The car was extremely quiet, and Chen Jinjun kept thinking about what to do if an emergency happened at the banquet.
Huo Tingyu was a little embarrassed. Based on his hearing, Chen Jinjun's trembling breathing seemed to be in his ears, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Is it still cold, Master?" he asked, breaking the silence in the car.
"It's not cold." Chen Jinjun simply answered him and continued to think about his own affairs.
Huo Tingyu quietly turned around and looked at Chen Jinjun's profile in the dim sunset.
"My boss seems to be very nervous." He saw Chen Jinjun pouting constantly.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "This is a Hongmen Banquet."
Huo Tingyu was very surprised by her statement: "How can I say this?"
"I have only been in Yongzhou for more than three months. I have not joined the Yongzhou Chamber of Commerce. Logically speaking, I am not qualified to participate in this banquet." Chen Jinjun looked out the window, "But an invitation was sent to me alone. I have to go.
.”
"My boss has great momentum. If it weren't for the fact that you are still within Ping Yan's filial piety period, I probably wouldn't have invited you to this year-end banquet."
"Is it just because of the filial piety period?" Chen Jinjun said meaningfully.
Huo Tingyu couldn't figure out what she was thinking. He never understood the intrigue among this group of people.
"The Marshal promised me before that he would be present at this banquet from beginning to end."
Chen Jinjun looked back at him. The winter sunset reflected fiery red spots on her face, which made Huo Tingyu feel nervous.
He quickly looked ahead and nodded: "Yes."
"I brought three shopkeepers with me just to prevent people with bad intentions." Chen Jinjun squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the sunset covered by clouds through the car window at Huo Tingyu's hand.
"I hope the commander-in-chief will take into account the cooperative relationship between you and me."
Huo Tingyu looked at her blankly.
Her eyes were burned red by the setting sun, and the dragon head embroidered with gold thread on her shoulders was also dyed red, just like...
Like a lonely king.
Huo Tingyu was amused by his own thoughts. He shook his head: "My boss is worrying too much."
Chen Jinjun smiled slightly, looked away at the door that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and murmured: "It's best that I worry too much."
The car slowly stopped under the long and wide stairs of the banquet hall. An attendant had already opened the door for Huo Tingyu. Huo Tingyu got out of the car and did not go up the stairs covered with long red carpets. Instead, he walked around in full view of the public.
On the other side of the car, Chen Jinjun raised his hand to open the door on Chen Jinjun's side.
But Chen Jinjun opened the car door faster.
On her feet she wore a pair of simple black Western-style high heels, and her cheongsam was slit up to her calf, revealing a delicate ankle.
She got off and stood still. The long cloak covered her lower legs, leaving only a bit of the dragon's tail exposed.
Huo Tingyu went up the stairs first, but Chen Jinjun did not follow him immediately.
Everyone recognizes Marshal Huo's military uniform.
Chen Dongjia was stopped outside to check the invitation.
"Can I come in?" Chen Jinjun looked down at the waiter who was pretending to check the information.
There were three shopkeepers standing beside her. What surprised Chen Jinjun was that Xu Fanming wore a hat and came to the banquet in Wu Jiang's place.
The waiter almost trembled invisibly, thinking to himself that the president was right to ask him to stop this Chen Dongjia more, but no one told him that this Chen Dongjia felt so oppressed.
Chen Jinjun's eyes fell on the waiter's head, making him unable to lift his head.
She knew in her heart that someone was going to give her a slap in the face.
Chen Jinjun was not in a hurry, and just looked at the waiter in front of him who was pretending to compare information.
After a long time, the waiter finally pretended to put away the gilded invitation and gave Chen Jinjun a sleeve flower.
"Welcome to Mr. Chen's family."
Chen Jinjun walked straight into the hall without even looking at the waiter.
In this situation, the president of the Yongzhou Chamber of Commerce is probably the only one who dares to stumble someone like this.
Chen Jinjun raised the corners of his mouth, smiling like a bright peony, but there was suppressed anger in his eyes.
Huo Tingyu arrived at the banquet venue and was directly invited to sit alone at a table nearby.
On this occasion, no one had the courage to be the first to talk to Huo Tingyu, and naturally no one sat at the same table with Huo Tingyu.
He just sat alone on the large seat and looked at the hall quietly.
After looking around, Chen Jinjun was nowhere to be seen, and he frowned almost invisible.
Where are people?
After waiting for a long time, the banquet scene became somewhat quiet, and Chen Jinjun arrived belatedly.
The temperature in the hall was not as low as outside, so Chen Jinjun put his cloak in Xu Fanming's hand.
Huo Tingyu felt that as soon as Chen Jinjun walked into the hall, the whole room became even quieter.
He propped up his chin, his eyes glued to Chen Jinjun along the brim of his military cap.
Too ostentatious.
He quickly glanced around again and happened to see Hu Yuan sitting in the corner looking at Chen Jinjun with a lustful look.
Huo Tingyu frowned even more tightly under his military cap.
He raised his hand to call to the adjutant: "Go and find out who that person is."
Chen Jinjun looked around the hall with his peripheral vision. It seemed that he didn't leave a place alone for himself, and even the waiter didn't arrange it. It seemed that he wanted her to be embarrassed standing in the middle of the hall alone.
In this case...
Chen Jinjun slowly raised his feet and walked forward step by step.
She walked to Huo Tingyu's seat and sat directly next to Huo Tingyu.
The hall became quieter, and even the usually noisy wine merchants lowered their voices.
Huo Tingyu understood something and smiled.
"My boss is very considerate, but are you afraid that if you sit with me, no one will come to discuss business with the Chen family?"
Chen Jinjun naturally crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa, smiling like a little fox: "If it is really the business I want to discuss, I will go and discuss it myself. The marshal is here as a doorman, so I can hide away."
.”
Huo Tingyu smiled and turned his face away, just in time to see her slightly translucent legs from the cold: "What are you doing outside for so long?"
"Someone wants to bully me." Chen Jinjun squinted his eyes and scanned the entire hall intentionally or unintentionally.
"I won't wear more clothes." Dressed like this, the beauty is beautiful, it is easy to cause trouble, and it also hurts myself.
Huo Tingyu cursed in his heart but did not dare to speak out.
Xu Fanming brought hot tea to Chen Jinjun to warm him up.
Chen Jinjun took it naturally, turned sideways, and asked him in a voice that only she and Xu Fanming could hear clearly: "Why are you here? Where is Wujiang?"
"Wu Jiang was afraid that his temper would cause trouble for you, so I happened to be here to find someone, so I changed with him."
Xu Fanming lowered his voice and leaned over to talk to her, while his eyes were searching for something in the hall.
Chen Jinjun nodded, and said to them in a normal voice: "If you want to meet anyone, you can go by yourself, don't worry about me, I will hide here with the commander."
The three of them looked at each other and went to go shopping with Xu Fanming to see if they could find the person Xu Fanming was looking for.
Xu Fanming is looking for people from the Lei family who are coming to the banquet this time. He doesn't know whether the Lei family is mainly Lei Yishan, Lei Yihai, or... Mr. Zhang.
He lowered his hat and looked at every position calmly.
And here, Huo Tingyu's adjutant has returned and whispered in Huo Tingyu's ear.
The third son of the Hu family, Hu Yuan?
Huo Tingyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He glanced at Hu Yuan and wrote it down.
The widow of Pingyan looked at him with that obscene look, and it seemed that he did not take his Huo family seriously.
Chen Jinjun noticed that Huo Tingyu glanced at Deji. He didn't know whether it was because Huo Tingyu knew Hu Yuan or because he had some relationship with Deji.
