Chapter 336 Buff is fully stacked
Shen Ci's words were very sharp, and the men at the table blushed and became angry after hearing them.
But if you think these people are blushing because of shame, you are totally wrong!
Shen Ci didn't expect these arrogant men to get even a sliver of self-reflection from the words of a little girl like her.
They blushed because they were angry at being ruthlessly ridiculed by a little girl but had no place to vent their anger due to the situation.
The atmosphere was so awkward that even Lu Jinzhao was speechless and didn't know how to start.
"Miss Shen is so eloquent that she even brought up Wu Zetian."
Finally, someone tried to speak up, hoping to give these men a way out, but he just smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Qu was just joking. Why take it so seriously?"
Shen Ci looked at Director Qu calmly, his expression unconcealedly gloomy and ugly, obviously because his words had just offended him.
He really does have a big business, but his mind is smaller than a pinhole.
She wasn't specifically targeting Chairman Qu. What she wanted to say was that everyone here was trash!
"A joke is only a joke if both parties find it funny. If only one party finds it funny and the other party feels uncomfortable, then it's not a joke, it's an offense!"
Chen Ci ignored Qu Dong's increasingly ugly expression and continued calmly, "And I'm not angry, I just expressed my feelings. As a woman, even the Martial Emperor is like this, so why should I be angry?"
Lu Jinzhao was already sweating profusely at this time.
He didn't really care about other people's feelings. The only thing he cared about was Miss Shen, the big money sponsor. He had invited her today with good intentions and wanted to help her expand her upper-class network in the new media field, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.
Fortunately, just when he was afraid that things would get out of control, the activity began.
The lights at the scene dimmed instantly, and only the lights on the stage were on. The host of the event was also a well-known host with a certain reputation in China. After speaking according to the procedure, the person in charge of the organizer "Mercedes-Benz" gave a speech on today's event.
Shen Ci listened absent-mindedly and had no interest in this kind of cocktail party or dinner.
Turning my head to look at Pili behind me, I found that her eyes were also dull and her gaze was distracted. Although she was very beautiful, she exuded an aura from the inside out that was incompatible with this activity.
Shen Ci wanted to laugh.
As a result, when he turned his eyes, he met the eyes of another person who was looking at him.
Shen Ci was slightly stunned. Was it him?
The male celebrity who mistook himself for a sasaeng fan on the plane.
Xu Junhuan had actually noticed Chen Ci a long time ago, but her seat was in the front, and even though he was a top-tier star, he could only sit in the second row, so after looking for a long time, he only saw Chen Ci's profile and the back of her head.
They looked at each other unexpectedly. Xu Junhuan nodded as a greeting, and Shen Ci just nodded slightly in response.
The scene suddenly erupted in warm applause, which startled Shen Ci. When she came to her senses, she realized that the person in charge had finished speaking.
The surroundings suddenly became noisy and lively, and the dinner officially began.
Shen Ci took the opportunity to stand up and whispered to Lu Jinzhao, "I'm going to the bathroom."
As she moved, the gazes of the others at the table followed her. Only after she had walked away did Director Qu sneer and shake his head, saying with the tone of someone who had experienced it, "You're so young and too aggressive. Sooner or later, you'll hit a wall."
Lu Jinzhao said with displeasure: "Mr. Qu, Miss Shen is my friend. If you have any opinions about her, you can tell me instead of deliberately angering her in this situation."
As the boss of the same company, Lu Jinzhao is not afraid of the other party. He usually maintains harmony and decency on the surface, but if the line is really crossed, he will not be a coward.
The same is true for Qu Dong.
He turned his head to look at Lu Jinzhao, and said meaningfully, "Mr. Lu, this Miss Shen has invested in several projects of your company. I understand that you care about her, but the rest of us have no vested interests in her."
"She's just a yellow-haired girl. How much respect do you expect me to give her?"
"Ms. Chen earned her reputation on her own. She doesn't need Director Qu to give it to her." Lu Jinzhao's anger rose, and his tone became more serious: "Director Qu, don't take yourself too seriously. When you see a young and beautiful person, you can't help but give them advice, regardless of whether others need it or not!"
This sentence can be said to have completely trampled on Mr. Qu's face.
Everyone looked slightly startled and quickly tried to persuade them to reconcile.
"Oh, no, not really."
"We were just talking nonsense. Mr. Lu, you're being too harsh!"
"That's right, just stop talking!"
Director Qu was also very surprised. He didn't expect Lu Jinzhao to speak so rudely to him for such a girl.
"We have known each other for so many years, and it seems that you are determined to turn against me for a little girl?" Director Qu asked coldly.
Lu Jinzhao slowly stood up, looked at Director Qu and said, "Ms. Shen is currently the largest investor in Jinxiao. If you upset her, you'll destroy my job. Director Qu has messed with the wrong person!"
After saying that, Lu Jinzhao turned around and left the table. Director Qu sat in his seat with a face distorted with anger.
In the bathroom, after Shen Ci washed her hands, she came out and found Lu Jinzhao waiting outside. She looked around with a look of surprise before saying, "Mr. Lu is waiting for me?"
Lu Jinzhao felt sorry from the bottom of his heart, so he stepped forward with a guilty look and said, "Ms. Shen, I'm really sorry for today. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant and rude."
"When you guys got together before, there were rarely any female classmates of the same status, right? There were definitely none at my age, right?" Chen Ci asked with a smile.
Lu Jinzhao thought about it and realized that in this industry, there were women with status and experience, but they were rare, and there was really no one as young as Miss Shen.
Lu Jinzhao nodded.
Chen Ci smiled helplessly. "This matter has nothing to do with you. If I were to switch genders today, I might get compliments like young talent or promising young talent. The words 'woman' and 'successful' combined are enough to spark these people's imaginations. If I add 'young' to the mix, then my 'buff' would be fully stacked."
"They didn't show any emotion before because there wasn't anyone like me. Mr. Lu doesn't need to take responsibility for people like me. In their eyes, they would rather believe in aliens and monsters than the existence of successful young women!"
These words made Lu Jinzhao feel even more ashamed.
"Anyway, I tried my best to invite Miss Shen here today. I didn't expect Miss Shen's experience to be so bad. I'm really sorry."
