After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Fu Cheng: I don't believe you for a second!

He knows his friend too well; all that talk is just a pretext to avoid socializing and find a partner.

Fu Cheng glanced at the time, then stood up. "Let's go."

"Go? Where?"

He Ze quickly realized what was happening, "Let's go, let's go!"

With Lao Fu's departure, the nature of his attendance at the party changed from work-related socializing to personal enjoyment, and he immediately felt much more relaxed.

While Fu Cheng and He Ze were on their way, Lu Shiyi and the others had already arrived.

The reception was held at the famous seven-star hotel in Nanshi, the Nancheng Hotel.

Lu Shiyi had only heard of it before, but had never actually gone in to spend money. Tang Yiran, on the other hand, had been there a few times with her parents.

It is said that the delicacies inside are absolutely superb, which is the main reason why Lu Shiyi agreed to come to the party with her best friend. Eating is one thing, but she also wants to savor and study what makes these high-class dishes so high-class.

Upon arriving at the banquet entrance, Tang Yiran handed over the invitation for inspection. After the staff carefully checked it, they politely invited the two of them inside.

This invitation was obtained by her parents after much effort through connections. Those who could attend were the top elites in Nanshi, so it was normal for the staff to check it carefully.

Once inside, Lu Shiyi immediately felt that it was almost identical to the high-class banquet scenes of the wealthy that she often saw in TV dramas, and even more luxurious.

In small groups of two or three, there were elegantly dressed noblewomen, bejeweled young ladies, and shrewd and capable successful men. They all moved with ease and efficiency among the wealthy and powerful, exchanging greetings and pleasantries. Perhaps unintentionally, they would close a deal or even get married.

Only Lu Shiyi and her friend went straight to the food area as soon as they entered, picked out some delicious food, and found a quiet place to enjoy their meal.

Actually, all the food was delicious, and we could always go back and order more after we finished eating.

Lu Shiyi sat down with her plate in hand and teased her best friend, "Tang Tang, didn't you say you couldn't eat much? Why did you take so much? Did you carry it for me?"

Tang Yiran glanced at her friend with a haughty look, "I only picked a little bit of everything, not a bit more. Besides, I don't know any of the ladies, gentlemen, or ladies here. So why worry about appearances? Let's eat our fill first."

Lu Shiyi laughed and said, "If you want to eat, your stomach needs to be big enough, and your dress doesn't allow it."

Tang Yiran waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's okay, my dress is stretchy."

"puff……"

Lu Shiyi was lucky to have just swallowed the food in her mouth, otherwise she would have definitely spat it out.

She laughed heartily, her big eyes curving into crescent moons. "If Auntie knew you were like this, she would definitely regret letting you change into a dress, hahaha."

She could already picture her best friend looking after she had eaten her fill.

While eating, Tang Yiran said seriously, "It's not that bad. I didn't intend to push the elasticity of this dress to its limits. Besides, we're already here. We're not going to socialize. If we don't eat anything, are we just going to sit here and stare blankly?"

“No, you can watch me eat,” Lu Shiyi said smugly.

"Hmph, Lu Shiyi, you heartless old man, I won't be including you next time there's good food."

"You begged me to come here!"

"Waaaaah... Someone please teach this monster Lu Shiyi a lesson..."

……

Just as the two were enjoying their meal and playfully bickering, a commotion broke out at the door.

Instantly, the men and women at the banquet all headed towards the door.

Tang Yiran ate while glancing towards the door. "What's going on? Who's here? Such a grand entrance, is everyone rushing to greet them?"

Lu Shiyi also glanced at the entrance. Because it was quite far away, all he could see was a dark mass of people, like a large-scale fan meeting.

"Who knows? Probably some big shot in Nanshi."

After exchanging a few words, the two continued eating, since it didn't concern them anyway.

Everyone rushed to the door to say hello, which made the two of them feel more at ease while eating.

As soon as Fu Cheng entered the banquet hall, he was surrounded by people. Some CEOs even knew that Fu Cheng would be attending and specially waited at the door.

Seeing this, the bodyguards had no choice but to create a human wall to protect Fu Cheng in the middle.

He Ze, who was standing to the side, took the opportunity to slip away.

This is why he got angry when Fu Cheng said he wouldn't participate.

If Fu Cheng doesn't come, then he will be Fu Cheng's representative, the representative of the Fu Group, and he will be the one surrounded.

While the scale might not be as extravagant, it certainly won't be much better.

Fu Cheng seemed to be used to this kind of occasion, his cold and handsome face showing no change in expression.

He politely nodded in response to those who came to greet him.

After entering the banquet, Fu Cheng, guided by the host of the event and an important partner of the Fu Group, took his seat and began chatting with several familiar CEOs.

The other people at the banquet were positioned around him, hoping to get a chance to say a few words to President Fu.

Among them were many wealthy ladies and heiresses.

Everyone says that President Fu is tall and handsome but not interested in women, but they think that they or their daughters might be an exception. If they have the chance to get to know President Fu, even just once, they might win his favor. If they're lucky, they might even become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family...

At this moment, He Ze, who deliberately avoided the crowd, leisurely walked to the food area alone with a wine glass in hand.

Who would come to a banquet of this caliber just for food and drink, especially with Fu Cheng, that big magnet, around? So the food area was practically deserted.

He Ze is now living a carefree and leisurely life, eating and drinking without being disturbed.

Not far behind him, two other people were engrossed in eating.

Actually, Lu Shiyi and her friend had almost finished their main meal and were now on dessert.

Tang Yiran picked up the small cake and was about to eat it when she received a WeChat message.

She glanced at it casually, then her expression turned serious. "Oh no, my mom's checking up on me."

"Checking up on me?" Lu Shiyi asked in confusion, "They can check up on you like that?"

"She said she didn't quite believe I would obediently listen to her, and that she needed to have evidence to prove it, otherwise she would arrange a blind date for me tomorrow."

Tang Yiran knew her parents had gone to so much trouble to get the invitations, and they certainly didn't want their efforts to be in vain, but...

She gazed wistfully into the distance, "How can I prove this with pictures?"

Suddenly, a lone man came into view in the food court.

In an instant, she had an idea.

Tang Yiran leaned closer to Lu Shiyi and whispered a few words, then gave him a look that said, "You know what I mean."

Lu Shiyi followed her friend's gaze and saw the man next to the food stall.

"Is this alright?" Lu Shiyi frowned slightly.

"Never mind, let's deal with this first."

After saying that, Tang Yiran got up and walked towards the exhibition booth.

She had just taken a step when she turned back to give instructions to Lu Shiyi.

"Remember to only take pictures of my back, don't take pictures of my stomach..."
