Qiu Qian, who was beside Bai Lang, seemed to notice Bai Lang's sight.
Qiu Qian followed and looked over, and it happened that Qu Quan's eyes also turned to the two of them.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar smile appeared on Qu Quan's face. And after Qu Quan's eyes turned to Qiu Qian, Yu Guang swept over Bai Lang, matching the smile that happened to fade away; just like the greeting just ended, there was no abnormality, but Bai Lang felt a strange feeling. Share coldness.
But this is also a matter of course. Bai Lang had nothing to do with Qu Quan, so he also turned his eyes away and continued to look around the venue. After looking at it for a while, as Qiu Qian said, Rong Siqi didn't seem to be present at this banquet.
Qiu Qian lowered his head and approached Bai Lang, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at? Qu Quan just greeted us."
Today, Qiu Qian rarely wore a three-piece orthodox suit, the main color of silver and gray, a black shirt, and a dark purple tie, still looking unruly. Maybe it's an unaccustomed relationship, the tie has been messed up by Qiu Qian at this moment.
"Only you, not us," Bai Lang glanced around, making sure that the corner where they were standing was not conspicuous before reaching out, straightening Qiu Qian's tie, and pressing his neck.
Qiu Qian raised his chin to cooperate, watching Bai Lang's movements with satisfaction.
"About Ququan, if you ask, I will answer. If you don't ask, you don't want to know."
Bai Lang smoothed out Qiu Qian's suit jacket; he had learned this action carefully in "Fuhua Suit", "I still believe in you."
"Still?" Qiu Qian grabbed Bai Lang's hand, "Does this mean it remains to be seen?"
Bai Lang said lightly, "Trust is a pure thing. There is or not, that's all."
When he said that, Bai Lang seemed distant again. Just like the previous investigation, Qiu Qian was still unable to see through Bai Lang completely. So Qiu Qian knew that he had to break the piece of paper separated by a bucket as soon as possible, otherwise there would be no possibility between them.
Qiu Qian squeezed the hand in the palm of his hand; now he tried to grab it.
"Very good. Let's go and say hello to the master."
Bai Lang nodded, but Qiu Qian didn't let go of Bai Lang's hand, he took him and walked directly to the other end of the venue.
Bai Lang, who was being dragged around, hesitated for a few steps, and then followed with great strides.
Think about it, isn't this kind of publicity the result of death in the previous life? In this world, I don't want to ask, but it seems to be accepted by force, Bai Lang thought with a wry smile.
◇◇◇
Tonight's dinner is set up in the form of a buffet.
Beverages and food are self-collected, and a dining area is set aside for VIPs to sit freely.
The advantage of this method is that it allows guests to communicate freely without being restricted by seats, but if you just can't find someone to talk to in the venue, it's really boring to hang around all night. That's why, it was clearly stated in the invitation that you are welcome to bring your companions to attend, and it would not be considered a rude thing to bring several artists who Bai Lang just saw to attend. However, what kind of partner this partner is, it is left to each person to interpret.
Today's birthday star, Rong Ai, is now accompanied by several Mesozoic members of the Rong family, accepting congratulations from the guests one by one. Rong Ai just came to the stage and gave a simple thank you speech. It was considered a banquet, and there were no other speeches. So it's good to just talk to the master's family, and the Rong family, as the country's leading domestic shipping industry, does have this status.
Rong Ai wore a golden silk Tang suit today, even though she was short and thin, she looked quite energetic.
When Bai Lang and Qiu Qian passed by, Rong Ai had just returned to greet Hong Qi in a wheelchair. There are only a handful of people in the field who can make the master of the Rong family come forward to thank him in person.
Rong Ai smiled all night, and when she saw Qiu Qian, she took the initiative to stretch out her hand, "Ah, isn't this Xiao Qiu? Welcome, young people are willing to come to celebrate my old man's birthday, I feel much younger."
The Qiu family controls the shipping and the Rong family controls the air transportation. The business has had a vertical partnership from a very early age. In recent years, Qiu Qian has represented the Qiu family in shipping, and has had a lot of contact with the new generation of the Rong family.
Qiu Qian smiled and stepped forward and shook hands firmly, "I wish you a long life and long blessings."
"Thank you for your blessings. I also thank you for those pots of kumquats. They look bright and lovable, but I can't put it down." Rong Ai smiled, accurately avenging the congratulations that Qiu Qian had sent earlier; all aspects of this diplomatic skill are carefulness.
"As long as Rong Lao likes it," Qiu Qian said with a smile, "don't just look at it, take it off and eat it, it's good for the body. This way of eating, how about Bai Lang, can you introduce it to Rong Lao?" on Long.
"Hello, old man, if you want to use it, you can wash it with the skin and make tea. It can relieve qi and relieve depression, resolve phlegm and eliminate food," Bai Lang said after a brief pause; , need to avoid milk products.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Rong Ai's eyes. After all, some people like to bring celebrities to attend; just like a lady with a designer bag, Rong Ai has long been taken for granted, but this kind of companion is temporary, everyone has a tacit understanding, and will not let people intervene in important conversations. Qiu Qian is not an ignorant little head, he has brought starlets before, and he follows the rules very well, but now...
"So that's it," Rong Ai's heart turned, and then she smiled at Bai Lang, "It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Bai. It seems that our Secretary Qi was taken care of by Mr. Bai a lot before, and we haven't even thanked Mr. Bai yet." After speaking the dialogue Lang stretched out his hand, which indicated that he also regarded Bai Lang as a serious guest.
Bai Lang shook his head cautiously.
"Yes, it's good. Young people can do whatever they like, that is, try their best in everything," Rong Ai nodded with a smile and turned to look left and right, "Boss, did Si Qi not come today?"
A middle-aged man with a serious face stepped forward and replied, "No, there is a class tonight."
"It's okay to stop for a while, let him come over and chat with Mr. Bai," Rong Ai explained slowly, "there are not many young people this time, so it's not good for Mr. Bai to feel bored."
After showing this attitude, a woman in a beige suit was a few steps away. Seeing that she was also successful in her career, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Grandpa, I don't know, Mr. Bai is quite familiar with our Xiaozan. I came to visit with some snacks, but Xiao Zan didn’t say anything, but I thought about it for a long time.”
Rong Ai was really surprised, "Oh, it's amazing that Xiao Zan can remember him."
When it comes to children, Bai Lang's expression is much more relaxed, "It happens to be a neighbor, Xiaohai often quarrels to play with Xiaozan, so I'm sorry to disturb him."
Rong Ai was a little confused, "Xiao Hai?"
Qiu Qian smiled and replied, "My son, Qiu Xiaohai, agrees with your family."
"Such a coincidence? No one told me," said Rong Ai with a smile on her face after being surprised, "that's really fate, I'll look for it another day, let's have a meal and get to know each other, haha, I can make that old lover of mine. The cheeky little grandson of Xuan is thinking about, I really want to meet him.”
The topic then turned to family, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious for a while, until a gentle voice interrupted the conversation.
"What's so pleasant to talk about, Eighth Brother," I saw a slightly chubby and gentle middle-aged man, holding the elegant new actress Fei Hong in a dress, and approached the corner with a smile.
Bai Lang recognized this man. He is one of the rivals who compete with Qiu Qian for the new generation of the Qiu family, the third elder of the Qiu family, Qiu Kuo. A few years later, he was stomped under his feet by Qiu Qian, and he even appeared on the news page at that time.
Qiu Kuosi said, "Today's occasion, it is not polite to occupy too much time for the master. As a brother, I have to come over and remind me, otherwise outsiders will think that something is wrong with my enemy's family."
Qiu Qian smiled, but his eyes turned cold. Having said that, everyone could hear that this was alluding to Qiu Qian's lack of tutoring.
To talk about Qiu Qian's father; he is also the current head of the Qiu family, Qiu Enxin. In addition to doing well in shipping and casino business, another deed is that he has a four-bedroom wife. And Qiu Qian was not a wild species born in one of the four houses, and he was only recognized when he grew up. The fact that a home is so large and complex is also known throughout the country.
So Qiu Qian did not shy away, and said lightly, "Remember to give birth or not to raise, the old man is also very busy."
With a few words, the hat of exposing family ugliness was put on the head of Qiu Kuo, who was provoked first.
Qiu Kuo's face was slightly stiff, so he could only clear his throat, turned around and saluted Rong Ai solemnly, "Mr. Rong Lao laughed. The younger generation, Qiu Kuo, is the third child of the Qiu family. This time, I came here to congratulate the old gentleman on his father's behalf. Congratulations to Rong Lao. Mr. Fu is like Donghai, and his longevity is Nanshan. The younger generation has studied with his father for many years. He often hears his father mentioning the deeds of the old gentleman. The old gentleman is generous with his advice and suggestions.”
With a smile on his face, he reached out and shook hands with Qiu Kuo without discrimination. "It turned out to be a child of the enemy family, welcome, welcome."
Qiu Kuo used his hands and bowed seventy-five degrees with a very respectful attitude.
It's just that when Rong Ai's hand has not been retracted, there is an extra slender hand beside him.
However, Fei Hong smiled and waited to hold it, "Junior Fei Hong, I also wish the old man the best of luck in the new year of Deyan, the sun and the moon will grow brighter."
Although the words are used well, the etiquette is from the West, and it is not wrong for the lady to ask for a handshake. But Rong Ai is still an old-fashioned old man in some respects. The host and the guest clearly value the seniors and seniors. Fei Hong's move is neither big nor small.
Rong He, who was called "Boss" just now, stretched out his hand and shook it, "Welcome, Miss Jiu Yangfei's name."
Fei Hong was so slightly praised, her pretty face was so happy, she immediately forgot about the strangeness.
The handshake on both sides ended at the same time, and the embarrassment that Rong Ai had to refuse was resolved without a trace. It's just after this incident, seeing Qiu Kuo's unaware and vaguely complacent look on his face, his amiable smile couldn't help but fade away. It happened that Qiu Qian Qian was leaving at this time; he didn't seem to want to stay with his brother any longer. Rong Ai greeted him a few words to have fun tonight, and saw that Qiu Qian naturally took Bai Lang's hand and walked away.
And a pair of backs, self-satisfied, neither humble nor arrogant, they look harmonious. Rong Ai couldn't help but sigh, even if the two men did violate the tradition, the feeling of getting along was much more comfortable than that of the overly attentive pair of men and women in front of them.
Not long after, Rong Siqi entered through the side door wearing a formal suit, causing a small discussion among the guests present.
Until this time, few outsiders knew about the relationship between Rong Siqi and the Rong family; at ordinary business banquets, even if there were children of the Rong family, Rong Siqi was never seen. When he appeared at this moment, he saw Rong Siqi first went to Rong Ai to talk, was patted on the shoulder, and then walked towards Bai Lang coolly with half the gaze of the venue.
"Hello Lang," Rong Siqi said as soon as he arrived, "sorry for being late."
Bai Lang was holding the fruit at the moment, and asked with a smile, "I am the one. I didn't think I would let you go, have you eaten?"
Rong Siqi shook his head honestly, "Not yet."
It's seven or eight now.
Bai Lang asked more curiously, "They said you are in class, what class are you taking?"
Rong Siqi had a slightly troubled expression, "English class."
Just like an ordinary high school student, Bai Lang laughed, "Feeling hard?"
Rong Siqi nodded heavily.
Bai Lang was very happy to see it, and only then did he say that he had some ways to learn, but at this time, a big black cherry was stuffed in his mouth.
Seeing Qiu Qian beside him, holding a plate full of meat, he raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "Sit down and talk after eating, what's the hurry."
Bai Lang was helpless, biting the cherries and not being able to speak, so he pointed to Rong Siqi where they were sitting, indicating that they were sitting in that corner.
After Bai Lang turned and walked away, Qiu Qian glanced at Rong Siqi up and down, with a warning, "Let's talk, Bai Lang has a partner." Speak, although it is obvious that there is no spark between the two.
Unexpectedly, Rong Siqi looked back without fear, and asked suddenly, "Sister Fang said, how much does Brother Lang owe you?"
Qiu Qian raised his eyebrows high, "What are you asking about?"
"I'll pay him back."
"You help him pay it back?" Qiu Qian narrowed his eyes; could it be that he saw it wrong, "After paying it off?"
Rong Siqi was silent for a while and replied, "Brother Lang will pay me back slowly."
Qiu Qian couldn't help laughing, somewhat understanding why Bai Lang liked to talk to him.
"Okay, little brother, go get something, eat more and grow up."
Rong Siqi couldn't understand and frowned, "You haven't answered me yet."
Qiu Qian smiled happily, "Now he doesn't owe me money, he owes something else." After that, he walked away with his plate.
And none of the above pictures were missed by Qu Quan, who was far away at the other end of the venue.
