"Let's go, we're late." She looked natural, as if she was doing something very ordinary.
Chen Xu knew that this was very unusual. She had mysophobia and would never have physical contact with others unless it was necessary, not just with the opposite sex, but also with the same sex.
Not only did she not reject contact with him, she even took the initiative to hold his hand. This could be considered a breakthrough, indicating that his position in her mind was completely different from that of others.
Speaking of which, he also has to thank Ren Qiao. If it weren't for her appearance and stimulating Xiyun, the change would not have been so fast, and it is not certain how long it would have taken.
He thought this in his heart, and his face was as if nothing had happened. He had to show his usual slowness. If he suddenly became proactive at this time, it would make her suspicious.
She is a person who is very slow to warm up. She needs time for her feelings to mature bit by bit, and she can't be impatient.
The two of them walked hand in hand into the hotel's banquet hall.
The banquet hall had been closed and there were people guarding outside to prevent anyone from breaking in. After Luo Xiyun gave his name, the security guard opened the door and let them in.
When Chen Xu saw the words on the stage, he realized that this was a celebration banquet held by Tianluo Group after it acquired a certain company. Coincidentally, it was a manufacturing company, one of whose businesses was battery manufacturing.
Later, after he developed a new type of lithium battery, he took a small revenge on Luo Zhenghai because of the previous feud. This is the source.
I don’t know what Luo Zhenghai was thinking, he actually entered the physical manufacturing industry at this time.
He had not paid much attention to the movements of the Tianluo Group before. After all, the two industries were very different. His main focus was IT, while the main business of the Tianluo Group was commercial real estate. There was almost no overlap.
Given the size of the Tianluo Group, even if he became the world's richest man, it would be difficult to kill the other party. Similarly, no matter how unhappy Luo Zhenghai was with him, he could do nothing about it and could only stare blankly.
Including Luo Zhenghai, all the senior executives of Tianluo Group were there. And this was only limited to those he knew. There were many more people he didn't know. Anyone who could sit with Luo Zhenghai must be an extraordinary person.
The two of them came in through the gate and attracted a lot of attention. Soon, a waiter came up, asked their names, and took them to a table in the front row where there were two empty seats.
The people sitting at the same table were all middle-aged, both men and women, and they were obviously workplace elites, except for the two of them who were the youngest.
Chen Xu found such occasions quite boring, but on the surface, he still cheered himself up to deal with it. No matter what, he couldn't embarrass Xiyun.
A man in his thirties sitting next to him started chatting with him. Upon asking, he found out that he was a department manager of the Tianluo Group, a senior executive. I guess the other people at the table are about the same level.
In comparison, he, the deputy director of a subsidiary company, was not very impressive. When he heard him introduce himself, the man was quite surprised and lost his enthusiasm for talking. He must have been proud of his status. The other people at the same table also had different expressions.
Chen Xu didn't care. At this time, Luo Zhenghai stood up at the top table not far away and started speaking. For a moment, the whole banquet hall became quiet and everyone looked over. The boss had spoken and no one dared to be distracted.
When he saw this scene, he thought to himself that it seemed that Lao Luo's prestige was still very high after all these years in charge of the Tianluo Group.
Tianluo Group is such a large company, the shareholding structure behind it is very complicated. The Luo family does not own the most shares, so it is naturally not easy to hold on to this position.
Anyway, Chen Xu knew that if he were in his place, he would definitely not be able to handle it. He had to balance the interests of all parties, be careful of those who were holding him back, and also achieve results. Just think about how difficult it is.
Luo Zhenghai's speech was not long and he finished it quickly. At the end, he raised his glass, and everyone present followed suit and drank together.
Then, we could start eating, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Soon, people stood up and toasted each other.
"Xiyun, Chen Xu, you're here, but you didn't even tell me first."
"Boss Liu." He stood up. Now that Liu Kun was his official superior, he naturally had to be more polite.
Luo Xiyun asked, "Where are you sitting?"
"It's over there." Liu Kun pointed behind them. There was a table between them, so it was blocked. No wonder they didn't see it.
"Mr. Luo." "Mr. Luo."
Suddenly, everyone at the table stood up. Chen Xu and the others looked back and saw Luo Zhenghai walking towards them, followed by a few people.
"Xiyun, you're here." Luo Zhenghai walked straight to Luo Xiyun with a smile on his face.
She lowered her head and called, "Mr. Luo."
Luo Zhenghai corrected her, "Why call me Mr. Luo? Call me dad."
At this moment, everyone at the table was shocked. It was the first time for everyone present to know that Luo Zhenghai had a daughter this old.
Luo Xiyun pursed his lips and hadn't uttered the word yet.
Everyone present was a smart person. Just from this one reaction, they could guess that the relationship between the father and daughter was probably not very good.
Luo Zhenghai was embarrassed, but he was not angry. He looked at Chen Xu standing next to her and asked, "Who is this?"
Luo Xiyun said, "His name is Chen Xu, and he is my assistant."
"Oh." Luo Zhenghai looked at Chen Xu for a few times and said, "You are a good young man. You look very energetic."
"Thank you Mr. Luo for the compliment." Chen Xu replied politely.
Luo Zhenghai did not stay long. Before leaving, he said to Luo Xiyun, "Come home for dinner more often when you have time."
"Okay." She agreed anyway.
After Luo Zhenghai left, Liu Kun patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and followed him.
The man sitting next to Chen Xu suddenly said, "I remember that Wanhua Company was founded by Mr. Luo, and now it is taken over by Mr. Luo, which is a good story."
Everyone at the table expressed their agreement.
From being ignored in the beginning to being flattered by everyone now, Chen Xu did not find this change strange. It was human nature.
What he was thinking was that Luo Zhenghai had not introduced the top executives of the group to Luo Xiyun. From this point, it can be seen that Lao Luo was not without temper. When Luo Xiyun changed her words and called him dad, it would probably be the time for her to officially join the Tianluo Group.
This day, I guess, won’t be too late.
