Chapter 329 Invitation
Lian Xing hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I was just thinking, Jiang Lingchuan and I have been growing up in this kind of relationship and pattern. Even after entering high school and college, I never thought about this aspect of things."
"The main reason is that no girl has ever liked him, or rather, no girl has ever confessed her love to him, because he always wears a pair of thick glasses and looks a bit dull."
"But things are different now. Some girls have started to like him. I feel like it's not good for me to continue like before. I should have some self-awareness."
It was rare for Lianxing to speak so seriously about something, and both Chen Ci and Pili remained silent to listen to her finish.
She sighed slightly, glanced to the side, and said with a melancholy look, "What that girl said just now is not completely unreasonable. I'm not his girlfriend, so why should I order him around? And why should he be so nice to me?"
"After all, Uncle Jiang is my father's employee, but he is not. He is just Uncle Jiang's son, not my servant."
"I think I should have some sense of boundaries. I don't want to affect his relationship with someone else because of me."
After hearing her words, Shen Ci and Pili couldn't help but look at each other.
Pili didn't know much about the relationship between the two, so he didn't say much else.
Chen Ci could understand Lian Xing's thoughts. It seemed that she really had no feelings between men and women for Jiang Lingchuan, at least not yet, otherwise she would not have reacted like this.
So Shen Ci nodded: "If you have such a plan, I will support you."
From her perspective, the two had been too close for over a decade. Although not lovers, they were closer than friends. Their relationship lacked the flexibility and breathing space.
If a line were used to temporarily separate the two people, allowing them to distance themselves and reconsider their relationship, perhaps different results would be achieved.
With Shen Ci's support, Gu Lianxing's heart became much firmer: "I will handle this matter well."
At noon, Shen Ci suddenly received a call from Lu Jinzhao.
"Mr. Lu, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Is it another new project that you're looking for me to invest in?"
Shen Ci picked up the phone and spoke jokingly.
As for Lu Jinzhao, Chen Ci completely accepted him from the bottom of her heart, because Lu Jinzhao played a crucial role in the connections she had accumulated in Longcheng.
She has always been grateful, so whenever Lu Jinzhao asked her for help, she would never hesitate to donate.
"Miss Chen, you're joking. I can't always look for you for investment. If this goes on, won't Miss Chen treat me like a debt collector and avoid me as much as possible?" Lu Jinzhao said with a smile.
Without waiting for Chen Ci to ask again, Lu Jinzhao took the initiative to explain his purpose. "Well, Miss Chen, I see you haven't been active in a while. There's an internet dinner party tonight. I wonder if Miss Chen would be interested?"
"The internet's dinner party?"
"Yes, it's an official event mainly targeting new media and traffic. Participants are all industry insiders, as well as many popular stars and internet celebrities with both popularity and traffic. Is Miss Shen interested?"
Shen Ci smiled and whispered, "It sounds... not very interested."
Lu Jinzhao chuckled at this and added, "I know Miss Chen always keeps a low profile. Don't worry, the media present here today were all invited by our company. When the press release is released, all footage related to Miss Chen will be edited out."
"No one goes to this kind of event just to drink. Socializing is the key. Ms. Shen should know how to benefit from such an event. It would be a shame if she didn't come."
Although Lu Jinzhao didn't say it too clearly, Shen Ci still understood the meaning of his words.
Both my brother and Uncle Yang met at similar events.
If you want to expand your network, you have to go out, this is the minimum!
"Since Mr. Lu said so, I won't refuse. Please send me the time and address. If you need an invitation, you can run an errand to deliver it to my school in the same city."
"Okay, no problem."
"Oh, right!" Chen Ci suddenly remembered Pili and said quickly, "I want to take my best friend with me, is that okay?"
"Of course, Miss Shen's request must be met."
So Shen Ci received two invitations.
"Internet dinner party?" When Pili heard that Chen Ci was going to take her to this party that night, she instinctively refused: "I won't go. I've never been to one!"
"I specifically asked for an extra invitation just to bring you along!" Chen Ci looked at Pili seriously and said, "Everything has a first time. Many top internet celebrities will be attending today. Of course you should go. At least it can broaden your horizons and your knowledge. You're also live streaming now, so to put it bluntly, you're an internet celebrity too."
Pili looked resistant. If you asked her to go on stage to compete, she would definitely do it without hesitation, but she really couldn't adapt to this kind of evening party with all the formalities and toasts.
Chen Ci pulled her up and tried to use force instead of soft tactics: "You must listen to me today. Just think of it as accompanying me. Don't you want to make money? Let me show you what a rich person's party is like first, to give you some motivation."
Half an hour later, the Perak people were already sitting in the styling design studio of the Shuiyunjian Business Club.
“Ms. Shen, what kind of look should I make for your friend?” The designer respectfully asked Shen Ci for her opinion.
Shen Ci said directly: "You are a professional, just design a suitable look for her. She is going to attend a dinner party tonight."
"Okay, no problem."
"Aci..." Pili looked at Chen Ci behind him through the mirror with a bitter and resentful look on his face: "How about this, you know, I basically don't wear makeup."
Shen Ci placed his hands on Pili's shoulders and smiled slightly: "If you behave well today, I will waive the rent for your master's martial arts school for half a year, okay?"
"Makeup! Do whatever you want!" Pili called out to the stylist, "Beautiful lady, take out all your makeup!"
The stylist looked at Shen Ci with a puzzled look and blinked. Shen Ci nodded: "Do it well for my bestie. I'm going to have a coffee with your CEO Zhu first!"
On the other side, Shen Jingjing was also choosing clothes for tonight's private party.
"Is this one better or this one?"
"Do you want a bag?"
"What about shoes? High heels or flats?"
"Would you like to wear jewelry?"
Shen Jingjing took out all the brand-name clothes, Hermès bags, and luxury jewelry that her daughter bought for her. Every time she put together an outfit, she would ask the person sitting in front of her.
It was not anyone else, but Yoda, who was sitting on the sofa with his little black eyes staring!
Mainly because she didn't want to embarrass Deng Xiwen, Shen Jingjing also wanted to attend the party looking pretty and decent.
