Chapter 82: Flattery
The gathering place was not far from the restaurant.
An ancient small building stood in the city center, blocked by century-old trees. Passersby in a hurry could not even see the whole picture of the building.
Chen Shuneng was so excited to invite Huo Qiao.
He ignored the dissatisfaction of his lover and took Huo Qiao and Pei Yuzhi in directly without eating dinner.
He should be a frequent visitor here. The car stopped at the door for a while, and a man who looked like a security guard approached his car window and said a few words to him.
Soon, Pei Yuzhi's new car without a license plate went in.
"Why are you here? Do you have a grudge with Zhang Bocheng?"
"Of course not." Pei Yu smiled meaningfully, "There may be something good to watch tonight."
Huo Qiao felt a headache for some reason.
"…I have indeed heard of the name Zhang Bocheng. Xie Jinchuan said so."
This statement is of course false.
Zhang Bocheng is the illegitimate son of the Zhang family in Magic City. Although his background is not glorious, he is very good at networking.
He is a few years older than the protagonists in the plot, and he has established his own network of relationships in Magic City early on.
It can be said that this person's ability as a broker is much better than his painting skills.
Perhaps because of his similar identity to Xie Jinchuan, Zhang Bocheng has some sympathy for Xie Jinchuan.
In the plot, even if Xie Jinchuan's identity is recognized by Huo Qiting, he can't enter the upper circle of Magic City for a while.
Thanks to Zhang Bocheng for helping him plan.
But this scheming and resourceful man is no match for the protagonist, Su Su.
In the end, Su Su envied him, so Xie Jinchuan had to distance himself from Zhang Bocheng.
But now it's different, Su Su has a problem.
According to the timeline, Xie Jinchuan and Zhang Bocheng should not know each other until a year later, and there is a possibility of accidents.
Huo Qiao tilted his head, and the man in his sight no longer had a nonchalant expression, his jawline was tightly stretched, as if he had encountered some difficulties.
Zhang Bocheng.
Pei Yuzhi seemed to be too concerned about Zhang Bocheng.
Along the way, they didn't even talk about breaking up.
Even if this person was related to Xie Jinchuan, Huo Qiao still felt uncomfortable.
.. Huo Qiao's stroking fingers twitched slightly.
He quickly curled up his fingers, and the strangeness was suppressed by him.
After Pei Yuzhi parked the car, he turned around and wanted to say something to Huo Qiao, but Huo Qiao only showed him his back.
Bang!
The sound of the car door closing made Pei Yuzhi's eyelashes tremble.
? ?
Why is he suddenly unhappy?
"Huo Qiao, wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"
Pei Yuzhi caught up with him in two steps.
"Don't worry about me."
He was really angry.
"Hubby, you have to take care of me later, you really don't care about me?"
Huo Qiao stopped suddenly.
Pei Yuzhi smiled, his eyes lingering on his red ears.
Tsk, if he didn't want to meet Zhang, Huo Qiao's beautiful red ears should be seen by him.
"Pei Yuzhi, this is the Magic City, stop embarrassing me and talk properly!"
"Aren't you allowed to call me husband?"
"..."
"Wife."
Pei Yuzhi leaned close to Huo Qiao's ear and called out in a low voice.
"The two of us..."
The voice stopped abruptly. Huo Qiao looked at the smiling eyes so close to him. The softness on the lips and the aggressive breath made his mind go blank for a moment.
The tip of his tongue moistened Huo Qiao's lips quietly. Before he could move again, they both heard a sound of footsteps.
"Young Master Huo, you are in a good mood. Chen Shu said you brought someone here. I thought that kid was talking nonsense."
The teasing voice did not contain any malice, but it could be heard that this person was familiar with Huo Qiao.
Pei Yuzhi raised an eyebrow and left Huo Qiao's lips.
Four young men stood a few steps away from them.
The man who spoke was elegant, gentle, and wore a pair of frameless glasses.
The name Zhang Bocheng suddenly appeared in Pei Yuzhi's mind.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
Huo Qiao took a step forward, half of his body blocking Pei Yuzhi.
He actually had a friendship with Zhang Bocheng.
Realizing this, Pei Yuzhi looked at Zhang Bocheng again with unkindness in his eyes.
Zhang Bocheng was a great helper to Xie Jinchuan in the original plot, and the plot did not write that he had any connection with Huo Qiao.
So when Chen Shu mentioned the name Zhang Bocheng, Pei Yuzhi's first thought was that because of his change in the plot, the character Zhang Bocheng appeared earlier.
Pei Yuzhi just wanted to try his luck and verify whether Zhang Bocheng's appearance was related to Xie Jinchuan.
Who would have thought...
"This gentleman seems to know me?" Zhang Bocheng looked at Pei Yuzhi and said with a smile: "Or do you have any opinion of me?"
The hall was suddenly quiet.
Huo Qiao's eyebrows moved slightly.
Pei Yuzhi: "I guess this is Mr. Zhang Bocheng that Mr. Chen mentioned? I have heard of your name for a long time. I have had the honor of appreciating your works."
Zhang Bocheng sneered: "Oh? My work? Which one?"
"I am from Dongsu. The Chinese painting master Mr. Shen Qiu visited Dongsu University not long ago. Among the works he brought with him was Mr. Zhang's "Ming-Xia." "
The pupils behind Zhang Bocheng's glasses trembled slightly.
"Have you ever attended Mr. Shen's class?"
"Not really," Pei Yuzhi laughed, "Mr. Shen Qiu is in poor health, and only a few senior students who study Chinese painting have had the honor of seeing Mr. Shen Qiu in person."
"So that's how it is."
Zhang Bocheng seemed to be thinking about something.
But after Pei Yuzhi's words, he was much less wary of Pei Yuzhi.
Because what Pei Yuzhi said was all true.
"Shall we go in?" Huo Qiao suddenly asked.
Zhang Bocheng immediately came back to his senses. He looked at Huo Qiao with a smile:
"I bought two bottles of good wine in France some time ago. I'll have someone send the wine to your room later. You and Chen Shu can have fun first. I'll go in after I meet the guests I've arranged to meet."
Huo Qiao was about to say something when Pei Yuzhi's voice rang out:
"The guests that Mr. Zhang attaches so much importance to must be very important."
Huo Qiao pursed his thin lips and his eyelids drooped listlessly.
[As expected, Pei Yuzhi has known Zhang Bocheng for a long time. His fawning look is really disgusting.]
Pei Yuzhi, who was aggressive and wanted to find out some clues from Zhang Bocheng's words: ...
When did he fawn?
"Every one of my guests is the most important."
Zhang Bocheng answered flawlessly.
A young man behind him approached him and whispered something.
He said goodbye to Huo Qiao and hurried up the stairs.
Huo Qiao looked at Pei Yuzhi expressionlessly.
Pei Yuzhi was staring at Zhang Bocheng's back as he disappeared down the stairs.
He pulled the corner of his mouth:
"Everyone has gone far away. Do you want me to send you his WeChat?"
"Okay." Pei Yuzhi replied without thinking.
The air suddenly stagnated.
Pei Yuzhi realized belatedly that he had said the wrong thing.
"Huo Qiao, listen to me..."
"No need, I'll send you his WeChat ID, hurry up and get out of here."
"—"
