When Yan Qing was about to get off work in the evening, she called Huo Beiting and told him that she would not be home for dinner and asked him not to wait for her.
While calling, he complained about how complicated the day's tasks were and how he couldn't finish them, and also about the banquet.
I had originally planned to chat more and take this opportunity to relax, but the call hadn't lasted long when the assistant came over to inform me that it was time to get my hair done, so Yan Qing hung up the phone in a hurry.
Huo Beiting had originally planned to prepare a new dish for Yan Qing in the evening, but after he had bought the dishes, Yan Qing didn't come back for something.
Huo Beiting sighed, put the dishes in the refrigerator, and made some simple food to make do with.
After dinner, Huo Beiting hesitated and finally called his assistant to ask him to find out whose party Yan Qing was going to attend tonight.
For some reason, his heart had been pounding since he hung up the phone, and he felt a little uneasy.
After checking, it turned out that the party Yan Qing was going to attend tonight was the birthday party of a good friend of Cheng Zijue.
It was said that this birthday party was not originally planned to be a big one, but it happened that his good friend was admitted to a famous foreign university, and his father was happy, so he planned to hold a big one, and thus this party took place.
"Hey, Zijue, I need help with something..."
Huo Beiting told Cheng Zijue that Yan Qing was going to attend the banquet, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a look of disgust from Cheng Zijue.
"Hey Huo Beiting, Huo Beiting! Did you find a girlfriend or a daughter? It's just a party. Besides, I know that guy very well, and his family is very nice. What's there to worry about? Besides, won't my sister-in-law have to be independent in the future? You have to learn to let go too!"
Cheng Zijue's tone was quite helpless, thinking that when he looks for a partner in the future, he must find someone who can be self-reliant and who he doesn't need to worry about, otherwise he will be exhausted to death in the future.
"I don't know why, but I just feel a little uneasy. I feel like something is going to happen, so I called you."
Cheng Zijue was stunned. What could be said about Huo Beiting's intuition... It was more accurate than a woman's. Every time he felt that something bad was going to happen, it was certain that something would happen.
Because of this special ability, it helped him avoid many traps when he first joined the company. Later, as he became more and more proficient in the business, Cheng Zijue slowly forgot about this ability of Huo Beiting. If he hadn't mentioned it today, he would have forgotten it.
"Okay, I'll call you and tell you. You're just worrying too much. It's just a party, what could go wrong except an earthquake?"
Huo Beiting shook his head and pressed his heart, which was beating a little fast.
This speed has not slowed down since he hung up the phone with Yan Qing, and it made him a little nervous.
After Cheng Zijue finished speaking, he didn't hear any movement from the other side. He thought about what he had just said and instantly understood why Huo Beiting stopped talking, so he immediately spat twice.
"Look at my foul mouth, what are you talking about! Don't worry, Brother Huo, I'll call right away. My friends will be watching over him, so he'll be fine!"
Huo Beiting nodded. Because of what Cheng Zijue said, he didn't want to listen to Cheng Zijue anymore. He thanked him and hung up the phone.
Soon Cheng Zijue told Huo Beiting on WeChat that he had finished the call and his friend had agreed to help take care of him.
My gaze returned to Yan Qing...
Yan Qing was groomed by her assistant for nearly three hours that night, and was starved and not allowed to eat, all so that she would look good in her dress...
Yan Qing finally arrived at the banquet venue and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief because the assistant sent her there and left!
What does this mean!
This means she can eat whatever she wants! No one will care about her!
Yan Qing couldn't control her expression a little bit. She tried hard to suppress her laughter so that it wouldn't be so exaggerated as she sent the assistant away.
After giving the invitation to the waiter, Yan Qing was allowed to pass.
After entering the banquet venue, Yan Qing was greeted by a dazzling array of delicious food, which made his eyes glow green.
The meeting in the morning lasted until one in the afternoon. Yan Qing thought she could have lunch, but another pile of documents was delivered to her. She hadn't finished reading the ones in the morning yet, and another pile came. She was going crazy. She wanted to strangle the man who promised her father last night. Why did he agree to such a difficult task with her father?
Seeing so many delicious foods in the evening, Yan Qing almost cried.
She didn't care about her ladylike image at all and rushed over. But when she saw something she liked, she put it on the plate without caring what it was and took a glass of orange juice with it.
"Qingqing?"
Yan Qing was eating happily alone when she heard a disgusting sound. She swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, wiped her lips, and turned back gracefully.
"Am I familiar with you? Is this the name you can call me?"
Yan Qing had a faint smile on his face, and when he saw their arms linked together, he showed undisguised sarcasm on his face.
"Didn't you eat dinner? Things here are usually displayed beautifully!"
Ruan Mo frowned slightly as he looked at the plate in Yan Qing's hand. He spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, enough for the people around him to hear clearly.
"Qingqing, this is probably your first time attending a banquet like this, so you might not know that we don't eat these things. Aside from the drinks, everything else is just for show."
Gu Mingche kindly reminded and wanted to reach out and take the plate from Yan Qing's hand.
"Decoration? Aren't these delicious things meant for people to eat? When you used these things as decoration, did you ever think about the poor children in the mountains? I advise you not to donate millions of dollars at will in the future. You should start with the Clean Plate Campaign. If you can't even cherish food, what else can you do? Haven't you heard the poem about sweat dripping on the ground?"
Yan Qing said as he took a fork and put a piece of delicate cake into his mouth, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.
Because of her words, the people around who were holding wine glasses looked at the glasses in their hands, and finally silently took the plates and started to pick up food.
Gu Mingche's face turned dark, and he was about to explode when he was stopped by Ruan Mowei.
"Yan Qing is right! But we can donate these things when the time comes! Once we touch them and can't finish them, they will be thrown into the trash. Isn't that a waste?"
Ruan Mo blinked her eyes slightly, looking innocent, like an ignorant girl.
Yan Qing chuckled after hearing this, walked over to Ruan Mowei, and patted her shoulder. "You're still as pretentious and disgusting as before! Maybe some people would have believed you before, but now... don't you even look at your image first?"
