Chapter 319 The boss lady came to check on me
The most upscale private rooms at Shanhaiyan are all on the top floor.
The carved wall decorations create a luxurious yet elegant atmosphere. The corridor's lighting is dim but not glaring, creating a hazy atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow, with bright and dark moments, and the shadow puppetry created by the lighting effects is quite interesting.
When Qiao Xi followed Lao Chen to the rooftop corridor, she saw the ever-changing lighting effects. The light and shadows were dreamy and high-end. She didn't know who designed it.
The door of the box at the end of the corridor opened, and a long line of waiters came out with trays in their hands. They looked very qualified.
When they saw Lao Chen and Qiao Xi, they also greeted them politely.
But Qiao Xi heard them whispering as they turned the corner.
"The guy in box 555 is Mr. Huo from Tianyuan Group. He's even more handsome in person than any idol star. They also served a few bottles of expensive red wine. It's a pity that we don't have Romanee-Conti at Shanhai Feast."
"The other one isn't bad either. I think both men have their own merits. I heard he comes from a prominent family in the imperial capital, and he's not married yet."
"There were dozens of people in the room, and the alcohol consumption exceeded one million. I think the two big bosses drank quite a bit too..."
"That's right. Many of my men are already drunk. But we made a lot of tips tonight. Why can't such a generous, rich and handsome man be interested in me?"
Qiao Xi listened carefully.
She pursed her lips and looked at the closed box door at the end, feeling a little hesitant.
I heard the Zhong family in the imperial capital was difficult to deal with, and even Huo Xingzhou had to fight them back and forth. A few waiters had just said that both bosses had been drinking heavily, and the atmosphere inside was probably tense.
If she rushes in rashly, will something bad happen?
"Old Chen." Qiao Xi called out.
"Young Madam, what's wrong?"
"How about we wait outside first, I'll send a message to Mr. Huo. Otherwise, I'm afraid something bad might happen."
Some big bosses behave in strange ways. For example, they look at employees' horoscopes when recruiting, and are averse to women appearing in the business world. Those messy rules and details can sometimes ruin a collaboration.
I wonder if this Mr. Zhong is so perverted!
But from the few rumors she heard about him, she also felt that he was not easy to talk to.
Qiao Xi saw a row of leather lounge chairs on the other side of the corridor and asked Lao Chen to sit down.
"Then, young madam, I'll get you a private room. It's not appropriate to sit outside with so many guests coming and going, and I'm afraid some drunks might bump into you." Old Chen was very thoughtful.
Qiao Xi originally subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then she remembered what the man said: Don’t save money for him!
She nodded.
"Well, I don't know how long it will take them to finish." She glanced at her phone screen and saw that it was only eight o'clock in the evening and the nightlife had just begun.
Old Chen glanced at her worriedly and said, "Young Madam, I'll be there soon! Please be careful and don't run around!"
"I know."
Qiao Xi said softly.
She took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Huo Xingzhou.
…
In the private room of Shanhai Banquet.
The project team, led by Tianyuan Group manager Jin Kai, and the underlings of Emperor Zhong Shao were drinking enthusiastically, as if they were determined to determine the winner. Zhou Yu didn't come tonight, so the two sides drank evenly.
Huo Xingzhou sat on one side of the couch, a red wine glass swaying in his hand. His hair was slightly damp, and his eyes were exceptionally dark and deep.
On the other side sat a handsome and elegant young man from the imperial capital. He had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes, stained with alcohol, were even more tender and beautiful. He raised his glass and clinked it with Huo Xingzhou's.
bite.
The wine glasses collided, making a crisp sound.
Young Master Zhong leaned on the edge of the sofa with one hand, his cold white skin stained a faint red, and even his voice was slightly drunk: "Could it be that Mr. Huo can't drink anymore?"
Huo Xingzhou drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
He put down his wine glass, his eyes dark and swirling: "I've finished drinking. When will the contract be signed?"
Both parties cooperate, but to a certain extent.
No one can go too far.
Young Master Zhong chuckled and said, "Sign it tomorrow. I will go to Tianyuan Group to sign it in person." He couldn't rely on the Zhong family's overwhelming power in the imperial capital to force Huo Xingzhou to give in.
If pressed to the limit, Tianyuan Group can also look for its next partner in the capital.
Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes, and glanced at the group of people drinking over there. He said lightly: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."
Zhong Shao raised his eyebrows: "Is it too late at this time?"
The man raised his eyes, hiding a faint smile: "I am a family man, so naturally I have to go home early. I can't compare to Master Zhong who is single and has no one to restrain him."
Everyone in the box laughed good-naturedly when they heard this.
Jin Kai, the manager of Tianyuan Group, laughed even louder. "Our President Huo is a good man, and he and his wife are very much in love. You people in the capital may not know this, but our wife is the apprentice of Cheng Han, the national doctor. She's beautiful and capable. If you want to marry a wife in the future, you'll have to marry someone like her!"
He poured a glass of wine for Master Zhong. "Master Zhong, with such good conditions, there must be no shortage of women pursuing you. Do you prefer girls from the capital or girls from Haicheng?"
Zhong Shao picked up the wine glass, took a sip and asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to marry someone like your boss's wife?"
Jin Kai smiled brightly, "Then I will introduce you to a girl from Haicheng."
Just happened.
Huo Xingzhou's cell phone, which was placed on the table, vibrated, and the screen lit up, showing an unread message from his wife.
Jin Kai, emboldened by the wine, even dared to tease Huo Xingzhou: "Look, our boss lady is here to check on us."
Huo Xingzhou's eyelashes flickered slightly, and he picked up the phone to see the content sent by Qiao Xi.
"Mr. Huo, I'll wait for you outside the box."
His fingers paused and he looked up at the closed door of the box.
She actually came to the Shanhai Banquet!
Huo Xingzhou turned off his phone, looked at everyone and said calmly, "Someone is here to take me home. Enjoy your time, everyone."
"Mr. Huo, who is it?"
"Could it be the boss lady? I'm almost full of dog food tonight."
"Look, someone's answering the phone. Single guys like us don't even have a pot of hot tea to drink when we get home."
Huo Xingzhou didn't deny it, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "It's her. I have a bad stomach, and she's always worried that I drink too much. She's right outside the door, and I can't keep her waiting for too long."
Jin Kai took the lead in the commotion, saying, "Everyone's here, so they have to show up!"
The people from the Imperial Capital Project Team also echoed: "Yes, we also want to see what the boss lady that Manager Jin mentioned is like."
"Bring it in and let me see it."
Huo Xingzhou didn't want to hide it in the first place, so he said, "Okay, I'll ask her."
He stood up and walked towards the box door.
"Cough cough cough..." A violent coughing sound broke out in the box.
Master Zhong clutched his chest, his cold, pale face tinged with rouge, his eyes misty with water. He winked at his assistant, Wan Jiang, who was standing beside him.
Wan Jiang was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Mr. Zhong seems unwilling to meet Miss Qiao. What should we do now?
Last time I was able to break the appointment, but this time they came to the door of the box.
Neither advancing nor retreating is possible.
