Chapter 510: Go Say Hi
Today's banquet is nominally a private banquet.
But in fact, we have to talk about project cooperation.
So it has a bit of the nature of a business banquet.
For this reason, guests were dressed formally and business-like.
But Luo Yan deliberately told Gu Ziheng that today's banquet was just a purely entertainment-oriented one, and the more gorgeous the dress, the more it would show how much he valued Madam Bai.
Why wasn't Suman wearing a gaudy and old-fashioned red carpet dress as we had heard before?
She should be like Gu Ziheng, a flamboyant pheasant!
Luo Yan's rage was surging.
Everyone in the banquet hall was attracted by Su Man and stopped what they were doing.
No more chatting about the day, no more talking about business,
He looked up, as if to welcome Suman's arrival.
When they saw Luo Yan just now, they praised her with approval, and Luo Yan felt very satisfied.
But now seeing their attitude towards Suman, and comparing it with how she treated herself just now, it was nothing compared to what she had done to herself.
Their praise for Luo Yan just now was just a simple comment.
Now, they were literally admiring a work of art.
The jealousy and unwillingness surged into Luo Yan's heart again.
Su Man was used to such gazes, and walked to Gu Ziheng as if nothing had happened.
When Gu Ziheng saw her, his eyes flashed with surprise.
Furthermore, thinking that Suman was his female companion, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.
His back, which was already straight just now, was now even straighter.
"Why are you wearing this?" Gu Ziheng asked her.
"...You may not believe this, but I helped an old lady catch a robber on the road. My dress got damaged, so I had to change into a new one."
Gu Ziheng was amazed at the coincidence. "Actually, I was thinking of telling you to change your clothes. But when I got to the scene, I noticed everyone was dressed very formally. If you had worn your previous outfit, you would have been gossiped about. This outfit is a good change. It's very suitable for today's occasion."
He was still wearing that flashy floral suit.
He doesn't care.
He is a peacock who likes to show off in public. Wearing this outfit is in line with his usual personality and everyone has become accustomed to it.
When Su Man arrived, she noticed that Gu Ziheng was entertaining people about a construction project.
She was a little confused: "Didn't you say that getting the cooperation quota was a rumor? How come everyone seems to know about this?"
"I don't know. As soon as I arrived, everyone came to congratulate me."
"Don't you think this is a bit strange?"
"Hey, don't worry about it. Everyone has heard about it. Doesn't that prove the truth of the matter? It's a done deal." Gu Ziheng looked proud.
Since Gu Ziheng, the person involved, said so, Su Man, an outsider, couldn't say anything more.
She looked around, trying to find the legendary boss behind the Golden Arch.
The purpose of her coming today was also for the boss of Jinxuanmen, her father, Su Changhai.
"Who are you looking for?" Gu Ziheng noticed Su Man looking around.
"Didn't you say the owner of the Golden Gate would be here today? Has he arrived yet?"
"Probably not."
Su Manqi asked, "Do you know what he looks like?"
"I don't know," Gu Ziheng shook his head. "The owner of the Golden Gate is very mysterious. He's usually nowhere to be found. Few people have ever seen his true face."
"Then how do you know he didn't come?"
"Oh! If such a big shot came, it would definitely cause quite a stir. Everyone would be scrambling to curry his favor. How could the scene be so calm like it is now? Besides, who am I? I'm Haicheng's social butterfly, the social prince. I know everyone here. If there's someone I don't recognize, I might even be suspicious and ask around for you."
"That's right...thank you."
"If you really want to thank me, then get back together with me."
Su Man rolled her eyes at him.
Gu Ziheng turned his eyes away, pretending not to see it.
In fact, in Suman's memory, her father's appearance has become blurred.
But who knows, maybe I’ll remember him the first time I see him.
Su Man looked around again, but still couldn't find anyone who looked like Su Changhai.
Feeling disappointed, he was about to look away when he saw Xiao Beisheng and Luo Yan in a corner of the banquet hall.
Xiao Beisheng is as popular as ever.
The crowd surrounded him, raised their glasses and chatted, observing Xiao Beisheng's expression from time to time.
It has always been like this.
Wherever he is, he is the protagonist of the crowd.
Luo Yan stood beside him, holding his arm, talking and laughing to the crowd, toasting each other, with the demeanor of a hostess.
As if sensing something, Xiao Beisheng raised his eyes and looked towards Su Man.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Xiao Beisheng's dark eyes were calm and deep like the vast ocean. Su Man was unable to fathom the emotions hidden in them, or perhaps, he simply had no feelings for her.
Luo Yan also noticed that Xiao Beisheng was not in good shape, and following Xiao Beisheng's gaze, she saw Su Man.
Just at first glance, you can't help but be amazed.
Su Man's face is so beautiful and gorgeous.
It's hard to ignore.
Even if she convinced herself that Suman was just a pretty face.
But she has a father who was a former mayor, and her family background is much higher than Su Man's.
Suman is just a socialite who is fostered in her aunt's house.
In the end, they will become playthings in the hands of these politicians and wealthy businessmen.
Unlike Luo Yan, he will have his own career in the future and have his own place in the upper class circle of Haicheng.
At home, she can be Xiao Beisheng's good wife, and outside, she can fight side by side with Xiao Beisheng.
But Luo Yan still felt uncomfortable.
Especially when he saw Xiao Beisheng still looking at Su Man, as if he still cared about her.
Xiao Beisheng had previously drawn a line between himself and Su Man, but Su Man was very good at handling relationships between men and women. Xiao Beisheng was attracted by Su Man's extraordinary talent, and if things continued for a long time, there was no guarantee that the spark would not rekindle.
Deep in Luo Yan's heart, a sense of evil arose.
She really wanted to torture Su Man, this delicate and beautiful flower, to death right now.
Luo Yan held Xiao Beisheng's arm tighter, and half of her body leaned in front of Xiao Beisheng.
Xiao Beisheng's body stiffened slightly, but he accepted Luo Yan's closeness and did not push her away. He even raised his hand and hugged Luo Yan's lower back.
The two of them are in an intimate posture.
Su Man felt a little blocked in her heart and turned away.
She still has to continue looking for Su Changhai.
Luo Yan caught a glimpse of Su Man's gloomy expression and felt secretly happy.
After the victory in the first battle, she was not willing to let Suman go so easily.
She also wanted Su Man to be heartbroken and feel ashamed of herself.
"Beisheng, shall we go say hello to Ziheng and the others?" She tugged at Xiao Beisheng's sleeve and asked with a sweet smile.
Xiao Beisheng looked at her bright smile and secretly wondered what tricks she was trying to play.
"Let's go."
She pulled Xiao Beisheng and headed towards Su Man and Gu Ziheng.
