Chapter 1372 (1/2)
At 6:10 p.m., Qianmen port.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Li Qing drank only warm coffee and threw the empty cup into the garbage bag. He looked at the electronic watch in the car, then pushed the door to get off, put his coat hat over his head and walked along the guardrail.
Not long after, when she came to the shore, Li Qing stepped onto a speedboat that had already been waiting there.
The receptionist in suits and shoes greeted him with a touch of doubt: ”excuse me... Are you Mr. Luo and Ms. Liu?”
Li Qing glanced sideways at him: ”are you stupid? Do you think I'm Mr. Luo or Ms. Liu? Or am I both Mr. Luo and Ms. Liu?”
”Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” the receptionist bowed down and apologized, ”this is my mistake, because there are two people on the gold certificate, but you have only one, so... Are you Mr. Luo?”
Li Qing replied stiffly, ”ah.”
”Excuse me...”
”The girl can't come.”
The receptionist hesitated a little: ”excuse me, sir, did Ms. Liu cancel her appointment before?”
”You're a lot of nonsense.” Li Qing said angrily, leaning his head slightly, trying not to let the receptionist see his face.
”Sorry, if the ratio of men to women is uneven, we need to arrange this in advance for the normal progress of the dinner.” the receptionist bowed again, ”Sir, can I have a look at your invitation ticket? Thank you.”
”OK, OK, it's really troublesome...” Li Qing murmured, then reached into his arms, ”let me find it. Ah, I found it, here you are...”
”Thank you.” the receptionist leaned towards him and quickly stretched out his hands to pick it up.
Li Qing's hand shook in front of the receptionist, and then retracted.
”Sir, you...”
The receptionist blinked and looked up at Li Qing with a puzzled face. Who knows, at this time, a fist suddenly went straight to his face. The receptionist only felt that his eyes were black and immediately knew nothing.
”It's hard work. There are so many rules in a Tianyu family. You have to have a man and a woman. You should be breeding...” Li Qing shouted and hurriedly helped the receptionist who was about to fall. He looked around warily, then carried the other party on his shoulder, turned and jumped ashore, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After another five or six minutes, a man and a woman turned from the front. They talked in a low voice and were in good spirits.
When the two men came to the dock, the woman looked into the speedboat and turned her head to see her boyfriend: ”no one?”
”It should be here.” the man said, turned around and looked around. ”It's never happened before. Where's the receptionist tonight?”
The woman stamped her foot in a little displeasure: ”she still claims to be a high-end social person. What kind of service attitude is this?”
”Wait a minute.”
”What are you waiting for? Just go home.”
When the man saw that the woman was going to leave, he quickly grabbed her: ”I made an appointment three times before I got the invitation ticket. Are you going to leave now? Just wait a minute. All the people you see tonight are leaders of Mingtai. It's definitely worth your trip.”
”It's a masquerade party.”
The man raised his hand, touched the woman's cheek, lowered his voice and said, ”it depends on whether you have the ability to let the other party take off the mask.”
”Husband,” said the woman, ”if there are other men... What should I do?”
The man stared at her, neither allowed nor refused, but said faintly, ”this is a game. The winner is the one who can play to the end. If you want to win, you will become a cunning fox. Don't be the one who takes off the mask first.”
What else did the woman want to say? Suddenly she heard a sound of footsteps behind her.
”Ouch, I'm sorry. I just went to make it convenient for you. I've kept you waiting for a long time.” Li Qing, in a suit, trotted over and stood in front of them. ”Are you Mr. Luo and Ms. Liu?”
The man nodded, ”yes.”
His eyes flickered slightly. Li Qing bowed respectfully: ”please, I'm the receptionist tonight. I'll serve you wholeheartedly.”
”HMM.” the man answered and pulled the woman onto the speedboat.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief behind them. When people didn't pay attention, he raised his hand and pulled the slightly inappropriate shirt collar.
”Is this your first time to Tianyu's house?” Li Qing stepped onto the speedboat and asked with a smile.
The man looked at his girlfriend and replied, ”I've been here twice. She's the first time.”
”Oh, so you should know the rules of Tianyu house?”
”Yes.”
Li Qing asked, ”are you husband and wife?”
The man was a little unhappy: ”well.”
