Director Shang parked the car and led Qingke and her mother towards a hotel.
Although this hotel is not small, it does not seem to be suitable for large business gatherings.
Qing Ke looked around, wondering in her heart, when a burst of warm greetings brought her back to her senses.
"Mr. Shang, Mrs. Shang, you are finally here. This is Qing Ke, right?"
A middle-aged man of about the same age as Shang Dong, well-dressed and well-spoken, was sitting at a table. Upon seeing Qing Ke and the others enter, he quickly greeted them with a smile and clasped Shang Dong's hands tightly.
"I'm so ashamed to have kept Mr. Wang waiting for so long. This is my daughter Shang Qingke. Qingke, why don't you call someone?"
Qing Ke kept a polite smile on her face. After hearing what Director Shang said, she respectfully called him "Uncle".
The man grinned from ear to ear. "Great! A tiger father will have a dog daughter. Miss Qingke is gentle and polite, and naturally beautiful. My Wang family is truly marrying up. Come on, please come in, let's sit down and talk."
The man led Qingke's family to the table.
Director Shang continued to chat and laugh politely with the man.
"Boss Wang, what are you talking about? You're not trying to embarrass me, my old self?"
The man was still talking to Shang Dong, but his voice was very low. Qing Ke couldn't hear clearly what they were whispering about, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to be having a very interesting conversation.
Sitting at the table was a middle-aged woman dressed in gold and silver. Seeing Qingke and the others approach, she politely stood up to greet them. Next to him sat a young man, his head lowered, making it difficult to see his features. Judging by his attire, he must be a young gentleman.
Seeing the man beside her motionless, the middle-aged woman deliberately reached out and tugged at his arm, as if to ask him to stand up and meet the enemy. But the man didn't buy her story. He shook off the middle-aged woman's hand in annoyance and sat there like a statue, motionless.
Led by the man, everyone sat down at the table.
"This is my family, and this is my son, Wang Zhengsheng." The man smiled as he introduced the two people at the table to Director Shang. Seeing that the young man didn't respond, his expression turned stern. "Zhengsheng, Zhengsheng, quickly call someone. This is your Uncle Shang, Aunt Bai Meng, and Miss Qingke."
At the man's shout, the man called Zhengsheng reluctantly raised his head and called out to someone in a weak and expressionless voice.
Only then did Qing Ke see his face clearly. He had a handsome face, which gave people a refreshing feeling.
He called out to Shang Dong and Bai Meng, and nodded politely to Qing Ke, but his face remained expressionless. Not only was there no smile, but Qing Ke could also see a look of disdain and disdain on his face.
Qing Ke responded awkwardly. She had attended countless parties, but this was the first time she had met this person. It was just that this person's attitude really made her feel uncomfortable.
"Waiter, serve the food."
At Mr. Wang's urging, the waiter brought up plate after plate of dishes.
Qing Ke's parents and Mr. Wang and his wife were still chatting and laughing. As for what they were talking about, Qing Ke didn't want to listen carefully. She held the water cup on the table and sipped the water in the cup.
Zheng Sheng didn't seem to be coming to such an occasion voluntarily. He kept his head down and said nothing, which coincided with Qing Ke's opinion.
Qing Ke looked at the dishes on the table and was completely confused.
Weren't we supposed to be attending a business gathering? Why are there only a few of us? How can this be considered a business gathering? It feels more like a family gathering.
"Mr. Shang! You really know how to raise a daughter. Look at how beautiful Qingke is, so charming, gentle and polite, like a girl from heaven."
The middle-aged woman stared at Qing Ke as if she were a monster, making her feel uncomfortable. In order not to embarrass herself, Qing Ke kept smiling, and she felt that her face was almost frozen with laughter.
She praised Qingke highly, wanting to use all the words to describe her beauty.
"Oh! Madam Wang, you're too kind. Our Coco is not as good as you say."
Bai Meng rushed to respond. Hearing Mrs. Wang praise Qing Ke like this, her heart was sweeter than eating honey. She responded to the other party with a double heart, and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Director Shang's face flashed with displeasure because Bai Meng interrupted him. Bai Meng seemed to realize this as well. She usually couldn't stop talking once she started, but now she just said this briefly and shut up.
"Yes, Madam Wang, Mr. Wang, you are really too polite. You keep praising my daughter Coco like this, but it will spoil her and make her get carried away. This child is too proud. She needs to be whipped more to make her restrain herself."
