Chapter 180: Meeting at a Banquet
Chu Rui is very serious at work, with the wisdom and rigor of an entrepreneur, but in private, he becomes unruly.
The more I get to know him, the more I feel that Chu Rui is an interesting person, and it is even more interesting to travel with interesting people.
"Chu Rui, why don't you look around at the banquet tonight to see if there is a girl better than me? Don't waste your time on me." I said to him in the same humorous tone.
Chu Rui's expression broke, and he immediately looked out the window sadly: "Jingjing, you probably don't understand men. They won't change their target easily before they get their prey."
I chuckled. "No, it's because I know you men too well. You men are basically eating from your bowl while also keeping an eye on the pot."
Chu Rui was instantly amused by me.
The banquet was held in a star-rated hotel. Chu Rui said that it was a celebration for a very famous company and many prominent people were invited.
All my knowledge about banquets comes from scenes I’ve seen in various movies and TV series. I don’t know if in reality, they are as high-end and classy as they are on TV, or if TV can’t capture the extravagance and decadence in reality.
The banquet hall is on the fifth floor and requires an invitation.
Chu Rui raised his arm towards me and said to me: "Hold my arm, it's more formal."
"Do we have to link arms?" I was stunned.
"You are my female companion today, please give me some face." Chu Rui looked at me eagerly.
He is my boss, so I had to give him some face. So, I took his arm and walked over.
Even at the door, I saw several familiar faces. They were famous stars, both men and women. They were dressed elegantly and talked in low voices.
If it were in my previous life, when I saw a big star like this, I would shamelessly go up to him/her and ask for his/her autograph or take a photo with him/her, and then show off a little on the Internet.
But now, when I see these celebrities, I feel calm and no longer as passionate and impulsive.
This may be the inner growth, but I heard that such people are not easy to be happy.
Entering the living room, under the gorgeous and dazzling crystal chandeliers, everyone was dressed formally. The men were basically wearing well-fitting suits, while the women were like flowers, wearing dresses of all colors. But looking at them together, they were all vying for beauty and fragrance. The beauties were so pleasing to the eye, forming a unique scene for tonight's banquet.
As I walked along, I found that everyone was very relaxed, and no man or woman was holding hands, so I immediately withdrew my hand from Chu Rui's arm.
Chu Rui seemed to have hit on a funny point. He grabbed a glass of wine for me and said with a smile, "I'm not kidding you. I just want to take this opportunity to get closer to you."
I took the wine he offered me and smiled: "I'm not angry either."
Chu Rui was mesmerized by my smile for two seconds, a little stunned. The next second, he blushed, quickly picked up a glass of wine and pretended to drink it.
"Come on, I'll take you to see my uncle." Chu Rui hooked his finger at me: "He's here today too."
I was stunned for a moment. Sure enough, the wealthy families are all connected. If you pick out any one of them, they all have a name.
When Chu Rui took me over, I saw a man in a suit answering the phone with his back to the living room. He was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses.
Chu Rui stepped forward and shouted, "Uncle, I knew you would come."
The man who answered the phone turned his head and I was stunned.
I thought Chu Rui's uncle must be in his forties or fifties, but judging by his appearance, he is only in his early thirties, with a gentle temperament.
"Xiao Rui, you're here too." The man hurriedly ended the call and walked over with a smile. "I heard from your parents that you recently started an internet company. It's pretty good. You're so young, but you're so enterprising."
Chu Rui touched the back of his head, with an expression of a junior being restrained in front of an elder: "Uncle, don't you know my ability?"
The man turned his gaze and fell on me, and asked curiously: "Who is this..."
Chu Rui immediately said: "Oh, she is my assistant, her name is Jingjing, and she is still in school."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chu Rui did not make any random introductions, otherwise, I would have been really embarrassed.
I know that family elders of their status and position must hope that their younger generations can find someone of equal status when they get married in the future.
"Well, young people have more topics to talk about when they are together. I have a friend coming over, so I'll go over and say hello first." The man said, and walked away from us.
I looked at his back, standing straight as a pine tree, and felt that he had an elite temperament. Moreover, his calm eyes made me feel that we were of the same kind.
"My uncle is a famous surgeon, you probably can't tell." Chu Rui said suddenly.
"Ah?" I was really surprised. I didn't expect that he had this kind of job. No wonder, I saw a hint of indifference in his calm and gentle eyes. It was the kind of calmness after being accustomed to life and death. It was an indescribable feeling, which could be said to be cold or an emotion that transcended life and death.
"My uncle is a nominal professor at the university." Chu Rui seemed to admire his uncle very much. After all, people who can achieve success in medicine are not ordinary people.
"Jingjing, come with me, I see some familiar faces." Chu Rui suddenly became interested, subconsciously holding my hand tightly, and walked towards the other side of the venue.
I looked down at my fingers that he was holding tightly. His body temperature was very warm. It was so cold here that I actually felt it felt pretty good when he held my hand.
Well, it’s mainly because I’m quite fickle. Handsome and capable men have gradually become my prey in love. Am I too bad?
Just as Chu Rui and I were walking through the crowd, I suddenly heard a deep voice calling me: "Jingjing, is it really you?"
I thought I must be hallucinating. It had been two or three months, so how could I hear Su Beicheng's voice?
Chu Rui seemed to have heard it too. He stopped, turned around and said to me, "Is someone calling your name?"
I immediately looked around, and suddenly, my eyes fell on the group of most prestigious men in the middle, and I saw Su Beicheng in a suit.
He was holding a glass of wine and looking at me in surprise, as if he didn't expect to see me here.
My heart skipped a beat and I stared at him blankly.
At this moment, my brain reacted quickly. Two or three months have passed, and Su Beicheng should have gotten married.
But why is he in Shanghai? Shouldn't he be in Beijing?
Could it be that he came here specially to attend this banquet?
Chu Rui saw me staring at Su Beicheng, and he seemed to have a sudden sense of crisis. He held my hand tightly and tightly: "Jingjing, who is he?"
