The upstairs and the downstairs of the Lu family are two worlds.
Upstairs is quiet and undisturbed, and downstairs is often full of guests. Although everyone politely didn't communicate loudly, Zhou Chenxi and Lu Jie came downstairs and felt that it was a little inappropriate to hold Lu Jie's arm in public, so he quietly pulled out his hand.
Lu Ji noticed it, didn't say anything, and quickly put his hand down.
The whole process only took a few seconds, and someone saw it sharply.
Everyone came to the banquet at night, and it was not good to talk about the host's family in public, so even if they saw it, they would not say anything.
It was already dark, and the dim sum buffet table in the back garden was closed and changed to an indoor western-style buffet dinner.
Lu Ji greeted the guests, and Zhou Chenxi suddenly felt a little hungry, so bored around the living room, grabbed a plate and went to get something to eat.
Zhi Qi happened to come over with a plate. He had a lot of delicious food on his plate, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with the Lu family's buffet dinner.
While tasting the foie gras, Zhi Qi asked Zhou Chenxi, "Why did Mr. Lu find you, to talk about new advertising cooperation?"
"No," Zhou Chenxi looked around, "Why does he want to talk to me about cooperation? If he wants to talk, he should talk to you!"
Chi Chi was relieved.
Zhou Chenxi's recent development momentum is very good. Before participating in the audition of "Cat Monster", a big guy paved the way for him. Although Zhi Qi doesn't know who the big guy is, he is afraid that Zhou Chenxi will learn badly first.
At that time, either follow the boss, or leave the poor company and find another way out as a poor broker.
Now that Zhou Chenxi said this, Zhi Qi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason: "Don't worry, I will pay you back the perfume money as soon as possible."
Zhou Chenxi waved his hand, not caring about it at all.
"So why is he looking for you?" Zhi Qi was still very concerned about this matter. "Do you know what people were saying when I came out of the side hall just now?"
Zhou Chenxi turned to face Zhi Qi, indicating that he was listening, while his eyes were still looking for food.
He is not interested in Western food, eh, I feel that Western food is always a bit cold.
"They said that President Lu had kept a little star, and he was going to bring it over to meet Mrs. Lu today." Zhi Qi said.
"?!" Zhou Chenxi then turned his face, "Who is it? Why don't I know?"
Zhi Qi looked at him and said, "Hey, this story is spreading with nose and eyes, and everyone is waiting to see the excitement. Don't take it seriously. When you came downstairs with President Lu just now, many people looked at you. The eyes are not quite right. Be careful, if you are really misunderstood, I don't know how to help you with public relations. "
"Oh."
It was to remind him.
Zhou Chenxi said a few words perfunctory, and saw the eggs in his bowl, his eyes lit up: "Where did you come from, I want to eat it too!"
"Tsk, you know what to eat," Zhi Qi glanced at him with disgust and pointed to the side, "Just over there, did a chef see it?"
"It's also strange," Zhi Qi said, "the Lu family specially invited a chef to set up a table there. I thought at least a steak or something, but I didn't expect people to only cook eggs, or they would be taken away from far away. The film and television city invited me over."
"Wow, really?!" Zhou Chenxi was overjoyed and quickly picked up the dinner plate and ran over.
Zhi Qi: "..." This child is afraid that it is hopeless.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Lu arrived late. She was wearing a dark evening dress, her skin was smooth, and she looked young.
She is not tall, and with that slim dress, she looks weak and weak, which evokes people's desire for protection for no reason.
"Sorry, I'm late," Lin Yujiao smiled and apologized to the guests who came to greet him nearby, "I made an appointment with the master of Dazhi Buddhist Temple to listen to Zen, and I forgot the time as soon as I was absorbed in it."
"Mrs. Lu goes to Dazhi Buddhist Temple every year for her birthday. Listening to Zen is soothing. No wonder she looks so young."
Lin Yujiao nodded with a smile and came to the center of the main hall.
"Thank you for coming," she said with a slight smile, holding the microphone. "Today's birthday banquet is organized by my son Lu Ji, thank him. It's all his thoughts, everyone is free, please forgive me if you are not thoughtful. ."
The guests were polite and wished her a happy birthday, which she accepted with a smile.
After a while, Lu Ji came over, Lin Yujiao whispered a few words in his ear, Lu Ji smiled, reached out and hugged her gently.
"Something's wrong." Zhou Chenxi frowned and said while holding the dinner plate.
"What's wrong?" Zhi Qi asked him.
"How can ordinary people celebrate their birthdays like this," Zhou Chenxi said while eating egg roast, "My mother wouldn't thank me like this."
"Why don't I think so?" Zhi Qi didn't understand, "Isn't this birthday arranged by President Lu? What's wrong with the thank you? And how does your family compare to President Lu's?"
Zhi Qi didn't understand what Zhou Chenxi was thinking.
"I don't know, it's weird anyway." Zhou Chenxi said.
Not only that, Zhou Ma would not even thank Zhou Mingxuan.
Zhou Chenxi was still young at that time, and the Zhou family, like the Lu family, were both families that needed to communicate with each other.
Therefore, Zhou Mingxuan will not forget to organize Zhou's mother's birthday party.
Although their circles are not the same, the purpose is always the same.
Zhou Mingxuan is in charge of the Lu family, and the purpose of this birthday banquet is to allow him to broaden his social circle and reach various business cooperation between exchanges.
It is said that it is good to talk about business at the dinner table, and that is the truth.
Although everyone came with a purpose, Zhou Ma also knew that they were not just celebrating her birthday, but Zhou Ma still wouldn't give Zhou Mingxuan too many lines at the birthday party.
After all, Zhou's mother is the protagonist of the birthday party. At most, when people ask her, she inadvertently mentions: "Oh, today's banquet is organized by my son, what's the matter? Isn't that what it should be? What? You mean my youngest son? Hi? Don't mention it, I know silly music all day long, spoiled by his brother, look at the gift he gave, that's right, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha2 Hahaha… "
Although Zhou Chenxi was mocked by Zhou's mother, he knew that was what his mother should do.
To be shrewd and capable in front of guests can make others feel at ease with the Zhou family.
But for Mrs. Lu, she doesn't seem to know this.
It seemed that she was a little timid in such an occasion with many people, as if Lu Ji had been standing in front of her in turn, reassuring her.
"I told you that you don't understand." Zhou Chenxi was too lazy to explain to Zhi Qi, and suddenly couldn't eat anything.
Zhi Qi saw that there was no problem here, Zhou Chenxi just ate quietly and didn't do anything else that worried him, and went to continue communicating with his colleagues.
After a while, Lu Ji came over and asked Zhou Chenxi in a low voice, "How is it, can I have enough to eat today?"
Although Zhou Chenxi really wasn't full, he still touched his stomach and said, "If only there was a place to be paralyzed."
Lu Ji understood in an instant and said with a smile, "Since I'm full, my mother wants to see you and come with me?"
Zhou Chenxi suddenly became nervous.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ji glanced at him, "Don't worry, she's a good person, and she won't embarrass you, just meet her once."
"I just didn't think about what to say to her." Zhou Chenxi explained, but he sorted out his suit and walked to the side hall with Lu Ji.
There were not many people in the side hall, and it was very quiet. There was a small coffee table in the corner, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Mrs. Lu was sitting there drinking tea.
Zhou Chen said, "Mrs. Lu."
Lin Yujiao stood up hurriedly: "It's Chenxi? Didn't you call me auntie before? Don't be so polite, sit down."
Zhou Chenxi sat down opposite her.
Lu Ji stood beside him and helped to make tea.
Lin Yujiao glanced at Lu Ji and said with a smile, "We An'an are very good people. You should know that he has nothing to worry about. I was just afraid that he would be too busy and no one would be able to take care of him for me in the future, that's why I did it. Those things before, hey, don't worry about it."
Zhou Chenxi doesn't understand - why doesn't he understand a word
"Oh, An An is Lu Ji's nickname." Lin Yujiao explained.
It turns out that Lu Ji's nickname is "An An"
Zhou Chenxi was instantly refreshed, and quietly blinked at Lu Ji, as if he had discovered some great secret.
Lu Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What I mean is," Lin Yujiao explained with a smile when she saw that he didn't understand, "I didn't know that An An had such a relationship with you before, so after seeing Yun Yi on the show, I encouraged the director to make you talk. Yun Yi is a good guy. Girls, just want to be strong, I always wanted to match them... Later, I also heard from An An before I found out that it turned out that he didn't like women... "
"Mom." Lu Ji interrupted her.
Lin Yujiao came back to her senses.
Now Lu Ji is just taking Zhou Chenxi and Lin Yujiao to get acquainted, what if they talk too much and scare people away
What do you not like about women
Don't like strong women
Zhou Chenxi was at a loss, but still said, "It's okay, it's all about consensuality. It's the most responsible thing for each other to talk about some things."
Lin Yujiao nodded in agreement and glanced at Lu Ji.
Lu Ji was sure that what the two of them said was definitely not the same thing, so he was a little helpless.
It's almost time, Lin Yujiao should go back to rest early. She doesn't seem to be in good health recently, she always has a cold, and she has to send a few important guests out later, so don't waste time.
Lu Ji originally wanted to bring Zhou Chenxi and Lin Yujiao to meet, lest Lin Yujiao be worried and arrange for him to meet with others.
This time was just right, he told Lin Yujiao that Zhou Chenxi had not agreed to his pursuit, which gave Lin Yujiao hope, and said that he would not fall in love with others in the future, so that Lin Yujiao was psychologically prepared.
Lin Yujiao took Lu Ji's life events very seriously, but she didn't have much opinion on other matters. When Lu Ji said this, she would definitely be nervous, for fear of saying the wrong thing in front of Zhou Chenxi.
This is enough.
Lu Ji said, "Mom, let's take some guests out first. Uncle Jiang has been waiting there for a long time."
"Okay," Lin Yujiao stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "What should I say when I see him later?"
"Normal communication is fine. Uncle Jiang is just here to see you, don't take his kindness away."
The three of them were about to walk out of the side hall when they suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Why can't we let us in? Isn't today Lin Yujiao's birthday? What's wrong with my brother and sister celebrating her birthday? It's getting more and more promising. Now the Lu family is Lu Ji in power, but our elders are not dead yet! What's the matter, Lin Yujiao doesn't plan to take us seriously?"
Lin Yujiao heard it, looked at Lu Ji and walked out.
Lin Yujiao was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, so Lu Ji walked over and said, "It's not too late to go back and ask your family what Mingshen has done before saying this."
"Lu Ji?" The woman smiled when she saw Lu Ji, "It's really getting more and more eloquent. Why, are you going to keep your uncles and aunts out?"
"Lu Mingshen tampered with Lu's business secret documents without authorization, and used the name of Lu's name to swindle. The direct loss to Lu's is conservatively estimated to be 30 million. The lawyer is collecting evidence, don't worry, aunt," Lu Ji edited his own Xie Xiu said, "The lawyer's letter is on the way. You don't need to remind me at that time. I will definitely invite you to sit in my office."
"You..." The woman was very angry.
She was followed by a few people, well-dressed, but with a rogue-like expression, as if she wanted to speak for the woman. Several security guards from the Lu house arrived in time to drive them out: "Come on, or we'll call the police!"
Several people were blocked by tall security guards, and they left after seeing that someone was planning to call the police.
Most of the guests were not surprised. After the gang left, they chatted with each other, or greeted Lin Yujiao, and indirectly comforted her a few words.
Lu Ji was talking to a guest with Lin Yujiao when Zhi Qi came over.
"We've never been invited by the Lu family before," Zhi Qi said softly, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing, and you can see that people are very calm. I've heard a little about the Lu family, and Mr. Lu came all the way, eh... Not really. It's easy, his father is the son of the Lu family, he heard that he was lost once when he was a child, and was found when he was an adult."
"Old President Lu loves this lost eldest son very much. After all, he is a relative, and he lost it. He has a kind of compensation mentality. Other brothers and sisters in the Lu family don't think so. I heard that President Lu's father, with him Those brothers and sisters don't look alike at all..." Zhi Qi lowered his voice, "Of course, it's also a rumor, we haven't seen it before, these brothers are not reconciled, they insist on the paternity test to produce evidence. Mr. Lu was forced several times, went to the hospital for two paternity tests, and each time it was confirmed that he was biological, but he couldn't stop the mouths of those guys."
"Later, Mr. Lu had no choice, he was going to rewrite his will and share the shares that he had reserved for Mr. Lu's father. He just didn't plan to let him take control of the Lu family. Whoever has the ability will have the final say. The rest of the Lu family are so united, Mr. Lu's father will definitely quit, in case the old Mr. Lu dies, he won't know when he will be stripped and eaten by them, so he decisively broke up with the girlfriend he was talking about and married Mr. Lu's current mother."
"Later you learned that the business the Lin family did at that time happened to complement the Lu family's. Without the help of the Lin family, the Lu family could not have grown to this point. Although the Lin family is now in decline, the Lu family has nothing to do with other people today. It's Mr. Lu's own ability, but there are always some people who are still dreaming, thinking that Mr. Lu's mother and son stole their things."
Zhou Chenxi has seen these in the book, and I really saw it with my own eyes, and the feeling is still very different.
Zhi Qi said: "These people always come to make trouble, probably because Lu Zong can't do anything to them. It can't be done. After all, they are related. It's the Lu family who makes trouble too ugly, so everyone is surprised. No wonder. It's customary to go out and forget about it. After all, no one who can come here wants to offend the Lu family, right?"
Xie Xueyu's agent told Zhi Qi about this. It's not uncommon for the rich and powerful family to have such a mess. After all, not everyone's family is as harmonious as Zhou Chenxi's family.
I heard before that there was an old rich man who found a young mistress in his 70s. The mistress didn't know where to get a child, but he said it belonged to the old rich man. , let your original partner and the mistress live in harmony.
The Qing Dynasty has perished, and half of the human body has fallen into the loess, so what are they going to do with three wives and four concubines.
The original wife was in her fifties, and compared to the old rich man, she was considered an "old husband and young wife". She was also able to endure it. After consulting a lawyer, she calculated that the old rich man was only a few days away from death. Therefore, in order to prevent the rich man from divorcing her, he was stunned to be commensurate with the young girl and sister. The old rich man would come out as hostess to entertain guests every year after his birthday.
This kind of thing, outsiders can't see it, it's the secret of the rich and powerful, and the real interests are somewhat related to see it, but it's nothing to do with yourself, at most listen to it as a gossip.
Only Zhou Chenxi was really distressed for Lu Ji.
The guests dispersed, Madam Lu and Lu Ji sent them out, Zhi Qi wanted to drive Zhou Chenxi back, but Lu Ji stopped him.
"Chenxi," Lu Ji said, "wait and leave, I'll see you off later."
Zhou Chenxi asked Zhi Qi to come back first, and Zhi Qi asked Zhou Chenxi worriedly: "Go home early, and text me when you get home."
He looked like he was afraid that Lu cum would eat him.
"Got it!" Zhou Chenxi said, "It's okay, let's go."
Zhi Qi left uneasy.
When the crowd dispersed, Lu Ji said to him, "Sorry, did I scare you today?"
Zhou Chenxi looked around, Lin Yujiao had already gone upstairs to rest, the security guards were busy seeing off guests, no one noticed, Zhou Chenxi went up and grabbed Lu Ji's hand.
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, earning, but in the end he couldn't bear to get his hands out.
"Give you strength," Zhou Chenxi said, holding his hand, "I will stand with you no matter what."
Lu Ji lowered his eyes.
Zhou Chenxi held him for a full five minutes, until someone came, and then slowly let go: "Are you better?"
"Much better." Lu Ji said.
He forgot everything at this moment, only one thought.
I want to kiss this person in front of me, very, very much.
