Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 79 Keep Your Mouth Shut

Mr. Gu, along with Gu Sheng and several business partners present at the meeting, clinked glasses, sipped his wine, and said hello. As he walked back, he whispered to his son, "Where's Lu Shize?"

He had taken a special look at the sign-in roster today and indeed saw Lu Shize's name. Lu Shize was always busy and was said to be on a business trip, so he might not be able to make it. Although his son's company had sent an invitation, in fact, the other party only sent someone to deliver a gift, which was actually acceptable for the ceremony. Besides, the adopted granddaughter under his mother's name would definitely come...

But, I clearly saw him on the sign-in list... Since he's here, he can't just leave without chatting, right?

"Maybe... he is busy with something else. Dad, let's go over there."... The two of them held their wine glasses and went into the crowd again.

After a round of polite greetings, the two turned around and saw Lu Shize holding a glass of wine, surrounded by several people. When their eyes met, Mr. Gu smiled and walked forward awkwardly, "...Mr. Lu, what a rare guest today!!!"

Lu Shize raised his wine glass towards him, and he hurried over. The people around him also greeted Lao Gu.

"Mr. Lu, welcome to my humble abode... Are you still discussing business?"

One of them talked about the development of a piece of land in the east of the city, and the other person also took up the topic. However, Lu Shize had a calm expression on his face, so Mr. Gu knew that he had no interest in this project.

"···If I were to talk about the current trends, I think it would be artificial intelligence and new energy."

Everyone knows that these two types of stocks in the stock market have indeed seen good growth... so they all agreed and used various words to flatter them.

Lu Shize then smiled and raised his glass slightly. Old Gu quickly touched his glass to him and said, "Excuse me... Mr. Lu, the world is no longer the same as it used to be. Now it belongs to you young people."

Lu Shize must come today. He has to meet this old Gu. The two sides did cooperate in some business before, but they have never had much contact... This time, after asking Lin Rong, he found out that the Shen family's affairs back then were inseparable from this man named Gu.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, real or imaginary, Lu Shize will come to meet Lao Gu and will interact more with him in the future.

"From what you said, you have two good sons, especially Gu Sheng, who, as everyone knows, owns several emerging companies... This way, the Gu family can have the young people's keenness in grasping trends, and with your many years of experience... Isn't this like adding wings to a tiger?

The future is limitless...we will continue to follow you."

The people around him echoed again... Gu Sheng was also a little happy in his heart. Lu Shize's words undoubtedly showed that he thought highly of his own businesses...

In other words, even if she didn't have anything to do with Shen Jiaojiao, she could still get close to Lu Shize?

Or, you don't have to threaten him with anything yourself?

In the future, it is very likely that the one who will have in-depth cooperation between the Gu family and the Lu family will be me, not my eldest brother?

With Lu's orders, financial and personal connections, I would be even more powerful.

Hearing the compliment, Lao Gu felt a little happy, but Lu Shize was a businessman after all, so there must be other meanings in his words... Could it be that he had already taken a fancy to one of his projects?

Will you cooperate again in the future?

Maybe even a little deeper than before?

But cooperation is cooperation, even if it involves money, you have to be on guard at all times. Is the cooperation a win-win situation, or will he take the opportunity to eat you up?

Old Gu smiled and said, "You're too kind... Today's banquet mainly features food that young people like, so I'm sorry that we haven't treated you well enough."

When the program reached the masquerade ball, Gu Sheng helped his father sit in the upper seat before going to the dressing room to prepare.

Fang Zhi and Lu Yanran wanted to find Shen Jiaojiao and were preparing to change clothes together. They made a phone call, but it was Aunt Xue who answered the phone. The banquet hall was very large, and the two parties agreed on a meeting place. Fang Zhi and Lu Yanran ran all the way and finally met Aunt Xue.

Lu Yanran asked anxiously, "Why is your phone here? Where is Jiaojiao? We were drinking just now. It's been so long, and she's been alone. Where could she go?"

"Hey, keep your voice down," Fang Zhi felt something was wrong the more she listened, and quickly raised her hand to cover Lu Yanran's lips.

She approached Aunt Xue and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where Jiaojiao is?"

Aunt Xue shook her head and said, "She didn't let me follow her and just left the house. I didn't dare to leave because I was afraid she would come back and not be able to find me."

Fang Zhi asked some more questions, but Aunt Xue's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Housekeeper Zhao calling. He roughly asked her to go to Room 207 upstairs and bring all the clothes of the young lady. The young lady had fallen asleep, so he asked her to change her clothes...

After all, Lu Shize took into consideration that the little one would be very tired and have poor sleep quality after wearing a dress and those accessories. After changing clothes and finishing his work here, he could go home directly.

Aunt Xue quickly said something to Fang Zhi and hurried to the dressing room to get the clothes.

It sounded like she was resting and asleep, and there was someone watching over her. Fang Zhi and Lu Yanran felt relieved and walked slowly towards the dressing room.

"···Yanran, sometimes, I know you are kind or careless, but when you are in a crowded place, you still have to be careful when you speak."

Lu Yanran rolled her eyes and said innocently, "I didn't say anything wrong."

Hearing this, Fang Zhi simply stopped and pulled her to the corridor, "Yes, I didn't say you said the wrong thing.

Each piece of information is correct when taken individually, but when put together, it becomes meaningless. Do you understand?

It’s like, Jiaojiao disappeared just now, and you said that she disappeared, she was alone, and she didn’t have anyone with her. Then you said that she was drunk, and it took so long... Let’s not talk about whether you saw that she was drunk, and how drunk she was.

But putting all four pieces of information together, doesn't it just lead people to wild speculation? "

"She disappeared, she drank, she didn't bring anyone with her, and it took a long time... I didn't say anything wrong about these things," Lu Yanran deliberately acted innocent and continued to argue.

It was precisely because of these arguments that Fang Zhi sighed. Perhaps her friend really didn't mean it, and she had wrongly accused her. She hugged Lu's arm and said, "I know you didn't, so I said you didn't mean it..."

But the four messages that just popped up are not good for Jiaojiao. What if others talk about her?

They said she was drunk and alone, and no one knew where she went... Anyway, there were all kinds of inexplicable suspicions.

As for you, you may be too naive, and you never stayed in such occasions when you were a child, so I am talking too much and want to talk to you."

Lu Yanran deliberately lowered her head, making Fang Zhi feel that she had said something a bit harsh, and hurriedly pushed her away, "I'm sorry, you didn't mean it, and I said so much.

But from now on, I really can’t say things about my good friends loudly anymore. If someone with ulterior motives hears them, who knows what they might say...

Anyway, if you keep your mouth shut, you can keep a lot of things. This is what my mother taught me, although I sometimes can't do it."
