Halfway through the meeting, Si Bo Nian came out to answer the phone. There was a group of senior executives waiting inside.
He didn't rush in and stood in front of the window looking at the rooftops of the city.
Is it wise to involve Lu Enxi in this fight?
Can she cope with the twists and turns behind her?
After he admitted that he was selfish and made his feelings for her clear, he subconsciously wanted to tie Lu Enxi to him, share weal and woe with her, and make her every decision and every action closely linked to him.
Si Bo Nian never denied possessiveness. He must exclusively possess the person he identified.
Now that they have taken this step, they will move forward. As for what is waiting for them ahead, they just want to kill Buddhas when they encounter them, and defeat demons when they encounter them.
Lin Xiuchen didn't wait for the CEO, so he had to come over to look for someone. Seeing the tall and thoughtful figure, he intuitively knew that the caller just now was Lu Enxi, "President."
Si Boyian said, "She will also go to the banquet tomorrow night."
Lin Xiuchen's heart was pounding, but she didn't dare to question the president's decision, "It seems that the vice president and Master Sinan will be present. Besides, Lawyer Lu's identity will make things difficult for him, will he?"
Bankruptcy, the old man's abuse, can she bear it?
Si Bo Nian said, "Then let's see who has added insult to injury and deal with them one by one."
Lin Xiuchen completely understood that even if he is as wise as a CEO, he will do crazy things once he is involved in love. However, such a willful side of the CEO is inexplicably touching and humane. "Okay CEO, I understand."
In addition, Si Boyian also thought of another thing.
What would the fish cakes that he was unable to eat taste like?
In the afternoon, Lu Enxi contacted Duan Xiaowei.
"Enxi, I received a call from my father. He has come out safely. Thank you." Duan Xiaowei's tone was filled with unconcealable joy, which was completely different from the ruthlessness of her previous betrayal.
Lu Enxi thought about it, Duan Xiaowei is very malleable, and her quick thinking is a double-edged sword. It can be used by her, or it can be a sharp weapon to stab her, depending on how she grasps it.
“Have you been to Blue Star Club?”
Duan Xiaowei said distressedly, "Blue Star is a membership system and strictly checks people who come in and out. I haven't thought of a way to get in."
Lu Enxi said, "There is a cocktail party in Shangri-La tomorrow night. Jia Yanqing will definitely attend. I will get you an invitation letter."
Duan Xiaowei's eyes were sharp, as if the seal of a pearl that had been covered in dust for a long time had been torn open.
In the past three years, she has gone from being the envied young lady of countless people to being a helper in a small restaurant. Her level has dropped by hundreds of levels. The appearance of her face at a high-end business cocktail party is like a lifetime ago.
"But I don't have a suitable dress."
Lu Enxi said, "I'll prepare a set for you. You should take good care of it and return it when it's over."
The dress for such an occasion should not be too inferior. A set of outfits costs hundreds of thousands. Lu Enxi does not have that much budget, so she can only rent one.
Duan Xiaowei said sourly, "You don't have one? Wouldn't it be nice to give me a set that I have worn?"
He actually asked her to return it? How could she have the courage to mess with Jia Yanqing when she was so down and out?
Lu Enxi turned a deaf ear to her sarcasm, "You can only wear a dress once. If you wear something I have used, you will only be laughed at."
Duan Xiaowei was sad and aggrieved. In the past, the dresses she wore for banquets were all high-end custom-made limited editions!
Lu Enxi needs two sets of dresses, which cost at least 300,000 yuan in total. Where can she get them?
After thinking about it for a while, I had to call my former designer Christine.
Christine wondered, "Dear lucky queen, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really unlucky. The dresses I have that fit your size are not in the store. There is a business event tomorrow, and there is a film festival in Haicheng the day after tomorrow.
Events and haute couture are all booked..."
Lu Enxi said, "Not even one?"
Someone was talking to Kristine. There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then he came back with a smile, "I remembered, there is one item that I missed because my waist was too thin, your size."
Borrowing one was already a big expense, so Lu Enxi couldn't say anything more, "Okay, I'll thank you later."
It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude, but you have to pay back what's due.
As for the second thing, she could only ask Qiao Fei for help. Fortunately, Qiao Fei and Duan Xiaowei had similar figures.
Qiao Fei said simply, "You know the password of my house, you can just take it from the cloakroom."
Lu Enxi kissed her through the phone, "I love you, baby!"
To prevent accidents, Lu Enxi drove to Qiao Fei's house to pick out clothes at night.
After excluding a few of her favorites, there is also a one-shoulder dress with a large skirt that has a good sense of design and is niche, which fits Duan Xiaowei's style quite well.
I also found a few inconspicuous and exquisite accessories. If they match well, they will definitely look good.
Duan Xiaowei was holding the dress bag, smiling on her face, but she kept sighing in her heart, "Sorry to trouble you, I will take good care of it."
Lu Enxi knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression, "I am indeed not as wealthy as before. If you think there is no future with me, you can just find a better backer for yourself, as long as you are used as cannon fodder."
Only when we are on an equal footing can we talk about cooperation, otherwise it is just wishful thinking.
Duan Xiaowei pretended not to understand, "What are you talking about? Enxi, we are a family and we must advance and retreat together."
The reception scene.
On the rooftop terrace of Shangri-La, neon lights flash, as bright as billions of diamonds.
The dozen-story champagne tower is filled with the rich aroma of wine and looks like a noble crown under the French crystal lamp.
Elites from all walks of life gather in the thousand-square-meter lobby, many of whom have appeared on the covers of financial magazines or been interviewed by television stations.
With such fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, the words are compliments and polite, but the secrets are cold and hidden. The beautiful scenery created by the prosperous age is just a cheongsam on the surface of glitz.
Jia Yanqing put her hands in her trouser pockets and glanced at the guests with her peripheral vision, feeling bored.
A place without Si Bo Nian would be almost useless.
It just so happens that he has an unwritten rule not to attend events.
We haven't met each other since we broke up last time, and I don't know if the guy's anger has gone away.
"Master Jia."
Dai Yutong filled the wine glass, and the swaying red liquid was rich and fragrant.
Jia Yanqing raised her eyebrows sideways, and at a glance she could see her unobstructed figure. Her style today was pretty cool, so pretty that she was about to be separated from her, but her clothes were really pretty, "Oh, she looks pretty today."
Dai Yutong tilted his head, held up the hem of his skirt and bent down to make an elegant curtain call, "So, will you be rejected if you invite Mr. Jia to dance?"
Jia Yanqing did not bring a female companion tonight. Those women are too boring and boring. Although Dai Yutong is not a good choice, it is not impossible to make do with it. "Miss Dai's invitation is disrespectful."
Dai Yutong smiled and said, "It seems that we are suitable for long-term cooperation."
Jia Yanqing leaned against the wine cabinet and asked casually, "Really? What's the reason?"
Dai Yutong said, "You may not want to see me, and to be honest, I don't like you that much, but we have a common enemy. Is this reason enough?"
Jia Yanqing looked down on the Dai family before, and still looks down on him now, but Si Bo Nian's attitude towards Lu Enxi was too clear. Even if he knew all the truth, he would not break up with her easily. A man who falls into a love trap is really
ridiculous.
The more this happens, the more he wants to reveal Lu Enxi's true face and make it impossible for her to stay in Luo City.
Dai Yutong is a bit stupid, but he is still a useful tool.
Jia Yanqing tilted the wine glass and touched hers, "She looks pretty today."
Dai Yutong curled his lips, and then heard a commotion coming from the hall, "She's here."
Jia Yanqing removed the wine glass and looked into the crowd, "Who?"
Dai Yutong smiled half-heartedly, "Of course he is our common enemy."
