Chapter 211 Introducing Foreign Investors to You
The engagement invitation left by Bai Zhen did not include an address. Since she had no plans to go, she did not pay much attention to it. Now it seems that she did not write it on purpose.
When Gu Qingshi saw that there were more and more customers in Gu's Kitchen, and more and more of them were acquaintances, he realized that the person who booked Gu's Kitchen was Duan Renjie.
"Why is it held at Gu's Kitchen? Isn't she said to be very rich and important? Isn't she a noble lady? Not to mention going to the city but not even the best restaurant in the county?"
"It was said that he really liked the food of our Gu's Kitchen. At the beginning, they only said they wanted to book it for an afternoon, and I didn't think much about it. After all, someone else had booked it before. I didn't expect it to be an engagement banquet." Bai Yang was helpless. "If Duan Renjie had booked it himself, I would definitely refuse, but the person who came before was not Duan Renjie at all."
Gu Qingshi finally finished his work at the factory and started to check out the situation at Gu's Kitchen. Hearing that someone had booked it for the entire afternoon, he decided to stay and take a look. It turned out that the person who received him was Duan Renjie.
She had no intention of attending Duan Renjie's engagement party. By the time she reacted, Bai Zhen and the others had already arrived with their people.
"Qingshi." Bai Zhen came over happily, wearing a skirt and holding her belly, "I was looking for you."
She looked Gu Qingshi up and down. She saw that Gu Qingshi was wearing a lapel shirt on the upper body and a long skirt underneath. Although she was not wearing any makeup, her skin was very white, her lips were red without any makeup, and her skin was delicate and flawless. She looked more radiant than those girls who specially put on makeup and dressed up. She nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Qingshi didn't like Bai Zhen's gaze and turned to leave, but was stopped by Duan Renjie. Duan Renjie brought a tall man with chestnut hair. The man's facial features showed that he was a foreigner, and his eyes lit up when he saw Gu Qingshi.
"Qingshi, this is Jem, a very capable investment businessman. I met him today and would like to introduce him to you."
Duan Renjie started introducing himself to the man named Jim, mixing in a few words.
"Hello, beautiful lady." Jem spoke in awkward Mandarin, bowed and extended his hand.
"Qingshi, you have to give her your hand. Foreigners have the etiquette of kissing hands." Seeing that Gu Qingshi didn't move, Bai Zhen hurriedly explained, and while speaking, she wanted to put Gu Qingshi's hand on her.
When Gu Qingshi heard about the hand-kissing ceremony, he gave way without thinking, "Forget about the hand-kissing ceremony. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
She had little interest in meeting people and was too lazy to stay.
"Wait." Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie spoke at the same time. Jem seemed confused as well. He kept waving his hands and saying one or two words mixed with other words to explain that he did not mean to offend. He also asked Duan Renjie to help explain that if Gu Qingshi didn't like him, he would just not do it again in the future.
Gu Qingshi didn't care about the explanation and wanted to leave anyway. Duan Renjie's face turned anxious and he and Bai Zhen chased after him.
"Gu Qingshi, what are you doing? You have to seize the opportunity. Do you know where he came from and how much assets he has? If it weren't for me, you would never have met such a good man in your life. I think you are also a sister, and I give you this opportunity. This is your blessing. You have to cherish it, understand?"
"Yes, Qingshi, I know there are many rich people around you and they all drive cars, but you can never compare to this foreigner." Bai Zhen also said earnestly.
To this day, Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie still don’t know Lu Yuan’s specific identity. It’s not that they haven’t asked about it, but because of their low status, they can’t get in touch with people who know Lu Yuan’s specific identity, so they haven’t found it out until now, and they think Lu Yuan is just an ordinary man with some money.
Even if they have some money, it is no match for this foreigner. What's more, this foreigner is someone they know, and their interests will be connected in the future. He is close to them, so naturally they tend to win over Jem.
"Gu Qingshi, Mom is right, you have to seize the opportunity. Do you know how many girls in the county are lining up to find Jem? Don't say that the county is just like those in the big cities. Jem can find anyone he wants. If you seize the opportunity, it will be yours. You can follow him to enjoy the good life abroad in the future."
Gu Qingshi's expression didn't change at all. "I'm not interested. You can keep her for yourselves. Don't you still have Duan Lingling? She's your real sister. Let her go abroad with you to enjoy the good life."
Although it was the first time they met and he didn't know the specific background of this so-called Jem, but since he was related to Duan Renjie and the others, Gu Qingshi stayed away from him 100%.
Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie choked, "Lingling is pregnant." If Duan Lingling could do it, then of course Duan Lingling would be better, but she is pregnant and her face has not healed yet. Jim doesn't think highly of Duan Lingling, otherwise Duan Lingling would be willing and have tried hard.
People like Jim are interested in Gu Qingshi. He said he likes oriental culture and classical beauty. When he went to Gu's Kitchen for dinner, he saw the photo of Gu Qingshi and others taken when the restaurant opened. He pointed at Gu Qingshi and asked who he was. He called him Anjue and called him despicable.
Duan Renjie was surprised to hear Jem call him despicable at first, but later he realized that it meant angel baby.
Jem fell in love with Gu Qingshi right away through the photo and said he liked people like Gu Qingshi. Duan Renjie then became interested and said that this was his other sister and he could introduce her to him.
He thinks he is a man who understands men, and that it is better for men to be tied up by women.
Although they thought this was a good thing, they were afraid that Gu Qingshi would not cooperate, so they waited until Gu Qingshi came back to hold the engagement party, and deliberately held it in Gu's kitchen.
"Qingshi, I really didn't lie to you this time. They are really rich. With their support, your brother will be successful in the future, and you will also be able to enjoy a good life. Don't miss this good opportunity because of what happened in the past."
Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie tried to persuade them earnestly, but when Gu Qingshi looked at the two of them, he recalled the scene he had seen before. Seeing them keep calling "Mom" and acting out the deep mother-son love, he felt so disgusted that he couldn't bear it for even a second.
"I don't need such a good opportunity. Who knows if I'll be sold out if I really go abroad? Don't come looking for me in the future. You should also give up this idea."
Gu Qingshi didn't want to continue to disgust himself, fearing that he would vomit directly, so he turned around and walked away quickly, ignoring the voices of Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie behind him.
She left through the side door and did not go to the kitchen because she completely believed that Bai Yang could solve the problem.
Although I don't want to do business with Duan Renjie at all, the deposit has already been received, so I have to do the business. I can only come back tomorrow.
However, just as he came out of the side door, his way was blocked by Da Huang. Da Huang was sitting in front of the door, looking at Gu Qingshi with a cold face. He didn't say a word and didn't give way, but his eyes and expression seemed to be silently accusing something.
"Da Huang." Gu Qingshi's originally cold expression instantly collapsed, revealing a trace of helplessness, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to abandon you and run away."
Both Dahuang's expression and eyes showed that he didn't believe a word of it.
Gu Qingshi: "Really, Da Huang, I didn't lie to you."
