Chapter 1,677 The barking bark disrupts the dinner
Chapter 1680 The barking barking disrupts the meal
Binhai International Hotel! Second floor, stairwell.
Today's dinner was organized by Wu Jianshe, the eldest brother of the Scrap Steel Team, and Zhou Chen and Zhao Lei were also invited.
This is also the first time that Feng Yu brings his baby out to meet everyone. In the past, it was difficult to bring him out because he had a wife, but now he is divorced. He really loves his baby, so he wants to be with her.
He runs his own factory and brought her here just to let her see the world.
Now that everyone has not arrived and the banquet has not started, he is in the stairwell, giving Xie Jinbao serious instructions.
"Bao'er, listen to me, today's dinner is not an ordinary dinner. We are gathering together to discuss important matters, so you should be careful at the table later."
"There are a lot of people coming this time. Qiu Bi is just trying to save face. Just talk to him and give him enough face. Just give him whatever you say and praise him. You know that? Boss Wu is a real boss. You should be polite when you talk to him.
That Zhao Lei is not from the same group as us, so we just need to be polite."
"There are two more important things to pay attention to. One is Xu Banxia and the other is Zhou Chen. You have heard me talk about them and know what kind of relationship they had. Act according to circumstances and don't say the wrong thing. Alas, in fact, there is no such thing.
The two of them should be brought together, but what Boss Wu said makes sense. If you want to make things happen, Zhou Chen can play a big role."
Xie Jinbao asked in a low voice: "Then Zhou Chen is really that powerful? He doesn't want a woman as powerful as Xu Banxia, and he is with President Gao's daughter..."
"Shh, shh."
Feng Yu quickly interrupted her: "I told you not to ask, just wait and see when someone comes."
Just as he was giving instructions, Feng Yu suddenly saw a person coming up the stairs, and his face suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hey, Xiao Xu is here. I'm just waiting for you. Let me introduce you to him. This is our Bao'er."
"Bao'er, this is your sister Banxia."
Xie Jinbao said with a bright smile: "Sister Banxia, I always hear Brother Feng mention you to me. Today I can see you. You are indeed well-deserved."
"You know, Sister Banxia, you are my idol. I always tell Brother Feng that if I am half as good as you, I will be satisfied."
Xu Banxia glanced at her a few times and asked Feng Yu lukewarmly: "Brother Feng, you are your new sister-in-law."
Feng Yu said with a little embarrassment: "Look, I have to take her out to see the world, right? From now on, I have to let her run my factory with me. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask you for advice then."
."
After a brief introduction, he approached Xu Banxia again and whispered: "Xiao Xu, I came here to wait for you on purpose. You also know that in today's game, the people who come are not good. If they go in and they say something nonsense, you can't."
Don't be angry, just treat it as a favor to me, okay?"
Xu Banxia said indifferently: "That's what I said, why should I be angry? Let's go in."
"Hey, wait, there's one more thing."
Feng Yu grabbed Xu Banxia and said again: "In addition to us today, Boss Wu also called Zhao Lei and Zhou Chen."
Xu Banxia didn't react much when she heard Zhao Lei's name, but when she heard Zhou Chen's face, her expression suddenly changed and she frowned.
"Why did you ask him to come?"
"Mr. Wu yelled, but he hasn't arrived yet, so if you see him later, uh, you'll understand what I mean."
Xu Banxia said noncommittally: "I have nothing to do with him for a long time."
Feng Yu smiled after hearing this. He still knew Xu Banxia a little bit and knew that the relationship between Xu Banxia and Zhou Chen was very complicated. If Xu Banxia really let go, he would not have this attitude.
Xu Banxia walked into the box with Feng Yu, but to her surprise, she saw Guo Qidong, who had just been released from prison, and mocked him.
As soon as Zhou Chen walked into the box, he saw the lively scene, and his arrival also diverted everyone's attention.
"Mr. Zhou, you are finally here."
Among the few people, except for Xu Banxia, Feng Yu had more contact with Zhou Chen, and because of his good-natured character, he was the first to go up and greet him.
Wu Jianshe then greeted with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhou's visit really makes us shine."
Zhou Chen greeted Feng Yu, Wu Jianshe and Qiu Bizheng respectively. As for Guo Qidong, he simply ignored him.
"Mr. Zhao, long time no see."
Zhao Lei greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Zhou."
He had met Zhou Chen a few times, and they were not familiar with each other, but he was quite familiar with Xu Banxia. He even envied Zhou Chen because he had a good impression of Xu Banxia, but Xu Banxia only regarded him as a friend and business partner, and Zhou Chen was the only one in her heart.
Chen, even if they have been separated for a long time.
After saying hello to everyone else, Zhou Chen finally looked at Xu Banxia.
"Banxia..."
Xu Banxia shook her head, sat down directly next to Zhao Lei, and then said to Wu Jianshe: "Mr. Wu, since everyone is here, can we have a banquet?"
This scene was seen by everyone in the box. Everyone had different expressions. Their eyes turned back and forth on Zhou Chen and Xu Banxia, especially the only two women in the room. Xie Jinbao's eyes widened.
A face full of gossip.
Zhou Chen sat down next to Xu Banxia. Xu Banxia suddenly stood up and walked to the other side: "Brother Feng, let me change places with you."
"ah?"
Feng Yu looked confused. He looked at Xu Banxia who was walking next to him, then at Zhou Chen, and finally at Bao'er beside him. He wanted to separate them.
It was Zhao Lei who resolved the embarrassment in time, stood up and said, "Mr. Xu, let me switch with you."
Xu Banxia looked grateful: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhao."
After Zhao Lei sat down next to Zhou Chen, he showed an apologetic smile to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen smiled back. He would not hold grudges over such a trivial matter.
On the contrary, Xu Banxia's behavior made him feel very good. Such a reaction showed that Xu Banxia still cared about him, otherwise he would not have this attitude.
Whether it was the kiss that day or this reaction today, it showed that Xu Banxia had not passed at all.
Wu Jianshe, the host of the treat, saw this scene and quickly reconciled the situation.
"Now that everyone is here, it's time to start the banquet. First of all, I want to thank you all for your compliments. Well, I invite you all to come today. First, it's Xiao Guo who has overcome all the tribulations and come out."
"To be honest, it's better to resolve enemies than to end them. Let's take this opportunity to communicate and resolve them. Secondly, I would like to congratulate Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou and President Gao's daughter are in love with each other and their love is stronger than gold. They will get married and have a wedding in the future.
, but we must invite some of us old guys."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the box became a little weird again, and everyone looked at Zhou Chen and Xu Banxia with a vague look.
Xu Banxia had a calm look on her face and spread out the tablecloth mat, as if she didn't notice anyone else's gaze.
Zhou Chen also said calmly: "If I get married by then, I'm afraid Mr. Wu won't have time. I don't like to trouble people, so it's better not to bother me."
Wu Jianshe's expression suddenly froze. He didn't expect Zhou Chen to answer his simple polite words like this, so he could only laugh twice.
"No trouble, no trouble. Even if you don't have time, you still have to make time, right?"
After saying that, he stopped teasing, for fear that Zhou Chen would say something that would ruin the atmosphere again, and turned to look at Guo Qidong.
"Come on, Xiao Guo, express your position first."
Guo Qidong, who had shaved his hairstyle through labor reform, had a straight face and reluctantly filled his glass with wine, then stood up with the glass in hand, facing Xu Banxia's direction.
"Mr. Xu..."
Before the words were spoken, Xu Banxia said in a very shameless manner: "I won't drink today. I have to meet other friends later."
Guo Qidong said: "It's okay if you don't drink. Just listen. Brother Qiu didn't fall down while I was in there. I thank you. If it weren't for your scrap steel channel, he would have fallen down long ago. I did it."
He said this as if Qiubizheng would be useless without him. This sentence made several people change their expressions.
As the promoters of this dinner, Qiu Bizheng and Wu Jianshe wanted to resolve their grudges, so although they felt resentful, they didn't say anything.
Maybe Banxia doesn’t have so many worries.
"You mean, without you, Mr. Qiu's factory would be gone, right?"
Qiu Bizheng's expression froze, but he was also a veteran, and he immediately wanted to find someone to make up for Guo Qidong.
"That's not what he meant. He has been in there for too long and can't even speak when he comes out. His words are full of anger and thorns."
Then he lectured hypocritically: "A Dong, let me tell you, let the past go. The mistakes you made cannot be made again in the future."
Guo Qidong's tone was stiff: "I do have difficulties, but I admit my mistakes and will not make them again. Well, everyone is here today. There is one thing I especially want to say. Mr. Qiu and I never owe you a penny, let alone
It’s not delayed, right?”
As soon as Qiu Bizheng saw that something was wrong, he wanted to stop him, but Guo Qidong simply threw away his hand and continued.
"I want to speak clearly today. I answer both right and wrong. We all have to do business together in the future. I don't want to hide it. Mr. Xu, don't talk to me about that one million thing."
Forget it, don’t always think that I am adding insult to injury. Let me ask you boldly, why didn’t you tell Mr. Qiu about the bad things I did when I was lending you money and hoarding scrap steel?”
"Is what you did authentic?"
"Oh."
In this tense and awkward atmosphere, a sudden sneer sounded particularly clear. In an instant, everyone looked at Zhou Chen who made the sneer.
Qiu Bizheng and Wu Jianshe looked at each other, and Wu Jianshe asked: "Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?"
Zhou Chen said: "It's nothing, I just heard something funny. Mr. Qiu, your little brother is really interesting. I listened for a long time, but I didn't catch it. Is he apologizing, or making excuses or blaming?"
Qiu Bizheng also felt that what Guo Qidong said was not right, so he was quite embarrassed: "Xiao Guo has just come out and is very angry..."
He wanted to smooth things over for Guo Qidong, but the angry Guo Qidong didn't give him this chance at all.
"Mr. Zhou, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that it has been more than a year since you broke up with Mr. Xu. This is a grudge between me and Mr. Xu, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Zhou Chen looked at him with cold eyes: "Because I have mysophobia and I can't hear the barking of garbage dogs."
Being called a dog in person, Guo Qidong's already stiff face became even more ugly.
As Guo Qidong's boss, Qiu Bizheng also looked ugly at this time.
"Mr. Zhou, what you said is too unpleasant."
But Zhou Chen didn't give him any face, "Isn't this unpleasant? Today is the dinner hosted by Mr. Wu. If I don't give face to Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao, does a trash like him deserve to sit at the same table with me?"
Guo Qidong, who was humiliated again, was furious and glared at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen directly ignored his glare and said coldly: "Mr. Qiu, to be honest, I really can't understand. He made so much money behind your back, and he said those words just now. He obviously didn't let you go."
In my eyes, how on earth can you tolerate him? Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged college students are plentiful. Are you really so inseparable from him?"
"I have to say, Mr. Qiu, you have such a good temper. If you want to leave me here with a subordinate like this, not only will he break both of his legs, but you will also have to let him sit through the bottom of the cell."
This sentence was a bit harsh, and everyone who listened took a breath and looked at each other in confusion.
Qiu Bizheng didn't know what to say. He didn't really trust Guo Qidong, he just wanted Guo Qidong to make money for him. Without Guo Qidong, the efficiency of his factory would indeed be low.
As for finding someone else, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but he is suspicious by nature. He doesn't trust Guo Qidong, who has been with him for several years, and he naturally doesn't trust new people. With Guo Qidong as a precedent, he always feels that he will find someone else.
It's also a way of cheating him out of money.
Since they were all trying to cheat him out of money, it would be better to find someone as familiar as Guo Qidong, not to mention that Guo Qidong had been in prison and he felt that he could handle it better than others.
Guo Qidong suddenly said sarcastically: "It seems that Mr. Zhou really has an old relationship with Mr. Xu that he cannot forget. He is so eager to excuse Mr. Xu and sow discord between me and Brother Qiu."
Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "Are you worthy? Who do you think you are? You are greedy, greedy, and add insult to injury. To me, you are not even as good as the weeds on the roadside. If you hadn't been so pretentious, I wouldn't even have the interest to step on you."
No."
As the host, Wu Jianshe's face turned very ugly and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou, are you too humiliating?"
Zhou Chen sneered and said, "He asked for it. There's nothing he can do about it. I just have this temper. I drink less than a thousand glasses of wine with my close friends, and I don't talk much about it. Sitting at the same table with such rubbish, I really can't eat this meal."
If you don’t want to go down, in that case, Mr. Wu, thank you for the hospitality, I have something else to do, so I’ll take the first step.”
After saying that, he stood up directly, wiped his hands with a napkin, straightened his clothes, and was about to turn around and leave.
When Wu Jianshe saw Zhou Chen was leaving, he immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Zhou, wait a minute. We haven't eaten the food yet, haven't drunk the wine yet, and haven't talked about anything yet. Don't leave in a hurry."
Today's wine party is mainly to save Ergang's affairs. As Gao Yuejin's prospective son-in-law, Zhou Chen attaches great importance to him. How can he let Zhou Chen leave like this.
But Zhou Chen knew his purpose. Originally, he was not planning to talk to Wu Jianshe and the others about Provincial No. 2 Steel, and he didn’t want to talk about Provincial No. 2 Steel in front of so many people. After all, the auction of Provincial No. 2 Steel was about to begin, and he didn’t want to be left behind.
People's words can cause trouble for the future mother-in-law.
So this round of scolding was not only to help Xu Banxia vent his anger, but also to use this reason to leave.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, I really have something to do. Today's round is mine. I'll invite Mr. Wu and everyone else next time."
Without giving Wu Jianshe and the others a chance to stay, Zhou Chen walked quickly, turned around and left the box, leaving only a group of people in the box staring at each other.
This meal was really inexplicable. Even before the meal officially started, there was already a good show, and one person even left.
Wu Jianshe, Qiu Bizheng and Guo Qidong all had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. Feng Yu held Xie Jinbao's hand. They looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. Zhao Lei had a calm expression and did not react at all. No one was there.
Know what he is thinking.
As for Xu Banxia, after Zhou Chen left, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing a subtle smile, but she quickly returned to normal and became expressionless.
What Guo Qidong said just now really made her feel quite embarrassed, but Zhou Chen immediately turned the situation around for her with a few words of scolding, scolding Guo Qidong bloody, and even Qiu Bizheng was scolded.
She laughed a lot, which made her feel very happy.
Zhou Chen is still the same Zhou Chen and will still protect her.
