Chapter 116 Dinner
The venue for this dinner was chosen to be a nearly century-old Western-style building. After seeing it, Zhou Cheng commented that it was not as good as the club just now. Su Qingyan was amused by Zhou Cheng's words and laughed.
When the door of the extended version of the Rolls-Royce they were riding in was opened, Zhou Cheng got out first. Countless flashes were aimed at him and started taking pictures. Zhou Cheng squinted his eyes in discomfort and stood beside the car with his back to the camera.
Su Qingyan's eyes were full of Zhou Cheng. She stared at him with a smile on her face, then she took a step forward and got out of the car.
Zhou Cheng placed his palm lightly over Su Qingyan's head and only put it down after he got out of the car safely.
When the media saw Su Qingyan get out of the car, all the cameras focused on him.
Su Qingyan's outfit today really outshines all the male stars. His noble temperament is not something that just anyone can imitate.
Although Su Qingyan usually does not shy away from his relationship with Zhou Cheng, he is still much more low-key in front of the camera.
Zhou Cheng followed Su Qingyan into the venue, looking at his unfamiliar golden hair the whole time.
Su Qingyan felt that Zhou Cheng's burning gaze was about to penetrate her, so she turned around and looked at him.
A gust of wind messed up Su Qingyan's meticulously crafted hair, and the golden brown ends of her hair fell to the corners of her eyes, forming a charming arc at the end of her eyes like eyeliner.
Zhou Cheng felt as if time had been paused. The surroundings were so quiet that he could only hear the beating of his own heartbeat, which was like a drum. The rhythm of his heartbeat seemed to resonate with Su Qingyan's. He stared at Su Qingyan intently, as if he was bewitched.
"Are you stunned?" Su Qingyan stopped and waited for Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng came to his senses after hearing his voice, and followed him quickly with some embarrassment.
The process of the dinner was similar. This time, Su Qingyan was not late for the first time and took a seat before the show started.
Zhou Cheng was arranged next to him. Looking at the gold-stamped card with his name on it, he felt very out of place. After all, the meetings he had attended before all had serious nameplates with black letters on a white background.
"Are you hungry? We should have eaten something before we came here. I'm really fed up with those crappy Michelin chefs."
The background music was quite loud, and Su Qingyan complained in Zhou Cheng's ear.
"Let's go eat something else after this." Zhou Cheng patted the back of Su Qingyan's hand soothingly under the table.
"Shall we go to the night market? There's a new night market in the south district, it seems pretty good."
"Okay, let's go to the night market."
Just as they were whispering about going to the night market for a feast, a voice that had not been heard for a long time rang out.
"Boss Su's new look is truly unforgettable."
Jiang Xingyao sat down directly opposite Su Qingyan.
The close relationship between the Su and Jiang families was well-known in Mincheng, and the organizers had arranged them together at the main table for this very reason. However, what everyone didn't know was that Su Qingyan and Jiang Xingyao were currently in a very awkward situation, with both of them more or less intentionally avoiding each other.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Jiang." Su Qingyan greeted Jiang Xingyao indifferently.
"Mr. Su is very busy, I thought you wouldn't come."
Su Qingyan felt a little unhappy when she heard what he said, but she didn't show it. She just nodded with a hypocritical and polite smile.
"He is the Mr. Jiang that Gu Yi mentioned, right?" Zhou Cheng turned his head and asked Su Qingyan.
"Yes, he is Jiang Yuexing's younger brother." Su Qingyan said a few simple words and changed the subject.
Something is wrong.
Zhou Cheng knew very well that Su Qingyan was a straightforward person, so he would not suffer such a loss. However, when facing the second young master of the Jiang family, he even omitted his private complaints, as if he was very reluctant to talk about him.
"Zhou Cheng, you should also choose a ring carefully later." Su Qingyan's fingers were empty, without a single ring.
"Then what's the ring tonight?" Zhou Cheng picked up the menu on the table and studied the fancy names of the dishes.
"Is there so much to say about wearing a ring? Can it be considered as a testimony of our love?" Su Qingyan rolled her eyes slightly.
"Mr. Su, please pay attention to your facial expression. There are so many people here." Zhou Cheng looked at his expression and said with a helpless chuckle.
"What? Am I afraid of them?" Su Qingyan took the cocktail from the waiter's tray and took a sip.
"If you drink on an empty stomach, be careful of stomachache later." Zhou Cheng frowned.
But before he could continue to stop her, Su Qingyan's social time began.
Most of the people invited were celebrities. It was not easy to see the Jiang and Su families at the same banquet. No one would easily let this opportunity go. After Jiang Xingyao took his seat, people came to their table one after another to toast and socialize.
Su Qingyan talked with all kinds of people with ease, but Zhou Cheng noticed that his eyes had fallen twice on the small desserts that had just been placed in front of each person.
This wave of socializing came to an end when the fashion show began. Su Qingyan picked up the fork and went straight to the small cake he had been coveting for a long time.
"This is a little sweet, you can have it with that tea."
Zhou Cheng had already tested the waters for Su Qingyan. The sweetness of this dessert was already lethal to him, but for Su Qingyan, who loved sweets very much, it should only be classified as "relatively sweet".
"This is very considerate of the Chinese taste. When I was studying in the UK, their desserts were so filling that even a small bite would make you choke and not want to eat anything else for the whole day." After Su Qingyan said this, he obediently drank a sip of the tea recommended by Zhou Cheng. Sure enough, the taste after neutralization was very memorable.
Celebrities of all sizes wearing expensive jewelry began to walk out on the stage, and the price of the jewelry they wore was basically equal to their status.
Although the Su family's business does not involve the entertainment sector, everyone is well aware of the inside story of the entertainment industry. Celebrities are just pawns in the game of capital.
"These jewels are too tacky..." Su Qingyan made a sharp conclusion after looking at them for a while.
Zhou Cheng also agreed very much. These rings are not suitable for daily wear at all. If he wore such rings to work, he would definitely be laughed at by his colleagues as a fool who bought counterfeit goods.
"The plain circle looks good." Zhou Cheng also expressed his attitude.
"I'll study it further." Su Qingyan was determined to put a proof of sovereignty on Zhou Cheng's finger in the near future.
The stars walked down from the stage and continued to display their jewelry between the tables.
Yuan Wei arrived at the table early and sat obediently next to Jiang Xingyao.
After seeing him, Zhou Cheng suddenly remembered his mission, but when the time came, he found that he couldn't open his mouth at all, so he looked at Su Qingyan for help.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyan pretended not to know. He really wanted to see how Zhou Cheng, who had social anxiety, would ask for a signature.
"The one opposite is the celebrity, right?" Zhou Cheng tried to hint to Su Qingyan.
"I don't know either. I'm not a fan." Su Qingyan replied seriously, but he had already prepared a stool and taken out some melon seeds in his heart, waiting to watch the show.
