Grandpa Guo is Guo Xuchuan's grandfather.
The Guo family runs a restaurant business, with 'Guo's Restaurant' having branches in many cities across the country. However, even so, the Guo family is still far behind the Shang, Xie, and Gu families.
However, because Guo Xuchuan had a good relationship with Prince Shang and Second Young Master Xie, and Old Master Guo had a good relationship with Old Master Gu, many nobles in the capital came specifically for these three families.
For businesspeople, this kind of occasion is a networking event!
Gu knew they were going to drink, so he specially brought Mo Xin along!
After presenting birthday gifts to Old Master Guo and extending his regards to Old Master Gu, he took the initiative to approach Shang Yan and Xie Nanzhou, who were chatting, and addressed them as "President Shang, President Xie."
Xie Nanzhou smiled and teased him, "You and Yu Sheng have already registered your marriage, why are you still calling him President Shang? You should call him Brother!"
Gu Ye appears gentle on the surface, but he is wild and unruly at heart; he belongs to the type who is kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside.
He couldn't stand Shang Yan and Xie Nanzhou for acting superior in front of him just because they were a few years older and had achieved some success.
She especially disliked Shang Yan, because not only was he unkind to Yu Sheng, but he also always seemed to look down on her.
He may disapprove, but he won't show it.
"Mr. Xie is right."
Gu Ye finished speaking with a smile, looked at Shang Yan, and even called him "brother" on the tip of his tongue, but Shang Yan said in a calm tone, "I didn't bring any change of address fee today."
Gu Ye's smile froze; it was obvious they didn't want him to call him 'brother'!
He didn't want him to shout; he didn't want to shout at all.
He then added, "Then I'll call it out when President Shang brings the change-of-address fee!"
Gu Ye was originally supposed to sit at the main table like Shang Yan and Xie Nanzhou.
After this little incident, Gu didn't want to face Shang Yan's arrogant face, so he sat down at the table next to him.
Xie Nanzhou, always eager for a good show, leaned closer to Shang Yan and said, "You've angered your brother-in-law."
Shang Yan glanced at Gu Ye, who was chatting with someone at the next table, and let out a disdainful sneer.
Seeing his attitude, Xie Nanzhou said, "Even if you don't like Yu Sheng, you don't have to target him as well, do you?"
Shang Yan narrowed his eyes, revealing an inscrutable look: "If I really target him, then he'll have no way out!"
Xie Nanzhou couldn't understand what Shang Yan was saying. Shang Jia was in the business of cars and mobile phones, and Gu Jia was in the business of sports brands. Could it be that Shang Yan wanted to enter the retail industry and start a sports brand business?
Xie Nanzhou was about to ask a question when someone came over to offer a toast, interrupting him.
Shang Yan and Xie Nanzhou are both close to thirty years old. They have long since shed their childishness and speak with the wisdom and strategy of businessmen. They also have a strong presence. Shang Yan, in particular, is someone who intimidates even seasoned veterans of the business world.
Compared to them, Shang Yan is not only younger, but also has a gentle and approachable demeanor, which makes him easy to get along with in the eyes of those who want to build connections.
Therefore, many people who came to curry favor with him tonight skipped Shang Yan and Xie Nanzhou and went straight to Gu Ye.
Gu Ye's persona is that of a gentle person, so he accepts all drinks without hesitation, especially since he brought someone to "block drinks" with him!
Even so, he still drank quite a lot.
After the waiter refilled his empty glass, he considerately asked, "Mr. Gu, I see you've had a bit too much to drink. Would you like to rest in the lounge for a while?"
"Thank you, no..."
He was very polite even to the waiters.
But when he saw the waiter's face, he was stunned.
Because she is Jiang Jiang.
He was overjoyed.
He knew this was a surprise she had prepared for him.
He suppressed the excitement in his eyes, glanced at Mo Xin who was being forced to drink, and pretended to be a little tipsy by pressing his temples, saying, "It is indeed a bit too much. Take me to the lounge!"
"plz follow me!"
The lounge was right next to the banquet hall. As soon as Gu Ye entered, he pressed Jiang Jiang against the door, looked her up and down in her waitress uniform, and pinched her chin, saying, "You really know how to surprise me every day?"
Jiang Jiang raised her hand and wrapped it around her neck, asking coquettishly, "So, do you like it?"
"I love it, I love it to death!"
After Gu finished speaking, he kissed Jiang Jiang's lips.
Just as the two were enacting their forbidden scene, Yu Sheng and Sheng Ning arrived.
Even if three of the Four Young Masters of Beijing didn't come, there would still be plenty of people coming to wish them a happy birthday. But with them here, there would be even more people coming to offer their congratulations.
The birthday banquet was held at Guo Ji Li, the largest restaurant in Beijing, with dozens of tables set up in the banquet hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.
As soon as Yu Sheng entered, she was overwhelmed by the sea of people and couldn't find Gu Ye anywhere!
Sheng Ning, who frequently attends such occasions, said, "Gu Ye's status is definitely that of someone at the head table."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Yu Sheng forward.
As they approached the main table, Sheng Ning pointed at Old Master Guo and said, "See that old man? That's Old Master Guo."
Yu Sheng saw the old man, as well as Shang Yan and Xie Nanzhou.
She wasn't surprised; she knew that the two of them had a good relationship with Guo Xuchuan.
Before Shang Yan moved out, Xie Nanzhou and Guo Xuchuan would occasionally come to the Shang family to visit her.
Although Sheng Ning's heart flew to Xie Nanzhou the moment she saw him, she still went to pay her respects to Old Master Guo first, as she was representing the Sheng family and could not neglect proper etiquette.
Yu Sheng doesn't need to go to wish Old Master Guo a happy birthday. Even if she went, Old Master Guo wouldn't know who she is. Besides, Shang Yan is sitting there, so there's even less reason for her to go.
When Sheng Ning went to wish Grandpa Guo a happy birthday, Yu Sheng came to Shang Yan and Xie Nanzhou and obediently greeted them, "Brother, Brother Nanzhou..."
Shang Yan responded indifferently as usual, showing no concern whatsoever about why Yu Sheng was there. Xie Nanzhou, however, asked, "Why are you here?"
On her way here, Yu Sheng had already prepared an excuse and replied without hesitation, "Sheng Ning asked me to come and keep her company!"
A good best friend is someone you 'use' in crucial moments!
Xie Nanzhou glanced at Sheng Ning out of the corner of his eye, said "Oh," and then excused himself to go to the restroom and left.
He clearly used the excuse of needing to urinate to avoid Sheng Ning!
The moment he left, the air seemed to freeze!
Yu Sheng stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a moment.
They didn't dare to move an inch, let alone look for Gu Ye!
The key point is that Gu Ye wasn't at the main table either!
Yu Sheng didn't know what Grandpa Guo was talking to Sheng Ning, but it seemed like their conversation wasn't going to end anytime soon. Feeling silly standing there, she took the opportunity to sit down in Xie Nanzhou's seat.
After Yu Sheng sat down, she pretended to be nonchalant and searched for Gu Ye. Just as she was getting a little anxious because she couldn't find him, she heard three words in her ear: "Don't look anymore, he's in the lounge!"
Yu Sheng looked at Shang Yan with a puzzled expression and said, "I was talking about... Gu Ye!"
Yu Sheng paused for a moment, said "Thank you, brother," and got up to leave the banquet hall.
She didn't know where the lounge was, so she asked a waiter and went there immediately.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a man and woman moaning and groaning inside, clearly engaged in sexual activity.
Yu Sheng's face was ashen.
She stood there for a few seconds, then, suppressing her fear, knocked on the door...
