Seeing that Zhou Yan's anger level was about to explode, Lei Ren hurriedly stood up and intervened: "Okay, okay, please stop making trouble, okay?"
"Thunder Blade, you bastard actually cheated!"
"Thunder Blade, you bastard actually cheated again!"
Zhou Yan and Ding Xiangru shouted at Lei Ren in unison, but Ding Xiangru's words contained the word "again".
Zhou Yan looked at Ding Xiangru and wondered: "Why did you say 'again'?"
Ding Xiangru pursed her lips towards Zhou Yan and snorted angrily: "You have to ask him about this!"
Zhou Yan turned around and stared at Lei Ren and asked, "How on earth did you get back?"
Lei Ren rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Hey, what do you mean? You made it look like it was real. I thought you were my girlfriend."
"Isn't it?" Zhou Yan and Ding Xiangru asked in unison.
Lei Ren said depressedly: "You can just play some games, but it won't make much sense if you continue like this. I have to attend a cocktail party, so I won't play with you."
"Hey, wait for me." Ding Xiangru made a provocative face at Zhou Yan, and then ran up after Lei Ren.
"Bastard!" Zhou Yan gritted her teeth angrily. If she hadn't been on official business and had to go back to the bureau immediately to deal with it, she would have chased after him.
…
"Yan Di, have you called Brother Lei?" Hou Yi walked out on high heels and asked Yan Di.
As the secretary of the Security Department, Yan Di is responsible for informing Lei Ren.
Yan Di said with a bitter face: "I've called more than ten times, but that guy hasn't answered the phone. It's really disgusting! Otherwise, you can't wait for him."
Hou Yi shook his head and said: "Forget about the other middle-level people, Brother Lei made a splash at the equity signing ceremony and has a close relationship with Mr. Liu of Xiangjiang International Investment Company. He must be the leading actor tonight. How could there be no reception without him?"
"
"Then I'll try again, but I can't guarantee that I can get through." Yan Di picked up the phone and said.
Hou Yi shook his head and said: "Forget it, Yan Di, give me your phone to try and I'll make a call."
"Oh." Yan Di obediently handed the phone to Hou Yi. She felt that she had not been able to get through after calling so many times, and it was naturally impossible for Hou Yi to get through.
However, I didn't expect Hou Yi to actually talk to the phone.
"You're already on the way, how many minutes do you have until you arrive?" Hou Yi asked excitedly, obviously knowing that he was lucky, "Oh, you still have five minutes! Then hurry up, I'll let Yan
Di is waiting for you outside. By the way, we have prepared a dress for you. I asked Yan Di to... you don't need it, you are already wearing a dress? Then... well, we will see you then."
Seeing Hou Yi hang up the phone, Yan Di couldn't wait to ask: "Hou Yi, what did that guy say?"
"Brother Lei said he would be here soon so we don't have to wait for him," Hou Yi said.
Yan Di asked: "What about the dress?"
"That's it! Mr. Shang was worried that Brother Lei didn't prepare a formal suit, so he prepared a tuxedo for him in advance, but I heard from Lei Ren that he already had a formal suit, so let us go in first and leave him alone." Hou Yi
said.
"Tch! How could that guy have a dress? I don't know what he would wear as a dress." Yan Di snorted displeased, "But since he said so, let's go in first. I'm too lazy to stand there
It’s here.”
Hou Yi shook his head helplessly, and could only nod his head and said: "Then let's go in first."
Hou Yi came to the hall inside and quickly found Shang Yueying among the crowd. He walked over and reported to Shang Yueying: "Mr. Shang."
"Excuse me." Shang Yueying nodded to the guest, followed Hou Yi to the door and asked, "Is that guy here?"
Hou Yi replied: "Mr. Shang, I just got in touch with Minister Lei. He is already on the way and will be at the venue soon."
"He likes to be late for everything." Shang Yueying muttered dissatisfiedly, suddenly thought of something, and said to Hou Yi, "Have you prepared the dress for him?"
Hou Yi added: "Minister Lei said that he has already changed into a formal dress and there is no need to prepare another formal dress for him."
"Huh, just based on his taste, his dress is definitely not good." The more Shang Yueying thought about it, the more worried he became, and told Hou Yi, "Let's go out to pick up that guy. No matter what, I have to persuade him to change into
."
"Oh." Hou Yi glanced at Shang Yueying secretly and followed Shang Yueying towards the door.
However, just as Shang Yueying walked to the door, Lei Ren and Ding Xiangru walked in, immediately becoming the focus of the venue.
Whether it is the black trench coat of Thunder Blade or the sky blue evening dress of Lilac Ru, they all look so dazzling under the bright lights. The two of them walked into the reception hall hand in hand, like a golden boy and a beautiful girl falling into the world for the first time. Shang Yueying looked at Shang Yueying.
I can't help but admire it secretly in my heart.
Based on Shang Yueying's understanding of Lei Ren, she certainly would not think that the shapes of Lei Ren and Ding Xiangru were designed by Lei Ren, either by paying professional masters to make them, or... by the woman next to Lei Ren.
Looking at Ding Xiangru's bright face, Shang Yueying couldn't help but read a provocative flavor in her body.
"The person who came here is evil!" Shang Yueying hummed silently.
Ding Xiangru gently held Shang Yueying's arm, with a thick smile on her face without any pretense.
She was really happy at this moment, because she had realized that her stunning appearance with Thunder Blade had given her a slight advantage in the battle with Shang Yueying.
"Women are born war criminals, and sometimes they can start a protracted war just for a look." Lei Ren thought of this famous saying and couldn't help but believe it. He felt that it was undoubtedly profound to describe the scene at this moment.
Shang Yueying naturally read a look of pride from Ding Xiangru, but her unwillingness to admit defeat allowed her to quickly recover from the defeat. She held her head high, regained her confidence, and walked towards Ding Xiangru as her master.
come over.
When their eyes met, Lei Ren seemed to see a crackling spark. He couldn't help but trembled, and took two steps back gently to avoid becoming a fish in the pond.
"You are Mr. Shang, Lei Ren's boss, right? Ding Xiangru, Lei Ren's friend." Ding Xiangru took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and looked at Shang Yueying like a winner.
Shang Yueying smiled nonchalantly and said: "Hello! Although I have never heard Lei Ren mention this name before, you are still welcome to attend tonight's cocktail party. Our Yunying company has always been very enthusiastic about our guests."
Ding Xiangru smiled and took back her hand, and said calmly: "Oh, it turns out that this is the name of Mr. Shang's company. I'm sorry, I am a bit ignorant. I have never heard of this company in the real estate industry before. I only know about Mr. Shang.
I’m in the brick and mortar business.”
Shang Yueying smiled and said: "Miss Ding is really humorous. I can't do a job that requires physical labor like laying bricks, haha."
"Haha!" Ding Xiangru also laughed.
Lei Ren, who was standing next to Ding Xiangru, heard the two women facing each other, and immediately decided to leave first. He clapped his hands and said, "I saw an old friend opposite, so I won't accompany you."
"It doesn't matter, you can go! Mr. Shang and I are very close to each other. I would like to treat Mr. Shang to a drink and have a casual chat." Ding Xiangru said with a smile.
When Lei Ren heard Ding Xiangru's words, he immediately trembled and turned to look at Shang Yueying.
Shang Yueying narrowed her eyes and said, "Miss Ding and I hit it off immediately, and I just want to have a good chat with you. Why don't we go sit over there and have a drink while chatting."
"I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Ding Xiangru nodded lightly and followed Shang Yueying towards the corner without even looking at Thunder Blade, as if she was completely ignoring it.
Lei Ren watched the two of them walking side by side towards the corner, and couldn't help but slap his forehead, as if it was even more frightening than seeing a lantern here.
"Lei Ren, is that your girlfriend?" Hou Yi pouted and walked over and asked Lei Ren.
"No, he's just an ordinary friend. Hearing that I was going to a cocktail party tonight, he kept clamoring to come to Qiufeng." Lei Ren explained casually.
"Hmph, it's weird to believe you! A woman who can afford to wear the international brand Montagnard would still care about this? I wouldn't believe it to death." Yan Di sniffed and said angrily.
Lei Ren smiled and said: "You don't understand how difficult it is to be a human being, don't you understand?"
Even though Shang Yueying and Ding Xiangru were sitting in the corner, they still attracted the attention of many people, but neither of them paid attention.
"There is no one else here except the two of us, so let's stop pretending." Shang Yueying said calmly.
Ding Xiangru drank a glass of sweet red wine, shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly: "I'm not pretending."
Lei Ren ignored Ding Xiangru's rebuttal and continued: "If I guessed correctly, you are the woman who called me to scold me."
"Didn't you expect that in the blink of an eye, she would be sitting in front of you, and you couldn't do anything to her, you could only look at her." Ding Xiangru hummed proudly.
Shang Yueying said calmly: "I won't argue with you, but I tell you, I will never give up on my people or things."
"Ha, Mr. Shang is really shameless! Lei Ren is obviously someone else's boyfriend, how come he became yours?" Ding Xiangru said sarcastically, "I've seen boring ones, I've seen speechless ones, but I haven't met any
I have never seen such a shameless person as Mr. Shang! Mr. Shang, are all business people as shameless as you? They like to tell lies with their eyes wide open, and they will talk about it until they see ghosts in the daytime."
Shang Yueying took a deep breath, tried hard to control her emotions, and asked Ding Xiangru hard: "I want to ask you, Miss, why do you want to interfere with me and Thunder Blade?"
"Thank you for having the nerve to ask me why. Is every mistress who gets involved so shameless?" Ding Xiangru said sarcastically.
Shang Yueying asked with a dark face: "Lei Ren is your boyfriend?"
"No!" Ding Xiangru denied, "But my friend's boyfriend."
Shang Yueying glanced at Ding Xiangru and said meaningfully: "Many people like to do things for themselves in the name of friends, and so do you."
