Chapter 195 is really lively.
The banquet hall after the press conference
The sounds of conversation and the clinking of glasses filled the air.
There were also many unfamiliar faces, mostly second-generation rich kids and socialites who wanted to expand their networks or find a good match.
They mingled among them, becoming a highlight of this commercial extravaganza.
Lin Wei changed into a sea-blue fishtail gown, the fabric of which had a subtle pearlescent sheen.
It shimmered under the lavish lights.
She styled her hair in a bun, which accentuated her beautiful facial features and cool, aloof demeanor.
Her gentleness and competence blend in a wonderful way, making her stand out in a crowd.
Li Jun was chatting with several familiar second-generation rich kids.
While tilting my head back to drink, my gaze happened to catch that blue figure.
His eyes lit up instantly, and his gaze unconsciously followed her.
He recognized her at a glance; she was the mother of the little girl in the hospital.
Looking at her composed and aloof demeanor at the business banquet,
A sense of curiosity began to grow in my heart.
He instinctively picked up the champagne glass, pushed through the crowd, and walked towards her.
He stopped in front of her, a gentle smile on his face, and offered her a wine glass.
"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. Would you like to have a drink?"
Lin Wei turned her head upon hearing the sound, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"I never expected to run into you here."
She was indeed somewhat surprised by the doctor at the hospital who had been accidentally bumped into by her daughter.
They even showed up at such a banquet.
“My father is one of the sponsors of this expo, so I’m just here to join in the fun.”
Li Jun gazed at her with gentle eyes.
"President Lin is young and promising, truly admirable."
"If it's convenient, could we exchange contact information? We can be friends in business from now on."
Anna leaned closer and whispered a reminder.
"President Lin, this is the young master of the Li Group."
Lin Wei's expression returned to normal, and she gave him a faint smile.
"It's an honor."
She took out her phone, opened the QR code, and handed it over.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Gu Jingcheng, who had just escaped a group of enemies.
He was still wearing that striking pink suit, attracting flirtations wherever he went.
Several executives surrounded him, speaking earnestly.
They simply wanted to get a piece of the pie from Jingcheng Group's lucrative project.
Such a good opportunity, I naturally want to curry favor with them, even just to become a familiar face.
Gu Jingcheng's gaze swept past those fawning smiles.
Seeing Weiwei being approached by a man younger than her, his eyes darkened.
She tightened her grip on the champagne glass and gave Qiu Cheng a wink.
Qiu Cheng understood and stepped forward.
He separated Gu Jingcheng from the several bosses who were still chattering away.
Gu Jingcheng walked through the crowd towards Lin Wei.
Lin Wei's expression remained unchanged; she moved in the opposite direction without making a sound.
He joined the other CEOs in clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
Li Jun followed her at a respectable distance, looking every bit the protector of a flower.
She didn't point it out; such occasions are often chaotic and unpredictable.
Having a male companion by your side can definitely save you a lot of trouble.
If Shi Yanzhou hadn't had to temporarily return to Lancheng to handle company affairs, it should have been him standing next to her.
Gu Jingcheng stared intently at Li Jun.
My mind was in turmoil.
He deliberately wore this eye-catching pink outfit, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
But then a clueless "puppy" appeared by her side?
An unnamed anger surged up within him.
"It's really lively."
Gu Jingcheng's deep voice carried a hint of coldness.
The company executives who were originally talking with Lin Wei and Li Jun,
Upon seeing Gu Jingcheng, their eyes lit up instantly, and they all raised their glasses and surrounded him.
"Mr. Gu, it's truly an honor to have a drink with you here!"
"Mr. Gu, our company has some preliminary ideas for the new project..."
"Mr. Gu, when would be a convenient time for me to pay you a visit..."
Lin Wei and Li Jun were instantly pushed to the outer edge of the crowd.
Gu Jingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, then perfunctorily clinked glasses with those around him.
He walked straight up to Lin Wei, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Mr. Lin, won't you do me the honor of having a drink?"
Those present were all seasoned business veterans, and naturally understood the key to their success.
So, the public's attitude, which had just been fawning over Gu Jingcheng, instantly changed.
"President Lin, it turns out you and President Gu are acquainted."
"President Lin, let me toast you. I hope you will continue to take care of me in the future."
Lin Wei accepted each of the insincere toasts.
After a few drinks, I felt my cheeks getting a little warm.
During the break, place the empty glass on the waiter's tray.
"Excuse me, I'll be there for a moment."
She walked towards the restroom in her high heels.
Gu Jingcheng put down his wine glass and followed closely behind.
