The next moment, a hand wrapped in medical gauze picked up the gold-stamped invitation from the trash can.
"I left it here, don't blame them." The man's voice was clear, pleasant, calm and gentle.
Chen Zui was stunned, "Third brother, are you going?"
The Yong family has been low-key for generations. Although the third brother of this generation has become more prominent, he does not attend such banquets. He only participates in major exchange meetings.
Suddenly, he thought of something and suddenly realized, "Little Ali will go, right?"
Yong Zhixu didn't comment, put the invitation into the drawer of his desk, took out his cell phone, and glanced at the chat that was pinned to the top.
This is Tang Xili’s WeChat.
In the chat box, there was nothing else except the system message "I have passed your friend verification request, we can start chatting now."
Her profile picture is all black, and there is nothing in her circle of friends, without any trace of life. I wonder if she is hiding herself.
Seeing him staring at his phone in a daze, Chen Zui leaned over the desk to take a look and caught a glimpse of the pinned chat with the note: SpongeBob SquarePants.
"Huh???" Chen Zui's eyes widened, "SpongeBob? Who is that?"
He extended his right index finger, intending to click on the profile picture to see who this person was.
Unexpectedly, the man was one step ahead of him. With a flick of his finger, he placed the phone screen on the table, pressed the power button on the side, and locked the screen.
As if he was keeping a secret from others.
Chen Zui narrowed his eyes, his IQ at that moment almost reaching that of Einstein, "I know, it's Xiao Ali!"
"Aren't you busy?"
Chen Zui acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He pouted and rolled his eyes upwards, "Yo yo yo... SpongeBob... Why is the ground so bumpy? Oh, I have goosebumps all over the ground."
He remembered that not long ago, this man was saying one thing and thinking another.
“Ahem…” Chen Zui started to playfully chant, and came to the huge French window at the back. Leaning against it, he imitated Yong Zhixu’s voice and attitude, pacing each word, “‘It Has Nothing to Do with Romance’, ‘It’s Not What You Think’, ‘Just Said’, ‘No Other Meaning’, ‘No Feeling’…”
He turned his face one way and then the other, imitating the expressions and tones perfectly and accurately.
A slap in the face.
A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Yong Zhixu's handsome face.
At that time, he didn't think he would be attracted to women, so his words were a bit absolute.
Facts have proved that nature can never escape the law of true fragrance.
If someone makes your heart beat faster at first sight, you will also be attracted by him/her at second sight, and every sight will make your heart beat faster.
Seeing his eyebrows unconsciously dyed with spring, Chen Zui stopped teasing and praised him and encouraged him: "Not bad, not bad, you have made progress. Keep up the good work, and you will eventually be like Yunchuan and win the beauty."
When mentioning Yunchuan, Yong Zhixu thought of the good news he had heard from the Yun and Zhou families in the past two days.
He was really happy for Yunchuan. Their childhood sweetheart and their first secret love finally got a response when he was 27 years old.
Although the process is bitter, fortunately, the fruit is sweet.
What about me? Will I get what I want?
Yong Zhixu fiddled with the Buddhist beads with his fingertips, looking through the floor-to-ceiling window at the clouds drifting across the sky.
Yes, he told himself, she would see it.
If he doesn't see it, it means he's not trying hard enough.
——
Time flies and it is another Wednesday.
Tonight is Mr. An’s birthday party.
As night was about to fall, luxury cars began to pull up at the An family's gate one after another. The security guards were on high alert with clear division of labor. Some were responsible for receiving invitations and registering, while others were responsible for helping guests park their cars. Everything was in perfect order.
As the An family is one of the most wealthy families in Beijing, the guests they invite are naturally either rich or noble.
These rows of luxury cars are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and at first glance, it looks like a car show.
As there were many guests tonight, the banquet was held in the An family's courtyard.
The courtyard of more than 4,000 square meters was designed by a famous garden master. It has a consistent view and is full of artistic atmosphere.
There are rockery fountains, orchids worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, bonsai costing millions, everything is available, showing luxury and wealth everywhere.
Above the entire banquet area, there were luxurious crystal chandeliers with dazzling embroidery, which illuminated the courtyard like daylight.
There are rows of long tables on three sides of the venue, and the palace-style tablecloths are filled with expensive wines and exquisite desserts.
Ecuadorian roses, flown in from abroad, decorated every corner of the banquet.
In order to show his style, An Minghe invited many big-name stars to join in the fun and also let in some reporters. He wanted everyone to see that the An Group is still as prosperous and stable as a rock.
The participation of big-name stars obviously brought a huge momentum to the banquet. Many paparazzi squatting opposite the An family's gate had started live broadcasts. Every time someone got out of a luxury car, the paparazzi would explain who they were, how rich they were, and how powerful they were.
There are countless people watching in every paparazzi’s live broadcast room.
When a low-key customized Maybach pulled up at the An family's gate and two young, distinguished, and handsome men who were no less handsome than celebrities got out, the netizens in the live broadcast room went wild:
Who are these two men?
【Leave a sign and receive a sachet】
[Waiting for my Phoenix Spring Grace Chariot]
[I am willing to marry the Marquis, even if it means being a concubine]
The paparazzi were all amused by the netizens' trolling, and they explained, "The most handsome guy in the white suit is the Vice President of our Huaguo International Chamber of Commerce. He's from an aristocratic family, so forget it. The guy next to him is the son of the Huayue Group, Chen Zui. Fingers crossed, he dated a popular young actress two years ago..."
When netizens heard that he had talked to a certain young actress, they started to make bold guesses.
The popularity was so high that the unaware Chen Zui was immediately on the hot search list.
The focus online is Chen Zui, but the focus of the banquet at this moment is Yong Zhixu.
As soon as he appeared at the banquet, some sharp-eyed bosses were stunned.
The younger generation may not know, but they know this gentleman's background.
He himself is the youngest vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, his mother is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, his father is the commander-in-chief of a certain military region, and his grandfather, his grandfather-in-law... ahem, can't say, can't say!
Strange, why would he come to the An family’s party?
Is this a disguised form of support?
What has the An family done to deserve his support?
Not only were these CEOs shocked, even the protagonist of the banquet, Mr. An, was extremely surprised.
Even when Yong Zhixu appeared at the banquet, he thought he was dazzled.
The invitation was just sent out as a courtesy, and he did not expect Master Yong to come.
Old Master An was flattered. He walked hurriedly and tremblingly towards Yong Zhixu, leaning on his crutches and holding a glass of champagne.
An old face was filled with a warm and flattering smile. "Mr. Yong, haha... Mr. Yong, your presence really brings honor to my humble home. Thank you for coming..."
