Chapter 55 An incident at the banquet



Xu Yunzhuo's arrival successfully rescued President Lin.

Su Ling leaned on the sofa, supporting his chin with his right hand and looking at the man behind the desk. He saw that he was concentrating on reviewing the documents seriously.

You actually avoided his question?

Humph~

Let’s sleep in the guest room tonight!

Xu Yunzhuo stood restlessly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. If this document wasn't so important, he wouldn't have risked his life to rush in and interrupt the president's good deeds.

However, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the president seemed relieved when he saw him come in?

Well, it must be an illusion.

After reading the document, Lin Feng asked Xu Yunzhuo a few questions. The two of them talked for a while, picked up the pen and signed.

Xu Yunzhuo took the signed document and respectfully left the office.

After Su Ling and the others left, he stood up from the sofa and walked to Lin Feng's desk. He moved the documents on it to the side, sat down on it, bent down, and put his hands on the man's shoulders.

"Dear, shall we continue with the topic we were discussing?"

Lin Feng held his hand and pecked it on his lips. "I have a party to attend tonight. I'll take you home later."

What an abrupt change of subject!

Su Ling wrinkled his nose and asked, "What party?"

Lin Feng: "The birthday party of the CEO of Xingyao Company."

"The CEO of Xingyao Company?" Su Ling thought for a moment. "Is it Mi Xinghua, the strong woman who got married and divorced three times and finally started her own company from scratch?"

"Yes." Lin Feng said.

Lidya Su raised his delicate eyebrows: "Do you have any business dealings with Xingyao Company?"

Mi Xinghua, a legendary woman in the business world.

In her youth, she was a household name, starring in several classic dramas. At 25, she married a wealthy second-generation man, but divorced within a year, leaving her with a considerable fortune. At 27, she married a wealthy 50-year-old man, but divorced again three years later, receiving another severance pay. At 32, she married an actor five years her junior. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't last long. He cheated on her, and she caught him red-handed, leading to a turbulent marriage that ultimately ended in divorce.

Three failed marriages made Mi Xinghua see through men. At the age of 35, she went into business, starting from selling the smallest buttons and gradually expanding her business. Ten years later, she is now a big shot in the clothing industry of Country Z, with a net worth of over 20 billion yuan and a brand well-known both at home and abroad.

Xingyao Company's clothing is mid-range and quite popular among white-collar workers. At the same time, they contract costumes for major film crews and have close ties with the entertainment industry. Today is the boss's birthday, and there will definitely be many celebrities attending the banquet.

"Our company's work clothes are all from Xingyao Company." Lin Feng stood up, hugged Su Ling's waist, moved him to another position, sorted out the pile of messed up documents, and found an invitation letter from them.

Su Ling took it and looked at it, then said, "I'll go with you."

"Hmm?" Lin Feng placed his hands on either side of his body, bent down slightly, and faced him. "Why do you suddenly want to go with me?"

Su Ling opened his mouth and nibbled his nose, but the other party quickly dodged. He bit his breath and bared his teeth. He said, "There are too many handsome men and beautiful women attending the banquet. I'm afraid you'll be dazzled."

"Silly boy." Lin Feng kissed his cheek, "I only have eyes for you."

"Really?" Su Ling asked.

Silently, his nimble fingers slipped beneath the man's shirt, caressing his perfectly proportioned complexion with a sense of enjoyment, drawing a short gasp from the man. His goal accomplished, he whispered, "I've discovered I know nothing about your social life. After three years of marriage, I don't even recognize your 'good friends'. I'm such a derelict of duty as a partner."

Lin Feng drew his arms together and pulled him into his arms. In an instant, the two of them were pressed tightly together.

"Baby……"

He leaned over and kissed Su Ling on the lips, and Su Ling responded. The two of them kissed for a long time, unable to let go. After they separated, their foreheads pressed against each other. Su Ling licked his slightly moist lips and asked, "Are you getting off work?"

"Yeah." Lin Feng carried him down from the desk and tidied up his clothes that had been lifted up.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the employees of Lin Group Company punched out one after another. Su Ling and Lin Feng left the office and came to the president's special elevator. They pressed the button but there was no response.

"What's going on?" Su Ling looked around in confusion, "Is your company's elevator also breaking down?"

Lin Feng frowned and called Xu Yunzhuo.

Xu Yunzhuo, who was still busy in the office, answered his call, slapped his chin, and explained, "Sorry, Mr. Lin, I forgot to report. The maintenance staff is performing maintenance on your dedicated elevator and will not be finished until six o'clock."

Normally Mr. Lin gets off work around six o'clock, but today he got off work early.

Lin Feng hung up the phone and took Su Ling to the elevator room at the other end and took the staff elevator.

The elevator was descending from the 20th floor. It rarely stopped at the 10th floor at this time, but today it stopped. The people inside subconsciously moved to the side.

The tenth floor is the president's office, and the people coming in and out are basically the company's leaders. Thinking of meeting their superiors, the people who were originally chatting happily in the elevator fell silent.

"bite--"

As the elevator door opened, two handsome men with extraordinary temperament stepped in.

!!

Xiang Jia almost screamed out loud, quickly covered her mouth, and her eyes widened.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

The others were stunned and greeted each other at the same time. When their eyes fell on Su Ling, they showed the same expression as Xiang Jia.

Ahhhh!

The little brother in the live video appeared!

It turns out everything the receptionist said in the WeChat group was true! Their CEO's wife, who's been elusive, has arrived at the company!

Woo woo woo——

Looking at the little brother up close, he is absolutely flawless, with a natural face that has no blind spots from all angles, making people lose their minds.

Of course, Mr. Lin is also a handsome man picked out of a thousand, but he exudes an aloofness that makes people stay away from him. But the little brother is different. His gentle temperament and amiable look make people feel good about him.

Lin Feng responded calmly, holding Su Ling's hand. Standing in the middle of the elevator, Su Ling was calm and composed as he was watched by everyone. Perhaps Xiang Jia's eyes were too intense, so he smiled warmly and said, "Hello."

Xiang Jia blinked in disbelief, thinking she was hallucinating, and stammered in response: "You...you...are..."

Su Ling asked: "Do you know me?"

Lin Feng's sharp eyes swept over Xiang Jia. Xiang Jia swallowed hard, withstood the pressure, and said with a stiff upper lip: "I... I watched your live broadcast... I bought cucumbers and tomatoes... those... were delicious!"

"Really? Thank you for your support." Su Ling said sincerely.

"No...you're welcome." Xiang Jia took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "There were too many people rushing to buy the Rice Flower Fish. It was sold out as soon as it went online today. I hope I can get it next time."

"The netizens are so enthusiastic, it's really difficult." Su Ling paused and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xiang Jia."

"Well... I'll call the village chief tonight and ask him to send you a box of rice fish tomorrow."

"ah?"

Xiang Jia was completely stunned.

"bite--"

When the elevator reached the first floor, Su Ling smiled at Xiang Jia and followed Lin Feng out first.

Xiang Jia felt like she was dreaming and was so happy that she felt like she was about to fly. She excitedly grabbed Qi Li beside her and shook her hard.

"Quick! Quick! Wake me up!"

Qi Li was dizzy from her shaking, and couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her on the back.

“Ah~”

Xiang Jia finally woke up from the pain.

"My idol is going to give me a gift! Hahahaha——" She put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.

Qi Li and others showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

To attend the banquet, they naturally had to dress up carefully. After returning home, Su Ling and Lin Feng took a shower, put on their formal clothes, and asked their exclusive hair stylist to do their hair. At 6:30 in the evening, the two of them took the gifts and drove to the Yakaili Hotel.

Xingyao Company made a big investment and booked the entire hotel. The lobby on the first floor is the reception room, the second floor is for banquets, and the third floor is the lounge.

At this time, the banquet had not yet begun, and the guests, dressed in gorgeous clothes, gathered on the first floor, holding up their glasses and chatting happily.

Standing at the hotel entrance to greet the guests was Mi Xinghua's nephew Mi Zhanglian, 26 years old, who held an important position in Xingyao and was rumored to be one of Mi Xinghua's favored heirs.

"Ah, Mr. Liu, welcome, welcome!" Mi Zhanglian smiled and extended his hand to a middle-aged man with a big belly, warmly welcoming him in.

"Haha, congratulations, congratulations Manager Mi!" Mr. Liu held his hand tightly and kept talking to him.

Although Mi Zhanglian is young, he is good at socializing and has no pressure in socializing.

After chatting for a while, he asked his subordinates to bring General Manager Liu in. General Manager Liu walked in happily. After taking two steps, he suddenly heard Mi Zhanglian shouting loudly, and his enthusiasm was many times higher than when he greeted him.

He turned around curiously to see who the new visitor was.

When he saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and his fat face trembled with excitement.

I saw two young handsome men coming hand in hand. They were wearing high-end couple suits, and they looked dignified and heroic.

The tall man on the left has meticulously combed jet-black hair, a sharp face, three-dimensional and deep features, two thick eyebrows flying, and a pair of dark eyes like deep pools, revealing an indifferent aura that makes people dare not underestimate him.

The young man on the right is tall and slender, with peach blossom eyes that sparkle like stars and ripple with watery light. When he turns slightly, he seems to have infinite tenderness. His delicate facial features are all natural, and his slightly curly shoulder-length hair is styled in a fashionable and natural way. Against his white jade-like face, he exudes aristocratic elegance.

"Mr. Lin, welcome!" Mi Zhanglian was quite surprised to see the head of the Lin Group. Although he had sent the invitation as usual, he had expected the other party to send a representative at most. He never expected that he would come in person!

Not only did he come, he also brought a companion!

President Lin is well-known for his self-discipline in the upper-class social circle. He has always been a loner, but today he was holding hands with another man, and his intimacy was shocking.

"Congratulations." Lin Feng said.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Mi Zhanglian looked at the young man beside him and asked hesitantly, "Who is this...?"

Lin Feng's eyes softened instantly, and he introduced her affectionately, "Su Ling, my partner."

"Hello." Su Ling extended his right hand towards Mi Zhanglian gracefully.

"Hello... hello, I'm Mi Zhanglian. I'm very glad that you can attend my aunt's birthday party." Mi Zhanglian was flattered and shook hands with him. The soft and delicate skin touched lightly, and he almost felt excited. But the other party withdrew his hand quickly. He couldn't help feeling a little lost. He stroked his fingertips, savoring the touch just now.

Lin Feng handed the gift in his hand to him. He politely took it, handed it to the subordinates behind him, and then personally led them to the venue.

Mr. Liu, who had been paying attention to the door, smiled and narrowed his eyes when he saw someone coming in, looking as happy as Maitreya Buddha.

"It's a rare opportunity to run into Mr. Lin at the banquet today. It's been half a year since we last met, right?"

Compared to his attentiveness, Lin Feng's reaction was much more indifferent. "Hello, Mr. Liu."

Mr. Liu wasn't surprised by his indifference. His narrow eyes fixed on Su Ling. "Could this person... be the legendary mistress that Mr. Lin has hidden in his golden house..."

Lin Feng frowned, his face showing displeasure. Boss Liu was quick-witted and slapped himself: "Oh, look at my clumsy mouth! Sorry, sorry! I said the wrong thing, please forgive me, Boss Lin."

Su Ling hated the man's smooth talk and cold attitude, with his chin slightly raised and a look of arrogance on his face.

There's no need to be nice to this greasy middle-aged man with dirty eyes.

So, he doesn't like attending parties.

"I'm a little thirsty." He said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng immediately took him to the reception room and asked the waiter for a glass of juice.

Mr. Liu stood awkwardly at the entrance, watching the two people enter and cause a sensation. Many celebrities gathered around to compliment them, which made people jealous.

Isn't it just that he was blessed by his ancestors, had a good family background, inherited the family business, and picked up a ready-made CEO? Compared with someone like him who started from scratch and struggled in the business world for many years, it was far inferior!

Su Ling accompanied Lin Feng in dealing with wave after wave of celebrities who tried to get close to him. His facial muscles were stiff with laughter. Everyone who learned that he was Lin Feng's partner showed a surprised expression, and the flattery kept pouring out, making his ears burn.

It's too exaggerated!

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Su Ling let go of Lin Feng's hand and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.

"Shall I go with you?" Lin Feng asked.

"No! I'll go by myself!" Su Ling refused outright. He wasn't a child, did he need someone to accompany him? Besides, if he had someone to accompany him, he was afraid of being blocked at the bathroom door.

With the title of President of Lin Group, Lin Feng is very popular wherever he goes.

Seeing his firm attitude, Lin Feng had no choice but to let go and let him go alone.

Su Ling broke free and walked quickly towards the door connecting the living room and the corridor outside the bathroom. Suddenly, he heard a sharp female voice.

"Dad, you have to stand up for me! That Su Qi just filmed a five-million-dollar commercial, and she's showing off in front of me every day. I can't stand it anymore!"

Su Ling stopped and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a girl in a pure white lace dress coquettishly holding the hand of a middle-aged man, with a jealous expression on her pretty face.

"Weiwei, it's not that Dad won't help you. It's really that Su Qi's family background is just as good as ours," the middle-aged man said helplessly. His daughter had recently come to him, crying about being bullied at the academy. He immediately looked up the person's information and discovered that it was actually the daughter of the Su family. The Su family held a significant position in S City, with strong backing and the unfortunate few dared to offend.

Lan Wei stamped her foot and said angrily, "Dad is so useless!"

The middle-aged man coaxed her good-naturedly, "She just filmed a commercial, it's nothing big! Dad has already secured you the role of the third female lead in a fairy tale drama. Let's go for the audition tomorrow, just go through the motions."

Lan Wei's eyes lit up. "Is it 'Xian Lan'? I know this drama! Big budget, big production, the male lead is the newly crowned Best Actor Zhou Ling, and the female lead is the hot young actress Tang Xin!"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, that's it! It's the 'Xian Lan'!"

Lan Wei stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek, saying happily, "Thank you, Dad! Haha! Su Qi filming a commercial is nothing compared to me getting to work with the best actor!"

The middle-aged man patted the back of her hand and said kindly, "Are you happy now?"

"Happy! Of course I'm happy! I can't wait to let my classmates know!" Lan Wei couldn't wait to rush back to the college and show off to her classmates.

"Don't be impatient, wait until the banquet is over. Dad will introduce you to some film producers later, so you have to be polite." said the middle-aged man.

"I know, Dad. I'll be good." Lan Wei smiled like a lady, without any trace of the hostility she had just shown.

Su Ling pursed his lips and heard the conversation between the father and daughter clearly, with anger hidden in his peach blossom eyes.

"Huh? Huh? Junior Su? Why are you standing here?"

Meng Senze came out of the bathroom and was surprised to see Su Ling, his eyes almost popped out.

"I just suspected that I was dazzled. I actually saw you at the party! Have the problems between you and Lin Feng been resolved? Haha, you don't know, when Lin Feng learned that you wanted to divorce him, he almost cried! Of course, you can't tell from his poker face, but who am I? I have lived in the same dormitory with him for four or five years. How could I not know what every expression of his means?" Meng Senze didn't wait for Su Ling to reply, and his mouth kept talking like a machine gun, making Su Ling embarrassed.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Senior Meng was still the same as before, talking to himself without taking a breath.

After he finished speaking, Su Ling said slowly: "Nice to meet you here, Senior Meng."

Meng Senze smiled handsomely: "Where's Lin Feng? Why did they leave you here alone?"

Su Ling said: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Meng Senze raised his eyebrows: "Oh, okay, then you go first, and we'll catch up later."

"Yeah." Su Ling took two steps and suddenly thought of something. He called Meng Senze: "Senior, can you please talk to me for a moment?"

Meng Senze:? ?

Half a minute later, Meng Senze and Su Ling stood at the corner of the corridor. He stroked his chin and said, "That middle-aged man is the general manager of Lanwang Company. He has a daughter who wants to break into the entertainment industry. He's been using connections and backdoors to try to find a good role for his daughter. He recently used his connections to invest in the big IP "Xianlan" and got his daughter the third female role."

Su Ling frowned and asked, "Is there any way to prevent her from being selected?"

Meng Senze tilted his head and lowered his voice: "How did they offend you, my junior?"

Su Ling covered his mouth and said, "Did you know that Su Qi has been selected as the second male lead in "Xian Lan"? "

Meng Senze suddenly realized and pounded his palm. "Okay! No problem!"

Su Qi is Su Ling's biological sister. She recently signed with their company's gold medal agent. Although Meng Senze does not interfere in the business of his subordinates, he cannot be careless when it comes to matters concerning his junior classmates.

Since the little girl named Lan Wei offended the junior, don't blame him for being rude.

Su Ling smiled brightly: "Thank you, senior."

Meng Senze laughed heartily: "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake!"

Su Ling said: "I'm going to the bathroom first."

Meng Senze waved at him and said, "Okay, I'll go to the venue and help you look after Lin Feng."

A group of handsome men and beautiful women came today, some of them have admired Lin Feng for a long time. Seeing that he is alone, they will definitely try their best to get close to him.

Su Ling shrugged, trusting his partner's loyalty. Lin Feng had high standards, and nobody could catch his eye.

When he came out of the bathroom and returned to the venue, he saw Meng Senze holding Lin Feng's shoulders and chatting enthusiastically with a group of people. Wen Xi, who was knocked to the ground by him in the afternoon, was standing aside, saying a few words from time to time.

Su Ling's eyes darkened, a perfect smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Lin Feng with elegant steps, exuding charming charm.

"What are you talking about?" His voice was as sweet as the sound of a piano, and when it was given emotion, it sounded extremely sexy.

In an instant, the people who were chatting and laughing stopped and looked at him at the same time, each with a look of surprise on their face.

Lin Feng ruthlessly pushed Meng Senze away, took Su Ling's hand, and asked softly, "Why did you take so long?"

Su Ling said: "I almost got lost on the way back."

Lin Feng let go of his hand, put his arm around his waist, and whispered in his ear affectionately, "Do you want me to go with you next time?"

His ears were sprayed with hot air, feeling numb and tingling. Su Ling said, "Stop it, you're making fun of yourself."

Watching a joke?

No, no!

Everyone around was shocked, okay?

The man who had a cold and reserved expression just now was now hugging a handsome young man in a sticky manner, which made people stunned.

Lin Feng was disliked by Su Ling, so he became serious again, his hand still around his waist with no intention of letting go.

"He is my partner, Su Ling." He introduced solemnly.

Su Ling smiled politely at everyone. When his eyes fell on Wen Xi, he said in surprise, "We meet again so soon."

A hint of sadness flashed in Wenxi's eyes, and he responded calmly. "Yeah."

Meng Senze didn't know the situation and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

Su Ling said: "I know him. We even played tennis together happily this afternoon."

"Really? That's fate." Meng Senze said, "Wenxi is my cousin. He grew up in Country M and is good at playing tennis. You won't lose if you play against him, right?"

Wen Xi is Senior Meng's cousin? This surprised Su Ling. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked directly at Wen Xi's face and said, "He is indeed very powerful. Fortunately, I am a few years older than him, so I won two games by chance."

Wen Xi was furious, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of so many people of status and position. He forced a smile. "Yes, Brother Su's ball skills are better than mine, especially his serve. I couldn't catch a single one and even fell to the ground a few times."

Meng Senze reached out and rubbed his cousin's head, ruffling his hair. "Junior Su was a famous serve killer in college. It's no wonder you lost to him. It's normal to fall a few times while playing. I remember when Junior Su and I played against each other, I almost broke a bone, hahahaha!"

He smiled, and the others followed suit. Wen Xi lowered her head, appearing shy, but inside she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Is this guy his cousin? Why does he always defend Su Ling?

After that, no one talked anymore because the protagonist of today's birthday party finally appeared.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Su Ling returned to the villa, exuding the sweet smell of fruit wine, and hugged Lin Feng in a daze and acted coquettishly.

"Banquets are so boring. There are always a bunch of flies flying around you!" He pouted and pecked Lin Feng's lips.

Lin Feng helped him sit on the sofa and took off his shoes. "Be good, baby, sit still."

Su Ling stretched out his legs and let him help him take off his shoes. Feeling stuffy, he unbuttoned his suit.

Aunt He heard the noise and came out of the room. Seeing Su Ling lying limply on the sofa, she asked with concern, "Why are you so drunk?"

Lin Feng said helplessly: "He only drank three glasses of fruit wine."

Aunt He shook her head and said, "Mr. Su has a low alcohol tolerance. One glass is fine, but three will make him drunk."

No wonder he rarely went to banquets. What kind of social gathering didn't involve drinking? Forget three, even seven or eight glasses of white wine wouldn't be considered too much. And sometimes they mixed red wine and beer, which was a real pain.

After taking off his suit jacket, Su Ling threw it on the sofa and muttered, "I'm not drunk, I'm sober now!"

"Yes, yes, you are not drunk." Aunt He coaxed him and wiped his hands with a hot towel.

Lin Feng took the hot towel from Aunt He and said, "I'll take him upstairs later. Aunt He, you go and have some rest."

Seeing that he was taking care of Su Ling skillfully, Aunt He did not disturb the young couple and went back to her room.

Lin Feng helped Su Ling wipe his face and helped him walk upstairs. Su Ling shook his head and leaned on his shoulder. Suddenly, his legs went weak and he almost stepped on air. Lin Feng was quick to hug him.

"Woo~ I'm so scared." Su Ling buried her face in his neck.

The author has something to say: Ah, I've finished writing, and today I'll make up for yesterday's ~ wagging my tail ~
