Chapter 152 seems to be about the underworld.
Si Jingxu's foot injury has completely healed.
Even without words, school is about to start.
He was quite happy.
Lately, whenever I meet my girlfriend, there's always a third wheel.
Either both brothers are together, or one of them is busy. It's not easy for both brothers to be busy, and then Long Yu and He Run suddenly appear out of nowhere.
They're clearly a couple, but he acts like a child trafficker trying to abduct a girl.
Once school starts, I'll be able to leave these people behind.
Having lunch with my girlfriend and picking her up from school in the evening will give me some time alone with her.
"Brother Jingxu, what are you laughing at?" Yan Buyu looked at Si Jingxu's smile on the screen and felt that he was plotting something.
"It's nothing," Si Jingxu leaned closer to the screen. "Are you going to that banquet tomorrow?"
“Yes,” Yan Buyu nodded, “It’s my brother’s first time organizing a company banquet, so I definitely have to go and see.”
Moreover, she's been shuttling between home and the hospital lately and wants to relax a bit.
"What are you going to do tomorrow, Brother Jingxu?"
"Me?" Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow. "Alone in an empty room, holding my phone and waiting for my girlfriend to call me."
"So, there's nothing else going on at the banquet? Did your girlfriend call you?" Yan Buyu mimicked his gesture, raising an eyebrow.
Si Jingxu's heart trembled slightly; this child was just too alluring.
He cleared his throat. "Can we video call?"
"I'll think about it."
The Shen Group also holds internal banquets regularly to foster relationships between superiors and subordinates and relieve stress.
This time, the head of the port city branch happened to come to report on his work.
Shen Yanzhou casually handed the task over to Shen Yunqi.
Without saying a word, she took her older brother's arm and asked, "What kind of business does the Hong Kong branch mainly handle?"
“It covers finance, technology, and healthcare,” Shen Yanzhou explained earnestly. “This port city is a very important place.”
"I often hear you tell my brother about someone surnamed Chen, who is the person in charge of Hong Kong City?"
"Yes, Chen Jiahui is a native of Hong Kong. He is capable and resourceful, and he has a very good relationship with the Hong Kong government departments."
The brother and sister talked as they arrived at the venue.
Shen Yunqi stood at the door smoking and waiting for the two of them. When he saw his sister coming over, he quickly put out his cigarette.
"Brother, don't speak," he called out. "It's starting, come in and play."
Without saying a word, Yan let go of Shen Yanzhou's arm and ran over to Shen Yunqi, looking him up and down. "Brother, you're so handsome! You look so good in this outfit! It makes your legs look so long and your figure so perfect!"
Shen Yunqi wore a modified runway suit; the dark gray color was sophisticated yet youthful, and the gold pocket watch chain was particularly eye-catching.
Shen Yunqi raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "You're always good at making me happy."
Shen Yanzhou followed behind, "Is everything alright?"
“Chen Jiahui brought a friend along, who said he was the nephew of the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong. He doesn’t look like a good person to me.” Shen Yunqi could tell at a glance that the man frequented nightclubs.
Shen Yanzhou was dissatisfied, but it was best not to offend the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong for the time being.
Wu Xiaoyang leaned back on the sofa, a cigarette dangling from his lips, utterly uninterested. "Jiahui, there aren't a single pretty girl here. It's boring. The girls at the nightclub last night were pretty good, hot and sexy."
Chen Jiahui was annoyed by him, but couldn't afford to offend him, so he just gave him a perfunctory reply, saying, "I'll tell the boss I'm leaving early, and we'll continue today."
“Wait a minute,” Wu Xiaoyang’s eyes lit up, and he leaned forward as if he had spotted prey, rubbing his chin. “This girl is hot.”
Chen Jiahui looked over and saw Yan Buyu holding Shen Yanzhou's arm.
My heart sank.
“Brother Xiaoyang, this won’t do,” he said with a forced smile. “This is the heiress of the group, my boss’s sister.”
Wu Xiaoyang narrowed his eyes. "Isn't she just an adopted daughter?"
“Brother Xiaoyang, this really won’t work. Everyone in the group knows that the chairman cherishes her and the two bosses protect her very much.”
Wu Xiaoyang glanced at Chen Jiahui, his heart filled with contempt.
He dared to mess with the daughter of a Hong Kong financial tycoon, so why would he be afraid of an adopted daughter like this? He waved his hand and leaned back on the sofa. "Jiahui, don't be nervous, I don't lack women."
Chen Jiahui was unsure of himself, so he drank two glasses of wine with his boss, thinking he might give him a heads-up.
Shen Yanzhou took Yan Buyu to meet several members of the group's leadership team and gave them a general overview of the business they were responsible for.
"Brother, why are you telling me all this?" Yan Buyu took a sip of juice. "Don't try to trick me into joining the company."
Shen Yunqi chuckled from the side, "After you graduate, you can be my assistant, and we can expand our business in France."
"Then you should learn French first, brother."
"Mr. Chen, may I speak to you in private?" Chen Jiahui came over to greet Wu Xiaoyang while he was in the restroom.
Shen Yanzhou went to the side with him and continued arguing with his brother without saying a word.
A waiter walked by, and his tray slipped from his hand, spilling liquid from several glasses onto Shen Yunqi before falling to the ground.
"Manager Shen, I'm so sorry, so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
The girl blushed deeply, apologized awkwardly, and then squatted down to pick up the shards of glass.
"Watch your hands," Yan Buyu called out. "Let the cleaning staff come."
The waitress apologized again.
Shen Yunqi's clothes were soaked and uncomfortable. "I'm going to change my clothes. You wait here for your older brother."
Since they were all company employees, no one dared to make things difficult for her sister.
Yan Buyu found a quiet corner, wanting to send a video to her boyfriend.
I opened my bag, but my phone was gone.
As she was looking for her phone, the waitress who had wet Shen Yunqi's clothes came over with a suit.
Her words were pleading, "Miss Yan, my boss asked me to deliver clothes to Manager Shen, but I don't dare to."
Judging from her appearance, she was probably not very old; she was either working part-time or had just started.
Sending her clothes to her male boss and having it photographed would damage everyone's reputation.
My phone is missing, I'm worried; my brother has no clothes to wear, I'm even more worried.
"I'll go. Where's my brother?"
Without any accusations or complaints, the waiter paused for a few seconds before saying, "Please come with me."
Without saying a word, Yan followed the girl to a semi-open rest area.
“That can’t be right, how can you change clothes here? You must have made a mistake, it must be in some private room,” Yan Buyu looked at the girl, “Take your phone, I’ll make a call and I’ll know.”
The waiter was nervous and embarrassed. "We're not allowed to bring cell phones during the banquet, they're afraid we'll take pictures. The leader was just pointing to this spot. Could you wait here for me while I go ask?"
Yan Buyu didn't go into the rest area; he stood outside directly.
It's a bit far from the banquet hall, but you can see her. If my brother comes back, he'll spot her with just a glance.
"Madam, would you like a drink?" The waiter came over with a tray containing several bottles of juice.
Yan Buyu took a glass of orange juice, and the waiter turned and left.
She raised her glass of juice, but before it even touched her lips, a hand reached out and snatched it away.
It was a man's hand, with the tattoo on the back of his hand faintly extending into his sleeve.
Yan Buyu was taken aback and turned to look.
He was 1.9 meters tall, had a buzz cut, broad shoulders and a thick back, and wore a black suit, but you could still feel the solid muscles under the clothes.
He was very handsome, unlike the people around me, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a wild look in his eyes.
The exposed back of the neck also has tattoos.
Without saying a word, he subconsciously took two steps back; this person looked like a gangster.
Song Jingyi didn't ignore her fear. He picked up the glass of juice and slowly poured the liquid onto the ground.
"It's best not to let a child drink random things when he's alone."
