Chapter 257 (1/2)
There are more and more people at the banquet. Song Wen and Xiang Chaojue have to act separately. Xiang Chaojue is responsible for talking business and cooperation with the business elites. Song Wen has to deal with the wives and ladies who come up to compete with her.
Song Wen thinks that a group of ugly people are qualified to compete with her. She hums coldly, and is indifferent to their flattery or sarcasm.
But if someone gossips with her about her relationship with Xiang Chaojue, it's different.
Song Wen will immediately get excited. She suddenly widens her eyes and talks about it. ”I don't have a clear relationship with Chao Jue. I'm sure I'm going to have a drink with him.” After that, she took a glass of champagne from the waiter and sipped it. She showed a proud smile, her eyes and teeth shining in the light.
Some people are unconvinced, deliberately mocking her, ”that's not sure, who knows whether it will be received, maybe it's just -” it's just a daydream of Song Wen.
The man didn't have time to finish, because Song Wen had already blacked her face. A little wine was not enough to make her drunk. She did everything in a sober state, and she never regretted or even wanted to cheer for herself.
She very calmly refuted the other party, ”maybe it's just because your identity is too low to receive our invitation. No, you won't even have the chance to touch the rough edge of the invitation.”
”You -” the other party was so angry that he almost didn't fight with her in the hall.
Song Wen disdains to have physical contact with this kind of person. She is arrogant, even arrogant, which makes people have a sense of distance, but she can't help being attracted by her.
Song Wen claims that she is close to Xiang Chaojue, but Xiang Chaojue is evasive. She refuses to say that they are in love, let alone the possibility of marriage.
The media have described their relationship as an undisclosed underground love, or a complicated one, or a relationship with more than one friend and less than one lover. Anyway, it's good to say that their relationship has not been decided by the media because of Gu luanqing's existence.
Gu luanqing neither accepts the interview nor refuses to admit the identity of Xiao San, which makes people more curious about her relationship with Xiang Chaojue. In order to avoid the media, she doesn't even go to work. The company's top management has been discussing about dismissing her, but Xiang Chaojue still keeps her under the pressure from all walks of life. I don't know whether she is waiting for her resignation or really wants to protect her.
No matter what he does, whether he does or not, he will become the focus of the outside world.
Song Wen is the same.
In the middle of the party, Zhong Jingmo calls, and Song Wen receives a strange call that she is familiar with but not marked.
”Excuse me, excuse me.”
”Excuse me, excuse me.” Xiang Chaojue and Song Wen said the same words on both sides of the hall. They bypassed the bustling crowd, passed through the elegant ladies and gentlemen, and walked into the bathroom under their gaze.
With a look at Chao Jue, those who are still slowly releasing their hands silently pull up the zipper and walk away quickly without even washing their hands, leaving space for him.
As soon as Song Wen enters the bathroom, she immediately orders the ladies who are making up in front of the mirror to leave. Her cold face can be called ice beauty. The women are forced to give in to the pressure of her beautiful appearance. Under her order, they all leave the scene with their skirts.
When they were all gone, Xiang Chaojue and Song Wen got on the phone. They were in the toilets at both ends of the hall, saying the same words, with the same cold and uneasy look, ”what can I do for you?”
Xiang Chaojue has been looking for an opportunity to have a good talk with Zhong Jingmo about his relationship with Gu luanqing, but he has never found an opportunity. In addition, he has been too close to Song Wen recently, and he has no way to argue. Even if he meets Zhong Jingmo at this time, he can't change anything.
The point is, did he regret what he did to Gu luanqing?
Obviously not.
Zhong Jingmo's tone is still relaxed, but it is obviously unnatural compared with the usual kind of idle attitude, ”are you free now? Let's play tennis tonight. You should not forget what I told you last time
”No, but I have something else to do. It may be very late. Is that ok?” He looks down at Chao Jue's watch. It's exactly eight o'clock in the evening. He doesn't have time to meet Zhong Jingmo until at least eleven o'clock. He didn't come to the banquet for pleasure. After that, he has to go back to the company to sort out all his potential partners and give them to the Secretary General for investigation. Then he has time to rest.
Afraid of Zhong Jingmo's complaint, he suggested to Chao Jue, ”otherwise, when I'm finished, it's OK to have a drink. Shouldn't I have a drink at night?”
Compared with Xiang Chaojue who was stabbed all over before, he is much more gentle now. It seems that he was really dazzled by anger before. He was too anxious to find a vent, and did not consider that the person he hurt was the closest person around him.
