The cocktail party was held in the suburbs of Beijing, at a wealthy man’s private winery. The owner of the winery’s greatest hobby in life was to hold various cocktail parties.

His wine is expensive and rare, and is very popular in the circle.

In order to prevent the drinking party from attracting unmannered drunkards, he set a very high threshold.

Those who are qualified to attend are basically well-known corporate CEOs in Beijing, and all of them are high-class and prominent, so although it is nominally a cocktail party, it is actually more like a business negotiation meeting.

Gu Xuesong went there this time to discuss business.

The car drove steadily into the winery, and Yaoyao was led by his father to the venue. The whole place was spacious and prosperous.

The owner of the winery took into consideration the wives of the CEOs, and arranged the reception with not only champagne but also exquisite and varied snacks.

When Yaoyao smelled the fragrance, her eyes suddenly lit up and she swallowed secretly.

But she didn't move. She came with her father this time, and it would embarrass him if she acted too wild.

Seeing his daughter's awkwardness, Gu Xuesong couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder with a smile and said, "If you want to eat, take it. Don't be embarrassed."

These things are prepared for people to eat.

Yaoyao shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry!"

You know, she came out today to protect her father closely. She couldn't protect him if she went to eat.

She can ask the chef to make these snacks for her when she gets home. Protecting her father is the most important task.

At critical moments, she can still make clear decisions.

How could Gu Xuesong not understand his daughter's little thoughts? He felt warm in his heart and felt a little sorry for his daughter's understanding.

He turned to look at the assistant and said, "Go get some food for the young lady. I want every single thing."

Gu Xuesong knew his daughter's appetite well, so she could eat as much snacks as she wanted.

The assistant nodded and walked towards the dining area.

When Yaoyao saw her father’s arrangements, she immediately smiled sweetly and was obediently led to the reception area.

The reception area is mostly occupied by men, who come here to talk business, while the female guests who accompany them are all in the leisure area.

So, when Gu Xuesong brought a little girl in, the entire reception area was stunned.

Immediately, many eyes turned over.

As the Gu family is the richest family in Beijing, everyone present naturally knows them. They also have an impression of the person whose hand he is holding. It seems that she is the Gu family's newly adopted daughter.

They had always heard that Gu Xuesong loved this newly adopted daughter very much.

But no one had a clear idea of ​​the extent of the problem. Now they suddenly knew.

It really hurts to hold it in your hands!

After all, in this kind of occasion, everyone is here to discuss business, why do you bring a child here?

Isn't this a waste of time?

Of course, given the Gu family's status, they are fully qualified to do so, but it is inevitable that everyone will feel uncomfortable.

It can be said that this was a big taboo in cooperation. The boss who cooperated with Gu Xuesong also had a bad look on his face.

When the other party came over to talk to him, Liming's attitude became obviously much colder, and his tone even sounded a little sarcastic.

"Boss Gu really loves his daughter. He keeps her close by his side even in business occasions like this."

"I am a straightforward person, and I will say the ugly words first. I came here today to discuss business with you. I hope you have the same idea as me on this."

These words actually expressed his serious dissatisfaction.

Because it is a collaboration, and he has connections behind him, he is still selective. If the Gu family doesn't care too much, then there is no need for him to flatter them.

The people around couldn't help but take a breath at this person's directness, and suddenly became curious about how Gu Xuesong would respond.

In their opinion, since the latter has been able to build the company to this point, he should not be a person with confused character.

Did he really like his adopted daughter so much? He even didn't want to do business with her anymore? This was not the behavior of a successful businessman.

"Mr. Li, don't worry. My coming here in person is enough to express my attitude."

"As for why I brought my daughter here, it's hard to explain."

Gu Xuesong could naturally hear the implication in the other party's words, but his expression remained unchanged and he did not give any specific explanation.

It's not that he couldn't explain the reason, but the truth was obviously impossible for outsiders to accept. After all, no one could believe that he brought his daughter here because the child needed to protect herself.

Sometimes, it is better not to have an explanation if it is denied by everyone.

"Then let's talk about the project!"

When Liming heard this answer, his face was still unhappy, but he didn't continue to dwell on it.

In his heart, he is still quite inclined to cooperate with the Gu family. In addition to the good reputation of the Gu family, the price that the Gu family can offer is also better than that of other families.

Businessmen are profit-oriented, and everyone wants to make more money through legal channels.

Gu Xuesong nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being tugged by a pair of small hands.

This interrupted what he was about to say, and when he lowered his head, he met his daughter's beautiful big eyes.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xuesong couldn't help but ask

He did not blame the girl for interrupting him at this time, because he knew that his daughter knew her limits. Since she interrupted him, she must have had a reason.

As for the tacit understanding between father and daughter, how could Liming know? He only knew that the other party had already raised a child before they even started discussing business. Is this the attitude you are talking about?

His face fell instantly, and he questioned in a cold voice without caring about the large crowds of people here.

"Boss Gu, is this what you said to reassure me?"

"I can see that you have no intention of cooperating with Guanghui today. In this case, there is nothing more to discuss. Please do as you please!"

It’s not that he has a bad temper, but the other party’s behavior is very disrespectful.

Even if such a cooperation is really negotiated, there will probably be many uncomfortable places. After Li Ming finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. At this time, he heard a clear, baby voice coming from behind him, with a puzzled tone.

"Dad, why is this uncle angry?"

"Did he know his child was dying?"

Yaoyao tilted her little head with a look of confusion. She didn't understand why this uncle left when she just said one sentence to her father.

Could it be that he figured it out too? But this shouldn't be the case, he is not a member of the Xuanmen sect!

That's right, the reason she interrupted her father was because she noticed something unusual on her uncle's face.

That was clearly the look of a woman who had lost her child. Yaoyao was sure that she was not mistaken. She would not joke about matters involving human life.

After these words were spoken, Gu Xuesong was a little overwhelmed. He did not expect that his daughter would ask for such a big thing.

And in the moment he was stunned, he saw Liming turning around with an angry face.

He scolded in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, little kid!"

In just a short while, he didn't have time to walk far, so naturally he heard what the little baby from the Gu family said.

Then he became angry. After all, no one would be in a good mood if they heard someone cursing their family.

He looked at Gu Xuesong with an unfriendly look, as if asking if this was the etiquette of the Gu family?
