Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

"You, as their boss, are going to their victory celebration? Aren't you afraid the employees will feel uncomfortable?" Xu Su was speechless. Did this person really not understand the hardships of working people?

Although she never had a proper job, she was a surfing pro. There was a joke in her past life that said the resentment of working people was heavier than that of ghosts.

It's a rare occasion to have a celebration banquet, so we should have some fun and relax.

This person had a powerful aura. Xu Su had just noticed that among that group of people, apart from the two experienced engineers at the head, the others didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Zhou Mochen.

I'm really going to the victory celebration...

Xu Su's lips twitched slightly, and she wanted to say something, but Zhou Mochen pinched her cheek.

He smiled and said to her, "Su Su, if you knew what my attendance represented, you would understand how much they wanted me to go."

"..." Xu Su suddenly understood.

This is no ordinary superior; he is the heir apparent of the group, and not just a playful, irresponsible second-generation rich kid, but someone who wields real power within the group, especially in the real estate branch, where he is the undisputed head.

Every word and action of his subordinates is magnified infinitely. If he were to attend this celebration banquet, it would not only represent his satisfaction with the completion of the project, but also demonstrate his high regard for the engineering team of the Changshi project.

Compared to the approval of the group's future leader, what does it matter whether a meal is comfortable or not?

If you add up all the branch office members, no matter how big the investment project, how smooth it goes, or how much profit it brings to the company, how few of them have ever received the honor of the Crown Prince personally attending the celebration banquet?

Xu Su thought about it carefully for a moment and suddenly understood.

Sure enough, she was too narrow-minded; all she cared about was the victory celebration and relaxing...

Short-sighted!

Seeing the little girl's slight disappointment, Zhou Mochen leaned closer and asked, "Are you going? Or shall we eat by ourselves?"

"..." Xu Su didn't care whether she went or not, but...

“Go!” Xu Su’s voice was firm and resolute.

It's not very interesting for just the two of them to eat together, and she doesn't want to go home so early.

I always feel extremely unsafe at home, as if he could take advantage of me at any moment...

The celebration banquet was held at the Mingdu Club, which had two private rooms. The young people with little experience were seated in the next room.

Those who can come to the large private room are all leaders with influence in the team.

Zhou Mochen, holding Xu Su's hand, was welcomed to the seats of honor by a group of people. After the two of them sat down, the others took their seats in turn.

The round table was laden with exquisite dishes. This group of people were probably regulars at the hotel. The door to the private room was quickly pushed open, and the hotel's female manager, dressed in a uniform, came in with a smile and greeted them.

They addressed him as "General Manager Wang" repeatedly, as if they were very familiar with each other.

The chief engineer, Wang Qiang, was not as casual as he usually was when only his team was present. He seemed quite reserved and gave the manager a few instructions, asking her to properly introduce the restaurant's signature dishes to the distinguished guests.

The female manager was also a shrewd person. Just by looking at the seats, she knew who the boss at this table was. She immediately suppressed her familiar smile and respectfully bowed slightly to Zhou Mochen, who had been silent all along, to introduce him.

Everyone present smiled and occasionally chimed in, but no one touched their chopsticks.

Xu Su listened for a while and found it unoriginal. In addition, she hadn't eaten much in the afternoon and was already hungry.

After scanning the area with his eyes, he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of fish from the plate in front of him.

As soon as she picked up her chopsticks, the surroundings fell silent for a second before quickly becoming lively again; the subtle change was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

Xu Su, on the other hand, didn't notice anything amiss; she was engrossed in eating.

Huang Chao sat on the other side, completely unfazed by the situation.

What's so bad about taking the first bite of food? He's witnessed far more outrageous and absurd things.

Ever since he witnessed his boss drink that bottle of red wine and still look radiant the next day, Huang Chao had already considered this Miss Xu as his future boss's wife.

It's no wonder he was so hasty; this girl is truly extraordinary...

After Xu Su started eating, Zhou Mochen told everyone to make themselves at home, and then occasionally put food on her plate and responded to the others.

Before they had even finished a few bites of food, the chief engineer named Wang Qiang stood up and toasted Zhou Mochen.

Sitting next to him was a girl with bright features and fair skin, wearing a dress and with a shapely figure. Xu Su glanced at her and confirmed that the girl had not appeared at the construction site this afternoon.

Before Wang Qiang stood up, he glanced at the girl. She understood and stood up as well, carrying a bottle of red wine. She walked a few steps to Zhou Mochen's side and filled his glass.

After pouring the wine, she didn't leave, remaining respectfully and gently standing beside Zhou Mochen.

Xu Su raised an eyebrow, stopped what she was doing, and watched the show with great interest.

She was somewhat unsure whether the play unfolding before her meant what she thought it would.

They say men in engineering are savvy and adventurous; she probably understood that correctly.

But, in front of her…

However, this girl is quite pretty, with a slender yet curvy figure, fair and tender skin, and a charming and alluring appearance. In Xu Su's opinion, she is no less attractive than Fei Qiao.

This CEO Wang really went to great lengths to find such a high-quality girl. No wonder he still sent her over even after Zhou Mochen already had her...

Xu Sumo remained silent, pretending not to know, and slowly ate her food.

After delivering a beautiful toast, Mr. Wang, who was quite excited about his words, took the lead and drank his wine glass in one gulp.

His face was flushed.

Zhou Mochen listened to his loyal remarks with a blank expression, nodded slightly, did not touch the wine glass on the table, and only offered a few words of encouragement.

He waved to Wang Qiang, who was still standing, signaling him to sit down.

This is perfectly normal; no one would think it's wrong.

The fact that the Crown Prince was willing to listen to you and even offered a few words of encouragement shows he's already given you a lot of face.

Wang Qiang nodded and sat down, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the girl standing next to Zhou Mochen. He immediately feigned anger and said, "Lily, what are you standing there for? Young Master Zhou doesn't drink, so hurry up and change his glass and fill it with drinks."

The girl named Lily responded and hurriedly bent down to pick up the wine glass that Zhou Mochen had just filled.

"..." Xu Su looked at Lily, who seemed genuinely panicked or feigning it, and was somewhat speechless.

The bending motion brought the girl very close. Zhou Mochen quickly stood up and moved aside, his face suddenly darkening. "Wang Qiang, did I ask you to make these arrangements?"

Xu Su popped a slice of lotus root into her mouth, silently wondering if this 'arrangement' had any other meaning.

It must be more than just arranging drinks.

Only Xu Su had the nerve to keep eating at the entire table; everyone else remained silent.

In particular, Wang Qiang, who was singled out, stood up again, his face no longer flushed with excitement, but pale.
