374 Attending a Dinner Party; Meeting an Acquaintance! (2)
…
The Qingting Hotel was a rather famous hotel in the capital.
The decorations here were high-end, and the dishes were delicious. They were popular among many people.
At this moment, men with big beer bellies walked into Room 6 one after another.
“CEO Liu, CEO Zhao, wele, wele!” The bald Wang Zhi laughed heartily.
Then, he shouted excitedly, “Oh! CEO Feng, wele, a warm wele!”
“CEO Wang, you’re too polite.” Feng Jiaqi waved his hand.
“How is that polite?” Wang Zhi said. “I’m happy and excited!”
“CEO Feng, please take a seat!”
“Since CEO Wang is inviting me, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Then, Wang Zhi arranged for CEO Liu and CEO Zhao to sit down.
The few of them sat and talked, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
At this moment, Feng Jiaqi looked at the door and asked, “Is everyone here?”
How could Wang Zhi not understand what CEO Feng meant?
Was he asking if Xu Jingrou was arriving soon?
He smiled. “Soon. They’re already on the way. Let’s get the waiter to serve the dishes first.”
Feng Jiaqi nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Wang Zhi pressed the service button on the table.
After a while, a tall and thin male waiter walked in and asked respectfully, “What can I do for you?”
“The dishes can be served now,” said Wang Zhi.
“Alright, please wait a moment,” the waiter said.
As soon as the waiter left, footsteps sounded in the corridor again.
Then, Sister Qin, Xu Jingrou, and Lin Fan walked into the private room.
Wang Zhi saw his reaction and said, “You’re finally here! We’ve been waiting for a while!”
“Li Qin, sit next to CEO Zhao. Your task today is to serve CEO Zhao well!”
“Xu Jingrou, sit next to CEO Feng. Your task today is to take good care of CEO Feng!”
At this point, Wang Zhi turned to the bald man beside him and said, “My mission is to take good care of you, CEO Liu!”
“Haha!” CEO Liu laughed. “Then you have to drink a few more glasses with me later!”
The atmosphere in the private room was quite lively.
However…
Lin Fan looked at Wang Zhi and said, “I’m afraid that Jingrou can’t take care of CEO Feng. She has to acpany me for dinner.”
Wang Zhi frowned slightly.
It was only then that he seemed to notice that there was an unfamiliar young man in the private room.
“And you are?” he asked.
“I’m Lin Fan, Jingrou’s boyfriend,” Lin Fan said casually.
As soon as he said this…
The originally lively private room immediately fell silent.
Feng Jiaqi looked down and saw Xu Jingrou holding Lin Fan’s hand.
His expression immediately turned ugly.
Wang Zhi did not expect such a thing to happen. When he saw the change in Feng Jiaqi’s expression, his heart tightened.
“Xu Jingrou, when did you get a boyfriend? Didn’t you say you were single a while ago?”
It had to be said that Wang Zhi was indeed capable to bee the CEO of a pany.
He had told Feng Jiaqi that Xu Jingrou was single.
This sentence…
Firstly, it was to point out the authenticity of his information.
Secondly, he could help Feng Jiaqi investigate the authenticity of this so-called boyfriend.
Thirdly, it was to create a barrier between Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou.
Xu Jingrou stuttered, “M-Maybe you remembered wrongly, CEO Wang.”
She was also a veteran in the workplace.
If it were a normal question, Xu Jingrou would not have stuttered like this.
However, now that the word ‘boyfriend’ was brought up, the situation felt pletely different.
Xu Jingrou felt the warmth from Lin Fan’s fingers and the masculine aura from him. She could not control herself anymore.
Everyone looked at Xu Jingrou’s nervous expression.
They all had guesses in their hearts.
Feng Jiaqi’s expression changed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, the waiters brought in exquisite and gorgeous delicacies one after another.
As the delicacies were brought in, an alluring fragrance filled the room, stimulating one’s appetite.
CEO Wang personally poured a glass of wine for everyone and said cheerfully, “Today, I’m very happy to be able to invite so many CEOs to have a meal together.”
“Thank you, CEO Feng, CEO Liu, and CEO Zhao for ing. I’ll give a toast!”
After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room improved a little.
The people in the private room were either chatting or toasting each other…
Sister Qin was chatting and laughing, and she would give a toast from time to time.
Xu Jingrou sat quietly at the side and ate her food.
Lin Fan felt that she was being ignored. He picked up his wine glass and said, “Jingrou, shall we have a drink?”
Drink?
Xu Jingrou could not help but think of the night when she drank a little too.
Thus, the scene from that night flooded her mind again.
Even though she had not drunk yet, her pretty face was already flushed red.
After a while, Xu Jingrou noticed that Lin Fan was still holding his wine glass.
“My alcohol tolerance isn’t good, so I’ll just take a small sip.”
“Alright,” said Lin Fan.
The two of them clinked their wine glasses lightly, making a crisp sound. Lin Fan drank it all in one gulp.
Xu Jingrou did as she said and only took a small sip.
Feng Jiaqi, who was sitting in the main seat, narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
However, before he could say anything, CEO Zhao raised his glass at him and said, “CEO Feng, let me propose a toast to you. I wish Hengxin pany a better future!”
“Alright, cheers!” Feng Jiaqi said.
After a while, CEO Liu also raised his glass and said, “CEO Feng, let me toast to you too. I wish Hengxin pany a smooth journey on the road to an IPO!”
“Thank you for your kind words, CEO Liu.” Feng Jiaqi smiled.
Then, he said, “However, don’t keep drinking with me. You can’t neglect the two beauties!”
As he spoke, Feng Jiaqi picked up his wine glass and said to Xu Jingrou, “Ms. Xu, let’s have a drink. How about it?”
Xu Jingrou hesitated.
Just as she had said earlier, her alcohol tolerance was indeed not good.
Lin Fan said, “I’m sorry. Jingrou’s alcohol tolerance isn’t good. If you want to drink, I can drink with you on her behalf.”
Feng Jiaqi’s face darkened slightly, but he smiled and said, “Is that so? Your boyfriend knows how to protect you. Not bad!”
In the private room, they started chatting, drinking, and eating again.
Earlier, Lin Fan had been strolling around the capital but he had not gone to the bathroom.
Now, after drinking some wine and some soup, he finally felt the urge.
Even though Lin Fan’s physique was not something ordinary people could pare to, he could not avoid the three emergencies of ordinary people.
Lin Fan informed Xu Jingrou and walked toward the bathroom.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he met a young man of medium build who looked somewhat imposing.
Originally, the young man had been walking with his head raised, looking high and mighty.
However, when he saw Lin Fan, his body froze and he lowered his head.
Then, in an extremely respectful tone, he said, “M-Mr. Lin.”
Lin Fan sized up the man and asked, “Are you from the Zhou family?”
The young man did not expect Lin Fan to remember him. He nodded excitedly and said, “Yes, yes. My name is Qiu Kai, the son of the brother-in-law of Zhou Shihong, the second master of the Zhou family.”
Back then, when Old Master Zhou was critically ill, Qiu Kai was not qualified to visit him immediately.
However, after Old Master Zhou passed the critical period, Qiu Kai and his father went to the Zhou family.
It was also during that visit to the Zhou family that Qiu Kai saw the young man who cured the old man of the Zhou family from afar… Lin Fan.
During the family meeting, Old Master Zhou publicly stated that no matter who it was, when they saw Lin Fan, they had to treat him with the same respect!
Later on, when Lin Fan’s grandfather celebrated his birthday, Old Master Zhou even went to Jiang Province’s Qing City!
All of this showed how important Lin Fan was to Old Master Zhou and how high his position in the Zhou family was.
