Chapter 88: She was the protagonist at the wine party

  At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang. He lowered his head to see that it was a call from Lu Qinghuan. A wave of inexplicable annoyance, for a moment wanting to hang up the phone, but suddenly felt that something was not right.

  What's wrong with him? He always mentions Gu Yu, and subconsciously feels that it shouldn't be like this.

  But she went to hang out with Xiao Ye instead, why can't he just meet a friend?

  Besides, he behaves properly and sits upright, he hasn't even touched Lu Qinghuan more than once or twice, how can they become friends at all?

  Xiao Qian looked at the flashing name and finally picked up the phone.

  On the phone, Lu Qinghuan said excitedly, "Xiao Qian, you haven't replied to me yet. Are you coming or not? There will be many celebrities attending the banquet, and there are also many business elites participating in the dinner party. Don't you want to come and have some fun?"

  "Qing Huan, I..." Xiao Qian thought about refusing at first, but then felt that he had gotten used to rejecting her.

  "Alright, I'm free for the next few days too, name a place and I'll go join."

  Lu Qinghuan heard this and quickly said, "That's great, I'll wait for you then."

  The banquet was held at a hotel.

  Xiao Qian knew very early that he would attend the wine party, because Lu Qinghuan sent him a text message and called to remind him the day before, so he packed up early.

  On the other hand.

  Gu Yu was just about to go out when he heard Jiang Xiaoxuan's call.

  This Jiang Xiaoxuan, has no shame to a certain extent, things have blown up like this, he still has the nerve to call.

  However, this is exactly what business needs - being shameless.

  Gu Yan knew that here, there were no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. When interests conflicted, they could fight to the death, but when interests were tied together, they became as close as brothers. None of this mattered.

  Gu Yu answered the phone with a hint of irony, laughing. "Director Jiang is so thoughtful to call me, is this a consolation? Don't worry, thanks to Director Jiang's mercy, I'm safe and sound now."

  "Tsk, tsk..." Jiang Xiaoxun said on the phone with a tone of great regret, "I wasn't trying to deal with you, you know that. I knew Xiao Qian couldn't bear to see you go to prison, so I deliberately provoked him. Now isn't everyone happy? Do you really want to bring it up again?"

  Gu Yan knew it was pointless to say anything, so she simply said calmly, "I just mentioned it in passing, what does Director Jiang want with me now?"

  "It's like this..." Jiang Xiaoxun raised his voice, "I'm having a wine party here and I'd like to invite you to attend."

  Gu Yu rolled her eyes, "Forget it, I'm not interested in any wine."

  "Sorry, I'm not really interested in wine parties."

  "Ah, I knew you'd say that, but I advise you to come and attend this wine party anyway. It's absolutely going to have interests beyond your expectations, really, Gu Yu." Jiang Xiaoxun's voice was filled with a few threads of excitement, his tone extremely confident.

  Gu Yu furrowed her brow, indeed feeling that it was very strange. She wondered what his purpose was, but she didn't want to get entangled with him again.

  "Gu Yan, if you don't come, you'll really regret it. I can guarantee that. This time, I'm not being malicious, I'm being completely sincere. If you don't come, it will truly make me very sad." Jiang Xiaoxuan spoke with a mouthful of sincerity.

  Gu Yu couldn't help but want to laugh, who would do bad things and notify others in advance? She didn't believe he would do good deeds either, he wasn't a Bodhisattva, he was a petty person.

  But she believed he wasn't the kind of person who would resort to drugging someone's drink, he had many opportunities to do so, but instead chose a more direct approach, directly expressing his interest in her, a married woman, and doing so with an air of inevitability.

  Gu Yan said, "Being able to make General Jiang sad is also my honor."

  "Director Gu... I remember, this time's pharmaceutical factory matter, wasn't it you who helped Xiao Lie?" Jiang Xiaoxun said.

  Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and had a bad idea.

  "What do you want to do?"

  "No big deal, I'm just reminding you that I still have business dealings with Xiao Ye. He's really something, giving away this trade secret to you for my sake. But... if others were to find out about this, who would dare cooperate with him again?"

  Gu Yu pursed her lips.

  This Jiang Xiaoxuan, isn't this a direct threat?!

  Gu Yu gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Fine... since that's the case, I'll go to the wine party and take a look."

  "Great! Director Gu, I knew it. You still trust me, and I said you'd be interested. You definitely won't regret it?"

  Don't trust her crap

  Is it okay to be completely threatened by him?

  Gu Yu secretly scolded for a long time, but she still had to quickly get ready and rush to the wine party scene.

  Drinking party...

  Xiao Qian followed Lu Qinghuan back and Lu Qinghuan looked at Xiao Qian with a smile, "You won't regret coming. This banquet is going to be especially grand."

  Xiao Qian nodded slightly and looked around, indeed seeing many familiar faces.

  He has been busy lately and indeed needs a good rest, thinking so, he lowered his head to take a look at Lu Qinghuan whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

  She wore a light yellow evening gown, looking refreshing and elegant, with her shoulders exposed, the thin shoulder strap dress always gave people a slender feeling, her whole person was set off very sunny, making people look at it and feel bright.

  He nodded and said, "It's really beautiful today."

  Lu Qinghuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't tease me."

  At this time, someone came over to chat next to them. Looking at the two of them, he first smiled and looked at Lu Qinghuan, praising "Miss Lu is really beautiful today."

  Lu Qinghuan is the protagonist tonight, she is a famous beauty illustrator, she has fame and beauty, in this era of habitual hype, she can actually be cultivated as a valuable commodity, recently even more so. Due to the plagiarism incident, she gained a lot of attention, and was discovered by people that she is really beautiful in person, beautiful and talented people are always sought after, so she accumulated many fans and had high fame. Just this evening, several people came to chat with her, admiring, curious, chatting, and even asking for manuscripts.

  Someone who had been chatting with her for a few sentences looked up and said to Xiao Qian with an envious face, "Director Xiao has great luck, Miss Lu is a rare talent and beauty, and her future prospects are boundless."

  Xiao Qian smiled faintly, "General Shen is joking, Qing Huan is my friend."

  "Oh, oh, it's a friend, friend, I mean that too." But his gaze at his friend was somewhat ambiguous.

  Xiao Qian felt annoyed in his heart, glanced at him and didn't bother to look at him again.

  Lu Qinghuan smiled and after being polite to the guests, said to Xiao Qian, "There's an exhibition of my works over there, want to take a look?"

  Xiao Qian smiled and followed her over, people passing by greeted Lu Qinghuan one after another, Lu Qinghuan responded calmly to everyone, and they all looked at Lu Qinghuan with admiration, thinking that she was really a good person, not arrogant, not proud, even if she had achievements, she was just like an ordinary person, without any airs, and didn't look complacent.

  Xiao Qian smiled as he looked at Lu Qinghuan, "I didn't expect that Qinghuan would also be a star now."

  Lu Qinghuan glared at him, "Are you also making fun of me?"

  Xiao Qian said, "No, I'm happy for you, all these years of hard work haven't been in vain."

  Lu Qing smiled faintly, with a hint of sigh and helplessness. "Yes, I'm also relieved to see that persistence in doing something can bring rewards. But actually, I didn't do anything special, I just kept painting all along."

  Xiao Qian knew that Lu Qinghuan was quite popular now, but he didn't expect her to be so well-liked and admired. Indeed, she was a beauty, loved to smile, loved to play coquettishly, was good at understanding people's intentions, and had a pure and lovely personality. Such a girl easily gave people a good impression, so it was understandable that some people wanted to make her famous and some people wanted to chase after her.

  Xiao Qian lowered his head and looked at her, and couldn't help but take another glance, feeling that she was indeed different from before.

  However, at this time, Xiao Qian saw Jiang Xiaoxun from afar. He was wearing a white grayish-colored suit, holding up a high-heeled cup, and looked like a refined young gentleman.

  Xiao Qian felt it wouldn't be a good thing when he saw him.

  But then Lu Qinghuan exclaimed on one side, "Isn't that Jiang Xiaoxun? I remember, he's the city's big financier."

  Xiao Qian furrowed his brow, "How do you know her?"

  Lu Qinghuan replied, "How could I possibly know someone so rich? The richest person I know is you, but he's so famous that I must have heard of him."

  Xiao Qian let out a cold snort and heard Lu Qinghuan say, "I've just always heard others mention it, and it seems like many people admire him."

  Just as they were talking, Xiao Qian saw Jiang Xiaoxun's gaze suddenly shift towards the direction of the door, and his smile lines instantly deepened.

  Xiao Qian also looked back and saw that Gu Yan had appeared at the door...
