Qiao Beifeng arrived at the Kaiyue Hotel with Qiao Gu and Qiao Donglai.
Originally, they could arrive at 11:30, but they encountered a traffic accident on the road and were delayed by traffic jam for nearly half an hour.
For this reason, when they arrived at the hotel parking lot, Qiao Gu asked Qiao Beifeng to go to the box first to see if Fang Lan, Chen Ye, mother and son were there.
When Qiao Beifeng arrived at the restaurant, he heard that the guests had arrived and rushed to the private room. However, he was dumbfounded as soon as he walked in!
Because, according to what he learned from Qiao Donglai, today's dinner was mainly to celebrate Fang Lan's birthday.
Apart from Fang Lan, Chen Ye and his son, the only people attending the dinner were him, Qiao Gu, Qiao Donglai, Huang Yongqing and his wife, and Zhu Yeqing.
At this moment, the box was full of people!
While Qiao Beifeng was stunned, both the Qin family, headed by Qin Shoujiu, and the guests present stood up immediately as if they had been stabbed in the butt by a needle!
Although Qiao Beifeng is just a dude, he is the dude of the Qiao family, and he is very likely to come on behalf of the Qiao family today!
How dare they sit and greet Qiao Beifeng?
Seeing this, Qiao Beifeng came to his senses and asked the restaurant manager:
"Is this Jiangnan Hall?"
"Yes, Master Qiao."
Restaurant Manager Xu nodded subconsciously.
Qiao Beifeng was a little confused and looked for Chen Ye in the dining area. He saw Qin Miaoyan, and then saw a figure whose back looked a bit like Chen Ye.
This discovery made him feel moved, and he walked towards the dining area again.
Wow!
At the same time, there was a sound of chairs moving in the dining area.
The Qin family members, headed by Qin Shoujiu, excitedly pulled out their chairs and faced Qiao Beifeng, as if they had been given blood.
That's right...
It's exciting!
Originally, after they learned that Qin Miaoyan was unwilling to invite Qiao Beifeng, they never thought that Qiao Beifeng would come.
Qin Boli mentioned Qiao Beifeng to Qin Miaoyan in public before, just to show off and show off, using the bluff of Thirty-Six Strategies!
At this moment, Qiao Beifeng is here!
Moreover, Qiao Beifeng also brought gifts!
This...how could they not be excited?!
Chen Ye heard Qiao Beifeng's voice and saw the Qin family's actions, but did not stop him. He just leaned over and accompanied his mother to pick up the money that fell on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhong Qin, Qin Miaoyan and her daughter did not go with Qin Shoujiu and others, but also helped Fang Lan and Chen Ye pick up the money.
However, while Qin Miaoyan was picking it up, she looked at Qiao Beifeng through the gap in the crowd, fearing that Qiao Beifeng would leave - she wanted to take advantage of today's meeting to ask Qiao Beifeng what was going on!
Soon, Qin Shoujiu led everyone to meet Qiao Beifeng in the area separated from the rest area and dining area.
"Beifeng, come as soon as you come, why don't you bring any gifts? This is too polite!"
Qin Shoujiu was the first to speak, using the term elders addressed to juniors, with a bright smile on his face!
"Master Qiao!"
The guests behind the Qin family also greeted Qiao Beifeng with smiles on their faces.
This was in stark contrast to when Fang Lan, Chen Ye, mother and son came to the box!
Um?
Qiao Beifeng was in a hurry to find out whether the figure on the back was Chen Ye, but he was stopped by Qin Shoujiu's group of people, who also greeted him cordially, and was a little confused for a moment.
He was not sure what the relationship between Qin Shoujiu and others had with Chen Ye, so he did not respond, but said:
"Please give way."
"Well……"
Hearing Qiao Beifeng's words, the guests behind the Qin family were stunned!
Didn't Qiao Beifeng come to wish Qin Shoujiu a happy birthday?
Why does it look like you don't know Qin Shoujiu?
The Qin family was also a little confused. Did Qiao Beifeng never see Qin Shoujiu's photo before he came?
Qin Shoujiu reacted quickly. He subjectively believed that Qiao Beifeng had never seen him and did not know his identity, so he wanted to speak again.
However--
Before Qin Shoujiu could speak again, Qiao Beifeng passed him by and walked through the crowd.
then……
His steps stopped abruptly!
Because, he clearly saw that Chen Ye, Fang Lan, Zhong Qin, and Qin Miaoyan were bending down to pick up the money scattered on the ground. Some of the money had Qin Hongwei's footprints on it.
This discovery once again confused Qiao Beifeng: How could I pick up money on the ground?
There is no answer.
Immediately, Qiao Beifeng had no time to reveal the doubts in his heart, and walked toward Chen Ye with an uneasy look on his face, like a primary school student who made a mistake confessing his mistake to the teacher.
One step, two steps, three steps...
After five steps.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qiao Beifeng stopped in front of Chen Ye, lowered his head and admitted his mistake:
"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm late!"
what's the situation?
In an instant, the box became quiet.
The guests in the box all had their eyes widened and were stunned to the spot!
Because the news of Qiao Yunfan's visit to Qin Shoujiu and the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement between Qiao Group and Wynn Group spread throughout the Jiangzhou business community.
Therefore, they had no doubt that Qiao Beifeng had booked a box for Qin Shoujiu.
They had no doubt that Qiao Beifeng was carrying gifts to wish Qin Shoujiu a happy birthday.
Moreover, they all judged that the relationship between Qiao Beifeng and Qin Miaoyan was extraordinary!
However--
After Qiao Beifeng entered the box, he ignored everyone in the Qin family, even Qin Miaoyan, and walked straight to Chen Ye, who was wearing cheap clothes, and apologized to Chen Ye...
How could this not shock them?
Even they are like this, let alone the Qin family headed by Qin Shoujiu?
this moment.
They all looked at Qiao Beifeng with astonishing expressions on their faces, feeling like they were hallucinating!
Otherwise, how could Qiao Beifeng know Chen Ye and apologize to Chen Ye for being late?!
Hallucination?
Fang Lan, Zhong Qin, and Qin Miaoyan, who were bending down to pick up money, suddenly froze and looked at Chen Ye in unison.
Among them, Zhongqin looked like a two-foot-old monk who was confused, while Fang Lan knew the relationship between Chen Ye and the Qiao family, and after thinking about the birthday celebration, she vaguely understood something.
Qin Miaoyan had an unbelievable thought in her mind: Could it be that everything Qiao Beifeng did for her was because of Chen Ye?
"Qiao Beifeng, it's okay for you to be late. However, after my mother and I entered the box, we were chased out like dogs. Some people even recklessly threw away the gift money my mother gave us because they thought they were too suspicious of me.
Shameful."
Chen Ye didn't even raise his head and continued to pick up money one after another.
His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding in the box!
Swish, swish, swish...
To be continued...
