Chapter 166 - Passion
After filling in the information and clicking submit, Shi Feiye happily hummed a song and continued typing. Before she had finished typing much, she received a call from Qin Buzhu, who said there was a dinner party that evening and she needed to attend.
After such a long time, she will attend the banquet with the boss again.
But this time was definitely different from the last time. While the former boss was seen by outsiders as a downtrodden loser, the current boss was a potential stock poised for a comeback. Shi Feiye knew without a doubt that the boss would be especially popular tonight.
As agreed, Shi Leng came to pick her up around five o'clock and took her along the way to dress up. By the time Shi Feiye had almost finished packing, it was almost seven o'clock, so they hurried to the banquet.
Shi Leng first took Shi Feiye to a teahouse, where Qin Buzhu was waiting for her, and then the two of them went to the banquet together.
Shi Feiye is even more dazzling today than the last time she attended the banquet. Last time, she did her makeup by herself, and it was enough for a clumsy person to be able to put it on. Who could expect her to look good?
This time, it was a professional who magnified her strengths many times over. She looked bright and beautiful, yet also brimming with youthful energy. Standing next to Qin Buzhu, she was not inferior to him in any way, but rather complemented him perfectly.
Even Shi Leng couldn't help but wonder if Qin Buzhu's special affection for Shi Feiye was also due to her appearance. Although Qin Buzhu was not a lustful man and was always rude to women, a beauty of Shi Feiye's level was really rare. Qin Buzhu was also a normal man and didn't like men, so it was normal for him to be attracted to her, right?
But it's just a thought.
After Shi Feiye got out of the car, Qin Buzhu stood beside her. When she was about to move forward, he pulled her and then raised his arm. Shi Feiye finally realized what was going on and quickly took his arm. She had no choice but to do it. She rarely attended banquets that required a male companion, so it was normal that she didn't remember one at the moment.
As soon as the two of them entered the hall, someone came to greet them warmly. The middle-aged couple was smiling, and the man spoke first:
"Oh my, isn't this Mr. Qin? I never thought you would give me such a great honor. This is Mr. Qin's wife, right? I heard that she and Mr. Qin went through thick and thin together and would rather live a hard life than leave. She is truly worthy of being the good granddaughter-in-law chosen by Mr. Qin. The virtuous couple standing together are a role model for young couples."
The lady next to the middle-aged man also smiled brightly:
"Yes, yes. I told Xiao today that when looking for a wife, I want to find someone like Madam Qin, who has good character and brings good fortune to her husband. Madam Qin is young and promising, and Madam Qin is as beautiful as a flower. You two are a perfect match, truly enviable."
Qin Bulu felt relieved to hear this. This fox couple from the Zhou family really knew how to talk. No wonder their business had lasted so long. "Thank you so much."
Shi Feiye's face nearly flushed upon hearing this. It was normal for Qin Buliu to be praised for his youthful achievements, but why did they bring her into the picture? They were talking about a virtuous couple, a perfect match, and even a role model. If they knew their true situation, their jaws would drop.
At this time, Shi Feiye didn't know that people in the business world could only say certain things because they had heard some rumors or guessed some information.
The Zhou family is a seasoned bunch, having run a stable business for over twenty years thanks to their ability to assess the situation. When Mr. Zhou invited Qin Buzhu, even though he knew Qin Buzhu would most likely not come, he still did his homework.
He knew, of course, that Qin Buzhu's rapid rise to power was definitely not due to a loss of power and then a renewed effort. In fact, few people with a brain could fail to guess that Qin Buzhu had left a way out for himself long ago. However, under such circumstances, Qin Buzhu never divorced Shi Feiye, which was a serious problem.
I heard that the two of them almost divorced, but it ended in nothing. No matter what happened in between, they didn't get divorced. As long as they didn't get divorced, Shi Feiye would be Madam Qin. As Madam Qin, no matter how unpresentable she was, it wouldn't be anyone's business to criticize her.
Moreover, someone they knew told them that Qin Buzhu had taken Shi Feiye, Sun Quanzhang and others out for dinner a few days ago.
For so many years, Qin Buzhu has never been seen taking any woman out, let alone going out to eat with a close friend like Sun Quanzhang. This is enough for them to suspect that Qin Buzhu has a special affection for Shi Feiye. But today, when the two of them entered the door, Shi Feiye was holding Qin Buzhu's arm.
Qin Buzhu is not a man who would save face for women. He looks like a gentleman, but the women who took the initiative to approach him in the past were all turned away by his cold attitude. It was the first time that he was willing to be held arm in arm by someone to attend a banquet.
These thoughts raced through his mind, and within a second, Mr. Zhou had already decided on his attitude towards Shi Feiye. Before he came over, he leaned over to Mrs. Zhou's ear to give her a reminder, which led to his words just now.
"No, no, I'm not good at talking, please don't mind me." Mr. Zhou said, making a gesture of invitation, "Don't just stand here, please come in."
Madam Zhou also did not forget to tell the waiter beside her: "Hurry up, don't just stand there, bring Young Master Qin and Madam Qin in, and treat them well for me."
Compared to the last time when he was shown his superiority before even entering the door, the treatment this time is completely different. Shi Feiye has never felt so deeply about money as now. Boss Qin has not yet been fully reinstated, and this person is already so enthusiastic. If he is reinstated in the future, what will it be like?
The two of them entered and immediately attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, Shi Feiye had been interviewed in her past life and had seen a lot of things, so she didn't get stage fright under so many people's gaze. Her arm around Qin Buzhu tightened slightly, but she quickly relaxed, a polite smile on her face, and continued to follow Qin Buzhu inside.
"Young Master Qin..." Someone was about to approach Qin Buzhu when they were interrupted by a sudden call of "Second Brother".
"Second brother, I knew you were coming. Oh, and you brought Miss Shi with you." The person who came running over was Qian Bowen, his face full of joy. Seeing Shi Feiye, he was no longer as dazed as before.
"Is the Qian family busy lately?" Qin Bulu's tone was much gentler than when he was talking to outsiders.
"Busy? Of course I'm busy! I'm completely distracted. I was playing chess with my old man today, and I finally won a round. That's why he gave me the day off and asked me to come over to join in the fun. I saw things were going well for you, so I thought you'd come over. And sure enough, I was right, haha."
