Chapter 57: Banquet
The banquet started very quickly. Su Yan and Shi Qing did not walk the red carpet like those celebrities. Instead, they entered the venue through the passageway that the Lu family had specially set up for low-key people like them.
It was no different from the countless banquets they had attended in the past. It was just a group of people holding wine glasses and chatting happily.
Su Yan quickly pushed Shi Qing to a corner and sat down.
“Actually, it’s fine even if you don’t want to come.” Shi Qing noticed Su Yan’s boredom and reminded her.
Su Yan shook her head. “Grandpa and Third Uncle arranged for me to attend today as the granddaughter of the Yun family. Obviously, they want to introduce me.” After saying that, she shrugged her shoulders. “No choice, he’s too nice.”
She didn’t specify who she was referring to. Su Yan did not say much to Shi Qing, but she felt as if a crowd was slowly gathering around her. She took some time to look up and saw Yun Chang bringing a group of people over.
Meeting Su Yan’s gaze, Yun Chang walked forward with a smile and introduced her to his old friends. “This is my second brother’s only daughter, Yun Xi. She was just found a few days ago.” After saying that, he pretended to sigh. “My niece has suffered a lot outside. After all, she’s not at home. How can outsiders treat her well?”
The old friends were all smart people. Upon hearing Yun Chang’s words, they exchanged looks and immediately understood what he meant.
The person closest to Yun Chang replied, “Xiao Xi is obviously very outstanding. Look at her elegant demeanor. She seems to have received a good education since she was young.”
The people at the side praised him one by one, and the atmosphere was actually extremely harmonious for a time.
Yun Chang introduced him to Su Yan. “This is President Wang from Huashui. This is…”
After introducing everyone one by one, Su Yan used her good memory and called them again. This shocked everyone and they all praised Su Yan for her good memory.
Yun Chang was satisfied with this outcome. After this banquet ended, everyone should know that the Yun family’s Yun Xi had been found. Moreover, she was as smart as she was when she was young.
After the introduction, Yun Chang was about to leave when President Wang, who had just been introduced, recognized Shi Qing, who was keeping a low profile.
“Are you the President of the Shi Corporation, Shi Qing?” President Wang was shocked at first, then he lost his composure and exaggerated. “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
His attitude was extremely humble. Huashui had always wanted to take another step forward. If he could build a relationship with the Shi family, this wish would be easily fulfilled. After all, although the Yun family had a large family and business, they rarely overlapped with Huashui’s business. Instead, it was the Shi family.
The Shi family was the boss of this industry. If they could get Shi Qing’s help… At the thought of this, President Wang’s round face turned red.
However, Shi Qing only nodded his head in a reserved manner. Then, he sat on the wheelchair steadily as if Su Yan was the only person in his eyes.
What kind of sly old fox was President Wang? Naturally, he knew what to say at this time, so he flattered, “President Shi and Xiao Xi are a perfect match. They are a match made in heaven.” In the end, he even concluded, “A perfect match.”
It had to be said that President Wang’s flattery was very pleasing.
Finally, he was willing to look at President Wang. Shi Qing deliberated for a moment before saying, “I’ve seen the materials from Huashui, the quality is indeed not bad. If there’s a chance in the future, we can work together.”
After hearing this, President Wang’s heart felt sweeter than honey. He looked at Shi Qing as if he was looking at the God of Fortune. Su Yan found it funny.
President Wang said a lot of good wishes to Su Yan and Shi Qing before he was finally pulled away. Before he left, President Wang did not forget to pay attention to Shi Qing’s expression. When he saw Shi Qing’s gaze only on Su Yan, he knew that it was right for him to be on good terms with Yun Chang.
All the bootlicking earlier was effective! With this thought in mind, President Wang left happily.
Su Yan watched as Yun Chang and the rest left, in contrast to President Wang, who looked especially lively, she could not help but curl her lips into a smile. She pulled Shi Qing and said, “This President Wang is really interesting. He’s also a wonderful person. His ability to judge people’s expressions is also superb.”
Shi Qing found it interesting as well. “Yes, there are many people in the business world who know how to read people’s minds. However, there aren’t many people like this President Wang who knows how to flatter…”
Su Yan smiled too. However, she didn’t smile for long before she saw Mu Lian, who was dressed sexily and revealingly, walking over from afar. “Look, someone who does not take any hint is here.”
Not willing to get into a conflict at such a time, Su Yan prepared to push Shi Qing away. Shi Qing supported his head on the armrest of the wheelchair, having no intention of paying attention to Mu Lian.
Mu Lian had spent a lot of effort to obtain the admission ticket, but she had finally managed to sneak in. How could she let Su Yan and Shi Qing leave just like that?
