She can't smile anymore, okay? Please have mercy, thank you!
"Then, Miss Su, which industry are you interested in lately?" Kang Nan seemed oblivious to Su Ziqing's impatience.
Business socializing requires patience to communicate, no matter how impatient you are. Everyone has their struggles to make money, so please be understanding.
Su Ziqing looked at Kang Nan. This man was clean-cut and handsome, and he was also a CEO. He was the kind of man who would be popular with girls.
What triggered him to come here and flirt with her?
Yes, if she doesn't figure out his intentions, then all the time she's spent in the business world will have been wasted.
Since she became the head of the Su Group, she has become a hot commodity due to her youth, wealth, and beauty.
These words weren't spoken by her; they were said by Luo Ziqi.
Men also want to avoid thirty years of hard work, not to mention that if they married her, swallowed up the Su family business, and then changed their names and took over the family business, it wouldn't be impossible...
That's how novels are written, that's how movies and TV shows are portrayed, and reality is even more absurd.
Is he trying to take a shortcut?
"I'm not interested in men." Su Ziqing smiled, her eyes slightly narrowed. He should understand what she meant by that, right?
Conan: "..."
Just then, a familiar figure, one that Su Ziqing hadn't expected, entered the banquet hall.
All composure and calmness were brought to a standstill when that familiar figure was spotted.
She seemed to have returned to her former self.
Gong Chengjue!
He actually attended the banquet too. Su Ziqing suddenly felt that this Miss An was even more amazing than she had imagined; she was practically an idol.
She knew very well that Gong Chengjue rarely attended banquets.
More than a month has passed, and he is still the same person, exuding nobility in every gesture.
He exuded an aura of refinement from a prestigious family, and upon seeing him, several people in the room immediately went to him to offer their flattery.
Therefore, no matter how much people outside were badmouthing the Gong family, they still fawned over the Gong family members with their bodies.
For him, heartbreak was...
Oh no, he dumped her; the word "heartbreak" doesn't even apply to him.
Su Ziqing suddenly felt that she had been a bit silly for the past month. While she was feeling sentimental and numbing herself with work, what was Gong Chengjue doing?
He's flirting!
Look, there's already a noble socialite holding his arm.
Given his rarity of attending banquets, it is quite unusual for him to bring a female companion.
Just like when she stood beside him back then...
Her heart suddenly clenched, reminding her that even if she lost, she wouldn't lose face.
She unconsciously took a sip of the red wine in her hand, pulled her gaze back, and then looked at Mr. Kang Nan with a slight smile, "Mr. Kang, would you be interested in talking about the entertainment industry?"
When Kang Nan saw that Su Ziqing had suddenly become interested, he immediately became very enthusiastic, saying, "I knew it! How many girls aren't interested in the entertainment industry?"
So he began to speak fluently.
Even though there were nearly a hundred people at the banquet, Gong Chengjue still saw that familiar figure he had been longing for as soon as he entered.
She cut her hair short and seems to have lost a little weight?
A simple red long dress made her look beautiful and elegant.
But what about the despair of heartbreak?
No, she was as bright and radiant as the sun, chatting happily with other men and even showing a radiant smile.
Gong Chengjue's face suddenly darkened.
She... just gave up so easily?
He didn't know whether he should be angry that she gave up on the relationship so easily, or angry about something else. In any case, watching her talk to other men made him feel uncomfortable.
For the past month, Luo Jinhan has not 'unintentionally' mentioned in front of him how popular she is with men!
Suitors are practically swarming the Su Group.
Pshaw, what a bunch of delusional men!
Is she the kind of girl they can get close to?
He suddenly felt a slight tightening in his arm; the presence of his female companion reminded him of the choice he had made.
Zhou Ruoling and Gong Chengjue stood together, a perfect match in terms of looks and talent. She was dignified and poised, and her demeanor was graceful and appropriate. She felt completely at ease at the banquet, as if she were taking a stroll in her own little garden.
Those present knew the Zhou family and addressed her as Miss Zhou.
More and more guests gathered around them, and while polite greetings were certainly appropriate, Gong Chengjue, standing beside them, became somewhat out of line.
Zhou Ruoling whispered softly in Gong Chengjue's ear, "Want to go up and talk?"
To outsiders, this scene appears to be a playful moment between lovers.
Gong Chengjue calmly withdrew his gaze and glanced at her.
Zhou Ruoling's smile was just right; she's very generous.
"Need not."
"Since you don't need to, then... can you properly play your role? My... current boyfriend," Zhou Ruoling whispered in his ear.
People have already complimented them, saying how well-matched they are, using almost every beautiful word that can describe a romantic couple.
After all, it's quite difficult to have each person say one sentence without repeating themselves.
Zhou Ruoling looked at Gong Chengjue shyly, her eyes almost overflowing with tenderness.
Gong Chengjue: "..."
Su Ziqing felt her heart was breaking.
Reason told her that she had to keep pretending, but damn it, she felt her heart pounding so hard she couldn't keep up the act any longer.
Out of the corner of his eye, he involuntarily glanced in the direction of Gong Chengjue.
He was surrounded by admirers, and the girl beside him held his hand shyly and happily...
"Sorry." Su Ziqing felt a little nauseous.
Lost in thought, she had already taken several sips of red wine.
Kang Nan looked at her. "What's wrong?"
Su Ziqing shoved the wine glass in her hand into his and said, "I'm going to the restroom." Then, covering her mouth, she hurried toward the restroom.
Gong Chengjue was distracted as he dealt with the merchants in front of him. When he glanced at Su Ziqing out of the corner of his eye, he found that Su Ziqing was no longer there.
He frowned slightly. Where is he?
Zhou Ruoling chuckled softly and whispered in his ear, "Gong Chengjue, focus, hmm?"
She risked her life to be his current girlfriend, okay?!
Gong Chengjue had lost the will to deal with the people present and was about to find an excuse to leave when Miss An finally came to greet him.
"Mr. Gong."
Zhou Ruoling looked at Miss An and said, "Happy birthday, Lele."
The two hugged each other.
"Thank you." Miss An released Zhou Ruoling, looked at Gong Chengjue, and said with a slight teasing tone, "Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Mr. Gong."
"Why thank him? He came with me." Zhou Ruoling said cutely. "You should thank me."
Miss An smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
Gong Chengjue: "..."
"Happy birthday, Miss An." A familiar voice came from behind. Gong Chengjue turned his head slightly. Lu Linghong?
The capital city isn't that big, so it's not unusual to run into someone here. But this is N city, and you still run into someone here?
