After dinner, it was time for a cocktail party and everyone returned to the second-floor stands.
Lan Xi was the center of the banquet, and people came to toast her in waves. Everyone wanted to get close to her, and it would be best if she could develop new business.
Sitting on the sofa arranged by the stand manager, Lan Xi watched the people coming and going on the first floor.
Zhong Hua didn’t stay long because he was old, and left after dinner!
Cheng Chiyan sat aside, watching people coming over to toast from time to time. Lan Xi just sat there and listened to their compliments. Sometimes she didn't even smile, and sometimes she didn't even drink the wine.
Only then did she realize that with her position, she could already overcome the level gap caused by age and seniority.
"What are you thinking about?" Lan Xi looked at Cheng Chiyan who was sitting on the sofa next to him in deep thought, put down her wine glass and asked.
Cheng Chiyan looked up. After the projects that Zhu Lingling had taken him to do during this period of time, his skin had basically returned to his natural fair color and looked even more youthful.
Plus, she drank some wine, and there was a faint blush on her cheeks.
Looks... kind of delicious!
"I was naive before!" Cheng Chiyan said honestly.
He was naive about everything from Lan Xi's identity, her relationship with Li Yulan to her understanding of class.
Lan Xi laughed. She knew what he was talking about, but she didn't know how to respond.
"Lan Xi, let's talk!" Shi Tinghan stood behind Lan Xi and said with a wine glass in his hand.
Without looking back, Lan Xi pointed at the sofa opposite Cheng Chiyan and said, "Sit!"
Cheng Chiyan stood up. He knew what Shi Tinghan meant. He should leave.
"I still think there is room for cooperation between the Shi family and the Lan family!" Shi Tinghan sat down slowly and looked at Lan Xi.
Lan Xi nodded: "The Shi family and the Lan family do have a lot of cooperation! Isn't this something that the old man and his family decided on a long time ago?"
Shi Tinghan shook his head and took a sip of wine: "You know that's not what I'm talking about!"
"You... wait a minute. Now is not the time to talk about this. Wait a minute!" Lan Xi waved her hands, not wanting to hear him say this.
Then she stood up, walked to the edge of the stands, and suddenly said to the audience below: "Here!"
The voice was not loud, but it made the whole audience quiet down. Everyone looked around, wondering who Lan Xi was calling.
The person who was called walked up the stairs to the second floor with an expressionless face, covering half of his face.
Shi Tinghan frowned. The one I slept with last time!
Lan Xi leaned against the railing and looked at Qin Xiangnan and smiled: "Why are you here just now?"
"The sample drawings are out. I argued with Zhang Rong for quite a while, so it's a little late!"
Qin Xiangnan sat down on the sofa, reached out to pick up the wine glass that Lan Xi had just put down, and drank it in one gulp.
You can tell how intense the argument just now was by looking at her frown.
Shi Tinghan looked at Qin Xiangnan. Did she just mention Zhang Rong? The chief designer of Lan Xi's design company?
Lan Xi didn't care that Qin Xiangnan drank the wine in her glass. The glass of wine was new and she hadn't touched it yet!
"Okay, you take a rest, I'll go for a walk!" After saying this, Lan Xi left.
After taking two steps out, she turned around to look at the two people sitting on the sofa, and then turned and left after just one glance.
"You're doing great today! Great timing!"
Li Yulan appeared beside Lan Xi, holding a wine glass and looking at Cheng Chiyan who was being entangled not far away.
Lan Xi closed her eyes irritably.
"Every day is like grading homework. Today is good, tomorrow is bad..."
Taking a deep breath, Lan Xi licked the corner of her mouth: "Aren't you tired?"
"Lan Xi, whether you admit it or not, we are teammates now, aren't we?"
Li Yulan returned to her previous calm and composed self.
Lan Xi felt that this woman was simply insane. She sneered and said, "Teammate? Are you crazy?"
It was simply unreasonable. She left after saying this. She felt that saying any more words would be a waste of time.
"Mr. Cheng, what industry are you in?"
"Mr. Cheng, Miss Lan was previously exposed for keeping a gigolo. Are you her new gigolo?"
"Mr. Cheng, did you know in advance that you and Mr. Shi look almost identical?"
"Mr. Cheng, could you introduce Miss Lan to us?"
As soon as Cheng Chiyan left, he was surrounded by a group of people. Everyone was talking at once, and seeing that he was the only one there, they spoke more unscrupulously.
"How about... you ask me? Wouldn't that be more direct?"
Lan Xi's voice rang out outside the crowd, and everyone turned around to see her standing not far away holding a glass of new wine.
Everyone dispersed instantly, pretending nothing had happened.
Cheng Chiyan felt that his breathing was finally smooth, and he pursed his lips: "Thank you!"
Lan Xi knew that he was still uncomfortable with Shi Tinghan, but she was too lazy to explain it.
