The car drove directly into the courtyard. In fact, there was really no need to make such a big display, because they all lived in the sa courtyard, just that so people lived further inside.
After getting out of the car, there was already soone there to greet them.
"You two, wait for . How can it be just the two of you together? Not bringing along?" Lu Chengmin called out to the two of them from behind.
The two stopped to wait for Lu Chengmin. "What are we waiting for you for? One car wouldn’t fit us all?"
"In that case, Xiao Su should have been with too."
"Don’t play gas. If it weren’t for your cunning, Xiao Su should be working with now. Don’t forget, Xiao Su has always been one of my people."
"Heh, how can you bla if your skills are inferior?"
Zeng Zhenqing ignored him, the three of them entered together, followed by their secretaries.
Shi Hong also ca out at this ti. As the hostess, she had put on quite a display.
"Welco. Welco. It’s truly an honor that the three of you could co and grace us with your presence."
In occasions like this, Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t speak. Besides, she really didn’t like Shi Hong, which made her even less willing to engage.
"Xiao Shi, if your dinner doesn’t have anything good, I won’t be coming again next ti," Lu Chengmin joked, as the other two had no intention of speaking.
"It’ll definitely satisfy you. Please, co in quickly. I’ve got so good stuff for you to try inside."
Su Yuanyuan and Zeng Zhenqing were at the back. She gently tugged on his sleeve. The keen-eyed Qin Zhiyuan, following behind, imdiately sharpened his senses. Xiao Su is never one to act without a reason. There must be sothing amiss she has noticed.
Chengzi and Qian Zhifeng exchanged a glance. They both beca tense.
As the group entered the living room, there were already quite a few people inside. Su Yuanyuan recognized them all, but there weren’t many she could really speak to. Liu Qingyuan noticed Su Yuanyuan entering. In his heart, he couldn’t help but admire her excellence.
Everyone stood up to talk to them, though they were of the sa level, the others had greater authority.
Everyone was thinking, their suspicions were indeed correct. The relationship between Su Yuanyuan and Zeng Zhenqing was genuinely good. Offending one would an offending the other.
With a smile on her face, Su Yuanyuan shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.
Liu Qingyuan shook hands with Su Yuanyuan as well. "Minister Su, as vibrant as ever."
"Minister Liu."
Su Yuanyuan already knew what thoughts were going through the minds of these people. However, as long as they didn’t provoke her, it had nothing to do with her.
When it ca to Li Changsheng, they shook hands too. Su Yuanyuan couldn’t help but wonder, what was this person thinking? Today, if he dared to make any move, she would utterly discredit him. There would be no guilt in dealing with soone who wronged her.
This gathering truly consisted of high-level figures. After greeting everyone, Su Yuanyuan sat in the corner. She wasn’t one for ostentation.
Chengzi and Qian Zhifeng sat right behind her. In fact, not many brought assistants or bodyguards. Bringing two like she did was unique to her.
However, she didn’t feel anything about it, and couldn’t care less about what others thought.
The appearance of Xu Guozhi caused everyone to gather around him.
Only Su Yuanyuan remained still, sitting in her original spot; there were too many people to squeeze in.
"Minister Su truly is a serene beauty."
Shi Hong’s voice wasn’t loud, but given the number of people in this living room, so still heard her words.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t move, rely nodded. She felt weary. She hated these kinds of events. Wouldn’t it be better to quietly read a book for a while?
Besides, aren’t they racing against the clock every day, working overti every day?
Shi Hong had a smile on her face. The more Su Yuanyuan acted like this, the better, because it allowed more people to see her as an arrogant woman, and made Shi Hong seem all the more approachable.
As Shi Hong brought up Su Yuanyuan, more people began to pay attention to her. Su Yuanyuan furrowed her brows. Was this really interesting?
Thinking about these things all day long. People indulging themselves with nothing better to do, while she hadn’t intended anything.’
At this ti, Lu Chengmin and Zeng Zhenqing ca over, both sitting next to Su Yuanyuan.
"What? Don’t like it?"
"I hate stuff like this the most. How much longer will it take? Maybe I should leave first?"
"Xiao Su, you’ve already co. At least finish your al before leaving. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?"
"I don’t want to eat." Although she said this, Su Yuanyuan still didn’t move. Dislike was one thing, but she would never allow anyone to slander her.
Just then, Xu Guozhi ca over with a broad smile.
"Xiao Su, hiding here?"
All three stood up, "Leader, I enjoy tranquility. There were too many people over there when you ca out, so I didn’t go over. My apologies."
"What are you saying? Don’t I know what kind of kid you are? Besides, everyone here today is your elder, even if there were any shortcomings on your part, no one would mind."
This made everyone’s hearts skip a beat, was this protection? Everyone understood though. After all, Su Yuanyuan had saved the leader’s life. Such protection wasn’t out of line. But this did set her up for a face-off with Shi Hong.
Everyone knew Shi Hong’s thoughts; if you were an idiot, you wouldn’t have co this far. Letting Su Yuanyuan sha Shi Hong right now showed that Minister Su shouldn’t be crossed.
Lu Chengmin laughed, "Indeed, Xiao Su is young, like a child of mine in my heart."
Zeng Zhenqing also laughed, "I watched Xiao Su grow up; she’s like a child to ."
Shi Hong was extrely unwilling, hating Su Yuanyuan even more. It was because she had backing that she dared to arrest Shi Hong’s brother, right? No matter, if she didn’t bring this woman to ruin today, how would she conduct herself in the future?
She hadn’t intended this initially, but they left her no choice; she couldn’t be blad for being ruthless.
Su Yuanyuan had been listening to Shi Hong’s inner thoughts all along, curling her lips in a mocking smile. Let’s see who ends up ruined?
Doesn’t she care about her status? What if she loses it? Heh heh, truly looking forward to it.
"Minister Su is certainly capable. After all, she’s young."
At this ti, a man handed Shi Hong a glass of water. It was well known that Su Yuanyuan drank only water and nothing else.
"Xiao Su, have a glass of water."
Everyone thought in their hearts, was Shi Hong admitting defeat? Trying to make peace with Su Yuanyuan? Otherwise, why offer her water in person? To them, this was Shi Hong backing down.
