Gu Hengbo reacted faster: "How could that be? You called everyone? No one answered?"
Ji Ziyin looked as if she had been slapped in the face. Her face turned pale and looked quite ugly. “Well, either no one answered or the phone was turned off.”
She even suspected that someone was deliberately messing with her.
Gu Hengbo saw that she had no other options, and his mind was dizzy. He had invited these people here in his own name! If this went wrong...
No, can't mess it up!
He took a deep breath, took out his cell phone, found Shi Fu's number, and dialed it with trepidation.
Shi Fu is one of the members of WAL, he must know something!
"Beep..." Gu Hengbo's heart was in his throat.
Fortunately, after a few beeps, the call was connected.
Gu Hengbo stood up almost impatiently, walked to the side quickly and made a phone call: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you come to the celebration party? Aren't you from WAL? According to the rules..."
Before he could finish his words.
Shi Fu's usual rigid voice came from the other end of the phone: "According to the rules, we have to go there. But..."
Gu Hengbo was anxious and angry: "But what?"
Shi Fu said indifferently: "But we have to welcome a more important person, so we won't go."
Gu Hengbo was still in a confused state.
Shi Fu seemed to be deliberately irritating him: "Don't you know? The investors behind WAL are here. We all received the news that we are going to have a meal at a club not far from you. Probably no one will go to your place tonight."
Gu Hengbo felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue, and felt a little dazed.
He hung up the phone and returned to the entrance of the banquet hall like a wandering soul, facing the faces of Ji Xiao and others who were looking at him inquiringly.
Gu Hengbo was silent for a long time before he uttered, "No one is coming tonight."
**
Qiao Nian received a call from Ye Wangchuan at 6:50, asking her to have dinner at Shanhai Pavilion. She left at 7:00 and arrived at the place Ye Wangchuan sent her in about 20 minutes.
Before entering the house, she received a strange text message: [You again? Qiao Nian, is it fun for you to do this? ]
Qiao Nian took a look at the text message and added it to the blacklist, not bothering to check who sent her the message.
Judging from the angry tone.
It's just the same few people coming and going.
Ji Ziyin or Leonard, Nie Qingru and others.
She didn't know who sent her the text message this time, but she didn't want to pay attention to these people.
After she added the number to the blacklist, she put the phone back in her pocket and walked into the club with one hand in her pocket.
The private room Ye Wangchuan sent her was in the "Shan" box of Shanhai Pavilion, and the waiter dutifully opened the door for her.
"Miss Qiao, we're here."
She looked up and found that in addition to people she hadn't seen for a long time, there were many familiar faces in the box. Shi Fu and Zhou Zhou were in it, but she didn't recognize some of the others.
When Shi Fu and Zhou Zhou saw her, they were also stunned.
Zhou Zhou reacted the fastest, and quickly stood up and waved to her: "S...Qiao Nian, come here, come and sit here with me."
There were seven or eight other people in the box, all staring at her with stunned and surprised expressions, as if they were wondering why she pushed the door in.
Qiao Nian retracted his gaze, raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, walked coolly to Zhou Zhou, pulled out a chair and sat down.
After she sat down, she took out her cell phone from under the table with an expressionless face, found someone's WeChat and sent a message.
[Q: What's going on?]
