Chapter 171 Hero Saves the Beauty
After changing their clothes, the two went to attend the banquet.
The brand event was divided into two parts: one part was the reporter interviews and photo shoots when the brand entered and exited.
The remaining part is the brand dinner.
To put it bluntly, the dinner was a way for celebrities to sell products to business owners, facilitating networking among them.
No one will actually collaborate at a brand dinner like this; it's just a place for frivolous entertainment.
The unexpected incident during today's check-in gave Guan Yi a bit of attention, but Zhou Ran attracted even more attention.
As the saying goes, the darker something is, the more it yearns for the light.
Those capitalists prefer clean-cut children.
They enjoy destroying and taking away the pure things.
In short, Zhou Ran is being targeted by many people.
The moment Zhou Ran and Guan Yi entered the banquet hall.
At least a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on Zhou Ran.
That naked, malicious gaze felt almost tangible.
It is disgusting.
Guan Yi stepped forward, blocking Zhou Ran's gaze.
Guan Yi gave Zhou Ran a perfectly timed smile.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Um."
According to the character's setup, Zhou Ran should have grabbed Guan Yi's sleeve and sought comfort.
But since the banquet had already begun, and Zhou Ran didn't intend to have it peacefully, she decided not to waste time on formalities.
Guan Yi put on a professional smile and picked up a wine glass.
I felt extremely disgusted; those were truly repulsive looks.
He wasn't used to it the first time he came, and he still isn't used to it now.
Compared to when he first came, he has now learned to hide his feelings and pretend not to care.
When he achieves success and fame, he will repay all the suffering he has endured.
Pay it back double.
Guan Yi walked forward with a polite smile, not forgetting to look down and talk to Zhou Ran.
"Xiao Ran, stay close to me. It's safer with me around."
"good."
Zhou Ran secretly rolled her eyes at Guan Yi behind his back.
It's dangerous to follow him.
This guy is up to no good; he clearly wants to sell him for a good price at the banquet.
Then there's the grand scene of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.
After he had experienced something terrible.
Clinging desperately to him like a straw, she would obey his every word from then on.
Such petty tricks, scheming against others.
Incompetent fool.
There was an artist who shielded others from seeing the eye roll.
Zhou Chao had been waiting for Zhou Ran, intending to leave after Zhou Ran arrived, and was standing slightly towards the door.
He saw through Zhou Ran's gaze perfectly.
The image of his blood-soaked father flashed through Zhou Chao's mind, and he shuddered.
He should leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
"How come Mr. Zhou is hiding here so peacefully? I've been looking for him everywhere."
Mr. Zhao, the organizer, approached them, holding a wine glass.
He raised his wine glass and clinked it against Zhou Chao's.
The Zhou family is very skilled in the daily chemical industry.
Their brand of cosmetics,
They have competitors, but they also have collaborations.
Regardless of the reason, this new product launch will inevitably involve dealing with the Zhou family.
Since you can't avoid it, take the initiative and you might be able to build some connections.
That's why they took the initiative to extend an invitation to the Zhou Dynasty.
They extended an invitation, but to their surprise, the Zhou dynasty came of its own accord.
I heard that the Zhou family is negotiating a cooperation with the Shao family and is busy with a big deal.
Zhou Chao, as the president, was extremely busy.
Why would I come to their banquet?
Their plan is for the Zhou family to send a vice president; the details and arrangements have already been made.
Who knew that Zhou Chao would suddenly come in person.
They were caught completely off guard.
Mr. Zhao had no choice but to cancel some other commitments and personally greet him.
I had something to do just now, so I left Zhou Chao alone for a while. I looked around for him before I finally found him.
Zhou Chao had just stared at that child so intently he almost wore a hole through him.
Mr. Zhao saw this and assumed that Zhou Chao was interested in Zhou Ran.
Invitation by invitation.
"That must be Guan Yi's friend. Interested in going to say hello together?"
Zhou Chao glanced at General Zhao, thinking, "He's really asking for trouble."
He's not going to go along delivering the food.
His awful younger brother was incredibly vengeful.
"No need, I just got a call and something comes up, so I'll be leaving early."
"No, you've come all this way, and I happen to have a collaboration I'd like to discuss with you."
General Manager Zhao grabbed Zhou Chao's arm.
Since they were planning to enter the cosmetics market, cooperating more with the Zhou family was a prudent approach.
"It's messy here, not a good place to talk. Let's go upstairs to the lounge and chat for a bit."
Zhou Ran knew she wouldn't be able to leave without discussing the matter today, so she nodded and followed General Manager Zhao.
Meanwhile, Guan Yi led Zhou Ran around the banquet hall, socializing with everyone.
Besides business partners, there are also many celebrities here, and mostly female companions.
Of course, not the kind of socialites; real socialites rarely attend these kinds of small parties.
Most of his female companions were various internet celebrities and socialites, or specifically socialites.
Each boss was surrounded by several people, who were all smiles and trying to make him happy.
As a celebrity and brand ambassador, Guan Yi is subject to performance targets.
He needs a boss to spend money on him.
He looked around, but none of the generous, wealthy women he knew came.
Looks like I'll have to work extra hard today.
I want to eat something.
Zhou Ran whispered to Guan Yi that she didn't want to stand next to Guan Yi as a decorative vase anymore.
Those people looked at him as if he were merchandise.
Zhou Ran suppressed her anger, almost to the point of internal injury.
"Okay, go over there, but don't stray too far from me."
"Um."
Zhou Ran headed straight for the dining table.
No one eats at this kind of banquet.
They feel that even drinking an extra sip of water will make them gain three pounds and affect their figure.
Didn't you see many people holding their wine glasses up for ages without taking a single sip?
Zhou Ran would never wrong herself.
After circling the dining table, I decided to eat meat.
The banquet food was uneaten, but the preparations were thorough and the food tasted delicious.
Zhou Ran called to the waiter to heat up his steak.
I randomly picked a small cake to fill my stomach.
He realized that someone was watching him.
Zhou Ran followed the gaze and met a man with a beer belly and a bald head.
The man saw him looking over and smiled as he raised his glass.
Zhou Ran looked away expressionlessly.
Little Karami isn't worth wasting his feelings on.
Zhou Ran's disregard clearly aroused the man's pride.
He walked through the crowd toward Zhou Ran.
The waiter brought over the heated steak.
Zhou Ran took the knife and fork and began cutting the steak.
"Rarely cooked steak best retains its freshness."
The cross-section shows only the upper and lower surfaces as grayish-brown.
The central part mostly retains its bright red flesh color.
It contains obvious blood and the internal temperature is about 55℃.
"The taste is perfect. Your steak is already medium-well, the meat is too tough."
A man's discerning critique of Zhou Ran's steak.
Zhou Ran, however, sensed a boastful tone in her voice.
He uses Zhou Ran's mistakes to demonstrate his class.
What the hell? He's not a wild animal, why would he eat raw meat?
Seeing that Zhou Ran ignored him, the man's face flashed with annoyance.
A clueless little toy dares to give him attitude.
Let's see if he'll cry and beg him later.
"I am the CEO of Aerospace Technology. My surname is Hu. You can call me CEO Hu or Brother Hu."
Zhou Ran didn't even bother to give him a glance.
What kind of shell company is this? They dare to show off in front of him.
Zhou Ran put a piece of beef into his mouth; the doneness and flavor were just to his liking.
There's always something to make this lousy banquet happy.
President Hu clearly had no intention of letting Zhou Ran off the hook.
He picked up a glass of red wine from the side and handed it over.
"Have a drink with me, and I'll talk to you about anything you want. Whether it's money or power, I can consider giving it to you."
As he spoke, he leaned closer to Zhou Ran's shoulder, and the distinctive fragrance of a young man wafted over.
It still smells of the beef from earlier.
Mr. Hu couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes filled with determination.
Zhou Ran turned his shoulder away in disgust, and anything dirty, ugly, or smelly would gravitate towards him.
He's not a garbage dump.
"I won't drink it."
"You should know that if you defy me, you won't be leaving this banquet hall."
Mr. Hu's true colors have been revealed. This brat is too disobedient; he needs a scare to make him realize he should leave.
Thinking this, Mr. Hu reached out his hand, intending to take the person away directly.
Zhou Ran realized his purpose.
Without changing his expression, he twirled the knife in his hand and gripped it in a reverse grip.
I'm planning to do something if this guy doesn't have any martial ethics.
Today, he'll show President Hu what it means to be someone not to be trifled with.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Guan Yi quickly walked over and stepped between President Hu and Zhou Ran.
"Isn't this Mr. Hu? I was just looking for you, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Guan Yi tried to smooth things over while cursing under his breath.
President Hu is notorious. He's no good, and he has a thing for pretty boys.
She also particularly enjoys playing fancy tricks in bed.
Many of Hu's bed partners ended up in the hospital because of his antics.
Everyone in the industry knows about Mr. Hu's peculiar habit.
But President Hu is very generous. If you serve him well, he will give you money and resources without hesitation.
Even knowing they might get hurt, some people are still willing to take the risk and volunteer to serve them.
Of course, Guan Yi is not included in this list.
Guan Yi started by getting close to Director Wang, who introduced her to several wealthy women.
Guan Yi has a sweet tongue and knows how to coax people.
The wealthy older sister provides money and resources, and also offers Guan Yi protection.
Mr. Hu tried to contact Guan Yi several times, but was turned away by the wealthy woman.
It proves the saying that what you can't have is always the most alluring.
Every time Mr. Hu saw Guan Yi, he would stare at her intently.
Guan Yi would avoid Mr. Hu whenever possible.
If it weren't for the trending topics related to the previous revelations, it wouldn't have been possible recently.
This caused several wealthy women to avoid Guan Yi.
Guan Yi won't find it troublesome today.
While Guan Yi was racking her brains trying to figure out how to save Zhou Ran and preserve her innocence,
Mr. Hu only glanced at Guan Yi before reaching out and pushing him away.
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to this little cutie, don't block my way."
Mr. Hu used the words "little cutie" in a particularly ambiguous way.
Previously, Mr. Hu thought Guan Yi was quite attractive.
Now we have Zhou Ran, a paragon of virtue, as a precedent.
In comparison, Guan Yi's looks became utterly unappealing.
He still prefers Zhou Ran, who is like a little chili pepper.
"Mr. Hu, this is my friend. Mr. Zhao just asked about him, and I was just about to introduce him to him."
Guan Yi had a bad feeling.
They've already made arrangements to prevent that old lecher Hu from causing trouble.
We have no choice but to use Zhao's name as a shield.
The banquet was hosted by General Manager Zhao, and he did not allow anyone to break the rules at will.
Playing around is fine, but if it gets to Mr. Zhao's level, things will get much worse.
A society governed by the rule of law still values mutual consent! Author's note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support, muah! To learn more about this book, please leave a message on Liancheng Reading.
