant in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, costs nearly 20 cents per person!
Judging from the chat information in the group, the restaurant for the dinner was temporarily changed here.
Chen Ci could guess without thinking that it must be because she agreed to come, and the organizer You Liqing specially changed the restaurant to save face. After all, it was she who organized and hosted the class reunion last year.
She didn't dress too fancy, but she wore understated designer pieces, none of which were cheap. She also didn't intend to hide her abilities from her old classmates. In Xingxing's words, if she went on her own initiative, it might seem like she was showing off, but if she was "graciously invited," that was a different matter.
Who made them insist on inviting her?
So, although Shen Ciming appeared to be wearing ordinary clothes, he actually wore a "Cartier Limited Edition Bracelet" worth nearly a hundred yuan on his wrist, a "Van Cleef & Arpels Supreme Series" on his neck, and "Graff Yellow Diamond Earrings" on his ears.
She wore red-soled Christian Louboutin high heels, carried a Hermès platinum bag with diamond buckle and rare crocodile leather, and even the perfume she sprayed on her body was "Black Orchid Sea", one of the "extinct famous fragrances in the world", and a single bottle cost nearly "30" yuan.
The total cost of this outfit, from head to toe, inside and out, is at least eight hundred!
And against the backdrop of these luxurious accessories, Shen Ci's fair and beautiful face remains the eternal protagonist.
"Welcome to Red Candle, do you have a reservation, miss?"
The beautiful receptionist in a velvet cheongsam came forward enthusiastically. Chen Ci smiled at her and whispered, "Yayuan private room."
"Okay, please follow me."
Unexpectedly, Shen Ci had just walked less than ten meters with the beautiful receptionist when a surprised voice suddenly called out from behind: "Miss Shen?"
Shen Ci instinctively paused, turned his head and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face appear in front of him.
She paused for a moment before realizing something and quickly responded with a smile, "Boss Huang?"
Shen Ci met this Boss Huang at the Longcheng investor gathering, which was arranged by Lu Jinzhao. She met Brother Xizi and Uncle Yang, including this Boss Huang.
The two of them even added each other on WeChat.
All of a sudden, some trivial information came to mind. Boss Huang had said at the time that they were from the same hometown, both from Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
"Look, I just saw her from a distance and thought I had made a mistake, but then I thought, how many people in this world are as beautiful and elegant as Miss Shen? I must have made no mistake!"
Knowing that Miss Chen is now very close to Brother Xizi in Longcheng and Boss Yang is also very fond of her, Boss Huang naturally did not dare to neglect her and said something nice about her.
Shen Ci understood in his heart, but although the words were a bit false, he was indeed happy to hear them.
"Boss Huang is still so humorous. Are you here for dinner too?"
"Hey, what are you eating? This restaurant is mine!" Boss Huang said with a cheerful expression, "Which private room would you like to use today, Miss Chen? I'll treat you!"
"That's not necessary. We have a class reunion, there are at least twenty people."
"What's wrong with more than 20 people? Are you worried that I can't afford it?" Boss Huang was about to call the manager to make arrangements, but was stopped by Shen Ci.
"Really, no need, thank you. Today's party is organized by someone and paid for by the organizer. It has nothing to do with me."
Boss Huang has been in business for many years and is a shrewd person. Although Shen Ci's words seemed to be nothing wrong, he understood them all at once.
If you have a good relationship with the person who is treating you, even if you don't negotiate for a free meal, you will at least ask him for a discount, right?
But Miss Shen said nothing.
Boss Huang immediately showed an understanding expression and nodded: "Okay, since Miss Shen said so, then next time, the next time Miss Shen brings her family over to eat, please give me a WeChat call in advance. If you feel embarrassed about the free meal, I can give you a 50% discount, right?"
"Of course I want it. Half price is fine. I would feel embarrassed to come if it was free." Chen Ci said with a smile.
The two went upstairs while talking, and Boss Huang personally sent Shen Ci to the door of the box. It seemed that the dishes were in the process of being served, and the door was deliberately not closed tightly, but was ajar.
It was very lively inside. There were more than twenty people sitting around the huge round table, and it was full. The sound of people talking could be clearly heard from the crack in the door.
"What time is it? Why hasn't Chen Ci come yet?"
"I guess she's not coming? She was hesitant from the beginning and said she couldn't come. I think she's just scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Why should she be afraid of Qingqing? Qingqing and Xuzi are together, isn't it embarrassing for her?"
"Hey, do you think she'll date a rich second-generation guy in Longcheng? I heard there are a lot of rich second-generation guys in HKUST."
"I don't know if she's in a relationship, but she's definitely got a lot of people chasing her. Have you seen the picture in her WeChat profile picture? She looks even better than in high school!"
"It must be photoshopped. She's pretty and clean, too!"
"Don't guess, Ah Ci's boyfriend is a policeman, 1.85 meters tall, a native of Longcheng, and incredibly handsome."
"Oh, Weiwei, you know all this? Really, you two are the best. Tell me what else you know?"
"What am I supposed to know about studying in Linhai? But I saw her wearing a Cartier bracelet yesterday. It's a limited edition, so expensive."
"Someone must have given it to her, right?"
"I don't know about that. Don't make wild guesses. Ah Ci isn't that kind of person."
"What did we guess? What kind of person is this..."
Shen Ci listened at the door for a long time, but the expression on his face was very calm and peaceful.
But I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. It was just as Xingxing said. If you didn't come, it would become a topic of conversation, and all kinds of ridiculous rumors would spread like wildfire.
That's really disgusting.
Boss Huang also heard it, and sighed with an ugly expression: "Miss Shen, you are still..."
Shen Ci looked at him and smiled slightly: "Boss Huang, please go and get busy."
After saying that, Shen Ci raised his hand and pushed the door of the box open. The lively atmosphere inside suddenly stopped, and everyone looked towards the door with surprise.
When they saw that the person coming was Chen Ci, everyone showed different expressions, some were shocked, some were surprised, some were amazed, and some were proud...
More than 20 high school classmates' faces entered Shen Ci's sight at the same time, and it was difficult for her to recognize them all at once. She glanced at the whole place with a calm expression while holding her Hermes, and then said in a joking tone: "Why don't you close the door when you say bad things about others?"
Just a few words, but already exuding domineering aura.
If it were someone else, they would definitely pretend not to hear it, but she was too lazy to even pretend, let alone care about these people's face.
Being caught speaking ill of others, the people who had just participated lowered their heads in shame. However, Xia Weiwei came to her senses and stood up to greet them warmly: "Aci, you're here! I told you that you would come, but they didn't believe me!"
Happy Lantern Festival, babies!
I'm stuck here again, and I feel really embarrassed.
