Social Death Patient 102
No matter how shocked Mr. Huang was inside, his strong professional qualities allowed him to maintain a calm expression from beginning to end, and he chatted with everyone freely.
Mr. Huang was very gossipy and he deliberately mentioned in a roundabout way that Bai Jiesui had rejected his invitation.
"Why didn't Teacher Xiaobai tell me that you changed your mind so I could make arrangements in advance and avoid troubling Brother Xiaochu to make a special trip?"
Xiao Chu thought Mr. Huang was just being polite and said, "How can I trouble you, Mr. Huang? I should be the one to pick him up."
Bai Jiesui: "It was indeed a last-minute decision to come here, and I didn't want to trouble Mr. Huang."
Grandma Yan: "Xiaobai came here to accompany us old couple. Our houses are next to each other. Xiaobai is a kind-hearted person and came here specially to accompany us."
Mr. Huang couldn't hide his surprise after all, and raised his voice in surprise: "What a coincidence?"
Grandma Yan said cheerfully, "Of course not. When Xiaobai first moved in, we hit it off right away. This child looks so friendly."
Mr. Huang thought to himself, no wonder, it turns out they are neighbors. This also explains why Bai Jiesui knows Yan Yushan.
Mr. Huang: "It's fate that we met today. I'll treat Teacher Xiaobai and the two elders to a simple meal tonight."
He was eloquent and single-handedly grabbed the opportunity to treat everyone.
"I've wanted to host a banquet for Teacher Xiaobai on behalf of our Lujiang for a long time, but I never had the right opportunity. Today, I happened to meet you, and the two elders are here too. This is fate. Don't compete with me for it."
Mr. Huang did what he said and started making phone calls to order food.
After ordering the meal, Mr. Huang discovered that there was one more person at the scene, who was talking to Bai Jiesui.
This man looks unusual, with a tall stature and handsome features.
While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Bai Jiesui, as if she was the only one in his sight, and no one or anything around him could attract his attention.
This doesn't seem like an ordinary relationship at all.
Mr. Huang noticed that he looked familiar and asked Xiao Chu next to him: "Who is this? He looks familiar."
Xiao Chu: "He is the famous writer, Mr. Cao Wu."
There's no need to ask, he must have heard the news and followed here himself. Yan Yushan would never have invited him.
The timing was calculated quite accurately, and we arrived just in time.
Xiao Chu couldn't imagine how angry his boss would be when he came back excitedly after work and saw Zong Jin.
So there was one more person among the people that Mr. Huang invited to dinner.
He ordered a private restaurant inside the hotel. He and his business partners had been there several times and the food was excellent.
Although it was not a serious business banquet, Mr. Huang still couldn't change his business habits. He would talk for a long time after holding a glass, and would immediately take another glass after finishing one.
Mr. Huang had a lot to say, all to thank Bai Jiesui for her support for their Lujiang work.
"Green River's achievements today are all thanks to the support of Teacher Xiaobai. If it weren't for Teacher Xiaobai, Green River wouldn't have become the number one video website in China so quickly..."
Mr. Huang's words of thanks were endless. He had told Baijiesui in advance that she didn't have to drink with him, but he disturbed Baijiesui's meal. The dishes had been served for a quarter of an hour, and Baijiesui only had a bite of the cold dish. He spent the rest of the time listening to Mr. Huang's incessant chatter.
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Mr. Huang.
"Mr. Huang, if you want to thank me, why not be more practical and let Teacher Xiaobai have a bite of hot food."
Zong Jin didn't want to say anything, after all, this was Bai Jiesui's work, but he had already peeled a bowl of shrimp, and if he waited any longer, they would get cold.
Mr. Huang reacted, put down his glass and apologized repeatedly: "I can't stop talking like this. I'm sorry, Teacher Xiaobai. Everyone, eat quickly and don't let the food get cold."
Zong Jin then placed the bowl of shrimps he had peeled in front of Bai Jiesui, moved her empty bowl in front of himself, and continued to peel the shrimps.
The white mustard seemed to have gotten used to it and started eating it naturally.
After eating two or three, she asked Zong Jin to stop peeling and told him to go eat. However, Zong Jin insisted on peeling all the shrimps on his plate and gave all the peeled shrimps to Bai Jiesui.
Mr. Huang was stunned watching from the side.
As far as he knew, this great writer Caowu was a young master from a wealthy family, yet he could actually peel shrimps for white mustard seeds, and it looked like it was not his first time peeling them.
It seemed like everyone was used to it except him.
Especially the relationship between them. Mr. Huang observed for a while and found that they were already very familiar with each other.
Yan Yushan's parents not only care about Bai Jiesui, but are also very loving to Zong Jin, just like they treat their own younger generations.
No matter how smart Mr. Huang was, he couldn't figure out the emotional relationship between them.
Moreover, it is not easy to ask directly about such private matters that have not been made public, but Mr. Huang is extremely curious.
Fortunately, not long after, an opportunity came to Mr. Huang.
During the meal, Bai Jiesui left the table to go to the bathroom. About four or five minutes later, Zong Jin also left.
As soon as the door of the box closed, Mr. Huang started to find out more. He deliberately asked Grandma Yan, who liked to chat about family matters.
"This great writer Caowu is quite kind to Teacher Xiaobai. I saw that he was taking care of Teacher Xiaobai and peeled a lot of shrimp for her."
What Mr. Huang said was still conservative. He not only peeled the shrimps, but also added water.
"The two have known each other for a long time and have been good friends since childhood."
Grandma Yan really lived up to Mr. Huang's expectations. Most of the information he wanted to know was heard from Grandma Yan.
This time, Mr. Huang was certain that Teacher Caowu's feelings towards Baijiesui were definitely different.
Looking at the expressions of the two elders, it seemed that they were unaware of the relationship between Bai Jiesui and Yan Yushan.
Mr. Huang asked tentatively, "Don't you two elders have any opinions on this?"
Grandpa Qi knew that he was a senior executive of the Green River Platform and thought that he wanted to interfere in Bai Jiesui's private affairs, so he was not very happy about it.
"Stay out of your way when it comes to young people's affairs. Don't be as annoying as Yushan."
Mr. Huang: "Why is Teacher Yan so annoying?"
Grandma Yan explained, "Because Xiao Zong and Xiao Bai have a good relationship, he always looks down on Xiao Zong."
"Teacher Yan doesn't like Master Caowu pursuing Teacher Xiaobai?" Mr. Huang was shocked.
Grandma Yan: "You can see that Xiao Zong is a good person. He is smart and has a lot of heart. It's hard to find someone as well-rounded and outstanding as Xiao Zong. You don't know what's going on with him. He just doesn't like Xiao Zong for no reason. I heard that he wanted to cooperate with Xiao Zong before, but now he won't even mention it."
Xiao Chu helplessly explained: "Aunt Jin, things are not as you think. Brother Yan doesn't like him for a reason."
Grandma Yan: "What's the reason? Tell me, what did Xiaozong do wrong?"
Xiao Chu opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't explain, which made Grandma Yan look at him.
Mr. Huang thought to himself that he knew the reason, but he couldn't say it.
This is a shocking secret known only to a few people.
Mr. Huang, who knew the secret, was very worried about Bai Jiesui.
Two extremely outstanding people are pursuing her at once. If it were Mr. Huang, he wouldn't know how to choose.
Mr. Huang poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Bai Jiesui didn't know that Mr. Huang was worried about her, so she started drinking alone.
At this moment, she came out of the bathroom stall and happened to meet an acquaintance.
Zhuo Qi, who had drunk a little too much, sat on the dressing stool to sober up.
It was obvious that Zhuo Qi was out for a social event. She was dressed very formally and had exquisite makeup on her face.
Her purpose of coming to the bathroom was obvious: she came out to avoid drinking.
This time she noticed that Bai Jusui's tone was not as sharp as before. He looked at her for a long time and spoke to her as if she were an old acquaintance.
"Are you here to attend Uncle Yan's premiere?"
Zhuo Qi couldn't think of any other reason.
Bai Jiesui thought that she had no friendship with her, so she just nodded coldly.
"It's great to be recognized as a relative. Uncle Yan will think of you no matter what."
Just like what happened in her dream, in any important occasion, the first person Yan Yushan thought of was always Bai Jie Sui. No matter whether she needed it or not, Yan Yushan would offer it to her with both hands.
Unlike her, she can only rely on herself to get resources and has to drink with investors one glass after another.
Her mother Huaxin was just hospitalized due to alcoholism a few days ago, so she had to attend social events alone today.
Originally, all these resources belonged to her. She should have been the one sitting at the premiere and had the opportunity to meet industry leaders.
Bai Jiesui didn't bother to pay attention to her sour words and walked straight to the basin to wash her hands.
However, Zhuo Qi was still interested in chatting. She stood up from the dressing stool and walked to a position less than two meters behind her.
"Don't you know that Uncle Yan has encountered some problems recently?" Hua Xin went home that night and told Zhuo Qi what happened at the dinner party, and even played the recording to Zhuo Qi.
Bai Jiesui glanced at Zhuo Qi in the mirror, then washed her hands without saying a word.
Zhuo Qi took a step towards her and said, "It's something that will have a huge impact."
After washing his hands, Bai Jiesui found that she was still looking at him, waiting for his response.
She pretended to be mysterious, but in fact she just wanted to attract Bai Jiesui's attention so that she could achieve some of her goals.
It’s a pity that Bai Jiesui had no interest in her topic at all. She took a piece of paper to wipe her hands, turned around and left.
Under the influence of alcohol, Zhuo Qi's reaction was slow. She only reacted and chased after Bai Jiesui after he had left.
"Let me tell you, don't think Uncle Yan cares about you that much. In fact, you and your mother are not that important to Uncle Yan."
Zhuo Qi chased out in a hurry, his hair was messed up, but he found that Bai Jiesui was not the only one outside.
The god Caowu, who had only appeared in her premonition dreams before, was now standing not far away with one hand in his pocket, waiting for Bai Jinsui to come out.
The man who was once terminally ill and on the verge of death recovered his energy and spirit in the blink of an eye, and his aura became even stronger. Just by standing there, he exuded an irresistible aura.
He frowned and looked at him, and Zhuo Qi's heart skipped a beat.
I don’t know if it’s because I was thinking about his inheritance and was hoping for his death, but when he looked at me, Zhuo Qi felt so guilty that he even forgot what he was going to say next.
