Chapter 55 An incident at the banquet



Xu Yunzhuo's arrival successfully rescued President Lu.

Su Ling leaned on the sofa, holding 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?

Hum~

Let’s sleep in the guest room at night!

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

However, maybe it was an illusion, but the president seemed relieved when he saw him come in?

Hmm, it must be an illusion.

After reading the document, Xu Feng asked Xu Yunzhuo a few questions. The two discussed it 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 got up from the sofa, walked to Lu Feng's desk, 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 talking about?"

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

What an abrupt change of topic!

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

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

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

"Yes." said Lu Feng.

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

Mi Xinghua, a legendary woman in the business world.

When she was young, she was a household name and starred in several classic dramas. At the age of 25, she married a rich second-generation man, but divorced in less than a year and got a lot of money. At the age of 27, she married a 50-year-old rich man. Three years later, she divorced again and got another breakup fee. At the age of 32, she married a movie star who was five years younger than her. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The movie star cheated on her and she caught him. There was a lot of trouble and they finally divorced.

After three failed marriages, Mi Xinghua saw through men. At the age of 35, she went into business, starting with 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 and a brand that is famous both at home and abroad.

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

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

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

"Hmm?" Lu Feng placed his hands on his sides, bent slightly, and faced him. "Why do you suddenly want to go with me?"

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

"Silly boy." Lu Feng kissed his cheek, "You are the only one in my eyes."

"Really?" Su Ling asked.

The nimble fingers silently slipped into the man's shirt, stroking the perfectly symmetrical complex parts with enjoyment, causing the man to gasp. His goal was achieved, and he whispered, "I found that I know nothing about your social life. After three years of marriage, I don't even know your 'good friends'. This partner is really a failure."

Lu 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 to kiss Su Ling's lips, and Su Ling responded. The two kissed for a long time. After they separated, they rested their foreheads against each other, and Su Ling licked her slightly wet lips and asked, "Are you getting off work?"

"Yeah." Lu 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 the Rui Group punched out of get off work one after another. Su Ling and Rui Feng left the office and went 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, "Your company's elevator also broke down?"

Lu Feng frowned and called Xu Yunzhuo.

Xu Yunzhuo, who was still busy in the office, answered his call, patted his forehead, and explained: "Sorry, President, I forgot to report that the maintenance personnel are maintaining your special elevator and will not be finished until six o'clock."

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

Lu 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. Normally, it rarely stopped at the 10th floor, 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 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 in shock and quickly covered his mouth with his eyes wide open.

"Hello, Mr. Rui!"

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 that what the front desk lady said in the WeChat group was true! Their president’s wife, who was always around, came to the company!

Wuwuwu——

Looking at the little brother up close, he is absolutely flawless, with a natural face that is breathtaking from all angles, making people feel distracted.

Of course, Mr. Luo is also a handsome man, but he exudes a cold air 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.

Lu Feng responded calmly, holding Su Ling's hand, and standing in the middle of the elevator. Su Ling was calm and composed as he was watched by the crowd. Perhaps Xiang Jia's eyes were too passionate, so he smiled cordially and said, "Hello."

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

Su Ling asked, "Do you know me?"

Li Feng's sharp eyes swept towards Xiang Jia. Xiang Jia swallowed his saliva, withstood the pressure, and said with a stiff upper lip: "I... I watched your live broadcast... I bought cucumbers and tomatoes... That one... was 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 a little 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--"

The elevator reached the first floor. Su Ling smiled at Xiang Jia and followed Lu Feng out first.

Xiang Jia felt as if she was dreaming and was about to fly with happiness. She excitedly grabbed Qi Li beside her and shook her violently.

"Quick! Quick! Wake me up!"

Qi Li was dizzy from being shaken by her and couldn't bear it anymore so she slapped her on the back.

“Ah~”

Xiang Jia finally came to his senses from the pain.

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

Qi Li and the others showed expressions of envy and hatred.

To attend the banquet, they naturally had to dress up carefully. After returning home, Su Ling and Lu Feng took a shower, put on their best clothes, and asked their personal hairstylist to do their hair. At 6:30 in the evening, the two of them took their 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 hall, the second floor is for banquets, and the third floor is the lounge.

At this time, the banquet had not yet begun. The guests, who were dressed brilliantly, gathered on the first floor, raising their glasses and chatting happily.

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

"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 to Manager Mi!" President Liu held his hand tightly and kept saying congratulations 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 Liu in. General Liu walked in happily, and just 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, wanting to see who the new visitor was.

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

Two young handsome men came hand in hand. They were wearing high-end couple suits and looked dignified and heroic.

The tall man on the left has neatly combed jet-black hair, a sharp face, deep and three-dimensional features, two thick eyebrows flying up, 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 are watery and glistening. When he turns his eyes 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. Set against his white jade face, he exudes an aristocratic elegance.

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

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

President Ruida is well-known for his aloofness in the upper social circle. He has always kept to himself, but today he was holding hands with another man, and his intimacy was shocking.

"Congratulations." said Lu Feng.

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

Lu Feng's eyes softened instantly, and he introduced her in an intimate tone: "Su Ling, my partner."

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

"Hello... I'm Mi Zhanglian. I'm glad you can attend my aunt's birthday party." Mi Zhanglian shook hands with him flattered. The gentle touch of the warm and delicate skin almost made him feel excited, but the other party withdrew his hand very quickly. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He rubbed his fingertips, savoring the touch just now.

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

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

"It's a rare opportunity to meet President Rui at the banquet today. It's been half a year since we last met, right?"

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

President Liu was not surprised by his indifference, and stared at Su Ling with his slender eyes. "Could this person... be the one that President Liu kept as his mistress in the legend..."

Lu Fengjian frowned, looking unhappy. President Liu was quick-witted and slapped himself: "Oh, look at my stupid mouth! Sorry, sorry! I said something wrong, please forgive me, President Lu."

Su Ling hated this man's smooth talk, cold attitude, chin slightly raised, and arrogant look on his face.

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

That's why he doesn't like attending parties.

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

Lu Feng immediately took him to the living 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 stir. Many celebrities gathered over to compliment them, making people jealous.

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

Su Ling accompanied Rui Feng to deal with wave after wave of celebrities who tried to get close to him. He smiled until the muscles on his face were stiff. Everyone who learned that he was Rui Feng's partner showed a surprised expression, and the flattery kept pouring out, making his ears burn.

That's too exaggerated!

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

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

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

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

Seeing that he was determined, Lu Feng had no choice but to let him go alone.

Su Ling took off his clothes 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 any more!"

Su Ling stopped and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a young 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 doesn't want to help you, it's that Su Qi's family background is not worse than ours." The middle-aged man said helplessly. His daughter cried to him some time ago that she was bullied in college, and he immediately looked up the other party's information, but he didn't know that she was the daughter of the Su family. The Su family has a very important position in S City, and there are people behind them to support them, so most people dare not offend them.

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

The middle-aged man coaxed her in a good-natured way: "She just filmed an advertisement, it's nothing big! Dad has already found you the third female role in a fairy tale drama. Let's go for an audition tomorrow, just go through the motions."

Lan Wei's eyes lit up. "Is it 'Xian Lan'? I know this drama! It's a big investment, a big production, the male lead is the newly crowned film emperor Zhou Ling, and the female lead is the recently popular young actress Tang Xin!"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, that's right, it's this "Xianlan"!"

Lan Wei stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek, and said happily: "Thank you, Dad! Haha! It's nothing for Su Qi to shoot an advertisement. I'm going to work with the movie king!"

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 wanted to rush back to 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 that she had just shown.

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

"Eh? Eh? 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 banquet! Have the problems between you and Lu Feng been resolved? Haha, you don't know, Lu Feng almost cried when he learned that you were going to divorce him! 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. His mouth kept talking like a machine gun, making Su Ling blush.

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, "It's nice to see you here, Senior Meng."

Meng Senze smiled handsomely: "Where is Lu 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, we will talk about the past later."

"Hmm." Su Ling took two steps and suddenly thought of something. He called Meng Senze: "Senior, can you please have a word with me?"

Meng Senze: ? ?

Half a minute later, Meng Senze and Su Ling stood at the corner of the corridor, touching their chins and saying, "The middle-aged man is the general manager of Lanwang Company. He has a daughter who wants to get into the entertainment industry. He used connections and backdoors to try to find a good role for his daughter. Recently, he used his connections to participate in the investment of the big IP "Xianlan" and got a third female role for his daughter."

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

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

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

Meng Senze suddenly realized what was going on and slapped his palm. "Okay! No problem!"

Su Qi is Su Ling's biological sister and was recently signed as 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 fellow students.

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

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

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

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

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

A group of handsome men and beautiful women came today, some of them have admired Lu 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. Lu 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 Lu Feng's shoulders and chatting enthusiastically with a group of people, while 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 Lu Feng with graceful steps, emitting charming charm.

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

All of a sudden, the people who were talking and laughing stopped and looked at him at the same time, each with a look of surprise on their face.

Ruthlessly pushing Meng Senze away, Lu Feng held Su Ling's hand and asked softly, "Why did you take so long?"

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

Li 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?"

The ears were sprayed with hot air, and they felt numb and tingling. Su Ling said, "Stop it. You're making fun of yourself."

Watching a joke?

No, no!

Everyone around was stunned, okay?

The man who had a cold and speechless look just now was now hugging a handsome young man in a sticky way, which was really shocking.

After being rejected by Su Ling, Lu Feng returned to his serious demeanor, still holding his hands around his waist without any intention of loosening.

"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."

Wen Xi's eyes flashed with sadness, and he responded calmly. "Yeah."

Meng Senze was unaware of the situation and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

Su Ling said, "Yes, we played a game of tennis together happily this afternoon."

"Really? That's a perfect 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. With a smile on his face, he looked directly at Wen Xi and said, "He is indeed amazing. Fortunately, I am a few years older than him. Fortunately, I won two games."

Wen Xi was furious, but he dared not lose his temper in front of so many people of status and position, so he forced himself to smile. "Yes, Brother Su's tennis skills are better than mine, especially his serve. I couldn't catch any of them and even fell to the ground a few times."

Meng Senze reached out and rubbed his cousin's head, messing up his hairstyle. "When Junior Su was in college, he was a famous serve killer. It's not unfair that you lost to him. It's normal to fall a few times while playing. I almost broke my bones when I played against Junior Su. Hahahaha!"

He smiled, and everyone else followed suit. Wen Xi lowered his head, appearing shy, but inside he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Is this man 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 Lu Feng in a daze and acted coquettishly.

"Banquets are so boring, there are always a bunch of flies circling around you!" He pouted and pecked at her lips.

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

Su Ling stretched out her legs and let him help her take off her shoes. She felt stuffy and unbuttoned her suit.

Aunt He heard the noise and came out of the room. Seeing Su Ling lying softly on the sofa, she asked with concern, "Why did you drink so much?"

Lu 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 glasses will make him drunk."

No wonder he rarely went to banquets. How could he not drink at social events? Not to mention three cups, even seven or eight cups of white wine at the table were not too much, not to mention some mixed red wine and beer, which was really a torture.

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

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

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

After helping Su Ling wipe his face, Ru Feng helped him walk upstairs. Su Ling shook his head and leaned on his shoulder. Suddenly, his legs went weak and he almost missed a step. Ru Feng was quick to catch him.

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

The author has something to say: Ah, I've finished writing. Today I'll make up for yesterday's ~ wagging the tail ~

I should have a few more chapters in the city before I return to the village and continue farming.

There is still a lot of work waiting to be done~
